Chapter 1

In the land of Fiore where magic exist, magic exist in many forms, some people used it a form of convenience while others use it as a form entertainment.

And there are those who use magic as their occupation, these individuals are referred to as wizards or mages. they join various guild to perform jobs on commission based on the level of defeculty involved.

And in a certain city lies a certain guild, a guild that is known throughout the land where countless legends are born a place where countless powerfull wizards gathers. one boy who will join this guilt makes his way to become the strongest. A tale on how he changed everything.

one one fatefull morning in the forest of Fiore, birds chirping and rivers flowing a place where one could hear the sound of nature, however in the Forrest of Fiore one could hear sounds of the ground trembling and forest being torn apart by a lizard like creature.

this creature was , as strange as it sounds, a dragon, this pacticular dragon is covered with red scales and scars throughout his body, just by the thought of it one could feel a sense of intimidation due to its identity alone.

as the dragon roamed through the forest of Fiore, the dragon caught a strange scent that belongs to a human, and began heading to the direction where the smell was coming from,upon arriving he was surprised to see a small human boy that couldn't be older than three.

normally one could expect that a dragon would eat anything it sights especially a human, but it this world dragon are surprisingly intelligent and some are friendly to humans. this specific dragon, who happened to be known as Igneel, The king of the fire dragons.

Igneel was pretty much indifferent. When it came to this human child, however, he could not help but feel the urge to take it in as one of his own. He picked the sleeping child up in one hand and walked back to the top of the mountain he resided on. He gently set the boy down onto a pile of leaves in a clearing on the mountain. He then wrapped his body around the child and covered him with his wings before dozing off.

As time went on, he began more and more attached to the human boy as the child grew to love his newfound father. Igneel would not allow himself to have a weak and simple minded son, so he began training him both his mind and body in attempt to strengthen the child physical and mental prowes. He had him run, lift rocks, crush bolders and even taught him fire dragon magic where Igneel was adept at.

Igneel also taught the boy how to read and write based on his knowledge about humans. He also strengthened his reasoning and logical skills

After a few months, Igneel knew he had to name the boy or it would become an inconvenience to refer to him as "child" . He decided the name Natsu was fitting for the son of a fire dragon, and the last name was not too difficult to decide upon either.

"Dragneel. The boy is a dragon in his heart and I have too much pride to not allow him to bear at least a part of my name," he thought with a chuckle.

"Natsu Dragneel ... You are going to become the strongest human mage this world has ever seen," he said confidently. And with that, he strode back to check on his newly named child.

3 YEARS LATER

"Dad?" Natsu called as he looked around for his father.

"I'm right here, Natsu!" came the voice from the other side of the mountain, A place where they had been living for the past three and a half years. "Are you done with your training?"

Natsu (now a six-and-a-half year-old) flew straight up into the air with fire seemingly shooting from his feet, propelling himself . He looked down and saw his loving dragon of a father - and that is quite literal - and dove headfirst toward the ground beside him, shooting flames out at the last second and flipping himself in midair to lessen the damage caused from his fall. Nevertheless, a small crater was created where he landed but he came out fine. Evidence of this frequent occurrence was obvious on the unfortunate floor of dirt and stone underneath his feet.

"Of course I've finished, did you think something as easy as that would take me too long?" Natsu asked with an exaggerated look of incredulity obvious on his face as he walked up to Igneel.

"If you think it's so easy, then why don't you go take another crack at the black and white hat riddle?" Igneel answered with another question, knowing Natsu had always struggled with that riddle.

"Already done, Dad. I've been working on it and I wrote down the answer and put it on the table," Natsu answered smugly.

"How about you explain how it works then?"

"Well, since the guy in the back have no idea what color his hat is, his is obviously the one wrong answer that is allotted in the rules. Saying "black" or "white" has to send a message, and it can't explain the specific number of each h-," Natsu was cut off as Igneel threw a boulder straight at him. Natsu instinctively punched the large piece of stone into a pile of dust with insanely fast reflexes.

"I believe that you've figured it out, but I'll be sure to check out your answer when I get back there. And I'm actually impressed by how much you've improved in such a small amount of time." Igneel praised Natsu but made sure that he didn't get a head of himself. "For a six-year-old human, anyway."

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks and all, but I really want to step up this training so I can get even stronger!" Natsu replied energetically, causing Igneel to chuckle knowingly.

"If he wants harder training, then he's gonna get it." Thought Igneel mischievously, as he said something a bit less ominous to Natsu. "If that's really what you want, then I'll put you on a training regimen that will make you ten times as strong within two years, but it'll be difficult and you'll need to learn other magic."

"I'll do it! I'm going to be even stronger than you someday, but I have to train harder to reach that state!" Natsu said with a huge grin on his face.

"Hahaha,you better remember what you just said or you might regret it" from now on you'll be training to the point you cannot even fell you legs anymore.

Now the real training begin!!

2 YEARS LATER

"So what's it like out there?" Natsu inquired as he thought about the fact that he'd never seen another human before. He looked at the space between his feet quietly, waiting for an answer.

"Father, what it's like out there? are there any humans? Natsu enquired as he never went outside before never less one someone besides his father.

He looks at his father while quietly waiting for an answer.

Igneel laughed, but figured Natsu's curiosity about other humans was warranted given the fact that he hadn't been in the presence of other people even once in his life. "In a word? Crowded. People everywhere. Eating, drinking, walking, talking, kissing, and doing pretty much all of it at once. One thing about them, though, is that they're all unique. Different in their own ways."

thw world beyon this mountain is filled with countless people

Natsu frowned slightly. "That sounds pretty gross. Are they all like that?" He kicked the dirt in frustration, wishing he could meet some people for once, even if they were weird.

The dragon looked over at Natsu for a moment before opening his maw to say something else, but then deciding to stay silent.

"So when are we going to make that trip? I've been looking forward to it, but you never have told me a specific time." Natsu said.

Igneel sighed. "We might as well go now, since you've basically mastered all of other magics that I've thought you."

"What?! Really?" Natsu exclaimed with excitement practically dripping from every part of his body.

"Let's go. But I want you to fly as fast as you can while using those fire wings you've developed. It will help you increase your magic power as well as your stamina and endurance." Igneel said, as he began to flap his wings along with Natsu, who created wings out of fire that protruded from his back. They flew out into the distance, and even after they were out of sight it seemed as though you could still feel the strength of their magic even at this distance.
