Natsu was staring at his palms as he gave a small breath, a light sigh as he looked at the woods. realizing something that apparently, he never noticed. His senses were numbed… nearly to the level of the average human. Though when he activated his founder's eye, he was nearly 5 times his old self!

This of course caused him to think, odd for himself he'd even say.

Putting a theory together that it might have been the evil magic around him, maybe it was to lure poor souls in and trap it. Chuckling some he realized another thing.

He hadn't ate in nearly two whole days!

With the amount of raw strength he had been releasing you'd guess it'd been nothing but near starvation! Guess not then…

Then again. He is 'The Prince of Fire Dragons'. Bound to be some form of defense to block extreme hunger, it'd be lame to go out from dehydration or lack of eating. Speaking of which, he was kinda hungry right now… And that serpent earlier looked tasty. He'd eaten many before, but none like this.

Frggin' sea serpent!

Thinking about it he jumped up from the smooth surface of the quarry stone and landed with a soft thud, a small dust cloud coming from the three story hop. He could still see cracks and breaks in the rock from where he'd been unleashing his rage on the beasts from earlier. Small black blood pools and large beast intestines.

If he ate the Minotaur would that be like, half cannibalism?

"Fuck that, stinks anyway." Natsu said to himself as he looked at the large snake and walked over, pulling it from the trees. It wasn't heavy just needed some tenderizing. Grinning at the thought he decided he'd have a little fun and fix the place up, breaking down a couple hundred trees. Just enough for actual light to shine through, he slammed the snake down and grabbed a sharp slab of stone.

Making sure it was extra sharp by testing it on his own thumb, he grinned when it easily drew blood. Cleaning it off, he began to gut the large reptile before cleaning the meat and starting a fresh fire. Hearing it crackle as he used two whole oak trees to make said fire.

Looking at the large burning Pile he put the snake over the flames in severed pieces. Making it perfect before he stopped and let the meat cook, still having the mental link with Qin, he tried to call to her. His arms beside him before standing up from the ground he was sitting on. Dusting himself off, and looking around.

"Qin… Are you still there?" He asked with hope, but what happened next hurt him dearly.

"Natsu… I'm sorry…"Qin replied, her voice was weak as she gave a low whine… And whimpers could be heard before a soft and low, 'momma get up… The bad man is gone..'. With that Natsu was so scared, he jumped up onto the highest ledge he could find and looked towards the path that lead to their small little section and began running.

A million thoughts running through his head as he feared losing yet another family member, he could accept missing… He couldn't accept dead. It burned him… His heart.

"Qin! Qin! Are you alright, what happened!" Natsu shouted on the verge of tears and losing another parent figure his sadness showed anger… That anger and sadness turned to rage.

"Natsu… I'm sorry. *whine* it was the only way…. It was bound to happen Love." Qin said as he gained a mental image of everything around Qin, seeing her clearly and even the cubs were in his visage. He then saw something in the Shadows.

Jumping back he dodged as searing black flames erupted exactly where he stood, a hooded figure with piercing Dark Green and Crimson eyes stared at him. The man looked like he had the same eyes as Jacob, the eyes that mimicked the founder's...

A demon!

Rage lit up in him, he had a reason to fight. Full force once more to protect, throwing a large sharp wave of fire towards the shadow he watched as his flames took a darker color, a deep seething blood red. He felt it, the eye twitching as it forced itself open.

Looking on at the man he yelled in rage, the shadow recoiled in shock after hearing the roar, it sounded dragonic. In his fit of rage Natsu inhaled deep before lunging his head words coming naturally.

"FIRE DRAGON'S FURIOUS ROAR!" With that he unleashed a wave of flames so large it literally cleared a whole ⅕ of the large forest in seconds, only leading from one side to another. He suddenly became mentally lax as he growled in rage before hearing a whimper he quickly lost all anger and watched the shadow take off, before running to Qin. Her pups staring up at him.

He began crying tears as he started to look at the large pool of blood leaking from her. It became clear she wasn't going to make it, he couldn't do anything. With that in his mind he started to feel tears pour as he cried out loud. Only stopping to a sob when he heard her speak again.

"Natsu…I need you to take care of my pups… They won't make it alone… little ones...Go some place safe for a-" she gave a low whine once more, this one accompanied by a flow of blood from her mouth and large gash in her sides, "… Me and Big brother need to have a talk." The small twins began to tear up wanting not to go, but a single look from Natsu who had fear in his eyes, something he rarely showed. Told them all they needed to one before moving away out of earshot. Natsu looked down at her as he watched her blood soak into his hands, he reached down, but he knew if he attempted with ought training… It would only hurt her rather than help. She being a magical being…

His last attempts never did much but singe her fur…

"Natsu…"

"Yes, Ma'am…"

"I need you to do something for me…"

"W-what…" Natsu said with shock in his eyes, a soft sob coming out as he looked at her. He couldn't believe the words he had just heard.

"I need you to… Eat my magical power… It's the only way for my kids to live and follow… They thrive from my magic…" Qin spoke with soft whimpers.

"I-I can't…" Natsu said as he began to bawl crying out tears, his eyes were closed as he tried to not think of it. The only way for him to eat the power of a magical being…

Was to eat them. Or at least part of them… He remembered a very detailed explanation on why as well. Magical beings are more than the common image, being composed of pure magic. Pure ethernano.

If he was going to gain their abilities he needed it all, especially since all four flames are what gave life to the pups.

The worst part was he loses some humanity, depending on the creature's mental state. He gains years in life, along with the ability to share them with a select few, but he would lose his mind.

