Living In A World So Grimm
Ever since the dawn of mankind, human lives have been nothing but a long struggle against shadowy beasts that they call, Grimm. The creatures of Grimm have no other purpose other than to destroy human kind and all their creations. Luckily, the humans survived solely on their stubbornness to live and have set up small villages throughout the land of Remnant, but the humans will run out of luck sooner of later. Or will it? A certain young child might hold the key to humanity's future.
That young child lives in a village that is located in a place that will be later called, Vale. In the village, everything is peaceful, the sun is at it's highest in the clear blue sky, children are running around the village, men and woman are finishing their daily chores, but soon this peace will be crushed by the forces of chaos.
On cue, a large rumble can be felt all throughout the village which causes everyone to stop what their doing and look for the rumble's source, at the front of the village is a man, covered in blood, sprinting his way to the village with all his might. "GRIMM! THE GRIMM ARE HERE!" He warns just before a large shadowy figure tackles him to the ground and rips him in half with ease, unleashing all of the blood and organs, trapped in the man's body, scattering all around the dirt pathway. Soaking the dirt with his blood.
The shadowy figure looks like a bear with pitch black fur, that could rival the darkness of the void, and the eyes of red that are just like the blood on its front two paws. The bear stands up straight on its hind legs and roars into the sky, striking fear into all who are unlucky enough to witness the brutal murder.
It seems that the bear signals its friends to join in on the slaughter as a large group of more shadow beasts catches up behind it. After the bear's friends arrive, it goes back on its four and roars again, but this time it's a war cry. Its friends respond by charging forward, targeting any human in sight.
"OH GOD! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Someone yells as a hoard of shadow beasts charge straight into the village.
Men, women, and children try to flee into their huts for shelter or to arm themselves with weapons while the Grimm begins their assault on the humans. In all of the chaos a young woman in her mid-twenties stands up, completely shocked of the attack, holding a small sleeping baby, with an odd set of pink hair on the baby's head, covered in a white blanket. She is wearing a plain thin blue dress, that ends at cover her legs, with black slip-ons hiding behind the dress. Her light gray hair is tied to a pony tail at the back of her head, her thin eyebrows and fully open bright blue eyes clearly show that she fears for her and the baby's life.
'Why...Why is this happening!?' She screams in her head as she watches everyone run from the invading Grimm.
"I have to safe the child," She mutters to herself as an approaching man accidentally bumps into to her, causing her to fall to the ground, while the man stumbles to the ground he notices the woman in front of him but he frantically gets up to run again without even looking back, fearing only for his own life. It seems that all the screams and roars of the chaos are all blocked out as she hears the cries of the baby in her arms.
As the woman rocks the baby side to side she senses something in front her so she looks up to face it. The woman finds herself looking directly into two blood red eyes, the eyes of the same bear that signaled the charge, and the only thing she could think of...is to run. So she gets up as fast as she can then makes a beeline directed to the woods outside the village.
Before the bear could chase after its prey, two men charge at it with spears in hand, but the bear makes short work of them by slashing them both with it's right claw in one swift movement. The men are too slow to react as the deadly sharp claw slices through both of their bodies like a knife cutting butter. After their corpses drop to the floor, the bear picks up the woman's scent and chases after her, leaving its shadow kinsmen to deal with the humans without it.
'I have to rest...Natsu is crying...I have to calm him down,' The woman manages to run out of the village, avoiding the creatures of Grimm the best she could, and makes it into the woods safely and unharmed. She sits down on a fallen tree log and starts to calm the baby, called Natsu, just like all the other times when Natsu started to cry.
"Shh, Shh, now Natsu. It's okay Buba...I'm here," She assures the child and Natsu starts to go back to sleep.
"What do I do, I can't run forever, I have to find somewhere to hide." She whispers to herself, the women gets up from the log and she can feel her legs slightly wobbling from fear. She ignores the shakes and looks around the corner to look back at the village but her sight is covered by smoke that consumes the village, a fire must of started after she ran into the forest. Her eyes widen as she spots a black lump approaching her from the village.
