In the Cave – Dragon Realm

Acnologias' P.O.V

I woke up, still feeling tired but not able to sleep any longer. I hated that kind of mornings. I blinked a few times to clear both my vision and my mind. I looked down at the girl that seemed so tiny and vulnerable when I was in my Dragon form. She was still sleeping so it was probably still early in the morning. Her training was probably much tougher than mine, if her clothes were anything to go by. Well, it wasn't exactly the most appropriate clothing she'd chosen, but even then I wondered what could have made that big hole on her stomach. Had she been taking hits, so she would have a better resistance and stamina when she was in close combat? Or was it for some completely other reason? Had a Sky Dragon healed her? I guessed it was Grandine, since only she could heal someone so perfectly and without leaving even the smallest indication of a scratch behind. She also was the only Sky Dragon who knew about Lucy, so it really couldn't be anyone else.

But then that made me wonder why Grandine would even be necessary. It made me wonder how battered Lucy had been.

I moved my tail closer to her, as if that could prevent her from going out again. It wouldn't though, Lucy was too determined to get stronger and why would I stop her? It was a choice she had made even before we reunited.

The desire to get stronger lay way back, actually. She'd wanted to be strong mage of Fairy Tail as soon as she had heard about them.

Acnologias' memory – Seven years ago

Acnologias' P.O.V

"Look Acnologia, it's Fairy Tail!" A little blonde girl with golden hair and warm, brown eyes said and pointed at the Lacrima TV. It was one of those commercials about the guilds, as the humans called it, which should make you want to join the different guilds.

I'd learned that the Fairy Tail guild was Lucy's' favorite. It was also the strongest guild around. And most destructive.

I nodded and smiled at the girl. "Yeah, I can see it. It's your favorite, right?" I asked rhetorically. We'd only know each other for a day and she'd told me that a million times already.

"Yeah! I wanna join one day and then I'll be as strong as Natsu and Erza! Stronger than both of them together!" She said excitedly and acting as if she had a sword in her hand like the red-head, Erza, I believed. She switched to a more serious expression, imitating Erza in the TV and pointed her non-existent sword at the TV, just as the red-head did. "Fairy Tail is a place for everyone. Come join today." She said, mimicking Erzas' posture, expression and voice perfectly.

I chuckled at my little friend. She'd watched that commercial too many times. And so had I.

First time I saw it yesterday, I was surprised by how young they all seemed. Lucy had told me that the youngsters, which had been shown, were the 'new generation' and that no one would come if they only showed the old farts. I had laughed at those words, but agreed, it probably wasn't old people they wanted to attract.

Lucy quickly grabbed my hand with her tiny one and pulled me out of my, towards the door. "Come on Acnologia, we're going to play Fairy Tail!" She said happily and with a beaming smile over her shoulder. Then she focused on pulling me after her again.
