When Davion the dragon knight is whisked to equestria by the ancients, Will he cope with his newfound world or will he let his inner dragon finally take over?

After years on the trail of a legendary Eldwurm, the skilled dragon-slayer found himself facing a disappointing foe: the dreaded Slyrak had grown ancient and frail, its wings tattered, its few remaining scales stricken with scale-rot, its fangs ground to nubs, and its fire-gouts no more threatening than a pack of wet matchsticks. Seeing no honor to be gained in dragon-murder, the young knight prepared to turn away and leave his old foe to die in peace. But a voice crept into his thoughts, and Slyrak gave a whispered plea that the knight might honor him with death in combat. The knight agreed, and found himself rewarded beyond expectation for his act of mercy: As he sank his blade in Slyrak's breast, the dragon sank a claw into his throat. As their blood mingled, Slyrak sent his power out along the Blood Route, offering all its strength and centuries of wisdom to the knight. The dragon's death sealed their bond, and Dragon Knight was born. The ancient power slumbers in the knight, waking when he calls it; or perhaps it is the Dragon that calls the Knight....
But after several years of fighting the dire Davion is transported to equestria to face one finale trial. Finding strength in friendship

Chapter 1: Where in the mad moon am i?

After another riveting fight against the dire and another victory The dragon knight proceeded to go to see his only friend and true ally Keeper who had called him to his chambers.

"Keeper? Are you present?" Asked the knight as he knocked on the door.

Maybe he is not.

"Maybe not Slyrak. Let us go,"

Then without a single heeding moment Keepers door swung open revealing the eternity old man himself.

"Oh hello Davion. Please come in," Said the keeper gesturing to come in.

"Thank you Keeper."

Upon entering the knight is greeted by the all too familiar hermit feel of keepers housing. One coffee table two chairs and thats it.

"It always wonders me why you never get more furniture keeper," Said the knight politely.

"I get that alot Davion. Now i called you here for a reason. Besides me do you truly have any other friends?"

The question hit the knight like a sack of bricks. Why would keeper ask him such a thing? Why now after so many years of fighting the dire would he ask this now? Why now? Then it hit the knight. Keeper was his only friend. Sure he had allies but nothing else but that. Allies.

"No keeper. I-I don't," Said the knight with his sudden realization.

"Thats why your here. I am going to give you a trial. If you survive and learn your lesson then you win. If you dont youll be trapped there for the rest of eternity until your death or until your lesson is taught."

"Where will i go?"

Before his question could be answered Davion was blinded by a bright light and all he saw was white light.

"Twilight! Wake up!" Said spike trying to get his 'sister' out from the bed.

"Mhpmh! What!" Yelled Twilight getting out of the bed.

Startled by her sudden anger spike said "T-theirs something that just fell out from the sky! Into the plaza!"

"Spike...It was probably just an asteroid. Nothing to worry about..."

"But its not just some rock! Its some thing in armor!"

Twilights eyes widen at this acusation

"A-are you sure?"

"Yeah! Nopony knows what it is! I sent a letter to the princess but she hasn't showed up yet!"

"Lets go!"

"Arghhh! What did keeper do to me? Sylrak What happened? Slyrak? You there? Odd... Usually he'll talk his maw off."

When the dust settled Davion looked around and realized he was in a town square surrounded by horses?

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed one of the ponies running or galloping? Off.

"What in the name of the elderwurms?"

Then without a single warning two pegasi guards ran to the knight with spears in their hands? Er-Hooves

"Halt vile beast! Stand down or face the wrath of Celestia!" Yelled one of the guards.

The knight stood silent and grabbed his sword and shield

"I said Halt!"

"And i heard," Said the knight with his gruff like voice.

Startled by his very deep and gruff voice one of guards flinched and backed up slightly.

"Scared? You should be," Said the dragon knight threateningly readying his sword and shield.

