Chpt 1. First Tame
July 7 X777
Natsu Dragneel sat in the cave he and his father Igneel lived in looking at the letter in his hand in disbelief.
To my son Natsu,
If you are reading this letter, then I am not here. You have turned ten years old and so the day has come. It is time for you to leave the nest and go make your own place in the world. I left so that there would be no reason for you to stay. But first there is some information about that I must give you even though I am no longer here. You were born with an innate magic call TAME LINK; this magic allows you to tame any monster or beast you defeat but don't kill and strengthen not only yourself but your tames as well as allowing you to access some of their magic. Undergoing the process of learning DRAGON SLAYER magic has caused your innate magic to evolve into DRAGON TAME LINK; this will allow to tame any non-human Dragonkin you defeat but don't kill and not only strengthen you and your tames but allows you to tap into their magic as well. Use this to build your own nest and protect those you hold close to you. I name you Prince of all fire dragons and my heir. Now go forth and show the world the power of dragons.
Love,
Igneel
Natsu reads the letter one more time and then stands up.
"I won't let you down Igneel" he says as he grabs his bag and exits the cave. He is walking through the forest when he hears a loud roar echoing from his left. Running towards the sound Natsu begins to smell smoke in the air. He exits the forest to stumble into a town that is being attacked by a bipedal dragon-like monster with wings where the front legs should be.
"A wyvern with no pack, that's not normal and it seems to be hyper aggressive on top of everything" he notes as he spots the creature. The wyvern has cornered a woman and her child and is about to release a breath attack on the people.
"Welp time to get its attention FIRE DRAGONS ROAR" Natsu shouts as he inhales and then breathes out a torrent of flames. The flames strike the creature, and it roars out as it spins around to look at him.
"Come at me your wannabe dragon you're gonna be my first tame" he says taunting the creature. The wyvern charges toward Natsu who smirks and coats his fist in fire.
"FIRE DRAGONS IRON FIST" Natsu says calmly as he punches the oncoming wyvern in the face using its own momentum to increase the power and damage of the attack. The small dragonkin falls over on its side reeling in pain but not dying. Natsu walks up to the downed wyvern and uses one more FIRE DRAGONS IRON FIST attack to knock the creature unconscious. As the creature falls unconscious Natsu places his hand on its head and says "TAME". The wyvern glows a bright white before waking up and standing. Many of the approaching townspeople get scared seeing it stand back up.
"You don't need to worry she won't hurt you now that I've tamed her" Natsu says as the wyvern bows to him. The townspeople look on in awe and disbelief at the display. Natsu commands the wyvern to follow as he makes his way to the edge of town.
"Wait what is your name young man" a short old man asks. "Natsu Dragneel son of Igneel the fire dragon king and prince of the fire dragons" He responds as he turns around to face him. "Well, boy it's not every day I see a ten-year-old boy defeat and tame a wyvern my name is Makarov Dreyer GuildMaster of the Fairy Tail Guild and I'd like you to join" the now named Makarov says.
"Sure, my father told me to make my own way in the world so why not" Natsu replies grinning at Makarov. "Well then, we better start heading back to Magnolia town" he says. "Can we fly there" Natsu asks. Makarov looks at the wyvern and says, "Eh why not". They hop on the wyvern and Makarov points the way to Magnolia Town and they take off into the sky leaving behind the stunned townspeople.
The two mages and wyvern land on the outskirts of Magnolia in the forest and Natsu tells the wyvern to stay put. The duo exits the woods and begin walking through town toward a large building with a sign that says Fairy Tail on the front. "So why the name Fairy Tail" Natsu asks.
"No one knows if fairies have tails or if they even exist and our guild but trying to find out is a great mystery that our members strive to solve and that is a great adventure" Makarov says with a warm smile. "Come on let's get you signed up shall we" Makarov says. As he pushes the door open a chair comes flying towards his face, but Natsu catches it just before it connects. "ALL RIGHT YOU BRATS THAT ENOUGH" Makarov yells causing everyone to stop what they are doing. "This is Natsu Dragneel he'll be joining the guild today" he says, and he points at Natsu.
"Hello, my name is Natsu Dragneel son of Igneel the Fire Dragon King and Prince of all fire Dragons I look forward to working with you all" Natsu says as he bows to the rest of the guild.
"Give me a break dragons aren't real so quit lying" A voice says walking out from the crowd revealing a boy who looks to be around Natsu's age with black hair and eyes wearing nothing but boxers. Suddenly the heat in the room skyrockets as a pillar of fire erupts around Natsu.
"I suggest you rescind those words right now lest you incur my wrath" Natsu says as he slowly approaches the boy.
"And what are you gonna do if I don't" the boy says conceitedly as Natsu gets in his face. Natsu responded with a flaming fist to the boy's face sending him flying across the guildhall where he hits the wall and falls unconscious. "Holy shit he knocked out Gray with one punch" a random guild member shouts in disbelief.
Natsu then starts sniffing the air before looking at an older boy with blond hair. He walks up to the boy and asks, "What is your name". "Laxus Dreyer" the older boy responds.
"Well, Laxus Dreyer I can tell that you're also a dragon slayer and so by the ancient customs I challenge you to an Alphas Duel" Natsu says without breaking eye contact. "And I accept the challenge" Laxus replies evenly. "What is an Alphas Duel if I may be so bold" Makarov asks.
"When two males of the same species of dragonkin enter the same territory, they fight to decide who the alpha is and whoever is named alpha leads the pack" Natsu answers. "Let's get this over with" Laxus says as he begins walking outside through the back door. Natsu follows and soon the two are standing in a field staring each other down. "Don't hold back Natsu Dragneel" Laxus says with a smirk. "Same to you Laxus Dreyer" Natsu replies with a matching smirk. The two dragon slayers begin releasing their magic in a show of power.
To be continued
