Shipwreck
The past:
There was a legend passed down through generations of a tribe that worshipped and followed faithfully behind dragons. It was a time where war raged between humans and dragons. The tribe sought the protection of dragons who sided with them. Not just any dragons after all, they knew that just as there was purity and light in the world, there was also darkness and evil. Seven dragons, which protected them with their wisdom and strength and blessed their kin with their immense strength and magical power. Those blessed by the dragons were called 'Dragon whisperers' because they were the only ones who could speak with the dragons. As war ragged the king of dragons, a great dragon of fire, called upon the tribe's seven chosen dragon whisperers and had them each blessed with a much greater power surpassing that of even the gods by a different dragon.
With that said they were sent off by the great dragon king to annihilate the evil dragons while the dragon king's own blessed individual fought against their human leader, Acnologia. Victory was claimed and these tribe individuals became known as 'Dragon Slayers'. In the end, to protect their powers from being stripped once they died, they bound their magic to a special gem that would absorb their powers and move on to their next holder when the time came. Everything was finally at peace. But as all legends have a golden age of praise, they also have a time where they are unfortunately forgotten. But in a not so distant time, a new legend will be born connecting the souls of two individuals who'll save the world. A meeting so strange yet familiar between the two will forever change their completely separate worlds. This is the legend of the bond between the Fire Dragon Slayer and the Maiden of the Stars.
Lucy's POV
Have you ever felt that sensation that your life was always just a routine? Yeah, you probably haven't because I'm sure your life is more free and exciting. Well, at least more than mine. Not that I'm saying that anyone's life is boring. But seriously, ever since I was five, my life revolved about how to be a proper 'lady' or how my dresses shouldn't't be anywhere above my ankles. Or something even more stupid like how a proper lady should strictly stay at home reading, serving tea, and that shit. And if my father was gracious enough to give a damn about me, he'd take me to his dinner events with his old friends and talk about his new discoveries.
That's about the only things I enjoyed since my mother passed away. Magic and adventure were calls to me that didn't't go into my father's good side, but when he talked about his new projects and such, he talked so passionately about magic that it reminded me a bit of how he was before my mother was gone. Everything had changed when she left. She'd fallen ill from disease when she went with my father on one of his journeys, and died when I was five. From there everything went downhill. She'd given me her magical keys in secret knowing my father would continue to blame his passion for magic for her death.
She knew he'd prohibit me from using magic at all cost, but I've been using it this whole time he's been gone. So here I was about to do something reckless that I'd surely get punished for. Yeah, that's right. Lucy Heartfilia was going to break one of her father's rules and sneak onto his ship to go explore some shit. Excuse my language, I meant I was going to explore new places. How's that for lady like. Anyways, here I am cramped in a crate of apples. Heaven knows how I even fit here. And then there was that rude guy that said the crate was heavier. Screw him for calling me fat! And I crawled out the side looking both ways to make sure no one was there and to my unfortunate luck, once I stood up and dusted myself of, there was Jude heartfilia arms crossed and an angry scowl on his face.
Whoops. The worst part was that my pink gown had slightly ripped from the bottom which in my opinion seemed to make him scowl more. "LUCY HEARTFILIA!" he yelled out the top of his lungs. "Uh, hello father", I smiled sweetly yet sheepishly. Damn me, and my great hiding abilities.

Regular POV
"Ah come on, father!" Lucy begged as Jude led her up the steps of the ship to deck by the arm. "Lucy, you insolent brat! How dare you sneak onto the ship?" He growled. Lucy looked down and frowned immediately, catching Jude's attention quickly. "All I wanted was to see for myself", she muttered her voice trembling. "What?" Jude asked not catching quite what she had said. Lucy looked up tears filling her eyes making Jude soften his glare.
"I said that all I wanted was to see for myself. Whenever you took me to your dinner parties with your fellow researchers, you talked about magic so passionately, that it made me want to see what you discovered myself. Like how you did…with mother", she cried wiping at her tears with her gloved hands. Jude sighed heavily. "You don't even have magic at your disposal to protect you, Lucy. I can't risk getting you hurt", Jude tried to explain. "But that's how much you've ignored me that you don't know that I do use magic", Lucy looked at him.
