Bolt & Nova:Sympathy for the Dragon
Bolt opened the door as he heard a knock. He looked down to see a nervous green stallion he was all too familiar with. This green pony was a mess scruffy unkempt mane coat covered in stains and oil spills. Bolt gave an annoyed huff and started to blow smoke from his nose letting off steam. The green pony begun to fumble looking for words. “I uhh is Miss Nova…hom….” Before the green pony could finish Bolt wrapped his claws around the visitors face and threw him to the ground. As he flew to the ground he dropped what he was holding a bouquet of flowers. Bolt caught the flowers with his tail and looked at them. “I told you she’s not interested.” He said rather annoyed that this suitor was coming onto his partner. Bolt slammed the door shut and threw the flowers onto the fire with the seven other gifts he had tried to give her among them chocolates and make up. The flowers burn in the fire the petals falling one by one as the white roses turn to ashes of black and feed the all-consuming fire.
Bolt & Nova:Sympathy for the Dragon
Sometime later Bolt and Nova wound up at Canterlot castle in front of a very angry Celestia in Canterlot castle. The princess was droaning on about rules and regulations being broken that set Bolt on edge about her lack of compassion for Nova. “Celestia cut the crap! We get it this is bad. A life for a life is something that’s going to have to happen and I know you’re not going to let any of your subjects die.” Bolt said in a very annoyed tone. He was fearless and able to take this tone with her as one they were on good terms as Bolt repelled threats from the city frequently as a monster hunter and the fact as a dragon nopony scared him. “War is upon us Silver Bolt what do you propose we do.” The princess asked holding her head high. “Give us three days. If we can catch the killer and bring him to justice Nova and I will talk with the mother of this hatchling to smooth things over.” The dragon pleaded Celestia nodded and granted the blue speedster his request. Bolt placed his wing over the still sobbing Nova and escorted her out. As they left Luna entered and started to stare at the dragon’s behind. She gave a small smile and giggled as he left admiring the firm form of his backside. Celestia simply shook her head at the younger sister’s infatuation of the heroic dragon and used her magic to close the doors behind them.
Bolt & Nova:Sympathy for the Dragon
“Bolt can you get me subsection five of the peace treaty?” Nova asked while franticly flipping through her scrolls. Bolt was busy mounting a giant scorpion head on the wall. ”Just a sonic sec sexy.” Bolt replied. After several attempts of it not staying up Bolt smiled and kicked the ground sending a sword into the air he punched the hilt of the blade sending it into the mouth of the slain scorpions pinning it to the wall. “I told you I’m not the delicate cautious type.” He says patting the trophy he has just pinned to the wall. Now done with his display Bolt disappears from sight and reappears over by a bookshelf on the other side of the house. He runs his claws along the spines of the books neatly lined up in perfect pristine order. He finds the desired tome and pulls it out using his super speed that would put Rainbowdash to shame. He zooms down to the bottom level of their two story Canterlot apartment and places the book on the table next to Nova. Nova thanks the blue dragon by running her hoof down his spines the way he liked quickly before pulling away deeply involved in her work. Bolt grins as Nova knew all the pressure points that were relaxing to a dragon with her little gesture. After a moment passes Bolt speaks seeing her with her nose still in her books. “So what ya working on?” He asked curious what his partner was up to.” Nova pulled her head out of the book and begun to explain in her haughty Canterlot accent. “Celestia has ordered a revision of the entire Dragon Pony peace accord and its due in three days. I can’t let the princess down this is very important and is the only reason your allowed to in pony society.” She told him very proud of her work as she flipped open the book Bolt brought her now looking for loop holes ponies could use.
Bolt donned a cheeky grin and nibbled the edge of Nova’s ear which made her giggle. He then whispered with a raspy and wicked tone. “How about we test your physical knowledge of dragons.” He asked her. Nova giggled and turned red whispering something equally as naughty back. Bolt’s grin grew wide showing his sharp teeth. “But not until later tonight okay I’m very busy.” She said going back to her work. Bolt gave an annoyed sigh and paced around idly on his two back legs before dropping into four.
Bolt & Nova:Sympathy for the Dragon
Bolt and Nova were walking home from dinner later that night after having enjoyed a meal at the only restaurant that offers dragon cuisine. Bolt felt guilty about making Nova eat their often they didn’t really have anything on the menu she enjoyed but Bolt appreciated her coming all the same. He didn’t really like eating plants like ponies did but he enjoyed the gems they offer. They entered back ally intent on taking a short cut home as Nova still had a lot of work to do. Feeling uneasy Bolt walked ahead feeling protective. “Gems again Bolt!? You’re running our bits dry.” Nova said a little annoyed. “Hey I guess I’ve just got expensive taste.” Bolt replied with a small smile while his words carried a relaxed raspy tone.
Bolt stopped as he saw something that disgusted him before his feet. He placed his hand in front of Nova to prevent her from seeing. She eagerly looked over his shoulder curious as she was. And the sight that had befallen her eyes was a terrible one. A sight that equal horror could hold for Nova there on the street before them lay a dead dragon hatchling. Its body barely recognizable its facial features were destroy and its sexual organs were cut off. It would be impossible to tell what gender it was now if it weren’t for Nova being the leading authority on dragon Ethology. The Pegasus fell to her knees and wrapped her hands around the little baby body. Nova had dedicated her entire life to dragons this was living nightmare for her. She began crying tears of almost a motherly kind. Bolt placed his wing around Nova looking away disgusted by the sight he saw. Soon sirens begun blaring and lights from nearby buildings flickered on as Nova’s screaming cries had alerted the guards. The darkness of the alleyway was lit up as guards came galloping with dangling lanterns chasing away the darkness.
