Chapter 1: fateful meeting
A dragon with scales as red as flames flies over what used to be a small village. A devastated village that was demolished in one day, by one of the dark wizard most horrendous demons that knows no mercy, but without a second thought the dragon with lightning speed descended on the burning ruins. A faint green light in the flames caught the dragons eye. It was the light of a woman's magic shielding an infant in the flames, the dragon came up to the light and devoured the flames, sparing them from the fire. When the dust cleared the dragon could see the woman and child clearly, they both had cherry blossom pink hair and the dragon could see the woman's onyx black eyes, but he couldn't see the child's eyes because he was asleep. the woman was startled at the sight of the dragon but when she looked into the dragons eyes she calmed down.
The woman forced her frail body on her two legs and spoke to the dragon," thank you for saving me and my little one", giving the sleeping infant a warm look.
The dragon responded, "you must get to safety, for both you and your child's sake."
The pink haired woman could no longer stand, she collapses on the dirt floor, exhausted from using her shield magic, barely able to move she does a last attempt to hold the child up to the dragon.
"I'm sorry but I don't have the strength to protect him, please take care of him, my son's life is more important than mine."
The dragon gently holds the boy in his claws, "but what about y..." the dragon stayed silent as the woman laid on the ground with a peaceful smile on her face.
The dragon was enraged by what the demon did and the lives he ruined, the dragon growled, "E.N.D you will pay for this".
The dragon looked at the sleeping child in his claw, he knew that if the boy stayed with him, he would have to face hardships and won't have a normal life. The dragon looked to the sky and clasped his wings to the dark blue sky, just at that moment the sun has risen, the infant has woken up to see the luminous ball of fire rise from the horizon, the boy gave a gentle smile.
The dragon whispered to the child, "that is the first summer sunrise", then he thought for a second, "since I don't know your name how about I call you Natsu".
Natsu gave a joyful laugh while the dragon joined him, the dragon looked into the infants black eyes that are the same as his mother." Alright Natsu for now on you can call me Igneel and if you want I can teach you dragon slayer magic." Natsu smiled in agreement. Igneel stared back at the sunrise, 'I hope this was the right choice my son.'
So what do you think, I know its pretty short for an intro, but it shows the background on how Igneel met Natsu. this will contribute to the story later on.
By the way I don't own Fairy Tail, if I did I would rather have someone else be END instead of Natsu.
