THE DRAGON'S FURY

ZERO

THIRD POV
"Mage... Killer?" Natsu asked. "Mhm. But as years passed, his name was changed, which to this present we call him the "Blood Parasite", young man" the old man exclaims.

"But why is he called Blood Parasomething?? Did something happen??" Natsu asks, raising an eyebrow. "After years, more and more mages began to disappear, and what he did was more terrifying and shocking" he explains.

"He was called that name because of how he drinks a mage's blood and make it his own power itself. And because of how many mages he had killed, he became stronger and stronger, resulting it to being the fourth strongest mage" the old man continued.

"That's crazy..." Natsu says, recalling what the old man said about Zero drinking blood. "See? I told you this library ain't that shabby inside" the old man winks. "Ya got that gramps" Natsu grins, the duo laughing.

"By the way, about END, do you know anything about him??" Natsu asks. "END?? Not much, only the rumours of him being Zeref's brother" the old man answers, thinking of something.

"Really?? That's it??" Natsu frowns, rubbing the back of his head. "Oh wait, I think I have the book. Wait a minute" the old man says as he leaves and goes to another shelf.

Searching for a certain book, a dusty one caught his eye and picked it up, returning back to where Natsu is. Zerton quietly listening, with Happy reading on a random book.

"Here is where Zeref's legends are... Now lets see here...." he says as he opens the book, looking for a certain page. He then stopped and showed Natsu the page.

"It is still uncertain if END is alive or dead, some may say he is just hiding out there somewhere or just missing" he says as Natsu reads the book page.

"It's not yet clarified if he really related to the Immortal Black Mage?? Wait... he disappeared the day the Acnologia and Zero fought Zeref??" Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"That was the day that's still mysterious and dark until today. So only rumours were spread about it. Only the ones who were there would truly know about the truth" the old man sighs.

"I see.... Thanks kind old man" Natsu grins, handing the book back to him. "Not at all, it was great of me to talk to a lively youngster interested in ancient history" the old man chuckles.

"Now now, thanks for everything. But we really need to get moving" Zerton suddenly speaks up. "That's too bad then, I wanted to talk more with you" the old man sighs.

"Don't worry kind old man, I'll come back sometime" Natsu grins as they bid goodbyes to each other. "Man that was tense" Natsu stretches. "I loved his books" Happy smiles.

"Salamander??" the three heard a voice and turned around, seeing Gajeel and Lily in their sight.

"Eh???"