"Natsu… My son, you have to…" Qin said as she stared up with him, she was still holding on. "It hurts Natsu… If you eat my magical power… You'll be able to have me with you, I'll be there in the form of my own magic… Trust me, Natsu… I'll always be there…" She said as she whimpered more, moving slightly causing her organs from the deep wound in her side to spill.

"I… why… IGNEEL THEN YOU! I C-" Natsu began to scream but was interrupted.

"*loud whimper* Natsu… I'm barely holding on, just do it! I order you… You have to… It's the only way I can go in happiness. I'll be with you in spirit, believe in me Natsu… Absorb my power and become stronger… Please I need you to protect my pups, they'll die here… Leave with them…" Qin said as she sobbed through telepathy.

"I… I don't know why…I don't know how, I've only eaten a being." Natsu said as he began to sniffle tears still falling as he clenched his teeth.

Qin smiled… In that second he received an image of a beautiful white haired woman. Her dark yellow eyes piercing through his soul, as she wrapped her arms around him in her naked form. Plump red lips and flowing ivory hair. "put your hands on me… Focus your magic, keep mind… You'll have to match the level with mine perfectly… Then absorb my power and inhale my flames…" Natsu began to cry as his hands were placed on her sides as she whimpered, Beginning to mix their magics, he fused his Magic level with hers and started to watch as her tails began to light ablaze… The Black flames along with the white, turquoise blue, and blood red flames. They all climbed up her body before combining on her body. He could smell them burning away everything she had, every ounce of magic. His eyes were closed.

Inhaling with his magic infused lungs, Natsu began to eat the flames hungrily. Feeling as he lost a small part of his humanity in doing so. Tears falling down as before he knew it… There was nothing on the ground.

Her body and blood absorbed by the flames… Her form was magical… So the damage she took couldn't really be repaired. It hurt him to look at his hands. He lost his first mother…it burned…. He lost his mother… And had to eat her… Tears falling as he realized he actually ate her. The flames sent him into a frenzy which he began to absorbed her physical form… Her blood… and flesh.

Rage filled him full, before toning down… he couldn't blame himself… His conscious told him not to, his conscious didn't even feel like his own. Looking at his right arm, he realized he had a burning sensation. Before he could even think he felt the searing hot marks make themselves in his arm. It was worse than anything Igneel could do with the amount of power he used with Natsu.

This felt real… And painful, more painful than the stabs and cuts. More painful than he could believe he felt himself even shouting out a hoarse cry of pain. It lasted a whole two minutes before stopping, when it did… He was breathing from a dry mouth and throat. Crawling to water and drinking fervently.

With the last gulp, Natsu rolled onto his back and have deep breaths. Before stopping as he felt his eyes closed, opening them again. He looked at his arm, the arm now holding a new tattoo. In the shape of a spiraling wolf, with two swords.

Starting to get up, Stumbling. He noticed something.

His senses were back and stronger again. As the sound of the pups whimpering hit his ears, making him worried as he jumped up and leaped from the ground. His feet were pounding the ground faster than ever, leaving the area as fast as his feet could and rushing. Hearing deep grumbles and crashes. Nearing the pups finally as he came closer and finally had the ability to see through the foliage, he spotted a large tree like figure over the two small pups.

A weeping willow!

And it was fucking big!

That didn't matter much… What did was the pups. Jumping up and spinning in the air mid flight adding momentum to his attack, he spin kicked the large abomination. Forcing it to crack and nearly break down its side before he gave it a strong and powerful right hook, literally making it launch from it's rooted feet and spin before crashing to the ground.

Growling as he attempted to calm down, the pups turning to him and scurrying to his feet as they whined.

Now closer, Natsu looked at the creature. A now split in half weeping willow. It was huge, easily 15 feet tall. How this creature stayed hidden was the question, but once again.

The bigger one was the pups.

Kneeling and getting back to them he hugged them to himself and began to cry.

They in turn, cried with him. Licking his face and speaking.

"Big brother… is momma gone…" the black one, Yang, asked.

"Is she…" Yin asked

"She is…" Natsu sniffled along with the pups as they began to cry and whimper all together. Why, being the only question in mind… "is this what you felt when Igneel left?" The pups asked whimpering into his chest, seeing the tears fall. "Not nearly as much pain. At least with Igneel I have the chance of getting him back." Natsu spoke as He gave a breath, realizing they had to go. Just as that realization hit… As did the other.

The forest… Was now green.

His eyes widened as he watched the trees all start to go back to the original bright red and orange hue. Wait, red and orange right now… That means… He left in the bit of August… It's fall.

He's been gone for some time… It only felt like two days.

Letting that go, Natsu kissed the pups on their head before standing tall with the pups now on his shoulder, he smiled at them as he did realize they were bigger than they were when they first met. Having them around his neck as they cried themselves to sleep, he walked back to their camp. Letting a small tear fall, he stepped up to the spot where Qin died. Looking around he found a stone perfect for the grave. Carving her name, and placing the date.

Looking at it with the pups resting on his shoulders, Natsu sighed as he felt the rain pour, increasing his body heat tenfold and causing the rain to evaporate. He took each step leaving burnt footprints. His eyes hardened, he had to protect the pups. That meant by any means, even if it meant taking a living person's life…

Which it did… he in good honesty always knew it would. The only decision he could make now, was leave or stay. Leave and become stronger better.

Or stay and be weak, remembering all that was done wrongly to you.

Natsu now sat on the ledge of a mountain, the pups in his bed roll warm and snug. Feeding off of the magic he released. He knew that his understanding of magic was different. Knowing it was always more, magic was endless to him. Boundless and he expressed it, though his physique was no joke either. The human body amazed him, everything did. As everything kept him from thinking wrongly.

