The Heartfillia mansion. One of the largest buildings in all of Fiore, situated in the largest grounds in all of Fiore…it even includes mountains and a whole village for crying out loud. However, despite all this space, young Lucy Heartfillia could be found in the same room she had inhabited for the last 2 weeks, her mother's office. It was 2 weeks to the day since her mother died and since that day she had barely left the room more than a couple of minutes, which angered her father greatly. In fact, despite being only 6 years old, she had been on the receiving end of a quite a number of physical and verbal abuses, stretching back years. Which is where we find her now, stood in her Mother's office having a huge screaming argument with her now beyond furious Father. "NO!" she screamed at the top of her young lungs, "I will NOT be married off to some…disgusting pervert! Especially not when he's PAYING you to get me just so you can have a bit more money to count!"

Jude Heartfillia's face morphed into one of pure rage, an emotion he was particularly familiar with, "you insolent little…." He backhand slapped her sending her sprawling onto the floor "…..insect! You DARE talk back to ME!?" Out of rage he kicked her whole she was still on the floor, "it's high time you learnt a truth your Mother never told you. You are just a girl, you are nothing. You exist to no other reason than to look pretty, be sold to a husband, be used for and at HIS pleasure be it as a slave, a whore or target practice and, most importantly, to birth SONS!" He slowly walked away shaking his head and sighing in disgust.

Lucy knew she should be downright terrified but the truth was each word he said, each blow she took, hell each breath she watched her father take added more and more fire to her already burning fury. As she slowly breathed to get the pain under control, she couldn't help but long for revenge, to knock that bastard down to the ground and make him stay there and ooooh was it a sweet thought. "A sweet thought indeed" said a voice inside Lucy's head, at first she thought she was finally going mad until she looked around that is and noticed everything seemed to have slowed to a stop. Almost like time itself was taking a break.

"W-W-Who a-are y-you?" she stuttered silently, speaking only within her own mind, "W-where and what are y-you?"

Lucy could almost feel the unknown voice smirking. "My name you shall know when the time is right" the voice answered, "in truth I am a Demon and a God both. Years ago I began to teach your mother how to summon Demons as she did Celestial Spirits…..alas her connection to the Celestial Spirit world was simply too great. But you child…the power within you calls to me! Your anger! Your thirst for vengeance, for blood…for battle! It sings to me like a chorus! Call upon me child! Let me save you from this trash, let me teach you my power, let me take you from this place and raise you to be an almighty summoner to rival the legends of history!"

Lucy couldn't believe what was happening, this…..demon was offering her an escape, power…..hell a far better life than she had ever had. She'd heard stories of Demons taking souls in return for promises of power and glory and if that's what it takes to finally free herself of this life…so be it, just so long as she got her vengeance. "Teach me" she whispered, sensing the incredible magic coming from the voice and allowing her blazing fury to fuel it. "But….how? What should I do?"

"You already know what to do child" the voice answered, "follow your instincts! Unleash my power against this scum and free yourself!"

Time began to turn once more and Lucy's instincts, which until now she had never listened to, began to scream at her. Finally listening to it she scrambled around her Mother's desk, which earned her Father's attention, and ripped open the bottom draw on the left hand side. Jude's face morphed to rage once more, "you worthless little bitch!" he shouted "this is how you repay my kindness? When you Mother died everything that was hers became MINE! And you dare to think stealing from me is wise!?"

From the draw Lucy pulled out a single cylindrical orange crystal, roughly 4 inches point to point, and held it in one hand. The moment she grasped it she could feel it trying to draw on her magic reserves, so she remembered back to her Mother's lessons and began to channel magic into it. Her Mother always told her she had the makings of a natural summoner as her natural magic reserves were almost stupidly large, especially for a girl her age. It was so large in fact she was able to accidentally summon a golden Zodiac spirit without a contract, which should be impossible. As her still furious Father began to approach she turned the crystal horizontal and grasped it with both hands. "Yes!" called the voice in her head, "speak the words of your soul, break the crystal seal and CALL OUT MY NAME!"

