Chapter 1 ~ just a dream

Year X793: intro

Natsu's mind was in a state of unrest. The sound of the approaching storm rumbled in the distance as he lay awake in his hammock envisioning all that had come to pass since he had fist stepped foot in Magnolia. He had just been a young boy lost and alone in this world; every step he took was in hopes of one day finding his father Igneel. So much had happened since then; he had gained a new family and established a new home for himself in hopes of one day shearing it with his father. Yet, he could never have imagined that it all would've been taken away. He remembered feeing so happy and conflicted that day, it had taken so long to find his old man only to lose the dragon once more. Natsu sighed; he could hardly believe that it's been nearly three years since it all happened. He'd left his home and all he knew only to return to magnolia to find he had lost so much more than just Igneel. He could still remember the feeling of devastation, hurt, anger and loss upon his retune. So much had changed when arrived back home he discovered magnolia was left to crumble and die, Fairy Tail's was disbanded and his family was scattered across Fiore.

Everything he had ever known was gone, all thanks to the devastating power of Tartaros. The events of that day caused such destruction in its wake that it developed and festered into a deep wound in the hearts of everyone within magnolia; one that many believed would never be healed. After all So much had been lost that day, and a lot had yet to be fixed. Natsu remember his anger that day as he looked at his destroyed guild hall believing he had to do just that, he had to pick up the pieces and fix what had been destroyed. He knew it would take time but in his mind nothing was more important than getting his family back. Smiling to himself at the memories of those past years, he let sleep take him at the storm passed over, listening to the rain as lulled him to sleep. But this was not what had really been plaguing the fire dragon Slayer, no it was a whole norther matter that would soon send the lives of Fairy Tail into chaos.

*flash back*

Natsu had arrived home after being away for a year to train his new powers, only to find his entire world had dissolved. His home was missing, his family scattered across Fiore and his Lucy was gone. He knew he would do anything to get it all back. So when he final found a lead to the celestial mages whereabouts, Natsu didn't even give it a second thought. Yet even after he found her, the truth became transparent on just how broken things really had become. The sadness and longing in her eyes had broken his heart, when she had explained the truth about fariy tail and Aquarius. With every word that left the celestial mages beautiful lips, became another dagger into his heart as the sinking realisation hit Natsu hard knowing he had lost Lucy's trust and love, He had fucked up big time. The moment he chose to leave her behind she was lost to him. But Natsu being Natsu he refused to give up, he would fix this even if it killed him. He would win her back.

So he did the only thing he could think of, which just so happened to be him setting the royal place on fire with the giant words fairy tail as a way to call out to all his family. Laughing at what he had done and causing some damage as he fled from the place guards, Natsu ran as fast as he could back to Lucy's new apartment to find the blond celestial mage already out the front with Happy and a pissed off look on her face. Taking her hand in his he just laughed pulling her with him; together they were going to find their missing family. It had taken Lucy, Happy and Natsu awhile, but they managed to find everyone and bring them home, luckily for Natsu Erza hadn't killed him for his little stunt at the palace. It was then with everyone's help they rebuilt the guild hall and help fix the town. Time seemed to fly by and some months later the guild had returned to its old self again, like nothing had happened and before anyone knew it, it was a new year and the young dragon would soon be celebrating his 20th year.

*end flash back*

~ Normal pov ~

It was raining hard the night Natsu Dragneel woke to the sound of thunder. Once again he found himself breathing heavily and covered in sweat after waking from his dream; it'd been the exact same one that had been tormenting him for the past few weeks. The dream kept replayed in his head, the same thing over and over again, it never changed. Just the same pair of eyes shrouded in darkness, looking deep into his own. Even when he was awake he still thought of them. All he could envision day in and day out was those strange but mesmerising eyes.

Letting out a sigh Natsu began to look around his room listening to the sound of the rain "Igneel, why wouldn't you tell me what these dreams mean." The young fire dragon whispered to himself as he laid wake.

Natsu had been suffering from this dream since his 19th birthday last year. It all started when Lucy and happy had surprised him with a trip to Hargeon to celebrate. They had gotten a fancy hotel room and he had suggested to visit were they first meet. It was his way of trying to fix his and the celestial mages relationship. It was going to be perfect. Like nothing had even changed between the two of them. And for the most part he was right; they talked, they laughed, travelled the town and ate at the restaurant Lucy had first shouted them lunch. He was happy, yet sadly his happiness didn't last.

