While I was reading a story about Lucy finding the dragons, I kind of mixed it with my other story and came up with another idea.
I just couldn't help myself I know I have my two other stories but I really wanted to put my idea into words, I'm like that I have to do something when I first want to or else I may never do it.
Also going to add that the date below is around the time when Lucy was born so yea, just keep that in mind. Notes about some of the changes I have made to the basic story are at the bottom of this.
X767
The strong wind whipped her but she continued to run, she knew that one day her visions would kill her but she never knew this was how. Her child stayed asleep in her arms, she's doing this to protect her.
Only minutes ago did she witness her own daughters death, she saw a teenager that looked a lot like her fighting in a burning building. There was only one other person with her, a large man in a burnt cloak. His arms were covered in tattoos and scars and he wore a giant grin on his face.
"You're completely useless without these aren't you?" The man held up a belt, her belt, the one she planned to give to her daughter. Attached to it was a whip and a set of keys that was much larger than the collection that she held now. He dangled the belt in front of her and threw it out of the window.
Her child screamed and tried to hit him. He dodged it easily, swinging himself around her, he pushed her against the burning wall. "You celestial mages are a pathetic excuse of a wizard." Picking her up from the wall, he moved her a foot to the side. The last thing the vision showed was Lucy's pained face as she was pushed out of a window. It then went black, signalling the end of the vision.
After that, she grabbed her sleeping daughter and ran off into the forest. There was only one way she could protect her. Many years ago, Layla Heartfilia helped the dragons and celestial spirits in a war against gods. After the dragons won, they had offered her the 'Dragons Eye,' a magical power that allows a human to have the power of a dragon. She had turned the offer down, but now she has decided that her daughter can have the power.
After an hour of continuous running, Layla arrived at the dragons canyon. Peering over the edge, she could see the many dragons she worked with years ago. The dragon she had grown closest to turned towards her.
"Layla, you have returned." The others faced towards her. In this group, there was only 6. It was small compared to the 20 she fought with but it was nice to see almost a third of them.
"Good to see you too Igneel, but I'm not here to catch up. I want to consider the offer again."
"So you finally want the Dragons eye?" He looked at her with his neck arched back as if he was surprised.
"I don't want it myself, I want you to give it to my daughter."
Another dragon stood beside Igneel, Lesuri, the water dragon, "Are you not passing on your keys to her."
"I will but I'm afraid that without her keys, she herself is weak. I do not want her magic to be limited to holder types."
Lesuri nodded, "You do know the cost of this deal. In order for you to give away the power to your child, you will have to give her all of your magical power."
She looked down at her child, it's all for her. "I know of the cost, and in doing that it will most likely kill me. I'm ready to give up my life for her, I don't want her to die like my vision showed me. Please, just give her the powers. Look after her until she is old enough to go on her own, teach her how to use the dragons eye."
Igneel walked forward and Layla placed Lucy on his back, "I will miss you Layla, I promise we will look after her. Seeing that there are only 6 dragons here, she will only gain 6 powers. Fire, air, iron, water, earth and light. I'm sorry Layla but we will have to take your energy now in order for it to work."
She looked at her daughter, surrounded by dragons. Grandeeney lifted her giant arm and held it over Lucy. Layla could feel her Magical power leaving her. It moved in visible waves. What a beautiful sight. She thought to herself. Falling backwards her last sight was the stars in the dark night sky.
"Live Lucy, live for me."
I looked at the city ahead of me, the hill I was standing on gave me a great view of Magnolia. 7 years ago, Lesuri disappeared. Before she left I was told that I was born here and I've been wanting to come here ever since. I never got the chance to travel before she left I was always training my magic, Lesuri called it dragon eye magic, she says that one power alone is not as strong as dragon slaying but with 2 or more of my powers combined I am about the same level as them.
For 7 years I have been traveling around Fiore, trying to find somewhere to stay but I always move on, feeling like I have to go and try another place. Maybe Magnolia is where I'm ment to be, guess I have to go see. Moving down the hill quickly, I'm startled by the ringing of church bells, looking at the town I notice the buildings moving.
What the hell is going on.
I watch a man walk through the center of the town where a path has been created for him, from the looks of it he's moving towards a building at the end of the town. Deciding to get a better look at whats going on, I head towards the building.
