Cold Sun Dragon
When Fire Dragon Meets Ice Human
X771, the far away Forest, miles from any human settlement.
"Natsu!" A roar ripped through the trees and scattered the rocks across the landscapes. Animals and insects flee from it because the source of this roar gave off the impression of anger and frustrated that made it so hot that anyone within a mile could feel it. The source of the roar finally became clear as it scoped the heated surroundings for something; it was a dragon looking for its kindling. "Where is that boy? It is time for training and he had to run off. I swear I don't know why I ever put up with that brat."
Meanwhile, a young boy was running through the woods. "Whee! I don't know why Igneel said not to do this, ever. It is fun!" The boy continued racing past the trees and the forest creatures wondering why was someone as young as him in such a rush. But he was going so fast that he never noticed that the clearing was no ordinary one when he ran off a cliff! "WAAH! I am going to die! Igneel, I am sorry about not listening to you! Omph!" The boy didn't feel any pain or the grass or the hard and dirty ground but someone's arms which was a strange feeling to the young boy as it seems. "What!?"
"You were lucky that I was coming through or you will have to kick the bucket. What were you thinking kid?" The boy looked up to see something that looked like something someone else had told him; this was a woman and he was trained to be nice to woman and those who are his age. But the boy said something that he had no idea where it came from,
"Pretty." The boy muttered, mesmerized by the beauty of the woman who was still carrying the boy and was blushing as a result.
"Really?" She said in a low tone that she scolded herself internally, 'Why am I feeling this way from a little kid who stinks of bathing mud? Sheesh, who are his parents?' The woman's thoughts were interrupted when the boy answered the question she asked before.
"Yeah. Are you an angel? I heard them from Igneel that they are the prettiest people you can ever meet. Are you?" The boy asked before jumping out of the woman's arms and landing on the ground like a cat.
'Pretty bold and tough that kid is.' The woman to her thoughts again before the boy spoke again,
"My name is Natsu Dragneel. What about you?" Natsu introduced himself, showing politeness despite his age and made the woman smile.
"Ur. Nice to meet a little boy who had pretty good manners even though he smells like he needs a bath." She did her turn at introducing herself and giggled at Natsu blushing in embarrassment.
"Sorry, Igneel said that if so much as bathe, he will lose sight of my scent and can't find me." Natsu said until he realized something, "Igneel! He said that he was going to train me today and now I can get back up into the woods and get back to him!" Natsu started to panic which amused Ur even more until he held him on the shoulder.
"What if I helped you find this Igneel, he must be quite the parent to raise you the best." Ur said and Natsu glowed in excitement,
"Okay! Igneel will then tell me how to treat you like an angel once I introduce him to you!" Natsu got excited but then got held back again and was freaked out somehow after seeing Ur's eyes closed and her mouth in a sweet smile.
"Please just call me Ur. I hate being seen as an angel. I am a human." Natsu was confused, he thought that women liked to be seen as angels since they loved to be called beautiful all the time.
"Okay…? Are you going to hit me?" Natsu pulled some puppy eyes that got Ur picking him up and hugging him tightly as if she had found her lost stuffed animal.
"You are so cute! Now just follow me." Ur said as she finally released Natsu and placed her hands on the surface of the pond from a waterfall that branched from the cliff that Natsu feel from the top. "Aisu Meiku: Kaidan!" Natsu was started and in awe that out of nowhere came a staircase leading all the way to the top of the Cliffside. Then Natsu got a good look at Ur with the help of the reflective ice.
She was a woman of average height with a slim, curvaceous figure. She had short dark purple hair that was kept at chin length. Ur also wore light clothing in the cold weather. This clothing consisted of a tan jacket with a black collar, jeans and a red tank top. She was also carrying a camp sack with a blanket rolled up and on top of her back. Then Natsu looked down on himself and was not happy what he saw of himself.
