Chapter 2: The Cold Flame

A first rays of the sun has long ago ceased to fall in thru the window when Lucy woke up. She looked around and noticed lying near Happy. She smiled, stood up and began to prepare to leave.

“Happy wake up,” she slightly moved small Exceed.

“No Mirajane I do not know who touched that fish,” the blue cat mumbled in his sleep turning on the other side.

“I guess I'll have to give the fish some other cat,” she said and almost instantly Happy opened his eyes.

“Fish? Where do you have it?” he asked looking at her and then ran off to the kitchen to look for it.

“I didn’t see anywhere fish, which you mentioned Lucy,” he scratched his head.

“Come on. Natsu should have returned,” she said walking towards the door.
It worked and the little exceed immediately took his backpack and they walked slowly toward the guild. When they arrived unfortunately not founded the fire dragon slayer in the guild.

“He still not back?” she asked the white-haired mage.

“No. Either Erza or Natsu not come back yet,” she answered. “I hope he didn’t get into any further trouble.”

At that moment into guild has entered the red-haired mage who was followed by her pink-haired companion. All present were glad to see them back, and a moment later someone started a typical brawl.

“Again,” Lucy sighed, remembering about the job. If Natsu is back they could go on that job. She waited a bit before she called the fire mage. It took a moment before his head appeared briefly in the midst of fighting mages.

“What happened Lucy?” he asked her bestowing his typical smile when sat next to her.

“Would you help me do the job?” She asked smiling.

“Sure. Anyway, you spend a lot on food,” said again smiling and turned to watch keep ongoing fight.

“It's you and Happy that eat most of it,” she commented with a little malice in her voice.

“There is no kitty today?” interrupted they conversation a little exceed.

“Kitty?” Dragneel looked at his friend.

“Aye! He was nice and had two tails,” Happy smiled and dropped to the floor to look for him.

“Cat with two tails?” Natsu scratched his head.

“The one who always brings the strange order,” cut in Mirajane, “so you are going to do that job?”

“Yes I have to earn some jewels,” the blonde-haired mage sighed.

“So let not waste more time,” said pink-haired mage and grabbed her hand started walk toward the door.

“Ah that enthusiasm of his,” Strauss smiled, seeing as we both mages left guild with following them a little blue cat and she went back to her work.

“What's the job?” asked Natsu after they left the guild.

“Job,” she pondered, “ahh yes.” She took out of her pocket a little crumpled piece of the paper. “We need to provide protection during transport of some object from Magnolia to Hargeon.”

“It sounds simple, and,” he laughed briefly and added, ”at least you will not break anything.”
“Hey, what do you mean?” She paused and made angry face.

“Ahh nothing important,” he said and added. “So where we should go now?”

“Hmm,” she thought for a moment and looked at the paper searching for the address. Finding it they started walk that way, and after a quarter of the hour stopped in front of one of the houses.

“Yes?” the woman's voice asked from behind doors and a moment later they opened a little bit.

“Our guild got a job to secure a transport,” replied Lucy.
“So soon someone came?” For a moment there was silence and then the door opened wider. In them stood a tall petite girl with shoulder-length golden hair and orange eyes hidden behind glasses. “Moment. I have to get ready to leave.”

Leaving them in the living room she went upstairs. Minutes passed and she still was not coming downstairs.

“What it takes her so long?” Natsu began to walk around in the living room impatiently, sensing something odd.

“What's wrong?” she asked her companion.

“That place. Everywhere spread that strange scent,” he scratched his head. “It seems familiar but do not know from where.”

She looked around but didn’t see anything unusual. Just a typical house without any fancy furniture. In meantime on second floor, she was finishing packing a bag and then proceeds to check the weapons lying around.

“Okay so they are all in good condition,” she smiled and with hand gesture makes them float in the air and then vanish when using re-equip put them into pocket dimension. She looked around again, making sure that it does not overlooked anything important. Who knows when he will come back to this city.

“Oh, I would forget about the most important thing,” she chuckled grabbing with her magic weapon in the shape of a scythe and it landed in her hand.

“Ehh ... Magical power is almost completely used up,” she furrowed eyebrows and grabbed handle with the other hand. Around the weapons appeared blue aura, which then enveloped completely her too.

“And done,” she said and then stumbled, however avoided collapsing by leaning on the edge of the bed. “Perhaps a bit too much power poured into it. Well a couple of hours without magic.”

“Here I am,” she said coming down the stairs.

“Well, let's go,” said a bit bored Dragneel and started walk out with a cat following him.