'That thing is hunting for us!' She realizes and decides to go deeper into the forest, sadly even with the head start the black lump is gaining on her...and fast. It didn't take long before the creature gets into arms reach of the fleeing woman. She can even feel the Grimm's hot breath on her neck as she spots a large cave opening in front of her.
'RUN FASTER!' She screams mentally as she uses all of her energy to sprint toward the cave. The gray haired woman hears a roar behind her and something powerful blasts her forward violently. She screams as she holds a crying Natsu close to her and she lands on her back in front of a cave.
'I'm so close...come on...just a little further,' She doesn't even bother to look front her as she gets up and limps toward the cave, ignoring the pain coming from her back, it seems that the bear got a hit in before it launched the woman forward. The pain is pulsing from three deep slashes on her back and she is losing a lot of her blood as she limps into the cave, luckily the bear behind her got it's paw stuck inside a tree log. Giving the woman enough time to take shelter into the cave.
The woman can't see anything in the cave even with the light coming from the entrance behind her. She looks back and finds the monster catching up behind her, coming from the entrance the cave, she makes the decision to run deeper into the cave, but before she can go any further she bumps into a hard surface, the end of the cave.
"No no no no..." She mutters, franticly looking for an opening in the stone wall as the footsteps, behind her, echoes louder and louder in each step...causing the survivor to lose hope for her and Natsu's life. She looks into her arms and finds Natsu crying his eyes out, "This will be all over soon little one," She assures the scared baby as a few fresh tears drop on to Natsu's blanket.
She accepts hers and Natsu's fate and slowly turns around to find two crimson eyes staring back into her's. Her breath quickens as a hot gust of the beast's breathe hits her face. The beast decides to get up on its hind legs and raise its paws above its head to prepare itself to unleash the killing blow.
"I'm sorry Natsu," She apologizes hugging Natsu with all of her love, but the creature shows no mercy for the loving woman as it roars in the woman's face as it slams down it's paws right in front of her, creating a powerful shock-wave. On impact, the bear creates a small crater in the cave's floor as the woman and the child oddly burst through the stone wall behind them and into a strange blindingly bright room.
10 minutes earlier
In the skies above lies the realm of the god...er...goddess of Remnant, Mother Nature. She watches over the world acting as a mediator for the world, balancing good and evil so the world doesn't crumble from the inside out, but these times are harsh for the goddess because of one species, The Grimm. The Grimm are powerful forces of chaos and evil, having no souls and one purpose to eliminate all human kind, the Creatures of Grimm are just creating a world of pain and suffering for the humans.
Doing her job, Mother Nature decided to create a new natural source of energy to assist the humans on their fight against the Grimm, her creation doesn't have name yet but it should be fine without one for the time being, her creations are crystals containing an energy source in a form of one of the four basic elements, fire, water, earth or air.
She didn't what to distribute these crystals out in the open, so she decided to plant large quantities of these crystals inside caves scattered across the world, and if someone is lucky enough to stumble upon one of these caves then she would teach him, her, or they everything about it so they can fight the Grimm, but it's been one full week and no one has found any of the deposits. On top of that, the Grimm are extremely close to completing their life purpose. Currently, Mother Nature is brainstorming, in her realm above the clouds, about how to indirectly help the humans discover her creation.
In a realm of pure white, a young woman stands alone in front of a sphere, that resembles a lot like the world of Remnant, deep in thought. The woman looks to be in her prime and everything about her is...astonishingly beautiful...her long dark green hair is tied to a pony tail at the back of her head and two long bangs come down in front her face and ending on her pale cheeks.
