Chapter 4
Destined Encounters
It was a beautiful day in Magnolia, no clouds in the sky and the sun was shining. An old man wearing a funny hat with striped clothes, with a head of white hair and a bushy mustache drinking a mug containing a questionable substance was slowly walking down the main street of the city with a smile on his face. The old man passed by vendors and all kinds of shops, but suddenly something caught his attention as he passed an ally, he stopped and backed himself up to look into the ally.
Sitting cross legged in the ally was a young boy, who from what the old man could observe with a curious expression had long and wild spiky pink hair, his whole upper body was covered in bandages and he wore some loose britches that were ragged and and exposed many parts of his legs. Though that wasn't the worst part of the boys appearance, he was scarred up around the few parts of his torso that wasn't covered by bandages and he looked filthy, but what broke the old mans heart more than anything was that the boy looked alone and appeared to be trying to sleep.
The old man decided with a smile on his face to speak with the boy " Hello how are you doing this morning!" the old man said smiling. Natsu opened one eye and looked at the old man arching an eyebrow, his hair was covering his eyes, Natsu decided to not be rude hoping maybe he could get some food from the old smiling man, it had been awhile since he had eaten, about one or two weeks and he was starving. " Alright...just trying to sleep is all." Natsu said with a hidden smirk on his face.
" Well why are you sleeping in an ally?" the old man asked with a mix of curiosity and concern on his " I don't have anywhere else to sleep!" Natsu said in a slightly raised tone. The two sat there in awkward silence for a few moments, " I tell you what why don't I buy you some breakfast...that sound good to you?" the old man said smiling down at the boy. The old man was pleased at the young boys reaction as Natsu looked up at the old man with a huge smile on his face " Thank you thank you thank you oh merciful god!" Natsu said as he was bowing up and down repeatedly, the old man just laughed and sweat dropped.
Natsu hesitated for a second before responding " my name is Natsu...Natsu Dragneel." Natse stated proudly " what should i call you old man?" Natsu said slyly.
" You can call me Master Makorav...now lets go get something to eat i bet you hungry." Makorav said with the same smile he's had on the whole time they were talking " you bet i am!"
They both started laughing as Natsu jumped up and started walking with Makorav. As they were walking " so what brings you to Magnolia?" Makorav asked with a curious expression.
" Well im actually looking for my dad!" Natsu said with a cheerful expression and a big smile plastered on his face " what happened to your father if i may ask?" Makorav asked with a mix of cheery and curiosity plastered on his face. " Weeelll...he left me...he disappeared." Natsu said in a quiet tone as he started to feel lonely again " im sorry to here that Natsu...i cant tell you how sorry i am." Makorav with a genuinely sad expression sighed
As the two walked the rest of the way without uttering any more words as they past crowds of people and vendors, one particular person who Natsu assumed was having a bad day pushed Natsu to the ground " watch where your going!" Natsu slowly but surly got up noticing the stranger was still glaring at him, Natsu tried to walk away but the stranger pushed him again this time Natsu punched him in the cheek sending him flying into a house. Makorav noticed the loud noise and turned around to see a man flying into a building, he quickly turned around to see who delivered the blow, and sure enough there was Natsu. " Natsu my boy what are you doing!" he said nervously as he fast walked over to the boy and snatched him by his collar and drag a screaming Natsu away.
Once they were a safe distance away Makorav dropped Natsu and said " boy what do you think your doing you cant just go around destroying houses like that!" Makorav yelled, Natsu looked at him with sad eyes " im sorry." Natsu muttered out. Makorav sighed and shook his head slowly " where in hell did you even get power like that kid!?" Makorav exclaimed, there was a moment of silence before Natsu said confusingly " well my father of course...he taught me everything i know!" Natsu said proudly.
" Well just try to keep it under control next time." Makorav and Natsu both laughed
" Well we should hurry before we miss breakfast!" Makorav said as they both laughed again. When they both reached their destination Natsu was astonished, it was a huge building with iron doors with flags with an interesting symbol everywhere to be seen and in front of the building perched on a gate was a big sign that said Fairytail. " Woah what is this place...its so awesome!!!" Natsu said excitedly, Makorav just looked at him and chucked " yes its quite amazing isnt it...this place is the guildhall for Fairytail." Makorav said as he took a drink of his mug.
