Talking -- "War, war never changes."

Thinking -- 'War, war never changes.'

Spell -- "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!"

{Beginning}

"I'm booreed Mira!" Natsu moaned out lazily, After thinking for a bit Mira suggested.

"Why don't you do a job?" After hearing this Natsu sat up lazily and looked at her.

"Because Lucy's doing a mission with Levy, something about decoding. and Happy left with Charla and Wendy on some job, Erza and Gray are on a mission to! so there's no one to do a job with! so what am supposed to do Mira?"

"Well then why don't you go train?" Mira replied. "But that's boring!" Natsu exclaimed.

He sat there a little while longer before he got up. As he was about to leave the guild Makorov called for him. "Natsu come to my office now!" Natsu turned around and slowly went towards the guild masters office. trying to stall for as long as possible creating small talk with every one near him. They snickered as he went to Makorovs office and entered.

"I didn't do anything I swear!" He held up he's hands defensively. "Natsu you're not in trouble. I have a special request for you." Makorov insisted.

Natsu suddenly interested asked him what is it about.

Makorov held up a flyer, and handed it to him. "Natsu this is a very dangerous job, it is up to you to if you want to do it."

Suddenly very interested Natsu replied as fast as he could. "Of course I want to do it!"

Natsu stood up, and was about to leave when a large hand stopped him. "Natsu you didn't even read the flyer!" Makorov scolded.

"I don't need to!" he complained. "Natsu this is considered a S-class job, there has been sightings of dragon like creatures, and whenever someone went to investigate they never returned. So they requested you, Since you're a dragon slayer." Natsu was even more tempted to go now.

"Then of course I'm gonna do it! it could be igneel!" he then turned around and bolted out the room. Makorov sighed as he massaged his temples. "That boy better be in one piece when he comes back..."

Walking down the stairs Mira approached him with a smile. "What did master call you for?" She inquired, Natsu turned towards Mira answering her. "He said someone requested me. And it was a S-class job!" Natsu replied excitedly.

Mira frowned, worried that he was going on his first S-class job. She asked him what it was about "What did they want fro- oh he already left."

She sweat dropped before returning to her bar maid duties.

ONE WEEK LATER:

Natsu Had arrived at Blue Oak Town after a week. He would of arrived sooner. But he chose to walk instead of using any sort of transportation. He turned green just thinking of it.

"Finally I'm here! now i just need to find this old man." After walking for a little while. Some people noticed the guild mark on his shoulder, there was some whispering among the crowd until one of them approached him. "You wouldn't happen to be the Salamander, would you?" One of the towns people asked.

"Yeah that's me!" Natsu replied cheerfully, The person looked suprised and genuinely happy. "Then please follow me I'll take you to the mayor." She offered kindly. which Natsu graciously accepted. Since he was lost.

After walking for some time they arrived at the town hall. A massive estate was what stood in front of Natsu. He gulped before entering the large building. He walked around lost searching for the mayor with no luck. Until an old man noticed the guild mark on his right shoulder. He approached who he assumed was a mage. "You wouldn't happen to be here regarding the problems up in the mountains would you?" He questioned. Natsu quickly answered confirming that he was here for that reason. The old man requested that Natsu follow him to the mayors office. In which Natsu complied, following him for bit. The old man suddenly stopped he pointed to the large doors. "The mayor is in there."

Natsu said his thanks.

Pushing the doors open He entered. Immediately he noticed the fancy atmosphere.

"You must be Natsu Dragneel! please sit." Natsu looked at the far end of the room noticing a man sitting behind a desk. With stacks of paperwork.

After Natsu sat down, the old man continued. "My name is Hiroto Keisuke, the reason i requested you is because there has been sightings of dragon like creatures north of here near the mountains. We are normally a very peaceful town. But people have been going missing whenever they went near the mountains." He explained before continuing.

"That's why we requested you since you're a dragon slayer. we are willing to pay 3,000,000 jewels if you can slay the beasts that have been terrorizing us."

Natsu pondered for a bit before deciding what to do.

"I'll do it, but first you must let me try to reason with them. If they do not listen then I will slay them. deal?"

Hiroto was a little surprised but quickly agreed.

"Deal, now that that's over you can sleep in one of the guest rooms. My butler will guide you there. And if you're hungry he will also lead you to the dining room. now you may leave."

With that being said Natsu got up and left. No longer surrounded by the fancy atmosphere.

He quickly found the butler, to ask him to lead him to the dining room. his sandals clacking loudly against the polished wood. As he walked through the halls. He arrived at the dining room moments later. His mouth watered as he looked at the feast before him in pure astonishment. He immediately started eating up a fortune, eating every thing near him. soon after, there was not a single morsel left. Now completely full he was guided to his room.

