The Encounter

Igneel walked down the old route hidden in the mountains. HE never had anything to do besides study in school or practice martial arts. All he could do was follow the path that led to a stream rushing with cool water. As he started getting to the clearing with the river he noticed a ton of clumped up rags. As he walked cautiously up to the ball it started to look more like a human sprawled across the floor.

When Igneel reached the body there hidden under the rags was a face. A man emerged from the bundle of rags he looked beat his face pale but aside from that the man looked as healthy as any man who actually stayed fit. Before collapsing onto the ground the man spoke in a raspy tone "I knew that you would come..." Igneel didn't know what to do besides seeing if the man was dead or faking or actually in need dire help. "Come on you old man get UP" Igneel actually screamed the last part to see if it had any effect. The man stayed still without the hint of realization of what Igneel said. He heaved the body next to the stream a good 3 yards away. He set the body down than he began fetching the bundles of rags over to the man. He wasn't the best craftsman but he managed to make a makeshift pillow. lifting up the head than setting it down on the pillow. He walked over to the stream and searched the bank until he found his box full of equipment from when he camped by the river for a night. He rummaged through the box until he found a small cup and filled it up with the streams water. He brought the water over to the man opening his mouth and poured some water into his mouth. The man was definitely not dead otherwise he wouldn't have opened his eye ever so slightly and drank the water gratefully. When the cup was empty Igneel went over and refilled his cup this time drinking it himself.

While Igneel was taking his time drinking his 3rd cup of water the man was trying to get up silently from the ground and sit up properly only to fall back down with a heavy thump. The man sighing tried once more showing Igneel he couldn't get up forcing him to help the man up into a sitting position. The mans face was no longer a pale shade but than again while Igneel was taking his time a lot of time passed by. "So explain what you mean by I knew that you would come" Igneel said without missing a beat. The man replied in a still raspy voice " Oh I know who you are and who your father is. Don't you try and hide that fact from me." The man stared at igneel's cup without a warning lunged forward at the cup IGneel who saw the gaze kicked at the man square in the chest. The man went sprawling across the ground where he sat up must've been 18 feet away from where he just was. "For a old fart, man you sure are sturdy" Igneel joked. As the man struggled to get up Igneel lunged at him punching him in the gut. He sat on top of the man's stomach raining punches down onto his arms and chest. "So you still wanna do this or not" Igneel smirked while the man struggled in his head lock. As the man struggled Igneel walked over to the bank with the man still in his head lock "I'll count to 5 if you don't speak before I count to 5 I'll happily drown you right here and now." The mans face now turning back to pale made a gagged noise."I'll take that as a sure" Igneel smiled. The man being strangled was thrown to the ground. "OK now speak. Who are you" Igneel pressed. As the man tried to speak Igneel taunted him with remarks on his health and etc."My name is none of your concern. All you need to know is I know you know what your father is" "I don't care what my father is and I don't care if the whole world knows!" Igneel snapped practically screaming. "Oh I hit a nerve I see" the man smiled coldly. Before the man could speak again Igneel punched him in the chest than his most vulnerable part then started dragging him into the water. The man writhed in his grip trying to flee. "You wanted some water here you have plenty" Igneel took his time forcing the mans head into the water than pulling it out. He was enjoying it with every bit of pleasure as a hunter would when taking his time to get his kill. As the man inhaled what seemed to be gallons of water. "You'll never live again" Igneel spoke as smoke started to surround his clenched fist. The man's eyes opened in horror staring at his fist now sparking with small embers.

"Say goodnight old fart"
