On with the story
Previously on Fairy Tail The Tale of The Black Salamander.
They were now facing five Dragons that were two times bigger than Balcarius.
"AAAAHHHH MORE DRAGONS AND THEIR BIGGER!" Lucy, Sting, Rogue, Gajeel, Levy, and the exceeds screamed seeing them.
"HUUUHH?!" The five dragons looked at them.
The Chamber of The Six Dragon Kings
All of them stood looking at them humans that had just entered.
"Humans, here?" A black coloured dragon said looking at them suspiciously.
"Did Balcarius let them in?" A blue coloured dragon said curios
"now now let us ease the situation A bit, our guests are scared" A white coloured dragon said looking at Wendy and the others while scratching its long beard.
"Human, answer us how did you make Balcarius let you enter here!?" A brown coloured dragon said in an angry tone. Making Wendy and the others getting scared.
"HEY! You are just scaring them!" a pure white coloured dragon with beautiful feather like wing said while hitting the Brown coloured head with its tail.
"Ahem, apologies humans for my friend here hasn't been around human for the past couple centuries" The white coloured said leaning its head down in a bit to apologize to Erza and the others.
"Ano please forgive us for trespassing and angering you all." Wendy said bowing to apologized to the five Dragons. The others bowed down to show the Dragon they were sorry.
"Its alright child. It is him that must apologized, we haven't had any human visitors for the last three hundred years." The pure white coloured dragon said to them in a motherly tone while pointing at the Brown coloured dragon who just scoffed at her.
"Excuse me for asking but who are you people?" Rogue said asking for their identity.
"We are the members of the Six Dragon Kings of Ishgar." The blue coloured answered Rogue.
"I am the Water Dragon Queen, Levia"
"I am the Heaven Sky Dragon Queen, Arastia"
"I am the Darkness Dragon King, Arostius"
"I am the Light Dragon King, Illios"
The four dragons look at the Brown coloured dragon who stayed silent. He saw their stare and just said.
"Earth Dragon King, Gaia"
"we remain here in slumber to protect the Will of Igneel" Arastia said to them.
"Why are you here?" Arostius said looking at them.
"We are here to find the red gemstone that was hidden here" Wendy answered Arostius.
"Then they are thieves, seeking the Will of Igneel's power! We must dispose of them!" Gaia said raising his claw to attack them.
"Wait, that was what we were intending to do in the first place but not now." Wendy said to them while holding her hands out.
"wait Gaia" Arastia said holding Gaia's Claw with her tail. She then sniffed at Wendy who closed her eyes at the intense wind from Arastia's sniffing.
"Little one, why do you have the scent of Grandeneey on you?" She asked Wendy in a Curios voice.
"Grandeneey is my mother, she raised me when I was little. ne Arastia-san, did you know my mother?" Wendy asked her.
"indeed, I don't only know her as a friend, she is my elder sister." She replied back to Wendy, suprising her with what she said.
"EHH? Than that means you are my aunt!" Wendy said excited while smiling she then went to hug Arastia's snout.
"fufufufu I didn't know my elder sister adopted a little girl, and a cute one too" Arastia said cuddling Wendy with affection.
"HOOOHH? I do not only smell the scent of Grandeneey. I also smell the scent of Metalicana, Skiadrum, and Weislogia coming from you three" Arostius said while looking at Gajeel, Rogue, and Sting.
They were surprised that he knew their parent. "I assume they are your parents?" He asked.
They nodded back. "HOHOH. Gaia stop it they are not thieves at all, they are Dragon Slayers" Illios said to Gaia.
"Then what about the rest of those humans, they are not Dragon Slayers" Gaia said looking at Erza and the others.
"Please Wait Gaia-san, they are my friends. They won't steal the Will of Igneel I promise you" Wendy said going in front of him and putting out her hands as if she wanted to protect her friends.
"Stop it Gaia, I can sense she is telling the truth" Levia said stopping Gaia attempts.
"Tch. Fine but if they try to steal the Will of Igneel, I eat them alive!" Gaia said while pointing a claw at them.
