《Legend of the Azure Dragon Slayer- Fairy Tail Fanfic》 1 Massacre Year X768, Kingdom of Fiore Kakuna Village, a respected town in the Kingdom of Fiore. The reason for that was because the Head of the Village was a respected member of the council. He was one of the people who actually did some work in the council rather than just sit back and watch the drama. There was not a single one in the council who had a problem with him, his name was Hansuke Ozutsuki. Hansuke Ozutsuki was a man on his thirties, his build was rather average with little dark skin tone. He had just returned back to the village from a Council Meeting, after coming back, he took a glass of water from his wife as he glanced at his young son. His son was two years old but the mysterious thing was that being around him got everyone relaxed. It was like they were recharged of the energy they used. Hansuke Ozutsuki wasn''t sure of the reason for it but he prayed that it wouldn''t be anything bad for his son. He had heard of infants dying due to the excess magic energy, so he was quite worried about him. It is because their bodies are not able to get used to the excess magic energy. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the glass dropping on the floor. He went to the kitchen and saw his wife, Rena Ozutsuki on her knees and picking up the glass on the floor. He went towards her and helped her pick up the glass then suddenly a loud scream startled them both. It was because it wasn''t their Son''s scream, no, it was the scream of a grown-up man. He heard him shouting, "NOO!!! PLEASE NOO!!" Suddenly everything turned silent for some moments before they heard a loud scream, "AHHHH.....WHY DID YOU KILL MY SON!!?? WHY!? I WILL KILL YOU!!" His scream woke up Shun Ozutsuki that was comfortably sleeping in the house. He rubbed his eyes as he loudly asked for his request, "fwather, plwease stay silente, I am slewping¡­" He once again fell asleep before he woke up as he heard a loud shriek of a Women, it was so loud that even he knew that something bad was happening. Hansuke Ozutsuki called out for his guards, "Guards!! Come Here!!" Two Grown Up men came in front of him and asked, "Lord, your orders!" Hansuke had a cold and calm expression on his face as he questioned them, "Just what is happening in this village?" One of the guards spoke, "Lord, a cult for reviving Zeref has entered the Village, the other guards are intercepting the cult members and preventing them from killing the villagers." Hansuke Ozutsuki was surprised as he heard that, he couldn''t understand why would the Zeref''s cult enter this village. Why would they start killing the villagers? Just what did they do? He had read a lot about the Black Wizard, some said that he was a monster who had made many demons so that he could rule the world. Some said that he could kill people as easily as eating pie and no Wizard was his match but it was said to be 400 years ago. He didn''t know how much of the rumors were true or lies but he did know that wherever Zeref''s name was mentioned, it wasn''t a piece of good news. He stared at the guards and commanded them, "Alright then, you both stay here. I shall go and intercept the Cult members." What could the guards say other than nodding their heads? Hansuke looked towards Rena and had an apologetic expression, "Stay well dear." Rena replied with some tears, "Same for you dear. Please be careful!" Hansuke gave her a bright grin as he stated, "You think I will die from these members. Don''t forget that I am a Lightning Mage, I can always run away." She nodded as she let him depart the house and picked up Shun Ozutsuki in her hands. Shun asked his mother in a curious tone, "Mother, why did father leave? Does he have some work to do?" Rena suppressed her sadness as she replied to him, "Yes, he has to go to a friends house." Shun''s expression remained curious as he asked his next question, "Then why are you crying mother!?" ~~ Hansuke released yet another bolt of Lightning as he threw away another cult member. He was astonished that such a large group had come in their small village, hearing from the guards, he had thought that it was just a cult of 20-30 people but here he was watching atleast 200 people coming in the town and using their bizarre magic and killing the villagers. Suddenly, he felt a threat and quickly jumped away from that position and a loud explosion occurred at that place. He saw a man grinning towards him. That man had a lean body with some good muscles¡­ Hansuke asked the man with a bit of a curious expression, "Why are you doing this?! Why are you causing a massacre in this village? Just what have we done to you?" The man had an evil smile on his face as he said, "You all are sacrifices. Necessary Sacrifices for the revival of Zeref-Sama." Suddenly, he turned his finger upside down and an explosion occurred behind him destroying the whole house. Hansuke was angry, shocked and dumbfounded as he saw the whole house being destroyed by just a flip of his finger. He made a Lightning Ball in his hand and threw it towards him but it suddenly exploded before reaching the man. The man started to crazily laugh as he said, "You are a failure as a Wizard." Suddenly, two guards tried to shove their spears on that man''s body but before they could get near him, he exploded their innards and their blood splashed all over the place. Hansuke was angered but he was also scared, scared for his family. He knew that if he left this man as it is, he would destroy the whole village, along with his family. He let out a deep breath as he decided to kill this man right then and there, he knew that killing was banned in the Kingdom but there were limits to what he could take. He would rather be a murderer than witnessing the death of his family. He suddenly disappeared from his position as he used the Lightning Magic in his feet. This was a magical technique. Using lightning under his feet, he could increase his speed by a few times. He re-appeared just a meter away from the man and tried to electrocute the man while concentrating a huge amount of Lightning Magic in his hand. It was known as Lightning Strike... His speed was so fast that the man wasn''t able to follow him at all but still he jumped back so as to maintain some distance between them, otherwise, if he was near the place where the explosion was going to take place then he would also take some damage. He snapped his finger as a loud explosion occurred at the place where Hansuke re-appeared, it was but it seemed as if Hansuke dodged that explosion by moving away at the last second. This time, he re-appeared right in front of the man and hit him with his Lightning Strike! The man fell down while holding his stomach as he felt unbearable pain in his abdomen. This wasn''t all that happened, the Lightning took effect and the man let out a loud scream, "AHH....." because of being electrocuted. Suddenly, Hansuke felt something penetrating from his back. The sudden pain caused him to turn his face, he saw a man with a Fishing Rod and an Evil Smile on his face. The man spoke with a delightful expression, "Such a good man you are¡­ I always wanted to kill this Explosive Idiot but couldn''t because of our magics. Now, sleep!!" 2 Taking away Shun He suddenly pulled his fishing rod and his heart was removed from his body, this magic was Fishing Magic, it could even fish the organs if the aim was perfect. Hansuke felt darkness clouding in front of his eyes and had an apologetic expression on his face as he had a single thought ''Forgive me Rena, Shun¡­ I couldn''t stay beside you. Live!!'' ~~ After 5 minutes when Hansuke went out of the house, Rena heard the guards fighting someone. She was scared if the guards would be able to hold on until her husband returned. Her fears were turned true when she saw two unfamiliar men coming inside the house. One guy had a sword while the other guy had a spear. Their eyes brightened as they saw her, the guy with the spear had a perverted expression on his face as he turned and asked the other guy, "Hohoho...A beauty. Looks like we should have some fun before sacrificing her. Don''t you agree, brother?" There was only a flat expression on his face as he stared at the Blue Haired beauty. He flatly rejected his proposition, "No! Do not forget that we have to kill this village and move to the next one for the sacrifices. We do not have time to waste." While they were talking, Rena was preparing her Water Spell, Water Bomb. As the Water Bomb formed in front of Rena, she threw it toward the cults. The water Bomb exploded in the middle of the cult members and splashed all over the place. The two men were not an exception either and were caught in it. Rena quickly picked up Shun and went out of the town where she felt both of them to come out of the house. The guy with the Spear was quite mad at that and threw his Spear towards her, she used her Water Magic to intercept it but suddenly the Spear multiplied into many spears and hit her. Shun was miraculously saved as his face was between the two spears that had hit his mother. He glared at the men as his body started to shine brightly and he started to levitate in the sky. Suddenly, the glowing stopped as he fell down on the ground. This was incredibly mysterious as the two men were thinking that something would happen to them and were quite cautious. When they felt that nothing was happening, they turned towards each other and exclaimed, "Fucking shit!! Scared me for nothing! I will kill this boy!" They moved forwards as they suddenly heard a Loud Roar which startled everyone in the village. It was the Roar of a Dragon, the intimidating beast which had mysteriously disappeared from the continent. Everyone had a single thought going in their heads ''Just what has called out this Dragon.'' The Dragon was soon visible for everyone in the village, it was a Large Dragon with Azure Blue Scales that were shining in the sunlight. It had an intimidating face and figure with a large body. Every single person in the village felt themselves freezing in fear in front of this Dragon. The Dragon loudly asked a question, "Who was the one who had called out for me!?" It''s voice was too much for some cult members and they staggered back, they didn''t want to deal with this dragon. Suddenly, Shun started to cry as he witnessed his mother being critically injured due to being hit by the spears. He was the only one who wasn''t paying attention to the Dragon and was instead pulling the spears with his full strength but he wasn''t able to budge it a centimeter. The Dragon curiously glanced towards that young boy and felt a strong magic power contained within that boy. It could also feel a strong and comfortable magic and also a faint glow on his body. It knew that the magic that had called out for him was this young boy''s magic. It turned towards the two men standing in front of Shun and Rena and simply released it''s light breath which incernated both men. Rena slightly turned her head towards the Dragon, mysteriously, she wasn''t being intimidated by the Dragon''s appearance and opened her mouth as she let out, "Dragon-san, I request you not to kill my son¡­" The Dragon spoke in its calm and gruff voice, "So, this child is yours human¡­ Alright then, I shall not kill him." It agreed so easily because it wasn''t like it liked to kill the humans. It looked towards the young shun and ordered him, "Turn towards me boy!!" Shun ignored the dragon''s orders, right now, he felt that it was more important to pull out the spears from his mother''s body than to listen to the orders of a Lizard. The Dragon had a tick mark on its face as it saw a young child completely ignoring its presence. It thought ''Even that Black Wizard, Zeref himself wouldn''t ignore my presence and this young boy, not only is he not oppressed by my aura, it is also saving that human from being oppressed by my aura. Just who is he!!?'' It released it''s prideful voice once again with a little anger mixed in its voice, "Turn towards me boy!!" Rena could sense the anger in it''s voice and knew that her son would suffer the consequences if he didn''t turn towards the Dragon. She had a bitter smile on her face as she spoke, "Little Shun, turn towards the Dragon." Shun refused to do so but she urged him to look towards the Dragon¡­ After multiple times of being urged by his mother, he did turn towards the Dragon and glanced towards it with his Bright and Round Azure Blue Eyes. He was astonished to see the Dragon but that was all. He wasn''t scared or intimidated by it''s presence and then once again turned towards his mother. The Dragon could feel his magic energy and knew that the boy would most probably die in an year if he couldn''t control his magic energy. It also felt a strange connection with Shun and a thought entered his mind. Thought of his own Dragon Slayer! His fellow dragons had their own Dragon Slayer and he also had hope of passing down it''s own magic, it''s own inheritance. It spoke with it''s prideful voice, "Listen human, I have decided to adopt this boy as my son¡­" Rena was astonished but she released a weak smile as she let out, "Just take car..." Rena couldn''t finish his sentence before he felt strength leaving her body. The Dragon picked up Shun who started crying at that scene. The Dragon took him to a quiet place which was surrounded by empty mountains with dense forests. Shun cried all the way as he remembered his mother''s death¡­ He felt angered, hurt and broken at this moment. He wanted revenge! His eyes burned with fury as he remembered that scene. Suddenly, he heard the Dragon''s calm voice, "Do not think about that very much¡­ Death is a part of Life. Without Death, it''s not life, it''s a curse. Your parents death just came a little early¡­" Shun couldn''t comprehend a single world but he was quite curious about the place he was in right now. Suddenly, the Dragon touched his head and he fell down asleep while having nightmares about that scene. The Dragon glanced towards his sleeping expression and had a single thought going in it''s head ''My time is nearly up, I should only be able to survive for 10 years at the maximum, I have to train this human well enough so that he wouldn''t let my legacy die out with him.'' The next day, Shun woke up and found himself in an unfamiliar forest, he was startled when he saw the Dragon near him and remembered the events from yesterday. His expression turned sad as he remembered about his mother. 3 Shuns Training Before Shun started to cry, the Dragon growled at him as it stated, "Shut up! I didn''t save you so that you could cry in sadness. If you are so sad then remember this feeling, remember that scene, burn it in your heart and take revenge." Shun heard it''s words and held his tears, he didn''t let a single one of them flow out. After he was slightly calm, he wondered, "Where am I? What are you? I want to go back to the village. Father, where is father?" In the end, he was only a two years old child so it couldn''t be helped. The Dragon nearly flipped when it heard "What are you?" It was about to reply that his face flashed into realization and jumped back with a shriek, "Y-you, you are a giant Lizard!" The Dragon''s expression was full of disbelief, he couldn''t even think that the noble itself was actually called a Lizard. Seeing the disbelief expression on its face, Shun thought that he was right and puffed out his small chest, "I knew it! Mother told me all about you. I am not scared of you, just an overgrown blue lizard." Suddenly, the Dragon had an urge to destroy something but it knew that it couldn''t afford to waste it''s power and remained calm as it spoke, "Enough of the jokes. I am what you humans call a Dragon. Right now, you are in a forest. And no, you cannot go back to your Village. It is already destroyed." Shun stayed silent for some minutes as he tried to comprehend all that in his little head, the Dragon asked one last thing, "Your Name is¡­" Shun heard it''s words and lightly smiled as he stated, "Shun¡­ My name is Shun!" The Dragon grinned as he listened to his name and declared, "You shall be my child from now on. I shall make you the fiercest Dragon Slayer in the history!!" It''s words resounded far and wide and some birds flew up as they heard the prideful voice of the Dragon¡­ Shun heard it''s words and felt his blood rush, he felt a mysterious excitement within his body. He nodded his little head as the Dragon smiled in his direction, a mighty voice reached the ears of Shun, "My name is Zagnivol, the Azure Dragon!" "Let this Flame enter your body, do not resist it otherwise it would consume you!" Shun didn''t understand the reason but he relaxed his body and let the beautiful Azure Flame enter his body. Suddenly, he felt a large amount of strange energy inside his body¡­ He felt pain, pain at his body being burned from the inside, pain due to his cells being burned by that flame without a care. He felt the urge to resist but the Dragon instructed not to resist. As a child he decided to trust the Giant Blue Lizard... He released the control from his body and his body fell down without any power in it. Slowly and slowly his whole body turned black as every single cell inside his body was burned off by the Azure Blue Flame. Zagnivol was astonished that not a single scream was released from the boy''s mouth, he was holding back by trying his best. He wondered if he himself could take such an unbearable pain and not make a single sound in response. The answer was obviously no. He couldn''t but he had seen a Miracle happen in front of his eyes. He softly spoke, "Time for you to be reborn my son¡­!" It released another Azure Blue Flame but this time it was a lighter coloured Blue Flame. It cleared away the black cells that covered Shun''s body and suddenly started to mass produce large amount of Cells that contained Dragon''s energy. Shun''s body was like it was releasing a new sense of life, his life force also continued to get stronger. His every single organ had evolved and had become much better than before. Zagnivol looked at his tired expression, and he declared "Rest now!! Because your hell will start from tomorrow¡­" Actually, there was another reason, it was because his body had just evolved and it wouldn''t be good for him to get used to it. And sleep was the best way for now¡­ ~~~5 Years Later~~ A young boy was sitting on top on top of a cliff with a calm expression on his face, he was thinking about his life since he met up Zagnivol. In these years, he learned one thing, the Dragon was ruthless creature. Everyday his life was anything but peaceful. When he had turned 7 years old, he was asked by Zagnivol to go and climb the tallest mountain in the area within a 3 hours. The problem for Shun was that, the mountain was too steep, he would step one step forwards and fall two steps backwards. Sometime, he would also fall down and earn extra injuries along the way, he would also be trained by the Dragon. He could light the Azure Flame very easily but controlling it was quite difficult. The power inside his Azure Flame was also incomparable to the power in Zagnovil''s Azure Flame. Regardless of all that, he could also feel himself growing as a stronger person, he could also feel improvements that motivated him along the way. He could now control the fire as he pleased and could also use all the basic techniques of the Azure Fire Dragon Slayer. The techniques in which he had some problems were the Secret Arts, they were quite difficult for him as he couldn''t release such strong energy required for the Secret Arts. He had complained thousand of times to Zagnivol that he was still a kid but he would always receive a reply, "The magic comes from the feelings, try harder¡­" He was half assed in terms of performing them so he was quite happy with his progress. As he glancing down towards that he saw a Black Haired Man moving towards the Zagnivol¡­ He thought ''Does that person have a death wish? Does he not know that this is a dragon?'' He rushed towards the black haired person as he called out to him, "Hey, you¡­ Don''t go near it." The Black haired guy turned towards as he was surprised to hear the voice of a human near him, he saw that it was a young boy of 7-8 years old. He has short Blue haris, neat and tidy and a small and cute face. He raised his hands as he urged him, "Don''t come near me¡­" Shun was confused after hearing his words but he ignored them as he neared the black haired guy. Suddenly, the Black Haired guy''s eyes widened as a Dark Magic was released from his body. He whispered, "No...I don''t want to kill him. No!" he exclaimed in a powerful voice but the Magic didn''t listen to him and continued to release the Dark Magic from his body. It was so strong that it destroyed everything on contact, the trees, grass. As soon as that Dark Magic neared Shun, and suddenly a mysterious Azure Aura was released from his body and it clashed with the Dark Aura and dispersed it! Feeling this Dark Aura and the Azure Aura, Zagnivol opened his eyes, he knew who had come! Meanwhile, the black haired man glanced towards Shun as he asked him, "Who...Who are you?" His question caused Shun to lightly smile, he answered him, "Shun...My name is Shun. The Azure Dragon Slayer!" HIs words caused the Black haired man to experience some shock, he didn''t think that Zagnivol would actually decide to have his own Dragon Slayer. Shun was also curious about the name of this stranger and asked him with a curious expression, "What is your name mister¡­?" The black haired man gave out a small smile as he replied. "Zeref¡­!" 