//-------------------------------------------------------// on new wings -by anicus- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// changes //-------------------------------------------------------// changes as i stand atop the top of the gorge i go over everything that happened over the past week it all started with my fight with my girlfriend Emily i cant even remember what it was about but apparently it was enough to burn down my house what she didn't know  was my parents were staying in the guest room the alarm was broke so they died in that fire that all happened Monday then on Wednesday  i got fired from my job i had for 7 years i mean 7 flipping years all because the boss son wanted my position the only thing that happened that was good was that the caught her trying to get a bus ticket but that didn't last long  because my bank went under taking all my money with it now its Saturday i take one last good look around i notice something all the animals are staring at  me oh well its said that they can sense death i take the step. i can feel the air rush past me i see im nearing the ground so i close me eyes in anticipation but it never can as i never felt the ground now that i think about i i no longer hear the wind i open my eyes to see that there nothing but inky blackness everywhere but i can still see some how then i heard what i can only explain sounds like a heard of buffalo then i heard a voice it was strong and motherly and it said calm young one your life has been wicked and harsh i have given you  new start in a much kinder world now i know u have questions but u will not remember any of this u will only know that u are somewhere safe goodbye.the being said wait if im going to forget this who are u. i asked i suppose i i can answer that i am your true mother the goddess of  the sun celestia .she said one more question why was i there and not with u. i said with a shaky voice because i placed u there during the war with discord the chaos god.she said in her voice it was very faint but there was a small sniffle one last thing. i said walking up to her thank you is what i said hugging her i began to feel warm and sleepy before i fell asleep felt tears on me and heard your welcome in a shaky voice. i slowly come to in what appeared to be a field with a pond a few feet away i could see i very creepy looking forest on one side and a mountain with some kind of structure sticking out of i try to remember how i got i remember jumping then when i try to remember what happened next i cant really tell i try to remember more but it just gets foggier i put my hand on my head then i notice its white and scaly what the fuck i thought staring at it now that pay attention i seem much bigger whats happening i thought remembering the pond i get up to go to it and i fall over. ok that was embarrassing.i said to no one in particular ok if standing on two legs didn't work let try all four i thought to my self i walk like a baby ok this is better making my way to the water once i reach it i was staring dumb founded because looking back at me was a pristine white dragon with snow  white dragon with amber colored fins and horns now normally would have been happy as fuck but for some reason i screamed now the thing that happened if u ever played skyrim why the dragons breath fire they make a noise my scream turned in to that and in front of me was a jet of silver and white fire after that little incident it finally set in im a dragon  not thinking to check i turned my now much longer neck to look at my back sitting there were two large leathery appendages a pair of wing i can fly that one thought stuck in my head i thought to myself lets make sure there were no more surprises nothing i could really tell aside from what i thought was a slightly long tail with a couple spikes on it with the check of my body over i noticed it was getting dark not seeing any caves or shelter hoping nothing would mess with me because im a dragon taking a note from toothless i torched the ground under me and laid down it was surprisingly nice then i let sleep take me. i awoke to the sun glaring at me in a awkward angle i tried to go back to sleep but no that was not gonna happen so i got up my throat was dry so i went to get a drink i sat down at thought about what to  do standing up i said out loud.first things first i need to learn how to us these.fan open my wings i thought ok how hard can it be. i gave a few test flaps .ok i can do this.said out loud. i flapped my wings and felt the ground leave my feet with two more flaps i was at least 100 feet in the air and i was loving it the feel of wind. ok now to get down this is gonna suck.i said tucking my wings and began to plummet toward the ground at the last second i open them and glided down the last 10 or so feet saying out loud. ok now that im a dragon  i need a more dragony name Phil just dosent cut it lets see here. i thought for a few seconds .i got it .deciding to use my Wow characters name. i am now Anicus .said boastfully ok what now what i guess find a cave to live in and build a gold pile i guess what else can i do*sigh*well down the yellow brick road i go.with that i took off no very high just enough see above the trees after a few minutes i heard what sounded like crying setting down in a small clearing using my newly acquired dragonic hearing to track the sound to a cave i peaked inside to find what i think was a dragoness sitting there crying she was slightly smaller than me not being abell  to just leave her there like that i walk in front of the cave and in a quiet ask. are u ok. this immediately gets her attention what do u want here to laugh at me and attack me like all the others.she said never breaking eye contact why would i attack u .i said in a questioning