Hey guys, welcome to the second version of the Ice Dragon Slayer.

I decided to rewrite the story of the 1st version because I think it could have been way better than what I originally had in mind. There was also a lot of gaps that I forgot to fill at the time, but here, it will be. I also still give thanks to the support of the 1st version. In advance again, this one will be better and more expanded out before 100YQ.

For starters:

1. Sueong Ryuto will now be changed to Setasuke Ryuta, which I think is a tad bit better than Sueong(since it's basically a korean name and we're talking about Japanese here so why not?)

2. The Arkobolos Guild will be revealed in this story instead of way later. The members will be between 10 and 15(Most likely the latter). For those who requested OC's on the Wraith of the Dragon Gods(Which will also be rewritten), not to worry, they'll probably be added here.

3. Setasuke's Dual Element will be revealed here and Hiouis will come in a couple chapters instead of now.

4. There will be several chapters on the Arkobolos guild before getting into the main story like in the first version.

That's all for now, I'll keep post of what's to come in the future.

Time to begin the rewrite.

Chapter 1:

On a storm snowy day, a little boy(looking to be age 4) was aimlessly walking around, covering himself as snow began to rain down even harder. He looked poor and was shivering very hard.

"Where am I?" The boy wonders, having no clue why he's just walking around, "Where's home?...Where am I going too? I have no clue..." He covers his arms, wearing nothing but a shorts and a short sleeve shirt, "This area... I'm so cold..." He mutters in a gloomy state, as the snowstorm gets even worse, "...My whole body... is numb..." He drops to the ground, breathing heavily as fog comes out of his mouth. As he's on the snowy ground, he slowly looks up and sees a cave a few feet up ahead, much to his luck, "Ngh..." He crawls his way to the cave, seeing that he has no strength left to walk. Once he made it inside, he quickly passes out, sleeping while it continues to snowstorm.

10 minutes into his sleep, a low growl is heard and the boy slowly opens his eyes, walking him up, "H-Huh..." He raises his head and looks ahead at the dark part of the cave, "A growl...?" He hears it come closer and close, "It's a loud one too..."

Out of the darkness, an enormous Dragon reveals himself, looking downward at the boy, who looks up at him in total surprise.

The dragon's scales are a dark blue color, his legs are light blue/white, blending with the snow, and his underbelly is light blue. On his head are 6 devil-like horns, the same white/blue color of his legs and has icicles as his beard. At the end of his tail are a handful of extra sharp ice crystals and his wings are a transparent blue color.

"A dragon?!" The boy was shocked.

"I am the Ice Dragon King, Icigoneal." The dragon introduces and lowers his head down to his height, "What brings a small child like yourself in my cave?"

The boy is silent and doesn't say anything.

"Hmm?" Icigoneal asks again.

The boy takes several seconds and then answers, "I... have no clue." He answers, looking down timidly, "I don't know what I'm doing..."

"Where are your parents?" The Icigoneal asks.

"I don't know if I have any..." The boy replies, "All I was doing... was walking around, no place to go to... I don't know where I came from."

"Mmm." The dragon gets it and feel sorry for him.

"Are you... gonna eat me?" The boy asked, not showing any shred of fear, "I have no purpose on what to do... so it's better this way..."

Icigoneal makes a mad-like face and replies, "No boy, don't say such things like that. I'm not going to eat you." He calmly replies, "You have your whole life ahead of you. You're way to young to die."

The boy was surprised at his answer and stared up at the Ice dragon.

"Do you have a name?" Icigoneal asks.

The boy looks down with a sad look, "I... don't know if I have one."

"If that's the case..." Icigoneal takes a second and creates a name for him, "From this day forward, Your name will be Setasuke Ryuta."

The boy looks at the dragon and tears up.

"Something wrong?" The dragon asks.

The boy wipes away his tears and now has a determined look, "No. I accept the name, Setasuke Ryuta."

Icigoneal smiles and offers this, "Boy, do you want to learn Ice Dragon Slayer Magic?"

"Ice... you can use magic?" Setasuke asks in surprise.

"I can." The dragon replies, "Now... what is your answer?"

