Prologue:

The young boy slowly opened his eyes and looked around at the sight in front of him. Instead of waking up in his warm bed, he was lying in the middle of what seemed to be a forest. That was completely covered by millions of trees. The young boy around the age of three stood up and looked around, his light pink hair falling in front of his eyes.

"M-mummy? Daddy?" The young boy called out looking around to see if he could see his parents, the last thing he remembered was going to bed. The boy looked around with more panic now, he didn't like being left alone, in fact didn't like wasn't enough, he hated being left all alone. His parents knew that so much already. The young boy then started running in a direction shouting all through the forest to try and find his parents. Unaware that he was being followed and watched by a young wizard.

The wizard sighed as he saw the young boy get up and run from where he had left him. The man decided he would let the young boy wear himself out looking for his parents. The man walked over to were the two bodies were. He had arrived onto the scene to see a town being attacked and the only survivors were the parents and the young boy.

The man could sense powerful magic coming from the young boy, but the creature had caught up to the parents and started to attack, they left the young boy hidden in the bush while the failed at stopping the creature and were killed themselves. The creature ran off into the night to search for the boy unaware that the man had used his own magic to hide the boy.

The man finished burying the boy's parents. "Don't you worry I will protect him as much as I can." The man promised then went to find the young boy.

The young boy had grown tired of running and shouting for his mum and dad. He sat down in front of a tree and curled himself into a ball. The young boy felt his eye lids start to close as he felt himself drift off into sleep.

The man found the young boy fast asleep, the man smiled and picked up the young boy and started walking to the place the man promised to meet the giant beast. "Don't worry, you will be safe." The man said smiling sightly.

He arrived at the darker part of the forest just as the giant beast flew down and gracefully landed on the ground, turning into his human form. "Are you sure about this?" The beast asked taking the young boy from the man. "I'm positive, now lay him on the ground so I can deal with this properly." The man said and the beast gently placed the boy on the ground as the mans hands started glowing.

"You sure he's the one?" The beast asked as the man placed his glowing hands on the boys cheek. "Yes, I'm sure this time now please hold him." The man said as he concentrated all his power onto the boy. The boy started groaning and tried to move away but the beast held him down. Soon enough the boy stopped moving as the man finished transferring and locking away a special power.

"I leave the rest to you Igneel." The man said standing up and walking away from the beast. "Zeref you will help this boy later?" Igneel asked, Zeref turned around and smiled. "When the time is right." He said and then left leaving Igneel with the young boy.

The young boy started to stir in his sleep. "Mummy?" The boy mumbled. Igneel sighed and turned back into his true form just as the boy was waking up. The young boy sat up from sitting on the grass and his jaw dropped to the ground and the sight before him.

Because standing there, right in front of him was a red dragon. The boy couldn't find any words to say, he had never seen a dragon before. "Do not be afraid, I rescued you. My name is Igneel." The dragon said bowing its head. "I-Ignwel?" The boy said trying to say the dragons name properly.

"What is you're name?" Igneel asked as the young boy walked over to him. "Natswu." The boy said smiling. "Last name?" Igneel asked and Natsu just stood there staring at him, trying to figure out what in the world he just said.

"Don't worry about that for now." Igneel said as Natsu ran over and held onto him. "Ignwel." He said smiling. Igneel smiled back, he knew it wouldn't be so hard to train the young bot to become a dragon slayer and be able to control the power Zeref gave him, but the thought still worried Igneel, he knew the dragon Acnologia would find out about what he is doing very soon and would have to make sure Natsu would be safe when that time came.

-flashback-

"It should take you four years to train the boy well enough, then leave when you feel the presence of Acnologia, understand Igneel? If it's too hard for you to explain to the boy, then leave when you know he won't know, but make sure he is safe understand?" Zeref said turning to Igneel and Igneel nodded. "Don't worry I understand, it should be easy to tell the boy. Now we have to find him correct?" Igneel said and Zeref nodded his head. "Yes. That is what we have to do." Zeref said and turned away continuing his journey to search for the boy who will end all this.