tone because im a magic dragon and we don't have wing and are more magical then normal dragon and because of this u guy hunted us to near extinction that's why. she said in a sad tone now that i had a good look at her she was a dawn purple with a light pink belly and fins just as she said she had no wings but this didn't make her any less beautiful. so i have wings and u don't that doesn't make me any better than better than in fact i think that make u unique.said slowly moving forward with a sniffle she say. u really think so .she said now stopping her crying i know so my name is Anicus. i said  offering my claw for her to shake and im Ruby flame. reaching out and shaking my claw so if u don't mind me asking why were u in here crying.i said well it kind of stupid now but it was because it thought the no one would ever be nice to me but i guess i was wrong huh.she said with a slight smile yeah it weird how fat can deal u a weird hand every now and again huh. said with a slight chuckle if u don't mind me asking what were u doing when u found me . she said i was actually looking for a home cave or something .i said well if u want i guess u could stay here because as far as i know there aren't any other caves around and the nearest one is near a ponie settlement .she said ponie settlement never mind i thought . oh ok looking at the mouth of the cave it was being to get dark well if its ok with i think i will get some sleep . said yawning yeah ithink that would be a good idea we need some food soon .she said torched the ground under me again and laid down why did u do that. she asked well to me it feels comfortable to me .i said laying down good night. i said good night .she replied //-------------------------------------------------------// an unexpected journey //-------------------------------------------------------// an unexpected journey unbeknownst to them as they lay to go to sleep there was a figure watching them they had a faint smile on there face they say. good night my child for u will need it soon. the figure spreads previously unseen wings a fly's away i wake to the sound of my stomach giving a loud rumble i say out loud OK OK im up .say looking around hey were did ruby go.i got my answer by a slight stomping from the back of the cave well look whose up i went and got us some breakfast .she said depositing a pile of gems between us gems?. say skeptically yeah were dragons we eat gemstones. she said i just raised a eye ridge we do.said curiously yeah we do wait if u never had them before what did u eat.she said in a quizzical tone meat. say meat.she repeats yeah it not bad this is better though. i said popping one of the ruby's in in my mouth hay this taste like raspberries. i thought well i guess to each there own. she said we spent the next  twenty minutes eating in silence until i broke the silence with a question so from what u said yesterday are there any other kind of dragons u don't have to answer if u don't wont to.i said waiting for a answer. my question seemed to unsettle her a little but she still answered as far as i know there are three kinds of dragon there your kind with wings are the most common and are mostly mean and cruel but there are exceptions like your self were there nice and then there are the water dragons or serpents as the ponies call them that generally there nice and usually stay live in large lakes rivers and oceans and then there are magic dragons like me we are almost always nice and like are name say were more magical then dragons like u and for what ever reason they really don't like us to the point were they generally attack us on sight and were near extinction that's why i was so scared of u  when u found me.she said concluding her little lesson i still  don't think that right. said in  a slightly miffed tone well that just the way it is. she said finishing the rest of our break fast so what do we do now. i said well we cant stay here it took me nearly 4 hours just to gather that and its not enough to support 1 adult dragon let alone two so i suggest we find a new cave.ruby stated ok that makes sense so where do we start.i said tapping a claw on my chin well it needs to be some place where were pretty sure that their are no other dragons for territorial reasons and seems to be rich in gems.she said crossing here arms in thought oh i think i know some place where we can check when i was on my way over the forest a saw a mountain in the distance i still remember the way.i said well its someplace to start.ruby said and with that we left with me leading the way after about 4 hours of walking we stopped to take a break it was near were i woke i could still seen the scorch mark on the ground i went to get a drink of water when she asked me a question she asked u can fly so why do u stay on the ground with me. she questioned i don't fly because it wouldn't be fair to u because u would have to walk the entire way when i could get there in much faster and plus   i don't know what to look for..i said well that makes sense but u should at least fly around some on the way your not meant to walk for long periods of time.she said with what i think was a worried look in her eyes ok guess that makes sense well any ways we should get going.i said while giving my wings a few test flaps i give her a are u sure look she nods and i take off after about 30 minutes of this i get a idea slowly descending so im within arms reach i hook my arms securely  under her and with a few flaps were in the sky she give a quick yelp saying. hey what are u doing .covering her eyes i bend my neck down and say. look at this view its spectacular.in a calm gentle voice she opens her eyes and all i hear is wow while where flying over what can best be described as a sea of grass with a mountain at the end
