Sora's POV

I was dreaming. Dreaming of what Natsu would look like. I imagined that he would be a kind and gentle boy who respected people. Who also happened to have a tendency to ask people to fight him. I was giggling to myself. I was starting to wake when I heard the gentle sounds of wing beats and the air pressure becoming more dense. I also sensed two different auras. And I also smelled them. Eclipso looked to me to wake me up but saw that I was. Once he landed I got off of his back. He roared to let the other dragon know that he was hear and was asking if we could come over. A roar came back, probably saying that we could. We walked through the forest and came upon a clearing. In it was a dragon about the same size as Eclipso and Nebulia. He was red and had a lot of scars. I could sense behind him was a kid. I'm guessing that it was Natsu. "Well, its been a long time since we've seen each other. Don't you think so too, Igneel?" Eclipso asked. 'So, that dragon is Igneel' I thought. "Indeed it has been a long time, Eclipso. You have brought someone with you. Well, don't be shy now. Come on out." Igneel said. 'Gee, I wasn't hiding, baka. I was standing next to Eclipso the entire time. You just didn't notice me.' I thought angrily. "Hello. I'm Sora. Sora Nova. Natsu is behind you, isn't he?" I ask, with all respect in my voice (note the sarcasm). "Yes indeed, he is behind me. Come on out Natsu, don't tell me that you're a fraidy cat now." Igneel taunted behind him. "I'm NOT a fraidy cat!!! I just don't know those scents." Said the kid who seemed about my age with salmon colored hair. "Well, you must be Natsu. Hi! I'm Sora. Sora Nova. What's your last name?" I said. "I'm Natsu. Natsu Dragneel." he said. "Well, why have you come Eclipso? I don't ever get any visitors." Igneel said. "Well, I just thought that it would be good if Sora got to meet the others." Eclipso said. "Well, she has a busy job then, doesn't she." Igneel said. "She sure does. I just hope that she is up to it." Eclipso said. 

"Hey! Earth to Sora! Are you listening?" Natsu said, trying to get my attention because I was so absorbed in what the dragons were saying. "Huh? What?" I say, my concentration broken. "I said, will you battle me?! To see who is stronger!" Natsu said. I remembered what Eclipso said on the flight here. "Sorry, but I will have to decline that." I said to Natsu, who had fire in his eyes that looked like they were being put out with ice. "HUH!?!?!? Why?!" Natsu asked. "Well, I didn't come here to fight. I only came to familiarize myself with yours and Igneel's scents." I said. "AWWWWWWWW!!!! That's no fun!!!" Natsu shouted while getting into a crisscross position with his arms over his chest. The dragons looked over at us, while Igneel just sighed. "I'm sorry about Natsu. He hasn't ever fought a human opponent before. I guess he was just excited, that's all." Igneel said. "It's okay, right Sora." Eclipso said. "Yeah." I said. "Well, have you gotten their scents memorized, Sora?" Eclipso asked. "Yeah, I got them, as well as their auras." I say with confidence. "Alright then. Goodbye Igneel and Natsu. Say goodbye, Sora." Eclipso says like a caring father would. "Goodbye Natsu. Maybe the next time we meet we can fight to see who is stronger." I say as I head to Eclipso. "You bet we will! And I'm gonna win it!" Natsu yells. "See you in the future, Sora." Igneel says. I quickly turn to look at Igneel and sense sadness coming from him. 'What is that sadness I sense coming from Igneel.' I wonder. I get onto Eclipso's back and we head for Grandeeney and Wendy.
