The return of a legend

Dragon battle/ Changelings hive

Three weeks have pasted and twilight hasn’t given up on wanting to date me. But I still felt it was too soon to start dating anyone after how long I’ve been gone. But I found a friend in spike the young dragon that lived with twilight. When I first saw him I thought there was a new hoard in the area but twilight told me she hatched his egg and he’s been with her ever sense. I’ve also seen that this world was now much closer to what mine was. Large cities and worldwide trade but they still lacked in technology but that maybe a good thing. I’ve even started to take missions from luna and celestia to make a living. With at money I had water and power put into the tower. But as of this minute I’m at the local guard station looking at a group of fillies who nearly set fire to the market place with some homemade fireworks.

“We said we were sorry Saber.”

“I know but your sisters are on the way to get you. But I’ve plans so I’m going leave you with the guards.” I looked and saw my favorite guard and I yelled for her to come over.

“What do you need Saber?”

“Hey, spear can you watch these three till their sisters get here?”

I thanked her and walked out of the station. By this time many of the ponies of the town knew me and many liked me. But one young mare seemed to follow me around and I would catch her from time to time near my tower. She had a red mane and pink glasses but every time I try to talk to her she blushed and runs away. As I walked I saw spike talking to a stallion and he seemed to be giving spike a hard time. The stallion was a larger earth pony and he had a yellow coat and brown hair and was wearing and red t-shirt and jeans. I walked over to them and I heard some of what the stallion was saying.

“Come on I know that you live with her so just tell her I’m her date or I'll have to make her be by date.”

Spike saw me and smiled. The stallion turned and looked at me and looked as if he just saw death himself. “If you so much as touch her I'll give you a free week at the hospital.” I saw the color drain from his face and I grabbed him before he could run and pushed him into the wall. I looked back to spike and I saw he was holding onto a roll of fabric and I knew where he had been. “Go ahead back to rarity’s spike I'll handle this guy.”

“Thanks, Saber see you later at dinner.”

After spike was out of my view I looked back to the stallion. “Ok, you got ten seconds to tell me why I shouldn’t put you through this wall beside having to pay for the damage.”

“I just wanted that mare I know she has status as the princess’s student and I wanted her to get me into the gala in a week.”

I was getting anger at what stallions had become like as I was gone. This way of thinking they were owed everything and didn’t have to earn it. I pulled him off the wall and turned him to look at me. “Ok two things colt ever treated those two again and I'll show you why I was named Faust's knight. Two what is this gala we didn’t have that in the time of faust.”

“Well it’s the biggest party of the year and she got two tickets and I was going make her take me as her date.”

I let him go and I looked into her eyes. “My main mission is to protect her and spike. So if you want them you’ll have to go through me got that?” He nodded and turned and ran away in fear. I turned and started to walk to twilights house. As I walked away I saw the same young mare that had been flowing me and I wanted answers so once she was close I turned and looked at her. But unlike usually she didn’t run she had a heart card in her hands and looked at me with a blush. She held the card out to me and scooted closer. I took the card and opened it.

Hello Saber

My name is Twist and I am eighteen and I have a crush on you. I try to talk to you but I get too nervous and I run away. I know we’ve never spoken but you’re not like other stallions. You treat mares like mares and not objects to be owned. I’d also like to ask if you have plans for hearts and hooves day next month and if you don’t will you go to the hearts and hooves dance with me?

I looked at the card and to her. “Um, I don’t know what hearts and hooves day is Miss Twist.” She looked up at me and she had a shaky smile on her face.

“W-well y-you see it’s when t-two ponies who like each other g-go and eat and play together and then they dance later that night.”

I looked at the card then to her. “I see well I don’t think I have plans next month but I need to get going but feel free to come by my tower if you want to. But I hope you don’t mind waiting a few days I’m busy until the end of the week.” She looked at me in pure joy.

“That’s fine I’m just happy we final talked to each other. But will you go with me if you can?”

I smiled and patted her head. “If I can I'll go with you Twist so after this week your welcome at my home anytime. So Twist I hope you have a good day and if you need anything just come to me ok?” She smiled and held her hand out and I shook her hand. After we when our ways and I walked to twilight’s house. I turned the corner and saw a crowd of stallions around twilight’s tree house. I used my magic to look through the crowd and I saw that spike and twilight were in the middle. I wanted to help so I moved some of my magic to my feet and kicked out the ground. I forced more magic into my feet and kicked out the air making a small thunder sound. After a few more kicks I had the whole crowd looking at me and I jumped over them. I stopped kicking and feel into the middle with my friends. I looked down to their shocked faces and smiled. “So what’s going on twilight, spike?”

“How’d you do that Saber?”

I looked down to spike and I saw him looking at me in amazement. “Well, it’s a magic skill I and faust created to help earth pony mages to help on the farms.” I heard whispers and hushed talking. I took advantage of the moment of peace and grabbed both of them and kicked but into the air. Before any of them could react I moved to my tower window and closed it. I put them down and looked at them and spike and twilight were still looking at me. “So either one of you want to explain to me why I just had to say you?” They seemed to snap out of it and looked at me. Twilight spoke up about this gala thing again.

