The translator may change words. One time i expiremented, i had "way" in it, and the translation of the dovahzul word translated to "wind" i made sure it did not do any MAJOR changes from the original meaning, or that it stayed closed since some smaller words are removed.

Wow, it has actually been a month…AND IT HAS BEEN SO BORING! Why cant something happen! The only memorable thing that’s happened was…a few dreams…I have had some dreams of all the girls…except Pinkie so far…me and her have gotten to be like brother and sister this past month though. And I have learned how she does some of her things I believe. Pinkie isn’t an earth pony at all…she has to be a unicorn that had a deformity that her horn grew INSIDE her skull…think about it.

Limitless energy, because the horn that is impaling her brain is constantly sending magic to give her the incredible energy she lets off, eats so much that a skinny person would become a sumo wrestler in four days or less…OR YOUR BITS BACK! Heh heh…but she stays skinny…the magic burns it out too fast….AND the way she just appears…or comes out of stuff too small for her to EVER be in, and could NEVER have gotten into…pinkie is a unicorn with a birth defect…I mean…that makes sense…right?

Oh, right, the dreams…well, I have dreamt of the other five girls…all of which involved cuddling, a date scenery…and I never have control of myself until the moment before they kiss me, which I wake up from the kiss every time. I don’t understand why I am having these dreams, I mean; I shut my heart away so I would NEVER feel like this again. Every girlfriend I have ever had betrayed me…and they say GUYS are heartless?! That is complete B.S. to me. Why? Seven girlfriends…all at different times of course!!! But…one of them I asked for a second chance cause they were sorry…but damn myself, I gave her another chance.

Every…damn…time…not even one day…NOT ONE FUCKING DAY BEFORE THEY ARE IN ANOTHER GUYS ARMS BEHIND MY BACK! I always catch on though…I may not have had many friends, but I know those that will be like an info broker for me…and when they come to me specifically, I know they have details I need. Greedy flankholes, but every three to ten dollar charge was worth it…except one…idiot sold me info about a test that already passed, but he was a town over, so of course he gets the state test a week after my school did…

So why am I having dreams like this? Why does ignoring them hurt so much, when I shut my heart away years ago?! But it does…and I can’t stand it…maybe I just need to get away for a while…forget these feelings. So I had Spike send a letter to Celestia, as I was packing some stuff up. I had my guitar prepared, and I had packed some bird seed for Cynder, since, if I DID go to the castle, I would bring Cynder to meet Celestia, and maybe have our phoenixes meet. Since so few are around, I thought it would be nice for Cynder to meet another phoenix at least once.

I also packed my little strongbox, which seemed to interdimensionally hold anything that can fit inside it. I have 6 gems in it that I found in the center of my room one day, and each one I get a feeling of each of the girls from, for some reason…color maybe? Who knows, but yeah, I had a purple gem, a yellow gem, a white gem, a cyan gem, a pink gem, and an orange gem. After I set them inside though, a giant black gem adorned the shield right above the keyhole.

It easily came off the strongbox, and there was no socket on the strongbox. It was so weird, but when the game was on the shield above the keyhole, it never slid off. Even upside down, the gem stayed, like it was magnetized to the spot. Sometimes, I can swear a red flame is inside the gem when it’s in my peripheral vision, but when I look over, the red flame seems to disappear or stop glowing.

I heard a pop, and a rolled up paper landed on my bed. Celestia must have finally got my letter. I opened the letter to see that Celestia agreed to let me come and stay at the castle for a while. It was a relief to know I wouldn’t have to plan to go elsewhere…all the time I went from here to Canterlot, during my flight training with Dash made the route very memorable. Looking over the letter once more I noticed it said I could come to the castle tomorrow.

I finished putting things in the bags, and went downstairs, and decided on going to find somepony to hang out with, and might as well let the girls know about my trip, so I decided to head to Dash’s house. Should be easy to notice, from her description.

