An Emotional Reunion:

For the first time since he got turned into this monster Natsu felt relieved and calm. At the sight of the sea, no one to attack him...it felt way better than he could ever have imagined. Walking closer towards the water, he looked down at his own reflection. His eyes widened in shock. The claws...it have just returned back to his normal hands. His blood red eyes, were back to his innocent true ones!

"I-I..." the male moved his hand up to stroke his fingers lightly against his own cheek. "Don't understand. I am back to normal, and for good?" the male asked himself in confusion before raising his head up again and looked around. The whole town seemed to be in peace. It definitely sent a good feeling for Natsu, unlike stressful city as Magnolia did.

Turning back, the male walked up the stairs to leave the beach and decided to walk past the road. Maybe the pinkette could find a nice store or maybe something better? A place to eat! "This place truly is huge for being a town for ships to arrive." the male muttered with a soft chuckle.

After a few minutes of walking past the road, the pinkette finally caught sight of a nice restaurant and decided to step inside. However, the place did not give him too positive vibes. After all, the place reminded him too much of Fairy Tail. Deciding to ignore those thoughts he walked over towards a table and smiled as the waiter handed him a menu. 'I am just a little kid, yet they treat me as a decent human being. I was never treated like this in Magnolia. I wonder why..." Natsu could not help but have the thought of his past. No, he had to move on!

Grabbing the menu he opened it up, flipping through the pages to find the dish he would like. "Wow...it is very cheap here comparing to Magnolia..." The male whispered to himself as he almost drooled at the pictures of the dishes. Sure, it was mainly fishes, but it did not matter. The boy had not eaten properly in a couple of days and was craving for any type of food really.

After a few minutes had past, Natsu had finally managed to decide and order grilled salmon along with potatoes and a glass of cola. Reaching for his pocket, he got out a few golden coins and placed it on the table as he waited patiently for his food.

Meanwhile Natsu Eats...

The blackhaired dark mage could not help but chuckle at the sight of finally reaching land, but he also felt the presence of his brother way closer than expected.

"He is nearby that place, isn't he Zeref?"

Usually he expected that those words would come from Irene. After all, only she and August were allowed to call him by name, even though August kept calling him Master to show him his loyalty.

Glancing down beside him stood the small redhaired female. The male could not help but grin. "You getting really clever, just as I expected. Just like your mother. It will certainly be interesting to see you and Natsu's development in future."

Erza looked up at the black mage with widened eyes. Did The Emperor just praise her? "Thank you hehe...mother has helped me a lot. Without her...I would of never been this strong." the little girl muttered as she glanced down at the water.

"Maybe. Do not ever lose your confidence. You have great power! Even though you are only 11 years old. You have potential to surpass most of the Spriggan" The male spoke with a grin as he placed his hand on her shoulder, giving it a gentle pat.

"Oh, really? And your brother...Natsu?" The little girl asked as she turned around, ready to leave for the bedroom. She wanted to get some rest before they arrive at the Port.

"Oh him...for now, he might not be as strong. After all...there in Fairy Tail they more play around than actually become powerful. But his potential...oh, well if I said it like this." The black mage turned to watch Erza walk towards the door.

"If he does, Natsu could even surpass me."

At those words the female stopped in  her tracks. Natsu, this powerful? No way! She was way more powerful than him at the moment and she planned to never let the boy surpass her, ever! She would work hard to achieve that.

"D-does that mean...will he become the next Emperor then?"

Zeref just shook his shoulders. "I do not know, I guess we have to wait and see." the male spoke with a grin as he walked towards the young girl.

"But every emperor needs his empress." the male finished with a smirk before walking inside his room, locking the door.

"W-wha?" Erza watched as she stood still, watching Zeref leaving her. The female had to admit, she was confused at the moment. Was that a hint that Natsu could have someone to rule with in future, or was it something else.

"Quite the interesting chat, you two had there."

Erza turned back to find her mother stand there, looking down at her with a grin.

"Mom..."

The Scarlet Despair bent down and wrapped his arms around her and closed her eyes.