4 Shadebrook Town "So, you have come here Zeref¡­" Zagnivol''s old and powerful voice was resounded in the area. Both Shun and Zeref turned their heads towards that direction and saw the Azure Blue Dragon approaching them. "It has been a long time since we met, isn''t that right, Zeref?" Zagnivol had a small smile on his face as he saw the greatest and the strongest wizard of the world. Zeref also smiled as he nodded, "Indeed, it has been too long since we met. Perhaps 400 years already... " Zeref glanced towards Shun as he commented, "So, you also got yourself a Dragon Slayer¡­" To which Zagnivol shrugged as he commented, "I just took pity on a child, that''s all." A tick mark formed on top of Shun''s head as he added his own comments, "Took pity, more like kidnapped me." Zagnivol innocently whistled as he uttered, "I don''t know what you are talking about¡­" Zeref smiled at their exchange, he remembered his own brother Natsu must have also been like this. He waited for the day when he would meet his brother Natsu once again¡­ Shun had some questions about Zeref and inquired Zagnivol, "Who is he? Is he your old friend?" Zagnivol started to speak without caring about Zeref''s permission, "He is the greatest magician among the humans. He isn''t really a friend but more like an acquaintance that I knew from long ago¡­" "Ohh¡­" He then turned towards Zeref with a doubtful expression, "Why did you come here? It shouldn''t be because you missed him, right?" Zeref just had that kind expression on his face as he nodded his head. Shun was surprised as he backed away while exclaming, "WHAAT!? YOU came back to meet him. I thought that you would play with me. I am bored of training with him now." Zeref heard his words and was astonished. ''Play with me, the Black Wizard, the mass murderer.'' Zeref shook his head in amusement as he turned towards the Zagnivol with a questioning gaze, "So, you have just trained him huh. You do know that he has to know how to behave around humans." Zagnivol grinned and showed off it''s white teeth, "Yea, I know that. But what can I do, it''s not like there are any humans around here." Zeref facepalmed as he heard that and thought in his own head ''There would be humans if you didn''t scare them away while monopolizing this whole place for yourself.'' Zagnivol coughed up as he knew what Zeref was thinking. He changed the topic by asking, "So, what should I do now?" Zeref put his hand under his chin as he spoke out loud, "How about bringing a human here?" Zagnivol straight out rejected it, "No, I don''t want to take care for another human. One is more than enough!" He seemed to really hate handling humans. Zeref just sighed before thinking for a different idea and suggested, "Then how about leaving Shun in a Human village, you can pick him up from that location after a month or so." Zagnivol had a single thought in his head ''FUCK!! Why didn''t I think of such an obvious way?'' He glanced towards Shun and smiled, he admitted, "Hm...You are right." He then declared, "Alright then, we shall leave for a Human Town right now. Get on my back Shun!" Shun obeyed as he jumped on Zagnivol''s back and took off the ground with a great amount of speed. He tightly grasped Zagnivol''s neck and felt unimaginable amount of wind striking his small body. He released some Azure Fire on his body as he burned off the Wind that was about to strike his body. It caused him to be comfortable while sitting on the Dragon¡­ With that speed, it took them about 3 hours to enter the Kingdom of Fiore. The reason Zagnivol entered this Kingdom once again was because this was the Kingdom from where he picked up Shun. He lowered it''s altitude and got down in a nearby forest. Shun jumped down on the ground and stared back at Zagnivol. Zagnivol just had a single thing to say, "Take care kiddo. Meet me here after one month¡­" With that it took a sharp turn and started to fly back but Shun noticed some teardrops flowing out of his eyes. He started to wave back at him as he caringly spoke, "You too Father...Take care." His voice drifted in the wind and he remained standing at that position for some time. While he was up in the sky, he had noticed a nearby town, that town was Shadebrook. He went inside the town and saw every single one of them having a happy expression on their faces. He saw some children holding onto their parents hands while dragging them towards the market. He was overwhelmed with the amount of happiness in the town, he also felt very relaxed while he was in this town. He was tired of the lonely life he lived in the Forest, he was happy with Zagnivol but he was bored there. Besides, he wouldn''t have to train here and would be able to enjoy for this one month. He had a small pouch with some jewels in it and was wondering why Zagnivol gave it to him along the way. When he asked, he got a reply, "You will know when you are in the town." His stomach grumbled as he wanted to eat something now. He heard someone saying, "Let''s go and eat some food." and started to follow them quietly. Eventually, he reached the market where he was about to go in the restaurant that a lady stopped him at the door. Shun nervously looked towards her and had an adorable expression on his face, he asked her in his cute voice, "Big Sister, can I go inside and eat something? I am starving¡­" She looked towards him and exclaimed, "KAWAI~" She kneeled down and pinched his cheeks as she expression, "You are so cute. Where are your parents? It isn''t a good to leave them behind like this." Shun had a sad expression on his face as he lowered his head, "My parents are dead big sister. My adopted father left me here¡­" The lady had an apologetic expression as she heard his words, she didn''t think that she was making him remember about those sad memories. She smiled towards him which caused him to be mesmerized in it. She voiced out, "Alright then, come inside. I will pay for your food for this one time¡­" Shun nodded as he didn''t think that the town had such nice people in it. He entered the restaurant and sat on the table, the lady gave him the menu and asked for his choice, "So, what would you like to have?" Shun was blank for some moments before he read the menu and didn''t understand what those items were. He stared blankly at the lady and sadly replied, "I don''t know a single item...I have never eaten anything. Please order anything that you think is good." The lady quickly realized that she was asking a young orphan boy for choices. He seemed as if he had never ate anything from the menu and decided to let him eat the most delicious things in the world. The first thing that came was Chocolate Ice-cream, then the Chocolate Cake and the Chocolate Shake. After hearing her order, Shun did realize one thing, this lady loved chocolate. He wondered if it was as tasty as hearing about it from her. It took about 10 minutes for them to receive the order and Shun''s eyes widened. 5 Meeting Mirajane He had never seen such an attractive looking food in his entire life, he picked up the Chocolate Ice-cream and ate it in one go. It was funny seeing a 7 year old boy eating the ice-cream in one go. When the lady saw him munching the whole ice-cream in one go, her expression changed as she rebuked him, "Noo...Don''t eat the ice-cream in one go. You have to enjoy the taste. Like this¡­" She showed him by licking the cream of the ice-cream. She lightly shivered as she licked it and felt it''s taste, a small waterfall started to flow out of her eyes as she said, "So good¡­ I absolutely love it!" Shun knew that he shouldn''t stay together with this crazy lady and quietly left his place and ran out of the restaurant. When he got out of the restaurant, he crashed into a small boy and threw him back. He didn''t to it intentionally and turned towards the boy and apologised in a instant, "I apologise, I wasn''t watching where I was going." He saw that the boy was looking towards him with some fear in his eyes. That boy had short and messy white hairs. He looked to be hurt and Shun extended his hand, "Hold my hand and stand up." The white haired boy was suspicious but he grabbed his hand and got up. "I apologise once again, I didn''t intentionally crash into you¡­ What is your name?" He was curious about the identity of the young boy and asked him. The young boy was nervous but he replied after he was being stared by Shun, "E-Elfman S-Strauss and it''s alright. I also didn''t watch where I was going." Shun nodded as he heard his words and had a worried expression on his face, "Did you get hurt?" Elfman raised his arm and Shun saw a bruise on his elbow. He felt a guilty that he was the reason due to his bruise and proposed in return, "Elfman, I don''t feel good about leaving you here. How about I lead you back to your house?" Elfman raised his hands as he exclaimed, "NO!" He lowered his voice and spoke, "There is no need for that. I am fine¡­ Alright I have to go, so bye." With that, Elfman left him alone, Shun had a smile on his face as he started to follow Elfman. He had already decided to follow him so Elfman couldn''t stop him even if he wanted. He was a bit surprised that Elfman was walking towards an Orphanage, he surprised him, "So, this is where you live huh¡­" Elfman was surprised by hearing that familiar voice, he revolved and saw Shun walking towards him. He was surprised that Shun was following him back to this Orphanage. He didn''t seem like the other kids that would bully him. His Azure Blue Eyes contained genuine care, he felt a bit happy that someone other than his sisters was there who cared for him. Shun asked him, "So, can I come inside?" Elfman nodded and informed him, "Meet my sisters too. They are very nice." Shun nodded as he heard this and just prayed that they weren''t crazy like that lady he met back there. He entered the orphanage and noticed that it was extremely quiet. With his extraordinary senses he could hear that every child was sleeping right now. He followed Elfman to his room and Elfman knocked on the door. After knocking it 3 times, the door opened with a creaking voice as a white haired girl appeared on the other side of the door. She was around the same age as that of Shun, perhaps an year older. She had long white hair which were down to her back, her dark blue coloured eyes and a cute face. Meanwhile, the girl was also observing the young boy¡­ His short and neat Azure Blue coloured hairs, with those blue colored eyes that were as deep as the ocean. HIs innocent and attractive face caused her hold her blush¡­ she interrogated Elfman, "Who is this boy?" Elfman lowered his head as he spoke, "We both crashed into each other and he apologised and followed me back here." "Ohh¡­.Alright then, come inside the room. But be quiet, Lisanna is still sleeping." She requested out of them, Elfman nodded as he heard her words, he didn''t want to wake his younger sister. Meanwhile, Shun asked her, "What is your name¡­" The white haired girl smiled as she stated, "Mirajane Strauss... you can call me Mira." Shun brightly smiled that seemed to uplift her spirit, "Alright Mira!" He quietly entered her room along with Elfman as he saw a young girl of around 7 years old sleeping on the bed. He quietly went towards Mirajane and whispered her, "Do you live here alone? Don''t you have parents?" He found himself staring at a familiar sad expression Mirajane''s face as she replied to him, "Our parents died some years ago." Shun lowered his head as there was an absolute silence for some moments¡­ He added, "My parents also died when I was 2 years old." Mirajane gasped as she heard this, she didn''t think that his parents have also been dead. Strangely enough, she found herself being comforted as she heard that¡­ She put her hand on top of his shoulder as she comforted him, she knew the pain of losing parents. It was unimaginable¡­ Shun looked at their room and saw that it was pretty nice as he had always lived in the forest for as long as he could remember. He complimented the room, "It is pretty nice." Mirajane didn''t detect him joking and took his compliment, she knew that it was one of the worst rooms in the town but from the looks of it, he didn''t stay in this town. She asked him, "Where did you stay for all these years?" Shun replied her question with an obvious look, "I lived in a forest, it was pretty bad as compared to this place." Mirajane was surprised, she didn''t think that he had lived in the forest for all these years. She decided then and there, "From now on, you are going to live with us. Alright¡­" Shun nodded as he stared at her bossy appearance. Shun didn''t really have any problem as he thought that the bed was large enough for all four of them besides he could also sleep down on the floor. He slept on the ground all the time so there wasn''t any problem. It was the Evening time and the night was just about to start. Mirajane glanced at Shun and asked him, "Come and sleep with me. Elfman will sleep with Lisanna." Shun didn''t have any problem, he went near her bed and laid down. He closed his eyes as he tried to sleep on this comfortable bed, he didn''t know that there was something so comfortable that could be used to sleep. He didn''t know that Mirajane wasn''t sleeping, instead, she was looking towards him. She didn''t know what this feeling of comfort was, she had never felt this feeling of comfort around anyone except him. She put her arms around his body as she felt her fair skin touch his robust body. He didn''t have a reaction to this and she was completely glued to him. It would take a large amount of force to let her be separated from Shun. Meanwhile, Shun was having a dream about controlling the Azure Flames. 6 Playing Shun woke up and felt some weight on top of his body, he opened his eyes and saw that Mira was completely glued to him with both her hands snaked around his body. He shook her a little, "Mira, wakey-wakey! Wake up now!!" Mira grumbled something before she opened her eyes, she saw her own position of sleeping and blushed deep red. She quickly pulled back her arms and behaved as if nothing had happened. She turned her head towards the window and saw that it was day time, they had nearly overslept. She turned towards her siblings and woke them up. Lisanna woke up and she was surprised to see a boy in their room. She greeted him with a smile, "Hello, my name is Lisanna." Shun saw her smile was incredibly pretty and cute, he replied back, "My name is Shun¡­" With that he shook Lisanna''s little hand. His stomach grumbled once again as he knew that he would have to have some food to eat. He looked towards Mira and informed her of his plan, "Mira, I will go out in the market to eat something. Do you all want to come with me?" Mira had a sad expression on her face, "We don''t have enough jewels to eat much food. I¡­" Shun was confused as he heard the word jewels, he remembered that Zagnivol did give him a pouch that had many jewels. He showed his pouch to Mira and asked her, "Are the Jewels enough?" Mira held his pouch and felt some weight from it, she didn''t think that he would have many jewels and opened the pouch. She was almost blinded by the light reflected from the jewels. She didn''t know how many they were but on an average estimate, they should be around 10 Million Jewels. She knew that in this amount, they could buy their own house and live a life of luxury. She heard him asking in a worried tone, "Are these enough?" She nodded in a rush as she excitedly spoke, "More than enough!" Shun opened his mouth, "Oh¡­ Ok then." Mira did have a doubt and she asked him, "Can we use your jewels to eat together with you?" She was worried as to what his answer was going to be. She knew that she couldn''t blame him if he said no, these were his jewels afterall. Shun immediately replied, "Of course, I just want that we can eat enough food with this amount." Mirajane heard his answer and felt a soft and comfortable feeling in her heart, she didn''t think that he wouldn''t mind them using his jewels. Lisanna listened to their conversation and cheered, "YAY!! We will have something nice to eat in a while." Shun smiled as he saw her cheering up and added, "Of course, let''s go now. I am starving." As if on cue, his stomach grumbled letting the Strauss Sibling to laugh at his expense. Shun was embarrassed but he was also happy, he felt really relaxed here. He even had some friends here now. All four of them went towards the market, they entered a restaurant and ate some food. Shun ate that food for the first time in his life so he started eating like a madman to which he was rebuked by Mirajane. She told his to eat a little modestly to which he replied, "What''s that?" Mirajane showed him how to eat and Shun felt that it was a long procedure before he could even eat his own food. But he obeyed her and started eating in an organized manner. After food, Lisanna dragged all three of them to the playground where they started to play with each other. Shun sat on the swing, Lisanna gave it a push and it started to swing back and forth¡­ Shun was excited as he felt the swing going back and forth, it was super fun. After swinging for 10 minutes, he jumped from the Swing in a style and landed on the ground. He looked towards Mira and asked her, "Why don''t you sit on it too?" Mira was about to reject him but she suddenly felt him holding her hands and putting her on the swing and pushing it. The swing started to move in a to and fro motion, she was having fun, fun that she had never experienced with anyone other than her siblings. She turned towards Shun and gave him a sweet smile which caused him to have a sweet feeling in his heart. They all were playing that suddenly 3 kids appear in the park and look towards Mira and her siblings with an arrogant expression. One of them shouted with his young yet prideful voice, "You all, get out of this place. These are our Swings." Shun was confused by their words, he asked them, "Are these yours?" Mira looked towards Shun and answers him, "No, they aren''t theirs. These swings are set up for every child to play but they bully us and do not let us play on the swings." Shun nodded as he heard her, he thought ''So these are bullies¡­'' He stepped forwards in front of Mira and other and informed them in his commanding voice, "Get out of here before I throw you out of the place." One of them had a prideful expression as he heard that. He started to laugh and then spoke to Shun, "You kid, get out of here. You are just orphans, you don''t have any parents, nobody will come to save you." Shun simply lit up his Azure flame on top of his finger and informed them, "Get out of here before I throw my flames at you¡­" This did intimidate the kids, they were just normal people, they didn''t know how to use magic and didn''t even know what magic was. They were scared of the flames and quickly ran away from the park. Suddenly, Shun felt someone hugging him from behind and saw that it was Mira. He wondered why she was behaving like this and asked her, "What happened Mira? Are you alright?" Mira nodded her head. She hugged him because she was charmed by his appearance in trying to protect her. She was the one who would always step up for her siblings but this was the first time someone had stepped up for her. She wanted to thank him and express her gratitude. Lisanna saw Mira hugging Shun and let out a teasing voice, "Big Sister loves Shun~" Her words got Mira to start blushing, she glanced towards the mischievous expression on Lisanna''s face and started to charge towards her while Lisanna fled from her position. Shun laughed as he saw this and noticed Elfman looking down with a glum expression on his face. Shun approached him and asked him, "What happened Elfman? Why are you looking down with a glum expression on your face?" Elfman was surprised that he asked him such a question and replied back, "It''s because I am weak. I can''t even protect my sisters. I am a failure as a brother." Shun simply smiled at his innocent words. He looked towards the sky and spoke his innermost feelings, "The time hasn''t come yet so why are you so sad. You think that you lack bravery, then those feelings wouldn''t even appear within you. Right now, let Mira take care of you, she is older and knows many things that you don''t know. Learn right now, and take care of her in the future." He grinned as he finished his words and added, "So, just relax. You will be fine¡­" Elfman heard his words and found that he felt much better than before, he was indeed too young to be thinking about protecting Mira and Lisanna. 