Kai Hope is an Ice Dragon Slayer capable of great and terrible things. All his life, though, he has sought one thing: Acceptance. Now, in Fairy Tail, he has found that, and in Erza, he has found unbridled love. But to keep it, he must control the awesome power he holds. Some day it may be enough to rid the world of his greatest foe: his uncle, Acnologia.
Friendship and family are put to the test in this retelling of the original Fairy Tail, featuring a brand new Dragon Slayer and his flying cat friend.

Now he understands why he feels that way. Will they ever proclaim their love for each other before it's to late, or will they be left wondering 'what if...'
