The Dragon's Guardian: Prologue
Summary: Long ago, before Lucy Heartfilia was even born, the council chose her for a task. The council chose her to be the guardian of The Last Dragon Prince. She's trained her whole life for this. Lucy is ready for it. You can even say that she was literally born ready. She's ready for the danger. She's ready for the adventure. But most of all, she's ready to protect Him from the up-coming war between humans, mages and demons.
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! Just the plot I swear!
"I cannot believe that you are leaving."
Lucy Heartfilia paused at her packing. She turned over to see Princess Hisui standing by her open door to her room with her head bent down and Lucy could see tears falling from her dark green eyes. Lucy dropped her favorite white tank top on her suitcase full of other clothes and necessities. She ran towards her best friend ever since they were little, and gave her a tight warm hug.
The two beautiful young women started crying over each other's shoulders. Lucy gently used a hand to run down Hisui's wavy green hair. "We all knew that this day was about to come greenie."
Hisui laughed at Lucy's little nickname for her. When the two of them pulled away, Hisui wiped her eyes with her hands. "I know, I know. It's just that," she hiccupped loudly. "I am really going to miss you."
Lucy smiled kindly at her. She leaned to wipe a tear that was coming down from her friend's cheek with her pinky finger. "You do realize that we have cell phones right? I can FaceTime you every single day!"
Hisui rolled her eyes as she pulled out a pink IPhone from her back pocket and stared at the black screen. "I now know why Father always wanted me to avoid technology. It is really hard to use and I don't like it."
Lucy shook her blonde haired head and laughed at Hisui's cluelessness. "You'll get the hang of it! I promise!"
Hisui scoffed at Lucy's optimistic tone of voice. She watched Lucy zipped her two big pink suitcases and used her strength to pull them down from her bed. Hisui raised a green eyebrow. "You would like me to get Arcadios to help you with those?" she asked, pointing at them. "It looks really heavy for you."
Lucy shook her head fast when she turned back around to pick up her big duffle bag and used a hook to have tied down to her suitcases. "Nope!" she said, pulling on the handles. "That's why they got these."
Hisui nodded her head and tapped her foot. "Can I at least send some guards with you to the port? You are my best friend, and I would hate it if something were to happen to you."
Lucy groaned at her friend's concern for her and laughed. "Hisui! Did you forget that we are celestial wizards?! I don't need guards to protect me you know!"
Hisui put up her hands in defeat and shook her head. "Okay, okay! I see your point." The two of them looked at each other for several moments. Hisui turned her head away slightly away from her. "Just be careful."
Hisui shoulders tensed when she felt Lucy hug her one last time. "Aren't I always careful?"
Hisui cocked her head to the side and scoffed. "Do you really want me to answer that question?"
Lucy huffed, crossed her arms over her big chest, and pouted at her. "No," she muttered. Her eyes started to burn again as she felt tears streaming down her cheeks. "I promise that I will call you when I land and when I find The Prince."
Hisui pointed a finger at her with a smile on her face. "You better. I'll be waiting on that call."
Lucy nodded her head and laughed. "Just please don't sit near the phone all day alright?"
Hisui raised an eyebrow and shrugged her left shoulder. "I make no promises."
Lucy rolled her eyes and looked at Hisui one last time before finally leaving her room. Hisui and Lucy did not speak all the way up until a car pulled up in front of the gate at the castle when the two women gave each other one lasting hug. "Good-bye," Hisui whispered. "I will see you soon."
Lucy cried into Hisui's shoulders as she pulled her friend closer to her. "Yes, yes you will. Thank you for everything."
The two of them pulled back, holding each other with their arms on each of their shoulders and smiled at each other. Hisui nodded at a guard, ordering him silently to help place Lucy's bags into the trunk of a black silk car.
Lucy stepped into the car and a guard closed the door behind her as she quickly rolled down the window with a push of a button and waved frantically as the car drove away.
Lucy kept waving at the disappearing Hisui until she can no longer see the beautiful green headed Princess of Fiore. Lucy stared at the passing trees as the car drove further and further away from the castle.
Lucy closed her eyes tightly and reached into her pocket to pull out a set of keys. She doesn't have much, only ten she counted. She touches each key gently as she looked up at the car window, suddenly feeling nervous. Lucy opened her big brown eyes and took several deep breaths.
She's ready. She was born ready. She's practically made for this. She's ready for the danger. She's ready for the adventure. She's damn sure ready to be the guardian of the last Fire Dragon Prince! Well, whoever he may be, she sure hopes that he is ready for her!
Author's Note: Oh My God! It has been a long while since I even wrote a long chaptered story! I've been wanting to write one, but I always had a writer's block and this is my FIRST ever FT chaptered story ever! Yes, I have written a few one-shots so this IS A HUGE STEP!
What's it about? Its set in modern times. You know, with cars, phones, TVs all that jazz and in my story a war is about to begin but everyone needs one thing; The Last Fire Prince Dragon and that is Natsu Dragneel. They all want to use him because he is VERY powerful (Well duh!) and humans, demons and evil mages, want to use his power for their own purposes. Therefore, the council wants to protect him and chose Lucy as his guardian to guard him to fight with him/ for him if he is ever in danger of being captured or killed. So yea, I don't wanna give TOO much away, but that's the majority of it so far! I am really excited so I hope that you guys can give this story a chance!
PS: I am also looking for a beta reader! So if you are interested, please PM me!
