Chapter 1
Author's Note: I really had some hard time on writing this. I just didn't know how to start this chapter. But this chapter is kind of important for the whole story so it needed to start somehow xD
Btw, the rating my go up with future chapters.
Laxus was training in the forest near Magnolia.
He noticed that his lightning powers were different for about three months already. And that really bothers him.
He couldn't explain why his magic felt so different, like it would get out of control, every time he uses it. On top of that his magic was connected to his emotions for these three months. And that was more than dangerous if you're a Fairy Tail mage.
Laxus didn't do any job for one and a half month. For the first time in his life he was afraid of his magic. He heard that some mage's lost their mind, because their magic power was too high.
If he loses control over his powers, he loses his mind.
After some hours of training he decided to go back to the guild.
Inside it was like always – loud and cheerful.
He spotted his grandfather at the bar and walked towards him and sat beside him on a barstool.
"You haven't done a job for more than one month", Makarov said.
At first, Laxus didn't reply to this comment. He ordered a beer. As he took a sip of his beer he decided to answer.
"Not your problem Gramps."
"You've never been more than one month at the guild, since you became an S-Class mage."
"Am I not allowed to take some pause of missions?"
These halfhearted answers made the master suspicious. It wasn't his grandson like he knows him.
"What's the real matter?"
Laxus didn't answer for a while. He knows he could trust his grandfather and master, but he don't want to bother him. He looked straight forward when he finally answers, but checked first, if anyone could hear him. Since no one paid attention to their conversation, he looked from the corner of his eyes to his grandfather.
"My lightning magic gets out of control for some time now."
Makarov looked quite shocked at his grandson. Did he really said, that he wasn't able to control his magic properly anymore?
"Why didn't you told me earlier?"
"Didn't want to bother you." Laxus now looked straight at his grandfather.
Makarov was lost in his thoughts. He remembered when she wrote him letters. But since more than twenty years he didn't received any letter from her.
In one of her letters she explains how to deal with lightning properly and if he really inherits her power, he has to learn how to neutralize it within his body.
Now, that Makarov thinks about that, he never told Laxus that fact. He thought the lightning powers came from the lacrima Ivan implanted in his son.
But what if he really inherits lightning magic from his mother? That would be a whole different situation, because she was able to handle negative and positive lightning.
As far as Makarov knows, his grandson was able to use positively charged lightnings.
The other question is, if Laxus know about it. Makarov snapped out of his thoughts when Laxus asked him something unexpected.
"This problem… It's related to my mother, right… Gramps?"
Makarov sighed than thought how to put it in words. He avoided to answer questions about her.
"It was the stupidest idea of your father to implant the dragon lacrima in you. But now I understand why he chose a lightning one."
"My mother was a lightning mage, right?"
"So you know?"
"It was just a guess and logic explanation to me."
"The power from the lacrima interferes with your natural power. You use positively charged lightning – that's the power of the dragon lacrima. But it seems that your natural lightning form is also positively charged. That's more than dangerous and can kill you. Only way to avoid it is to learn how to produce negatively charged lightning that neutralizes the increasing power within your body", his grandfather explained to Laxus.
"It's that easy?"
"No. You can't learn it by yourself. Lightning mage's who are able to use negatively and positively charged lightning's are extremely rare. To be exact, I just know one mage that is able to change freely the charge of lightning."
"You mean…"
"Your mother. The Tiger of Fairy Tail."
