Chapter One : The Children of Gods and Dragons

~ October 9th, X393 ~
Two years after the Dragon King Festival Incident…
In the small town of Elmina in Giltena

The port town of Elmina, home to some of the most kindhearted people in the lands. A young light skin boy with charcoal-gray slicked back hair, with a couple curls being loose and maroon red eyes was walking around the town, with nothing but hunger on his mind. He had no memory of who he was, where he came from, or who his parents were, nothing. The only thing he knew about himself was his name… Nero Lamenton, a small and frail 6 year old boy in tattered clothing. Eventually the frail boy made his way to the Ryoto Inn, the local hotel and diner.

Nero opened the doors to reveal a nice wooden interior, decorated with an assortment of colors. There he went to the front counter and took a seat and saw what he thought was the waitress, she had long dark navy hair that reached down to her lower back. She also the same maroon eyes as Nero and had a mature physique, being voluptuous and beautiful. "U-um Miss…" asked Nero to the waitress at the stand, to which she gave Nero a look of concern. "Huh? Oh hey there little guy, how can I help you?" She said with a nice smile that filled Nero with excitement.

"Can I please have some food. Please… I'm really hungry." When he asked the waitress, she went to the kitchen behind her and Nero heard a ruckus going on. Plates were being smashed, things were being thrown, a whole bunch of nonsense. She came back out and gave him a plate of food, which he began to devour with more ferocity than a wild beast. "I'm sorry you had to hear that. Heh heh heh, someone here must love food." The waitress said with nervousness but with more compassion to Nero. He looked up and nodded his head in agreement, while chowing down on his plate that had two baked chicken breasts, a big portion of rice on the side, and some broccoli just for a bonus. "Thanks miss, this tastes sooooo good." Nero responded with a mouth full.

"So kid if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" The waitress asked Nero, who was still eating but was almost done.

"My name is… Nero, Nero Lamenton. What is… your name?"
"I'm Chloe, Chloe Velventine. So how did you end up in Elmina Town Nero?"
"I… don't know. I can't remember anything. Everything in my head is cloudy, the only thing I know is my name."
"That doesn't seem right, you don't remember anything? Not even your parents? Or the place you're from?"
"I'm only… 6" Nero said while counting at first with his fingers and then putting up 6 fingers.

"Oh yeah that's right, sorry. But anywa-" Chloe was interrupted.

The Ryoto Inn's doors were pushed in as 8 men came barging in the place. They kicked tables and broke windows, cups, and glassware. They immediately went straight to Chloe as she was behind the counter where the register was.

"Chloe… I'm scared." Nero said while Chloe picked him up from the other side of the counter and put him behind her. "It's ok, just stay behind me. I'll handle this."

The main man was wearing a black trench coat and a mask. He had a deep voice that can be compared to demons. "Alright boys, scatter and go get some loot from these assholes. Don't try to do anything hasty ladies and gentlemen, don't try to be a hero." He said and his posse began to hit unsuspecting people in the Inn and take their valuables like jewelry and money.

"Please there's no need for this, just take what you want and go." Chloe said while holding Nero tight to her side. "But there is a need for this, you broad. We want money and we're going to usher in a new era of dominance, one that our leader will take hold of." The main hooded figure proclaimed as he looked over the counter to see that Nero was behind Chloe.

"You can take the money, please we don't want any trouble." Chloe opened the cash register and held out a large amount of cash for the figure to take, which he snatched from her hand. "But that's not all that we want." He claimed as he began to eye Chloe up and down and briefly looked at Nero, but once he did, he couldn't take his eyes off of him.

As he looked at both Chloe and Nero, Chloe began to think of many things that he could want. What's going through this guy's mind… I hope that it's not what I think it is. Or even Nero, I have to protect him at almost any cost. As long as he is ok, I can't let him go. Please Mercuphobia, bless us with help in any form.

"Chloe… what's he saying?" Nero asked the woman protecting him. "Nothing Nero, don't worry about it, everything will be fine."

"Give us the runt." The figure said as he pointed at Nero.
"Huuuuh?" Nero said as he became wide-eyed. Me? B-but why me? Chloe won't give me to them… I KNOW IT!
"No, I won't give you Nero, he's only 6 years old. He has nothing to do with this." Chloe said as she kneeled down beside Nero and held him close to her face, whilst coming close to crying. She let out a few tears and then the counter keeping her and the hooded figure separated broke in half.

The hooded figure smashed the counter clean in half with just his right arm. This shocked both Chloe and Nero as Nero began to let loose his tears. "Give us the child now."

"N-no ple-" Chloe couldn't finish as the figure grabbed Nero and put him on his shoulder. "L-let me, mmph go. UGH!" Nero claimed while smacking the figure in the face.

