Chapters It was dark and warm… As if I was inside a hot tub and the warm water was embracing my body and mind. For an indeterminate time I just stood there, in silence and in peace. Nothing else matters to me at that moment.
I don’t know how much time passed in that peaceful darkness but, slowly, I started to feel that I was awaking. My whole body felt numb and light. I tried to open my eyes but something was preventing me to do that. I could feel something holding my movements… something was holding me. I started to move my limbs and legs, trying to break free but it was so hard.
As I moved my head, something hard touched my face. A voice at the back of my head was telling me to tackle it and so I did. I pulled my head back and then moved it against that hard thing. One, two… three times. The fourth time I did that I heard a ‘crack’. That sound made me so happy… I was braking free! I hit it harder and harder, until finally that hard barrier broke. First thing I felt was fresh air filling my lungs. I breathed deep and pushed harder.
The light attacked my eyes and it took some time until I could open them. My whole body was still trapped in that warm place, but now my head was free. Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw seven colorful ponies around me. They had soft smiles on their faces and big and very expressive eyes. At first I got confused… but then all the memories struck me like a spear. I knew their names, I knew who they are and I knew what I had done to them… also, I knew that something was wrong… VERY wrong. Why were they so big!?
When I looked down I felt my head spin for what I saw. My whole body was trapped inside a white egg with red strip! Panic filled my guts and I started to kick and struggle as hard as I could, until I broke free completely. I felt the warmth fading as my whole body was exposed to the air now. I was in some kind of nest made of hay and the six ponies watched me with increased interest. I looked at my hands and saw that I had only four fingers now that ended in retractable claws. Touching my own face, I felt that I had a muzzle now and a pair of small horns. Looking at my back I saw a pair of wings and a tail. My scales were dark green with some details in red.
The panic started to grow, more and more and more in my chest… My mind was numb and everything looked very scary. Something started to burn in my stomach. It started to hurt and I opened my mouth to scream for help, to ask anyone what had happen to me! But my voice came in as a tiny roar and a cone of red flames erupted from my throat. The six ponies jumped out of the way, barely escaping from the hot flames.
A pair of cyan hoofs grabbed me from behind in a tight hug and pulled me up to sit on her lap.
I closed my eyes, trying to get a hold of my emotions. Slowly my thoughts started to align and some blank spaces in my memories started to be filled. After a while I finally felt confident enough to speak…
Suddenly I felt my head really light and a yawn escaped my mouth.
I held on her mane as tight as I could while we flew. The sun was not far from the horizon...A few stars were already visible as the night was advancing. I was finding it really hard to stay awake... every minute was a torture to me. I could barely see now, my vision was all blurred and I couldn't stop my body from laying on her back... my face against her soft mane... and then I fell asleep.
I don't know how much time I slept... All I know is that as my conscience started to come back but I still thought that I was in another dream. I could feel something really soft under me, nothing like I have ever felt in the real world, only when Discord pulled me to those dreams. I could feel something warm right next to me and something caressing my chest. As I opened my eyes I saw Rainbow Dash right next to me, using her hoof to caress my chest. She was so big now, at least twice my size. Looking around I saw walls made out of clouds... and the bed was made of clouds too. That's why it was so soft and comfortable.
I forced my body to sit, but it felt like something was weighing me down. I looked back and stared at my new wings… I tried to move them a little, just out of curiosity.
I forced myself to stand up now and almost fell. My legs were hard to control and when I moved one of them to step forward I felt my new tail lashing to the side and hitting something.
That was so frustrating… I could barely walk now… how was I supposed to be useful? I think that my frustration was really obvious because I felt a hoof over my head, caressing me softly.
It took me at least five minutes to walk out of the room and reach the front door. I felt myself so exhausted… walking the small distance felt like running miles and miles without stop. My heart was beating fast and I was panting. I looked up to the knob on the door and sighed. I was so short that even to reach the knob I had to stand on the tip of my toes. I stretched my body as much as I could and opened the door. As the door opened I fell on the floor… outside the home, I could see the sun high in the sky and felt that soft cold breeze.
I thought about standing up again but I simply rolled to the side, my stomach facing up now, and rested. A cyan head with a rainbow mane appeared over me, covering the sun.
She looked away and closed her eyes for a second… her expression was a mix of frustration, sadness and a bit of angry. Despite all that, she grabbed me and flew down taking me to my tree house, where I used to live with Steel Head. For the whole trip we didn’t speak at all. Soon we arrived at my house… it was just like I remembered it. The trunk had a grayish brown color and not a single leaf on the branches. In the first floor there were two windows and the front door and at the second floor, more two windows and a balcony.
She dropped me at the front door and then looked at me for a second. I saw sadness in her eyes… She opened her wings and flew away, without a single word. I sighed and turned to see the door. I forced myself to stand up and reached my arm to knock. I just hoped that Steel Head was home, or else I would be stuck outside until he arrived.
The door suddenly open and the hard wood hit me in the face. My small body was tossed back and I landed hard on the floor.
The room was the same, except for a thin layer of dust in some places. My armor was arranged in a support. My sword and axe were there too. It had a thick layer of dust on it, as if no one had put a hoof on it in days. Except for that, the whole place was still in order and looked like it had at least a weekly clean up.
Steel Head put me on my bed and I crawled to my pillow.
“OUCH!” I yelped when I fell for the fifth time.
Since the time I woke up, I was trying to walk without falling. It was getting easier, but still was hard to control my wings and tail. Every time I stopped paying attention to them, something would happen and I’d end up on the floor again. The first time my tail lashed to the side and I lost balance. The second time one of the wings simply spread and weighed me to the side. The third time I fell when my other wing spread. The fourth time, I kept my attention in both wings, but lost concentration on my tail and it lashed to the side, making me fall. This time, I tried to focus on the three at the same time, but, don't ask me how, I started to flap my wings and lift a few inches from the floor, just to fall again. I was panting, staying on all fours. Slowly I forced myself to stand up again. If it was not for the wings and tail, I would be running by now!
My room's door opened and Steel head came inside with a sleepy face.
When I had my body, I was the one that cooked every meal... But for obvious reasons, Steel Head made our breakfast. For him some bread with hay and flowers, and for me he chopped some fruits...
We finished our breakfast and he went to clean the dishes while I kept practicing on walking and controlling my new wings and tail. I didn't do any other thing the whole morning and Steel Head was there to help me. I was really lucky to have such a patient friend... He stood there by my side all day long. I only started to walk right when the sun started to go down. After so much time of practice, my mind was starting to assimilate the new parts of my body, and I no longer needed to focus all the time to keep my wings closed and my tail align with my body and help me keep balance, instead of lashing around and make me fall.
After dinner, I walked upstairs, using my hands and legs to climb…I really needed to take a bath... I was sore from the falls and really tired, since my body was still so 'fresh'. I don't really know what happened then. I just recall of me entering the bathroom, turning it on and then... I woke up with the sun coming in from my glass door that leaded to the balcony. I stood up and climbed down my bed, breathed deeply and started to walk. It was much easier now, and soon I was going downstairs on my own, to the kitchen. It was still difficult to go down stairs, I have to admit.. Almost fell twice. I had to go step by step, with much caution…. But I managed to arrive at my destination in time.
Spike got closer to me and started to scan me with his eyes... I arched an eye brow a little worried. When I was still a human, I never had a connection with the little dragon... We never really talked more than what was necessary. His stare was starting to make me uneasy... he was half an inch taller than me.
I blinked a few times after that statement and turned to see Twilight and Steel Head when they started to giggle.
I had a bit difficult on walking now that I was being pulled like that. I had to use great effort to not fall.
We walked a few minutes until we finally reach the city. There, many ponies started to look at me a bit confused. I think that they didn't knew that I was the same human that they saw before And I would need to face those awkward stares all over again. A fuchsia mare approached us with a smile.
I stood there, watching as the fuchsia mare got away. Who the hell did she think she was to talk to me like that!?
I followed him through the city, trying to ignore the stares and some comments about how 'cute' I was and other stuff like that. It was getting really annoying now. Lucky for me, we didn't walk too much farther. He stopped at a jewelry store and entered. I wondered why he would bring me to a place like this.
The store had a counter made of glass, with many hoof-rings, earnings, necklaces and other pieces of jewelry. A light cream pony with white mane and a big mustache waved to us. He wore a pair of small glasses and a fine green line vest. At first I thought that my senses were all messed up, because the whole store had a sweet smell... a smell that was making me even hungrier, like I had entered in some food store, like Sugar Cube Corner.
We walked to a near bench and sat on it. I was really curious of what had inside the bag... I mean, it couldn't be gems... At least not the gems that that store sold. But to my surprise it was. When Spike opened the bag I saw all sorts of colorful gems with all kinds of colors and shapes. They smelled so good, and my mouth filled with water in no time... Even my stomach growled again.
I blinked a few times when I saw his teeth crushing the gem like a cookie, as if it was nothing, and more than that, He started to chew the stone and swallow it all. How the hell did he do that!?
I stared at the blue gem and gave it a lick. It tasted incredible good... it was nothing like I ever tasted before. It was sweet but not like a cupcake... Hard to describe the taste actually. I grabbed the gem with my jaws and pressed it and the gem simply crumbled under the lightest pressure. I started to chew on it and the gem simply melted in my mouth.... It tasted so good that I felt shivers down my spine. It was sweet and had an after taste like mint... I shoved the rest of the gem in my mouth and chewed on it like there was no tomorrow. It was simply delicious!
We stood there, looking at the ponies come and go while sharing a sack of gems, just enjoying our threat.
I didn't know what to say to him right now... so I simply remained in silence and grabbed one more gem to eat. In fact, I was lucky. I loved Rainbow Dash and I knew that she loved me back... But to be with her like this was something... unthinkable at least! I was just a baby dragon now... Barely able to walk... completely helpless. I had no guts to face her like this... I was ashamed of what I was right now.
I stood up on the ground and started to walk besides him. He was a really nice guy and it was no surprise that all the girls liked him so much. I always watched how they treated him like some kind of young brother or cousin and after a morning with him I was already feeling really attached to him.
We walked the whole morning, with no destination at all. I got so lost in our conversation that the curious looks of the ponies around didn't bother me anymore. It was kind of funny how clueless Spike was. He was not good in catching implicit meanings in some phrases. It was no wonder that Rarity didn't see him as a potential partner. He was just a kid, not only in body, but also, in mind too.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
On a nearby cloud a cyan pegasus watched as a baby dragon flew in the back of a royal guard. She giggled softly when the dragon suddenly opened is wings, almost making the guard fall but both managed to recover.
Rainbow Dash had a talk with Rarity about Eravel and his behavior... Rarity told her about how he should be feeling and, as hard as it was, the rainbow maned mare agreed to not chase after him. She agreed to respect his will to be away from her for now and just hoped that soon he would let her get close again.
A/N: First of all, thanks for everyone that read "The fearless warrior" and now is reading the sequel. A very special thanks to SuperUnknown101 for offering himself to be my editor. He takes care of my grammar mistakes making the whole story better to be read ^^
My body was being tossed up and down in Steel heads back as he trotted to the city. It was really early in the morning and I couldn't help to yawn and rub my eyes to make the sleepiness go away. Twilight had really did come by my house to take me to school. When I was going to refuse, Steel Head reminded me about our bet and, to my misfortune, I was a man of my word.
