Natsu, the only one who is unaffected by her magical pressure, wraps an arm around her shoulder. "They simply don't understand. Take a deep breath and explain so that they don't make the same mistake again. I'm sure they will understand once you tell us everything. " He says calmly.
Lucy takes a breath and relaxes not only herself but the magic pressure that's crushing almost everyone. She explains, "My Papa fell in love with my Mama, Layla Dreyer, the moment he laid eyes on her when they were both teenagers. He knew she was his mate but he also knew that the way he was then wasn't good enough for her. So he did everything he could to become the man that Mama would be proud to be beside. It took him five years to change himself AND break away from his friend who didn't want him to change. His friend didn't want my parents to get together which is why it took Papa so long to get away but he never told me how he did it.
"When Papa and Mama met again, they were both young adults. They had a bit of a rocky start since Papa wasn't the only man who wanted to be with Mama but they quickly formed a strong bond when Papa would always save her from unwanted attention. He would protect her and she would help him try to live among humans. He was stubborn about it at first but he was determined to do anything just so they could be together more.
"When he was sure that they're bond was strong enough, he told her everything. He couldn't hold the secret of who he was anymore. So he took a risk and revealed everything. Who he really was and what she is to him and everything. Papa was ready for her to leave him but instead of hitting him like he thought she would, she kissed him and said she already knew from the start and that she loved him. That night Papa claimed her as his mate.
"However, instead of having a happy life together, a man named Jude was also in love with Mama and was furious seeing her with another man. He tried everything he could to separate them but nothing worked. In fact, he simply helped bring them together. It got so bad that Mama and Papa went into hiding just so they could be in peace.
"On the night of my birth, Papa was preparing to bring us to a beautiful meadow when Jude found Mama. He killed her when he saw that she gave birth to me. If it wasn't for Papa, I would be dead as well. He regretted not saving her but he lived for me and gave me all of his love. My Papa taught me everything I know; my dragon magic, my MAMA'S magic, everything about my Mama, and what happened the night she was killed. He kept no secrets from me just like he didn't with Mama.
"When I turned seven, a demon came. He was dark and everything around him died. He kidnapped my Papa and is controlling him. He would've taken me too if I didn't injure him as badly as I did. I don't even know if that man is alive or not but I know my Papa is. I'll catch stories here and there about him but I haven't found him yet." She looks at everyone in the guild with determined eyes, "My Papa is not a monster."
The guild was silent. They didn't know how to respond. It was a shock. Acolongia willingly left the life of death and destruction to be with his love. That takes a lot of strength and courage to do. A lot of them apologizes for what they said about her father.
Makarov smiles at his children.