"Kid if you don't stop hitting' me, I'm gonna make sure it's lights out for you."
"JUST LET ME GO!" As Nero continued to be a nuisance to this man, the man knocked Nero out cold.
"Give him back, please. It's not fair that you take my son away from me, you can take my money and all the money here, which you already did. But please give me back my son." Chloe claimed knowing full well in her head that Nero is not her son, but she's only claiming he is for his protection.

"He ain't your son broad. He doesn't even look like you and his hair doesn't match yours anyway. Quit trying to pull a fast one on me."

"He takes after his father and look at his eyes, their red just like mine. Please he is MY SON, why would I lie about my own flesh and blood." Chloe yelled out making the invaders laugh in response to her pleading.

"Well lady, your son is going to be one of us. And he's gonna be one of the strongest at that, might as well forget abou-" The hooded figure couldn't finish as the Ryoto Inn' doors were opened once again, but this time a young man with shoulder-length blue hair, two long horns, and a facial tattoo over his right eye appeared. He dons a dark coat over a long shirt, accompanied by loose pants tucked into pirate boots, as well as having an assortment of jewelry. Including a necklace with three circular ornaments and black gloves that only partially cover his palm.

"What is going on here?!" The blue haired man asked to which he knew the Ryoto Inn was being robbed.

"Who…the hell are you?" The hooded figure asked as he pointed to the blue haired man.

"That is none of your concern. Now put the boy down and leave."

"Or what? Huh, what are you going to do?! Your outnumbered prettyboy. 8 to 1, those odds are not in your favor."

"Sigh, you mere humans don't understand when to know your outmatched in certain situations. I'm more powerful than any of you could imagine." After the blue haired man said this, he put a barrier of what seemed to be water around everyone in the Ryoto Inn, that was a bystander. The masked men, however were not protected from the oncoming onslaught. The blue haired man imbued his hands with the essence of water and gestured with his hands for the masked men to bring it on.

The man dropped Nero and Nero was beginning to open his eyes slightly. All he could see was the blue haired man countering the assault from the hooded men. He side stepped to the right against one masked figure and back flip kicked him, knocking him unconscious to the ground. He sees Nero struggling to get up, while trying to defend himself and he becomes more persistent with fighting off the invaders.

"You there, young man. I need you to leave the inn and go a short distance away. I'll find you after and offer more help." The blue haired man instructed Nero, to which Nero followed his command without a second thought. This man clearly possessed water magic abilities and was giving these goons a fight they would never forget. It was like he was a one man army.

To think I'd walk amongst the people who worship me as a god and to return the favor by helping them deal with scum like this, goes to show how much I've really changed from killing humans. But that boy had a tremendous amount of magical energy inside of him, however he is young. His body many not be able to control magic without the proper instruction, my what a fascinating child indeed.

One intruder got a lucky swing on the blue haired man's face and he turned back with a huge smirk. He sucked in air, that's what everyone thought, but he was actually sucking in the water from the air itself to charge an attack. He roared out a wave of water and air, similar to that of a dragon. This blew all the goons back and left them battered down and out.

"He… roared. Like a dragon, but I thought all the dragons were killed two years ago?!" One person said as the blue haired man picked him up with one hand by head.

"Just… who are you?!"

"I… am Mercuphobia, and you have been found hurting my people. For that I will punish you severely. You put horror into their eyes and even tried to kidnap a child, it sickens me to see the tactics you humans would resort to using." The blue haired man, now known to everyone as Mercuphobia showed the masked man, all the faces of the people he and his gang hurt at the Ryoto Inn.

N-no way… my pleas were answered by the god himself. Thank you Mercuphobia. Knowing this town is protected by one of the most powerful dragons in existence brings me hope that no crime will occur in this city. Chloe thought as she saw Mercuphobia use his opposite hand form a small bubble of water. Mercuphobia then, without drawing blood or making an open wound, put the bubble within the masked man's body.

The masked man proceeded to shake violently in Mercuphobia's hand and he let him go. Mercuphobia stepped a few inches back and just watched with a smirk on his face.

"Now I've refrained from killing humans or killing in general, but you imbeciles force my hand." Mercuphobia stated as the masked man stopped shaking for a second then just popped in a gory explosion of flesh, blood, guts, and gore.

"Let this be an example of what happens when idiots like you hooded cowards try to invade my people. I cannot ignore this amount of disrespect." Mercuphobia, who was clearly giving a lecture decided enough was enough and changed his mind from not killing the invaders.

Mercuphobia created multiple water arms and grabbed the group of invaders and used his water to phase through the roof of the Ryoto Inn. Mercuphobia threw them higher into the air and transformed into the legendary winged beast humans have feared and revered for a long time. His appearance is similar to that of a sea serpent, with a scaly underside, large wings, and a long, pointed nose. He bears a tribal-like design on his face while keeping the two horns that he had in his human form.

