Capítulo 17: Chapter 16:Dragon slaying Training
The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow over the ancient training grounds. Natsu and Happy stood at the edge of a vast open field, the air humming with energy. The ground beneath them was scorched and cracked, a testament to the power that had been wielded here for centuries. Ahead, Solara and Frostbane towered, their massive forms a blend of grace and power. The dragons' eyes shone with a wisdom that spanned millennia.
"Are you ready?" Solara's voice resonated through the field, filled with an ancient, commanding presence. The Sun Demon Dragon's scales shimmered like molten gold, reflecting the intensity of his fiery aura.
Natsu clenched his fists, fire already sparking in his palms. "I'm always ready!" His voice was filled with excitement and a touch of impatience. He could feel the adrenaline pumping through his veins, the thrill of battle and the promise of new power.
Happy, hovering beside him, was a bundle of nervous energy. His wings fluttered erratically, and his eyes darted between the two dragons. "Aye! But... uh, what exactly are we going to do?" There was a hint of apprehension in his voice, as if the enormity of the situation had finally sunk in.
Frostbane, the Ice Demon Dragon, spoke next, his voice cool and calming. "Today, we will focus on the basics. Natsu, you will learn to harness the flames of the sun. It's not just about destruction, but also about control, balance, and harmony."
Solara nodded in agreement. "The sun's flames are a force of creation and destruction. To master them, you must learn to channel your emotions and focus your energy. It's not just about raw power, but precision."
Natsu grinned, his eyes blazing with determination. "Got it! Control and precision. I can handle that."
"And Happy," Frostbane continued, turning his icy gaze towards the blue Exceed. "You will begin to tap into the power of the Ice Demon Dragon. But first, we'll work on something more fundamental—your transformation into a human form. It will help you understand the magic and control it better."
Happy's eyes widened in surprise. "Human form? You mean like... me with legs and stuff?" He looked down at his small, furry body, a mix of curiosity and disbelief in his expression.
Frostbane nodded. "Precisely. This form will allow you to channel the magic more effectively and adapt to different situations. It will be challenging, but necessary for your growth."
The blue cat gulped, then nodded with a resolute expression. "Aye! I'm ready. Let's do this!"
Solara stepped forward, his golden eyes locking onto Natsu's. "We will begin with a simple exercise. Focus on your inner fire, feel the warmth of the sun within you. Let it grow, but do not let it consume you. Control it, shape it."
Natsu closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. He could feel the heat of his own magic swirling inside him, a familiar and comforting sensation. But now, as he reached deeper, he sensed a new warmth a blazing, radiant energy that felt like the sun itself. He focused on that feeling, drawing it out and letting it fill his body. Flames erupted around him, brighter and hotter than before.
"Good," Solara encouraged. "Now, contain it. Do not let the flames spread. They are an extension of your will. Command them."
Sweat beaded on Natsu's forehead as he concentrated. The flames roared around him, eager to escape, but he held them back. He imagined a sphere around himself, containing the fire within. Slowly, the wild flames began to calm, swirling around him in a controlled dance.
"Yes, just like that," Solara's voice was steady and reassuring. "Feel the balance. The sun can give life or take it. Control the fire, and you control its power."
Natsu gritted his teeth, his muscles straining with the effort. The energy was intense, almost overwhelming, but he could feel the difference. This wasn't just about strength it was about mastery. The flames around him flickered, then stabilized, forming a perfect orb of fire.
Meanwhile, Frostbane led Happy to a quieter area. The Ice Demon Dragon's presence brought a chill to the air, the temperature dropping noticeably. "Happy," he began, "to transform into a human form, you must first understand the essence of transformation magic. It's about changing not just your physical appearance, but also your perspective and understanding."
Happy blinked up at Frostbane, his little paws clutched together. "How do I do that?"
Frostbane's icy gaze softened slightly. "Begin by closing your eyes. Picture yourself as you are now, then envision the form of a human. Imagine walking on two legs, using hands instead of paws. Feel the shift in your body and mind."
Happy did as instructed, closing his eyes tightly. His small, furry face scrunched up in concentration. He pictured himself with legs, standing tall like Natsu and Lucy. He imagined having fingers, toes, and all the other human traits he had seen. Slowly, a soft, blue aura began to form around him.
Frostbane watched closely, his voice gentle. "Focus, Happy. Feel the magic within you responding to your thoughts. Let it flow through you, guiding the transformation."
The aura around Happy grew brighter, swirling with a mix of blue and white energy. His body started to glow, and a faint outline of a human shape began to emerge. Happy could feel the change, a tingling sensation spreading through him. It was strange and exhilarating, like stepping into a new world.
"That's it," Frostbane encouraged. "You're doing well. Keep your focus."
Suddenly, the light around Happy intensified, and with a bright flash, his form shifted. When the light faded, there stood a small boy with blue hair, wide eyes, and a look of astonishment on his face. He wobbled slightly, adjusting to the new sensation of standing on two legs.
Happy looked down at his hands, flexing his fingers with a mix of awe and disbelief. "I... I did it! I'm human!" His voice was higher pitched, but still carried that familiar, cheerful tone.
Natsu, having finished his own exercise, turned to see Happy's transformation. His eyes widened in shock and delight. "Whoa, Happy! You look awesome!" He ran over, grinning from ear to ear. "This is so cool!"
Happy wobbled again, trying to maintain his balance. "It feels weird... but kind of amazing!" He looked at his new human feet, then back at his hands, marveling at the transformation.
Frostbane smiled, a rare expression for the usually stoic dragon. "Good work, Happy. This is only the beginning. With practice, you'll master this form and the ice magic that comes with it."
Solara, observing from a distance, nodded approvingly. "You both have done well for the first day. Natsu, your control over the sun's flames is impressive. Happy, your transformation is a testament to your willpower and adaptability."
Natsu, still grinning, pumped his fist in the air. "This is just the start! We're gonna get even stronger!"
Happy, still getting used to his new form, nodded enthusiastically. "Aye! We're gonna be unstoppable!"
As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the day's training came to an end. Natsu and Happy, exhausted but exhilarated, sat on the ground, catching their breath. The dragons loomed over them, their expressions proud and serene.
"Today, you have both taken your first steps toward mastering new and formidable powers," Solara said, his voice filled with a quiet pride. "Remember, this journey is not just about gaining strength, but also understanding the responsibilities that come with it."
Frostbane added, "The path ahead is challenging, but we have faith in your abilities. Rest well tonight, for tomorrow, we continue."
