Hey, guys! Here I am with the new chpter. Thanks for your reviews, though they were a little confusing... However, enjoy this chapter because, I am a little sad to say this, but this is the last one. And because I'm having a good day, I will make this chapter longer! So please review!

The woman looked at her nephew shocked.

''Gray? Gray Fullbuster? What are you doing here? Go away, or you'll get hurt.''

''No, Grandma. It's time you stop this nonsense. You did too much.''

''What are you talking about?'', she laughed. ''I gave these people what they deserved.''

''Gray…'', said Natsu. ''Lucy… is…''

''I know.'', the reply calm. ''Don't worry about it.'' about it? The next moment he felt a kick in his face, that made him fall and bleed. The Queen screamed angrily after doing this:

''Are you even listening to me?''

Natsu rested in his elbow, wiping his nose. He was trembling, feeling how anger spread in his body. He tried to punch her, but she just thrust her hand and in a second, he was all covered in ice. But she saw a little surprised how it started melting. In a few moments, he was free and tried to kick her head while his foot was on fire. She easily dodged it and touched his shoulder with her little finger, making him freeze once more. But this time, he exploded in fire, burning her hand. She screamed and turned her fingers in sharp icicles. She aimed his heart, but somehow he managed to dodge it. Everything happened so fast, that Gray barely had time to remember how to do magic. He managed to freeze her foot, but his ice was green, so when she tried to break it, the green just spread in her ice, making her unable to move it. Then it slowly covered all her body. Natsu was watching while his body was all on fire. With all his anger, he jumped with his fist preparing to hit her. And it was worth it. Her beautiful but scared face was not hit with all his strength. She screamed with pain, and her nose and lips were now bleeding. It would have killed her, throwing her head away from her body, but she was tough like ice, stronger than he expected. Now she fainted.

Natsu wanted to hit her again and again, but Gray stopped him.

''That's enough.'', he said. ''She got what she deserved.''

''ARE YOU KIDDING ME? BECAUSE OF HER, LUCY IS DEAD!'', he screamed struggling to get free from his tight grip.

Gray shook him shouting to shut up and listen to him. Natsu calmed a little, but he was still angry.

''Listen, Lucy is not dead.''

The young man's eyes widened and hope spread in him. But he was still doubting his friend's words. His face turned sad and he said lowly, with pain, feeling how tears were coming back:

''She is dead… It was me who killed her…''

But right under his look, a beautiful and tender blond girl came out of her hideout, walking toward the two shyly, facing the ground. Natsu felt how his heart stopped. He felt how his eyes were inundated by tears once again. He wasn't able to tell himself what happened. She was alive, right in front of his eyes. He felt how Gray let him free. He tried to find his words, to say something to her, but all that came to his mind was the knife he jabbed in her big heart while his hand was trembling. His happiness turned into sadness thinking she would hate him for what he did. But everything was so confusing.

''You want to know what happened?'', Gray said with a smile on his face.

Lucy found the courage to look in Natsu's eyes. She wasn't angry, but she was sad. He couldn't get his eyes off her.

''Impossible…'', he laughed confused. ''Is she a ghost?''

She worried and came near him. She shyly put her hand on his cheek.

''You see, Natsu, the one you killed wasn't Lucy.'', said Gray. ''When Lucy found the note you gave her, she came to me, for she was a little worried something might happen. It wasn't like you at all to call her on the top of a volcano just to tell her something. She guessed that you wanted to show her that it wasn't a mountain, but a volcano, because she knew it already. So thinking about your wired reaction lately, I thought you found something in the library. So I did a fast research. I found through the books of forbidden magic how to turn a beast into a human, so I used it, but it it's just temporarily. Then I called down a spirit named Gemini, form the zodiac. It can take form of everything it touches, so I send it in stead of Lucy. Actually, you didn't even kill it, because it's a spirit, it can't die. As you already found out, the book you read it was just a fake, and it won't be useful at all. It seemed that you, as a savior, don't have to do anything, for it is all about your love. You don't have to do much to love.''

Lucy turned red and looked at the ground. Natsu looked at her and, while tears rolled on his cheeks, he said lowly.

'' I am so happy… I…I'm sorry that I tried to… kill you, Lucy.''

