Seven years ago, all the dragons disappeared. Aria had never known her real family, but the old dragon that took her in and taught her magic, was the only one she'd ever think of as family. Hopping from town to town, Aria never really felt at home w...

Seven years. Seven years, I've been running around Fiore looking for my mother. I decided to go to Hargeon on a rumor I'd heard in the last town I was in. Apparently, someone by the name of Salamander there, and he was rumored to be a dragon. I yawned tiredly as I entered the city. Distant screaming from the middle of the town caught my attention. Although, what the cause, was strange enough, just some dude with--
My heart went wild as I gazed at the man in the middle of the large crowd of women vying for his attention. His hair was so silky and dark, and his eyes- oh my goodness- they were so kindhearted. "Salamander!" The women around me chanted excitedly. My body thrummed in anticipation as his name sent shivers down my spine. I loved it. Salamander. It sounded so romantic~
"Igneel!" I hear a voice, and it was as if someone dumped cold water over my head. I shook my head quickly and rubbed my eyes.
"What the hell?" I wonder aloud. A boy had shoved a blonde girl besides me to the side and brushed past me. The smell of a campfire wafted up to my nose, and it felt comforting. That's then I noticed the ring on Salamander's finger. "Seriously?" I sigh heavily.
"Get out of my way, fire hair, I want to see him!" The blonde girl bellows.
"I wouldn't count your chickens yet," I mention. "He's wearing a love charm."
She immediately snaps out of it, and blinks rapidly. "Oh, thanks..." She sighed and rubbed her eyes slowly.
"Don't thank me. It was what's his face over there," I jut my thumb over to the boy agitating Salamander.
At the snap of Salamander's fingers, the girls around us threw a riot and chased after the pink haired boy. Salamander had taken his chance to leave. "What did he do?" The blonde girl asks curiously.
"No clue." I hum and trail away from her.
"Hey! I'm Lucy!" She exclaimed as she caught up to me. "Wanna go find that guy? We should thank him, don't you think?"
I gazed at her for a long moment. "Yeah, I guess." I respond slowly with a shrug of my shoulders. "I'm Aria. Nice to meet you." I better be polite. If she's thanking him too, she might be offering food I can probably bum off. It's been a good couple of days since I've eaten.
The pink haired boy is sitting on the ground in a dark alleyway, trashcan overturned on his head. He's got a small blue cat with him, hovering close by on a set of narrow, white wings. It's laughing at him.
As we approached the two, they didn't take notice until we were gazing down at them. "I said I was sorry! That Salamander guy's the best!" He shouted, his tone conveying both fright and annoyance.
"We're not gonna murder you," I hum coolly. "He was using a charm, and your screaming made me realize that." I mention as I kneel down slightly. I extend my hand towards him. "Thank you, by the way."
