Chapter 1 The First Encounter

DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. ALL RIGHTS GO TO HIRO MASHIMA.

3rd person P.O.V.

It all started about a year after the initial incident back on Tenrou Island and the seven year time lapse. Everyone in the guild was happy celebrating for no particular reason but everybody was enjoying themselves to the fullest. Everyone except for Lucy that is, she was still depressed about losing all her matches and getting kidnapped during the Grand Magic Games. She felt guilty for the eclipse project and the many horrible things that happened during that incidence, even though it wasn't her fault. She felt weak and worthless and she figured that maybe she should leave and train for awhile. The thought had been circling her mind for over a month now but today was the day she was going to go through with it.

Lucy's P.O.V.

I got up from my seat in the far corner of the guild hall and made my way to the Master's office, after one final deliberation with myself. When I got to the door I knocked twice before walking into the office and closed the door behind me. Master Macarov was sitting at his desk with several piles of paperwork in front of him. He had a beer mug on the corner of his desk as he was work vigilantly to get his work done. He looked at me with a confused expression on his face when I entered his office.

"What can I help you with my child" he said as his face changed to a smile.

"I just wanted to let you know that I wanted to take some time off from the guild to go on a training session on my own. I feel that I need to, I don't know why myself, but I feel like I need to become stronger to prove to myself that I am strong." I said before he could ask me why I wanted to leave. Master looked at me in shock but slowly nodded when I explained to him my reasoning for leaving.

"Okay Lucy but so that we know you are safe I want you to write letters every chance you get so that no one feels obligated to come save you because they thought you had died." master said after I had finished speaking. "You may keep your guild mark since you are not technically quitting the guild. Now I hope you find everything you are looking to achieve" he added before giving me the Fairy Tail salute.

"I will Master and please keep this a secret from Team Natsu. I feel like they will try and stop me from leaving." I said with a smile. He nodded then I returned the salute and left his office.

3rd Person P.O.V.

Lucy left Macarov's office and went back down stairs and told the guild she was going home since she felt tired. Natsu had insisted on escorting her home but she had refused and continued on her way.

3rd person P.O.V.

Lucy was just finishing with her packing and had Virgo take her things into the spirit world to store them. She had informed her land lady that she would be gone for a long time but would eventually return after her training. From there she went to the train station and got on a train to a small village that not many people visited do to the fact it was a simple town in the middle of nowhere and wasn't famous for anything at all. After the long train ride Lucy exited the station and made her way towards the forest that no one, not even the villagers, visited that often. No one really knew why, it wasn't haunted or anything, people just never went in there.

Time Skip (one week later)

3rd person P.O.V.

It had been a week since Lucy had started her training mission. She worked day and night to become stronger with the help of Capricorn and Leo helping her out the entire time.

One day while she was walking through the forest she saw something glittering in the distance and decided to check it out. The closer she got the larger the object grew, until finally she broke into a clearing. What she saw made her jaw drop and she froze in place. Standing before her was none other than a gigantic golden dragon towering above her staring her down with no readable expression on its face.
