Prologue

"Karyū no Hōkō…" called out a young boy with pink hair as he breathed out a massive gout of orange-red flames at a mountaintop. The gout of flames collided with the mountain peak in a massive explosion of flames. A large red dragon observed the aftermath and was surprised to see that nearly half of the peak was demolished.

"I must say brat! In under two years, you have progressed more than I hand hoped for. At this rate, you will learn and master everything I have to teach you in couple of more years. After that you will have to start creating your own spells and train to increase your magic container, if you want to keep getting stronger," The red dragon said with a proud smirk.

"Thanks Dad you are the best!" The newly named Igneel the dragon puffed up his chest at the praise from the pink haired boy when he saw a dragon approaching them. "Natsu, stand behind me. We have another dragon approaching."

"Really Igneel," the boy named Natsu asked as he quickly hid behind his father's leg and peeked out as he tried to spot the approaching dragon. Moments later a white dragon with feathers landed in front of him and his father.

"Greetings Fire Dragon King Igneel, may I ask why you thought it funny to blow up a mountain peak so close to my nest?" the white dragon asked with a sweet voice, but with an undercurrent of terrible consequences if the answer does not agree with her.

"Greeting to you as well Sky Dragon Queen Grandine, to answer your question, it wasn't I who blew up the mountain. It was my son Natsu, who blew up peak during training." Igneel explained pointing to the pink haired boy peeking from behind his leg. Grandine looked at the boy in surprise, thinking to herself that though the boy did not look like much, he was radiating immense magic power for his age.

"That's all good and well, but I would appreciate that you didn't train near my nest. I have recently adopted a young child no older than three years of age and she needs her rest after learning the basics of Sky Dragon Slayer Magic. Now if you are done training, why don't you and your son come to my nest? I need to talk with you about something important Igneel!" Natsu looked up at the majestic female dragon with awe. She must be the most beautiful dragon in existence, Natsu thought with childish innocence. Igneel nodded his head in acceptance.

"Brat, get on my back! Grandine lead the way and we will follow!" Igneel exclaimed as he got on all fours and waited for Natsu to get on his back. Grandine nodded her head and took off towards a mountain to the north west of their current perch. After Natsu was secure on his back, Igneel jumped off the cliff they were sitting on and hurtled down towards the spiky ground only to start climbing into the air a couple of feet from the tallest of spikes.

"YAHOO THAT WAS GREAT IGNEEL, CAN WE DO IT AGAIN?"

"Pipe down brat! We need to get to Grandine's nest. She has important things to discuss with me and you can have lunch while we talk!" Igneel exclaimed in frustration before sighing, "If you are good, they we will see about a repeat when we return home, how about it?"

"I promise I will be good!"

"That's all I ask Natsu," while Igneel said that, he was thinking of the mischief that Natsu tended to get into without even trying. How can a child barely four years old can come across both a demon and a god on the same day and still survive to tell the tale is mindboggling?

There was a small wooden hut built near the base of the mountain and out of the hut ran out a small blue haired toddler. The child took one look at Igneel and promptly screamed. She quickly turned to Grandine and ran towards her. "You don't need to fear him my child. Neither Igneel nor his son will harm you. Why don't you introduce yourself?" The bluenette turned towards the red dragon and saw a pink haired boy about three years her senior walk forward a bit. She stared at the boy for a couple of moments before walking forward a couple of steps and bowed.

"Hello! I am Wendy Marvell! Nice to meet you!" the young girl said as she straightened up.

"Hi! I am Natsu Dragneel and this lump of scales is my dad, Igneel!" Natsu said with a grin only to be slapped into the ground by Igneel's tail. When Igneel removed the tail, Natsu jumped up and glared at the smirking red dragon. "Why the hell did you do that for?"

"What have I taught you about respect?"

"That if I want to be respected, I must respect in return, now when was I disrespectful in my intro… intor… introduction?"

"What did you introduce me as?"

"As a lump of scales… oh, right I forgot again!"

"You did that on purpose! You do that just to get under my scales. If you introduce Nakama like that, your Nakama will not respect you." Natsu nodded his head before turning to Wendy, who watched the interaction between father and son with wide eyes.

"Sorry about that! Me and Dad always get into silly quarrels like that," Natsu grinned at the young girl who offered a shy smile in return. Natsu walked forward and offered his hand to the girl who took it hesitantly. As soon as their hands touched, their eyes became blank. As if in a trance, Natsu kneeled down and both proceeded to sniff each other at the neck.

"Grandine, is this really happening?" Igneel asked alarmed at the interaction between his son and the white dragon's daughter.

"I think it is," exclaimed the white dragon, "but to think that mates meeting so young. I didn't think the instinctual urge to claim a potential mate appeared in hatchlings as young as them!"

"What should we do?"

"Do Igneel? We do nothing! Have you forgotten what happens when a claiming ritual is interrupted?"

"Both participants become violent and tend to awaken their Third Origin under the influence of instinct. I did not ask that we interrupt the ritual; I asked what we tell the hatchlings. I doubt you have taught her about mating yet and I don't plan to teach that to Natsu for a couple of more years yet!"

