Approvesport and I were chatting and inevitably this idea came into our heads. Now we can't get it out and we're going to pass it on to you guys now. We hope you like this idea. Hopefully you'll come to like the idea of them together as much as we do.

Check out the picture Approvesport did for them as well. So gorgeous!

Starlit Dragon- Part 1

Lightning split the sky with a loud crack which echoed over the landscape in a violent rush. Rain followed, coming down so fiercely it seemed as if it was trying to wash away all the pain and anguish that hung thickly in the air. Layla turned her head up and let the rain pound on her face, mixing with the hot, salty tears that relentlessly flowed from her eyes.

"We have to," she said, her words soft and broken as she turned her gaze back to the man holding her so tenderly. His raven hair was drenched, strands clinging wetly to his face while eyes as blue as the sky stared sadly down at her, a haunted look lingering behind their beauty. "There… there's no other option."

Reverently her hand wandered, tracing every line of his handsome face while letting the memory sink deep into her heart. What horrible events had brought them to this moment? What wicked fate would bring them together only to tear them apart when they'd finally found true love? Her heart was splitting in two, the pain so far beyond an ache that she could no longer believe that it was still beating.

Acnologia cupped her face and trailed his thumbs over her cheeks, wiping away the tears that were quickly replaced by new ones. Her beauty was breathtaking, even while sadness completely overwhelmed her features. Large brown eyes stared up at him, fringed in thick, dark lashes wet with tears. Her lips quivered with emotion and a sob broke through, causing his own throat to struggle holding back his own. "Why can't there be another way?" he cried, his fingers clenching the fabric of her cloak. His arms tightened and he pulled her against him, nearly crushing her smaller frame against his. He could feel her body trembling and she buried her face against him, wrapping her arms around his neck to hold him even closer.

"I'm sorry Logi… I'm so sorry," she sobbed, her words muffled against his chest. "I can't do this. I don't want to leave you."

Acnologia grabbed her arms and pulled her away, staring down into her wide eyes. "You have to! I can't live without you. It'll destroy me. But I need to know you're safe… you and our baby."

A sound much like the thunder that was shaking the ground grew in the distance, signaling the approach of what they already knew was coming.

"I can't! My heart won't be able to take it."

Acnologia's eyes were rimmed in red and he shook his head solemnly. He tilted her face up to his and pressed his lips against her forehead. "You can do it. I know you can. You're the strongest person I know and you have someone else to be strong for as well."

He kissed her temples and then the tip of her nose. "I love you Layla. I'll always love you."

She sniffed loudly and drew her face back, "I love you too," she said, biting on her lip to keep the sobs from breaking free. "We'll be together again. I don't know how. But we'll be together again."

The sound grew louder and in the distance, tiny specs appeared over the horizon.

Acnologia sifted his fingers slowly through her wet hair, brushing the wayward strands away from her face. She was so beautiful, so precious. From the moment he'd laid eyes on her he'd been captivated and his heart had known instantly that she was the one for him. He hadn't cared what he'd had to do to win her. He'd have traveled to hell and back if that's what it had taken. And very nearly, it had. But that was well in the past now and a new set of horrors were upon them now, growing closer and closer with every gust of wind.

He dipped his head down and gently brushed his lips over hers, capturing their sweetness in a painfully perfect kiss that brought a fresh wave of tears to his eyes. He didn't want to let her go, didn't want to lose the warmth that seeped into him like the spring sun melting away the winter. But the shadow that was eating away the landscape was rapidly approaching, dozens upon dozens of dragons flying swiftly through the fierce storm.

He kissed her once again, desperation clawing at his insides. He could taste the saltiness of their tears as they kissed but he didn't care. This was the last time he'd be able to press his lips against hers, the last time he'd be able to hold her in his arms. The tempest-like wind that was whipping around them felt like a gentle breeze compared to the raging storm of emotion inside of him. He never wanted to let go, ever. But he knew he had to. Holding on to her meant death… for her and their unborn child. And with that thought in mind, he took the first torturous step back.

"It's time Layla," he said, wiping away the tears dripping down her face.

She took a deep breath and felt another rush of sadness sweep through her body, causing her hands to shake as she reached to her hip and grabbed the ring of golden keys. The dragons were close now and she watched them for a brief moment before turning back to Acnologia. "Don't let it possess you," she said, brushing her fingers over his brow. "Don't get lost in the magic."

Acnologia's brilliant blue eyes stared at her unflinchingly for a moment and then he nodded his head. "I won't," he answered. His hand gently grasped Layla's and he closed his fingers over hers, the keys inside. "I love you," he whispered and slowly released her hand as he stepped away, his eyes clouded in burning hot tears.

"I'll love you forever," she mouthed, the words barely audible before taking a long, quivering breath. She could barely see him anymore through the haze of tears covering her eyes but her heart could see him, could feel him next to her. Her hand lifted to reach for him again but on a choked sob she let it drop, knowing she had no choice. If somehow her soul manage to survive this, she would find him again. No matter what it took, she would find him and never ever let him go.

She closed her eyes and let her head fall back, turning her face up to the dark grey sky. The words she'd learned not long ago came tumbling through her lips like a chant and the storm picked up in speed, stirring her clothing which whipped viciously around her body.

Acnologia watched in dread, knowing that any second she would disappear from his life forever. Her keys flew into the air and spun around her like the hours on a clock, ticking down their last few moments together till suddenly the sun burst through the clouds. The rays of light captured her motionless body and she was bathed in sunlight, a sight more beautiful than anything he'd ever seen before.

He stared at her, speechless and stepped back. There was a moment of perfect clarity and she opened her eyes and smiled at him, her eyes saying good bye before, in a flash of blinding light, she vanished.

Acnologia fell to his knees and grabbed the sides of his head as he started to scream her name over and over again. She was gone. Nothing mattered now and time ceased to exist. A hole as black as the midnight sky opened up inside of him and he fell, plunging through the depths that seemed to never end till the shadow of a dragon appeared in front of him.

He turned his face slowly up to the creatures landing nearby, his eyes narrowing as he stood calmly to his feet. Something lit up inside him and he took his first step forward, letting the anger, pain and sorrow control his movement. Magic burst from his body in a sea of bright blue and he screamed the one word that was left to him, the one word that encapsulated the entirety of his feelings in that single moment… destroy.

To be continue...

So, what did you think? Do you like this pairing? I just love the idea of them together. I've always felt like something majorly tragic must have happened for Acnologia to have turned into a dragon, something as tragic as losing the love of his life. The idea of it being Lucy's mom came kind of out of the blue but I think it did because I don't like to think of her with Jude who seemed like such a jerk. Acno would be much better :D
