Hello Everybody, Aniimeziing here for another story! Now for anybody asking, I got permission to do this story from the original writer DragonGlass after they couldn't continue the story themselves. Now, for the concept. This story is about what would happen if Lisanna didn't die but with my own twists and things added in for extra effect. Also, I like to make my main characters kind of OP but there always has to be a reason for it so thee will be in this one, trust me. Also, I love Nali so...
LETS GET STARTED!
I do not own Fairy Tail
In Fiore, your magic is the physical embodiment of your soul; the larger your soul, the more magic you can use and the more powerful your soul, the stronger your magic is. You are able to train a soul like you would a body, you make it stronger, more resilient, build up its endurance in order to make your magic is 'better' or more powerful or larger in capacity. However, a chosen few are gifted with extremely large souls… and they are known as the Slayers.
Slayers can be split into 3 categories; Demon Slayers, God Slayer and Dragon Slayers. They all have souls larger than any other being in this world, which can range from 2x larger to 4x larger. Slayers gain this trait from the combination of two beings into one body, be that the essence of a Demon, a God or a Dragon. People have always speculated which is the stronger form of magic and for years people have debated about their order based on strength and for once, most people tend to agree with one list:
1. God Slayer Magic
2. Demon Slayer Magic
3. Dragon Slayer Magic
Many different people have said many different reasons why they are ranked like this, whether that be that Gods and Demons are beings not of this realm, or that Dragons can be taken down even by normal means while the latter take very specific conditions. However, none of this seems to matter to those who wield such powerful magic.
The most fascinating of the group, in the opinion of the masses, is the Dragon Slayer class. This can be said for many reasons; the fact that there are varying ways to become a Dragon Slayer from the First, Second or Third Generations, or it could be that they are a very rare race, only able to pass on skills directly and not through spell books like the other two magic's. One such hypothesise says otherwise…
Dragon Slayers have split souls.
It doesn't matter what, into quarters, thirds or maybe just a half, but in every pure blooded Dragon Slayer lies a split soul. Dragon Slayers that have Lacrimas implanted into them do not have such a split, but their souls have been fractured slightly, allowing for more magically power to be put out. Many have suggested that the split could be put down to the intense struggle that Dragon Slayers have to go through to put the essence of a Dragon in their bodies, or the dangerous and life endangering training they go through but the real reason is that they are incomplete…
Is that Dragon Slayers are lost in magic without a mate.
When their souls are split, they form a cracked edge that another soul would fit perfectly into. As previously stated, the more splits, the more mates the Slayer needs to complete their soul. However, even at their incomplete forms, they still hold the same size seen in Demon Slayers and God Slayers. During the time period where a Dragon Slayer is alone, their most primitive emotion is put out; anger, fear, arrogance, traits like these.
But when they find their mates, a beautiful thing is formed. Their soul's double, maybe even triple in size, filling them with magic that maybe the world can never know. Many Slayers don't take advantage of this and keep to protecting their loved ones with the magic that they are most used to.
Here is the story of one who didn't. Here is the story of the Fire Dragon Slayer who ruled the world with fire alongside his mate. This is the story of Igneel's Son, of Natsu Dragneel.
For Natsu Dragneel, this place looked like Hell.
He was far, far away from his nice, warm cave and now he was standing in front of the doors of the 'Fairy Tail' Guild, a building built out of wood! Wood of all things! He remembered that Igneel had told him that this is how humans lived, that they lived in shacks of stone and wood, that there were things called 'doors' that he had to knock on before he entered in order to be polite, that he had to eat using metal objects?! Truly, the human world was Hell.
For the last year, he had been backpacking it all across Fiore trying to find his father, Igneel, after he disappeared on the 7th of July X777. All Natsu had left to remember him was the scarf that hung around his neck. After the failing to find him, he decided that he needed to settle down for a while and that's when he started hearing about the Fairy Tail Guild and how strong they were. If anybody could help him to get strong enough to find Igneel, it would be them.
Wandering up to the front doors, Natsu pondered for a moment before lightly pressing his knuckles against the brown material. It felt soft, but hard under his skin and he couldn't decide whether he liked it or not. Then, just like Igneel had told him, he waited for a while. No answer. He ran his knuckles across the wood once more. And once again, no answer. Now, this was starting to piss Natsu off. For the final time he knocked on the door only to receive… silence.
Deciding that enough was enough, Natsu kicked the doors open.
"I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS POLITE TO KNOCK ON PEOPLE'S DOORS SO ANSWER THE DAMN THING WHEN I DO!" Wide eyed and crazed, Natsu's voice carried over the whole Guild. The reaction he got back was… less than friendly.
"You don't have to knock on a Guild door, you know?" Looking to his right, he saw a black haired boy about the same age as him. He had dark blue eyes and… no shirt? Was this a human thing? He had had to walk through town to get here and Natsu swore that he had seen no one else like this boy… Maybe he was a nudist.
"Well, this is the first Guild I've been to, so don't blame me."Natus explained to the boy, whose face began to bare a confused emotion.
"Didn't your parents tell you about Guilds?"
"Not much only that they exist.
"Why? Guilds are like the most important thing magic wise in all of Fiore!" This kids tone was really starting to piss Natsu off! It wasn't his fault that Igneel was terrible over-grown gecko!
