Our Little Secret.

Chapter 20

Lucy's POV

"- begone" said Anna as Natsu fell to the ground and my eyes widen in shock. I face Anna and grab my keys and attempt to open a gate but my keys aren't responding. I look at the Celestial King and he says "I've overridden you're summoning. There's no need to harm her, for Natsu is not harmed. He is just in a dream. I've brought a lost soul that need to speak to him.

"Then why did she put him in an unconscious state ?" I asked annoyed.

"Because, it's not everyday that I get to see one of my daughter's in the flesh. They'll all dead when I meet them." She said with a smile "By the way, you mother told me something I need to tell you." She added and I lowered my guard. I'll listen if it involves my mom.

"She wants you to know things are gonna change. You're gonna learn knew powers, spells. You and Natsu. New things and new experiences that will bring you closer together. Love is blooming and it's an amazing thing, but....." She said as she drifted off.

"'But' what ?" I asked.

"Something's coming, Natsu's past is coming back, one he doesn't remember." She said. "Natsu doesn't remember life before Igneel. His memories were sealed away until he was old enough, and matured enough to handle it. But the love between you and Natsu is special, it's the kind of love that will always be there, through thick and thin, through sickness and in health. You'll help him through it, just know that it'll happen soon." She said.

"I understand, but what's in Natsu's past ?" I asked.

"You'll know in do time. But there's something else that I want to talk to you about." She said.

"What is that ?" I asked.

"Dragon Royalty." She said.

Meanwhile, Natsu's Pov.

I wake up in pitch black. My body is still, it's like I'm standing, but I can't move. A spotlight hit's me and I fall on the floor.

"Where am I !?" I asked

The room caught fire, then I heard it.

"Aren't you glad to see me boy !?" Said.....

Igneel   

"Igneel." I said in shock.

"Hello Natsu." He said.

"What happened Igneel ? Where did you go ?" I asked

"I had to go. Just as you, I have responsibilities of my own. You were too young so I couldn't bring you along. Now, there is a reason for my return. Do you remember life before me ? " said Igneel

"No." I said.

"Exactly, now what I am going to tell you is very important, so listen." He said. "Those memories had to be sealed away until you became mature enough because of what your past entails. But now that you are mature enough, they will come back, one by one. Understand ?" He said.

"Yes." I said.

"Good, now there's something else I need to explain to you." He said.

"What is it ?" I asked.

"Dragon Royalty." He said