WATER DRAGON KING'S ROAR! Mercuphobia said internally as an enormous wave of water erupted from the Dragon God's mouth and engulfed the seven other masked men and obliterated them. There was nothing left as the sky was covered by a dragon god.

~On the mountainside~
The Dragon God still visible in the afternoon sky

Nero was tired from running and decided to take a break near a waterfall when he heard a roar. He looked towards the direction of Elmina to see a blue dragon in the sky. It was facing toward him in the distance and began to fly at blinding speeds toward Nero.

Nero was in shock at first, nearly petrified, but decided to hide behind a couple of grass bushes. The dragon grew closer and unbeknownst to Nero, it was Mercuphobia looking to help the young child. Another thing that Nero didn't know, was that he was an outstanding amount of magical energy inside of him and that was how Mercuphobia was tracking him. Eventually the Dragon God flew past him and seemingly disappeared out of the sky, to which Nero got out of hiding and went back to sitting next to the waterfall waiting for Mercuphobia.

Pretty soon Nero felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see the blue haired man back from the Ryoto Inn. "Hm? WOAHH, where did you come from?!" Nero yelled in surprise.

"Relax child, I am your ally. Now I told you I would come help you after I dealt with those pests. I didn't properly introduce myself back there, I am Mercuphobia. The Water Dragon God."

"Your… a dragon? Wait, you mean that flying thing was you?"

"Yes child, that was me in my dragon form. Only reason I'm standing before you as a human is because I can take many forms. What is your name child?"

Nero looked at him a little confused because he hadn't heard any of the words that Mercuphobia had been using. "I'm Nero, nice to meet you Mercuphobia."

"For a young child, you have better manners than most." Mercuphobia said as he knelt down and put his hand on Nero's head and rubbed his head.

"Anyway Nero, what brings you to Elmina Town and do you know why I specifically wanted to see you of all people?" Mercuphobia said to Nero, who was staring blankly at him response. "Why are you looking at me like that Nero?"

"Well I understand you a little bit but I think I told Chloe this, I don't remember anything. Only my name. And the other part I don't understand." Nero replied while making Mercuphobia mentally facepalm, but then he understood that Nero is still a young child and hasn't lived as much as he had.

"Oh right, you are still a child. And who, might I ask is Chloe?" Mercuphobia asked with great curiosity.

"Well… uhhhhhh, she had dark blueish hair and the same color eyes as me. She gave me food when I walked into the place."

"So it was the woman who was protecting you, no wonder I couldn't see your power beforehand. Anyway that's enough of that Nero, I would like to teach you. But only if your willing to learn, you have too much magical power to let it go to waste." Mercuphobia pointed at Nero and then demonstrated some of the power Nero could learn from him.

Mercuphobia, with one move of his finger commanded some of the water from the water and moved it around Nero, to which he became excited. Mercuphobia then stepped into the water spring, getting closer to the waterfall. He then punched the waterfall and made the water go in reverse, completely defying the laws of physics and gravity. He moved the entire stream that was before the waterfall to go in reverse.

"Waaaaaaaooooooooow, that was awesome Mercuphobia, your saying you can teach me that?" Nero said as his eyes glowed like rubies.

Mercuphobia's face was shadowed and Nero could see a smirk on his face. "Not only that Nero, I can TEACH YOU MAGIC SO POWERFUL YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO CRUSH WHOEVER STANDS AGAINST YOU! EVEN THAT FALSE DRAGON ACNOLOGIA HAHAHAHA."

"..." Nero stared at him, while he was laughing maniacally

"Oh, pardon my laughter. I guess I still have that dragon aspect to me about conquering everything in my path. Times have changed since then and now I have to learn that I have a child to look after." Mercuphobia said while putting his right hand behind his head, thinking back to the Dragon King Festival, where he murdered countless humans and on the same day, it was when Acnologia, the Black Dragon hunted and killed all the dragons that day except for a select few.

"You have… to look after me?" Nero said while pointing at himself.

"Yes Nero, you are my student and considering you have no recollection of anything before arriving in the town, you are my responsibility."

"Well ok I guess. I wanna be the best student you ever had." Nero said whilst he sat down in the water spring.

"You'd be my first student, so I need you to be on your best behavior and listen carefully so that you may possess what I like to call Water Dragon Slaying Magic. I know more than just that as well, I'll also teach you Dispel Magic and some Transformation Magic." Mercuphobia had high hopes for Nero as the 'Son' of the Water God Dragon held unbridled amounts of magical power.

"Alright! I will do my best Mercuphobia." Nero said with determination.

"Who knows, I could learn a few things along the way too Nero." Mercuphobia said whilst laughing along with Nero.

Maybe this new change of finally being a teacher to a child, someone to carry on my magic as my days are limited will make me feel better. After all I guess now I have a son, someone who in the short time that I've known him saw something in him and bears a striking resemblance to someone from the past.

