Chapters Eight years passed, and Emerald Forest grew. Under the guidance of her father and his vast number of books he collected during his years, Emerald Forest learnt what it was meant to be a dragon.
Word spread throughout the dragon community that Syrreth the wise had a daughter and soon it reached the ears of the dragon lord. Intrigued by this development, the dragon lord called for a presentation of the hatchlings.
Syrreth was reading one of his many books when through the cave opening galloped a fairly older Emerald Forest her white un-kept mane and tail resembled a wild fire. Her dark red coat reflected the gems on the cave floor. Her ankles were adorned with the gold bracelets from the piles in the corner.

Hey my peoples I know there aren't any pony tags.... you maynever know down the line what may happen within this story :D
Emerald Forest was grounded she wasn’t allowed to go back down to the dragons anymore for the rest of the night. She wasn’t even allowed to look over the cliff and see what was going on. She stayed to the very back of the cliff blocked by Syrreth’s huge frame. He was angry but was too tired to make the trip back to their home. He decided the best course of action was to still until daybreak and leave then.

Meh, I'm just having fun now with this story
“Where’s my dad?” the young pony asked again, her voice echoed within the crystal cave
Learning that her uncle was the ruler of all dragons came as a complete shock to Emerald Forest, that shock was soon outlived though since she couldn’t share in her excitement with her father. Instead Emerald smiled sweetly.

From inside the hut, an old stallion and mare walked out, they were both covered in tribal markings. Even though they were old they held a spring to their step. The warriors that brought Emerald placed her hooves on the ground and showed respect to their elders by bowing their heads.

Guess what........TIME SKIP TIME
Five years had passed since Emerald Forest had set out on her journey to the city of Canterlot, on her way she met many ponies big and small along with creatures she never knew existed like griffons and sea serpents. Emerald had grown into tall beautiful mare, her white mane now had the colour red at the tips. Her body was lean with hardly any fat since she travelled mostly by hoof her legs were of exceptional strength. Her magic became a lot better as she travelled and learnt spells along the way from many unicorns. But the exception of her growth was the fact that she controlled dragon fire. Emerald learnt to harness the dragons flame to do her own bidding. Nothing made her happier than learning something new about the fire she controlled. Syrreth cautioned the mare on her use of the flame and what it can and cannot do.

Emerald found that Lizz had a peculiar talent even though she is blind she is able to paint and draw amazing pictures way better than anything she had seen.

So i didn't know how i wanted to layout this chapter so i basically just let it fall where it fell.
The princess of the sun Celestia laid asleep in her room, her body twists from side to side franticly. She calls out in the stillness of the night Luna to an unseen foe. Suddenly through the bedroom door the night princess bursts through. She immediately shakes the sleeping Celestia.

So the introduction of my versions off the Princesses, minus Cadance, in the words of my six year old niece
Things are not always what they seem and Emerald knew that, the seaside city before her was one such that didn’t seem real. The busy ponies going about their business, or rushing to their next destination. The foals running through the streets without a care in the world. Emerald stood stunned her mouth wide open. Standing next to her Lizz had her wing on her back as usual.
Princess Twilight happily trotted down her castle bypassing the throne room , she looked in all the rooms searching. Soon she came to the large meeting room, pushing open the doors she entered, laying on the ground asleep with a book in front him was a giant dragon his slow rhythmic breathing vibrated the ground under Twilight’s hooves.

So I was toying around with what I actually wanted to do with the mane seven. I hope you all like what my idea is, and yes Lizz is a pegasus who's scared of heights
Seven days at sea to sailors was more or less a walk in the park but for inexperienced ponies, the trip was daunting. Two day into the trip both Emerald and Lizz got sea sick, the constant movement had them hanging their heads over the railing in an attempt to easy their suffering, which only added to it.

It's been a while I've been out of it just trying to get my bearings a little... The stress of life and all.
Two days had passed since their arrival on White island Tidal wave allowed the mares to stay on his ship for their stay while he went about his business and in addition found them transport to the main land. Everything was looking up, they were treated kindly by the sea stallions but Syrreth didn’t think kindly to the fact that most of them talked about their flanks a lot. Emerald shook it off saying the sailors meant no harm, but Syrreth only growled.