Jude seemed confused, until his eyes widened seeing Lucy pull out an all too familiar ring of keys. "Gate of the lion, I open thee, Leo", Lucy yelled after having pulled one of the keys. Said person, Leo, appeared on one knee grinning charmingly at Lucy. "Hi Loki", Lucy smiled. He had orange locks styled into spikes, dark shades, and black suit. "At your service, my beloved Lucy", Loki grinned at her. "Your mother's keys, but how?" Jude asked simply in awe and shock.
"Mother…before passing away she called me in and told me to train with the keys. She mentioned that Capricorn would train me, and that she didn't't want you to blame yourself for her death", Lucy said simply as she dismissed Loki back to the spiritual world. "Okay... Lucy I'll let you come just this once and if all goes well I might reconsider taking you on more so behave", Jude warned her. Lucy squealed, tears forgotten as she hugged her father. "Thank you, father! I'm so excited!" Jude coughed before sternly looking at his daughter, "Lucy that is not how a Heartfilia behaves." Lucy squeaked and straightened up. "Please do forgive me father. But if I may ask, what are we in search of?" Lucy asked.
"Well, if you must know we are looking for Tenrou Island. It was rumored to be protected by magic and what lies ahead is supposed to be the shrine of the seven dragons that hold a gem each. They grant their holders an insurmountable amount of magic", Jude explained as he examined his map. Lucy was in awe. Not only did it call out adventure and magic, but mystery. She could already fill excitement consuming her even more than before. "And if I've heard the legend correctly today would mark the ceremony of the seven dragons which is held whenever the chosen of the dragons are of the coming age of 18 as the first generation of chosen", Lucy grinned. "Child, how did you know?" Jude asked her impressed. "I happened to find a book in our library with different ceremony culture from times back", Lucy shrugged.
Jude just sighed and was about to say something when the boat shook a little too violently for anyone's liking. Jude looked up and cursed under his breath. "I hadn't noticed the sky or the sea", Jude muttered as he ordered his servants around to pull the sails. The crashing rain was unexpected. It came with no warning and the winds suddenly increased. 'What? There's something strange here. I'm sensing some strange magic power' Lucy thought.
"Lucy! Get down to safety. I'll handle everything up here!" Jude yelled. Lucy looked one more time still troubled, and then gave a run before a flash of lightning struck the ship. Lucy yelled as she was thrown sideways almost over board if not for her quick reflex to grab onto the railing. Her keys slowly slipped from her grasp and fell in the roaring water. Lucy's eyes widened in panic. "NO! They're the only thing left of my mother!" She yelled letting go and falling into the angry ocean. She managed to grab the ring before a wave rapidly advanced and she was immersed under water.
She tried holding her breath, desperately trying to push against the strong currents, but to no avail. And just as her vision was beginning to fade. She managed to feel someone grasp her wrist and pull her.
~~xXXx~~
"Is...She…" a voice muttered. Lucy felt her consciousness coming back. "H-Hello?" a slightly shaky voice muttered. Lucy's eyes fluttered open slowly as she came into view with a teen. It was a girl about her age with blue locks brought back by a brown headband and the loose locks had wavy ends. She was pretty with big brown eyes and cute little mouth. She had two blue lines marked with paint, one under each eye. She wore a two piece outfit made of skin in brown and had blue designs running down her arms with one gold bangle attached to each arm.
"Uh, hello?" Lucy answered confused. It was obvious that's shed answer confused after thinking she'd be dead. The girl smiled at her suddenly. "I'm so glad you're alive!" She perked up as if she's known Lucy for a long time. "Oh, by the way I'm known as Blue Hydrangea, but my real name is Levi Mcgarden! Nice to meet you", Levy smiled brightly. "I'm Lucy Heartfilia, but umm Levy...where am I?" Lucy asked confused. "Oh silly me! You must be confused! We actually found you almost drowning, but one of our tribe members managed to save you. You are on Tenrou Island", Levy explained. "Tenrou Island?" Lucy grabbed at her head. That name was ringing in her head, but she couldn't seem to remember from where.
In fact, she didn't seem to remember quite a bit as if the waves had taken away her memory and all she recalled was a violent storm and her father. "Did anyone else wind up here?" Lucy asked desperately. "Umm...no you were the only one we found", Levy said confused. "So when you said 'we saved' who did?" Lucy asked again. "Well, you're actually inside my little hut here in our tribe, Fairy Tail. My husband saved you", Levy beamed obviously proud. "Fairy Tail? Sounds enchanting", Lucy smiled relaxing. This girl seemed harmless and her infectious energy reached Lucy.