I certainly found it easy enough, especially since her home was the only one that had a waterfall…made of rainbows. Hmm…she said it was an enchantment on cloud vapors, so it doesn’t fall to the ground, so I may get a cloud house, and do the same but with a lava look…maybe. Gotta look into some things first.

I was just about to knock until something fell onto my back. I looked back to see cyan saddlebags with Dash’s cutie mark on them now on my back, full of supplies. Mainly food and drinks. I looked up as I heard a familiar cocky voice. “Heh, you came at a perfect time Blaze! Twilight set up a meeting for us, and told me to look for you, since you would probably be sleeping on a cloud!”

A meeting? For what? I looked at her saddlebags again. “A meeting for what? I just left her library not too long ago, and I’m sure she would have seen me in flight…” I facehoofed. “Unless she was neck deep in a note from Celestia again…the last time she did that, I had to pay for some fruits she had smashed that fell off a stand! It was funny when she tried to understand why her hoof was sticky though.” Dash started laughing.

A few minutes later we were flying towards the library. When we got there and landed, the others were outside the library talking about a plan, but my focus was on a mass of black smoke coming from a mountain. I heard Twilight mention a dragon in a cave on the very same mountain I was looking at, that was sleeping, and letting out the smoke.

I could see Fluttershy looking worried, so I walked over and placed a wing over her back, and silently spoke to her hoping to calm her down. “It’ll be alright Fluttershy. I won’t let anything happen. Promise.”

I saw her smile a bit, but I could still tell she was scared. We started heading for the mountain talking a little bit. Rarity mentioned she had started on my suit for the Grand Galloping Gala, and should have the basic look drawn out within a few days.

A few days…I should tell them about my plans. But, this should come first. When we reached the base Dash and I tried to fly straight up, but AJ caught Dash by her tail, and I stopped to look back. As I was looking back I saw Fluttershy jump into a bush at the bottom. I wondered if she was ok.

I flew down, and poked my head into the bushes looking at her. “Are you alright Fluttershy? We need to start heading up the mountain to get the dragon to leave. And you have a way with other creatures. Besides, I thought you would be excited. You were excited and happy when meeting Spike, right?”She nodded and I could hear Dash’s voice saying to hurry up, as I looked at Fluttershy. She soon explained how she was excited when meeting Spike…because he wasn’t a big dragon. Now I understand. “It’ll be ok Fluttershy. I won’t let anything happen, we will get up there, and I will head in and fix everything. Alright?”

She looked at me smiling a bit, and nodded. We started to fly up, but then the dragon snored loudly, which I heard a small “eep” and looked at Fluttershy to see her wings fold up against her side tightly. I quickly swooped under her to catch her on my back, and she held on shaking. I started to fly up letting her stay on my back, as I followed the girls up.

We eventually got to a big flat area that had a path up. I landed and let Fluttershy off, feeling exhausted. I felt something press against my shoulder after a minute, so I looked over to see Twilight. “Come on Blaze, we need to get moving again so we can make it up there on time.” I nodded and started following them. We reached a small gap, and we all quickly jumped over it, except Fluttershy who got her forelegs and back legs caught between the two sides.

After some pushing from Dash, Fluttershy was now across and we were on our way again. Twilight warned about the area being susceptible to an avalanche. It didn’t take long, and unexpectedly, Fluttershy was the one who yelled out. When I looked up I saw boulders slightly crumbling pebbles and small stones down the slope.

I quickly raised my hoof to my mouth and called out to the girls. “GIRLS, MOVE, NOW!” we all started running down the path, and evading the large boulders. By the time it was over, I had my eyes closed, but I felt an odd pressure around my body, and I could hear Applejack ask if everypony was ok. I carefully moved my hooves to stand up, and I heard Rarity ask where I was.

By the time I was pushing up to stand, I heard the girls calling out for me; I stood up and looked over at them. “I'm alright, just…really covered in dirt, and rubble…” I shook myself and walked over to the new mound of dirt and rocks that blocked out path.

