Loving Mother

This is a work of fiction and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is property of Hasbro. Keep in mind this is an AU and has some differences.

The Fiery Dragon slowly descended to the ground and landed just inside the clearing. The the tail thrashed through some tree branches, disturbing the wildlife. Fancy Pants smiled jovially at what the good work Skyway, his pilot, had done.

“Oops, sorry about the close shave in the back end.” He remarked.

“Quite alright it’s your first time, and besides even I would have problems in these tight quarters.” Fancy chuckled and prepared to disembark. Plus, the trees are enchanted by the Alchemist to warn him when some creature is coming.

“Good luck sir, I’ll be waiting here.” Skyways added.

Fancy made his way from the clearing up a jagged mountain path, he knew it well and of course he was happy to meet his old teacher. It wasn’t long before fancey found his way into the mouth of cave that was covered with tanned hid flaps. Fancy moved them aside fearlessly and entered the cave. The cave ceiling was covered with parts of exposed gems, while the sides of the cave were covered with phosphorescent moss and fungi. Most would become lost, but fancy was not like most, he had once been a student of the cave’s master.

Soon Fancy found himself in a cavern that were lined with all manner of ingredients and equipment. At large, sturdy table strewn with table working equipment was a large white, Ram. The Ram was old with obvious sight to him but his fur was slick, that ended up with jagged spikes, his black curled horns had unusual angles. His elderly hoofs moved with great measured controlled as he mixed two one test tube into another. The ram did not look around and continued his work.

“Abahhh,” The ram bleated. “It’s good to see you Fancy, what brings you here?”

“Hello, My Teacher, I see that your sentient plant potion is still in effect.” Fancy bowed slightly. “I am here for your help. I a prepared to give you payment.”

“Bhaaa, do as you wish. I would expect no less for one of my better students," He continued to mix his formula. “Bhaaa, it’s good to see you my former student. It is joyiuse to know what one of my best students is still apart of this world. Now, I am glad that you still think of my as your teacher but that time is past. If you wish you may, but we are two gentlefolks now you may call me Sandanis.” Fancy smiled and explained his situation to the old ram. It was some time before either of the two spoke again and while they were silent the old ram worked at his at his chemicals. It was only a few minutes as he worked with his chemicals. Without much trouble he place his finished works holders away from the burners and distiller. The old ram turned around his peanut shaped eyes focused on Fancey, he gave a weathered smiled at the stallion.

“As you wish, Master Sandanis.” Fancy smiled.

“I am interested in the problem you brought befor me, you need my help. Yes, it sounds interesting. I am glad that you see fit to ask an old Ram as myself for help. I am sorry that your wife found that Zebra potion first. If only you came to me for help, I could make something much better.”

“I can only guess, but aren't you disturbed about the plans?” Fancy asked.

“Not at all, my fellow Rams are being persecuted because of one miscreant,” He snorted and bleated. “We are not all like Grogar, we may want to extend our lives, but not all want to become a walking corpse. If death comes to claim me then I will welcome it, just not with open hooves. I just hope I find my perfect student before then.” He sighted.

“Well, I know that you like to use a particular potion to prolong your existence,” Fancy called on his magic and soon appeared a large carry along bag bigger than he was. Removing the clasp and opened the bag, carefully he removed a large, refrigerated cylinder. With a cheeky smile on his face he unlocked it and opened it for Sandanis to see.

Sandanis’ peanut eyes nearly exploded form his skull. “Baby berries! Where in Equus did you find them? I thought the Zebra destroyed them all.”

“Only the wild ones. My gardener managed to collect a few cutting that I have in my private greenhouse on my property. So, they will be safe.”

This made Sandanis smile. “Haablah, if only you had the heart but I will not force anything. You would have been the best student and I would never need to extend my life for so long.” He let out a long sigh.

“So, I can assume that you would help me?” Fancy asked.

“Of course I will, but it should take a while.” Sandanis said but then he remained quiet.

Fancy caught one the silence, he nodded. “Oh, I won't be waiting here I have a little more business and I think that I’ll see ma’ma for a bet.”

“That is good, I’ll send your a message when I am finished.” Sandanis turned around and walked towards his lab.

It was not long until Fancy Pants made his way out of the cave. Without much trouble he was back in the clearing where The Fairy Dragon.

“How did it work out?” Skyway asked.

“Quite excellent, now I hope you don’t mind but I would like you to bring me to my mother’s estate as well?”

“More flying time for me. I’m up for anything just tell me where.”

“Excellent, now to my next appointment at a fertility clinic.” Fancy told Skyway leaned back and smiled as the ship took to the sky.

“Yes, sir!” Skyway announced as he barrel roll and shot off in a new direction.
