Who Is He?

Today is the first day of senior year at Canterlot High. The main six are beyond looking forward to where this year can lead. The past three years have been pretty eventful to say the least. Things ranging from the whole Sunset Shimmer who straight up tried to take over the world incident. That was something but Twilight and her friends stopped that. Then there was the Dazzlings. That was crazy, Twilight and her friends had to step up, again, to save the day. The thing is, that the two sides fought through a battle of the band competition. That was crazy beyond crazy too. So to say that the six wanted a calm year would be an understatement.

Applejack just pulled into her spot that she has always parked in the last two years. She stepped out wearing some short blue jean shorts, a red long sleeve flannel but with a nice par of sneakers not completing the complete stereotypical southern look with cowboy boots. She did though have her standard stencil hat on though. Arriving a half hour early to talk to her friends. “Hey Twi, Dash, Shy and Pinkie. Where’s Rarity?”

Dash just rolled her eyes and said, “Probably at home coming late like always on the first day of school. The whole gotta look your best. You don’t though, the teachers all know you along with all the students.” The four others just laughed once Dash finished her mini rant. They all new what she saying was true too. Rarity did tend to over dress a lot of the time. After they just talked and caught up from what happened this summer. Even though they are best friends they couldn't hang out much. Rainbow Dash was going to soccer camps at all the best places across the nation. Applejack couldn't leave her farm and Fluttershy had to work at at vet and animal shelter. Twilight was at a Starswirl Academy learning studying and learning everything she could absorb. Rarity was in Canterlot studying under the best fashion designers.

Finally with about 5 minutes before class started, Rarity showed up. Of coarse she was dressed very nice. She wore a very nice short dress that went a little longer than half way down her thighs. It was white and had nicely distributed amount of purple flowers through out it. It defiantly had a nice summery vibe. She then wore nice white flats. Finally her hair was what it always us but it looked nicer. Right as she was about to say hello to her friends, she was cut off by the sound of a new vehicle. As strong engine that wasn’t to loud but definitely loud enough to stop Rarity. None of the girls have heard or seen this vehicle in the parking lot before.

The girls knew they were getting a new student. Maybe this is him, they all thought. “Hey, Twi, is this the new student?” Rainbow Das ask.

“I think so. I tried to find information about him but there isn’t much out there. I mean I looked everywhere and there isn't anything out there.” Now if Twilight says there isn’t much, it is a big deal. When it comes to finding things, she is really good about it. So either the new student hasn’t done much or someone one is covering stuff. Applejack leaned towards the latter and for some reason wanted to learn more about this person.

The new student pulled in on an all matte black motorcycle. The motorcycle being a Ducati Diavel Carbon. On the side of the gas tank there was a emblem. It was a hollowed out red circle, in the inside there was the outline of a dragon. Then for the helmet he was wearing a matte black MX-9 Adventure Solid Helmet. The lens on the helmet was completely blacked out. There was no way anyone was going to be able to see his eyes or anything in the helmet. It looked modified but they couldn’t tell what the modifications were. On the left side of the helmet it had the emblem also on it.

For pants he was just wearing khaki cargo shorts and pair of Sombas. Then for a shirt it was just a simple plane white t-shirt. The shirt though was clearly of higher quality and not made from some plain normal t-shirt material. Over the shirt he had black jacket that was made out of a mesh like material. You could clearly see where the protective pads in the jacket were. There were two pads on his chest, all down his arm and back. Then there were a few on his stomach. The jacket looked like it was one step down from what they wore in the MotoGP. On the jacket, the same red logo appeared. This time it over his left chest and on both shoulders. The gloves looked insane, they were a all black version of the Handroid Hand Armour Gloves. The glove straight looked like something that could be in a science fiction movie as some super glove. The gloves looked like they were modified slightly.

Lastly he had a black back pack on. One of those one strap that goes across the body. It looked to be made out of the same material as the jacket but also had some leather put into it. The logo once again appeared on the front of the bag.

