On with the story

A few days has passed ever since Natsu and Éclair's mating ceremony

Things in Dragnof is livelier as usual as the citizens were waiting on a coming announcement from the King

Nearly most of the Citizens were gathered at Grandeeney's temple as some guards were blocking them from entering

Within the temple, Natsu and his mates gathered around while Grandeeney who had Wendy on top of her head looks down

Kagura was in the center of the attention as her eggs were soon hatching

The Kraken carried her eggs with her tentacles as everyone awaits the coming of the two first born

The two violet eggs shakes around before one had a crack

Everyone watched the egg as the crack spreads down before breaking and a little violet blue serpent like Dragon hatched while curled up like a ball

The little Dragon uncurls itself as it opens its eyes and let out a squeaking cry out

Everyone awed to the newborn Dragon as Kagura carries it up in her arms, nuzzling it with affection

"it hatched…" Natsu said with a smile as his first child finally came, the proud man now father went close as he scratches his child's head, earning a few squeaks from the little Dragon

"congratulations" Grandeeney said with a smile "your first child is a beautiful girl"

"what should we name her?" Kagura asked while petting her child's head gently

"Levia" Natsu said with a smile "Levia, the Sea Dragon"

The now named Levia let out a few squeaks to her father as Natsu scratches her chin a few times, earning what sounded like purring growls

Before long, the second egg had cracks on top before the top part of the egg breaks off, and two little greenish blue reptile legs popped out

Everyone looks at the reptile legs as they were scurrying around in the air, making everyone laugh a bit

Natsu carried the egg as the little legs went in the egg before a greenish blue Dragon head came popping out

The father smiled to his second child as the little Dragon breaks off the shell of its egg before revealing itself while letting out a squalling squeak

The little Greenish Blue Dragon had legs but wings that looks like fins, it had a shark like fin on the top of its back and a horn on the tip of its head

"and the second child is a boy" Grandeeney said while letting out a few chuckles "how ironic that the two first born are brother and sisters"

The little male Dragon let out a few squalling squeaks as Natsu pets its head before scratching its chin

"this one shall be named Kaithen." Natsu said as he petted his son's head "Kaithen, the Storm Dragon"

Kaithen looking to like the name, squirms around before jumping to his mother who caught him and giggles

Natsu chuckled as his other mates surround the two newborns while the man went outside the Temple

Everyone awaited outside, saw their king who had a joyful smile

"my first children are born!" Natsu exclaimed as everyone soon cheered like crazy "remember! For this day! The first born daughter! Levia, The Sea Dragon! The first born son! Kaithen, the Storm Dragon! Have come to this world!"

The crowds cheered even more as the King now had two children now

Natsu smiled to his people before he turns and sees Kagura coming to him with their two children

"feast upon your eyes! The first prince and Princess of Dragnof!" Natsu exclaimed as he holds both his children up, everyone soon cheered to meet them

Levia and Kaithen instantly looks confused from their cheering as the two soon squirms around and jumped to their mother who caught them with her tentacles

"seems to me that they are not liking the highly loud cheering" Kagura said as the two Dragon Hatchlings squeaks to her

"I guess so," Natsu said while rubbing his chin "Sea element Dragons are always in the deep and quiet sea after all"

The kingdom's citizens keep on cheering as they were overjoyed to know the news of the two firstborns

Natsu with his family soon went to the port as Grandeeney with Atlas Flame was with them

"Sea Dragon Hatchlings should experience the feeling of sea water at the start of birth" Atlas stated while having a chuckle "this should be interesting to watch as not many has set eyes to Sea Dragon Hatchlings"

"Agreed" Grandeeney stated with a smile

Natsu and Kagura sets down their children into the sea water as Kaithen and Levia floats on the water before they dived down then surfacing as they squeak out, and started flapping their fins in the water

"they love the water already" Lucy said as Levia jumps on Kaithen, the two sank into the water before the two surfaces up and started chasing after each other in the water

"they're sea Dragons after all" Natsu said before he got squirts of water to the face by his kids who looks to be laughing at him

"sea Dragons who likes to squirt water at their father" Kagura added in with a smile and some giggles as Natsu wipes off the water on his face

Kaithen and Levia soon swims away as they squeak to their father in a mocking way

"just because I'm part Fire Dragon, doesn't mean that I can't get into the water" Natsu said, getting ready to enter the water to chase after his kids but a guard came running in and shouting to him, making him stop

"my king!" the guard exclaimed as he kneels down to Natsu "forgive me for intruding you, My king!"

"what is it?" Natsu asked looking at the guard who stood up and presented Natsu, two letters to which he takes and looks "the Elves and the Demons…again?"

"there is more, my king" the guard stated "there is an envoy from the Elves, The Dark Elves to be precise, who had come seeking an audience with you"

"an envoy? From the Dark Elves?" Natsu said, looking curious and confused at the same time

"what actions should we take, my king?" the guard asked as Natsu sighs while looking at the letters before to Kagura and his mates who nodded to him

"go, we'll be here waiting" Kagura told him before Kaithen and Levia came swimming and started squeaking to her

"I'll get back after meeting this envoy" Natsu said with a smile before looking to the guard "leave the rest to me"

"yes!" the soldier saluted before Natsu spreads his wings and flied to the air before away. Kaithen and Levia squeaks out as they tried flapping their fins to fly but failed in trying to do so

"you two can't fly, you two are sea Dragons" Lucys said before getting sprayed with water by the two hatchlings. Lucy's face and hair now dripping wet thanks to the two

"do they like doing that?" Erza asked while looking at Lucy then to Kagura

"seems so" Kagura said giggling as she entered the water, her two children swimming around her before they dive down the water together

In front of the hidden entrance

Ceros and the guards watched a hooded figure who is the Dark Elves' envoy who is just standing there motionlessly

"he's just standing there" a guard whispered to another as everyone was not taking their eyes of the hooded Dark Elf "it's creeping me out"

"just shush and wait for the King to come" the other guard told him before Natsu soon came landing down in front of them while wearing his armor "and here he is"

Natsu stood up straight as he looks at the hooded envoy

"leave" Natsu said to the hooded envoy while pulling out his magic gun and firing some shots at the forest nearby "now"

"m-my king? This is a bit.." the guard said before everyone saw more hooded figures appearing beside the first one "they multiplied!?"

"we do not take hooded envoys here in Dragnof especially those who try sneak attacks" Natsu said sternly as he holds his gun up and points it at them "show me who you are, or I'll personally escort you back to whichever forest you came from..in Pieces!"

Ceros and the guards got on guard as they went offensive against them

"please wait" one of the hooded figures replied as the figure takes off his hood to reveal himself as a male Dark Elves who looks young to be in the age of a teenager or not but had scars like marks on his head to his white right eye "forgive us for coming in such form, we do not wish to disturb you all of our appearances"

Soon, the rest of the hooded figures takes off their hoods as they revealed themselves to have identical scars on their parts of their faces

"I am Ranta Levina Aqart, from the Aqart Forest" the first hooded figure said as he took a step forward, looking to be the leader of the group "forgive of our previous action, we had to make sure that you who are we seek for"

"Aqart Forest? That's nearly a week distance from here" one guard said as Natsu looks to the guard then to the Dark Elf man

"pretty far away from home, aren't you?" Natsu said as Ranta nodded "you wanted to see me? Why?"

"King Lizardius Natsu Dragneel, we've heard of your deeds throughout the land and of your hidden kingdom" Ranta said as he kneels down to Natsu with the rest of his comrades doing the same "we, the Dark Elves of Aqart Forest, are in need of your help"

That's a wrap!

Bye bye
