That's enough out of me go ahead and see what's happened to the dragons ten years after the first flight in 'Dragon's Sanctuary'

Dragon's Sanctuary

Chapter 1

The attack

Grandeeney P.O.V.

It's been 10 years. 10 years since we first saw our kids again. 10 years since we destroyed our trackers. 10 years since Master Makarov of Fairy Tail gave us Tenrou Island as sanctuary. 10 years since the first mating pair flew, and it's time for the pair to fly again.

We're sitting at the lake in the middle of the island well all of us female dragons at least. The males are off doing something or another and the hatchlings are playing in the caves on the cliff.

Next to me sits a golden dragoness with a black insignia on her right front paw. She's catching up on some sleep after her mate flew her for the past week. Next to her sits a slightly larger white female who's talking to a smaller blue scaled dragoness that has iron gray eyes.

Across the lake sit 3 other dragonesses. A purple dragoness of moderate size is slapping the water with her paw, while a darker almost black dragoness is talking to another white dragoness that has yellow scales splotched across her sides.

We're just sitting there enjoying the sun until we hear a "Look out below." We look up to see a brilliant red dragon dive bombing the lake, when he hits the water he disappears for several minutes before he finally resurfaces.

"Did you hit the bottom this time Natsu?" I ask the the red dragon as he reaches shore. He shakes the water off earning glares from the blue and white dragons next to me.

"Ten years of doing it and I still can't touch it." He says as he pads over to the golden dragoness beside me.

I chuckle before saying "Lucy's fine Natsu why don't you go check on you hatchlings they went off towards Acnologia's cave and you know just as well as I do that at this time of day he's sleeping and doesn't want to be bothered."

The he dragon shudders as we remember the last time the black dragon's slumber was interrupted, then he takes off after his hatchlings.

The white dragon next to Lucy turns to me and says "Grandeeney do you think he noticed?" I shake my head and say "No Mira he won't notice for a few more hours." Then the blue dragon speaks up "What that Lu-chan is pregnant again?"

I nod and say "Levy how are you and Gajeel doing with your twins?" She smirks and says "Gajeel has hatchling chasing duty until we get home." We look over at the cliff to see a blackish grey dragon glide down and when he gets close we can see a miniature blue and blackish gray dragon nestled between his wings.

"Hey shrimp, I found the twins they were trying to eat Dad's metal stash." Levy rolls her eyes before reaching up and gently grabbing the hatchlings and laying them in between her front paws.

"I'm guessing all the males are on hatchling duty?" I say loud enough to be heard across the clearing, and all the females nod an affirmative.

When everyone goes back to talking a flash of lightning strikes the ground closer to the forest.

Once the glare goes away it reveals 3 dragons. Mira gets up and walks to the lightning dragon saying "Hi honey how is everything with the Magic Council?"

He snorts saying "The Magic Council is driving me crazy with about protecting Tenrou. I don't know how Gramps did it all those years ago."

She licks his snout and says "Don't worry you'll figure it out. Hello Igneel, Metalicana." The fire and metal dragons nod before walking to the lake for a drink.

Igneel raises his head and says "Where's Natsu and the hatchlings?"

"Long story short he's trying to make sure the hatchlings don't wake up Acnologia." I say and he shudders before walking to his cave and yelling "All light and shadow dragons and hatchlings out before I burn your scaly hides."

Sure enough two shadow dragons, two light dragons and four hatchlings run out laughing. Igneel turns his head latching on to Weisslogia's tail and slams him to the ground. "Alright what did you do this time?" The elder light dragon just grins and says "You'll see"

Igneel growls and gets ready to pounce on the light dragon when three warning roars are heard from above. We look up to see Natsu, the black dragon, and a purple dragon flying towards us with speed.

When they land the black dragon says "Poachers have breached the barrier all hatchlings need to get to the treehouse. Grandeeney, Igneel, Metalicana, Weisslogia, Skiadrum see to it and take the pregnant dragoness with you. The rest have to stay down here and fight."