He was a small boy of regular height for his age of merely five years. He had salmon messy hair and no shirt, showing his chest covered in cuts, dirt and bruises which weren't very attractive. His only clothing was his scarf which has the pattern of dragon scales of the white color belonging to marble; that almost came with sandals that were too large for him and pants that were on very tightly and were also covered in dirt.
"Are you coming or not?" Ur said and Natsu forgot about his musing and hurried up the staircase that was surprisingly strong enough to hold both a child and a full grown adult. After they reached the top, Naruto wanted to know about the staircase but, "Don't worry, it will melt and become water again so no one will be able to follow us." Natsu nodded and guided Ur all the way back to where Natsu came from.
Sure enough, "There you are, you little runaway brat! I ought to double your training for a whole month! I oughta…?" Igneel was yelling at Natsu until he noticed Ur. "And who is this?"
"This is Ur. You found me after I nearly ran off a cliff and died! And she did something cool with ice to make a staircase!" Natsu went off like a child on hyper until Igneel was able to halt him with his giant hand.
"Enough Natsu. You are still going to get punished for running off when you could have spent that time wasted doing training. You want to learn my magic so you will have to listen carefully!" Igneel made it known to Natsu who just nodded like a whipped child after being kicked for stealing a cookie.
"The name is Ur and I did find your son for playing so much that he almost fell to his doom after running off a cliff. I just happened to be there for the water from the waterfall to replenish my supplies. But he is only five years old but he is still pretty polite for his age." Ur stated, "You are quite the parent are you Igneel." It was possible, the King of Fire Dragon blushed to the praise of a female human.
"Thanks but the kid is often hard to control at times. He is still a good listener and he already has his Dragon's Roar attack and he got my signature move, the Karyū no Tekken down. He is still working on some more moves, including one he is inventing himself." Ur nodded, feeling a sense of pride to here that for a boy as young as five could get so far like that.
"I think I finally found a good reason to stay." Ur then said which got Natsu to look up like a child hoping to go to his favorite amusement park after showing the ad to the parents. "I always wanted a son to play with and maybe if you impress me more, I will help Igneel teach you some magic."
"Really?" Natsu asked and Ur nodded which got here embraced by the little ball of energy with salmon pink hair. "Thank you…thank you…THANK YOU!"

Three years later, X774. In the mountain range of Fiore. "Again! Don't let up!" Ur, stripped down to her underwear as part of her 'training gear' yelled into a snowstorm for her apprentice who was hidden in the snow. Until,
"Aisu Meiku: Garou no Rensa!" Ur had to dodge chains with the heads of wolves on the receiving end that changed direction and chased after Ur who placed her hands into position.
"Aisu Meiku: Roze Shīrudo!" A shield object that seemed to be based on a rose flower had appeared and shattered the heads of the chains, sending them limp and helpless. But Ur remained on her guard until,
"Karyū no Tekken!" Ur dodged someone's fist encased in fire but missed the smirk on that person when Ur felt a great pain in her side. "Karyū no Kagizume!" Ur also smirked when she was sent into the snow with a burning kick to her right side. That is until she happened to be a clone made of ice. But the figure was not deterred; it was like he was expecting it and a good thing at that because Ur shouted out again, it was her turn to attack.
"Aisu Meiku: Rōzugāden!" The figure looked to see a large layout of rose thrones made of ice, out to capture him but the figure had a plan for everything.
"Karyū no Yokugeki!" The figure grabbed two of the ice vines, ignoring the pain from thrones and setting them all into a blaze of flames until facing the rest of the spell. "Karyū no Kenkaku!" He turned into flames and charged into the ice thrones head on, recklessly but effectively destroying them all. And with all these fire spells, the snowstorm dispensed.
"That is it! The spar is over!" Ur reappeared barely even winded and neither was the figure who revealed to be only in his underwear the whole time!
