Welcome to my first fanfiction. I am searching for a beta, so if any of you want to read these chapters before they go out, hit me up!
Unknown wooded location:
A young-looking man with lightly tousled black hair walked through a forest, dressed in black with a white sash across his torso. In his arms was a small bundle of white cloth, with a pink tuft covering the top of a young child's head at one end. As he walked, he looked at his young brother with nothing but love, and a feeling of deep regret. At the base of a mountain, the man shouted, begging the attention of some unseen third party.
From high up on the hill flew a massive winged creature, covered in crimson scales, with small golden slits for pupils. This was the Dragon King Igneel.
"What do you want, wizard," said the beast.
"Do you know who this is in my arms" replied the man.
"I am aware of your tinkerings, yes." Said the dragon.
"Please, I beg of you, if you know who he is, then you know of my curse. I want him to end it. Please give him the power to do so, and in one fell swoop both of our enemies will perish, my curse, and the black winged monster." The man pleaded, having fallen to his knees.
"Does he know what he is" inquired Igneel.
"Yes, he will remember me, and everything that has happened in his life, but those memories are bound. You can unbind them when you see fit."
"what is his name, his true name, not that of his book."
"Natsu. Natsu Dragneel."
"Fine," answered Igneel, stooping his head to gingerly pick up the child's wrapping in his teeth before taking wing to a cave nearby.
Timeskip:
The child has grown, his strength almost surpassing his adopted fathers in fire magic, even though he is still such a young boy. He awakes to look out the cave in which they live, and sees a beautiful sunrise cresting over the trees, and reflecting in the nearby lake. His father has gone hunting, as per usual in the early mornings, as humans need much more sleep than dragons, even if Natsu has trained to sleep very little.
Upon his fathers return, he tells his son "I have taught you all of the magics I know, my son. Today we shall rest and tomorrow you shall go begin your next training. Would you like to go visit your sister now?"
"WENDY! I miss little sissy so much, I cant wait to talk to her again!" enthusiastically cried Natsu, knowing that they were not biologically related, but as close as brother and sisters can be.
"Then let us race there. Three… Two… One… GO!" shouted the massive dragon, enjoying the small but pleasant moments that really made him feel like a father. Of course, he felt both pride and disappointment in himself when he was trounced in the race by his son, having massive wings of fire sprouting from his back, unlike the organic ones on Igneels.
"I beat you daddy! You owe me a fish" exclaimed Natsu once his father arrived, while bouncing up and down in glee.
"Natsu, Igneel, Is that you?" said a voice from nearby. As its source was revealed, it was shown to be a beautiful white, almost ethereal dragon named Grandeenay.
"BROTHERRRR!" this shout came from a very, very small child with long blue hair running at incredible speeds into her brothers waiting arms.
"I missed you too Wendy" he said clutching her close. The two spent the whole day together, playing, fishing and just being kids together. As night fell and their respective parents told them it was time to go, Natsu flew back home after carrying an exhausted Wendy back to her mother. Once he arrived, Igneel gave him the schedule for the remainder of the time they would have together, and all the other dragons he would be training with.
Timeskip to July 7, 777:
"IGNEEL, WHERE ARE YOU?!" shouted Natsu, having spent the past week back with his father, as he was finished with his training, and needed his memories unblocked. They spent the week going over what Natsu was remembering and how to handle his now insane magical capabilities. Looking in the back of the cave, he found a chest his father had left for him, including clothes, a silver necklace, and a letter.
"My beloved son,
You are probably unsure of what has happened, and possibly doubting my love for you. Never doubt that you are my son and I love you more than you will ever know. I have had to leave, as have the other dragons. Please help Wendy, she will be unsure of what is happening, and is probably scared. The necklace once belonged to your sister in law. See the world, make friends, protect those friends, and never forget that no matter what, you are the dragon Prince, and you are loved. I will see you again, but I do not know when. I know you probably are going to try to attempt your missions right away. Do not do this. Be happy, your quarries will come to you.
Love,
Your father,
Igneel"
Natsu flew at top speed to Grandeenays grove, to find a frenzied Wendy. After explaining the situation, the two of them decided to set out in search of adventure. At some point in their walk, Wendy got tired, and Natsu had to carry her, which she enjoyed wholeheartedly. He made her feel safe like no one other than Grandeenay could.
As the sun began to set, they made camp for the night, and cuddled up next to eachother so she could use his body heat.