“He not looks like a mage who can sit still?” chuckled golden-haired mage.

“Yes,” replied Lucy.

“Ahh I would forget. It's probably not that important to you but maybe I need to introduce myself ... somehow. You can call me Kanna,” she said.

“I am Lucy and he’s Natsu,” the celestial mage presented them both. “And that cat is Happy.”

“Well, let's go,” Kanna smiled and went to the doors. After Lucy left house she closed doors and put key into pocket dimension. “So how you two plan to reach our destination?”
“I was thinking about traveling by train,” at the moment almost at same time both Natsu and Kanna froze for a moment, then each almost immediately returned to normal, not letting know how worked on them vision of this type of travel - but perhaps this is not the best way despite its fastest . A few hours and we would have been in Hargeon.

“Yes. I think so,” she brushed a strand of the golden hair that fell over her face, “another way to get there is better. Something happened?” She asked when caught dragon slayer looking in strange way on her.

“You smell strange,” he commented looking at her for a moment. Although she looked like an ordinary girl his nose was almost screaming that something is off. The smell did not match what he saw but still couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her.

“You too,” she said, “maybe you not bather recently...”

“What?” he stopped and looked as though he wanted to jump toward her.

“Natsu.... stop!” Lucy stood between them, “you need... I mean we both must make sure that nothing had happened to her and not starting a fight here with her.”

Pink-haired mage sighed, “but you still smells weird to me.”

Kanna did not reply anything because what should she say? That her senses also were telling something is off? Besides, how could he complain she smell weird? Hmm, maybe he didn’t like the smell of perfume that she was using. Not wanting to continue topic she sighed and put her hand against her temple and for a moment shut eyelids. 'We started travel. I should get in a day or two.' the answer came almost immediately 'Alright. When you will be near would send Nyana.' Leaving the city none of them paid attention to a group of people who follow them a short distance behind.

Another hour passed them to walk the road leading from Magnolia to Hargeon when Natsu and Happy decided it was time to rest. Both girls just sighed but also stopped.

“What do we do, boss?” he asked standing next to him shorter one man when both of them with two others were watching form affair three people and exceed.

“Apparently they make break. Such a shame... for them,” smiled asked man. “You two walk around and attack from other side while we both will attack from the front,” he fast gave them orders and immediately all four split up moving to take up positions.

At this time all four unaware travelers sat and rested, but this apparent peace was disturbed rather quickly. Kanna clear sensed some familiar scent and Natsu felt some not suiting for surrounding odor. ‘Something or someone familiar is near 'commented in her thoughts without paying much attention from where she knew it. Happy looked at his friend and saw that he began to intensively sniffing environment.

“What's wrong?” he asked and looked around without noticing anything unusual.

“Someone is near,” Natsu commented.

“You mean animals?” Asked Lucy.

“No,” he smiled. “Someone is nearby but behaves strangely.”
‘Almost' the short man smiled putting hands together ready to cast a spell. The other three men also were preparing to attack.

“Boss,” whispered standing next to him taller mage, “one of the girls seems to me that I've seen her somewhere.”

“Nonsense and focus on the task at hand. We take the package that they have with them,” scolded him his companion while was making an ice bow. The other two have formed ice swords and waited for the signal. A gentle hand movement and the others two began to approach the four travelers.

“I was wondering when you would show up,” Natsu grinned noticing approaching them two ice mages holding ice weapons.

“What?” Lucy froze for a moment in surprise.

“I could feel their presence for some time,” he stood in front of them, “so which one first?”

“Get down,” Kanna yelled and grabbed blonde-haired mage and both landed on the ground. Literally at the same time over their heads flew several ice arrows.

“So you too have decided to show,” laughed pink-haired mage not even turning to face the other two mages.

“Damn you, brat,” hissed one of the two mages standing in front of him and they both rushed toward him.

“Fire Dragon’s Claw,” fire enveloped Natsu feet, who kicked then one of the mages and dodged the attack of the other one.

“Ice-Make: Lance,” taller mage created few ice lances and sent them straight into the dragon slayer, hoping that he will be too busy fighting with two others to react. His shorter companion fired several new arrows in the direction of both girls.

“Natsu behind you,” yelled Happy and his friend turned around to see incoming ice lances. Not much thinking used roar to melt them all.

‘It reminds me something' remarked taller mage and slowly approaching pink-haired mage again used the same spell. Once again Natsu melt them with his roar but this time the mage heard quite clearly the name of the spell. 'Fire Dragon’s Roar' and then he understood. Casting a glance at any nearby mage he now knew why he had a feeling that he have seen her before. At that time with another kick Dragneel kicked one of the mages and jumped out avoiding other one mage ice sword slash.