“Well, you see I the princess sent tickets for me and a date tickets for the gala. Of spike told me that you helped him out earlier thanks for that.”

“No problem but why was there a crowd of stallions around you two out there?” Twilight didn’t look me in the eye and either did spike. I narrowed my eyes and walked up to them. “Spike.” He jumped when I said his name and he looked up to me.

“Y-ya Saber?”

I looked into his eyes and he shrunk back. “Were all of those stallions out there like the other one I dealt with earlier?” He started to sweat and looked away. “Know it.” I looked to twilight and she was looking at the ground. I sighed and used my magic and put them on their feet. “So who’s the date your taking?” I asked with narrowed eyes. Before she could answer I heard a loud knocking from downstairs. I walked back to the window and opened it and looked down. I saw the group of stallions beating on my door. I frowned and called the elements to give a show of power. Once the elements were behind me and jumped out of the window. I used the elements to float down to right above them. One looked up and saw me and started to step back. I saw a hole in the left side and I dive boomed cracking the ground and knocked them all back. I was standing in the middle of a small crater and looked at them all. A green stallion stood and looked at me.

“Where is that mare Knight?”

I looked eyes and he backed off some. I didn’t want to kill them so I used my magic and used it to make a small shock wave. It throws many of them all back and I saw some onlookers watching on. I looked at the few that managed to stand. “So anyone want to tell me why you're trying to beat my door down?” I saw some of them back away but an older stallion walked forward with a cocky smile. He held himself like one of the old nobles. He had black and gray hair and was wearing a business suit.

“We're here to find out who the mare is taking to the gala so bring her out here you filthy animal.”

I raised and an eyebrow at him and I walked out of the crater and up to him. I was now in front of him and he backed up. But before I could start to talk three load roars rang out. A roar I know all too well that was the roar of a dragon. I looked to the sky and like I was thought three large dragons were heading for the town. I looked around at the town and panic was everywhere. I used my magic to make my voice louder and summoned my armor. “Everyone gets to the town hall and stay there I'll handle the dragons!” Many stopped and looked at me like I was crazy. I saw twilight and spike run out of the tower and looked at the sky. Twilight had seemed to have heard me and was trying to pull me to the town hall with her.

“Saber come we need to get out of here before they reach us!”

I looked at her and I saw complete panic in her eyes. I put a hand on her and she looked at it and back to me with fear. “Twilight this is what I did in the old days and you and the town are my charges so I have to fight them if that’s what I have to.” She was starting to cry. I saw Applejack and her family heading for the town hall so I yelled applejacks name and she looked at us and I waved her over.

“What do you need Saber”

I looked to twilight who was now openly crying. I pulled her hand off my arm and pushed her to applejack. “Get her and everyone else to the town hall and I handle the dragons.” She looked shocked that I would stand and fight them but did as I asked. I looked back to the dragons and I saw they were getting close and I saw one in the back was much older than the other two. I looked back to the town and I saw that the town’s population was now in the town hall and I used the elements to put up a powerful barrier around it. The element were spinning behind me and I started to draw power and they started to spin kicking up a dust cloud. The dragons landed outside the town border and the older one stepped forward and looked at me. He had one and old looking set of armor and his scales were a light blue. The other two both had red and yellow scales. I started to walk to them and as I got closer I looked at the other two and saw them watching me. I used the elements to fly up and looked into the elder dragon’s eyes. “What can I do you dragon?” he didn’t change the look on his face and the two of the younger looked at me and one of them seemed to be scared.

“Well, I guess I was right when I thought I felt your power again slayer.”

I looked back the elder dragon and I saw he had smoke coming from his nose. I started to move power to my hands ready to summon my black crystal swords. I Looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. “I’m sorry but I don’t believe we’ve to meet before what is your name?” He breathes out of his nose and some flames come out of his nose as well.

“We never meet face to face but I was there when you slaughter the last dragon hoard to attack this country. I watched as you killed more than half of us in an hour and once I felt your power again I knew that you had returned slayer.”

“So what do you want then?” My answer came in the form of his fire breath I just barely had time to shield the attack. The force from the attack sent me flying back and over the town. The three followed me I used the elements and stopped myself just behind the town hall. I looked at the elder dragon and I saw a scar running down his arm and I remembered a dragon I cut the arm as he ran from the field. So your one of the dragons that were wounded and ran from the battle. But I have a question how did you get through the barrier around this country?” He smiled and the two behind him started to laugh.

“The old queen was very smart. Not only did she keep a monster like you in her army but she left one opening.”

I was shocked to hear that Faust’s barrier had a weak point. I summoned the black crystal swords and got into my fighting stance. “You’ve got five seconds to tell me where it is or your deaths will not be quick but slow and painful.” He dropped his smile and the other two got into a fighting stance. The elder dragon cracked his nukes and looked at me. But one of the younger ones made the first move. He charged me and smiled and waited. Once he was close I jumped at him and I cut off his right arm.

