"The real dragons…are strong, noble…" the annoying bloodied pink-haired fire dragonslayer coughed out. "And gentle." But to Acnologia's ears. That's just bullshit. Fucking bullshit. To him, Natsu had no right to say what 'real' dragons are. Because he already experienced what it's like to live in a world full of dragons. They took his everything. His family, his friends, his life.

The war with Alvarez is over, but things still aren't good for Lucy. Still struggling with loneliness and a feeling of disconnect from the guild and especially Natsu after they had all left her behind, she tries to recover herself despite the lingering bitterness.

After Lissanna Strauss returns from the 'dead' and everyone celebrates her stunning return for at least over a month, everyone including Natsu has forgotten all about Lucy who has been in a bit of a rut ever since. After a job Team Natsu, and Lissanna took on, and failed everyone takes out all there anger on Lucy. Now without a guild, or friends Lucy vows to get stronger as a mage.