His only focus now was be better, and that's all he could do. Especially with these temperatures. These raging storms. They would be a new challenge, something he knew no matter what he was prepared for. He was just thankful for the eye, as it was the only reason he became so strong so fast.

With a bit of a chuckle he glanced over everything about physiology. Seeing the points where blood is carried most, what causes what to function.

The fact he was reading this bothered him, but as of late he's been feeling like he needed to. And only for his brothers, nothing could take their place.

He looked at the hand motions they had in the book, detailing about what points slow down the blood flow. Realizing this may work on himself and targets he happens to get his hands on. The idea that he was enjoying this was just a spectacle, but he knew his mother and father told him he needed to know as much as he could. No matter what. He was going become better, that meant all aspects.

He heard the snow behind him move causing him to focus, it was about a mile away. He guessed he was too engrossed in his book to notice him, he decided he'd stop facing over the ledge and look towards the person advancing.

The footsteps came in pairs so he knew it was more than one, he counted three, the footsteps were fast paced. Not only that, there was constant shaking. Like something large was heading this way.

Preparing himself Natsu quickly moved to his brothers and covered them both in a large shield created of nothing but pure dark red energy, a large crescent of a dragon with a wolf beside it covering the front.

Beginning to make his move, Natsu took off into a sprint going towards the commotion knowing it wouldn't fare him well if whatever it was coming towards him and chasing the other three reached the twins. Using his enhanced senses he picked up the scent of a adult woman and two children. The kids were around his age from their scent, as well as they weren't the woman's. Adopted if he had to say so, they reeked of the female but didn't share her blood.

Getting closer he could make out their image, the woman was tall and buxom. Large hips with a dark night blue shade to her hair, slightly pale skin a d dark eyes. She wasn't really tall, standing about 5'5. What threw him for a loop was she was only in her underwear, bra included.

The two boys seemed about the same height, one was slightly taller than the other. The taller one having a bright blue hue to his hair, a slight mix between a bright green and blue with white. It was spiked up and pointed at the tips with slightly slanted eyes. The second boy only about an inch shorter than the other, had dark raven and almost as dark blue eyes. They all had slightly pale skin, only the boy with the light hair being the palest.

They were also all in their underwear, which he decided not to pay attention to. His speed was making it slightly hard to stop, so he did the only thing he could think of.

Slide.

Jumping up slightly and dropping to the snow in a surfer stance he held his balance and kicked up snow with his movement. Heating himself up he left nothing but ice behind him, tricking the inexperienced mate he was an ice user. The snow ahead of him clearing from the heat as he finally spotted the creature. A huge ape like, sliding under it's legs he heard the shouts of the people from behind him.

"Kid are you crazy!" The woman shouted, her eyes wide as she stared off. She knew she didn't have the magic contained to take on the large beasts. "Those things will kill you!". This caused Natsu to nearly snap his head back in question, but he knew it'd be dumb to make that decision. So he instead looked ahead and saw about three more of the large Yeti like creatures.

Stopping himself, he watched as the one he slid past charged turned and began to search before charging towards him. In his eyes, it was mindless. It steps were sloppy, it's footing too heavy, and it's tactic surprisingly advanced more so than he expected from Giant Snow Vulcan. Chuckling some he watched as they rushed towards him attempting to corner him.

"Let the kid get it, Ur! What he gets for being cocky!" The boy with raven hair shouted, earning him a smack over the head for being so stupid.

"Gray! Shut your mouth. We've gotta help him, now way a kid that young can take on all those Vulcan!" And With that she turned towards the paler child. "Lyon when I sa-"

She was interrupted when she watched a large curved wave of flames cut through one of the Vulcan in a second forcing it from existence as it dispersed. Only to watch as more snow fell and three more waves of flames cut through the others. Staring In astonishment as they all were gone in seconds…

She wasn't the only one as the two boys were staring as well amazed at what happened, arising a new rivalry at the fact it took both of them at once to take down one. As well as it being a slightly above A-Class beast. It in a sense pissed them off, making them growl and grind their teeth. "No friggin way!" They shouted simultaneously as the boy began to appear out of the snow, radiating magic like they've never felt before making both of the boys stare at him along with Ur.

"I've heard this whole conversation, and honestly I could say I was impressed Ur. You're a lot stronger yet you were getting chased by four of them, let me guess. Didn't want the younger ones around as They're collateral and hot headed, you were only out for one and they managed to wake the herd?" Natsu said as he gave a slight grin up towards the woman, showing his sharp canines and bright white teeth.

This quickly earned the retort of the two boys who were quickly silenced by Ur.

"And how would you know that? For a kid you're pretty sharp." Ur said back towards him with a slight grin, she could sense the magic he had flowing off of him. It had to be the most concentrated and condensed force she had ever seen, it was completely controlled even! In her eyes she could see wisps of magic energy flowing from him, lightly touching everything. Yet it was very slight as her magic only allowed her to see the pressure, if a wizard saint were here to see this...this kid could be the youngest member.

"I could say you are too, are they yours?" Natsu asked looking the woman in the eye before his eyes darted low and to the sides rapidly before meeting her gaze again. She of course followed his vision and noticed he spoke of the boys beside and behind her.

"They are, I'm their teacher." She replied as she looked at him, her eyes narrowing down at him. He was suspicious, not completely, but enough to keep her she on. After all, fire mates were known for coming up here to train their abilities. Kids this strong though, not even a full fledged adult! Was up here…

For what was her question.