"Good. I was getting sick and tired of having to train in nothing of my trousers. What if someone else spots us out of a blizzard?" The figure complained as he pulled out the rest of his clothes. It composed of a small vest that barely even covered the rest of his torso that proved to be well built. He also had small white knee-length trousers, black open-toed sandals; but the real thing that gave him away was his salmon pink hair and the scale-patterned scarf around his neck.
"It is training and you should have gotten used to it by now Natsu." Ur said to the Dragneel with a smile. The boy had come a long way and it confirmed Ur's suspicions; Natsu had this ultra-rare ability to learn spells at such a young age and learn types of magic in the shortest time which happened to be three years.
"Thanks anyway Master. I sure had a great time earning under some like you. You make a great teacher." Natsu said and it was true, he learn Aisu Meiku Mahō as well as normal Kōri no Mahō but it was very hard to tell the difference since they both use ice in their magic but it basically ice being used in a more robust fashion than the complex Aisu Meiku Mahō, spells like Hyōjin: Nanarenbu which involved blades of ice and Aisudo Sheru which was a forbidden spell because it takes the entire mage's body as well as his magic to perform.
Still Natsu did learn more about what is known to all three as Honō no Metsuryū Mahō which allowed a mage who learned it to have complete mastery over fire so much that no flame can harm Natsu and he can feed on the too to supply his power; the only catch is that he can't eat his own fire or any of his fire attacks. That was just fine, because Natsu has barely gone over a weakness bestowed onto any hardcore training Dragon Slayer, they suffer motion sickness from exposure to flying on their dragon's back.
"No problem Gaki. I am happy to see that you have surpassed my expectations, for the fifth time in row in these three years. That doesn't happen very often. You are also a very good model for a son too." Ur wasn't kidding, she had a blast when she noticed that she could cramp in lessons in both Magic, social skills and politeness into this boy. It was like Natsu was a boy genius and her own son that she didn't want to leave; but that will have to happen one day.
"HEY! ARE YOU DONE TRAINING YET!? I GOT OUR DINNER DONE ALREADY!" Both of the mages cringed at the sheer volume of Igneel's roaring voice and just shook their heads at the Fire Dragon King's foul temper. Dinner was some giant pig that Igneel roasted very easily but with some seasoning from some leaves and mushrooms had made this a very delicious dish as well as refining the meat from being eaten raw despite being roasted. After dinner and some more training until it gotten dark, Natsu went to his bed made of straw from harvesting some grass and a blanket he knitted through some fibers that Ur had purchased in one of the human towns she passed through once in years passed; it was not one to find in a high class hotel or something but it was comfortable and smells just as nice. Natsu went to bed with a smile on his face but for Ur and Igneel, not so much as a sorrowed and regretful expression.
The next day, it was not a happy one for Natsu by how he had tears on his face. "But master, do you have to go? You still haven't taught me everything about your magic like you promised." He whined in a tone of a parent who changed their mind at the last minute about a promise they had made. Ur relaxed her eyebrows in pity before hugging Natsu who had gotten so tall from her rising, he just pasted her waistline so Ur didn't have to bend down so much to meet eye to eye.
"I am sorry but I have to keep traveling. I have gained a reputation so large that once my fans find me, it is nearly impossible to escape them and leave the town. That is why I can't stay in one place to long, even in a place like this." Ur explained, "My fans just get more and more skilled in finding me, I just want to find someone to inherit my skills and make as my legacy." Natsu nodded but still cried,
"But you only had been training me for three years, even for someone like me that is too soon for all that. You still had a lot to teach me!" Natsu protested until he felt a warm sensation on his forehead; Ur was kissing on it like a lover or a relative.
"No it is not but I trust you Natsu to keep training because I have a present for you." Natsu raised his head while trying to wipe away all the tears and saw that Ur was holding a small pile of scrolls and gave them to Natsu. "In there is everything there is to know about my magic and skills. It took me three years of making them for an occasion like this. Please use it very well and be the best boy I ever trained." Natsu nodded again, clutching the scrolls as if they will disappear once he even let loose a little.
