Sting fell asleep on the operation table as Wendy and a few other trusted mages worked on healing his heart. Sting felt his reality get turned upside down. Out of no where he was in a dark room. He could not see anything at all. But what he could smell and sense was a dark presence with him.

"Who's here?" Sting asked

"You remember the invasion after the Grand Magic Games right?"

"I do. Who the hell are you?" Sting snapped

"Sting you need to be very careful and make sure the shadows don't find you."

"I'm not in danger. I'm not a shadow dragon slayer. It's Rogue who has to worry."

"But you are close to Rogue. And you could become possessed by that shadow."

"This doesn't make anyone sense. How would I-"

"At a vulnerable state do not let your anger consume you. That shadow demon that haunts Rogue and feeds off your anger and sorrow. If you let all of that consume you, you'll be lead into eternal darkness."

Sting's eyes widened," Why are you telling me this? And who are you?"

"Because, Sting, if you're not careful you'll be the one to ruin the future. You would be the one to lead the invasion of dragons. You would be the one with the goal to be the 'dragon king' as the white shadow dragon."

Sting looked frightened, he started to shiver from head to toe "Wha.... What do I do?!"

"Protect what's precious to you, our conversation ends now."

"Hold on! I should tell Rogue and Y/N about this right? Shouldn't I tell my frie-"

"No Sting. Act as if we never had this conversation."

"But who are you?"

"That's none of your concern. I'm going to end our conversation now, protect your family. Don't let the future turn into ashes."

"It won't happen, I promise." Sting said

"Okay here's the important part, Hold still." The entity said, putting its hands on Sting's head.

"Wait what?"

"I'm showing you what will happen in the future if you become the white shadow dragon. Remember, the choice is up to you completely.."

"What the hell!"

"Never mind. Hold still."

After what seemed like forever of seeing what would happen if the shadow got to him, Sting vowed to never let it happen. The future was awful, it terrified him completely. The vision he had seen was (Y/N)'s death. His vulnerable state during that allowed that shadow of Rogue's to consume him. He saw himself kill Natsu and even Rogue.

Sting felt as if he was lost in his own mind. Zeref was going to kill (Y/N) and Natsu. What was he going to do? By fate he was destined to run into Lacarde, Zeref's 'son'. He wouldn't be able to make it in time to save the Dragneels.

'I need to wake up.' Sting told himself 'Please someone wake me up I'm begging you! Wake me up!'

As they were performing the surgery on Sting, he started thrashing around the table, swinging at everyone.

"Sting! Sting! Stop it!" Wendy shouted, his movement was causing himself to loose more blood. The nurses magic restricted ropes. Once they restrained him, Wendy continued with the surgery.

'What was that? I've never seen anyone do that before. Especially after being put to sleep by gas.' Wendy thought as she stitched Sting's skin back together after successfully healing the damage his heart had taken.

"He should be okay. Put him in the spare room with the other patients to rest." Wendy said

"Yes ma'am." The two nurses said as they rolled Sting to the room. Right after they shut the door, Sting gasped as he awoke from his sleep. He looked around and saw other people in the room that seemed to go on forever. He looked next to him and saw a heart monitor.

Sting knew he had to go back and find (Y/N) quickly. He tore the needles and equipment attached to him and threw them on the floor. He touched the bandage that was around his chest.

'I'll be fine.' He thought as he sprinted out of the building
