Hello all of you beautiful people out there. I bet everyone is excited knowing that Natsu's part has been revealed, sort of. Well I'm glad to let you know that he will be formally introduced today. Back story time yay. I wish there were more Natsu X Gray stories out you know. It's always the same pairings everyday that I check. Nalu; Graylu whatever the hell pairing name for Gajeel and Levy is. Too many of them need more Natsu X Gray. Their pretty much the main yaoi crack pairing in Fairy Tail. I think so anyway in my opinion. On with the story at once.
(Gray's POV)
The carriage bucked and shook as the horses quickly ran down the road. I was clutching onto the seats below me so that I don't fall out once again. Fried has followed my lead after he fell out and hit his head on the seats in front of us. I tried my best not to laugh but it was too funny. The knights were just as quick as ever; they were determined to find this dark wizard and make him pay. I'm just nervous about all this. I've never faced anyone other than Ur and there thinking I can take out a deadly dark wizard and possible minions. They must be insane. They only thing that will happen to me if I even try is I'll probably be killed in the first 2 minutes. It would be a miracle if I won let alone be alive. "Gray, are you alright; you look a little green." Fried asked. I jumped and looked over in his direction. A hand was held over my heart.
"Yeah, I'm fine. There's no need to scare me." I said nervously. He raised an eyebrow and I sighed. I sat back against the seat and looked in front of me. "I'm sorry; I'm just really nervous about this fight. I've never battled anyone besides Ur. How the hell am I supposed to take down a dark wizard who could kill me?"
"Well you can't know for sure. All you have to do is believe and have a little back up. That's what me and the knights are for." He said.
"I know but I still have the fear of being killed. I need to be alive after this because Era is going to need me as king soon. My father won't be forever. Plus, it was my duty to help save the princess." I said.
"Don't worry Gray. If you start fearing now that you'll never get onto that battlefield. All you have to do is think of something you care about. Act as if your fighting for them." Fried said.
I smiled, "Thanks Fried; that was some really good advice." I said.
"No problem." He said.
"Your highness I hate to interrupt but we are approaching the tower." My driver said.
"Thank you." I said. I looked over at Fried and we both nodded in unison.
"Let's do this." We said.
(Levy's POV)
"My name is Levy McGarden. It's nice to meet you. Why are you in here?" I asked.
"Your name…it sounds familiar." Natsu said.
"I'm princess of Magnolia. Does that ring a bell?" I asked.
He gasped and looked removed his legs from his chest. "Yes, that must be it. I apologize for not remembering. A while ago when I first got here, they beat so bad that I have amnesia. The last thing I remember before this place was when my father abandoned me in the middle of nowhere. I assume the lightning haired man captured me." He said. I put a hand to my mouth.
"That's so sad. I'm so sorry. I promise we'll find some way to get us out of here. If I know my father he must have sent a search crew to find me." I said. He smiled and got a little closer.
"Thank you for the hope that someone will come for us. But, I think I'm safer here." He said.
"Why, they've abused you to the point you can't remember anything. How is that safe?" I asked curiously.
"When my father left me in those woods. He told me that my magic was finally strong enough to be on my own. I was only 8 then. It's been 8 years since then. The men captured me about 4 years ago. They said that while I'm here they can control my magical energy by draining some of it daily so that it doesn't make me go crazy. That is why you can't touch me. They placed a rune around me that forces me in this corner." He said.
"What kind of magic do you have exactly?" I asked.
He smiled, "I have a lost magic called dragon slayer magic. I have the fire dragon abilities." He said.
I gasped and got closer to him. "I have a knight in my palace that has the same power as that." I said excitedly.
He gasped, "Wow; that must be great. So, I guess you know how powerful the magic is already. I just wish I could control mine."
He said sadly.
I frowned and placed my hand over the rune. It was like an invisible box around him. Forcing him away from the rest of the world and me. "Don't worry. I promise you that when we get out of here; I'll get you the proper training to control your magic." I said. He looked over at me with shock.
"You would take me back to your palace. But you barely know me." He said.
"That may be but you don't know yourself that much either. I also know that the man I was going to see before I was captured has a healer. She maybe she can help with your memory loss." I said.
He smiled brightly and moved closer to the rune. I placed my forehead against it and smiled. He followed as put his against mine. "Arigato, this is very good news for me. I may finally be in control after all these years." He whispered. A tear escaped his eye and fell onto the floor beneath him. I felt tears threatening to fall from mine as well.
"I promise you…I will help you get your memories back. And help you control that magic of yours." I whispered. He smiled happily and the rest of his tears quickly followed the last one as they hit the floor like raindrops against a window. I will keep this promise to him…Because he deserves it for all the hell he's been through.
(Gray's POV)
The carriage came to a stop as it pulled up near the tower. The tower itself looked haunted and filthy. But, if the princess is in there than we must do whatever it takes. The guard got out from the front and walked over to the carriage doors. He opened the doors and Fried and I got out of the carriage. The knights stopped their horses and quickly got off. "Here we are; the tower to the dark wizard Makarov." Erza said. As I got a better look of the tower I noticed it grand height.
"This may take a while. That tower is huge she could be anywhere in there." I said.
"Maybe but the quickest way to find someone in a large tower is to beat the answers out of somebody." Gajeel said with a smirk on his face.
"Now remember we mustn't do anything that would endanger the princess." Loke said. I nodded and we began our descent towards the entrance of the tower. We must be totally quiet so that no one hears us coming. If we get caught now then we have no chance of getting the princess. The knights were totally calm, Fried was more calm then I was. I myself and totally freaking out. I took a deep breath and tried to remember Fried's advice. "Think of something you care about. Act as if your fighting for them." He's right; what I care about the most is my kingdom so I will fight for them. I know what you're thinking. Why didn't I include the princess? Well I haven't formally met her. She could be a totally sweetheart that I could love eventually. Or a cold hearted bitch who doesn't care about me. So, I'm keeping my options open. I shook my head, I have to focus. I noticed we finally made it to the entrance of the tower.
"Get ready for the fight of your lives." Erza said. I gulped and we started our way inside.
Me: That was so sad. My poor Natsu has memory loss.
Natsu: Man this sucks. I thought you said this gets better.
Me: It will just give it time damn it.
Gray: Woah, calm down authoress.
Me: *takes a deep breath* Sorry, i'm just so sad becuase of the sad Natsu moment.
Natsu: Yeah, do i ever get my memories back?
Me: No spoilers that's the policy.
Natsu: Damn
Me: Now it's time for drum roll please.
*drum roll*
Me: Question of the day time.
Audience: *Cheers*
Me: Alright the question is..."Who thinks Natsu's like so far in this story is sad?"
Gray: I do.
Me: You haven't met yet.
Gray: So?
Natsu: Review.