7 Healing powers But he promised himself that he would protect them in the future, nobody would be able to hurt them in his presence. He wouldn''t ever let them be bullied. He looked towards Shun and saw him brightly smiling as he also started to play with them. They ate and playedwith each other, as time passed on, their feelings towards each other continued to grow stronger. Shun and Mira were nearly inseparable now, if Shun was not near her, Mira didn''t feel right. She felt as if she was missing something important. The same was the case for Shun, he stayed together with her and the feelings between them continued to grow stronger and stronger. Even Elfman and Lisanna could see that those two liked each other and didn''t intervene. Elfman felt that if anyone was worthy of his sister then that was Shun. He wouldn''t let anyone else have Mira. As time passed on, Shun felt an unbearable sadness take over him, he knew that the one month time that Zagnivol had given him was almost up. He was staring at the starry sky and felt someone else approach him. He turned his head and saw that it was Mira. She looked towards his face and saw worry etched onto it, she asked him with a worried expression on her face, "What happened Shun? Are you fine?" Shun didn''t reply for some moments, he spoke with some sadness in his voice, "I apologise Mira. I would have to leave today¡­" Mira''s eyes widened as she heard that, she didn''t understand why. Why would he want to leave? Did he not have fun with them? There was only a single question, "Why?" Shun bitterly smiled as he heard her, he told her, "I really had fun with all of you but I will have to leave. Please understand Mira¡­" He suddenly turned his face so as to hide his own tears but Mira caught sight of his tears running down on his face. She was saddened by his departure but she tightly hugged him as she expressed, "Alright, I will let you go. But you will have to come back to me when you get the chance." Shun nodded his head excitedly, "Of course I will." With that he jumped down from the building and started to run towards the dense forest that surrounded the whole town. He disappeared into the darkness that shrouded the town right now. Mira''s tears started to fall down uncontrollably, she felt as if she had lost someone very important. Lisanna saw her sister crying and softly patted on her back as she spoke in her soft and comforting voice, "It''s alright Big Sister. He already promised to come back as soon as he can." What they didn''t know what Shun also crying as he was running towards the position from where Zagnivol was supposed to pick him up. IT started to rain heavily as if the heavens were also sad right now. The heavens couldn''t tolerate the sadness for this boy and cried heavily. Soon enough, he heard a familiar voice, the voice of Zagnivol''s wings fluttering. Zagnivol fluttered it''s wings for some time before it landed on the ground. He saw Shun crying and knew that he must have had great fun in this human world. But he knew that he would have to train him for some more time before his own time was up, he didn''t want his son to be helpless while fighting against someone. Shun stopped sobbing as he saw Zagnivol looking at him with those Big Black eyes. Shun wiped his tears and expressed his desire, "Let''s go father. I will complete the training. Definitely!!" HIs eyes contained a strange determination that wasn''t visible before, Zagnivol felt a little weird when he saw that determination. In these years, even though Shun had learned the Dragon Slayer Arts very quickly it wasn''t something legendary as his Pain resistance. But now, now he felt as if he was going to watch a miracle. This was what was different from before, the determination to learn. Before he was just learning the Dragon Slayer Art because Zagnivol was being a bit forceful. Shun''s cold Blue eyes were shining brightly in this darkness, the rain had completely drenched his whole body and he didn''t care about it at this moment. He jumped on top of Zagnivol''s back and remained standing as Zagnivol took off with it''s great speed. It took them 3 hours to return back to their location where they would train, Shun didn''t ask for food, he didn''t ask for anything and jumped down as he started to train his body. Zagnivol was a bit dumbfounded as to what has happened to him but he was happy at this change. He knew that if he trained like this then he would be able to achieve Dragon Force without that last resort. Shun continued to punch the rock till it broke down into pieces and then started to punch the other rocks around him. Zagnivol watched this happen with a slight smile as he felt as if this was a legend in making. He suddenly had a thought and ordered Shun, "Perform your Secret Art!" Shun turned around and let out a breath. He started to channel his Magic Energy and spoke, "Secret Art: Wrath of the Azure Dragon" Suddenly, the temperature of the place started to rise and Shun extended his hand as he released a small ball of fire in the air. It started to increase in size, soon it increased its size to that of a Basketball and suddenly it expanded to double the size before. It seemed as if that was the max power he could execute right now and directed it towards a Huge Rock. It was completely destroyed and was crushed into pieces. Shun turned towards Zagnivol and asked, "So, how was that?" Zagnivol looked surprised as he spoke without thinking at all, "Good, I am impressed that you can perform it to that level. Keep training this Art¡­" Shun nodded as that was what he planned to do, he was a bit tired because of the Magic energy required for the Secret Art. Zagnivol''s expression turned serious as it stated in it''s powerful voice, "Since you have learned all the Basic and Secret moves of the Dragon Slayer. The time has come for you to learn the Healing powers of the Azure Flames." Shun''s eyes widened as he heard that the flames can be used for healing, he didn''t know about that and a question presented in his head. Zagnivol knew what that expression meant and started talking with a slight regret, "You must be wondering why I didn''t save your mother, right?" Shun nodded his head as it shouldn''t be a big deal for Zagnivol to save his mother, Zagnivol sighed as he started to explain, "The thing is that I couldn''t. You don''t remember much of that scene but at that time, your mother''s body was hit with multiple spears and I couldn''t heal her with those spears inside of her." "If I healed her at that time then she would have to live with those spears inside of her and that is pretty dangerous, one wrong move and she is dead. And if I removed those spears then that would cause further movement and it would slice off her organs which would also kill her. So, I couldn''t do anything in that situation." Shun nodded as he had also thought of this, he was relieved that this was the case. He asked Zagnivol with a curious expression on his face, "So, when are we going to start training for the Healing power of the Azure Flames." Zagnivol''s face turned into a feral grin, it was like a hunter had found it''s predator and was going through the ways to kill it. Shun gulped down but he was determined to learn it as soon as he could. Zagnivol just spoke a single sentence that confused him, "Alright then, let''s start sparring." His words caused Shun to be a little blank at that moment, he felt as if something was wrong, weren''t they going to learn about the Healing power of the Azure Flames. 8 Zagnivols Pas From that moment, Shun was beaten to the brink of his life and asked by Zagnivol to heal himself with the Azure Flames. He was obviously unsuccessful for a couple of times and stayed injured for a couple of days before his enhanced regeneration picked up and healed him. After being repeatedly lectured by Zagnivol, he finally learned the way to heal himself albeit slow but he could still heal himself right now. After that, his speed of training continued to rise, his healing speed had increased that he could now heal his broken bone within 2 minutes. It was heaven-defying. Zagnivol himself was astonished that he had come such a long way in these years. His power of the Azure Flame also rose another level and it was just below Zagnivol''s Flames in intensity. Zagnivol now had to use some of it''s true strength to spar with Shun, he felt as if the speed of his growth was unreal. The speed at which his magic was becoming denser and denser while also increasing in it''s quantity. In one of the spars, Shun had actually activated the rarest thing and given a great surprise to Zagnivol. He activated his Dragon Force at that time, Zagnivol had to use half of it''s true power to stop him. He didn''t want to hurt Shun so he did have some restrain but the power of Shun''s Dragon Force did take him by surprise. It was unreal for any Dragon Slayer to have such unbelievable power the first time they activate the Dragon''s Force. What shocked Zagnivol even more was that Shun could control how to activate his Dragon Force, he could activate it on will and that caused the Dragon to sigh¡­ It felt some pity for the enemies that were about to face him. 6th July, X777 Year Zagnivol was staring at the surrounding with a grim expression on it''s face. It knew that it wouldn''t be able to survive and would die at the end of the day. He knew that before disappearing, he would have to inform Shun. He called out to Shun, "SHUN COME HERE!!" Shun was sitting on top of a Hill while controlling the Azure Flame without any signs. He heard the sound of Zagnivol calling out to him and called back the Azure Flame and turned towards that direction. He jumped down from the hill and started to come down at an unimaginable speed. When he was about to reach the ground, he softly spoke, "Azure Dragon''s Roar!" A Bright Azure Blue Flame appeared from his mouth and struck the ground. The strange thing was that the ground wasn''t being heated at all, it was as if Shun controlled the temperature and reduced it to minimum. He slowed down his speed and jumped down on the ground. He then started running towards the Azure Dragon, Zagnivol with his full speed while dodging the trees that appeared in his way. It took him about a minute to reach near Zagnivol and asked, "You called me father? What happened?" Zagnivol stared at the 11 years old Shun and felt a bit proud, he had grown up wonderfully while making him very surprised at his miraculous growth. He spoke in a tired voice mixed with his old and ancient voice, "The time has come for me to tell you about myself." Shun was curious as to what Zagnivol wanted to tell him, his ears perked up as he listened, "I am the Azure Dragon but in the Dragon Times, I was called the Dragon King. It was nearly 1000 years ago when I was crowned to be the Dragon King." His words caused Shun to be very shocked, he didn''t think that Zagnivol was the Dragon King but he thought of the power he possessed and didn''t find it weird that he possessed such a position among the Dragons. Zagnivol further spoke, "At that time, our Dragon God that had ascended the God Realm watched my progress and was worried that if i continued to grow stronger, I would be able to kill it and get that throne for myself. So, it asked me for a battle¡­" Zagnivol had a sad expression on its face as it further spoke, "I was a very arrogant Dragon at that time, I didn''t give a damn and went to battle with the Dragon God. Our battle continued for 100 years before I started to lose my power and it destroyed me in that instant." "This body is my Strong Spiritual Body that has limited Magic Energy. I wanted to stay alive for an inheritor so that I could keep my legacy alive. I then heard of a Dragon inventing a Magic called the Dragon Slayer Magic with which the Dragons teach their magic to humans." Zagnivol paused for a few moments before it started to speak once again, "I was intrigued by the idea of teaching my magic to a human, I did choose some few humans but they died as soon as I put my Azure Flame for their rebirth but you...you survived and here you are." Shun remained silent as he heard his words, he only had a single question, "How strong is that Dragon God? And won''t he sense me if I also grow too strong?" Zagnivol nodded his head as it spoke, "It is about as strong as my complete strength with an inexhaustible energy. He won''t sense you because he disdains to observe humans. I have a single request out of you¡­ if you ever grow powerful enough, then destroy that Dragon God." "Don''t think about this too much, just have fun and continue to grow strong. This is only when you grow strong enough to kill me with a single blow." Shun nodded as he knew that he was far away from the time till he was abe to kill Zagnivol with a single blow, he couldn''t hurt him even with his full power let alone kill him. Zagnivol smiled as it spoke one last sentence, "Before going, I will let you have glimpse of my complete strength." Suddenly, the Zagnivol''s whole body started shining with a Blue Light. It completely covered him and slowly started to uncover him. As the Light was being uncovered, Shun saw a completely new set of beautiful scales. They looked beautiful, strong and completely full of vitality. Shun sensed an unreal amount of Magic Power within Zagnivol. He now knew that he wasn''t half-shit in front of Zagnivol, Zagnivol could destroy him with just a little finger. The clouds thundered as if they were witnessing a god. In the God Realm, The Dragon God was astonished as it sensed this energy, he could never forget this energy, the energy of the Greatest Dragon that he had ever battled. He had never forgotten that scene in his life, if it had let that Dragon live for another 400 years, it would be the one who would have lost that battle. He didn''t know just how could such a strong Dragon exist in the world. He had a long way to go before he could match that power, suddenly Zagnivol stopped shining and everything returned to the original. The new scales were replaced with the old looking scales. Shun noticed Zagnivol disappearing in front of his eyes and let out some tears, he declared, "I will take revenge for you father!! I promise that!" Zagnivol smiled one last time and advised him, "Don''t waste your life for the revenge and training. Have fun and enjoy your life. Find some mates for yourself, you are the son of a Dragon King, make your own harem child. Ohh and Zeref asked me to tell you to go to a guild named Fairy Tail." Shun smiled as he heard that, "Oh, he did. Alright then. Bye father¡­ May the heavens rest your soul." With that Zagnivol disappeared from his view¡­ He lowered his head as he stayed down for the whole day. 9 Fairy Tail Guild The next day, he started to move towards the kingdom. He remembered the direction in which Zagnivol took him so he walked towards that direction. He also wanted to find out the Fairy Tail Guild. He wondered what it was, was it a place where he could make lots of friends? He also wanted to go to the town to meet up with Mira once again. He missed all three of them, they were his first friends of his small life. It took him about a month to walk to the kingdom of Fiore. He ate the fruits that were grown on the trees and ate them as he quenched his hunger. He reached a nearby village. The first thing he did was go in a restaurant and eat to his heart''s content. After he satisfied his stomach, he asked the manager of the shop, "I wanted to know where is the fairy tail guild. And the way to reach there." The manager heard his words and kindly replied, "Just take a train from here to Magnolia Town, it should take about an hour to reach there." Shun nodded his head even though he didn''t know what a train was, he went out of the restaurant and asked some people about the Train station. He reached the train station and entered the train. Suddenly, the train started to move and he felt a weird feeling wash over him as he felt an intense urge to vomit. He hurriedly lit up a small Azure Flame in his body and let that feeling wash away¡­ As the manager said, it only took an hour to reach Magnolia Town. He got out of the train with an excited look on his face. He went towards a street vendor and asked him, "Where can I find the Fairy Tail Guild." The old man looked surprised that such a young boy asked him this question. He gave a kind smile in return, "Just go straight and turn right. You will see a large building with Fairy Tail written on it." "Thank you very much." Shun had a smile on his face as he now knew the location of the Fairy Tail guild. He started to move towards the Fairy Tail guild and soon reached in front of the building. It was a large two storey high Building that had the logo of Fairy Tail and Fairy Tail written beneath it. Shun felt a very strange aura from that symbol but he ignored it and went inside the guild hall. He opened the door and suddenly, the whole guild was silent, he raised his eyebrow as he saw a young boy of his age with barely any clothes. A red haired girl