Setasuke smiles a little brightly and likes the idea before replying, "Yes. Please teach me." He's ready to go.

"Right. Training starts tomorrow." Icigoneal replies, taking Setasuke in as his own.

Setasuke is ready to be trained and expects a lot of things from the ice dragon.

As they train along, Setasuke would feel cold and Icigoneal would give him a black-scarf to warm him, which the scarf would be very special to setasuke moving forward.

For the next 4 years, Icigoneal teaches him the nature of being an Ice dragon slayer: Dragon's Roar, Ice Fist, Ice-Make, and many more. Before training, he has to strip down(except his boxers) so body can become one with the cold by staying in it for a long period of time. The dragon also taught him how to read, write, cook, and other useful life-long things. As a slayer, he also gains an enhanced sense of smell and hearing. The dragon also gives him a meal of Ice to feast on as eating a dragon slayer element fills/powers them up.

Setasuke gets use to all of this everyday as time flows by. Getting use to the process and conditions of being a Dragon slayer, plus he sees Icigoneal as a true father figure, whilst the dragon also sees him as his true son. The dragon is proud by every step, hard-work, and proper use of Ice dragon slaying magic that the boy has accomplished. Setasuke also enjoys making his magic stronger everyday and is happy to live up to his fathers expectations.

1 year later

At the snowy mountains, after a whole day, "All right, that'll be it for training for today." Icigoneal calls Setasuke back, which the boy happily nods and wraps up freezing a bolder before going to him, "Wow..." He's looking at his hand, "I'm really becoming a full-fledged Ice dragon slayer."

"That's right, Setasuke." Icigoneal nods and smiles with his teeth out, "My boy, I'm very proud of you!"

Setasuke(age 8) smiles back, blushing a little at the compliment before putting his clothes back on.

They then go back to their cave, finally going to sleep after a long day. "Rest for now."

"Goodnight, dad." Setasuke snuggles his head in his black scarf, dozing off in his sleep, and the cold not bothering him anymore now that he's a Ice dragon slayer.

Icigoneal waits until Setasuke is deep in his sleep before heading out of the cave and flies into the sky to find a certain someone, leaving setasuke sleeping alone in the cave.

Different location:

Icigoneal flies down to what appears to be a wide forest area.

"Hmm. This is the place and I look to be the first one to here." He looks around, "!" He suddenly sense something and quickly puts up an Ice wall to counter an incoming fireball.

A fire dragon appears down and lands, "Not bad, Ice brains."

"You'll have to do better than that, flame breath." Icigoneal lets down/shatters his wall, "Now it's my turn." He was about to retaliate with an ice shard.

"Stop right there, Icigoneal!" An Iron dragon stops him while flying down.

"Metalicana." The Ice dragon identifies and halts his attack.

"You didn't have to do that? I was waiting for his retaliation." Igneel chuckles and tells metalicana.

"This isn't the time for that." A female dragon flies down, "Don't forget why we met up."

"Oh, we know, Grandeeney." Igneel and replies.

"What he said, Sky queen." Icigoneal goes with it.

Two other dragons(White and Shadow) come flying in as well.

"We see you all are here." Weissloga said.

"Now, let's get down to business." Skiadrum adds.

They then circle around, now being silent for a moment.

The silent then breaks up, "So it's time, huh." Icigoneal knows.

"Yes, it is." Grandeeney nods.

"The day is finally here." Weissolgia sighs.

"I don't want to do it either, but We're going to perform the Dragon slaying secret art to enter the bodies of the dragon slayers." Igneel announces.

"This is all so we can prevent our children from turning into full dragons, like Acnologia." Metalicana understands.

"Right. When do we do it?" Icigoneal questions.

"July 7, X777, which is in the morning." Skiadrum reveals, "Thanks for telling us the detail, Igneel."

"No problem." Igneel's replies.

"I see, so I was the last to know about this." Icigoneal gets it and Igneel nods.

"While we do this... hopefully one day, our dragon slayer children will meet each other and be friends." Grandeeney hopes.

"I hope so too." Weissolgia agrees.

"Plus, if our sons end up being rivals..." Icigoneal grins at Igneel.