Ur then disappeared in the farewell and vanished into the horizon, never to be seen again. But Natsu wasn't going to let that get him down; he will see her again as long as he kept up his training and make her proud with any progress and achievement he could ever make in this single lifetime. But Fate works in unpredictable ways and makes things never thought possible become an option.

Another three years passed and it was now X777 but that year was not to be a good one for Natsu once the day, the Seventh of July, finally dawned on the horizon,
"Igneel? Igneel where are you!?" The next morning came cold for the poor boy who just wanted to get out and train in his magic until he noticed that Igneel wasn't there. His scent wasn't in the air anywhere, not even that of other dragons. There were no footprints leading away from their home and if Igneel erased his scent somehow, it will still linger where he usually spelt but even that wasn't there. "…dad? Dad, are you there?" Natsu then grew tears from his eyes as his search for his father had grew more and more cold and empty. It like all the happiness in the world was avoiding him, leaving only the sad parts to Natsu. "IGNEEL!"
Later, in another part of the world, a little boy was trudging through the woods, pushing the bushes and branches out of his vision. Ignoring the muddle and dirt and the bugs as he went on, even his exhaustion was not to be noticed or else it will slow this boy down. Pretty soon, he came across a clearing but not in the middle of the woods. It was a town, the capital of Fiore that was known as Magnolia. "Is this where I can sign up for a guild?" The boy who had revealed himself in the sun's light to be Natsu said to himself and started to ask around for directions to any good guild, they all point to one named Fairy Tail that has been around for a whole century and is the top Guild in Fiore.
When he finally arrived at the hall, he was impressed by its sheer size and was about to open the doors to sign up when they swung open to make way for a table and chair or two of each to fly past Natsu. He ducked under due to his trained reflexes and saw that the guild was noisy and threw things at each other. 'This is Fairy Tail?' Natsu thought and saw some girls he recognized as in his age group so he went over to ask them, "Hey. Can you show me…?" He asked politely until they both faced him with red glowing eyes; that told Natsu they were in no mood to talk.
Natsu kicked back for some space for a fight and the two girls charged into his direction! Acting fast, Natsu tapped into his magic and touched the floor. "Aisu Meiku: Furoa!" At the last minute, the two girls slipped on the ice landed the hard way out of the guild and into the neighbor's trash cans. But there was no one appreciating that,
"What that magic?"
"But that was ice!"
"Is he a copycat?!"
Natsu was curious as to why he was called a copycat due to his magic over ice. That is until he felt someone grab him by the scarf and pulled into the face of one ugly little kid. "Alright, where did you learn that magic and who did you steal it from?"
Natsu was not happy to be placed in some positon and pushed as much as he could and allowed by this very rude boy. "I assure you that I am not a thief. I learned my magic from my Master and my father who was a dragon." Before Natsu could explain, that same boy started to laugh hysterically.
"Dragon? You are very good liar as well as a thief! Ha-ha-ha!" Then everyone started to laugh but Natsu was not the one to walk away.
"So you are from a very rude and insulting clan who gets friends by dressing naked in public?" Natsu smirked; of course that gave everything away for this boy. Apparently Ur wasn't kidding that she once saw she will find another boy to train as well as Natsu. But to his yes, Ur could have made a better choice of boy.
"ARRGH! My clothes!" Now everyone was laughing at the boy who was frantically looking for his disappeared wardrobe. Then the boy turned to Natsu like the latter is the one who stole the clothes begun to grab at Natsu's outfit, "Hurry up and give me your clothes! Or I will kick you…!"But when the boy got into close proximity of Natsu or more precise, Natsu's arms, he was pulled around in 360 degrees like a kid's doll and was sent into one of the tables that had the laughing guild members, slipping their drink and making a mess of their food.