The dragonesses nod and start piling hatchlings on our backs. Igneel takes Natsu's triplets, Metalicana takes Gajeel's twins, Weisslogia and Skiadrum take Sting's and Rogue's twins while I take Kinana's hatchling and Mira's twins.

Once they're loaded and secure we take off for the top of the tree. We land on branches able to take our weight and watch throughout the day as they fend off the poachers. I look next to me to see Lucy trembling.

"Lucy it's alright, they'll win this battle just as they won the others." She smiles and nods. "Natsu's having fun he just wishes we were there with them, and how come he had to find out from Acnologia I'm pregnant." She says repeating what's coming across their link.

I laugh and say "It's noticeable already we were hoping for him to notice before someone said anything."

She grins but it quickly melts into a frown and she says "Oh no Sting and Rogue have been caught, Levy and Mira are tag teaming but something's wrong their attacks aren't working."

Then we see Acnologia fly up and he roars "Flee for the Fairies, flee for the tigers get the hatchlings out of here."

We can tell what he's going to do so we take flight heading for Magnolia and the Fairies. When we're past the barrier we look back to see the black dragon activate Fairy Sphere locking away all on the island for seven more years.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Lucy start to turn back and I say "No Lucy, they're alive he just activated Fairy Sphere. We will see them again." She looks at the spot where the island was but quickly catches up to me.

She takes on a determined look and says "Lets head to Fairy Tail and from there we can tell Sabertooth."

Once we reach Magnolia Igneel lets out a roar that brings the entire guild out. When we land we're tired but Igneel tells the acting master, Erza "Poachers attacked the island Acnologia activated Fairy Sphere."

Erza nods and we lay down so that the hatchlings can be taken inside, then she turns to me and says "Why is Lucy with you, surely she would have stayed and fought."

I shake my head saying "She's pregnant again, it's for the best she fled. As it is she won't have her mate for seven years and that will affect her, she needs her family for support."

Then what Aconoliga said crosses my mind and I add "YOu need to warn Sabertooth to be ready to fight when the island rises again. While none of the pairs had been killed several were caught."

Erza nods and once the hatchlings are unloaded I urge Lucy up and Igneel and I take her to the quarry Igneel found her and Natsu at 10 years ago.

When we land I say "This is just until mating season is over, if you want I can stay with you." She shakes her head and says "It's fine but it feels like I'm missing half my soul, I didn't know I relied on his touch so much. Be it our link or physical."

I lay my snout against her side and say "He's alive, he may be reckless but he wouldn't do something that would hurt you by hurting himself."

She looks at me and says "Yea you're right, Thank you Grandeeney I think I'll go lay down and get some sleep."

I nod and say "I'll be back with some food for you later." Before opening my wings and taking off for Magnolia and Fairy Tail.

When I land I take human form and walk into the guild hall to see chaos. Without a dragoness around the hatchlings are going crazy so I take control and shout "Dragons and Hatchling front and center."

All the chaos stops and all the hatchlings and dragons appear in front of me. I start with the fire dragons saying "Igneel I need you to keep an eye on Lucy while I sort some details out. I told her I'll be by in a few hours with some food so find a perch where you can watch her."

He nods and takes off then I turn to the hatchlings. "Luna, Nashi, and Ryu you are the oldest so I need you to behave. Your mother is going through a tough time and we don't need you doing anything that will make her worry. Now for the next three and a half months Master Erza will appoint a guardian for each of you."

I look up to see Erza nodding knowing what I'm asking. "Don't cause any trouble for your guardian and everything should be ok. Do you understand me?"

They nod saying "Yes Auntie Grandee" I turn to the metal dragons and say "Metalicana you're in charge of Gale and Silver." The elder dragon just nods his head a serious look on his face.

Next up are the shadow and light dragons but I don't need to say anything as Weisslogia says "Don't worry we'll take care of these four."

I look around for my daughter only to find her in Romeo's lap. When will she claim him? I have no clue. "Wendy" She perks up at the sound of her name and walks over.

"Yes mother?" I look her over before saying "I need you to watch Kinana's hatchling. Can you do it?"

