2 Ch:2 - Baptism.

After that Acnologia let his new son onto his back and shifted some scales to allow a better grip.

They flew towards Acnologia's Lair. Fafnir asking.

"So dad, Your home is on top of Mt. Hakobe?"

[" So that is what humans call this mountain now? Either way indeed, it is near the peak. "] Answered Acnologia with different thoughts in his mind.

[' Humans can be sensitive to temperature changes. Your high affinity can help you tolerate it but you still haven't learned a flame or ice based magic. Consider this Will training. ']

While somewhat sadistic thoughts were running through his Dad's mind. Fafnir was thinking about something else.

'Dad just named me after a legendary dragon that was slain by a human... Well dad seems ignorant to most human legends. And the history recorded may not be true or exaggerated and bended.'

[" Fafnir, What is the so called year now? "]

Musings cut when voice cutting through the sound of blizzards were heard.

' God it is getting colder the nearer we get. '

" Uhm, 767 I believe. "

[' Hnn, he will be 10 before i need to leave. 10 years of training should suffice. It should give him atleast 30% of my fighting power. Enough to make a wizard saint. Take on 2 maybe. ']

[" I see, Now answer me this, Why am i called the apocalypse dragon? What is my element? "]

Acnologia now thinks it is time to reveal the most obvious.

" You are known to bring destruction and chaos. And your element remains unknown, due to the tribal like markings people mused it may be ice or water. But your attacks take on more of a plasma feel according to records." Stated Fafnir. Surprising Acnologia due to his knowledge.

[" Indeed, My true elements are Lightning and wind. I became powerful AND skilled enough to contain most of my attacks within a barrier of wind. Leading to less wasted power. Now my question is, What is the reason for your knowledge whelp? Even hundreds of years ago children would be much older before they were thought matters about sex. "]

"I used to sneak around the restricted sections and read there. I once sneaked into the adult section. thinking it to be a level below restricted section..." Fafnir trailed off.

[" HAHAHAHA! "] Acnologia boomed in laughter. The etherano exploding and clearing the blizzard within a 30 feet area.

Fafnir sweat dropped, His dad's control over etherano is indeed bad. Didn't he say technique though? To achieve plasma like effects... Aside from that he blushed a little in shame. He practiced sneaking around the adult section first. Considering the patrols and seals there were less.

He was cut from his musings when they landed. They were in a cave. A plain simple cave near the peak. Other than it being big enough to accommodate Acnologia's size it isn't anything special.

[" Okay Whelp, Physical Training starts tomorrow. For now we shall deal with matters of magic. "]

Acnologia said. Fafnir looked out of the cave, Despite the blizzard he can still see through the area where etherano reacted violently to his Dad's laugh. Noticing the brightness similar to that when it is around 5 in the afternoon.

He slowly got off his dad's back, Noting the decrease of temperature when he moved back a few feet.

" Magical? " He asked.

[" Indeed, I shall put you through a baptism. This was to see which elements a potential dragon slayer would best be. Fire typically belongs to hot headed people. Wind either indifferent or caring. Water typically is somewhat carefree. Earth is solid and patient people. Metal is... eccentric mostly. Lightning either arrogant or noble. Those are the common ones. But remember this. Do not judge based on the element. If your mentality suits fire when you are wind attributed then fire may be more optimal. "]

Acnologia said. Fafnir was processing the information. The biggest hint his dad gave is the baptism. As if when you are too low attributed you can not become a slayer.

"So dad... Which element are you? " Fafnir instead voiced something a 5 year old would ask.

[" Hm, My main elements are Lightning, Wind, Shadow. "] Acnologia replied.

This made gears turn within Fafnir's head.

His lightning makes it so he is more prideful, Maybe Acnologia is more arrogant than most dragons.

Wind is proof that he is mostly indifferent, Or he can control his emotions as if a switch.

Shadow? I don't know. Maybe it doesn't have a emotional impact or in this case. Dad doesn't have it.

