Chapter 244 : The Truth About Natsu!!! 2
Mira : Wait, Ryouji then what does all this mean??
Lisanna : Why is it that his dad vanished because of this??
Elein : It's because the powers of the Dragons are really potent...
Everyone turned to look at Elein who explained to them a part of it but not everything... Ryouji then continued talking leaving them speechless...
Ryouji : Sure wielding the magic of Dragons makes you a powerful person but it had a drawback...
Ryouji : They are losing themselves in front of their power and eventually became Dragons themselves...
All of them opened their eyes wide open when they heard him saying that Natsu will become one in the future...
Elein : This magic was created by your mother Erza... In order to win against a war that happened 400 years ago...
Erza was shocked and so did the others, Gray and Natsu looked at her as if she was a monster living for so many years...
As if sensing their gazes Erza turned and glared them to let them finish...
Ryouji : Due to certain means, both Irene, Erza's mother and Erza lived normally... Inside this Guild, there is a formation where 1 year outside is 6 days inside here...
Ryouji : Therefore age wise they are normal... And if we go at that end, Natsu you were born 400 years ago...
Natsu : Ehh?
Happy : Aye??
Gray : What??
-----____---- All girls were speechless, but then they heard his next words which solved their puzzle...
Ryouji : But around when Igneel was teaching you a war happened that killed all the dragon, therefore, he with someone else opened a time rift and sent you 400 years in the future...
Ryouji : Having any memories of waking in an unfamiliar ground with no one next to you??
This time Natsu was shaken, as it was the first time he remembers doing when he waked up searching for Igneel before meeting Makarov...
Ryouji : Enough with the time ages... When your magic was created they immediately shifted the tide of the war as many Dragons wanted to kill anything while others wanted to co-exist with them...
Ryouji : That caused them to draw more and more on that power and started showing signs of becoming Dragons...
Elein : Therefore this made all the evil Dragons to kill regardless of what was in their sight...
Natsu : Wait, wait, kill anything?? Then, then what happened to Igneel???
Ryouji : He perished.....
Natsu legs gave in and fell on the ground on his knees before he bent forward and touch the ground with his hands as he was looking at it unable to believe what he heard...
But then he heard something that ignited his hope of maybe seeing him again...
Ryouji : At least Physically... His soul is still very much alive...
Natsu : Re... Really???
Ryouji : I was about to get to that so listen...
Natsu sat down there with his legs crossed trying to listen to every detail he was going to say and he wasn't the only one...
Ryouji : Currently, there are 2 Dragons al.... sorry 3 Dragon... No 4 Dragons alive...
Ryouji : One of them is so strong that even i can't defeat him... I can possibly only stall him...
Ryouji : In order for your two seeds not to go out of control and kill you Igneel as a soul entered Inside where he currently resides and suppressing the two...
Elein : Perhaps he hoped that one day, you will manage to perfectly control them and beat that Dragon...
Ryouji : However since i made you go through a hell of training, your body could adapt to magic much easier and those half-formed seeds started fusing together...
Ryouji : Probably when your emotions for power to escape the Ice-god prison or something erupted you triggered them...
Elein : Then they started fusing rapidly but it wasn't enough...
Ryouji : But when you ate the ice, you blend them all together perfectly resulting in your new flames...
