The Mate That Was Not Loved (NaLu Fanfic)

Chapter 1- A Mysterious Book

Initially I was invited to the library with Levy McGarden. Now it's night time and I'm still looking for a good book. Levy already found her book, so I told her to simply go home and leave me. Now I'm helplessly wondering the humungous Magnolia Library, looking for a book to read. To be exact I was right at the back of the library. "-sigh- Maybe I should just give up and come back tomorrow."

Just as I was about to turn away back towards the entrance, something intriguing caught my shining eyes. I immediately shone the candle light towards the area. "Huh?" It was actually a door in the surface of the wall. From where I was it was extremely difficult to see the encarved door, but coming closer I found it was still hard to see.

Alike to the library itself, the opaque door blended in with the dusty walls surrounding it. With a single blow the dust escaped the surface and a bunch of words became visible; encarved to the door itself. "What the?" I asked at a loss for words. The words read: Forbidden Sector of The Library. Do not enter if you don't like adventure, history and enticing books!

Surprised at the weird warning sign, I slightly pushed the door open. Instantaneously, the creaking of the door echoed throughout the library. It was really eerie and I felt so alone. Of course there was the librarian, but he would still be at his desk busily sorting out books, so it felt as if I was the only being in the entire Library.

"How weird." I implied as I strode in through the door. It was huge; like another library altogether. "This is crazy!" I cooed.

I began striding the halls in search of a good book. There were so many, it was crazy! There were books of Fairies and Forbidden Magics; Books of legends and The secret geography of Earth land. It was magnificent! Though there were interesting books on The Ancient Art of Celestial Magic, one book caught my eye in particular.

It was labeled:   The Dragon Chronicles

It seemed ancient: with a dusty cover, a golden font title, italic-cursive writing throughout the book and yellow pages. I just had to read it. However it seemed extremely late, so I decided to just make my own seat in the corridor of books. Surrounded by millions of books I shaped out a comfortable placement and sat to read. As quick as lightning I submerged myself into the book.

The Dragon Chronicles, Year x391
I have been studying the dragons intensively for these past years and I've learned many such things. I learned the magical powers of a dragon, I learned how they sleep, how they talk, how they communicate, how they eat. Everything. But there's one thing I've learnt that may be forever unknown to mankind. A deep secret the dragon race has kept to themselves for hundreds of years.

The secret of The Marked Ones            Love              Marked Ones       Deception                             Blossoms        Heartbreak                            New.

The book's pages were fading away, so that's all I got from the next couple of pages. Anything else the old geaser speaks about is his love for cheese and some pretty "detailed" drawings of his female neighbour's & mistresses. "Eww." I cringed just thinking of it. There were other pages though... With valuable information. Like how to converse with stubborn dragons, how to tell a dragon's lying, deception, how to heal a broken heart, how to make a dragon fall in love with you, how to attract a dragon, how to call a dragron, side effects of becoming a mate, what help a dragons scales are and millions of other things. Unfortunately, nothing seemed interesting at all. As I flicked through the pages, I was shocked to see some visible writing on the last page and the date too.

The Dragon Chronicles, Year x465
I've become quite sick and my 8th wife has left me already... After we got married only 2 weeks ago. To be honest it wasn't surprising after all I may be older than I used to be. I only have the dragon's left now and even then many dragons are unsociable. Anyway, I've decided as my life is coming to an end and I am no one famous or such, that it should be alright to tell all of my life's work on this sheet of paper. Now to tell of The Marked Ones.

Rumours tell of a secret among Dragons; just one of the many prophesies. The secret of The Marked Ones.When the magical day comes and a Dragon tells himself he's in love, it is told the dragon will mark their loved one. The marked one is then bound to the love of their Dragon. But of course, as tales have told, the dragon is not always right. A dragon Amy choose a mate out of confusion but it doesn't mean he's got the right mate.
Legend has it the two are suppose to be meant for one another...

These words echoed in my mind as my sight became hazy and my head began to hurt. "What's happening?" I asked myself. I was never really tired before and I don't feel sick. I read on.

But it is destined, in a time when Earthland is settled into peace and magic is abundant this balance of LOVE will be pushed to the limits.
Tales tell of a Dragon confused of his mate. It tells of a marked one who is pushed away from her betrothed. It speaks of Fairies...

Warning-
Becoming a mate comes with several side effects. Side effects include: Irresistible charm towards other beings, pain comes to the marked one if their dragon loves another e.c.t ....

My head began spinning and my eyes slowly closed. Suddenly everything went black and sleep overcame me. "Good night Lucy." Echoed a familiar voice as I slowly fell unconscious to the ground.
