Lucy Heartfilia is the blond, brown-eyed, Strawberry-scented Celestial Wizard of the Fairytail Guild. Kind and smart and maybe a bit too trusting, she is a part of Team Natsu - a group made of her best friends.
~☆~
Ever since Lisanna returned from Edolas the guild seemed to be ignoring Lucy. All the people she used to talk and interact with seemed to have forgotten about her existence. At first, Lucy assumes that it's because they haven't seen Lisanna for a long time but when even her teammates start to forget about her, she wonders if they all just thought of her as Lisanna's replacement. Luckily for her, not everyone treats her like that and some still treat her as a friend. Still, she feels that empty void in her heart and starts to ponder on the thought that soon even those that treat her like a friend, would forget her.
~☆~
Seven years later, the Tenrou Team is free from the stasis of the 1st Master's spell. They return to meet a completely different world from which they knew and Lucy hopes that they would all go through this together, only to be sorely mistaken. The guild wants to work their way back to the top and claim they can't because the Tenrou Team is seven years weaker than the rest of them. Not only that, they accused Lucy of being even weaker and insinuate that she is worthless. Soon after this, she is kicked out of the team and replaced with Lisanna of all people. The guild starts to mistreat her and she starts to consider leaving the guild.
~☆~
As Lucy deals with the new resentment of her guild, she unlocks a secret that that had to do with her mother and her magic as well as the darkness that follows with it. She is introduced to new people and new friends as she follows the steps that have been laid out for her. As the guild's treatment worsens, her resolve strengthens and the determination to prove them wrong shines like the golden sun.

What is waiting for Lucy in this new adventure?

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.