She smiled as if it was nothing.

''Oh, and…'', Natsu said saddening, ''…I guess I saved nothing specifically…''

''It's ok! We would rather stay like this forever than losing Lucy.'', he said grinning and resting his arm on Lucy's shoulders and dragging her near him.

''I am so sorry…'', Natsu whispered facing the ground.

''Natsu, my boy, you tried to save us, even if you weren't engaged to. We are thankful for this.''

''I kinda was engaged. I am the savior. And what's with the my boy? You are my age.''

Gray started laughing.

''I guess I got used to being the wise old guy. So, how I was saying, you did a great job by doing nothing.''

''You're not helping.'', Natsu said piercing him with his eyes.

After Gray finished his laughing, they all remained quiet for a long time. Every one with their own thoughts. Natsu was still facing the ground with a sad look on his face. But suddenly he froze. He looked at Gray fast and saw a huge icicle at his back that was advanced soundless. He jumped on his friend, making the witch dodge her target. Gray came back to his senses fast. He was now o guard. Lucy got further scared.

''You little burning chicken…'', the mad woman gnashed. ''YOU MADE ME ENOUGH PROBLEMS!'', she said jumping on Natsu with hundred of huge icicles forming around her.

''You would kill your own nephew?!'', he said dodging and melting the ice with his flames.

''Who cares?! He is the enemy!'', she said fighting with unbelievable speed. Gray tried to help Natsu, but he soon realized his grandmother was now aiming for Lucy. She was such a maniac, they couldn't believe her. Natsu was now thinking that the curse was alive as long as she was. But he didn't want to kill her.

''Gray! Help me out here!'', he said. She retreated for a moment to catch her breath, while he told the wolf-human to freeze her feet. Then she jumped again on Gray sending ice from her hands to him. He managed to dodge and to destroy it, then he kneed and put his hands on the ground. Around her feet, green ice was formed and caught her. As she desperately tried to escape and at the same time fight with Natsu, she freezing more and more, until only her head was free. The fire mage hold her by her hair, while she was screaming. His burning hand approached her face, but she was fighting more and more and shouting louder. He had no choice but to punch her, but this time a lot easier. She finally shut up, because the flaming were burning her face. She whimpered easily.

''Call off the curse.'', Natsu said gnashing ominously.

As a reply, she split in his face. Natsu had kept getting his hand closed, but now he just wrapped it around her neck. She screamed so much because of the pain. Lucy was covering her eyes. She felt a tear rolling down her cheek.

''Natsu…'', Gray said lowly like telling him it was enough. He took his hand off her. Her neck was all red. But she was strong. She wouldn't give up so easily. Her angry and mad eyes told them so.

''Call off the curse.'', Natsu said once more calmly.

''NEVER, YOU IDIOT!'', she screamed in his face. Then, with all her power, she freed one on her hands and made a big icicle, with which she tried to kill Natsu, but he broke it from her hand and took it in his. A second later, her target was Gray, so he lost control of his magic, and she was free. Natsu sent a huge flame toward her, but she dodged it and with all her speed, she jumped on Natsu. She took him by surprise, so his reflex was to close his eyes and put his hand forward. He didn't feel anything, but some drops falling on his face and heard along moan of pain. He opened his eyes and realized he was holding her icicle, in which she entered. Her face was horrible. She looked with her trembling, big eyes at him. She had blood all over her mouth and it was still falling. Lowering her head, she looked at her big wound and icicle that was going through her. Natsu looked at her scared and shocked. She dropped the icicle she was holding, but even so, she found the power to speak with a thick voice.

''T-Thousands of men tried to kill me… but no weapon touched my blood… you are sure lucky…'', she said laughing easily, ''…to discover my secret… Fine… let the curse be off…'', she said her voice vanishing easily.

Natsu put her on the ground carefully. She looked at the clearing sky. Then she coughed.

''I am finally getting to see my love…'', she whispered smiling sadly. Natsu didn't know what to say or think. She was pathetic, but one moment ago she was about to kill him. He saw her skin getting so old in just one moment. Her magic was losing its effect. Her beautiful dark blue hair was getting now white. Gray was also watching surprised. This happened so fast and suddenly.

