Chapter 13: Chapter 11: Helping Irene x teaching Irene
Third pov
Irene, the mother of dragon slayers, was resting while thinking about how to become human again. Her thoughts were interrupted when she caught the sounds of wing flaps and new scents coming near her location.
She decided to see what is going on, so she got up and started walking toward the source of the noice and scents. After a couple of minutes, she came across 3 figures; 2 dragons and a smaller figure that had a dragon form but noticed something off.
Irene:'What is this? Why are there 3 dragons, and the smaller dragon feels unlike any dragon I've seen. But I feel no hostility from them.' she thought as she saw them.
She approached them with the intention to know how and why they came here.
Irene:"Who are you?" and looked at the smaller figure and continued. "I have never seen a dragon so small before."
The figures then introduced themselves.
Selene:"I am the moon dragon Selene."
Veldaava:"I am the star dragon king Veldanava."
Irene:'Veldanava!? I heard about him from Belserion. I heard he stayed out of the war between dragons.'
Albion:"My name is Albion Nava. and the truth is I am not a dragon." Then he undid [transformation magic] and her eyes opened wide in shock as he continued. "I am a born human who was raised by Veldanava and Selene."
Irene:'A human child rasied by dragons, does that mean he's learning [dragon slayer magic]. So he may end up becoming a dragon like me.'
Irene:"A human child? If your raised by dragons you must also be learning [dragon slayer magic], did you come to slay me?"
She asked since she did't sense any hostility from the child, but some people are able to conceal their hostility.
Me:"No, I want to help you."
Irene:"Help me, what do you mean?" she wondered.
Me:"I have a magic that allowed me to see the past, with it I saw what happened to you. I know that you use to be human."
She was shocked to hear that someone so young saw what happened to her.
Irene:"!? Y-you saw what happened to me? Then you know the toll of [dragon slayer magic]."
Albion:"Yes. After what happened with Acnologia some dragons have done research on how to prevent the dragonification in dragon slayers."
She was shocked to hear that there was research done my dragons to stop the dragonification that would occur in those who use [dragon slayer magic]. If that is the case, then maybe that there may be a way to become a human again. After all she say a dragon-like figure turn into a human.
Irene:"Is there really a way to do that?"
Albion:"Yes there are two ways to stop or prevent the dragonification. The first is spell called the [dragon soul technique]; by having a dragons soul enter the body of a dragon slayer, the dragon will work to create antibodies to prevent the [dragon seed] from growing and prevent the person from becoming a dragon. This process takes years to complete."
But since the dragon who taught Irene [dragon slayer magic] is already dead and she already completely became a dragon, this method wouldn't work for her.
Irene:"What is the second way?" She asked.
Albion:"The second would be to use the [separation enchantment] to remove the dragon slayers magic power from them but it must be done when they start the dragonification process or when they are halfway."
Irene:"I see... so there is no way to be human again."
The human turned dragon began to lose hope since she doesn't meet the requirements to use the [separation enchantment] on herself. But then human child spoke up again.
Albion:"I never said that." Irene then looked at Albion as he continued. "If you were to learn [transformation magic], you would be able to transform into a human form."
Selene:"That is true, is that what you had in mind when you said that you would help her son? By teaching her [transformation magic]?"
Albion:"Yes, she would retain all her dragon powers and longevity while regaining her human form. Mom, Dad can you please show her what I mean?"
The two dragons agreed to their sons request and transformed into their human forms causing Irenes jaw to drop from shock at seeing two powerful dragons transform into humans.
However, Irene was more surprised that the human child in front of her was suggesting this magic to help regain her human form. It was something that she hadn't even considered since she's hardly seen this kind of magic used.
Irene:"Why are you going out of your way to help me?" she asked the child while lowering her head to look him in the eye.
Then she sees tears forming in the childs eyes causing her eyes to widen as he spoke.
Albion:"Because like I said I saw how you were tortured while you were trying your best to protect the child you are carrying inside you." he started walking toward Irene as he contiinued. "After seeing how much pain you've had to endure at the hands of humans, I wanted to show you there are humans willing to help you. I am sure that you would have suffered for hundreds of years, so I searched for you to free you from your pain." he then got to Irenes head and hugged her and closed his eyes as he said "You've suffered enough, you deserve happiness."
This caused Irene to feel a tremor in her heart at the kindness and empathy of this child. Then she noticed that the child slumped to the ground and realized that he fell asleep. Just as she was about to wonder if the child was okay, the male dragon began to talk.
Veldanava:"It would seem that his mental exhaustion has caught up with him."
Irene:"Mental exhaustion?"
Veldanava:"When he saw what happened to you, he was upset at the former kingdom of Dragnof and at humans for repaying your kindness with pain. The sight of what you've been through caused some emotional trauma, but despite that he wanted to help you."
Selene:"He shed so many tears and was very mad when he saw what those ungrateful people did to you."
When Irene heard Selene mentioned that Albion cried and got angry on her behalf, she was touched by his desire to help her when no one else did. That feling caused her eyes to water while wondering if it okay to recieve his kindness and help.
Selene:"It is alright to let yourself receive help from those who offers it."
Veldanava:"It's true, there have been times where people parished because they refused to accept help when offered. We can begin when Albion wakes up."
Irene:"*sniffle*T-thank you *sniffle* thank you very much." she said while crying from the overwhelming emotions shes feeling.
She then watched the child sleep while thinking of the good fortune that she had for meeting these three individuals.