walking around in an armor and a young boy with weird hair colour, it was pink. He called out to the red haired girl as she seemed like she knew about this guild, "Excuse me¡­" His words were directed at the red haired girl so she turned towards him and looked towards him with a questioning expression, "Yes...What do you want to ask?" He asked his question, "I wanted to know how I can join this guild. Do I have to take some sort of test or something?" Suddenly, the pink haired boy stepped forwards as he loudly yelled, "Yes, you have to beat me to get in the guild." Shun raised his eyes at his words but he nodded as he thought that was the case, "So, where do we fight? Do you want to fight here or outside?" The pink haired boy was shocked as soon as he heard his agreement, "We can fight here, it''s not a problem at all." Suddenly, an orange coloured fire started to form around his fists as he gave a warning, "Be careful. Fighting against me will be hard." Shun simply shrugged, "Nah, super easy, barely an inconvenience." That Pink haired boy seemed to be displeased as he heard that, he felt as if he was being looked down by this new-comer. He suddenly remembered that he didn''t even know his name, "Ohh right, I forgot! What is your name?" "Shun. What''s yours?" He curiously asked for the name of the Pink haired boy. The pink haired boy revealed a smile on his face, "Natsu...Natsu Dragneel." Shun raised his eyes at his name, it was a good name. Suddenly, he saw Natsu taking on a familiar stance, it was all to familiar for him. "Fire Dragon''s Roar!" He widened his eyes as he saw a large stream of orange fire coming towards him. He didn''t even try to dodge it and let it hit his body. His whole body was engulfed in fire and everyone in the guild was startled due to it. Erza, the red haired girl and Gray, the half naked guy approached Natsu hit his head. Erza was pissed off as she saw Natsu using his Fire Dragon''s Roar and hitting a new member that had come to join the fairy tail, "What have you done? Do you know that you have possibly killed that new comer?" Suddenly, all of them heard a chuckling sound coming from the Fire, she saw Shun standing there with his black clothes and eating the Fire all around him. Erza could also see a faint Blue Flame all around his body. Shun had a smiling face as he wiped his face and stepped forwards, "So, is it my turn now¡­?" Erza raised her hand as she stopped them both, "Noo...There won''t be any fighting. Master will be here at any moment now." As if without any clue, a short and elderly man stepped forwards. He had black eyes with an orange coloured hoodie as his attire. He saw the same symbol that he saw outside of the building on the white coloured shirt that was under the hoodie. The man had a twinkling expression as he saw Shun. Erza slightly bowed in front of that short yet old man, "Master Makarov¡­ this is the boy that wants to join Fairy Tail." Shun was surprised to see that the tiny man was the master. He looked towards Erza and wondered if she had made some sort of mistake, "Are you sure that he is the master? Isn''t he too small?" Makarov started to laugh as he heard his words, "Many people have said the same thing." "Oh...So what is it that I have to do to join the Fairy Tail?" His words caused Makarov to smile as he did have a single question, "Nothing really. But I wanted to ask, why did you come here to join this guild?" "It''s because my adoptive father, Zagnivol asked me to join it." He replied almost instantly causing Makarov to ask another question, "Ohh, where is he now?" Shun bitterly smiled and his expression alone was enough for Makarov to understand, "He is dead now." Makarov looked down, "My condolences, that man is in a better place." Shun raised his eyebrow at that, he immediately spoke, "He isn''t a man, my adoptive father is a Dragon." This caused everyone to to be surprised. The one who was most surprised was Natsu, he was happy that he found someone like him, someone who was raised by a dragon, "You were also raised by a Dragon!" Shun nodded as he points towards him, "Yup, just like you were. Although I don''t know which Dragon raised you." Natsu proudly proclaimed, "I was raised by Igneel, the King of the Fire Dragons." Shun was surprised, he had heard the Azure Dragon praising a Dragon named Igneel a few times. And his words were nothing but praise for the Dragon, even though the Dragon was a bit of hot-headed. Shun also proudly proclaimed, "And I was raised by Zagnivol, the King of all Dragons at a time." He had a sad tone as he remembered Zagnivol''s end scene. Natsu suddenly remembered something, "How did you know that I was raised by a Dragon?!" Shun simply smiled as he replied, "Because of your Magic¡­ I also use the similar magic." Suddenly, Blue Flames started to emerge from his body, "Azure Dragon Slayer Magic." 10 Jobs Makarov showed a surprised expression on his face, he remembered that this boy wanted to join the fairy tail, "Alright children, step back. First, let him officially join the Fairy Tail, then you can ask him other questions." Everyone cheered at that fact and Makarov asked Shun, "So, where do you want this stamp and which colour?" Shun smiled as he replied, "I want it on my right shoulder in Black Colour." Makarov revealed a surprised expression, "Oh...seeing your Blue hair and your Blue Eyes, I was almost sure that you were going to ask for Blue Colour. But here you go¡­" He gave him a Black Coloured Fairy Tail Symbol on his right shoulder. Natsu was excited as he saw his Fairy Tail symbol on his right shoulder, "YATTA! You got the symbol in the same place as I did." Shun smiled at his overexcited behaviour, "Yea, I thought that it looked cool, imagine if I was fighting someone. It would be easy to tell them that I was from Fairy Tail." Natsu nodded with an excited expression, he felt as if he had found his best friend. Suddenly, he heard an annoying voice speak up, "Hey you...So you are also trained by the Dragon like this numbskull." Natsu raged up as he hit his head with Gray''s head, "Who are you calling a numbskull, you striper?" Gray also hit back Natsu''s head, "Did you say something numbskull?!" They both started to hit back and forth while Shun sweat-dropped at that scene. He didn''t know that they greeted each other through fighting. What was even funnier was that they were both equally matched, he saw the Ice Magic and wondered how was it strong enough to be a match for the Dragon Slayer Magic, "What is your magic¡­" "My name is Gray Fullbuster. And my magic is Ice-Make Magic." He made a small crystal of Ice by forming a fist and putting it on top of his other hand. "Oh¡­ Ice-Make Magic. It''s mighty." Shun honestly complimented. Gray was surprised by his compliment, he didn''t think that he would be complemented by this person. He nodded as he smiled back at him. He was curious about one thing, "So, where have you decided to live?" Shun raised his eyebrows as he didn''t think of that, "Can''t I just live here? There are enough tables and chairs for me to sleep at night and in the day, I can just go and play." Everyone remained dumbfounded hearing his words. Gray was the first one to speak, "You don''t play when you are in the guild. You have to take on jobs and do them." Shun''s expression dropped as soon as he heard that, he had always thought that all that the humans liked to do was play around and get stronger. He didn''t know what the deal about the job was. He turned towards the master and gave him a questioning look as if asking, is that really the truth? Makarov understood the reason behind his gaze and nodded, "Even though Gray was not completely right, you do have to complete some jobs to collect the jewels and make a living." Shun still had a confused expression on his face, "Oh...Jewels. I have enough of them. I think they would be enough for me to live for some time." Makarov obviously didn''t believe his words and questioned him, "How many jewels?" Shun shrugged, "I don''t know. Maybe some 30 Million Jewels." Makarov''s eyes widened so much that they were on the brink of coming out. He was surprised to hear that this boy actually had such a large number of jewels. It was actually more than the yearly income of the whole guild. Makarov turned towards Erza and ordered her, "Alright Erza, you will go with him to see a house for him. I don''t want someone to trick him into wasting his money." While he had got over his shock, Natsu, Gray, and Erza were still in shock as they heard that vast amount. Erza got out of her excitement after hearing Makarov''s voice, but Natsu and Gray remained in shock. Natsu and Gray were in their own little dreams, they were imagining just how much they could buy from this much Millions of Jewels. They wouldn''t need to work for a long time¡­ Shun didn''t really plan on going and buying a house as he stated, "I don''t really want to buy a house right now. I will think about it later on¡­" His words did cause Makarov to be surprised, but he couldn''t say anything to him about that. It was after all his own choice. Makarov couldn''t force him to buy his own house now. He let the matter as it was and left all of them as he had some tasks to do himself. Currently, only 4 of them were left: Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Shun. Shun was curious about the jobs in the guild, "What are these jobs that you were talking about? Are they fun?" Now his question caused Erza took a look towards Natsu and Gray, Natsu had a great smile on his face as he nodded, "Yup, they are amusing." Erza had a tick mark on her face as she heard his words, "It''s fun only for you. You keep destroying houses every time you take a job." Natsu ignored her words as he held Shun''s hands and took him out of the guild. All the other guild members stared at them with a smile, they felt as if these kids had too much energy. A Blond Haired teenager was observing Shun since he came into the guild¡­ He was surprised by the Blue Flames. He was Laxus Dreyar, the grandson of Makarov Dreyar. He was standing in the guild with a grim expression on his face. He was curious about this new child that had entered the guild, he didn''t seem like a weakling, so it got him intrigued. Meanwhile, Natsu was dragging Shun to his own house. He wanted him to stay together with him as he was also a son of the Dragon. He felt as if they were brothers that were separated from their Dragons. Shun didn''t have anything to do right now, so he entertained him by following. He entered the house and saw that it was surprisingly in excellent shape and wasn''t that thrashed by Natsu as he imagined by his antics. Natsu proudly proclaimed, "I got this house because of the Grandpa. I will give the jewels to the guild until I am able to pay for its full amount." Shun let out a surprised expression, he totally didn''t expect that he could do that. He got out of the house as he gave off the reason, "I wanted to take on a job. I really wonder what it is like to do one." Natsu didn''t like the fact that Shun was leaving, but he understood, he didn''t try to stop him. Shun once again entered the guild hall and saw Erza sitting on a chair in front of a table. He wanted to ask, "Erza, where can I select a job?" Erza was surprised to see him coming back so soon, she looked towards the board with some posters on it. She points towards the board and informs him, "That board has many missions listed on it. Select a mission from the board and complete it. It has the location, the details of what we have to do and the reward on it." Shun nodded as he approached the Notice board and saw a bunch of jobs, he was excited when he saw a mission for a Wyvern. He had heard from his foster father that Wyverns were also strong, they were basically unevolved creatures that had failed to evolve into Dragons. It was a B+ Rank Mission. His task was to kill 20 Wyvern and bring their jaws to a merchant who wanted to sell it. The Wyvern must be from the Mountains near the Worth Woodsea as they had ruby like jaws that could be sold at a high price. 11 Cat Shelter Shun grabbed the job poster and turned around and was about to get out of the guild. Erza was surprised to see the rank of his Job Poster, she called out to him, "Wait, Shun!" Shun turned around as he saw Erza looking at him with a calm expression, he wondered what was up with her, "Yeah...You wanted to ask for something." Erza nodded as she said the reason for stopping him, "Don''t you think that your mission is too much for you? You should choose an easier mission for yourself." Shun raised an eyebrow at her words, he wondered why she was even saying this to him, "What are you talking about? My Magic is used to kill the Dragons, it would be easy to kill these Wyverns that haven''t even evolved into drakes." Erza shook her head as she explained, "It seems as if you don''t understand. These Wyverns are strong with a good body, I can''t leave a scratch on them even with all my swords. You should give it up and take another mission." Shun simply replied, "What do you mean that I can''t defeat the Wyvern because you couldn''t? I don''t really think that you are stronger than me so why are you acting like you are?" Erza felt a blow on her pride. She was a young girl and she had thought that she was one of the best in her generation but now a kid comes in and tells her that he is probably stronger than her. She did feel a blow on her pride as she slightly flared up. Gray who was standing besides them heard his words and knew that Erza was going to fight against Shun now, fearing for Shun''s well being, he whispered to Shun, "Apologise to Erza, she is really strong." Shun was confused as to why the heck were others thinking of him as the weaker person, he could sense that Erza''s Magic power wasn''t even 10% of his own so why were they acting like he should be afraid of her. But he knew that he would have to take a stand now so as to tell them that he wasn''t some weakling, "Alright then, let''s have a fight. If I win, I get to go on this mission and you won''t stop me Erza and if I lose then I will choose another mission. How does that sound?" Erza nodded her head as this was what she wanted, she knew that there was no way she could lose to someone of her own age. She unsheathed her sword and rushed towards him, Shun had his hands in his pocket as he leasiourly dodged her slashes. They were slow, unpolished and were quite predictable, everyone watching this fight gasped as they saw him dodging the moves without even using his magic. He was just having a calm look while turning his body at the right time and by the right rotation. His movements seemed quite easy to look but they were hard to perform, he was quite bored of dodging her sword movements and suddenly pulled out his hand from his pocket and grabbed her sword with his index fingers. He made it look so easy as if Erza''s sword didn''t hold any weight or power. His hands were like a wall through which her sword couldn''t cut through at all. He sighed as he was slightly disappointed by her power, "If that''s all then it''s not a surprise that you couldn''t hurt a Wyvern." Erza''s face turned red for a moment but she stayed silent, she was the one who was weaker she had to accept her weakness and become stronger. Shun released her sword and went started moving out of the guild while surprising Gray. Gray didn''t think that Erza would lose to someone in their generation so quickly and easily. He knew that this new guy must be something else, someone who was much more of a monster than Erza. Erza turned towards Gray and saw him looking at her with a surprised expression, she thought that he was surprised because she let Shun go so she stated, "He is stronger than me. Much stronger, besides his magic is used to dealing with Dragon like creatures so maybe he could fight against them and if not fight then at least run." Gray nodded as her explanation was pretty logical. What they didn''t know was that Makarov was observing these events with a grim expression on his face. He wanted to know just how strong this young boy was, because at the moment, he was getting the feeling that Shun was hiding something. Laxus had also seen his movements against Erza and he was slightly impressed that he was able to hold her off without using his magic. That meant that he didn''t just rely on that Dragon Slayer Magic like Natsu, he knew how to use his body. That did get some points in front of Laxus, he wanted these type of strong people in his Fairy Tail. Like himself, like Shun and other strong people. Shun took a train which he used the Azure Flame from the start to continuously heal that vomiting problem along the way. The train took him near the Worth Woodsea. As he was walking towards the mountains, he came across another guild, it was named Cat Shelter. He felt something weird as he saw the people inside the guild. He felt as if he could see through some of the people, as he found that out, he rubbed his eyes and knew that he wasn''t dreaming. He suddenly saw a little girl surrounded by those people with a curious expression on her face. He was even more astonished as he smelled a familiar scent, the smell of a Dragon. Not Zagnivol''s scent but it was similar, he could distinguish that it definitely wasn''t the scent of a human. He decided to complete the mission a little later and went towards that little dark blue coloured girl and called out for her, "Hey¡­What''s your name?" The small girl looked towards him and was happy that someone caller out for her. "Wendy Marvell¡­" Her meek voice reached out to his ears. He approached her and gave her a smile as he looked towards the people that were basically see through for him. He informed her of his own name, "My name is Shun¡­" "Shun-san, what are you doing here? Did you want to post some sort of mission in the guild. Wait a second, I will call grandpa Roubaul." She was excited that she had actually met up with a client in person. He cringed a bit at hearing her call him san, he smiled as he asked her, "You can think of me as a Big Brother." Her excitement soon turned into disappointment as Shun shook his head, he stared at her with a smile, "I came here because I smelled a Dragon. If I didn''t guess wrongly then you are raised by a Dragon right?" Wendy''s eyes brightened as she heard his words, she felt a hope ignite in her heart, she had always wanted to find Grandine but whoever she asked would say that the Dragons had long since gone extinct. He was the first person to say these words to her, hearing him, she knew that he must have some sort of idea where her mother, Grandine was, "Yup, I was raised by this really kind Dragon named Grandine. She was like my mother but a month ago, she suddenly disappeared." Shun smiled as he heard her words, she seemed really excited to know about her mother but he had to disappoint her as he didn''t know about her mother Grandine, "I am sorry but I don''t know about your Dragon at all. My foster father was also a Dragon and he did tell me that Grandine was one of the greatest Sky Dragon in the history." Even though Wendy was disappointed that Shun didn''t know about her mother, she was happy that he was also a son of a Dragon. She felt as if she was suddenly closer to him, she called him, "Shun-niichan, why did you come here?" 12 Taking along Wendy He just smiled as he suddenly called out, "Come out. I know you are observing us." An old and short man came out with a slim figure. He had white long beard with a full mustache. Shun stared at that short man as he could sense huge amount of magic from that small body. He could also feel that all the people around him contained the same magic and his eyes suddenly widened in realization, he