Both dragons watched on as the pink haired boy opened his mouth and channeled his magic to his canines, causing them to become fangs, fangs that glowed with an orange-red aura of magic. Wendy copied Natsu's actions, her fangs glowing with a sky blue aura of magic. As one, they proceeded to bite into each other's neck. After they separated, their fangs red with blood, the bite marks glowed with white magic before sealing up. In places of the bites, there were tattoos instead. Both children fell unconscious after that causing Igneel and Grandine to approach their young charges.

They picked up their respective child and peered at the mate mark on the kid's respective necks. They saw that the tattoo on Natsu's neck was a dark blue and silver roaring dragonhead with violet, silver, and black wind flowing through its open maw. Wendy on the other hand had a red and gold dragonhead with reddish violet, golden, and black embers sparking in its maw.

"Interesting mark your child has Grandine. It seems that she has the hidden potential to learn Sky God Slayer Magic and has a slight affinity with Sky Devil Slayer Magic. You have chosen a perfect heir to pass on your legacy to."

"Thank you for the compliment Igneel, but you have also chosen well. Look at your son's mark." Igneel did as asked. After a couple of moments of staring with abject curiosity, he grinned with pride.

"It seems that he already possesses the potential to learn both Purgatory Devil Slayer Magic and Flame God Slayer Magic himself. At least implanting those lacrima he was given won't have a negative effect on him," Igneel mumbled to himself but Grandine heard him. Staring at him with wide-open eyes, she sputtered before regaining her composure.

"Did you find Natsu with both a Purgatory Devil Lacrima and a Flame God Lacrima as well?"

"No the kid went out to the forest one day and returned with both lacrima. He said that the Fire Demon King Efreet and the Fire God Adranus gave them to him. At first I didn't believe him, but he was able to tell me exactly what each lacrima was and what type of magic it would give him if I implanted it in him."

"Interesting," Grandine mumbled before straightening up and carrying her daughter to her hut. She easily picked up the roof and put young Wendy on the hay bed. She then motioned for Igneel to do the same for Natsu. After both children were put to bed, Grandine lumbered away a slight distance and waited for Igneel to reach her. Clawing a circle of runes into the ground, she energized the circle with her magic, causing them to glow.

"There! Now we can talk without disturbing the hatchlings."

"Right, what did you want to talk with me about?"

"I will come to that but first; you said that Natsu said he met both the Fire Demon King Efreet and the Fire God Adranus, right?" Igneel nodded his head in agreement, not knowing where Grandine was going with this. "Wendy was brought to me by a Goddess, the Sky Goddess Nut to be exact. She told me that young Wendy had a grand destiny, so I should teach her well. Before she left, she handed me two lacrima. One contained her own brand of magic, Sky God Slayer Magic. The other she said contained the magic of the Wind Demon King Pazuzu, Sky Devil Slayer Magic that she obtained before slaying the vile demon." Igneel looked at her incredulously.

"And you just took her in, just like that, on the word of a self-proclaimed god?"

"Don't patronize me Igneel. I know the difference between the auras of a God and a God Slayer. She did not ask much of me either. She asked me to raise and teach Wendy. I was looking to take in a child anyway, this made it easier." Grandine glared at the red dragon.

"I am not patronizing you Grandine. I am just shocked that a Goddess decided to descend to Earthland. I thought that they follow the rule of non-interference very rigidly, only intervening when a major taboo is broken?"

He is right! I didn't think much of it at the time, but why did a Goddess come down and leave Wendy in my care? Grandine thought but before she could reply, a smooth male voice spoke with an underlying tone of authority. "Nut just followed my orders. Ankhseram has gone rogue and hidden in the body of a mage, who has broken the taboo of life and death. While the normal punishment would have been being cursed with immortality for a thousand before suddenly withering away in extreme pain, Ankhseram has decided to curse the poor child with his black magic and then possessed the child."

"You speak of Zeref! What does that have to do with Wendy? By the way, who are you?" Grandine snarled.

"It's not Wendy, not directly at least. It is young Natsu Dragneel. The younger brother of the cursed mage. He was brought back to life. He is the only one capable of slaying his brother, and end his suffering. As one of his destined mates, she is indirectly connected with all this. That is how her own destiny is intertwined with Natsu's. In addition, to answer your final question, I am Aleph Null. I am also known as Primitus. I am the Prime God." Both dragons started at the male silhouette that was veiled by strong light.

"Why would someone of such importance come to us?" Igneel asked cautiously. He knew he was strong but he was not arrogant enough to ignore the gap between the god standing before him and regular gods. Gods he could fight and come out relatively unharmed.

"I came to answer the questions that were floating around your heads."

"I understand why you decided to help Natsu by giving him a nudge here and there, but why not let things happen naturally?" Grandine asked with Igneel nodding along with her.

"I could have let fate take its course, but then many innocents would fall to Ankhseram's rage. Innocents who would have lived fulfilling lives if Zeref was given a just punishment."

