Refraction

Light only travels in a straight line, until something forces it to bend and when it does it shatters into to something new, something beautiful.
For Lucy Heartfila, that bend begins the night Natsu's warmth becomes something she isn't ready for, a moment that cracks the path she thought her heart was following.
In the space left behind by the dragon slayer, the light shifts and suddenly Gray stands where she never expected him to be.

But team nastu is sent on a mission to hollow creek, a town cloaked in mystery and a fog that curls through its streets. The mist twists sound, bends emotions and the deeper Lucy walks into its mist, the more she senses something inside her pulling in a new direction.

Is the light she sees through Gray's ice a distortion born from heartbreak or the first time she's seeing him clearly?
In a place where the fog can make things feel uncertain, Lucy must decide which direction to follow
the fire she once trusted, or the refraction that's leading her somewhere new.