"I'm sorry, Princess, but if you've lived in a forest all your life you probably don't have to know about this kind of stuff!"
"What did you just call me-" Before anything could happen a new voice joined the fray.
"Gray, leave him alone, okay? We don't even know what he wants."
This time, the voice came from Natsu's left. Looking over, Natsu saw a little girl about the same age as him and… Gray? Who the hell names their kid after a colour? Anyway, the girl had dark brown hair and deep purple eyes. Glancing at her outfit, he was pleased to see that she was wearing an orange skirt: he'd be in a bit of a bother if he'd walked into a nudist Guild on his first day of actually joining human society…
'I wonder if they exist.'
"But Cana, you heard what he said." The boy argued with the brown haired girl, now named Cana.
"Gray, remember what Master told you?"
"Yea…" The boy, named by Cana as Gray, grew a downcast look on his face which made Natsu chuckle, before returning to his companion.
"Cana, huh?" Looking back to Natsu, the young girl smiled at him.
"That's my name. That's Gray, what's your name?"
"My name's Natsu." Suddenly, the Guild Hall grew very quiet.
"That's a unique name…"
"Says the one whose name is a colour."
"Hey! I was trying to give you a compliment!" Before the two could start another shouting match, Cana intervened
"Anyway, why are you here Natsu? Do you want to join the guild?" Looking up at the girl, he smiled before nodding.
"Yea, I do… Is there some sort of test or something?"
"No, there isn't but you should go talk to Master Makarov to make sure that you can join."
"Master Makarov?"
"Oh right, you don't know that much about Guilds do you? Basically, each Guild has a Guild Master who goes over jobs, pays for any damage done on jobs and basically keeps the Guild up and running. Jobs are what wizards do to make a living. You go to the job board over there and pick the job that you want then you go over to whoever is running the bar at the time and they will stamp it for you. If you complete the job, then you get paid a set amount of Jewels for the job. Got that?"
"Um… I think so?"
"OK then! The Master's office is just up those stairs."
"Thanks Cana!"
Looking towards Gray, he sent the boy a slight scowl before running off to the stairs. Before he got there, however, his eyes met those of another and he froze. Sitting in the corner of the room with two other children was a girl about a year younger than him, so she was about 10. And Natsu didn't know what it was about her but… she was so pretty. Her white hair stood out so well amongst the crowd and even against her own pale skin and eyes so blue that they would cause the clearest ocean envy. Yet she looked so small, so fragile and that caused Natsu worry… He didn't even know this girl.
Soon his feet were re-directing themselves towards the girl, unaware of his surroundings. Soon his heads were swarmed with thoughts of protection and affection, words that Igneel once read out to the young boy swimming around in his mind.
"Natsu… One day you will meet someone who will change your life. They will be the one who brings light to your life, the one who will make you stronger beyond any measure and they will be the one that you strive to protect from all harm. They will be your mate, the one that you will stand by for all eternity. Remember, what I told you about a Dragon Slayers soul, how they are split? Well, they will be the one that completes your soul and they will allow you to unlock your full potential. You gained this trait from your Dragon Heritage passed onto you by me and Dragons act on instinct so you won't have any control over your body when you meet them but trust me, you won't want to stop yourself when you meet them. Remember this, Natsu. Live like a Dragon and rule with your Queen!"
When his feet finally reached their destination, almost all eyes of the Guild were on him, but he didn't care. He was a Dragon and he acted on instinct. Looking back towards the girl, their eyes connected once more and she let out a beaming smile.
"Hello, my names Lisanna."
Slowly detaching his eyelids from their resting place, Natsu's dark onyx eyes were exposed to bright lights from all directions. Blinking once, then once more, he slowly began to find the world again.
He was on a train.
He was going on a job.
He was lying down.
He was with his family.
Leaning up a bit, Natsu felt the full force of his motion sickness hit him hard, forcing him back down to his previous position. Putting a hand to a forehead, he let out a low moan of agony as he tried to not gag. Underneath him, he felt movement and above him, he heard movement.
Cracking open one eyelid, he stared up above him with his smile beaming. Above him on the table sat a fluffy blue cat with big black eyes and a small green bag on his back. Next to him sat the most beautiful person in the world in Natsu's eyes. Her short white hair framed her face perfectly and her blue eyes hadn't lost a shade in the 7 years that they had known each other. Her small frame and build made it easy for Natsu to be conserned for her but he had been proved many times that didn't need to happen.
They were the two most important people in his life and looking at the girl's finger, he spotted a beautiful silver ring sitting on her delicate flesh. Names and numbers were carved into the steel and he couldn't stop himself from smiling. Glancing back at his mate, Natsu's smile only grew.
"Hi Darling."
"Hi Honey, I'm back."
Thank you all for reading! I hope my writing style is all right and I hope that you enjoyed it. Next chapter, we will be getting into the main story where they meet Lucy and stuff so yea! Also, you have to excuse me but I won't be sticking to the timeline that much. Why? Well, I have things planned out that wouldn't really work if they stuck to the timeline. Most of the main bits are there but just... not the times. I will explain more when we get to one of these points but for now. Thank you for reading once more!
