Author's note: Hey guys I'm back with a new chapter, sorry for the wait and sorry its so short I literally wrote this in two hours late last night and decided to just get the explanation in this chapter out of the way even if it doesn't make much sense. When I'm tired I tend to let my hand take the wheel and I don't really think through what I'm typing if that makes any sense but I'm also at my most creative point as well which is weird but whatever. I'll probably edit it later to try and make it easier to understand what I was going for. I hope you enjoy anyway and the Nalu angst is coming up soon so be ready to have your heart ripped out and stomped on, your welcome. :)

Comments:

Gruvia and Nalu 4 life - Yep basically, so I decided to share my suffering with all of you. :)

tolu ogunyemi - Thank you so much!

Mary Chou - Yes, SUFFER AND FELL MY EXTREME WRA- *cough* sorry about that don't know what came over me, is this what happens when a creator airs a new episode or release a new chapter that makes the fans freak out? Evil little things aren't they?

Explosions, screams and the roar of a dragon was what I woke up to. I could hear so many things around me that it was hard to register what was happening. My whole body ached and with so much noise it was difficult to think.

"Ugh. Where, am I?" I manage to get out hoping to find myself with someone, lucky Happy was still with me.

"Lucy, I'm so glad you're okay!" Sobbed Happy as he flew into my chest. "I was worried you weren't going to make it."

"But, what happened after I passed out?" I asked as I looked around, we were in one of the broken down buildings and I found that my wound was wrapped as well.

"I didn't know what to do so I picked you up a flew as fast as I could and hid in this house." Happy explained, still clinging to me tightly. "When I was sure he wasn't after us I went looking for medical supplies and did my best to patch up your wound."

I squeezed the blue fluff that sat in my arms, feeling so thankful that he was here with me. He squeezed back, claws digging in but I didn't care because I wouldn't even be here without him.

For a while we just sat there in silence, holding each other, neither of us had the mental or physical capacity to stand up and do something. At the same time I was trying to think of a way to save Natsu, there just had to be something that could be done. Then Happy finally spoke.

"Lucy, w-what are we going t-to do?" His voice trembled, I patted his head in response.

Then it hit me, something my mother had told me about as a child.

The One Magic.

The one thing that could possibly stop and save Natsu. My mother had told me that one day I may need to call on this power, but only at a time when everything seems lost. Truth be told I had known nothing about it besides the fact it existed up in till I joined the guild, even then I had attempted to research it but found little on the subject.

It had been thought by many to be the original source of all magic, but by others, nothing more than a concept. Some even said it to be darkness itself, yet people like my mother believed it to be love.

Love. Perhaps all these people, all these wizards and magic users who were seeking the One Magic were missing the key component, LOVE!

"THAT'S IT!" I screamed, scaring Happy half to death. "THAT'S IT HAPPY I FIGURED IT OUT!"

I jumped up ignoring the pain in my side, smiling like an idiot and threw Happy into the air.

After that all the pieces just seemed to fit. How the First died from Zerefs kiss, how she broke the curse on the both on them.

It all makes sense now, it's not just a concept and its nether darkness nor love. ITS BOTH! It's all depended on your own perspective, Zeref used it out of the darkness that was consuming his heart and Mavis used her love for him in her own. Yet both balanced out with the darkness and love tucked away in the other which is how it was able to destroy curses. For them the process is easily explained through the yin and yang theory.

"Come on Happy, I know what to do." I said confidently beginning to stand up.

"Lucy, are you sure you know what you're doing." Asked Happy nervously, flying from my arms to look me in the eye. I turned away and walked towards the door.

"No, but I'm going to try, I have to. Not only for Natsu, but for all our friends and for our home!" I swung back round to face Happy. "And I swear on my life that I won't give up on them, come on Happy!"
