Dragon Heart

The next day, Gray woke up early with his father shaking him to remind him of the meeting and it took him a moment to remember how important that day was. He was going to talk to the council before things got too out of hand and he was finally going to propose to Juvia.

Silver left to the Great Hall, leaving his son to prepare himself and Gray sat on his bed and looked towards his window and saw it get opened from outside by Avalanche, who gave him a dragon-version of a smile. The dragon was large enough to peek to the second-floor of his house. "Good morning to you too, Avalanche. Got a good night's sleep?" The dragon made an agreeable sound. "Good, we have a long day ahead of us. At least, I do, you will probably just laze around and eat fish." Avalanche snorted in annoyance and Gray chuckled. "Sorry, sorry."

Gray got up and stretched his muscles and looked for his shirt. "You know, if Juvia and I are getting married, we will need to move from here. I doubt my dad – or we – will be much comfortable here." He put his dark gray shirt on. "We could probably move to her house for a while but it's already small for just her as it is, imagine both of us and two dragons?" He found his pants and yawned while putting them. "My dad will probably want to build us a bigger, better house." He glanced at Avalanche, whose head was tilted, as if in question. "He'll want us to... have hatchlings soon." Ava cooed happily and Gray groaned. "Oh, not you too." He rolled his eyes. "Just because you go to get busy every year in Snoggletog, doesn't mean we want a clutch of babies every year."

Avalanche rolled his own eyes and grumbled as if to say 'stupid human doesn't understand life cycle'.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm the moron." Gray stomach grumbled, and he finally stood after putting his boots and he went through his chest of clothes to find the necklace he bought for Juvia all those months ago and put it on his pocket. "Come on, Avalanche. I hope dad didn't take everything he bought from Juvia to the Great Hall." His stomach grumbled even louder.

Gray went downstairs and found his father had left a small basket with sweet bread and he grabbed two before leaving the house, where Avalanche was already waiting for him.

Since he had been away for so long, he preferred to walk so he could greet people, Avalanche following him and the large dragon would stop from time to time because the berkian children would like to climb on him to slide down on his wing and being very patient, he granted their wishes for a moment while Gray smirked at it – at first sight Avalanche was scary but inside, was a big softie.

Gray entered the Great Hall and saw it was almost empty, safe from the council – at times, the doors were closed to the common people, so they could discuss important things – and Gray gulped. It was time.

"Good morning." He said to the men and women of the council and they all nodded. "Thank you for receiving me."

"Step forward, son." Silver said, using his 'chief voice', as Gray liked to call. Icepick, his father's Deadly Nadder sat behind his human and crooned happily when he saw Gray but then quiet down, knowing when to. "As the Heir of Berk, you asked for this meeting last night as a matter of utter importance."

"I did." Gray cleared his throat. "Since I am the Heir, I know it is my duty to inform the Council when I have decided something that will impact my life and my family line so now I am informing the council whom I am going to marry." Some of them started to whisper amongst themselves and Gray continued to speak. "I will marry Juvia Lockser."