Growling the two guards charged the knight with spears ready. The knight stood still waiting and then-BANG!
One guard fell by the knight shield bash and the other was greeted by a hot stream of fire. Luckily only giving some minor burns but still burns none the less. At this time spike and twilight had arrived at the square and saw what just happened.

"Twilight? He just breathed fire! Like a dragon! Like me!"

"I-it did! It really did!" Said twilight in awe.

"I am not a it. I am a he. Also im not a dragon. Im part dragon," Said the knight nonchalantly. "Now tell me. Where in the mad moon am i?"

"E-equestria," Said twilight still in awe.

"Equestria? Peculiar name. 'Land of ponies' Odd. But ive seen odder."

"Who are you? And what are you?" Asked spike.

"One second," Said the knight.

Davion proceeded to walk to the guard with burns on his face. Pulling out his salve he rubbed it on the guards face healing the burns but knocking him out cold.

"Now i am a dragon knight. Basically i am part dragon. Part knight."

"How are you part dragon?" Asked Spike intrigued.

"Well its a long story. But if you really want to know ill tell you. This is how my story is told"

After years on the trail of a legendary Eldwurm, the skilled dragon-slayer found himself facing a disappointing foe: the dreaded Slyrak had grown ancient and frail, its wings tattered, its few remaining scales stricken with scale-rot, its fangs ground to nubs, and its fire-gouts no more threatening than a pack of wet matchsticks. Seeing no honor to be gained in dragon-murder, the young knight prepared to turn away and leave his old foe to die in peace. But a voice crept into his thoughts, and Slyrak gave a whispered plea that the knight might honor him with death in combat. The knight agreed, and found himself rewarded beyond expectation for his act of mercy: As he sank his blade in Slyrak's breast, the dragon sank a claw into his throat. As their blood mingled, Slyrak sent his power out along the Blood Route, offering all its strength and centuries of wisdom to the knight. The dragon's death sealed their bond, and Dragon Knight was born. The ancient power slumbers in the knight, waking when he calls it; or perhaps it is the Dragon that calls the Knight....

"Thats my story."

With spikes eyes widened with awe a mysterious voice spoke up.

"Fascinating now tell me who are you?"

"Princess!" Exclaimed twilight

Chapter 2: Royalty and the dragon

"Princess!" Exclaimed twilight after realizing her teacher was present.

"Royalty huh?" Asked the knight after looking at the the princess observingly. She certainly looks the part that's for sure.

"Now I ask again. Before I get angry you had best answer. Who are you?" Asked Celestia again with her voice becoming more and more forceful with each passing word.

"I am Davion. The dragon knight."

"Now what in equestria is a dragon knight?" Asked Celestia again with a slightly less forceful tone.

"I am a knight who has gained the power of a dragon."

"Sounds too far fetched to be honest. For all I know you could simply use spells to do the things you do," Said Celestia eyeing daggers at the knight..

"True. I have reasonable proof that I am part dragon."

"What proof?" Asked twilight and Celestia almost simultaneously.

"Sorry," Said twilight with a slight blush.

"You see princess. I can turn into a dragon."

With surprised expression on Twilight, Celestias, and especially Spikes face they all stared at the knight like he was mad. Which happened a lot to the knight. Unsurprisingly. But then a mare maybe a little smaller then Celestia stepped out of the carriage eyeing the knight like he was a wild animal waiting to be put down.

"Next thing you'll tell us is that you can breathe fire that can freeze," Said the shorter but darker one.

"I can do that actually. I can also make fire that's acidic. Now this high populated area. Let us go where I can show you freely."

"Yes. I wish to see this myself," Scoffed Luna in disbelief. "Also my name is Luna. Yours?"

"Davion."

After walking for several minutes the five reached a small grasslands like area. Far enough for the knight to show them his power

I hope to the ancients this will work. I hate making a fool of my self.

When the five stopped walking the knight noticed several other ponies that decided to see the knight. Many had doubt, some anger and others had amazement. Especially the little ones. They didn't seem afraid. More like they wished to see the knights amazing magic.

