Chapter 01- Meeting Gray
"What did you do, Zerina?" Layla asked nervously to the wicked evil witch."I just blessed her...no...Cursed her!" Again, she laughed evily. "Why are you doing this to us?" Jude asked, you can see his worriedness for his daughter. "Just for fun...My hobby is messing up people's lives! I love looking at those grievious faces!" she exclaimed proudly.
"There is a way to dispell the curse...discontinue the marrage of your daughter to that prince...or take her out of the kingdom for the curse's effect, will be a little not effective." she stated in a serious tone. The mist surrounds them once again. Fear is the entire Queen felt. "Choose wisely" she had her serious declaration.
The next day, after the incident. Tension is all they felt and worriedness. In the room where the Queen and King's throne was located. Four of them where inside of it; The Queen, The King, Spetto, the head of the maids and Ul, an ice mage. The Queen and King must made the right choice or else, something might happen to their precious daughter. Spetto and the King were curious, what would a famous mage can do for them?
"Please let me decide for this, Anata (Dear)" the Queen had a serious request and stood in front of them beside Ul. The King was worried not only about his daughter; He is worried about what is his wife's decision. "I have decided that..." she stopped for a moment and look at her husband's eyes."That...the marrage of Natsu and my Daughter will not be cancelled and Ms. Ul will take care of her." The King and Spetto's eyes widened with shock. Looks like they didn't expect her decision.
"It's a hard decision, but I need to do this" She stated with a serious tone but you can see sadness in her hazel brown orbs. "Why my queen?" King Jude asked in disappointment and stood. "Before your head will explode, I just want to tell you that if we are Natsu's parent and we didn't grant his wish. what will you feel?" She told with her eyes' furious, Jude calmed down and sit back on his throne. Maybe, he understands his wife now. It's hard for them to let her go, living a life without even seeing their daughter grow must be so grievous.
Ul took the little girl and went back to the kingdom she lived. The Queen ordered Spetto to come with Ul so she can be sure that her daughter is safe and sound and gave her the Celestial Keys that the queen owns.
Ul, is a famous ice mage because of the way she uses her magic. She is a mother too; she knows the feelings of the Queen and King. Who would think that an ice mage will live in a fire kingdom named Rekka Yushin? They arrived in a city named Blaze, there is where she lived.
Thinking that this kingdom is made of smoky mountains, and volcanoes? No, this kingdom is just like a typical kingdom with busy cities and guilds. Places with volcanoes that's like the nest, Only elemental dragons know where is the Dragons' Nest, this the place where Dragons meet up.
"I felt so pity to the royalties" The ice mage stated while holding Lucy and walking on a loamy path which leads them to her home beside a lake. "Even me..." Spetto affirmed while lifting their baggage. They passed by the woods with wild creatures. The sound of splashing water was heard, that means they are near. Finally, they arrived at a beautiful place. The sun rays made the lake water sparkle; you can feel the cold breeze and hear the sound from the wind which made the branches dance.
"I'm back with newcomers!" She greeted to her neighbors cheerfully. Her neighbors were so friendly and greeted back with a smile. "Let me bring this to the vacant cottage near to Ul's house" A guy offered to Spetto who looks tired in lifting the baggage. "I am delightful to accept your offer, Sir." She responded and the guy took the baggage, She took Lucy from Ul. "Mom!" Ul looked back and saw a little girl who looks like her. She hugs Ul as Ul hugs her back.
After a mother and daughter reunion, Ul introduces Spetto and Lucy to Ultear, the little girl and the daughter of Ul. "She is cute!" Ultear exclaimed after having a sight to the princess. "She looks like a princess!" She added.
5 years later, Lucy grew up as cheerful kid and has the looks of her mother; having a golden hair and hazel brown orbs. She always wore an orange dress with puffed sleeves and a red doll shoes. She is way too friendly, thats why she knew all the people in the place.
"Ne, Spetto-san. What are these keys?" the little blonde girl asked while staring at the Celestial Keys. "Those are magical keys, Lucy-sama" She answered while putting the vegetables and meat on the table. "Those are from your mother, It will protect you once you know how to use magic" she added while getting the knife and cupboard on the cabinet. "Where is my mom?" She asked with a sad face. "I will tell you when you were a grown up and in the right time" she answered.
"Then when I will learn magic?" She asked excitedly with her curious brown orbs. "When you are at the right age, my dear" Lucy looked back and saw Ul standing on the kitchen's door. She approached to Ul and hugged her as a sign of welcome. "Welcome back, Ul-sama" Spetto greeted with a kind smile, slicing the carrots into pieces. She responded with a smile. "Aunt Ul! Where's Lyon and Ultear?" The little girl asked cheerfully to the ice mage. "They are with Gray outside" she answered calmly to Lucy.
"Gray?" She asked once again. "He is my new student, go and introduce yourself" She answered while touching Lucy's blonde hair. Lucy smiled as a sign of affirmation and run away. "Is there anything I can help?" Spetto asked as she stopped slicing vegetables. "The Queen wants you to give this book to Lucy." She said after putting the book on the table.
Flashback
"How's my daughter?" Layla asked worriedly to Ul, who showed her a smile.
"She is very fine, there is no sign of threat to her life and grew up with good manners too." She responded and felt that the Queen was relieved and still longing to see her daughter. Layla took a book and gave it to Ul.
"This book will teach her how to use magic." She stated with a serious tone. "Give to Spetto, she will be the one who will it to her." She added
"Yes, I will. Queen-sama" She said as she took the book and left the castle.
End of the Flashback
Lucy went out of the maroon door of the cottage. The place was very busy and most of them do the chores. She searched for them and found out they were at the quiet part of the lake side. She went there and saw crystal-like figures. She was so amazed by the rose figures. An ice lance is approaching to her but she didn't notice it, A raven haired boy pulled her, He saved her from the lance but made the figure scattered into pieces.
"Oh, how disappointing!" She exclaimed while picking a piece of the figure. "You don't care about your life, aren't you?" The boy asked to Lucy when Lyon and Ultear appeared. "Hey, Lyon! Be careful in using your magic! You almost hurt that girl!" He yelled while pointing to Lucy.
"What?!" Lyon asked with his eyes widened. "You almost hit Lucy, you idiot!" Ultear hitted Lyon's head. Lyon is two years older to Lucy while Ultear is three years older. Lyon is a student of Ul. "Lucy! Are you alright?" Ultear asked worriedly. "Yes, I am. He saved me." Lucy answered cheerfully while pointing to the raven haired boy. "Thanks to you, Gray." Ultear smiled. "Nah, that's just a little thing." Gray responded.
Lucy stood and introduced herself to Gray. "Nice to meet you, Lucy" Gray offered a shake hand as Lucy shook Gray's hand.
