The Unwritten Destiny of a Dragon

Chapter Eight: Adventures

Golden rays hit the blondes eyes, waking up at the crack of dawn was not pleasant, let me tell you that. Lucy slowly got up and slipped on her green shin length dress and blue flats. Making her way outside the small room she trailed quietly down the hallway so she didn't wake up the dragon hybrid that slept next door.

She made it out of the inn and walked around town watching the merchants set up stools and stores opening, it was her first time in a place like Hargeon. Hargeon is a large port town, located in the south part of Fiore, near Magnolia which is were they where going next. She passed by a lively restaurant called 8-island and decided that's were she would get lunch, if they would stay for a bit, she passed many different places, a park, restaurants, a expensive grocers and a train station.

She took a sharp left going down a small alleyway, soon coming out to a lively street market, she walked towards the stalls pick various things, buying fruit, milk, butter, vegetables, different meats, protein like eggs, and more, she was having a lot of fun. She went towards the end of the street slightly disappointed that her binge shopping had ended. Looking up toward the the clouds she noticed the sun directly above her indicating that it was a bit past noon, what happened next? She panicked.

Lucy's POV

Oh shiiiiiiiiiit! He's probably so worried, I can't believe I'm such an idiot, I thought I would of been back by now. I was panicking and my anxiety when through the roof, I picked up my pace frantically looking around, CRAP I don't know how to get back my breath got short and I squatted down rapping my hands around my legs and shaking. No one took notice of me, all I got were scowls from the on goers, I was in a dilemma and they all where being assholes.

I was about to admit fate and know that I couldn't find my way back until I heard a soothing voice. "You shouldn't be in the middle of the path yah know?" He voice was sharp but soothing, I looked up seeing a slim, yet muscular, toned young man of average height with spiky blond hair, which is kept in strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal cowlick of hair partially hanging over his forehead. He has slanted, slit pupiled, dark blue eyes; Above the right one is a thin, diagonal scar. His left ear is adorned with an earring which, in itself, is attached to by a prominent metal pendant that is crystalline in shape.

The man dons a blue vest with golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of gray fur that appears similar to a feather boa over a short, cream top, leaving his muscular upper abdominals exposed. His arms are covered by dark blue gloves reaching up to his mid-bicep, with their upper edges being adorned by light gray bands hanging down several centimeters.

He wears loose, cream-colored pants, similar to Natsu's, but held up by suspenders, which attach to the belt by square-shaped rings that are gold. Over them, he dons distinctive dark blue galosh-esque footwear that reaches up to his thighs and attach to the upper edge of his pants.

But what I notice most of all was his tattoo on his left shoulder, I was shaped like some kind of cat-like-animal.

"Ummmm Miss are you ok?" I shook myself out of my gaze and locked my eyes on the mysterious man's tattoo, "y-yes I'm oh-o-ok" I stuttered, "shit sorry for not introducing myself, I'm Sting Eucliffe" he spoke then followed my eyes to his shoulder, "oh and this tattoo is a guild mark, I'm from Sabertooth" by the way he said the name he was obviously very proud of being in the guild 'Sabertooth'.

"I'm Lucy,Lucy Heart....." I stoped myself, "Lucy Heart I like that" he winked at me causing a blush to appear, "Ummm Mr Eucliffe, could you please help me find something?" I asked as politely as possible. "Please don't call me 'Mr Euciffe' it makes me sound old, just call me Sting cause we're friends now ok!" He chuckled grabbing my hand pulling me up, "ok!" I smiled.