The closer I get the louder the yelling is, it seems like the building is either a really popular bar or some fighting arena. When I can finally see the insides, it looks like both. Two boys are fighting inside, a pink haired boy and a dark blue haired boy, people surround them drinking as if nothing is going on. Walking in, I look around to find a white haired girl smiling at me.
"Hello, I'm Mira-jane, how can Fairy Tail help you?" I walk over to her and stand in front of the bar she seems to work at.
"So this is the famous Fairy Tail guild I hear so much about."
Sitting down she began to question me while getting a milkshake, "Whats your name, are you a mage yourself?"
"I'm Lucy and yea I'm a celestial mage, I'm also part dragon slayer."
She placed the strawberry milkshake in front of me and leaned on the counter, "How are you part dragon slayer?"
"Well I guess you I can count myself as a water dragon slayer because I was raised by a water dragon and I mainly learnt that power but I also have parts of other dragon slaying powers that I learnt aswell."
Mira looked at me in awe, "Are you thinking of joining the guild? It would be quite amazing if we had four dragon slayers, well I guess five because of Laxus but he doesn't really count."
I gasped in shock, "There are four other dragon slayers here?"
"Well only three were raised by dragons, Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy. There are also two other dragon slayers in another guild not that far from here that were raised by dragons Sting and Rouge."
"Damn, I thought we were pretty rare." I looked down, kind of sad at the thought.
"You are, I've done my research and there are only about 10 or less dragon slayers alive." I looked back up, kind of happy about that. I like being unique and I shouldn't ever want anything less when it comes to the magic I have now. "So, you never answered, want to join the guild?"
I turned around and took in the guild, it was noisy but seemed to be a lot of fun. Everybody seems to be happy and other than the few fighting it looks like they get along pretty well. This guild doesn't seem to be like the few strict and up tight guilds that I've found while traveling. Maybe I was right earlier, this is where I'm ment to be.
Facing Mira again I smiled and nodded, "Yea, this place seems like fun."
Mira giggled happily and seemed to be jumping around when she got the stamp out from one of the many cupboards. From the looks of it she was very excited to accept me into the guild.
"Where would you like the stamp and what colour would you like?" She held out a little box that seemed to have colour changing ink in it. Messing around the knob on the side I decided on black. Pointing to the side of my waist she pressed the stamp onto my already exposed skin. It was cold at first and then it began to tickle. Once she pulled it away the Fairy Tail insignia was left behind.
"How about I introduce you to the other dragon slayers first, I bet they will be happy to meet you." Looking around me she searched the hall, pausing when she found somebody. "Natsu, Wendy, can one of you get Gajeel and come over here?"
The pink haired boy from before got up and walked towards us, a little blue haired girl went off towards a dark corner of the guild. The pink boy, who I suspect is Natsu because there is no way he's called Wendy, raised his eyebrows when he noticed me.
"Who's this."
Mira answered before I could even say anything, "This is Lucy, she is the newest member of Fairy Tail and is also a dragon slayer."
He looked at me, completely shocked, "Really? Did your dragon also go missing 7 years ago on July 7th?" Nastu was basically shouting.
The blue haired girl, Wendy stood beside him and a long black haired man, Gajeel stood on the other side of me, "What are you being so loud about Salamander?"
"This girl, Lucy, is a dragon slayer. Now answer my question." He looked at me his expression moving from shock to friendly.
"Yes, my dragon Lesuri disappeared 7 years ago with out a trace. How about we sit down at a table, I have a few questions for you guys too."
Grabbing my milkshake I walked to the closest empty table the three followed and sat down with me. "So who are your dragons?"
Natsu spoke first, "Igneel, the fire dragon, have you seen him recently?"
I laughed at his passion of finding his father like dragon, it's nice to see him so focused on wanting to see him, I gave up after a couple of years, "No I haven't seen any dragons since mine went missing, but I did meet Igneel when I was younger, nice dragon, you're lucky to be raised by him."
"Ohh, did you ever meet Grandeeney the sky dragon?"
I smiled at the girl, she was just like her dragon, very sweet and she even has the same gental voice. "Yes, I also met her when I was little."
The large voice startled me, "The iron dragon Metalicana, you seen him before?"
Nodding I looked at the large man, "Yes I have."
He seemed startled, "How have you seen so many dragons, I've only seen one and that was Metalicana."
