Chapter 4

A Warm Feeling

Ever since that day when I first met Aquadia, my life finally started turning in the opposite direction for the good. It took a while, but I got used to living with her. She may have been a dragon, but she was kind and very sweet just like any other Mom. She made sure I was well fed, well taken care of, and she also taught me how to be kind. She also taught me how to read a little and also how to fish even better. Yep, Aquadia was the best mom I ever had, even though she adopted me.

One thing was for sure, sleeping in a cave took some time getting used to. It was hard sleeping on the floor, but eventually, I ended up sleeping with Aquadia. Sometimes I would sleep on her back, other times on her wing, but my favorite place to sleep was on top of her head. I didn't know why, but it felt really comfy sleeping on her head. It made me feel safe.

The cave we lived in was close to the coast which was a lot farther where I originally lived. However, being close to the ocean like this meant that I could do what I always wanted to do ever since I was little and what I always loved to do. Swim. When I first saw it, I was overjoyed to be close by it since I was a swimmer and all. Aquadia knew this too. In fact, whenever she would go out to get fish for food, she would bring me along and help her fish. At first, I felt a little awkward since it had been a while since I swam and I usually swam with my parents, but eventually, I opened up and enjoyed swimming, especially with her.

It had now been two years since I started living with Aquadia. I was now 7 years old. I was slightly taller than I was before and my hair was a little bit longer. My fishing skills had improved because I had been doing this for so long and I was sure that I was an even better swimmer than before.

I was standing on the rocks waiting for my prey to come within my sight. Then, I saw something move in the water. I squinted my eyes to get a better look and I saw it. A great big fish was swimming right in front of me. It looked so big and juicy, that it would make a fine meal for the night. I waited for the fish to come closer, not daring to make a sound. Then just as the fish was close enough, I pounced and dove into the water! The surface of the water rippled as I dove into the water. Then there was silence. Then I popped out of the water holding the fish by the fin. It was a tough fight catching it, but I was victorious.

"Phew! This one put up a fight! But I managed to catch it! Wait, till Mama sees this!"

And so with my prize looped behind my back, I headed back to the cave eager to show my Mama. The fish was a little heavy, but it wasn't a problem for me. Over the years, I've gotten used to fishing for myself and carrying my own load. Usually, my Mama did the fishing to provide me with food. But I learned to fend for myself.

Soon, I approached the cave where we lived. I ran towards the cave eager to show off my fish. But as I approached the cave, I heard my Mama talking.

"Oh my goodness, hahaha. That's Igneel for you. Always a stubborn one."

I also heard another voice. A voice that I never heard before.

"Hahaha. Yes. He's quite stubborn and a hot head to match."

Hearing the voices made me curious as to who my Mama was talking to, so I walked in the cave. There was my Mama sitting in the middle of the cave, talking to what looked like a giant ball of green light right in front of her, and somehow the ball of green light was talking to her.

"Mama? Who are you talking to?" I called out.

"Oh! Willy! You're home," she said. "Come, come. There someone who I want you to meet."

I walked over to my Mama and the ball of light floated down until it was right in front of me.

"Is this the one that you were talking about Aquadia? The boy you found?" the ball of light asked.

"Yes, he is. This is my dear son, Willy Falconer. Willy, I would like you to meet a very dear friend of mine, Grandeeney. She's another dragon just like me, although you can't really tell at the moment since she's a ball of light right now."

"Wow! Another dragon. Nice to meet you Ms. Grandeeney," I replied while politely bowing.

Grandeeney chuckled. "Such a polite young boy. Aquadia's told me a lot about you."

"She has?"

"Yes. She told me that you're a very nice young boy who loves to swim and a very adorable and handsome young man to boot."

I instinctively felt hot in the face and I could feel my face going red from Grandeeney's compliment.

"Th-thank you very much."

