Lucky POV
"I'm warm." I thought as I woke up for the first time since I freed myself from my prison. I lifted my head and let out a small yawn. I noticed that I was no longer wrapped around the warm thing I was when I went to sleep. Instead, I was placed on something warm and was slowly moving up and down as if they were breathing. I opened my eyes and looked down at what I'm sleeping on. It was this little boy with spiky pink hair and a white scarf that looked like my skin.
Curious, I looked up and saw that I was in a room made of wood and stones, it was rather cluttered and had random weights scattered around. I saw a slight movement next to me and saw a little furry blue blob shift next to me. I tilted my head to see it from a different angle, only to see that it was still a little ball. So I shifted closer to smell it. It smelled weird and I'm not sure what it was, but I had a bit of trouble smelling over the smell of the one we were sleeping on.
Judging by the fact that we were sleeping together, they must be my family. I nod at the fact, seems to be about right. As a family they must be hungry when they wake up, I must get some for them. I look over the edge of the thing we are sleeping on to see that there is a little drop there, I look at my back to see my wings. I know they are supposed to help with something.
Maybe that something is getting down. I stretch them out to see that they are quite wide. I look down at the floor and wiggle around until I'm in a good jumping position. I twitch my tail behind me and jump. I keep my wings out, though it takes a bit of struggling to keep my self from tipping over. I hit the floor with a low thump and roll a bit, which is quickly stopped by a random weight.
I look at it and hiss as if it were at fault. Shaking it off I look around to see if there is anything worth eating. Not seeing anything, worthy, I make my way to a crack in the door and look outside. I see a dirt trail and a bunch of trees outside. I take a sniff and catch the scent of the forest. It smells awesome out here and I feel my stomach grumble from the smell.
I walk out and see a small stick laying on the ground a few feet away. I walk up to it and think "Well I can't very well find more to feed them on an empty stomach." So with that, I give it one last look before gobbling it up. It tastes great as I eat it, seeing as it is the only thing I have ever eaten. I look up after finishing my meal to see another stick not too far away. I run-up to it and grab it in my mouth, and start dragging it back to the hut. Once I get it to the door I pause to push it open more to make room.
Afterward, I drag it to the floor by where the others are sleeping. I look at it and then to the others and wonder, "Is this going to be enough for them both?" I decide that it is not and go back outside to find more. I look around and don't see any more sticks. I walk along the path looking for more I see a decently sized one a little ways off.
I struggle a bit to drag it back as it is about four times the size of my body. About halfway there I hear some footsteps and I see a little girl walk up, she has short white hair, and is wearing a dress. She sees me trying to drag the stick, and lets out a giggle. I stare at her a bit wary of who she is, but as I catch her smell I can smell the one from the hut on her. I relax at smelling it as it meant she is a friend.
Now that I know she means no harm, I start to drag the stick back to the hut. "Do you need help with that?" I hear her ask. I look back up to her and start to nod. She giggles again and picks up part of the stick and starts to drag it with ease. I follow along feeling proud that I have her doing the work for me. I grab another small stick on the way back so I have something to nibble on.
The entire time the girl is humming happily and occasionally glancing down at me. When she sees me with the new stick in my mouth, she lets out another giggle. Eventually, we get back and get inside, the two are both still asleep and I see that the girl put down her stick next to the one already here. I see that she knows what she is doing so I climb up the nearby tree growing in the wall. I have a bit of trouble getting there and I hear the girl giggle again as I assume she is watching me.
I get comfortable on a branch and start to nibble on my stick. "Natsu! Wake up, its almost past noon!" She yelled into his ear as she picked the blue ball so it would not be flung away when he inevitably freak out about the loud noise in his ear. I winced a bit as it was loud for me too. He gets up out of bed and yells "I'm awake, don't call for Erza." I wince again as he is super loud too. When he gets up he trips on the sticks I left for them and falls on his face.
I snicker at the sight. he gets up and looks down at what he tripped on and said: "Who put these sticks here?" I let out a little noise to let him know that I had and started to nibble on the stick I had. At this point, the little blue ball finally woke up and stretched. It looked up and said "Aye" while lifting a paw in the air.