The sun had just risen above the horizon and the sky had light blue color. It was full of clouds since it was too early even for the pegasi to clear out the sky.
Soon I could see that wooden building with a small tower to house a bell. In front of it, foals were playing in a small park under the watch of the fuccia mare, Cherlee. Steel Head and Twilight walked near her and she smiled wider.
Apple Bloom was going to say something but then the school bell started to rang, calling the foals to go inside. I sighed in relief as the three of them walked away going to the wooden building. Someone pushed me from behind... Looking back I saw Twilight smiling at me.
The class room had several chairs with table in front of it. On the front wall of the building there was a big table with some papers on it and a big board with a green so dark that it almost looked black. The foals started to take their places and I simply awaited till everyone were sit. I got a table that was at a dark corner at the room, really discrete place. Cherlee soon took her place in front of the foals and called their attention.
Aside from the start, the rest of the morning was really calm... I found it a lot more easy to learn some things about the equestrian writing with the fuccia mare than with Twilight. Cherlee had a charismatic voice and had good way to explain things and before I knew, I got really wrapped up in the lessons, since it was for my own interest that I learned how to write properly. She explained a little about the Everfree forest and how dangerous it was... not that I needed any more details about that place. I knew very well how that forest could be dangerous to anyone.
After her speech on the Everfree forest, the bell rang again and we were dismissed. It was only four hours of class and we could go home, but many of the foals just stood there to play in the gardens ... but not me. I didn't have the will to stay among them, after all, I was not a foal, cub, child or whatever. My mind had things more important to think of, like possible ways to recover the skills I had when human.
I walked past the foals and was almost at the road that leaded to the city when I saw Applejack approaching.
I started to hear a commotion coming from behind. As I looked back I saw all the foals gathering to watch something. I started to walk near it next to Applejack to see what it was. All the foals had made a circle around five ponies. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo where on one side and on the other was a pink foal waring a tiara and a gray foal with glasses. They looked to be arguing with each other.
As I learned, the 'cute mark' was the representation of the talent of that specific pony, and it would appear when the pony in question found out what was his or her special talent.
Those words hit me like stones. The thing that I almost hated was that I was still learning how to control this new body, and to have those words throwing at me... was too much.
I entered the circle of ponies and glared at Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with my sharp claws exposed... I really wanted to test them right now, but I knew that no matter how angry I was, they were not worth it.
Diamond Tiara's eyes filled with tear with my last words and she ran away crying. Silver Spoon looked at her friend running and then at me again. I snorted leaving two small flames from my nose and that was enough for the gray mare run away too.
With my tiny legs I took more time to reach the city's border... each step was a challenge. Each step the sleepiness got stronger... I gave up in the middle of the way... Walked a few steps to reach a nearby tree and sat under it... just a quick nap won't hurt, yeah... it won't hurt. As soon as I closed my eyes I fell asleep.
Right after I closed my eyes I felt someone poking me in the fore head... at first I moved my had, making a sign to whoever it was to go away... but then I felt another poke.
I woke up widening my eyes. My heart was racing and I was shaking a little. I heard a rustle in the trees and when I looked up I saw only a few leaves falling. I saw Rainbow Dash flying away really fast, to get away.
I mounted on him and we flew to our house... The few minutes of flight we stood in silence. I couldn't stop thinking about the cyan pegasus. I had to gather courage to meet her and soon. My thoughts about Rainbow Dash stopped when we arrived at home and saw that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were waiting for us, both with a smile on their faces. I wondered what they wanted...
A/N: Here we are... another chapter ^^
"Your majesty..." Steel Head said landing in front of the two Princesses and bowed.
I slid down his back and did the same. Both were waiting for us there and I was wondering if something bad had happen despite their smiles.
"Hello Steel Head... Eravel.." Celestia said and approached me. "So... how are you adapting to your new body?" She asked to me.
"Actually" Luna started. "We were just waiting for you to have a full control over your body to make you grow to something more appropriate for your actual age."
"Really? You can really do this?" The idea of get bigger body, even if not as big as I was before, was enough to cheer me up… Not that I forgot the bad things from the morning, but hey, didn't seems to be so bad now.
"But Of course we can..." Luna started again. "We didn't make you grow before because if you are small, the damages of your lack of self control could be minimal." She explained to me.
"So, you decided that I'm ready to be a grown dragon then?" I smiled at them, full of hopes.
"Well yes..." Celestia started. "But we will make you only a bit taller than the average ponies… And it will take some time too, we don't want anything going wrong, so, I'm going to do it slowly... diminishing the impact on your mind."
I had to contain myself to not jump from joy at her words.
"I would say in a few days... but I think you are ready now. Tomorrow a carriage will come to pick you up" Celestia said.
"What about me your highness?" Steel Head said.
"You can stay in Ponyvile. It came to my ears that you are doing a fine job around here" Celestia said to the royal guard. Steel didn't look very happy with that but simply nodded in agreement.
The Princesses opened their wings and flew back to Canterlot, leaving me and the royal guard behind. I looked at the royal guard and saw him sighing, lowering his ears.
"Ok... they are gone now, you can tell me." I said looking at him.
"Tell you what?" He asked arching an eyebrow.
"I'm not upset... you are imagining things..." He said walking behind me.
"Since when?" I said a little shocked.
"Almost two months... Every time I slept with a mare my mind goes where this specific one is... So I gave up on chasing random females and tried to chase the one that have my heart… but… She's in Canterlot right now and I don't know when she's coming back or if she is even coming back..." He explained. "And I'm not allowed to leave Ponyvile because my job is to look after you and the other girls."
"Why didn't you say so? I bet Celestia would understand that." I said stepping closer to him.
"I know but, put yourself in my hooves for a moment. A royal guard that was assigns to protect two baby dragons and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, asking for his queen to leave his post so he can chase after a mare." He said sitting on his haunches. "This is at LEAST humiliating for me."
He had a point there. I was a warrior too and could understand that his job would be considered a great honor. It was something with vital importance and nothing would justify him leaving.
Next day came and when the sun was out of the horizon a carriage had arrived at my door. I took a letter that Steel Head had wrote and sealed, addressed to some mare called Octavia. I didn't know where she lived but I was going to find her for sure. The trip was really calm and after an hour I was already able to see the palace.
The carriage landed inside the castle, in a special balcony that was design for that. Celestia was waiting for me there already with a soft smile on her face.
"I hope you had a safe trip here" She said getting closer.
"Come, everything is ready, just waiting for you..." She said turning around and walking.
I followed her through the corridors passing in front of many doors and tapestries. Also the castle had several murals and windows that depicted important moments of pony history. We climbed down some stairs behind a locked and very simple door... Down there we went through a long corridor that had no windows. Different from the rest of the castle this corridor didn't have any kind of decoration and the illumination came from several magic orbs floating near the ceiling.
We ended in front of a big double wooden door. It had several runic emblems adorning it and a big lock with a round hole that should be used to fit some kind of key. Celestia insert her horn inside the hole and used her magic... The runes adorning the door shone for a moment and then the door opened revealing a circular room full of shelves with tomes and books. The ceiling was bright like the day, illuminating the entire place. What caught my attention was a table in the opposite side of the door. It was a medium size table with five hay nests. In each nest was a different egg with different patterns of colors.
"You used one of those eggs?" I asked entering the room. The floor had several circles with runes and other strange symbols.
"No, they are alive and the dragons inside are ready to hatch. The only thing missing is a spark of magic to wake them up." She said.
"And why don't you do it?"
"Because its not for me to do it." She said following me inside. "I use them as a test for those that want to enter the special class of magic... to see if a specific unicorn has the talent to be my personal pupil."
"Like Twilight?" I asked looking the eggs more closely.
"They don't eat meat, is that it?" I said.
"I see... Does Spike know any of it?" I asked.
"How long will it take?" I asked getting inside the circle.
"A week... maybe a week and some days... it will depend on how your body adapts itself to the changes... After the growing process is finished you will be able to learn how to fly and your fire breath will be a lot more powerful. But I trust you will be careful with that." She said and stepped back.
"Don't worry princess... You know you can trust me" I said smiling confident, really excited to leave this small body behind.
"See you in a few days..." She said smiling and the circle started to glow. A white bubble appeared around me... It felt so warm in there and suddenly I felt extremely tired. I looked at Celestia one last time through the bubble, and then fell asleep.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"It's a shame that the Princess already took him away... If he kept small he could still go to school" Twilight said and sighed.
She and the girls were in the Spa for a girl's afternoon. Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and even Pinkie Pie were inside a hot tub of water full of herbs.
"Does Rainbow know already why he was taken to the castle?" Rarity asked.
"That's no surprise if yer ask me." Applejack said. "We all know how she feel 'bout Eravel, and still he ran from her like she's sum kind of monster!"
"Don't be so harsh on him dear..." Rarity said. "You know he's passing through a difficult time. You were there when Steel Head said that he spends a whole day trying to walk and how he refused to be carried around, even when he was too tired to stand up."
"Tha's because he's too damn proud!" Applejack snorted. "He knows tha' we wouldn't judge him if he asked fer help... Everypony need help from time to time."
"Says the one who almost killed herself trying to buck all the apple acres alone..." Twilight giggled
"Ah learned mah lesson, ok? He should learn his too!" Applejack crossed her forehoofs.
"Well, I think that now that he's going to get bigger it will be SOOOO much more fun!" Pinkie Pie said with a wide smile. "Now he will be able to stay up till late to enjoy the parties and his stomach will be bigger to eat more cake, and cup cakes, and muffins, and drink punch. I think we should make a HUUUUUGE party for him when he comes back from Canterlot since he didn't get any when he came out of the egg!"
"I don't think that is a good idea..." Twilight said chuckling at how excited her pink friend was. "You know he don't really like parties..."
"OK, OK... But a SMALL party, just for his closes friends" Twilight said in a sight.
"But Pinkie!" Twilight tried to call her friend back. "He will only... come back next week..." Her last words died in a sight since the party pony was already too far to hear anything.
Rarity and Applejack just laughed softly at the scene... Strangely, Fluttershy looked a bit worried with something and remained silent for the whole conversation.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"Hey... look... That dragon forgot this in the carriage." A white royal guard said to his companion, showing him a letter still sealed.
"Does it have an address?" The companion said.
Octavia was in her apartment making the daily maintenance on her Cello. Cleaning the outside of it and checking the strings to see if any of them needed to be changed. A sight escape her and she put her instrument in the case after she was finished. More than a month had passed since she moved to Canterlot. Not that she didn't liked Ponyvile... But the small city was always remembering her of that royal guard that simply tossed her away after she gave her heart to him. She was really in love with that Steel Head and when he turned her down... it was like a hole appeared in her chest that even her music couldn't fill completely.
A knock on her door took her from that meditative state. She trotted to the door and opened it. Her heart sank when she saw a white pegasus with a golden armor standing there. She widened her eyes and stared at the royal guard for a few minutes.
"Good morning miss Octavia." The royal guard said after concluding that the mare was not going to speak first. "I brought this letter from the palace to you." He said giving her the scroll
She blinked a few times, realizing that this colt was not Steel Head... the voice was different and only now she could see that the tail had a different color.
"Ah... ahm, thank you sir..." She said taking the scroll and noticing that it didn't said from whom it was. "Who asked to delivery this for me?" She asked a bit curious.
"It was a guest from princess Celestia. He couldn't bring it here personally, so I took the liberty to make the delivery." He said serious, almost without emotion.
