She was beautiful. The most beautiful girl in Magnolia. Her hair was as golden as the sun and had eyes as beautifully warm brown as ones ayes could get. Her body was perfect in every single way. No scrapes, scratches or bruises anywhere in sight. Her perfect skin shone like a warm inviting light that no one could compare to. Her smile was always warm and inviting and spoke sweet kind words every day. Her name was Lucy Heartfilia, and she was the princess of Fiore.

Naturally her father, Jude Heartfilia, was king. But alas, sadly, her mother Layla had died many years prior do to an illness that had overcome her health. Her last words to her daughter, as that little girl cried, were, "Please don't cry tears of pain my dear sweet child. Let those tears my ones of joy the next time you cry. I will always be here, in your heart. Remember my words my darling, for I love you. Remember my teachings, always show your kindness no matter what. Everyone deserves that much." And that is just what little Lucy had done. 17 now, she never once cried a tear of sadness and pain and always showed kindness to everyone. For the 12 years left alone, left in a dark place, but her smile never showed it.

Jude, however, couldn't stay happy. He had lost his wife, the love of his life. And his little Lucy was the exact copy of Layla. He couldn't handle it. It broke his heart every time he looked at her. So what else cold her do but avoid her? Spending all his time in the throne room, in meetings, hell, he even ate dinner at a separate time than her. When he hosted balls, she was forced to wander the halls or stay in her room, he was never allowed to go. He turned into a bitter man in the past twelve years. It was a sad sight really, but he was too stubborn to see.

Being a princess was hard work, and lonely, especially when you're an only child. Luckily, she had her servants. The closest ones being her maid, Virgo, her body guards, Loke, Taurus and Capricorn. She grew up with them and they all loved her as equally as she loved them. Sure her life wasn't perfect, but she was happy none the less. And let me tell you, she couldn't imagine another life. And yes there were little things she wanted to change in her oh so exciting life but that didn't make it unbearable. As far as she could tell, her life was perfect.

Tonight, her father was hosting anther ball, and yet again, she was forced to stay away from it. She went out to her balcony to look up at the stars and dream. She didn't even hear Loke walk up behind her. "Forced to stay away again, hmm hime?" He asked her. She sighed. "Loke, is it wrong to feel mad and hurt?" She had answered him. He chuckled and said, "No, of course not. In fact it's perfectly natural." "I just- wish, that my life had a little more flare, ya know?" He couldn't help but smile at her day dreams. "Well, how's about we do something dangerous tonight?" He asked with a mischievous sound in his voice. "Oh yeah? Like what my good sir?" She asked with suspicion and a little bit of curiosity.

"You and I cold head to my room an-"He had started but quickly interrupted by Lucy yelling at him, "No, absolutely not! Loke oh my god, you're such a pervert!" She said while laughing. "Actually I was thinking we could play a game like Dungeons and Dragons but you know, now that you mention it, that other suggestion sounds pretty good too." "Loke…" She said with a chastising tone. He lifts his hands in the air defensively. "Okay…okay. It was just a suggestion. But if you don't like those options, then how's about we sneak out of the palace?" She rolls her eyes at the ridiculous suggestion. "Oh yeah," She asks, "And do what? There is nothing to do for me out there. Besides our grounds are too huge to escape at night." "Well that's true. But instead of leaving the castle grounds, why don't we visit a special someone?" She gasps at his statement. "You don't mean?" He nods and grins. "But father forbids anyone form going there. Not even I." "Exactly hime. That's why we're going to be sneaking. So what do you say? Up for excitement, a challenge?" And of course, she couldn't say no.

She was here. After twelve years of loneliness, she was finally able to see her again. Lucy slowly walks up to the head stone, nervous about being caught. She stands there for a moment, confused on what to say. "Uhhh, hi momma. I know I have never come to visit and I'm sorry. I should have come sooner I know, but father forbade it. What can I say? I'm happy. Loke and everyone keeps me company when father is unable too. I haven't cried a single tear of pain since you left. I make people smile all the time too! I just wish something can happen. I'm 17 and I still haven't fallen in love yet. Is it because I'm not ready? I wish it would happen. I'm tired of this lonely life. Oh no! I love all my friends, I just- want more." Loke was standing back a ways. He wanted to give some alone time with Lucy and her mother. Yet as he did, something just didn't feel right.

He was flying overhead when he smelled a luscious scent. It was the most powerful smell he had ever smelled. It was sweet, yet earthy. The scent came from directly down below. And he had heard her whole conversation. So she wanted something to happen eh? He swooped down and followed her scent. When he had found her, he picked her up with his claws. He wanted, no, needed her. From now on she was his. She could bring light to his dark, lonely world. No else would, he was a dragon. But she was different, he could tell. And he will learn to love him as he will learn to too.
