~Moon's P.O.V.~
For the past 10 years, I have been living alone on a snowy mountain. I lived in a cave with a dragon. I learned it's magic. I trained with the dragon, who had became more of a mother figure to me than a trainer.
But one day, she disappeared. Not a trace was left of her. Her sent led to nowhere in particular, as if she had had vanished into thin air. After she left, something inside of me changed. I'm not exactly sure what changed, but something did.
The harsh cold wind whipped at my face and clothes. Normal humans couldn't have lasted a day up here, but I on the other hand am resistant to cold. In fact, I am probably emit a cold air myself.
Today was just another regular day - except for one thing. I quietly slipped past the snow-covered trees, my rabbit-skin clothes making no noise as the wind blew by. I slowly broke into a run. There was only one difference with today. There were new smells. It seemed as though there are travelers in the mountain today. It is not rare to see travelers on my mountain, but it is uncommon.
My clothes consisted of a rabbit-skin shirt that showed most of my belly and had no sleeves. My shoes were just some more rabbit-skin covering my heels and shins. My skirt, which only stopped at the middle of my thighs, was made of a fox's pelt. It all fit on me snugly, and was easy to move around in.
Running downhill in snow was tiring, so I used the magic my second mother gave me. A light layer of ice covered my feet. As I skied down-hill, I grabbed onto a low-hanging branch and swung into the air. Using my nose, I pinpointed where the travelers were, and what direction they were headed. With a jump of alarm, I used even more of my magic and made a pathway straight towards the newcomers. The snow suddenly lifted and swept to the side. I Instantly dropped to the ground and take off running. I remember something Shapira told me once before.
~Flashback~
"Most Dragonslayers can only use their element for their attacks. That is what Dragonslayer magic is for. Only you can control you element."
"If I use Dragonslayer magic, then why can only I control my element?" I had asked.
"Because, if I hadn't done something when I first found you, you would have died. I gave you a part of my soul. Now, souls are very precious things. They can be shared, but it comes with a cost. If the unoriginal owner is to die, then so shall the original. That is why I want you to take precaution when you face danger. I do not want either you or I, to die."
~End of flashback~
I ran as fast as I could, my magic boosting my speed tenfold.
~Gray's P.O.V.~
"Awww... It's so cold!" Lucy complained as she tread on the thick snow.
"Well, it obviously has nothing to do with the fact that we're on a snowy mountain, in a northern area of the country. We're probably close to the top by now," I responded flatly. I liked the cold. It felt like an old friend. Lucy huffed with determination, and speed-walked past Natsu, Erza, and I. Wendy, Carla, and Happy had flown into the sky earlier, looking for easier paths to walk on. Not that there are any paths with snow this deep.
Three or five arguments with Natsu later, we were still walking to the top of the mountain.
"Gray..."
Without seeing her face, I knew Lucy had a glare on her face. "Hey! It's a big mountain alright? You can't blame me for that," I retorted.
"Oh please! Anything related to coldness is your fault, Popsicle stick," Natsu nonchalantly said, as he put his hands behind his neck.
"What was that, Flame brain?" I growled.
Erza caught up to us in almost an instant, an eyebrow raised with suspicion.
"Pfft. I said I'm glad you have my back..." Natsu whimpered.
"A-aye," I respond.
Lucy just sighed and walked further ahead.
"What was the herb called again?"
"Snow-wee-" Erza was cut off when Natsu saw Wendy, Carla, and Happy flying towards us at full speed. As soon as they were in yelling-distance, they cried out.
"Guys! Something's headed towards you! It's coming in fast! It's really powerful!" Wendy finished with an incredibly worried look. Suddenly I saw snow fly up in the distance. Natsu seems to see it as well. Suddenly the being swerved, and headed to an area ahead of us.
"Luce!" I hadn't even noticed that the thing was headed straight for Lucy, but Natsu had. He took off running towards the Celestial Mage. The rest of us were not far behind. We all came to a stop when we reached a large clearing. One side of the clearing was a cliff, while the other was a forest. Lucy was already halfway across when the ground began to shake.
"Step back!" Erza shouted to all of us. Suddenly, the ground beneath Lucy fell out from under her, as does all of the clearing's ground. Lucy's scream was ear piercing. Worry shot through my body.
"Lucy! Happy! Carla!" Natsu yelled. Just before he took off into the air, a great amount of snow exploded from the trees. We all turned our heads in the direction of the forest. A girl ran out of the newly-made pathway, then jumped into the air. Her tied-up, black hair stood out against the white mountainside. As she soared through the sky, I can't help but notice the small amount of clothes she wore. It seemed as though her clothes were made out of either rabbit or fox pelts. She suddenly stopped and dove straight over the cliff.
Without a second thought, I ran after her. "W-wait!"
~Moon's P.O.V.~
As I dove over the edge I could hear to voices behind me.
"W-wait!"
"Oh no you don't! Hold on Luce! I'm coming!"
One voice seemed strained, surprised. The other seemed threatening, deadly. But they both had something in common: worry. It was evident in their voices.
I could see the pile of snow that had fallen. As soon as I landed I tried picking up any thermal radiation in the snow. It was slight, but I picked up on it and began to make a hole straight down to the girl who had fallen.
I had to hurry, no human could survive this much cold if left in the snow any longer. I flung more snow to the side. I felt a small amount of heat coming closer by the second.
"Get away from Lucy!" A threatening voice sounded above. I looked up to see a young pink-haired man diving towards me, his fist engulfed in flames. In reaction to the fire I instantly put up a dome made up of thick ice, and continued to dig through the deep snow. I may be able to control snow and ice, but it does not mean its not dangerous when I am around.
"Natsu! Hold on!" The less-threatening voice called out.
Suddenly there was a pounding on my dome. As I dug further, it got louder. I had almost reached the girl, when a large crack echoed through the dome, and the. It shattered. I looked up, but continued digging. I had even began to use my hands. The pink-haired man, supposedly called Natsu, dove down and landed without a sound. Mostly because he landed in snow. I turned around and concentrated on my digging.
There was a sudden growl behind me. "Step away from the girl or I will end you."
I sighed. This 'Natsu' fellow was getting on my nerves. I justly ignored him. He took a step forward, his body lighting on fire. I winced and dug faster.
"Did you not hear me?"
"Natsu! Stop!" I looked up as Natsu ran toward me. I turned away and closed my eyes. I wasn't going to attack someone I did not know. I heard an impact, I just didn't feel one. I looked up to find a raven-haired man standing above me, his arms forming an 'X' as he blocked the blow from his companion. I noticed something about him. He didn't have his shirt on...