"Then why not handle Ankhseram yourselves?" Grandine asked with curiosity.

"We could, but then the ancient laws that magic itself governs would have to be broken. Let me tell you that breaking such laws have unforeseen consequences. Bending them are easier and safer for the world. Who knows what would happen if we gods break such laws." Aleph Null said with a grave voice.

"Didn't Ankhseram already break the laws?" Igneel asked with a serious face.

"Yes he did and so his black magic has lost a lot of potency. It can still drain away the life of those it is casted upon, but those with strong life force, strong magic and pseudo immortals like you will easily resist the life drain. The laws have forced him to become weak, but at the cost of weakening the barrier between life and death."

"That is not really reassuring, but I understand why you don't want to take direct action against Ankhseram. Now should we inform our hatchlings of their destiny?"

"Heavens no! Not until Natsu is ten cycle old. Let them develop naturally. Having knowledge of such a destiny would be a burden and may lead them to fail in fulfilling it. I would still urge them to learn both human and draconic history, languages and traditions. They will need it and I would try to gather as many unhatched dragon eggs as you can in the next few years if I was you. Then seal them into a dimensional void that only Natsu and Wendy can access and only if they do it at the same time. Ankhseram is manipulating things to remove the greatest threat to his existence."

"What do you mean? Why do we need to gather and seal away the eggs?" Grandine asked with alarm.

"The traitor plans to have the mate of a young dragon slayer die at the hands of an arrogant dragon so that he comes to hate all dragon kind. The slayer will then proceed to slaughter all dragons, good and bad, alike. You cannot interfere with this, as it would alert the traitor to my meddling. In addition, when Zeref comes by with a plan to kill Acnologia, which is what the slayer will call himself by at the time, accept it. That will be Zeref and not Ankhseram controlling him. That is all I can say to help. I have bended the rules enough as it is, I can't do that again for a couple of centuries again or risk breaking them." Aleph Null said before he faded away into thin air.

"What should we do Igneel?"

"We just accept it. What he said is troubling, but I doubt he would want harm to come to our hatchlings. Not with the amount of risk, he and the other gods took in bending the ancient rules. Now the question is; did he manipulate events to have the hatchlings marking each other so young or was it spontaneous?"

"Whatever the reason, they are claimed already, but I think that we should wait to tell them the meaning of what happened till they are a little older." The red dragon nodded his head in agreement.

"They will want to be close to each other now, so should I move here? Or will you join us at our den?"

"I think that it is better to be here in the then up in a cave in the mountains. What should we do about gathering the eggs?"

"Natsu is strong enough to protect himself and Wendy from anything weaker than a year-old whelp. I say we leave them here from time to time and work in gathering the eggs form agreeable mothers. We should gather the council as well." Grandine nodded in agreement and stopped powering circle of runes causing them to stop glowing. "Wait! Why did you want to speak with me so urgently?"

"I wanted to ask if you have finally reconsidered to accept me as your final mate, are you?"

"You know why I don't claim my final mate. Ignatia and Alextrassa sided with the anti-human faction and I ended their lives with my own claws. Soon after Crystallus also died in the war and Glecumenes was killed as she tried to save that Rosemary Village form those marauding slayers. I fear that I bring only death to my loved ones. I don't want to lose you as well Grandine!" Igneel exclaimed with sorrow as Grandine watched with pity. After letting the red dragon mourn his lost mates, Grandine nuzzled him as she tried to console the distraught red dragon.

"I somewhat understand you pain. I did lose my brother and my adopted son, but I still took in Wendy and I have been the happiest I have been after losing them both. Taking Natsu in has filled in some of that void, didn't it Igneel?"

"Yeah it did but please stop trying to make me reconsider my decision on mates. I know that we are mates, my instincts call for you, but I can't watch you getting killed by being involved with me."

"Why don't you let me be the judge of that? You know that we Dragons cannot take a mate who is not meant to be. I always dreamed of making a nest with my mate and then having hatchlings of my own. If you do not accept, then I will slowly wither away from the grief of rejection. You know this. Most dragons will not ever reject their mates, but you are doing exactly that. Just because you are a male dragon royal allows you to take up to five mates, does not give you the right to reject one of them. If you truly cared for me, you would just accept me!" Grandine growled before lumbering away.

A pair of volcanic black eyes opened up to stare at a straw roof of a hut. The owner could feel that he was lying on something soft and from the smell. He would say hay. He tried to get up only to realize that a small warm form had latched onto himself. Looking down, he saw a mess of dark blue hair laying on his chest. At first, he panicked, before he realized it was only the young girl he met earlier that day, Wendy. Carefully getting out of the little girl's grip, he walked out of hut to come face to face with the white dragon, Grandine was her name, he realized.

"Um… Hi! Wendy is still sleeping! Have you seen Igneel?" Grandine laughed at the scared expression on Natsu's face before she lowered her head to his level.

