In the kingdom of Magnolia there was a content village by the name of Fairytail. Though to any outsider it would seem like a normal village, this one always had a shortage of metal. Every week the villagers had to take all their scrap and damaged metal belongings to an area outside the village walls. This was all to keep an oversized dragon happy and fed, if they did not collect enough metal for the dragons hunger, he would rampage through the town destroying buildings stealing the metal. This was a simple trade that the villagers kept with for the sake and safety of their town. as the dragon also seemed to eat villains who kept to the forest, it seemed like a good trade.

That was till magnolia went to war with Hargon. War demands for metal and other raw materials skyrocketed leaving the villagers over the very limits of what they could handle for themselves, the war and the dragon. The village leader Makrov had no choice but to try and remove the dragons threat to the village. He sent out his best warriors to find the dragon as it slept and destroy it.

It had been two days since the fighters set out when the dragon attacked the village.
