What would be the plot of a fanfiction where 7 dragon slayers turn into kids?

One common reason could be a curse. Maybe they unknowingly violated some ancient rule or pact while slaying dragons, and as a result, a curse is placed upon them that gradually transforms them into the very creatures they hunt. For example, they might have desecrated a dragon's lair that was protected by a powerful magic.

In many fanfictions, it might be a metaphorical transformation. The dragon slayers start to exhibit dragon - like behaviors such as becoming more territorial or hoarding things, which symbolizes their inner change. They could also be influenced by dragon magic in a way that their physical form changes. This concept often adds a new layer of depth to the story, exploring the idea of how the hunter can become the hunted.

Well, first of all, they would be more curious. Instead of just focusing on their missions or fighting dragons, they'd be interested in everything around them. The once fearless Dragon Slayers might be a bit more timid as kids, especially when faced with things that are new or a bit scary. Their competitive streaks might also show in different ways, like competing to see who could climb a tree the fastest instead of who could defeat the most powerful enemy. And they'd be more likely to show their feelings openly, whether it's affection for their friends or sadness when they're scolded.

A possible origin in the fanfiction world could be an ancient prophecy. Maybe there was always a hidden prophecy that said dragon slayers would one day turn into the very creatures they hunted. This would add an element of fate to the story. Another idea is that it could be part of a dark ritual. The slayers unknowingly perform a ritual during their battles that slowly turns them into dragons.

One way could be through a magical spell or curse in the fictional world. Maybe an evil sorcerer wants to weaken the dragon slayers and turns them into children, which then becomes the basis for a fanfiction where they have to navigate the world in their child forms.

A possible plotline could be that as children, they are separated from each other. Each has to find their way back to the group while facing various challenges suitable for children, like making friends in a new village or dealing with simple bullies. As they progress, they start to remember bits of their dragon slayer past.

In this fanfiction scenario, the 7 Dragon Slayers as kids would probably form really cute friendships. They'd be more naive and might make mistakes that they wouldn't as adults. For example, they could get into trouble trying to steal cookies from a bakery because they're so hungry. Their dragon - related powers could also be affected. If they were Fire Dragon Slayers, they might accidentally set their own clothes on fire while playing with matches, thinking it was a fun game.

They would be more impulsive as kids. Adults usually think things through, but as kids, the dragon slayers might rush into situations without considering the consequences. Their physical abilities would also be reduced, so they would have to rely more on teamwork and the help of others. Their relationships with other characters would change too. Some might be more protective of them in their new, vulnerable state.

A common characteristic is epic battles. Since they are dragon slayers, there are usually intense fights against dragons or other powerful foes. These battles are often described in great detail, with vivid descriptions of magic and combat techniques. Also, there is usually a sense of camaraderie among the slayers. They may start off as rivals but eventually come together for a greater cause. The fanfiction might also explore different magical elements related to dragon slaying, like special dragon - based spells or abilities.

Some characters might initially go into denial. They can't accept that they are turning into the very thing they have hated and hunted all their lives. So, they try to fight the transformation, using any means available, like seeking out powerful magic or rare herbs that could reverse the process.
