Hello everyone, this is my first fanfiction that I've ever made so it might not be that good compared to other stories here and English is not my first language so I apologize if there are some grammar mistakes here and there. So with that said, let's get into the story.

*Spoiler Alert* If you're not following the manga, then I suggest reading it first *Spoiler Alert*

Chapter 1 : Lost and Found

*sob sob*
"Igneel Igneel, where are you?" cried a boy with pink hair. He was all alone in the forest looking for this Igneel guy but eventually got tired and gave up. Well, if one saw him they would think he's all alone, but in truth he's not. There is actually someone or something rather that is with him. And it's not something you can see with your own two eyes unless it decides to show you itself that is, but it's something like an inner demon. And that demon is sealed deep within this boy. The strongest demon ever created from the books of Zeref, E.N.D.

"Jeez would you just stop crying already. It's so annoying." said the demon itself. But rather than it, it sounds more like a she so we'll go with that. "But I can't help it, Igneel is gone. And he left me with you of all things." replied the boy to the demon. "Oh trust me kid, I would leave you alone if I could, but unfortunately I'm kinda sealed inside you so yeah sucks to be you." said the demon again getting an angry look from the boy.

Before the boy could reply any further though, an old man found him and greeted him. "Why hello there child, what are you doing all alone out here? Where are your parents?" asked the old man. The old man is confused on why is this boy all alone in the forest, did his parents left him there, if so then why. They could at least leave him in an orphanage. "My parents abandoned me when I'm little and ever since then Igneel took care of me, but now he's gone too." answered the boy as he starts to cry again. The old man panicked when the boy started to cry but then found a solution.

"I know, why don't you come to my guild. We can talk about it there if you want." said the old man. He gave his hand to the boy wanting to help him stand up, but some questions needed to be answered first, like "What's a guild, old man?" and "Can I really trust you?" and just to be safe "You're not a pedophile, are you?"

The old man twitched his eye at the last question, but answered all of the boy's question anyway, including the last one. "Cool then, let's go old man." The boy then ran past him leaving him in the forest. The old man can't help but smile at the boy's antics and started to go to the guild. But wait, didn't the boy go the other way. As he thought about it, the boy came back and asked him a question. "Where's the way to the guild old man?"

He can't believe this boy, he just ran off not knowing where the guild is and came back asking where it is. He facepalmed again for the third time thinking about that scene from earlier. After those moments of facepalming, the old man starts a conversation between the two of them. "What's your name boy if you don't mind me asking?" the boy then looked at the old man and answered his question. "The name's Natsu Dragneel, the proud son of Igneel. What about yours old man?" the boy then asked back to the old man. "My name is Makarov Dreyar, the proud guild master of Fairy Tail." answered the old man. Natsu looks confused and about to ask Makarov a question but decided to save it for later, instead he asked a different one. "Hey old man, what's a guild master? Can I become one?" Makarov lifted his eyebrow thinking why doesn't this boy know much about anything. Well, surely he knows some things but not knowing about a guild and a guild master, now he's not sure what the boy knows, after all a guild and a guild master is pretty much common knowledge to the people. But in the end, he decided to keep that thought for later and answered Natsu's question.

"A guild master is the one who heads the guild, their role is to lead their own respective guild and is the highest authority in the guild." Natsu stared in awe at Makarov. Who knew an old man like him have such a title. Natsu was thinking how would he do if he become a guild master, he doesn't know but the thought excites him, until Makarov crushed his dream. "It may sound cool having a title like that, but the truth is boy you have to work so hard that you feel like going to die. But you can't because all of those paperwork, all of those apology letters, and all of those money you have to spend because of the destruction your BRATS have to make is not allowing you to. And until you're finished with it, you're not going to have a rest. And do you want to know what is the best part about it, it keeps piling up. So, do you still want to be a guild master boy?" Natsu doesn't really understand what Makarov is saying about paperwork and stuff like that, but from the sound of it he already knows it's bad, really bad. And then Natsu answered Makarov by shaking his head side to side rapidly getting a smile from Makarov.

"Anyways, we're here. Welcome to Fairy Tail Natsu." again Natsu stared in awe but not at Makarov, this time at the guild. And then Natsu asked Makarov the question he's been saving. "Hey old man, why is it called Fairy Tail?" Makarov saw this question coming and already prepared the answer to it. "Do fairies have tails? More than that do fairies even exist? Nobody knows for sure. So this guild is like them, an eternal mystery, an eternal adventure." Makarov answered Natsu. Natsu doesn't really get what Makarov was saying, but what he knows for sure is that it sounds awesome.
