Wahh thank you for these cute messages and reviews about this story ! I'm so glad the idea pleased, really !

So I won't say anything more to disturb you and here's the chapter one sorry not sorry for the unhappy beginning lmao

Illumines the Darkness.

( Chapter 1 : "Welcome into the Underworld, human.")

Fuck. Fuck everything.

Her wrong choices, her bad luck, her life…

Literally everything.

Here were the negatives thoughts of Lucy Heartfilia, now a 21 years old young woman… quite depressive. But where was the cute, bright and full of joy little Lucy ? Definitely lost in the past, she has probably missed the train leaving for "good life". What happened ? 12 years ago, her beloved mother died as expected, right on the day when the doctors said that she should die. It was too like her… Never in advance and never late, Layla Heartfilia was always so punctual, even for the death. After this, Lucy lived with her father, who still worked so hard even after the death of his beloved wife. They cried a lot, of course. They still hugged each other, of course. But all of these affections, day by day, year by year, began to slowly disappear. Every day Jude saw his daughter's face, he couldn't restrain himself of thinking about Layla, and it broke his heart too much. All of these emotions and all of his hard labor at work destroyed him over the years, and one day, his poor soul decided to quit the world while he was sleeping, gently. So at 13 years old, Lucy, now orphan was placed in an orphanage, place that she will hate for ever.

We could not tell that, now at 21 years, she looks so "depressive". She was just calm, too much calm for her natural behavior.

Today like for a big part of her life was a pile of mess. First of all, early in the morning, a heavy crash was able to be heard in front of her home, while she was still sleeping. She didn't bother to watch what was that at the moment, but maybe she had to : a tractor coming from the field on the opposite side of her house came to collide strongly her car, already in poor condition at the beginning. Result, her car was totally broken so when she was ready to go to work, she wasn't able to arrive at time because she had to go there with her feet. Secondly, when she arrived at work, her boss was –as expected- very ashamed on her, but also decided to fired her up because he "found a better en more enjoyable journalist instead of her" a while ago. Result, no more job = no more money = no more car = no more job because she lived in a poor region of the town.

She sighed heavily only to think of it, because she knew it certainly won't be the only "bad adventures" she will have to endure today. She didn't know why, just a feeling.

After these two very awful experiences, she wanted to travel through the forest, which was a longer path to go back home as late as possible. In her way, it began to rain, but she didn't seem to bother, sighing to herself.

Her day was already too messed up, it wasn't some water falling of the sky which was going to aggravate things.

Well… That's was what she was thinking at first.

A hurricane was going to happen, it was certain. And it was without the slightest umbrella or hood that Lucy advanced even more profoundly in woods, evading branches of trees torn away by the violent wind, hoping to find a cave or any places which could help her to be safe from the natural disaster.

It was fast afternoon.

Tired, the poor young woman, who has already been in distress all day for various reasons, finally appeared after several hours hidden in a very small cave. It wasn't raining anymore. She yawned and sighed at the same time, if it was even possible.

Still wet after the rainy torrent which has destroyed a part of the place she was hidden for too long, Lucy began to walk by taking the path leading to her small village.

Less or more than twenty minutes later, her feet were aching and her face twitched at little at that. Like always, when she was alone and kind of sad, she started to talk a little to herself.

- "When all of this misfortune had the time to choice me instead of all others people ?..."

Sighing for like the hundredth time of the day, she continued, playing with her fingers while watching at the red-orangy sky.

- "… Well, I guess it can't be worst than this now—"

She hadn't had the time to finish her sentence when she fell herself falling down between some dead leafs, into a black world, cold and warm at the same time.

Cold…

- "Oh my god, what is this ?"

So cold…

- "It can't be…"

- "Sir José ? Do you know what is it ?" The shy voice here seemed quite alarmed.

The person named "Sir José" was near the cooled body and breathed deeply before answering to the other person, who apparently seemed to be a woman.

- "…Sue, I can tell you that today is our lucky day." His voice was everything but the voice of a good person. It was rough, as machiavellian, and inspired not at all confidence.

What the hell is happening ? Where I am ?

For now, everything was dark and still so cold. Lucy fell that she couldn't move any finger, and obviously couldn't open her eyes. Fortunately –or not ?- she heard the man's body moving farther of her own. She didn't know how, but she sensed a sort of "dark aura" and she was relieved enough to feel it a little farther now.

Finally, her right eyes opened itself a little, allowing her to see with who she was confronted. It seemed to surprise the woman who was still watching at her attentively.

… Well, if this can be called a "woman" at all ?

Now Lucy's two eyes were wide open, filled with dismay. The woman –called Sue- who was standing right in front of her had the body of a natural woman, but… has two little horns decorating her head. Not only this, but she has a weird mark on her front which looked like a half-moon having a point on the center, with a curl on the other side of the half-moon. What a strange mark. But most than everything… how this girl has managed to have horns on her head ? Clogs instead of feet ? and… wait, she looked just like a chamois. Why was she looking like a chamois ? How ?

- "S-Sir José ! The-The strange- ! It's awake !"

- "What !?"

Now, looking at the man beside the "chamois-woman", only one expression could be seen on Lucy's face.

