Algaia had fun with Loke and the others
yesterday. But until now, she have
no idea what her role is in this world.

Algaia just woke up. It was so
early in the morning. Everyone
was still barely awake.

Algaia: Just what time is it .___.

I sat on my bed. Wondering what to do.
But then..... I noticed, time had stopped again.
and someone appeared from behind me.

Algaia: F-FRANCE! STOP SURPRISING ME!!

France: *chuckles* So, you have no idea
what's gonna happen to you? *walks
around with his icecream*

Algaia: Y-Yeah =3=

France: I'll give you a hint. A dark guild
is after you x)

Algaia: What

France: After Hephaestus's power.

Algaia: WHAT WHY SO HE GAVE
ME POWER JUST TO BE HUNTED
DOWN BY DARK GUILDS? R U
EVEN SERIOUS, SRSLY R U EVEN FOH REAL

France: *chuckles* Of course, What will
your life be without a plot? We just gave you  a plot.

Algaia: Whatever -__-"

France: Oh well. That was just a hint, princess.
See you around~ ;3 *vanishes*

Algaia: Yeah yeah right.... *rolls eyes*
(W-WAIT JUST A HINT?!)

Since France had disappeared,
the time was no longer frozen.

DAY 42 BEGINS.

Someone knocked on my door and
eventually walked in.

Natsu: YO! >;3

Algaia: Natsu! :D

Natsu: Hehe, so are you alright now?
I'm gonna go to the mountains, I just
thought you might wanna come along.

Algaia: t-the mountains..?

Natsu: Yeah, we found you there.
I thought you might remember something.

Algaia: I-I see.. alright, let's go! :D

Natsu: Alright! >:3

By the time I stood up....

An earth quake occured.

No, wait, it wasn't an earth quake.
IT WAS AN ATTACK.

Natsu: O-OI!!! W-WHAT HAPPENED?!

Natsu rushed outside and checked,
and we saw a big hole in the ceiling.
and the floor was burnt.

Erza: NATSU! It's..... a DRAGON!

Natsu: WHAT?

Algaia: WHAT?!!!

Lucy: There was a dark beam,
like a ray of light and it rapidly
hit the guild. We saw a dragon..
A DRAGON... I-I'm sure..

Algaia: *holds Lucy* C-Calm down, Lucy-san.
Natsu is here with us.

Lucy: *eyes widen* A-Algaia-san..
Y-Yeah! Let's drive that dragon away!

Gray: Is anyone hurt?!

Juvia: J-Juvia is... *acts to be hurt*

Gray: nevermind...

Juvia: ACK (OAO;

Gajeel: WHY WOULD A DRAGON ATTACK US?!

Laxus: Isn't it obvious? It's because she is here.

Laxus pointed at Algaia.

Algaia: W-What do you mean..?

Natsu: OI! LAXUS! STOP THIS CRAP ALREADY!

Happy: NATSUUUUUUUUUUU! *flies towards Natsu*
A DRAGON A DRAGON IS OUTSIDE WAAA ;A;

Natsu: C-CALM DOWN HAPPY! e__e

Freed: Laxus is right. No strange events have
occured so far. But ever since she came,
a lot of weird things happened right away.

Lucy: G-GUYS! S-STOP IT! *stands and covers
Algaia* Even she.. doesn't know what's going on.
Stop acusing her, okay? She's with us!

Loke: I agree with Lucy. Everything might be
just a coincidence.

Makarov: EVERYONE!

Mirajane: M-Master!

Makarov: NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WE
MUST PROTECT OUR COMRADES! TAKE
THAT DRAGON DOWN!

Everyone: YES!!

Happy: AYE SIR!

Natsu: Hoho! NOW I'M ALL FIRED UP!

Lucy: Algaia-san, we will protect you!

Algaia: Arigato, Lucy-san!

Everyone went outside and prepared
themselves. IT'S LIKE WAR. OMG.
AND THE DRAGON.... It's black, it
kinda looks like Acnologia.

Erza: EVERYONE.... ATTACK!!!!

Happy: NATSU! *carries Natsu*

Natsu: LET'S GO, HAPPY!

Algaia: Good luck, eveyone..

I stood behind Lucy..
she's protecting me.

while everyone else fight for me.

Algaia: *looks sad* (I feel like a burden..)

However, we were too unprepared.
The dragon eventually wiped us out.

