S.R: well this should be fun.
Erza: What's that supposed to mean? *Re-quips a sword for each hand*
Natsu: Yeah…. You got a problem with us? *cracks knuckles and sets hands ablaze*
S.R: *sweating* N-n-no… I-I-I just think this will be a fun story is all.
Natsu: Oh. Okay then! Let's have fun!
Wendy: Um…. Sir. Shouldn't you do the disclaimer now?
S.R: I should but…
Erza: You are going to do the disclaimer or I will ******************************************* (this part has been removed due to inappropriate language for Wendy to hear/read)
S.R: *gulps* Okay…. I do not; I repeat do NOT own Fairy Tail or any characters used in this story. If I did this would've happened a long time ago. Oh and due to this being an alternative universe Natsu and Erza are 21 for this story and Wendy is 7. Plus this starts with Natsu as a child training with Igneel (This is going to span most of the Fairy Tail story line so I'm going back to the beginning. Well that and instead of it being 7 years ago that the dragons left it'll be 3 years which means Natsu would've been 17 and Wendy would've been 4).
Wendy: Let's go!
NATSU'S POV
"Natsu my boy I'm proud of your training. In the so far 14 years I've trained you as a Dragon King slayer you've mastered 3 different forms of fire dragon slayer magic, two forms of earth dragon slayer magic, mastered Dragon Force with all 5 of those dragon slayer magics, learned to dual wield and even tri wield some of those forms, and that's just what you've accomplished with your magical abilities! Physically you could when just about any fight without resorting to magic." Ingeel told me as I finished my warm up routine before today's lesson. I smiled at him, making sure he knew how much his words meant to me. "So what is today's lesson?" I asked ready to grow even stronger. "Nothing. I'm feeling really sleepy so you're on your own today." Ingeel responded before lying down and dozing off.
TIME SKIP TO THE NEXT DAY
I was feeling cold and instinctively coiled closer to Igneel's warmth, only to find it wasn't there. That instantly woke me up. "Igneel?" I called out, receiving no response. 'Huh, that's weird. He was there when I went to sleep last night.' I thought to myself before I spent the entire day searching for him and not finding a trace of the fire dragon king. I decided to look towards the back of our cave, where he kept his belongings. Noticing a piece of paper on top of the chest housing the few objects of Igneel's I knew of, I moved closer to read the note.
Dear Natsu,
I'm sorry for leaving you my son but things have sprung up…. We will see each other again one day. Never forget that... I know this is hard for you but the only thing I can say is find and join a guild named Fairy Tail. There you will find happiness and eventually realize your destiny. I'm leaving everything in the cave to you. Those items include a white scarf made of my scales, the flame proof clothes I wore whenever I did something in my human form, a world map, a compass, and the emblem of the fire dragon king. Please stay safe Natsu. Until we meet again.
Your father,
Igneel
As I finished reading the note I sank to my knees. I just started to cry uncontrollably. I'm not sure how long I wept but when I was done I just gathered what he had left to name and put it all in the chest. I then picked it up and left the cave, determined to find the guild called Fairy Tail, grow stronger, and find Igneel. Traveling through the forest surrounding my old home I looked for traces of people, knowing finding people meant finding a way to get directions. Eventually it grew dark and I gave up trying to find people for the day, when I heard a rustling sound from a bush a few feet away. I sniffed the air and mentally grinned at the fact I found a person. "I know you're there. Come out please." I said as I turned to face the bush. Very slowly out came an old man. "Oh hello. Are you lost young man?" the old man said to me once he was fully revealed.
I quickly noticed that he was short, but had a powerful presence that both demanded and commanded respect. "That's not even the half of it gramps." I replied once my scan of him was done. "I sense great power around you young one… But I also sense a longing for someone or something. I know it hurts to think about it but talking helps. Would you like to share your story with me?" the man questioned. I snorted and explained that I had been raised by Igneel the fire dragon king and then, I strangely found myself compelled to show him the letter so I did. I watched his face as he read the letter and noticed when his eyes widened ever so slightly. When he was done reading he handed it back to me and sighed. "So your name is Natsu eh? Well my name is Makarov, and I know the Fairy Tail guild very well. Would you like some company on your way there?" he stated looking at me. I thought about it for a second before replying "Only if you tell me how you know the guild so well." He grinned at me as he stated "That's easy. I'm the guild master of Fairy Tail."
I grinned back at him and reached out my hand and commented "Very well. Nice to meet you Makarov, guild master of Fairy Tail." He shook my hand and echoed my greeting. I knew from the moment we shook hands that he was going to be just as close to me as Igneel was, and that I'd be loyal to him until the day one or even both of us died. Little did I know I was soon going to be forging bonds like that with many people…
S.R: Okay, okay. So my main reason for not posting yet has been the fact I wasn't able to come up with a title. BUT! I have as you all can see. Yes this is short. Yes this is going to be a full story. Yes, the next chapter skips to the first episode of the anime. Yes there will be flash backs. No I do not have cake... What? Haven't you heard? The cake is a lie... Anyway thanks for reading this story or even just glancing at it before deciding it's not you cup of tea so to speak. If you like the story leave a review. If you don't like it leave a review. If you're neutral on it so far, wait for the next chapter. Until then S.R signing off.
