Fairy of the forest

Guild marks

Lucy POV

Dragons. It always seemed to come back to dragons lately. Good thing that they were joining my court otherwise that would quite literally be impossible to happen. The thoughts running through my mind circling around almost made me dizzy. But it just coming back to a question I truly don't want to ask myself let alone out loud. But the what if's were gonna drive me crazy. I felt heat rush to my face when they entered and re-entered my mind sending my heart to flutter and my stomach twisting in knots.' If I'm lucky it could be the dragon prince'. But the probability of that was to high but at least I had a direction now that they joined. Who would have guessed a fairy and a dragon would be soul mates. I decided to push the thought back till I could truly focus on it later and brought my attention back to my surroundings." So how do you to know each other?" I asked the two boys in front of me. With a soft chuckle from Gray Natsu spoke up. "Met freezer burn on a job with my guildmates it was kinda like meeting an old friend. We just kinda hit off been friends for sometime. Even got him to join the guild with me!" Natsu said all of this while scratching the back of his but what truly caught my attention was when he said he was friends with Gray for sometime. The information surprised me and made fear run down my spine so with a shake hand lifting to my chest and wide eyes I asked a very important question" Does anyone of the dark court know about this friendship?" Knowing Gray he wouldn't just befriend a bad person so trusting his judgement as he was the one with more people skills then I they looked taken back at the question when I heard a scoff come from Natsu. "Like they could have followed me without my knowledge. Look princess I know this may be the first time you've met a dragon but we are exceptional trackers and nothing gets passed our noses Gray would only come out after I gave the signal it was clear. Honestly I thought you would be worried about the whole former dark court member befriending a light court member and a high one considering he's here and talking to you without the whole bowing schtick." I looked at him confused but waved it off. "Prince Natsu you seem to forget one important detail." That sentence alone seemed to make his smile face from his face as he looked at her with what looked to be fear that made her heart clench . "I answer to me people they don't answer to me. I work for them and their happiness so the people know that their Inez's in charge so theirs no bowing I don't hold myself above them so they are respected as show me the same respect and trust that I have placed in their hands. But your father did mention you joined a human guild, that seems interesting to hear considering who you were affiliated with beforehand. So please do tell do they know what you are? What is it like?" Natsu looked at her quizzically surprised by what she had said, though he shouldn't be considering he himself had already mentioned. Though it might have to do with dragonkin have a tendency to be completely honest, sometimes to honest in truth, that they saw reason to lie and muddle things. She knew that much at least about them if the stories were to believed, and in this case, she truly did believe them."Well, you see after my grandfather passed and my father refused to take the oath of servitude it gave me the opportunity to fight back against the dark court in hopes of keeping my little safe. I couldn't do anything outright against them or my kin would suffer but I could help put an end to some of their plans through that means."With that, a chuckle escaped his lips that sent pleasant shivers throughout lucy's body making her feel hot all over."It sure as hell got their panties in a wad when they couldn't figure out who was behind the unraveling of their plans gave me a couple of chuckles and just boosted my efforts.No one seems to be careful with their words when they see you less then what you are, always make for fatal mistakes."This made her laugh heartily which made the prince and fellow princess grin widely at her."I suppose it does, doesn't it? Why such a brilliant plan though I must say I am sorry that you won't be able to spy on them any further. I would hate to have a war on my hands but I do hope that you keep up the good work on that front. The more good we can spread the more we can help the people we cherish. And nothing is more important to me than that. Though I wish could be as free as you Prince Natsu, but sadly I'm restricted here until I become queen. But enough of such talk we must prepare for the celebration, I do hope you will be joining us Gray and Juvia?"With that said she saw too hard nods of affirmation from the two as she grabbed Wendy's hand while walking back to her own rooms ready to have such a girly day with the young princess. If she had to ask her opportunities do such things were something that was a miss for her and she was going to take the chance to spoil her a bit with some girl time. the thought brought a smile to her face making a tear slide down her face that didn't escape the dragon prince behind her but he didn't seem to intent to find out why and just kept a steady eye on his sister."So what kinds of dresses do you like my little princess?Frilly perhaps?Maybe something with a nice flow to it? And we must do something with your hair they just make your eyes pop! Come little one!"As passing levy in the hall I decided to pull her to the side and ask if she wouldn't mind fetching Erza and to bring her famous cake with her to my rooms and then to bring herself because I refused to be the only fairy to have this kind of experience for her it was a once in a lifetime chance and she wanted her friends to see what she saw and hope that she wasn't making a mistake when coming to this decision but whatever happens good or bad will happen regardless of her intentions.When they finally arrived and started to play human music as I sat on my bed I directed to my clothes and told her to go nuts what she did almost brought me to tears and squeeze her to me protectively, something I will never forget for the rest of my eternity."But are you sure?You're a fairy I'm just a dragonkin I don't want to disrespect you after all that you have done.Wearing a fairies clothes is looked down upon isn't it?"Whoever filled this child's head with nonsense needs to be taught what truly proper.I almost scoffed at the notion and just simply put myself at her level lowering my head before her."I'm truly sorry that you weren't taught what is truly proper and shown kindness my little one but while you are within my care I do hope that you trust me when I say you deserve every happiness and I simply want to be one of the ones to give that to you. Trust me when I saw you are welcomed here in my rooms for dress up whenever you desire and I will happily be by your side on your path. Know that you will always have the full support of the light court and its queen at your every disposal my sweet princess, I shall do for you that others have failed to do in the past.You have such a wonderful family and a beautiful smile that my greatest wish is for you to be safe and happy. Such a young dragon to have such pains. The fairies before me are a disgrace to our lineage and I will show you what truly matters to our kind."With that, I held her to myself fighting, and losing, the battle to hold my tears back. Her story that is still untold left me shaking with fury as well as a deep-seated sadness when I saw in the corner of my eye a hand touch down on her head and dark onyx eyes bore into my soul as if judging my actions, though who could blame him he had to stay on guard over his sister for only the gods knew how long but not anymore will he have to carry this burden they were in a safe place and I would personally hurt anyone who laid a single finger on this most precious dragon. I looked at him with a fire burning beneath my skin and in my soul that shined through my eyes and gave a curt nod to show that I truly meant to keep her safe. But I had no intention of keeping her under my thumb. The idea of keeping this little one from all the wonders the world had to give way to much of an insult, she was a dragon she was literally born to fly free with her kin. When the sight of red caught my eye but i couldn't make the symbol as I pulled back from the young princess and pulled her within my wardrobe and started to help pick out dress I think would fit her and summoned one of my celestial spirits to help with the hair and makeup as a knock came before answering levy stepped through the door and smiled holding the cake I requested.She explained the Erza was unavailable at the moment due to some meeting in her realm and that she would be meeting us at the location that Gray happily supplied.Though I thought it was strange she used Ezra's title rather than her name but shrugged it off as I started to have so much fun dressing up the little dragon as we finished and compliments were given to each of us natsu got changed in the bathroom and we prepared to leave for the party with butterflies fluttering my stomach i looked at my compaigns as we all released our wings and took off to the sky as the sun started to set.