"And may I know who this guest is?" Octavia asked again.
"His name seems to be Erin, and he's a dragon." The royal guard explained. "He can't receive visits at the moment. Come to the castle in a few days and ask for him. I'll make sure that you too meet each other" The royal guard blinked at her and smiled before trotting away.
Octavia didn't understand what he meant with that and got inside the apartment again. She looked at the scroll and didn't notice that the seal had been broken... she simply opened it and scrolled her eyes through the paper.
"Dear Octavia.
After so much time is clear that you probably don't remember me or is still angry... I don't blame you. I know that I deserve your hatred but even if I don't deserve, I ask for forgiveness. I remember you and I remember every single detail of you and the moments we spent together. Those moments were very special to me and they will always be in my memory.
You are the most gentle and caring pony I ever meet. Everypony around you don't have any idea of who you truly is, but I do. You are more than a musician, you are more than a mere performer. You are the most kind mare I ever meet and your music is the way you found to express it. I was able to see past the notes and melodies and reach your core, your soul.
I know I have done horrible things to you, but again, I ask for your forgiveness. I don't deserve it, Celestia knows that I don't, but still I beg you for another chance because you made a hole in my chest when you left and I can't fill this hole without you."
Octavia read the letter and a pair of tears rolled her face. She didn't know who this dragon was… Maybe an anonymous fan? He spoke about the time they spend together... probably he was talking about the times he went to see her play. He also asked for forgiveness... this one was a little confusing but she was going to find out what he meant sooner or later because the gray mare was decided to go see this dragon.
The way he spoke of her and how he knew who she really was... Only one pony did that and was the royal guard back in Ponyvile. She knew what was this hole in the chest he spoke about too... she was feeling the same... Octavia didn't knew this fan, but she was not going to let him down. Not after she knew what was being thrown away by the pony she loved. In a few days she would go to the palace looking for this dragon... give him a chance to fill her own hole that Steel Head left opened.

"What do you mean with special lessons?" Spike asked to Twilight. He was on the library, caring a few books to put them on the right shelves.
"The Princess took Eravel to the castle to make his body grow... to better fit his mental age." She explained, using her magic to grasp a few books and arranging them in a very organized pile. She had just arrived after a whole afternoon with her friends.
"WHAT!" Spike shouted. "You mean, he will be bigger than me?" The purple dragon was visible disappointed with that.
"Yes... why?" Twilight said looking at her assistant with curiosity.
"... Nothing..." Spike said turning his attention to the shelves and books, but he was clearly disappointed.
"Spike..." Twilight said and used her magic to levitate the purple dragon closer to her. "What's wrong? You know you can tell me... I'm your friend" She put him in front of her and lowered her whole body to be at his high.
Spike let out a long sight and then grabbed his own shoulder, looking away from the purple unicorn.
"Is just... I thought I finally found something like a brother to me... you know? A little brother." Spike said still not looking to her. "I know I shouldn't, but sometimes I feel a bit lonely being the only dragon around... and when Eravel turned into one I thought I would finally have some company... Especially with him being so small. But if he is going to grow that means that he will no longer need me... He will probably be with Steel Head and you girls from now on." he said and stared at the floor, feeling really frustrated.
"Spike..." Twilight said an put a hoof under his chin, pulling his face up so he could look at her smiling face. "He WILL need you... especially now that he will get a grown body. He only learned how to walk, but he doesn't have any kind of control over the rest of his body... I even fear that he will get dangerous for his lack of control. That's why you will have special lessons with me from now on." She explained and Spike felt a little better now. "These lessons will involve fire control and other aspects of a dragon that I honestly don't know... I'm gathering all the knowledge about dragons and after I read it all I'll start learning a few more things with you and by he time he returns WE will be ready to teach him. So, don't feel like that. It hurts me when I see you depressed." Twilight said and kissed his forehead.
Spike smiled at her, feeling more energetic now.
"Yeah, you are right. He will need US" He said putting emphasis on the word 'us'.
"Good. Now, let's go... We have a lot to do and a very short time" She said standing up again and focusing her attention on the books, making the pile of books grows.

A/N: Sorry for the delay in posting this chapter. I'm having some problems (for a change ¬¬'') and won't be able to post as fast as I wanted... What kind of problem? Well, the 'mental one... I'm lacking of inspiration to write (I do have the ideas in me but when I try to put it to words it turns to be a problem.)
I kept staring at the ceiling of my room for countless minutes. My mind was spinning around that grim laugh Discord gave... I had a really bad feeling about that... But I would have time to worry about that later. Right now I needed to focus on a simpler task: Get out of my bed and walk.
I pushed toe covers to the side and then lift my upper body. First thing I felt was the weight of my new wings. Closing my eyes to focus a little better, I started to move them slowly... Getting a better grasp of their presence... Stretching them fully I could guess that they had something like 1,2M from the base to the tip. Slowly I moved them as if I wanted to fly and felt a little breeze... Yes, they had the strength to lift me from the ground and make me soar through the sky.
I closed them and then moved out of the bed. When I stood up I completely lost my balance but, instead of falling I crouched and used my hands to support my weight too. This position wasn't that bad... although it was a bit weird when I started to walk on all fours just to test. It was possible, but was something that I would want to avoid doing in public.
I walked to the door and pushed it open, just a crack and peeking outside. No one around... I pushed the door fully open and walked outside. I hadn't an actual destination, so I took my time... step by step until...
As he got closer I noticed that I was only 30cm taller than him while walking on two legs.
"The Princess of the Night wanted to see you as soon as you woke up. Please follow me." He huffed and started walking.
We walked for a few minutes until we finally reached the throne room. The big room had several torches along the walls to illuminate better the place. Through the big windows I could see a dark sky full of stars and a beautiful moon shining. Sitting on the high throne was Princess Luna. The royal guard walked in front of her and bowed. I did the same and heard a chuckle from Luna.
"I don't think I could get used to this..." She said while walking out of the throne and stopped right in front of me smiling.
"Is not a matter of deserving my Princess... I simply think that walking among your subjects suits you a lot more." I said smiling. "And, of course, landing on someone's balcony and almost scaring him to death." I laughed softly and so did her.
"Yes... I remember that you almost jump out of that balcony when we first meet." She said referring to when we first spoke, at the balcony of my three house, when I was still a human.
I could see that the royal guard was still looking at me, but with a frown now. Probably wondering why I was being so relaxed in front of the Princess, but I wasn't going to be bother by him.
"How long did I slept?" I asked to the Princess.
"Oh yes!" I said remembering the letter. "I had to deliver a letter to her... But I think I forgot it on the carriage."
"Octavia..." Luna said scratching her chin. "I think 'Tia said something about a mare called Octavia staying in the castle..."
"Is something wrong Princess Luna?" I asked noticing.
"And why did Celestia did that!? I was going to grow on my own in time! She didn't need to give her life energy away!" If I knew that... I would never let her do the spell...
"Precisely... To give new life to the egg, 'Tia and I had to spend a lot of vital energy... enough to be fatal to any other pony... Most of ponies couldn't notice, but many creatures that can sense the change of energy when I raise the moon and when 'Tia raises the sun, could realize that something was different. And indeed it was… I was the one that gave more energy, since my sister had more duties than I do… You know… Most ponies are awake during the day and she needs to look after them. By the time I had just enough strength to stay awake during the night, and after hiding the moon I needed to enter into a self regenerative trance during the day." She sighed again. "I woke up to discover that Canterlot had almost being taken…"
"Yeah… but still… Almost two weeks to be completely recovered is too much isn't?" I asked.
I lift my arm and hit the door a few times.
"Miss Octavia? Are you awake? It's me, Erin... you wanted to see me?" I said in a soft voice, not wanting to wake her up if she was asleep. After a few seconds I heard movement inside the room...
Octavia pulled me inside the room and threw me on the bed with a strength I didn't know she had.
"shh... you don't need to say anything..." She whispered to me passing a hoof over my chest. Her mane was all messed and she stared at my eyes with a provocative look. I felt her hoof sliding down my chest... reaching my stomach and going further down... between my legs. I felt a shiver going down my spine. "I'll take good care of my number one fan..." she said and attacked me again with another passionate kiss.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Rainbow Dash was walking from one side of the library to the other with a frown. Spike was sitting in a corner following the cyan mare with his eyes. Twilight was laid on a bed made of various pillows, reading a book. Rainbow's steps were constant and showed some kind of impatience...
Rainbow Dash snorted and started to walk again from one side to another.
"Rainbow, have patience... She will tell us when he wakes up and can receive visits..." Twilight said without taking her eyes from the book.
The rainbow maned pegasus reached her house and got inside, letting out a sigh of relief after escaping her friend. From now Rainbow Dash would simply sleep a few hours before fly towards Canterlot. She only did that to Twilight to tease her friend...
First thing in the next morning, Rainbow Dash was already on the air flying to Canterlot. It took her just an hour of flight and she was over the capitol already. She flew close to the castle but with so many windows and rooms it would be impossible to find Eravel there. She decided that it would be wiser to land and go to the front door... but when she was going to pass through the main gate two white royal guards stepped in her way, blocking the passage.
"I'm Rainbow Dash, and I want to see Eravel." She said in a serious tone.
"Shining Armor? What are you doing here?" She asked ignoring the royal guard that she was yelling at. The poor guard sighed in relief and quick got the opportunity to get back to his post, where he was safe.
"I live in the castle with Cadence, did you forget?" He chuckled watching the poor guard still a bit shaky after the confront with Rainbow Dash. "What about you? What are you doing here, attacking one of my guards?"
"I came looking for Eravel. Do you know where he is?" Rainbow explained getting closer to the white unicorn.
With that both trotted inside, going to where Eravel was.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I was still laid in the bed with Octavia hugging me thigh. I almost had no sleep during the entire night. Every time that I tried to leave her bed, she would hug me thigh and hold me down... At the first rays of the morning that came through the window I saw three bottles of hard cider on a table next to the bed. It was a kind of cider that wasn't present at the last festival... this one was really an alcoholic drink, and a strong one... That explained why Octavia simply jumped on me the night before and, thank Odin, passed out before she was able to do anything else. I couldn't refrain the thoughts that if with the 'light' cider I ended up completely drunk and with no memories of the festival, then with this one… I simply shivered at the thought of drinking this 'hard' one.
So, here I am... probably with bags under my eyes and trapped in the same bed with the mare that my best friend loves... I let out a sigh and then shake Octavia lightly to wake her up... It was the fourth time I tried to wake her.
She was laid on her back with a hard blush on her face and a confused look on her eyes.
"Is just... well..." Octavia was trying to explain herself. "I read your letter, and I couldn't stop thinking of your words" She said coming closer to me smiling softly.
"Ahrg! Octavia!" I called her but she was already gone.
I stood on the ground looking at the ceiling... How in the world that happen!?
"Looks like somepony got his tail in a real big problem..." I heard a male voice coming from the door. As I looked over the door I saw a white unicorn stallion.
"What...?" He asked confused, taking a split of a second to realize what I meant. "OH NO! Celestia No! That's not what I meant!" He said making a disgust face.
"I was escorting Rainbow Dash here and saw the whole thing... You really dig your own grave here... two mares at the same time? And one of them is best friend with Celestia's protégé!" He said entering the room and smiling softly... the bastard was making fun of me.
"Who are you?" I arched an eyebrow.
