My Little Homunculi: Alchemy Is Magic

Twilight gasped. "You!" she said. The red one narrowed his eyes. After a moment they opened in surprise.

"It's you!" he said, "I remember you. You're that pony."

"You know him?" Ed asked Twilight.

"Yeah, and he's a jerk." Twilight told him.

"Is that so?" he said.

"Yeah, about that. Sorry." said the red one.

"What?" asked Twilight, surprised.

"You're right, I was a jerk." he said, "But I've changed." Twilight wasn't sure wether to believe him or not.

"And why should I believe you?" she asked.

"Don't. I don't really care. I'm just saying." he told her. Twilight stared at him a moment longer, then sighed.

"Fine. I believe you." she said. "In that case could you help us find something?" she asked him.

"Sure. What is it?" he asked.

"We need to find the library here. We're here to do some research on alchemy." she told him.

"I'll bring you there." he said, and started walking up the volcano. They followed him. "I haven't properly introduced myself yet, I'm Garble." he told them.

"I'm Twilight, and this is Ed." Twilight told him.

"So why do you want to research alchemy? And why here?" he asked them.

"Ed here is an alchemist, and we can't learn about alchemy in Equestria." she told him. Unluckily for them someone else heard that too. A large orange dragon took flight, headed towards the capitol.

The dragon landed in front of a bar just outside of the dragon capitol. He entered the bar, where there were a fair number of dragons. He walked up to the counter, and sat down. "Can I help you?" the bartender asked him.

"Greed consumes all." he told the bartender, the pass code. The bartender nodded, and led him into a passageway, which he followed until he reached a large room where a dark figure was standing.

"I see you're back." said the figure.

"Yes." he said.

"So what news have you brought?" the figure asked him.

"I've found a pony alchemist." he said. The figure's eyes widened slightly.

"Really now? Bring him here." the figure told him.

"Very well." he said, and left the bar. He started flying back towards the other town.
