Okay, this is my first story, so I decided to write a prologue before I actually get into the story. Yes, I know that this type of storyline is overused, but it's so much fun to write. I've been letting some of my friends read my stories, and they finally convinced me to post something on here. I will always listen to advice, and will try to be correct in any facts I use within the paragraph below, or really any writing I do in the future. I don't care if you favorite or follow, I just want new people to tell me what they think of something I wrote on a whim. Enjoy!
Lucy ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She needed to leave. She could always send Virgo back to get her things, she is a maid after all. Lucy shook the thought out, that's not what she should be focusing on right now. She smiled as she ran into the forest, taking in the familiar surroundings. She wiped her tears away as she slowed down, finally feeling safe. Lucy leaned against a nearby tree, needing to regain her breath after sprinting across Magnolia. She pulled her knees to her chest and sobbed, finally feeling the affects of the day's events. 'Why did he have to do this to me? Why'd he betray me.' Natsu had done the unthinkable to the Celestial mage. He had broken a promise. He disbanded Team Natsu, breaking his promise to Lucy, just so he could form a team with Lisanna.
"A Celestial mage never breaks a promise." She said out loud to herself.
Natsu had forced her into breaking her vow, the most important thing to her. She sobbed harder as she thought about it, 'How could you trust someone if they break a promise? Someone's word is the one sacred thing to me. He knew that, he knew how much this would hurt me.' Lucy thought to herself, looking down at her keys. They seemed to shine brighter, wanting to comfort their master in her time of sorrow. Her fingers grazed over them, pulling at her magic every time she touch one.
"Excuse me, Miss?" Lucy looked up to see a pink-haired girl leaning over her with a worried expression on her face. "I don't mean to intrude, but I thought you might need a listening ear."
Lucy nodded at the girl, gesturing for her to sit down. She let the words flow out of her. Natsu abandoning her, Lisanna throwing her out, the guild taking Lisanna's side in the whole ordeal. She then started to tell the mystery girl about how she ended up in Fairy Tail. The girl nodded along as she listened, visibly showing her emotions through the whole thing.
"So, what are you going to do now?" She asked Lucy, conjuring up a plan at the same time.
"I don't know." Lucy answered, just realizing that she didn't have a plan. "You can come to my city. We have nice people, scenery, and even a guild. We're not that popular yet, but soon we hopefully will."
"That sounds like a plan. I'm Lucy, by the way." The girl stood and helped Lucy up, "Day, now, why don't we go back to your home and get your things. Then we'll be off to Leva." Lucy nodded and wiped her tears away yet again. Lucy let Day lead her through the forest, bringing back memories from when she was last dragged to Magnolia.
Lucy looked out the window of her shared train compartment, thinking back to the events leading her here. Day had helped her and her spirits pack everything up and move it into the spirit world. The two girls talked about Lucy joining Mage Light, Day's guild. Apparently, Day is a Nature mage. She can bend the nature around her to her very will, also being able to be absorbed into the ground, trees, rocks, etc. Lucy thought it was amazing, she was basically a earth-centered Juvia. Lucy thought back to the water mage, she hadn't been there when the day's events unraveled. She and Lucy were close friends, she had no doubt that the water woman would stand up for her. The sun outside was setting, meaning that they'd soon arrive at their destination. Lucy was excited. Day told her about the flora of the city, more specifically the rose bushes. Those bushes were the trademark of the city, they'd been there ever since the town was founded. The train slowed to a stop, and the passangers got off, most to be in the City of Roses. The girls hopped off the train and into the city, slowing their pace so Lucy could take in the night lights that illuminated the sky. She was filled with wonder as they walked around. The people surrounding her seemed to not have a care in the world, enjoying the warm, summer air accompanied by a gentle breeze. Little glowing creatures took up the space above, flittering about who knows what. The trees had lights weaved through their leaves, creating a scene for any scenario. There were small ponds littered about, glowing fish swimming in the depths of them. Leva seemed like a city out of a fairytale, it was perfect.
"This place is amazing." "I know, I still get amazed every time the sun sets. The pixies sometimes put on little shows for some of the newcomers, but I guess they're tired right now." Lucy followed Day to a large, tan house. Day unlocked the door and went in, Lucy following close behind her.
"Home, sweet, home."
