Legend Of The Ice Dragons

The Ice Dragon Sings For A Storm

(A/N : I'll be writing in the dragon language then in the brackets [ ] will be Eclipse translating. In the previous chapters in the ( ) Natsu's brain in the dreams translated. He won't be able to understand very well as he's awake.)

The boy was back with his head laying on his now crossed arms. His cobalt eyes were dull and seemed to be focused on the heart in the ceiling. Ignoring the people in front of his cell and got up to shake the cage holding the exceed. The gentle sway made her curl her tail around herself. When she just curled up tighter he hummed and stuck his hand in to scratch the top of her head. Her big eyes blinked open and she looked at him and reached her little arms out to touch him.

He looked to the group of three people and one exceed in front of cell. This caught the female exceed's attention. Her eyes were red and pacific blue. Then she spoke.

"You shouldn't be here. You'll be killed if they catch you."

"Who are they?"

"The Dragon Priests."

"Dragon Priests!?"

The exceed slowly nodded. Her ears going down as Natsu exclaimed.

"What do you mean by the Dragon Priests?"

"They've gone by many names throughout the years ever since the dragons were around. The Tongues, Blades, and the Akaveri. Their mission is to destroy anything related to dragons. Even the Dragonborns themselves."

"The Dragonborns?"

"Surely you know that there are a few Dragonborns in this world. You're one in fact. One that specializes in fire right?"

"How'd you know."

The exceed laughs dryly. Then she looked to the boy standing by her cage. He was looking at the group out of the corner of his eye. When the attention was back on him he closed his eyes facing away from the group. Erza cleared her throat and looked to the boy.

"I'm terribly sorry to ask but what are the people here doing."

The boy spoke in the language as he did before. It was fluent and smooth but they didn't understand.

"I'm sorry but what was that?"

"Oh I'm sorry. Gray can understand English but when he was younger he learned to speak in the tongue of dovah. Or dragons. I'll translate for now till he relearns English."

Gray huffed and turned to the group again and restarted his statement.

"Nust fus zu'u wah lovaas wah fin heart wah drun fin strun outside ruth. Nii faaz wah lovaas without dinok just fah daar muz nahkriin.[They force me to sing to the heart to make the storm outside rage. It's painful to sing without end just for these peoples revenge.]"

With the translation the team made and 'ohh' shape with their mouths not completely understanding the significance of why Gray would have to sing. The exceed realized this and started explaining.

"You probably haven't learned anything about ice dragons. Well they're most sought out for their scales and their voices. The scales they dragon could be dead or alive. But the voice it has to be alive. And their is never a recording of their voice. They say that if you do hear a recording it would be so awfull your ears bleed."

"But why would anyone do that? What's the purpose for taking them just for their voice?"

Lucy was astounded by this knowledge and frankly disgusted as well. Who kidnaps majestic beast just to hear it sing?

"Do to the soft and chilling nature of their voices a legend was weaved around them. An ice dragon's song can make a storm around them to lure freeze their prey. Or so it's said to go."
