Fairy Tail plot

Lucy Heartfilia, who lives in the magical kingdom of Fiore, has only one wish. She had her eyes set on the legendary guild known as Fairy Tail. Little did she know that she would join them far sooner than she had anticipated.

She had an odd encounter with Natsu Dragneel, also referred to as the Salamander, and he took her to the guild. The guild wasn’t exactly what Lucy had imagined.

Natsu’s mischief and hot temper when interacting with Gray Fullbuster and the queen of combat, Erza Scarlet, meant that the guild was in trouble more often than she would like. Lucy embarks on a journey with her fellow guild members in the hopes of defeating Zeref, the all-powerful Dark Mage.