Then her body turned into ice and it broke into millions of pieces, flying along with the wind. The wind, how they all missed it!

They looked around while they were going back down at the village. There were hundreds of men and women, and even children. Everything was going back to normal, and how happy they all were! The view was so beautiful and everyone's eyes were shining with happiness. They were singing, dancing, laughing. It was the perfect picture and it was even happier than the usual atmosphere in The Land of Joy. As they were all going through the joyful crowd, everyone was making profound reverences them. Then, someone screamed:

''Long live the King and the Queen!'', and everyone said so three times.

Gray disappeared, so they were referring to Natsu and Lucy.

''Whaat?'', Natsu said while they were both blushing.

''You saved us, so you are the rulers of this land!'', someone said.

''But they aren't married, so they can't be King and Queen.'', someone else said.

Natsu thought for a moment. He turned to face Lucy and asked her:

''Lucy, do you forgive for everything I've done to you?''

She nodded as if he didn't do anything and smiled.

''Then…'', he said kneeling in front of her and smiling. ''Lucy Hearfillia… will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?''

Everyone kept quiet and Lucy was all red. She didn't know he liked her, she didn't know he loved her! She was so happy. They all held their breaths waiting for her answer. She looked in Natsu's eyes. He was smiling so sweetly and he expressed so much love. She smiled and nodded, then all the people screamed and jumped with joy. But Natsu was the happiest of them all. He stood up, and after all this time, after all he did, after all his tries… he kissed her. This time they both felt a thunder hitting them from the moment their lips touched. And it wasn't just their imagination. Everybody backed up as a white thunder surrounded the two. But they didn't seem to notice.

Lucy hugged him with love. He had his eyes closed, but he opened them in the moment he heard the sweetest voice he could ever imagine.

''I love you. This is all I would want ever to say. This is the only thing I need voice to tell you. I love you.''

Natsu looked at Lucy. She was smiling.

''I don't get it… you …'', he said confused. But his confusion grew when he saw her lips moving. Everyone was watching amazed and shocked. Especially Gray.

''When my father was just married, there was a witch that needed help after an accident she had. He was the only one that was beside her when it happened and he was the only one who was able to help her, but he was afraid of the ones who wanted her dead, so he decided just to run away. She was so angry, that when she saw my mother pregnant, she cursed him that I should be voiceless by the time I would be born to the moment I would have my first true love kiss. This is why from now on I can speak!'', she said so happy, that made Natsu also even more happy, so he kissed her again with love.

After an hour of discussions and laughing, Natsu told his fiancé:

''Lucy, now that the curse is off, come with me to my father's Kingdom and at yours to tell them the good news. And on our way there, everybody should know that The Land of Cry is now The Kingdom of Hope.''

''Are you really going to name it as my grandmother said?'', Gray asked.

''It's the best name. Because this is a new beginning of a new kingdom. I promise, as soon as I get to my kingdom, I will send workers to build up everything.''

''Thank you, Natsu, but I don't think I will stay here any longer. I will be returning to my own Kingdom.''

''No…'', Lucy said snuggling Gray's arm.

''I will miss you all, too, but I have to go. I will especially miss you.'', he said sadly hugging the girl. She raised up on her toes and kissed his nose, as she used to do when he was just a wolf. But it was more difficult now, that he was taller than her.

''No, you are not going anywhere.'', Natsu grinned. ''I have someone I'd like you to meet and you will be waiting right here.''

Gray didn't say anything, but maybe he was thinking of doing as his friend wished.

At The Kingdom of Fire, there wasn't much new. The King was sick of his son's death. His people were trying to cheer him up, but they weren't so happy about this themselves. He was a great prince, and all the Kingdom loved him so much. Especially the ladies. So when a carriage entered the gates, it was stopped by some guards.

''On guard as usual.'', Natsu said proudly to the men. They looked at the shape of the man in the dark a little confused.

''Who are you, sir to say this?''

Natsu raised his head so they can see him in the light of the sun. They saw the pale face of… the prince?! They shook in surprise and said shocked:

''P-Prince Natsu? But how can this b-be? You are dead!''

