Chapter 3

Next day, Natsu can be seen sitting on a bench at the train station, waiting for the train to arrive. Happy sat on his head munching a fish.

"Sigh~"

"Natsu~ its your thirteenth sigh today. Don't worry! I'm sure Gray won't become an S-class before you!" Happy said, trying to cheer his 'father' up.

Natsu just nodded, still keeping his mouth shut. Its not like he was worried about Gray being an S-class before him, its just that, he had a bad feeling about the trials.

He tried to shake it off but that feeling just won't go away. He keeps consoling himself that everything will be alright as Guildarts is there, but that strange feeling just won't go away!

That feeling got even stronger when he remembered the 'state' Guildarts was in and that Dragon who almost crippled him.

"Natsu, the train's here, let's go."

Natsu shook all those negative thoughts as his face turned serious, as if he was in a fight.

He approached the long 'demon' known as train with a resolute look aa if he was going to a war.

"Today, I will conquer you!"

...

...

"....Blurgh~"

Natsu sat at the chair of the train powerlessly, he doesn't even have enough strength to lift his arms.

Happy sat at the opposite in front of him while shaking his head with a shrug.

"After all those talk about conquering the train? Sigh~"

"Urgh~"

Natsu tried to defend himself, but he couldn't even utter a word as he felt all the food he ate this morning trying to leave his stomach.

Now he kinda hope that Wendy was here, she would've been a great help to alleviate his 'sufferings'.

Oh how great would it be.

...

Meanwhile, at the capital of Fiore, Crocus, at the royal palace.

"So, he will be arriving today?" Toma ask.

"Yes your majesty."

Toma nodded and sighed in relief, at least now they finally have the chance of killing the beast.

"How about the beast? Have you found any information about it?" This is the thing that's bugging the King of Fiore the most, just what is the origin of that beast?

Surely, being a beast that powerful, there's got to be at least an information about it, right?

"Yes your majesty! We have found some information regarding the beast. Though, it is already too old and can be regarded as a myth."

Toma just signalled the servant to continue, it doesn't matter whether the information is too old or not, at least they have some knowledge about the beast they are fighting.

"From the ancient records we have found at the royal library, there is a certain beast at the era of dragons that has some similarities to the beast we are facing now."

Toma stayed silent and let the servant finished his words.

"It is said to be a beast capable of rivaling the dragons," said the servant, causing the king to widen his eyes surprise and shock, a beast that could rival the legendary creatures?

How powerful must that beast be?

"Titans, is what they are known, having the body of the element they are using, having destructive power that can rival that of a dragon, magic power that can topple over kingdoms, enormous size almost reaching a mountain. They are a very terrifying creatures."

King Toma just silently sat on his throne with a dark look, if what the reports said are true, then they are facing a much more dangerous beast than they thought.

"But the beast we are facing right now is far from what you describe, unless..." King Toma didn't dare to finish his words, as terror gripped his heart.

The servant, was the one who continue the words of the king,

"Yes, what we are facing right now, is just a newborn."
