4 Shadebrook Town

"So, you have come here Zeref…" Zagnivol's old and powerful voice was resounded in the area. Both Shun and Zeref turned their heads towards that direction and saw the Azure Blue Dragon approaching them.

"It has been a long time since we met, isn't that right, Zeref?" Zagnivol had a small smile on his face as he saw the greatest and the strongest wizard of the world. Zeref also smiled as he nodded, "Indeed, it has been too long since we met. Perhaps 400 years already... "

Zeref glanced towards Shun as he commented, "So, you also got yourself a Dragon Slayer…" To which Zagnivol shrugged as he commented, "I just took pity on a child, that's all." A tick mark formed on top of Shun's head as he added his own comments, "Took pity, more like kidnapped me."

Zagnivol innocently whistled as he uttered, "I don't know what you are talking about…" Zeref smiled at their exchange, he remembered his own brother Natsu must have also been like this. He waited for the day when he would meet his brother Natsu once again…

Shun had some questions about Zeref and inquired Zagnivol, "Who is he? Is he your old friend?" Zagnivol started to speak without caring about Zeref's permission, "He is the greatest magician among the humans. He isn't really a friend but more like an acquaintance that I knew from long ago…"

"Ohh…" He then turned towards Zeref with a doubtful expression, "Why did you come here? It shouldn't be because you missed him, right?" Zeref just had that kind expression on his face as he nodded his head.

Shun was surprised as he backed away while exclaming, "WHAAT!? YOU came back to meet him. I thought that you would play with me. I am bored of training with him now." Zeref heard his words and was astonished.

'Play with me, the Black Wizard, the mass murderer.' Zeref shook his head in amusement as he turned towards the Zagnivol with a questioning gaze, "So, you have just trained him huh. You do know that he has to know how to behave around humans."

Zagnivol grinned and showed off it's white teeth, "Yea, I know that. But what can I do, it's not like there are any humans around here." Zeref facepalmed as he heard that and thought in his own head 'There would be humans if you didn't scare them away while monopolizing this whole place for yourself.'

Zagnivol coughed up as he knew what Zeref was thinking. He changed the topic by asking, "So, what should I do now?" Zeref put his hand under his chin as he spoke out loud, "How about bringing a human here?"

Zagnivol straight out rejected it, "No, I don't want to take care for another human. One is more than enough!" He seemed to really hate handling humans. Zeref just sighed before thinking for a different idea and suggested, "Then how about leaving Shun in a Human village, you can pick him up from that location after a month or so."

Zagnivol had a single thought in his head 'FUCK!! Why didn't I think of such an obvious way?' He glanced towards Shun and smiled, he admitted, "Hm...You are right." He then declared, "Alright then, we shall leave for a Human Town right now. Get on my back Shun!"

Shun obeyed as he jumped on Zagnivol's back and took off the ground with a great amount of speed. He tightly grasped Zagnivol's neck and felt unimaginable amount of wind striking his small body.

He released some Azure Fire on his body as he burned off the Wind that was about to strike his body. It caused him to be comfortable while sitting on the Dragon… With that speed, it took them about 3 hours to enter the Kingdom of Fiore.

The reason Zagnivol entered this Kingdom once again was because this was the Kingdom from where he picked up Shun. He lowered it's altitude and got down in a nearby forest. Shun jumped down on the ground and stared back at Zagnivol.

Zagnivol just had a single thing to say, "Take care kiddo. Meet me here after one month…" With that it took a sharp turn and started to fly back but Shun noticed some teardrops flowing out of his eyes.

He started to wave back at him as he caringly spoke, "You too Father...Take care." His voice drifted in the wind and he remained standing at that position for some time. While he was up in the sky, he had noticed a nearby town, that town was Shadebrook.

He went inside the town and saw every single one of them having a happy expression on their faces. He saw some children holding onto their parents hands while dragging them towards the market.

He was overwhelmed with the amount of happiness in the town, he also felt very relaxed while he was in this town. He was tired of the lonely life he lived in the Forest, he was happy with Zagnivol but he was bored there.

Besides, he wouldn't have to train here and would be able to enjoy for this one month. He had a small pouch with some jewels in it and was wondering why Zagnivol gave it to him along the way.

When he asked, he got a reply, "You will know when you are in the town." His stomach grumbled as he wanted to eat something now. He heard someone saying, "Let's go and eat some food." and started to follow them quietly.

Eventually, he reached the market where he was about to go in the restaurant that a lady stopped him at the door. Shun nervously looked towards her and had an adorable expression on his face, he asked her in his cute voice, "Big Sister, can I go inside and eat something? I am starving…"

She looked towards him and exclaimed, "KAWAI~" She kneeled down and pinched his cheeks as she expression, "You are so cute. Where are your parents? It isn't a good to leave them behind like this."

Shun had a sad expression on his face as he lowered his head, "My parents are dead big sister. My adopted father left me here…" The lady had an apologetic expression as she heard his words, she didn't think that she was making him remember about those sad memories.

She smiled towards him which caused him to be mesmerized in it. She voiced out, "Alright then, come inside. I will pay for your food for this one time…" Shun nodded as he didn't think that the town had such nice people in it.

He entered the restaurant and sat on the table, the lady gave him the menu and asked for his choice, "So, what would you like to have?" Shun was blank for some moments before he read the menu and didn't understand what those items were.

He stared blankly at the lady and sadly replied, "I don't know a single item...I have never eaten anything. Please order anything that you think is good." The lady quickly realized that she was asking a young orphan boy for choices.

He seemed as if he had never ate anything from the menu and decided to let him eat the most delicious things in the world. The first thing that came was Chocolate Ice-cream, then the Chocolate Cake and the Chocolate Shake.

After hearing her order, Shun did realize one thing, this lady loved chocolate. He wondered if it was as tasty as hearing about it from her. It took about 10 minutes for them to receive the order and Shun's eyes widened.
