Wow it's been a while since I updated this story. With all my hospital things going on I never really got to focusing on this story. Sorry for the delay on this story.

JUST GIVE ME THE INFO YOU WANT IT TO BE ABOUT AND I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE! :D
ENJOY!
The sound of high heels clicked against marvel stone at an even rhythm. Followed by foot soldiers stomping at the same pace. A high class women with two guards on each side of her walked towards the exit of a large castle. The dark women turned around to face her castle's entrance. Only to see millions of men pour out, as dark clouds started to roll in covering up the once sunny sky turning it into a dark one.
All the men held weapons of all sorts. Knives, Spiked Clubs, and most commonly Swords. This appearance only made them look like complete barbarians.
"Lady Demune?" Her faithful servant trembled. As an evil smile played on her features. Knowing well the out come of this war who will be most victorious.
"My men! Today will be the day we tear down the Heartfilla Kingdom, and bring forth a new age for the new generations of Dragneel's yet to come. No more will you suffer or starve and be held in a rat cage. TODAY YOU CLAIM YOUR FREEDOM FOR OUR KINGDOM!" Demune cheered, the ruffians following her suit. Ignoring her servant Len.
'Everything is going according to plan.' She chuckled evilly at her dark thoughts. As the Dragon Knights cheered for their freedom. Sadly, their freedom would never come. The thoughtful speech she had wittingly come up with, was all lies. It was only to motivate the fighters for a sure victory.
Then once victory was assured, she would claim the Heartfilla kingdom all her own. Taking the life of the princess and her idiot of a father. Only copying their images for her own disposal. Once it would be all over she would just bury the Dragon Knights back underground forever staying in that hell hole of a war room.
It was a perfectly flawless plan. Nothing could possibly go wrong. After hours of rethinking her strategy she knew this plan would work. But only one little flaw was left out of her plans, the dragon. Non of the guards could track were the creature had run off to. Neither had she receive word of the Princess. Lady Demune frowned at the thought of her actually losing this war.
"Come on Men!" The leader of the Dragon Knights pointed a sword forward making all of them start marching towards the Heartfilla castle. Breaking the queens dark thoughts.
"Len…" The dark witch spoke.
"Y-Yes your majesty?" The nervous man stuttered.
"Find me that Dragon and don't come back without it." The women commanded.
Len winced at her serous tone. It was an impossible task for a man like him. A man so timid and so scarred even of his own shadow sent to find a Dragon?
"Y-Yes my queen…" Len stuttered out. He had no choice but to agree to his queens orders.
"Good." The women smiled genuinely for the first time to the servant. For thirty years he had been working for lady Demune and never once did he see her smile. Len nervously smiled back a toothy grin, turning around in his heels heading towards the Heartfilla kingdom with the rest of the Dragon Knights.
"And Len. If you are to fail my request. I would have to chop your head in two… Understand?" With that Len's happy thought's were over. A frown sketched on his face as his queen bluntly smacked him with the news so cheerfully.
'How could she say that so… Happily?' The loyal servant winced.
"U-Understood." Len coughed out. He was unable to breathe as a ball formed in his throat making his ability for speech even more unusable.
Len took a small step forward before kicking his heels in the ground, catching up to the Dragon Knights.
'Prepare for war, Hearfilla scum…'

"Hey Luce?" Natsu rubbed his snout against the blonde's stomach softly.
"Yea what's up?" Lucy questioned back cheerfully petting the dragons scaly nose.
"Well I was just thinking… Maybe we should just take a break for finding my true love." The dragon spoke nervously, diverting his eyes away from the princess.
"What? Why, Don't you want to break the curse?" Lucy raised a brow curious to why the Dragon would change his mind so suddenly.
"I-"
"What about Wendy's wish to turn you back don't you want to fulfill it?" The blonde question again, interrupting the Dragon.
"Yea of course but-"
"But what?" Lucy interrupted once more.
"I JUST WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME WITH YOU ALRIGHT!" Natsu roared loudly, his eyes closed knowing he went to far. He never once screamed at the blonde this way. But rudely interrupting him would get him no where. So he did the only logical thing he could possibly do to shut her up. The salamander always knew he wasn't good with controlling his emotions so screaming at her was the only option left.
Slowly cracking open his eyes he watched as the blonde sat there blinking at him. A stunned look plastered on her face.
"Your so weird." The Dragon commented, a light chuckle escaping from his jaws. This remark snapped the blonde out of her trance, making her give a sour look towards the Dragon.
"I should be the one saying that. Mr. I'm-a-talking-Dragon." Lucy sounded out, pointing out the obvious.
"Oi!" Natsu pouted as the princess rudely insulted him. Opening his mouth for a good comeback he stopped himself as Lucy opened hers first.
"But… Yes." Lucy smiled. "If you want to hang out with me longer than sure. Maybe we do need a break from finding available singles for a fire breathing dragon." Lucy giggled scratching the back of her head bashfully. Blushing many shades of red. The creature smiled to his princess. Well tried to, as his jaw lines lifted into something of a toothy grin showing off all his canines.
'Today's the day, I finally tell her how I feel.'