An almost feral grin spread across Lucy's young face as words formed in her mind, almost as if they had always slept within her soul. She began to apply pressure and as a satisfying crack appeared she began to speak.

Awaken from your slumber, O Demonic Lord of Blades! Harken to my plea and grant me Vengeance!

She applied a touch more pressure and the crystal shattered so she screamed the name of her saviour "RAVANA!"

From the shattered crystal erupted millions of small, glowing orange, fly like insects that swarmed around the room in an anti-clockwise circle. After a few seconds they all began to condense into a glowing light just in front of Lucy. The light began to shape into what Lucy could make out as a 4 armed humanoid insect, however the light flashed brightly once more and out of it stepped a normal looking man. He was tall and physically fit and was wearing a black, armour plated jumper, black cargo pants, black combat boots and a black trench coat that reached down to his kneed. His obsidian black hair was perhaps an inch longer than a standard 'short back and sides' but what really caught Lucy's attention was his eyes. They were blood red and looked like they could pierce into her very soul and see the truth of her very being. "Finally" Ravana spoke aloud for the first time, his voice sounded like a pair of the voices speaking at once; once fairly deep and once a little more high pitch. "That crystal container may have been my idea but it was rather cramped," he turned to the still shocked, yet somehow still furious Jude, "and then there's you. You treat this young woman like some kind of worthless possession, a measly trinket to be bartered and sold and for what? A few measly coins?...pathetic creature."

The shock on Jude's face quickly vanished in favour of pure, undiluted rage. "You…..you FREAK! You dare enter MY home, summoned or not, and pass judgment on ME!? Someone who is clearly your better!?" He picked up a lacrima lamp from the table next to him and brandished it as a crude club, "now….you'll pay for…."

Jude never had the chance to finish his sentence as, seemingly without moving, Ravana appeared on the other side of him, facing away with a blade held out before him. Now Lucy was no blade expert by any means but to her it looked like a cross between a Katana and a Scimitar or perhaps a Cutlass, it also appeared to be glowing white hot, a result of Ravana's magic she guessed. A thud drew her attention to her Father's right arm that had been severed just above the elbow and had just hit the floor, Jude of coarse screamed in pain but Lucy couldn't help but stare. Not in disgust or fear but in joy (and perhaps a little excitement) as her Father, the man who had abused her mentally and physically behind her Mother's back for years, was finally suffering for his sins. "You think your station far higher than it is whelp" Ravana said coldly, "would that I could just kill you and be done with it, but your life belongs not to me…..but to the child of prophecy, Lucy." He looked to Lucy "Think carefully now young one, this is not a choice to be made rashly."

Lucy considered the situation carefully, she could vaguely hear her Father begging for his life and, despite not actually paying any attention to it, it was making her feel physically sick. "For all the pain you've caused me" she began silencing all his remaining pleas "I should make you suffer. But you're still my Father and deep down, very VERY deep down, I suppose I still love you…..So I will ease your suffering. Ravana, end him."

The Demon Lord smirked darkly and with a nigh effortless swing removed Jude's head from his shoulders. "A most honourable choice child" he praised, "You have many questions I have no doubt but now is not the time. Gather your belongings, we leave this place soon." Lucy nodded and ran to do just that, she also told the servants what happened and not even one of them was even a little sad, in fact they all wished her well and luck with Ravana and someone, or something, called Cerberus. An hour or so later and Lucy had packed all she could carry and the rest Ravana had stored magically. "Impressive" the ancient Demon thought to himself silently "most impressive, she has maintained my summoning for an hour and she shows no signs of difficulty whatsoever. I have no doubt she will become the greatest summoner to have ever existed…..she will have to be to defeat…..him." Saying goodbye to her old life AND her old name Lucy had Ravana use well placed flaming sword strikes to set the building alight, burning Lucy's painful past to the ground. Looking towards the future the two turned and walked away, never once looking back at the end of the Heartfillias.
