Tempest

I groaned and pushed myself to my feet. That battle had taken everything I had out of me, and the added teleportation at the end had given me a rather irritating migrane. I looked around me quickly. I would need food. I heard that there were relatives of the eeline called swerpentin, around twelve times the size. A delicacy among draconic beings, best eaten alive. I had some swerpentin meat once, Strong Red had shared it with me and my brothers. My stomach rumbled, and I heard a high pitched scream.

I turned around and looked at the source. Two fillies, barely the size of my cla-

Wait. I looked around me. I now towered over the trees. I was far, far bigger. Had I got a growth spurt or something? Or something, likely, as growth this fast was unheard of.

I looked at the fillies again. I tilted my head down and looked them in the eye.

"Who are you?" I asked. My voice sounded deeper, more mature. (1)

"P-Please don't eat us!" The smaller of the two said.

"Eat you?" I asked, confused. Why in the name of Bellum would I want to eat them?

"Why would I want to eat you?"

"Your a dragon!" The larger one said, partially in awe, partially in fear, partially in interest.

"Drakon." I corrected. It was easy to make the mistake, the only difference was that drakons had multiple horns. Well, visually at least.

"Dra...kon?" She sounded out. "And...your not going to eat us?" I shook my head, no.

"Now, who are you two?" I asked. My eyes widened in realization after I just said that. These were the fillies that I had rescued from Arbmos, the Alicorn fillies! I noted the wings and horns on both of them.

"I'm Celestia, and this is Lu-" Celestia began, but was interrupted by-

"I'm Loona!" Luna, she probably meant.

"Alright." Wait, I just realized something - Starswirl never mentioned how he would know when I rescued them. Fuck! That was a major oversight.

"A friend of mine was coming to pick you up, but he won't be able to, for the moment. Yet I need to keep you safe..." My horns lit up with arcane energies. I levitated them onto my back, in my riders crook (2) and left them there.

"Your stuck with me for a little while, I guess." I sighed. I magically collected some apples and dropped them onto there.

"Eat them when your hungry. Actually, eat them now. I need to get food..." I said. I levitated them off my crook, and searched the area with magic. I should be able to detect any swerpentin with a simple spell. The spell detected a great cavern underneath a nearby lake, filled with swerpentin. Hmm. They were rather large, about the size of trees. Would I be-

Oh. Forgot that I was larger. I grabbed my journal from...Wait. Where did I grab them from?

I looked back, but saw no clue as to where I had stored the journal. Odd, and somewhat headhurting.

"Agh, that makes my head hurt..." I grumbled. I used my telekinesis, reaching through the barriers of rock in the lake, into the swerpentin lair. Four swerpentins burst out of the lake, as I smashed them through the roof of their cavern. Screaming and bloodied, thrashing and writhing, the swerpentin's attacked. I let out a stream of fire, cooking them alive. I then ate them quickly. Mmm, crispy. I grabbed another one, live, and gulped it down. The struggling made it all the more tasty.

I turned around and saw Loona hiding behind Celestia, who was standing tall, looking at me fearfully.

"I have to eat meat. I cant survive on apples." I said. Celestia didn't reply.

"Hmm...Wait a minute." I would need a "lair" of sorts, one that I could use to practice my magic. More like a laboratory...A home base. I could fit in the cavern that the swerpentins had made, and it was rather roomy. Plus, came with a supply of water and food. It was also getting dark, and would be night in a few hours.

"Stay here." A large quantity of apples dropped onto the ground. I dropped down into the cave, and looked around. The main room was large, and had multiple corridors that no doubt lead into rooms and other corridors. I smiled.

"I can work with this."

Within a few hours, I had removed all stalagmites and stalactites, smoothed out the entire cavern (well, the corridors and the main room,) and use some stone to create small furniture, larger furniture, and a holding tank of sorts for any water. I had also created a large  slab of stone that I could sleep on, and using precision telekinesis created a leafy "bed" for the fillies. I levitated them in, and set them on there.

"Alright. Go to sleep." I said, yawning. "We'll...live here for now." I yawned. I don't think that I would need to visit every species for magical knowledge, all I would have to do is improve my understanding and skill of/with magic.

"Mr Dragon, what's your name?" I heard Loona ask.

"Yeah, you didn't tell us yours, did you?" Celestia stated.

"My name...My name is Tempest." I said.

"Tem...pest..." Loona said. She closed her eyes with that, and dozed off to sleep rather quickly. Celestia then followed suite, and I closed my eyes, going into a dreamless sleep.

I was awoken to the sound of screaming. I bolted awake, and was greeted by a swerpentin slithering through one of the corridors. Luna and Celestia were screaming as it came closer, hundreds of eeline children slithering around it. They were about the size of Celestia, but were in such large quantities...

I grabbed the children with magic and levitated them onto my "bed." I stood in front of the eelines and the swerpentin.