She smiles and says "Yes mother I'll take care of Jasmine." I nod and say "I'll take care of Elektra and Takashi." I look over to see Mira's twins playing together.

Since it's still mating season all the hatchlings are in their beast form and as Lucy's first set of triplets have yet to turn 10 they are as well, but this is the last year they turn before they remain human until they find their mates.

"Listen up one more thing we must stay close to Fairy Tail for the hatchlings sake am I understood?" I say eyeing the elder dragons and the three guardians appointed for Lucy's first clutch.

When everyone nods I walk over and separate Elektra and Takashi before walking over to Erza. "Why did you choose those three as guardians?" Wanting to make sure her reasons are justified.

"I chose Gray and Juvia to take care of Ryu seeing as he likes to play with fire, and they are water and ice mages. The other reason is that his father and Gray are almost like brothers." I look over to see the couple keeping a close eye on red hatchling as he wrestles with Nashi.

"For Luna I chose Lisanna and Bickslow as once again Lisanna and Natsu are close friends and she's the most tame out of the three." I find her laying down in a corner near her guardians.

"And for Nashi, well that one was a bit tougher, she's louder, more stubborn, more willing to get into fights and above all she takes after father so I asked Elfman, Evergreen, and Master Makarov to watch her."

I look at her in surprise and she says "Even though Master handed the title of Master to Laxus he is still one of the strongest in the nation meaning he'll be able to handle anything Nashi's dragon form and her personality in general can throw out."

I nod before saying "Good choice" Then she looks at me and says "How is Lucy taking the separation?" I shake my head knowing exactly what she means.

"It's gonna be a long seven years for that dragoness. While Natsu is on the island their link is severed meaning she's going to feel more alone so in a few hours I'm gonna take Mira's hatchlings and stay with her through the pregnancy."

Erza nods and we talk for a little while more before I say "I'm going hunting while the twins are asleep it shouldn't take me long."

As I walk towards the door I hear Erza say "Very well happy hunting."

While I'm flying I can't help but wonder how Lucy is doing so I tilt my wings and quietly fly over the quarry looking for a certain red scaled hide. Finally I find him on a mountain not too far away watching the cave in the quarry.

When I land I don't say anything so Igneel says "She's not doing so well. I've watched her ignite the floor of the cave three times now and still she won't settle."

I frown and think for a minute before saying "When I get back with the kills, fly back to the guild and pick up the lightning twins. I don't want to leave Lucy alone any longer then I have to."

He nods and I take off again and quickly manage to find enough dear for us to eat. This time when I fly back to the quarry I land in front of the cave. I look at the mountain to see Igneel stretch before taking off.

I transform and slowly walk into the cave and a frown takes over my face when I see that in just the few hours she's been here her scales have lost the shine and her eyes are glazed.

When she lifts her head she says quietly "Natsu?" I give a sad smile and say "No dear it's Grandeeney how are you feeling?" She frowns and shakes her head before laying her snout on her paws not bothering to answer.

I look back at the entrance when I hear flapping only to see Igneel and the twins walk into the cave. Igneel stops by me but the twins rush forward saying "Auntie Lucy are you alright? Where are Mama and Papa and where is Uncle Natsu? He said he was gonna do some tricks for us."

Lucy lifts her head giving a small smile and says "I'm alright just hungry and as for your Mama and Papa and Natsu they had to go and fight. They'll be gone for a little while but they'll return. I can show you some tricks if you would like."

The twins wiggle with joy before laying down next to Lucy and watching as she blows shapes of fire out of her nose. The final shape she does breaks my heart as I remember ten years back. Back to when they found out they were pregnant the first time.

~Flashback~

Natsu and I could both tell Lucy was getting overly worried about the prospect of them being pregnant. Before I say anything Natsu lays his snout on her paws and when she looks down he gives her the puppy eyes.

Once she calms down Natsu lifts his head and blows a flame out over the water. The flame slowly takes the shape of half a heart, and Lucy smiles before blowing one of her own flames completing the heart.

Then the male dragon says ""Luce don't forget I'm here with you always, never assume you have to do this alone."