I simply sighed and sat on the edge of the bed... I told Shining armor everything that had happen and how I actually loved Rainbow Dash and how I couldn't face her in my previous helpless form... a baby dragon form. Told him about the letter that I had to deliver to Octavia and how she ended thinking that I was the author.
"You..." He started to say trying to hold the laugh. "..are definitely out of luck!"
"Yeah… maybe you are right…" I said letting out a sight… I could only pray for a chance to actually explain the entire miss understanding.

Rainbow Dash was flying as fast as she could… All she wanted was to reach her home and hide. Hide from the world, from the pain and from herself. Her chest hurt so much that was even hard to breathe… every pump of her heart was a new wave of pain, washing her body like a thousand needles of sorrow. Tears were rolling down her face, blurring her sight. No wonder that she didn't saw a gray pegasus flying towards her and waving.
Derpy's eyes were spinning a little as she was totally stunned from the fall. Rainbow Dash in other hand was already forcing herself to stand up. Her head was still spinning and her wings hurt. She flew from Canterlot to Ponyvile in half the time it usually takes. Now she couldn't even flap her wings to get out of the tree due to her exhaustion. A purple flash caught the attention of the two pegasi.
"Rainbow Dash!? Derpy!? What happen?" It was Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight teleported herself and Rainbow Dash inside the library... The cyan pegasus was still crying on Twilight's shoulder. The purple unicorn only patted her friend on the back, trying to comfort her,
After a few minutes the library door flew open and four mares and one royal guard entered. They all had a really worried expression on their faces and their worry only grew as they saw Rainbow Dash's face all marked with tears.
"Rainbow dear, what happen!?" Rarity said walking closer to her friend, followed by Fluttershy. The yellow pegasus warped one of her wings on Rainbow's back.
"Rainbow... tell them what you told me..." Twilight said to her cyan friend and all the looks turned towards her.
Rainbow Dash wiped her face with a hoof and then started to tell what happen. How she entered the room where Eravel was and saw him with another mare... And by the looks of her and the place they weren't just 'talking'...
"I asked him do deliver a letter to her for me but... I forgot to sign... He made she think HE was the one that wrote the letter! I... I just can't believe this!" He said standing up and stomping hard on the wooden floor. "I can't believe that he stole the mare I love!"
"Maybe is not him?" Applejack spoke. "Y'all remember when he got all crazy and started to attack us? Maybe he's just being controlled again."
"I don't think so" Twilight said "Eravel got control over his chaos; he's no longer a threat for us... There must be some other reason..."
"Yeah? Maybe he didn't drink at all!" Rainbow said still with anger in her voice. "Maybe he made that Octavia drink it all so he could take advantage on her!"
"What?" The cyan pegasus said still angry. Rainbow was going to say something else but Twilight hit the back of her head, making the cyan mare yelp.
"No buts!" Twilight cut her friend again and stared at her. "Rainbow do you realize what you just said about him? The he tricked the mare that his best friend love just to sleep with her! How can you even think of something so... terrible!"
"I agree... let's go see him in Canterlot" Steel Head said.

"I have to admit Eravel..." Discord said "I don't think I EVER saw somepony in so much trouble as you!" He started to laugh, rolling on the grass floor. "This is hilarious!"
We were in the usual green camp with just a few trees... Pink clouds flying slowly through the sky and the sun shining on the horizon, sending white lights of the morning over us.
"I can't believe that you didn't warned me of what was about to happen!" I said angrily at him
I simply face palm at that... He was, definitely, without an inch of doubt, the most ANNOYING creature that I have ever met!
"Damn... earth ponies are really strong..." I said sitting on the grass.
"Not to mention that that... what was the name of that thing again? ... Cello... Was way heavier than I thought it was." I said rubbing my head. "I never thought that Octavia would come to the extreme as to break her cello in my head!"
"Don't forget that she broke the cello on your head and THAT tossed you out of her balcony!" Discord said laughing.

Few hours earlier:
Octavia was in her balcony... Her front side of her body erected as she played a sad tune on her instrument, bathing herself on the light of the sunset... She had shed many tears since she came back and when her eyes couldn't cry anymore, she used her music to express her sadness... Five floors below, Shining Armor and Eravel were listening at her music... that part of Canterlot was a lot more quiet than the rest, especially at that hour of the afternoon, so, they didn't had any problem to hear her play.
"You sure about this Eravel?" Shining armor said a bit unsure.
He landed without making a single noise, and stood there watching as the gray mare played her instrument. She was playing the last notes and had her eyes closed, to have a better feeling of each tune... her hooves traveling through the strings with mastery and perfection.
"YOU! What do you want here!?" Octavia hissed… her sadness turning into anger.
"I just want to talk to you..." The dragon said smiling softly. Octavia simply stared at him.
"Sorry Octavia, but I can't..." Eravel said. "You MUST hear what I have to say!"
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Present time.
First thing I felt was an extreme pain at the side of my head. It took me a few seconds to have a full grasp of my surroundings... I was laid in a soft bed and, after opening my eyes, I could see that I was in one of the royal hospital room. Slowly I started to sit up and rubbed the side of my head. I felt a few bandages around it... I just hoped that Discord had said the truth about not having any permanent damage.
First things first, I went to the bathroom to take care of some natural necessities and then started to walk over the room's door. I was a bit worry about how long I had slept there. When I was about to reach the door, it flew open, hitting me right in the face and making me fall hard on the ground. My head was spinning and I could hear many voices echoing, like I was in some kind of cave. I could only see blurs... very colorful blurs.
"...-vel? Eravel! Are you ok?" I recognized the voice calling me, it was Twilight sparkle.
My vision started to come back to normal and in front of me I saw Twilight and the others... Even Rainbow Dash... But she was behind all the others and didn't looked like she was happy in see me.
"Uhg... kind of..." I said still recovering myself. "I'm still alive, if that what you meant."
"Heh... sorry..." She said a little embarrassed and used her magic to help me stand up.
All the other girls left the room and I walked towards the bed, climbing on it and resting my back against the pillow. I really had to lie down after the hit I took from the door. Rainbow Dash closed the door and walked near the bed, standing right next to me.
"I can't say it was easy to stay away from you... and the motive was because I couldn't look you in the eyes the same way I did before. I didn't felt worthy of staying with you."
She arched an eyebrow in confusion and I kept talking.
"Seriously! I meet with Pinkie Pie like, every day and even when she's being... you know... Pinkie Pie, the things she says don't come even closer to all this nonsense you just spoke of. Did you really think I was going to reject you for having another body? Like… as if it was YOUR fault?" She sounded more annoyed than before.
I pressed my body against Rainbow while my tongue started to move against hers... I simply didn't care about anything else anymore... I just wanted to be with her. My hands started to caress her body... one hand on her mane and the other slowly reaching down to her flank. I could feel a warmth in my crotch as our body rubbed against one another.
I let out a muffled moan when her body pressed against mine and I felt her belly rubbing against the tip of my cock. Dash probably felt it too because she broke the kiss and moved her body an inch away from mine. She looked down and blushed heavily when she saw my length growing and coming out of an almost invisible crack I had between my legs. I felt my face burning a little too… It would be the first time I had ever been with a woman… or in this case, a pony…
"R-Rainbow….I…" I started but she kissed me lightly on the lips, as a sign that I didn't need to say a thing.
My whole body tensed when she moved a hood over my length, caressing and rubbing it softly. This new 'member' was far more sensitive than my human one… probably because as a human, this part of my body was always exposed and now, as a dragon, it kept well cover inside my body.
She kept passing a hoof over my cock, sending strong waves of pleasure to my brain. A soft moan escaped my mouth and I closed my eyes… I felt she coming closer and biting my neck, rubbing her teeth softly at me scales. My whole body squirmed at that and I heard Rainbow giggling softly.
I chuckled lightly and moved forward, kissing her. I moved my hand over her body, going down her belly… her body tensed when I approached my fingers for her most intimate parts. I made a small pause… rubbing a finger right above her slit… and then finally moved the rest of my hand over her genitalia. She gasped when I pressed a finger between her labia and started to caress…
As I felt her getting wet I moved my finger over a curious bulb she had at the front edge of her slit. When I pressed a finger over it she let out a soft moan and closed her eyes. I kept rubbing that spot, watching closely at her reactions… Her eyes closed… her heavy breath… her lightly red cheeks… Everything on her was beautiful.
She suddenly pushed me, making me roll and face the ceiling. She quickly mounted me, pressing her slit over my length, pressing it against my lower belly… I looked her in the eyes and saw everything that I could have wish in a woman… mare… whatever!
"Nervous…?" She whispered to me.
Rainbow started to mover her body up and down…. Slowly at first, but quickly picking up a good rhythm. Each movement was a new jolt of pleasure that hit me… Soon I caught my own hips moving against her in involuntary spasms… I was panting hard… my hands grabbed her hips as I helped her move.
I increased the speed of my thrusts to the point when Rainbow simply couldn't move her hips down again. I heard her calling for me and resting her forehoofs on my chest… An over whelming pleasure filled my brain when I simply could not hold back a climax. Our voices joined in a unison cry of pleasure and I simply couldn't hold back a ball of fire that erupted from my throat and hit the ceiling, leaving dark marks on it…
We rolled to the side and I embraced her, kissing her fore head... I stood there, right next to Rainbow Dash… Just enjoying the afterglow of the best experience in my life… We both were still panting, smiling to each other.
We simply embraced each other and soon I realized that she had fallen asleep. I relaxed and let my mind wander… nothing specific… The last thing that crossed my mind before I finally fell asleep too was "Stay away from my thoughts Discord…"
I woke up with someone moving right next to me. As I opened my eyes I was face to face with Rainbow Dash. She looked me in the eyes and smiled…. I couldn't help but smile too… the memories of hours before coming to my mind… or the day before… maybe minutes? I didn't know how much time passed and I didn't really care.
"It wasn't a dream was it?" I asked smiling…. Rainbow Dash simply pointed up, showing the brunt mark on the ceiling and I chuckled.
"By the way… what happened to your head?" She asked looking at the bandages.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"...You broke your cello on Eravel's Head!?" Steel Head said with his jaw open.
The royal guard and Octavia where on a coffee, drinking and talking to each other.
"I know I went a little over border... but at the time I was so mad at him that I didn't really think before acting!" She said blushing a little. "B-But that's not what we came here to discuss" She said trying to change the topic.
"Yeah... I guess so." Steel Head sighed lightly.
Octavia stood in silence for a minute, while thinking.
"So... I think it's for the best that I leave you alone then." He said standing up.
Steel Head looked at her, perking his ears and she continued.
"In respect of your friend and... as an apology for almost killing him, I'll give you a chance." She said and smiled softly.
"Excuse me" A male voice called both, making them break the kiss... It was the attendant of the coffee. "I'll have to ask for you two to behave in front of our other clients" He said serious... Octavia and Steel Head saw all the other ponies staring at the scene...

Steel Head looked at her, perking his ears and she continued.
"In respect of your friend and... as an apology for almost killing him, I'll give you a chance." She said and smiled softly.
"Excuse me" A male voice called both, making them break the kiss... It was the attendant of the coffee. "I'll have to ask for you two to behave in front of our other clients" He said serious... Octavia and Steel Head saw all the other ponies staring at the scene...