"Well? We are waiting," Said Luna coldly.

With a large inhale the dragon knight focused searching for his strength. After believing he was ready Davion exhaled loudly and then it happened. The knights body was wrapped in flames. These flames like always never burned or hurt the knight. When the flames fully wrapped the knight in a neutral embrace the flames bulged until the knight now dragon stretched out his wings and roared loudly enough to scare even a manticore. The knight then looks back at the crowd and huffs out a puff of steam from his nostrils.

" Believe me now?

With a slow nod from everyponys heads the dragon then spread his wings victoriously and flew straight upwards. After going past the clouds the dragon looks down upon the town and realizes how big it actually was. Sure wasn't nearly as large as the battlefield he has grown so used to but was still fairly large town. With a nod the dragon then flew straight down landing in the same spot spreading small amounts of dirt and grass outwards upon his impact.

"Bravo! Bravo!" Exclaimed a familiar elderly voice.

" Keeper! You have a lot to explain! Said the dragon

"I know. But I've told you. I wont let you come back until you learn the power of friendship. Plus there's another reason but I wont tell you that quite yet," Said the keeper.

With this the dragons familiar neutral flames wrapped around him and turned back to his humanoid stature.

"Now Celestia. Daughter I will leave you with my friend. Just don't tell him of my plan. Not yet. Tata!" Said the keeper disappearing in a ball of light fading away towards the sun.

"Keeper is your father?!" Asked the knight obviously surprised at this.

"Yes he is. Technically grandfather but he treats me like his own offspring. Now the question is where will you stay? Residence wise of course," Said Celestia with a pondering look on her face.

"He can stay with us Right Twilight?" Asked Spike quickly.

"Spike! Its not that I wont give him shelter its just that I uh well..." Said twilight at a lost for her own words.

"Don't trust me. Don't worry. I am a knight after all. I promise on my honor I shall not harm anyone without a reason."

"Alright. And its every pony."

"Let us go. Also Spike it was? Why were you so adamant about me joining you two?"

"Well you see I've only met a few other dragons and well they're total jerks. Always," Said Spike slightly muttering

"Ah I see."

"Here we are. Now a few rules. You will not mess up my books. And you will help me at least every so often," Said twilight putting her hoof to the knights chest and pulling it back hast fully.

"I understand," Said the knight bluntly.

After the rules were stated the knight, the book worm, and the infant dragon entered the library. Looking around the knight finally spoke up.

"Where may I rest?" Asked the knight.

" Oh um...." Stuttered twilight.

"Its alright. I can rest on the floor. I have rested in rougher circumstances."

"Alright. Well good night. See you tomorrow," Said twilight trotting back upstairs to her room.

With that spike brought down his little hand basket of a bed and asked.

"Could I sleep by you?"

"I don't mind," Said the knight bluntly.

"THanks."

Spike then put down his 'bed' and curled up in his small blanket and started to sleep.

"Keeper. I just have a feeling that you have me here for more then friendship. Something big. Now what is the question."

The knight the closed his eyes and drifted off to a peaceful sleep.

Chapter 3: Breakfast in a Tree

The next day the Dragon knight awoke in the library and rising quickly. He looks around and sees its only just dawn so what does any rational knight do? He grabs his sword and shield to train of course! But unfortunately when the knight reached the door he realized it was enchanted and unable to open. Why Twilight would do this The Knight would never know. But the Knight is not one to simply be bored out of his mind. However he did try the windows. Locked. Defeated The Knight finally Decided to do something a little more simple.

"Well then. Maybe I'll just read a book," Said the knight sighing in defeat.

Deciding he would break any of the furniture the knight grabbed a book about dragons (Surprising) and opened it and read its contents.

Chapter 1: Diet

The dragons diet consists of meat and riches. When a dragon eats a gem they seemingly digest it faster gaining energy back faster then simply eating meat. When a dragon eats meat however they don't gain energy faster but they gain more of it. It seems that gems act as sugar towards a dragon, While meat acts like a ponies hay.

