Song of the Day: Beyond The Stars, by: Evans Blue

DISCLAMIER: I DON'T OWN FAIRYTAIL!

" Whether you are a human or a monster there is no difference in the value of someone's life. " ~The Quote that means something for Natsu and Lucy...

The birds sang and the wind blew in trees making the leaves shake from side to side. The animals looked up picked food and attended to their families. The sun that made the grass and flowers grow. The sky that was filled with clouds of all different shapes and lengths. Soon after the peaceful, calmness. The animals were disturbed by the sound of twigs breaking in the distance, then the animals hid. Looking around, they saw a pink hair figure that was walking on the dirt path. A young boy. The pink hair boy was looking down at the ground. His mouth slightly opened. He looked unhappy and confused at the moment. Silence. The pink hair boy keep walking not knowing what to do or what to see around his surrounding. The pink hair boy stops, looking at his right. Hearing a bush rustling by him. A brown coat appeared in front of the pink hair boy, a fawn. The fawn must have came upon the pink hair boy, accidentally. The fawn looked just like the pink hair boy, scared and hurt. The pink hair boy smiled and starts speed walking toward the frighten fawn. The scared fawn takes the path it took to get here and leaves the pink hair boy. The pink haired boy expression tried from confused, into sadness. The pink hair boy starts to cry, so unhappy, lonely, and hated. The pink hair boy backs up, turns and starts running. Tears flowing from the pink hair boy's face. Stilling running, the pink hair boy sees light in front of him. Then a moment later, the pink hair boy was leaving the forest, the pink hair boy comes in contact with a cliff. The pink hair boy falls to the knees that were scratched up. The pink hair boy was bleeding from head to toe. Hunger took control of the brain, but not the body. Out of breath, the pink haired boy decides to lay down. And closes the sleepy eyes.

The next morning was a bit...unexpected for the pink hair boy. Heat made the pink hair boy wake up in the first place. Sweat that also woke boy, sweat was dripping from the boy's hair to the mouth. Opening the eyes. The dark green eye's saw a red, scaly, big monster, and fire? The pink hair boy starts getting up, but so exhausted. Falls. The pink hair boy looks down at the body, dry blood. Panting and scared, the pink hair boy starts moving back with little energy that was left. The monster sees the boy moving back and looks down. This made the pink hair boy freeze, not moving an inch. "Hm... It seems like we got a scared little boy." says the monster. The boy stilled didn't speak. Shocked, the boy wanted to run away with little energy the body held. The boy got up and wanted to run away, but before the boy could...the boy got swiped into the air. Making the boy dizzy. "Look at you little one, why are you trying yo escape? When you can't even limp?" the beast said in a mean tone. The beast tighten his grip.

The boy whined. The grip was getting hard around the waist. The beast finally said, "I'm a Ingeel, the fire king of dragons! And I'm looking for a dragon slayer, that I can teach the ways of fire..." And with that the dragon turned his head and blew fire out of his mouth. The boy stared in amusement. Ingeel smiled and looked back at the boy who was laughing and wanted to play with the fire. "Hm... Let's see what I caught." Ingeel said. And put the boy down on the ground. The boy stood still. With a face of confusion. "So. Your a young male, looking around at the age of 6 or 7 and has dark green eyes, with very pink hair. And I wonder why some handsome young boy could get himself in these old parts of the woods?" said Ingeel with curiosity written all over his face. The boy tilted his head to the side. Not knowing what to do with the situation. "Don't know how to speak yet, huh? Well... do you have a name?" Ingeel thought for the moment. The boy looked at side and saw Ingeel's tail, wagging from side to side. The boy's face grew into a smile and ran over to the wagging tail. Ingeel gasped as the touching of his tail. The boy really started to like the tail more than the dragon himself. Ingeel stared. "Natsu..." Ingeel said. Natsu looked at Ingeel and a toothy grin appeared. Ingeel picked up Natsu and wanted to hug him. But was afraid that his heat would burn Natsu. Ingeel was already surprised that Natsu didn't have a burn rash yet. Ingeel who was lost in thought didn't notice Natsu who was already hugging Ingeel. Shocked, "Well that's final, your new name is Natsu and your my son!" Ingeel said happily. Making Natsu smiled.

After 2 years of meeting, Natsu was already learning fire magic. Nastu saw how the fire could protect him. And what life and death was. Though Natsu didn't like death. Whenever he might see death he turns his head. Natsu was also taught how to speak and read. Natsu was practicing hunting. One day Ntasu sees a white spot in the grass. After getting a lift from Ingeel, Natsu saw that the white spot was a bunny. A bunny up headed. And look at Ingeel.

"So, if I kill this bunny, then we can eat?" Natsu questioned. Natsu wasn't happy with killing the bunny.

"Yes...If you can son. I'm not sure you can kill things yet. "

That statement mad Natsu a little mad, "I can! Just you watch!" Natsu screamed.

Ingeel shook his head in agreement and watch. Natsu already started toward the bunny and sink to the ground and crawl close to the bunny. He was like a lion in wait. Ingeel stood back in distance, watching how this will turn out. Natsu inhaled. "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" Natsu screamed, with that only a little fire flame came out. And the bunny got scared and ran away. Natsu blinked in confusion. Ingeel laugh at Natsu who was still confused. Under his tail, has been a deer that Ingeel caught a while back. He been keeping the deer, knowing that this would happen. Though he wanted his son to at least try. After being confused and mad for 1/2 minutes, Natsu went back toward Ingeel. "No fair... I should have been able to pull that off." Natsu said with shame all over his face. "I guess that we're not eating tonight..." and laid down to sleep. It was turning night-time and Ingeel sighed and pull out the fresh killed deer. Natsu inhaled a big whiff air and shot up. He blinked and tilted his head to see the deer. Then Natsu gave Ingeel a big toothy grin. As if asking 'can I have that'. Ingeel grin, "Go get a bunch of sticks and pile them here." Ingeel pointed at a spot, "Then light a fire." Ingeel put the deer on his back. "Okay!" Natsu happily said, and ran into the forest. Ingeel looked at the sky. The sky was filled with stars. "I wonder when the time would come...for the battle..." Ingeel mumbled. Natsu came back with an hand full of sticks and places them down. Natsu panted, "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" Natsu scream, and lit the pile of sticks on fire. Ingeel was impressed that Natsu was able to pull that off and started to cook the deer. Though he would have prefer raw. And after eating the cooked deeer, both was stuffed with meat and laid down to rest. What Natsu din't realize that the next night might would have change his life and his world upside down.

The next morning Natsu woke up and still a little full of deer meat. But on the other hand was satisfied. He sits up and looks around for Ingeel, who was sitting and looking into a cave. "Ingeel?" Natsu said sleepy. Ingeel turn around and grab Natsu and flew away. Natsu who was awake now, look at Ingeel who had a serious look on his face. "INGEEL! WHERE ARE WE GOING!" Natsu had to scream, because of how much air was hitting his face. Ingeel was going so fast. He was like a race car...only in the sky. Then Natsu felt weird. A bit nausea. He looks at Ingeel and passed out.

"You have to do the things you don't want to do, before you can do the things you truly want to do..."
