Equestira's First flame

First flame

Chapter 2

Drake looked around finding himself surprised at the building he was now in what looked like a library in a tree. He knew of stranger complexes and have been in them even was in a painted world but not a tree that was a library and a house all at the same time. “Wow, this is impressive what the trick to making this place was,” he asked looking at the girls that looked back at him twilight getting ready to explain but everyone looked at her. “Just don’t, I don’t really care I was just surprised to see someone made a tree into a library.”

“Well… ok um, the bathroom is up and to the left.” Twilight stated pointing up the only set of stairs to the left of the room.

Drake nodded and went up the stairs, entering the bathroom he looked around the room at how clean it was inside and shrugged then started to take off his armor starting with his helmet and chest plate having left his sword and shield downstairs. He stopped and looked at the door and gave a strange look at the door handle. “Your bad at spying on people who ever you are I heard your footsteps.” As soon as he said that he heard the person behind the door run away from it and went back downstairs he then toke of his leggings and got in the tube and turned the water on using the right handle feeling the water come down on his head he stepped back and looked up seeing a stream of water coming from a nozzle attached to the wall he then shrugged his shoulders and started to rub what looked like a bar of soap on his body washing off the caked on grime and dried blood.

The girls looked around at each other. “Well, I’ll send a message to Princess Celestia.” Twilight walked over to her desk and started writing a letter.

“Ok well, I’m going to go take a peak on him,” Rainbow said and started to walk over to the stairs.

“WHAT, rainbow ya can’t be serious about that?” Applejack yelled at her friend.

“What, you can’t say you’re not interested in how big his muscles are,” Rainbow said raising an eyebrow at her friend making Applejack blush before Rainbow ran upstairs then came back downstairs soon after.

“Why did you come down so soon didn’t get a good view through the door,” Applejack asked looking at her friend.

“No I got a look but only for a second before I was busted, he apparently heard my hoofsteps through the door so I came back,” Rainbow said looking away from her friends.

“Well girls I sent my letter to Princess Celestia about our guest now she said she will be here soon.” Twilight started walking back over to her friends from her desk in the main room. “So rainbow how does he look under all that armor he was wearing?” she asked looking at Rainbowdash.

“Well, he doesn’t look as strong as he seems, in fact, it seems as if his armor and weapon might be enchanted to be light to him,” Rainbow said shrugging her shoulders sounding disappointed

“Or he might just be smart enough to not look the part rainbow after all don’t judge a book by its cover he may be stronger then he looks,” Twilight said smiling at her friend.

“Yes, that is most certainly true my dear student.” Princess Celestia said walking into the house with her guards close behind. “Speaking of such where is he?”

“Hey, Twilight thanks for letting me use your bath-… who are these people?” He asked as he looked over at his sword and shield leaning against a desk slowly inching his way closer to the desk.

“Please calm down I’m here to talk I’m Princess Celestia and I’d like to talk to you if you’d please sit with me so we can talk for a moment I have some questions for you.” She smiled calmly at the strange figure that had just entered the room from upstairs.

“Forgive me if I’m not the calm princess but I’d rather not have armed guards with swords and spears around me when I’m talking with anyone when I don’t have my weapons.” He looked at this new woman as he reaching his hand slowly for his sword and shield a guard stepping closer before being stopped by the princess.

“As you wish I understand your concern I’ll allow you to have them on you well we talk if you must have them in order to be calm,” Celestia said well waving a hand to point at a table before she walked over and sat down taking a seat before being joined at the table by Twilight and her friends.

Drake sat down across from Celestia. “Before you ask my name is Drake. Princess and now that you know my name, let me say this some questions I may outright refuse to answer for personal reasons so ask away.”

“Ok well, it’s a pleasure to meet you drake.” Celestia smiled and looked him over noticing something on his neck a pendant but a strange looking one. “Where did you come from?”

“I came from Lordran.” He stated as if he had known what she was going to ask.

“What kind of land was it?” Celestia asked looking at the man.

Drake sighed deeply and looks at them all. “For the land, I come from it is a darker land than here for every person outside there are 10 who would seek harm on any of you or me in my world you must be strong to survive and stronger still to make a difference.”

Celestia nodded listening and looked at him. “That sounds awful I must say for every one you meet to want to hurt you but I must ask what about friends?”

“Friends are hard to find where I come from since almost everyone has an angle to work to get what they want,” Drake said looking down at the table and then back at them looking at each of the girls then sighed. “However when you do find some friends every one of them will fight at your side against all things they would even face death at your side if you ask.”

“I see tell us more about you, yourself,” Celestia asked looking back at him her eye moving to the pendant.

“You keep looking at my pendent princess” he takes off the pendant and throws it over to her so she can take a better look at it. “There’s nothing special about it no magic or miracle just memory it gives off a feeling of nostalgia doesn’t it?”

The princess nods and smiles sliding it back to him. “Yes it does so what can you tell us about you.”

“Well, all right princess I can do that well from what I can remember, I woke up in an undead asylum fought my way out after someone named Oscar, let me out of the cell I was in, killed the asylum demon then was carried by a giant crow to Lordran. Any way to make a long story short I fought and killed really strong demons, undead knights, some giant guards, the old lords of the land that had abandoned there people and then sacrificed myself to the first flame in order to help the people locked in the cycle of death and rebirth, so yeah that’s my whole journey to this point take a few months.
