The black parchment:
'Igneel talking'
'someone thinking'
"someone talking"
this was put together as I did nothing, it had no planning and its my first so I hope you like it:
Natsu just got back from a tiring mission, Erza knocked him out for the thousandths time and Gray was ranting on about how he was soooo much better than him, when on the mission there was more enemies than he thought and it stressed him out.
Lying on the bar, he started to remember something Igneel said to him when he was young:
'Natsu,my son, sometimes someone gets on your nerves, at times like this try to hold back, but if it gets too bad and you feel like killing him, or her, just say this...'
his memory fades, he remembers the first bit of it but the rest of his mind was hazy, he was just a child after all.
Gray walked up to him, with a really pissed off look on his face,and started ranting:
"You flame-brain! Its your fault for not expecting enemies that I got hurt!"
"...Shut up stripper.." Natsu said with an irritated voice.
Gray jumped at the tone of his voice, Natsu was never like this, he was all ways happy-go-lucky and got straight into a fight, which only meant one thing, Igneel, he was all ways different when it came to him, Gray wondered what he was remembering when suddenly Erza hit Gray and stared her sharp look at Natsu, sending chills down Gray's back. But Natsu just stayed there, looking at the table he sat at, like he was in another world, "Na...Natsu...? What's wrong?" Erza stuttered. Again Natsu was staring into nothingness, Erza tapped his shoulder and suddenly jumped as Natsu looked at her with a piecing gaze. Natsu turned back again muttering something about a black piece of parchment that he forgot when he was a child.
'My son, in case you forget, you all ways have the language of the dragons laid on that parchment, so keep it safe my son, all ways with you, be careful as it holds a terrible magic on it...'
Natsu tried and tried to remember where he left it then it snapped,
He got up and leaned in agony on the counter, he was coughing up blood, but the wasn't the problem, this blood was BLACK, yes, Natsu was coughing up pure black blood, a hand laid on the counter and another on his stomach, grabbing it with all his might to ease the pain, Erza and Gray rushed over with a look of horror on their faces, but as they tried to touch him a dark aura went around him and then he fainted, his eyes pure white as he fell to the ground.
The aura was now gone and Erza rushed over, without thinking of any danger, and checked Natsu's pulse, he was breathing, but only just, as she lifted him up she thought of what he was saying:
"an old parchment? Black? I've never seen such a thing, maybe Levy knows? Gray," Gray felt a chill in his spine and nodded in acknowledgement, and ran to find Levy.
'Son, I repeat, NEVER lose it, that parchment is as black as it is evil, alas I cannot hold on to it because of its law, the youngest fire dragon had to be its guardian, and the curse is there to STOP people reading it. If you lose it you'll start coughing up black blood...that is the start...after...just please...if you loose it find it.. before th...'
Natsu woke with a startle, he was lying in his own bed, even his clothes were changed into his usual t-shirt and boxers.'Damn, I hope that Happy did it, if Gray or Erza did it... I don't know what would happen...' Natsu started remembering what Igneel said to him, now Natsu was determined to find it, but first he had to go to the guild and tell them he was all right, so getting changed, Natsu set off.
Everyone at the guild were worried about Natsu, wondering what in the world happened to him, Mirajane was staring at the mass of pure black liquid on the floor from the previous night, what ever it was it wouldn't let anyone touch it, it was emitting an aura of pure evil, no, not evil... more like DEATH, Mirajane looked over to Erza, she was talking with Levy, Levy was waving her hands about as if to express what she was saying in body language, Erza then got up and shouted:
"Get to the point! Natsu just coughed up that...THING! And I can't do ANYTHING, so do something!"
Levy was shocked my Erza but all the same when onto the point, saying;
"I read in an old textbook about 10 thousand years ago, the mighty dragon Ekmectem was the king of dragons, he was the wisest of all of them, one day after seeing the dragons argue, he decided to split them up into elements, Ice, Water, Wind, Metal, Thunder, Poison and most of all the greatest, fire, there were many more but most got killed off from being weaker by the hunters, Ekmectem seeing this, decided to create a magical piece with all dragon knowledge on it.."
Natsu was recalling what his father said,
'Once he did that he gave it down to his strongest son, the fire dragon, and placed a curse on it, in order to protect the dragon knowledge, only people the fire dragon accepted would be allowed to read it, if they could read the old dragon language, but in order to cast such a powerful spell, sacrifices must have been made, one was that you had to keep it on you at all times...'
Levy carried on talking:
"if not you would start coughing up black blood, but that's not the bad bit, its this.."
Natsu opened the door ecclesiastically, with one of his signature smiles on his face, everyone in the guild started to crowd round him, Erza was about to get up when Levy stopped her. Erza saw the pained look in her face and sat down, Levy finally said these words:
"It MUST be passed down generation to generation, and if one looses it, they..."
Erza was willing herself to run before she said it, but she HAD to stay, for Natsu.
"...Die.."
Suddenly as she said that, Erza shoved up, looking at Nastu, but no one was looking at him anymore, no, it was at the two girls, standing at the entrance, one had a grin on his face and the other was solem, then they started talking:
"We are Venus and Hel, we have come to join fairy tail!"
Hel glanced over to Natsu, and she started talking too:
"Hello...Natsu..."
Venus started again:
"oh! yes! I forgot to say that! We are also dragon slayers! Yahoo! Natsu!"
She waved at Natsu, and he was staring at them, literally shivering, Gejeel came down to, to see what was going on, seeing them two, the blood rushed to his head and he fell on Gray.
