Phantom Dragon

(Tower of heaven, 9 years before start of original canon)

Jellal POV

'I heard the sounds of chains clanking across the floor, before the guard eventually brought or new cellmate to the prison we called home'.

"Haha, welcome to your temporary home kid, you'll make the perfect sacrifice for our god, haha." Jeered an overweight guard, one of the ones who had delivered him to our cell. The boy wore a hooded cloak that covered his face, so that none of us could make out what he looked like.

Without saying a word, the boy walked to the corner and took a seat, he then put his head down in a defeated pose. Only a few moments went by before "Hey kid, what's your name" the question was asked by Wally the only one bold enough to ask the question that was on everyone's mind. "Wally!" Scolded Erza "He's new here, give him some time to adjust!" Wally put his head down. "Sorry Erza". Erza sighed. "Don't apologize to me, apologize to him". Erza pointed in the direction of mysterious newcomer. "Sorry" Wally apologized but the new kid said nothing. "Hey kid!" Shouted Wally "Are you gonna accept my apology, or what jerk!" The hooded child remained silent. "Wally, calm down." Said a worried Erza "Why won't he talk to us." Said Wally quite frustrated at this point. "Wh-what if he hates us." A concerned Shu said in a frightened tone. " What if he can't speak!" Exclaimed Milliana not sounding too concerned for the newcomer, but impressed by her own intelligence.

Finally Rob the eldest of the group by far, approached the boy and placed his hand on the hooded figure's shoulder, with that the mysterious person shot up from his slouched position, then Rob spoke very calmly. "We aren't gonna hurt you young one, can you please remove your hood and speak to us." A few long moments passed but then the hooded boy moved, and slowly removed the hood. It revealed a boy about my age with a normal looking face with the exception of Snow White hair and eyes with red irises. "He's gone" the mysterious boy said in a steady, but sad voice

"He told me, once my training was over he would have to leave, but I didn't want it to be over so soon." The words he said confused all of us in the room "who's gone". Wally asked "Thanis". The new boy said which didn't really answer the question. "Who is Thanis?" Asked Simon with his arms crossed, it was the first thing he had said since the boy arrived. "Thanis is a Dragon, he is the Dragon who raised me, and taught me how to use Magic" said the boy still sitting in the corner not making eye contact with anyone. "Y-your father was a Dr-dragon!" Screamed Shu in fright. "Not my father, my mentor all we did was train, but he still cared for me, and I for him". The boy answered. I had finally had enough confusion.

I walked over to him kneeled down and looked him in the eyes and asked "what is your name" I said as seriously as possible. He looked me right back in the eyes and said "Mason, Mason Drogo".

***Author Notes***

Whew. This is my first story so can you go easy on me. And please tell me if you like this because I do. I don't really know the fairytail timeLine but, I do have a reason for Thanis leaving 2 years before any other dragon, but mason is still 10 years old like natsu was. Fun fact Drogo is derived of the word drog which is Anglo-Saxon for ghost or phantom but it is cool because it kinda sounds almost like dragon. Thanks for reading and I'm probably gonna make a second chapter pretty soon because I like what I have planned for this character
