AN: Welcome one and all to the second chapter of The daddy dragon. I thank everyone who faved, followed and reviewed so far.
Please enjoy.
With Natsu and Makarov.
Not long after they left the guild Natsu and Makarov sat at Magnolia train station awaiting the currently late train that'll take them close to era, their journey so far had been reletively quiet with some small talk here and there mostly about the joys and heartache of being a single dad, needless to say that the two bonded quite well and enjoyed eachothers company, "Natsu tell me, what magic do you use?" Makarov asked curiously.
Natsu looked at the tiny form of Makarov and smiled having already decided that he was wholly trustworthy "I primarily use first generation fire dragon slaying magic as well as requip, archive and takeover" Natsu replied.
Makarov was suprised that Natsu had known a lost magic as well as requip and archive but somthing confused him and he had to ask, "You said first generation, what does that mean exactly?".
"There are five different generations of dragon slayers officially.
A first generation dragon slayer learns their magic straight from a dragon.
The Second generation dragon slayers have a dragon slaying lacrama implanted in them, they are artificial dragon slayers.
A third generation dragon slayer is trained by a dragon and has a dragon slaying lacrama inside of them.
The fourth generation are artificial beings created from magic and implanted with dragon slaying magic.
And the fifth generation... they are the worst in my opinion, they kill and eat dragons to gain their power" Natsu explained as welp as he could.
Makarov was amazed at the complexity of dragon slaying magic, he just thought that a dragon slayer was just that, he thought Laxus and Gajeel were essentially the same but no, they were completely different but still fundamentally the same, "That's amazing I had no idea... Wait you said you're a first generation dragon slayer, so does that mean?" Makarov asked suprised.
"Yeah, my dad was Igneel the fire dragon king. He's gone now" Natsu replied sadly.
"Gone, what do you mean?" Makarov asked.
"Igneel was old when he found me but we had ten amazing years together before he passed away" Natsu replied again with a sad smile. Makarov looked at the floor he didn't know how to continue the conversation so he waited for Natsu to continue. "But its not too bad, he left me some gifts to remember him by before he took his last breath, the first was this scarf made from his scales, the second was his power, the third was his soul and the final gift was his title".
Now Makarov was shocked, if what Natsu said was true then he was in the presence of the current fire dragon king, a title that meant little to humans but still commanded great respect, "That's amazing your majesty, it is an honor" Makarov bowed in respect.
Natsu sweatdropped and picked Makarov up from his kneeling position back onto his feet, good job that the platform was empty "There was no need for that Makarov, with dragon's being practically extinct the title is pretty much redundant" Natsu said with a nervous laugh.
Makarov gave a small chuckle "Sorry about that m'boy, what about your other magics?" Makarov asked curiously.
"I use my requip magic for non combat situations, I learned it when Wendy was a couple months old while we where escaping Alvarez to transport her necessities like nappies, formula and spare clothes without having to carry a cumbersome bag" Natsu explained with a nostalgic smile.
"That is a unique way to use requip magic thats for sure, what about archive?" Makarov asked.
"I also use archive as a non combat magic, I use it to store my memories of Wendy sort of like an album, but I also use it to remember recipes and other minor uses" Natsu explained with another smile on his face.
Now Makarov couldn't help but laugh, Natsu had taught himself two magic types to help him with parenthood, he was one dedicated father that's for sure "Natsu you are truly an excellent father to Wendy" Makarov complimented while patting Natsu's back.
Natsu gave a huge smile "Thank you Makarov I really appreciate the kindness of your words".
"Anytime m'boy, now about your takeover" Makarov pushed the subject lightly.
"Of course, to use Igneel's soul I had to learn takeover dragon soul, in a way I guess that it is just an extension of my dragon slaying magic as his soul has the same abilities I do but apart from that it works the same as other takeovers" Natsu explained.
Makarov was intrigued definately, he had seen many forms of takeover in the past but dragon soul was a first, "That does sound facinating..." Makrov was going to continue but the train was heard a short distance away.
"C'mon, let's get onto the train" Natsu announced with little enthusiasm causing Makarov to laugh once more, knowing full well of the dragon slayers common weakness, transportation.
Back at the Fairy Tail guild after Natsu and Makarov left.
Wendy was enjoying the strawberry cheese cake very much, with every mouthfull the mmm's from her mouth was a dagger to Erza's heart and a great source of joy for Mira, needless to say that Mira was glad that Wendy was unintentionally rubbing the enjoyment in Erza's face she deserved it after making the poor girl cry, putting her sadistic enjoyment of Erza's torture aside Mira decided to ask Wendy some questions "So Wendy tell me about yourself?" Mira asked softly.
"My name name is Wendlynne but I prefer Wendy, I'm three years old and I like cake" Wendy replied with a smile.
"You talk very well for someone so young, Natsu must have raised you well" Mira commented kindly.