"Today's the day we claim our freedom men! The day we start a war!" The leader of the Dragon Knights cheered as they neared closer to the Heartfilla Kingdom.
Large stone walls a mile high stood surrounding the castle. Soldiers in high up towers watched over the land for any intruders. As the massive army of foot soldiers marched towards the iron gates the soldiers above panicked. All of them yelling to one another to blow the horn to signal the castle. One of the guards blew into the pipe as a long holding D note sang throughout the castle walls.
It was a moment of complete silence. All through the castle and its kingdom no one moved. It was as if they had all been paralyzed in time. When suddenly a women screams echoed breaking the silence, making the citizens of the kingdom go in a fright. People scurried to take shelter in nearby houses. While men of the royal guard's departed from the families to protect their kingdom.
"Daddy where are you going?" A little girl cried as her father said his goodbye's.
"Don't worry sweetheart everything will be alright. Just stay with mommy ok?" The father soothed, kissing his daughters forehead. As he ran off to join the other troops.
"DADDY!" The little girl wailed against her mothers chest. Seeking comfort from all the mayhem.

A held note sang for at least twenty seconds as it vibrated throughout the forest causing nearby birds to flee from their nests. Princess Lucy, Erza, and Natsu the Dragon held up their heads in the direction of the noise.
As a shot Erza ran to her cabin kicking the door almost knocking it down from its hinges. Lucy quickly trailed behind, leaving the baffled Dragon alone, as to why they were so alarmed.
The blonde stood at the door of the wooden cabin. As the red headed knight quickly put on her suit of armor over her body.
"Erza…" Lucy breathed out.
"Princess, I need you to do me a favor. Pick up Levy and runaway from here its to dangerous right now for you to be spotted." The Knight commanded, sliding iron cuffs over her forearms.
"I cant do that what about you? What about my father?" The blonde feared over her best friend.
"THIS IS AN ORDER PRINCESS! My job is to protect you… I promised to Layla that I would always keep you safe." The red head spoke seriously, finally sliding her sword into place at her left flank.
Lucy watched as the Knight had finally dressed for battle. Looking into Erza's eyes for any doubt what so ever. There was nothing, just a brilliant gleam in her eye. She was sure of her decision. All the blonde could do was nod slowly. The Knight smiled at her dear friend before running out of her cabin and down towards the castle following the cobble stone path.
The Princess watched as her friend disappeared. Heading towards a bloody war. Quickly regaining her compose. The blonde was furious, she didn't want to stand by and watch as mayhem ate away at her kingdom. No, she wanted to fight back, she wanted to help!
Going back to the woods were her Dragon was kept hidden safely away. Natsu perked up and watched as Lucy held a frown on her face.
"Some thing wrong?" The creature questioned, as the Princess started to climb the scales on his back.
"Were going t-to go to that large castle in the c-center of t-town." Lucy groaned as she was having difficulty lifting her way up the Dragon.
"Wont we get exposed?" The salamander questioned once again, raising his tail to give Lucy a bump up to the top of his neck.
"Yea. But we have to do something. I can't just sit around idly while my kingdom is in trouble." The princess responded proudly.
"So that horn we heard earlier…" The dragon gulped hoping it didn't mean what he was thinking.
"War." Lucy narrowed her eyes. The scaly creature followed her suit.
"If you want to save your kingdom so be it. But not without me." Natsu grinned as he sat up positioning himself for take off.
"Thanks Natsu." The blonde smiled back.
The dragons large wings unfolded themselves. Wind already propelling underneath them as the grass moved savagely against the force of the breeze. A flap came from annexes making the Dragon lift himself off the ground hovering over the plain. Suddenly without warning the extensions flapped harder and faster overlapping their movements. The creature flew high in the sky over the large castle walls to adjust itself to the high altitude. This gave Lucy a birds eye view of the conflict being held below her.
As her royal guards gathered around the iron gates ready for the opponent to strike. She watched as the barbarians attacking her own castle hammered away at the gate with a large tree trunk. As the men heaved hoe at the gates they finally breached through. Making the savage men cheer as they entered her kingdom. Narrowing her eyes to get a closer look she spotted a Dragon insignia. Plastered on their armor. Lucy tugged at one of her dragons scales getting his attention.
"What is that?" Lucy yelled over the roar of the wind, making it somewhat hard to talk.
With highly trained ears the Dragon twisted its snake like body around. His eyes widen at the sight of his Dragon knights attacking the Heartfilla Kingdom.
"Those are my Dragon Knight's!" Natsu roared back his response. Unsure of what was taking place below the two. Never were the Dragon Knights ever summoned in the Dragneels power. The Dragneel kingdom was a peaceful place. Why would they attack Lucy's kingdom.?When a sudden thought came into the creature mind.
'That damn witch will pay for her crimes. No one will harm my Lucy!'
