My world is shadow and light

A week later

Me and Ash have been walking for a week now. We both know that Dragonville should be coming into in a little bit. I look to see the beautiful dragon on shoulder and thinking to myself. 'I would never have gotten a giel like Ash or Lyra back on earth. I'm glad I came here.' I turn back towards the horizon to see a faint outline in the distance.

"Look Nox it's Dragonville!" I look to Ash to see her beautiful eyes filled with love looking at me. I lean down and kiss her for a good bit savoring the spicy taste of her mouth.

We soon make it to town and see mostly dragons with a bit of ponies here and there, but I saw something else that I've never seen before. I saw another anthro like person but they were mixed with what looked like hawks and lion. I lean down and ask Ash what they were, she surprised me with what she said.

"Oh them, they're Griffons. They come from the norther part of the world where there is mostly mountains." I look to see the 2 griffons gone. I survey the town to try and find a hotel or tavern, when I saw another human. I panicked a little when I saw him, and when I mean panicked, I ran across the street full speed and tackle him into an alley way before anybody can see him. As I pin him down I see a dragon like symbol on his shoulder that reminds me of a shadow rune the shadow knights use. My first thought was that he's a shadow knight. I soon realized that this was false when the rune slide up his shoulder and on to his face

After the rune got to his face I saw the rune peel itself of of the man. The rune transforms into a small normal looking dragon with black scales. I realize that this creature is a shadow beast that Kage some times had to look for back home. The kid fought to get me off of him only to freeze when he sees Ash walk up behind me.

"What are you doing here? Are you a shadow knight?" I grab his writs and hang him upside down 10 feet in the air. I look to find his shadow beast trying to free him.

"Do not fret young one I just want to know why you are on this world. I know you can not be a shadow knight for you have a shadow beast, so all I have to say now is. Who are both of you and how did you get here," I said starting to lower the boy to the ground.

"Well I'm Drew and this is-"

"My name is Artmus." I look over to the dragon with no surprise.

"Well that answers one question now on to the next one." I look back to see Ash leaning against the wall snaking on some gems we found while traveling.

"Well I was living a normal teenage life when out of nowhere Artmus shows up in my back yard hurt and scared, so I nursed her back to health. One day these guys in black robes show up on my door step asking to see her. At first I thought that they were her friends, but something was of about them. When I asked about their order they said they were an underground organization named the shadow knights. I knew that they were bad news so I told them that they couldn't see her, and then they got mad threatening me if I didn't show her to them. I told them to fuck off. One of the men pulled out a sword and stabbed me with it then everything went black. I woke up to find myself in my bed with Artmus right by my side telling me that as soon as the guys killed me that they searched the house looking for her, that she hide in the shadows of the tress outside. After they left she draged me up to my bed and bonded with me to heal me. Soon after that day more showed up, but this time they had a black box with them. They said that I'd seen to much and was going to be sent away, and thats when I find my self here."

I look at him with admiration on how he handled the situation. I get off of Drew and walk over to Ash kissing her on the cheek.

"So why didn't you warn me Artmus. It could have been a mugger."

"Why not it was funny to see you so surprised." The small black dragon started laughing at the last part. Ash and I walk back to the entrance of the alley. I glance back over my shoulder to see Drew still trying to get to his feet.

"So do you two have anywhere to sleep tonight or is this alley to comfy." I hear Ash chuckle beside me. I use my magic to produce some of this world currency after I had Ash explain the worth of each coin and what they looked like. I produce about 100 'bits' as Ash calls them. I hand 50 to Drew but he soon gives them back.

"One thing. Are you going to Ponyville by any chance?" Huh I had not thought about that. 'I really need to see Lyra again.'

"I think we will. Why, do you want to join us?" He nods

"Well then if we're going to leave tomorrow then we better get some shut eye." I said as I walk towards a tavern I spotted earlier . I look up to see that the tavern's name is 'The Prancing Pony'. I busted out laughing at the name. The others looked at me with confused faces.

"Never mind, it reminded me of something back on my world." I soon push the door open to see the whole tavern filled with drunkards and mercenaries. I walk up to the counter and ring the bell 3 times.

"All right I'm coming, I'm coming." The counter runner was a middle aged man with a light brown coat and had a tan mane.

"Yes I would like to purchase two rooms, both with a single bed." I look over to Ash and wink causing her to blush. The man then takes my shadow cash and gives me 2 keys.

"Would you like me to show you your rooms?"

"No thank you, but where may we find them?" He points down the hallway on our right.

"Your rooms are the last two doors on the right, have a nice night." With that he walks away as we walk towards are rooms. I enter my room to find that the bed I found was a queen sized bed and looked quite comfy. It was made out of old oak and has been worn down over the years of service. I fall into bed and pull the covers up to allow Ash to cuddle next to me. Soon she falls asleep and I start to think about the times we shared in the little time we have had together.

After about 5 hours after Ash and I got into bed I hear a big thump right next door. I pull out my blade and charge into the room to find Drew forcing down a light blue mare with a dark blue and white mane. I walk over to the and pick Drew off the mare and carry him out. Before she could call for help I put pressure on a nerve in her neck to make her pass out, I laid her in a chair in front of the counter with a note saying.

Sorry about this. She came on to my friend and tried to rape him. My most sincere apologies