Mercuphobia and Nero waited until the next day to start their vigorous training and prepare Nero for the near future.

~December 17th, X393~
In the not so distant continent of Fiore…
Tuly Village

Tuly Village was located in the grasslands of Fiore and it was surrounded by snow capped mountains. There was a boy playing outside with a dog, while a woman who seemed to be the boy's mother was near hanging up clothes on a clothing rack.

She turned to her son, and she looked beautiful. Having black hair in a pigtail style and having dark brown eyes. She had a nice figure and was somewhat developed in the chest area. She wore a dark purple sleeveless dress that had an opening in the middle of the chest area, revealing her cleavage, silver armlets and a silver belt. Her name was Sarah Wardnorth.

"Atlas go inside and see if your father can take you to the market to buy a few things." Sarah said to her son, Atlas Wardnorth.

Atlas was a 7 year old boy, he was wearing a white shirt and some brown shorts, he had brown spiky hair that was a bit on the darker side and some of the spikes went over his face. He had light hazel eyes and was pale in complexion, comparable to snow at times, but it's close to a light peachy tone. He went inside the house, which was fairly decent in size. The house had its own personal garden, gates surrounding the area, and a nice view of the mountainside.

Some would say the Wardnorth's were somewhat royalty in the eyes of the citizens in Tuly Village.

"Dad! Can I have some money to go to the market? Mom said I can get some snacks and possibly food. Yeaaaaaa FOOD!" Atlas told his father, as he was sitting down reading a newspaper. He pulled it below to reveal his features, he had the same hair as Atlas, but in different style. He was well built and was toned as he wore a black sleeveless shirt with white pants and formal shoes. He also had a distinctive tattoo of a serpent going across his upper arm and into his chest.

His name was Derek Wardnorth. "I can give you some money to go get yourself some food." Derek said to his son Atlas, to which Atlas was cheering.

"Just take Damon along with you son."

Damon was the family dog and he is used by Atlas for whenever he needs company. Atlas got the money from Derek and strolled to the market, which was a short distance away from the estate that they lived in. Along the way, people were saying hello to Atlas and greeting him, even offering things to him.

When he got to the market, he was craving some sort of meat. What kind, Atlas himself didn't know, all he knew was that he was craving meat. He looked around for the butcher and eventually found him.

"Hey there Atlas, how are ya?" The butcher asked Atlas. The butcher was a big man who could be described as having a beer belly because he was a drinker. He was still a very kind man who cared about the people of Tuly Village.

"Hi Mr. Balrot , I was looking for some meat. Think you could cut me up something and cook it for me?" Atlas asked Mr. Balrot.

"No problem Atlas, and it's on the house don't worry."

"Really? No, here take this money. It's the least my family can do for you, since you work hard everyday to make sure people are fed in this town."

"Atlas you are too kind my friend, if you need any more cuts of meat let me know and I'll get them to you, your mom, or dad."

"Will do. Thanks again." Atlas said as Mr. Balrot cut him a nice big piece of a flat iron steak and washed it of any impurities, seasoned it, and used his fire magic to cook the steak to a nice medium rare, Atlas's favorite.

Atlas always liked the right set of pink in some steaks and the chewiness. But as Mr. Balrot used simple fire magic to cook the steak, Atlas was in awe of how the steak was cooking inside of the flame. Mr. Balrot handed Atlas the cooked steak on a stick and Atlas walked away. "That kid is something special, I'll tell ya. He's gonna be somebody everyone looks up to one day."

As Atlas was eating he gave some of the steak to Damon and they walked around the town, eventually stopping because Damon had to handle his business, when Damon was done, he had noticed something shaking in the grass bush near him and Atlas. Damon had begun to chase this thing and went right out of Atlas's grasp.

"Woah, HEY DAMON! COME BACK BUDDY!" Atlas yelled as he began to chase Damon.

Damon was going into the grasslands and soon was heading close into mountainous territory and Atlas was still chasing him. "CMON DAMON, THIS IS DANGEROUS!"

Damon wouldn't stop as he was like a feral animal on a hunt, Atlas couldn't keep up but still had him in sight and was still running after him. Then Atlas had ran over a weak covering of grass in the ground and he fell through the floor and into a large cave. He sustained a bruise on his legs and arms, that left him unable to walk for a little bit.

"Owwwwwwww, that really hurt. Where am I?" Atlas said as he looked around as he found himself in a darkened cave only lightened by the hole from which he fell through. Atlas tried to get up and find a way out of the cave but couldn't as a throbbing pain in his leg that left him unable to even stand.

"I can't even stand up right without falling back down. Man It's cold in here and there's no food or water. Am I… lost? I gotta get up and find a way to get outta here." Atlas said as he used the cavern walls as support to move himself. He looked at either passage behind him or forward and neither was giving him a sign of relief but he had to try to escape the cave. He chose forward and it was a slow and gross, long 10 minutes of walking.

