Hello it's Natsu again.
So I'm still going to post cuz if I don't I will completely abandon this so yeah. Here's an origin story and your chapter cookie.
Still not the owner of Fairy Tail. If I did I'd still give it back cuz man it's gotta be hard for hiro mashima to keep releasing manga.
Chapter 7: Crimson memory
A boy that, couldn't have been older than seven or so, ran through a forest in the darkness of night running from the people that hunted him. The dragon hunt had begun and the hunters had found him. The boy ran and ran eventually finding a hollow log and crawling into it. The young boy gripped the sword he had carried the last gift from his mother Ridrica the crimson dragon forged with her fire and made from her scales. The ruby flame pommel on the bottom of sword had been carved by her claws and she had simply stolen the ruby from a passing convoy many years ago. The only reason the boy had been able to hold it was because it would magically get larger as the boy got older so he would always have it.
The young man held this blade close to him hoping that maybe he could feel his mother's familiar warmth through it. He heard footsteps run past his hiding spot and he gripped his sword tighter. Once the sound was gone he relaxed and carefully left the log. He began to walk knowing he couldn't stay still for long or so his mother had taught him when suddenly bam! An unknown person had collided into him and sent him to the ground. He quickly stood and readied his sword and although he was inexperienced with it He wouldn't go down without a fight. He rose it above his head ready to strike but stopped and lowered the blade. In front of him lay a beautiful girl that looked close to his age. She had long flowing white hair that seemed even more beautiful in the moonlight her skin was pale and her eyes were a pale shade of yellow like the harvest moon. She looked terrified as she stared at the sword In the boys hands. He saw her terror and quickly sheathed the blade into the leather sheathed strapped on his back.
"Its okay I'm not going to hurt you" he said calmly "I'm friendly"
"How do I know I can trust you?" She asked warily.
"Because I can do this" he set his fist on fire and she looked at the flames with relief.
"Okay I believe you. My name's Luna Crest what's yours?"
"I'm Connor Coccino it's nice to meet you Luna" he said as he helped her up.
They smiled at each other and suddenly heard a man shouting "I heard voices this way! Follow me!"
"Crap" Connor cursed and grabbed Luna's hand "come on we gotta go"
Luna simply nodded and together they ran never letting go of each others hand. They could hear the hunters dogs as they ran slowly catching up to them.
"They're gonna catch us if we don't do something Connor!" Luna shouted.
"I know, I know!" He searched the surrounding area and saw a small cave for them to hide in "quick! This way!"
The pair then ran for the cave as quick as they could and quickly crawled inside. Connor scorched the grass in different places to try and distract the dog's noses, then joined Luna in the cave. The entrance was so small that only children could possibly fit. It seemed to open up once they got in into a larger cave about a good six feet in length and seven in height. They sat and caught their breath for a few seconds before they spoke again.
"That was smart thinking" Luna said.
"Thanks" Connor replied.
"But it's really dark in here can you do something about that please?"
"Yeah sure" Connor set his fist on fire and lit up the cave in bright light.
"Thanks"
"No problem"
"So why are they after you?" Luna asked.
"Its the dragon hunt"
"You too huh?"
"Yep, so you're a dragon slayer too?"
"Yeah I am"
"What kind?" He asked
"I'm the moon dragon slayer"
"That's pretty cool, can you show me a little of your magic?" He asked excitedly
She smiled at his enthusiasm and summoned a tiny ball of light to her hands. She took the ball and tossed into the air where It floated in place.
"Wow cool.." Connor said in wonder.
"That's not all watch this" she flicked her fingers apart and the ball soon split into small rays of light which stuck to the roof of the cave. Soon the entire cave was bathed in pale light.
"That was so pretty Luna!" Connor said extinguishing his flames.
She blushed and turned away "thanks Connor your fire looks pretty too. But why is it a different color?" She asked
"My flames are the color crimson. They're like that because I'm the crimson dragon slayer" He said.
"So are you a subclass too?"
"Yeah I'm a fire dragon subclass"
"I'm a light dragon subclass"
"That's really cool so do you shoot like beams of light and stuff"
"Yup! But I'm not that strong yet"
"That's okay neither am I" he sat for a few seconds pondering something.
"What are you thinking Connor?"
"Well since neither one of us is very strong yet let's stick together and be partners!"
"Yeah! That would be great!" She said happily.
"We'll be best friends til the end!" Connor said with a smile
She nodded and returned his smile. She the yawned and said "hey partner can we go to sleep I'm really tired"
"Sure I'm tired too"
They snuggled up together with smiles on their faces.
"Goodnight Luna"
"Goodnight Connor"
As they laid together In the cave they quickly fell asleep. And as they slept their hands were still grasped closely together.

Present day
"Wow Connor that's adorable" Lucy cooed
"Yeah I guess It is" Connor replied with a blush.
The sun had begun to rise over the horizon. The two wizards could hear the party dying down and saw the wizards leaving the guild hall.
"The Sun's coming up guess it was a pretty long story" Lucy said yawning "I should probably head back home"
"Yeah you're right I should probably find a place to stay"
"Well maybe you could stay with me.."
"Really!?"
"Yeah.. but just this once!"
"Thanks Lucy!" Connor rushed the blonde and hugged her.
"It's no problem now please let me go" the poor girl was turning blue from Connors death hug.
"Sorry"
"Come on I'll show you the way"
The pair had arrived at Lucy's apartment where they had found Natsu which Lucy soon kicked out. Lucy gave Connor a few blankets and a pillow and said he could sleep on the floor by her bed if he wanted. Lucy quickly fell asleep but Connor stayed awake for a good while longer remembering the past before finally passing out.
Hey it's Natsu here
Hope you enjoyed this little chapter. I'm thinking about introducing the rest of Connors origin at a later date maybe after a couple filler chapters. I dunno.
Well have a good day everyone see you next time.
