NATSU'S POV
"We'll see you later at the guild Erza" I called to my wife as Wendy and I left the house to meet up with Gajeel and Laxus for our training session. We walked into the clearing at the same time as Gajeel. However we could sense Laxus not too far off. We just made some small talk, mostly Wendy telling Gajeel about the mission while we waited for Laxus to show. Wendy didn't say anything about what I had brought back with me, but she did tell him I grabbed some things. Just before Gajeel could ask what I picked up, Laxus appeared in our clearing.
Greeting him we went about stretching before moving on to our normal routine, Laxus taking some one on one time with Wendy to help with her magic and Gajeel and I took turns working on new spells and techniques that we had been working on. After an hour we traded partners with Wendy and Gajeel working on her defense and his speed, while Laxus and I worked on our hand to hand skills. We worked in these pairs for a hour then switching workout buddies one last time. This round Gajeel and Laxus had a spar with magic, while Wendy and I worked on her strength and my magic reserve, meaning I had to use my magic to block or dodge her attacks instead of following my insteads and dodge out of the way with my physical capabilities. Finally after another hour we sat down for a break.
"I didn't get the chance to ask earlier but how'd your mission go?" Laxus asked as he leaned back against one of the few trees still alive that ringed the clearing we were in. I chuckled as Wendy immediately told him the story and prepared to reveal one of the new tricks I had been working on during the walk back to Magnolia. Once her story was over both Gajeel and Laxus looked at me in wonder of what all I brought back. Smiling at them I tilted my head and snapped. As the sound dissapated a dull glow appeared on the ground in front of me, while the temperature around the clearing began rising a few degrees. After a few seconds I calmly stated "Fire Dragons Burning Call". Once I closed my mouth the temperature stopped climbing and the glow began to fade, revealing an old worn out chest.
I began bowing dramatically as Wendy called me amazing repeatedly, before chuckling to myself at how easy it was to do. "Cool trick. I take it that chest has the crap you grabbed?" Gajeel inquired as his nose started twitching. "Yes and your nose isn't decieving you. I found a scroll written by Metalicana. Once I saw his name I put it aside for you so I don't know what's written in it. Since you actually know your draconic history feel free to dig through this stuff while I explain some of them to Laxus" I commented smiling happily at the eager expression on his face once he heard Metalicana's name.
Gajeel did as I suggested with Wendy looking over his shoulder, while I filled Laxus in on the more important things I had found. "Hey Salamander… Is this sword what I think it is?" Gajeel asked holding out Blazing Talon with wide eyes. I noticed Laxus look at it before his eyes widened as well. "I think you already know the answer" I commented with a nod. "The magic I feel rolling off this thing in waves is amazing. It feels so simmilar to yours but so much more potent." Laxus chimed in. Nodding my head once more I slowly packed everything back into the chest except the sword and recast my Fire Dragons Buring Call. "I know. I also intend to give this sword to Erza but I I decided to wait a bit so I could charge the flames in it with my own." I started before explaining that after I do so she could send a small portion of magic into the blade making her magic mix with mine as a way of calling for me. "I red about this in one of the books I found and decided to make it possible just in case we get seperated and she really needs the help." I finished my comment.
Nodding at that Laxus stood back up before declaring our brake over and saying we needed to get back to work. This time around we decided to have a group spar stating that for the first half an hour we couldn't use any magic. For the next half an hour we could only use magic to block or dodge attacks. Then we'd get half a hour to go all out. After an hour and a half passed we gave ourselves fifteen minutes of just blocking and dodging attacks with magic, and another fifteen minutes with no magic what so ever to end the spar. Taking a small break for each of us to get a drink we did fifteen minutes of stretching before racing back to the guild hall for a late lunch.
As we walked into the guild hall I immediately spotted Erza. Calling for her I motioned to meet her in one of the side rooms for a quick moment. As she shut the door behind us I spun on my heels so that I was facing her while holding Blazing Talon in my outstretched arms. She gave me a weird looks as she took the sword from my hands. Once it left my hands completely I saw her confusion change to awe as she felt the power in the sword. "This was in the hoard back at the ruins. Igneel made it… I was planning to give it to you but then I found a small section in one of the books about its secret ability." I told her as I once more explained the sword. The moment I finished speaking she attached the sheath to her armor and threw her arms around me in a crushing bear hug, before slowly bringing her face closer to mine as she tilted her head to the side. Taking the invitation I kissed her lovingly as he grip loosened enough for me to slip my arms away from my sides and around her to return the hug.
S.R: Just incase you guys don't remember back in chapter 17 I had Gajeel tell Natsu he was going to start referring to him as Salamander because he liked the nicknames the squirt (A.K.A. Wendy) came up with for them while they played bad guys for Mystogan in Edolas. Though I didn't actually do the scene (I had a hard time writing it so I just had Gajeel reference what happened).
