What Is Magic: Chapter 3
A/N: Light: Wow, Dark, this is the third chapter all day.
Dark: So? Why does it matter, you stupid cat?
Light: Well, this is our first story ever, and why did you call me a cat?
Dark: What comes before cat?
Light: It's p—Hey! That is so sexist, Dark!
Dark: How is sexist if we're both girls?
Light: …
Both: Fairy Tail is owned by Mashima-san.
Zeref wandered in the forest for hours. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. All he wanted to do was get away from his father. This was how he would defy him. Zeref would even learn magic, not because it reminded him of his father, but because it was a way to defy his father. But where would he learn magic?
"Gah! I hate you, you rotten, old man! I just wanna learn magic! You son of a bitch, I hate you! I'll kill you, you bastard!" Zeref screamed towards the sky. His voice echoed through the forest, leaving every creature quiet. Every creature was quiet…That was strange. The forest is an entire ecosystem. Why would the birds cease to sing and the water cease to flow? Zeref looked around, puzzled by the absolute silence.
"Do you truly wish to learn magic?" boomed a voice. Zeref looked around again. No human could ever produce a sound do deep. But those were the least of Zeref's concern. All he wanted to do was defy his father and learn magic.
"Yes, I do, but who are you? In fact, where are you?" asked Zeref.
"I am Mokushiroku the Death Dragon, and I can teach you magic. Tell me your name, human," boomed the dragon.
"Zeref. I…I am Zeref Dragneel. Teach me magic, Death Dragon."
Mokushiroku began to laugh. "Do you know what my name, Mokushiroku, mean, human? It means "the end of the world! I am the strongest dragon. No other dragon has ever bested me. They all fear me! And I will make you fear me as well. Just like my first dispel. Do you still wish to learn from me, Mokushiroku the Death Dragon?"
Zeref nodded, "I want to learn magic, and you are granting me just that. So teach me like you said, dragon!"
The dragon laughed again. "Are you sure—?"
"Teach me, you stupid beast!" Zeref screamed. "I am perfectly capable of learning from you, dragon!"
Zeref glared at the Death Dragon with all the hate and pain and malice that had accumulated over the years. "Ryu-sensei to you, ningen," said the dragon.
Trees crunched under Mokushiroku's weight as he departed deeper into the forest. Zeref stood there, puzzling over what just happened.
I'm going to learn magic.
Zeref smiled. He was going to learn magic. He was going to defy his father in the biggest way possible. He was going to save his brother from the life they already they already lived. There was no way Zeref would let his dear brother, Natsu, face the hardships he faced. Maybe Natsu could learn magic too. Maybe, maybe, maybe. There were so many new opportunities that were open to Zeref now. I could even surpass Ryu-sensei.
Zeref knew he was getting too excited. He hadn't ever started yet, and he was already fantasizing about being the strongest wizard in the world. But then again, there were so many new opportunities that were open to Zeref now.
A/N: Dark: You better have liked it!
Light: Dark, please calm down…
Dark: I can't. Natsu's been poking me ever since chapter one!
Light: Natsu, please don't poke Dark. She gets…angry when she's bothered.
Natsu: Aw! I just wanna know what happens! I mean, where does Igneel come in?
Dark: All in due time, Natsu! *Seething with anger*
Light: -_-* Anywho…! Read and Review! Yonde kurete arigato! (Thanks for reading!)