Chapter 2: Behavior.

The dragon behavior seems to consist of endless greed. A dragon will stop to no end to gain more and more riches for their den. Not only to consume but only to have in their possession. Also it seems although-

Before the knight could continue twilight had trotted down the stairs looking at the knight in shock

"W-wait your r-reading? W-willingly?" Asked Twilight slightly stuttering her words.

"Yes well im no scholar but it seems although you 'locked' the door and windows," Said the knight pointing to the door and window that was enchanted shut.

"Oh yes well I didn't want to scare anypony by letting you roam around all...freely."

By this the knight had stood before twilight easily towering over her Even though twilight couldn't see it; Davion was looking at her menancingly.

"You are afraid of me?"

"W-well, y-yes. I mean you are a f-full grown d-dragon."

"I see. I understand."

"You do?"

"Yes. Back at my home even my allies are afraid of my power. For you see the dragon that sleeps with in me is an ancient one. A dragon of supreme power and knowledge."

"Oh... Im sorry to hear that. Back in your home I heard there was a thing called war. What is war?"

At this statement the knight eyes widened in sheer surprise.

"You have no war?"

"No. Whatever it is no we have none of it apparently."

"Well war is when two sides have different opinions over a matter. And eventually this little argument grows to a point where both sides decide to try and destroy the other side so their opinion seems superior. Imagine this. Lets say your country-"

"Equestria." Said Twilight correcting the Knight

"Equestria didn't agree with what another nation is doing. Eventually their disagreement leads them leading soldiers to kill the other nations soldiers. To say the least War is messy."

At this notion twilight was appalled to say the least. Which led to her vomiting up any contents in her stomach she had. Which wasn't a lot.

"Is that Ketchup?"

"Y-yes... I had a hayburger. Y-yesterday"

"Whats this Burger of Hay?"

"Its a round p-patty that's m-made of h-hay"

"Sounds appaling"

"N-no theyre actually pretty good. E-especially with extra c-cheese"

After emptying her stomach of all its contents Twilight finally wiped her mouth and looked back at The Knight

"S-so you hungry?" Asked a visibly shaking Twilight

"Yes I am. Have any Meat?"

"N-no but I have gems" Twilight said chuckling nervously

She then walked to the kitchen grabbed a large ceramic bowl which seemed to contain a large assortment of Gems. From Red going through the whole color spectrum to violet

"I read in that book I might be able to eat theses. Lets find out"

The Knight grabbed a small orange gem and slowly bit into it. It squished easily in his mouth and tasted.... Sweet, Almost like candy in a way. Tasting his first gem the knight quickly took more and started devouring them accidentally eating the bowl with it. Which actually tasted like white chocolate. Kids don't eat your ceramic bowls.

Chuckling nervously Twilight finally had the strength to say
" Wow.... Even spike doesn't do that.... Well I suppose its the first time you had eaten a gem huh? You're like a kid who just ate his first candy"

The Knight just stared at his hands. Blankly. Until he finally said a few words

"Self control.... Damn it! I cant believe I actually did that!"

In a fit of rage The Knight grabbed the chair seated next him and slammed it against the floor breaking both the part of the floor and the chair into pieces.

Twilight wide eyed simply had no words to say. She just stood waiting for The Knight to try and break HER. But that never happened. To Twilight surprise The Knight simply sat down on the floor and started to simply try and relax. Which worked.

"Sorry for my outburst. I hope you don't think less of me."

"N-no. Of course not. Everypony has gone through something like this. Probably not this extreme but sometimes somepony loses self control for something they love. It happens"

"Your words have encouraged me. Thank you. Truly. Now may we leave this tree? I wish to explore."

Twilight smiled and beamed at the knight

"Sure. Lets go to the boutique first, to get you some more casual attire"

"I LIKE MY ARMOR"

Twilight nodded furiously

"Just in case you know?"

With this twilight unlocked the doors and windows and led The Knight out. Out to Ponyville.