-End of flashback-

It's been four years and the presence of Acnologia is getting strong, Igneel had formed a strong bond with Natsu and couldn't bare to tell him the fate that had been decided, so in the middle of the night, Igneel took Natsu to a safe forest and left without a trace, the last thing he done was gave Natsu a kiss on the forehead and left his adopted son behind a white scarf so the boy knew Igneel would always be close by him, making sure that he would not be captured.

"Igneel!" The seven year old Natsu shouted runnign through the forest trying to find his father, the young boy tripped over tree roots, rocks, sticks even the ground getting the scarf he had gotten from Igneel dirty each time he hit the ground.

Trying to hold the tears back but not working Natsu shouted all through the forest trying to find his father when he felt himself getting a little light headed as he tripped and fell on his head. Natsu just lay the on the ground crying for his father. "Igneel. Where did you go!?" He cried curling up into a ball on the ground.

The small old man was on his way back from his meeting with the other guild masters, when he heard that the village near him was going to be in trouble, so being nice he would help them, as he walked towards the village near him he could hear sniffling.

"Hello?" The elder called out walking towards the sniffling, the man walked into the opening to see a young boy around the age of seven curled into a ball crying. The man slowly walked over and placed his hand on the young boys shoulder.

The boy looked up, with tears in his olive eyes, "H-have you seen my dad?" He asked and the old man sighed, "I don't think I have, what is your fathers name?" He asked and the boy sat up and hugged the little old man.

"H-his name is Igneel." The boy said still crying. "I haven't seen him." The old man said. The boy moved away from the old man. "He left me here all alone in the forest, I don't know where he went though." The boy said and the old man sighed. 'I guess I have no choice.' He thought.

"Come with me then boy, are you a wizard?" He asked and the boy looked at him tilting his head. "Let me rephrase that, can you use a special power?" He asked and the boy nodded eagerly and made his hand become covered in flames.

"My daddy taught it to me, he's a dragon." The boy said happily, the old man took a step back in shock, 'So this boy is a dragon slayer.' He thought and smiled at the boy. "My name is Makarov what's yours?" He asked and the boy looked up. "My name is Natsu, Gramps." The boy said happily.

"Then come with me, I am a master of the guild Fairy Tail, I will take you with me if you like?" Makarov said and the boy nodded grabbing his hand and the two walked towards the village unaware of the sight they would see.

"Ultear! Get Lyon and Gray out of here!" A woman shouted as the monster fired yet another strange green beam towards the building. "But mum!" The girl shouted before her mum pushed the girl back into the house as the creature fired a beam towards them.

The girl was not sure if her mum was okay or not, but she had to get her brothers away. The girl ran into the kitchen to see her two younger siblings huddled together in a corner. "Lyon, Gray. Mum said we have to leave now!" The girl said running over to them and pulling the snowy white hair boy away from the raven hair boy.

The raven hair boy grabbed his older sister and brothers hands as they pulled him up. "Ultear, where is mummy?" The boy asked his older sister, Ultear had tears in her eyes, she knew what happened to her mum, she could have guessed it when the creature fired that beam towards them.

"I don't know Gray." She said looking down. Gray tightened his grip on his brothers hand and looked over at him. "Lyon where are we going?" He asked his darks blue eyes showing tears of not wanting to leave their mother behind. The white hair boy sighed.

"Away from here Gray." He said not wanting to tell his little brother everything, the three of them ran to the top of the hill where they saw a small old man with a young boy with light pink hair. "you three come with me I will keep you safe." The man said turning away and the three followed the man.

Gray regretted looking back as he saw his mum turning to ice around the creature. He shook Lyon's hand and pointed back wards. Lyon grabbed Gray and ran after the old man and boy with Ultear close behind them. Not knowing what the future had in store for the three of them.

Or what the future held for Gray and Natsu.

Hope you all enjoyed the prologue, I will try and make the next chapter just as long, or longer :D
