Lucy's POV---A week earlier

I got on Celestia's back with Lux and Nox. "Umm... What do I hold on to?" I asked. Everything was smooth; no way could I get a good grip on it.

"Oh, we nearly forgot-"

"-The most important part" They giggled.

Out of nowhere a stream of white light, with gold running through it came out of Lux's hand; and a stream of black light with dark gray running through it came out of Nox's. They wrapped their arms around my waist while the streams of light acted like whips and wound themselves around Celestia's neck.

They grabbed the ends of them with their free hands and held on tight. "Perfecto!" they exclaimed laughing at my bewildered face.

"That was awesome." I said.

"Yep! Do you get motion sick?" Lux asked me.

"Nooooooo...." I said uncertainly. Nox let out a sigh and smiled "That's a relief!"

With that we took off. FLYING IS SO COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! I looked down to see a lot of creatures I have never seen before on each of the islands.

We finally came to the biggest of all of them. On the island sat a large mansion. "Whoa." I breathed in disbelief.

The mansion was 6 stories high with a window in every room. As we flew near it I could see a large pool, with a high and low dive, that were connected; it also has a tall water slide snaking up about two or three stories.

There was a huge hedge maze behind the pool with a beautiful ark decorated with roses signaling that was the entrance. In the middle of the maze there was a field of flowers and a patch of healthy green grass. There were trees surrounding it with bright pink cherry blossoms sprouting from their branches.

We landed in front of the house losing the beautiful view only to be greeted with a new one. There were intricate flower gardens and perfectly trimmed hedges. There was a stone pathway leading up to the entrance. A fountain stood in the middle of the path with lotus flowers floating in the water.

The front door was grand. It was made of dark oak wood with two golden knockers on the front.

"What is this place?" I asked in awe as we climbed off Celestia's back. She dawned her human form to answer my question.

"It's where you shall live. This is your new home." I looked back at her to see a happy smile on her lips.

"Wait... So I'm going to live here?"

"If you want to stay, then yes."

"Am I the only one or..?"

"Oh!" She clapped her hands together before continuing "Yes. Lux, Nox, Misty, Blu, and Jack. You'll be training with them too, so try to get along."

"Who are Misty, Blu, and Jack? Are they dragons too?"

"No dear, those three are human. They were all orphaned when they were younger and we took them in. It's the same for Lux and Nox as well."

"Oh..." I mumbled. I looked to my side to see the girls were gone. "Where are they anyway?"

"Probably inside already." She chuckled. "Come on. You still need a tour."

We walked through the large doors to be greeted by a huge entrance way. There were two curved spiral stair cases that led to one landing, and a giant diamond chandelier was hanging from the ceiling. The floors were a beautiful dark wood that fit perfectly with the cream colored walls. There were arches and doorways leading to other rooms, and hallways.

We went up one of the staircases and walked through the arch leading to another hallway. When we went in I saw that doors lined the hallway, which had beautiful paintings strewn across the walls.

Some of the doors had decorations on them and I couldn't help but stare as we silently walked past them. We came to another staircase and repeated the process, and again, and again, and again. Finally we made it to the top floor which had one door. It was pure white and looked freshly painted.

Celestia opened the door and I gasped at the sight. The walls were painted a beautiful teal deep blue, the ceiling a pure white. There was a grand king sized bed with white sheets and beautiful designs sewn in to creating indents; the sheet underneath was a light baby blue and was folded back to reveal the beautiful colored sheets. The back of the bed was a white wood with intricate flower designs running up and down the legs and base.

The floor was a light colored wood with a large mint green and baby blue rug that covered up the majority of it. One of the windows had bookshelves on either side both so full of books that there were some resting on top. In between the bookshelves and in front of the window there was a small seat whit an open back. It was white (A/N I know there is a lot of white but it was really pretty in my head) with dark almost black wood as the legs. Both sides that were resting on the bookshelves were elevated with the same white material with two baby blue pillows resting against it. Two silk like mint green curtains were pulled back to reveal the gorgeous view outside.

