Dragon Prince

Chapter 7

Jambo fellow readers.

A few people have asked about the secrecy of the Magic and Dragon communities.

The answer is this: the world of magic is hidden from the world at large, for reasons I will explain later, Lucy and Levy are both currently in the dark about magic, the rest of the main cast isn't.

There are two magic groups in this story, dragons and regular mages.

There are plenty of people who fit into those two categories, but we'll get to them later.

For now, enjoy.

Natsu's friends were merciless.

You'd think that he would be used to it by now, he'd only known them all his life, and therefore had plenty of examples to prove this.

Like the time that Gray put sugar in all the salt shakers in the caf... and told everyone but Natsu. (Sugar does not belong in fire-breath chili!)

Or there were the times (yes, as in plural.) that Gajeel put itching powder in his anything. Anything, from his gym shorts, to his book bag. on occasion his food, though Natsu repeatedly kicked his ass for that one so he didn't do it often.

Or the time a drunken Cana had drawn on his face while he slept in study hall, in permanent marker. He'd gone the rest of the day with "STUID" written diagonally across his left eye. (Evidently drunk Cana couldn't spell... Not that normal Cana was much better.)

Or the time that Lisanna convinced Wendy that it would be a great idea to put those annoying little pop-it-fire-cracker things (the ones that you throw on the ground at the fourth of July) ...everywhere he went!

Under the rim of the toilet seat, taped to the soles of his shoes, beneath loose floorboards, filled his locker with the little shits, so that they fell onto the floor and surrounded his ass. At lunch, he double checked all his food... And still missed one in his burger! But the worst was when he got home. In an attempt to gain some solace, he ran straight for his room, and slammed the door behind him...

...only to have eighty-seven (he counted!) micro explosions occur in his wake.

He ended up torching his bed in both an act of frustration, and to make sure that there weren't any hidden in it too.

It honestly wasn't an accident as a result of his being startled by the noise, but no one would ever believe him about that.

Those were his friends and family. He loved them to death, but they were just cruel. And he was very aware of it.

So, he really wasn't all that shocked when they started ooing, and aweing over him and Lucy, and giving him advice about relationships.

He started to get worried when they began suggesting wedding venues though.

"Guys! It totally has to be in the guild hall!" Lisanna said, after they had been on the subject for at least five minutes.

"Oh, my gosh...", Wendy started.
