Chapter 1

A man stood in a field of flowing tall yellowish grass. Behind him was a small house with a tree coming out if its roof, a fence going around it, with a garden growing out in front of it. The house has pale yellow walls, with gray brick accents. It is adorned with a messy brick chimney and some decorative elements around the doors, such as a few bovine skulls above them. The roof is covered with red tiles, as well as lots of moss creeping over the edges. Near the end of the fence is a yellow sign with three names inscribed on it: Happy and Natsu, and then with a place that has been loosely nailed onto the post, Lucy. He is a lean, muscular young man of average height with slightly tan skin, black eyes, spiky pink-colored hair, and has abnormal sharp canines. He has a scar on the right side of his neck, hidden by his scarf as well as a second cross-shaped scar on the left side of his abdomen. He also has a sharp jagged scar on his right cheek. Lastly, he has a red fairy-like symbol on his right shoulder. His outfit consists of a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black vest, left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, as well a gold trimmed, black cloth around his waist that reaches his knees, held by a leather brown belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle. Lastly, he has white knee-length trousers with black ribbon ties, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, and black open-toed, and a white scarf with a scale pattern on it.

He looks up at the clear blue sky and sees a few clouds in it, but suddenly, the entire world turns to negative grayscale as time seems to stop. A black figure descends in front of it, easily towering 10 feet tall. He holds a black scythe with a silver crooked handle. He wears a black coak that is open in the front, revealing a white tunic. His hood reveals his face slightly, showing pure white skin, and black eyes with white pupils, and a blank expression. He has smoke flowing off of him, making his appearance seem to flow like water. The long grass withered below his feet, but some flowers sprouted in their place.

The imposing figure spoke in a wispy voice, "Hello, Natsu."

The man now dubbed as Natsu looked up at him, unfazed by the beings imposing stature, "Hello, Ankhseram. It's been a while. Have you finally decided to let me pass on?"

Ankhseram laughed, "No, of course not! I can never do that, afterall, those who have lived more than once can only pass onto the afterlife once. You will forever be stuck in limbo."

Natsu asked, "So why have you come? If it is not to let me finally pass on, there is nothing you can give me."

Ankhseram smirked, "On the contrary. I have a proposal to you, afterall, you have been stuck here for 2,000 years on earth."

"So what? There is no proposal that I can agree to. You have already offered to destroy my soul and erase me completely, but I would never agree to that." Replied Natsu.

Ankhseram said, "Oh really? Well, you will like this… What if I said I could give you a second chance?"

This perked Natsu's interest, "And why would you give me a second chance? I lived for 600 years, and was resurrected once. For someone who is so concerned about the natural order of life and death, you seem to not do anything about it."

"Well, after the great magic war, the world essentially had a hard reset. All the magic in the word was reset back to a time when it was much, much weaker. Magic has evolved in a different direction, but they are still nowhere near as powerful as the mages from your era. The magic from your time as been all but forgotten, to the point where not a single trace of it remains." Continued Ankhseram

Natsu asked smugly as he crossed his arms, "So, what is your proposal."

Ankhseram replied, "I will reincarnate you once again. I am doing this for the sole reason as to improve magic in this world. It progressed very quickly in your time, but now, after the great magic war, it is very weak."

"Why would you pick me then? There are plenty of other mages from my era that would be better. I was never the sharpest tool in the shed." Inquire Natsu.

Ankhseram retorted, "That is because you are the only one I have the power to do this too. Parts of your soul has not yet even passed onto limbo, due to how fragile it was because of how Zeref originally had to assemble it. You will also never be able to leave limbo, and because you are in limbo, and pieces of your soul remain on earthland, I can resurrect you."

Natsu smiled, "I just wanted to make sure. I'll take the deal!"

Ankhseram smirked, "I'm glad to hear that. Farewell, Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu was about to reply when the entire world turned to black and he started to fall. He fell for what felt like an endless amount of time, before he suddenly hit something hard, and he blacked out.

On earthland…

There was screaming heard in the distance, "Get the demon child! You cursed our village for 50 years of famine for what you did! You fell in love with a demon, SINNER!"

A woman of average height ran as fast as her legs could carry her through the town, trying to get away from the angry villagers as fast as she could as she ducked and dodged blasts of magic. She had long black hair held up in a high bun, along with two black bangs framing the sides of her face. She wears a green dress that had soon been stained brown by the dirt she ran through. She had lost her shoes early on out of impracticality, and dove between the houses, attempting to lose the angry mob.

She turned back to see her husband firing blasts of fire magic at the mages trying to fend them off, but he was quickly pierced by multiple weapons as she ran further and further away. She had tears brimming in her eyes as she saw her husband's lifeless body drop to the ground. She looked down at the bundle in her arms. He had a head of pink spiky hair and was wrapped carefully in a scaly white scarf. She had gotten it from the so called demon she had fallen in love with, which she had told everyone was a dragon but they never believed her. Her "husband" was an effort to hide what she had done, but she did truly loved him as well, and it brought tears to her eyes to see him sacrifice himself for her and a child that was not even his.

She stopped in front of a church. It was the only one in Hage Village, and she knew that if she left her son here, he would be more safe without her. She placed her son down in front of the church as she heard the angry mob approaching her. She ripped off a piece of her dress and put some mud on the end of her finger as she shakily inscribed on the piece of cloth with the mud, "Natsu Dragneel." She wanted to write a note for him, to tell him how much she loved him, but she didn't have time, so she wrote one last thing on the piece of cloth, "Find your brother Zeref."

She turned and ran from the church. She thought about how it would be to know that his mother had abandoned him at the church when he was a baby, and then she thought about what would happen to him if he awoke that power again. When he was first born, there were strange black and red rock-like markings on his arms, and black segmented claws instead of hands. He caused everything to burn around him, but there was no way that he should have been able to manifest mana inside of his body as a newborn baby, so she ran. She knew what would happen to him. The minute they saw him, the villagers would try and kill her son. She just hoped that when he manifested his power that he wasn't shunned for it.

She soon was surrounded by the villagers, but by that time she was far, far away from the church, and she knew they would never find Natsu. The main villager in the front channelled magic into his hands as he opened up his grimoire and said, "hand over the demon child! It's conception alone was a sin!"

The woman spoke with a heavy resolve, "I will never turn him over. He is also no longer with me!"

The villager yelled angrily, "Where is he?!"

She replied, "Out of your reach…" as she finished her sentence, she was pierced by a blade of water, killing her. She fell lifelessly to the ground. This began the restarted journey of Natsu Dragneel

I want to let you guys know that I will continue writing this as I have a lot of ideas. I just hope you guys don't abandon this story because it is short.