"Your father has decided that you both will live with Wendy and me from now on. Why don't you wash up at the lake and come back here? I will give you some of the meat that has already been cooked. As for Igneel, the thick headed idiot went back to his den to get a few things." Natsu nodded his head with a wide grin on his face and ran off towards the lake. By the time he returned, Grandine had laid a large slab of cooked meat on a banana leaf and motioned for Natsu to dig in.

As Natsu was finishing his dinner, Wendy emerged from the hut. She was rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, so did not see Natsu until she fell on top of him. The first thing she realized that her lips were touching something soft and warm. She opened her eyes to see that she was kissing Natsu. A massive blush formed on her face as she jumped up with an embarrassed "eep!" and turned around showing him her back.

Natsu was not any better, as his face resembled that of his father as he touched his lips. Unknown to him, Wendy was mirroring his actions, touching her lips with her chubby fingers thinking of how pleasant it felt. A gruff laughter broke both of them from their thoughts. They looked up in unison to see Igneel laughing at their embarrassment, with Grandine giggling away with more composure.

"They just marked each other yesterday, yet they are already so close, that they are kissing. I didn't expect your daughter to be so bold Grandine!" Igneel choked out through his laughter causing both Natsu and Wendy to become redder that Igneel himself.

"Stop teasing them Igneel. You know as well as I do that the whole incident was an accident. Thought it won't be long before they will crave such intimacy from their mate!" Grandine said with a smirk. At first, it seemed that Natsu and Wendy were about to faint before what Grandine said caused them to overcome their embarrassment.

"What do you mean mate? I haven't marked Wendy as my mate!"

"Neither have I marked Natsu as mine! How can we be mates?"

"Neither of you remember marking each other right after you shook hands?" Grandine asked with concern. When both children shook their heads no, she sighed before straightening up.

"It seems that you two were entranced by your instincts. Look at each other's necks. You will see your respective marks." Grandine said and waited for the kids to follow her advice. Both kids turned and carefully observed the marks on their partner's neck. Instinctively both knew what the tattoos meant and whose it was.

"Why does my mark have black and violet wind?" Wendy asked poking the mark with a finger. Not even realizing that she unconsciously accepted that it was she who gave Natsu the mark. Natsu repeated the sentiment and asked why his had black and reddish violet flames.

"The black and violet elements signify Devil Slayer Magic and God Slayer Magic. Both of you have the potential to learn those two types of slayer magic as well in addition to your own Dragon Slayer Magic. Now do not think about them yet. We do not know much about them, but they are similar to Dragon Slayer Magic. You will have to learn to access them yourselves, but only when you are older. Now quickly finish dinner and get back to bed. We will start training both of you harder from tomorrow." Igneel's stern tone caused both children to quickly run toward the cooked meat and devour it within moments. After bidding goodnight to their respective foster parent, they quickly laid down on the hay bed and snuggled up to each other without even realizing what they were doing.

"Tenryū no Hōkō…" a blue haired girl cried out as a massive twisting blast of silver wind flew out of girl's mouth only to be countered by a wall of golden flames.

"Fire Make: Lance…" called out a pink haired boy as he moulded his magic into a collection of intricate spears made of red flames. The flame lances flew towards the girl put a fist on the palm of her other hand and went through a complex sequence of hand signs before calling out, "Tenryū no Nejire Kabe!" A massive wall of swirling silver-blue wind formed in front of the girl. The fire lances were easily absorbed into the wind wall, which glowed golden red before dispersing.

"Great job Wendy! You finally have Wind Make Magic down well enough to combine it with your Sky Dragon Slayer Magic. How about your Metsuryū Ōgi?" The pink haired boy praised causing the girl called Wendy to blush.

"How about I show you Natsu! Metsuryū Ōgi: Shōha Tenkūsen…" Wendy called out as she spread out her hands and a sky blue magic circle formed under her. A wall of silver wind formed around her and a large boulder. She then moved her hands in a counter-clockwise manner ending up with her right palm facing the rock. The wall of wind contracted before launching in a massive beam of fast swirling silver wind from Wendy. When the beam dissipated, the huge boulder was reduced to rubble. Natsu clapped at her performance before hugging her.

"You did very well Wendy! I am very proud of you. Not only did you keep up with me in the spar, you even showed that you have mastered one of your advanced slayer spells. Now how about Dragon Force!" Natsu grinned causing Wendy to huff in annoyance.

"You know that I can barely hold it for a minute. My body hasn't matured enough to hold it longer." Natsu chuckled at the girl's annoyed countenance.

"I know but that minute can mean the difference between a win and a loss. Why don't you try to cast your hidden form spell? I promise to catch you if you lose consciousness again." Wendy looked on with a sceptical expression before smiling and nodding her head.

She stood up, walked a few feet away from Natsu, and crouched down. She gathered a massive amount of Ethernano as feather like scales formed around her wrists and ankles. Her hair and eyes turned pink and dark blue and silver scales formed on her skin. Jumping up into the sky, she spread out her hands behind her as small twisters of silver winds formed around her arms. She quickly whipped her arms forward calling out "Kakureta soragata - Tenryū no ikari!" The two separate twisters merged into a massive spiraling column of deathly sharp wind blades that easily reduced the section of the forest the spell was targeted at, to tinder. Natsu watched on with awe of the little girl and her destructive powers.

