Training with Igneel
Lucy's POV
Mother speaks again. "Before I locked away your powers, you knew every type of magic: celestial, god slayer, animus, fairy, demon, angelic, nature,dragon slayer, and animagus. When I locked it away, I was bartering your safety for your knowledge. You must relearn them, in order to stop the black Mage, Zeref. Even though I was the person to seal away your magic, I could barely do it. You are much more powerful than me. You were even when you were young." I readily agreed to the training. I could also use this newfound power to annihilate Natsu. And his prissy, bratty girlfriend. I tried clearing the clingy white-haired girl from my mind. A spark of resentment ignited in my chest. Why was SHE the one to capture Natsu's heart? Envy welled up inside me. What? I can't be falling for Natsu! But I did like him as more than a friend before he became- well, NOT my friend. I would show everyone! I am not weak.
"You will train with the dragons first." Mother told me as she handed me new bronze keys to summon the dragons. Oh yay! I get to meet Natsu's dad and tell him how much of an asshole Natsu is being.
The next day, I start training with Igneel. I told him about everything that had transpired, and he growled. "So that's how he treats the eleental princess... Don't ever summon me around him, or I won't be able to guarantee his life." I giggled. "Trust me, Gray and Erza are back at Fairy Tail kicking his ass." Igneel flew to his island with me on his back. He taught me original fire dragon slaying magic, then took it to the next level on the last day of training. "Since you already know the basics, I'm going to teach you something no dragon slayer has achieved, but with your power, you should easily be able to do it. I'm going to teach you how to fly."
"So think of fire. Only fire. Then think of wings, and combine them. Wings of fire. You can use them to fly and attack, and they stay on until you dismiss them. And one more thing; if you concentrate, you can transform into an actual dragon."
I concentrated on fire. The essence of fire was heat, and it gave off energy in the form of light, so I imagine myself as fire. Suddenly, my skeletal structure expanded, a tail stretching behind my, my face elongating into a snout, my fingernails transforming into sharp talons. Next, I concentrate on my human form, and picture graceful crimson wings stretching from my figure. I feel my anatomy change again, and when I open my eyes, I'm hovering in midair, in my human form. A spiky, red-haired man stands in front of me, and he has the same wings, albeit a bit more masculine. "You have completed your training. In only three days." He bows. "Princess Lucy, you are worthy of the title." I walk up to him and look at him. Igneel reminded me so much of Natsu that it made my heart hurt. A tear finds its way down my cheek, and Igneel pulls me into a hug. "I'd like to have you as a daughter one day, my dear," he murmurs, then takes off. A feminine voice behind me scoffs skeptically, "Well, isn't he the master of flashy exits?"
