Lol...Just don't even ask me where I've been...Now I'm here. With Chapter One of the New Version...

Lucy was covered in sweat and grime. She was now twelve- living with Acnologia for four years. She punched the tree harder, her knuckles bleeding, hair covered in dirt. The animals had long vacated this dead tree. Harder, said M. Harder. Alas, her fists punctured the black bark harder. Frustrated groans could be heard from her small body.

Behind her, she heard colossal shaking, which she could only assume was Acnologia. The tree was almost tipped over, but Acnologia heaved a heavy scoff.

"I did not take you in for nothing! To be a failure! I raised you better than this, Lucy."

Lucy heaved fast," I-I know, daddy. I know...But did you see? It was almost all the way tipped over!"

Acnologia only sighed, and the shake of his footsteps faded away. Lucy frowned.

Acnologia's POV

I walked away from Lucy, slightly dissapointed. It's called tough love. I thought I trained her better than this! She's supposed to be the prodigy of Agnologia! Me! If I wished, I could step on her and she would be dead! But, alas, I do not wish that. Ever. Even if I am tough on her, she knows I will never let anyone harm her. Especially M-

I was knocked out of my thoughts when Oy Fae arrived. He was the messenger of the dragon realm- a small, sprite-like dragon. I scoffed.

"Oy Fae. I haven't seen you in awhile."

"As I. It's not like the rest of the dragons fancy you much."

I yawned, trying to reveal my sharp fangs to him. He seemed to get the message, as he jumbled his words a bit.

"U-Uh, well, it seems like they accept you now."

"How so?"

"W-Well, all the Dragons seem to have human children now...Including you. They all wish to have a meeting and were thinking, well, maybe they could all bring their apprentices along."

"Uninterested."

"Why?"

"They excluded me before. I am a dragon. I may have down terrible things in my past, but I ever so told them I had changed. Yet they chose to ignore me. I wish to ignore them now."

At that moment, Lucy blankly wandered up to me, with her bleeding knuckles.

"Who's this," Lucy said more kindly than I'll ever be able to.

"My, child! I am Oy Fae the messenger!"

Lucy whispered to me," Daddy, do you like him?" I shook my massive head.

"I don't like you," Lucy said to Oy Fae out of the blue.

Oy Fae frowned," W-Well, are you sure? You only just met me!" Lucy squinted her eyes at him.

"Please consider the offer," Oy Fae said, upset, as he flew away.

As his small body spun like a dart through the air, I chuckled a bit and scruffled Lucy's hair with my claw.

Third Person POV

Acnologia had let Lucy stop training for the day. He plopped down with a loud drop. Lucy lay behind his tail, as he brung his tail and Lucy closer to him. He thought about the offer he denied earlier- maybe it would be good for Lucy. She could show the other children how much more powerful she was from them...But he could not watch her most of the time, as the dragons would need to discuss something.

Acnologia mentally battled with himself, and Lucy quietly slept next to him. The moon loomed mysteriously over the giant, stone cave. The sky was splattered with the anticipation of the next day, as it started to rain slightly. Acnologia groaned a bit, trying not to wake Lucy, but knowing the unescapable fate of mud. Acnologia decided to quiet himself, and fell asleep soon after.

As always, Lucy was awake before Acnologia. She was punching a tree, and it was almost off it's stump.

"So..How long have you been at it?"

Lucy jumped a bit," Twenty minutes. I'm getting better, right?"

"Yes, you are. But this is only one challenge." Lucy groaned.

After a few minutes, Acnologia was finally fully awake. He crawled out of the cave and stood up. The orange light gleamed on the dead grass, overheating it. A few flies swerved throughout the air, resulting in him eating them all in one breath.

"Get ready to go, Lucy. We're going somewhere."

At that moment, the tree fell down, as well as Lucy's jaw.

"Where," Lucy said, excited.

"You're going to meet children like you."

At that moment, Lucy climbed up Acnologia's big scales, and plopped down on his back, and held on to him, ready for take off.