A/N: Its funny how some times the story seems to be alive and you, as a writer, only put it all in words. Well, this chapter was like this... I hope you all enjoy! Also, don't forget to comment. I like to read comments ^^
"Do not force your wings..." Rainbow Dash almost yelled to outmatch the sound of the wind. "...Stretch them, but do not force! Find a way to make the wind help you!"
A week had passed since I left the hospital… During the morning I had flight classes with Rainbow Dash and during the afternoon and part of the night I had classes with Twilight Sparkle and Spike... Both were suppose to teach me about fire control and other things that anyone needed to know at my age... such as grammar and a little of history... or at least was the initial intention. And at night, I always returned to my home... the tree house that I shared with Steel Head... He didn't like to be left alone there.
Rainbow Dash flew under me really fast, making my flight unstable and I struggle a bit to recover the control. My heart was beating extremely fast by the scary she just gave me.
I did the same and felt my speed increasing while diving to the ground. I felt a chill in my guts... That would be far more terrifying if I didn't had wings or if Rainbow Dash wasn't by my side.
"Stretch your wings and tilt them up at my sign!"Rainbow said as she closed her wings a little more to increase her speed... I did the same and followed her. The wind on my face got stronger and the ground was starting to get closer and closer... My heart was beating so fast and hard that I feared that it would simply explode!
"NOW!" I heard Rainbow shouting and I stretched my wings fully, tilting them up just a little. It made me brutally change the trajectory. I felt my internal organs being pulled down by gravity as the rest of my body started to go up, to the sky. A rush of adrenaline bathed my whole body and it was one of the best feelings in the world.
I tilted my body to the side and started to descend too... A strong flap of my wings to hold my body in the air before I finally made contact to the ground, landing on all fours.
"You are getting better by the day" Rainbow said coming closer to me and I stood up in two legs.
"And you are totally right!" She said, stuffing her chest with pride. "The only thing is that you should do it a little more naturally, you know? When you fly I can see that you are trying to control every part of your body and that makes harder to pay attention to your surroundings."
"So what do you recommend me to do?" I crossed my arms.
She came closer to me and then kissed me softly...
"You could come sleep at my place tonight... what you think?" She said smiling with her face really close to mine.
"An' right when it was getting good too!" Apple Bloom Said frowning at her friend too.
"What the hay?" Rainbow Dash frowned. "Why are you girls spying on me and Eravel?" The cyan pegasus said a bit angry... her cheeks lightly red from embarrassment from being caught. It was funny how she still wanted to keep her fame as a 'thought' girl.
"We were trying to get our cute marks as spies!" "Sweetie Belle said jumping out of the bush.
Rainbow Dash snorted angrily at them and I simply chuckled at the scene. Coming closer to the cyan pegasus I rubbed her mane softly.
"S-shut up!" She said looking at me really embarrassed.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
After taking my lunch with Rainbow I flew over Twilight's place. As usual, she was expecting me with a frown.
"You are 5 minutes late Eravel." She said when I landed near her.
"But of course I am! You need to learn how to be assertive!" She said starting to walk inside her home.
"Yeap..." I nodded.
"WILL YOU BOTH STOP TALKING AS IF I'M NOT HERE?" Twilight shouted and Spike jumped on my arms in startle. "By Celestia! I must be paying for my sins having to endure you two!" She grumbled and walked towards a pile of books.
I let Spike down and then we both walked towards Twilight. She pulled a blackboard and started to make some schematics based in a book.
"So... continuing from where we stopped yesterday, this is the basic schematics of how the pegasi arrange the clouds to make rain. As you two can see here, they use the natural behavior of the clouds to make them...-"
"I guess so..." He whispered back to me. Twilight was too busy concentrating on her own explanations to realize that we were talking.
"BECAUSE!" Me and spike jumped in startle as Twilight shouted. She didn't look very happy. "Because these knowledge is important when you go flying around!" She cleared her throat. "So... As I was saying... when you see a cloud that is not pure white, be careful. That means that that clout is heavier than the other and contains lightning on it. If you hit it too hard, the clout will liberate the lighting towards the ground. But be warned! If you hit this specific cloud from below you will be struck by the lighting!"
I raised my hand, interrupting her... she rolled her eyes annoyed.
"Ok, Ok..." Twilight snorted and cleared the black board before walking towards her back door.
"This will prevent any incident." She said and looked at us. "Well... I didn't find much about dragons on the library but with what I found I developed few theories... First, you both have different kind of breaths. Spike is a magic dragon, so he can breathe green magic flames. They don't necessary act as flames... it is more like a unicorn using magic. We can use our energy for various kinds of magic just like Spike's breath..."
"Precisely..." Twilight smiled at his assistant "but you are still too young to make complex things with it, so, I will teach you how to actually make your fire act like real fire… and help you control it better to avoid you burning down things when you sneeze." She send him a stern look and he blushed lightly.
Spike stepped forward eagerly to start... he stared the target in front of him and breathed deeply, holding the air on his lungs for a few seconds before finally unleashing... a burp and a tiny green flame. From the flame a letter with the royal seal fell on the ground and Twilight unrolled the scroll, passing her eyes through the paper and arching an eyebrow.
"Aww... damn…." Spike said sighing.
"Wow... that was amazing!" Spike said looking at the spot where the target was.
"Heh... thanks..." I said smiling at him and sitting on the ground. "But that was really exhausting!"
"Well... I guess so..." He said still a bit insecure. "Let's keep training then!" He said cheering up a little.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
It is funny how times fly when you are with the person that you love. By my counts, almost two months had passed already since me and Dash got together. Every day my love for her grew... Of course we couldn't let our relationship go public... I don't think that these ponies are ready to be so acceptable as to not judge Rainbow Dash for date, not only a dragon, but a young teenager dragon... But even like that, I was happy…. More than anything I was happy to have friends, to be able to love and be loved back.
"Very happy aren't we…?" I heard Discord's voice in the dark.
"What… why are you here?" I asked as I looked around me and saw that I was floating in an ocean of darkness.
"Oh nothing important…" he chuckled. "Just came here to say that you don't need to worry, Rainbow Dash is ok… just a few bruises, but she will be fine."
I simply stared at him in confusion.
"Oh, how silly me." He said laughing softly. "Of course you don't know what's going on... it happened before you could have done anything…. Here, let me refresh your memory." He said coming closer to me and pressing a claw against my fore head.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Eravel was under Rainbow Dash… both panting and enjoying that afterglow of a climax. She lay down on his chest and he hugged her thigh, kissing her forehead. No words were needed to be said there, only an exchange of looks was enough. He moved his head towards her and kissed the cyan pegasus… She kissed him back and then rested her head against his chest again.
"You should come live with me…" She said finally. "You know… like, permanently… not some overnights."
"He still is worried about Octavia?" She asked
"Yeah... but still..." I caressed her mane. "I really hope she don't turn him down... that would brake him in ways he wouldn't be able to recover so soon."
Suddenly both heard a thundering roar echoing through the sky. Rainbow Dash felt a shiver don her spine with that and Eravel quickly lift his upper body.
"What the hay was that!?" Rainbow Dash said jumping out of the cloud bed and rushing to the window to see what was that.
Against the orange light of the sunset, a huge shadow was approaching fast and that form... it was no doubt... A full grown dragon was coming closer and closer to her house. Eravel saw that too and without a hint of doubt he jumped out of the window, spreading his wing… he stood flying in place and roared at the adult dragon, trying to send a message for him not to get any closer... Compared to the thundering voice of the adult, Eravel had nothing but a tiny and even funny roar.
The adult dragon roared again, and Eravel felt that as a threat... something at the back of his mind recognized the sound as something familiar... and at the same time something to be feared. In a desperate attempt to keep the full grown dragon from reaching Dash's house he started to focus his energy... gathering power in some point near his stomach. When he was at its limit he threw the bigger fire ball he had ever managed to pull.
The ball flew fast and hit right on the adult dragon's face... but it simply vanished with no effect at all. The adult then opened his mouth and Eravel saw a huge amount of fire coming from it. It was something that he never saw on his life! The teenager dragon flew inside the house and grabbed Rainbow Dash, crossind the room and got out from another window. He barely managed to take the cyan pegasus out and the huge ball of fire hit the house.
From the scrambles of the cloud house, the adult dragon appeared. Rainbow Dash, filled with rage, flew towards the adult dragon. Eravel flew right after her... The full grown dragon opened its jaws and breathed a cone of fire towards the cyan pegasus. The teenager dragon reached her just in time as he grabbed Rainbow's tail and pulled as hard as he could to the side, sending her spinning towards a cloud that was still floating. On the cloud was what was left of her wardrobe and the pegasus body smashed against it. The next second the cone of flames hit Eravel. He felt like a thousand burning fists had hit him at the same time… the small dragon started to fall, unconscious.
Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, groaning in pain... she saw Eravel falling with many brunt marks all over. The adult dragon grabbed his body and then started to fly away... The cyan pegasus stood up and tried to fly, but soft cry of pain escaped her mouth as she found that one of her wings was damaged. She could only watch as the teenager dragon was taken away from her... and she could do nothing to prevent it.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A groan escaped my mouth as I felt a light rush of pain through my body. It was like I had received a hell of a beating. As I rolled, trying to stand up, I felt that I was in some kind of hay bed... that was probably why my body was hurting so much and..- Wait a second... I don't have a hay bed!
I shoot my eyes open and looked around me. It was a dark cave... All the light came from the big entrance and aside that, there was nothing else illuminating the place. The memories of the talk with Discord and what had happen with Rainbow Dash hit me like a rock, and my gut was instantly filled with fear of the worst.
I felt something nuzzling my neck... Making me jump on my feet in startle... Right there, what I swore was just a rock, was the biggest creature I ever saw... A dragon with blue and green scales... It could gobble me in a single bite if it wanted... but despite that terrifying look, the dragon had a smile while looking at me... not a grin or a vicious smile... but a tender one... like it cared a lot about me.

A/N: So… here we have! Another piece of my deviations… next chapter is already being written. As always, I want to know what crossed your mind after reading this… Was it good? Was it bad? You want to punch me in the face or maybe give me a cake?
Anyway, hope to see the opinions of those who waste their precious time reading this ^^
Rainbow Dash started to open her eyes slowly... she could feel a soft bed under her and there was a few colorful blurs around her. She closed her eyes with a groan and started to sit in the bed, rubbing her head. It was obvious that she was in a hospital room.
"What happen...? Where am I?" She said not quite sure of how she ended up there.
As the cyan pegasus woke up and started to move, her friends that were gathered around her bed felt a lot more relaxed.
"We... we were attacked." She said letting her fore hoofs fall limp on the bed.
"Don't worry..." Twilight said passing hoof over her shoulder. "Dragons are very resistant to fire... He was just unconscious..."
"And how in tarnation did she saw him in first place?" Applejack arched an eyebrow.
"Agreed with Twilight." Rainbow Dash said stepping out of the bed. "What we need to know is go where he is and get him back!"
"I agree..." Twilight spoke "We should contact the Princess about this..."
"Let's go then!" Pinkie Pie chirped "A great adventure in the land of the dragons!"
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
My breath was heavy and my heart pounding fast... I never had the opportunity to try run in all fours but this was proving to be quite useful as I was obvious faster than a biped. Right after me was three smaller dragons with sharp teeth... All of them trying to take a bite of me.
