"Can't you do something? Natsu is going to die!" Zeref screamed at the red dragon. It had been nearly two years since Zeref and Igneel rescued Natsu; but Natsu's health did not get any better, his wounds were gone but Natsu became very sick. Zeref tried everything to save his brother; he took him to many doctors (both magical and non-magical), he stole medicine for his dying brother but his condition did not improve. Now Zeref was pleading with Igneel to save his brother once again.

"I wish I could, but I don't have that kind of power to save your brother." The dragon sighed with a sad expression on his face. Just then a little boy with black hair ran around the corner with a big smile on his face.

"Zeref! Igneel! Look what I found!" Natsu yelled as the two looked at the black-haired boy.

"What did you find, Natsu?" Zeref asked, kneeling down to his level. Natsu smiled and lifted a small stuffed dragon covered with mud and sticks.

"What is that?" Igneel tilted his head at the toy in curiosity.

"It's a dragon! It looks just like you, Iggy!" Natsu shouted happily, holding the toy up for Igneel to see. Igneel sweat dropped at the nickname Natsu gave him and examined the toy. It was a red dragon with gold eyes and a button nose, but the toy was dirty and worn out from the elements that it was missing one eye and its head loped to the side.

"Very cool, a little dragon," Igneel stated in a sarcastic tone, and Zeref chuckled at Igneel's discomfort seeing the stuffed dragon. Natsu ran around his brother making the stuffed dragon fly in his hand raised to the sky. Both Igneel's and Zeref's spirits lifted looking at the lively boy, but that did not last long as Natsu suddenly fell, coughing up blood. Zeref ran to his brother and kneeled next to him, worriedly putting one of his hands on the shoulder and the other hand stroked his head. Natsu looked up tiredly, clutching the stuffed dragon to his chest as he leaned into his brother's chest.

"Z-Zeref, I'm tired?" Natsu spoke weakly. Zeref did not want Natsu to go to sleep because he feared that his brother would not wake again; his mind swirled in dark thoughts as he looked at the small weak form of his brother.

"What did they do to him?" Zeref asked no one in particular. Igneel stared silently at the two boys with great sadness. He hadn't known the Dragneel brothers for very long but he felt close to them, like they were his own children. But seeing the youngest one sick and dying made his heart ache to help the boy, but there truly was nothing he could do.

Four weeks after that Natsu died.

Natsu was smiling when he died, not wanting his brother to cry. Igneel tried to help Zeref after his brother's death but Zeref didn't want any of it… his world ended that day as if he had been torn apart for a second time. He cried for weeks, for the brother he lost and the smile he would never see again.

'Why – why did he have to die? He was so young and always so happy. Why did this world take him away? His smile could have changed the world.' Zeref thought to himself, picturing his brother's happy face. He did not bury his brother; he couldn't bring himself to do so. Igneel offered to cremate him, but Zeref could not handle seeing his brother go up in the flames he loved so much. No, he preserved his body in an etherion egg.

He had found his resolve. Zeref left Igneel to search for a way to bring his brother back to life. He would do anything to give Natsu the life that was taken from him before his time. Natsu would live again.

For years Zeref studied about life and death, coming up with the Tower of Heaven or the R-System but he threw that idea away when he realized how many people would have to die in order for them to work. Then he came up with the Eclipse Gate but that too was a failure. Soon after that, he was kicked out of the Magic Academy. Zeref was so angry at them and that was the first time his curse manifested;he killed everyone at the school. Having run away, Zeref fell deeper and deeper into despair, as he wandered the world. While he did so, the more he unwillingly took lives, the more he wished to die. The only thing that kept him going was the hope to see his brother's smile again.

Zeref awoke from his memory to a knock on his door; he rolled over to see who would wake him up at this ungodly hour only to see it was 6 o'clock in the morning. Natsu walked in and Zeref sighed sleepily upon seeing his brother.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" Natsu apologized as he walked into the room. Zeref shook his head and sat up in bed.

"What do you need, Natsu?" Zeref asked; it had been a little less than a week since Natsu moved into the castle, which made Zeref very happy. Today Natsu would be meeting the Spriggan 12 for the first time since his arrival. This would be the frist day Natsu would be recognized as the prince to the empire.

Natsu did not answer as he walked over to a small table in the corner of the room. He picked up a very old picture which was mostly faded and one of the corners was burnt.