As the spell ended, Natsu looked up to see Wendy dropping out of Dragon Force and falling towards the ground. Without moving, he whipped his hand forward launching a whip of crimson flames that wrapped around the girl and pulled her to him. He easily caught Wendy in his arms as she laid her head on his chest. Natsu saw that Wendy was breathing hard and had fallen asleep out of exhaustion.

"My, it seems that you really pushed her this time!" Natsu turned to see Grandine and Igneel sitting on their haunches grinning at the duo. "He sure did! You know that she is three years younger than you right. You have to wait three more years before her body is ready to master Dragon Force. You should have had her train her Sky Dragon Queen Mode. That is more important at the moment."

Natsu did not agree with Igneel. "She doesn't have enough magic to properly use it at the moment. I would prefer she has mastered a minute of Dragon Force that an unreliable Sky Dragon Queen Mode. She can at least use it to get out of a pinch or survive long enough for me to reach her. Even I have to use Fire Dragon King Mode sparingly in fear of using up all of my magic. I will not truly be able to use it for four more years. Wendy will take seven more before she can use it freely. I plan to start helping her with her Devil Slayer Magic and God Slayer Magic from tomorrow."

"So you have already mastered the basics of those two?" Grandine asked looking surprised.

"Yep! The secret was to separate their unique magic signature from my Dragon Slayer Magic signature. That is the most difficult part. After separating them, it was similar to learning Dragon Slayer Magic." Natsu grinned causing both dragons to grin as well.

"That's good Natsu, but you will have to take care of Wendy from now on. It is time already. Do not tell her or any other Dragon Slayers you meet what happened to their dragons. In addition, remember to activate the seal engraved on your backs only after Acnologia has been slain. I hope you remember everything we taught you?" Grandine asked with tears in her eyes.

"I do and I promise to make sure that Wendy is well taken care of. What kind of mate do you think I am? However, I will not lie to Wendy when she asks what happened to you two. You don't have to worry though; I will tell her not to let the other Dragon Slayers know what we know."

"That's all we ask Natsu. The others are already gathering at the rendezvous point. I just came from there after dropping off Anna Heartfilia. We must get there before Acnologia gets wind of our plans." Igneel explained. Natsu nodded his head as he jumped up onto Igneel's back clutching Wendy to his chest.

"Let's go you two I am ready and Wendy will be safe with me." Grandine and Igneel nodded their heads before rising into the sky. They quickly flew south-west from their position towards a valley nearly unreachable by humans. After half-an-hour of rapid flying, both dragons descended towards a large clearing. In the clearing, three dragons were already waiting. A massive dragon with iron-grey scales. This was Metalicana the Iron Dragon. With him was, a wild black haired boy with black metal piercings, his son Gajeel Redfox.

Beside the Iron dragon sat an equally massive white dragon with grey-white fur covering his head, back of his neck and wings and a patch of fur on his chest. He had branched antler like horns and a sharp snout. This was Wiesslogia the White Dragon. On his back laid a young boy with blonde hair, three years younger than Wendy. This was Weisslogia's foster son Sting Eucliffe.

The final dragon was a massive black one that seemed to be wreathed in shadows. This was Skiadrum the Shadow Dragon and in his arms slept a black haired boy, his foster son Rogue Cheney. With the three dragons stood a black haired man and a blonde woman with a massive chest. The woman and twelve golden keys in her hand.

Landing with muted thumps, both dragons greeted their fellow dragons before turning to the two humans. "I hope your plan works Zeref Dragneel because if it fails, then Acnologia will remain a terror unopposed for the rest of eternity."

"Anna Heartfilia and I have worked together on the Eclipse Gate and are sure that it will work as planned. We cannot say for sure how far into the future you will be sent, but it will be around four hundred years. Our target is the 7th of July, X777. It will all depend on Anna's descendent." The man called Zeref said in a monotone.

"You have nothing to fear Fire Dragon King Igneel. Just walk through the gate and you will appear here four hundred years in the future." The woman named Anna Heartfilia said with confidence as she proceeded to open up the gate. A massive metal gate with twelve keyholes. She pulled out twelve golden keys and channelled her magic through the keys. The gate glowed as it open revealing a white void of light.

"Yahoo! Let's get going Igneel!" Natsu cried out in excitement causing everyone to turn to him. After a couple of moments of silence, every dragon and human other than Grandine gave Igneel a sceptical look.

"Wasn't he supposed to be asleep?"

"Natsu is mature enough to know not to speak of this to anyone. He helped me hash up parts of the plan himself, so I find it a moot point to put him to sleep, when he already knows what's happening."

"Natsu you must not let the other Dragon Slayers know. I and Skiadrum have altered our respective son's memories to them having slayed us on our request." Weisslogia explained to which Natsu nodded his head.

"I don't care if Gajeel finds out or not, but tell him only after he grows older. Also, let him advance himself. Do not be a guide for him if you have learned more about Dragon Slayer Magic. Let him grow at his own pace."

