Chapter 16: The World of Dragons
The shadow of the moon begins to cast ever so slowly over the land. "It has begun." Zirconis tells the group as he looks ups to the sun as it begins to blocked by the moon. "You youngsters concentrate your magic. Give it your name, and the dragon who raised you." He gives the directions to the five dragon slayer. Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting and Rogue place their right hand of the pedistal, with their exceed partners on their shoulders, each very curious about the outcome. Natsu closes hihs eyes. "I am Natsu Dragneel. The Dragon who trained me is the Fire Dragon Igneel." Natsu's hand activate a reddish orange color for the magic circle of his power. Gajeel copies Natsu's posture. "My name is Gajeel Redfox, the Iron Dragon Slayer. I've been raised by the Iron Dragon Metalicana." His hand brings out a silvery green color magic circle around his hand. Wendy closes her eyes before taking a deep breath. "I am Wendy Marvell, the Sky Dragon. I inherited my Sky Dragon Magic from Grandeeney." Her magic creates a whitish blue magic city from the palm of her hand. Sting opens his eyes. "I am Sting Eucliffe, the White Dragon Slayer. I was once trained by the White Dragon, Weisslogia." He concentrates his magic to create a magic circle of pure white. All that's left is Rogue. "I'm Sting Cheney, the Shadow Dragon Slayer. I got my Shadow Dragon Slayer magic from the Shadow Dragon, Skiadrum." Rogue opens his hand to create a purplish black magic circle of Shadow Dragon magic. The moon's shadow completely covers the ruins. The magic circles of each dragon slayer combine their powers to turn into a more of a golden color. With such brightnest, the corona of the sun appearance shines down onto the group. Within seconds the light disappears, along the groups, along with Lucy and Gray. Zirconis smiles, "Good luck youngsters." He prays as he disappears as well.
The bright light surronds the group as it brings them to an unknown place. Lucy clungs onto Natsu, fearing that she might fall out. Gray stays calm as he doesn't want to get too touchy to the other wizards. A few seconds later the bright light has taken them and lands softly on to the groud of the new world. The light completely dies down so that they could see. What lies in front of them is nothing that none of them has ever seen before. They look around to see that the new world looks like Earthland, but in a different scenerio. There are mountains, rivers, forests, and everything in between. "Whoa. I never would have expected to come to a place like this." Natsu coments first. Lucy lets go of Natsu, knowing it's safe. "Yeah, but I was hoping that it'd be more intense because of the dragons." She tells him in an uneasy voice.
Before anyone could say anything else, a huge shadow flies over them. Its power creates a gust of wind that blows the group, but they keep their stands so that they wouldn't get blown away. Rogue looks up to see the dragon that flew over them. "Do you think is Skiadrum?" Sting asks his partner. Frosche shakes in fear. Never in his life has he ever seen such a creature of majestic, and power. Rogue rubs his little friend's head. "Don't worry, Frosche. I'm here." He comforts him in a gentle voice. Frosche nods back, calming down. "And no that wasn't Skiadrum." Rogue answers Sting's earlier dragon. Lector came up with an idea. "What about you Sting? Can you smell Weisslogia anywhere?" He asks Sting curiously.
Sting sniffs a couple of times. He memorized his dragon's scent so it shouldn't be that hard to find him. He frowns in a disappointment. "No." He tells Lector. Wendy touches the ground of soft grass. "Strange, I can feel a lot of dragon slayer magic all over us. Maybe that's why it's hard to pinpoint them." She explains to Sting. Following the advice from Wendy, Natsu places his hand onto the grass as well. "Yeah, just touching the grass is only the tip of the iceberg of it. Well, we might as walk around until we find one." He tells them as he runs off. "Hey, get back here, Natu. We don't know what's out there." Gray shouts as he chanses the fire breather.
Pantherlily crosses his arms, "Salamander is too dense to think straight." He tells Gajeel. Gajeel chuckles. "No doubt about, but you have to admire his spirit though." He speaks back as the group begin to walk in the direction that Natsu took before them. Wendy hold Carla in her arms. "You seem nervous, child. What's wrong?" She asks her sky dragon slayer friend. Wendy looks up ahead. "It's just that, there's no telling what's on the other side of the path. That one dragon just passed by, not even noticing any of us." Wendy tells Carla in concern. Gajeel comes up to her. "There's nothing to worry about. We all feel that way. We all come to this new world that we don't even have a clue about so we need to be on guard for what might happen." He cheers her. Wendy nods with a smile. Sting and Rogue feel the same way. There's no telling about what this world is capable of.
After a few minutes later, Natsu comes up to a cliff. He widens his onyx eyes unlike before. "Um guys. Come take a look at this." He tells his group as they come closer to overlook the cliff. Like Natsu they all widen their eyes as well. Just what is it that made them widen their eyes? Beyond the cliff's edge is a village of dragons. But not just any dragons, it's the same dragons that raised the five dragon slayers. "We found them." Natsu sniffles his nose. At long last he found his foster father.
A/N. Hey my fellow readers. Sorry it's been awhile since I wrote my last chapter. I was down with the stomach bug that I couldn't write at the time being. But now I'm back and I assure you that I update at a faster rate.