Atlas fell a few times but he wouldn't stay down and that was what was so special about Atlas, his endurance. For a 7 year old boy, he had abnormal amounts of stamina and endurance, it was like he was a man possessed. Pretty soon after the walking he stopped when he saw a shining light, he went closer in hopes that it was an exit from the cave. But it wasn't, what Atlas found was a sort of oasis. A natural spring with a wide area, a nice waterfall, a few grass shrubs, and a house?

Atlas was looking from a bird's eye view of sorts but wanted to get down to the house in the middle of the cave. The house was a fairly decent sized house, good for about a family.

"A house? Who could possibly live here? I…have to get down there." Atlas said as there was no other way of getting down than sliding down or jumping down, which he wouldn't do since he was already injured. But it could be worse, plus someone could be in there and help him.

"Here goes nothing, gotta… take… my time with… this." Atlas said while trying to slide down the very steep path but ended up losing his footing and practically rolled down the slope. He ended getting scraped on his face deeply, leaving a rightward slash across his left eye. This bled a little but not profusely. He was out with his eyes being rolled out and he couldn't get up as he fell unconscious.

~A few hours later in the same cave~
Tuly Village Mountainside
Tuly guards are searching for Atlas

Atlas was beginning to wake up and noticed he was in a different spot than he remembered. He was in a bed and smelling something being cooked. Atlas had a semi wet rag on his forehead and his injuries had been treated but still had the pain lurking in his body. Atlas started to feel on his face and felt a rigid substance, he got up really quickly and found a mirror. His scar had been somewhat healed, but how?

He had recently got the scar from hours earlier and now it was partially healed because there was no blood and the skin felt a little rigid but smooth at the same time. He was in a house made of what he thought was wood and metal, illuminated by a fireplace and a few windows. When he was done looking at himself in the mirror, he saw the house was like a family home. With doors, food, a bookcase with a foreign language. One book however, was missing, it seemed… out of place. He looked outside the window to see the same waterfall and landscape he saw from before, when he fell from the hole.

He saw a woman with an olive green dress with onyx ornaments reading in a chair, while waiting for food to be done in a big pot. She had greenish-hazel eyes, leaning more towards the green and dark brown hair that's shoulder-length and bob shaped, sideswept to her left with some shorter strands hanging just slightly above her eyes. She had a fairly nice build, one that would make her look like royalty. To Atlas she was very attractive in more ways than one.

He walked outside and greeted this woman while rubbing the throbbing pain on his face.

"H-hey there miss." Atlas said while waving with his right hand, while his left was used to rub the pain.

"Oh, your awake… good. I have some food for you." The woman said while pointing over to the larger than average pot before them sitting atop the vibrant flame. "Come on, sit right here." She uttered to him, using her hand to tap the chair seat next to her to which Atlas sat next to her.

"If you don't mind me asking what are you doing out here? In a cave of all places too?" Atlas asked the woman before him.

"I like being in seclusion." She answered hastily.

"Away from people and animals? But why? I see you live… kind of good here." Atlas retorted back while looking behind to see the home he had woken up in had changed a little bit. It was bigger, there was now a garden around the area and the waterfall gave off a cooling scent and an ever better aesthetic to the place.

"I have everything I need in this place I call my home. A good book, my garden, food, animals, a bath, what more can I ask for when I have the earth at my fingertips." She gave him a soft smile, which Atlas kind of warmed up to her.

"Can I at least know your name, since you saved and took care of me?" Atlas requested.

"Terra." She answered back joyfully, while closing the book she had in her hands. Terra then put her hands on her cheeks and asked him the same question in return. "What's your name?"

"Atlas." He responded lightly to which Terra nodded her head in interest.

"Well it seems the food is ready Atlas, I'm going to get the plates from the inside." Terra assured Atlas. As Terra made her way to the house, the plant life around her feet began to grow and become even more beautiful. She was beautiful, her elegance in walking and the way life around her would grow was amazing to Atlas.

Atlas looked back at the book on the chair that Terra was reading and it's pages were glowing in the eyes of Atlas. The book opened to Atlas's confusion and it flipped to a certain page. Atlas picked up the book and the words were symbols and he didn't understand them. But then Atlas began to think rapidly and his mind was going crazy with all the information.

The words in the book were beginning to write themselves in the air in the English language that Atlas can understand. The words read…

Earth God's Bellow
Earth God's Devastation
Earth God's Heavenly Fist
Earth God's Cataclysm
Earth God's Adamantine Guard
Earth God's Majestic Plague
Earth God's Purging Sand Bind
God Slayer Secret Art : Havoc Meteor

The book began to transition away from these Earth God descriptions. It began to speak to Atlas's mind, while Atlas himself was in a world of his own becoming somewhat mad as the book was not meant for him to read… yet.