" Fairytail?...well thats a weird name?" Natsu said as he gazed at the structure in awe. " Well thats the magic of the name...do fairys have tails?...do they even exists?...no one knows and thats why its called that because to find out would be an endless adventure!" Makorav exclaimed as he took another gulp from hismug.
" ohh i get it now!" Natsu said cheerfully his eyes full of life " Well lets get in their and get something to eat!" Makorav yelled " you read my mind im starving!" Natsu replied.
As the doors swung open Natsu was amazed at how big on the inside the place was. it had a long bar with stools lined up along it, there were also chairs and tables everywhere as well as an upstairs floor that overlooked the first floor. " This place is amazing!!!" Natsu yelled as he looked around, there were a lot of people t the bar drinking and talking, Natsu even noticed some kids around his age sitring at a table,next thing he knew his stomach rumbled " lets get you something to eat " Makorav said, they both ordered there food sat down and began eating, Makorav just sweat dropped at how much food the boy was eating. About 20 plates later Natsu patted his now overgrown belly " thanks Master Makorov...its been a while since I've eaten that good!" Natsu exclaimed " its no problem." As Makorav looked at his wallet and cried. " So Natsu what do you think of the guild so far?" Makorav asked Natsu
" This place is awsome!!!" Natsu yelled as everyone in the guild looked at him and Makorav sweat dropped " would you...even consider joining?" Makorav asked almost hesitantly trying not to push the boy away from joining " I dont know...right now im looking for my father." Natsu said with a frown gracing his lips. " I know that... and we can help you find him...everyone has there reasons for joining Fairytail." Macorav said " really...you can help me find him!" Natsu said with hope in his eyes " of couse we can and meanwhile while your looking for him you can go on quests and have a family here to support you!" Makorav said with a grin.
Natsu was confused " A family...ive never had any one except my father?" Natsu said confusion on his face, " thats right...everyone in fairytail is your family...we all look out and take care of each other...so will you join our family... Natsu?" Macorav said as he held the same grin he has had for a while now, Natsu hesitated for a moment now he suddenly noticed all of the people around them staring waiting for an answer, even the other kids had started listening on the conversation then " yes i will join Fairytail!!" the guild erupted in cheers " so master has brought another brat to the family!" a man wearing a brown jacket with a green undershirt, jeans, and boots said while smoking a pipe and grooming his interesting hair style.
" Seems he has Wakaba" another man grinned, he had short raven colored hair and wore a white long jacket with a black shirt that had an s on it as well as black jeans with black shoes.
" Welcome to Fairytail Natsu...everyone lets party!!" Makorov cheered. the rest of the day the elders of the guild drank and partied meanwhile for Natsu he was introduced to some of the guild members. Natsu was sitting at a table when he noticed several of the other kids walking towards him. Three of them had white hair with blue eyes, there were two girls and one boy, the oldest looking girl wore all black clothes including a skirt, crop top, and high heels, she also had her hair tied up in a pony tail. The next sister who looked the youngest had shorter hair and wore a pink top and shorts, and the boy was of stocky build and wore a blue suit. The other two kids who approached him was another boy and girl. The boy had black hair and was wearing nothing but his underwear, he also had a necklace. The girl on the other hand had scarlett colored hair and wore armor on her upper body and she wore a skirt.
As they walked up to him Natsu stared at them for a few awkward moments until the half nude boy broke the silence " what are you looking at pinkie!?" Natsu knowing that he wasn't worth his time without hesitation got up and started to walk away , but then felt something tug on his shoulder. Natsu sighed and turned to see the nude boy with his hand grabbing his shoulder, Natsu wanted to get to know people but at the moment he was overwhelmed and was thinking about the future and wasn't in the mood to socialize.
" Let...me...go." Natsu said quietly but loud enough for them to hear " and what if i don't!" he replied slyly, but before he knew it Natsu had slung him over his shoulder and was on his back with the breath knocked out of him, then Natsu started to walk away, the kids looked at him dumbfounded, as he walked away Natsu felt something behind him " Ice make hammer!!!" Natsu felt something big hit him in the center of the back and was sent flying into a wall. Everyone in the guild noticed this " Well that didn' take long" someone laughed loudly. Suddenly Master Makarov felt a huge increase in magic pressure in the guildhall. At this point Natsu was fuming with rage as he rose from the rubble he looked towards the boy who was smirking an aura rose Natsu was ready to fight