Seeing all of really made him look mysterious but also drew Applejack in. She was staring at him wondering what the emblem stands for. I mean it didn’t look like a logo for a company. “Twilight, do you know what that logo stands for?”

“No I don't Applejack. Sorry. I’ll look it up when I can in class and during lunch. I’ll let you know as soon as I do.”

“Sounds… good.” Applejack just couldn’t pull her eyes away from him. That was until he looked up and straight at her. Even though she couldn’t see his eyes, she knew they were staring straight at her. Immediately she looked away and even had a slight blush. ‘Ugh why do I have a slight blush? I’ve only just saw him and haven’t talked to him. I really haven’t even seen him since his head was covered.’ She wondered but also yelled at herself.

The bell rang all the girls headed in except for Applejack who stood there for a second to look back. When she did she saw that he was clearly staring at her and not all the other kids that were heading in. He still had his helmet on but this time he had his visor up enough so there eyes could meet each other. She had the same reaction as she a minute or two before. This time though she really felt like she needed to meet him. More than what she did when he had pulled in.

All day long she couldn’t stop thinking of him. It didn’t help that he was all of her classes but always sat in the back, behind her. Always sat behind her. Constantly Applejack was checking over her shoulder and would catch him looking at her. She was also constantly looking at her phone to see if Twilight had found anything. During lunch he sat on the other side of the cafeteria but she kept looking up from where she sat to look at him. Multiple times she caught him looking at her. When right as her class after lunch ended she got a text from Twilight.

[Twilight]: AJ, meet me in the library. Found stuff. Need to talk!

‘What could it be? She is making it sound like it’s something bad.’

[AJ]: Ok. Be there as soon as I get out. Is everything cool? The text makes it out almost that it isn’t.

[Twilight]: No it isn’t. That emblems stands for something alright. Ranging from a bloodline and a race.

Well sixth period came along and Applejack went straight to the library. At first she couldn’t find Twilight. She found her in the back of the library. “Hey Twilight what did you find?”

“Oh I found something. I figured it was an older emblem so I went digging and pulled this out.” It was a big, heavy book that was covered in dust. The fact that Twilight found this book, then found the answer in it, just bewildered Applejack. She nodded, signaling Twilight to continue. “According to this book, that emblem goes back a long, long time. The emblem is one that represents the strongest bloodlines of what I'm gonna tell you. It goes back to when a branch of humans apparently descended from dragons, making them part dragons. Apparently the race had a lot of characteristics of dragons. They would be very protective, imprint on one being and stay with that being for life. In cases giving their own life to save the others. Now for the physical traits, now the apparent traits depends on the bloodline of the being. The more traits the stronger the bloodline and more powerful. Now for the list; Wings (Appears as tattoos on the back that peal off and come to life.), strong skin that is resistant to most things (Primarily fire), no one could breath fire but in really rare cases some could cast fire with there hands. Lastly in the strongest of blood lines, they could actually morph parts of there body into the dragon counterpart. Oh yeah they also appear warmer than most humans, there internal temp runs at about 105 degrees. Applejack if you don’t know, if our body temperature was that high. We would die. Our organs will all fail.”

“Ok, yeah, your shitting me. He’s probably just some guy who that somehow stumbled on this logo and liked it. Then had the logo put on his things. Ugh you just waisted my time.”

“A person only can wear the logo if they are of a bloodline. There is cases where people have done what you said. Those people were killed for impersonating the race. Don’t believe me? When we get out today. Bump into him when he is putting his gloved on and tell me how hot they feel.”