"Hahaha," chuckled Aquadia. "I told you he's adorable and he's a natural born swimmer and fisherman."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah," I joined in showing off the fish I caught. "Take a look at the fishy I caught. It was tough, but I managed to catch it."

"Wow. That's a pretty big fish you got there," said Grandeeney. "And you caught it all by yourself?"

"Yup," I said grinning with pride.

"Hahaha. That's my Willy," said Aquadia. "Hey. Why don't you put the fish aside and get it ready for your dinner tonight? Me and Grandeeney have something to talk about. Dragon stuff you see"

"Sure thing Mama."

I was a little puzzled about what she would want to talk about with Grandeeney, but I really didn't pay much attention. I did what I was told and carried my prize to be washed so I could eat it for dinner.

NO POV

Aquadia and Grandeeney watched as Willy carried his fish to get it ready for dinner. Then Granbdeeney spoke to Aqaudia.

"He certainly is everything you said he would be. Very kind and sweet."

"Of course," replied Aquadia. "After all, I raised him to be that way."

Grandeeney chuckled and she paused for a moment. Then she spoke again.

"So, how have you been holding up for these past few years? It's been a while since... you know."

"I know. You don't have to beat around the bush Grandeeney. I know you came here to talk to me about the you-know-what. After all, it has been years since I last saw you."

"I assumed so. You know, it's been quite a while since I last saw you," Grandeeney said. "I still can't believe that you managed to survive this long. It's quite a miracle actually."

Aquadia looked at her claw and clenched it.

"Maybe so, but that's only because I've managed to stay alive through sheer willpower. It's only luck that I have made it this far. Luck that's slowly starting to run out."

Grandeeney was silent then she spoke in a low voice so Willy couldn't hear them.

"You do realize that no one blames you know. It's couldn't have been your fault."

"I know," said Aquadia who for some reason was feeling a little sad. "But I still can't help but feel that it was my fault that things turned out the way they were. If I hadn't had gone and said what I did, none of this would be happening."

"Please stop blaming yourself," said Grandeeney. "You were just trying to do what was right. You could have never predicted that it would happen."

Aquadia hung her head and looked even more depressed than ever. Grandeeney floated in front of her.

"Listen to me, Aquadia," spoke Grandeeney. "Do you still believe what you told me back then? What you said about the humans?"

"Yes. I do. With all my heart," Aquadia replied.

"Then that's good enough," said Grandeeney. "I still believe what you said before and so does Igneel and all the other dragons that sided with us. And that's never going to change any time soon."

Aquadia looked at the ball of light and even though it was just a ball of light, she could swear that she could see Grandeeney smiling with a kind grin on her face. That made her feel much better.

"Grandeeney my friend. You always know just what to say don't you?"

"I've been told that,' she smiled. "But other times, I've been known as a smart aleck."

"That's only because you liked to poke at people's personal weak spots," she laughed.

"So in any case, have you decided on him?"

"Yes. Well, I'll have to think about it. I'm still not very sure," she replied.

"In my opinion, I think he would be perfect. In a way, he's just like you. If I had anyone to choose, I would choose him."

"That may be so, but that's up to him," said Aquadia. "I'll let him decide if he wants to or not."

"Very well," said Grandeeney. "Be sure to keep me posted then. I'll contact you a little later and check on you. Until then, I'll see you later and don't forget about that date. There's not much time."

"I know," said Aquadia. "I won't forget. Take care my friend. Till we meet again."

And with that, the ball of light floated away leaving Aquadia alone. She looked up at the ceiling of her cave deep in thought. Then she muttered to herself.

"It's currently the year 773," she thought. "Willy's been living with me for two years now and he's seven years old. Should he be the one? Hmm."

She crossed her arms and she thought and she thought and she thought and she thought some more. Then she heard Willy call her.

"Mama! I'm gonna start the fire so I can make my dinner!"

"Oh. Coming Willy! But I'll start the fire! Don't do it yourself!"