"Do the same for our son's as well Natsu. They may be young, but they are Dragon Slayers. You know how the Slayers are, how Dragons are?" Skiadrum said with Weisslogia nodding in agreement.

"You have my word that I will not guide them and neither will Wendy." All three dragons nodded in relief before Metalicanna asked, "How far have you mastered your magic?"

"Mastered the basics, the Metsuryū Ōgi, Fire Dragon King Mode and Dragon Force. I also created Fire Make Magic and helped Wendy create Wind Make Magic."

"Ugh… So tired!" Natsu stopped and looked down to Wendy stirring in his arms. "Had a nice nap?"

"Natsu? Where are we?" Wendy asked as she rubbed her eyes with her fists.

"The plan is being enacted. I was just letting the other dragons know how much I know. Anyway, she has mastered the basics, the Metsuryū Ōgi and is working on mastering Dragon Force. She doesn't have the stamina to really use Sky Dragon Queen Mode yet." Wendy just glared at Natsu for revealing her abilities, while her pink haired mate just kept grinning.

"You two must be the most powerful Dragon Slayers since Acnologia and the most prodigious ones as well. Keep up the good work. Igneel may have taught you all the spells he knows, but you can always create others. Now we must get going, as Anna Heartfilia is straining in keeping the gate open for so long." Weisslogia said as he walked through the gate followed by Skiadrum and Metalicanna. All three carrying their son's with them.

"See you on the other side you three!" Grandine called as she walked through the gate. Igneel, Wendy and Natsu nodded their heads to Zeref and Anna before walking through the gate.

"Bye Anna-sensei! Aniki!" Natsu and Wendy said just before they vanished into the gate.

"So Igneel told him! I wish he did not. Now I may never be free of this curse." Zeref lamented.

"Don't worry about it. If he really is as mature as Igneel said, then he will do what is right. Zeref make sure that the twelve keys are spread out all through Earthland so that others may find the joy of being a Celestial Spirit Mage. I shall join them in the future." Anna said as she threw the twelve golden keys to Zeref and ran towards the closing gate. The gate closed with a massive clang just as Anna ran through.

Zeref looked around the empty clearing before he sighed and said, "I will make sure that only the worthy will get their hands on your golden keys Anna. And Natsu, my dear Brother, get stronger than me and final put me out of my misery." Zeref then turned around and walked in a random direction.

"Layla-sama are you alright? You used only Eleven Keys to open this gate!" Exclaimed Spetto, one of Layla Heartfilia's servants as she ran forward to support Layla.

"I am alright Spetto. Just tired from the excess magic I used to substitute Aquarius's Key that Grammi has. We have to do it now; we can't wait for it to reach us." Layla said as she started at the open gate. After a few minutes, the first Dragon walked out. A black dragon, then a metal-scaled dragon followed the white dragon. After that metal dragon, another white dragon walked out, this one looking more like a bird. Finally, a red dragon with a cross-shaped scar on his face walked out. Before the gate closed, Layla saw a human looking much like her walked out as well.

"I am surprised to see you following us Anna Heartfilia!" Igneel exclaimed with a slight inquisitive tone.

"I came because I felt that I will be needed. What are you dragons going to do?"

"I and Grandine will take our hatchlings to my old den. We hid something is there that shall be of use to the two." Igneel said as he and Grandine flew off into the sky.

"Good bye Anna-sensei and Miss Heartfilia! We will see you again in the future!" Exclaimed Wendy from Igneel's back as she cuddled into Natsu's chest trying absorb as much heat as she could form her mate.

"Truly thank you Anna Heartfilia and her descendant. Because of you two, the first section of the plan succeeded. Hopefully this will allow the young hatchlings to become powerful enough to easily defeat Acnologia and Zeref." Grandine called as she became enshrouded in an orb of blue light before she raced off towards Igneel.

"We also share Grandine's sentiments for your help. Now we must go before the night breaks into dawn. The Ritual must be done at that exact time," Weisslogia said as he and the other three flew up into the sky before flying off towards their old dens.

"Uggh!" groaned Natsu as he tried to sit up, only to be nearly dragged down again by a weight. He looked down to see Wendy clutching him like a lifeline while crying in her sleep. With a sad smile, Natsu leaned down and nuzzled his face to Wendy's exposed neck, right where his mark was. This seemed to calm down the sleeping girl and cause her to stir. "Sleep well Wendy?"

Wendy looked up at Natsu before burying her face into Natsu's chest and started to cry. Natsu laid his cheek on the distraught girl's head as he hugged her. After a few minutes, the girl finally calmed down. "There, there! They have not really left us, have they? We will see the again."

"But…" The girl sobbed, "The next time we see each other, would be the last time. You know what they said. They are using this to prolong their life. After they leave our bodies, they will fade away after their magic is all used up!"

