Year's had passed by without any promising leads on Natsu's adoptive father, and with each one a little part of him died, that ember of hope he had of finding Igneel, he'd walked to every corner of the known world, followed every lead and yet nothing. Through his ninja seal he could still feel the beat of hope that Igneel was out there, but where? He's been searching in the Land of Fire most recently, hearing rumors of a beast in the area, just past the Valley of the End. It was kind of ironic to Natsu, that inside he felt his journey was coming to close and it would be by the Valley of the End. He was about to give up when he was resting within Konoha at this point, having travelled from the Land of Wind on a last hope, sat in Ichiraku Ramen, feeling sorry for himself, losing all hope. He found himself talking to himself "Igneel, where are you?", that's when his luck would turn, it turned out that Ichiraku had overheard what Natsu was saying, and going off how down Natsu was he decided to speak to him. "Did you say Igneel? Funny you should mention that name, there was a guy in here yesterday, said something about someone called Igneel, talking about a temple to the east of here, said something about a day ago, wasn't too sure what he was on about, but you seem like you're after the same guy right?", Natsu looked up wide eyes and mouth left half open at the mention of his father's name, "Igneel? Are you sure he said Igneel? Where?! Tell me!?!?!". He explained quickly about some temple to the east and before he could finish explaining, Natsu through on his cloak and sprinted out eastward as fast as he could.
Within twenty minutes, he found a temple, was it the temple? It was huge, looked like it had been built for giants, but there was no one around. Natsu sprinted up the steps having to leap to get to the next one, only a ninja would be able to make these jumps. At the top of the steps he stopped and looked around, he'd been blinded by hope but something wasn't right, it was too quiet, what was going on? Was Igneel ok? He slowly began to walk into the great temple heading in the direction of what he assumed was the main hall, but now he moved cautiously. He entered the main hall, complete darkness except for a crack in the wall that let a streak of light in. Natsu stopped and looked around. Was Igneel already gone? He decided to stop over doing it, he took deep breathes to calm himself, then once he'd relaxed, he let his heat sensing take hold of him as he felt for all heat around him, and that's when he realised, there was no Igneel, it was another dead end, otherwise his heat sensing would be off the charts, but then something, a small heat nagged at him, one he didn't notice before now as he was trying to find large body heats, behind one of the pillars mid range from him the heat he could feel was that of a Human, someone was here, hiding, waiting. Natsu turned in that direction raising his voice so it echoed through the entire temple. Who's there and where is Igneel!!!!

All you know
Mid range
Large temple enough to hold summons up the the size of gamabunta, grass and trees outside. The Walls are old rock and only hold C rank strength but carry enough weight to crush a ninja. The room is dark but has just enough light for us to both see right now. It's mid day outside with clear skies. Natsu uchiha in sig but with no weapon summoned yet. Heat sensing is the only passively active thing on my bio.
