Once Lucy got into the city she went straight to the stables to buy a horse. She had went their with her mother before her mother grew ill and passed. She had brought money from the castle to buy her own horse and leave the capital.

As she approached she noticed that there was only one horse.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could buy a horse?" "How much money you got?" Asked the horse owner.

"5000 Jewel. Is that enough?" Lucy asked. "5000 Jewel! Of course that's enough." The horse owner said with a grin on his face. She gave the man the money and took the horse and started off on the trail to the nearest village.

Natsu's POV-

Natsu was someone who lived in a small village. The population only being 256. His father had been the fire dragon, Igneel. But then he disappeared. Natsu waited weeks alone with no food or water. Until a few soldiers from the nearby village found him.

They raised him as their own but when he started growing up he started changing too. At first he didn't know how to control his power. The power to change into a dragon, to breath fire in human form and out.

Most people in the village were scared of him but his adoptive father always tried to make him fit in. Still Natsu wanted to go out, master his power, maybe become a mage that way. Truth was he didn't know how.

"Hey, Gramps?" Natsu said to his adoptive father.

"What?" He said startled from being woken up. "Do you think I will ever get out there and find something I truly love." Natsu asked.

"Not if you keep destroying part of the village just because a few wolfs keep trying to get our sheep." "I don't mean to. I guess I do over do it but at least I get the wolfs to go away." Natsu said sitting up.

"Doesn't matter because sheep cost less than the town and I always have to do paperwork to get people to fix it. That also takes up time, Natsu." Natsu laid back down on the ground and looked up at the sky filled with stars and wondered what life was waiting for him out there.

When the morning came the first thing natsu did was go out fishing with his friend Happy, the flying cat. "Hey, Happy! I got one!" Natsu said excitedly. "Great! I got three!" Happy said cheerfully. "And no burning them Natsu!" "Ok, ok I won't"

As Natsu was heading back to the village he noticed smoke coming from the village. "Gramps!" Natsu ran into screaming chaos. "Gramps!" He yelled looking around. "Happy, fly over and see if you can spot him while I look on the ground." Natsu said.

"Aye." Happy said as he flew up into the sky.

"Gramps!" Natsu kept yelling as he ran around trying to help as many people as he could while still looking for him.

Lucy is riding her horse when she sees the smoke. "Oh, no." Lucy rode off faster to the burning village. What she didn't know was that someone who'd change her whole life was there and he didn't know it yet but he was waiting for her too.