knew that this man had used his own magic to create everything. It was like an illusion but it was so realistic that normal people wouldn''t be able to sense it. As the understanding dawned upon him, he stared at the short man with a questioning expression, "Why have you made this illusion around us?" As soon as the old man heard his words, he knew that the cat was out of the bag, he couldn''t get out of this without an explanation. He sighed as he removed the illusion and caused Wendy to be very surprised, she didn''t understand why the guild in front of her was dispersing as if it was an illusion. Roubaul had a grim expression on his face as he stared at the young boy Shun, he felt a strange and strong magic power from him. It was much more powerful than the Nirvana and caused him to take him very seriously. He started to answer his question, "The reason I made that guild was because when that blue haired boy left her with me. She asked me one thing when she woke up, " Is this a guild?" Not wanting to disappoint her, I used my illusion powers and created this guild." His words caused Wendy to be really surprised, she didn''t think that her grandpa Roubaul had actually used his Illusion powers to create a guild just for her. She jumped towards him and remained in his arms as she sobbed. Not just wendy, Shun was also shocked because he didn''t think that this man had actually created this guild just because of that one question. He knew that this old man genuinely cared for the girl and she would have stayed here for a long time before she could realize the truth. He smiled in a cheeky way, "Hey, that''s really good. But I think it would be better if she goes in a real guild. She can make really cool friends and meet new people that are real. It would let her experience something new and would be fun for her." Wendy resisted that idea as she didn''t want to leave Roubaul right now, she didn''t want to leave while knowing how much he cared for her. Roubaul sighed as he knew that Shun was right, he took towards the mark on his Right Shoulder and saw that it was the mark of the Fairy Tail. He had heard about that guild, it was one of the most popular guild along with the Phantom Lord but there was something that made people choose Fairy Tail, it was because they always treated their members right. They treated each member as part of their family so it was obvious that he thought that the Fairy Tail would be the best guild where he would like to send Wendy. He still had some doubts, "Will the Fairy Tail guild agree to let Wendy join the guild?" As Shun heard his question, his mind went back to how he joined the fairy tail, it didn''t seem like there was some sort of requirement to join the guild. The Guild Master was pretty cool to let him join the guild without testing him so he nodded, "Yup, you don''t have to worry about that. Besides, I will talk with Master Makarov and definitely convince him." Roubaul seemed convinced at that and turned towards Wendy that was glued to him, he kindly persuaded her, "Young child, don''t be so stubborn. He is right, you have to go to a real guild to experience some adventures. Staying here would just limit you, go with him to the Fairy Tail guild and join it. I heard that they have really nice people in it, you are going to love it there." Wendy sobbed for some moments but she nodded her head, she didn''t want to leave her grandpa Roubaul but she also didn''t want to disobey him. She decided to join the guild that he was talking about. Roubaul glanced towards Shun as he wondered something, "Why did you come to this guild actually? I don''t think that you came in this direction to investigate us¡­" Shun blinked a few times as he remembered something. "O yea¡­ I remember. I was going to the Mountains near the Worth Woodsea, I picked up this mission about collecting the Red Jaws of the Wyvern from the Mountains." He unfolded his mission poster as he showed it to Roubaul. Roubaul seemed surprised as he heard that, he didn''t think that this young boy had come here to fight against the Strong Wyverns that were residing on the mountain. He gave a warning, "Be careful on that mountain, I heard that the Wyverns residing on the mountain are very strong." Shun gave out a relaxed smile, "Don''t worry about me old man. I fear that they won''t be a challenge at all. It would be disappointing if they were too weak." Seeing his confidence Roubaul didn''t try to stop him, he knew that it would be useless. Wendy heard their talks and thought that Shun was going to fight against some very strong beasts, she wanted to help him as soon enough, she was going to be the same guild as him. She had heard from her grandpa Roubaul that guildmates helped each other all the time. She bravely stepped forwards, "Shun-niichan, take me along with you. I promise that I won''t hold you back." Shun found her expression extremely cute as he hugged her, "Hey, you don''t really need to do anything. Just stay beside me." Wendy was pulled into a tight hug as she struggled to get out of his embrace even though she liked it. He felt like an older sibling to her and she really liked this feeling. She wanted to embrace it even more¡­ She nodded her head as she spoke further about her abilities, "I am a Sky Dragon Slayer, I am not really proficient in the offensive attacks but I think that I am good enough in healing and support type spells." Shun didn''t want her to lose her heart and encouraged her while kissing the top of her forehead, "Hmm...then I will leave my healing to you my imouto." His words blew a bomb of happiness in her. It was as if she felt that whatever the problem or situation. This person, her Big Brother would be willing to fight against them all for her. She felt exceptionally comfortable with him, she had decided that she would definitely heal him whenever he felt tired and would learn the new spells that Grandine had left for her so that she could be of use to him. Shun glanced at her expression and could guess what she was thinking, he extended his hand towards her small hand and motioned her to grab it. Wendy grabbed it and Shun turned towards Roubaul, "Well, sorry old man. I am taking my imouto to the mountains¡­ Take care now!" With that he left the area along with Wendy and went towards the Mountains on which there was a rumour about the Wyverns. He had perfectly masked his own Aura as well as Wendy''s Aura, he knew that if the Wyverns sensed the Dragon''s Aura nearby, they wouldn''t take a second before running away. Even beasts had some intellect that they shouldn''t fight against some beasts, such as two creatures, Dragons and Phoenixes. These are the two creatures that would make any low level beast run away if they sense a slight amount of their aura. He heard some sounds of Roaring and held Wendy''s hand as he started to run very fast with full speed. It caused Wendy to remain in the air as she didn''t even touch the ground due to his high speed. 13 Collecting the Jaws When he reached the place, he saw two Grey Coloured creatures with scales that covered their entire bodies. Red ruby like jaws that shined and reflected light to a great degree, two medium sized nostrils with two small horns that were forming. He turned towards Wendy, "Wendy, don''t move from here. I will go and fight against these two Wyverns and beat them, after coming back you can heal me." Wendy seemed like she wanted to speak something but he suddenly turned around and jumped towards those Wyverns. Those Wyverns seemed to have keen ears as they heard him approaching towards them and suddenly jumped in opposite directing letting Shun be in between both of them. They were surprised to see a human in their territory. A beast no matter which one it was, it was extremely possessive about it''s territory, it wouldn''t tolerate another beast to come in it''s own territory, let alone a human. Both of them growled as they stared at Shun. Suddenly, it was like they forgot about their own feelings towards each other and both of them released different coloured breath. One had a Red Coloured breath that was like breathing fire from it''s mouth while the other was releasing a White Coloured Breath that was like he was blowing Ice towards Shun. Shun lightly smiled as he saw Wendy looking at him with worry in her eyes, he decided that he should show off his power here. Suddenly, a complete Azure Blue Flames were released from his body that engulfed him and protected him from both of those beams that were released from the Wyvern''s mouth. Their beams were dispersed without even giving a challenge, Shun gave a side glance to one of the Wyverns and jumped towards it while reading his fist, "Azure Dragon''s Iron Fist." His right fist was completely covered in Azure Blue Flames as he approached the Wyvern. The Wyvern could sense the aura of a Dragon from that fist but it knew that it couldn''t run away so it used it''s long tail and tried to intercept Shun mid-way. But Shun dodged the tail by jumping sideways and neared the Wyvern. He hit the Wyvern''s face with his "Azure Dragon''s Iron Fist" and caused a shockwave to occur around them. The nearby ground suddenly shattered apart as it was dispersed from the shockwave of his punch getting in contact with the head of the Wyvern. His punch was so strong that it completely destroyed his head from the inside out, completely breaking off all the bones while blood dripped from it''s mouth and splashed on the ground. As Shun killed the Wyvern, he released a cold intent to slaughter and turned towards Wyvern. This one tried to run while it still had a chance and started to fly up in the sky, Shun saw that the Wyvern was flying in the sky as he took a deep breath, "Azure Dragon''s Roar." He released a Huge Torrent of Azure Blue Flames and hit the other Wyvern with it, it completely vaporized it''s body. Before it would destroy its other parts, Shun stopped his move and closed his mouth. The bones and the ruby jaws of the Wyvern fell down on the ground as he went ahead and collected them. He then went towards Wendy who was looking at him with a wide-eyed expression, she didn''t imagine that he was so strong. She was scared, scared that she would hold him back, she felt that he was so strong that he wouldn''t even be injured while fighting these beasts so wasn''t she useless. Shun saw her worried and scared expression, he didn''t say anything about that, "Alright Wendy, time to search for the next one. We have to hurry up before evening." Wendy nodded as she started to follow him to search the Wyverns in the forest. The other Wyverns had sensed the Dragon''s Aura so they left their usual positions and gathered around as they wanted to decide what they would do now. Shun and Wendy search for them for some time before he finally found almost 24 Wyverns gathered at a single place. He smiled as he saw this and turned towards Wendy, "Wendy be careful of the Wyverns. You have to support me at the most appropriate time. This fight against these many beasts may be hard for me too so stay alert." It wouldn''t have been hard for him to fight these weak beasts but he didn''t want Wendy to feel useless. He had decided that he would fight with a little less power this time and take a few hits so that Wendy could heal him. He knew that what she needed wasn''t techniques but was confidence in herself, she needed the confidence that she could be a good support and it wouldn''t build up with disappointment in herself. He went in the middle of all the beasts and started to used his "Azure Dragon''s Iron Fist" and fight off against all the Wyverns. Even though he could kill them in one go, he was targeting less lethal parts such a tail so that they wouldn''t die from the attack and would also feel pain. Wendy decided that the time for her support magic had come, she knew that she must help Shun at this point and stepped forwards as she started enchanting: "Fast wind that run the heaven... VERNIER..." "Power of the stout arms that tears heaven... ARMS.. and ARMOUR.." Suddenly, Shun felt a mysterious energy surrounding him and increasing his speed, strength and his defence. He understood that it was Wendy''s support magic at work and wiped the blood from his mouth due to the hit of one of the Wyverns. He decided that the time had come to pay them back now, he neared every single one of them and broke apart their skulls and letting those jaws fall out of their mouth. He did that to every single one of the 24 Wyverns. After that, he went towards Wendy and noticed that her expression was much better than before. It seemed that she really liked it that she could support him at a good time. He went near her and pats her head with a smile on his face, "Good job, Wendy." Wendy saw some blood coming out of his body as she asked him, "Shun-niichan, don''t move! I will try to heal that wound on your face." Shun''s expression remained smiling as he didn''t even turn his face and didn''t move. Wendy closed her eyes and extended her hands as she concentrated for some few moments before she opened her eyes and muttered, "Sky Dragon''s Healing Spell." A clean air went towards his wound and started to heal him very quickly. Even Shun was surprised to feel this, he felt that it was similar to the way he would have used his Azure Flames to cure it. He turned towards her, "Well, now we are going to go back to Magnolia. I am going to let you officially join the Fairy Tail." Wendy cheered up at that as both of them collected the Ruby like jaws and started to come down from the mountain. Shun let Wendy meet up with Roubaul one last time before both of them took the train back to Magnolia town. The merchant that he had to give these jaws was back in Magnolia. He had silently used his Azure Flame inside his body so as to negate the effect of train on himself. He let Wendy lay down on his lap and sleep on the way back. As he was coming back, he went towards the shop where he had to give these jaws and then started to move back towards the Fairy Tail. Soon enough, they were in front of the guild and Wendy gasped in surprise. 14 Beating Laxus to a pulp She didn''t think that the Fairy Tail would have such a large building, it was also very good looking with a great design. She stayed beside him as she was nervous to go in the guild with many unfamiliar faces in it. Shun saw nervous expression as he told her, "Don''t be nervous. That mission was actually my first mission that I chose as soon as I entered the guild. So, I just know 3-4 people and my situation is exactly like yours. Don''t worry, we will pull through¡­" Hearing his words did let her get a bit confident, she felt comforted as she hugged him. She whispered, "Thank you Nii Chan¡­ I am so happy that I met you." He had a fake tear in his eyes, "Ohh... I am so happy that my sister likes me. So, should we go inside?" Wendy nodded her little head as both of them stepped inside the guild hall. He saw many unfamiliar faces that he didn''t see when he had come before, one of them was a Red Haired Middle Aged man. Another was the Blonde haired guy who frowned as he saw Wendy. Wendy felt some hostility from him and hid behind Shun''s body. Shun could also see him glaring daggers at Wendy, "Who are you and why such hostility?" The Blonde haired person had an arrogant expression as he declared, "I am Laxus Dreyar, the grandson of the Master of the guild. Your future Master of fairy tail¡­ And I am the one who wanted to ask you Shun, why did you bring a weakling to the guild. You don''t plan to let her join the guild, do you?" Wendy felt her heart break as soon as she heard those words, she knew that she was a weakling but hearing Shun''s words, she felt as if she had potential. She could become a good support for him. But at this moment, she felt her confidence break apart into pieces and ran away from the guild. The whole guild turned silent as they heard Laxus''s words and turned towards Shun to see his reaction. They were wondering as to what he would say, Shun glanced towards Wendy''s direction and then turned his eyes towards Laxus with a frightening cold look in his eyes. He challenged, "Say that again, you wanna be Dragon Slayer!" Laxus''s eyes widened as he heard those words, he didn''t know how Shun knew that he was a Dragon Slayer but he figured that it must be something because of the Aura of the Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic that he released. He started speaking, "Why did you bring this-" Suddenly, he felt a punch on his mouth breaking some of his teeth and Shun grabbing his collar and threw him on the ground as he kicked him with full strength and threw him across the guild. That kick broke some of his bones from his rib area but Shun didn''t stop at this. He used his Azure Flames under his legs and jumped towards him and used the Azure Dragon''s Iron Fist and punched one of his arm and broke his arm bone. He was about to use that punch and break his legs that suddenly he felt a large magic power being used and saw the Red haired man stand up, "It''s enough now!" Shun looked at him with his cold blue eyes, "Did you say anything when he said those words to Wendy?" The entire guild stayed silent, they didn''t say anything as they just let it be a child''s talk at that point. Shun didn''t stop and that as he continued, "Did I say anything to you for staying silent?" Everyone stayed silent as the Red Haired Guy spoke, "No." His eyes turned even more cold as he said, "Then stay out of this!" Suddenly, someone said, "But he is the master''s grandson. You should have mercy on him¡­" Shun suddenly turned towards him and saw that it was a green haired guy that was standing together with Laxus. He declared, "I don''t care if he is the son of fucking GOD. Let alone the grandson of the guild master. Besides, I have been here for just a day, it isn''t a big deal for me to leave the guild." Suddenly, Makarov came running in the hall as he heard all the commotion just now. He saw his grandson lying there, face pale, his bones broken up while Shun was standing with a cold expression on his face. He questioned with some anger mixed in his voice, "Who did this to Laxus? WHO DID IT!?" Shun simply glanced at the old man and replied, "No need to trouble that old body for shouting. I did it, so what?!" Makarov narrowed his eyes and didn''t understand why this boy would do this to Laxus. He turned around and saw Gildarts standing there near the counter, he asked him, "What happened here Gildarts?" Gildarts, the red haired guy started to explain Makarov about the matter that happened, "This young boy, I believe his name is Shun came back to the guild with a little girl, most probably his sister and future member." Makarov was surprised as he heard that, he didn''t know that Shun would come back with a little girl, he couldn''t see the girl here and asked, "Where is the little girl?" Gildarts went to that part and started explaining him, "Laxus called her a weakling and she started crying as she ran out of the guild." With that he paused as he continued with some fear mixed in it, "After that, Shun flared up as he started beating Laxus to the inch of his life." Makarov looked towards Shun and saw that he was still glaring at Laxus with that cold look in his eyes. Makarov tried to handle the matter, "Now-now, calm down Shun, you didn''t have to go so far for his words." Shun glared at Makarov as he spoke, "I don''t know about you old man, but I was taught by my Dragon father that if someone did make my family cry¡­ Cut him into pieces." Even Laxus felt some fear as he heard those words, he felt as if his life was just about to end. Makarov once again tried to reason with him, "Listen child, I don''t want to fight you for this." He said while he started