“Fine but this is just for your amusement only. They’re gonna feel just fine and you’re gonna look ridiculous thinking this.” The end of the day came. All the kids rushed out to go home, while Applejack ran to this mysterious kids bike and waited. She would sit on it and wait but she knew how people can act if someone is sitting on their bike without asking. Finally the kid came out and for the first time she got a good look at his face. It was well defined with a nice strong jaw line. She could see the mussels in his next, that led to show that he does clearly work out. The guy had black hair but the tips became a dark maroon color, I mean in school like this any hair color was common. The thing that was a little strange is that his iris’s were red. I mean the kids here had a lot of different colored eyes but none had red. Going across his left eye, he had a scar that looked like it came from a fight. The facial structure showed that he was clearly asian. It seemed very mature, especially for his age. It seemed that he had been through a lot. Applejack now began to find him physically attractive.

Now to touch his hand to feel how hot it was, Applejack decided to write her number on a piece of paper. Than just so happen to make contact with them when she hands it to him. Finally he is standing in front of her. He stands about two maybe three inches taller than her. Applejack herself stood at five foot nine inches. She stood there waiting for something but no one said anything. It was dead quite between them.

“Well I was wondering if you want to hang out sometime or something. You seem cool and since you are new, I don’t know much about to and I would like to. Um here is my number. Feel free to text or call me at anytime.” She handed the paper and did touch his hand but it stayed there for a few seconds. Oh it defiantly felt hotter than the 105 degrees that Twilight said it would. It legit almost burnt her and she did her best to hide the pain she was feeling at first. After a second though all the heat completely went away and it felt like a normal hand. The student noticed everything that had just happened. Even the cringe that she made when they made the initial contact and how she calmed down after a second. Quickly he put the paper away and his glove and helmet on. Before Applejack could really think he was already gone.

Now that Applejack felt that his body temperature was significantly higher than any normal person. Higher than anyone but that group of people that Twilight talked about, she had to know more. She had to talk to him. At first she hadn’t heard from him and she knew, that he knew she felt his body temperature. She began to think that maybe she messed up. Finally at eleven o’clock she received a text from a number. Until she got his name, she gave him the name of Dragon.

[Dragon]: We need to talk now! When we meet up don’t play dumb. I will know. Meet me at the park. Be there in five minutes and come alone. The discussion we’re gonna have needs to be in private.

‘Oh god what did I get myself into?” She thought. Quickly she got dressed and was about to leave and head to where he wanted her to go but she never went. She stood in her doorway debating heavily if to go or not. In the end she decided that if he really wants to talk to her he will at school. Shortly after she fell asleep not being able to reconsider her decision.

The next morning she woke with the hearing of that same engine. 'How the hell did he know where I lived?' Applejack thought but headed downstairs after her mom called her. When she came down she caught the conversation that was going on. "Yes ma'am, I told her I lived close and I'd pick her up today. She seemed to like my motorcycle so I decided to give her a ride. Don't worry I brought her a helmet and a jacket to keep her safe." He paused as he made eye contact with Applejack who stood behind the two. "I know I just met her but I wouldn't want any harm to come her." He emphasized the last few words to make sure that Applejack got an idea of what he was saying.

"Well you seem like a good kid. Just sit down here and she'll be ready soon. Also don't call me ma'am, call me Granny Smith." Applejack ran back upstairs so that Granny Smith didn't know she heard what was said. She got dressed very quickly and put on what she was gonna wear to the meeting she missed. 'Crap, I don't want this talk but he his here so I can't avoid him.' After about another fifteen minutes or so Applejack came back down.

"Why hello there Applejack, nice of you to show up." He said it funny like but so that Granny Smith couldn't hear or see the malice he was lacing in it. The look he gave Applejack is on that could easily kill. Applejack just gulped and fooled as he turned and left. "By Granny Smith, it was nice to meet you."

"You to sweetie, take care of Applejack."

"I will." As soon as the door shut, his persona completely changed. As soon as he got to the bike and grabbed Applejack's jacket. It was an older jacket of his but it still worked just fine. The color was black and had his emblems in the same spot as his did. He basically shoved it into AJ's arms. "Where were you last night?"

