The Hunter and the Dragon

The moonlight shone down into a dark forest. Within this forest resided all sorts of beasts and strange plant life. Walking amongst the trees was Princess Celestia. She was here , among the trees, mourning the banishment of her sister three years prior. As she walked upon the crisp cool night that she had brought to her little ponies tonight, she noticed a purple shimmer off in the bushes. “What is yond lighteth shimm'ring in the bushes I wand'r?” she said as she approached it, curious.

Nestled within the shrubbery, she saw what appeared to her like a purple dragon with large yellow-orange horns upon its head and strong powerful wings on it’s back. It turned onto its side, revealing it as male but with a strange, almost flat snout. Celestia then noticed how his face seemed to be scaleless. “Who is't is this dragon?”

She then picked him up within her golden aura, turning to her left. As she did, she noticed another figure in a similar shape to the dragon in her grasp. The strange creature had been lying behind the dragon, thus why she hadn’t spotted it before. Celestia could tell that this blue clad, red haired figure was a biped, just like the dragon. The regal pony princess then picked up this second figure and took flight for her home, saying “Alloweth me receiveth thee both to mine own castle to holp thee both recov'r.”

Lesya awoke feeling the sun shining into her eyes, and a warm presence next to her in the soft silky sheets of the plush bed. Her green eyes flew open in surprise as she quickly jumped out of the bed and landed upon the tile floor. The first few things that she noticed was that she was wearing a form fitting cyan blue suit and that the room was large and had a night-time theme from the stars and the blue tapestries.

“Okay, so I wasn’t fucked, but where the hell am I and who the fuck did I wake up next to?” she asked herself out loud, trying to keep herself from freaking out. Lesya stepped back over to the bed, watching the lump of the person that was still in it under the covers when a thought hit her. ”Last thing that I remember wearing is normal civs… not Samus Aran’s Zero-Suit.“ Her face went crimson with blush as thoughts of what could have happened crossed her mind.

The other person in the room moved and sat up slowly, with the blanket moving away to reveal his purple scaled body and wings folded upon his back. Leysa then covered her mouth to stay silent as she watched the person stretch his arms over his head and lean from side to side with a slight pop of his joints. The orange wings spread and stretched as well before folding back to his sides.

Slowly taking two steps back, Lesya bumped into an end table, causing the vase upon it to tumble over the edge and shatter. The scaled person stood up, turning around in shock as his wings spread wide, and his eyes went wide with recognition. “Leysa? Why the hell are you wearing that, and where the hell are we?” he spoke in a voice that was familiar to Lesya.

“Kai… Why are you covered in scales?” Leysa asked in surprise as her voice raised a few octaves. “You also have wings, and a tail!!” Kai’s eyes got bigger as he looked down at himself, noticing the scales and his claw-like hands..

“What the fuck!?” he shouted as he tumbled backward into the wall behind him, his wings spread to prevent them from getting hurt as he slid to the floor. “Ow…“ Lesya was about to go over and check upon her friend who had drastically changed, when she heard a door opening to her left.

“Valorous evening! I'm fain to seeth yond thou art both good now,” spoke a feminine voice that was both calming and strange to the two friends. Leysa turned her head and found herself gazing upon a white pony with both wings and a horn. She then noticed the pony’s flowing ethereal mane and tail and a picture of a sun upon its flank.

“What are you?” Kai asked, starting to stand back up.

“I couldst asketh thee both the same thing, creatures. I am Princess Celestia, rul'r of Equestria. Anon who is't art thee?” she asked with a note of concern in her voice.

Leysa opened her mouth to tell her name and said, “I am Samus the Hunter, and he is Spyro the Dragon.” She then covered her mouth, wide eyed that she just,lied, with such a bold face.

Celestia just nodded and said, “Thanketh thee f'r telling me Samus, I wouldst liketh to talketh to thee both during dinn'r tonight. So, prithee taketh some timeth to receiveth eft and asketh the guardeth to taketh thee to the dinning hall.” With that Princess Celestia turned and left out the elegant dark wood doors.

“Why the hell did you lie like that, Lesya?” Kai asked, as he came over to stand beside her “And why did you call me Spyro?”

“I don’t know, alright Kai? I meant to say our names but those names came out,” Lesya said, throwing her hands into the air and storming toward the small dresser that was in the room. “Honestly Kai, I’m starting to get scared.” She then swung a left handed punch toward the wall as a golden light started to form around her. *CRASH*!! They both then stare at her fist, now covered in gold and red armor, smashed through the wall, leaving a hole the size of a large apple in the masonry. Lesya’s attention turned from the crack in the wall to the gauntlet on her hand, which was growing at an alarming pace. Within moments, Leysa was in the Varia Suit.

She looked down upon herself as the HUD came online and started throwing a slew of messages about the suit’s status and functions into her line of sight.

Lesya’s eyes widened as the messages faded from in front of her and she could then see out of the visor at Kai. “I don’t think that man was crazy.”