Igneel immediately gets what he's getting at.

"My son will be victorious!" They both say at the same time, which cause them to clash heads and boast about who's so will win. These two Dragons have a long history between each other, battling between who has stronger magic/better dragon king.

"Here we go again, their rivalry never ceases to surprise me." Skiadrum sighs.

"You can say that again." Metalicana agrees, so does Grandeeney.

After the two stop their bucking, "So it's decided then." Igneel nods.

"Yeah." Icigoneal agrees, and they do as well in performing the dragon slayer secret art.

"Until then, my friends." They say their final words before going back to their respective locations to their children.

Back to the snowy mountains:

Icigoneal flies back in the cave and looks down on the sleeping sueong. While looking at sueong, he recalls the good times they had with each other, and it was fun.

The dragon sighs, shedding a frozen tear, before performing the Dragon slayer secret art to enter the Dragon Slayer's body, finally entering inside Setasuke's body, early in the morning/July 7, X777.

"Thanks for everything, Setasuke." He says his finals words before disappearing.

In the morning:

Setasuke wakes up and yawns, stretching his arms and rubbing his eyes, "Good morning-" He looks to see that Icigoneal isn't there, which confuses him, "That's strange, usually he's always here when I wake up." He gets up, "What could he be up too?"

He searches the lower parts of the cave, but he isn't there, "Now here, where could he be?"

He then leaves the cave and search's around the snowy mountains, but he is nowhere to be seen, "Dad! Where are you?!" He then yells, "Icigoneal!"

After searching for a couple of hours, He slowly returns back to the cave, in a depressed stated, "There's, no way he abandoned me..."

He sighs, all depressed before packing his things.

"There's only one thing I can do..." He decides this, "I'll just have to leave this place and search for him at every corner... even if it's the world." He's now determined before leaving the cave and out into the snowfield where he wanders around under the full breeze a snow blizzard storm, which is no problem to him and that's due to him being an Ice Dragon Slayer, having immunity to cold temper and freezing resistance. He'd even eat ice off the trees as a lunch before he makes his way into the sunny opening, having now left the snowy mountains.

Throughout the morning to the afternoon, Setasuke is traveling through forest and spies waterfall to his far right and goes over to scoop to water and drinks to replenish his strength after what felt like hours of walking. He sighs after a nice drink and hears his stomach grumbling next, "What to eat now?" He wonders in thought, but to his luck, he doesn't have to think about it too hard or long because when he turns to his left, a wild boar growls at him from straight ahead in being ready to charge at the boy. Setesuke doesn't seem bothered and only notes, "Looks like I found my meal." He spreads his legs in attack position.

The boar wasted no time in charging and he responds with his closed right fist flowing with Ice magic aura, "Ice Dragon's... DIAMOND FIST!" He exclaims before rearing back and connects his attack to the center of the boar's face and sends it flying a few feet away, which the attack knocks the animal out.

Setasuke's iced fist recedes and he simply frowns as he goes to get some wood to make some fire and then sliding the boar over and sticking it over the fire to grill and eat it for the next 10 minutes under the shaded tree. After finishing on a full stomach, he walks over and leans his back against the tree and reminisces about eating with Icigoneal while they both smiled, whether it was Ice or another wild animal and those were good times and now the thought of his dragon father disappearing out of nowhere and leaving him on his own was surreal. He scoffs and looks down at his hand and turns it into a closed fist, promising this statement, "Just you wait, Icigoneal... I will find you." After that determined thought, he dozes off to take a nap.

After a two hour nap, he embarks onward in the late afternoon and reaches a small town, but to his disgust and uninterest, he looks around and sees that these people(mostly men) look poor and some even look like thugs, "This place won't do at all." He thought and sees they definitely don't have information on Icigoneal and proceeds to walk until he sees the exit a few feet away and as he is about to leave, 3 thugs(looking poor) walk in front of him.

"Hey kid, where ya goin?" One of them asked grinning.

"If ya got nothing to do then how about giving us some money." the second one walks up next.

"Don't have none and where I'm going is none of your business." Setasuke coldly replies, making them raise a brow, "So get lost."