using his Titan Magic and enlarging his body. Shun calmed down a bit as he heard that, he didn''t really want to fight in the guild as there were other people and he didn''t have any feud with the Guild Master. Besides, he didn''t want to leave the Fairy Tail as Uncle Zeref and Zagnivol were the ones who asked him to join it. He did turn towards Laxus as he coldly spoke with a disgusted expression on his face, "Weakling!" Those words hurt Laxus more than anything that could hurt him, he hated being called weakling. He started to move towards the door of the Fairy Tail Guild and declared in his cold and intimidating voice, "The next time he says something like that, I won''t just break his bones. I will cut-off his tongue and cut him apart into pieces and throw it out for dogs to eat." His tone suggested that he was damn serious and would actually do it if Laxus dared to say that again. Makarov approached Laxus as he picked him up and look him to Porlyusica. He knew that she was the only one who could cure him now¡­ While Makarov took Laxus to Porlyusica, Shun was following Wendy''s scent as he searched for her. He followed her scent and felt her at the Railway Station, he saw her sobbing on a bench as she was waiting for the train. He approached her and pulled her into his embrace and caressed her head, "Now-now, don''t cry Wendy. That person was just a bully, you don''t have to listen to him." Wendy looked up at his face and sobbed a few more times, "But, he was right, I am so weak. I won''t be good enough for the Fairy Tail guild." Shun looked into her eyes and saw that her confidence had broken up, he thought that he was too merciful on Laxus, he should have destroyed both of those legs too. He poked her forehead with his finger, "Don''t worry about that¡­ We would talk with the master of the guild, if he doesn''t want to have you in the guild then I will leave along with you." 15 Wendy joins the Guild Wendy wasn''t happy that he would leave the guild for her, "Please don''t leave the guild for me. You are strong Shun-niichan. It will be good for Fairy Tail to have a mage like you." He smiled as he heard those words, "And it will be good for Fairy Tail to also have a mage like you too. Don''t resist, just come along." He started to pull her with him back to the Fairy Tail Guild, he entered the Guild Hall and saw that the whole guild was silent as they saw him and Wendy enter the Hall. Many of them were staring at Shun with some fear in their eyes. Wendy was feeling weird by being stared at by all the other members of the guild. She didn''t know that Shun had punished Laxus and was slightly lost as to what was going on. She still thought that they were staring at her because she was weak¡­ She looked towards Shun and saw him giving her an encouraging smile, she felt happy that he believed in her. His Kind smile reminded how Grandine used to take care of her even though all she did was trouble Grandine. She decided that she would help him, she would grow strong. She slightly bowed as got together all her willpower, "I am Wendy Marvell, I would like to join Fairy Tail. Please have me as a member." Gildarts was standing near the counter as he turned towards one of the fairy tail members, "Go and bring the Fairy Tail symbol stamp." The man wasn''t sure whether he should go or not, he was uncertain, "Should we make her join the Fairy Tail without master Makarov present here?" Gildarts shook his head, "Don''t worry about that. I will talk to Master about that¡­ He won''t be against it anyways." Soon enough the man brought the Guild stamp with him and handed it over to Gildarts. Gildarts stepped towards wendy as he kneeled down to be at the same level as she was, "Where and which colour do you want this Guild Mark?" Wendy was a bit nervous as she thought where should she get it and looked towards Shun and saw that he had his mark on his right shoulder. She looked towards him and saw him smiling towards her, she looked towards Gildarts with a nervous gaze, "I-I want it on my right shoulder in Azure Blue Colour please." Gildarts looked towards Shun and saw that his eyes were Azure Blue coloured, he smiled as he understood that. He nodded and put the Azure Blue coloured Guild Mark on her Right Shoulder. Wendy was overjoyed right now. She finally joined a real guild and got to stay with her dear brother. She hugged him after she got her guild mark as it was all due to him. Gildarts looked around and saw Erza coming in the guild hall, "Erza, I have a task for you. Can you take our little member around the town? She has just joined the Fairy Tail and doesn''t know much about Magnolia." Erza nodded with a monotonous expression, she turned towards Wendy and suddenly smiled as she squealed, "KAWAI~" She stepped forwards to hug Wendy but Shun stepped in between, "You can''t hug her with your armour on." Erza looked down and realized that she could hurt Wendy with her armour and used her re-equip magic and got into her normal clothing. Shun stepped aside after that without further ado as Erza hugged Wendy tightly and rubbed her cheeks with her with a blissful expression. Wendy was slightly uncomfortable but she turned towards Shun one last time before she saw his agreement and went out of the guild for a town tour with Erza. After they were out of the guild, Gildarts looked towards Shun, "You know, you have shattered his entire arm and also the bones near his rib area have been broken." Hearing this, Shun''s face turned into that of a frown, "What!? His Ribs weren''t shattered! I was sure that I used enough force." His words caused Gildarts to look at him with a frown on his face, "I agree that what he said wasn''t nice but still, that was going too far." Shun had a casual expression on his face as he heard Gildarts'' words, "What do you want to tell me? Get to the point!" Gildarts frowned as he figured that Shun seriously didn''t like Laxus, "Our medic Porlyusica can''t cure Laxus when he is in that condition. Shun smiled as he heard that, "Good, let him suffer!" Gildarts raised his voice, "Don''t be like that Shun! Master will be angry at you and might seriously hurt you, even I won''t support you at that point." Shun simply smiled as he heard his words, "You think I am scared of master. I don''t know who would win if we both fight¡­" At the end of his words, he let his Magic power overflow in the whole guild, Gildarts eyes widened as he sensed the amount of Magic Power that he had. He knew a single thing, if Makarov and Shun fights, then Shun outclassed Makarov by a small margin. Anybody else in the guild didn''t sense it because he had directed all his magic Power towards Gildarts. "Good day Gildarts-san." With that he took his leave and just before exiting the Guild hall. He spoke up, "Oh....And I have completed this B+ Rank Mission! I already collected my pay, this is the share for the guild!" He threw a bad with about 10,000 Jewels in it. Gildarts caught it and fortunately didn''t crash it. With that he exited the guild and went towards Natsu''s house to meet him. He entered the house that Master Makarov had given Natsu and saw him sleeping on his bed. Hearing someone entering his house, Natsu woke up as he rubbed his eyes and was surprised to see Shun entering his room. He thought that Shun had come to meet him, "Hey Shun, you came back to meet me." Shun nodded as he did come here because he didn''t have anywhere to go and anything to do right now. He smiled a little as he teased, "What? I can''t come and stay with you now. I am so hurt~" Natsu was startled at hearing his words, he didn''t detect his teasing tone and jumped up from the bed, "Nono, I didn''t mean it like that. Stay for as long as you want." Natsu looked and saw some blood on his Black Pants and hurriedly spoke, "Shun nii, be careful. You are bleeding¡­" Shun glanced down at his pants as he suddenly smiled, "Don''t worry, it isn''t my blood. It''s the blood of the Wyverns that I killed. Some of the blood stains got on my clothes¡­ I guess I have to wash them." Natsu''s eyes widened as he heard that he had killed some Wyverns. His eyes twinkled as suddenly tackled Shun, "WHAAAT, Big Brother Shun...You killed the Wyverns. Erza told me that those are too strong and prevented me from taking the mission." Shun smiled a little as he pats his head, "You will grow strong enough to kill them easily. Don''t forget, you are the son of Igneel the Fire Dragon King." His words encouraged Natsu as he nodded his head. Shun knew what was coming up next, "Natsu, I don''t want to fight right now. I think it would be an interesting fight when we are both grown up. I will be serious in that fight¡­ I really look forward to that fight Natsu¡­" Natsu felt a fire burn inside his heart, he felt the same way as Shun. He didn''t want to fight against Shun right now, he wanted to fight when they were at the peak of their powers. He nodded his head, "Alright brother Shun¡­ We won''t fight now. We will postpone this fight." 16 Healing Laxus Shun nodded as he sighed in relief, he actually wasn''t in the mood for fighting but he also felt that Natsu also had a great potential. He did wonder if he could become a challenge for himself and be a help against the Dragon God. He went in the bathroom and cleaned off his shirt and pants as he used his Azure Flames and let them dry up and worn them for the night. The next day, he woke up and went towards the guild hall, he wanted to select a mission for himself. He entered the guild hall and saw Wendy standing there with a silent expression on her face. She turned towards him, "Why did you do that Shun-nii-chan?" Shun was visibly confused by her words, he then remembered the events that happened yesterday and had a firm expression. Shun started speaking casually, "If you are talking about the fight against Laxus, well he deserved it." Wendy pouted as she tried to make an angry face and was failing at this as her face looked even more cute, "I am going not going to talk with nii-chan till Laxus-san gets cured." She did turn towards Gildarts, "Gildarts-san, can you take me to where Laxus-san is laying down? My Sky Dragon Slayer Magic is also a healing magic, I will try to heal him." Gildarts nodded as he took her to a room¡­ Shun followed them both and nobody tried to stop him from doing this, he saw Laxus being bandaged properly as Wendy neared him and used her Sky Dragon''s Healing Magic. He saw the Wind move at her will and tried to heal Laxus but he was too injured and she couldn''t heal him with her own small Magic power. He sighed as he saw her completely emptying her own Magic power but still didn''t manage to heal Laxus, he knew that she would once again try to heal him till her magic power empties and didn''t really wanted to see her suffering like this. He sighed as he called out, "Gildarts, let Wendy rest! I will heal Laxus but make sure that he is under control because if he isn''t then I will use my ways and we are already seeing the result of one of them." Gildarts was surprised to see him and nodded, he knew that if Shun could save Laxus right now but after that, it would be impossible to save him from Shun. He himself wasn''t confident in dealing with Shun let alone Laxus. Shun glanced at Wendy and kissed her forehead, "I am going to do this all because my cute little sister is trying so hard to cure him." Wendy blushed as she loved the amount of attention she received from Shun. Shun looked towards both of them as his face morphed into a serious expression, "Step back both of you¡­ I don''t want you to be hurt." They did step backwards as they saw Shun taking a deep breath and extend his hand as he spoke, "Azure Dragon''s Healing Flames¡­" Suddenly, the Azure Flames completely engulfed the body of Laxus and all the injuries by Shun were being treated at Miraculous Speed. His whole hand and his bones near the rib area connected and his teeth also re-grew. It was like a complete rebirth of his body but without any advantages other than having his normal body back. Shun did gasp for some breath after he completely cured Laxus and Wendy held his hand in worry. She knew that healing magic would always require a large amount of Magic power and he had just used it with a flame, the basic property of flame was very different than that of Wind. Wind wasn''t an attacking element or the destructive Element, it was a supportive element. It was easy to use Wind as a healing magic as it wouldn''t take too much magic power but the Fire was different, the Fire was a destructive and an Attacking Element, the amount of magic power required for healing, she couldn''t even imagine that. RIght now, the respect she held for Shun grew to unimaginable heights, she saw Laxus standing up and looking at Shun with a slight change in his attitude, he was thankful that he was actually healed by Shun¡­ Shun saw this and added, "You don''t need to thank me, thank Wendy. If she didn''t come here then you would have been on this bed before I would feel some slight amount of pity for you!" Laxus did turn towards Wendy and slightly bowed, "Thank you for coming and healing me." Wendy smiled as he heard his apology, she replied with her soft voice, "It''s alright, it was my big brother who hurt you. We are guild mates, I didn''t want any hostility between the guild members!" Makarov entered the room and he was surprised to see Laxus waking up and using his injured hand, he could feel as if Laxus has been cured and turned around and saw Shun leaving the room. It seems as if he hadn''t forgiven Laxus but that was natural, he was a young kid, he would definitely keep grudges for some days. Makarov was indeed angry at Shun when he found out that he was the one who beat Laxus to a pulp but now he wasn''t as angry as before and actually forgiven since Shun has even healed Laxus. He knew he would have to keep them away from each other because they were still not comfortable with each other and Laxus may try to get back at Shun at some other time. He looked towards Wendy and nodded his head as Gildarts took Wendy out of the room and let Makarov talk alone with Laxus. Makarov turned towards Laxus with an elderly look, "Laxus, I believe you know where you were wrong. This was the price of your words, did you think about this at all?" Laxus''s eyes turned cold as he spoke with some anger mixed in his voice, "I don''t get it. Why does everyone in the Fairy Tail likes to protect weak people?" Suddenly, he heard a cold and frightening voice, "I also don''t get it! Why would the guild want to protect a weakling like you? Remember, if you were not in the guild, I don''t think even your corpse would be left." Makarov and Laxus turned around and saw Shun leaning on the door with a cold expression on his face. Laxus felt his body freeze up as soon as he saw Shun looking towards him with those crystal blue eyes. Shun looked towards Makarov and informed him, "Master Makarov, keep a good leash on him. His actions suggest that he wants to fight one more time and I am more than happy with that¡­" Makarov nodded and turned towards Laxus and sternly said, "Laxus, don''t say anything that you shouldn''t say!" Laxus stayed silent as he watched Shun turn around but not before speaking up, "Oh¡­ and for your information. I don''t save weak people in the guild, I am no hero. I save those who are my friends and family. Keep that thing in your head¡­" Laxus stayed silent as he heard that, he didn''t know what to think anymore and just sat down on the bed while thinking about his words. Makarov left him alone and went out so that he won''t disturb Laxus right now. He saw Shun smiling happily with Wendy and carrying her all around and enjoying with her. It was as if he was playing with her, he still remembered that the first thing that he wanted to do after joining Fairy Tail guild was play. He understood what he meant by that¡­ Suddenly, he turned towards Gildarts and saw him holding a poster, he wondered just what was up with that as Gildarts handed him the poster with a small pouch. He was astonished to see around 7,000 Jewels in that small bag and if he remembered correctly, the reward was 10,000 Jewels. 17 After an Year Didn''t that mean that he gave his 70% of the reward? That was more than any share that the others would want to give to the guild. Suddenly, Shun asked Wendy in a curious tone, "Ohh...Where did you stay for the night, Wendy?" Wendy blushed a bit, "I stayed with Erza nee-chan in her room. She let me stay together with her¡­" Shun opened his mouth, "Ohh¡­I guess I got to thank her for that. Don''t worry, I will soon buy a large house, ok." Wendy nodded her head as even though she liked staying with Erza, she was visibly closer to Shun than Erza. Watching Shun right now, nobody could say that he was the same person who had beaten Laxus to the inch of his life. He was a completely different person with a smile on his face. After playing with Wendy for some time, he remembered about Mirajane and his promise to her and her siblings. He had one problem, he forgot about the name of the town. He knew that he could recognize the town if Shun went in it, but he didn''t have any idea about the location of the town. He went towards the Mission Board where the posters were pinned and randomly selected one in which he had to go to a different town. It was about the delivery of an item. Many people were curious as to what mission he would take because of the power he exhibited when he beat up Laxus. They peeked at the Mission poster and were confused as they saw that it was a Delivery Mission, they didn''t understand why such a strong wizard in the guild was going for a C- Rank Mission. They didn''t understand that the reason he did this was that this would let him an opportunity to visit both towns, he could analyze them and see if that was the town in which he spent that one month. He looked towards Wendy and smiled, "Do you want to come with Nii-chan on this mission? It isn''t a dangerous mission, we just have to take something and give it to someone else in another town." Wendy nodded excitedly, she waved back towards the other guild members and started to move out of the guild. As time passed, they took on more and more missions, and in a short time of 1 year, Shun had amassed enough popularity as he was the youngest as well as a member who had completed the highest number of missions. Even though the members of the Fairy Tail feared him except Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Wendy and kept their distance from him, he didn''t really care. Most of the time he would spend alongside Natsu showing him some tricks of Fire control. Unlike Natsu, Shun didn''t detest Gray and also trained him while keeping his own power in check. He wanted to let him get strong to give Natsu a challenge and even so that he could get stronger, their rivalry was amusing and also make them break past their limits. He knew that even though they fought against each other, no other person in the guild knew them better. They had a mutual understanding through fighting, and he wasn''t going to stop that any time soon. This was what Zagnivol did to him all the time, so he didn''t think it was weird, but Erza did believe that it was strange. She tried to get in between their fights, but at that time, Shun would glare at her and let her understand that this all was happening in his jurisdiction. He had seen them fight multiple times but there was never a time when they critically injured the other, he wanted to let them fight, he wanted them to understand each other. He felt as if it would be beneficial in the future¡­ He also searched for a House and bought a beautiful house that was closest to Natsu''s House. It was so that Natsu could come at any time, Wendy seemed