*CRASH*
A scream was heard in the distance.
"Wendy, I need you to run into those trees and hide. I will come find you. Do not let yourself be seen" Natsu said with a look in his eyes like he was ready to kill. He ran to a clearing a few hundred meters away to see a village on fire, being attacked by masked bandits. One man with orange, slicked back hair was stood alone defending against hundreds of assailents. Blood and bodies could be seen strewn across the road, with the orange man clearly only delaying the attackers so the people of the village could escape.
As natsu approached, he became surrounded in a torrent of dark fire. "Help the injured, old man. Leave this to me" he said as he passed the aging crash mage, who looked at the young boy of eleven, at first certain the boy had no chance but as he began to see more, the swirling flames were simply his ambient magic, he had yet to make a small attempt at active magic.
"Okay kid, find me when this is over" the man said nervously as he ran to free trapped villagers.
Natsu waited for the bandits to be near him before spitting out the words "on your knees", raising his hand slightly with his palm face up, as all two hundred of the assailents were forced to comply, as if some weight had been forced on their backs. They stared in fear at the 11 year old boy whos eyes were completely devoid of emotion save anger. "Who is your leader" he said, and one man in the back replied that he was. Natsu asked the masked man why they were attacking this innocent village, to which the masked man replied that they wanted money and women. Natsu spat on his face before walking away. As he reached a few hundred meters away from them, he raised his right hand to a fist as he said "cut," and simultaneously, all 200 bandits necks were severed.
Natsu walked towards the watching orange haired man, and told him he had to go get his sister, who was still hiding. As Natsu returned with Wendy, covering her eyes the whole time, he asked the man what else needed to be done.
"Not much, seems like you took care of all of that eh? What are you doing around these parts anyways?" said the man, who had identified himself as "Gildarts." Natsu told him that they recently set out on their own with the instructions to find the guild formed by Mavis Vermillion, which startled Gildarts, as it was not hugely well known that Mavis was the founder.
"Well, that guild is called fairy tail, and it's the guild I belong to. I used to be called the Ace of Fairy Tail, but it seems like you might bump me off that pedestal, eh? Why don't you come back and talk to the master with me. He is waiting a few towns over for me to deal with this group." Natsu and wendy agreed, although wendy wasn't sure why they wanted someone named "Mavis," as she was not privy to the details of natsus past.
As they approached the town in which the Guildmaster was waiting, they began to talk of magic. Gildarts asked what magic natsu used, and Natsu said that wendy uses sky dragon magic. "But what about you, that was some crazy stuff you did back there?"
"lets just say I use a number of magics, my primary being fire dragon slayer magic, what about you?" inquired the pinkette.
"I use Crash magic, its incredibly destructive, but incredibly powerful." Answered gildarts.
"Oh, don't I know it." Natsu said with a hearty chuckle. He raised his hand only enough to gesture at a tree, which promptly exploded into cubes, having been completely deconstructed.
To say Gildarts was in awe would be a massive understatement. He had trained longer than this kid had been alive to be able to use crash magic, and yet Natsus was cleaner, and clearly more powerful. Gildarts then Politely asked wendy about her magic, to which she meekly replied that she had healed the villagers earlier, but was nowhere near as strong as her big brother. This lead to Gildarts asking how they are siblings if they have such different hair colors. Natsu explained that they were raised by dragons (a fact Gildarts normally would refute, but having seen the boys strength, there was almost no doubt in his mind) and were raised kind of as siblings, even if they didn't technically share parents.
As they reached their destination, a small Café in a large town a few miles from the village natsu had saved, Gildarts introduced them to the Makarov.
"Gildarts tells me you two are looking to join Fairy tail, is that right?" he said jovially.
"I understand that is the guild that was started by Mavis Vermillion, so yes. I need to speak with her."
Makarov was dumbfounded, as he had never had such a strange request in his life. Natsus elaboration of "I need to go to her guild, then I will be able to speak with her," left him in such a state of confusion, as the aged guildmaster knew that she could be contacted on Tenrou Island, but to do so anywhere else was impossible.
"well, we can talk about that when we get there. Anyways, Gildarts tells me you know a few different types of magic, can you show us? Ive rarely met someone who can use more than one?" commented the master, to which natsu replied "How about it wendy, we head off into the woods and show him how fun our magics can be?"
"Yay I love watching big brother use his magic. Some of it is so pretty!" came the energetic reply. Natsu told Makarov that they would need to go to the woods for this. Makarov suggested they start walking to the guild, and there were plenty of woods along the way, as Magnolia is close enough to not need to take a train.
