"Speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
A few days had passed in Alvarez as Soldiers were fixing the damage upon the castle
Irene was sleeping on a crimson red bed as she softly snores in her sleep
She moans a bit as her body turned to the side to get a better and comfortable position
The morning sunlight pierces through the room and onto Irene's face
Her face squinted from the sunlight as she cracks her eyes open slowly
She reached up her hand to her face, to shield her eyes from the light
"where?" Irene muttered out as she focuses on her surrounding
She sat up as the blanket swayed from her movement
Irene saw that she was in a man's room. Seeing the man's clothing on a chair and the reeking stench of sweat of a man
She then remembered what occurred last night as she stares at her hands
"did i…!?" Irene muttered out as she remembers the scales that re-appeared in her hands
Her eyes widen in shock as she scratches her hands to get rid of the memory
"I'm a human!" Irene shouted to herself as she holds her head to get rid of the memory
"you are" a voice spoke surprising as she turns to the door and saw Natsu standing while leaning to the wall as he crosses his arms
"nice sleep?" Natsu asked as he walks towards the bed
Irene didn't reply as she just holds her hands together while feeling something was different than before
"you must be hungry" Natsu said as he snaps his fingers twice and came out a magic circle that floats up and revealed a bowl of stew bellow it
"eat" Natsu takes the bowl and gave it to Irene
Irene looks at the bowl and reached for it
But her hands were shaking for no reason and she couldn't grasp the bowl
Natsu saw this and sighed "let me" Natsu sat down near the bed with Irene and takes the spoon
He mixed it a little and takes a scoop of the stew and blows it
"say aaahh" Natsu said to Irene as he leans the spoon to her
Irene looks at the spoon up stew and opened her mouth
Her eyes widen in surprise as she could taste the flavour of the stew and the warmth of it
her hands reached towards her mouth with tears falling from her eyes
"i…can t-t-taste!?" Irene muttered out in shock as she swallowed the stew
Natsu smiled before Irene grabbed the bowl from him as she started to eat the stew in a ravenous way
In a few seconds the stew was gone and the bowl and spoon were the only things left
"h-h-how!?" Irene touched her face, her hands and her body to search for the answer
"all that matters, is that you're human now" Natsu said as he takes away the bowl and set it to a table "and will always be"
Irene looks at him in shock as she got out of the bed before falling
Natsu quickly grabs her and carries her back to the bed
"don't try anything yet" Natsu told her as he gently sat her back on the bed "your body needs time to adjust from having the Dragon seed extracted from within you"
"Extracted!?" Irene exclaimed to him as she was about to lunge at him before Natsu holds her back down
"calm yourself first" Natsu said to her as he pushes her back down to the bed "I located the dragon seed within you and extracted it out of your system and completely destroyed it"
Irene looks at him then to her hands as they shake in joy
"you're welcome" Natsu said as he leans away and walks to the front door
"I'm a human! I'm a human!" Irene screamed in joy as she holds her face and body like she was happy with herself
Natsu smiled to the scarlet hair woman as he steps out of the room and closes the door
Zeref and August were standing in the hallway as they were waiting on Natsu who came out of the room on cue
"how did it go?" August asked him and was replied with Natsu nodding
"it worked, the effects of not being able to sleep, taste, insanity, are completely gone" Natsu explained as he walks around with August and Zeref following him
"are there any lasting effects?" Zeref asked his brother
"the power of the dragon is still within her and her age will continue on for years to come" Natsu replied to him
They then made their way in front of the throne room where the rest of the Spriggan 12 were awaiting them
"will this affect her life?" August asked him
"it might" Natsu said in reply as he snaps his fingers twice and the nearby damage of the palace started to disappear and the palace was back like normal "but I'm going to make sure it won't"
Natsu made his way towards his seat with the rest doing the same
"why are you doing this much for her, Uncle?" August asked him as he sat down beside him
"that is but a childish question, August" Natsu replied as his face tattoo glowed red before his eyes glowed red as well "because she …"
The Scarlet hair woman was in joy in having her normal human body back at last as she cried tears of joy to her self
She then touches her face and caresses it while smiling
Irene can feel the warm sensation of the bed and the cool sensation of the breeze in the room
She plops down to the bed and felt the comforting sensation of the pillow
Her mind can feel the drowsy and the sleepiness her face was showing as her eyes fluttered open and closed
Irene then slowly falls asleep on the bed with a comforted smile as she embraces the pillow and the blanket
On Irene's back was the Alvarez's symbol of the Spriggan 12. But something was quite odd as red markings slowly appeared on her back
The markings forms tattoo like dragon wings on the side of the Alvarez symbol, then the bottom side appeared a dragon's tail and talons
And finally, a dragon's head appeared as the jaw surrounds the Alvarez's symbol with a rising dragon symbol appearing on the base of Eileen's neck
"is my queen"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