"I decided not to go and past out. I figured it wasn't too important and we could talk at school today." She said nonchalantly.

"Not that important? Because of you my life has just changed. Because of you, your life has now completely changed. You see this emblem, this represents my race and bloodline. We are decedents of dragons and my bloodline is the strongest. I went from being the a nomad, which means no other tribes would come after me for being powerful. To becoming the one strongest thing out there and started our own tribe. Now people will come after us because we didn't get together through their tribe. We are going to start getting hunted by other or others are going to want to join my tribe. I never wanted a tribe, thats why I went nomad." Applejacks mouth just went slack. "Yeah this is all your fault. When we made eye contact you some how started my courting. I didn't even know it was possible with someone who isn't a descendent of dragons could start it. What happens is that magic comes off me trying to pull the two of us together. Usually I can stop it and stay away from the person for the a day. Then I can be by them with out trying to court them. You though, yours was so strong. I tried to stop it but because of you I couldn't leave with out making contact with you. You had to fucking stand at my bike and give me something. Ugh. Just so you know when you felt that heat and pain but after a second it went away. That was me imprinting on you. Now it's altered your body so that you can handle higher temperatures so I don't burn you. Also your sent slightly changed. You won't notice it but anyone else of my race will be able to smell it. The change in smell signals that you are, lack of better terms, mine. That's the only changes you will get from me." Applejack's jaw couldn't get any lower. She was having so much trouble trying to take in all the information that was being presented to her. The main thing being that she is now his.

"So Twilight wasn't lying." She whispered but he could still hear here.

"Someone knows what I am? Get on we have to go take care of something."

"Please don't hurt her she means well and won't tell a single soul."

"Would you place your life on it? Because your life will now depend on it."

"Yes. Now are we a couple or something? Is that what you me when you said, 'you are, lack of better terms, mine?' Because I don't even know your name."

"We have to be a couple now and my name is Drogon. You are to stay by me as much as possible. That means we go everywhere together, especially if you want to go somewhere. You are to always where this jacket, it will protect from most things. It's not just a motorcycle jacket at all. Also this jacket has my bloodlines emblem, now because you are part of the my tribe and are my mate, you are allowed to wear my emblem. When this is on others will know who you are and who you, for lack of a better term again, belong too. Do you understand? If you are in public the jacket has to stay on. It is for your protection. If you are home the jacket can come off but keep it close incase of emergencies."

"I understand but it's so much to take in. You know I can protect myself, I mean really, who is going to becoming."

"Oh you think you can but you can't. Right now if I wanted to I could kill you any which way I want and you don't have the skill or strength to stop it. Don't worry I will always be there to protect you but I will also teach you things to help you. Now I may come from the strongest bloodline but that doesn't mean I'm the strongest. I will be when I get older but right now I'm about an average adult of my kind. For my age that is way ahead of where I should be but against who will come after us. I'm still going to be weaker than the stronger ones.

I know and that is a lot to take in, I'm sorry. The helmet is the same as mine with the same modifications, everything. It has a GPS in it and also has night vision. Trust me you may think the night vision won't come in handy but for some escapes we most likely will have to make. It will be your life saver and I know of that first hand. Lastly it also has a mic and speakers in it so we can talk to each other as we ride." Drogon got on his Ducati, strapped his helmet on zipped his jacket up. After all of it was on he stuck a hand out to Applejack. "Ok come on, put the stuff on and get on." She put it on and took his hand and got on the bike. "Now wrap you arms around me and push your chest into my back. It'll help in keeping balance now hold on." With that Drogon backed out of the drive way, revved the engine and took off. "What a way to start your school day." He chuckled as they began to ride.

'What have I gotten myself into?' Applejack thought as the flew down the rode.

Author's Note

This is the first time in a long time I've tried to write in a third person. So any comments and tips on how to make it better would be nice. The main character is named after the dragons in Game of Thrones.