Once they reached a large isolated area, natsu told the other three that they should back up. They went to what they thought was a safe distance, before wendy kept moving them back.
"My first magic is this, telepathy" natsu said directly into their heads. "I hope you don't mind, but I wont be showing you all of them, just a few, as it would take a while." Natsu then said "two, fire dragon slaying magic" and erupted in flames, before sending fireworks up in the air to make Wendy happy. He then grew wings of flame and flew up into the air before saying "three, crash dragon magic" and giving an incredible display of his high level crash magic. Makarov looked at gildarts, who replied "hes better at crash than me, and it is just a tertiary magic for him…"
"Four, lightning dragon slayer"
"five, ice dragon slayer"
"six, re-quip"
"seven gravity manipulation"
"eight, teleportation" he said from behind them. "that's the ones ill go through now," he said after he had given a thurough demonstration of each of the magics. The three viewers each had different reactions. Wendy was clapping, as Natsu had shown some of her favourite tricks. Gildarts had his jaw on the floor astonished at what had just occurred. Makarov was rolling on the ground screaming "MY MONEY, MY MONEYYYY."
By the time the audience had recuperated from that, knowing it was only a fraction of the boys power, yet he could easily have beaten the two older mages, They set off to magnolia, chatting amicably along the way. They learned that natsu was a surprisingly laid back guy, who had a bit of a mouth on him, and wendy was a very very shy child who looked up to her big brother like he was a god among mortals.
By the time they reached the city, night had fallen, and gildarts offered to let the duo stay with him for the night, before going to meet everyone (and mavis) the next morning. Makarov offered to meet them before they entered the guild as well, to introduce them and give his official blessing to join (as well as see what he meant with mavis).
The next morning, natsu woke early, no later than 4:00, to start his routine consisting of running for a few miles, doing a few thousand push ups and crunches, and, when time and space allowed, blowing off some steam with some boulders or a mountaintop. After he finished that, he returned to Gildarts' house to find the crash mage already awake, and looking for him. Natsu apologized and said he always does the morning routine, and he didn't even think someone would be looking for him, because igneel and the others just expected it.
Thee trio met up with Makarov, and headed for the guild at around midday, after a tour of magnolia.
"Are you ready to meet your new family?" asked the guildmaster, looking at a nervous Wendy and excited natsu.
"I hope they like me…" wendy responded meekly, while natsu kicked in the door. The scene he saw was one of utter chaos. A redhead in armor was in the middle of a massive fight with a white haired goth, and the two were causing great amounts of damage to the guild. Makarov began crying anime tears at the thought of his money, while Gildarts looked at natsu with a smirk, and beckoned the boy to "give the master a bit of relief for once."
Natsu rolled his eyes at this, but slowly walked into where the S class mages were about to collide, and held up a hand towards each of them. As he was walking, the members of the guild were all attempting to convince the eleven year old boy that what he was doing is suicide, but he walked on. A great cloud of dust was thrown up from the impact, and as it settled, the whole guild saw an unharmed and laughing pinkette and two very battered S class mages.
A young girl who looked to be about natsu's age ran up to him and started asking him a million friendly questions after introducing herself as Lisanna Strauss, the goth's sister. She walked him around the guild, introduced him to her brother (a REAL MAN), cana alberona, and Levy Mcgarden, as well as a few others. During her tour, Natsu was randomly attacked by a boy screaming "ICE MAKE, ARROWS" which melted by the time they got within a meter of him. After the attack, natsu waved a hand across his body, and Grey suddenly became encased in a block of ice, having only two breathing holes for his nose. "If youre good, ill let you out in a bit," natsu chuckled.
After getting his guild stamp from Lisanna, he walked up to the adults who had brought him here, who were drinking at the bar. "Gramps, I need to get into the basement, you should come, I have some things to tell you, and theres someone you should meet. Wendy, can you stay with lisanna, im sure she can take care of you for a bit right?" he said smiling and ruffling wendys hair, before being lead by the old man to the bottom basement. Where people usually aren't allowed, but he certainly
Well, that's chapter one, I hope you enjoyed! Leave a review or something so I know what to work on, and it gives me a bit of inspiration to keep going. I will hopefully get some romance in here, but no guarantee. I also would totally put lemons In some places, but honestly im absolute shit at writing them, so yeah there is that.
