The stars shined brightly in the night sky. Everything was peaceful.
That was until a loud roar boomed in the ears of all. Children looked out the window and up into the sky. What they saw left them staring in awe. Another loud roar echoed through the night.
A woman screaming could be heard. People came out of their homes and watched as a dragon flew over them.
The Dragon was Igneel, and the woman was-
"Luce! Igneel isn't scary!"
Lucy Heartfilia.
Why? WHY!? Why was she doing this?! Lucy Heartfilia slammed her head down on her writing table. She should have never told Natsu about her story. It was her own fault. She should have known that he would want to read it.
Especially if it was about Igneel. Lucy glared at the paper in front of her. Looking up she looked Natsu right in the eyes.
"If you do not leave this room right now I will personally kick you where the sun don't shine."
Natsu yelped and ran out of Lucy's writing room. He had built it for her when she had started complaining about alway having him breathing down her neck. So with the help of the guild and more than a little begging on his part the room was born.
He shut the door and walked down the hall to their room. Natsu found Happy sleeping on the bed curled around Plue. He snorted and then climbed into the bed for a nap.
Lucy sighed as Natsu left. She would never really do that to him. Not yet anyway. She wanted kids.
Lucy read what she had written so far and smiled. She wasn't making Igneel 'scary'. She was simply making the story catch peoples attention. She put her pencil back down and started writing.
When she wrote it was like she was in the world of the story. Closing her eyes she imagined being there. She left the real world and appeared in the world of the one she wrote.
It was the time Dragons ruled the world. The time every human that lived feared and loved them. It was the time Igneel sored across the sky.
His bright red wings spread out on either side of him flaping and catching the flowing wind. Everything below him was nothing but specks to his eyes. He sored left and then right.
But that time slowly changed. The dragons were killed. The humans rose. Everyone living thing watched as the humans took over the world.
The dragons taughted humans to kill other dragons. Why? Because there was one dragon above all others that killed humans and dragons alike. It rose from the depths of hell and slaughtered everything.
But the humans turned on the dragons. They started killing the teachers. The humans then became known as Dragon Slayers.
A few dragons were lucky enough to escape the massacre. One of them was named Draco. He was just a regular dragon. But he was cast into the sky when he was about to be killed by a human.
The caster was a human who used magic. Star Magic. The caster gave her life for the dragon and he was forever thankful for it. He stayed in the sky in debt of the fallen woman.
Another Dragon that managed to get free was a fire Dragon. His name was Igneel. Igneel lived his years in a den staying safely away humans. It wasn't that he didn't like them. That wasn't it. He loved humans. He wanted to keep them safe along with keeping himself safe.
As the years went by Igneel became lonely. He watched as the humans were born and died. He watched as they fought a war between themselves. He watched as they grew from both love and hate.
One day a small boy appeared in the woods. He was nothing but a small child. A two month old baby if he guessed right. He watched as a woman appeared next to the child and ran up to him.
Her eyes were wide with disbelief. The rumors were true. She held the baby up the the mighty dragon.
"Oh, Mighty Fire Dragon! Please! Grants us your protection. I come bearing a child. You are to do what you please with him." She then set the crying baby on the ground in front of the dragon.
Igneel stared on shocked. What just happened? He looked around. What was going on? He looked down at the human. SHe was bowing to him. HE cleared his throat.
"Erm. Oh little human," 'Little? Really Igneel?' he questioned himself."I will protect your village." He said. Just as he was about to continue and tell her to take back the child she ran off.
What just happened?
The baby cried out. The dragon moved the small blanket away from the baby's face. He gently used his claw to move the small child to get a better look at the baby.
Bright pink hair stuck out and black eyes watched the dragon with curiosity. The great and powerful Igneel had to restrain himself from jumping back. Something about the child told him to fear and love him.
The boy smiled brightly at the over grown lizard.
After a few years of growing the dragon and boy became father and son.
The now five year old boy smiled up at his father. "Igneel! Igneel!" He cried out as he ran around their den.
The dragon had been sleeping but with the boy screaming he looked up. "What is it boy?"
"WHat's my name?"
The question left the dragon slightly stunned. WHat was the boys name? He had never thought about that. Ever since the day he was left with him he had always called the boy, brat or boy.
He looked around and smelled the summer air thinking. His name. Wait summer? No to girly. Wait, Natsu.
"Your name is Natsu. Natsu Dragneel."
The boy Natsu smiled brightly before demanding a fight.
he world spun slowly and the years flew by. Everything was peaceful.
Until July 7 X777. The day my mother died and the day all dragons went missing.
Natsu stood at the entrance of the cave he and Igneel lived in. He stared out at the nothingness of the land. It was lonely. He waited for days on end waiting for his father to return.
After two months of waiting Natsu held his scarf to his face and then took off running. Where? He didn't know. All he knew was that he was alone in this world. But he vowed to find his father.
After months of searching he met an old man by the name of Makarov Dreyar. The man told him to come with him. That was when he met what he would soon call his new home.
Fairy Tail.
Lucy sighed out as she let her head fall on to her table. She closed her eyes and her mind shut down.
As she slept she didn't notice Natsu and Happy peek their heads in. Happy flew over and landed next to the blonds head. He shook her head with his paws.
Her blond hair swayed and she opened her eyes. She sighed out as she saw Natsu standing next to her holding cooking ingredients.
"Luce? We're hungry."
Lucy glared at him. She grabbed the food and stormed out of her writing room. Ever since she moved in she had been doing all of the cooking. She was tired and just wanted to sleep.
Looking down at the food Natsu had been carrying she smiled. It was the ingredients to make her favorite meal. She cooked up dinner Happy flew off to bed with Natsu.
Lucy walked back into her writing room. She looked around the room and walked over to the bookshelves that were piled high, thanks to Levy. Lucy looked through them. After finding nothing that catch her eye Lucy walked back over to her writing desk.
She rested her head in her arms as she laid her top half of her body on the desk. She knew she should go to bed but she just had a feeling she should stay here.
Closing her eyes she fell asleep.
A dragon flew high in the sky. His wings spread out wide at his sides. His bright red shined with glee as he swirled to the right. A cry of glee came from his back. The mighty dragon turned his head and looked at the small child on his back.
The small boy smiled brightly at his father. "Igneel! Go that way!" The boy pointed to a grassy area.
The dragon landed on the large mountain and laid down so the boy could get off. Natsu hopped off the dragon and smiled. He ran around exploring. THen he turned to Igneel.
"Let's fight! You promised me that you'd teach me that new move!"
Igneel laughed lightly. His laughed boomed all around them. Unknowingly attracting a young girl. She looked up from playing with her dolls and looked out on the mountain that her father had bought her mother.
They had brought her hear for her sixth birthday. Her mother and father were in the house and she was outside. She had wanted to come outside. Lucy stood up and smiled as she looked out at the woods.
The sound made her feel like she was surrounded by someone laughing. She grabbed her doll, Michelle and ran off to find the sound. She knew she would be in trouble later but that didn't matter right now.
Running through the forest she ran up the side of the mountain. It had taken her an hour running and an hour walking but she had made it. She peeked out behind a tree and saw a dragon and a boy fighting. Just as she was about to go for help the dragon stopped.
"That was enough Natsu. We need to go back to the den."
She watched as the boy whined. Her eyes followed the boy. She felt as her hand twitched to reach for them. She looked down at her hand and found a little red string go from her finger to the boys. Her face turn bright red. She remembered what her mother had told her.
The sound of flapping wings stop her thoughts. She looked up to see the Dragon and boy take off. Her eyes widened and she reached out her hands for them.
"No!"
She ran out from her hiding place but it was too late. They were gone.
