Chapter 3: Fateful Encounter

Hello~ Sorry it took so long, I literally wrote this in like an hour, school started and yata yata!

Fairy Kingdom:

Levy's sobs had become nothing more than little hiccups, then slowing down into deep breaths in Lucy's shoulder by the time they let go of each other. As Levy looked up at her, Lucy could practically see the lightbulb go off in her brain.

"You need to go to that meeting Lu," she rushed, "You have to," she looked up at the grand clock, "it still hasn't started, you can make it if you run, or fly," she looked up at her friend again, "or just run, if the cry-sesh hasn't helped all that much," she chuckled faintly.

Lucy huffed and crossed her arms, "no, thanks Lev, but I don't think I can make it even if I wanted to, and definitely a no for the flying. For now," she smiled softly at Levy, "c'mon, I wanna watch a movie,"

Halfway out her door she realized her blue haired companion wasn't following, "Lev?"

"Lucy," the girl said not facing her, "I heard something on the streets, and if it's true you have to go immediately," she said.

"What've you heard?"

"It's nothing much if you haven't heard it. But we won't know unless you go. Either way, you have to go, I'm not making sense but trust me, Lu," she turned and faced the princess, "you have to go. I'll help you if you need it, but c'mon, you have to go,"

"Levy, I'm not going unless you tell me what you've heard."

Levy sighed and looked at the ground, "Levy, what did you hear?" Lucy's voice becoming steadily louder and more panicked.

Dragon Kingdom:

Kicking at the pebbles that have found their way in Natsu's path, he put his hands in his pockets, shoulders stretching, begging for the throbbing wings to be set free. Halfway across the road he saw the council.

It takes way longer walking, but Igneel had said the wind would slice up the stupid suit. Natsu loved wearing baggy sweat pants and shirts while flying, the fabric whipping against his skin and getting home completely wrecked and drenched in sweat, only to get scolded for not wearing the special armor he has to wear in front of the citizens.

Flying was never graceful for dragons.

It simply wasn't meant to be.

Flying was meant to be fierce and violent, in the old days they would hold trials and duels, but they had to become more civilized, ugh, Natsu almost gagged on the neatness that flying was considered to be now.

Except for fairies.

Why don't they have faces of concentration when flying? They only have sorrow or self conscious expressions when they let their wings out, if they ever do. Natsu remembered flying alongside a practically silent, steady whoosh of golden hair and speed that would test the limits of even himself.

With all these talents, why is their kingdom so grey?

Natsu shook his head of these thoughts, I hate walking, it gives me time to think.

When they finally opened the giant wooden door and entered the facility, he immediately started looking around for the fairies. One of which I have to- He couldn't even get the thought through his head.

"Hey pops," he whispered, "Is the f-fairy here?" Damn his stutter.

"Nah, not that I see, I do see her father though," his father whispered back before bellowing, "Hello Jude! It's been so long!" And then they did a bro-arm-hug-thing that almost forced Natsu to run away to the other side of the kingdom, but instead he settled for going to get some juice and, realizing he knew nobody here, coming back to the two Kings, "Natsu, you know King Jude, he is the King of the Fairy Kingdom, your soon to be father-in-law!"

Natsu choked on his juice and almost made it go out of his nose, very smooth, old man. He looked up at the King and saw his face go paler than before, "So, where's the princess? Don't tell me she got too scared again?" Basically threatening the other King at the peace council, and causing a scene, yup my dad has lost it.

"Ahem, sorry Igneel, she may not make it, you know- uh- girls and clothes and makeup," he came back with the lamest excuse -ever, like what the hell? Is the old man gonna even- Natsu looked up at his father and saw him rolling his eyes.

"I'm sure, ok we'll see you in there Jude, I think I may send my son back home for the day, there is no point to this council if we aren't going to make peace in Fiore for good." Wow, pops is kinda salty today.

"I-uh- alright sir, I'll see you in there," when it became apparent that the Dragneels weren't leaving first, Jude left slowly and awkwardly, so awkward in fact that Natsu became terrified that Jude may even point finger guns at them while walking away.

Once he left, Igneel said, "I meant what I said Natsu, you can leave. I'm not going to force you to stay here for no reason," And with that, Natsu was left alone in a big room full of old men and women in some position of power. Shit. Before anyone could come up and ask him about the current situation of blah blah blah, literally anything, he ran through the wooden door he came in from not even ten minutes before, still running, taking off his jacket, getting ready to let his wings loose, he tripped over something and was hurdled toward the ground.

"OW!"

Or someone.

He saw a flash of gold and brown, and then the bluest of blue. He was facing the sky, on top of something-someone, and his wings were throbbing even harder than before.

"Are you gonna get off of me or do I have to manhandle you?" He heard a feminine voice say, and immediately he replied with,

"Like to see ya try," and put dead weight on whoever it was. My citizens know how I am, so they're basically asking for this, he thought with a smirk.

"Okay, fine," he felt a sharp sensation on his lower back.

"OW SHIT, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FO-" he started, but stopped when he stood up and looked down at the crumpled form of a girl. There were purple wings, kinda like a butterfly, different from his own. Kinda like the Princess of the Fairies.

The princess?

His princess?

Ok, I think I'm going to update every Sat or Sun!

Alsooooo, I ahve a question: Should Gray/Juvia/Gajeel/Erza be fairies or dragons? I'm pretty sure Gajeel's gonna be a dragon bc well yeah, same with Wendy. Okay, Maybe I'll have all the dragon slayers be dragons lol ;D See ya'll next week!
