Chapter 14

"Hmm."

In the forest, under a tree, Shin was sitting, leaning against the trunk of the tree in question.​​

He began to make small groans, evoking his imminent awakening.

His face and eyebrows wrinkled as his eyes, once closed, gradually opened.

He straightened up to lift his back from the tree, but quickly put his hand on his head.

"What happened?"

As he asked himself this question, Shin remembered his training on his phoenix and his human form.

Then his training on the magic of fire by trying different techniques until he attempted a roar and fainted because of the excess of magic used in the attack as well as the excess of vital energy to heal the forest destroyed by him.

"Ah, I must have been overexcited and couldn't even control the amount of magic used."

Shin sighed, half blaming himself for what he had done because although it was stupid, he couldn't be blamed for being excited at the thought of trying to spit fire from his mouth like a roar.

It would be exciting for everyone!

He then stood up to notice that he was no longer in the place where he had fallen unconscious, but under a tree.

"How did I get there?" Shin wondered, confusedly.

Then, as if to answer his question, a few animals came out of the bushes beside him and stood in front of him.

There was a deer, a rabbit, two foxes, and four birds that looked like some kind of eagle.

[The animals in front of you carried you to your present location under the tree and stayed by your side until you showed signs of awakening.]

Shin was surprised and looked at the animals.

"You carried me here and took care of me?"

The animals nodded their heads to answer Shin.

Seeing this, Shin's surprised face turned into a soft, smiling face.

"Thank you" He approached them to thank them and stroked them as a token of his appreciation.

It may seem simple as a gift, but the animals really seemed to appreciate it as the foxes wagged their tails, the eagles flapped their wings, the rabbit hopped, and the deer gave a neigh of pŀėȧsurė.

Shin stopped stroking them and had an idea for a better reward.

"Would you like to live in my divine kingdom when it is big enough to welcome you," Shin asked with a sweet smile.

Hearing this, the animals' ears and heads straightened, their eyes sparkling with expectation and joy.

Seeing their expressions and sparkling eyes, Shin suspected the answer he had received.

"Well, stick around so that I can find you when I can welcome you into my Divine Kingdom."

"All that's left is to go back to sleep," said Shin, seeing that it was already dark, he fell unconscious all day.

He formed his wings of fire and built wings to fly away to his cave at the top of the mountain.

Within a minute, he arrived in front of the cave and removed his wings of fire as he set his attention off towards what was once a mountain.

"Ah," a guilty sigh came out of his mouth as he saw the result of his attack.

A hole the size of a nuclear attack! If he didn't attract attention with that, then he didn't know what he should do.

"You'll have to be discreet from now on and not let me be seen".

The place of the explosion was still quite far from his cave and he had removed any trace that people could follow by caring for the destroyed forest.

So people shouldn't make any connection with where he is and he would just have to be discreet if he moved away from the cave.

When his conclusion was over, Shin returned to his cave to think about his next actions.

"System, at what point in history am I standing?"

[The host is one year before the Dragon King Festival begins]

"The Dragon King Festival..." Shin remembered of course this rather fuzzy event which was mentioned in the arc of the Great Magic Games.

400 years before the history of Fairy Tail where the dragons were considered as the leaders of the world until a questioning of their reign creating a war between two groups.

The war between the Dragons coexisting with humans and those who were against coexistence. The war was lost for those who were for coexistence until the creation of the magic of Dragon Slayer which turned the war in favor of the group for coexistence. Only, the magic of Dragon Slayer came with side effects: motion sickness for some and some were corrupted by their powers and went crazy, no longer dissociating ally and enemy and finally the irreversible transformation into a dragon.

This led to the creation of a Dragon Slayer named Acnologia who killed all the dragons on his path and bathed in their blood until he became a black dragon with the name of "Dragon King".

Now Shin knew that he was at the moment when the war was being won by the side that was against coexistence. After all, what could simple mages do against powerful creatures like dragons?

"Ok" He went out of his meditative and thoughtful mode since he now knew what to do.

"I can't worry about this war right now because of my training but I can use it to my advantage."

"I'll keep practicing magic control until I get used to it and master it perfectly, then I'll go to the battlefield to gain combat experience."

It was perfect, what better than fighting against powerful dragons to gain combat experience and get used to its strength and power.

"My training will last one year until I create the magic of Dragon Slayer and then I'll go to the Dragnof Kingdom."

Shin did not want to prevent the creation of the magic of Dragon Slayer because if he did so then the world he is in now would not be at all the same as the one he was looking at in his previous world.

Without the magic of Dragon Slayer, the war would be won by the group of dragons against coexistence and the world would be ruled by them, Acnologia would not be born, Natsu and the other Dragon Slayers would not have to travel through time and would not be in Fairy Tail.

The magic of Dragon Slayer was the center of the creation of Fairy Tail's story, without it, the world of Fairy Tail would not be the same as the one it had known.

And a world of Fairy Tail completely different from the one he had known would not interest him.