''I am as alive as you can see. I am pale because I come from a sunless place. Go, my men, go and send the news that your prince is back alive! Spread the news as fast as your strong feet can take you.''

''Y-Yes, sir!'', they said and one of them ran tripping at every step. But you could've seen on their faces that they were happy. The carriage moved on, toward the palace. They were stopped once more, but this time Natsu was wearing a long coat with a big hood, so he wasn't recognized. He got off and face the soldier who trained his javelin at him. He smiled fast and in one moment the soldier was looking at his broken weapon, at his underwear and pulled pants. While this happened, Natsu was long ago gone into the huge building, holding Lucy's hand gently. He whispered he had whished to that for a long time. Then he easily passed some other guards and soon, he was walking toward his father's room.

Once he opened the door, he found the old man resting in his bed and coughing. One look at the table full of medicines and cups of tea, and he hurried to the bed worried. Lucy was waiting outside the room.

''Father…'', Natsu whispered while he kneed beside the man.

Igneel looked at him with angry eyes.

''Who are you and what are you doing I my palace.''

''Tell me, my king, why are you ill?'', Natsu said not daring to look him in the eye.

''I see you have no bad intentions by coming here, so I will answer your questions, but then you will answer mine. I am sick because… well I am sick since a long time ago, and I don't remember well what the reason is.'', said he slowly. ''…Ah…yes…'', he remembered. ''…It was because I lost my son… like one year ago… my beloved son…''

Natsu kept silent.

''Just because he didn't want to marry the most beautiful woman in the whole world, for he wanted to find his friend. ..He went to the most dangerous place in the world after her… There, I answered your question, now you answer mine. Who are you and what are you doing here?''

Natsu felt tears faking down his face.

''I am sorry, my lord. I sinned under your good hands, for you just wanted to assure me a wonderful future. I am so sorry to disappoint you and to put you under this condition.''

''What are you talking about? Do in even know you?''

Natsu hesitated.

''You do seem to remember me, I understand from your words. And I know you. If your highness if willing to try and guess who I might be, I would me more than happy to show myself to you.''

''You know because of your words and action, you were supposed to be in prison ages ago!... But fine, I will play your game, thought I would never do guess if you don't have the kindness to give me a hint.''

''My age is 21 and I am a well-known fire mage.''

''Why if I would have known so many well-known mages, I would have probably guessed by now, but unfortunately, my sickness doesn't allow me to check my people so often, and so I bet many men are now popular fire mages, without me knowing them.''

''Believe me, sire, you know me better than you think. And I am supposed to be dead.''

''If I didn't know you are a man, I would dare to call you my wife, because your words are really similar. You speak as she used to. But of course it is impossible, she is long dead. I saw her dying with my own eyes.'', the old man said coughing.

''But… you didn't see your son dying, right?''

The man froze, and after his shock passed, he spoke sever, but with a scent of happiness in his voice.

''Shame on you, young man! How dare you make your own father so worried and sick! Now come here, so I can give you a hug like old times.''

Natsu threw his coat away and hugged his father with love. The old man laughed and already felt better.

''I missed you, dad.''

''Get outta here! I bet you had so much fun, that you even forgot you had a father. Now seat comfortable, because I can't wait to hear what happened.''

''First, I want you to meet someone.'', Natsu said smiling. He opened the door and the old man saw with curiosity a beautiful young woman entering the room shyly.

''Wha… don't tell me she is the one you were looking after. Lucy Heartfillia, isn't it?''

''Yes, sir… it's a pleasure to see you again.''

''You, young lady, are the reason I am sick!''

''I am sorry, your highness, I didn't intend to make you sick.'', she said blushing.

''Calm down, I was just joking.'', he laughed.

''Father, she will be my wife soon, so please try to love her at least as I do.''

''Your wife? B-But… I planed another marriage for you. Well at least I thought I did, until that little lady played with me life a cat with a mouse…''

''Julie? Why? What did she do?'', Natsu asked his father.

