"Do you think this is a good idea, some of the parents might not be happy if they hear that you want to brought Bite to the kids." Fluttershy ask Spirit as they ate.

"I am not hundred percent sure but I am here now for more than a week and I only research and didn't do anything to bring the ponies to understand and second I already sing in for the school visited today!" While he said this while threw a magic plant to Bite, who jump and caught it with his mouth.

"Well if you say so, but be careful!"

"It will went out well! And remember, Twilight will be right after me so if anything went wrong she will be in there nearby."

They ate the rest in silence and after and that Spirit went back to his researches until Fluttershy interrupt him. "When was your visit at school you said?"

Spirit didn't look up from the book he was reading at this moment. "It was this afternoon I have much time left before we must go!"

"Um, no it's afternoon already. "

"Yes yes... WAIT! WHAT? BITE COME WE HAVE TO GO. BYE FLUTTERSHY! THANK YOU!" With that he ran off not hearing Fluttershy.

"No problem. See you I think."

After some minuets Bite and Spirit waited in the floor of the school for Cheerilee to let them in.

"So Bite, this is our first step to bring the ponies to understand other creatures! So show your best side Bite!"

Bite jumps in a circle and barked happily. 'Or just pretend to cute. That will works too I think.'
Before Spirit could say anything the door opened and Cheerilee greeted him. "Ah there you are Mr. Wood you can come now."

He took a deep breath. "Ok then let's make a good impression!" So Spirit walked behind Cheerilee into the class.

"Listened class, here is the next one who has signed up! Everypony say hello to Mr. Wood "

"HELLO MR. WOOD!"

"Alright class listened to what Mr. Wood has say. " She turned to Spirit. "I will go and sit down in the back." Cheerilee walks to the corner of the room and sat down.

As she left the room Spirit started.

"Well, hello everypony. Nice to see you all. I am here for the visit day, what you should probably know since I am not the first. ... so first of all I have a question who of you don't know where I come from and why I am here in Ponyville?" He watched as some of them raised their hoofs.

"Well ok the short version is I am from very far away land and I am here to help ponies understand other creatures!"

They all looked at him but nopony said anything so he continued. "I also brought my pet with me maybe he helps to understand. Bite come in now!"

With that Bite walked in and as Spirit heard some of the foals whimper a little. 'Hm, not really a good start.'

"So you see he does not look like a normal animal but he is as normal as all other animals and that's why I am here." Waited for response but it didn't came so he decided to change the topic. "So who want to pet Bite?"

He waited to let his words sink in. Then first the three hooves rose up, exactly how Spirit expect, were Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. But didn't want them to be the first because the most know that they already met him so he waited. Suddenly another hoof slowly rose up. "You there, come here to me and Bite."

The foal stood up and walked over to Bite slowly but stopped a little before him. 'He seems a little unsure about this. What should I do?'

He tried to calm the foal. "No need to fear he won't hurt you. And also he is only a cub." They all looked at him in disbelieve. They looked to Bite who was almost twice big as the foals in front of them. 'I don't think they believe me.'

Spirit pushed the foal a little in Bites direction, who first looked to him and then tuned to Bite and slowly walked in his direction and held his hoof out, Bite on his side held his head down so that the foal can patted him on his head. After some time both of them relaxed more,Bite laid down and the foal started to pet his back.

Spirit smiled as the foal petted Bite now with more enthusiastic. "Hwo want's to be the next?"

He turned his head back to the class were now the most hooves in the class are raised. He laugh a bit. "Well I think you can come all now and pet Bite but not all at once! Four at once is the maximum we don't want to make him uncomfortable, right?"

As he finished his sentence the foals ran towards Bite all wanted to pet him, Spirit through tried don't to let Bite out of view. He trust Bite but he is still twice big as the foals so he could hurt one of them unintentional.

After a while they all had their time to pet Bite so sat in a circle and Spirit spoke again. "So now that you all have some time with Bite do you have any questions?"

"What does he eat?"

"That's simple, he eat a special blossoms what give him the magic he needed to hold together, actually I brought some of them with me does one of you wants to feed him?" Again nearly everypony raised their hooves and Spirit pike randomly one of them. "So are there any other question? They don't have to be about Bite!"

"Where did Timberwolves come from?"

"That's a good question I must say I don't know exactly where they come from but where I lived there was a old story about that, do you want to hear it?"

"Yes please." They said but Spirit could swear he heard a "please not" in the group. He ignored it because never the less the most wanted to hear it.

"Ok if you want so but I should mention it is not a really happy story."

"It was long ago in a land far away, near the crystal empire. There was a pony with a black heart who makes fun of torturing innocent creatures, he was a dark one or you would call it a dark mage. One day this pony wanted to make some experiments with a group of wolves their weren't a very ... harmless experiment. As he tested on the wolves, some magicians found him and discovered that he was a dark mage. They wanted to rescue these wolves and take him to account for his misdeeds. But before they could get him he killed the wolves and flee. The mages saw it as there task to restore the balance of the nature..."

He was interrupted by one of the foals. "How can be two wolves important for the balance of the nature?"

Spirit thought about this for a moment. "Well that is quiet complicated but let try me to explain. See the mages saw a vision of these wolves who meant to set up a new pack in new places but as I told there all were killed by the follower of the dark path so many generations of wolves would be never born."