On the other side there was a walk in closet; one wall was chock full of everything from fancy dresses to casual T-shirts, hoodies, and sweats. The other was full of shoes from heels to, boots to, sneakers, even like 8 pairs of flip-flops!! That was a little ridiculous. I mean when will I ever wear all of that?!?

I looked further in to see a HUGE vanity. It was covered in every make-up imaginable and when I looked closer I saw all of them would go perfectly with my skin tone. I opened one of the drawers to see hair accessories lined in a neat color coded order. The one next to it held even more, and the next. The fourth drawer I opened was full of headbands all plain and simple. Some had prongs to hold my hair back while others didn't. The next drawer held hair ties from the thin rubber bands to huge scrunchies. The final two drawers held all kinds of jewelry.

I walked backwards out of the closet and saw another door! Dear god! I'm gonna get so freakin lost... IN MY OWN ROOM!!!

When I opened the door I saw a gigantic bathroom. There was a fancy shower in one corner with shelves full of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Next to the door was a toilet with baby wipes and toilet paper, nothing special. Across the room there was a counter with a big mirror behind it. I nearly burst out laughing at the dumb expression on my face.

But what really caught my eye was the giant tub. It was elevated and in a little nook of the bathroom. There were scented candles on the corners, unlit of course. Shelves were to the side of it with ridiculous amounts of rose petals, bath salts, scented bath liquid things, and MORE SCENTED CANDELS!!! So, basically every luxury that involved taking a bath imaginable.

I turned to see Celestia with a mildly amused smirk on her face as she looked at me. "Do you like it?" She asked confidently. Okay this is kinda evil but I'm gonna mess with her.

"No" I said as I watched her face visibly fall, and I put on a mocking stern face. "I don't like it..." She looked like she was about to say something so I held up my hand. "I don't like it... I LOVE IT!!! OH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!!" She brightened up at this, and my ridiculous face I was making now, she seemed pretty satisfied with this.

"One question though..." I continued "When will I ever wear all those clothes, and shoes. Even the accessories! I'd need to live like 6 lifetimes to wear half of them!" She smiled at my exasperated expression.

"Well you probably never will be able to wear them all. But we didn't know what your preferred style was so we have everything just in case." I felt satisfied with her answer and turned around. Quickly, I admired the bathroom one last time before turning around and walking back into the bedroom section.

As I walked in I noticed something I hadn't before. A writing desk. I let out a content sigh. "This. Is. Officially. Heaven." I muttered to myself as I walked over to the pure white desk.

"This is amazing!! Thank you so much Celestia!" I cried happily and hugged her. I could tell I had surprised her, with the fact she stiffened a little.

Suddenly I felt something wet fall on my shoulder. I pushed Celestia away and held her at arm's length. "You're so much like your mother." She said through her tears. I felt my eyes water up as well and hugged her tightly.

She misses my mother. Just as much as I do, maybe even more. She knew my mother. They were liked sisters. Here is someone I could relate to. Someone who definitely understood my pain.

We stayed like that for a few more minutes until she pulled away and wiped her tears. "Well" she said a bit more confidently "You must meet the others. Do you want me to get the twins to help you?" She asked.

"No I'll be fine on my own. I think I need a little alone time to process all of this."

"Okay. It's going to be formal so try to dress up a little. If you need any help, just call for one of us, okay?"

"Okay... Thanks Celestia." I gave her a soft smile as she left the room, closing the door behind her.

"Yes! Pampering time!" I shrieked happily. "Okay let's do this."

I walked back into the bathroom and closed the door. Quickly I made my way over to the shower. I ended up taking a short, hot shower to wash my hair. Nothing special. I wrapped myself in a towel and walked on the cold tile floor to take a bath.

I went through the jars on the shelves while the bath filled with steaming water behind me. When it was full I turned off the faucets and continued my browsing. I ended up using some rose petals and Japanese Cherry Blossom scented bath liquid things (A/N If someone can tell me what the bath water liquid things are called that would be helpful. I'm talking about something like that stuff Moka uses in Rosaria + Vampire. The stuff she has to poor in water before she takes a bath. Thanks). I lit the candles on the edge of the tub. Mmmmm... Vanilla, my favorite.