"Hey kid why are you askin so many questions? What are you, some kind of snow guard on night duty?!" Gray asked, getting a "yeah!" From the blue haired kid. Which for some reason turned into a wrestling match after the phrase of 'Who asked for your help' towards the pale kid and now ending in a situation with three kids one pristine, two with lumps and a adult woman all sitting in a cottage in front of a fire.

Ur having asked if Natsu wanted to spend the night as a thank you for the save today, he responded with a yes and went to go get his 'brothers' to which the two students laughed only to have their teacher smack them upside the head once more for being dumbasses and bullying. Natsu sitting sipping tea as Yin and Yang sat in covers rolling around and drinking water slavery while or so.

"What's a kid like you doing up in these snowy mountains? It's quite the hard way back to warmth don't you think?" Ur asked the Salmon haired boy who simply sipped his tea and looked up at her, causing her to finally look at his eyes. Which for some reason caused a sort of chained reaction as she gained a confused face and the students simply added to.

"Euuugh! The hell is wrong with your eyes!" They shouted at the same time, making Ur quickly turn and knock them out for the night. For some reason this only caused Natsu to give a small chuckle and the pups to come to him and sit in his lap, ironically, making the Yin Yang symbol. Causing Ur to only notice mentally versus voicing her opinion verbally.

"They're eyes given to me through different means… Not exactly happy about achieving them, but proud of the fact they at least help me protect my brothers. If you wonder how I got them… Maybe when I'm older." He said in a joking manner, actually making Ur give a slight cute giggle before calming down and looking at him seriously. This boy actually peaked her curiosity.

"Are they a power source? Like… Magic?" She asked, getting a curt nod in response.

"You could say that, in fact I'll just go with that. The difference between these eyes and magic that transforms one's eyes are this. They're naturally like this, it may be hard to understand. But there is nothing possible to reincarnated them. I literally have the eyes of magical beasts as my own, the most I could do is make them appear to be mine. Even that's hard to do…as for their abilities. Let's just say, there is nothing that can hide from me." He finished ominously as he looked up at the woman, finishing his tea and asking for another cup. She looked at him now more intrigued, reaching for the kettle and pouring another cup.

"So they're the eyes of magical beasts? So takeover magic but a lesser scale?" She asked with a very focused look.

"No, they're the actual eyes. Pried from the body… More so they took over me versus me taking over them. I can't even fathom their Max potential. What I do know is, I'll just go with saying it is technically take over. At least one is. Other was forcefully shoved into my head." He replied with a bit of a lost look.

"That must have been hard, sorry if I'm bringing up memories…" Ur quickly tried to apologize for her carelessness.

"No, you didn't do anything wrong. Just curious, long as that curiosity can't hurt others. It's not a bad thing to have, I like talking about this… It's like a vent I never had. The twins are too young to even understand my mindset other than I'm in pain. You're a great help Ur…anyway. What type of magic do you use cause you smell like an icy." He said now changing the subject as he gained what most would call and childish look on his face neck turned like a birds.

"Then you'd be right. Wait, smell like a what? How can you even smell me?" She asked now once more drawn in by the confusing boy of miracles.

"I'm a dragon slayer prince raised by a demi-god in the form of a four tailed fox in which I obtained power from in a way I can't answer currently. But if I was to say anything, it'd be the fact I'm awesome.* He said with a large grin on his face. This once again caused Ur to grin back.

"So you can smell anything, huh? It must suck being you… Imagine just walking through towns and something and someone just cuts ass." Ur thought out loud without realizing. When she did it was the moment of silence before he sipped his tea drank it and began to laugh. She too following up as he soon replied.

"You have no idea, it's like five times worse! I even remember the fact I can tell what someone ate. It's like hell on earth and I'm walking through chambers of death! I nearly threw up the day a woman was changing her baby." He said as they laughed and talked before dozing off.

Natsu and Ur waking up earlier than their companions, which was in fact odd considering they went to sleep later. Said their goodbyes and went on through their day. Natsu heading higher up the mountain trying to reach its peak, he could see magic up there… Magic like the third one in his heart…

So he climbed, and climbed willing to reach the top of that mountain if what he believed was true. If there was something up there as he believed!

And it was.

The air was static, his hair frizzing up. A large grin came over his face as he looked on towards the large entrance. Inside glaring at him were two large yellow blue eyes. He could practically hear the amazing energy coming off of the large beast, though he was not thrown for a loop when the dragon simply blew a ball of static electricity towards him.

He smirked as he managed to hold the ball in one hand, going with the same tactic as before… He was getting the plasma burning in his fire. Binding his magic force with the ball of electricity. Absorbing it into his arm, which of course went numb. Feeling the power up he looked up at the beast as it now began to crawl free from the cave. He never felt happier he left the pups in a safe place, away from the area…

"For a child with Igneel's soul… To appear before me. Rise again king! In the form of a pink haired child. So you are Igneel's dragon slayer, I take you enjoy the title, 'Prince'?" the large Dragon, easily 50 feet tall. A large beast indeed…having bright white scales across his back littered with protruding azure blue prongs and spikes, along his spine was a large series of metallic prongs all convulsing with electricity. Each on having sharp tips as they were short and curved inwards. Spikes along his joints, mostly his shoulders and spine, leading from the tip of his tail to his head.

"I am his slayer, though the giant gecko left… And I have a belief on where he is. I need you to answer me, not before a deal though." Natsu said as he stared at the legendary creature, not a single hint of surprise nor fear etched his face. Even in his eyes, the eyes of the dragon. This was a surprise.