"You know as well as I do that death is inevitable. Dragons may seem immortal, but they are pseudo-immortal beings. Even gods can be killed. We just have to accept that Grandine and Igneel's time has come and they are trying to prolong it as long as they can, so that they can be of use to us. So that we do not have to face off against Acnologia alone. We also have the duty to help raise the next generation. The five hundred eggs that they have sealed into a timeless dimension with the magic circles engraved on our backs being the only keys to access it. We also have to take care of this egg. Grandine and Igneel's unborn child. Our unborn sibling." Wendy lowered her head for a few moments before looking up with a genuine smile gracing her pink lips.

"You are right Natsu. We should be happy that we would get to see them once again before they fade away. So let us get going. We need some way to earn a living, so staying here will be useless. Are you going to carry the egg?" Wendy asked as she stood up, drying her tears with the palms of her hands. Natsu smiled at her as he stood up and walked over to the egg lying on a reed nest, resting on a bed of warm coals.

Picking up the egg, Natsu and Wendy walked off towards the cave. Walking in, Wendy walked over to a hidden nook in the cave and channelled a bit of her Dragon Slayer Magic into the small magic seal engraved on the wall. The seal glowed white before the wall crumbled into dust leaving behind a large chamber. Natsu walked into the chamber and lit his fist on golden fire. The light from the fire reflected off a massive amount of gold nuggets and jewellery.

"Let's take some of the larger nuggets with us Wendy. That should tie us over for some time, which is after we sell them." Wendy nodded her head, grabbed a couple of handfuls of the larger gold nuggets, and placed them in cloth bags that hung from both their waists. When they were half-full, Wendy nodded her head and walked out of the chamber. Natsu followed her and handed over the egg to her. He then ran his hands around the entrance of the chamber looking for the hidden seal.

"Ah here we go!" Natsu called out as he channelled a bit of his magic into the seal. The entrance glowed with a golden light before it solidified into a plain rock wall. "Now let's head out, shall we Wendy!"

"Yep Natsu!" Wendy said as she handed the egg over to her mate. They then walked out of the cave and headed towards the town they smelled was nearby.

It was a few hours since Wendy and Natsu started walking towards the town. They were passing through a massive forest when their enhanced senses picked up someone close by. Natsu and Wendy tried to sense the person's magic when they gasped. "I didn't know that normal humans could get so strong, especially those who aren't Slayers?"

"I don't know Natsu, but let's not enrage the being. We can take him on together but the egg may be harmed." Natsu nodded his head as he and Wendy tensed. A few moments later, a small old man walked through a bush. The man was wearing a white shirt with some kind of black symbol on the chest. Over it, he was wearing an orange jacket and was wearing orange shorts. Atop his head was blue and orange jesters hat and his feet were adorned by pointed shoes. Natsu and Wendy subconsciously let off a bit of their contained magic causing the old man to look at them in surprise.

He saw a young pink haired boy wearing a red shirt, yellow shorts and red shoes. He also had a scale-patterned scarf wrapped around his neck. He was carrying a huge egg with pinkish red markings. The boy looked no more than twelve years old. Beside the boy stood a girl younger than him, probably nine or ten. She wore a white shirt, blue shorts and brown shoes. The girl's long blue hair was tied up in a ponytail with a white fluffy ribbon. A tattoo of red and gold dragonhead with reddish violet, golden and black embers sparking in its maw drew his eyes. What surprised the old man was the amount of magic the kids were giving off and their tense stances.

"Hello! My name is Makarov Dreyar. Are you lost?" Makarov asked putting up his hands to show that he meant no harm.

After a few minutes of contemplation, both the girl and boy relaxed. "The names Natsu Dragneel and this is my first mate Wendy Dragneel!" the boy, Natsu, said with a bright grin, causing Makarov to raise an eyebrow at the strange introduction. The girl, Wendy, huffed at the boy before smiling as well.

"We are a bit lost! Do you know in which direction the nearest town is?" Wendy asked, her brown eyes glistening a pleading look. Makarov sighed before he nodded.

"Why don't I take you there? I was heading there anyway!"

"Sure lead on old man!" Natsu exclaimed only to be punched in the rib by the girl. "It's not polite to call Dreyar-san an old man!"

"Don't worry about that child! I find it refreshing that someone calls me by something other than Master or Saint Dreyar. The amount of respect becomes tedious after some time." Makarov said laughing. "Now why do you want to go to the town?"

"We were hoping to find some kind of job to support us. All we have is some gold left by our foster parents, but that won't last forever," Natsu said as Makarov nodded his head in agreement.

"Are you two mages? If so, then why don't you join a Mages Guild? You can find work there." Natsu and Wendy looked surprised before smiling. Makarov was hoping that both would ask more and his hopes were answered when Wendy asked him to elaborate and then recommend a good Guild.

"Well the atmosphere of Guilds varies from Guild to Guild. Some have professional atmosphere; they are the ones that do not let someone underage join. Then there are some that take in anyone and do not limit their members to jobs suited to their abilities. That causes many mages to die or get hurt. Then there is Fairy Tail. The Guild I am the master off, I may be biased but at Fairy Tail, we treat each other as family, though we limit our mages to the jobs they can handle. Fairy Tail is the second strongest Guild now, only being surpassed by Phantom Lord, but just barely. You are welcome to join if you want, or you can search out a guild on your own. I would recommend Fairy Tail though. The Phantom Lord Guilds Master Jose Porla is a bit cruel."

