Twenty years ago Lucy Heartfilia was cursed. In the futile attempt to save her best friend, she laid hands on the book of E.N.D. The book was Natsu's lifeline. If the book disappeared, as it was destined to, so would her friend. Lucy couldn't let that happen and wouldn't just stand around to let it. She saw the opportunity and seized, not caring for a second about what it could mean for her own life.
In the end, Lucy saved Natsu. But she couldn't save herself from the curse of the book. The curse was a wretched one, it would isolate her from everyone she loved, for if she stayed the curse would take the life of everyone she loved.
Lucy knowing what the curse had done to people before her, fled, never to return to her home, Fairy Tail, ever again.
When Natsu realised what had happened, how Lucy had saved him and disappeared, he searched high and low to find his best friend. He couldn't bare the thought that she was alone somewhere. As he finally found her, Lucy tried to push him away, she didn't want to hurt him. But Natsu was stubborn. He stayed. Even though staying with her would kill him slowly.
Their friendship blossomed into something else in those mountainous terrains and after a couple of years they had a little baby girl, Nashi.
Another few years passed, and Natsu passed with those years, the curse killing him like cancer. After another couple of years Lucy disappeared again, terrified of slowly taking her own baby girl's life. Nashi's life. Leaving her alone. With the shadows.
This story is about Nashi Dragneel, her adventures and her fight.
Lucy held the picture in her hands, listening to the deafening roar of her opponent. Juvia and Gray lay on the ground behind her, Gray's body thrown over the other girls as if to protect her though both were unconscious. Wendy held an unconscious Charle in her arms, one eye clenched tightly shut as Happy placed one paw on her calf, tears in his eyes. Erza punched the ground angrily as the loud roar of a dragon vibrated through their ears, causing Lucy's shoulder's to prick.
"Please..." She murmured, tears falling from her eyes as the back of the dragon slayer arched, a guttural yell escaping his throat. She jerked her head up, blonde hair fluttering around her shoulder as her chin quivered. "Please! Give me back Natsu! My Natsu! I want the Natsu I know! GIVE ME BACK NATSU OF FAIRY TAIL!!!"
------
Lucy has begun to clean out the old Heartfilia estate. On break from Fairy Tail after the year gap, Lucy has decided to settle down and finally clean out her fathers legacy. Alone in the large house, Lucy is legitimately surprised when Levy and Gray show up at her door with an offer to help.
Things remain normal until a frantic Mirajane bursts into the house with terrible news:
All of the dragon and God slayers from Sabertooth, Fairy Tail and Lamia Scale have fallen victim to a terrible and strange illness.
Racing back to Magnolia, it's soon that the wizards learn that all Slayers throughout Fiore have fallen ill and worsen by the day. All thanks to Master Pierre of the dark guild, Black Enigma and his plans to take over the world with the power of all of the dragon slayers.
And...only two people can save them:
Two certain celestial mages with the combined power of the Twelve Zodiac keys -- Lucy Heartfilia and Yukino Aguria.