"Papa said that I'm smart like momma" Wendy replied happily then she began to cry "Momma".
The whole guild listening in on the conversation immediately began to worry when Wendy started to cry, it was obvious that her mother was a bit of a sore subject but no one wanted to ask, not because they didn't care but because they weren't sure how to bring it up but soon a certain blonde celestial wizard approached Wendy and put a hand on her shoulder "Hello my name is Lucy, can you tell us about your momma?" Lucy asked in a comforting tone as she knew the pain of losing a mother.
Wendy sniffed back her tears and wiped her eyes "I don't remember momma but papa told me alot about her, he said she was amazing, beautiful and strong up until the very end".
"Until the end? What did he mean by that?" Lucy asked, she had a very good idea why but she needed to know so she doesn't jump to the wrong conclusion.
"Papa said that Zeref took momma away, he didn't say why" Wendy replied sadly.
At that moment they all knew, Wendy may have been slightly ignorant to the fact but it was there, Natsu had told her without telling her. Zeref had killed Wendy's mother and Natsu was protecting her from that truth without lieing to her, "Wendy I know how much it hurts but I promise you that it'll get better over time, we'll all be there for you with Natsu" Lucy said with a tearful smile.
Wendy with tears streaming down her face launched herself at Lucy and cried "Thank you Lucy".
Lucy held Wendy close and comforted her "No need to thank me Wendy just cry until you feel better okay" Lucy offered kindly as Wendy continued to sob into her shoulders.
Wendy cried for a few minutes before she finally composed herself and gave Lucy a bright smile "Thank you Lucy I feel alot better now".
"That's great Wendy I'm glad you're better now, hey do you know any magic?" Lucy asked.
"No not yet, we're not sure if I'll have momma's or Papa's magic" Wendy replied.
"Oh what magic did your mum use?" Mira asked curiously.
"Papa said that Momma used wind magic" Wendy replied cheerfully.
"What magic does Natsu use?" Lucy asked.
"Papa uses requip magic, archive magic, take over magic and Fire dragon slayer magic" Wendy said excitedly.
"DRAGON SLAYER!" Boomed Gajeel, "There are other slayers? Who was his dragon?" Gajeel asked loudly.
"Grandpa Igneel" Wendy replied with a smile.
Gajeel was in shock he had heard of the great fire dragon king from his own father Metalicanna. Gajeel had heard of the dragons immense power and honestly he didn't know to feel, for so long he had believed that he was the only dragon slayer, that he was alone but now that he knows there is another like him he didn't know if he should be happy or not, after a few moments of silent contemplation Gajeel kneeled before Wendy and bowed "My name is Gajeel Redfox son of iron dragon Metalicana, it is an honor to meet you Wendy-hime" Gajeel said respectfully shocking the rest of the guild.
A short blue haired girl approached Gajeel with a concerned look "Gajeel what's going on?" She asked nervously.
"Salamander is the son of Igneel the fire dragon king and assuming the old dragon passed his title onto Natsu before he died making him the new fire dragon king that means young Wendy here is..." Gajeel explsined before being cut of by Levy.
"Wendy is a princess!? WAIT NATSU IS A KING?!" Levy exclaimed and the whole guild gasped, they had royalty in their guild, not human royalty but royalty regardless.
"Please stop" Wendy asked red with embarrassment. " Papa is the fire dragon king but he doesn't want anyone making a fuss over it" Wendy concluded maturely.
"His title aside I say that he has quite the impressive magical skill set" Erza commented thoughtfully "I wonder if he'll give me a worthy fight with his requip magic?"
"Papa doesn't use his requip magic for fighting, the same with his archive magic" Wendy told Erza.
Erza visibly deflated at being denied a requip vs requip fight, she was looking forward to see how he measured up "Why?" Erza complained childishly, losing her usually calm demeanor.
Wendy spent the next few minutes explaining how he uses requip and archive magic and needless to say, like Makarov when he was told by Natsu they too were shocked, even Erza who was a master with requip magic had admitted that she would of never thought of using requip in such a way, "He taught himself requip because it made taking care of a kid that much easier... What a pansy" Laughed the resident stripper, Gray Fullbuster.
To everyone's shock he was hit on the head by Juvia "My aplogies Gray-sama but you wouldn't know the lengths a parent would go for their child" Juvia scolded lightly.
Gray gave an apologetic look as he rubbed his head "I guess not".
Juvia smiled at Gray and the guild returned to normal, Wendy was happy with her new friends, she felt lighter as she joined in with the fun but avoided the brawl because of the friendly advice from the motherly mira.
AN: Chapter two is complete, I stayed up until stoopid O'clock in the morning getting this done so please excuse the potential lack of quality. I used this chapter as a proper introduction for Natsu and Wendy so it had a lot of explaining and I hope most of it made sense. Well thank you for reading and have a good day.