Spirit waited for some questions as they didn't came he continued his story."Where was I? Ah right the mages! They wanted to make a very rare and powerful spell. The problem was this spell works only on two conditions the first was they had to give up an magical artifact: The Wooden Heart. And the second condition was that they all had to gave up their lives for it but they accepted both conditions. With that spell they try to resurrect the wolves and it worked but in a different way they thought. The wolves were resurrected but now they were made out of wood instead of flesh. But as I said the mages had to gave up they lives for the wolves so nopony was there who could correct that mistake. So there were now some wolves made of wood who went to fulfill their purpose. They split up and went in different directions where they build up their new packs. Some of them even where able to get to the zebra lands!"

"But how could they get their it is on the other side of the ocean!"

Spirit nodded. "I asked that question too. I was told that somepony might brought them over per ship. I don't know if it is true but what I know is that two of the Timberwolves stayed in equestria and guess where they went!"

"In da Everfree Forest right?"

Spirit nodded to Apple Bloom. "Yes you are right, they went to that forest near this village but at this time it was a normal forest. So that was the end of the story do you want to ask something?"

He looked at them but no them raised their hooves or said something. "Well if you don't have any question. I would said you can take a break outside and play with Bite, I think?" He looked to Cheerilee who slowly nodded and so he turned to Bite and nodded.

Bite immediately jump on his feeds and runs out followed by the foals. As they left Cheerilee walks to him and they turned to the window to watch over the foals.

"So how do you think how I made myself with them?"

"I think you did quite well there but you should had prepared yourself a little more!"

Spirit laugh weakly and rubbed his blackhead. "Well I wanted to prepare myself but I ... well forget the time." Cheerilee laugh a bit.

"But I must say you did a great job bringing these foals listened to your story."

"Thank you. I think I grab something to drink do you want something too?"

Bite ran out followed by foals as they were outside they played with him. They mostly played catch or throw things and Bite bring it back. As Bite wanted to bring back a stick that Apple Bloom throw but there were two Foals blocking his way. He wanted to walk around them but they keep blocking his way. He didn't knew what they wanted so he sat down and laid the stick before them.

"BITE WHERE ARE YOU?" Bite turned his head to the left to see the three he already know. The two ponies in front of him walks over to them and they started talking Bite didn't catch much only some words "... blank..." "... stupid..." "...monster.." "... let alone.." They began to argue and as Bite saw that the two ponies shouted at his friends Bite jumped between them and growled. He continued growling at them until he heard a voice.

"What is going on here?"

Spirit looked up from his drink and in the direction of a group of fouls with Bite in the middle. "Cheerilee do you know what they are doing?"

"It seems they argue we should go between them!" Spirit nodded so they both walked to them as they walked he saw that Bite had walked between the groups on the one side stood the cutie mark crusaders on the other side stood two filly that Spirit didn't recognized. 'Bite please don't do something stupid!'

"What is going on here?"

"This monster wanted to attack us for no reason!" Spoke the filly with the tiara. 'I think her name was Diamond Tiara. Didn't Apple Bloom mention her once yesterday?'

Cheerilee opened her mouth but was interrupted by Scootaloo. "That's not true he only wanted to help us!"

"Stop! Spirit you talk with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo since you know them, I will talk to the other two! Ask them what happened tell me later then we will diced what to do!"

Spirit nodded and he walked over to the crusaders and Bite and Cheerilee went to talk with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Spirit turned his head to them. "So what happened there and I don't want to hear excuses, tell me the truth."

So they told him what happen.

As they came to the part where Bite growled at the other fillies Spirit looked at Bite, who lowered his head know that he had done something wrong.

As they finished Spirit shook his head at them. "Why did you do this? I know you wanted to help Bite but you could just get him and walk away or tell me earlier about this!"

"We know!"

"And Bite, you should know better, we want them to understand Timberwolves not fear them or anything like that!" All four of them lowered their heads.

"I will say Cheerilee what happens I try that you won't get punished or something. Now to you Bite, I will think of something when we're back home."

"OK class back to the room!" Cheerilee standing in the door counting the foals.

As they were all in the room again the foals sat down and Spirit, Bite and Cheerilee stood in front of them. Spirit walks one step and begun. "I and Bite say goodbye now, I hope you enjoin the day and maybe understand Timberwolves a bit more. So goodbye. And thank you Cheerilee!" With that they walked out off the room. 'That went better than I expected. This all could end much worse!'

As they were outside the room he saw somepony sitting on a chair in the floor. 'That must be the next one, I thought that would be Twilight!'

"Hey, you must be the next ... oh it´s you Fallen, long time not seen!"

"Yes." He raised an eyebrow at the Timberwolf-cub beside Spirit. "Interesting pet."

Spirit raised an eyebrow. "Thank you, I think. What are you doing here I thought Twilight would come after me."

"She is in Canterlot at an meeting with royals of other lands and I replace her."

"Ok then I wish you luck with them. I must go now." He didn't expected an goodbye so he walked away. After leaving the building he turned his head while walking.

"Something is strange about him." In response he sensed very much suspicion. "Yeah I hope he won't do anything to the foals but I don't think we need to worry. I mean Cheerilee is there and Twilight send him so he can't be that bad!" 'I hope!'

So they both walked back to their tent more or less confident about Fallen in front of foals.