Terra came back from within the house and saw that Atlas was reading her book, a book of the gods, and he didn't die? The book closed in front of Atlas and he didn't move for a few seconds, only his left eye twitched.

"Um… Atlas?" Terra said with growing nervousness.

Atlas tilted his head to look at Terra and Terra had sensed his magical power from within beginning to grow, completely overwhelming his little body. Atlas began to move and act wildly as if he was mad.

"Oh no. What did the book do to him?" Terra thought and forgot all about Atlas's wild outburst. After a few seconds of thinking, Terra snapped out of her own world and wanted to know why Atlas was acting so feral. She lifted her right hand and opened her hand in the direction of Atlas and closed her hand.

A bind, made from earth was then placed around Atlas and he struggled to get free and Terra thought she had him locked. Atlas then began to crack through Terra's earth magic and he busted free only for Terra to use a higher degree of earth material.

She used regular earth, then iron, then bronze, then diamond. Nothing was good Atlas kept breaking free, showcasing his strength and perhaps god given endurance. Terra was frustrated but understood something in her head.

Maybe this boy Atlas is the chosen one to inherit my holy magic, he truly reminds me of these dragons that walked the earth not too long ago. But his magic power ascends past the dragons and could rival the gods. Atlas…

Terra then used her strongest material, even harder than diamond. Her Adamantine Crust, the diamond material infused with the power and essence of gods that can bind even the strongest creatures and Atlas was no exception.

Atlas had been bound and Terra went close to him and put her hands on his head and calmed his temporary untamed nature. "Now Atlas?"

"H-huh what?! Ow my head hurts, it feels like my head was burned a thousand times over."
"What did you learn from the book that made you become like this?" Terra asked.
"It… spoke to me saying things like Earth God's and then something after that. I can't remember." Atlas responded whilst shaking his head in frustration

"Wait a minute." Terra uttered in certainty, she grabbed the book from the chair and opened to the page where she saw the words that Atlas read. "Was this the page you read that from?"

Soon the page was understandable to Atlas but he was going through that phase again where he lost some of his sanity and that's when Terra closed the book. She then freed Atlas from the adamantine bind.

"What you read from the book isn't meant to be read by mere humans, only godly beings, but seeing as how you were able to understand the magic, you might be of divine origin." Terra affirmed Atlas.

"I didn't understand it at first, but then the book used letters to explain what they meant and then the book entered my head and the voice sounded like yours." Atlas responded back.

"Like mine? I see, so that must mean you are the one to learn my magic."
"Magic? What, you know magic? Oh yeah you do, you trapped me when I went crazy."
"Atlas, I am no ordinary wizard you see. I am a god." Terra answered bluntly

"A god? I've never heard of no god walking around, the only thing I've heard of was dragons and other creatures out in the forests. So which god are you?"

"I am Mother Earth, but everyone calls me Terra because it means earth. Well my divine friends and other beings call me that. But my magic is the very earth itself, I am the earth itself."

"That's cool Terra, so you basically are the earth and your magic must be really powerful. If I'm the one to inherit your magic, please teach me!" Atlas said while his eyes became like crystals at the thought of having powerful magic being taught to him.

"You remind me of a Titan I know. But very well, if the book deemed you worthy then so shall I. By the way, what did the voice in your head tell you before?" Terra asked curiously.

"It was something like." Atlas couldn't finish as his body stopped and the voice that spoke to him, inside of his subconscious began speaking to Terra through his voice.

"Terra my lady, this boy has been deemed worthy to inherit your godly magic and essence. He needs to be taught by you personally, so that he could become powerful because he already has special traits. His magical power reserves are highly adequate, even higher than dragons and other gods themselves. His special trait might I add, is his ability to withstand high amounts of damage and continue the battle. His Endurance is one to behold."

The voice that had taken over Atlas's body returned to its origin and Atlas was back to himself and Terra agreed to train him in God Slayer Magic.

"Atlas I will teach you God Slayer Magic, using the element of earth at your hands. I will be extra generous seeing as how you have a good deal of magical energy within you and you remind me of one of my own children, I will also teach you multiple secret arts, God Essence, Transformation Magic, and Illusion Magic. You will also be granted life beyond that of most humans due to you being one of my disciples." Terra added on and Atlas was ecstatic, hearing all the magic he was going to learn.

"I'll teach you the basics of the magic and the beginning magic spells. By the way, I noticed some people were looking for a young boy who seemed to have gotten lost. I think it may be you, you should return home after these lessons. You can come back anytime for more lessons, but it's important you come back quickly." Terra finished as she and Atlas were set to begin their magic training.

~Hours later after Atlas returned to Tuly Village~
Atlas has been exiled from Tuly Village
Returning to Terra using his magic connection to her

Atlas was walking back into the oasis that he found Terra in using his earth magic to create a safe passage. Terra noticed the change in the earth's structure and immediately thought it was Atlas. She saw Atlas with his head tilted downwards to the ground.