The girl looked at me than the sticks again and said: "I think Lucky got these for you guys to eat." Deciding to try something I let out an "Aye" of my own. This caused the girl to laugh again. I then thought back to what she had said and let out a "Lucky." testing the word out for myself. Natsu grinned at that and said, "Yeah that's your name!" I nodded and said "Name, Lucky." This caused both kids to smile even larger and Natsu said: "Let's go to the guild!"
I tilted my head at that, wondering what a guild is. Natsu walked over to where my branch is and picked me up. I quickly wiggled under his scarf again as I had done so when I first met him. Slowly he and the girl still holding the cat, who had fallen back asleep at this point, left the hut. I pop my head over the scarf to only my head is visible and look out at the scenery passing us by as the two kids walked.
I could hear them talking, I could even feel the vibrations of Natsu talking, but I was more focused on the feeling of the sun on my head and the warmth surrounding me. Soon we were in a place with more houses and people milling about. I tuck my head into the scarf because I could see people look at me as we walked by. After a few more minutes of walking it seems like we got to this Guild they had mentioned. They threw open the doors and Natsu Yelled: "We're back!" I winced again as it was right next to my ear.
This seemed to encourage more yells from everyone inside. Eventually, I could hear someone approach "So I see happy, but where is Lucky, you haven't lost her yet have you?" a female voice asked. Another one piped in before Natsu could respond "He probably ate it in his sleep." I didn't like the tone of the second female so I popped my head up and hissed at the girl.
She had long white hair and was wearing skimpy clothes. The other girl who had spoken first said: "See even Lucky doesn't like you, maybe you should buzz off." This caused the two to get into a fight. From how everyone seemed to react, this was a normal thing, so I just ignored it.
From one of the nearby counters, an old man called over "Natsu, Lisanna, come here for a second." This grabbed my attention as I now had a name for the girl that has been with us for a while now. The two walked up to the counter and I looked at the old man's hat. It was weird looking, but then again, I don't have a frame of reference for normal clothes.
"Look I know you might not like it, but we have to keep Lucky a secret." the old man said while he took a drink. This did not sit well with Natsu as he exploded "But why old man? I can finally prove to everyone that dragons are real and that I was raised by one!" this caused the old man to sigh and look down. "I know you want to prove yourself Natsu, but if word gets out that we have a dragon, people will want to have it for themselves and try to take her. And we don't even know what the Council will do if they get word of her."
Natsu seemed to get even more fired up at that. "Then I'll protect her, no one will take her from me!" The old man had his hand grow to a size that is too large and hit Natsu in the head. Seeing this coming and the subsequent faceplant onto the floor, I jumped from his scarf and 'glided' to the floor. the landing was much the same as it had been as the first time I had tried.
Only instead of hitting a weight, I rolled into someone's foot. Before I could recover, I was picked by that person. They held me up to their eye level. I could see that the one holding me is a blonde with a scar going across one of their eyes, but didn't seem to affect their vision. He looked at me suspiciously. "So you are a dragon huh." He said. I tilted my head at him and nodded, despite not knowing what he is talking about.
I sniffed him, and while not smelling as strongly as Natsu, he still smelled kind of like him, so I put him under the family category and made a mental note to get him a stick some time. He snorted and put me back down onto the counter. So I ran up to the old man that was sitting on it and looked at the stick he was holding. I tilted my head at it and gave it a sniff. It smelled interesting. "I'm sure he won't mind a little nibble." I nodded to myself before leaning down to the bottom of the staff and biting down.
I broke off the end and chewed on it savoring the flavor, it was even better than the one I ate earlier. Suddenly everything went quiet and as I looked around I could see everyone looking at me. I finished chewing on the wood and swallowed. I tilted my head at them wondering what caused them to go quiet. Suddenly the old man laughed from next to me. The sudden noise startled me. I looked at him and he said: "Well at least we know what kind of dragon she is."
His proclamation caused the rest to burst out into laughter. The old man turned back to Natsu and Lisanna and said: "It would probably be best if she stayed here where she could be kept a better eye on." Natsu seemed like he was going to retort, but was silenced by the old man's glare. So instead he pouted and nodded. "I'll still get to see her, right?" The man nodded "yes, she will stay at the guild, but she is free to go and visit you when she feels like."
And so started my life as a Fairy Tail dragon. I was eventually strong enough to make tables and chairs to replace the ones broken in fights. And before long I was one of the strongest in the guild, despite my age. But then again this is Fairy Tail and trouble is always around the corner.
