I don't own fairy tail
No ones pov
'Have the right to know what?'Natsu asked setting down the deer and the Vulcan next to the wood Happy dropped on the ground. Lucy looked at Igneel and he gave a slight nod telling her not to tell.
Lucy sighed 'Nothing. Why did you bring back a Vulcan?' she said changing the subject.
'The Vulcan is for Igneel of course, he's too big to share a deer with us.' Natsu said eyeing Lucy like she had a third eye. Natsu got the fire going and with Lucy's help he cleaned the deer and used his fire dragons roar to cook (cough burn cough) the deer.
'Natsu what the hell, couldn't you have just put it over the fire and let it cook like a normal person.' Lucy shrieked.
'Aw but Luce that's no fun, plus it would take longer and I'm hungry now.' Natsu whined while giving her his puppy dog eyes while holding her piece of burnt meat out to her.
Lucy sighed not able to resist Natsu when he makes that face and took the meat. 'How am I supposed to eat this without a fork or a knife or a plate?' she asked turning to see Natsu practically swallowing the piece of meat whole. Sighing again she decided just to eat it but taking small bites out of the meat instead of giant ones like her partner, also coming to the conclusion that Natsu wouldn't solve her problem and would just say something stupid.
Once Natsu was finished eating he remembered the reason why they were here in the first place. 'Ok dad spill why'd you disappear along with the other dragons, why were you inside of me and what does it have to do with Zeref and that book?'
Lucy was surprised at the last question maybe he's not as dense as she thought. Igneel had a grim face on, he barely touched his Vulcan but before he spoke he decided to just swallow it whole. Like father like son Lucy thought, glance over at Happy who was trying to swallow a giant fish whole. He must have caught it while Natsu was building the campfire, she thought. Her attention was brought back to Igneel when he started speaking.
'The other dragons and I where inside you and the others to prevent you from Turning into dragons like Acnologia. while in your bodies we were able to create antibodies that from now on will prevent you and the others from ever turning into dragons, but that's not the only reason i had my own motive to enter your body besides preventing you from turning into a dragon. I wanted to find Acnologia and defeat him once and for all, I new that if i sought him out on my own he would never engage me let alone let me find him. i new that eventually he would pop up somewhere and cause more destruction so when the time was right and the antibodies in your body could function properly with out my help, i would spring out of your body the next time you were anywhere close to where Acnologia was.
Surprisingly Natsu stayed silent throughout his explanation probably ether to surprised to say anything or just wanting to get the answers he's been waiting for but seeing Igneels hesitation on answering his last question he spoke up. 'And again what does all this have to do with that E.N.D book.'
'Natsu some things are better left unsaid but I will warn you, you know you will face Zeref in the future, but before you do you will have to make a choice and you will have to defeat many enemies, some old and some new and some more powerful than even Mard Gear, my son you have a hard and painful journey ahead of you but I want, no, I need you to know and remember that you aren't alone and that I and your friends love you and are there for you whether or not we physically with you.' Igneel said his face turning from a serious face to a sad smile.
Natsu can't explain in words how he is feeling at this moment; this is probably one of few moments where his dragon father has shown him this much affection and worry. It was almost like he was saying an unofficial good bye, like Igneel wasn't sure whether he would see Natsu again.
The clearing was silent for awhile everyone sporting ether a sad or serious face until happy decided to break the crushing silence. 'Look everybody I swallowed my fish.' they thought that's what he said with a giant fish tail still stick out of his mouth while he was rubbing his now fat stomach.
Lucy gave him a glare 'Happy, chew and swallow your food before you speak and don't just interrupt a very important father son moment. '
'But Lushee my fish.' happy said with the fish tail still hanging out of his mouth. 'Happy, what did I just say, or do I have to make you chew it for you.'
'Wahh Natsu Lucy's being mean again.' Natsu gave smile, though it wasn't his usual happy go lucky smile it was nice to see that the tension everyone was feeling was slowly disappearing, it never completely left. Behind all the playful arguing and teasing they were all think about what was to come and Igneels warning but in the mean time Natsu was determined to spend as much time as he possibly could with his newly found adoptive father, Lucy, Happy and the rest of his fairy tail family.
Igneels pov
As I watch them I can't help but smile, seeing Natsu argue with and tease Lucy I know I made the right decision to put my faith in her to protect this secret and be there for him when i can not.
When I first showed up today I wasn't surprised he wasn't alone. being inside his body i was able to occasionally feel what he feels both physical and emotional, and occasionally I would feel anger, love, or sadness come from him throughout the years but never as strong as about a month ago and right now, and I suspect this girl is the cause of these feelings.
Of course This girl and exceed must mean a lot to him if he is very much willing for them to meet me and I know that if anybody can get natsu to do whats right it would be her, whether she means to influence his choice or not, i know he will most likely put her and the exceeds well being first before his.
But i still worry, E.N.D is a very powerful demon, i couldn't even defeat him, i am suspicious though of what human form he has taken up. E.N.D is a fire demon after all, i just hope by that time natsu will have the strength to defeat him. i also cant help but wonder where his mother is being hidden and how he will react when he finds her and finds out she must die to save the world. i hope he will be able to make the right choice and let go of her. Lucy stay by his side he will need the emotional support after all this is over.
That's the end of this chapter. i didn't have to change this chapter as much as the others and i was able to finish it early than expected. so once i up load this i will delete my notice if editing theses chapters and put up another explain the edits i made (not in detail, we don't want spoilers)and also when the next chapter will be up, i already started writing it but idk when i will finish it and upload it
