Prologue

The sky seemed endless to Natsu, a fearsome fire dragon. He loved the feeling of being so high up, that the landscape below him was like a huge quilt. His large, red, scaly body soared through the air, his wings flapping faster to gain speed. He did one flip in the air and then folded in his wings and plummeted to the earth below. Natsu had spotted a village below and decided to have some fun. As he got closer to the village, he let loose a mighty roar. The villagers looked up, fear in their eyes before they started to scramble around like ants. Natsu's sensitive ears could hear the screams of terror as he flew by.

Tch. Humans are so pathetic. He thought flapping his wings and continuing onward.

You see, Natsu isn't technically a mean dragon. He just loves to see peoples' reactions when they spot him soaring through the skies. He flew for a couple of more miles before landing in the forest surrounding the kingdom of Fiore. There, he was greeted by a huge mountain, a small lake, and green trees as far as the dragon eye could see. Natsu stretched out his wings before folding them in and lifting his head towards the sky. He had caught the sent of another dragon. He had an unexpected visitor.

"Come out." Natsu's deep voice resonated through the clearing. The ground shook as the visitor drew near. Soon, you could see the sun reflecting off of a dark, silver colored dragon. The dragons scales glimmered in the sunlight, its whole body looked as if it was made of metal.

"To what do I owe to the surprise of you coming to visit, Gajeel?"

"So you haven't heard the news?" Gajeel shook his head. "Thats no surprise since you aren't a dragon who pays much attention, flame brain."

"Put a human in it, metal head. Just tell me the news and get out of here." Natsu blew out a puff of smoke. Gajeel actually felt bad for what he was going to say next, but knew that there is no way out of it.

"Natsu, it's about Igneel." The moment Gajeel mentioned the name Igneel, Natsu stiffened. Its been awhile since he has heard anything about his father. As a matter of fact, Natsu hasn't heard anything about Igneel since he left the cave.

"What is it?" Natsu was excited. He couldn't wait to go fly off to where his father was last spotted. But the excitement died down as he glimpsed at Gajeel's face. "Well, get on with it." Natsu said rather impatient.

"Natsu, Igneel is dead… He was murdered by humans." Gajeel mumbled. Natsu just laughed, there's no way Igneel was killed by lowly humans, right? It's just not possible. The king of fire dragons gone? No. No way.

"You're lying right?" Natsu said jokingly, but there was no response. Gajeel had his head turned towards the ground. "No… I don't.. I don't believe it." Natsu growled.

"I'm sorry, but it is the truth. I'm leaving now, try not to burn down the place." Natsu just snarled, his body glowing a soft red. The metal dragon opened his wings and flew off.

Igneel. I don't believe you are gone. There is no way that you could've been picked off by humans. It's just not possible. Natsu started to get furious. His body glowing an even more darker shade of red. His eyes narrowed into slits, flames pouring out of his mouth.

"THESE HUMANS WILL PAY." Natsu roared.

Meanwhile in the kingdom of Fiore

It is Lucy Heartfiia's birthday today. She is turning 17 and in honor of her becoming the proper age of marriage, her father, Jude Heartfilia, is throwing a party in hopes of finding her a suitable husband. The blonde maiden doesn't want to be married off, she wants to find love on her own, and explore her vast kingdom. For you see, she didn't want to be born a royal. She would've rather been born a commoner. Lucy wished for something ordinary to happen, and boy does she get her wish.