She is in her thinking mode with her eyes closed and her right hand rubbing her chin while her left is holding her right elbow, supporting her arm. She is wearing a thin dark purple kimono with a pink cherry blossom design and a golden ribbon tied to her waist. Even though she is wearing a kimono, it's clear that she is very endowed in the sex appeal department because of her large G-cup breasts and amazing curves, which the kimono hugs her to for dear life, giving the goddess the sexy yet elegant look. She doesn't wear any shoes because she hardly even goes out, she is a goddess after all.
"This is troublesome, by the time a human finds my creation, all the human villages will be destroyed. What can I do to speed up the discovery?" The young beautiful woman ponders to herself, after a few seconds of thinking she comes up with a solution.
"Hmmm...this will have to do...if no one finds the crystals today then I will plant some small crystals outside the remaining villages, that should fix the problem," She decides putting her right index finger in the air and opening her eyes, revealing two eyes with small black pupils and golden scleras.
Then unexpectedly the Remnant display starts to glow red in one of the land masses. The goddess looks at the the alert and swipes her hand upward and the display zooms into the land till it shows a bird's eye view of a village under attack by Grimm. The goddess frowns at the sight, humans running for shelter or being shred apart by the creatures of darkness. She can't do anything to help the humans, she vowed not to interfere with any mortal's lives ever since she awoke in this realm unless it was absolutely necessary. This and the feeling that she would be punished for doing so deters her from helping the mortals.
"That's odd, where is that one going?" She mutters watching a black bear run into the forest.
After watching for a few minutes she realizes that the beast is hunting a human woman carrying a child. Her eyes widen as the woman falls to the ground then limps into a cave, a cave containing a crystal deposit. The Goddess decides to save the woman and child, so she snaps her fingers and her body evaporates into a golden dust.
The golden dust gathers inside the cave and spirals upward then disappears to reveal the goddess standing idly. The woman examines her surroundings, she finds that the room filled with crystals lodged into the stone walls of the cave, in red, green, blue and white, making the only source of light. She hears a roar coming from outside the hidden room then a figure comes crashing through the wall in front of her with an another figure with red eyes behind the hole in the wall.
Mother Nature goes on alert and prepares herself for battle, after the years and years of existence, she got into a few fights with some of the inhabitants of Remnant, but this is different, this time she is fighting to protect someone's life.
'This fight is going outside...I can't risk losing the humans in the battle,' She plans as her right hand begins to gather concentrated wind as the beast starts to step into the room, but before it can get any farther the goddess launches the wind ball at the beast and, on impact, it flies outside the cave and tumbles across the ground.
She looks at the human woman and realizes that she doesn't have much time left in her, 'I have to finish this quickly if I want to save the mother,' She observes then runs outside the room to face the Grimm.
The beast roars in pain, because that wind attack tore off most of its face on the right side, as it gets off the dirt and looks for its enemy. It finds the green haired woman stopping just outside the cave entrance. The monster wastes no time with the woman and charges at her head on even with the wounded face.
Mother Nature watches as the beast raises its right paw for a swing attack, but she easily jumps to the side. The beast pays no mind to the dodge and continues with the assault by lunging at her. The goddess defends herself by swiping her hand upward, summoning a dirt wall that emerges from the ground which stands in the beast's way.
On the other hand, the beast doesn't care about the new obstacle and charges through it like it's nothing then swipes at the goddess again. She didn't expect for the beast to break through her barrier so she hastily tries to summon another barrier but she's too late as the beast's claw lands on top of her right breast then claws down her stomach.
She screams in agony, as her chest spray blood all over the beast's face, and stumbles back trying to cover one of the three slashes on her chest. She chooses to return the favor by trapping the beast, summoning quick sand under it. The beast feels something under it collapse and its paws start to go under, it manages to free its hind legs but it front paws remain stuck in the quick stand.
Watching the bear struggle to free itself, this isn't the last of the greenett's attack as she raises her right hand, lifting up a near by tree next to the beast, then swipes her hand to the left, forcing the tree to dive-bomb toward the beast's right leg. The bear tries to free its paw but the tree was too quick as it slams right on its leg, breaking it instantly.
