The Universal Dragonslayer (Fairy Tail x Male Reader)

Chapter 34: Dragons

Voices panic all around you. They were loud and boisterous. You couldn't make out much of what they were saying but bits and pieces could be understood.

??: What... hurt?

??: ... he fought...

??: Shes here... he... heal

??: Who... first.

You could feel yourself slip in and out. Your brain would listen in one moment and mute everything the next.

But you weren't in pain, in fact, you were rather comfortable. A constant flow of warm air made you feel like you were snuggled up beneath a blanket.

??: Wheres... Acno...

??: Don't... never saw...

??: Hurry!... They're here...

The ground you were laying on shook violently. The warm air became scorching hot. You tried to talk and open your eyes but not a single part of your body would respond.

Shouting echoes through your ears as bursts of magic push against an unknown energy.

??: We can't... stop her!

??: We will... must hide him...

??: I won't leave... fight

??: Be fine...

The strained voices were arguing while a struggle was going down. Between who or what was unknown.

You slip back into unconscious for a long period of time.

Time passes by and you gain sensation once more. The air around you was no longer warm, instead, it was cold. Very cold.

You twitch your fingers. Then your toes. Then the rest of your body.

Upon opening your eyes, you see no one. No people, no friends, no black creatures.

You were laying on the stone ground inside of an ill decorated room. It was devoid of any furniture or light sources apart from a window and a gaping hole in the wall.

As you lean up, you see scorch marks around the room. Scuff prints littered the ground.

You: What happened while I was out?

You try to get a grip on the situation.

You: Ok... I remember fighting the stone monster. Then it pulled me into it... then I had that really weird dream... was that even a dream?... Then I heard people talking.

You sit dumbfounded at all the thoughts running through your head.

You: ALL OF THIS IS CONFUSING THE HELL OUT OF ME!

You take a deep breath and stand up.

Your clothing, although shredded, was still intact. Ultear's cloak remained tightly wrapped around your waist.

You: Hmm... maybe I can pick up a scent.

You breathe in.

A faint aroma of decay warps into your nostrils. It was enough to make you gag.

You: IT SMELLS HORRIBLE! But... it's all I've got to go on.

You take another breath. The pungent smell hits you again but you bare through it and follow the scent trail to the hole in the wall.