Ew.

How could she describe her disgust toward this "man" was something, but the way he was looking at her was so horrifying. He looked like if she was some kind of treasure or whatever, but not with this kind of eyes like "cute and bright and filled with hope", but more like these which are "terrifying and disgusting and filled with nightmares". She couldn't tell if he looked happy or not, but his next sentence fast made her understand something.

- "She's alive… Guess I'll have to kill her myself so."

She was in bad position.

Not only because she was in front of a man who wanted to kill her, but more because this "man" looked like a demon, a real one. He had sharp black-purple wings behind his back, she could see it clearly, even if they were folded up on themselves. His ears were very big and pointed. All of his skin was so pale it could be transparent, except his two hands which were of a deep black. Lucy had the feeling that if she had the bad luck to be touched by it, she'd fast be vanished of this world. His weird most-made-of-purple costume made him looks like a demonic clown-demon, and she didn't know if she had to laugh or cry.

The strange symbol which was on the woman's front was also visible on José's jacket. Was it a sort of sect symbol or something ? Still, it didn't make her feel comfortable with these people.

Suddenly, while Lucy was ready to live her last moments, José was put on the ground by an almost invisible strength, and it terrified Lucy even more -if it was even possible-.

- "Sir Jos—Argh !?" Sue was then struck by an enormous gust of wind coming from nowhere.

The poor blonde was breathless when she seen what, or more who, had just arrived.

A woman with white curled hair standing up in the air and a long braid on the forehead was standing right in front of José, a mad look locked in her deep blue eyes. She was wearing a sort of a weird bathing suit, showing a large part of the front of her well formed body, and long boots of the same burgundy color. What was frightening was her hands which were covered by dark green scales making them looks like crocodile's legs, the long demon tail which was placed in the bottom of the back, and of course wings with all of this, looking like José's one, but a little smaller.

Lucy's eyes switched to see that there was an other person, who was in front of Sue. It was a little girl with incredibly messed pink hair. It seemed that her skin was recovered at some places by dragon's scales, which were- Lucy had to admit- very pretty. His little wrists and ankles were covered with… white feathers ? A lot of wind seemed to turn around her, as if she controlled it.

Lucy just remained stunned.

So much stunned, that she fainted in some yellow flowers which smelled weird.

She only gasped of surprise when she opened her tired eyes.

Not even knowing how she had arrived there, Lucy scanned the girly room she was into. The bed which had allowed her to sleep was covered with a sky blue blanket, and some cuddly fluffs were arranged above her head. It's when she was still watching the disposition of the room that she heard a small shout of surprise coming from the door.

- "Mira-san ! She's awake !"

The little girl who slightly shouted this had long blue hair and deep brown eyes. Lucy didn't know why, but her visage reminded her of someone, someone she has just met recently.

- "So you're finally awake ? Finally, I thought you would be sleeping forever ! Did you have sweet dreams ?" Said someone beside the girl.

The still sleepy blond head watched above the girl's head to see a magnificent young woman with curly white hair… and small goat's horn decorating her head. Gasping, she furtively watched again the little girl's face, only to see that she missed to perceive that some slight white scales were on her innocent face.

No… I thought it was just a nightmare !

Perceiving the terror in Lucy's eyes, the young woman advanced in the room, a reassuring smile on her lips.

- "Don't worry ! We're here to help you, it's us who we saved you earlier." She watched at her friend who was now behind her and talked to her in a very pleasant voice, "Wendy, could you please verifying again if she's physically alright, please ?"

It's with a determined smile that "Wendy" approached her, advancing her little hands –also slightly covered with white scales- in front of Lucy's face, "Yes, of course !".

A bright and warm light emanated from the hands, comforting just a little.

She still was a bit stressed after all.

With a voice filled with a point of fear, Lucy allowed herself to ask something to these two kind strangers, "…Can I ask… who are you ? Or more, 'what' are you ?"

She added after a small moment of silence, "And also, where I am ?"

Wendy fast finished her examination, and said that everything was normal, even if she was still visibly stressed. It's "Mira" –Lucy hadn't forgot that Wendy had called her like this earlier- who finally answered all of her questions.

- "Like I said earlier, we're here to help you. And to be honest," she giggled a little " I have to tell that I'm surprised to see that you don't know who we are, since you came into our world by the only point of access." After having inhaled a blow, she finally answered,

"We are monsters, and you are now trapped into the Underworld, dear human."

Yayy first chapter here !

You all are going to know about all kind of monsters later, but I hope that you're not too confused for now. I decided to let them have a slight human appearance, but with animal or demon or other's addition on them.

For the one who know undertale, yeah, OF COURSE I had to make Mirajane as "Toriel" ahah ! I already miss this kind little goat-mommy in the game ;; (But well, Mirajane won't do everything like the real Toriel, it wouldn't be fun like this )

( Also, for the one who don't know who "Sue" is, she's the tanned girl from Phantom Lord who like Happy, she's wearing a weird hat which seems to have 2 horns on it. Hope I kind of refreshed your memories. )

I'm already going to work on the second chapter now, I'm so boosted with this story !

-Daria.
