Chapter 4
Rather face-to-snout three massive dragons
Lucy's POV
Holy sh… Smile, don't show fear. Act like it's normal.
"Welcome" a voice spoke. That's the voice which called me here. I think the voice came from the red dragon, his scales are beautiful they sort of glow red in the darkness, it looks as though he is smiling at me. "Wow. She hasn't run away, fainted, peed herself or even flinched. I am impressed" a gruffer voice spoke. I think that came from the darkest dragon, he doesn't have the glow the first dragon had, however his black scales reflect the light in the cavern, he is around the same size as the red dragon although his expression was more of a snarl than a smile.
"Even I'm shocked, I've never met a human who hasn't even flinched at one dragon let alone someone who doesn't flinch at three" a melodic voice muses. I assume this voice comes from the last dragon. She, the voice sounds girly, is a very pale blue, almost white. Are those clouds surrounding her? That's odd. Her expression is defiantly kinder than the black dragon's but less happy than the red ones. It's more caring than anything else.
Wait red, black and sky blue. That sounds familiar. It couldn't be, could it?
No one's POV
"You wouldn't happen to be Igneel would you?" Lucy directs at the red dragon, who is too shocked by the question to move or react "And you two are Metalicana and Gradine. Aren't you?" she gesturing to the black dragon and blue dragon respectively. All three dragons stare at the girl who was not only unafraid but also appears to know them
"We seem to be at a disadvantage, you know us but we don't know you" the red dragon says as he snaps out of his shock.
"Oh your right. I'm so sorry. Hello, my name is Lucy Heartfilia. I know your children" Lucy giggles
"You know Wendy, Natsu and Gajeel?" Gradine asks
"Yeah we are in the same guild, Fairy Tail" Lucy explains
"At least they found somewhere" mutters Metalicana, a soft smile is evident on his face for a millisecond before his scowl reappears
"Now for why we called you here" Igneel continues "It's about the egg you were protecting. It's a dragon egg"
"What? I thought it was an exceed egg" Lucy gasps
"I don't know what an exceed is, but it's defiantly a dragon egg. A dragon egg which is about to hatch, we noticed you were protecting it from those who wish to destroy it, for which we are immensely grateful for. We would have helped but we cannot leave this cavern, all we could do was try and scare people of with our voices and what little magic we have left" Igneel explained
"You guys are the Ghost?" Lucy stammered
"Ghost? We could be this ghost you speak off" Gradine says "We want you to raise it once it hatches"
"We can't raise it we are trapped in a cave" Metalicana growls
"We will help you by teaching her to control her powers as she gains then. We will help you learn the power too, if you accept" Igneel added
"Raise it? Help with my power?" Lucy asked
"Yes if you take her and look after her as she grows we will help her control her power and train you with slayer techniques. We would but if we leave here we will be a danger to our children, you see we contracted a disease which cause us to attack our family" Igneel points out with sadness in his voice
"That's why you left? I will stay here until the egg hatches and raise her but how will you help train her" Lucy questioned
"You need to come back every month so we can help her and yes that is why we left" Gradine answers
"What do I do when she gets too big for me to look after" Lucy looks concerned
"She won't" Igneel answers "Due to how powerful she is she has a smaller size than most dragons, it's a bit like scorpions the smaller the size the more powerful the venom. She should never grow too big. She will hatch within the next few days"