The bear roars in pain as it frees its left paw from the trap, but before it can release the other, broken, paw, it's opponent copies the same action from earlier and the tree from before slams back on the broken leg, this time forcefully ripping its foot off its leg. Like a hose fully turned on, the beast's leg sprays blood into the quick sand. It looks back at the powerful being for a moment then decides to run back into the forest, it's retreating.
The goddess doesn't say anything as she watches the beast flee into the distance, after the beast clears from sight she goes back into the cave hastily, 'Please don't die on me...' She worries for the wounded mother.
The goddess stumbles back into the cave holding her chest wound and widens her eyes to see that the mother is backed against one of the walls softly hugging the sleeping baby in her arms. The goddess can tell that she dragged herself to that spot due to the blood trial she is currently sitting on. The greennett slowly limps toward the mother, but before she can talk to her the mother, she slowly looks up to her, "Th...ank...you..." She mumbles but the goddess hears it clearly.
"Save you strength, I'll save the both of you." She suggests.
The mother slowly shakes her head as blood comes out from her nose, "Ta..ke...care...of...Na...Na...tsu." She pleads as she breathes her final breath, closes her eyes and smiles, then slumps her head down.
The Goddess stands in front of the dead mother in complete shock, she has seen people die on the display screen in her realm but in person...never...and it's 10 times worse in person than on some screen. She just witnessed a loving mother die cradling her beloved child. She drops to her knees in pure horror and distraught, then begins to scream uncontrollably at the sight. Her hands begins to shake from the fear as she covers her face with her bloody hands.
...
..
.
Then through all of the screams another small pitched cry echoes in the room...the sounds of a baby crying for attention. The screaming goddess suddenly stops as the baby cries, she looks at the child then quickly grabs the baby from the corpse and into her arms then starts to cradle him just like his mother would.
"Natsu...I swear nothing will harm you as long as I still breathe," She pledges solemnly, hugging to crying child.
Five years later
For the next five years, in the goddess's realm time which is extremely slower than Remnant's time, Mother Nature raised Natsu the best she could, she taught him how to walk, talk, read...everything that she knew...besides fighting. She doesn't want Natsu to face the horrors of battle and death so she steered clear from that topic, but she did teach him how do defend himself if the times reveals itself.
For once in her life she has purpose in this world that she would die for, raising and protecting Natsu. She's never been so happy in her life to have another person living with her in her realm. She and Natsu bonded for what seem like an eternity and Natsu sees her as his mother, but she always felt sad every time he said that title. She blamed herself for not saving his real mother, all she could do was to give the woman a proper burial inside the cave where she died, marked by a large reddish pink crystal.
While raising Natsu she completely forgot about training a champion to fight the Grimm, but it didn't matter. The humans found the deposits and created weapons on their own so there was no need for the Goddess to train one. Times have changed, 400 years to be exact in the Remnant realm since she saved Natsu, the humans built large cities across Remnant and have sent the Grimm scattered across the world, but they weren't done yet, from time to time they would attack small villages outside the large strongholds, but the Grimm are considered defeated.
Bringing Natsu to her realm did some good for her, she changed her realm into her own paradise with small Japanese like house inside a large cherry blossom forest to make her world a more livable place for her and Natsu, there is even a hot-spring in the cherry blossom forest as a bonus. She is currently watching a group of strange individuals wander in an unknown forest, on her globe screen, in a dark room. She looks confused as she tilts her head to the side, observing the strangers carefully.
Then a little boy with spiky salmon hair, around five year-old, runs into the room with a bright smile planted on his face. He's wearing a red long sleeve with three black buttons going down the middle of the shirt and a golden ribbon tied to the side of his waist, tan ankle jeans and two brown combat boots.
"Mama! I finished my studying!" He shouts running to the goddess with open arms.
