Dragons hadn't existed in centuries, or so everyone thought. One day, everything changes when a dragon, now risen from the dead, completely destroys Lucy's hometown. She's saved by a mage named Natsu, an escaped prisoner, who promises to take her to the College of Winterhold with him, and so begins an epic journey of dragons, magic, and friendship. / NaLu Fantasy AU, Skyrim setting

One hundred candles burned in the Heartfilia Mansion each night. Like a beautiful ghost at nightfall, Lucy wandered the long hallways with a tinderbox and matches in her thin, graceful hands. She lit the candles on windowsills, and my role was to observe quietly, as if every candle had a name she'd only whisper to the wind, never to me. / NaLu, Natsu's POV
