A/N: Hello, readers! This is a book that I started way back in 2016.
But the original version is pretty shitty so I'm rewriting it.
It'll still have the plot line (Snow being apart of the Tower of Heaven) just will be written better.
Enjoy!
CHAPTER ONE: THE BLACK DRAGON SLAYER
A small boy wanders around in the dark forest. His parents were slaughtered and his brother was no where to be found. He wore torn up black shirt along with torn up jeans. His white hair was blowing in the wind. "I need to find shelter..." He thought. He spots a cave and runs to it.
"At least I'm sheltered from the storm..." He told himself as he saw lightning flash. That's when he suddenly heard movement in the cave. "Don't be a scaredy cat, Snow... You survived the Tower of Heaven... You can overcome whatever this is." He said. He walks closer to the noise.
"What are you doing in my cave, human?" A voice asked, making Snow flinch. Snow tries to walk backwards. "I won't ask again. What are you doing in my cave, human?" The voice asked again.
"Show yourself. I'm not afraid of you." Snow said. The voice chuckled. "You shivering states otherwise." The voice.
"I've faced hell itself. Now come out here and face me." Snow demanded.
"As you wish." The voice replied.
A large dragon stands in front of Snow. The dragon's color was black and had turquoise scales. He also had glowing red eyes. Snow had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. When he opened them again, the dragon was still there.
"Y-You're a dragon?!" Snow asked, surprised that dragons actually exist. The dragon lowered it's head down to Snow.
"Indeed, I am." The Dragon replied. It was silent for a moment.
"I am the Black Dragon, Acnologia. Also known as the Dragon King." Acnologia introduces himself to the boy.
"Do you have magic powers?" Snow asked.
"I do."
"Awesome!" Snow jumps up and down excitedly. He remembered his promise to his brother that once he escaped, he was going to learn magic. Though he wasn't sure if this dragon wanted to teach him.
Acnologia looked at the boy. "This boy will do great for my future plans. He'll destroy all Dragon Slayers..." He finally made his decision.
"Young boy, do you want to learn Black Dragon Slayer Magic?" Acnologia asks.
"S-Seriously?" Snow asked.
"I'll teach you myself." Acnologia said. "What is your name?"
"Snow. Snow Kuro." Snow replied.
The Next Day...
Acnologia wakes up and notices Snow sleeping under his wing, cuddling next to him. Acnologia smirks as he roars loudly. Snow immediately gets up, covering his ears.
"What was that for, Acnologia?!" Snow shouted, trying to stop the ringing in his ears. Acnologia drags Snow out of the cave as he threw him to the ground.
"Time for training!" Acnologia informs. Snow raises an eyebrow at him, thinking that training started tomorrow.
"I thought you said we weren't going to start training until tomorrow?" Snow questioned. Acnologia smirks at him, knowing that he had a lot of explaining to do to Snow.
"If you want to learn Black Dragon Slayer Magic, you must learn the basics first." Acnologia said. "You see that tree over there? I want you to run here and run back."
"You're joking! That's too far!" Snow complained.
"Start running!" Acnologia growled. Snow grunted as he began running slowly to the tree. "Faster, boy!" He heard Acnologia say. He started to pick up his pace and made it to the tree, then he ran all the way back.
"Your time is 3 minutes and 40 seconds." Acnologia said. "I'm surprised you can run that far in a short amount of time."
"C-Can I take a... b-break?" Snow asked, looking up at the Dragon. Acnologia nodded letting the boy take a break.
"After your break, we will start the warm up." Acnologia said, walking away. Snow looks up, realizing what he said.
"Wait! That wasn't even the warm up?" Snow asked, yelling at Acnologia. The Black Dragon turns around, chuckling at Snow.
"The real training starts tomorrow." Acnologia responded. Snow sits down on the cold floor knowing that Acnologia would probably make him run again tomorrow.
Acnologia wakes up early once more and transforms into his human form. He gets some food for Snow and himself. He brings back some birds. He changes back into his dragon form and wakes Snow up with another loud roar. Snow's eyes shot open.
"My ears! Will you stop doing that, Acnologia?" Snow angrily shouted at him.
"Eat your breakfast." Acnologia said. Snow walks over to the food and begins eating it. Once he finishes it, he looks up at the dragon.
"What are you teaching me today?" Snow asked.
"I'm going to show you one of my special attacks. Follow me." Snow follows Acnologia outside to where there was a bunch of trees.
"What are you going to do?" Snow asked.