It was later that day, when Lucy and Natsu were alone it all fell apart. He had wanted to kiss her to tell he how he felt but every time had had tried he just couldn't, it felt wrong somehow. He thought it was just something he ate so he just ignored it. But the nagging felling wouldn't go away. So he decided to wait and tell her later, after all why rush this hen he had just managed to fix things. Exhausted from a day of fun they had all turned in for the night, falling into sleeps sweet embrace with a smile on their faces. And that's when the first dream came. At first it was nothing, just a stupid dream, something he could forget. But Natsu soon learned that he was so wrong. As the year pasted by Natsu's dreams became more frequent and less vivid, to the point where he was having the same dream every night. At first he tried to pass it off as nothing but as time went on he began to realise maybe this was something more than just a dream. Lucy had noticed the change in the fire dragon and had offered to help him but nothing she did worked. They had searched for answers but found nothing that is until Igneel decided to appear in one of his dreams.

Letting out a deep sigh Natsu looked over to his little buddy Happy, the feline was still sound a sleep with a smile on his face. "... fishy..." Happy mumbled cuddling further into a fish shaped pillow Lucy had gotten the exceed for his birthday last year. Chuckling Natsu shook his head at his friend 'Seems like, he's having a good dream.' The fire dragon slayer thought to him-self as he raised his right arm to cover his eyes, slowly losing him-self to his thoughts. Natsu was exhausted, so he began listening to the rain outside, trying to calm his mind. It wasn't working out to well, as hard as the fire dragon slayer tried, he couldn't get those eyes out of his head. It was exasperating.

Natsu rocked in his hammock for a while longer thinking of his dream with Igneel. Slowly the young dragon fell back to sleep not knowing that this time his dream would change everything.

FLASHBACK/ Igneel's dream:

Natsu found himself sitting in the middle of a secluded field, but to him this was no ordinary place. No, this was his home; it was Where Igneel had raised him. The young dragon slowly stood up, not knowing when he got here or why he was sitting down in the first place and began looking at his surroundings. Natsu began to make his way across the field, focusing on the huge cavern just to side of the clearing.

That's when he saw them, two large golden eyes staring as he approached. The closer Natsu got, the more he began to grin. The young dragon knew those eyes or more specifically who those eyes belong to. After all, how could he ever forget the powerful golden eyes of his own father. "Long time no see old man." Natsu said stopping at the mouth of the cavern in front of a huge red fire-breathing dragon.

"Well good to see you haven't changed much ya little shit." Igneel said mocking his son, while letting out a hot puff of air from his nostrils the warm air greeted the young dragon in a soft embrace. Igneel slowly moved his head to get a better look at his boy. "Are you still as hot headed as I remember? Fists a blazing, diving in head first into a fight." Igneel said sceptically while he raised one of his large scaly eyebrows. Leaning back on his feet the young dragon puts both of his hands behind the back of his head before giving his father his signature grin. "You know it dad.. a dragon never backs down from a fight." The boy stated proudly.

Booming laughter surrounded the two as dragon king looked down at his boy, he should have known. His son had always been implosive and no amount of time would ever change that. He was his son after all. Even if he prayed that one day the boy might mature, even just a little. Upon further inspection of his child Igneel felt a sense of pride, he was transforming into a magnificent young dragon, yet as he looked at Natsu the more he started to notice that he was no longer the boy that he was forced to leave all those years ago. Now the boy was gone and replaced with a strong confident young man. Natsu Dragneel the fire dragon prince had become almost everything Igneel could have ever hoped for; even know Natsu had yet to go through his biggest change of all.

Natsu smiled, watching as his father's eyes kept skimming over him. It was hard not to laugh at his dad when the old dragon got lost to his own inner thoughts. It was something his old man did a lot of when he was a kid, mostly when Igneel has something important on his mind.

Scratching his scaled chin Igneel looked at his son. 'Maybe it's time. He should be coming of age soon and he needed to be told,… then again….' the dragon king was starting to feel nervous, No matter how much he loved his son, Igneel knew how impatient and implosive his boy could be. This topic could end up being very awkward and long for the both of them, depending on how much the kid remembered. After all he was only a hatchling when he left. Breathing out a puff of warm air and smoke, and clearing his throat, he spoke. "Natsu... sit down. I have something important to discuss with you, Things I wasn't able to tell you while you were still a just hatchling."

