Year 766, Early Fall
"Hey, Get up!" A voice broke the silence of the peaceful morning, as a young boy laying down on the ground, groaned getting his ground off the hard, concrete floor.
"Huh? What do you want..?" The boy who had just awaken up spoke, rubbing his eyes and looking at the other boy. The other boy looked around to be five and wore a red t-shirt with a lightning logo in the middle, paired with blue shorts in the bottom.
"Why are you sleeping out here? Don't you have a family?" The other boy spoke, sitting down next to the other.
The other boy, wearing black pants and a gray t-shirt looked at the red shirted boy and sighed "Family? The heck is a family?"
"What? You don't know what a family is?"
"No. I was raised by a dragon named Aquos."
…
"Wait what?" The boy said, breaking the silence "You're saying that you were raised by a dragon? Are you out of your mind?"
The other boy replied with a shrug, starting to look around. Then his eyes widened, as he frantically looked around once more. "Wait. Where the heck am I? This is not Brown Forest."
"Brown Forest? That's like all the way to the east. This is Magnolia."
"Magnolia?"
"Yeah, Magnolia. You never heard of Magnolia?"
"No, why would I have?"
"This town is where the famous guild, Fairy Tail is at!"
"Fairy Tail? That just doesn't make sense at all. Fairies don't have tails."
"HEY! You don't know that!" The red shirted boy, stood up, crossing his arms, shouting in an angry tone. "Fairy Tail is one of the strongest and coolest guild out of them all!"
The other boy sighed, rolling his eyes "Yeah yeah… Whatever."
"And I'm going to join the guild next year!" The other boy grinned
"What's a guild anyway?"
"You don't know what a guild is either? Sheesh. A guild is where mages gather and do missions and other cool stuff!"
"That's cool." The boy said flatly, looking at the water stream downwards
"But Fairy Tail is different! They treat each other like as if they're real family! That's why I want to join Fairy Tail!"
"But don't you have to be a mage to join Fairy Tail or whatever?"
"I am a mage!"
The other boy raised his eyebrow in disbelief "You are? What magic do you use?"
"Here! I'll show you!" The yellow haired boy smiled as sparks of lightning charged around his fist. Soon the young boy hit a small boulder next to him, shattering it to pieces.
"Woah. That's cool. You're a lightning mage"
"I know right? Hey, are you a mage too then?"
"Sort of. Aquos told me I'm some sort of dragon slayer."
"Woah, that sounds cool. Do you kills dragons and stuff?"
"No, not really."
"Is there a specific element you use or are you a swordsman or something?"
"Yeah. I practice Water Dragon Slayer magic."
"Want to show me how it works?"
"Sure. I guess." The boy said looking at the water and started to move the water upwards with his own will.
"Woah, that's so cool. I gotta tell my grandpa and father about it!"
"I guess. But Aquos can do it so much better." The other boy said chuckling.
"If we pair up together, we would be unstoppable! No one can win against water and lightning paired up! They'll get electrocuted!"
The two boys chuckled on, as time had already passed by few hours. The two's conversation was surely interesting, talking about what they liked doing, who their role model was and all sorts of stuff.
"Hey, do you want to join the guild with me?"
"What? I barely met you and you want me to join the guild all of a sudden? Don't you think you're rushing things?"
The yellow haired boy shrugged "So? It's always better to do it together."
A sigh came out of the other boy, but he formed a small smile "...I'll think about it."
"Come on, please? It'll be so much fun and we can go on all sorts of adventure and become really strong!"
"That does sound fun."
"Yeah right? We'll be like the unstoppable duo of Fairy Tail!" The blond mage grinned as if his smile was going to reach all the way to his ears.
"Fine. I'll join with you." The other boy chuckled as the blond mage quickly hugged him.
"Oh, what's your name anyway?" The blond mage asked
"Uh… Duryn." The boy said "And you?"
"Laxus!" Another voice yelled out, catching the attention of the blond young boy. "It's time to go home!" A short, old man shouted out from the other side of the street walk.
"Coming, grandpa!" The boy shouted back as he looked back at Duryn and smiled "Sorry I gotta go now! I'll see you later!" He said, as he began to run towards the old man.
Duryn waved his hand goodbye as he smiled. This was just the beginning of a new friendship just like Aquos had told him to make new friends.
The boy sighed, looking back at the water watching his reflection. "Aquos? Where are you?" He thought out aloud, hoping for a response. However, as expected, nothing returned his question as the young boy sighed and began to walk towards the other direction.
Meanwhile, Brown Forest.
A gigantic, blue dragon laid in the middle of the forest, covered with blood and scars all over it's body. The dragon took deep but slow breaths, looking around it's surroundings.
Sorry my boy, looks like I'm not going to make it. The dragon thought, and slowly stood back on it's feet. The dragon smiled, closing his eyes as it thought of when it first met the young boy.
Flashback
"I want to be strong so I can protect people I love and find my Mom and Dad!" Young Duryn shouted at the gigantic blue dragon, towering over him.
The dragon looked down "Listen here kiddo, you're bothering my meal time."
"Teach me how to be strong and I'll leave you be!"
"Kiddo, you have no power in you. I doubt you'll make it alive before my first drill ends."
"So? At least I tried." The boy smiled as the dragon raised its eyebrow and smirked
"You're a courageous, compassionate young boy. Fine I shall teach you the ways of the Water Dragon."
End Flashback
Aquos roared loudly as another dragon soon roared. Aquos smiled a little as it closed its eyes as a giant, dark energy approached the blue dragon.
Now Listen my boy. When I first met you, there was nothing special about you. You were just like any other regular boy. There was nothing extraordinary aura from you. There was no legends about your coming and you weren't destined to do great things. I leave you with everything that I have taught you. There are no riches waiting for you. There isn't any secrets about you. You are you and nothing more than a compassionate, courageous boy. The dragon smiled, a tear falling out its eye But do not worry my son. There is no path set out for you, so anything you accomplish, anything you become… It will all truly be your own.
The blue dragon once again roared as the giant dark magic energy crashed down the dragon, obliterating the forest and ultimately greatly injuring the dragon.
Duryn… My last wish is… That you can find your family and live happily no matter who you are. The dragon heaved it's final breath, slowly closing it's eyes as death had fallen onto it.
Duryn felt a shock in his body, listening to the dragon's last words as he turned around in the direction towards the forest.
"A-Aquos!" The young boy cried out, beginning to run towards the direction of the forest.
I am proud of you. A voice echoed through the boy's head, stopping him in his track as he covered his eyes with his arm, wiping away the tears.
"I won't let you down, Aquos." Duryn smiled and turned back once more, walking away from the forest's direction.