Now it's only me and Lucy.
Standing while shivering in fear
as the dragon flew closer to us.

Lucy: A-Algaia-san, no matter what,
I'll protect you, don't worry!

Algaia: Lucy-san, hurry up and run!

Lucy: No! I can't do that!

And then.. suddenly..

I heard a voice.

"Princess...."

Algaia: W-Who's there?!

Lucy: W-What's wrong??

"It's been a while.."

Algaia: Who...

Lucy: Algaia-san..?

It took me a while to realize.
IT WAS THE DRAGON.

Algaia: Y-You, you know who I am?
*faces the dragon*

Lucy: Algaia-san! It's too dangerous!

"........it's almost time...."

Algaia:  W-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

Natsu: Algaia!!! Stay away from her,
you son of a b*tch!!! *throws a rock to le dragon*

Algaia: N-Natsu......! ..........Y-YOU..
LEAVE US ALONE! YOU'RE HURTING MY FRIENDS!!

Gray: O-Oi.. isn't that dangerous...?

Juvia: Juvia is worried...

Mirajane: Lucy! Take her and run!!

Algaia: HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!
*points at the dragon*

"Princess...."

The dragon stopped. He didn't move.
Everyone else wondered what's wrong.

Lucy: W-What's wrong with it...?

Algaia: *gulps*

But then.... the dragon suddenly flew away.
Leaving all of us. We had no idea how..
but it seems that the dragon listened to my words.

Natsu: The dragon...

Gajeel: It listened to her?!

Algaia: (I don't know why....)

After that, everyone was healed by Wendy.
The others finally recovered and is now resting.

I was sitting in the halls while everyone else
is suspicious of me. They suspect me
for being a huge threat to humanity.

Gray: Oi, don't look so down.

Algaia: G-Gray-kun..

Gray: I don't think of you as a threat.

Erza: Same here. *walks up to the two*
My name is Erza, I believe I haven't
properly introduced myself yet.

Algaia: I-I'm Algaia... (AH MY GODDESS)

Gray: Yeah, I mean, how could a
cute pretty girl like you be a threat to humanity?

Erza: *laughs* That's true. You don't
look any threat to us.

Algaia: (I don't know if I should be happy
or feel sad because I am a weakling loljk
AW HE CALLED ME CUTE JDAHJGDASA)

Meanwhile... In Lucy's house....

Lucy: I know I've seen her before..

Natsu: What do you mean, Lucy?

Lucy: I've seen her..... somewhere,
I just can't remember it clearly!

Natsu: That's strange o.e

Happy: Lucy, are you sure it's
not about your novel again?

Lucy: *kicks Happy* I'M SURE!! >:@
Wait, I think Levy can help us! *rushes
outside and goes to the guild*

Natsu: The dragon... listened to her....

Natsu & Happy caught up to Lucy
and they all went to the guild all together.

Lucy: Levy-chan!

Levy: Lucy! Thank goodness you're alright!

Lucy: Yeah, but by the way, can you help
me with something?

Levy: Sure, anything for Lucy-chan!

The two ran together, it seems they're
headed to a certain library.

While Natsu decided to take Algaia
out of the guild to cheer her up.
Gray, Gajeel, Juvia and Erza went with them.

Natsu: Lucy said she already saw you
somewhere before..

Algaia: Eh? o.o

Gray: That's strange..

Juvia: but in any case, Juvia is
willing to help at all cost!

Algaia: Arigato, Juvia-san.. :)

Juvia: *smiles at Algaia*

Gajeel: So? Tell us.. did
you talk to the dragon?

Algaia: I can hear his voice..

Erza: !! Just like Wendy...

Natsu: What did it say?

Algaia: He said, 'It's been a while' and called me princess..

Gray: That's really strange...

Natsu: I agre----- H-HEY DON'T STRIP HERE! >:@@@

Algaia: *laughs apologetically* XD....

Gajeel: Levy and Lucy is trying to figure it out, right?

Natsu: Right..

Juvia: Gajeel-san, you're here to help too?

Gajeel: O-OFCOURSE WHY WOULD I BE HERE THEN >:@

Erza: Let's hurry.

Happy: Aye sir!

We hurried over to where Lucy and Levy is.

Lucy: THIS IS IT!

Levy: You've found it already! Let's read it!

Lucy: Yes!!