Me and Dash flew overhead, as the rest walked over the mound. I looked back at Fluttershy who was being really careful. I was about to tell her being too careful would make her trip up, but I saw she had slipped already. She slid into Rarity, then into Applejack. I quickly flew down and landed in front of them using my body as a cushion and brake for them.

The rest started heading up again, but I stayed back with Fluttershy. “You need to tell them…if you don’t they wont understand why you have been acting like this…if you don’t want to, that’s your choice. But they need to know...” she nodded.

At the cave entrance Twilight explained what everyone should be ready to do, and then Fluttershy explained how she was afraid of dragons. After she said she just couldn’t go in there, I walked over to twilight. “Twilight, let me go in first…alone…”

Twilight and the rest looked at me quickly. “Blaze, you can’t be suggesting for us to let you go in there…alone…”

I just smirked and looked at her. “I DO speak his language after all.” She nodded and I headed into the cave. I soon caught sight of a big red dragon sleeping on gold, and gems. I cleared my throat loudly, which made the dragon groan and opens his eyes slightly, to look at me. “Sahvol zey, unnamed dovah, nuz aal zu'u laan tol hi siiv vorey gul wah laag ko? Hin snoring fen krii pogaan waan hi dreh ni.”

The dragon quickly sat up and snarled at me before speaking. “nid mal malkey fen fun zey fos wah dreh. . . SURANMIIK ko dii tinvok! ”

I looked at the dragon and stomped my hoof, before staring intensely at him. “Nid trun, hi kent bo wah yun gul. Tir do equestria, uv hond nol naan feymahorun!”

The dragon lowered his head close to me, which made me take a step back. “No little pony will make such demands of me…” he blew a big puff of smoke as Twilight walked in which made us run out coughing.

I looked at Twilight as she was still coughing, so I started gently patting her back till she stopped. “Well…that didn’t work…”

I noticed Rarity go in, but after about two minutes she ran out and pouted laying over a rock, saying something about a diamond. Next Pinkie went in looking like a miniature part in a wrapped present box, and she came out with the balloons popped, and few tears in her ‘costume’, as well as a few components missing entirely. Right after that, Dash flew in, which I gave chase. She was sent off like a cannonball, out of the cave.

I looked at the dragon, but as soon as I was looking at him he had grabbed me with his claws. I struggled to get free, and I couldn’t focus as his grip tightened when he slammed the fist at the cave entrance. The tightened grip made my ribcage groan inside me, and my body felt like it was slowly being crushed. The dragon roared and let out a big mass of black smoke, and the girls were sent flying into a rock pretty hard.

I just looked up at the dragon, as his grip got tighter, which made it hard to speak but I yelled at the best with everything I had. “I'LL KRII HI, HI FIROK!” as soon as I finished I was raised up to his face quickly, and he snarled at me. I struggled more to get free, and my focus was on the girls, hoping they were ok. Because of that, I couldn’t use my flames, and I couldn’t use the shout like you can in Skyrim…yes I tried, during a training session in the Everfree, but no luck, no matter what I tried.

When I looked back from hearing Fluttershy’s voice, I saw…her stare…me and the dragon both just lowered our heads evenly with our shoulders. That stare of hers has some serious power behind it. After Fluttershy had made him whimper he let me go, which ended with me hitting the ground pretty hard and cough, then gasp, breathing quickly.

Once my breathing was under control, I looked at the dragon as it spoke to Fluttershy, looking sad, and regretful. “But, the rainbow one kicked me…and that red feathered one threatened to kill me…”

Fluttershy looked at me in shock. “I thought he had seriously hurt the others! Is it my fault for worrying, and wanting to protect my loved ones?!” I tensed up after I said that and looked at the girls, seeing they were ok. I cleared my throat and looked away, to hide my quickly burning face. “But…I am sorry about the threat…I may…MAY have over reacted, so I apologize…”

After a while me and the dragon were talking in his tongue, and I learned that humans were just legend among the Draconian culture. Maybe there was no information about legends, because of how it was just seen as myth and fairytales. Once the dragon left, me and the girls had started heading back to Ponyville.