Lucy cringed when once again past her flew ice arrows. But she trusted that Natsu can handle all the attackers. Kanna was on the other hand trying to look at the two magicians who attacked them. Both shorter and taller had smell that surrounded rather strong mages.

With a smile dragon slayer enveloped both hands in flames and rushed toward both mages with intend to use fire dragon’s wing attack. As soon as he grabbed them both threw with great force against before him and turned away. After a moment both fell slightly stunned a few yards away.

“Two down,” he smiled when he saw the taller of the two other magician begins to speak another spell.

“Ice-Make: Ice Geyser,” hearing familiar spell and seeing forming a seal beneath her Kanna jumped to the side when Lucy ducked in the opposite direction. But her dodge was too slow and one of the spikes of the forming ice tower slightly scratched side of the golden-haired mage who swore softly.

“Fire Dragon’s Sword Horn,” whole Natsu body surrounded flames when he charged directly at the two mages.

“Importunate young man,” said quietly shorter mage and moved his hands before himself. “Ice-Make: Shield,” immediately a small ice shield formed and absorbed most of the momentum of the Dragneel attack impact.

“Really annoying,” he quickly made another gesture. “Ice-Make: Prison,” and the young mage was surrounded by ice blocks forming the cage. “Go take it,” uttered a short order.

“As you command,” taller mage started to move slowly wondering if it was really the same ice mage he met almost two days earlier. She noticed lack of her bag and recalling she had it hanging on the side where she had now tattered clothes looked at the ice tower. She cursed quietly seeing bag hung precariously on one of the ice spikes slightly above it.

“Welcome back kitty,” both female mages looked in the direction of the person who said that and in the eyes of one of them appeared suppressed rage.

“Did I tell you to not call me that?” said through clenched teeth Kanna. “You're not someone who can just call me that way and get away alive.”

“So, it's you baby,” he smiled and added, ”and I think the last time somehow I escaped alive.”

“Do you know him?” Happy asked the golden-haired mage for what he only heard something like a low guttural hiss.

At that time, the two stunned mages stood up and glanced around noticing Lucy. Also on the ice blocks began to appear cracks and almost immediately their fall apart freeing the fire mage that not much thinking punched standing near to him shorter mage. In response his body falls apart into many ice shards.

“Not bad. You destroyed a prison and my dummy,” mage laughed form behind Natsu. “Time for a break youngster,” then something hard hit Dragneel. It threw him a little bit and dazzled for a moment.

Temporarily not attacked two mages created second ice sword and rushed toward a blonde mage, which reached up to a keychain that she had at her belt.

“Open the Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!” Immediately between her and her magicians appeared celestial spirit and stopped attacks with his body. At that time, taller mage was near its target, not paying attention to ice mage nor his boss, who meet his eyes with getting up form ground dragon slayer.

“Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist,” started his attack Natsu, who met directly with an ice hammer wielded by his opponent. It took a while before the ice weapon broke into small pieces that flew in all directions. Without waiting for a response from short mage he leaped forward starting another attack.

“Oh so much trouble,” said one to other mages when quickly created new swords and jump back before Taurus labrys swing, which engraved mark on the ground in front of them. Immediately their try to use freezing when he once again attacked and his weapon was cutting the ground before them. However, he quickly changed the course of weapons and avoided even a temporary blocking of his weapon. Lucy smiled seeing her spirit forcing the two opponents to the gradual withdrawal and looked the other way to see how in Kanna hand appearing a big weapon with the appearance of a stylized scythe. She felt a slight cool breeze, when the weapon fully materialized.

“Not so fast,” the golden-haired mage said, appearing right before taller mage, when he already started to reach for a bag.

“Oh, it's you kitty,” he said again trying to distract her. At that point, he noticed that he was dangerously close to her and she began to suck the air. Memories of the last meeting when the attack easily defeated him froze him. Without thinking he threw himself backwards trying to reduce with that even if slightly the strength of the attack.

“Buu,” she laughed and made a careless swing with a scythe. It was enough to weapons sent fast-moving ice attack. He had only slightly covered his hands when the attack hit throwing him back on a large distance.

“Ice-Make: Prison,” shorter mage again created around Natsu prison this time putting much more magical power in the spell. Taller mage arose fast and making few gestures uttered the same words forming similar prison around Kanna.

