Chapter 101 The Decision of the Dragons
"But even then there is still time, we can inform Natsu about it later" Igneel tried to counter in a half-hearted tone.
"Igneel I know you are worried about Natsu just as we are worried about the others, maybe even more. But you know better than anyone that they need to be strong. The day Acknalogia awakens, nobody will be safe from him" Grandine spoke softly knowing how much Defensive Igneel was in the case of Natsu.
Igneel was silent for a few moments and then shook his head, clearly made a decision about what to do. He looked at Grandine.
"Alright fine, but its better not to burden him with all the truths about him including Acknalogia. We will nudge them slightly, giving them a message that we will return if they are stronger than they are now. And when I mean stronger, at least the level Karna is right now" Igneel made the decision.
"I will also go to the nasty brat and instruct the same to him. Fairy Tail's master can be really kind. Right now, I can see him talking to Gajeel to take a new path in his guild. If I give the same message to Gajeel with the addition of keeping an eye on the other dragon slayers, it will end well" Metallicana gave his opinion about it.
"I will also tell Wendy to do it as well, Natsu and Gajeel are more focussed on attack power alone. Sky Dragon's healing techniques will help them well in this endeavour as well. I had thought about communicating with my counterpart to send some spells towards her way if she ever meets her while she had grown up a bit. But now I will get chances to send it to her way in an easier manner" Grandine mused and then she turned to the two dragons who were left and were not speaking anything.
"What about you two idiots, are you going to appear as spirit of the underworld or something" Grandine spoke in a mocking tone to Weisslogia and Skiadrum
"Are you still angry about that Grandine" Weisslogia sighed.
"You know it was a good decision right; it made them have confidence and now our appearance as spirit of the dead will be more convincing" Skiadrum tried to salvage their position by making excuses.
"Don't you idiots dare think that was a good idea" Igneel roared.
"Even I agree with Igneel, that was a nasty thing to do to those kids. Mine is the most insufferable of them all and even then I won't do it to him" Metallicana commented with distaste.
Unlike the other dragons who had decided to just disappear from the minds of the children after losing their memories, the white and the shadow dragon decided to use this opportunity to instil confidence in both the kids. But truthfully they just wanted them to be stronger than the other dragons slayers, so they decided to imprint the memory of killing dragons in them. They made the kids think that they made the choice to kill them and so if they meet the other dragon slayers in the future, they can feel superior to them.
Some won't be able to believe how a few dragons are behaving like mothers who want to show up their children in front of the children of their friends.
When the dragons heard about it, they wanted to beat the crap out of them for it, but considering that they are in their soul state, they decided to let it go.
"So, what's your decision" Grandine asked but you can hear the pissed off tone in her voice. She was regarded as the kindest of dragons by humans who had no prejudice against dragons. Her kind temperament and love for kids had shaped Wendy's character as well. Learning about the manipulation of memories had pissed her off the most among them.
Weisslogia began to think. Skiadrum seems to have decided to leave it to him to decide. Weisslogia and Skiadrum are twins with the white dragon having more intellectual abilities and Skiadrum with more battle skills. And after thinking for a while, he made his decision.
"Sting and Rogue are still very young. Their battle style is also similar to Natsu and Gajeel, its mainly focusses on power and offence alone. So, adding them to the plan of bringing them together now will not be feasible. Its better for them to develop on their own for some time before they meet. Wendy on the other hand is proficient in support type magic, courtesy of the skills bestowed to her by Grandine.
So, my suggestion will be for you to bring together Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy and tell them to keep an eye on Sting and Rogue. Sting will be a bit difficult to find but Rogue has made contact with Gajeel a few times even though he has not revealed that he is a shadow dragon slayer. So, it's better Sting and Rogue only gets advice from us to get stronger while the other three will be given advice to be stronger and tell them it is tied to us dragons coming back."
Weisslogia gave his input in the topic of revelation. Even if the twin dragons are under scrutiny by the others for the decision they had made concerning the kids, the other dragons knew about the intelligence of Weisslogia when it comes to matters like this, so they decided to listen to him.
"Alright" Grandine decided to conclude it "For now Sting and Rogue will meet their respective dragons in their dreams urging them to get stronger while Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy will be advised to get Stronger with the addition of telling them that we will be able to come back if they get stronger.
Gajeel will be advised to keep an eye on Rogue as well as find the whereabouts of Sting and keep an eye on him as well. Natsu and Wendy do not have the required Skills for it."
"Hahaha, that nasty brat gets babysitting duty, I like that very much" Metallicana laughed out loud.