''After you left, she came back to us and started to scream. After a half an hour, we finally managed to calm her down and asked her what happened. She told us a few men were killing each other in the yard, and you went to stop them or something… I don't remember very well… however, we went to look for you, but you were nowhere to be found. Three horses were missing and Julie said she thought you took the two survivors to The Kingdom of Blood, I don't remember why. I think she said they were from that Kingdom, but I am not sure. So a few days we waited without any suspicions, then after a long wile we started asking about you and looking about you. When we received the note from you, we talked to the prince of The Kingdom of Lightening, Laxus Heartfilla. That is when I figured she lied to us, just to make sure you get where you want. I tell you, if she wasn't there, this wonderful young lady wouldn't be standing today here.''

''I didn't know Julie helped me this much…''

''How could you? You were busy having fun fighting beasts!'', he said drinking a cold cup of tea.

''Where can I find her, so I can thank her?''

''There's no need to do that.'', Igneel said smiling while he saw through the window a beautiful woman with raven hair entering the palace fast. ''She seemed to find you first.''

The door opened brutally and a pale Julie looked with her eyes widened at Natsu.

''So it's true…'', she said panting and smiling happily. ''The rumors are true! Prince Natsu really is back!''

''Julie, I am so happy to see you!', Natsu said with gratitude and happiness in his eyes.

She couldn't resist any more, so she jumped in his arms and hugged him.

''You have no idea how worried I was. I am so glad you are alive!''

''Even more than alive, I managed to come back with my goal. This…'', he said looking at Lucy, ''… is my old friend I wanted to find.''

Lucy bowed in front of Julie telling her name and smiling happily, grateful to be part of such a joyful scene of a meeting again. Julie was also so happy to meet Lucy. She was amazed that Natsu actually brought her back, even if for so many years, stronger men failed. After a long talk, the three noticed that the King had fallen asleep, so they went to another room. Natsu suddenly remembered his promise to Gray, so he let the two girls talk while he told a servant fast the story of The Kingdom of Hope and commanded him to send his best men there, while he told all the teachers to change the history of the past Land of Joy, for this was the true one. He had a lot to do now that a lot changed. Once he was done, he met his father again, and after he sent a servant to bring him food, he asked him one more time about the marriage between him and Lucy.

''You have to talk first to her father, the King of the Kingdom of Lightening. Only then, if he is all right to unite our kingdoms, I will also be.''

''About the uniting. I thing we will be the King and Queen of The Kingdom of Hope. Those people need us.''

''What?!'', the man shouted angrily. ''And how about your own kingdom? I need a heir at the throne! Do you think I will choose a King after I won't be from the crowd?''

''You are very wise, father, and I am sure your choice will make the Kingdom proud and happy with a wonderful King.''

''So you agree. Very well, son, but if I will die before I choose one, you will rule two kingdoms.''

Natsu looked at his father surprised, then he smiled.

''Cool!''

''And about your fiancé, you will talk to her father. Today. So if you don't want to sleep over at his place, you better move. ''

''Thank you, father!'', he said bowing and smiling happily. Igneel made a sign with his hand, telling him to get lost. Natsu came out of the room happily. He closed the door slowly and even saluted the servant who was bringing the food to the King.

At the Kingdom of Lightening, the King was amazingly happy to see his daughter, Laxus started to cry, hug and congratulate the two. The king had a few words with Lucy, that took more than an hour, and judging by the way she looked when she came out, Natsu could say she was very happy, that she even cried. He gave them his blessing, and soon, they decided to do the marriage in The Kingdom of Fire, inviting all The Kingdom of Hope and some on the Kingdom of Lightening, then the royal families of all the Kingdoms. The person Natsu wanted Gray to meet was Julie. And they stayed all day long together talking and laughing. Soon, they started to like each other, and everybody was hoping there will be a second wedding soon, but in all the history, there wasn't a wedding like Natsu and Lucy's. Everybody knew the story of The Kingdom of Hope and the heroic things it's King and Queen had done. After his father's death, Natsu ruled The Kingdom of Fire, too and that was huge responsibility, but he still had time for his family, his wife, Lucy, and Alice, their daughter.

And I am happy to have the honor to end my story just like a fairytale, for this is a story with the manga Fairy Tail's characters, Natsu Draganeel and Lucy Hearfilia, as main characters, then Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet (a little), Mira, the spirit Gemini and maybe others (in case you didn't get it by now) :

And they all lived happily ever after…