"Oh man that was some good food!" Natsu declared cheerfully. He looked around his room. A golden hue coated everything telling him it was nearing night.

"Guess I should get some sleep since I got a big day ahead of me!" He yawned tiredly. He walked towards the bed, taking off his clothes, except for his scarf and boxers.

He jumped on the bed, bouncing slightly before coming to a stop. His breathing slowed and and his eyes fluttered shut. Slowly drifting off to sleep.

"Woah where am i?" Natsu said after looking around. He realized he was no longer in his room. but in volcanic area.

"You are in your mind Natsu." Replied a deep gravely voice

"My mind? but why am I here?" There was a slight pause before the voice answered

"You are here so I can warn you of what awaits you. their will be a foe with great strength of such proportion that not even you could defeat. Although you have the potential to beat him. but to bring out your true strength you must train. I'll be waiting for you, and when you find me. You will meet the people who will train you."

Slowly every thing started to crumble. "Wait! Who are you?" Natsu shouted, he was met with silence. The world around him began to change. Morphing into something different.

Natsu woke up slightly confused but well rested. after doing his morning work out and stretches he quickly got dressed and left the room and went strait to the dining room. walking down the halls following the scent of food. he eventually made it to the dining room.

While eating he pondered on his dream deciding that it was most likely real. he intended to find those people who will train him to become stronger but until then he needed his food.

Half an hour later after eating, he left. He opened the double doors, breathing in the fresh air. He started looking for a store, to buy some supplies.

After walking around for a little while he found the general store.

Once he entered he bought some supplies and a souvenir. Thanking the store for there business. he left and started to head north. talking to some people on they way of course.

After walking for a few hours, Natsu Left the town. Entering a forest with towering trees.

He started walking through the forest quietly, leafs crunching under his sandals. He admiring the peaceful area. the large trees that stood over a hundred feet tall.

Most people assumed he wouldn't injoy things like this. While normally he wouldn't. He would do this occasionally to clear his mind.

Hours later he was finally nearing his destination. He could see the base of the mountain a few miles away.

While walking Natsu smelt something peculiar, a very strong smell.

It resembled a forest fire mixed with an earthy like scent, but there was a faint scent of...blood.

Immediately he went to investigate the scent. After running toward the scent for a few minutes he heard a faint noise that resembled crying.

Whats that? He questioned himself. When he came to a conclusion he started running even faster.

"It sounds like an animal crying!" He exclaimed.

He arrived at part of the mountain that looked like there was a rock slide. The reasons he thought this was because of the large pile of rocks and boulders.

Apon closer inspection he noticed the pile was the source of the crying. He scrambled to the rock pile, immediately beginning to dig. Tossing the boulders aside like they where nothing.

"Hold on just a few more minutes!"

Finally after digging for a little bit longer he noticed what appeared to be a red scaly wing.

"What the heck?"

Deciding to try an pull on the wing to see if he can pull out the creature. he fell back once he managed to get the creature free.

There it was, right in front of him. A small dragonling, slightly bigger then happy. with bright red scales and two short horns protruding out of its head, with small yellow scales on it's belly. and dark brown eyes with a jagged scar on his left eye.

"Woah!" Natsu yelled in shock at the creature.

The creature slowly approaching him, as he slowly turns his head to the right. almost looking sort of curious.

The dragonling stopped right in front of him. sniffing him, he suddenly leaped towards him. Startled Natsu was about to attack. but when he noticed the dragonling land right in front of him and start to rub his body on his. almost in a affectionate way, he slowly reached out towards the dragonling petting it.

The dragonling reacted almost instantly, making a purring like sound.

After petting it for a few minutes he stopped. He got up and turned away and was about leave, when he noticed the little dragon follow him, slightly limping.

"Poor little guy, all alone and hurt in the middle of no where. I guess you can follow me for now." He said worried that the little creature would bleed out.

After setting up camp he tried to heal the little guy to the best of his ability. At first he resisted but eventually he gave in. the dragonling now bandaged up and wearing a splint on his left hind leg.

Yawning he decided to go to sleep, after taking off his pack and sleeping bag. he went to sleep. Along with the little dragon.

"Ahhh! I slept like a rock." He sat up and yawned loudly before getting up and stretching his stomach growled loudly.

"I'm starving! Guess I better eat." He went to grab his pack to get some food.

Only to see all of his food gone and his pack torn apart.

"What the heck?! Who could of done this?" He shouted out. Scaring the birds away. But then he remembered the little dragon he found yesterday, "That little rascal probably ate all of my food!"

Sighing he started to look for a place to fish. He searched his surroundings before finding a pond with fish swimming around in it. He stood near it before preparing a spell.

"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!"

He Directed the spell at the water, making it boil. Eventually he stopped the attack, some fish began to slowly float to the top.

"Finely some grub!"

After eating he continued to the mountains.