Her eyes widened suddenly. "W-Wait did you say your husband saved me? Just how old are you?" Lucy asked in shock. Levy blinked, "I'm 17. I'm lucky to have married Gajeel you know. It's an honor actually", Levy smiled fondly. She was obviously attached to whoever this Gajeel person was. Lucy looked down at her close finding her dress gone and replaced with what seemed a silk dress covering her chest leaving her arms, neck and shoulder exposed and reaching down to meet right at her thighs. She noticed her arms had similar gold bangles to that of Levy and white markings on her arms. Her ash blonde hair was left in a scrunched up to a wavy style and decorated with a flower crown.
Lucy admire her outfit, and slightly blushed at how exposed she was. Never had she been this exposed to anyone. "Come on, Lucy. I want you to meet everyone", Levy smiled pulling her out the hut. "Wow, it's night", Lucy noted as she let herself be dragged to a huge bonfire already in place. So far this was filling Lucy with curiosity and she wanted to know more about this tribe. She looked to see a lot of people sitting on logs surrounding the fire. They all had similar attires to Levy except for the men who were merely shirtless and had a sort of skin made pants or shorts to their calves. They all looked straight at her in awe.
"Everyone this is Lucy Heartfilia, the girl we saved today", Levy introduced them. They all stood with grins and lights smiles of acknowledgement. The first to present herself was a gorgeous red head. Her hair was straight down to her hips and had intense dark brown eyes. "Nice to meet you I'm known as Ruby Warrior, but my formal name is Erza Scarlet. In the name of our chief I welcome you to Fairy Tail", the girl smiled with a bow. Lucy nodded bowing back. The next was a teen around her age as well with dark black hair with a shine of blue and dark blue eyes adorned his features. He was handsome and muscular.
Lucy wasn't used to seeing a man in such a state and blushed furiously. "I'm ice leopard but my full name is Gray Fullbuster", Gray nodded to her before bowing. A girl was next and had a darker shade of blue hair and brown eyes. "I'm sky dragon, but my full name is Wendy Marvell", the girl bowed. "Look it's really nice to meet you all and what not, but I need to search for my father", Lucy explained trying to be as kind as possible. "Ah, a new child, welcome. I know you must be concerned, but it is night. Please do stay for a while Lucy Heartfilia and when morning come you may search for your father", an old man interrupted her.
She saw all tribe members get on one knee. "Chief Makarov!" They all exclaimed in almost perfect unison. "So what do you say child tonight we have a special means of celebration", Chief Makarov smiled lightly. Lucy hummed in thought before giving a long sigh. "Well I guess staying wouldn't hurt knowing I'm stranded and all", Lucy chuckled. Makarov gave his own laugh before ordering that the celebration begin. The people cheered as food was piled on a long wooden table with drinks. Some of the members began to play their music and other began to dance. "So lovely", Lucy grinned.
She noticed Levy a feet away being hugged so lovingly by a muscular man with spiky longish black hair and piercings. Levy smiled kissing the man causing Lucy to look away in embarrassment. Erza came to her suddenly pulling her up from where she sat and danced. Lucy was a bit flustered before Erza encouraged her. "Come on, don't be shy. It's really fun once you get the hang of the beat", she chuckled twirling Lucy around. Before long, Lucy happily dance with many of the tribe members. She never remembered having this much fun before.
Gray gave her one final twirl as she was sent to the last partner. Lucy looked up a bit shock to see a new face. She hadn't noticed him until now that she was in his arms. He was extremely attractive. "Hi!" He grinned widely at her. "U-Uh hi!" Lucy laughed nervously. "Haven't seen you around before. Are you new to Fairy Tail?" He asked her. "Uh, yeah I was saved from the ocean some time ago", Lucy explained sheepishly trying to avoid looking so helpless. The enticing stranger twirled her so smoothly and swiftly, Lucy felt she was flying or floating even. "I'm Salamander, but well my name is Natsu Dragneel. And you are?" He asked giving her a boyish grin.
"Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia", she sputtered still flustered by such a muscular and attractive boy dancing with her. He was shirtless like the others, but he had a scaly white scar around his forehead with a white and red flower crown on his pink spiky locks. His eyes were slightly slanted and were a beautiful emerald color. There was a sudden change in music as it changed more to a slower tune with an added sound of flutes. Natsu grabbed her hands gently swaying her from side to side never breaking eye contact with her. Why was he looking so intensely at her? She could also feel someone else burning holes into her head. She reflexively turned to find a silver haired girl with hair to her shoulders glaring at her. Jealousy? Who knows, but Lucy was intimidated.
"Oh that's Lisanna Strauss, a childhood friend", Natsu casually remarked as if trying to get her attention back on him. They had just finished revolving around the fire when chief Makarov neared them with two slightly sunk small played with a liquid in them. Natsu offered his to Lucy as she smiled thankfully and drank the sweet fruit like liquid. Natsu looked at her expectantly as she got the hint to hand him the other. He drank the contents as well before they were returned to Makarov. Natsu chuckled pulling Lucy to the table to sit next to him. The members were in a sudden uproar as many of the tribe girls came up to remove Lucy's flower crown and replaced it with Natsu's as they did the same with Natsu.
"Wow this is all so exciting!" Lucy laughed in pure awe of their fun traditions. Natsu just laughed. "I know! It's actually thrilling, but there's one more thing we have to see", he said excitedly pulling her up again. He pulled her to a dragon shaped statue and for some reason she had that same empty feeling that there was something important she should remember. She shrugged as he placed a hand over a red stone and a light red light vibrated. It was warm and it slithered out to surround Lucy with what look like fireflies gliding in it.
"How does it feel?" Natsu asked her. "It's very warm and feels nice", Lucy muttered touching the floating stream of magic. Natsu looked at her and he seemed to have such a fond look on his face that as the fireflies illuminated her face, she smiled brightly. The magic soon enlarged surrounding Natsu as well and pushing them closer together. Lucy squeaked as she hit Natsu's chest and the red like tendril gripped onto Lucy's right hand and a red tattoo began to imprint on it. It was like a red dragon who's mouth was open and held an outline of a heart by its teeth. Lucy curiously touched it and it glowed slightly.
She looked to Natsu for an explanation, but he himself was looking at the same mark being inscribed in his own hand but on the left one. "W-What is this?" she asked. Natsu blinked and then slowly let a childish grin slip on his face. The tribe members neared them and cheered loudly. "Ah, so you were the one", Makarov nodded as if he had predicted something correctly. "Am the one?" she asked. "You see child, our god, the fire dragon, has deemed your worthy to be my son's mate", the old man smiled in approval. "Mate? What are you talking about?" Lucy said panic evident in her voice.
"You see, Lucy. We are the dragon tribe worshippers of the seven dragon gods. We possess the young that grow isolated until their coming of age. When a dragon slayer is born, we present it to the statue here and a stone glows, signifying their type of power and which dragon god protects them. They do not possess the ability to fall in love for it was deemed a sign a sign of weakness. However, the dragons could not be so heartless as to take away that feeling from them so they made their chosen to be like them. Therefore, they take the characteristics of a real dragon. A dragon only falls in love once and it's considered a love at first sight. Even when their mate dies a dragon can never fall in love with anyone else and will continue their existence thinking of their lost love in hopes that their souls may unite in the afterlife", Makarov began to explain.
"W-What does that have to do with me?" Lucy asked. "Well, you see given the circumstances a dragon slayer falls in love immediately with the person who is worthy of them to mate with and vice versa. My son Natsu is the fire dragon slayer, and he's fallen in love with you the moment he set eyes on you. The mark on your hands symbolizes the tie of your bonding. In other words, it is a symbol of marriage between you two and you both received the elixir of marriage with no hesitation", Makarov smiled. "Wait what?! You mean the liquid we drank was a sign of agreement to marriage and this mark binds me to Natsu as his wife?!" Lucy said paling considerably.
Makarov nodded with a gentle smile. 'This must be a joke! Married to this beautiful stranger and apparently he's fallen eternally in love with me?' Lucy thought her head spinning. Everyone was congratulating them and Lucy saw that Natsu was being quite bashful while still looking at her with such a loving expression. "Lucy?" levy asked seeing her tremble slightly. Lucy looked at all of them before shaking her head and running as fast as she could. "LUCY!" Natsu yelled as he ran behind her. "This can't be happening?!" Lucy muttered repeatedly to herself