The other two looked at me, they were focused on learning all about my relation to dragons. "Well I was mainly raised by Lesuri, I've known her all my life and according to her, my real mum handed me over to her and 5 other dragons when I was only a few months old. This included your dragons as well as two others, Phantonic the light dragon and Terest the earth dragon. My mum apparently died so I could have dragons eye magic, I spent four years learning with all the dragons until the five left to take on human dragon slayers."
"I've never heard of no dragons eye magic and Metalicana never said anything about teaching another human before me." Gajeel slammed his fist into the table leaving a large crack where it hit. He didn't seem so pleased that his father figure taught me some magic.
"I didn't learn full iron dragon slaying from him, only a little, and dragons eye is basically a rare gift from dragons to humans, they gave it to my mum but she decided I should have it. It is a kind of eye magic that allows the user to gain the power of the dragons who granted them the eye. It allowed me to learn the six different types and the four years I spent training with them made my skill even more advanced."
Wendy seemed amazed, "Can I see your sky magic? I want to see what Grandeeney taught you."
Natsu stood up and slammed his fists together, fire formed around them, "Yea, lets see what you can do. I bet your flames aren't as hot as mine."
Mira ran towards us, "If you're going to use your magic like that can you take it outside. Master wants to keep the damage in the guild to a minimum."
Natsu walked out of the guild through the back door and the rest of us followed, there was a large grass area with a tree in the middle. What looked like fighting equipment was leaning against the back of the guild and there were some groups of people sitting on the grass. We walked to a area that seemed far away from the sitting groups and the three looked at me.
"Ok I'll show light and earth first to get those out of the way." Facing the group I focused on light. Knowing well about how my magic worked, I knew my eyes were now a very light yellow and not their normal brown.
I gathered the light in the area around me to form a ball of white light, out side of the ball the light was darker like as if the sun was setting but it was midday and there was no cloud in the sky either. My magic was taking the light out of the area and that was only leaving darkness. My hair lifted up but began to lower as I made the ball smaller and smaller until it became a little orb in my hands.
"Light magic, is it any good for fighting?" I looked up to see Gajeel leaning against the tree.
I raised my eyebrows at him, "Looks like you're a bit of a fighter aren't you?" I flung the orb at his feel and it sunk into the ground forming cracks of white light. He looked up at me and grinned, he probably thought my atttack failed. I just grinned back as the cracks began to spin and send a laser of light at him.
Natsu laughed at him and he got a growl in response, "You shouldn't underestimate people like that metal face."
Deciding that I didn't want them fighting each other I made my eyes turn to a dark brown colour. Natsu was about to slam his fist into Gajeels face but stopped when the ground beneath him lifted. He looked over at me with wide eyes, but then he looked away as he fell back to the ground, the earth that had lifted him up was back to its normal shape and now it was Gajeel's turn to laugh.
Wendy ignored the two and turned to me, "Can you use sky magic now?" She looked at me with a glint of hope in her eyes.
"Sure, but since those two aren't looking how about I use it on both of them." My eyes turned to a normal shade of yellow and wind began to swirl around me. Raising my arms towards the two boys I clapped and the wind pushed their heads together. Their foreheads slammed against the others and they both fell backwards, still conscious.
Wendy laughed with me as they stared daggers at us.
"What magic next?" I smirked at the two but Natsu instantly got up.
"I still want to see who's got the hottest flame." His body lit up and he grinned at me.
My eyes turned red and I grinned back, "I would suspect you because you spend more time using fire magic but I guess we were both taught by the same dragon."
Flames began to engulf me and in sync we both shouted, "Fire dragons roar!" The fire met in between us and collided. The hottest flame will move past the other. Knowing fully that Natsu will win this I kept on, he may be a full fire dragon slayer but he still has to breathe, using my sky dragon magic, my fire lasted longer, knocking him backwards.
"I'm not going to say I won that because your flame is way hotter, I just can hold my breath for longer than you." He smirked at his half win and I turned towards Gajeel, my eyes turning grey. "So what do you want me to do?"
"I don't know make some iron or something." I nodded and turned my fist into iron, this power Metalicana taught me personally. I slammed it into the ground and bent it so it was heading towards Gajeel, it came out beneath him but he dodged it.
"Not falling for that one again." I pulled the iron back and changed my eyes to blue.