The goddess turns around to receive a hug from her pink haired son, she looks down and smiles at the boy and caresses his cheek with her left hand. The boy looks up and opens his eyes to reveal two midnight black eyes.
"What 'cha doing?" He asks looking at the globe behind his mother.
"I'm observing these individuals dear Natsu." She answers breaking from the hug and showing him the globe.
Natsu walks in front of the screen and checks out the people but finds nothing odd about them, one female and one male are walking in the wood casually, "Why? I don't see anything wrong with them," He points out.
"Look closer Natsu," She suggests.
Natsu tilts his head in confusion then shrugs as he puts his face against the screen which causes her to giggle, "Not that close Natsu," She says as Natsu backs up from the screen.
'I don't see anything...what's wrong with th-' He then comes to a discovery, mid-thought, as the female rubs something black and furry on her head.
His expression lightens as he looks at his mother, pointing at the screen, "The lady has cat ears!"
She smiles at the boy softly, "That's right Natsu, these individuals have physical animal-like characteristics. They must be related to the humans due to their physical similarities."
"So...they are like special humans Mama?"
"You can say that Natsu," She assures rubbing the boy's head then precedes to walk out the room.
"Come now Natsu...I want to show you something," She says gesturing Natsu to follow, which he does.
"What is it?" He asks holding his Mother's hand.
"The humans call it Dust..." She begins to explains as she and Natsu walk out of the room.
Two years later
Two years went by in the goddess's realm and Natsu is now seven years old. His powerful Mother taught him everything about her crystal creation, which the human's call dust, and now he has the power to fully manipulate the colorful crystals. This has it's advantages which includes, complete control over the dust in any form, the ability to absorb dust energy to increase his own, and the ability to create his own dust by combining dust crystals together.
Sadly for his mother, she has reluctantly decided that Natsu should go back to his homeland...back to Remnant. He may be young, but he has training from the Mother of the Remnant, so she thinks that he will be fine down below, and if bad goes to worst she will lend aid if necessary. So in the past week she has been gathering and making items to aid him on his journey without her son even knowing of her plan. The idea of sending him back just came out of the blue, right after she gave him the lecture of basic self-defense, she felt nothing could hurt him on his own.
Timing can't be any worse because the current four human kingdoms are at war with each other, the war started three years ago and she doesn't even know the exact reason why they were fighting in the first place, but she thinks that if Natsu lends a helping hand from the shadows. He could help stop the war from continuing, fixing the balance of good and evil once again.
Natsu is standing in the arena his mother created for him a year ago, which is just an open space in the forest, covered in dirt drenched in his own sweat, and breathing heavily in the middle of a small crater, "I think I'm finished for today..." He mumbles as he slowly climbs out of the crater. He turns around after he gets out, finding several other craters around the one he just got of, then smiles proudly at his destructive work.
"Time to clean up" He mutters as he raises his left hand in front of him, causing the craters to fill themselves up with dirt. Did I mention that his mother also trained him to control the elements? Anyway after filling up the craters he turns around then walks into the forest to head back home, leaving no trace that he trained at the arena at all.
...
..
.
Natsu takes his time getting home, he enjoys the peaceful scenery of the cherry blossoms. He gets lost in the beauty of nature as time flies by, then he finds himself in front of his backyard. He walks up the steps then slides open the back door and walks in.
He takes off his boots then looks around room he is in, he finds a small dark wooden table, with large lime green pillows under it, in the middle of the room, besides the hall way to his left that about it. Natsu and his mother never stayed inside for long so they kept their home simple with the basic necessities.
'Mama must be working again,' He assumes as he walks down to the end of the hallway.
For the next half hour Natsu gets himself cleaned up and rests for a while. He hasn't seen his mother all day so he decides to check up on his Mother to see if she needed anything. So he gets up the futon he was sleeping in then walks to the door, his room looks exactly like the living room but instead of a table it was a bed in the middle of the room.