"Watch closely, Snow." Acnologia said. He focuses on the trees in front of him and opens his mouth. "Black Dragon's Roar!" Acnologia releases a blast of blue light. Once the dust settled, the trees in his attack were destroyed.
"So cool! I want to do that!" Snow said, excitedly. Acnologia chuckles at him, glad to see his determination to learn.
"Close your eyes and concentrate." Acnologia told the boy. Snow nodded as he closed his eyes and focused on what was around him. He opens his eyes and looks at his target.
"Black Dragon's Roar!" Snow's attack was similar to Acnologia's breath attack except it was smaller and weaker. It only damaged a few trees. Snow's amazed that he was able to destroy a few things, but not as powerful.
"Very good, Snow. I'll train you harder everyday so your attacks will be stronger and more powerful." Acnologia is very proud of Snow. Acnologia lets him take a break for a few minutes as he lays down next to him.
"Do you think I can become a strong Dragon Slayer?" Snow asked, looking at the ground.
"I believe in you, Snow." Acnologia chuckled. Snow smiles at him, showing his teeth. Acnologia looks closer to sees his front canine teeth. "This boy has the ability to destroy all the Dragon Slayers in the world..." The Dragon King thinks to himself.
One Year Later...
As always, Acnologia trains Snow, who is trying to become a Black Dragon Slayer, every single day. Not knowing Acnologia's true reason to why he was training. Not only has Acnologia taught him magic but he also taught him how to read, write, cook, and other things that will become useful in his life.
Today, Snow is training with Acnologia, testing out his Magic Power. Acnologia has already taught him how to use most of his Dragon Slaying attacks. In the middle of training, Snow starts to shiver as he runs his hands up and down his arms.
"D-Dad, I-It's freezing." Snow stuttered as the wind blew.
The Black Dragon grabs a turquoise scarf and wraps it around Snow's neck, making him warm again.
"Thanks, dad!" Snow said.
"You're welcome my son." Acnologia replied.
Three years later...
Snow walks around the forest, wearing a black shirt and his turquoise scarf, looking for his target. He sniffs the air, but nothing was found. He suddenly hears footsteps. "Gotcha!" He thought and quickly runs over to where he heard it.
"Black Dragon's Roar!" Acnologia uses his breath attack and aims it at Snow. Snow turns around to see a blue blast of light coming his way. Smirking, he dodges the attack, making his way behind Acnologia. The Black Dragon looks around for the boy.
"Black Dragon's Destruction Fist!" Blue shadows cover Snow's right fist and aims for Acnologia. Then, Snow disappears from sight.
"Where are you, Snow?" Acnologia wondered, looking for the white haired boy but couldn't find him anywhere.
"Right here!" Snow said as Acnologia looks at him. "Black Dragon's Slash!" Snow shouted as he swiped his hand towards Acnologia.
"You have to hit me harder than that if you want to take me down completely." Acnologia said, chuckling at Snow. Snow growls angrily as he cracks his knuckles.
"Black Dragon's Gale Force!" A black magic circle appeared in front of him as a huge blast of blue light went towards Acnologia. "Black Dragon's Wing Attack!" Streams of blue shadows appeared, aiming for Acnologia's wings. "Black Dragon's Talon!" Snow shouted, kicking his foot towards Acnologia. Finally, he does one last move. "Black Dragon's Arrows!" Blue shadows appears as it struck Acnologia.
Acnologia didn't expect this much from Snow. He collapses to the ground. Snow rushes over to him.
"I hope I didn't hurt you too much." Snow said as he sat down next to his father, proud that he finally knows how to use Black Dragon Slaying Magic. Acnologia gets up as his wounds heal.
"I'm very proud of you, son." Acnologia gives him a smile. Snow smiles back. They go back to the cave, finally going to sleep. "Get some rest."
"Goodnight, dad." Snow curls up into a ball, going to sleep.
July 7th, X777...
Acnologia wakes up to find Snow still sleeping. He changed into his human form. "I've grown too attached to this kid. I need to leave..." He thought back to the fun times he had with Snow.
He kneels down to Snow. "Remember your task, Snow. Kill all Dragon Slayers. I have a feeling we'll meet again soon."
And with that, he left the cave, leaving Snow alone.
Snow wakes up, rubbing his eyes. Acnologia was no where to be found. Snow walks out of the cave and is met with the forest. "Acnologia! Where are you?" Snow shouted, looking for his dragon/father. "Dad!"
Snow continues to run around, running through the forest to find a large black dragon. After a few hours of searching, Snow gives up and goes back to the cave. He packs up all his things, leaving the cave and the forest so he can search for his missing father in the real world.