"I did not expect him to reveal such information to you...already. Many of the Spriggans do not know it even. He must like you a lot."

"B-but Zeref cannot love or care, right?" The little girl whispered as she looked at her mother in confusion. She needed answers.

"You believe in that lie, really?" Irene asked as a soft laugh escaped her lips. "Now, let's say...100 years ago, Zeref found a way through his curse, so those people won't die. It just...he really has to love or care for those people"

"Do you think really Zeref would accomplish this much by himself? He has a empress, a lover ruling by his side." The female finally exclaimed.

Lifting Erza up, she walked towards the bedroom and stepped inside.

Erza just decided to stay quiet. Just taking in all the words her mother had told him. It was much to take in. 'We have an empress? No way! Why does barely anyone know? What is the thing'.

The confused little girl had to remove these confused thoughts away. They would arrive by the Port very soon and she was definitely looking forward to see how Natsu was like.

With Natsu;

"Ah, that was great!" The pinkette spoke in satisfaction as he had just finished his food and had a firm grip on his belly.

"You know, I am really happy you are here. You are a true friend, Mira." Natsu exclaimed as he glanced over at the white haired female sitting on the opposite side of the table.

"But how did you find me?" The male asked as he raised an eyebrow.

Mirajane could not help but giggle at the male's question.

"Well I just followed the road on in the forest. Then it was these two idiots with same name that was in search after you. They named something about you running away from them to the Port, so I did the same!"

"Oh right, Caine and Cane..." Natsu grinned as he moved his hand to the back of his neck to scratch it.

"And then when I arrived here. It was quite an easy guess you would be here for the food!" Mirajane finished with a laugh as Natsu soon joined in with laughter.

"But of course I would come." The White Haired girl exclaimed. Her voice more serious. "You were the one that made me feel like home in Fairy Tail and to see them treat you like a monster for being...different. I could not handle it, I had to leave!"

"Mira..." The male whispered, a teardrop falling down his cheek. He actually had a loyal friend left after what had happened.

Wiping the tear away, the male suddenly grunted in slight pain, it was almost like a headache. "Ugh, my head."

Glancing up his eyes widened. Literally all people inside the restaurant had fallen down unconcious. "This magic...it is frightening. I have never felt something like this before" The male muttered to himself then quickly ran towards Mirajane.

"I feel dizzy..." the young female whispered before loosing her conciousness as well, thus making Natsu catch her.

'I have to get out of here!' holding the female in a tight grip, he ran out of the restaurant. His eyes widening even more. In fear, shock and confusion. Every single person outside had been knocked out, by a mere presence only! This magic, this dark aura...Makarovs magic was no way near this, or any of the magic council either!

Walking towards the beach, while carrying his friends his eyes widened even more, if that was possible at the moment. An enormous, black ship had just arrived and he could definitely tell that inside that ship was were the people was.

The more he thought about it, the more scared Natsu was becoming? These people...were they going to kill him. As fear built inside him, the male's claws started to appear again, along with his blood red eyes. Natsu dropped Mirajane down on the sand immediately since he knew his claws would burn her skin.

"Who are you!" the pinkette growled in anger, he almost prepared to jump up on the ship, but got interrupted by a voice coming from behind.

"As I expected. Only you could handle it. To stay concious when both me and Irene is here."

Natsu turned quickly around in anger and glanced up at the black haired wizard, taking a step back in fear. Yet he was ready to attack if needed. He had to try to protect himself, and Mira.

"Who are you?" the pink haired mage yelled.

"Natsu..."

The black wizard tried to take a few step closer however that caused only Natsu to move back, in a defensive mode.

"How do you know my name?!"

Zeref just facepalmed and closed his eyes for a moment in thought. 'Guess I have to reveal it immediately?'

"Natsu...my name is Zeref, Zeref Dragneel." The immortal spoke in a serious tone.

The male was in the same protective, yet scared state until he finally heard the last word, Dragneel. Natsu could feel himself calm down. His claws and eyes returning back normal, just staring at the male. Natsu was truly lost, and now confused as well.

"W-who are you?"
