~I do NOT own Fairy Tail~

~A Safe Haven?~

The duo stared at the mythological beast. It was a dragon. A dragon. Its red scales seemed to be sparkling in the late-afternoon light. It had a big belly, and a long chubby neck. He had a long snout. Brown horns stuck out from his forehead. His legs were also chubby, with long, black claws. His eyes were an obsidian color. Natsu's face fell a little bit. He was hoping this dragon was his father. Though, the dragon looked like him,

This dragon was not Igneel.

Lucy was still by his side, mute in shock. Her brown eyes were wide and her mouth was slightly open. 'Could this be Natsu's father?' She thought to herself. But one quick glance told her the answer. 'Then who is he?' The team backed up when the dragon started to descend, intent on landing. Gusts of wind blew at their hair. Leaves and flower petals swirled around them as the dragon's wings blew wind to them. The dragon lands with a soft 'thud'.

It stared them down while the duo tried to form words. Natsu is the first to speak.

"W-who are you?" The dragon does not answer him.

"Hm. Pink hair? Natsu! Is that you?" The dragon speaks. "I couldn't believe I didn't recognize you at first. Silly me. How have you been?

"U-um. Fine." He stutters. The dragon nods. He turns his attention to Lucy.

"And who is this beautiful girl? A mate?" The dragon asks. Lucy does not respond. Only a light pink blush crawled over her cheeks. Natsu's face, on the other hand, was as red as Erza's hair. He starts to stutter.

"N-no! S-she's my partner Lucy."

The dragon just chuckles.

"Your father has told me a lot about you." He said. Natsu did a small gasp.

"My father?" He asked. The dragon nodded once again.

"I'm Igneel's brother, Kasai. It's nice to finally meet you my nephew, Natsu."

~o0O0o~

Erza could feel the shift of magical energy in the air. She is aware of her own magic energy returning to her, but this was different. Something was not right here. And she would figure it out.

~o0O0o~

"You're my uncle?" The pink-haired boy asked.

"Yes child." The dragon responded.

"What are you doing here?"

"I live here." The dragon responded simply. "Why are you here?" There was a pause. Why were they there? Weren't they supposed to be rescuing their friends?

"We came from a cave. What do you mean you live here?" Natsu asked. The dragon was interrupted by another roar; this one was lower and louder. The three looked to the sky, which was littered with thousands of dragons. All different sizes, shapes, and colors: Blue, red, green, grey, black, and many more. Their colored scales seemed to sparkle in the late-afternoon light. The wind also began to pick up as the dragons took to the skies. Some were roaring as they flew, communicating to each other.

"What is this place?" Natsu breathed.

'What is with this boy and questions?' The old dragon chuckled to himself.

"This place is called, 'Anzen'na hinansho,' but we all call it 'Sēfu' for short."

"It's like a safe haven for dragons?" Lucy asked quietly. The dragon shrugged.

"If you want to perceive it that way, then sure." Natsu tapped the dragon's leg.

"Is Igneel here?" He asked tentatively. The dragon felt his heart go heavy.

"I'm sorry child. No. He disappeared five years ago." The boy's head snapped up.

"So he was here! I thought I smelled him!" The boy grinned. Kasai turned and started to walk into the forest, in the direction the other dragons were flying to.

"Come. I have something to show you." He said. The two looked at each other and nodded. They followed him into the forest.

~o0O0o~

During their walk, Kasai had lowered his tail so the two could climb onto his back. The team was now high in the air, almost able to touch the treetops. Natsu was in front, focusing on where his uncle was taking them. Lucy sat behind Natsu, admiring the beautiful scenery. It wasn't normal for her to be looking at 'pretty flowers' without fighting someone. She could finally sightsee without being scared to death. The red dragon smiled at his nephew and his "partner." Just by looking at them, Kasai could tell the situation. Not to mention, (thanks to his heightened sense of smell) he could smell traces of Natsu on Lucy.

His smile grew as he took a rather large step, causing the two to jump. They both gave a yelp. Natsu went to Kasai's back to steady himself, while Lucy wrapped her arms around Natsu's waist. Instantly, Natsu's face sported a light blush, while Lucy didn't really notice. Kasai smirked.

'Victory.'

By the time they got to another clearing, the sun was setting low in the sky. The clearing had a mixture of short grass and long grass. When the Lucy slipped off the dragon's back, the grass reached her knees. At the end of the clearing, there was a tall cliff. Embedded in the cliff side were at hundreds of caves. When Lucy looked up to Kasai with a questioning look, he answered her question.

"Those are dragon's dens." He said.

"Oh." She said softly. The dragon began to walk towards the cave.

"This is where we make camp." He began to walk towards the edge of cave. Kasai lifted himself into the air, holding out his 'hand.' The two climbed on and Kasai flew them to the top of the cliff. He put them down and began to walk into another clearing. This one had tents and put out campfires.

"I'm confused, are there other people here?" Lucy asked.

"Kind of."

"What does that mean?" Natsu asked.

"Well, I'll explain when they come back. They should be done with hunting soon." He said, shrugging. That's when they heard the first wing beat. Coming over the horizon was a huge grey dragon. It held what looked like a sheep in his claws. As he neared the camp, he dropped the sheep into what looked like a corral. He landed not to far away from them. That's when more of the dragons came. They all repeated the process and landed. Once the last one landed, the dragons began to regroup and encircle Kasai. Natsu and Lucy felt so over whelmed. There were hundreds of dragons were staring right in front of them.

"Kasai. We got a great haul." A gruff looking dragon spoke. He leaned down to the duo. "And who is this?" Kasai smiled.

"Everyone, this is my nephew Natsu and his partner Lucy. Let us welcome them into our pack with a feast!" He shouted. The dragons began to cheer and spread out, breaking into different groups. The gruff-grey dragon bowed to Kasai.

"As you wish Chief." Then he turned to the duo. "Pleased to meet you Natsu and Lucy." Natsu looked to his uncle in surprise.

"Chief?" He questioned. Suddenly, the camp was filled with an eerie green light that encircled the dragons. The wind began to pick up and Natsu looked to the horizon, where the sun was now gone and the moon was starting to rise. Natsu and Lucy hugged each other as the wind whipped at their hair and the dragons began to glow even brighter. Then the moon finally came out. And the glow died down. Natsu and Lucy blinked before the dust died down. They all gasped at what they saw. Instead of the many dragons, there stood humans. They all had different hair-colors and skin tones. A tall buff male that resembled Gajeel walked up to him. His long black hair was tied up into a ponytail and had a grey streak through it.

"What just happened?" Lucy asked.

"This is what I wanted to show you." Kasai said behind them. They turned around only to face a tall-tan man. He wore a white shirt with a red jacket over it. He also wore white, baggy pants. He was barefoot and he wore a black wristband. His hair was a dark red color, and hung in his eyes.

"Welcome to my family."
