What is up everyone? Chapter 2 is up and I know that some of you are asking, or wondering why Sheogorath is being viewed as a crazy but funny kind of guy, is because in my view of him is this: he's funny, unpredictable, sarcastic, a little bit cruel and is down to earth. So I set him up as what I label as a Chaotic-Neutral, which means he's neither good or evil being that brings chaos everywhere he goes. Instead his presence will cause either one in any area he's in. Now onwards! Lets see what madness will Sheogorath bring for the young Salamander of Fairy Tail?

Chapter 2: Here comes the Salamander! Victim #2
Sheogorath POV:
Finally! After 30 mins of getting the clearing to travel to the world of Earthland, I can now begin my travel to search for the little bubblegum haired runt. Now all I have to do is talk to my good old friend, who is big, red lizard named Igneel. I know I shouldn't call him that but is hilarious to see his reaction! "How dare you call me a lizard, you half baked lunatic!" Ahhh, that was a good time indeed. If only I had that on recording, just so I could watch it once in awhile, while I eat a sweet roll, cheese with some delicious red wine.
As I reminisce about that time, I took the opportunity to look around myself and enjoy the scenery. It's peaceful, and I enjoy this as well. What? You actually thought that I don't like this kind of thing? I may be a mad god, but I enjoy the peace and quiet. But I only seek out this kind of thing when I feel like I need it, just like how I couldn't stand that damn obsessive redguard who asked the dragonborn to ruin my vacation. Me and my damn mouth, swearing upon my honor to uphold my promise to take in my clingy redguard back. But I at least got rid of him for some new servants, which is good. If you're wondering if I got rid of him permanently, then no, I did not. I just kicked him out and threw him into another world. Yes, that is correct, I literally kicked him out of my domain, and he fell out of it, and is now in a nice cozy room called an asylum. Ha!
As I laughed out loud at the memory, I didn't notice that my laughter shook the child I was searching for out the tree.
"Ow!" The child shouted in pain, "Who the hell woke me up from my nap!?"
…. Who would've thought the child I was searching for, was sleeping in a tree? Well, it's time for introduction! Gotta make it look awesome, and flashy!
"Hello there young man!" I exclaimed with a smile and my chest puffed out a bit.
"Who are you old man?" The young man said looking at him cautiously.
"I go by the name of Sheogorath! The Mad God of Tamriel," he said vibrantly, "and you have been chosen to become one of my many champions!"
The child looked at me with wide eyes and mouth agape. Ha! Behold my brilliance!
"You're a god!?" The child exclaimed. Shocked at the fact he's looking at one, "if you're a god, then do you know where Igneel is? Please tell me where he is, I've been searching for him for a week!"
….. Eh? Igneel ditched his son? For what reason? And if he did leave, why do I sense that he's around the child? Its faint, but I can feel his power lingering around this kid.
"Hmmm….." I said as I try to figure out this predicament.
The child was waiting for me to answer him, but right now I was trying to trace Igneels power, but from what I can tell, Igneel somehow find a way to seal himself in the young man. I know for sure that Igneel had no such knowledge, but it has been nearly 450 years ago, so it's possible that he has figured out a way to seal himself inside the young man. Oh well, meeting up with Igneel will have to be put on hold for now, but focus on bringing him into my domain and get him some food.
But what am I going to tell him about Igneel's disappearance?
"Well…," I said with a pause, "I should perhaps tell you that your father and I knew each other. Before you say anything, yes I know where he is, and no I can't tell you, because he's on a very important mission. Do I know what his mission is? No, I don't."
"Awww, why not mister?" The young man whined.
"It's quite obvious," I said, "if I told you where he is, you're going to try to find him and try help him out. I'll be very honest with you kid, you're not strong enough to help him out."
"But I am plenty strong!" The boy exclaimed, "I was able to take down a pig twice as big as me!"
"But can you beat something, or someone as strong as your dad?" I questioned.
"No one is as strong as Igneel!" The boy shouted, "Igneel is the strongest dragon in all of Earthland!"
"You might be right," I said, "but do you have the strength to help him beat anyone who could possibly give Igneel a tough time?"
"Well…. no," The boy trailed off, "but I'll get there! I know it!"
"Heh, good answer," I said, "tell me, do you want to become strong?"
"Of course!" He exclaimed.
