•Lucy's POV•I could feel myself getting anxious as me and Natsu run to the dining hall. I Lucy Heartfilia, was going to have dinner with dragons! Never in my life did I think I would ever be doing something like this. Okay I take that back, when I was younger I had fantasies about dragons, after my mother died, they were all I had. My mother said dragons were kind creatures, so I used to pretend I was a dragon myself. Before mothers passing, she would play dragons and princesses with me. I would be the dragon coming to save the princess, who was my mother.
My mother would think it was a bit silly of me, but hey it was fun. Of course I tried to fly once, that did not go to well. Let's just say I had a sprained ankle for a week. My father would even join in, he was normal then. Oh how I wish he would have stayed the same, why did he have to change? Those were good times, I'm glad I listened to her! Never in my life would I regret the decision of taking the fork in the road.
Me and Natsu reached the front door, but we stopped. Were they here already? What was I going to say? What is Natsu thinking right now? I tapped on Natsu on the arm and he didn't respond. He must be deep in thought.
"What's wrong Natsu?" I asked. Natsu snapped out of it and looked down.
"I haven't seen him in awhile." Natsu grinned. Who was he?
"Who?" I questioned. Natsu started to shuffle his feet and he looked pretty excited. I thought he was going to trample the door down. I wonder who could get him this excited, it made me feel weird.
"Igneel, it's been a whole year." Natsu frowned. "I don't get to see him often." His dad, I feel like a total idiot now. Man, that's rough. I guess I would be upset too, but I haven't seen my mother in years. I wanted to cry, for Natsu. I've been just a big cry baby lately.
"I only get to see him once a year." Natsu added. Why was that? Why couldn't he see him more often?
"Why?" I asked. Maybe I should have known why, I think I already knew the answer. Natsu was a prince. A dragon prince at that, but his father must be king obviously. Igneel must have king duty's to attend to, which must suck for Natsu.
"He has to stay with the others and protect them." Natsu said. Protect them? Protect them from what? Who are the others? I need more information.
"Who are the others and why do they need protecting?" I asked with a questioning look. Natsu looked at me with an unpleasant look. Natsu looked like he was in pain, maybe I shouldn't talk about this now. We should be eating and chatting with his father, not talking in front of the door.
"We'll talk about this later," I smiled. "I want to meet your father." Natsu looked a bit taken back. I pulled on his arm and I held the door handle, Natsu didn't move. What was up with him lately, usually he acted on impulse. Natsu wasn't a thinker, or maybe he was. I guess I would just have to find out.
"Come on dragon boy." I teased. Natsu chuckled as we opened the door. As we walked into the room, I didn't expect to have another chair thrown at me. Instead of jumping back, I just stood there. I waited for impact, but it never came. Natsu stepped in front of me and started to growl.
"Who threw that?" Natsu growled. Why was he so angry? Well it's probably because we've already had one thrown at us today. I held onto Natsu's arm and looked around to see if Erza would kill us. What did I do now?
"Well look what we have here." A voice spoke, It sounded a bit like Natsu's except more manly. I stepped over Natsu's tail and out from behind him, to see dragons. There were so many, all of them were gathered around the table.
