Author's note:Hello everyone. I'm MonkeyShinigami, and after a long period of reading fanfics, I was inspired by Forest Dragon Slayer's and Kopaka777's stories to attempt to write one myself. Please go read their stories, The Forest joins the sky and The Ice Dragon Slayer Games respectively. This is my first fanfic, and I hope it turns out good. All constructive criticism, compliments and suggestions welcome. If you do think the story is bad, do state so kindly in a review or a PM, or simply don't continue reading. Please don't flame. Anyway, let the story begin. Enjoy.

Chapter 1: The Beginning of Destiny

Fiore, In some forest, 14 April X777

In a forest, kilometers away from any civilization, a dragon could be found. It was a rather big dragon, covered mostly in dark violet scales. Other parts of the dragon, like its belly and wings, were covered in a lighter, pale violet color. It had a rather long neck and bat-like wings. Its head started small from his snout and got considerably bigger backwards. It had several horn-like protrusions jutting out backwards from the back of its head. It had very sharp canine teeth and round, completely white eyes. It had four legs, each of which had long, amethyst-like claws at the end. Its tail had a couple of amethyst-like spikes at the end as well.

This particular dragon loved humans, and has heard of the potential power that they hold. He, himself, hasn't trained any humans like Igneel or Grandeeney did, since he preferred to be secluded and didn't find any humans that way.

On this particular morning, as the dragon, who went by the name of Motus, walked through the forest in which he resided, he heard crying. It wasn't just any crying, but the crying of a helpless child. He slowly followed the sounds, trying not to scare the source of the noise.

As he got close to the sound, it suddenly stopped. Motus looked around, searching for the source of the noise of just a few seconds back. He was shocked at what he saw. What he saw was not just a helpless child, but a little newborn, staring up at him with wonder in its eyes.

He carefully examined the child without touching it, trying to make sure he doesn't accidentally harm the fragile little thing. "This child doesn't even look a few weeks old," he said to himself in a half-whisper.

Motus looked around, searching for any sign of someone to whom the child belongs. He only saw footprints leading away from the child. "Someone left it here on purpose. Who would just abandon a poor child here."

He decided to pickup the child to further examine it and see if it was hurt, but was shocked in the process. "It has a tail!" he gasped. "And where are its ears?!" The child simply made an inquisitive sound, raising its eyebrows in confusion while trying to make sense of the dragon's rants. Along with raising its eyebrows, it also raised what appeared to be cat-like ears on top of its head, previously hidden in his full head of dark blue hair. "What is this, a human or a cat?!" He sighed, the initial shock fading away. "At least it's not hurt."

Motus didn't know what to do. Here he found a human, a few months before he had to leave, and it has the tail and ears of a cat. "I guess I can't leave it here. It would be defenseless. It would be immoral of me." He gave himself an assertive nod, deciding he will take care of this child for as long as he can.

"Is it male or female, anyway?" the dragon asked to no-one in particular. Motus carefully tried to figure out the gender of the child, not just afraid of harming the child, but also of what he will see. He didn't know much of humans, but he knew how to tell the difference. He didn't exactly want to go look for the difference, though. "Oh, it's a male," he said, seeing what he needed to see and quickly moving on.

"I have never heard of nor seen a human like you." He gave the child a confused look. "But I will name you Tails, little boy. And I will take care of you as much as I can, even if I'm leaving in a few months. I promise I will find a way to take care of you." The child made a gleeful sound at the dragon's promise, not really sure what is going on, but figuring something good is happening.

Still safely holding the little boy, now named Tails, Motus started walking back to his resting place. "I'm Motus, by the way. Of course you don't understand yet, but you will. I will teach you all you'll need to know to survive in the human society, like reading, writing and speaking."

"What should I even feed you?" Motus asked the little child. "Looks like I should also learn about the human society. Who knows, maybe it's normal for humans to have tails. Unfortunately, I don't even know other dragons that can help me. There is of course dragons like Igneel and the more famous ones, but I don't even know where they are. Even if I knew, I'm bad with directions and would have no idea how to get there." Motus had an expression on his face that was as close to sad as a dragon could have.

"Maybe there is a small farm village or something nearby. Someone would be able to help. We'll have to check just-now. But first I'll have to show you my humble-abode." Motus looked down at Tails and saw that he was fast-asleep. "Well, at least you're calm. That's a good sign, right?"

They finally arrived at what Motus considered his home. It was no-more than a small clearing in front of a cave in a mountain, but it was as homey as the resident made it out to be. "Well, this was my home, but now it's our home. I'll have to build you a small home or something. Can't have you sleeping outside in the cold. I suppose you can always sleep next to me in the cave. We'll figure this out later." Motus smiled, trying to reassure the sleeping infant he knew what he was doing.

Motus went to lie down in the cave, holding Tails gently and closely in front of him.

"I'll just have to watch you carefully for now and lie here for a while. I'll go look for people that can help me in an hour or two."

Author's note: So that was the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. The chapters will (hopefully) become longer further on. And just to clear confusion, this isn't Miles "Tails" Prower from Sonic. The character is just named Tails. See you next chapter.
