Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 96 Anna Heartfilia's Waiting
Makarov briefly told Natsu about the relationship between Preshito and Fairy Tail.

Natsu has fought against Preshito more than once or twice, but he had no idea that Preshito was the second-generation president of Fairy Tail.

Because every time they met, he didn't ask anything and just started fighting. Of course, Preshito didn't waste time talking to him. As a result, he never said a few words to Preshito until his death.

Hearing Makarov say this, Natsu couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.

When Makarov saw his expression, he knew what was going on and hit him hard on the head.

"Actually, you're lucky. If you'd told him you were a Fairy Tail member, he might have been even more ruthless. He's changed a lot, but some things haven't changed."

Natsu then said unconvincedly: "I'm not afraid of him! Next time I see him, I will tell him that I am a member of Fairy Tail!"

He is proud of being a member of the Fairy Tail Guild, so why would he deliberately hide it?

Makarov also knew this, so he sighed:
"Then listen carefully. If you want to defeat him, you'd better wait for one or two companions, and then try to destroy his 'demon heart', which is the source of his power. I discovered this by accident."

Natsu immediately said, "Then there's no need to wait for anyone else. Old man, you and I can meet at the chief's palace."

Makarov shook his head. "We may not be able to meet them, but we can give it a try. Really, I, an old man, have to accompany you young people to fight for your lives..."

"Natsu, come on, let's rest here at the campfire camp today. It won't be too late to set off tomorrow."
-
Somewhere in the vast ocean, there is a solitary, raised island, lush and green. From a distance, it looks like a cauliflower growing here.

Cry, cry, cry

The bird flew over the island, its shadow passing through the woods and the river, and flew in front of a small wooden house.

Anna Heartfilia sat on a small stool in the wooden house, skillfully manipulating the magic flame and stewing a pot of meat. Soon the aroma of meat filled the air.

She quickly poured herself a bowl and enjoyed her lunch while looking out the window at the blue sky, her thoughts drifting away.

She opened the "Eclipse Gate" over four hundred years ago and arrived in the present era on July 777, X7. It has been almost eight years since then.

Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Rogue, Sting, I wonder how the kids are doing now?
It turns out that more than four hundred years ago, the "Black Dragon" Acnologia was invincible in the world.

At that time, both dragons and humans knew that it was impossible to defeat him. What was even more hopeless was that Acnologia's lifespan seemed to have no end in sight, and waiting for him to die of old age was impossible.

At this time, the kind-hearted dragons and humans had signed an offensive and defensive alliance covenant - the "Magna Carta", and the dragon-slaying magic created by Irene had also become popular. These were the prerequisites for everything that followed.

The kind-hearted dragons had a premonition that they could not defeat Acnologia and might even be annihilated by it, so they placed their hopes on the five children they taught, the five Dragon Slayer Wizards.

These children are Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Rogue, and Sting.

They are actually people from more than four hundred years ago. If you calculate their actual age, they are several times older than Mavis, who has stopped developing.

Therefore, the children's combat knowledge was personally taught by the five giant dragons - "Fire Dragon King" Igneel, "Iron Dragon" Medalikana, "Sky Dragon" Grandile, "White Dragon" Perslogia, and "Shadow Dragon" Shigiadora.

Anna teaches common sense in life.

The source of power for the scarf on Natsu is Igneel, but the person who actually wove this scarf is Anna.

The five giant dragons and Anna can be regarded as the parents of the five children.

However, before the children could grow up, the dragon race was struck by a catastrophe, and almost all of the dragons were tragically killed by Acnologia's roar. Igneel and five other dragons also died at the hands of Acnologia. Just as their souls and magic were about to be devoured by Acnologia, Zeref intervened.

Zeref saved the souls of the five dragons, and after escaping danger, he sealed them in the bodies of five children including Natsu, thereby formulating the later "Eclipse Gate Project".

Of course, the price is that once the dragon's soul leaves the children's bodies and manifests as a physical form, they will quickly dissipate.

So they must wait for the perfect time to destroy Acnologia, otherwise everything will be meaningless.

Soon, the "Eclipse Gate Project" began.

Anna and her descendant Leila opened the "Eclipse Gate" in two different eras with extremely high magic concentrations, completing the path to travel through time and space.

She will travel to the future with her five children, and lie dormant there, waiting for the moment to annihilate Acnologia.

However, when her descendant Leila opened the "Eclipse Gate" in X777, something unexpected happened and the children scattered, leaving her alone.

So, she said goodbye to Layla and went to look for Natsu and the others.

It took Anna several years to determine the whereabouts of Naz and others, but after much hesitation, she decided not to disturb their current lives.

This is because they now have family and friends who treat them well. Instead of gathering together and being easily wiped out by Acnologia, it is better to disperse.

Anna was not afraid that the children would be in danger because the souls of the dragons were in the children's bodies.

Their souls can not only effectively prevent children from transforming into violent dragons like Acnologia and Irene, but also provide children with powerful vitality and magic power, enough to protect them.

When the time comes for the final battle with Acnologia, Anna will naturally show up, gather the children together, and tell them the truth.

What's more, while searching for the children, Anna accidentally discovered a place that might be the key to defeating Acnologia.

That place is the "Gap in Time" located above the vast ocean.

Anna realized that this "gap in time" was likely caused by the use of the "Eclipse Gate".

The "Gap in Time" seems to be able to swallow everything, and no one knows where it will go.

If the children and I lure Acnologia here and let the "Gap of Time" swallow him, then this evil "Black Dragon" will be solved, right?

The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Unfortunately, she never met Jellal again and was unable to discuss this plan with him, so she had to make the decision on her own.

So, she settled down on the island not far from the "Gap in Time", guarding the "Gap in Time" while waiting for the opportunity.

After eating and drinking, Anna walked out of the cabin and planned to take a walk.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure appear nearby. She turned her head in surprise and saw a man standing under the big tree over there.

The man had short blond hair and a handsome face. A strange black figure sat on his shoulder, also looking at Anna.