"Atlas what's wrong? I see something is troubling you." Terra asked her student.

"I…I don't have a family anymore." Atlas responded while looking up at Terra in grief. As he said this, Terra brought him into her embrace.

"Atlas… tell me what happened." She let him go and went down to his level and just by the look in his eyes that he truly felt alone and forgotten.

"They told me I messed a kid up badly because he hit me first. That I became mad and wild with anger, that I left him in a bloody pile. But I don't remember any of it happening, I don't know why. After that the guards brought me to my parents and then the guards exiled me. Even though my parents were like big people in the village, they tried to help me but the guards threw me out of the village." Atlas explained his exile and it made Terra a little angry as Atlas wasn't in control of what he was doing. Terra knew this was the book's doing and the fact that only gods can read that book and no mere humans can unless deemed worthy.

"That isn't fair, you didn't know what you were doing and I'm sure you didn't kill the other boy. So why would they remove you from your home? Don't worry Atlas you have me and I can take care of you until your ready to go on your own." Terra assured Atlas, which brightened up Atlas a little bit.

"Would you really take care of me as your own? Would you really be… my new mother?" Atlas asked the Earth Mother.

"You may not realize it Atlas, but the earth itself and its people are my children. That includes you, my son. However, there are children who want to plunge this earth into destruction and I can't have that and they are my enemies." Terra made sure that Atlas had a home and now it was time for him to rest because his training was full time.

~June 8th, X394~
The Fated Meeting of Gods and Dragons Commences
Terra holds a meeting to discuss a plan in a secluded location

In an unknown location after several months of training for both Nero and Atlas respectively, they learned most about what they needed to know about Dragon Slaying Magic and God Slaying Magic. Terra and Atlas were the first ones to the void, that was their meeting place. Terra had told Atlas that he would be meeting new people and creatures and that he shouldn't be afraid.

Pretty soon the Water God Dragon Mercuphobia arrived in his human form unbeknownst to Atlas, and he came with a boy, who looked the same age as Atlas, this was Nero. After Mercuphobia arrived, each of the respective dragons arrived, also in their human forms.

"Good you all have came, We need to discuss important matters leave your disciples to their area over to the left, they don't need to hear this." Terra claimed as she saw the masters transport here and a familiar face.

A young woman with a shapely hourglass figure. She had blonde hair that tied her lengthy hair back in a ponytail and had side-swept bangs in front, with two strands of hair draped down the sides of her head. She wore elegant red and white robes with a high-collared cloak.

"Anna Heartfillia, I'm glad you could make it." Terra greeted Anna.

Anna saw all these other humans and knew they were the dragons. They went as follows with their respective disciples, with the only exception being Terra and her son.

Igneel : Natsu Dragneel
Mercuphobia : Nero Lamenton
Terra : Atlas Wardnorth
Skiadrum : Rogue Cheney
Metalicana : Gajeel Redfox
Weissolgia : Sting Eucliffe
Grandeeney : Wendy Marvell

Nero went up to the other kids and tried to introduce himself, he saw a pink haired boy, a yellow haired boy, a black haired boy, a small frail dark blue haired girl, and a long black haired boy with metal piercings on his face.

"Hey guys, I'm Nero."
"I go by Natsu." The pink haired boy responded
"Gajeel." The long black haired boy followed.
"Hey Nero, I'm Sting." The yellow haired boy added.
"...Rogue." The short black haired boy uttered in disinterest.
"I'm Atlas, nice to meet you guys."
"So who's this little adorable girl." Nero asked.

"That's Wendy." Terra entered in on the introductions and affirmed the other boys.

"Now I have called you all here today, to tell you of the impending doom that this so called Dragon King will cause in the future. I'm sure many of you know who I'm speaking of…Acnologia." Terra finished and all the other dragons looked on as they knew exactly who she was talking about.

"That arrogant fool." Weissolgia started.
"More like pompous degenerate." Skiadrum followed.
"That son of a bitch has it coming anyway." Metalicana uttered in disgust.
"We were all drained of power and it's because of him. I'm just upset that he's going to fall not by my hand." Mercuphobia continued on.
"Don't worry boys and Grandeeney and Terra, our disciples will grow much stronger and take him out." Igneel added on.
"We all need to bring an end to this 'False' Dragon." Grandeeney finished.

"He's a real threat to this planet and we don't have the necessary power to take him out. But if we send our disciples to a time where there is a higher concentration of magic energy and where it's used freely, maybe it would give us a chance." Anna added before Terra could speak on the issue.

"While that would be a good idea, but you have to remember Anna, even though our disciples grow stronger as they grow older, Acnologia becomes much more powerful since he's slayed much more dragons and other creatures. Even some of my own have fallen by his hand and his power already exceeds even us right now." Terra continued on.