The place where I was resembled a wasteland. Rivers of magma coming from the mouth of huge volcanoes... hardly any plant around... lakes of boiling water and deposit of gems around them... Despite all that there were many dragons living here, like it was some kind of paradise for all of them.
"Why don't you stop and play with your brothers?" The female green and blue dragon spoke, walking right next to me... she didn't need to run to keep up with my speed.
"I'm not your son! For Odin's sake, leave me alone!" I shouted and started to fly away from her as fast as I could.
I held my breath as much as I could and then emerged grasping for air. Some drops ended in my throat making me choke a little... but at least I was free from that crazy female for while. I sighed and then got out of the water... I needed to find a better place to hide before she came back. It was weird how most of dragons over there lived. I always imagined dragons as lonesome creatures... feral beasts ready to slaughter anyone that came too close... But I found out that they were very social with one another.
This was some kind of paradise for the new born and young dragons. They came here every few centuries to lay their eggs and take care of the children until they were old enough to start traveling with their parents. Every dragon worked with the other to raise the cubs and all the cubs always played together. And that was one of the problems. I was considered something between a cub and a teenager dragon, and that means that I was suppose to watch all the newborns with my 'mother' and 'play' with them too… as a chew toy if needed… But, despite that cooperative nature, fights and violent 'games' was something very common here… especially among the teenagers and other young males.
After a while, I finally found a nice spot to hide from that crazy dragoness and to rest in peace. It was some kind of crack on the ground that she would never fit in... I jumped inside and breathed in relief... I was just going to wait till it was dark so I could eat some gems, drink some water and then come back here to keep hiding.
"Hiding from mom?" A male voice came from behind me making me jump in startle. Behind me was a male young dragon with blue scales, a little smaller than a full grown. He had just enough size so his head and long neck could fit in the crack I was hiding… the rest of his body was outside.
"She is NOT my mother... and don't startle me like that! Damn!" I said with a hand over my chest, trying to avoid my heart from breaking my ribs and jumping out of my body.
The blue dragon laughed softly at me and got closer.
"Your mother? You mean... that this body was supposed to be your brother... right?" I said feeling a bit guilty now... I mean, I was wearing his brother's body as my own.
"Yeah, but don't worry about it." He said smiling softly. "I know you are not to be blamed for what happen... I mean, this kind of thing happens, and it's no one's fault at all."
"Yeah... I guess so..." I scratched the back of my neck. "But... wait a second... why are you so... docile?"
"Ok... At least I know that Rainbow is not really hurt." I said with a sigh... "By the way, what is your name?"
"My pleasure." he said bowing his head a little. "So... you know sooner or later she will find you here right? And that she will easily thorn this crack open to reach you."
"Well... maybe..." He had a point there... If I started to socialize with them, when the ponies... or whoever the princesses choose to send after me... arrived, I could simply talk my way out. This idea was a lot more attractive than simply hide for Odin's know how much time...
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The royal sisters were in the throne room... both wearing a frown of worry while looking at the seven ponies in front of them. Their concern only grew as these ponies kept talking their tale about an event that didn't happen in more than a millennium... A dragon attacking a pony.
Many years ago, when Celestia parents were still alive, the elder sister was sent to deal with a threat at the borders of Equestria. Dragons attacking villages and hunting the inhabitants to feed themselves...
After days of trying to convince the dragons to stop, Celestia didn't saw alternative but the use of force. It was the first time she ever needed to use her power for violence. Those days when she banished the dragons from the borders still haunted the memories of the Sun Goddess... And now she feared that, once more, her wrath would need to be unleashed.
"So, the dragon just took Eravel?" Luna spoke. That make Celestia come back to reality and stop wandering in her memories.
"Hunf! After almost turning me into ashes?" Rainbow said frowning "I doubt!"
"Denied." Celestia said, making Steel Head look at her in disbelief.
"And don't you forget about me!" Rainbow Dash stepped forward. "I maybe not at my top form, but don't think even for a second that I'll let you go without me!"
With all said, the bearers of the elements returned to Ponyvile to get ready for the trip. Steel head went to Canterlot's barracks, to get himself ready. Everypony were really excited and at the same, apprehensive with the travel they were about to make.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
That night, Steel Head went to the capitol's coffee... He was without his armor, just wanting to relax... A simple meal of daisy sandwich and a big cup coffee with milk was making him company...
"You look kind of lonely here..." he heard a female voice behind him.
"Are you just going to stare me or are you going to invite me to sit?" She chuckled.
"Well... why don't you come to my place?" Octavia said. "You can shower there..."
As he walked to her bathroom he noticed that her house was impeccable as ever... not a single speck of dust was visible... even the plants looked like they were arranged to be perfect. The white pegasus, closed the door and stepped into the shower... he was trying not to over-think about this situation, but it was kind of impossible... Octavia was about to give him the answer, after a moth of silence... she was finally going to let him know what was passing through her mind.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the gray mare playing her Cello... probably she had bought a new one... after all, the old one had been smashed against Eravel's head. It was a slow melody... something he never heard in his life... it was like she was using her heart to play the strings. It had a really personal touch.
He finished the bath and then stepped outside. After drying his coat and mane, he went to the living room where Octavia was still playing. Steel head simply sat there, watching the love of his life playing... His heart was beating in the slow rhythm of the song... she really had a special talent for that.
When she finished playing, he slowly clapped his hoofs, smiling tenderly to her.
"It was beautiful..." he said standing up and getting closer to her.
"I'm glad you liked it... it is something original from me... I made during this month." She answered and stepped closer to him.
"Steel..." Octavia said and sighed lightly, gathering courage. "I've been thinking during all this time we were apart... At first I thought that my answer would be simple. A very simple and clear NO."
Suddenly, the whole building was shaken when the entire front wall crumbled. Steel head looked through where the wall was supposed to be and saw a huge dark Dragon staring at him... The dragon opened his mouth and then a hellish fire erupted in a wave of destruction. The white pegasus felt the immense heat hitting him and then... he felt nothing else.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A/N: Here you go… hope you guys enjoyed this one… about the song Octavia was playing, search for "Nearer My God to Thee (for 9 cellos) – ThePianoGuys"… That was the music that I was listening at the moment.
Steel Head saw that wave of fire approaching... the heat was like the hell gates had opened right in front of him. He only got a slit of second to look to his side and see Octavia being engulfed by flames and then...
The royal guard felt the hard wooden floor against his face. He opened his eyes looking around, slowly grasping the real world. He had half fallen from his bed and was in a really awkward position. He was face planted against the wooden floor while his flank was still on the bed.
The bed was a simple bunker bed, just like any other bed in the small rooms of the royal barracks. With a groan, the white pegasus got out of his bed and stood up. His heart was still racing and his coat was all covered in sweat. That was probably the worst nightmare he ever had in years... and it made something clear to him.
Like a shooting star, the royal guard flew through Canterlot, reaching the residential area of the capitol. Silent as a ghost, he started to descend and landed in a balcony. He walked as silent as he could and knocked lightly on the glass door. A few seconds without any answer from the resident and Steel head knocked again. This time, a dark silhouette moved inside, reaching the glass door and opening it.
"Steel...? what the hey are you doing here at this time!?" She said and let out a yawn.
"Land of... what?" Octavia was very awake now. "Why are going there?"
Steel head never felt so light before... so... focused in a task. Go to the land of the dragons, get Eravel back without dying and live happy ever after with Octavia... It seemed simply enough and with Luna by his side, what could go wrong?.
As he was approaching the barracks to get a few more hours of sleep, Steel head caught something moving from the corner of his eye. He stopped in the air, just floating while looking around... there was nothing. Maybe it was just his imagination?
He simple shrugged and turned to finish his flight... When he turned, the royal guard found himself face to face with a huge dark blue dragon. The dragon had a pair of ethereal wings... something hat resembled Princess Luna's mane and tail. The eyes of the beast were bright yellow and to stare on them was almost like stare on Princess Celestia's eyes. You could feel the wisdom that could only be achieved through the ages...
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"You are joking... right?" I said looking at Discord. He just laughed softly. We both were in the usual scenario... A green planice, with a few trees here and there... Blues sky with pink clouds floating around and the sun was high in the sky.
"But I can't believe that..." I said still very shocked. "I mean... to use me like a bite... they all will be walking straight into a trap!"
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Luna, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Twilight were all gathered next to a dark blue carriage with four pegasi attached to it. The pegasi where royal guards, but they were part of Luna's royal guards. Their coat was of a dark blue and their eyes were yellow, just like a cat. All of them wore dark armors and had bat like wings... They surely looked a lot more intimidating than Celestia's guards.
"Where the hay is that pegasus?" Rainbow Dash snorted. Steel head was really late and the mares were starting to lose their patience.
"I'm sure he has a good explanation... let's just wait a little bit longer." Twilight sighed. Spike was on her back, sharing that feeling of impatience... The safety of his 'brother' was at risk and they shouldn't be wasting any more time!
Everypony was gathered near the train station... and and it was starting to gather a lot of attention from the civilians. Luna wasn't exactly the most popular princess among their subjects. They all knew that she had come back, but many didn't had the chance to even look at her.
After just a few more minutes, a white pegasus wearing a golden armor and carrying something on his back, landed near the group.
"Sorry for being late!" Steel Head said panting.
"So... why did you got so late?" Spike asked to the royal guard.
Those were long objects, all warped in cloth. Spike started to unfold the cloth and his eyes filled with comprehension. There, he could see the two objects that Eravel liked most: His sword and his axe.
"I think it was a bad idea to bring these..." Twilight said. "I remember what it is like when Eravel use these weapons... And let's say that it tends to get pretty... messy."
"Well... what if we need him to use them?" Steel asked, trying to defend himself.
Rainbow Dash didn't agree to that... she almost died twice because of those weapons and she hated to even think of Eravel going out of control. It was impressive that he once defeated a Hydra, but she well remembered that he almost died there. Dragons where not like hydras... they were far more powerful. Not only that, they wouldn't be anywhere near a hospital... And she didn't exactly trusted Luna's healing powers. The Princess of the Night was an alicorn, more powerful than any other pony, except from her sister... but she didn't had the knowledge that a medic unicorn had.
Aside from that initial disagreement, the rest of the trip was quite peaceful. They had to stop when the night arrived and set out a camp. Luna didn't seem very pleased seeing everypony going to sleep after she had risen the moon... This was something that she never really accepted well and watching her own guards going to sleep too was very... disappointing.
Twilight saw that and walked near the Princess of the Night.
"I thank you for your concern, but it is rather strange for the Princess of the Night sleep right after she had risen the moon and lighted the stars..." Luna said a bit cold.
Luna just let out a sigh.
"You are right Twilight Sparkle... but that don't make it any easier." Luna said laying on the grass end closing her eyes to sleep. Twilight approached the princess and laid right next to her... almost as if she was comforting her friend.
A few hours later, Steel Head opened his eyes and checked if everypony was still sleeping... Not a single movement from his companions. A few more minutes passed and, when he was 100% sure that nopony was going to wake, the white pegasus stood up and walked away in silence.
He didn't wandered too far though... Only enough so nopony could hear him or see him. Once he was out of sight, Steel head opened hi mouth and let out an almost inaudible screech. That sound was almost immediately answered and a brown pegasus landed in front of Steel Head. The new pegasus was hiding in a cloud and had followed the group almost the entire trip.
"I need you to go and report." Said Steel Head in a serious tone. "Celestia is not coming, her sister Luna is. Far as I observed, Luna is more impulsive than her elder sister and can be very dangerous."