After closing the door he looks to his right and finds a staircase that leads down to the basement. He goes down the stairs and spots a stone wall with a wooden door. Before he can open the door, the door open by itself, revealing his mother standing at the door.
"Oh! Natsu, I was just going to call you," His mother says softly as she walks back into the room.
"What is it Mama?" He asks following his mother, the room is dark and the only source of light is a familiar globe display at the back of the room and a lamp hanging from the ceiling.
He watches his mother stop in front of a wooden table with three items, a golden necklace with a reddish pick crystal pendant, and two strange looking objects. One looks like a weapon and the other looks like some sort of belt.
"Do you know who I am Natsu?" She asks softly, looking at the table below her.
Natsu tilts his head in confusion then answers quickly, "Of course I do, you're my Mama."
A smile forms on her face as she shakes her head side to side, "No Natsu...I mean do you know what I am?" She clarifies.
"Ummmmm..." He stalls trying to come up with an answer.
"I'm a goddess Natsu, a powerful being that watches over the world."
"So do you protect the world Mama?" He asks, getting a little scared of all the questions she's asking.
"Yes Natsu...I protect the world...just like I protect you."
Natsu doesn't interrupt and waits for her to continue, "Do you know what you are?" She asks almost in a sad tone.
"I'm I...a goddess too Mama?" She smiles at her son's innocences.
"If you were Natsu you'll be a god but you're not, you're a human, and humans belong in Remnant."
"What are you saying Mama?"
Natsu watches as his mother takes a deep breath, "I...I want you to live in Remnant for now on." She says on the verge of crying.
"Okay, so when are we leaving Mama?" She hears and it breaks her heart because now she has to explain.
"No...only you are going to Remnant Natsu...I'm staying here."
Natsu's mind is filled with distraught as he runs to his mother, "NO! I don't want to leave you Mama, come with me, I don't want to go alone!" He pleads.
His mother turns around and hugs Natsu with all her love with tears in her eyes, "I know baby...but you belong down there...with other humans."
"I don't care if I'm a human...you're my Mama so I'm staying with my Mama!"
The pain is unbearable for the Goddess to send her own adopted son away from her so soon, it wasn't fair but it had to be done.
"You always wanted to...sniffle...to explore the world right Natsu...you can see new things and meet new people when you down there," She tries to persuade but Natsu just shakes his head between her chest.
"I don't want to anymore Mama! I love you so much!"
"I know baby I know...but you just have to be strong...you're a big boy right. Just remember that I'll be watching over you everyday and I love you with all my heart."
Natsu stops crying and gives in, "Okay Mama..." He says breaking the hug and wiping his eyes. His mother wipes her tears then picks him up then sets him down on the table.
"I'm giving you these things to help you on your adventure," She explains as she picks up the necklace and puts it on his neck. Natsu notices that it looks exactly like the necklace on her neck.
"This is a necklace that glows when we are thinking about each other. So when you feel down just think of your loving Mother for comfort okay Natsu," She explains.
Natsu sniffles then smiles a little bit, causing his mother to smile back and ruffle his hair, making Natsu pout.
"This one is a weapon that the humans use...they call it a revolver. It fires six projectiles made out of Dust so using it will be no problem for you right Natsu," She explains presenting the strange weapon to Natsu.
Natsu slowly nods then takes the gun out of her hands, it is a little heavy but nothing he can't handle, he then examines the gun in awe. The whole thing is pitch black like the night sky and to what looks to be a handle, of the strange weapon, has a sliver dragon's head emblem designed on the left side of the handle. Above the handle is a strange lever attached to a sphere-like object that is connected to long metal rectangle, with silver flames spiraling from the sphere to the end of the rectangle, this might be where the projectiles come out of the weapon. The weapon as a whole reminds him of a black dragon with the whole weapon painted black, the emblem on the handle, and the silver flames spiraling toward the end of the barrel. Natsu decides that this may be the best present his mother even gave him, he's going to cherish this thing for the rest of his life.