Natsu couldn't help the pout as he had wanted to challenge his old man to a fight not sit down of another useless lesson but he knew what that tone of voice meant. "We have lot of stuff to cover and little time So Natsu don't interrupt and you can ask me questions at the end. Agreed?" Igneel said sternly. Sensing the demanding and stern tone of his father's voice Natsu nodded in agreement, "sure thing pops." Natsu sat on the ground crossing his legs and putting his hands in his lap, looking back up into the fire dragon's eyes as to show his father he had his full attention. Igneel tried not to laugh at the boys sitting position. It hadn't changed since he was a little. Nodding and cleaning his throat again Igneel began.

"So Natsu I assume you know about purity and sex.. yes?" A pink tinge shadowed across the young man's cheeks, "Fuck old man, I may seem dense but I'm not stupid, Gramps gave all the guys that talk years ago… you don't need to go there." Coughing the dragon silently thanked Makarov. 'Glad that's covered' he thought, continuing Igneel tried to cover the embarrassment in his voice, "well that's good.. then that's one less thing to explain. Do you also remember our lessons on the dragon hierarchy and about what a mate is?" Once again the boy's checks turned as pink as his hair but nodded back to his father. "Yer, I remember." He mumbled trying to hide his embarrassment, Yer he so rather be fighting then having this conversation.

"Good . This will make this a lot easier, you see Natsu purity for dragons is slightly different for dragons, its mostly the same but with some added extras." Igneel tried not to laugh at the boys discomfort as he continued "When a hatchling* becomes a young dragonling*. It will only gain half of its true power and then slowly gains more as it ages and gains strength. When a Dragonling finally reaches its full maturity, it's called a drake* or dragoness*. So in your case maturity is anywhere between the ages of 19 and 25 it different for each dragon." Igneel looked at his son to see excitement and intrigue so he continued.

"At this stage you will be able to access your full power potential, all dragons it at this age are eventually able to access their Draco-heart, the Ultimate power. It's also at this stage that all dragons imprint his or her mark in the hierarchical system of the nest demonstrating their power and dominance as an alpha, beta, delta, gamma or omega by fighting with the other young dragons. For males this is not only for their place in the nest but for the right to mate with a strong dragoness. If there is no pre-established Alpha in the nest the males and females will fight to choose a worthy candidate. After an alpha is chosen, the females will leave to establish an all-female nest to get ready for their mating season. While the males stay behind to strengthen their bond, as well as prepare for their own season. The males will also fight a lot during this time for various reasons. The main reason being the right to choose, a strong and beautiful mate. Do you understand me so far my son."

Grinning Natsu jumped to his feet, excitement bubbling under his skin as he lets loose a roar whilst raising his lit fists in the air. "I'm all fired up. Finally, I'm gonna be able to kick Sparky, ice princess and Metal face's asses. It's going to be so awesome." Sweat dropping the dragon just shakes his head 'of course he only pays attention to the part about getting stronger and fighting.'

"NATSU.. SIT." Igneel growls I warning, regaining his sons attention. Looking towards his father Natsu quickly drops to the ground, with an "Aye sir " he retakes his comfortable position, acting like he never moved in the first place. Sighing Igneel continues, looking intensely at his son, "As I was saying you will gain new power, strength, and agility and you'll be able to access Draco-heart. As a drake your power will increase 10 fold. Your dragon-force changes to become what's known as drake form, and you undergo a change in appearance. Your body will take on the likeness of a dragon, wings, tale, horns, scales, fangs ect. BUT..." Natsu's eyes flashed with excitement. "So you're telling me I CAN FLY, THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE TO TAKE A TRAIN AGAIN AND I GET WILL GET STRONGER AND MORE POWER... NOW I'VE GOT A FIRE IN MY BELLY." Natsu shouted excitedly as he jumped up once again while shooting flames towards the sky.

"FOR FUCK SAKE.. NATSU ...SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP... AND LET ME FINISH." Roared the Dragon King shaking his head once more." "Aye" Natsu squeak cringing a little and sitting down.

"Now where was I...oh right... it's also at this time you will experience your first season. You don't have to claim your mate right away but the longer you wait the more dangerous it can become, for you, the nest and your mate. unlike female dragons, the longer a male waits to mate the more aggressive and hostile they become. the longer you wait the higher the chance you will lose control of this new power. It becomes unstable. To stop this from happening you must find and claim a suitable mate. You seem Natsu, a mate is your other half and you need two halves to make a whole. It is your mate that will keep you balanced by sharing each other's strength. Now this is the really important part my son. The reason you gain all of this power is for the most important reason there is, and that is to protect your mate and defend your nest."

