In the bustling floating city of Skyreach Hollow, a shimmering rift tore open above the plaza. From it fell Natsu Dragneel, knocked out cold, sprawled on the cobblestones with faint flickers of fire still glowing on his skin. Beside him, Lucy Heartfilia stood alert and steady, her calm gaze scanning the crowd as she prepared to protect her fallen friend. Her arrival marked the start of a new adventure in this strange, magical world.