"Is this what Mom and Dad looked like?" Natsu asked, looking at the picture of a tall man with black hair and black eyes. He was wearing a toga, like Zeref but with dark red color and a white sash, and he had a bright smile on his face. The woman next to him had light pink hair tied up into a bun with a golden ring in it, she wore two gold armbands and a gold necklace, a black shirt that showed her belly and a white sash that hung from her left shoulder down to her right hip. Also included in the picture were younger versions of Natsu and Zeref who also wore the same clothes as their father. But Zeref's was in white with a black sash and Natsu's in red with a white sash. Natsu could also see the younger version of him had black hair much like their fathers.

"Yeah." Zeref murmured, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"I remember so little of them in all my dreams so far. I can't see their faces, but I know when they were smiling," Natsu spoke in a sad tone. Zeref frowned as he looked at Natsu in worry, wondering about what could be going on to make Natsu upset.

"Natsu… are you alright?" Zeref asked, getting out of bed and walking over to his brother. When Natsu had first arrived at the castle, he had asked lots of questions about what was happening to him, and about their past. Zeref tried his best to answer all of his brother's questions, but it just left Natsu more confused than before, so Zeref finally told him that he would be getting all his memories back over time.

"…Yeah, I'm fine. I still don't understand why you took away my memories?" Natsu sighed, setting down the picture and turned to face Zeref.

Zeref sighed, he did not want to explain that topic with his brother, but looking at his face he caved. "Natsu, I wanted Igneel to raise you properly. I wanted for you to start over and have a happy life." Well, it was mostly the reason for his actions, but he didn't want Natsu to know what really happened. In truth, he feared for Natsu finding out the truth when his memory returned. Natsu stared at Zeref for a long time, and Zeref returned the stare, seeing if he believed the story his brother had told him. After a minute of the two staring, Natsu dropped his gaze. If his brother did not want to tell him the whole truth, then Natsu would wait until Zeref was ready, or he would figure it out himself.

"Natsu, what is really bothering you?"

"I had another dream, another memory. I remembered how I… died." Zeref looked down; he had the same dream and nearly 500 years later he still had nightmares about it. The room felt like it was starting to suffocate the two brothers, so Zeref tried to break the silence.

"Natsu…" Zeref trailed off, he really didn't know what he could say. Before he could add anymore, he was cut off.

"it's doesn't matter now I am here so Let's go! I want to meet everyone!" Natsu shouted while looking up and giving one of his famous smiles. Zeref smiled in return, forgetting about all his worries and followed Natsu out of the room.

A large oval table sat in the center of a large marble room; around the table sat fourteen chairs, each except four of them were seated by the members of Spriggan 12.

"Where is he?" Ajeel grumbled as he put his feet onto the table with a bored look on his face.

"Don't be so impatient, His Majesty is busy," Invel spoke. After Natsu's initial arrival Zeref had Invel summon the 12 but didn't tell the ice general the reason why. Ajeel shot Invel a glare, but he did not seem fazed. Just then the large doors swung open to reveal two figures walking in. The ten Spriggan stood in respect to their emperor, but they did not recognize the second person. As the two walked in Zeref smiled, and everyone was confused because they knew Zeref never smiled like that before, if he smiled at all. Everyone watched the pink haired man with calculating eyes, most of them trying to judge how strong he was. When everyone sat down Zeref spoke in a light tone.

"Welcome, everyone. I am glad so many of you could show up on such short notice; I see we are still missing Larcade and Irene though." He paused and turned to his adviser. "Invel, is there any word of their whereabouts?" Zeref asked, giving a small smile which made everyone a little nervous.

"No, your majesty," Invel replied, staring at Natsu with cold eyes, which Natsu returned just the same.

"So, who is that guy?" Neinhart asked, casually pointing at Natsu.

Zeref turned to face his brother, thinking on how he would introduce him, but as if Natsu could read his mind he stood up.

"My name is Natsu, and I am his younger brother." He stated, smiling and pointing at Zeref while the Spriggan stared in shock at this new development.

"Your majesty up, I was not aware you had a brother," August gasped, as Natsu sat back down and looked at his brother with a smile.

"Yes, Natsu has just been away for a long time, but now he is back." Zeref stated, looking at his brother then to the gathered group, "I expect you all to welcome him as the Prince of Alvarez." Everyone began to clap for the return of their prince… that they didn't know they had.

