The Legend of the Golden Dragon

The Legend of the Golden Dragon

~ Fairy Tail ~

___________________________________

How long were you there? Kneeling in the center of the room like a tower with no doors and no windows? Facing the walls golden as the dress I wore, and hearing the sound of water dripping in a small pond behind me. My last visitor, if I could call it alive, it would be the only one I met and spoke to in a while, I believe this man called himself ``Merlyn``, If it was Merlin the magician it was a younger version of him. He would appear sometimes in the room by a portal, asking if I was okay and sharing briefly with me some things, before disappearing again.

I didn't understand all the story he was sharing with me. I knew only those men were going to take me away when Aurum*, who was a dragon, and my only family, disappeared mysteriously. I still don't comprehend why they imprisoned me in this damned sanctuary, saying that I was ``The Golden Dragon``. How could that be possible? Aurum WAS the Golden Dragon, not me.

I let out a tired sigh before standing from my kneeling position, making myr way toward a crystal ball on a white pedestal. It was my only connection to the world below. That's right, I was in a sanctuary which was situated in the clouds, its location is a mystery and legend to the humans, even for other dragons. Looking through the crystal ball, my eyes widened when I saw a city on fire. What's going on? It wasn't just any city, it was Caelum*, just next to my sanctuary. An hissing sound came from behind me and a cloaked old man rushed to me in a panic state.

- " Aurum! You must run away! Please, go down below and hide! He is here! "

- " W-who? And why d-do you call me Aurum? My name is (Yana)! " I told the man with a scowl on his face.

- " There's no time for bickering! You must- "

There was an explosion and I was protected by a mystical shield of blue light, while Merlyn was crushed in the wall next to me. I gasped, approaching quickly the poor old man to see if he was still alive. Fortunately, he was.

- " Well, well...what do we have here? So this is the ``Golden Dragon``? I must say I'm not disappointed..." said another voice and I turned around to see a tall man engulfed with a cloak made of darkness.

You shuddered at his attire, finding his red eyes and black hair quite scary. He started to walk towards me, a smug face on his features while I held a cold one. I wasn't scared of him I can cast a spell. Before I could throw him a spell, he trapped you with chains that appeared from nowhere, then I was lifted high in the air. And then, all I saw was darkness.

-----------------------------------

I woke up, a terrible headache present. Groaning, you sat up to realize I was in some kind of forest. Looking at my surroundings, I saw a small lake and I walked to it. Seeing my reflection in the water, I screamed at the sight. My body...it wasn't my body! Firstly, my body was SMALLER, the height of a child compared to human standards if I could say. Secondly, I was wearing a purple cloak with designs of eyes, stopping at my tights. Thirdly, my eyes weren't like before, they were red and I couldn't see the rest of my face, only the glowing eyes and the shape of my head in the darkness, like a cloak was shading it (A/N), it looks like that, I don't understand...). Plus, my skin was gray...GRAY!

I woke up shaking violently, I heard the sound of something jingling and I looked above me to see a golden hourglass tied at the tip of the cloak. Raising a brow, I tilted my head to the side with confusion. Where were you? What's going on? Who was that man? You knew his face, but not his name. You couldn't remember it.

- " N-Natsu?! What is that thing?! " yelled a girl, as I turned to see a blond girl and pink haired boy.

Maybe they could help me? I started to walk to them but you stopped when you saw a small cat jumping down from the boy's shoulder.

- " Hey, what's your name? " it asked.

- " Kupoy, Kupoy! ( (my name is (Y/N) ) " My eyes widened before I slapped a hand over my mouth.

"What's going on?! My voice?! Why do I speak like that?! They will never understand me! " I thought in panic.

- " Hum...what did you say? " asked the boy with a dumbfounded expression and the girl interjected.

- " Don't you see, Natsu? It can't speak our language...I don't even think this thing have a mind...." she said and I felt the anger raise inside you.

- " KUPOY!!!!!? KUPOY! KUPOY KUPOY! (Wha?! Say it again! I dare you Blondie!) " I yelled angrily at her, your eyes glowing redder than before.

- " S-SORRY! YOU HAVE A MIND, YOU HAVE A MIND! " she squeaked from hiding behind the boy, before she started to run back in the direction they had come from then stopped a short distance away looking back apprehensively, then turned and said, "my name is Fiutsi".

- " Do you understand her, Happy? " Natsu asked the blue cat.

- " Not really, but maybe Makarov can? Hm? Look Natsu! It has a golden hourglass on the tip of its cloak... " said the blue cat, pointing at it.

- " Weird, the sand is black...and it is falling down in a slow pace..." said Natsu, I am intrigued by the hourglass and certainly by you. " Anyway...we should name you! "

The boy smiled goofily, before his features turned to a thoughtful face. For a moment, I worried some about the names he would come out with.

- " How about Tiki? " he asked, and I could not frown but I mad the expression known with my eyes.

- " Natsu, you don't know if this is a boy or a girl... " sweat beading on Fiutsi's forehead after returning from her run.

- " Oh yeah, that's right...Than how about Smally? "

- " ...Kupoy... (shut up) " I said darkly, making the three of them flinch.

- " I think it doesn't like that n-name " the girl stuttered nervously. " How about Arcana*? Do you like this name? " she asked.

I didn't respond anything, and thought . Might be a long time before they guess my name so I decided to accept Fiutsi's choice and I jumped up and down excitably. They smiled and then Natsu took your arm and pulled gently on it.

- " Kupoy?! (What are you doing?!) " I said.

- " You are coming with us! Maybe someone in the guild can help you "

Smiling at the thought, I smiled and let them bring me to their ``guild``.

--------------------------------------

- " She is here? " said an unknown male voice.

- " Yes master...the curse isn't complete...She is now an entity, her powers sealed away... " replied a male voice.

- " Humpf...It's good in a way, make sure that she is destroyed, The Master growled " then snickered evily.

- " Yes...master..."