The brown pegasus nodded. And then spoke.
"Apply this to the blades... and make sure the the sword is still working... If we want Celestia here, the sword if the fastest way to summon her."
As the sun rose on the horizon, Luna started to wake up everypony to finish the trip. They where only a few hours from their destination now... And each second their apprehension grew more and more. The group didn't had a clue of what they would find once they got there and could only hope for the best.
The ground under them started to quickly change from a the green grass to the reddish dirt. The air started to get hotter and was a little difficult to breath. They all were forced to land and continue the trip on foot. Soon enough, they started to see smoke coming from the mouth of very active volcanoes. Rivers of magma coming from them... the heat there was really intense for a pony that is used to lower temperatures.
"Bah'Celestia!" Applejack said taking her stetson off. "How can anypony endure this heat?"
"Thanks Twi." Apple jack said letting out a sigh of relief.
The others followed the princess in silence. Every step they took the landscape looked more and more inhospitable... it was then that they saw a small winged crature, flying at it's top speed towards them. The creature started to approach fast and soon they could see Eravel screaming something.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The plan was simple... I only had to sneak out and run to where discord had indicated me, find the group that came to rescue me and then leave... But of course that luck wasn't on my side. No sir... I HAD to stumble on a loose rock while sneaking on the ground, where I was going to attract less attention... and the rock had to roll down the hill and land right into the tail of an older red dragon.
Let's just say that if one teenager dragon enraged is bad... six more are six time worst! I was flying for my life now... almost literally. I knew I wasn't going to die... maybe they would just beat me senseless... but in the end my "mother" would find me and then bad thing would happen.
I looked back for an instant and saw that the others were still chasing me. I breathed deep... filling my lungs with air... the ground was getting closer and closer... the wind was hitting my eyes and making me shed some tears... when I was close enough to the ground I spread my wings, tilting them in 30º. I felt all my joints hurt when my whole body suddenly change from a 90º fall to a horizontal flight. All the speed I had gathered in the fall was now pushing me forward so fast that If something appeared in front of me I would certainly collide. Behind me I heard the sound of three of them hitting the ground, just like I did so many times until I finally perfect this stunt.
Then I heard... the worst thing ever... A thundering roar that I recognized as my 'self proclaimed mother'. I felt a chill down my spine and the urge to speed up. I had to reach the group that was send to rescue me and then flee!
At a distance I saw them... A group of six ponies and a baby dragon. I dove to the ground, and started to scream at top of my lungs.
It was then I felt something hit my back, sending me to the ground. I hit the floor and rolled a few times before stop. My head was spinning and someone was laughing hard at me... It was three teenager dragons that were chasing me.
"Eravel!" I heard Rainbow Dash yelling and then I felt her hooves around my head... softly pulling up to look at me. "Oh my gosh... you are not hurt are you?" She said full of worry.
"I'm ok... I think..." I said coughing lightly and then standing up.
The cyan pegasus glared at the three teenager dragons... Her stare was almost so strong as Fluttershy's.
"We got to get out of here... now!" I said grabbing her wing and pulling towards the rest of the group.
The three of them opened their mouths and let out a blast of flames. I jumped in front of RD and spread my wings, embracing her to protect her fragile body from the flames. I hear the flames hitting something... but felt nothing. Behind me was a dark blue energy and walking towards us was Lune with her horn glowing.
"BEGONE DRAGONS!" She shouted in her royal voice and the three dragons flinched at it. "WE SHALL NOT LET ANY HARM FALL OVER OURS SUBJECTS!"
It happen so fast that no one had the chance to properly react. A cone of blue flames fell over Luna's body, turning her into stone. Right next to our group, a mighty blue dragon landed... he had ethereal wings that resembled Luna's mane and tail... his whole body was even bigger than my 'mother'. He was truly a Behemoth.
The two dark royal guards charged against the dragon but he simply used the flames against them, turning both into stone too. Their heavy bodies fell on the ground but to our relief they did not shattered.
"ERAVEL!" I heard a male voice. I looked back at the group of ponies and saw Steel Head. He flew towards me, carrying something on his hooves. One of the teenager dragons threw a ball of fire against him. He was too far away for me to intercept the projectile... I had to watch him being hit by the flames and fall.
His body hit the floor and rolled several times, full of brunt marks. Me and Dash hurried to help him but he was unconscious. I grabbed the package that was near him and unfold the objects all covered in cloth. The idiot had brought me my weapons... As If I could take a dragon of that size on my own... But at least now I could provide enough time for them to escape.
"Hey look at that... the vermin has a marefriend!" One of the dragon shouted and the three started to laugh hard.
"Under my dead body!" I roared and unsheathe my sword.
My axe and my sword in my hands again. It felt like ages since I last used them... I just hoped that I still remembered how to do it properly... AND that the blades where in good shape.
The first dragon charged in, swinging his arms against my head. I crouched to dodge his claws and my sword meet his stomach. I heard him gasping for air and falling to the side.
The other two charged at me at the same time. The second teenager opened his wings and the third threw a fire ball against me. I jumped to dodge the flames but the second was waiting for me in the air. He kicked me right in the face, sending me to the ground.
I rolled to the side, recovering my breath... right in time to crouch and dodge another fire ball. I threw a fire ball against the second that was in the air... and he dodged. Bu that gave me enough time to reach the third and his him on the side of his head with my axe. The third dragon fell to the side unconscious and I turned to face the last one.
The second teenager threw a cone of fire against me and I countered with my own breath of fire. Both flames colliding against each other and making a big flash. The remain teenager took advantage of that and charged against me. He hit my stomach with his head and sand me rolling a few times on the ground. When I was about to stand up he landed on my chest and opened his mouth. I saw the flames forming to hit me right in the face.
"Leave'im alone yer overgrown lizard!" I heard Applejack's voice.
The dragon looked at the side right in time to her buck approaching. Her powerful hind hooves hit him right on the face and the dragon landed on his back, unconscious too.
"Thanks AJ!" I said standing up.
"Did Twilight wrote to the Princess?" I asked.
At that moment I felt something burning inside my chest... Burning like a thousand suns. And I embraced that fire.
"It's been a while..." I heard a voice inside my mind.
His mouth opened and a cone of blue flames came towards me. I spun in the air dodging the flames but he hit the side of my body with his hand. The ground started to approach fast but something held me right before I could land. A coat of white magic was surrounding my whole body and I was gently placed on the ground.
The fire in my chest wasn't so strong anymore either... I saw the dragon looking up and when I looked on the same direction I saw Princess Celestia floating with her wings wide open. She had a serious expression on her face and it slowly turned into an angry face when she saw her sister turned into stone.
"IT WAS YOU THAT TURNED MY BELOVED SISTER INTO STONE?" She said in a more calm version of the Canterlot voice.
The dragon looked at her and let out a soft laugh.
I saw Celestia's eyes widening and her expression changing again. She was shocked with something... And here I was thinking that nothing could actually shock an eternal being.
"You... Is that... You?" She said and approached the Behemoth.
I simply couldn't hold it any longer. It was too much.
The dragon looked at me and smiled.
"If I say 'Discord'... does this make any sense to you?"
The blue dragon then threw his flame on Luna, her guards and Rainbow Dash... they all turned back into flesh and bone again. They all breathed deeply and had a confusion expression, looking to the sides a little lost.
"Celestia...? and... Y-YOU?" I heard Luna saying and then she flew to be next to her sister... But to be honest I only cared for one thing right now.
I walked towards Rainbow and hugged her thigh. She simple warped her fore hoofs around me, hugging me back.
"You need to stop scaring me like that..." I whispered. "You are going to give me a heart attack one of these days!"
She chuckled lightly and kissed my face.
"You need to stop worrying so much about me... Having a babysitter is not cool!"
We both turned to see the the huge dragon speaking with the Royal sisters.
"But why did you took part on this crazy plan?" Celestia said giggling lightly "If you wanted to meet us, you could simply come to Canterlot."
"Why is your name 'Night Sky'?" I asked to him.
"That's all and good... but Ah must ask... What about poor Steel Head ov'there?" Applejack said pointing the body of the unconscious royal guard.
"Don't worry about him." I heard the elder dragon saying.
"The changeling attack on your kingdom was, in part, my fault." He said. "So, it is up to me to fix things up... Queen Chrysalis, you can come out now..."
The three teenager dragons got warped in a flash of green light giving place to three more changelings. One of them had the same height as Celestia and the other two were the same size as the one that was disguised as Steel Head... The higher one approached the dragon with a smirk on her lips... She spread her wings and started to float, close to the royal sisters too.
"I already told you Eravel..." he said. "I did it because I thought it would be a fun way to pass the time... None of you were in actual danger... And your friend... Steel Head? Don't worry about him... He is alive and fine. I send him to a very special place with a very especial pony..."
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"ah-... AH-CHOO!" Steel Head sneezed and rubbed his hoof against his muzzle before adjusting his sunglasses... "Damn..." He cursed and relaxed again, taking a sip from his cold drink... The white pegasus was laid on his back in the a long chair, just enjoying the sun on his coat and the nice smell of the beach...
"Everything ok Steel?" Octavia said, interrupting the song she was playing on her cello, right next to him.
"Nothing especial... I was just improvising a few notes..." She blushed with his complement.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"What about them then?" I pointed towards the changelings that were teenager dragons just a moment ago. "I could have really hurt them with my weapons!"
"This was Discord's Idea..." Night Sky said. "He said that It would be rather boring to just send a letter to Celestia... So he wanted to use the enchantment in your sword... The enchantment that would warn her if you ever got near to lose your temper... Just like you did when you saw that cyan pegasus turned into stone."
"So..." I started. "We were just pawns being played for Discord's amusement?"
I opened my mouth to say something... but was there anything else to be said? No... it wasn't... At least not in front of royalty.
"C'mon..." I felt a hoof over my shoulder and saw Applejack. "Let's get going... Ah think that they'all have a lot t'discuss..." She pulled my lightly and I started walking.
Rainbow Dash got next to me and touched my shoulder with her head. I looked at her and smiled. In the end, everything went just fine. Nopony got hurt and the Princesses were discussing peace with another kingdom.
"And where do you think you are taking MY SON!?" We all turned to see A blue and green dragon staring at us with pure rage on its eyes... It was no other than Tharianee, my 'self proclaimed mother'.
"Mother stop that!" we turned to see a light blue dragon, Zera, landing near her.
"LIES!" She roared and I felt even Applejack stepping backwards. "YOU gave our son away to your 'beloved' princess! You betrayed me and even turned Zera against ME!"
Tharianee let out a deep growl and in a blink of an eye, she jumped against Rainbow. Celestia and Luna cast a spell to contain the female dragon, but both weren't prepared for a quick reaction... No one really expected that Tharianee would attack... The princesses weren't able to properly aim and the spell miss.
I did the only thing I could do at the moment. I jumped between Rainbow and Tharianee, throwing a cone of fire right in the dragoness face. Her claws ripped the air and hit my body with full force. Getting hit by a dragon was nothing compared to a manticore or a hydra... Her massive palm hit my side and I hear my arm, wing and some ribs breaking.
I landed on the ground and bounced a few times, hitting a nearby rock. Everything around me was spinning... far away, like an echo; I could hear someone calling my name and a distant roar. Some lights flashed in the sky... and a cyan figure came towards me... my sight was so blur that I couldn't distinguish who it was... And the pain... was so overwhelming... I just give in to the darkness, wishing that all that pain would fade.