"Is he strong?" Ajeel whispered, mostly to himself as he couldn't wait to test the strength that the brother of the emperor possessed. He was surprised to see Natsu smirk in his direction, as if the prince heard him, which he had.

After the meeting, Zeref gave Natsu a full tour of the castle and he met the castle staff on the way. When that was done Zeref introduced Natsu to the rest of the country in which Natsu was immediately loved by Alvarez people, mostly by the girls and some of the men…

The next day

Natsu walked down the massive hallways, thinking about everything that had happened so far and how he could help his brother out of that curse he had. Lastly, Natsu's mind went to Fairy Tail; wondering what all of them were doing at that moment, and if anyone had missed him. Natsu shook his head, getting rid of those thoughts; he was with the Alvarez Empire now, not Fairy Tail. Natsu turned to one of the large castle rooms, it was also easily the brightest room in the castle. Well, except for the greenhouse in the castle gardens, which was completely made out of windows. Natsu liked this room because he could clearly see the city from here without going out onto the main balcony.

Natsu walked over to one of the many glass windows and looked down to see many happy people talking to each other and shopping; it brought a smile to his face, thinking he could be part of something good. Natsu was so lost in thought that he did not notice someone coming in.

"Your Highness, your brother would like to see you in his study."

Natsu turned to see who had spoken only to see the castle's minister Yajeel. "Yajeel, I didn't see you come in," Natsu stated, also proud that he remembered the minister's name and gave one of his many smiles. "Do you know what my brother wants to see me about?"

"No, my Prince. He just asked to see you right away," Yajeel stated while bowing, a smile also on his face as he soaked in Natsu's mood.

"Well then, I guess I shouldn't keep him waiting. Thank you, Yajeel." Natsu spoke and walked past the smiling minister.

After an hour of walking (he got lost) Natsu finally found a set of big wooden doors on the far end of the castle. This was his brother's second study, where he did all of his weird experiments. Natsu sighed and knocked on the door. He could already smell the chemicals Zeref was using for one of his experiments. Natsu did not understand what he was trying to accomplish and he didn't want to know. Natsu opened the door after a couple of seconds, walking in and plugging his sensitive nose.

"You called!" Natsu asked, his voice sounding a little funny as he was trying to find his brother in the mountains of papers with different theories on them and many test tube and bottles with different colored liquid and other strange things in them; Natsu thought one was looking at him so he turned away and found his brother sitting at a large metal table in the only empty corner in the room. "You called!" Natsu asked again, getting his brother's attention. If there was one thing he remembered about his brother, it was how much he loved to study. At least he knew something would never change.

"Natsu! I didn't hear you come in!" Zeref gasped, standing up really fast and knocking some of his papers on the floor. Natsu just rolled his eyes.

"What did you need to talk to me about? Because I swear, if it is for one of your weird experiments, I'm out!" he said as Zeref scrambled to straighten up us mess either though it was a losing battle.

"No, it's nothing like that. However, I do have something to help with that motion sickness you told me about." Zeref stated, walking over to one of the many tables and picking up a dark blue box and handing it to Natsu. Opening the box, Natsu saw it was filled with many glowing light blue cubes.

"These are all going to help me with my motion sickness?" Natsu asked, picking one out of the box, curiously turning it over in his hand, with a suspicion look on his face.

"Yes, just take one before you get on some transportation. I call them motion pills." Zeref spoke proudly, walking back to the desk he was sitting at to pick up more papers he had dropped.

"Motion pills really; that makes them seem like they cause motion sickness instead of curing it." He deadpanned, putting the blue cube back in the box. Zeref frowned at the thought that his younger brother did not like the name.

"They won't completely cure you sad to say but they wont stop working after continuous use either."

"Thanks" Natsu said putting the small box in his pocket.

"Well anyway, that was not the only reason why I called you here, Natsu." Zeref stated becoming more serious. Natsu came to attention, staring into the other's eyes.

Seeing that Natsu was listening Zeref began to speak, "Natsu, you know the nature of my curse, right?" Natsu just nodded wanting Zeref to go on. "Well, then you know that I can't die…" he started looking down not wanting to see his brother's eyes.

"Zeref, where is this going?" Natsu asked in a low voice.

