Chapter 3: Scarlet-haired friend
Chapter 3
March 8, 376.
A week has already passed since my birthday and this morning I had a strange premonition, as if something bad would happen. I tried to talk about it with my mother, but she only smiled, stroked my head and said. - Can this day be bad when we spend it together?
At that moment, a worm of doubt was already born in me and during the day it only grew stronger. After all, the three of us spent the whole day as if it were our last day and my mother wanted to leave good memories, today I even went to bed not separately, but with my mother and the phrase that was said to me before I closed my eyes almost brought me into hysterics.
-Be strong, my little petrel, and we will definitely meet again.
I wanted to open my eyes and rush to hug Grandina with tears, but I could not because I was swallowed up by darkness, and then I woke up in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. Tears were streaming from my eyes, and I could only scream about how unfair it was and how early it was.
-I SHOULD HAVE HAD ANOTHER YEAR!!!
At that moment, I entered the dragon rage mode without noticing it, my magic seemed to increase 10 times and I could smell even some rodent at a distance of 10 kilometers. The whole forest fell silent, feeling the aura of an angry dragon.
I don't know how long exactly I roared like that in the forest, but I still managed to gather my strength and gradually let go of my rage, noting on the edge of my consciousness the albeit tiny but grown reserve, after which I washed myself with the help of water magic. I used the seed and changed my clothes to pants and a long-sleeved shirt of blue color with the characteristics of my mother's scales.
I didn't know where I was, and trying to call someone seemed unnecessary to me. I've already made too much noise. But since I ended up on the path anyway, why not just follow it? Sooner or later I'll come to some populated area.
I walked for quite a long time, lost in my thoughts and praying that I really would be sent 400 years into the future, and not that I would upset my mother and she would abandon me. When I had such thoughts, I would periodically break into a run, but then calm down and tell myself that Grandina would never abandon me. So I walked until it was dark, until I saw a fire in the distance. I carefully decided to check who was there and I was very surprised when I saw a wounded scarlet-haired girl who, remembering the image of the dragon queen that Anna showed me, were almost 2 peas in a pod with only an age difference. And when I realized that I saw Elsa, my soul immediately felt better because it was direct proof that I was in the future and, apparently, unlike canon, I was sent earlier.
-Hello. Can I join you? - I asked, carefully approaching her so as not to scare her.
-Who are you? - asked the worried Elsa, who, despite my harmless appearance, still put her hand on the sword and prepared for battle.
-I don't want to fight! - I said hastily, waving my hands in front of me. - I am Wendy Marvel, the storm dragon slayer! And I offer you treatment for your wounds in exchange for some food!
-Dragon slayer? - asked the clearly unconvinced girl.
-Well, I didn't kill dragons. My mother Grandina was a heavenly dragon and she taught me dragon slayer magic, although I was taught mainly the healing side of this magic. And anyway, I've already introduced myself, now it's your turn. Besides, you look suspiciously like the dragon queen Irene Belserion. But the last time I heard about her was in 374, when she was imprisoned by her own husband because she started to transform into a dragon.
-Stop, stop, stop! - Elsa said, clutching her head. - You talk too much at once! And what kind of dragon queen is this, and it's 776 now.
-Sorry. - I sincerely apologized to the girl, realizing that I really said too much, but still, this is Elsa! The best girl in Fairy Tail. - How about I heal your wounds and then we can talk calmly?
-... okay. - Elsa narrowed her eyes at me and finally gave in and agreed.
I had to spend almost 2 hours and 2 reserves to heal all the cuts and scratches on her, fortunately she didn't have any fractures or cracks in her bones.
- Sorry, but I can't restore the eye. - Bowing 90 degrees in front of her, I apologized. - But I saw that in this time, the Fairy Tail guild should have a healer who can make artificial eyes. Although she is more of an alchemist.
- N-no big deal, thank you- Elsa answered, embarrassed by my apologies. - What did you mean by saw in this time?
- Oh, I saw it once, one of the options for the development of the future in this world. - I began enthusiastically. After which I got upset and sullenly sat down on a stump opposite Elsa. - Only some things have already gone wrong, as I saw.
- And why did you compare me to the dragon queen then? - Elsa asked with interest.
- It's just that I saw in the future you met her and found out that she was your mother, but because of the dragon's curse when she gave birth to you, despite the fact that she endured for 400 years to save you, she lost her emotions and those grains that remained in her were only enough not to kill you, but to leave you in the hope that someone would pick you up. - I again enthusiastically began to broadcast about how amazing Irene was.
- I'm sorry that I spilled everything like that, I just really admire you and your mother. - Once again bowing to her, I apologized. - and to be honest, it's a little difficult for me to cope with the fact that I so unexpectedly parted with my mothers.
- No, on the contrary, thank you for telling me. - Elsa answered, and tears began to flow from her only eye, but the local titania did not want to look weak now and, brushing away her tears, decided to change the topic - Moms? shouldn't there be a mom and dad?
-I don't have a mom! I even know a spell that allows girls to have children. Just don't tell anyone okay? - the girl nodded decisively to my last question and I extended my little finger to her and said. - Let's keep everything we talked about today our secret and we won't tell anyone without the other's permission!
-Let's do it! - Elsa nodded decisively and took my little finger with hers.
And so began the friendship of the duo that all villains will fear!