Natsu and Wendy looked at each other and used what little bit of Telepathy Magic they knew to discuss their options. "We should accept Master Makarov's offer. He seems like a good person and he seems to care for all the mages in his guild. He was giving of a similar vibe to Grandine when he was talking about his Fairy Tail. What do you think Flame-head?"

"What do we have to lose? We can always leave if we do not like it there. We may even meet kids our age; friends are something we sorely lack." Wendy nodded to Natsu before turning to Makarov.

As they were talking telepathically, Makarov looked with an impressed expression. These two know a bit of Telepathy Magic, this is surprising. Thought Makarov to himself. He saw Wendy nod to Natsu before turning to him. "We would be delighted to join Fairy Tail!"

"Then let's head to the Train Station. We will catch a train directly to Magnolia and Fairy Tail!" Makarov exclaimed as he hugged Wendy and clapped Natsu on the shoulder.

"Here you go Natsu!" Wendy said as she casted Troia on her nauseous mate. Natsu's head glowed with sky blue magic before his nausea vanished. He thanked Wendy but made no effort to lift his head from her lap. The dragon egg was in Makarov's grasp. "You will have to train that motion sickness out. Troia will lose its effectiveness after some time.

After a few hours of travelling in silence, Makarov asked Natsu and Wendy the question that had been bugging his mind since meeting them. "What were you two doing in the forest and with this egg? It seems to be the egg of a Wyvern."

"We grew up around the forest and mountains. We were raised by Dragons you see!" Wendy claimed cheerfully. "They were dying, so they sealed themselves within us using the Dragon Soul spell to prolong their lives. We were heading towards civilization as that was what Grandine and Igneel wanted of us." Makarov nodded his head in understanding.

"And the egg is not that of a worthless Wyvern. It was Grandine and Igneel's only egg. Their only offspring. Our sibling to be exact. We promised to raise the egg and then the dragon that will hatch from it. That is why we have it. The egg is close to hatching as well." Natsu explained with a sombre expression. "That egg contains the last true dragon."

"What about Acnologia?" Wendy and Natsu's expressions became severe. "The traitor, Acnologia, was a Dragon Slayer. He became a dragon from over use of his magic. He is not a true dragon. He did not transform using the Saigo no Metsuryū Ōgi: Ryū keijō to become a dragon. He let himself be consumed by his powers and became one."

"That's shocking information," Makarov said taking a shaky breath. "So you both are Dragon Slayers! Am I correct?"

"Yeah we are. I use Fire Dragon Slayer Magic while Wendy uses Sky Dragon Slayer Magic. I also know the basics of Flame God Slayer Magic and Purgatory Devil Slayer Magic. Wendy is going to start learning Sky God Slayer Magic and Sky Devil Slayer Magic soon," explained Natsu shocking Makarov.

"We also created Fire Make and Wind Make Magic, which we are still developing, so we can't say how far we have mastered it and how much potential these molding magic have. Oh, right! We also know a bit of Telepathy Magic!" Wendy added causing Makarov eyes to nearly pop out of their sockets. After recovering, Makarov sighed.

"I just hope that you two don't become as destructive as some of the other younger members. After you two get your Guild Marks, I want both of you to head to the training grounds. I will test you to what rank you two will be at, from the small amount of magic, I felt from you two; I would say that you two would easily be a B-ranked mage."

"If you are judging from the time we met, I would like you know that we weren't even releasing a tenth of our power. Well I was, but Natsu didn't." Wendy said as she combed her fingers through a sleepy Natsu hair. "I don't know how we measure up against normal mages, but Dragon Slayers, especially those who have mastered their basics are usually much stronger than most mages their ages. That is same with all Slayer Magic users. Devil Slayer, God Slayer or Dragon Slayer."

"I see, so that's the true power of a proficient Slayer. No wonder Acnologia is that strong. To have nearly eradicated the Dragons singlehandedly. Ever since you told me that he was once a Slayer, caused me to think how he was that strong. I thought that he used some kind of dark rituals to strengthen himself."

"Now you know the truth, but please don't tell anyone what we said. They are Dragon and Dragon Slayer secrets. Its best people do not know, or the greedy ones would try to replicate Acnologia's feat and that is not good. In addition, do not worry about us causing destruction Master. Grandine trained us to use the bare minimum of magic to take down our opponents. She always said that only an idiotic brute would use power instead of finesse."

"We can kill a fly sitting on a leaf from a hundred yards away with a single roar and not damage the tree or the leaf." Natsu said as he sat up. "Are we nearing our destination? The train is slowing down."

"Yes we are! Welcome to Magnolia Natsu and Wendy." Makarov said as he waved his hand towards the window. The looked and saw massive city with a sprawling river flowing through it. Both Wendy and Natsu stared with childish wonderment at their first sight of a major city.