"Natsu, I've been waiting all this time. I've seen many civilizations rise and fall. I wanted to die. I wanted to see you Natsu. I don't want to kill anyone anymore, you're the only one who can stop me. I was cursed because… I loved and lost you. Natsu, I want you to kill me, you are the only one wh-" Zeref was cut off by a punch to the face sending him to the floor, again knocking off more of his papers he just picked up. Zeref looked up at his brother in shock; seeing Natsu's hair was shadowing his eyes.

"What did you say?... You want me to kill you!" Natsu hissed dangerously. Natsu grabbed Zeref's shirt lifting him slightly "What would make you think I would let you die! Every time we meet, you talk about the same thing. WHEN ARE YOU GONNA CUT OUT THAT DEPRESSING DEATH WISH OF YOURS?! CAUSE YOU'RE SERIOUSLY DRIVING ME CRAZY!" Natsu shouted letting go of his brother whose eyes were wide, as he fell back to the floor. He was sweating at the fiery magic Natsu was releasing in his rage. Forcing himself to calm down, Natsu breathed out, "you said you loved me and you didn't want anything to hurt me again… so what do you think killing you would do to me? I love you, Zeref. You are the only family I have left and I will find a cure, you don't have to die. So please, live on… if not for yourself, then live for me. I don't want to lose you again. Not when I just got you back." His eyes were filled with determination and pain.

Zeref was shocked to realize that his brother would feel this way about him. Then, thinking about what Natsu said, he immediately felt guilty for what he wanted Natsu to do, and for making Natsu slap some sense into him.

"But-"

"I hope you will not bring this up again. If that is all you wanted to talk to me about, I am going to go and clear my head." Natsu snapped, cutting him off. He turned and walked out of the wooden doors, leaving Zeref on the floor where he had thrown him.

Natsu stormed through the hall, feeling upset that even after everything Zeref and he had been through together, he still wished to die and leave him again. First, he lost his real parents, then Igneel died right in front of him and now, his brother had a death wish! Was it his fate to see his family die and continue to leave him… alone? Natsu froze, eyes wide at his realization; and it was just his luck that God Serena showed up.

"Hey! I have been looking for you," God Serena called, doing his weird dance thing. He walked towards Natsu.

"Not now," Natsu hissed, quickly walking down the wall. He was NOT in the mood to deal with a crazy person that thought he was a real dragon slayer just because he had eight dragon lacrimas implanted in him.

"I know you are new to the castle and so, all new people must fight me! The God Serena! Plus, you are a dragon slayer; we could have a fight between Dragon Slayers!" he cheered

"Liar," Natsu hissed, his anger only growing.

"What?!" God Serena asked, frowning a little. Natsu kept walking so that this member of the Spriggan 12 had to jog to keep up.

"I said liar as in someone who is not telling the truth. I really do not have time to deal with you, so leave me alone."

"Hey!" God Serena shouted as he grabbed Natsu's shoulder and turned him around to face him. He was not happy anymore, and was going to get a fight out of Natsu, one way or the other. But Natsu had other plans. Before Serena could react Natsu punched him in the face with a flaming fist, sending the Spriggan 12 member through the wall of the castle out into the courtyard, shocking several staff members and two other members of the Spriggan 12, who looked up in alarm at the hole in the wall and saw an angry looking Natsu. Seeing that God Serena was unconscious he turned and walked away, feeling a little better now that he got to punch something. He should have done that earlier, he thought.

Later Natsu made it to his room. After his talk with his brother and God Serena he had spent the rest of the day in the castle's massive library, trying to find a way to help his brother. Only after not finding anything had he decided to go to his room. The room was probably the size of his house that he shared with Happy, a king-sized bed. On it laid a red blanket with flames at the end, a dark wood frame which was connected with a roof where white curtains hung. Carved into the wood were dragons, and brightly colored flames could be seen moving like real fire on the bed posts. Next to the bed was a small nightstand with a lamp and a small stack of books. Up against one wall was a magic wardrobe and right next to it was the biggest bathroom that Natsu had ever seen. There was also a small desk full of notes and magic books on the opposite wall.

Natsu had moved into the room right after he arrived at the castle, but the room still looked empty; he did not have a lot of things since he left after the battle with nothing but the clothes on his back. He had no desire to go back to his old house in order to get a few things in the slim chance someone might see him. Sighing, Natsu sat on the bed and looked around the room and saw how empty it really was. Then a knock sounded at the door.