Willy's POV

A little later, me and Aquadia were waiting for our fish to cook. As I waiting, I noticed something. I took a quick glance at my Mama and I could see that she was deep in thought about something. I wondered why, so I asked her.

"Mama? Is something wrong?"

"Oh. Nothing really. I was just deep in thought about something.

"Whatcha thinking about?" I asked again.

"Just...some things Willy just some things."

I didn't understand what she meant nor did I pry, so I went back to waiting for my fish. Then feeling impatient, I reached out and grabbed my fish. As soon as I did, I felt my hand sizzle and feel really hot. I yelled in pain and I retracted my hand. Aquadia snapped out of her thinking gaze upon hearing me and rushed to my side.

"Willy! Are you okay?!"

"Owie! My hand! It burns!" I cried with tears in my eyes.

"Oh, you poor dear! Here let me see it."

Sniffling, I held up my hand so she could see it. It was red and looked like it was about to blister. It really hurt. It hurt so bad, that I felt like I burned it off. She inspected it and then she smiled kindly to me.

"It's okay. Mama will make it better for you. Just keep still okay?"

I answered with a sniffle and a nod. Aquadia gently placed the tip of her claw on my hand very gently and suddenly, her claw started to emit a glow in a bright blue color. The light slowly enveloped my hand until my it was glowing as well. The burning feeling on my hand was slowly disappearing as if the pain was ebbing out. Soon, the pain disappeared completely. I looked at my hand and saw that my burn was gone. It was completely healed.

"Wow! My hand! It's all better!"

"There we go," she said. "Try to be a little more careful okay?"

"How did you do that Mama?! That was so cool!"

"It's nothing really. I just used a healing spell that's all."

"A healing spell? You mean... like magic?" I asked.

"Yes," she replied. "Have you ever seen magic before?"

"Nuh-uh. I've only heard of magic from the stories my parents read to me. I've never seen anything like it before."

"I see," she said. "and what did you think when I used my magic to heal you?"

"It... it looked really cool! It was very beautiful too! I've never seen anything like it before!"

Aquadia seemed to be surprised after hearing my response. Then she gave me a big toothless grin.

"Is that so? Thank you very much, Willy. That means a lot."

"You're welcome, Mama. Now... could you help me cool down my fish so I could eat it?" I asked feeling hungry.

"Of course," Aquadia smiled as she grabbed my fish and blew on it to cool it down.

A little later after we ate, we got ready for bed. I climbed on top of Aquadia and settled down on my sleeping spot on top of her head. I closed my eyes and I tried to get to sleep, but I couldn't. I couldn't stop thinking about what my Mama did to heal my hand. I thought it was awesome that my Mama could use magic, but personally, I wanted to learn how to use magic myself. I would have asked my Mama to teach me, but I didn't know how to ask her. Then my Mama suddenly spoke.

"Willy?" she asked. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure Mama. What is it?"

"Did you really like my magic?"

"Oh yeah. I did. I loved especially how warm it was. It was really special. When you used it on me, it felt really warm. To be honest, I'd love to learn that magic if could."

"Really? Hmm. I'll have to think about that," hummed Aquadia. "Until then, it's time to get some sleep little one."

"(yawn) Yeah. Night Mama. See you in the morning."

"Night Willy. Sweet dreams."

I made myself comfy on my Mama's head and closed my eyes and went to sleep.

NO POV

Aquadia closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep, but for some reason, she couldn't. She was still thinking about what she and Grandeeney had discussed and about Willy and about what Willy said about her magic.

"In my opinion, I think he would be perfect. In a way, he's just like you. If had to be anyone to choose, I would choose him."

"It... it looked really cool! I'd love to learn magic if I could."

Aquadia stayed awake for a while longer. Then as she was falling asleep, she made up her mind.

"I'll ask him tomorrow. My legacy lies in his decision."

I felt a little iffy on this one and I know I'm bad with coming up with names for my chapters, but I hope you liked it.