Hey hey guys we're back again with a new chapter
Flying above the clouds, a giant purple dragon beat his massive wings as his head hug low looking at the land. He was searching or rather using his hunting instincts to aid in hi search. On his back six ponies sat they were in deep conversation with each other, even though they were high up and the wind should cause a hamper for them to even keep their eyes open they sat as if they were in a small tea house.
With a large splash they were all submerged, as their heads popped up one by one they six ponies gasped for air as spike laughed hysterically.
“Spike!” Twilight exclaimed hitting the water with a hoof
“What,” Spike gave a toothy smile “it’s not my fault.”
“Then, whose fault is it?” asked Rarity
Spike’s smile grew “We were supposed to be looking for this pony” explained the purple dragon “but you guys are just talking on my back, a little more and Fluttershy would’ve had tea laid out.”
“I-I wouldn’t have laid out tea….unless somepony wanted tea.” Fluttershy said shrinking away
“Spike’s right, we should be helping,” Apple Jack added “we’ve just been so busy with our duties and all that we got caught up in the conversation Spike.”
“Speak for yourselves, I was paying attention the whole time.” Rainbow Dash said hitting hoof to chest “I’m awesome enough to do the two.”
Spike pulled Rainbow Dash under the water at her remark making all the other ponies giggle. Just then the sound of a blaring ship horn pierced the sky snapping everyone in its direction.
“That’s a distress signal.” Apple Jack stated her body rose out the water and stood on the waves, narrowing her eyes she scanned the area “There!”
In a flash Spike was out the water, Twilight was right beside him, even though she was smaller than him she kept up with his pace without any effort. Around them the orbs of their friends kept pace as well.
“Flutter Shy, Rarity Apple Jack, you ponies tend to the hurt ponies.” Twilight commanded “Spike, Rainbow and I will see about the threat,
“Yes.” Everypony agreed before nose diving into danger
***
Emerald looked at the sea serpent as it trashed against the invisible force field the unicorn staff members were creating. She saw the sweat and the strain holding the force field placed on them, her anger slowly rose. The gem against her chest pulsed in a rhythmic fashion. She stepped forward, A earth pony grabbed onto her tail in an attempt to pull her back but with a small flick of her tail the mare was free.
“Emerald, what’s going on?” Lizz asked in a shaky voice “why is every pony panicking?”
Emerald stopped she had forgotten about Lizz, turning back Emerald looked to a elderly couple and walked over to them, the pulsing in her chest grew, she felt the roars of the dragons within the gem, it shook her body making her drop to her knees. Emerald got up and stood in front the couple.
“Can I ask you a favour?” she asked through laboured breaths
“What is it?” the mare said, her voice was gentle and soothing
“Please look after her,” Emerald pointed to Lizz “I’ll be back soon.”
The mare nodded as Emerald turned to Lizz and pulled the young mare in, she placed their foreheads together.
“I’m coming back in a bit.” Emerald said “Stay with these ponies till I return.”
“Where are you going?” Lizz asked wrapping her hoof around Emerald
“Just to blow off some steam.” Smiled the mare, she released the pony and led her to the elderly couple “I’ll be back.”
Emerald turned and trotted out onto the deck, the shouts of the ponies calling her to return fell on deaf ears. They needed to fight… No, she needed to fight; she felt it down to her bones, the feeling of danger; the thirst for the battle. The trashing sea serpent was her pray. Emerald threw her head back as a roar escaped her lips, the ponies behind her shrank at the ungodly sound that escaped her lips. The unicorns holding the force field together lost concentration shattering their only line of defence.
From above the purple dragon grabbed the serpent before Emerald could attack again and managed to throw it into the sky as the Alicorn and the blue orb that exploded to reveal a blue Pegasus each attack the serpent as well with magic and melee attacks. The other three orbs Emerald saw floated around the cruise ship forming a magical barrier.
Emerald roared catching the attention of the purple alicron who watched her wide eyed, the fire danced around her body as the intense heat it emitted managed to boil the water she levitated over.
“Get away from my prey!” Emerald shouted to the purple dragon that wrestled with the serpent, fire began to leak from her mouth as a flaming ball began to form “GET AWAY!”
The ball was sent flying towards the purple dragon, wide eyed the dragon could do nothing but take the impact of the attack. He released the serpent allowing the creature to get away by diving under water. Emerald began to form another ball again but a orb was suddenly around her.
“Calm down pony.” A thunderous voice echoed “we are not your enemies.”
The feral Emerald turned to the source of the voice, the purple alicorn, next to her the blue Pegasus flew behind her protectively.. the dragon recovered quickly and came to the side of the alicorn.
“My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle my little pony” said the alicorn “what is your name?”
“You’re a princess?” Emerald asked tilting her head, her breathing was laboured and fire still ran over her body “Then you’re the one we’ve been looking for.”
Twilight said nothing as she lowered them to the cruise ship “You were looking for me.” Twilight said once they were safely on board, immediately the crew and members of the patrons all rushed out and encircled them, they all wore large smiles on their faces and bowed to them, Twilight smiled to them “Thank you all, please arise.”
The ship captain trotted over to them, he wore a huge smile on his face as he bowed before them “Princess, thank you for your aid with the sea serpent.” Captain Shores said
“Captain,” Twilight said “is there any place me and my friend can talk?”
“Please follow us.” Twilight said to Emerald walking through the crowded, everypony looked at Emerald with fear their eyes stole quick glances of her before looking away agai. Before anything Emerald walked to the two elder ponies that were still with Lizz.
“Thank you for taking care of he” she said
“It was our pleasure” the mare replied with a kind smile “now, don’t let all that anger go unchecked you can seriously hurt somepony.”
“Yes ma’am” Emerald replied, Lizz extended awing and rested it on Emeralds back before they entered the captains office where the alicorn along with five other ponies awaited, a large dragons eye looked on through the window
“Now, shall we begin?” asked the alicorn