“Quickly that spell will not keep that guy for longer than a few moments,” said the leader of the mage group and turned to ice prison waiting for his opponent again freed himself from it.

“Grrrr,” the golden-haired mage felt upset when ice immobilizing her. “Seems I have no other choice,” she said and she started to fill the power reserve of her weapon with her own magic energy. At this time tall mage using Lucy not paying attention to him quickly moved toward a hanging bag.

“Lucy,” blonde-haired mage heard Happy voice above her and looked away from her fighting spirit to see tall mage reaching to hanging on the ice spike bag. Before she could do anything mage grabbed the bag and turned around with the intention of running away. Then trapped in the ice female mage made a few quick moves with her weapon. Any ice that her weapon blade encountered was disappearing without a trace.

“Damn,” he cursed to see how the golden-haired mage began to perform faster movements around her repeatedly cutting ice remains of the blocks, which have been trapping her each time causing any ice that came in contact with her weapon, disappear. Even on the ice tower left few traces of what looked like a creature with claws left it marks.

“Fire Dragon’s Flame Elbow,” without a moment's pause after his release from his prison Natsu attacked shorter mage who responded quickly with spell forming an ice wolf head around one of his hand and blocked the dragon slayer attack. The explosion formed after both attacks meets threw them away.
”I have it,” taller mage shouted to his companions and began to run.

“Oh, no,” Kanna started preparing to attack with her weapon when was hit a piece of ice blade into shoulder. Too late reacted consciously before instinctively made a wide swing around herself sending attack behind her. Whole weapon for a moment surrounded a blue glow creating a much bigger attack than before, which flew in the direction where came a piece of ice.

“Lucy,” Taurus roared and turned around with intention to protect his owner. Fortunately the ice attack passed by a blonde mage but with one of the ends hitting the trunk of the stellar spirit. Ice mages almost instinctively formed ice shields in front of them. However, it is only slightly weakened the attack, which easily broke both barriers and hit them forcefully throwing away.

At that time, Natsu using sword horn hit the taller mage, which at the last moment before he was hit threw the bag toward his boss and then he flew toward the nearest tree. Dragneel turned toward short mage but he created a mass of ice eagles and started ran away holding bag.

“Leave him,” Kanna yelled stopping him from chasing the ice mage. The other three also quickly got up and started to run away.

“But they took your bag,” fire mage show his surprise when they were only four of them.

“They didn’t take what I was caring,” she smiled and with hand gesture materializes from pocket dimension similar looking bag.

“Then what was in the one their stole?” Asked Lucy during when her celestial spirit was returning to his world.

“Some of my stuff but not the package that I needed to deliver. I predicted that someone might try to rob us,” she sat up slowly calming down.

“What is that weapon?” Happy asked cautiously touching scythe blade that was lying out beside the golden-haired mage. “Ouch is cold to the touch.”

“It is specially designed weapon that allows the user to use the spells of one of the lost magic,” she said it as it would be something quite ordinary.

Natsu looked strangely at Kanna before asking. “Can I hold it for a while?”

For a moment she looked at him until she smiled and threw her weapon in his way. “Sure beside for someone who does not know what spells is enchanted in this weapon it will be just merely a weapon.”

Grabbing it slowly looked over it before throwing it back toward her. Regaining it she put away a moment later to pocket dimension along with the bag.

“So we can move on?” She said casually and a moment later the four of them started walk again.

Letting female mages go on the front Natsu followed a little behind with his feline friend.

“Something on your mind?” Asked the blue cat seeing how his friend was clear thinking over something.

“No nothing,” he said and smiled and then it added a little quieter so that walking in front of them girls shouldn’t hear anything. “Magic she wield with use of that weapon made impression that I saw or heard about it somewhere.”

Happy almost said something but noted tone with which Natsu said last words and said nothing. However, contrary to the hopes of the fire mage golden-haired mage fire heard even the comment, which he said quietly.

At that time, four ice mages after making sure they run away enough sat down to check their stuff inside stolen bag. After a moment group boss started to grab the items and began to throw them into his companions.

“Does this look like a key that we are looking for?” he yelled at them.

“But it was in the bag, which she guarded so much,” tried to defend himself one of the mages.

“Try to say the same thing as Angela asks why we don’t have the key,” said the boss and turned to the tall mage. “And why did you not check out if the key was there?”

“I nearly killed fighting with that mage and you're accusing me of is that I did not check the contents of the bag,” he growled in response. “You told to take her bag and I did it.”

“Idiots,” he scolded them, “next time we 'soften' them and then ask ourselves where the key are.”