I soaked in the water for at least a half hour. When I finally got out I wrapped my somehow still wet hair in a different towel and put on a bathrobe. I walked out of the bathroom and into the giant closet. I picked out, a pale pink, strapless dress that hugged my body until it flared out my waist, and changed in to a hot pink at the ends. I picked out a pair of pale pink heels that were slightly elevated in the front. I put on the dress and put the shoes beside my bed; I put the robe back on over the dress and sat down at my vanity. I was in a very pink mood in case you couldn't tell, and it didn't help that I found hot pink nail polish with magic on it so it dried a few seconds after being applied. Handy.

Then I started to apply my makeup. I put on a lipstick that was only a shade or two darker than my natural lip shade. For my eyes I put on a mascara to make my lashes look longer and thicker, as for eye shadow I used a pale lilac color on my lid and a darker purple on the crease and blended them together. Perfect.

Now for my hair. I let my hair out of the towel and dried it using the hairdryer that was conveniently placed next to me. I used the curling iron that also seemed to appear out of nowhere to put in loose curls. All in all I looked really pretty. As I looked in the mirror I moved my hands to cover my arms the best they could.

The scars look like bad tattoos that danced across my skin. The pale white and fresh pink flesh showing they were, in fact, scars. They were slightly raised and completely gruesome. Even though my dress covered most of it, I still felt ashamed. Sometimes my mind tricked itself into thinking that it wasn't me, that it was a painting. Then I'd move my hand and the reflection would too. Showing me the nightmare was true.

Multiple pieces of my flesh were dyed different colors. Ranging from a sickly green to a terrible brown. I moved a piece of hair behind my left ear to reveal the missing tip. The rim dyed an icy blue to show the permanent reminder on my skin, of frostbite.

I felt my eyes tear up. I was burnt, bruised, bloody, and at deaths door multiple times. But the scars I saw weren't the worst. They would heal. Leave behind traces that I could easily cover. But the scars on my heart will remain until the end of time. Nothing can heal those. I took a final look in the mirror at my disgusting body. The lines of scars coming together to form an almost rose shape on my chest above my breasts. This night mare will never end. It is just the beginning.

I tore my eyes away from my body. I would bare these scars proudly. To show I was no longer the scared and helpless girl I used to be. Now I'm strong, I can protect myself.

I walked out of my room and made my way down the stairs. My scars displayed with pride. I can't be weak. I'm not weak... I'm a Queen now.

I walked down the stairs and made my way to the grand ballroom/hall. What? She gave me a tour and I remembered. Not. I got lost like six times. Yep. I'm a fail.

As I got closer I could hear music and a lot of voices. Everyone inside seemed to go quite as I got closer and closer.

"Please welcome, her majesty. Lucy Heartfilia." I entered the room as the huge double doors opened before me and I walked down the aisle. Tables with white tablecloths and a candle in the center surrounded with rose petals. What is with this place and rose petals?! I felt all eyes on me as I approached Celestia, She was wearing a white dress with multi-colored stars going from the bottom and slowly shrinking towards the top. She was wearing baby blue ballet flats as shoes, her white blond hair put in an intricate up do. She was beautiful.

She took my hand and sat me down in the throne like chair behind her, She placed a simple silver tiara on my head, and whispered in my ear "It was your mothers" She then straightened up before I could reply and started a speech.

"The death of Layla Heartfilia was very unfortunate and saddening. Since that day the realm has been more broken than ever. Desperate attempts to retrieve and train her only living descendant, Lucy Heartfilia, all failed until today. We followed her final wish and waited. Now, she is 17 and she can be trained. All bow down to our new queen, friend, and most importantly family..." at this she looked at my astonished face and smiled. "Lucy Heartfilia!"

The hall burst out into applause, and I felt tears blur my vision. Thank god for waterproof makeup! All heads bowed down respectively in my direction, and I recognized the top of Lux and Nox's heads.

Celestia grasped my hand once again and lead me to the base of the thrones stand and stepped to the side. Before I could say anything Lux and Nox hugged me quickly whispered a quick "you're beautiful" and scurried off.