"This is the plan, each of you must go inside of your disciple and make them forget about this day. That will let them decide how they go about everything since a lunar eclipse will be coming in a few minutes, that's the only time when the Eclipse Gate will have enough energy to activate." Anna came up with the idea to which all the dragons agreed.

"I shall incapacitate Nero and you all should do the same with your disciples to prevent them from transforming into us basically. We want them to keep their human forms, while also keeping our power within them. Weisslogia and Skiadrum use your memory control magic on them once we've put them down." Mercuphobia continued on and the fellow dragons agreed.

The masters looked on as they saw their pupils getting along except for Natsu and Gajeel, who seemed to be fighting but not seriously. Mercuphobia walked by Nero as did the other masters to their respective disciples.

Terra looked at them while standing behind Atlas and nodded her head and each of the dragon masters knocked their students unconscious. Weissologia and Skiadrum then used their memory control to prevent them from knowing about the Eclipse Gate and to make them think that they disappeared.

"Alright now teleport inside their bodies to prevent them from transforming because of the Dragon Seed." Igneel asked of the other dragons and to Terra's case, there was no dragon seed.

"Farewell my fellow dragons. I hope our disciples become great people in the era that their sent to." Mercuphobia stated as he faded away into Nero's unconscious body.

"Don't make it seem like it's forever, we will all live on. Just in new bodies." Igneel added as he faded into Natsu.

Anna charged the Eclipse Gate and used her magic to send the Slayer disciples to a new age and era where they could use magic freely. What new adventures await these young slayers as nobody knows where they will end up, only that they will find each other and bring about an end to Acnologia.

~July 7th, X777~
Layla Heartfillia opens the Eclipse Gate
Natsu, Nero, and Atlas are stranded in Fiore
Wendy, Sting, Gajeel, and Rogue's whereabouts are unknown

"What happened this time, I feel like I hit my head again, but this time even harder." Atlas said while Natsu and Nero were waking up as well.

"Where are we?" Nero asked.

"Hell if I know." Natsu finished.

"Yo Natsu where'd you get that scarf. It looks cool." Atlas asked Natsu, as he had a brand new white scarf around his neck.

"HUH WHAT! Woah… I'm… I'm not sure. I think this is from Igneel since it has his scent and energy in it. Speaking of Igneel where is he?" Natsu wondered.

"Now that you mention it where is Mercuphobia?" Nero added on.

"A-and Terra!" Atlas questioned.

"Man we're really lost this time huh. We gotta go find some people." Nero uttered in hopelessness.
"Yea, how do you suppose we do that. Y'know CAUSE WE'RE IN A GOD DAMN FOREST NERO!" Natsu yelled in frustration.

"Damn Natsu no need to yell at Nero like that." Atlas stepped in and went to Nero's side but they both knew that Natsu was just playing around and was worked up over Igneel not being around.

They walked on as they tried to find some civilization and they did eventually. These 3 Slayers each had something special about them because through their way onto this town, they each helped each other in a way that seemed best suited for them individually. It was clear that for Natsu, it was his strength. For Atlas, it was his endurance. For Nero, it was his speed.

When they were nearing the town they decided to test their slayer magic on the field opposite of the town. This was when a middle aged man approached the 3 young slayers.

Fire Dragon ROAR!
Water Dragon ROAR!
Earth God's Bellow!

The 3 Slayers said as they fired their respective element into the air as a fusion of the 3 elements appeared and covered the sunsetting sky.

"Hey Atlas why is your earth magic black?" Natsu questioned.

"I don't know, Terra told me it's normal for God Slayer magic to be black for whatever element we use."

"Wait your a God Slayer?" Nero said in astonishment as he thought there were only Dragon Slayers.

"Yup I'm a God Slayer, I was taught by Terra. She's like the Mother of the Earth from what she told me and she's stupid powerful." Atlas finished as they noticed a middle-aged man approaching them.

"Well you boys put on quite a display with those roars. That magic is indeed very powerful." The man stated.

"Who are you old man." Natsu asked as his face changed to a more serious tone.

"Now, now I'm no enemy. My name is Makarov Dreyar and I would like to offer you boys to opportunity to join my guild." Makarov stopped the confrontation with in a nice way, but Nero, Natsu, and Atlas were confused.

"What's a guild?" Nero asked.

"A guild, is a group of people, friends who do things together and fight together as one unit. I call it a family as this guild helped save me from numerous disasters and its members are like my own children. I care for them very much like my own and I will never turn my back on them."

"That's cool since we're kinda stranded and we do need a home." Nero followed.

"And friends." Atlas chimed in.

"How about food?" Natsu stepped in.

"All of that, I would like for you young boys to join my guild as I am it's guild master. I want you 3 to come join Fairy Tail."
