Part of World, Mermaid of the Sea

Welcome to Sabertooth

Reader's POV

        I walked town after town on my own two feet, trying to find the answers I'm looking for. Everyone I've talked to would either scoff me off or laugh me off. They didn't believe me when I told them I'm for Ariella because dragons don't exist. These people were living in their own blissful ignorance. 

Dragons do exist. It's just that they are extremely rare in this magical world. 

On my quest to seek out my mother, I saw something fell from the sky. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's... something that smack right in my face! As I fell backwards, I look to see what landed on my stomach. It was a cute blue-eyed white cat with a purple striped tail, purple tipped ears, and sporting rather unusual clawed gloves on the front paws.

        "Hey! Are you the one who was raised by a dragon?" the cat asked. I rubbed my head a bit as I blinked my eyes to the sight before me. I take a moment to realize something. Did this cat just talked to me? "Aren't you going to respond? You know, it's rude to ignore someone who's talking to you." the white cat scolded me and crossed its arms. 

        "I'm sorry. Who are you?" I asked softly. The cat closed its eyes and grinned widely. It puffed its chest out and placed its gloved paws on its hips. 

        "The name's Gato. I'm an Exceed. What's wrong? Did this female cat got your tongue?" she asked cheekily. She chuckles as I kept staring at her. I picked her up to place her on the ground. I slowly got up and turned my attention to the 'Exceed' she referred to herself. 

        "I'm just surprised to see a cat talk. Then again, I've already seen mermaids and my mother is a dragon. Guess I shouldn't be surprised to see a talking cat let alone a smiling cat." I answered to her. She grinned widely like the cat in Alice in Wonderland.

        "So you did have met a dragon before. Does this mean you use Dragon Slayer magic?" Gato asked. I nodded my head. Sparkles gleamed from her eyes. "That's SO awesome! Can I tag along with you?" she asked. I raised my eyebrow. A cat for a partner? After a few moments, I made my decision. 

        "Sure. I'd be happy to have some company. Come on, let's go." I said. I turned around as she follow me in tow.

That was a few years ago...

3rd Person POV

        (Y/N) wanted to join Fairy Tail after hearing rumors that a wizard known as Salamander is a Fire Dragon Slayer. In addition, the Iron and Sky Dragon Slayer also joined Fairy Tail. However, news spread like a wildfire. While the three Dragon Slayers and the top dogs of the Fairy Tail guild were on Tenrou Island, a dragon named Acnologia appeared and obliterated the entire island. Once Aconologia disappeared, the Magic Council searched for the missing wizards for months until they finally declared them deceased.

It hit (Y/N) really badly. She wanted to join Fairy Tail in hopes of asking the Dragon Slayers questions of their dragon  parents. Without them, she saw no point of joining Fairy Tail anymore. Right now, the Water Dragon Slayer and her partner are walking to find the new guild they've considered joining.
