57Hey guys! How are you all doing?
Well, this is the new story I will be writing. 'Blazing' cool name, huh?
This story is inspired by another story - 'The silver dragon of the crimson flame'. I loved that story. I won't tell you about the plot, but I will be updating on every Sunday. After 12th March 2021, because you know I have exams!
After my exams, I will be updating both stories every Sunday. My last exam is on the 12th so don't worry. ;) :)
Oh yeah, one more thing, I don't know why other writers do this but, I'm also doing it.
"Human speech"
'Human thoughts'
"Dragon speech"
'Dragon thoughts'
Here is the long-awaited Prologue. (Can't help it, gihihi)

Year X370
It was the time for Sun to go on its daily chore and, it was beginning to peek on earth from the horizon. The birds were chirping, the cool breeze caressing the grass and the calm water making its way down the stream.
A young man was walking.
He wore black clothes with golden trims and a white toga draped across his torso with black hair and eyes. This man was none other than the black wizard – Zeref.
Zeref was looking for a unique type of herbs at daybreak because those herbs would bloom only at this time of the day.
He desperately wanted to return to his younger brother.
He signed and advanced in his way. The forest trees were shining like emerald gems, So beautiful, sheltering several forms of wildlife. Wildflowers and bushes made the pathway on which Zeref wandered. He paused upon reaching a patch of a flowerbed.
He found it, 'Aferdita,' the herbs that he was searching for.
They were beautiful white delicate flowers swaying slightly as the breeze came by, carrying its sweet scent in the air.
While he acknowledged its beauty, suddenly, an enormous claw was there on the herb. Crushing it.
Zeref looked at the source of the claw.
Much to his surprise found a red dragon looking down at him with a slight smirk.
Igneel looked down at the human below him with amusement. He never understood humans. They were an enigma to him. They could talk, build and do much more things with their puny brains.
Though he did not assume the human to start talking, "My, my never would have I thought that I will meet a dragon here, what is your name red dragon?"
Igneel looked at the human and snorted some smoke through his nostrils before answering, "Now, now human first you tell me who you are?" with pride.
The black wizard sighed, "My name is Zeref."
Igneel's eyes widen in slight surprise, 'so the rumored black wizard is him?'
He said, "So you are the Black Wizard I've heard of?," Igneel hummed, " nice to make your acquaintance. My name is Igneel – 'The Fire Dragon King '. Do not worry I'm not hostile towards humans." Igneel told Zeref in a formal tone.
Zeref was delighted to befriend Igneel and, with a slight smile, he replied, "Thank you Fire Dragon King for making me your friend, you have my deepest gratitude."
And that was the day a dragon and an immortal human became friends.

Some Other day – X370
From that day on Igneel, and Zeref became friends and interacted with each other on occasions.
Like that only, one-day Zeref seek, Igneel for a piece of advice. "Apparently my little brother, Natsu doesn't want to learn to read and write. What should I do about this problem Igneel?" Zeref explained to the fire dragon king. Igneel was in deep thought, 'Many dragons have taken disciples, then…'
Igneel answered, "Why don't I teach you little runt for a brother, Dragon Slayer Magic eh?"
Zeref was startled at this proposal and thought before asking, "Will you agree with this Igneel?"
"Yes." was Igneel's plain reply.
"But firstly, I want you to never tell Natsu about me under any circumstances. If the situation is dire, then you must tell him for it is his right to know." Zeref informed Igneel and continued, "And secondly, as I have told you about E.N.D. right?" he took a breath and at Igneel's nod, he revealed, "Its full name is Etherious. Natsu. Dragneel."
At this disclosure, Igneel's eyes widened not in surprise but anger.
Igneel was angry no… He was seething with rage.
"How can you even think that I will teach a demon of yours my magic!?"
"You can decide after you meet him Igneel, I resurrected my younger brother as a demon. Thinking he will be powerful enough to kill me." said Zeref with a saddened gaze.
That caught Igneel off guard, "Very well then, bring your brother to me if he will be dangerous, I will kill him for the sake of humanity. If not then, I shall decide."
Zeref nodded slightly, Natsu's fate lied completely in Igneel's decision.

Year - X373
It has been three years, three years since Igneel has taken Natsu as his student.
Natsu is now six years old since he was three when Igneel took him in.
When Igneel first saw Natsu, he was a small boy with pink [Ahem] salmon-coloured hairs that were…unusual. The little boy has onyx black eyes and a toothy grin pasted with some permanent glue (which Igneel didn't know of) on his face.
To say Igneel decided not to kill Natsu was an understatement. When Natsu saw Igneel, instead of being afraid, he ran toward Igneel with his toothy grin and hugged his enormous snout, which was on the ground.
Igneel instantly felt a fatherly connection to Natsu and decided to train him.
Natsu was nothing like Igneel imagined.
But ….teaching him was a huge pain. He could have sworn that he never heard of a human who is as stubborn as Natsu. Nonetheless, Igneel was happy and cherished his moments with him.
The black wizard, Zeref and a Celestial Wizard named Anna Heartfilia has devised a plan. With the rise of Acnologia, the entire dragon race is in danger and, the ethernano in this current era is less. So they will travel 400 years in the future via the Eclipse gate made by Zeref. For the gate to open, Anna decided to help to open the gate.
She is a very kind-hearted woman who adores children and, she also teaches the dragon slayers about language, culture and people. With Igneel, his four dragon friends have also taken pupils, who are four orphaned children.
Grandeeney took Wendy Marvell; Metalicana took in Gajeel Redfox; Wisselogia took in Sting Euciff; Skiadrum took Rogue Chenney.

"Not agaaain!?" Natsu yelled in exasperation. After breaking a boulder with his flaming fist for the 6th time.
"You will do it again brat, not until you have learnt to not let your magic run wild." Igneel replied sternly, his arms folded and a scolding look in his eyes.
The Pinkett stared at his hands and pondered how he could complete this task. He had been trying to break boulders since last week, but nothing was working at these damn boulders!
'If I break the boulder now then I will get to play with Igneel.' Natsu grinned at that thought, but how to do it?
"Brat!"
Natsu jumped at Igneel's call, "Huh?"
"Why were you grinning like a madman like you are?" Igneel released some smoke through his nostrils.
"huh, uh?" asked a still dazed Natsu. He shook his head.
"Okay! if I break this boulder perfectly, will you take me hunting with you?" Natsu asked with such shine that Igneels couldn't resist his request.
He mused for a moment and again saw the look on his son's face, "I agree son, if you break four boulders without your magic running wild then, I will take you with me."
Hearing that, Natsu perked up. Concentrating on his magic, he set his fist ablaze and hit the first boulder with the magic concentrated on his fist. Shattering the boulder on contact.
'Now that I think about it, that was easier than the last boulder I shattered.'
"I did it, I did it, yay!" the young dragon slayer exclaimed, "Igneel look, I did it." Natsu shouted, dancing and jumping with glee.
Igneel sweatdropped at his son's antics but was happy nonetheless. His nostrils flared, the dragon growled, "Break the remaining three boulders brat, than celebrate."
With his new enthusiasm and technique, Natsu shattered the remaining three boulders.
And with that, both father and son went hunting. Both of them, happy.