Wow that actually took a lot out of me, this is kinda my guilty pleasure guys please bear with my lateness, for the few readers I have, you guys are awesome for reading a new bronies work. You wouldn't believe the Christmas I had, almost died during filming, my new book was released so hardly anytime there.
Eighteen years ago
Everypony knew about dragons, they were vicious greedy creatures that cared only for themselves. They say if you cross a dragon’s path, hide and pray to Celestia that you won’t be on the menu for dinner. But that’s not the story now is it? So please sit back and let me tell you a tale only known by a few.
It was a late summers evening, the forest was quiet no animals made any form of noise. A small pony family cautiously walked along the path, the colt of the two pulled along a small carriage that held a small sleeping foal wrapped warmly from the summer evening wind.
Deeper into the forest they went slowly, the silence that reached their ears sent shivers throughout their bodies. They felt it, the eyes that followed them.
“H-honey?” whispered the blue mare her voice trembled
The colt not wanting to admit his fear wrapped a comforting hoof around his terrified wife.
“It’s going to be okay, we’ll get through this.” He said gently, as they walked and the night began to creep around them, the pony picked up the pace to a trot, behind them the sounds of growls increased around them. The last thing they saw was the rows of white fangs coming towards them.
ROAR….!
A piercing roar filled the forest the Timberwolves scattered, leaving the barely breathing bodies of the pony couple on the forest floor.
With that the dragon took to the sky, first thing on his mind was to provide food for the young foal, she cannot eat jewels as himself. Raising a little pony will be a trial but Syrreth will face them whole heartedly. As he flew he learnt of the difference between the dragon hatchlings and foals. Ponies tend to cry a whole lot especially when hungy and being a unicorn her magic was very much unstable.
Syrreth didn’t mind all that though his greatet concern when it came down to it was food, how was he going to feed a growing foal dragons are not known for making milk.
The young foal blew a spit bubble as Syrreth took the bottle out the water. He tested it upon his scales but felt nothing, his scales were too thick. Going on his gut feeling the dragon placed the bottle in the foal’s hooves, she didn’t flinch from the heat but greedily drank.
“How about Water Spout?” Syrreth said suggesting a name, the foal stopped drinking and looked at Syrreth with questioning eyes “alright that’s a no.”
Syrreth began listing names to which most of the foal responses were of the violent kind, she even threw her bottle at him for the suggestion of Diamond Dust.
“Then why don’t we just call you foal?” Syrreth said frustrated, with a sigh he tired once more, he looked over the Foal intently “Emerald Forest?”
Expecting a projectile of some Sort Syrreth waited only to hear the happy laughter coming from the foal.
“You like that don’t you Emerald Forest.” Syrreth said as the foal levitated and landed on his snout hugging him lovingly, managed to drift to sleep, gently removing his daughter his face Syrreth rested her on some of the soft grass.
“I believe I’ll need to visit the cows once again for some bedding.” The dragon said curling up around Emerald Forest, he rested his head on his front claws and closed his eyes whilst his tail wrapped around his daughter protectively.
The dragon lord looked at Syrreth and then to Emerald Forest, his cold eyes locked onto hers. Emerald felt as though at any minute he would just open his jaws and swallow her whole. The dragon lord blew a puff of smoke in annoyance and turned to Syrreth once again.
MILES AWAY FROM THE DRAGON NEST
From within the everfree forest a lone changeling stood, its eyes locked onto the many dragons. A smile came upon its face as it turned and flew deeper into the forest.