Acnologia let his son think, He can't help but want his son, Despite high affinities to every element. To be more suited to Lightning and Wind. So he can teach him his old techniques.

" Dad, How do you do a baptism? "

[" Normally there would be a container containing the blood of many dragons. And depending on the physical reaction of the etherano we would know. Fire then burning, lightning would be sparks, wind would cause a fierce wind. But thankfully my blood alone should suffice. "]

That information was quite shocking. Fafnir mused that every dragon atleast had some affinity towards alot of elements. But this baptism collects blood of many, So with this he can say it is for the element to easily react.

"Dad? Is this the only way baptism happens? And you have many elements?"

[" There are different methods. this is preffered. Dragon blood is superior to humans. Therefore consumption enchances physical capabilities a little. Most importantly the chance ro recieve a minor healing factor. "]

DAD! TOO MUCH INFORMATION! Fafnir screamed in his mind. He also noticed his dad dodged the question. But outwardly only nodded with a thinking face.

Acnologia then proceeded to prick his finger tip. Then a drop of blood around the size of Fafnir's head dropped. Fafnir panicked rushing to catch it. But then noticed it stopped falling and instead is calm and is slowly drifting towards him.

'Telekinesis!' Thought fafnir. Although most mages can utilise this to some extent it is rare to find one able to use pure telekinesis to affect something physical.

Noticing Acnologia looking at him, Fafnir proceeded to put his face near the blood. Then he proceeded to drink it as quickly as he could. When he drank about 4 gulps he was met with a searing pain. He felt his insides getting shredded and regenerate at a constant rate. He persisted in drinking the blood and then he felt changes all over. His entire body breaking and regenerating. He fell down unable to stand writhing in pain he tried his best to endure the pain. But he is just a child, Whimpers of pain and full blown screams of agony escaped him. The torture he suffered by the hands of the raiders couldn't compare.

From a 3rd person point of view Fafnir is constantly leaking blood. His skin breaking and repairing the broken pieces peeling off akin to flakes. His body grew. Muscles became visible his hair became longer as well. Overall he looks as if he grew a few years while doing training. His muscles lean and firm. Compact and space efficient movement unobstructed. Truly the blood of the apocalypse dragon is special.

Aside from that Acnologia couldn't ignore the crackling of lightning and the ferocious gale despite the previous calm. The shadows becoming rampant and if possible darker.

[' Hmm, So the sense of familiarity is because of his high affinities and main affinities. It is as if he was destined to become my son. Smart and now confirmed to be full of will. And his affinities. I only got where I am by bathing within the blood of the dragons I killed... ']

Acnologia thought, And he couldn't help but notice the hair of his son taking on a blue hue near the ends. Almost becoming a neon blue.

[' Heh, His lightning is also a royal blue! '] Acnologia joyfully paid heed to.

After a few minutes of agonising torture, Fafnir slowly got up, He inspected his body admiring the muscles he didn't work for and his new height comparable to 8 year olds. He felt so powerful! and the energy within him just further boosts that thought. He concentrated, Drawing power from within. His eyes shot open and royal blue lightning was being discharged by him.

[" Impressive, Not quite Lightning dragon standard but impressive considering the brute way you use it. And don't forget the gale and shadows. "]

Indeed, The gales are also blowing and shadows are nearing him as if drawn to him.

"Let's get started!" Stated fafnir with an almost maniacal grin!

=======

Okay quick fix at 777 when the dragons left natsu was around 10 or 11 at 783 canon i believe natsu is technically 16 or someshit and mira and erza is 2 or a year older. so if MC is 20 at 777 then 6 years more then 26 romancing a 17/18 year old so im changing dates.

so now mc born on 762 after 5 years meets acnologia 767 after 10 years of training 15 years old 777 at this time erza and mira should be 12 or 11.

Please correct me if im wrong. Gonna read fairy tail again when i have time.
