Thanks for reading! First at all I want to clarify that this is a translation from my original fic in Spanish. If you know that language please go and read it from my profile. Otherwise, please excuse my mistakes, since I'm not an English speaker and my skills in this language are not so good, this is most a translation using google translator and edited by me as much as I can so it makes sense. Please feel free to correct any mistake you may encounter.
The idea of this fic came to me because I read some fics where Erwin is a Dragon and Levi a human, and they get involved on sexual situations, but please guys, that's really sick… So I wanted to write something with the same topic, without the part where magically a dick of Levi' size fits into him without tearing him apartt… I hope you like it!
Dragon's Lullaby
I
In this mysterious world, where humanity struggled daily to establish itself as the dominant race; the dragons were masters and lords of all lands. The gigantic reptiles terrified the villages and towns, flying with their mighty wings and sweeping everything in their path. As they stole cattle, they could carry on any careless human who had not sought shelter from a dragon's attack, to quietly in his lair, feed on the wretch.
The fierce fire-spitting creatures were the owners of the land, sowing terror between animals and people alike. Because of this, the dragon-hunting profession was one of the most prestigious and profitable, but also the danger involved in devoting itself to this noble workforce. Hundreds were the men who dedicated themselves to this labor, but unfortunately it was a very small the amount that survived to be able to boast and to fill out of riches.
Even so, over the decades, new generations of dragon-hunters appeared; with different methods to combat them, more powerful weapons and more impressive skills each time. It was thus, as little by little, the human beings were gaining ground, until reducing the population of dragons almost the point of extinguishing them. In that way, they finally became the species that prevailed on the earth.
Although many dragons were struggling to re-establish their reign of terror, the ancient and respected profession of dragon-hunts, was no longer profitable, but remained equally dangerous and risky, and almost no one was left dedicated to it. Due to this, the jobs for the few men who remained serving as killers of those creatures, were very scarce and it was hardly possible to live of it. By that same reason, the villages that were unlucky enough to run into a dragon, were usually slaughtered by them before they could hit a hunter.
Levi Ackerman, was a man who, despite his short stature, had learned this profession since he was a child. At a very early age, his mother was killed by one of these creatures and since then, he swore that he would exterminate each and every one of them, so he trained in the art of killing dragons to become the most skilled on the face of the Earth. His reputation transcended, and although he no longer had many jobs, people always sought his protection if a dragon even terrified them.
Levi was not interested in gaining wealth as a result of his hunts, he only gloated at the fact of massacring the dragons, and his only aim was to end his accursed race. Because of this, he wandered from village to village, from place to place, exploring valleys, forests and mountains; in the endless search for the dreaded animals. He lived day by day, with what he managed to win, animals he hunted for food, or the hospitality of the villagers when they discovered his identity. He had in his possession only a few belongings which he always carried with him, and his sharp sword, a tool so powerful that, in combination with his enormous strength, was able to make deep cuts in the hard scales of a dragon, and manage to bury it into it heart.
In one of his journeys, the hunter ended up in a small village which had been dominated for some time by a rather small dragon, with emerald-green scales and deep orange eyes like the fire that exhaled from its lungs. The animal was very fierce in spite of its size and had already managed to eliminate half of the inhabitants of the small town. They were fortunate enough that Levi arrived there, since they already have sent several desperate travelers, searching for a hunter, but none had been lucky and they all already felt completely dejected. The man arrived at the village, just when its inhabitants had already resigned themselves to the idea of their imminent death into the dragon's jaws, which sometimes only hunted them for the fun of eliminating them, and not even to feed of them. But Levi's arrival there changed the fate of the miserable villagers as much as the life of the hunter himself.
Once he had been informed of the problem, Levi waited for the creature to appear, which occurred the day after his arrival. The battle took place in the middle of the village, the dragon flew by, and the thundering of its wings alerted the villagers, who, shouting and jostling, ran for refuge in their dwellings, but also warned the hunter, who kissed the hilt of his sword, entrusted himself to the memory of his mother and went out to meet the animal.