The two sat together and read an old book.
It was all dusty and some pages were torn.

Lucy: *blows dusks* I'm sure this is it.
*opens the book*

Levy: The answers..

Lucy kept on turning the pages.
And then she eventually stop at a certain page.

Lucy: Levy, look!

Levy: That's...

Lucy: Yes, it looks like her! Just a different hairdo though..

Levy: Read it!

Just when Lucy was about to read it..
Natsu and the others finally came.

Natsu: How's it going?

Happy: Lucy! Did you find some answer?

Lucy: Natsu, Happy! .....Algaia! Everyone...

Erza: So have you?

Lucy: Not yet, but I'm about to! Listen to
this! *reads the story in the book*

As Lucy began reading, everyone
fell silent and listened seriously.

"Once upon a time, there was a princess....

 who possessed beautiful flames.

 she herself was a beautiful woman.

It was said that...

the princess was able to tame dragons..

using her flames and beauty.

Dragons obeyed her.

And one day...

A shadow dragon was attracted to her flames,
including the princess' beauty.

the princess was revealed to be a relative
to the God Of Fire, Hephaestus.

Despite being just a relative,

she possessed Hephaestus's power perfectly.

The shadow dragon fell for the princess

he loved her.

but then one day...

the princess eventually vanished.

She was believed to be dead.

And the shadow dragon mourned for her,

however, he tried searching for her.

Until today.

The dragon never gave up."

Lucy: The next pages are already torn..

Levy: That princess is...

Lucy: You, Algaia-san.

Algaia: W-What? (WHAT!?!?!)

Natsu: She tamed... dragons?!

Happy: Woah..

Gray: Wait, how can you be so sure that
it is her?

Lucy: Look at this photo.. it's the princess.
Doesn't it look like her?

Juvia: She does...

Algaia: (M-MY PAST SELF!)

Erza: ............I'm speechless..

Gajeel: How come she is still alive?

Lucy: I don't know... but one thing is for sure,
she's the princess of dragons.

Natsu: Flames... she possessed a god's flames...?

Algaia: I don't know...

Lucy: Wait! I just saw something! *reads the book*

"Other than being the princess of dragons...

 She is despised by the God, Hephaestus.

Being able to control his flames so simply.

It is believed that in the future..

when the princess shows up once again,

The count down to Hephaestus's awakening...

shall begin.

A few days after the princess' return,

Hephaestus shall be revived.

And when that time comes,

he plans to destroy every dragon.

as a form of torture to the princess

whom he despised the most.

and after that...

he will kill the princess himself."

Erza: That means...!

Algaia: Hephaestus will be revived
in a few days...

Natsu: ....and kill ALL dragons...?

Gray: That probably include dragon-slayers too..

Juvia: Then we must stop his revival.....

Gajeel: But how? *tilts his head*

Levy: It says here! *continues reading*

"There is only one way to stop his revival.

 seal him.

seal him completely.

using the princess's flames.

if you use his own flames against him,

you can end the nightmare of Hephaestus.

he will be in a deep slumber...

for eternity."

Natsu: Seal him?

Happy: But we have no idea where he is!

Levy: I think I do.

Lucy: Levy-chan?

Levy: If you look through the photos in the book..
you can see an order of different places.
A sea, a mountain, a forest and a desert.
That could be "The path of godly flames"
I've read about it, I thought they called it that way
for tourist attraction purposes. But now... I know..
It is the path that will lead you to the god of flames' sanctuary.

Algaia: (I. AM. SPEECHLESS.)

Lucy: Wow... I never thought.... such fairy tale
could be true. I read this when I was a kid.
I thought it was just one of those childish tales..

Erza: Now we know, we shouldn't take fairy tales
so lightly. *smiles*

Gajeel: Geehee. Looks like we need to stop
another guy from rampaging again.

Juvia: Juvia will help!

Gray: Ha, let's kick this god's butt!

Natsu: Alright, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE!

Happy: Aye sir!!!

Natsu: *takes Algaia's hand* LET'S GO! :D

Algaia: *eyes widens* .... *takes his hand*
HAI! *smiles and nods*

We happily embarked on this new adventure.
Everyone looked excited.. and cheerful.
Instead of being afraid, they gladly
took on this challenge.

this is why I love Fairy Tail.

DAY 42 - A New Adventure Begins! ; I'm the Princess of Dragons!?