"I wonder child, what in your right mind makes you believe I; Eilnier, King of Thunder Dragons! Would bow to a deal with a small pink haired child like yourself, knowing the only reason you still stand is you amuse me. Most would sully themselves and trail ass back to the bottom of this mountain, speak now boy before I test the boundaries in which a 'Prince' lies." Eilnier spoke in his deep rumbling voice, his pride showing just as Igneels did as he rose high and stood over Natsu with a single eye on him. The other closed.

"Firstly, I'm not a mere child…I've lived through danger like this for the thrill. I lived with a dragon before, my FATHER is a king of Dragons and I take the name prince. I may be a child under you. But I will run your gigantic ass the same way Igneel did. I might be only a prince, but with your training I'll be a prince with a dragon's rage. I spoke with Igneel about his ventures. He spoke to me about other dragons he never knew made it or not. Though now… I found the dragon of Thunder, and much more. The king. I don't give two damns about pissing myself, if you wanted to kill me I'd either be dead or we'd both be bruised. I got more to do, so if it came down…" Natsu then hardened his eyes, unknowingly allowing his full magic pressure to release.

Surprising the King, Eilnier's eyes began to widen as he opened his other eye. Showing the dark slit of yellow and black. Surrounded by blue. The dragon grinned, the boy had the pride of dragon's young. The magic he had was no mere tickle either. Nothing but rage could be felt. He couldn't help but take on an heir either, if he didn't who was to take his place as a Dragon King?

The child was young but he held promise, promise he had only seen when he looked into Igneel's as he promised to put Acnologia to an end. But this child… And even before! He absorbed the ball of thunder he wisp towards him and absorbed it! One handed even!

If he held as much promise, and was the end for Acnologia. He was placing his bets on this child now, he even was cocky as a dragon. Quick thinker as well… But that's bad too. Means he'll start to lose a challenge, and interest if he kills Acnologia, then what?

"...I'd make sure I don't go down, even if I have to destroy some of my body to do it."

With that, it was settled. The Heir of the Fire and Lightning Dragon kings! This now made Elanier think, what if he found Grim… The soul dragon, or Keil and Neil, the Sun and Moon Dragons!? There are still 12 to 15 dragons without Heirs! He remember that it was nearly 25 but some went off scale and others simply were murdered for a man in the council the humans have. They were old… So he imagined they took their deaths peacefully.

"You know boy… Even if not a Dragon, you still seem to be exactly like your father. Worst part of it all, you for some reason look like him. If you were to get the scar on your chest like his, I wouldn't be able to tell you apart. You're both dumbasses with passion, but I enjoy that. It's why I was glad to be born as Brother to Igneel, even if he was the older brother." Eilnier said, unknowingly grasping Natsu's full attention to one fact.

"Brother?" Natsu asked with a cocked head and a lost look in his eyes, completely inquisitive.

"Yes, brother. All the Dragon Kings are related, meaning you are actually my nephew. As annoying as one I could believe you are, amazing right? But no, the King of all Dragons held multiple mates, all of every element. The most powerful of them all. I was the child of a thunder Dragon, a very powerful mother. Igneel the child of a fire Dragon. She was fierce and kind, exactly how Igneel is. In simple terms, my father has over a hundred kids. Nearly thousands. Simply because he is King, even the Elemental Dragon kings can have up to nearly 7 mates. More depending on what the Dragoness wants." Eilnier spoke with a tone Natsu somehow knew wasn't good on him, there was something wrong. He'd ask later.

"Mh. You'll take me under your wing then?" Natsu asked staring at the Dragon, looking into it's eyes. They were different like his, the left being a black and yellow with orange with a blue selera. The other simply Black and blue with a white one.

"I have no choice but to, I am your Uncle. When a bad father goes missing who's the one that gets the child?" This made Eilnier grin as well as Natsu, running to the dragon and hugging his neck. Getting shocked heavily in the process, making him jolt randomly as Eilnier was just staring a grin still on his face.

"Wanna try again brat, that was pretty funny. HAHAHA!" Eilnier laughed looking at Natsu as he twitched on the ground in agony, before jumping up and working Eilnier in the face.

"That's for being a Jerk!" Natsu said as he grinned at the large Dragon, his fist without flames. Incoming the Dragon back to the side of the cave, knocking his large maw against the walls of the cold hole.

"You've got a lot to learn if you call that a punch!"

And with that! Natsu now furthers his prowess, trying more and more for the strongest title to which he'd earn through blood sweat and tears… Heartache and hatred. Emotional turmoil and physical strain. The new King, was on his way. Only if he knew the pain he'd have to go through.

Especially… The pups.

Speaking of which! He had to get them!

After a furious fight and some traveling later, Natsu was now holding his Two pups next to a campfire they had in a cave as Elnier laid down tail wrapped in a loose circle around his new children. It was odd to gain connection fast, but it took seconds for Dragons to know if they liked one another or not. And he loved the little herd he had, judgement can't always be based on looks, but dragons connected much deeper.

"Rest now Natsu, Tomorrow we'll be leaving for dangerous lands… The pups can stay on this mountain. Below it is nothing but beasts and creatures, and up here is nothing but spells cast to guard my cave… We have a long day tomorrow, you should prepare. I will show you no Mercy…" Elnier spoke as he did looked down at Natsu who was currently staring back at him. His mismatched eyes dark as he stared back into his eyes.

"The pups will be safe, that's all I can worry about… If they're safe I can't be anything but happy. You told me before, that where we are going, there's nothing but continuous storms. You control thunder right? I can't help but ask, are you a thunder dragon, or a storm dragon? As in, "can you use wind magic"?" Natsu asked staring Elnier in his eyes.