Jagged rocks from the top of the corridor suddenly jutted out, encased in a dark purple glow. I didn't have any rage fro the swerpentin, so I couldn't fuel it with my rage. I focused, and let loose a powerful tier 2 elemental fire spell. This one was of my own tinkering, that I had discovered while smoothing the cavern with fire. It was similar to my plasma beam, but 4 times at powerful.

The swerpentin thrashed about, but that only served to further it's wounds as the jagged rocks continued to pin it to the ground. The plasma spell hit the swerpentin, and the eelines. The eelines were ground to dust, while the swerpentin simply died, going limp. I retracted the rocks and grabbed the swerpentin by the tail, swallowing it hole. I would need to clear out the entire cavern...

"Go back to bed." I said, but was greeted with no response. I turned around, and saw an already sleeping Loona and Celestia. I looked through the cavern entrance. It was dark. Yet I was still completely awake...Time to get to work.

At the end of the day, I had finished smoothing out the cavern, removing any and all stalagmites/stalactites that I came across. I had found the source of the swerpentin and eelines, and turned into a prison of sorts for the swerpentin/eeline. I had also used my magic to engrave a map of the cavern into the stone walls of the main room.

I quickly went back to the main room, and went back to bed the second I got in there. The day was exhausting, and not that productive in terms in gaining more magic power. Hopefully tommorow, I would be able to accomplish more.

I closed my eyes, and dozed off into sleep.

I was woken by the sound of Loona groaning.

"I'm hun-gryyyyyyy!" Loona groaned. Celestia sighed.

"We can't get any food until Tempest wakes up..." Celestia murmured.

"You woke me up." I said, yawning. I rose to my feet and stretched out my back. My horns lit up with arcane energies, and some grass and apples were brought down from the topside.

"I don't like it here, it's too dark..." I tilted my head. Dark? It was bright thou-

Oh. I had forgotten that drakons were more used to dark areas then ponies. Hmm...

I opened up the Tempest Ultramagica, which was filled with blank pages for some odd reason. I had been using them for any of my own creations. I summoned a bit of elemental fire, and used telekinesis to mold it into a spherical shape. I moved it into the wall, and tried to keep it running. I let go of my spell, and it fizzled out. I knew that would happen. Now, how to make it run indefinitely, was the question. Hmm...

I could make it draw ether from the air, but that could be dangerous. Grr, this is making me annoyed. I summoned the flame once more, and looked at it. Studied it. I looked through some notes that I had scribbled in the Tempest Ultramagica, and noticed that one mentioned something about a magelight. A magelight was practically a light that needed only an ounce of magical energy every day. Now, what was the kral formation?

It was simple, by the looks of it. I quickly formed the necessary krals, and began to set magelights all over my cavern. I groaned and collapsed in the main room. I was exhausted, more mentally then physically. After bringing down some grass, some more apples, and some other plants for Luna and Celestia to eat, I closed my eyes...And slept.

Discord

Discord stood over his master's corpse. Emperor Blarg lay stricken down, his blood on Discord's paws. His guards lay slumped around him. He smiled, chaotic energy flickering around him. He opened his mouth, and devoured the souls of Blarg and his guardians.

He was more powerful, then ever before. Accord could not match his might, and Tempest was not even an inconvenience. Why ever the First desired him alive was unbeknownst to him, nor did he care much. He was a true Titan now, more powerful then any draconequi. He flew outside of Castle Chaos, located wherever, whenever. The draconequi looked at him fearfully, and saw that he was their god - Their master. He stood tall above them.

"Delicious..." He whispered. Their souls were devoured in yet an instant, thousands of infants and millions of draconequi dying in an instant, all over the planet. Power beyond that of any flowed throughout him. The draconequi race was extinct. Discord was the last, and the most powerful.

Yet, with all his power, he never noticed the dark god feasting on his power, waiting to return.

*: Sudden exposure to a large quantity of magic produced from...somewhere, accelerated his growth greatly. He's currently growing at x2.7 times the rate of a regular drakon.

1: Think Odahviing from Skyrim.

2: The riders crook is a little indent at the base of the neck, where scales are flatter and blunt, smooth and softer. It is the most vulnerable part of a drakon, save their eyes, and was often protected by saddles, used by the ancient drakon-riders of old.

Note: Physically of the trio (Loona, 'Tia, Tempest,) Tia is the oldest, Loona is the second oldest, and Tempest is the youngest. Tia is 12, Loona is 7, and Tempest is 3. However, Drakons age differently from other species. The more powerful they are, the more mature they are. Of all the rulers, Bellum was the youngest, yet mentally the third oldest, around 100,000 years old mentally, yet a mere 10,000 physically.

Note x2: An eeline would be around 15 feet tall, 7 wide. Tempest is now 97 feet tall, 28 wide. A swerpentin is 14 wide, 25 tall. Damn, Tempest got a helluva growth spurt. (*)