Let the story begin
Twilight waited till the captain of the cruise ship left them alone within his office but only after insisting that they were served tea, only then did Twilight turn to face the two mares before her.
"So, you're a princess?" asked Emerald cutting to the chase immediately, she eyes the purple unicorn and shook her head "you don't look like a princess."
"I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess of friendship." Twilight introduced herself smiling "and these are my friends the elements of harmony, who might you be?"
"I am Emerald Forest, Daughter of Syrreth and this is Lizz, she's like my sister." Emerald followed suit motioning to Lizz
"A pleasure to meet you Princess Twilight," bowed Lizz, Emerald raised a eyebrow at the gesture but thought nothing of it
"If you're a princess you should be able to help me save my dad, right?" asked Emerald
"You said your dad was Syrreth right?" asked Twilight, Emerald nodded "How can that be, you are not a dragonpony."
"Twilight, dragonponies have not been seen fer decades," the orange mare with a yellow mane said
"You're right AppleJack but it doesnt make sense, she's the daughter of Syrreth the dragon," began Twilight "the same dragon that unified the races against him."
Emerald looked at her confused just as the dragon on the outside of the ship began to chuckle, everypony turned to face him.
"What's so funny?" asked the animated pink pony "I wanna laugh too."
"Twilight, dragon ponies haven't been seen for a long time yes, but id you look her over you'll see she isn't a dragon pony." Spike laughed "Emerald was it, how is Syrreth your father?"
"He found me and made me his daughter," replied Emerald "how else would he be my dad."
"That, was really kind of Syrreth." Fluttershy whispered, the gem around Emerald;s neck pulsed with pride
Twilight sighed "Alright I get your point." she stated "but there are questions I want answers for young unicorn."
At that moment there was a knock on the office door the white unicorn opened it and was greeted by two waiter ponies pushing trays of food and tea. After their quick bows they departed. Emerald made her way to the trays and prepared a plate for Lizz.
"Tell me why were you looking for the princess?" asked Twilight
Emerald stepped to Twilight, close enough so she could see the gem glistening on her neck "All the dragons except my uncle and some hatchlings are locked inside here." she said bluntly "we were attacked by these things called changelings."
"Changelings?" shouted Twilight "are you sure?"
"Well, that's what uncle Balor said." shrugged Emerald, from the corner of her eye she noticed Spike's green eye widen in surprise "you know him?"
"Well..." Spike's voice trailed
"Spikey here is the father of Balor and Syrreth." Rarity said matter of factly
"RARITY." shouted Spike he gripped the boat rocking it violently as the white unicorn laughed as he peered down at her with one eye "we'll talk later about this."
"I cannot wait," smirked Rarity
"Oh go get a room." Rainbow dash shouted
"Excuse my friends, they don't know when to be serious." Twilight sighed "but Rarity is right, Spike is the father of Syrreth and Balor."
"Dad?" asked Emerald out loud "is that dragon my grandfather?"
'Yes' the reply was brief
"Why didn't you tell me this before, I blasted my grand father with a fire ball." Emerald began to pace as everypony stood watching her talk to herself "didn't it seem important at the time?"
'Not really, I enjoyed watching him get blasted' Syrreth chuckled 'serves him right'