Albion POV
I start to open to open my eyes after suddenly falling asleep after telling Irene that she deserves happiness, which she does after everything shes been through. I stretch my arms as I yawn I saw Irene in her dragon form looking at me.
Irene:"Looks like you slept well."
Me:"I guess." I said while feeling tired as I continued. "How long was I asleep?" I asked.
Irene:"Around 2 hours. Your parents told me you fell asleep from mental exhaustion from seeing what I endured and rushing to help me."
Me:"I see..." I said as I thought about my actions since I using my [clairvoyance eyes]. I did look for Irene using after using one magic then used [transformation magic] and did not stop.
As I continue to think about what I did to find Irene, I hear her voice.
Irene:"It is okay, I was very touched that you were willing to go so far to help me."
Me:"I simply followed my heart after I saw what happened to you. I hate it when someones kindness and love are repaid with cruelty." I said the last part as I balled my fists trying to suppress the anger I feel as I continued. "I believe that kindness should be repaid with kindness and evil should be repaid with evil."
Irene:"That is an interesting way of thinking. You have a good heart just like your parents said. I spoke to them while you slept, I was suprised that you were able to learn 6 different [dragon slayer magics]."
Me:"I know what you mean, you don't see someone with so many elements when it comes to [dragon slayer magic]."
Apparently, my parents told her a little about me while I was sleeping, it feels a little embarrassing. Though the fact I fell asleep while crying and hugging Irene feels more embarassing. It is good that Irene has a favorable impression of me at least.
Me:"With my [clairvoyance eyes] I saw what Acnologia has done to many dragons during the dragon king festival. I learned [dragon slayer magic] to avenge those dragons and to protect the people I care about."
Irene:"Does that that include Belserion?"
Me:"Yes, from what I heard from dad, he was very kind and yet he was killed in war to protect humans. He died a hero. I am sorry that you lost such a good friend."
Irene:"It is nice to see that he is remembered. How about this, while you teach me [transformation magic] I'll teach you the magic that Belserion taught me, how does that sound?"
Seriously!? So now I am going to learn her [enchant magic] and [sage dragon slayer magic]? It would be interesting if I could learn her [personality enchantment] and [separation enchantment]. I have several ideas for those particular spells.
Me:"Are you sure that you want to teach me those magics?" I asked, just making sure she's serious about teaching me.
Irene:"I am, it's the least I could do for everything your doing for me. Also, it feels like you can handle my magic and its best to have more cards don't you agree?"
She does make a good point.
Me:"Then we'll be learning together Irene."
Irene:"Yes, lets begin with [transformation magic]."
Then we begin her lesson.
Me:"When it comes to [transformation magic], it is best to start small. Lets start by changing the color of your scales. Just imagine changing the color of your scales to any other color you wish. Then channel your magic power with that image in mind."
Irene:"Changing the color of my scales." she said with a look of contemplation, probably thinking about what color to choose.
After a couple of minutes, I start to feel her magic power flare up. It seems she must have chosen a color. Then I see the her scales change from scarlet to a brownish color that reminds me of Belserion.
Irene:"Was I successful?" she asked with curiosity.
Me:"See for yourself." I said as I gestured toward the lake.
After I said that, she gets up and moves to the lake to look at her reflection to see the result of her magic. Her eyes widen when she sees her reflection, she must be surprised by the result.
Irene:"It worked, this is the color of Belserions scales."
Me:"Yes, that is a good start. Once you get the hang of changing the color of you scales, you can start by using [transformation magic] to alter your appearence without changing your form."
Irene:""Alter my appearence without changing my form"? what do you mean?"
Me:"Like keeping your current form but removing your mane or the protrusions on your body. Once you can do that, then you can try to transform into a different dragon since their form would be similar to yours. These take time to master; but once you master this, you will be able to have your human form again."
Irene:"I see... especially since I am using magic to keep the child inside me from growing. I'm worried that my child will suffer like I did." she said, soudiong worried.
Me:"It is okay to take things slow to master [transformation magic]. Your child will do great things in the future I am sure of that." I said to reassure her.
I should ensure that Erza will still be born, but now that Irene won't go crazy from all the suffering she had and would've endured she may actually raise Erza. Erza Scarlet may instead be called Erza Belserion, perhaps she could learn [dragon slayer magic].
I then remembered that in the I remember in the Fairy Tail 100 year quest, there was the guy known as the [armor dragon slayer] and that the first head of the Diabolos guild sold the [lightning dragon king lacrima] that ended up being implanted into Laxus Dreyar. If that is the case, for all I knew they could have sold the lacrimas of the other dragons they've slayed.
Maybe I should have mom obtain the [lacrimas] from those dragons and create second generation dragon slayers and maybe make myself into a third generation dragon slayer. It would help with defeating Acnologia and help if I battle against the Spriggan 12 or other strong opponents. It is best to be prepared.
Irene:"You okay Albion? You have such a serious look on your face." I hear her say, which snap me out of my thoughts
Me:"I was thinking of the future. I have ideas on what to do but thats centuries in the future."
Irene:"Oh right, I remember Veldanava telling me you and other dragon slayers were being sent into the future."
Me:"Yeah. I was thinking of asking mom for a couple of things while I'm traveling through time. Items that I think could prove useful."
Irene:"I see... Well lets begin your lessons with me."
I nodded in respons as I begin my lessons with the sage dragon Irene Belserion.