"Good answer!" I said with a smile, "now let's go! I shall give you the opportunity to become one of the best in Earthland!'
With a swipe of my hand, I opened up a portal. As I did so, I beckoned for him to follow me through it.
"Oh quick question, what is your name? I completely forgot to ask you that." I said smiling sheepishly.
"My name is Natsu!" The boy named Natsu said with a smile, "don't you forget it!"
And with that, the both of us went through the portal. Leaving Earthland for the journey ahead of us.
Natsu POV:
This is so awesome! I thought to myself. The mansion that I stood in front of is around as tall is Igneel when he was standing on his back feet. The mansion had a color that is darker than Igneels scales, there are vines with flowers clinging onto the walls, the garden in front of it had different colors of fruit and vegetable, a small pond for fish, and a field for the chicken, pig and cows too. It is so cool!
I didn't realize that I was getting really excited, until 'Crazy Sheo' laughed. But I can't help myself at seeing how awesome this place is! It looks so comfortable, if only Igneel could be here with me to see this place. Wait, 'Crazy Sheo' said he knows Igneel, so Igneel knew this place! Why didn't he take me to this place?
"Come on now Natsu!" Sheogorath said with a bit of laughter, "you can look around the place, after I show you your new bedroom. Plus, I'm going to have you meet one of your new party member and my secretary, okay?"
"You got Crazy Sheo!" I said excitedly.
I can't wait to meet the guys! This is going to be awesome!
Gen Ryuuzaki POV:
"... Is it just me, or do you also sense someone?" I said out loud as I pan fry my steak.
"How odd," Mirajane said with surprise, "you can sense the mad god? That is impressive."
"Wait, that lunatic is actually here?" I said with surprise. I honestly did not expect my superstition to be any accurate, after all, chances of my senses being right were sometimes a 1 out of 4.
"Indeed he is," the woman replied, "and from what I can tell, he has also brought in another member for your journey ahead."
I couldn't myself but sigh at being told that there was another person, other than myself, here. I can't but feel upset at the fact that I was thrown into his domain, and he decides to bring this person along without doing the samething.
As I prepare to set my meal down onto the table, the kitchen door swung wide open showing a little kid, who had brown eyes, bubble gum pink hair, and a scarf that has scale like patterns on it.
'Holy shit bucket,' I thought to myself. There is no way that this kid is who I think he is. Perhaps if I ask him for his name, my suspicion would be proven wrong.
"Oh, hello there, what's your name?" I said with a smile on my face. 'Please don't be Natsu Dragneel, please.'
"Hi there! My name is Natsu! What's your name mister?" Natsu said with a smile.
….. You gotta be kidding me. This kid is actually Natsu, and a 10 year old at that! Ugh, I just hope that the gods and goddesses that they approve this.
"Well," I said with little pep in my voice, "are you hungry by any chance? We were about to have Beef Steak, Mashed Potatoes and steamed greens. I can make you some."
"Oh yeah, definitely!" Natsu said with eagerness, "give me a big juicy steak! And what is mashed potatoes? I'll have a little bit of vegetables to, cause Igneel said that I should eat it to grow be big and strong!"
"Alright," I said, "and as to what is a Mashed Potato, it's vegetable that becomes creamy if steam, boil and bake. You can have the one on the table, I'll start working on my share. Just tell me if you want seconds, okay?"
"Okay!" He said happily.
"Hahahahaha! Excellent! You two are getting along so well, that it's making me all happy!" Sheogorath exclaimed with joy, "But of course, I am on a tight schedule, thus I can't stay until I get the final member for this epic crusade! Okay, tata!"
With his farewell, Sheogorath opened up a portal on the reflective surface of his stainless steel refrigerator and jumped right into it. No more than a second later, did the portal close up, leaving nothing behind but a man, a woman and a child bearing witness to it.
In all honesty, most people would probably have a panic attack when they're abducted by a mad god, meeting his secretary/advisor, who is probably a demi-god or divine spirit, and meeting a fictional character who is raised by no ordinary fire dragon, but thee Fire Dragon King, Igneel.
Overall, this could have caused anyone go crazy, and I'm surprised that I haven't gone insane, or maybe I'm not normal. Well, I never did like being normal, since I consider such things boring. Maybe it will turn out to be the thing I just need; an adventure that will bring in a good amount of fun, and laughter.