"Huh? Mind saying that again?!" 3rd thug gets angry.

"Are you guys dumb?" Setasuke builds up ice aura in his right fist, getting them shook, "I said, get lost!"

Despite the first two stepping back in fright after seeing the cold glare in the boy's eyes, the 1st thug still goes to attack, "Try and make us you little-" Before he could finish, Setasuke ice-punches him in the nose and sent the thug to the ground, "GAH! My nose!" He rolls on the ground in pain as his nose bleeds.

"H-Hey, don't be startled now!" 3rd thug tells the 2nd, "He's nothing but a little punk kid! We'll beat him up at the same time, easy money!"

"O-Okay!" 2nd thug replies and go to charge at Setauke with their fists out.

"You guys asked for it..." The Ice slayer does them both and after land back, he builds up magic in his mouth and jerks his head back, "Ice Dragon's... ROAR!" He unleashes forward a tornado of Icicle shards from his mouth.

"GWAAAHHH!" The last two thugs are cut and pierced up by multiple ice shards that causes them to freeze up. After Setasuke finishes his attack, they fall to the ground with their eyes rolled in the back of their heads, now unconscious.

"W-What... what the hell is his brat?!" The first thug stutters, frightened and sees the kid turn his cold glare back at him next, "Eek!" He yelps as Setasuke slowly walks toward him, making the thug raise his hands in defense, "W-W-Wait! Stay back!" He begs but the Ice slayer's already closed in on him, "I'll get lost! I give up!"

"Is that so?" Setasuke asks with a frown and receives a frightened nod from the thug.

As the Ice slayer walks by him, "Hmph." He turns and suddenly kicks the 1st thug on the side of his head and the impact knocks him unconscious, "Just in case you try anything else." He notes to the last thug before continuing on his way out of that terrible small town.

Setasuke reaches the next town in the evening time and looks up to see the sign on top called Catafalco.

"Catafalco city..." The white-haired boy reads the sign while tucking his scarf, "Quite a name." He proceeds to walk forward into the city and sees that it's dazzling with actual good people and not a city that looks to have thugs in the alleys in such.

"This place already looks better to get information on finding Icigneal." Setasuke murmurs to himself and looking to his surroundings to before going to different people to start asking questions on Icigoneal, but they wouldn't know and some would dismiss the fact that a dragon exits, which would make get sueong a little mad, but he dismisses them and continues onward.

Now 6pm, he feels his stomach growling and sits on a nearby bench in a tired state after walking and around all day, getting nothing on where Icigoneal is.

"Ugh... it sucks not having money on me and I'm not in a snowfield where I can easily munch on ice for a meal, or a forest where I can catch a boar..." Setasuke pants in thought, "And these people have nothing on Icigoneal... darn!"

"The more anxious one becomes, the more difficult it is to find a certain goal."

"Hmm?" Setasuke turns the right of the bench to see a tall man sitting down, wearing all black suit(shoes included), with a waistcoat, and has dark eyes with black spiky hair and thin curly sideburns.

"Try to take it one step at a time and you might find what you're looking for." The man continues.

"But... I can't slow down! Icigoneal, my father, could be anywhere and I have to find him!" Setasuke replies, impatient.

"Calm down, young lad." The man replies, calm manner, "While that is true, have you ever thought of being part of a guild that could help you find your missing dragon."

"Uh, no... and how did you know Icigoneal was a dragon? I didn't mention that." Setasuke asks, surprisingly curious.

"Hmm." The man smiles and stands up, turning the other way, "Come with me, and you'll know the answer."

"..." Setasuke doesn't know what he's getting at, but jumps down from the bench and follows the tall young man.

After a short walk, they are in front of a large building, that is a guildhall with the name sign up top.

"Woah..." Setasuke glances at how huge it is, "What is this place?"

"This is the guildhall for the guild name, Arkobolos." The man reveals.

"Arkobolos..." Setasuke utters the name, seeing that he might find his answers here.

This begins the second version, this time with the name change to Setasuke Ryuta.

The reveal on the rest of the Arkobolos guild will be in the next few chapters before the big events take place like in the first version(except different)

Hope ya'll enjoy this one and until next time.