Next came up buff a man, He had black hair and eyes, and many piercings. "I am Metalicana, the iron dragon. I understand you met my arrogant son. I am proud of him staying by your side." I smiled at him "Your son is a wonderful man. I'm glad I can call him my friend." He smiled at this bowed and quickly strode off. But not before I could see the tears in his eyes.

Next came up a wizened middle aged woman with light purple hair and yellow highlights. Her brown eyes showed nothing but kindness. "Hello, I am Grandeeney, the wind dragon. Thank you for caring for my daughter. She likes to act tough but she is actually very fragile. Thank you for helping to keep her safe." I gave a small smile, and felt a twinge of guilt for not telling Wendy I was alright. "Honestly, she has been helping me a great bit more. You raised her well." She bowed her head respectively and walked off. A ghost of a smile on her lips.

The next person to come up was another man. He looked young with many battle scars and flaming red hair. His onyx eyes painfully familiar. "Hello, I am Igneel, the fire dragon. I am sorry for the way my son treated you. But if he treats you the same ever again, the next time I see him I will discipline him." I smiled at this. "Thank you. But I do not blame you. I know that you and I will get along grandly." He smiled, whispered a "Thank you" and shuffled away.

Next was a girl who looked around 15. She was very pale, and had white hair with a bluish tint to it. It was short in the back and chin length in the front. She had a off the shoulder, pale blue dress with real snowflakes decorating the waist and single sleeve. Her feet were bare. Piercing icy blue eyes met my chocolate brown ones. "I'm Blu Frost, it's nice to meet you, I hope we can be friends."

She moved a little to the side to reveal a boy the same age as me. His eyes, skin, and hair color the exact same as hers. His hair was messy and untamed as he looked at me. He was wearing a light blue button up dress shirt and white dress pants with a brown belt. His feet were bare as well "I'm Jack Frost, It's nice to meet you." He gave a cute toothy grin and a faint pink blush grazed my cheeks. "Hello it's nice to meet the two of you" I gave them a small smile and the waved back as they moved out of the way.

HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE THERE?!?!?!

A girl around my age maybe a year younger smiled up at me. She had dark purple hair, and pale jade green eyes, freckles spotted her nose and cheeks. "It's nice to meet you! I hope we get along! I'm Misty Corneal by the way!" she seemed very hyper and nice. "I hope so too Misty" I said. As she jumped up and down from excitement I admired her light green dress that fit her tightly until her mid stomach where it flared out down to her knees. She skipped away smiling widely.

Next was a young woman with dark blue hair and violet eyes. Her skin was slightly tanned as a warm smile decorated her face. "Hello, I am Mizu, the water dragon. I will be training you. I hope we get along." She bowed her head slightly and moved to the side.

Next was a man with golden hair and eyes, his hair turning white. He was an old man whose eyes showed much wisdom. "I am Jikan, the dragon of time. I hope we get along well young lady. Your mother was a wonderful woman."

The next person was once again a man. He had brown hair and eyes. He was young and had a childish air about him. "I am Jimen, The dragon of the earth. I hope to get to know you well."

The next person was a beautiful woman. She was young with Irish green hair and eyes. "I am Shizen, dragon of nature nice to meet you my queen."

The next person was a woman with pure white hair and eyes. The eyes even though were inhuman were very soft and gentle. "I am Aisu, It is nice to meet you. You look just like your mother."

The final person was a woman; she had bubblegum pink hair and hazel eyes. "I am Yume, the dragon of sleep and dreams. Your mother would be proud to see where you are now."

Celestia held my hand again and led me up the stairs. I turned around so I was facing the hall. Celesia started to whisper in my ear "All dragons you met today you will be taught by, and all humans you will train beside. It may have been short but I can tell you are tired." She turned to the hall and spoke loudly. "You may all return to your islands and chambers we shall see you another day. Please stay safe and healthy." With that I walked out of the hall after the others had left. I took a quick sower to wash off all the makeup I had put on, and changed into a T-shirt and black short shorts.

I pulled back the covers and started to doze off. The only thought on my mind was I might be happy here. Maybe I can start over. Actually live. With that last thought I fell into a dreamless and peaceful sleep.