"And this one is to help you carry that around, it's called a holster, you can put it around your waist or around your arm." She explains strapping the black holster around Natsu's waist.
"Thank you Mama!" He shouts in joy as he hugs his mother, which she happy returns.
"Now Natsu...be...before you leave. I want to show you something." She says as she pets Natsu's head.
Natsu looks up to her and nods, then his mother snaps her fingers as a golden dust engulfs them then disappears into nothing.
The mother and son appear inside a large cave with many crystals embedded into the stone wall, but more importantly, a large red crystal in the middle of the room. Natsu lets go of his mother then looks around and takes in the beautiful sight of the crystals.
"Where are we Mama?"
"This is where I found you Natsu..."
Natsu's attitude drops like a rock as he remember his mother's words, he is human...so she wasn't his real mother.
"See this crystal Natsu, this is where, I-I buried your real mother." She points the the giant crystal behind her and Natsu slowly wakes to it and puts his hand on it, he can feel a pleasantly warm feeling inside him when he touches the crystal.
"So this is my real Mama? Then what do I call you Mama?" He asks slowly, worried about hurting foster mom's feelings.
She looks down in guilt but then quickly looks back at her son, "That is all up to you Natsu, I failed to save your real mother so I feel I don't deserve the title of being your mother," She guilty confesses.
Natsu steps back from the crystal, walks up to her, and gives her another hug, "You and her are both my Mamas. Even with one of my Mamas are gone, I still love you both with all my heart and that will never change," He declares, having two mothers wasn't bad, more love for him right?
Mother Nature has never been so happy and sad at the same time before, her son loves her even though she failed to save his real mother, she finally gained closure for her mistake and she will never forget that her pink haired son will always love her no matter what happens, but on the down side she doesn't want to see her son leave her so soon...but it's time to let the boy see the world.
"I'm...I'm sorry Natsu, but it's time for you to see the world." She says regrettably as she breaks the hugs and walks toward the cave entrance with Natsu holding her hand.
Natsu nods sadly as he walks with his mother outside the cave.
Natsu winces at the new light of the real world and takes moment to adjust his eyes to his new environment, and as he opens his eyes he finds something he never expected. He is in front a red forest, the trees, grass, and the mountains in the distance are all a dark red. It is a magnificent side to behold as Natsu takes in every little detail of the red forest. His mother looks at him with a big smile on her face, Natsu must of rubbed off her, as she bends down to give her son one last hug.
"I'm going to miss you...my son." She says accepting the fact that she is Natsu's godly mother.
Natsu starts to tear up at the word, he finally earned the title of being the Mother of Remnant's Son, and he gladly accepts the hug.
"I'm sure we will meet again...just remember that your Mothers will be watching over you."
The boy raises his eyebrow in confusion at the word Mothers, "Who do you think gave you that crystal?" She hints.
Natsu then pieces the puzzle together and realizes that the crystal on his necklace came from his real mother, she gave him one last parting gift before she left, so now both of his mothers can comfort him when he feels down. Natsu makes his biggest smile and gives his mother a quick hug, "I love you Mama..both of you...Thank you for everything." He thanks as he lets go from the hug, the last hug that he will get for a very long time, then reluctantly walks away from his mother and into the red forest.
...
...
...
After gaining some distance from the cave he turns back to see that his mother is no where in sight, he takes a deep breath and walks into the forest head held high, 'I'll make you proud Mama!' He declares as he proudly walks forward.
Then unexpectedly Natsu hears a large roar right above him, he prepares for battle and pulls out his new revolver. Using his senses, he feels a large creature dive bombing straight down to the ground. Thinking that the creature needs help, he begins to plan for a way to save it.
'Wind...that can work...maybe it can slow the animal down.' He plans and strangely the revolver's silver flames turn to a bright blue. He notices this then realizes he doesn't know how to use the weapon in the first place.