X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"I honestly wasn't counting that your 'mother' would show up..." I heard Discord's voice...
My body was laid against a tree, under the cool shadow of the leaves. As I opened my eyes I saw the usual landscape... green grass... pink clouds... a few trees and a bright sun in the sky... a group of buffalos dancing with pink skirts near a chocolate lake… nothing out of order… I breathed deeply and stared at him.
"You damn bastard!" I said and started to stand up.
"Oh, don't be such a wuss..." He said crossing his arms. "You should be already used to be beaten senseless..."
"I'll just ignore that you said that..." I sighed... Being beaten is something that no one can simply 'get used' to... "What happen after I blacked out?"
"Good to hear that..." I sighed. "So... what now?"
"What do you mean?" He asked.
I hated to admit but he was right. It was through the things that he put me through that helped me grow. Not only as a dragon, but as a human too. Since the beginning he helped me see things that I was too dumb to realize myself.
"Now..." he said. "It's time to wake up... I'll come see you again in your dreams when I feel bored again... so, until next time!"
With that, the ground opened under me, making me fall towards a void... I fell for just a second before I could grasp the real world around me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. I was in a hospital room... Strange to think how many time I woke up in a room like that... probably many times more than any pony on an entire life.
I pushed my body to sit. I felt my body all warped in bandages, but the pain was not so great as I thought it would be.
"Let's see... Live on the street, alone and exposed to the weather... or live with my love in a comfy and warm bed... such a hard decision..." I said scratching my shin, as if I were thinking.
"You can leave now..." Rainbow Said looking at Steel Head and approaching my bed. "I need to teach this overgrown lizard a lesson or two..."
Rainbow Dash climbed on my bed and cuddle against me… I warped an arm around her neck and smiled at her.
"He had it coming… I wanted to give him a payback for what he did to me when he broke free from his stone prison." She said chuckling.
"I can imagine that…" I said and kissed her forehead.
She sighed and closed her eyes.
I closed mine too and we both stood in silence. No word had to be said in that moment… We finally found peace. I could only hope now that this peace would last for a good time…

It's funny how much one can change when he is willing to. How one can find happiness, friendship and love if he is willing to let go of his past. I'm the living proof of that…
Two month passed after those events… It took me a week to be released from the hospital and several days to be able to fly again. Until then, Rainbow Dash needed to help me get home, since I was now living with her.
Steel Head kept loyal to Octavia… Princess Celestia assigned him permanently as an officer in Ponlyvile… Not that the small town needed that, but the princess knew better than to separate him from his friends.
Far as I knew, the diplomacy between Equestria, the land of dragons and the Hive was going very well… The princesses even allowed some of the changeling to live among ponies to harvest love from the ambience and take it back to the Hive… just like the bees do with the flowers... This fact about bees I learned from Twilight. She insisted (didn't stop annoying me until I give up) to keep giving me classes about Equestria and how to control my fire.
Spike was having these classes too and he turned to be a huge fan of Night Sky. The elder dragon promised that he would teach the young purple drake how to make 'spells' out of fire when he got older. That is something that I'm eager to see happening too… But I know that I probably won't live long enough. My body may be of a dragon but my soul is not and I know that I'll be in Valhalla many years before Spike reach adulthood.
Some times I wonder how my life will be once I reach the great hall of Odin... If I'll be with the body of a dragon or a human… and more important… If Rainbow Dash will be there too. Celestia insisted that I should not worry about this kind of stuff but sometimes I just can't help it. But what I know is that I'll enjoy my life now. Enjoy the treasures that many, back in my home world, will never have the pleasure to have… Peace, friendship and love. And each day I want to experience more and more of this warm happiness in my chest, because life is like this: A big school where you learn how to be happy.

Eravel closed his journal and rested his pen on the inkpot. The dragon stood up and stretched his arms and wings, yawning. He took long hours to finish this particular part of the journal. Many more books he would fill but that would have to wait… because he still had many other moments to live…
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
A/N: Well… the story has ended… this makes me sad (really, I'm almost crying here… hate when it ends). I only hope you guys had enjoyed this fic as much as I did writing it. I know that this is not a good fiction, and I know that many didn't like it (whole or some aspects of it) but I want to thank every single one of you guys that helped me making this fic.
Probably I'll start something new… IDK… maybe related to this one (hardly)… But my only wish is to provide entertainment for you all, because I love every single one of you!
Almost a whole week had passed since Eravel was taken to Canterlot. During this time, a certain cyan pegasus looked a lot more energetic than before. She broke all her records at her weather control job, finishing it a lot faster than she actually needed. A good amount of that time was used to practice flight and the time that she usually used to nap was being used for reading. None of her friends, especially Twilight Sparkle, believed when Rainbow Dash came to the library and borrowed several different books about flight.
During these days, it was a common to see the rainbow maned pegasus laid on a cloud with a book on her hooves and she even missed the 'pet day'... The special day that all the girls could take their pets to play free in the park.
"Looks like she isn't coming today..." Twilight said looking at the sun on the horizon. It was almost evening now and no one had a slight sign of life from Rainbow Dash. All the girls were gathered over a pick-nick towel on the ground.
"Maybe we should go see her?" Fluttershy started to say. "She's been very distant these past days... I'm starting to get worried with her."
"Ah agree with Fluttershy" Applejack said. "Our Rainbow is been acting all weird these days... Is like she's not her anymore!"
"Oh, but she likes t' read that... what's her name? 'Daring Do'?" Applejack said.
"Maybe we should pay our friend a visit?" Rarity commented.
Before the girls could decide if that was a good idea or not a soft sound of a helicopter could be heard. They all looked at the source of that sound and saw Tank flying with that weird machine attached to his back, right next to him was Rainbow Dash.
"Uhh... yeah? Why?" She said feeling a little weird with all her friends staring at her.
At the same time all the other pets gathered near tank to salute him... except for Opal. She stood at bay, licking her paw, acting like all the other pets were inferior and didn't deserve to receive any attention.
"Why?" Twilight started "Rainbow, when was the last time we saw each other?"
Rainbow Dash lowered her ears seeing that she was completely surrounded by her friends. Her only escape would be flying away, but Twilight would probably catch her with magic if she tried to flee.
Fluttershy was the one to put a hoof on her shoulder to offer comfort and courage to the cyan pegasus talk.
"It's about Eravel..." Rainbow finally said with a sight, looking at the ground... she wasn't capable of looking any of her friends eye to eye. "When I finally found that I loved him and he loved me back the same way, that damn second personality took over his body and he attacked me... and then he was transformed into a dragon! I waited for more than a month to him finally get out of that cursed egg, but now... now that we could finally be together he is avoiding me!" She said filled with frustration. "I... I don't know what to do anymore... I don't want to press him to stay with me, I would hate if somepony forced to stay by my side if I didn't want him close... But then Twilight told me that he went to Canterlot, so the princess could make his body grow... At first I just got sad because I couldn't watch him the way I've been doing" She sniffed finally able to fully contain her tears and lift her head to look at Twilight. "But you said that he would be able to learn how to fly and I saw my opportunity there! I'm trying to memorize those books to be the best teacher Eravel can have and with that, I hope he will not avoid me anymore..."
"Rainbow..." Twilight got closer and put a hoof on her shoulder, smiling softly "You should have told all this to us earlier... we are your friends! Celestia's sake! If you can't talk this kind of stuff with us, what the hay did we serve for?"
But Fluttershy still didn't seem very happy with all of that... there was something bothering her and she would not ruin the momentum talking about that... Thought she knew that sooner or later she had to tell her friends what was bothering her...

"You really are worthless..." A growling voice echoed through the walls of a dark cave. Despite the thundering sound of that voice, it was clear feminine.
Curled in the end of the cave was a huge female dragon staring at Queen Chrysalis. The dragon had her wings folded and her scales had a mix of blue and and green... her eyes were yellow and she looked very ferocious... She and the queen had their eyes locked on each other with angry expressions.
"If you wanted to retrieve your so precious egg you should have come with me! If our plan didn't succeed, it was as much your fault as it was mine! You for not coming to help me, and me to be foolish enough to actually go and attack Canterlot... even after somepony warned them that we were planning to attack the capital."
"But now is too late..." The dragon said "My egg already hatched, and my baby thinks that he's part of that weak community."
"What dragons exactly?" Queen Chrysalis said with a chuckle "Far as I know, you came looking for my help because NO DRAGON wanted to help you." The dragon growled at that affirmation and the queen continued. "They all know the true power of Celestia... Yes, she was really weak when I fought her, but even with me overfeed by all the love from Shining Armor I had barely enough power to overcome her. And I only manage to make her faint for a few minutes to trap her! If her beam had hit me… I would not be around to speak with you. Now that she is at full power again, I don't dare even look at her capital." The queen said walking out of the cave.
"Enough!" He said looking at both. Queen Chrysalis didn't pay him no attention but the female dragon stepped back.
Slowly the blue dragon stood up... he had a few cuts on his chest made when his mother used her claws, but nothing too bad.
"Don't worry... But you should stop your mother from doing anything stupid... Celestia may be kind at heart, but she will not forgive anyone that tries to harm her subjects" The changeling queen walked outside the cave.
"We already tried to reason with her... but in hundreds of years my mother not once lost a son. She simply cannot accept that it happened." The blue dragon sat next to the changeling queen, looking at the horizon.
"I have many children... and even with that many I still suffer when I lost one. Every single one of them is special to me and I can understand what your mother is going through... but she will lose more than one son if she kept acting like that..." The queen said looking at the blue dragon next to her.
"I just wanted that she would come back... back the way she used to be" He sighed.
"I hope that she gets over her loss..." The queen said spreading her wings. "...and soon, or she will start a path with no return... Farewell young dragon... I have to return to my children now" Queen Chrysalis said and flew away, leaving the young blue dragon behind.
Standing at the top of a mountain, the female dragon with blue and green scales, watched the capital of the pony land, Canterlot. She would get her son back, no matter the cost of it!

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, trying to easy the sting that the daylight caused. I was laid in a cloud that was floating above a really beautiful landscape. I let out a sigh, relaxing for a few seconds before I lift my upper body, trying to sit but something was holding me. The cloud that was white turned into pink now and got really sticky.
"So... what do you think?" Discord said floating next to me.
"Your soul affected they way your body developed... I would be surprised if you turned to be like the other dragons out there" Discord said making the mirror disappear.
"My soul?" How could my soul do something like that?
He was right... For some reason, being naked with this body didn't bother me at all... It simply felt natural.
"It's part of the cellular memory from your body... Wearing clothes are not part of what a dragon is and so your mind accepted the fact that you were naked as something normal and..." He stopped looking at my face and let out a sigh. "Now I know how Twilight Sparkle feels..." He finished and crossed his arms
It was not the first time that they used some kind of word that I didn't understand... Especially when I was at the hospital and heard the so called 'doctors' talking about 'x-rays' and other instruments they used… other names that I swear it was some kind of dish I discovered later to be internal organs.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Outside the castle a gray mare was talking with a royal guard... The mare was carrying a huge case with her Cello inside.
"Can't you please check if he's awake already? I REALLY need to see him... " Octavia said to the royal guard that simply sighed.
"Don't you grow tired of coming here every day?" The guard sighed.