"What do you want?" Natsu asked, crossing his arms across his chest and glared at the man who walked into his room. Zeref hung his head, looking at his feet.

"Natsu, I just wanted to say I'm sorr-"

"Zeref. I don't want to hear it," Natsu said, scolding his older brother.

"Even so, I should have considered your feelings, and I am sorry." Zeref stated as his head rose and walked further into the room. Natsu got up and went over to his window, keeping the distance between them to looking out and seeing the orange and red sunset.

"I don't want your apology…" Natsu stated, making Zeref frown thinking what he would have to do to get his brother to forgive him. "I just want you to promise me that you will never bring up any new plans to kill yourself; then asking me to murder my own brother." Zeref was surprised at Natsu's words and when Natsu turned around Zeref nodded, tears forming in his eyes. Natsu walked over to his brother and wrapped his arms around Zeref, bringing him into a hug, which made the dark mage stiffen. Not used to the action and not wanting his curse to activate. Despite this he didn't want Natsu to let go it had been centuries since his brother and he got to be in each other embrace. "Zeref, all I want from you, is to see you smile again and be happy like we were when we were kids."

"Natsu… are you going to leave me?" Zeref asked softly, scared of the answer, his body still tense.

"No, this is my home and I will never leave you again." Zeref relaxed a little at Natsu's soft words.

"Thank you, Natsu." Zeref sighed his face buried into Natsu's chest but the younger brother still heard him and smiled.

It was his first official day as the Prince of Alvarez, and already he was starting to make an impression, either a good one or a bad one - no one knew for sure but what was for certain was that things were about to change in this empire.

The Next day

Natsu had called the 12 to gather.

"Didn't we have a meeting the other day? Why are we having another one?" Ajeel groaned as he waited for the Emperor to enter the room.

"I don't know but this is such a pain." Brandish sighed while eating some sweets.

"God Serena, you seem awfully quiet today. Does that have anything to do with how easy you were beaten yesterday?" Dimaria asked. God Serena glared at her. News of his one hit defeat had traveled fast in the castle, and all he wanted to do was for a rematch to prove he was the strongest.

"I didn't lose! He just caught me off guard, is all." He snapped, not really in the mood for his dramatics.

"Well, I personally would like to see the power our new Prince has." August spoke and the others nodded.

"well you will get the chance…" A new voice spoke as the 12 turned to see Natsu standing next to Zeref at the door, with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesties!" they gasped, surprised that they didn't notice the two Royals walking in.

"If you don't mind me asking - what do you mean by that, Your Majesty?" Invel asked, addressing the question in their direction, not knowing who had spoken first, though it was Natsu who did.

"Natsu was the one that called this meeting." Zeref stated, and if they didn't know better, he seemed a little worried. The 12 turned to face Natsu with confused expressions.

"I understand that many of you would like to test my power. Honestly, I would like to prove myself as your Prince." Natsu stated. In truth, he just wanted to test his new power against these guys.

"So, what you are saying is that you are challenging us to a fight?" Dimaria asked, beginning to understand what the prince was suggesting.

"Yes, I will have my rematch!" God Serena shouted, his mood improved and he was doing many weird poses again.

"This could get out of hand really quickly. Tell me, Prince Natsu, do you know who we are by our reputation?" Invel asked, not sure this was a good idea. He didn't want to be held responsible if something happened to the Prince, thus risking being on the receiving end of the Emperor's wrath.

"Yeah, my brother has told me a little bit about your power and some of your accomplishments," Natsu stated, "and unlike my brother I love a good fight, and I look forward to the challenge." Natsu had a fanged smile on his face as he held his arms behind his head.

"I have agreed to this. Please, just try not to destroy all of Alvarez in the process." Zeref sighed. Natsu had come to him earlier in the day to ask about this, saying he wanted to test out some of his recovered power as END, and he felt the Spriggan 12 would be good sparring partners. Zeref couldn't say no to his little brother so he reluctantly agreed. He had no doubt Natsu could win since he had the power of a dragon and a demon on his side, but it had been at least 200 years since Natsu had used the powers of END. He wasn't sure what was going to happen, especially against all of the gathered Spriggan 12.