to like his presence too as he was a fellow Dragon Slayer as them. His house was pretty significant for 2 people to live inside. It had two floors with a total of 10 rooms and 1 Master Bedroom with 2 Kitchens. The ground floor had 5 rooms, Living Room, and a kitchen while the First Floor had 5 Rooms and a Master Bedroom with a kitchen. Wendy was quite young and didn''t want to sleep in a different room than Shun. Shun agreed to her request even though her own room was just beside to his own. After a month, Natsu requested Shun to live in his house. Shun agreed right away with a smile on his face, he thought of Natsu like a brother. He didn''t have a problem with Natsu living in his house. When Gray got wind of it, he was embarrassed, but he also requested Shun to let him stay in his home. He was really thankful to Shun for training him, he had also seen his strength when he thrashed Laxus and wanted to be like him. He tried to be Strong! He still remembered the death of his teacher, the only one who cared for him. He didn''t want to feel that powerless ever again. He wanted to grow strong, and Shun was actually training him to achieve his goal. Why wouldn''t he be thankful to Shun for that? He had already decided that he would support Shun however he could, no matter what the situation. As he trained together and spent some more time with him, he realized that Shun was a really nice guy, he won''t disturb you or try to fight you and always had a genuine smile on his face. He didn''t think that he had ever seen him angry other than that Laxus incident. ~~ Shun held a piece of paper in his hands, it was a mission for decimating a demon in a town. The name of the town was Shadebrook Town¡­ He didn''t know why but he felt as if it was a familiar name. Shun didn''t think much about it as he felt that he must have been to that town before, he had done too many missions for all of the names to be in his memory. He returned to his house and noticed Wendy sleeping and didn''t look like she was in the mood of waking up. He didn''t wake her up as he thought that it shouldn''t be a big deal to take her along for such an easy mission. It was just a B+ mission. Besides, he heard from Master Makarov that Shadebrook Town wasn''t too far away so he could return before evening if he tried. He covered Wendy with her quilt and went towards the Railway Station as he sighed, he didn''t know why but he still felt an urge to puke whenever he would travel in a Train. He did wonder why that was the case, but he was relieved that he could use his Azure Flames in his body and disperse that feeling. He did the same as he always did and entered the train. It took him about 2 hours to travel to the Shadebrook Town. After he exited the train, he went into the town and was about to talk to some people that suddenly a whole crowd was running towards him. He didn''t know why that was the case and caught one of them from his collar as he curiously asked him, "What''s the reason for such a rush? What happened? Do you know something about the Demon in the village?" The man was slightly shocked such a young boy asking him these questions, he coughed for some time before he started his story, "We just saw a young girl being taken over by the demon in the church. Please let me go, I want to save myself before the demon grab hold of me." Shun did let him go as he stared at the houses and the place, he felt as if it was awfully familiar. The market, the houses¡­ Everything was really familiar. He went straight and saw a Large Church and was shocked, it was because he remembered it. This was the place where he often went and played with Mirajane and her siblings. 18 Mirajanes Hand He was happy that he had returned back to the town and was became a bit dumbfounded as he remained in that state for some time. He felt a lot of memories flashing through his mind as he couldn''t hold back his smile. He even forgot that he had come here to complete the mission, he remembered the number of jobs he took so that he would be able to find their trace and was happy that he had finally entered this town. Suddenly, a small boy crashed into him and fell down, he got out of his daydream as he picked up the boy and started to walk towards the Church. As soon as he entered the church, some small bombs of happiness started to explode in his chest. He caught a glimpse of a head of white hair and saw a familiar girl kneeling on the ground, her face brought waves of nostalgia upon him. He called out to her in his soft voice, "Mira, Is that you?" The girl''s eyes flickered with recognition, tears welled up in her Blue coloured eyes as she glanced at him. A very soft and comforting voice was heard, "Shun, is that you?" Soon, she became a bit more excited as she spoke, her siblings also turned towards him, Elfman and Lisanna didn''t recognise him immediately but they could remember that he was someone familiar, someone they had met before. Mirajane stood up as she was stupefied, she approached Shun with a blank look on her face. It was like she couldn''t believe that she was seeing him right now. She felt as if this was some sort of dream from which she didn''t want to wake up right now. She had missed him very much, her feelings grew for the time they were seperated and didn''t have a limit. And today, an incident had happened in which she thoroughly wished that Shun would be beside her and support her. Mirajane did feel better with her siblings trying to cheer her up but she wanted to know Shun''s view too. Would he still like her now that she was a demon? Would he even talk to her? Shun wrapped his arms around her, "I missed you Mira, I missed you so much." His words let her feel as if she was on top of the world, she was too happy right now that she felt that she could have fought that demon twice for these words. She replied with a longing voice, "Me too, I also missed you very much Shun." Suddenly, Shun felt a strange skin in contact with his hand and noticed her hand had changed to that of a Demonic Hand. As Mirajane saw his eyes looking at her hand, she anticipated some hateful words from him. She was scared now, scared that he would leave her all alone. Scared that he would hate her due to this. She closed her eyes as she thought that he would run away at any moment and she wouldn''t be able take that. Suddenly, she felt a soft hand touching her demonic hand and gripping it tightly. He pulled her close to him using his other hand as he caressed her white hairs. He asked her in his worried voice, "Alright now, tell me what happened here?" Mirajane couldn''t hold back her tears as she didn''t detect any disgust but a genuine worry from his voice. Her tears came out flooding without looking as if it was going to stop. He caressed her hairs as he held her soft body in his arms. Mirajane finally started to speak, "A demon came in the village and was killing people. I and my siblings thought of confronting the demon and my hand touched it. Suddenly, it disappeared and my hand changed to this form." Shun heard her words as he raised his eyebrow, he looked at her hand and felt a concentrated magic on it. He extended his hand as an Azure Flame lit up on top of his fingers and let it on the Dark Hand of Mirajane. Suddenly, the Dark Scaled Hand started to be eaten by his Azure Flame and her white skin was revealed. Mirajane and her siblings watched in surprise as they saw Mirajane''s hand becoming normal. Mirajane looked up and saw him smiling, he had a faint smile on his face, "So, is it alright now?" Mirajane didn''t know what happened but she felt as if it was Magic (*cough cough, technically it was but let''s not think about that*). She tackled him as she started to kiss him all over his face while muttering, "Thank you." "You are the best." "My hero." And all these words. Shun did feel slightly uncomfortable as he was being kissed all over his face but he didn''t complain. Soon enough, Elfman and Lisanna approached them both as Elfman curiously questioned Shun, "Shun, what was that Dark Scaled hand? How did you make it disappear?" Shun smiled as he answered, "That was just the concentrated form of Mirajane''s Magic, she must have manifested when she touched that demon." Mirajane didn''t like this magic as she muttered, "I wished that I didn''t have this power. It made me become a monster." She was surprised when Shun looked at her with a sharp expression and informed her, "Don''t be like that. Imagine what would have happened if you didn''t have this power¡­" His words caused them to realize as they knew that they would have most probably died if not for Mirajane''s Magic. They were thankful for Mirajane''s magic; Mirajane herself didn''t hate her magic as much as before. She nodded to him as he pat her head, they were having a very cute moment that suddenly someone threw their sandals at them. "The demons and demon lover should just die!" Shun didn''t even look at the incoming object and destroyed it in mid-air. The Sandal burned to ashes and he did turn towards the man who threw his sandal, the man shivered as he saw Shun''s Azure Blue eyes looking at him. He felt an unimaginable amount of wrath in those eyes. "Was that supposed to kill us? Weakling!" Suddenly an huge torrent of Azure Flames was released from his body and covered him completely. He had a feral grin on his face, "Believe me, you don''t know a real demon, and I don''t want to become one!" His words were enough for some of them to wet their pants as they ran away from that place, they felt as if a true Demon had arrived there. Shun turned towards the Strauss Siblings as he gave them a heartfelt smile, "Looks like the town doesn''t like you all. Alright then, come with me. I will take you to Fairy Tail guild." They were confused as to what the Fairy Tail guild was except for Mirajane, she was thinking of going there as she had heard some rumours that it was a nice guild. She had thought that the guild would atleast take care of her siblings¡­ Mirajane didn''t know that even she would actually have a chance to go there too. She noticed an Azure Blue Coloured symbol on his Right hand shoulder. She asked him, "What is this Shun?" Shun lowered his head and noticed that she was talking about his Fairy Tail symbol, "This is my Fairy Tail symbol that I got. I have joined the Fairy Tail guild and was wondering if you want to do the same." Mirajane''s expression changed into a beautiful smile as she nodded her head, she and her siblings talked with Shun and started travelling to the Magnolia Town. Shun asked all about their life since he had left them and was a bit sad as he heard them talk about it. He knew that if he was late today then they may have been shunned by the people in the town and would be thrown out of the town because of that demonic hand. As they entered the Fairy Tail guild, Shun opened the door and saw everyone staring at him with some surprise. 19 Mira meets Erza Shun was standing in front of Master Makarov as he explained the incidents regarding Mirajane in which she activated her magic. After some time, Makarov understood which magic it was and says, "Her magic is unique. A very rare form of magic, it is known as Take-Over magic." "Take her to the library and let her read about the Take-Over Magic. She can become a very strong mage with this magic. I have high hopes on you young girl." Makarov smiled at the end of his statement but his words did cause Mirajane to be nervous. She didn''t know if she could stand on their expectations. She felt someone touching her shoulder as saw Shun standing there with a comforting smile on his face, "Don''t worry about that. I am here for you¡­" Mirajane nodded her head as she did feel comforted when she heard him say that, she held his hand and nodded her head, "Yes, master¡­ I shall try my best." WIth that Makarov asked her his question, "Where would you like your Guild Stamp?" Mirajane thought about it for some moments before she replied, "I would like it to be at my Left Thigh." Soon enough, she received the Fairy Tail Stamp on her left thigh in white colour. The same was true for Lisanna but Elfman was different, he asked for the guild mark on the left side of his neck in black colour. After some time, Wendy came in the guild with a worried look as she couldn''t fund Shun anywhere. She wondered if he had gone somewhere without taking her, she wanted to know from master if he knew where he had gone. She was surprised to see him standing next to a beautiful white haired girl and talking happily. Shun turned towards Wendy and smiled at her as he motioned for her to come closer, Wendy did come closer to him as she looked towards Mirajane and her siblings. The Strauss Siblings were also curious about this young girl, especially Mirajane, she knew that Shun didn''t have a family, so who was she? Shun introduced Wendy, "Mira, Elfman, Lisanna, this is Wendy Marvell, my adopted little sister." Mirajane brightly smiled as she heard that and extended her hand, "Hello, I am Mirajane Strauss and these are my siblings Lisanna and Elfman." Both of them also greeted her and Wendy was a bit shy but she nodded. Everyone in the guild already knew from Wendy''s incident that they would be courting their own death if they commented on the people beside Shun. This boy didn''t care about himself that much as much as he cared about Wendy. Shun took them to the library as they wanted to know more about this Take-Over Magic. It sounded pretty interesting and strong as Mirajane actually took over a Demon without any sort of training. The book did explain that the Take Over magic depended on the will of the person. If the user wanted, he/ she could have the power and the form of the being they took over. Their were categories in the Take-Over Magic: beast type, Demon type, Animals Type and Angel type etc. After training for 8 hours, Mirajane was able to enter her Demon Form and come out of it as she willed. Lisanna liked the Animal type of the Take-Over magic and learned it while Elfman learned the last one available for him, The Beast type. In the three siblings, it seemed as if Elfman was the one with the least talent, he was the only one who couldn''t perform a full body take-over. He was sad over this but he covered it up with a smile on his face. Shun was busy training with Mirajane that he didn''t notice Lisanna and Elfman also training in the Take-Over Magic. After 8 hours, Lisanna was flying in the air with two small wings on her back. "Elder Sister, watch this." Lisanna tried to do a stunt but she suddenly became off balance and was about to fell down on the ground. Shun suddenly released huge amount of flames from his feet and jumped towards Lisanna and caught her before she could fall down on the ground and get injured. Mirajane was worried about Lisanna as she approached them both, "What was that Lisanna?" Lisanna sheepishly smiled towards her, "I noticed that Elder Sister was sad at the thought of having Take-Over Magic so I and Elfman also learned this magic. It wasn''t easy but we did get it somewhat." Mirajane was touched as she heard that, she didn''t know how to respond to their feelings. They had actually chosen their own magic because they wanted to cheer her up. She started crying as she hugged Lisanna. She saw Elfman also coming towards their location but his Take-Over wasn''t perfect, it only changed his hands and not his complete body like Mirajane and Lisanna. Shun noticed the sadness on his face as he gave a comforting smile, "You don''t need to be sad about this Elfman. You didn''t find a compatible beast, keep searching and you will find it." "I feel that you have the most potential of becoming stronger but don''t depend on this magic too much. Go to master Makarov and learn some other magic too. Even I am gonna think about learning Re-equip magic, it will make the life pretty easy to carry stuff." He grinned at the end of his speech. Elfman did cheer up at his words, he nodded as he thought that Shun was right. He should just learn another type of magic and become proficient in it. They went back in the Guild hall and Shun facepalmed as he saw Natsu fighting with Gray. He also noticed a red-head getting in between their fight and trying to stop them from fighting. "Don''t fight, let there be discipline in the guild. I don''t care what Shun thinks but you shouldn''t fight in the guild." Mirajane''s ears perked up as she heard that red head say Shun''s name, she turned towards him and question him, "Who are they?" Shun pointed his hand at them as he started to introduce them, "Well, the pink haired boy is Natsu, and the dark haired guy is Gray. They are best of friends while the Red-Haired girl is Erza." Wendy suddenly said to him, "Shun nii-chan, I am hungry right now. Let''s go and eat some food." Mirajane looked at Shun and said in a flat tone, "Shun, go with wendy. I will stay here and meet them." Shun did look at them and thought what was the worse that can happen and left the Guild Hall for a fancy restaurant where he could eat food together with Wendy. Even he himself was starving right now. What he didn''t know was that he had let two tigers on the same mountain, Mirajane looked at Erza, "Hello, who are you?" Erza turned towards Mirajane and replied stoically, "I am Erza Scarlet." Mirajane didn''t really like her tone but she endured as she asked her, "Why are you holding both of them. Let them go!" Erza shook her head in negative as she spoke, "You don''t know, if I let them go. They start fighting again and again." Mirajane had a question in her mind, "What''s it to you if they want to fight? Are you their mother or something?" Erza had a tick mark on her face, "No, but I don''t want them to fight inside the guild." Mirajane didn''t liked that tone as she raised her voice, "Really, if this was such a big deal then Shun would have stopped them." Natsu seemed to agree with her, "Yup, Shun-niichan, doesn''t think that it is a big deal." 20 Eggs Mirajane had a smug expression as she was right about Shun. She continued, "So, leave those kids and do some training for yourself, you armoured freak." Erza did release her hold on Natsu and Gray as she stepped forward and hit her head with Mirajane. A strong aura spread around them as they glared at each other, Natsu and Gray also looked towards each other before they started to fight between themselves. Other members were a bit scared for this new girl. They felt that it was a pity for this new girl to become Erza''s punching bag. But they also felt a slight curiosity as if Erza would dare to hit Mira, from the interaction between Mirajane and Shun they could deduce that they were very close. And the whole guild had witnessed when someone tried to go against his close ones, like the case with Laxus. It seemed as if Erza remembered that and controlled her own emotions as she turned towards Natsu and Gray, "Don''t fight both of you!" Her voice was mixed with threat as Natsu and Gray raised their hands in the air and stopped fighting in fear of Erza. THey silently glared at each other giving the looks that they would continue it later¡­ After Erza went towards the bar and ordered her favourite strawberry cake, Mirajane wonder what she should do and sat down on a nearby stool. Some people who were curious neared her, "Ahem¡­ I see that you and Shun came together in the guild. Are you two close?" Now this caused everyone around them to turn their head towards Mirajane, they were curious as to what her relationship was with Shun. "Well, we were friends and played together for around a month and then Shun left because of something important. But yeah, I think we are close." Everyone sucked a breath of cold air, they knew that they shouldn''t ever make trouble with her. She was