"I'm Fluttershy." The quiet spoken mare said as she looked at the frost raptor. Fidgeting with her hooves slightly, "Um... by chance, do you know your friend's names?"

"Master, Celestia, and Philomena." The blue and white bird said in its own calls.

Chryo's calls seemed to make the changeling stir for a moment only for him to mutter "sister" in his sleep. When he settled down Chryo went from his side to land on Fluttershy's back. Looking to the mare he perched on, he gave her a curios look.

"Are you going to be okay?" Chryo asked. "You look conflicted."

Fluttershy turned to respond to Chryo's comment but couldn't as she began to ask herself why. She found that Chryo is right and she was wondering what exactly she was hopeing to accomplish in saving his life. "Why am I feeling this way? This has never happened before." She asked herself under her breath.

A staccato of knocks at her front door startled her out of her self questioning and back to the real world. "W-who is it?" She called out, fearing the worst.

"Fluttershy, it's us, can you let us in?" Came Twilight's voice from the other side.

Slowly Fluttershy opened the door to see all her friends standing outside with concerned looks on their faces. She walked out and shut the door behind her before they could look inside.

"Fluttershy, darling, I'm so glad that you're okay. When we herd the dragon we thought it would come here." Rarity said as she came up to nuzzle her yellow friend, only to stop when she noticed the blue and white bird.

"Ooo, who is your new friend, Fluttershy?" Pinkie asked as she bounced near the yellow mare.

"Um.. this is is Chryo, he is a friend and he's just visiting for a while." Fluttershy said as Chryo looked Pinkie.

"Wait wait wait, did you say his name was Chryo?" Twilight asked as a look of recognition crossed her face. When Fluttershy nodded, her eyes lit up. "I thought I recognized you from somewhere." Walking into his view, "Do you remember me, Chryo?" she asked the raptor.

As if to say yes he took off, landed on her back, and dropped the temperature around him by ten degrees to make the unicorn shiver.

"I've heard of Phoenixes before but what kind of bird can cause the air temperature to drop?" Rainbow Dash asked as she watched Twilight try to get the blue and white bird off of her back before she got any colder.

"He's a frost raptor and a old friend of the princess'" Twilight said as she finally convinced Chyo to get off. "They are very rare and extremely hard to befriend let alone tame. They are even more uncommon than Phoenixes. Who ever his master is he is either very powerful or very lucky."

"What is pupal doing here?" Chryo asked no pony in particular as he landed back on Fluttershy's back.

"She lives here, Chryo. She's the librarian of Ponyvile." Fluttershy said to him.

From where Applejack was standing she could see that all was okay and that no critters were trying to harm her friends. Leaning up against the wall she watched on in content until she heard a noise come from the inside of Fluttershy's cottage. Thinking it's just one of her other animal friends she payed it little attention, that is until she heard a groan come from inside.

"Uh, Fluttershy," Applejack called in concern. "I think somepony's in your house." Looking through the window next to her she noticed a dark pony shaped object move slightly as the sound of wings buzzing came to her ears. Hearing that her expression darkened.

For the third time today he awoke, this time however he felt as if he was made of lead and was incapable of movement for a short time. As he laid there he could see his surroundings well and was surprised by them. He was in a house somewhere and it looked to be some sort of animal clinic by first glance. The whole room was covered in small animal homes and from the rafters hung many bird houses.

Closing his eyes he went to his other senses to try and get a better understanding of what's going on. From where he lay he could hear small animals in the walls and from other rooms. With a little more focus he could hear voices outside talking. By the sound of it, it was a conversation between five mares. One of witch sounded like the mare he saved in the Ever Free.

The call of his friend Chryo pulled him from the depths of his focus and back to the real world. Hearing his friend reminded him of something, he needed to inform Celestia of his banishment. Slowly he found his body was beginning to heed his commands once again. With some effort he rolled off of the couch he was laying on only to land on the floor with a thud.

With a groan he got to his wobbly hooves only to notice somepony looking into the window. He couldn't catch what the figure said but he could hear what was coming. Suddenly the door opened to reveal six mares in total looking at him. He recognized the yellow pegasus and she looked at him with an apologetic look. The other five he didn't recognize and were giving him mixed looks.

Author's Note

Sorry for the extremely late update, had a very shitty case of writers block this week and a half. I hope to have the next chapter out in a week but with the way my mind has been recently I cannot make any guarantees.