"I call fighting him first!" God Serena shouted as they made their way to the castle's training ground which, frankly, was a large arena, luckily far from the castle. This was the main training ground where the knights would train, as well as the 12 whenever they wanted to.

Once there, Zeref and the remaining 12 sat up in the viewing area while Natsu and God Serena were in the middle of the arena. Zeref didn't say anything about rules or when to begin so once everyone was settled God Serena attacked with a water dragon roar hoping to do as much damage as possible. The breath attack tore up the earth as it raced for Natsu, but he didn't move. When the attack was close enough Natsu swiped his bare hand cutting the attack in half.

God Serena was shocked; never in his life had someone blocked his attack like that with no magic. He recovered quickly and charged Natsu again, this time with an earth dragon attack, and again Natsu dispelled the attack with his bare hands.

"You're not holding back on me, are you?" Natsu asked, somewhat disappointed in this 'dragon slayer'. The comment seemed to make God Serena mad as scales began to appear on his body.

"God Serena is foolish, already going to his most powerful form. Either way, he is far outmatched." Dimaria groaned, she was hoping to see more of the prince's power before she fought him but she was also excited. If Natsu could defeat God Serena without magic then he was definitely a worthy opponent.

"We haven't seen him use any magic yet and he has already bested the strongest man in Ishgar." August was now intrigued by Zeref's brother. Now Natsu was actually fighting back but you could tell he was holding back quite a lot, and soon the fight was over. God Serena was not able to land even one attack on the Prince.

After that, Natsu fought all of the remaining Spriggan 12 individually, except Brandish as she said it would be too much of a hassle, and with August they called it a draw since they were causing too much damage in their fight. With that Natsu had more than earned their respect, and for the first time in a very long time they were smiling - truly smiling. They were not upset with their losses nor held any ill will towards Natsu because with every win Natsu had congratulated them with a smile. He didn't brag about his victories and was always quite friendly. His smile seems to also brighten their moods as they soaked it in. All in all, they thought it was a fun challenge. The fact that they had lost didn't seem to bother them as Natsu proved he was their superior. In all honesty, it gave them all a reason to get stronger. And with that Natsu had made 10 new friends in the Alvarez Empire.

"You did pretty good out there, Natsu. How are you feeling?" Zeref asked as Natsu walked back to the castle.

"Honestly? My body is sore… After fighting all of them I think I need a nap." Natsu breathed out, but he had a smile on his face. He had enjoyed those fights as well.

"You have used up a lot of magic fighting them one after another. I am honestly surprised you are still standing, much less walking." Zeref observed. He was also surprised; in those fights Natsu didn't go into his Etherious form, or Dragon force which even made him wonder just how strong his brother was.

"Well, chalk that up to willpower, because if that fight with August lasted any longer or he started taking the fight more seriously I would probably have needed to be wheeled out." Natsu chuckled softly, he was exhausted and his injuries were already healing but he still used pretty much all the magic he had in fighting all of them. If they were to attack him all at once and aim to kill, Natsu would've been in trouble. "You should be proud, Big Brother. They are all very strong mages." affirmed Natsu with a satisfied smile. Zeref was surprised with Natsu's words.

"You had fun, didn't you?" Zeref replied, not offering a comment to Natsu's statement.

"Yep!" Natsu grinned while popping the 'p'. No one was hurt badly enough to need medical attention, which was a miracle if you looked at the state of the arena. Once get got out of the bath he was plaining on heading to bed early when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Natsu called wondering if it was his brother "Invel? Can I help you with something?" Natsu asked this being the first time Invel had approached Natsu without his brother nearby.

"I wanted to congratulate you on you fights today. Your highness." He stated with a bow Natsu would be lying if he didn't find it a little uncomfortable to be addressed as a prince.

"Okay, thanks I had fun." Natsu smiled

"I also wanted to talk to you about your training."

"Training?"

"Yes your princely studies you have been here for almost two weeks now only three of them official announcement as the prince. I have already talked to his majesty and he said it would be a good idea."

Natsu sighed "fine but do we need to start right now?"

"No, your highness just meet me in your study tomorrow morning to start your lessons."

"Wait I have my own study?" Natsu asked Invel nodded and with a bow he left. Natsu sighed again surprised how his life had changed so much in a short amount of time.

It was now starting to get dark so Natsu got ready for bed. It had been a good day… and he hope there would many more to come.

Next chapter will be just a flashback chapter
