Beware of the Dangers

Lucy Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 1 month and 3 weeks later*

It was around noon when we finally got to our stop. "This our stop," Draco said and we shuffled off a train.

"Thanks for motion sickness meds," Emiko said as we got off the train and our way throw a town called Kerria Town. It was market was the main street which lead from the train station to the back edge of the town which were mountains they weren't exactly safe to be on were.

"So all we got to do is climb up this mountain's peek," Tatus said and he pointed to the tallest and most dangerous looking mountain, "There will be Igneel, Kishiko, and Shannon."

"You're not serious about climbing that mountain," I asked as I stared at the mountain.

"We know a very safe way of climbing the mountain," Draco said almost in whisper, "Very few people know about it since the dragons who live here don't want to be found out and be hunted by Zeref."

"That make scene," I responded just as we're about to leave town I hear a loud stomach growl.

"Sorry, kinda hungry," Nuria spoke as she giggled and smiled. Today Nuria had her pink hair in pony tail and her bangs laid across her forehead, she wore black shorts, and yellow spaghetti strap shirt.

I looked into Nuria's brown eyes and I said, "I have some money, let's go get something for lunch."

Then I heard another stomach growl and I knew who it was. "I agree, I 10 well technically 17 years to find Igneel. A little longer won't kill anyone," Natsu responded and he laughed.

*TIME SKIP 1 hour later*

"There goes 1,400 jewel," I said as walked out of the restaurant and started head to mountains.

"Don't worry, mommy, we got lot more jewels," Nuria respond and she smiled at me and I smiled back.

We were now at the back of town and Draco said, "The first is a little dangerous but that because we need to get the secret back path. So Natsu or Lucy, I suggest one of you to carry Nuria for this part."

"Alright, I'll take care of her," Natsu said then he pick up Nuria and carried her.

Natsu Pov.:

"Say daddy, do you think grandpa will play dragons with us," Nuria asked and I looked down at her.

"I'm sure he will and maybe he'll help me teach you fire dragon slayer magic," I replied as we walked into a cave that was pitch black.

"Draco, we're out of matches," I heard Tatus say and his voice echoed in the cave.

"Its okay, we've got a fire dragon slayer to help us out," Draco replied, "Say, Natsu would like to give us some light." I created a light in the palm of my hand and I saw a bright blue glow.

"Wow, Igneel wasn't kidding when he said the path would glow at its brightest when the fire from a fire dragon slayer lights the cave," Tatus said as he touched the blue light.

"Its cool," Nuria whispered and her shined with wonder and adventure.

"So whats so dangerous about this place," I asked then I heard a roar/screech and Nuria wrapped her arms around my neck as she shook in fear.

"There are Griffins in this cave but if we run into one, we dragon slayers can handle them," Draco said, "Tatus and I have killed many of them but we get wounded each time, thats why we need to be careful. It's best if we don't meet one but we may not have a choice. Lets move." We walk a longed, following a blue path and we heard more roar/screeches as we went along.

"Daddy, I'm scare," Nuria whispered with her fear echoing in her voice. After that we saw the exit but then a massive creature blocked it the exit and it roared/screeched at us.

"Move Griffin," Tatus yelled and I held my flame up and made it larger. I saw a huge beast that its main body like loin, it had a loin's tail and lion feet, legs, and claws and it had the head of an eagle and eagle wings.

"Why are you here humans here," the griffin asked, his voice deep and strong.

"We are friends of the fire dragon Igneel and if you know whats go for you: you'll let us pass without a fight," Draco responded and the Griffin laughed.

"Igneel, he was friends with many human and adopted one and made him a dragon slayer," the Griffin said, "He is traitor to his own kind, but we Griffins are kind to him and allowed to live at the top of the mountain. But just because we kind to the fire king does NOT mean we kind to his friends. You have trespassed on a Griffin's land and now you will pay with your lives."

"Why are all Griffins so hostile," Tatus asked as he got into a stance.

"I don't know but this Griffin has challenge us so we have to fight," Draco said, "Yo Natsu, I suggest you hand Nuria over to Lucy. We're going to need all the help we can get."

I gave Nuria to Lucy and Emiko and I stepped up next to Tatus and Draco and took a fighting stance. "I'm all fired up," I yelled and I smiled as I dared the Griffin down.

"Lets make this quick and painless for this dragon and roar," Draco said.

"Earth/Star/Water/Fire Dragon Roar," Draco, Tatus, Emiko, and I yelled in unison then we breathed out our elements which hit the Griffin.

When the smoked cleared and Griffin laid ground but it was not out. "You think that would take me out," the Griffin said as he tried to get to his feet but he failed.

"Earth Dragon Punch," Draco yelled then his hand turned to stone and his fist elongated which hits the Griffin and knocks him out.

"Wow, we took out that griffin with getting wounded this time," Tatus said as I took Nuria back into my arms.

"Well we had more help this time so of course no one got hurt," Draco replied, "Now, let's go before the griffin wakes up."

"DADDY, you were amazing," Nuria whispered to me as we exited the cave and I smile at her.

Dear Readers,

So what did you think of the Griffin, hardly had a chance to put a fight but would you want to give it a chance to fight back when it could kill you. I think I am first writer to use Griffins in a fairy tail fan fic. So what did you think of this chapter, did you like or hate it, tell me in review. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
