Chapter 1: Falling Children
X828
From near and far, flames burned through the country of Fiore. The flames spread so quickly that not many were able to survive. Mages of every guild were standing their ground wherever they were fighting off the biggest threat that the country has had since Acnologia.
Mothers wept for their children they've lost, Fathers burned to their deaths attempting to protect the ones they love, and children screamed as they watched their homes go up in flames to later flow in the sea of red in the sky as ashes.
Fiore was no more. All that was left were the remains of the villages and cities, the littered bodies of those who have died fighting to protect those who couldn't do magic, and the roars of dragons.
A woman and a boy of seventeen were running along the forest that stood near the city of Magnolia. Their breaths echoing in the air as they kept their pace.
"Mom?" the boy called out as his eyes looked back at the destruction behind them.
Their home. The one place where they had sanctuary while his father was away. Their friends and family fighting to protect them. To protect him.
"Don't look back, Kai!" his mother said as she gripped his hand tighter. Her hand gripping onto the pendant of her necklace.
Almost there. The woman thought as they continued running.
She knew what she was about to do was risky, but this is a risk she was going to take to protect her son. To protect their family.
The boy named Kai continued to look back as dragons of white, black, metal, and silver clashed. The roar of each dragon shook the earth underneath them. His eyes never lingered as he continued to run with his mom. His senses as heightened enough to know not to fall.
They needed to leave. He needed to leave.
This was for them. For their family in Fairy Tail.
For dad, the boy thought.
Just as that thought processed in his mind, a roar so deafening echoed throughout the forest. The trees shock with intensity.
"Don't think Kai! Block your mind!" his mother said in a rush.
Kai turned back to his mother and nodded. He closed his mind and continued running. He only focused on running. He only saw the glimpse of the red scales of the great dragon soaring over them towards the city.
His mother not giving it a glance as tears continued to pour down her eyes. She came to a halt in front of a grand tree. Kai not focusing on the stopping bumped into his mother.
"Sorry," he said making sure to keep the both of them from falling.
His mother shook her head but a small smile formed on her face. She kept her grip on his hand as the two disappeared between the roots of the tree.
He's only ever been here once before. So long ago. He was just a child. His father was brought to the healer after an episode that scared he and his mother to death. The home of Porlyusica was no more. The healer long dead after sacrificing her life for those of Fairy Tail.
The healer's house still stood, but surrounding it was blacken ash. His mother's grip tightened as she led him to the place that he was never to venture towards.
"Mom…I don't… Don't make me go," the boy said in soft tones.
"My boy," they stopped in front of the lake that had not yet been touch by death all around it. The mother looked into her son's eyes. The eyes that reminded her of his father. "You must."
"But what about you?" although he stood tall, he crumbled to his knees to his mother. The boy was scared. "I can't lose you too," he said wrapping his arms around her waist and burying his face into her stomach.
His mother laid her hand on his head and rubbed it. "You will see me again where you will be going," she assured him, "I'll be younger than I am now, about just as old as you are now, possibly older, but I will be there."
Kai's tears started falling and his grip tightened around his mother. "S'not the same," he mumbled.
The woman laughed and leaned down to kiss her boy's head before kneeling next to him. She leaned her forehead to his just like his father always did to her. "I will always be in your heart, Kaito," she placed her hand where her Fairy Tail mark was on his heart, "Keep this with you at all times."
Kai looked down at his mother's hand. Inside her palm was the pendant that his father gave her. The Fairy Tail mark with her broken celestial key in the middle.
"This will keep your memories intact," she looked up at her boy's eyes, "You must protect the future, Kaito. You must convince our family of the past that something bad is about to happen and you must stop it."
"But mom…" his voice cracked.
"Hush now my little dragon," her tears fell as she rubbed his check with her hand, "You are our last hope. You have the blood of the great dragon and the blood of the starry heavens flowing through you. You must stop him before the awakening."
Kai was about to say something before blackness took over him. The last thing he saw before he felt himself being lifted and thrown into the shiny lake was his mother's smiling face.
Protect our family.
