The Dragon and The Demon of Fairy Tail

Disappeared

Natsu awoke in the cave he and Igneel lived in. The last thing he remembered was playing with Wendy till he got really tired and fell asleep with her. Natsu then looked behind to see a big red dragon and figured out that Igneel had taken him home. He was sad that he didn't get to say goodbye but he was pretty sure he would see Grandine and Wendy soon so it didn't bother him too much

Natsu stretched while yawning getting up from the ground. All he was wearing was some white, baggy pants because being a fire dragon slayer he never felt hot and couldn't get cold.

He walked outside the cave to see bright sun light. He got a slight headache from the sun but it stopped after a few moments. He look around the grassland area surrounded by a forest that had big rocks laying around.

He loved this place.

He loved it because he was growing up with his father and growing stronger each day. He loved it because this is where he was happy, he made new friend, and this is where his family was.

He never knew his real parents. He could only remember Igneel since he was 4 years old and couldn't remember anything before that. Igneel always said he found him in the middle of the forest crying when was he only 2 years old. Natsu never noticed before, but now when he thinks back, Igneel was nervous every time he would bring the topic up.

Deciding it didn't really matter, he walked around looking around the area for about a half hour before Igneel finally came out of the cave

"Natsu get over here" Igneel spoke with a soft yet very demanding tone Natsu jogged quickly over to Igneel and stood there patiently waiting for him to speak.

Igneel expected to be attacked early this morning by Natsu but was surprised when he woke up on his own. Igneel looked at the boy and asked " Why didn't you attack like you always do?"

" You were sleeping, it would have been rude to attack you while you are sleeping." Natsu answered like it was and everyday thing.

Igneel was now looking at Natsu like he had just killed somebody. He couldn't believe the words " it would have been rude " came out of Natsu's mouth. He stared at Natsu for a few more seconds before he composed himself.

" Ok, time for training. Now I want you to practice all of the basic spells till I decide you have mastered each one." Igneel looked at Natsu to see his reaction. He expected Natsu to whine and complain saying something along the line of " but I already mastered them " or " that's boring".

Yet agin Natsu surprised him by walking about 30 feet away from him and began to use each of the basic spells over and over agin. Igneel could only stare at Natsu while he practiced. He seemed to be perfectly pulling off the spells, but before he was barley activate the spells.

Natsu went through each of the basic spells Igneel had taught him. Natsu repeated each spell 5 time before moving onto the next one. After he was finished he looked at his father to see how well he had done.

Igneel could only ask " How the hell did you get better at those spells so soon? Before you were barley able to start the spell and now you pulled off each one flawlessly."

Natsu replied " I don't know, it just seemed easier than before to preform the spells"

"Ok well since you seemed to have finished the physical part of training so soon I guess we can go to some mental training." And again Igneel waited for a typical Natsu response of " but I don't want to " or " that's boring"

And again Natsu surprised him by walking toward Igneel and sitting right in front of him. Natsu looked up to his step father with great interest and fascination. " Actually can we do mental training more often? It seems like we rarely ever do this."
