In the course of the week I learned ice magic, script magic, transformations, speed, water magic, and earth magic. I also taught myself how to speak and write different languages for jobs. Today all the dragon slayers were attempting to teach me their magic. I watched their roars, their special moves, what they do for each. They also narrate everything they do, how they feel it and where they find the power.
"Okay, I'll try now."
I said. I sat down to pick up the feeling of air around me, I breathed it in and breathed it out. I absorbed the energy of the sun, feeling the tingle of the fiery heat trying for fire. I also felt deep within the earth, to the minerals, to the metal. I opened my eyes slowly to see three large creature in front of me. dragons. I didn't break eyes contact with them, though I knew I was the only one who could see then. The blue one spoke to me in the most elegant voice, she was the dragon of air. She told me how to do everything through my valiant efforts. The red one, the fire dragon, told me to carry myself with bravery like I was and fight for the good ones. Then the black one, Metallica, he told me how to stick up for what I believe in and not to let others push me around, he also told me that arrogance is not always good, and to tell that to his son. I smiled and closed my eyes, when I opened them again I saw two different dragons. Another black and a golden one. Darkness and light. I felt the shadows stretching to me and the light in the sun kiss my skin. They each told me to meet their son's and that having a family to love is not bad. That it's good to have people you rely on and that emotion is not bad. I closed my eyes with tears in them and in a fluid motion I stood and turned to a tree. I opened my eyes before I yelled out:
"Element dragon roar"
The tree burst into flames consumed in darkness while the air around us fed the fire and the light showed through the strands, showing small metal particles floating down. I turned to the surprised dragon slayers, I was going to tell them about their parents but decided against it.
"I think I did it!"
Gajeel laughed and brought me into a hug before turning me to put out the fire. I sheepishly sprayed water on the poor tree and grey it back to health.
"Heh, whoops..."
Natsu was already in the guild yelling that I'm an element dragon slayer. Everyone filed out of the guild to congratulate me.
"I wanna see proof!"
Someone yelled from the back.
I felt something inside me change and I knew I had a new asset.