By the whim of life, dragons were creatures with a reasoning equal or greater than the humans, it was a fact that the older ones possessed a wisdom which neither the elder of men could attain, and also, were capable of communicate in the human language; although they did not do it very often.
"Well! But what do we have here?" The beast uttered mockingly, as it saw the figure of the little human approaching him with a sword. With that simple phrase, Levi understood that it was a young dragon, lacking of experience, and that everything that came out of its mouth was a product of immaturity, and that probably would not even represent a real challenge in battle. The older and more experienced dragons did not usually speak to humans.
Levi did not respond to its comment, which caused the creature's arrogance to become a nuisance. The young dragon was self-centered and could not stand being ignored, so it immediately inhaled sharply and exhaled a fiery flare of fire. The hunter, whose agility was unmatched by any other human being, was able to dodge the wave of fire easily, which only caused the annoyance of the dragon to turn into anger. It had never fought with a human, and it was accustomed to being feared, to seeing humans fleeing from it, thus confirming it superiority. So it could not stand the idea that one of them would challenge him.
The gigantic reptile, then raised the flight, generating a strong gust, which managed to make Levi back a little. Finally, after taking some height, it plummeted to shoot down its opponent, but did not count that the hunter was really fast, and was able to dodge him. With much more anger, and unable to think correctly, the beast repeated its action, again without success. It decided then that it had to face him directly, so it flew to positioning a few meters from Levi.
"Do you think a mere human can defeat me? Do not make me laugh!" The creature taunted again, trying to provoke Levi, but the human did not flinch. Levi was trained not to be carried away by his emotions, or by anyone's words. So he could think and act clearly, which could not be said of the dragon, who drowned in anger by still being ignored by Levi.
With a quick movement, the dragon turned, trying to knock him down with his tail, but once again, Levi jumped, managing to avoid the blow. The dragon was no longer in its right mind, because anger had taken over it completely. It continued attacking him, exhaling fire, slamming his tail, trying to catch him with his snout; all unsuccessfully. Levi was too agile for it. Finally, the hunter got tired of 'playing' with the beast. He waited for it to position itself so that it was vulnerable, and having its chest exposed, Levi lunged with unexpected speed and force for the animal. He plunged his sword deep into the heart of the dragon and continued to push to make sure that he had buried the sword as deep as possible.
With a piercing cry of pain, which made the villagers who took shelter in their homes had to cover their ears; the dragon collapsed. Levi drew his sword and blood began to gush from the wound. The dragon had been defeated and the villagers came out of their hiding places to cheer the hunter.
"Stupid human. Do you think that you have conquered us?" The dying beast pronounced "Deep in the mountains lies the lair of Erwin, the only golden dragon, the oldest and strongest of our kind. He will take care of eliminating all of you miserable humans, at the moment he is creating a plan for the dragons to finally recover these lands..." Before it could continue, Levi approached the animal giving it the coup de grace, ending its life immediately.
"You were not the big deal. A lot of talk but you turned out to be a scoundrel." The hunter snapped his tongue in annoyance and took out a piece of cloth to proceed to clean his sword that had been covered by the thick and hot blood of the dragon.
That night, the villagers made a huge celebration in honor of Levi, their savior. They ate, drank, and danced until dawn; but in the mind of man was occupied by the words that the beast prowled before dying. If it was true that this golden dragon was planning something big, he had to find it and eliminate it. But he was intrigued by the fact that the green dragon had revealed so much information to him. If it was all a trap, he would fall right into their trickery.
The next day in the afternoon, Levi rejected the villagers' offer to stay in that village as the 'official protector.' Instead, he accepted provisions and some coins that they gathered together. He had decided he was going to find that golden dragon, and if it was all a trap he would be prepared to face whatever was presented to him.