The Great fire dragon king Igneel watched as understanding crossed the boy's face, he could see the look of power and determination in his eyes, the strength in Natsu mussels as he shifted on his spot on the ground. "Draco-heart is believed to be the power to protect a dragons' greatest treasure of all, it's family. To protect its mate, it's hatchlings, to protect the nest, but that's not the only thing Draco-heart is believed to be. It is your inner dragon; Draco-heart is your heart Natsu. Don't ever forget that."

"got it" Natsu said smiling.

"I presume You will have roughly three years tops before you must find and claim your mate otherwise the power will consume you.. this is my warning to you my son." The old Dragon taunted.

"Hey old man, got a question. Why have I been having these wired dreams." Natsu asked his father hoping to finally make so sense of the Dreams.

"I see, when did it start and what happens in this dream my boy." The fire Dragon looks down at his son with curiosity and intrigue.

"Well it started after my 19th birthday. It happened every now and again; then it started happening every night. Ya see I'm in a clearing, hidden by some trees and when I look across to the other side, all I could see were two sets of eyes looking back. One the most beautiful pair of molten chocolate eyes, they kinda looked formulae to me somehow, and the other pair, they were just.. I don't know how to describe them.. Just wow.. After that the brown slowly disappeared and all I see is blue and purple eyes looking back at me, now the dream never changes." Natsu said running a hand through his salmon coloured hair. Igneel began to chuckle then broke out in to a full blown laugh. "God kid, I didn't think ya had it in ya. You will have to wait and see, trust your instincts." The fire dragon said with a shit eating smirk and a knowing look "Good luck with that one Natsu." Pissing himself laughing at the face his son was making, Igneel watched as his son faded from his sight. 'To think he's met his mate-potentials all ready, haha, I can't wait to see how this turns out.'

Then Natsu woke up

~ ? Pov ~

"Watch out Ayame." I yelled as we ran to get away from these losers that had been chasing us for the last few hours. Night had fallen and the forest had become dark to make matters worse It was pissing down with rain, and we were soaked through to the bone.

"For fuck sake, don't these guys understand stand the word quit." I say as I dodged a cloaked figures attack. "That's it, I've had enough of playing with these losers, quick Ayame, hang on to me." I called out in the night as I formed swirling orb in my hand which quickly grows and shrouds everything it touches in a blinding light. I can hear the losers calling out to each other as they lose the ability to see what's around them. I activate one of my powers allowing me to see within the surrounding darkness.

Using this opportunity, I run up to each of the figures and knocked them unconscious with a strong punch to their heads. Once I was sure I had them all I decided to tie them to a tree, lucky for me there were only three of these guys. "Hey don't you think we should have left one awake and find out what they wanted?" Ayame said hovering just behind me as I finished tying the rope.

"Nope, don't really care; as long as they can't follow us it's not important. After all we are only a three week walk from drake valley, I don't have time for these losers and there bullshit." I say giving a chuckle as I shrugged off any worries. "Come on we have a long way to still go" putting my hood of my jacket over my head, I continued on my way leaving behind the three unconscious men. Little did I know that maybe I should have listened to my little lavender coloured friend.

~ Normal POV~

A dark figure sat on a thrown made from the bones of dragons, looking into a lacrima crystal. His eyes shining with amusement as he watched the young girl, fight off his men.

"Very good my precious little pet, fight, become stronger, soon you will be lost to the darkness, it will consume you, and not ever the brightest spark will ignite the fire that once burned in your eyes, fall my beautiful star and become mine." Chuckling filled the dark room as he continued to watch over the girl in the crystal.

Authors notes:

Hey guys I hope you likes my first chapter. This is my first story so pleases review and be kind.

hatchling~ baby dragon / child

Dragonling ~ young / adolescent (teenager)

drake / dragoness ~ adult

So these are some of the changes that I'm going to make to fairy tail.

I'm going to make grey water/ice Dragon slayer (his backstory is he trained with his dragon Mizuki. she left Gray alone and disappeared with the other dragons on the 7th x777. He was found as a baby by silver and his wife who adopted him. When they died grey found Ur and she train him and helped him control his ice dragon magic and then later found his way to fairy tail. Silver was not greys real dad.

Sora is Gary's Exceed, Natsu and Gray both found an egg and had a competition to see who was going to hatch their egg first. Sora is light silver with lavender coloured eyes and she is quit shy, and she is always trying to keep the boys from getting into fights not that it works). And is in charge of collecting gray's cloths.

Second yes the Dragons will still be dead but as the Dragons souls are trapped inside the Dragons slayer kids they can still speak to them in their dreams.

Other than that the events that happened up until chapter 437 will be the same