“Yes, sir,” all of them replied.

He said nothing more immersing himself in his thoughts. Maybe it was worth it to take someone else time. It seemed that a person who according to information was in possession of the key is a mage wielding a magic weapon. He did not see quite dangerous spells but it looked that the power of spells can be adjusted so it can be troublesome to quickly subjugate. Today their basically didn’t win only done a 'tactical retreat' after getting what they wanted.

The rest of the day until the evening passed quietly for Natsu and the others. At least compared to the fight against ice mages rest of the day was terribly boring. They stopped in a small village near Hargeon too tired to continue the march. Fortunately, the cost of renting a place to get some sleep was not too high which made that even Lucy did not complain too much on expenses related to the job.

That night, Natsu had a strange dream. The memory of the time he spent with his adoptive father, who is not only taught him magic, but other things. This time it was a moment when a small dragon slayer asked about the other dragons.

“Of course, there are other dragons that live beyond me,” said to him Igneel, “but too many to try to name them all.”

“Maybe just a few? Please,” young Natsu grinned.

“Hmmm. Very well. So it would be Atlas Flame Skiadrum, Weisslogia, Metalicana, Zirconis,” a giant dragon thought for a moment. “Also Grandeeney or Koriana.”

“And most do not fight with each other?”

“No, of course, that sometimes some of us were fighting among themselves,” said the dragon, “for various reasons. For example I sometimes with some ice dragons like...”

In this moment Dragneel woke up and heard something from the next room. Quietly stood up and walked to the door, listening for a long time but not heard anything suspicious. Considering that he misheard come back to bed and fall asleep.

At the same time, on one of the islands near the Fiore coast began to form Anima. As always there soon appeared an individual with an almost completely veiled face. Using sticks that he always carried with him with a practiced move had set them again blocking the growth of the Anima until it could suck a vast surrounding area.

“Hello,” heard a male voice behind him and when he turned around he saw a figure in a long coat with a hood concealing the face of a stranger from the rays of the moon.

“You pretty soon showed up today,” commented mist mage.

“I was just staying at a nearby town on the coast,” hooded man made a few steps forward, “again I see you made it. Do you think they will ever succeed and manage to suck in a city or village?”

“I do not know but I always trying to avoid it,” he said and looked at the fading Anima.
“Well, I guess nothing will happen here,” said the individual in a hood and vanished in a manner as thought projection used to vanish.

The second mage stayed for a while and after made sure that was after all headed toward the boat waiting for him on the shore of the island.

Neither of the two mages has noticed how when Anima yet been growing a shadowy figure approached quickly to the vortex for other side and threw into him a package that almost immediately disappeared. - All in accordance with the master plan. - He laughed just making sure that the mages did not notice it or him and disappeared back into the shadows.

“Again it didn’t work,” swore one of the individuals in the chamber Anima. “So there's always something going wrong and we can’t gain more than a little magical energy of the other world?”

“Hey, see that. Seems something weird has been sucked again,” after a few moments called Coco stopping next to them. Somewhat surprised followed her to the platform, where they should see the objects from another world closed in lacrima and noticed indeed something looking like a small package lying in the middle of the platform.

“I'll inform the king and others,” said Coco already running.

Until the others showed up they briefly looked at the objects that were sucked by the vortex. Three pieces of the lacrima that were sparkling with several colors. Fifteen minutes later they was transported to the palace when in one of the rooms met the king with his four commanders and Byro in order to decide what to do with objects that have appeared.

“We need to maintain the appearance of these items in secret before Exceed,” said Byro. “If they are the same objects that came last time maybe this time we will not use them on the captured prisoners but someone loyal towards us.”

“Amazing,” said the purple-haired commander, “you insinuate to use it on someone with us?”

“Maybe not necessarily on anyone of us. It consequences can still be dangerous and...” At this point, one of the commanders hit the table, interrupting him.

“Have I seen a person willing to sacrifice? I hope it's not because of who previous ‘volunteers’ were and how you failed to 'neutralize' them,” a short man said, looking at his interlocutor.

“Of course not because of that,” said quietly Knightwalker.

Next chapter: Dragon Hunter

A/N: Still lazy to format text (but probably will soon make total make-over of large parts all upload chapters to change way how is indicated all characters comments so it must wait till then).
A/N v2: Well maybe not as much lazy but haven't reformat both chapters. So form chapter 3 onward will use different way how show when characters talk and just rewrite with this in mind this chapter. Chapter 1 rewrite will include when would be adding chapter 4.