Once we had gotten to the base where we started our climb, I heard Twilights voice. “What did you mean when you called us your loved ones?” that question made me tense up.

I didn’t even dare to look back, in concern of blushing once I looked at the, “just that…all of you mean a lot to me. I may have left what little family I was still in contact with, but they were still mainly selfish….so…being here for as long as I have, knowing all of you since…almost day one…I grew very close to all of you…” I looked down as I placed my hoof on my chest where my heart is. “I never felt an urge to protect like this…not even protect myself…so I always avoided fights…ran…I was a coward….but now…” I looked at the girls and smiled. “I have something I want to protect…to preserve until the end…and it’s because of all of you…” the girls looked at me in shock then smiled at me. “Oh…and I am going to be leaving for a few days…I leave tomorrow…”

I started walking for Ponyville again, and then looked back as they all had their mouths open staring at me. I was about to ask what but they then tackled me, and some were worried, some were sad, and Dash looked angry. They all asked things like ‘why was I leaving?’, ‘how long will I be gone?’, ‘why would I even NEED to leave?’ and Dash’s words to my news was: “why the buck are you leaving tomorrow?! Why leave in the first place, especially when…” she just stopped in mid sentence and looked away before saying ‘nevermind’.

A few hours after I had gotten up, and got as much dirt off me as I could, we were back in Ponyville. It was a relief to be back. Everyone decided to head home, except me and Dash. We decided to head to a restaurant so we could get something to eat. The decision was made by my stomach when it growled so loudly, a couple of mares a good distance away look over then walk off giggling.

At the restaurant, I saw a bunch of salad options, a few sandwiches, like a HB.L.T. Which I ordered, while Dash ordered a ‘multi-flower supreme’. While we were waiting on our order Dash started to ask me some questions. “So…why ARE you leaving?”

I facehoofed and sighed. “I just need to do something…I am not leaving for long, maybe two or three days.”

When I moved my hoof off my face, Dash was flying, and face-to-face with me. “Why won’t you explain why you are leaving? I want to know why…I NEED to know why…”

I looked at her and sighed. “ok…I just need to leave for a few days to understand some myself a bit more…I’m going up to Canterlot, the castle. Celestia said I could head there tomorrow…so I am.”

Dash landed in her seat and sighed smiling a bit. “Alright, I was worried one of us did something wrong, and you were mad.”

The food was brought to the table, and I looked at Dash after the waiter left. “Dash, if I was mad or anything to any of you girls I wouldn’t keep it secret.”

We ate, and talked. After we finished eating, I paid for both of our meals, Dash tried to say she could pay for her part, but I told her it was fine. When we left the restaurant the sun was setting, so we decided to head home. She flew off, after a quick hug and I headed for the library.

When I got there and up to my room, I saw Cynder on the make-shift perch, and Mimzy was in the chair curled up. I decided to follow their example, and climb into bed quickly falling asleep. I kept wondering if what I was feeling was just from being around them so much, or are these feelings genuine? If they are genuine, how could I choose between them? Tomorrow is the start of looking into my own heart I guess. I just hope it doesn’t end in pain like all my past experiences with these feelings…


Author's Note

OK, this may be the last chapter I use the Dovahzul in...except one Celestia learning Blaze understands it moment, but that will be short and simple...

and no Pinkie this time...she is kinda...tied up...:moustache:

well, i hope you readers still enjoy this, because the next few chapters will be Blazes personal adventure chapters. if i dont have enough words for the first, i will add the second into one chapter.

the dark tag will REALLY hit with this coming part, as well as some (hopefully) really good action scenes. next chapter(s) may take a while, so wish me luck, since it is getting harder to even WORK on a chapter. the past ones have been easy since it has been either from the episodes, or i had the whole thing known. like me actually dreaming up a chapter. my personal chapters will most likely include many references to my favorite shows, and/or games. so...until nex time! :scootangel:

UNTIL NEXT TIIIIIIME!!! :pinkiesmile:
