A mere child is walking through a forest thinking of where to walk back home because he took a nap for long time after playing with some of the village's kids in the old game of hide 'n' seek and when he woke up, he lost the track of time because it was nearly supper time. He walked for several hours and look like he was lost because he didn't know the area. But then he sees a cave opening and decided to stay here for the night. He went to sleep quick and save his energy for tomorrow's trek. But he didn't know that his life will be forever changed.

Morning arrived and deeper in the cave, a dragon goes by the name Avalon was waking up from his deep slumber. Avalon then stretched real long to get the kinks out of his massive body and shake his head to get the cobwebs out of him. He then unleashes a loud yawn that can heard from miles. Avalon then got up and walked to the bright end of the cave so he can look for food to eat. But then he was about to get out, he sees a human child with brown hair and thinks that the child must older than 10 years old. He didn't expect to see a child in his cave, but decided to look at the child's appearance. The child was male, had short dark brown hair, and white complexion throughout his body. He had a short-sleeved red shirt on with tan shorts and sneakers as the child breathing out his nose peaceable until the child opened his eyes and revealed brown eyes.

The child and Avalon looked at each other until the child step back a bit and get a good look on the dragon. The kid can't believe that he was looking on a dragon! A real dragon, taking a moment to take in its features, he saw it was a shiny crystal white color that seen to sparkle. It's spine, wings spikes, claws, etc. had the same color as well as it's eyes being a loving jade. So that being said an amazing creature that the kid is looking that. The kid is didn't know, this dragon is about to change his life forever. The kid then decided to step closer and Avalon was stared with him until he moved closer and began to speak with the child.

"What's your name?" He asked deeply.

The boy replied "Matt's the name and can't remember my last name because I don't know. I've been living in my village orphanage for the last six years. The reason why I am here because I got lost during a game of hide 'n' seek with some of the village's kids. I took a nap under a tree and when I woke up, I notice that it was almost supper time. I tried to get back to the village, but decided that I found this cave and slept the most of the night because I decided to try to find the village the first thing this morning. Then of course the rest is history with you of course."

Avalon deeply chuckles of Matt's answer to him especially the end of how the way Matt acted. He looked back at the child and began thinking "He been a lone child for the last six years and he's known of being kind to other people of his kind and kinda of a wise one as well. Plus, I sensed that he got a big amount of magic at his age. Due to the rate of his power he's going, he'll be an incredible force when he's older, especially if he gets trained by me. Imagine the faces of Igneel and Metalicana when they found out that I trained the most powerful dragon slayer of them all. HAHAHA" Avalon decided that he will trained this kiddo and man oh man, imagine the possibilities of this kid in the upcoming decades.

"Hey kid!" Avalon shouted as the cave shakes of his deep voice as Matt whips his head up as he listens to him.

"What would you said if I suggested you come with me and beside that, trained under me?"

Matt didn't believe it that this dragon give him the chance of a new life and wondering of what he could be become in the next twenty years. He clapped his hands together and shouts "For real? Sure and the village got a little bit of boring late." Avalon then reply then by saying "Let's go, kid and with your new abilities, you could change the world!"

Matt got on his back and Avalon flap his wings open then give a couple of additional flaps to get going. He then finally flew off out of the cave taking Matt to his new home and the beginning of his new life.

July 7th X777

Avalon breathe out a huge sign because today is the day that he leaves his son behind. The last 7 years with Matt were the happiest days of his life, he was so wisecracking like his old man, but got a side of kindness as well. He clothed him, fed him, bathed him, and above all, loved him as if he was his own. Teaching him to read and write, everything he would need in life, and when it came to magic, admirably they hit a bit of snag in the beginning between them. What Avalon didn't know was that Matt-boy already knew a bit of magic which made teaching him Dragon Slayer magic a little difficult until Matt tapped his second and third magic containers at an alarming rate while meditating at age 10 one day and of course, he became more powerful than anyone on Earthland including a Wizard Saint. After that, it was very easy for Matt like absorbing huge amounts of water to the skin. Because of that, Avalon teach Matt with Elemental Dragon Slayer Magic, that allows Matt Avalon who took his father's name as his last name as a memento for him to use all main elements including metal and thunder.

Then a year later notice that his power levels went up the roof because due to a unknown power source so he decided to train under two of Avalon's friends – Gouken and Akuma(1), who studied him under the art of Ansatsuken, both the toned down and original styles of the martial art. Gouken teach him of how to control Ansatsuken and use it for peace while Akuma teach to bring out its' true potential within his soul while only use it to those who deserve it. Due to their teachings, he harnessed both styles into a full and complete style one day as he tried to combine both sides and it worked as he felt that he was both relaxed and unstoppable as Goken was shocked and Akuma was pleased of this outcome. Also, he became friends with Goken's students, Ryu Hoshi & Ken Masters over the years. Ryu was silent, humble, and serious individual while Ken was flamboyant & unpredictable even he had a large ego and be brash and arrogant at times, but got a heart of gold. Sometimes, Matt and Ken traded wise cracking jokes as Ryu was training. With all that training, Matt Avalon could be the best damn mage in all of Earthland.

Avalon knew that the kid had more power in his little pinky, hell both pinkies than any adult mages had in their body. It didn't had to worry him when he had complete control over his power and thinking what types of magic over the years, he pull out a huge shitty eating grin on his face showing his pure white fangs. He was super proud of his boy and when he told Igneel, Metalicana, and the rest of the dragons about his son's abilities, they can't believe they was in total speechless and Igneel…oh boy, it was livid when Avalon told that his son is more powerful than Igneel's son on the day when every dragon bring their children during "Bring Your Child To Meeting" Day. Avalon was about to bring tears to his eyes until.

"Hey Dad?" He heard his son's voice below him as he tilt his head down to see him. He then smiled happy as he sees his son for seven years. He had certainly grown since he was with him. At 17, he stood at an very impressive 6' with a very muscular build that made bodybuilders envied (2). His dark brown hair had grown a bit (3) that made girls go mouthwatering for him. He wore a white muscle shirt under a red jacket with red pants and red boots (4) with a black dragon symbol on back of the jacket and ended it with a silver necklace (5) around his neck.

Avalon notices his son's worried look on his face before Matt started speaking again "Today's the day, eh? I knew it that this day comes sooner or later. Eh, we have a lot of great times as both father and son, right dad?" He known what his son is talking about because he and his son had this type of talk a few months due to his son noticing him a bit strange at the beginning of the year and figure that today will be the last day to spend time together as father and son.

Avalon sighed because his son was damn smart of things like this and wouldn't be surprised that his son known that this day will be the last day of them together. Avalon still looked at his son until he sighed again and start talking by saying "Yes son, I'm leaving, I don't want to go but I have to go due to a big complication that be looked into due to Igneel's orders. Big-fucking-wee-doo!" Both father and son laughed until Avalon continue to talk to his son "We have a lot of fun times and a lot of training, but I know that I loved you and if I would be gone for a long time, I will watched over you until it's my time to go or something happens to you, my dear little hatching. May the Dragon Gods protect and watched over you, you troublesome rascal." Avalon said both happy and sadly as he nuzzles his son one last time.

"You'll Be In My Heart" by Phil Collins

"Thanks, dad and I'll be in your heart now and forever." Matt replied back. After a long hug and several tears, Avalon cast a powerful sleeping spell on Matt.

The next morning, Matt awoke to an empty cave. Sadly, Matt packed up his belongings and shoved off too. He didn't know where to go, but in his heart he knows that somewhere he change the entire history of Earthland in a heartbeat because he knows he got great potential to change the world forever.