He feels something on his left index finger and decides to pull it, then out of no where the weapon fires a blue bullet into the sky. Natsu doesn't expect this recoil and slams right into the ground, creating a small crater the resembles the crater's made after his training. Natsu's head starts to ring from the gunshot, or the crash, so he takes a moment to recover.
"What...was...THAT?!" He shouts excitedly as he jumps out of the crater jumping around in a circle, purely amazed at the power of this small firearm. During his excitement, something big and red crashing behind him.
BOOOM
Natsu covers his eyes, with his arms, to fend off the incoming rocks and dirt. When the dirt-smoke clears he lowers his arms and finds a red scaly tail sticking out of a large crater that took out a large part of the crimson forest.
"Ummm...hello? Are you okay?"
Mother Nature Bedtime Stories (Chibi short)
Mother Nature holds a energetic Natsu as she takes him to his room and lays him down on his futon.
"Mama, I'm not tired yet." Natsu points out as Mother Nature tucks him into bed.
"Then how about a little song, then after that do you promised to go to sleep?" Mother Nature offers.
"Really?!" Little chibi Natsu asks.
"Yes, but only one song, then you go to sleep." Mother Nature warns.
"Yes! I promise I'll go to sleep Mama." Natsu assures as Mother Nature oddly picks up several plushes of Grimm and puts them on the bed, displayed in a straight line.
"Okay...ba dum ba dum ba dum ba dum ~Old Miss Salem had a farm, E-I-E-I-O, and on that farm she an Ursa, E-I-E-I-O~" She starts to sing and picks up an Ursa plushie then sways the plushie side to side with a happy Natsu listening to the song.
"There was a rawr rawr here, rawr rawr there, here a rawr, there a rawr, everywhere a rawr rawr. Old Miss Salem had an Ursai E-I-E-I-O." She sings and makes the plushie look like its roaring in her hands.
"Old Miss Salem had a farm, E-I-E-I-O, and on that farm she had a Nevermore, E-I-E-I-O." Mother Nature puts down the Ursa plushie and picks up the Nevermore plushie while Natsu hugs the Ursa plushie.
"There was Qrow Qrow here, Qrow Qrwo there, here a Qrow, there a Qrow, everywhere a Qrow Qrow. Old Miss Salem had an Nevermore, E-I-E-I-O..."
This song about Salem and the creatures of darkness went on for a while till Mother Nature went through all the known Grimm; Beowulf, Ursa, Nevermore, Death Stalker, King Taijitu, Boarbatusk, Goliath, Creep, Griffon, Beringel, Geist, Grimm Wyvern, Grimm Wyrm, Seer, and Giant Armor possessed by Grimm. Now Natsu sleeps with a pile of all those Grimm's plushies on his futon with an exhausted.
'This is stuck in my head now.' Mother Nature notes as she kisses Natsu on the forehead then makes her way to her own bed to sleep while humming the Old Miss Salem song.
And that's beginning of Natsu's new adventure.
This is my first Fairy Tale story so if you don't mind tell me how I did (Even if you're reading in 2017 and above)
CHIBI SHORTS- These are just non-cannon shorts I'll add on to the end of each chapter in the future. If you got any ideas then PM/REVIEW them to me if you don't mind.
BETA READERS- If you want to beta read this story than give me a PM and tell how this whole thing works 'cause I don't how it works.
If you haven't noticed yet this story will be dark in the terms of battle scenes, of course, they will be gory...and if you can survive that, and the typos, then you are rewarded with...story.
The Grimm in this part of the story are pure black and no outer skull armor of theirs. Why? Because they are the first generation of Grimm.
Natsu's Revolver...seriously I think that this is the best parting gift ever, anyway if you want a visual look up Ocelot "Shalashaska" Revolver's Tornado 6. It looks like that but all in black ect ect you people probably know what it looks like by now.
If you like this chapter then good for you
Till next time
