Chapter 7: Natsu's Challenge

(-Arion's PoV-)

Diary,

I'm not super entirely sure how to write this. I never had a diary before. They didn't all them in cells for fear of attempted escape.

Anyway, I suppose that i have been in Fairy Tail for about a year now. I finally got the hang of this whole 'acting human' thing. I've made many friends mostly between the slayers and my team, Team Natsu. The slayers have become my family. I know i was hesitant at first with the whole almost-killing-Natsu-thing. They aren't that bad actually. Well except Gajeel who's breath always smell like rusty old metal. And...Natsu who is always burning down my forest hut. After a while Lucy just invited me to live with her fore fear that i might suffer death by idiot. Wendy's okay though... I love them to death despite their faults. Even with that being said they can't know the truth.

...Uhm Juvia finally forgave me for insulting her precious Gray-sama. The only down side is that now she's stuck on me like glue to make sure that I'm not trying anything with him.

Speaking of Ice Boy, I'm really close with him too. He's probably my best friend and i think i might be-

"ARI! Where are you I wanna fight you now!" I heard Natsu call for me.

"I busy!"

He ran into the room quicker than Jet ever could. "But you promised!" He began to whine but something caught his attention. "Hey Ari. Are you writing in a diary?"

"...Uh...no. Its just a...uh um-" before I could finish the book was snatched from my hands. "Hey! Wait! Give that back, you brat."

He read the page "-the truth? The truth about what?"

"It isn't your concern." I reach for the book only for Natsu to move it abruptly causing me to fall face first onto the floor.

He reads on some more "What's this about Gray? You might be what-?"

"NothingNothingNothing! Gimme that Pyro!" I yelled will hitting him in the back of head with my fist.

"Ow hey. Hey! I got it?"

"Got What? A death wish?"

"Arion Silver! I challenge you to a battle! If I win you tell me what you were talkin' about in your diary."

"And if I win?"

"I wont bother you for two weeks"

"Hmm. Two weeks without Natsu. Alright that sounds promising. You're on at kid. Now get out so I can change my clothes. I'll see you in ten."

When Natsu left, I went over to my drawer in Lucy's dresser. I quickly change from my pajamas an into a golden high necked sleeveless shirt with faux dragon scales and white trim on neck and arms. I also grabbed a pair of baggy tan colored pants that i tucked into a pair of brown knee high combat boots. since Im going to fight today, I suppose i should contain all of my hair. I brush my hair and put it into a large braid collet with a white band, long midnight blue bang framing my face. I glance at Lucy's clock. Three minutes left, I should probably get going.

I make my way to the guild hall, where I promised to fight Natsu. When I got there, everyone was already riled up about this fight.

"I'm all fired up!" He says.

"All right Lets get this over with, Pyro"

"All Right! Fire Dragon's ROOOOAAAAR!" A funnel of his fire came rushing at me. Child's play. I simply step to the side and the fire hits the walls of the guild.

"That all you got kid? If it is then I'm going home." Awe and shock spread on the faces of the guild members.

"Fire Dragon's Talon" Dodge. "Wing Attack" Dodge "Iron Fist! Claw! Flame Elbow! Sword Horn?"

"Have you had enough yet?"

"Not yet!" He says, panting.

"Well we should take this outside before master comes back and murders us for destroying the hall. I even give you to regain your lost magic. Meet in the forest In twenty minutes"

~20 minutes later in the forest~

I sat on a branch in the forest waiting.

Are you really prepared to tell them the truth?

No

Then why?

Why not? They're my friends, are they not? so why shouldn't I trust them?

"Alright Silver, I'm ready!" Natsu approached me with Gray, Erza, Lucy and the slayers in tow.

"Okay Dragneel. What's with the entourage?"

"I just figure that they'd want to know your secret too" He laughed before charging at me with an easily dodged attack. "Iron fist!" What?

"Arion!" I heard Gray call. Pfft, always worrying.

"No need to worry, Gray. I'm just playing around." I flash him a wicked smile and charge at Natsu. We go at it for awhile until I started to get bored of the back and forth. "Alright kid. I'm bored of this so let's end it."

"I was just about to say the same thing. Fire Dragon's..."

"Water Dragon's..."

"ROOOOOAAAAAR!" Our magic clashes at the same time. The pressure of Natsu's flame was strong but i managed to overpower him.

"You wanted to know my secret, yes? Well its all been a lie and I'm sorry."

"A-a lie? What are talking about?" Gajeel questioned me.

"I had told you that i was a dragon slayer when first met well that isn't entirely true. I'm actually a full blooded dragon or rather the princess of the dragons."

"You what?"

"The whole time?"

"I'm sorry that I deceived you Wendy, Gajeel."

"Did you all know?" No one answered, they just awkwardly stared around the forest. "Answer me! Did You all know?"

"Yeah, we knew." answers Gray.

"Gajeel, We have known from day one." Erza adds.

"Well not the princess part but..."Lucy states

"Aye"

Gajeel's anger shook the ground.

"If you are going to be angry, be angry when I tell you the truth to my lie."

"What? there's more?"

"Natsu, you don't know this so listen up." I took a deep breathe. "I know where your parents are."