"Emerald?" asked Rarity "are you alright dear?"
Emerald took a deep breath "I'm fine." she said "princess Twilight, can you save them?"
Emerald stepped to Twilight and took off the necklace she wore, and held it to the alicorn princess. Twilight took the gem in her hooves and looked at it closely.
"I think the princess will want to see this first," Twilight said "if the changelings are the ones who did this, no telling what kind of magic they could have used breaking it could set of a trap."
"To the princesses." Pinkie shouted happily "and then we can throw Emerald a welcome party."
"I hope the princesses could help, changeling magic is tough isn't it?" Fluttershy whispered
"We'll be able to help," Twilight said "in the meantime, AppleJack you and Rainbow go to the Crystal Empire, warn Shining Armor and Cadance, the changelings will be drawn to their love"
"You got it Twi." AppleJack said before grabbing the blue pegasus and dragging her out the office "see you all in three shakes of a parasprite.'
"What's a parasprite?" asked Emerald
"You don't wanna know." Rarity said shuddering
"The rest of us will head to Canterlot," said Twilight "get this to the princesses as soon as possible."
Twilight pointed to the necklace that was once again around Emerald's neck. The gem pulsed lightly as it's warmth caressed Emeralds coat.
"Hey granddad," Emerald said turning to Spike "you have year to make up for, got it."
"Sure." said Spike excitedly "Rarity and I will LOVE to show you around."
"Of course we will darling" Rarity chuckled "Won't that make Twilight your great grandmother?" she asked
Emerald tilted her head confused as Lizz stepped towards her and placed a wing on her back "So, are we going Canterlot now?"
"Looks that way." Emerald said "finally dad can come out of this thing."
'Do not get your hopes up Emerald, they might not be powerful enough to free us.' said Syrreth
"Come on dad have a little faith, you said the princesses were powerful right," began Emerald
"Emerald?" asked Twilight "why do you keep talking to yourself?"
"I'm not talking to myself," Emerald retorted "I can hear dad from inside this thing."
She pointed to the gem on her chest that glowed
"Can anyone else hear him?" asked Twilight
"I don't know never tired," Emerald shrugged "never even thought of that."
May I?" asked Twilight, Emerald levitated the necklace over her head and placed it onto Twilight she waited a few seconds
'Can you hear me Princess?' asked Syrrreth
"I hear nothing." Twilight said disappointed "maybe it's some connection you share."
"Maybe." Emerald shrugged
***
Queen Chrysalis stood on top the tallest mountain with in the wasteland, around her neck she wore the gem that contained Norgan. Chrysalis eyes were closed as she focused, around her green spheres appeared, they rotated at a very fast pace. The sky, turned green as the land began to wither away.
Opening her eyes Chrysalis laughed "This power" she laughed "the power to decay everything."
'This is but a fraction of our power.' Norgan said from within her "with you fully releasing me from my prison and our combined strength, all will fall."
"Ooo, I like the sound of that." laughed Chrysalis, she released her magic allowing the wasteland to keep some form of structure before turning "my people should be nearing their destination soon, then it shall all be over."
Queen Chrysalis took flight leaving the once barren wasteland a poisoned ruin.

Hello everyone of my few readers, how is it doing?