"Smart kid, I am a thunder dragon, yet I would be classified as a storm dragon. I can use wind magic, though it is permanently binder to a few of my spells and attacks. Tomorrow, you shall immediately start off in Lightning Dragon Slayer magic. Be warned… There is no easy way here. You will not get off light." Elnier spoke with a slight boom to his voice showing he had no interests in being soft.

Natsu looked at the dragon with a fearsome look, " I don't plan on being easy either, I'm taking one of your horns and spine old man." Natsu said as he began to finally lay down.

"And if you manage, I'd gladly forge them into any weapon you choose…tomorrow. We spill blood, and the thunder shall rage." Elnier said as he began to close his eyes. He was prepared to harm Natsu, for he had to be ready for what other foes await him. He knew Igneel laid rest inside his soul, he felt sad that he had to do the same…

When Natsu and Elnier woke, they were quick to move as time was of the essence. Natsu riding Elnier all the way to the Land of Infinite Calamity, where storms and lightning raged on eternal. It was simply a large island in the ocean, it was far but not far enough as it was easy to get to with Elnier's speed. Landing, Natsu was immediately struck with lightning. Causing him to shake as he wasn't ready nor expecting the thunder to strike him.

Falling from Elnier's back, Natsu quickly rolled as thunder began to strike furiously in the areas he was in before. Looking to Elnier who simply too each hit with a straight face, one showing he didn't even feel the shock. Simply basked in the electric glow. When the lightning bolt struck in front of Natsu, he attempted to use his absorption but even then. The magic caused him To shake in furious pain. Falling onto his back and growling.

"The hell is this lightning?" Natsu shouted in anger only to be hit again directly in the neck this time, making him growl in anger.

This made Elnier grin darkly. "I'm amazed boy, you haven't realized the lightning is striking directly at you yet I've only been hit once by chance? The lightning follows magic sources, it goes after life. Hence… The Land of Calamity. Here, you will learn to completely hide your presence without a single thought, when you manage to get that down. You will then proceed to me, I'll tell you your next part of the training… Till then. I shall rest, your snoring kept me up all night." Elnier stated, laying his large maw on his front paws. Grinning as he began to practically vanish from Natsu's sense. Now even when he thought of it, he never actually felt Elnier's presence unless he wanted him to… That meant this King was surely no fool.

Natsu, Gaining a serious and dark look, grinned. Another challenge, loss of presence? Easy, it won't take more than a few tries. Even with the eye of adaptation, which he wasn't even focused on using. No. He would do this on his own, even so. His magic was still at zero currently even with that nap. When he absorbed that ball of lightning from Elnier, it depleted his reserves instantly… The drawback of absorption. Something Qin, before she passed, said was unique even upon gods. Which they could only complete through their own magic element.

Even now, he knew it would take about a week before his reserves were full and half of one for them to get back to normal charge time, having his mind back on target he quickly stepped back with his right foot, turning his left to match placement and focused his dragon senses to their greatest.

'To lose my presence… Hm, would that mean containing my magical energy? My aura still is flowing, this lightning strikes anything it feels is alive. How that works, Is another question. Right now, containment.' Thinking at a rapid pace, Natsu turned once more dodging lightning as it began to strike even more frequently, attacking him a thousand times more viciously. Jumping back with a large step he felt the largest blast of lightning strike in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, he began to feel his magic energy rise from rage. The only way it could ever work in the end. It was still depleted meaning when his adrenaline dropped, he was fucked. Calming himself down, he dodged again and again. Finally managing to drop his aura through hard concentration. He felt himself reach a level of tranquil he didn't believe, couldn't believe! It was too fast and he knew it was more than the eyes that aided him.

Feeling his body heat and sensing his own magical presence, he connected with the magic in the air. Latching on, realizing that every point where flames erupted from him was the blend or mix between his magic and the magic in the air. Starting to realize the differences between the two, he began to understand the connection. Feeling as the magic in the air connected directly to his made the sense feel incomprehensibly the same.

Grin still present, Natsu began to feel his Adrenaline drop, making him fall down to the ground breathing heavily. His magic was now near a negative… If he used anymore he'd be sure to blackout. It was hard to keep himself awake now, he couldn't feel his bones, anything reaching with his body except touch. He couldn't even feel himself. He was tired. Dead tired, but he knew something absolutely amazing.

Magic was a thousand times more complicated, it's not the way your body works. It's the way your mind does. Magic isn't something somebody is born with and completely understands. The only thing they know is it's their life and existence. They don't know what It can truly do.

Beforehand, when he attempted to mask himself, he thought that keeping it within himself would make it hard to sense. Instead of focusing it on one point. The magic in his body, he focused it on every point. The magic in the air…

Grinning, Natsu finally felt himself start to lose consciousness. He was tired. Only physically. What he didn't know is Elnier was grinning as well, watching the progress being made over the span of half an hour. The large Dragon watched as his new pupil lost consciousness and began to stand. Walking up to the boy and wrapping him with his tail.

'It is still early… I Shall wake the boy in four hours. His presence is still going to be an issue. The fact he has no magic will be one as well, for a short while. From here on, it's self defense classes.'

It was exactly that as well.

Soon as the eyes of the son of Dragons and Wolves woke, he was forced to control his presence. Almost instinctively. It was mostly a mechanic of the eye telling him to do so, not literally or mentally. More it's literal function was to adapt to the environment. Every way he thought of as an out to survive through said environment was automatic, especially if he learned himself. Along with the eye making sure it's master wasn't struck by the lightning from the area around, It was focused on making him able to withstand the pressure on its master's body, who was currently holding up a large boulder before chucking it into the distance. Nearly easily. Only a bit of strain.