"Thank you Gaia-san" Wendy said and went to Gaia and hugged his Arm.
"Tch whatever" He said while turning his head away and had a little blush on his face.
"If you are not here for the Will of Igneel, what did you came for?" Levia said while bending her head down to them.
"we are here to find the knowledge on the Dragon King Festival" Gajeel said looking at The Water Dragon Queen.
The Dragons looked at each other before nodding. "Very well. Gaia" Illios said to them then ask Gaia.
Gaia tapped the ground bellow him with his claw, suddenly the ground around Erza and the others started to shake then it started to rise up.
"This should be easier for us to converse. now then where should I begin?" Illios said while scratching his chin with his claw
"Ah yes, let me start from there" said illios
"Four hundred years ago in the age of dragons, a battle took place between Dragons that despise human and Dragon that protects human, that was The Dragon Civil War. The battle took one hundred years to end. In that time the number of Dragons that wanted to protect Human were few, they then found the solution to the problem. By giving humans the power of Dragons. That was the day Dragon Slayer Magic was born."
Everyone was astonished by the tale.
"but it was a terrible mistake" He said in grimace.
"what's wrong Illios-san? What happened on that day?" Wendy asked him.
"On that day he was born" Illios said to her while closing his eyes.
"he?" Wendy and the other said.
"The Dragon of Destruction, Acnologia! That was the day that will be known as The Dragon King Festival" Illios said opening his eyes.
"Acnologia!" Wendy and the other except for Sabertooth had a flashback of that dragon.
"Acnologia was once a noble and kind Dragon Slayer that wanted to protect everyone he loved. But on one day he changed. All the fighting, all the bloodshed corrupted his mind and turned him into a monster that destroyed every living thing."
"None was spared in his rampage, Dragons and humans alike. Nobody was a match for his might, till that man came" Illios said in a nostalgic voice.
"that man? Was it the Dragon Savior?!" Gajeel said to him.
"Indeed, that man had a great sense of justice and a kind heart. He asked us The Six Dragon Kings to teach him Dragon Slayer Magic that will aide him in defeating Acnologia. At first, we were not sure if he was able to withstand the training to acquire all six different type of Dragon Slayer Magic. But he proved us wrong, he quickly learned every technique that we had to offered at a fast rate."
"that man fought alongside with our old friend The Fire Dragon King, Igneel in the battle against Acnologia and had managed to mortally wound him. Acnologia fled from the battle with his injuries and vanished."
"Just like the carvings in the ruins!" Levy pointed out to them as they all remember the carving at the ruins.
"but Igneel took too much damage from his battle with Acnologia and was dying that day." he said with tears coming out from his eyes and the other Dragon King.
"we are sorry" Wendy said bowing down her head with the others following her movement.
"Don't be, Igneel died a respectful and honorable death that day. Before his death he wanted to give his magic power to his comrade in battle. Our savior refused and said that it was his mistake that brought Igneel his death. Igneel ask him not to shed tears for his death and asked him to take his magic power as a last wish." Illios said to them
"he took in Igneel's Magic power and on that day, he was the strongest of all wizards in Ishgar." Illios said finishing his story.
"wow! He must be so powerful that nobody could challenge him and he had so much power like it was a blessing from god, right?" Lucy said astonished at the legendary person.
"More Like a Curse" Gaia said looking away with his eyes in anger.
"eh?" Lucy said confused and looked at the Dragons and saw tears coming out of their eyes.
"You guys what's wrong?" Gray asked them.
"Indeed, he was very powerful. But.." Illios said but paused.
"he was cursed" Illios said while letting his tears fell down.
"He was cursed?" Wendy said with a worried look on her face.
"he was worshipped by us Dragons as our savior but to you humans he was called a monster" Gaia said sneering.
Wendy gasped behind her hand while the others had their eyes wide open in shock.
"that day not one human wanted to talk nor even call him, everyday he was called a monster, a freak of nature. YOU HUMANS WERE SAVED FROM ACNOLOGIA BY HIM, YET YOU CALL HIM A MONSTER!" Gaia said with tears.