~End Flashback~

As I'm standing there I can see the memories flash across her eyes. Before she gets anymore lost in memories I say "It's alright dear he is still there." She looks at me and realizes that we were thinking the same thing.

Lucy swipes her paw through the air wiping away the flame saying "I won't do that one again until he can complete it. He and I both learned that one can't do it without the other that's why at the lake all those years ago I finished it because we knew even then that we're only half without the other."

She takes a deep breath and licks her chops saying "Is that fresh deer I smell?" I nod before saying "Why don't you come out and eat I have enough for all of us although you, Igneel, may only have one."

He sputters and says "Why?" I glare at him and say "Because you can hunt just as well as Shadow and Light." He snorts before crossing his arms and saying "Fine"

I look over when I hear huffing to see Lucy trying to hide a laugh and a smile. "Elektra, Takashi aren't you two hungry?" I say looking at the twins. They jump up and say "Come on Auntie Lucy lets go eat."

Lucy chuckles and says "I'm coming." before standing up and leading the way out of the cave and over to the pile of deer. Igneel and I split up the pile giving two to Lucy, one to the twins to share and one for each of us.

After we eat Igneel takes off for the guild to inform Erza of the change in Lucy's mood and to check in on his grandkids. Meanwhile we walk back into the cave for a well deserved night's sleep.

~Three and a half months later~

Lucy and I are at the guild watching the hatchlings run around. The transformation has long since worn off and with it the possibility of the guild being destroyed completely.

For the past three months Erza has been talking to the temporary Master of Sabertooth trying to figure out what will happen when Tenrou rises from the deep again. I freeze when a scent hits my nose and not a minute later Lucy cries out.

The other dragons gather up the hatchlings while I help Lucy to the infirmary. After twelve exhausting hours and Lucy calling Natsu every name in the book, Lucy gives birth to triplets, two boys and a girl.

Once all has calmed down I say to Lucy "What are gonna name them?" She pauses for a second before holding up the boy in her arms and says "He will be Kasai Nex Dragneel." I nod seeing as the boy's hair looks like fire.

The next boy has blond hair and emerald green eyes. "This one is Taiyo Cole Dragneel" and finally the girl, she has blonde hair with pink and red streaks that look like embers. "She is Ember Nova Dragneel." She finishes quietly.

"Those are all really good names, Natsu will be so proud when he sees his children again." She just nods.

"Well I'll leave you to get some rest. I'll be back in a few hours with some food." I say as I quietly walk out the door. When I get to the bar Erza has a leather bound book open to a page and she's holding a pen.

"What are their names?" She says excitedly. I give a big smile and say "She's really gone fire themed on these hatchlings. The eldest boy is Kasai, the second boy is Taiyo, and the youngest girl is Ember."

Erza nods and gives a sad smile. "She really misses him doesn't she?" I nod before saying "Erza a mates bond is stronger than even a celestial contract. A mates bond is essentially two halves of one soul. You've lost your right eye before. Is it easier to live with just one eye or for you to have both eyes to see the world around you?"

She pauses before saying "I see what you mean. I guess we never really understood how deep a bond like that is."

I sigh before saying "What makes it worse is that the bond that Lucy and Natsu have is extremely rare even among dragons. To know that your other half is alive, but unable to touch him, see him, or even smell him can sometimes drive a dragon crazy."

I pause and look in the direction of the infirmary before saying "That's why I haven't left her side this whole time. Even though I'm not Natsu as long as she's not alone we'll be able to keep her safe until the island appears again and we can get rid of the poachers."

Erza perks up and says "Speaking of poachers. Minerva and I have devised a plan, from what the others have told us, when the island rises everyone will be out cold so while we wake the dragons, Sabertooth will be tracking down the poachers."

I smile and say "That could work but for right now we just have to wait." She nods and I go back upstairs to check on Lucy and the newborns.

Alright you know the deal. Follow, Fav and Review to get more. Let me know what you want to see. And hey if you have any ideas for other stories let me know.

Grizzly out for the night.

P.S. Haven't worked out a schedule yet since I have two other stories going as well but don't worry you'll still see the dragons at least twice a week.