"You said 15 thrown and I get to see the pups again?" Natsu asked as he looked at His Uncle.

"Exactly that, if you can clear out the next mile in under an hour you can have the whole tomorrow with them." Elnier spoke, a light mirth in his eyes as he knew the boy could do it, only knowing it would be an aid to both parties.

"A whole day!?" Natsu shouted, to which the EDK shook his head yes. With this, Natsu kicked in high gear. The entirety of the large area surrounded by boulders and rocks was completely cleaned out by being thrown Miles away. Sometimes being thrown into one another. To say Elnier was pleased was an understatement, the boy finished in 25minutes…

Looking down at Natsu, he watched as the boy breathed heavily before turning and rushing up to him. Bright lights in his eyes as he had the happiest smile, one even able to win against the heat of Igneel's. This caused Elnier to laugh, causing Natsu to wonder what he was laughing at, only to get lifted up onto the EDK's Back. And flown back to his brothers.

The rest of the day was wasted with hunting, baths, and stories. It was then, when Natsu took his clothes off to take a bath, Elnker noticed something odd on Natsu's back. He would question the boy, but he knew Igneel was not willed enough to even hurt a human without cause. He couldn't hit a child unless it was his. Even then it was hard to do, but he knew the man would never leave a mark like so.

It worried him of the boy's past, what events could've lead him here. All he knew was he'd been through a lot in his short life on living. Too much, even for a Dragon fledgling. There was never war like this between Dragons until the year of Acnologia. He knew the child had been through the razor, he just hoped he could help.

And help he did. Over the span of 2 years, he watched over the three children , aided them in growth, and gave Natsu his abilities, reigning him as the Thunder Dragon King. Teaching him every little detail he knew of Lightning magic, as well as what he observed through his years, Martial arts, something that came around years into the dragon wars to aid fighting tactics. This information would later on form Natsu's future in the understanding of magic, which was his main goal.

Then the worst thing to Natsu had happened… The Dragon king had come down with an illness. Something Natsu never foresaw. It was killing the dragon from his magic container specifically, when asked by the crying boy and whining wolves. He simply stated, "guess age finally reached me… And that damn Acnologia as well, evil abomination of a man. *wheeze* Natsu, I need you to promise me something… I need you to do something for me…"

Natsu's eye widened as tears began to spill out, tears of fear… 'No…"

"I need you to do something for me…"

"Not you too…" Natsu whispered, the pups looking up to him and whining as tears fell. They hardly spoke, as they were not adapt to the magic like their mother and simply preferred beastial impositions.

"I'm sorry Natsu, I did not foresee the tragedy to befall you. I never knew of your past and I never asked as that is not what makes you who you are child…*cough* I fear this has happened to you before and I am sorry I must ask of this request. *wheeze*...I need you-" It Was then, Elnier began a fit of coughing, blood coming from the Dragon's mouth. As the blood spilled on Natsu's face he felt an instinct in his mind almost take control. Fighting it back as he tried to focus on the memories when Elnier finally allowed the pups to train with them. Having fun and discovering new abilities to fire bound to the pups.

Elnier, finally speaking after his fit of coughing, "Natsu Dragneel, Son of the For Dragon King! *Fit of coughs* and heir of the Thunder Dragon King, The lord of Storms… to simply do what is in your nature…" Elnier then opened both eyes to stare at Natsu, the pale blue staring into his soul as the EDK whispered the last part.

"To slay a Dragon, and Claim a birthright...become… A true dragon slayer, and slay that abomination Acnologia! Avenge the good dragon's who were spayed by that *wheeze* monster! Avenge me Natsu, with the power that is yours! Slay me! And rise!" Natsu began to stand as he began to realize so, he finally figured the ability of the eye the dragon had. The eye he never used simply because of it's power.

It controlled one's nervous system…

The pups began to cry, they didn't want this. Why did everyone loved by him have to be slain by him! Was it some cruel destiny to be fulfilled! Was he to slay his only family to save the world?!

Oh how little they knew was to come his way, Natsu Dragneel with be the most distraught young man, to ever exist. He was to become, an abomination himself… To save everyone else. Even without his will to do so, life will force him. His happiness and pride of being a Savior the only influential thing he could possess, his passion and love for others being his downfall and his reasoning. His Dogma, live to be a Savior, rise as a slayer, and become this world's greatest triumph. For all is on him now. From her on… He shall take on his demons and break them free.

And show them his own damnation is ruled over by his will! There will be no darkness stronger than his own and no light as blinding.

In the moment, that blinding light happened to be the tears falling from his face as the light of his arm, covered in a lightning body and sharpened at the tip. A blade, created from his own magic to slay him.

Fitting… Huh?

Unable to control himself, the dragon forced Natsu to stand in front of him. Arms raised as the body of lightning sheathed over Natsu's arm, sharpened itself till it was a solid form. A foot and a half long. Perfect for piercing the rough hide of the dragon. In that moment, Natsu heard a voice. A voice he never thought he would...ever again.

"A cruel world my child of wolves~...life is most evil to those who do the greatest things for it. It's okay to cry, no more pain like this will come your way my child. I'm sure… For now, end your uncle's pain…tell my pups, I love them… Just as I love all my children." Tears flowed from Natsu's eyes like a river, spilling out, he forced himself to charge with lightning before saying one spell.

"Lightning dragon's Flash bomb…" Causing a loud boom to happen but no damage whatsoever to, looking Elnier in the eyes as he coughed blood and smirked at him. Natsu smiled back as he cried before ramming the blade directly into the Dragon's heart. It's element killing him instantly. No pain whatsoever.