"Now, last but not least, water dragon slaying. This is the type I spent most of the ten years with my dragon learning." Moving my hand side diagonally I cut the tree with a slice of water, Gajeel jumped out of the way of the falling tree but before it hit the ground I encased it with water and slammed it into the ground even harder. The tree melted with the water. Changing my eyes back to brown I quickly brought the tree back to its normal form.
"So there you have it. That is the power of dragons eye." Natsu came up behind me and chucked his arm around me.
"That's a seriously amazing power Lucy, guess you really do belong here." We walked back towards the guild and I was greeted by a short man.
"Ah Lucy, just the person I wanted to see, I watched you guys from my office, I'm very impressed. Now I would like to discuss some things with you, follow me." Natsu let go of me and I followed the man up to the second floor.
"I'm guessing you're the master here?"
"Yes, I'm Master Makorav but some of the members refer to me as Gramps. I'm suspecting you know the way jobs work here?" He sat down in his seat at the other side of the table. I sat across from him.
"I have a small idea about it, I was temporarily part of another guild Graceful Sorceress and we had to go up to the master to see if there were any job requests."
"Well this is a bit different, we always have jobs available and you only need to go to the request board, pick one out and then get Mira to approve it. Now on jobs I want you to remember you are a Mage from Fairy Tail, show pride in the guild."
I smiled at the master, and nodded, "I promise."
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Lucy." He got up and walked out to the second floor railing. I followed closely behind. "Listen up! This is Lucy, the newest member to the guild. Treat her well!" The guild cheered back and then everybody went back to their normal noisy selves.
Natsu called me over to him and I followed him. He introduced me to his exceed Happy and his team mates, Erza and Gray. Erza was really happy around me, saying she's happy because there's now another 'strong woman' to keep the guild in check. I sat with the group and talked for hours, just before I went to find an apartment Erza called me back.
"Want to join our team, we could do with another member."
I was shocked at the question, I haven't even been a member for a day and I was wanted in a team. I was greatful for the offer and I have heard many things about 'The Great Titania.' Imagine that, being in a team with the queen of the fairies. I smiled as a gladly accepted the offer.
"Yay! How about I show you the Fairy Hills, you could quite possibly get a room there." Dragging me out of the guild I had no choice but to follow her.
As I was being dragged, I looked back at the guild, it's quite an amazing guild, it even has its own pool. I wonder if Lesuri would be happy about my choice of guild. Seeing that Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy all found their way there somehow I guess she would be.
After organising with the owner of the building, Ruchio, I took a look in my new room. The walls were blue with wooden paneling along the bottom. The only items in the room was a clean bed and a white circular table. I lifted my traveling pack onto my bed and emptied the contents. All I had was an old sleeping bad, a couple odd bits of clothing, toiletries and a bag of Jewels that I've gained while doing random jobs around Fiore.
Grabbing the toiletries I headed towards the dormitory's open bath. Erza had told me about it and I really wanted to check it out. Finding my way through the long hallways I finally found the door that lead to the bath. While opening it all I could think was 'This better be good' once I could see I was amazed, the bath was beautifully made and had large rocks lining the wall. I noticed Wendy was there along with another blue haired girl who I have yet to learn the name of.
"Hi Lucy, my name's Levy." The blue haired girl looked at me and smiled, I joined her in the water and chatted for a while. We have so much in common and she is really nice.
A bang on the door interrupted our conversation, I looked up to see Erza in full armor entering the room.
"Lucy, Master has an urgent mission for me, want to come along?" I got out and dried myself.
"Sure, what is it?" Changing into my clothes I followed her back to my room.
She packed my bag for me and threw it at me, "A dark guild is keeping some people hostage a couple of towns over."
I nodded and followed her to the train station, the town was about 40 minutes away from Magnolia so I laid my head against the window and rested.
Ok that's pretty long and as I said at the start here are the notes I was going to add.
I know I'm practically showing her off when I made her use the 6 powers.
I'm doing that so you can see what she can do, It's also going to help for later in the story.
I also know her Fairy Tail insignia is on her hand not her waist.
If you haven't read my other story 'The Hidden Powers' then you wouldn't have noticed that I love tattoos being on the side of the waist. Also, because she didn't grow up in a mansion like in the real story, that could change her personal likings :P
The normal arcs are not part of this.
They may have happened before Lucy turned up or something like that but all the added characters are there already and Lucy has gathered all of her current keys while traveling.
Tell me what you think of the story :)
