AN: And here is chapter 3! I know, I have been updating pretty quickly, but hey, what can I say? I have no life xD btw any pairing suggestions? NO NALU! I really don't like the pairing. Not knocking people who do like it, but I'm saying I refuse to do Nalu. I'm also not doing any slash pairings, except maybe Solangelo. Other than that, I am open to anyone being paired with Natsu, if they are an appropriate age. Also, I have purposefully not said anything about when Natsu has arrived. I am still deciding when on the timeline I want him to be around, but I think I might have something. Sorry for the long ass note, now on to the story!
Natsu POV
"...What?"
I couldn't help but feel shock. Complete, and utter shock. I had always had Igneel, and then I had Gramps and Gildarts when he was around. But never have I ever had a mother in my life.
"Look, if you think this is funny, then this is a pretty cruel idea of a joke. So start telling me the truth, before things get violent." My fist lit on fire, getting a look of shock from Hestia.
"I'm telling you the truth, I am your mother, even though I did not become your mother through normal means. I'll explain later." She started to stand up to walk away.
"NO! Your gonna start explaining things to me right NOW!" Before she could put out the fire I opened my mouth and sucked it in, gaining a significant boost for such a small flame.
The women who claimed to be my mother seemed shocked again, before she finally decided to talk, "Very well. I'll tell you. You should sit down and get comfortable."
I kept my eyes on her and nodded, "Yeah, alright. As long as yo-"
"NAAAATSU!" Happy flew into Natsus face, tears streaming down his own face.
"WHERE ARE WE?! WHERE IS EVERYONE?! AND WHERES MY FISH!?"
"I don't know where your damn fish is, get off of me and calm down!"
"WAHHH, I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU EVER AGAIN NATSU!" Happy then flew behind Hestia where he kept up the waterworks and the dramatics.
(AN: Don't get irritated at the dramatics, Happy has always been a bit of a drama queen, especially when fish is involved)
Hestia shook her head with a soft smile on her face. She summoned two piles of raw fish, one pile being samon and the other being mackeral, "FIIIIISH!"
Happy dived right into the mackeral and started to chow down.
I couldn't help but sigh in relief, knowing how Happy could get with his fish, "Thanks for that. He can be a bit irritating when fish are involved."
She chuckled a little bit, "Think nothing of it."
We just sat in an awkward silence for what felt like forever, "So, you gonna start explaining? Or am I gonna have to grab Happy and run?"
The, probably crazy, lady just chuckled, "You don't have to worry about running, I'll explain as much as I can."
"Alright, then start talking. You've put off talking about it enough." I crossed my arms, I stayed tense and unable to relax.
Hestia gave a small sigh, "Alright. It happened when you were just a small child. My friend, Hecate, had asked me for a favor.
"She had asked me if I could go to this place, Fiore in a world called Earthland, and I agreed. Before she told me what I was supposed to do, however, she sent me off to your home. When I first arrived I was irritated at what she had just done, though that irritation melted away when I saw what was happening."
She sighed, a small frown on her face, "I noticed a village. It was burning to the ground. All I could hear was the crackle of the fire as it raged on, devouring the village. No screams or yells of alarm were coming from the village.
"Everyone else had probably been killed already, or they had escaped. I don't know what caused the fire, though whatever did it must have been powerful to do what it did.
"I ran into the village, hoping to find survivors, people that I could hopefully save. Yet as I ran through the village, I had begun to lose hope. Everywhere I looked, there was only fire, ashes, and destruction. I couldn't even find a body. Maybe all the bodies were in the ruins or turned to ash.
"Thats when I found you and your brother. He had an inner darkness, waiting to be unleashed. Not to mention he was extremely powerful. But I didn't have much time to worry about him, because it was then that I noticed he was cradling you. You were injured, covered in burns and bruises.
"You were so small and fragile. Your brother was crying, begging me to help you. So I tried healing you. Yet try as I might, nothing worked. I decided to eventually use my last resort, and seperated a part of my own godly essence. I put that part in you. It healed you, but it also did more. It became a part of you, and it strengthened you. I would've stayed to make sure you were ok, you and your brother. But it was at that moment that Hecate brought me back here.
"A few days later, I realized the full implications of what I had done. I realized I had a son. But I couldn't return. It took Hecate years, with my help, to gather enough power to bring you here. It would've taken twice as long to bring me to you."
I stayed silent for a moment. I brought my hands up to my face and sighed, "Could you explain to me why it would take so long to send you back when it took almost no time to send you to Earthland the first time?"
"Its because, well, the first time was meant to be temporary. To send a god back to another world for as long as they like, whether it was a project of Hecate or not, takes a lot of power. We have been building up enough power to bring you here ever since I first realized what you became to me."
I just stared at her for a moment before I nodded, "Alright. I believe you."
She blinked, "Really? You believe me?"
"Yeah, I do. Now that does not mean that I trust you, yet, exactly. Buuut I see no reason for me not to believe you and to learn to trust you." I gave her my signature grin, showing my fangs only to be tackled in a hug.
Unknown POV
"Hmmmm... so this is why the boy had a natural affinity with fire when I first found him. At least, its a part of the reason why.
"Plus this worlds energy seems to be healing me... I won't have to abandon him, not for a second time. That is a true relief... I wonder if I will be able to being the others here... no matter. That is not my main concern as of now.
"Natsu, my pride and joy, my child, my greatest acomplishment... I can not wait to be reunited with you.
"When I return, I will make sure I repay you for how I have failed you... continue to make me proud, my son. Just wait a little longer.
Third Person POV
Olympus
Zeus, king of the gods, ruler of Olympus, lord of the skies sat on his throne in deep thought. He felt it. Change.
Change was coming. The first time that his instincts told him that change was coming, was right before he and his brothers finally defeated their father and cast his remains into Tartarus.
He felt change was coming. He didn't think it was a bad thing though. While he normally liked to play is safe (He did have many people who counted on him after all) he felt he had no need to worry. Every time he had felt change was to occur, the change had been good.
While that was no gurantee that change would be good this time, Zeus decided he would not let paranoia take over.
He couldn't help but feel that things on Olympus were about to get much more entertaining.
Hestia POV
I released Natsu from my hug and stepped back from him, "I need to speak with my family, to tell them about you. If they find out on their own, it may look like I waa trying to hide you from them. You can guess that it would not help with how they see you."
"Why would I care about what a bunch of strangers think?"
I couldn't help but sigh, "Well first of all, they are your family too. Second of all, I'm a goddess and my family is a family of gods and goddesses. And I don't mean this in a vain way. We are literal immortal beings who hold immense power and govern nature."
"... Huh... guess that blond freak would have a hay day here... I think Chelia would be excited too."
I gave him a look before I decided I would find out later, "Ok, well third of all is, I'm a virgin goddess. Normally the only way for me to have a child safely, would be the normal way. As a maiden goddess, the consequences of no longer being a maiden would be severe. If someone found out about you without me telling them, eventually my family would find out an assume I had broken my vow."
"... How would they punish you...exactly?"
"They... they would probably take you away from me."
I felt a slight fear at the thought of my family killing Natsu because of a simple assumption, what would be considered a "minor" misunderstanding.
I sighed, trying to get those thoughts out of my head, "That is why to prevent that, you, me, and Happy will be going to Olympus to reveal your existence."
Natsu only gave me another fanged grin, "Alright, this place is starting to get me all fired up!"
I had to stop there. If I kept going it was gonna feel way too long, expect another chapter very soon though. Remember to review guys! Also, are you guys ok with Natsu x Lisanna? I'm fine with doing a diff pairing, I just like this one best, peace out!