"May that be a warning; I come to join your guild and your welcome is no different than how bandits celebrate your birthday. Make another impression like that I will change my mind." Natsu growled out and everyone never made a move after seeing the true power in those eyes until a laughter was heard in the air. Not one to insult someone or at their misery but a jolly laughter of someone having a hearty good time.
"I like you Gaki. You have real skill to take our strongest female members by surprise and even one of our stronger and younger members out like that. What is your name?" Natsu was wondering why he was going to talk to a dwarf who looked like some kind of jester with orange clothes. But since no one ever tried to protest or even join along meant something to the young boy.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel. You can believe me or not but I have been trained by a dragon and my Master." Natsu tried one more time and this time no one laughed at him. Only the dwarf to think hard.
"Dragons haven't been seen in a while but our records by our stronger and wiser ancestors have seen Dragons before so I will never insult you for that." Natsu felt a little warm for that, "My name is Makarov Dreyar and I am the Master of this Guild. And I say welcome to Fairy Tail!" The dwarf introduced himself and everyone soon cheered instead of laugh which made Natsu just stand in his place, shaking like a leaf but was silently crying tears of joy.
"…Thank you everyone. I will make you all proud." Natsu sniffed and rubbed his eyes clear of tears and faced Makarov, "Where do I sign up?"

It has been ten years since Ur had to leave Natsu and Igneel to her travels across the continent. She said her farewells and Natsu only asked of Ur to promise that she will be around for them to meet again and share what they had seen and learned in the time they were apart. But five years had passed and Natsu never saw Ur again, not even once. It is also the seven year anniversary of when Igneel disappeared. And ever since both of those dark times, Natsu had grown into a very renown and powerful Mage; as evidenced from becoming the new youngest mage to become a S-Class Mage, the elite of any legal Guild.
"Are you sure we can find Igneel here Natsu?" A small and childish voice asked of the said boy, no man. The years had been very kind to him and his figure was like a cross between an acrobat and a full muscle wrester. His outfit composed of a sleeves waistcoat with golden edging and yet white leg-long trousers, a black band around one of his wrists that held the symbol of Fairy Tail and a familiar scarf that complemented his salmon pink hair. This was Natsu Dragneel, known by a lot of names through his fellow guild mates or the others who had witnessed his power.
"For the last time Happy, we are here because someone has been using the name of Salamander who is a member of our guild for the wrong reasons. I want to stop him." Natsu addressed the one named happy, a blue cat who was walking in his hind legs and was carrying a backpack.
"Oh yeah but where are we going to find this 'Salamander'?" Happy said and just noticed Natsu smirking as if to hear that and see some circumstances that make it all amusing to him.
"You need to stop speaking so soon Happy. Take a good look." Natsu pointed to a crowd in the distance where girls were screaming about a man they called 'Salamander'. Happy was just gawking at their luck while Natsu was laughing at the expression while walking towards the crowd until he noticed another girl approaching the man with hearts in her eyes. 'Chāmu Mahō!' Natsu thought and shook the woman out of the grasp.
"W-what?" She muttered and realized that she was under a trance. She then noticed the man who stopped her from entering the crowd of women. "Thanks. I thought that I was under something like a Chāmu." She thanked Natsu who chuckled,
"Yeah and it was strong enough to woe you if it wasn't for me. I am glad that you are smart enough, even more than them…" Natsu pointed his thumb to helpless crowd of fan girls, "To see through that ruse of illegal Magic."
The woman blushed, Natsu had gotten a little experience with girls and developed a sense of flirting that was successful and the women love it anyways. "Oh." She yelped, realizing she forgot something. "My name is Lucy. What is yours handsome?" She tried to seduce Natsu but he was not to be taken lightly but it wasn't in Natsu's character to disappoint anyone he trusted and tolerated which included this woman named Lucy.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel. You might know me as the real Salamander or what everyone now calls me the Cold Sun Mage of Fairy Tail." Natsu introduced himself and nearly gave Lucy a heart attack; she was helped and was in the company of one of the up-rising Elite Mages of Fairy Tail!