Wendy and the others didn't know that the one who saved all of Ishgar from Acnologia was casted out of civilization.
"he let them call him a monster. He let them cast him out of his home. Not even his loved ones will come near him, and yet he didn't bear a grudge to humanity." Arastia said in sadness
"we welcomed him into the realm of dragons so he would be able to live with us. Protected, respected and loved by all Dragons. Yet he refuses" Levia said with tears in her eyes.
"He had asked us a favour to protect something important to him." Arostius said.
"Was it the Will of Igneel?" Wendy said to them.
"Indeed, he gave back the power Igneel gave him and turned it into a magical crystal, and asked of us to guard and protect it till the day it is needed once again. We were honoured to do it for our Saviour and on that day, he disappeared. gone as if he no longer existed." Arostius said to Wendy.
"do you know his name?" Levy asked. She had already written every single thing they had said in her notepad.
"No, we do not, for his name was not known to us. Only three existences knew his identity." Arastia said to her.
"Indeed, the first one was our friend the Fire Dragon King, Igneel. And the second one was The Black Mage, Zeref" Illios said to them.
Erza and the others were surprised by the fact that The Black Mage, Zeref knows the identity of The Dragons Saviour.
"Wait, what about the other one?" Rogue asked them.
"The other one was The Hellfire Dragon, Atlas Flame. Igneel's trusted friend." Said Arastia.
Everyone was now huddling against each other talking about something. they then break up and looked at the Five Dragon and asked
"Illios-san, Levia-san, Gaia-san, Arostius-san, and Aunt Arastia. We were wondering could you tell us where to find Atlas Flame-san." Wendy asked them politely.
"What for Wendy?" Arastia said to her niece.
"we need to know the identity of The Dragon Savior Please." Gajeel said to her.
"and why should we tell you humans? For all we know that man could no longer be found" Gaia said to them.
"There is a person named The Black Salamander named Natsu-san. We think he might be related to the Dragon Saviour" Wendy told them of a possibility she and her friends thought.
"What?!" all of the dragon exclaimed in a surprised tone.
The Dragons looked at each other in hesitation then decided something with each other.
"if what you say might be true. That this Natsu fellow might somehow have something related to him. We will tell you Atlas Flame location, on one condition" Illios said to them while making a one finger gesture with his claw.
"What is the condition?" Erza said
"we want you to invite that fellow here, so that we can give him the Will of Igneel. He rightfully earned it for his heritage" Arastia answered them.
"We accept!" all of them said simultaneously.
"very well, Atlas Flame is now living in a village called the Sun Village, which is home to giants. He now resides there as the guardian of that village" Illios answered them.
"where is the location of the village?" Sting said to them
"it is several Kilometers away south from here." Illios said "It is a ten days trip to reach there."
"it is going to be exhausting for us to reach there on foot." Lector said raising his paw.
"Not True, we will transport you there. So that you would reach there in time" Arastia said
"Really?! Thank you so much Aunt Arastia" Wendy said smiling while hugging her aunt's head.
"it is the least we can do for you" Arastia said smiling at Wendy.
"well what are we waiting for. Let's go!" Sting said pumping his hand up.
"Very well, Arastia you are the fastest one than all of us. You shall be the one to take them there." Arostius said to Arastia.
Arastia nodded back and went down so Wendy and the others could get on her back.
When they all were settled down on Arastia back. Illios signalled to Gaia to open the wall.
Gaia put his hands together in a praying motion, suddenly the walls started to rumble.
Gaia separated his hand and the walls splits open and Erza and the others saw that the night sky was out.
"Hang on tight everyone" Arastia said then she flapped her wings.
She then flew out of the chambers and into the sky above.
"Bye guys, see you again!" Wendy said while waving her hands goodbye. The others smiled and waved back at them with their giant claws.
""Finally the day The Will of Igneel will return to its rightful owner will come."" Illios said in his mind while looking at the night sky smiling.
That's a wrap