someone whom Shun knew even before Wendy and he was already overprotective of her, what''s to say for Mirajane. Even Erza was surprised as she heard her answer and sighed in relief that she didn''t try to fight against Mirajane. She looked weak and didn''t really think that she had the endurance to survive a single blow from her. She knew that she would have been beaten on the brink of death by Shun, he wouldn''t have cared if Master interfere or Gildarts did. He would go berserk and that was the last thing that anyone wanted in the guild. Even now, Laxus wouldn''t look in Shun''s eyes, he was reminded of those Cold eyes of the person who trashed him like a doll. Shun ignored Laxus and acted as if he didn''t exist, he was mostly busy with missions and training Natsu and Gray. In the short amount of 1 year, they could see that Natsu''s control over flames was much better, he could now atleast fight against the Wyverns on equal terms while using his superior Magic on those beasts. Shun was surprised by Gray''s Ice, it was like some sort of power was hidden in it, he didn''t understand just how could a normal Ice Wizard match the strength and power of a Dragon Slayer Wizard. Maker Magic was rare but it wasn''t rare enough to be known as Lost Magic like the Dragon Slayer Magic. It depended more on the perception of the user and the way he uses his Element but it wouldn''t make it super strong. He knew that there must be something much more mysterious going in that Ice, that Ice contained some slayer elements. He didn''t know what it was but it definitely wasn''t the Dragon Slayer Magic. Right now, Shun was comfortably sitting in the restaurant as Wendy put her head in his lap and was sleeping with a smile on her face. Shun sat there while patting her head and softly touching her hairs. Wendy was just having a small nap so she woke up after half an hour and yawned. She saw Shun still sitting there as she realized, "Waaaah, Shun nii-chan, I am so sorry. I didn''t even know when I fell asleep¡­" Shun smiled softly as he ruffled her soft blue hairs, "Hey, don''t worry about that¡­ I was happy to spend some time with my Cute Little Imouto." His words caused Wendy to blush as she hugged with that adorable expression. They went out of the restaurant and suddenly two large eggs fell down from the sky. Shun caught them both and prevented Wendy from being injured¡­ He saw some strange markings on both eggs and thought that they were actually larger than normal eggs. He put down one of the egg and Wendy touched it while he felt a strange connection with the egg in his hands. He didn''t even realize that his eyes glowed for some few moments before a Blue Aura covered the whole egg and making it shine. (A/N: Ehem¡­ The best example would be like how pokemons evolved. The whole white shiny thing...) He was a bit surprised by the egg shining but soon it stopped shining and became normal. He was slightly surprised to see the egg seemed a bit larger in size than before. It was also heavier and released a strange and strong aura, it was like he had breathed life into the egg. He looked down towards Wendy and saw her staring at the Egg with a slight wonder. It was like she wanted this Egg as he own, he kneeled down, "So, imouto wants this egg¡­" Wendy nodded her head as she softly replied, "This maybe a Dragon''s egg, Shun Nii-chan." Shun wasn''t so sure about that but he nodded so as to let her keep her hope for the dragons. He took her back to the guild, he saw MIrajane sitting together with her siblings while talking to them. He neared her as he remembered that she mustn''t have a place to stay for tonight. He did ask her, "So, where do you plan to stay at night today?" Mirajane started thinking deeply as she wondered about this, it was indeed a big question. They didn''t have any jewels to rent a house and Mirajane looked at Shun, "Where do you live Shun?" It wasn''t Shun who answered the question, it was Wendy, "Shun nii-chan and I, we live in the house he bought." Mirajane wasn''t that surprised, she still remembered that Shun had an unimaginable amount of jewels with him when they were young and those were just going to increase. Mirajane questioned about the house, "How large is it¡­?" Wendy started to flail her arms as he spoke, "It''s really large. I think it has 10 rooms and right now, only 4 rooms are filled." Her words did cause Mirajane to be surprised, she didn''t think that Shun was living in such a large house. "Ohh¡­" Let out by Mirajane and her siblings. Mirajane looked towards her siblings and knew that she wouldn''t be able to get a place to live in before they could start earning the jewels. She looked towards Shun with a slightly pitiful eyes, "Ne-ne, Shun, would you let us stay with you in your house till I am capable enough to earn enough money and buy my own?" Shun raised his eyebrow as he heard her, "Huh¡­ and here I was thinking that I should let you guys stay with me. I wasn''t with you for these years Mira and I want to make up for them¡­ Stay in my house for as long as you want." He didn''t even realize that his words caused Mirajane to start blushing a bit, he simply turned around and saw Lisanna curiously staring at the eggs in his hands as well as Wendy''s hands. Suddenly, Natsu rushed in the guild with a egg of the similar size to that of Wendy''s egg. 21 Shuns house He seemed to be in a very excited mood as he shouted, "Everyone, I have just found out a Dragon''s Egg." All the guild members started to laugh as soon as they heard his words, they felt as if a kid blabbering and didn''t really give him any attention to his words. Everyone in the world knew that the Dragons were long since extinct, who would believe if a kid said that he found a Dragons'' Egg. None, whatsoever! Natsu noticed that everyone seemed to ignore him so he turned towards Shun, he was startled to see two more eggs with them. He was excited as he saw them with those large Eggs, he neared Shun as he excitedly said, "Wow, Shun nii, Wendy, you also got these Dragon Eggs. This is so nice, now we are soon going to have our own Dragons." He started to day-dream at the end of his statement, he dreamed of a strong and Big ass Dragon which was letting out Flames that were similar to that of Igneel''s flames. He suddenly remembered that he didn''t know much about hatching an egg, he was nervous as he asked Shun, "Ne ne, Shun nii, Do you know anything about how to hatch this egg?" This time, even Wendy turned towards him, she was also curious as to how to hatch this egg. She also had thought that this Egg was a Dragon Egg and wanted to hatch it as soon as possible. He was slightly uncomfortable right now, he didn''t know how to respond to their innocent and hopeful eyes. He had never seen an egg hatch nor heard it, that was not his problem. He coughed a few times before he cleared his voice and spoke. Lisanna was standing beside Shun as she listened to them talking, she butt in their conversation, "Well, you have to warm the egg." Natsu''s eyes brightened as soon as he heard that, he grinned as he spoke, "Well then, me and Shun nii are perfect for this task." Fire lit up on his palm as he was about to lit the Egg on fire and make it warm. He had this really happy grin as he felt that he was about to do a great task, Lisanna''s was wide-eyed, she didn''t think that this would happen in front of her. She suddenly caught his hand and spoke in an urgent tone, "No, don''t burn it. You have to make it warm¡­" Natsu was a hell lot of confused right now, he wondered, "So what should I do? How else do I keep it warm?" Lisanna smiled brightly as she stated, "My magic is perfect for this task. Animal Soul: - Bird." Suddenly, she changed into a bird with green and pinkish feathers. She sat on the egg as she uttered, "You have to use your body heat to warm the egg not with fire." Natsu still had that confused expression on his face, "Well, I still don''t get it. I was warming it up-" He didn''t speak ahead as he saw Lisanna glared at him. Seeing them, Wendy turned towards Shun as she wondered, "Shun nii, how should we warm the egg?" Shun lightly ruffled her hairs as he smirked, "Don''t worry about them. I can feel the life force in our egg is very strong, they will soon hatch without warming them up. The one in your egg seems to be excited to come out¡­" His words caused Wendy to stare at the egg with a lot of expectations in her eyes, she wondered if this little one would be like Grandine, a Kind yet strong Dragon. Shun himself looked towards his own egg and saw that it seemed to be shaking slightly. He knew that the time was close before it would hatch from the egg, he knew that this wasn''t a Dragon Egg but he did want to know whose egg it was. It was a strange egg with such a large size, it definitely wasn''t normal. Suddenly, he saw Lisanna taking away Natsu to some place, Mirajane saw them and lightly smiled as she remembered that she used to do that to Shun when they were little. Shun also looked towards her smirked, "Alright, let''s show you around the town." With that, they started to roam in the Magnolia¡­ Shun showed them (Mirajane and Elfman) every place of the town and also let them experience very delicious food from one of the most expensive restaurant. Jewels was something he didn''t lack, so he used them like he owned the whole town. After touring them around the whole town, he returned back to his own house. He was tired so he entered his room and laid down on it and lazed around. While he was lazing around on his bed, Mirajane and others were exploring and appreciating the whole house. The funny thing was that Wendy was their guide as she let them around the whole house¡­ Mirajane entered the kitchen and smiled as she saw the clean utensils and the food in a nearby basket. She decided that she would surprise Shun with her cooking tomorrow¡­ While this was happening, Natsu was playing house with Lisanna, even though the poor boy didn''t realize it. Gray was training right now, he was trying to use his ice to completely freeze the floor like Shun had asked him but it was a hard task. He could add a small layer of Ice but it''s range was quite limited and weak. He knew that he would have to practise more so that he could be proficient in it. He was also asked by Shun to improve his control over ice, like he could focus the ice on a particular area. It was so that he could improve the strength of his Ice while sacrificing the large area that it covered. Well, Gray did like the thought of that, he knew that he had to be a bit more diverse in his use of ice so that he could adjust to different situations. He returned back to Shun''s house and saw those 2 new members in the house. He wondered what they were doing here and questioned them, "What are you three doing here?" Mirajane glanced at him through the corner of her eyes as she repeated his question but also raising her voice, "And what are you doing here?" Gray raised his eyebrows as he heard her question, "Huh¡­ what? What do you mean by that? This is the place I live." Mirajane''s eyes narrowed as she glared at him, she didn''t sense him lying to her, "What do you mean¡­? Isn''t this Shun''s place?" Gray started to inform her everything, "He noticed that I didn''t have a good place to stay so he invited me to live in this house since it was too big for him to live alone. He said that I could take any room and I chose the one on the ground floor." Mirajane nodded her head in understanding, she faintly smiled as she heard his words, she started thinking with a light blush on her creamy white face ''He is so kind to others like when we met. Ohh well, since Shun let him stay here then I will be nice to him.'' She smiled a little in gray''s direction as she voice out with a soft voice, "Alright, since Shun said that I won''t say anything. Actually, he also gave the same offer to me and my siblings. I hope we will be good friends soon¡­" Gray nodded as he wasn''t opposed to making new friends, besides, Mirajane seemed nice enough right now and the Young boy with her seemed shy, he thought that he will be nice to them too and help them out if he could. He replied back to her, "I also hope the same, I will help you out any way I can so don''t feel shy to call me for help." Mirajane grinned as she heard his words as she says, "Don''t mind if we do. Hehehehe¡­." Gray felt a weird sense of danger, he felt as if he had just entered hell without any way to come back, this strange sense of danger was quite uncomfortable and he will soon know the reason for it. 22 Finding Natsu Natsu and Lisanna didn''t return back to Shun''s house and Mira was getting a bit worried for them, she hesitated before she went to Shun''s room and saw him sleeping comfortably on his bed with Wendy on the other side of the bed. His sleeping face was so adorable that she wanted to hug it right now with no intention of leaving it any time soon, but right now, she wanted to find her little sister before it was too late, she was her younger sibling. She didn''t know what she would do if they couldn''t find Lisanna, from the interactions that she observed from Shun and Natsu, she knew that they were also very close to each other, she knew that he would be incredibly sad if Natsu disappeared. She nudged him a bit as his body shook a bit but he didn''t wake up, Mirajane wasn''t irritated as she nudged him once more and softly spoke, "Shun, Shun¡­ Wake up please. I am a bit worried about my little sister, I do not know why she has not returned back here." Hearing her words, Shun did open his eyes, he was still in a half sleepy state and was a bit startled to see Mirajane standing so close to him. His mind finally registered what she had said as he stood up from his bed. Shun turned his head and saw Wendy still sleeping soundly and let out a sigh of relief, he didn''t want her to wake up in between her sleep. He saw Mirajane standing with an anxious expression on her face, she looked as if she was about to started speaking to him and explain the whole matter. Mirajane opened her mouth to speak but suddenly felt Ryusuke''s finger on top of her lips as he whispered softly, "Shhhh¡­. Let''s go outside, I don''t want Wendy to wake up. She seemed really tired today¡­" Mirajane nodded her head as even she didn''t want Wendy to wake up right now, both of them started to move out of the room. Shun was moving quite close to Mirajane and his sharp nose picked up her feminine lavender scent that seems to be spreading from her body. He didn''t know why but he felt his body heating up as he smelled that scent, it was a very foreign experience for him. Shun didn''t dare ask this as he didn''t want to worry Mirajane more, she already seemed plenty worried. Mirajane was also in the similar status, she was also slightly lost as she smelled his masculine smell, her demon instincts due to her magic were telling her ''He is the one, do it¡­ do it¡­ DO IT!'' She took a deep breath as she tried to control her demon instincts and then turned around to face Shun. Worry was etched onto her face as she spoke, "Shun, I am worried for Lisanna, she followed Natsu and still hasn''t returned. Do you know where Natsu might have taken her¡­?" Shun closed his eyes as he thought for some moments, he did remember that Natsu would go to a place to train around, only some weak beasts lived there so Shun didn''t really mind Natsu training there. He nodded his head as he smiled a little and consoled Mirajane. "Don''t worry, I think I have an idea where they are." Mirajane let out a sigh of relief as soon as she heard his words, she knew that if he had an idea then there was a good chance that they will find them. "Follow me!" He ordered Mirajane as he got out of the house and moved towards the forest in which Natsu usually trained, after a certain point, he could smell Natsu''s smell, he had been with him for so long that he remembered his scent. Shun looked towards Mirajane''s direction and pokes one side of her cheek to gather her attention, he grins as he says, "Don''t worry now¡­ I found them. They are close by¡­" His words caused Mirajane to sigh in relief, she was thankful that he had found them. She followed Shun and noticed a hut made of straw and other mud like stuff, she followed Shun as they entered the straw hut and saw her sister and Natsu sleeping there while hugging the egg very tightly. Shun smiled as he saw this and then turned towards Mirajane, "Looks like you were worried for nothing. Seems like they were too tired to return back home." Mirajane nodded her head as she heard his words, "Yes, I guess I was overthinking too much." She stretched her hands up in the air as she yawned and expressed her desire to sleep now, "I am tired now. Let''s go back and sleep... " Shun nodded as he glanced at Natsu and others one last time and returns back to the house. ~~ The next morning, Shun wakes up as he feels soft lips coming in contact with his cheeks. His eyes open as he catches a glimpse of those purple hair and smiles a bit, he knew that it was Wendy who was awake now. Shun saw her running out of the room as she seemed quite embarrassed to do this, he stretches his hands as he stands up and speaks up, "Well, well¡­ Wendy come back here." Wendy heard his words and was a bit nervous but she still entered the room. Shun saw her fidgeting and very nervous to speak to him, Shun had a slightly serious expression on his face as he says, "Come closer!" Wendy was a bit startled with that tone as she had never heard Shun talk to her in that tone. "Yes, Nii-chan~" She softly speaks up as she closes the distance between herself and Shun. Shun kneels down and kisses her forehead and suddenly pulls her into a hug as he exclaims, "KAWAI~ My little sister is so cute!" Wendy was surprised as she heard his words, she thought that she would be scolded by Shun and not hugged, she also returned the hug as both of them remained in that hug for some time. Shun finally let her free from his hug and smiles brightly. Wendy lowered her head as she had a slightly sad expression on her face, "I thought big brother didn''t like that and wanted to scold me." Shun held his hand and raised her face by pushing her chin in upward direction and looked it her eyes. He used that hand and flicked her forehead, Wendy let out a cry of pain, "Ow¡­. Why did you do that?" Shun just hmphed as he pouted a little and spoke in a depressed tone, "My little sister thinks that I will not like her. I hate and despise that thought ¡­" Wendy hugged him as the tears threatened to burst out from her eyes, "Ohh nii-chan, I-I won''t ever think like that. You are the best big brother in the world." Shun hugged her back as he says, "And you are the cutest and best younger sister in the world." With that, she both parted and then went downstairs where Mirajane had made the meal. Elfman seems to be munching the breakfast and Shun was also curious as to how was Mira''s cooking. He sat down on the chair and started to eat the breakfast, as soon as he swallowed the first bite, his speed at eating nearly tripled, he felt as if he was more hungry than usual. He had a delighted expression on his face as he exclaimed, "Wow! This food is heavenly¡­ Even those top restaurants food is nothing in front of this." He looked towards Mirajane with a strange fanaticism in his eyes, Mirajane had goosebumps as she felt her whole body being gazed at by Shun with that fanatic look in his eyes. Her cheeks reddened as she was happy that he was gazing at her with such a look¡­ 23 Announcemen @@ Everyone, my friend Evil_Dragon is releasing his original work on a new website named Moonquill, its a new website that has been launched today and has the potential to be better than Webnovel for Original Authors.