What happened next frightened Natsu, but calmed him down, making him more calm than he ever thought possible. He could feel his right eye morph, changing as the color drained from Elnier's eye and replaced Natsu's.

He could still feel Qin's eye as a presence, the blood creeping up his arm and surrounding his body. Digging holes into his skin and filling his veins he felt rage pent up finally release itself as scaled covered his face and arms. Bright white and Dark eerie red began to cover the fronts of his body structure. His back being the only exception as it was covered as well, metal prongs breaking from his forearm and spine before charging with lightning.

Eyes bright and raging. His soul as well, as he unleashed the loudest draconic roar ever. Literally breaking the sound barrier and blowing away the cave roof and releasing pressure, forcing the pups to dig into the ground and hide behind large boulders.

Roaring still, Natsu felt the presence of the Dragon appear and slowly face. The dragon's body and all, being broken and forced into his body, the pain unreal as the wound finally began to heal as the dragon King of Storms was no more.

Nor was the magic inside of Natsu, who passed out after releasing his rage. Crying as his eyes went misty and his body fell. Hitting the smooth stone as he lost consciousness, quiet hit the pups as well as the ability to breath. The magic inside of Natsu now ten fold what even an A rank mate would have, even an S- Class, the eye of adaptation making every twice the add to what was originally the price.

Yin and Yang, quietly snuck around the rock, finally able to see. Noticing the dragon kind was gone and sniffles some. Seeing their brother, ran to him and began licking his face. Having grown two times their original size, now as large as great Danes and then some.

They could only hear him say a few words in his sleep… Words they never heard. Or were they names? That, they didn't know…

"Zeref… Tartaros…"

The pups cocked their heads sideways, just as Natsu began to laugh in his rest.

"Big brother…"

(A few hours later, a couple miles away)

A long black haired kid with burning red eyes and metal piercings was seen looking up to a large misty midnight purple Dragon. It's eyes were shimmering gold, but it seemed to not have a physical form. Only a dark look to it's eye… But warming all the same. It looked at the child with a sort of grin.

"You're looking for my little brother? Funny, I was looking for my heir…" The large dragon grinned showing sharp pearly whites.

"Da hell are ya' on about? I asked where is Metallicana, not if ya were related, ya fucking mascara." This then caused the boy to stop, looking to the side in wonder as to himself…

'The fuck is mascara…?'

The dragon grinned and chuckled, "My name is Deus Dakra~ I'll Tell you what you want to know, only if you can master my magic. If you can't… I'll just eat you." The large beast spoke, making The boy sweat.

"Gajeel Redfox! And I'm gonna kick yer ass!" Gajeel raked as he let his magic power up.

"Ah with all pleasure~" the dragonleaned down with darkness crawling from it and covering what seemed to be miles in blackness frightening Gajeel just a bit, red eyes appearing beside Gajeel as the next words spoke. Gajeel shakily turned around before eyes widened.

"I DARE YOU TO TRY!" a large monster was known to be there but not seen, large claws seemingly tearing through the darkness and grabbing him before slamming him down hard to the ground making him cough up spit. And a bit of blood, placing a claw to his chest, Gold shimmering all that could be seen above him.

He was forced to the ground as the claw cut from his shoulder to his hip, blood leaking as he cried out pain. He wouldn't give in, attempting to shoot out a iron rod only for it to literally be pried from his body and bent. The Dragon showed himself once more. This time, it was a more horrid face. One of malice and hunger.

"you're a child before a dragon! Slayer or not, you're nothing to a King! Not any king, the king of Darkness! Cry little boy, last chance. Heir. Or death!"

Left with the two decisions, Gajeel knew he couldn't win. So he simply gave a hoarse. "Fine…"

It shocked him next as the large Dragon grinned and said, "Really? Wow, that makes this easier. On we go!"

What gajeel was rewarded with was a semi-large dragon with the same appearance, simply standing with a smile like some form of dog. Also! He wasn't hurt he was still standing, just with wide eyes and a bit of sweat.

It was an illusion.

"YOU FU-"

And like that I've cranked another one out, I'm sorry if it became confusing any parts of the way, just tell me what you see a problem with and I'll attempt to get it fixed and prepped. My writing style is still going through multiple trials

Another thing, when Natsu actually gets to fairy tail he'll be around 12 to 14 years old. Natsu is going to get Elements some time early on, because I'm thinking of giving him two more. Can't tell, but you'll like it. Badass Natsu is a thing I'm hoping to achieve. Right now, we're just at hardass baby Natsu. Who's just a bit of a badass when having serious conversations.

As well as when I do get Natsu to fairy tail, he is going to be friends with Gajeel, and like wizard saint with Gajeel there with him from the start. The way I show this is going to be awesome, but don't believe he's just going to do everything easily. He's going to be going against some stronger people, like ten times before, I'm expanding this shit like DBZ. Just a little kid kicking ass then boom! There's fucking gods coming for your planet and everyone thought they were strong until you.

The dragon slayers are going to be some A1 mofos. Magic in this story is different, as Natsu has a different take of it. Him being Etherious, First born to magic as well. I want people to learn how to use magic as he does, just not on his level. Gajeel will have an ability too, but I'll show it later on. Everyone has like a quirk for magic.

He may be a bit of a dumbass and powerhouse, but earlier, when Natsu came across Gray and Lyon, he just handled some Vulcans. Ur was more worried with getting her Kids to a safe place then take them out. She just didn't want them in the crossfire. Natsu is going to grow into being hardass badass, he's going to get his ass kicked hard at times. So is Gajeel, who I am now introducing.

Anyway. Read, review and hopefully enjoy… I just hope this came out right…