I was still crying as applejack pulled me into the town hall and the other came over to help calm me down. Once I was calm I sent a letter to the princesses and told them to bring my brother and three units of guards to help Saber fight the dragons back. After everypony was inside the town hall a larger magic dome was placed over us and I could feel the power it gave off. We all looked to Saber to see him talking to the dragons. We could hear what the what the dragon was saying and many looked shocked to hear that this dragon was there the day Saber held the hoard of dragons back. The stallion who were after me and spike heard how he slaughter them. Now they were looking at me and spike and were shaking at the fact that he was protecting us and that he had all that power. I looked back just as the older dragon hit Saber with a massive fight ball and sent Saber flying back. “SABER!” I heard a mare’s voice yell out but I couldn’t look way once the fireball was over the town hall I ran to the back windows and the entire hall followed. We got to the windows and we saw saber standing outside the barrier like nothing had happened to him. I was shocked after taking that fireball you’d think he’d be hurt my no he was standing tall like it never happened. As I watched a twist a young mare who just turned eighteen was beside me with a very worried look on her face. I looked at her till I heard a scream and I turned back to see saber and to my shock and amazement saber had cut off one of the younger dragon’s arm. A bright light flashed outside of the hall and I saw the princess and my brother and three units behind them.

I was behind the dragon and I kicked off the air and cut his head off. His body fell to the ground and I looked past them and saw my god children and that colt. I kicked the air and flow over to them and landed in front of them. “What are you two doing here?!” they jumped back from my yell and that colt started to walk over to me.

“How dare you speak to the princess like that filthy animal do you want to me to kill you?”

I saw the princess get an anger face and but I before anything could happen I heard wind whipping. I quickly throw a shield up just as a massive tail was about to hit the four of us. I looked back to the dragons and I saw the other young dragon attacking us as the older one was watching. He started to breathe in a large amount of air and I knew what was coming. I started to draw power from the elements making them spin in a circle and a large ball of magic formed in my hand. Before he could breathe his fire I shot into his chest shooting it straight through his chest. A large fireball shot out of his chest and he dropped dead. I looked back to the others and I saw their shocked faces. “Armor if you can do any shield spells then start putting them up.” He didn’t argue this time and did as I said and put up three shields.

“Your strength hasn’t changed slayer. I bet you could still destroy armies if you had to. The warrior that build this kingdom more then it’s queen they used to say about you. You even made peace with the changelings but after you disappeared the queen destroyed that peace by banishing queen thorax to the badlands. I heard that more than half her hive starved to death not being about to grow food and only having a little water. You know she was the first to die but her daughter survived. But she left to find more of her kind but she never came back. She also had a daughter who now rules the last of their race.”

I looked to the princess and I saw fearful looks on their faces looked scared when my eyes meet theirs’s. I narrowed my eyes and the shrank from my gaze. “We are going to have a long talk and you will tell me what you know got that?” I spoke in a dangers tone. They flinched back and started to back away from me but luna spoke.

“Yes, Sir.”

I looked back to the dragon and I summoned my swords again. I narrowed my eyes and he flinched back and took a step back. “You’re not getting away dirty lizard.” I stabbed one sword into the ground and raised the other sword above my head. I started to channel magic into is and a wind started to circle the sword. A ball of bright blue magic formed on the tip and I got ready to swing the attack. “Tear him to shreds wind slicer.” I swung my sword down and sent the attack flying at him. When he saw the attack coming he opened his wings and took to the sky. But the attack followed him up into the sky.

“Wait if you kill me you’ll never find the weak spot in the shield!”

I didn’t say anything as the attack hit him. Wind circled his body as started to cut I’m into pieces. His blood and small pieces of flesh fell to the ground. I looked to the town hall and dropped the barrier and then looked to the princesses. I walked over to them and gave and order to the guards. “Guards clean up this mess me and the princesses need to have a talk.” The guards did ask I told them and started to clean the mess as the citizens of ponyville walked out of the town hall. After a second I felt two bodies jump onto my back.

“Saber!”

The voices of twilight and twist came from my back. I saw twist pale arm wrap around my neck and she was holding so tight I couldn’t breathe. “T-twist twilight please get on-off I need to talk to the princesses.” They didn’t move saw I throw them off. I stood back up and looked at them. Twilight was rubbing her rump and twist was rubbing her right elbow. “Look we can talk later I have to talk to the princesses so I'll talk to you two later.” I walked up to princess and grabbed both their left ears.

“Ow Saber please that hurts.”

“Yes please stop.”

I saw ponies around us looking on in shock but I didn’t care at this moment. I started to make them walk and so kids even laughed and said the princesses were in trouble. The foal’s parents laughed a little too but moved them as we walked by. Once we were in my tower I let go of their ears and looked at them. They rubbed their ears and they gave me the puffy angry faces.

“Did you really have to treat us like little fillies Saber?”

“Celestia be quiet.”

I looked at them with narrowed eyes and they got quiet. “Now you two listen to me and listen good. You tell me why your mother did this so I can fix it.” They didn’t look me in the eyes and I used my magic to make them look at me. I got in their faces and I saw fear on their faces. “Tell me now tia, lulu.” Celestia looked to luna and then to me.

“Ok, our mom didn’t want them around without you to keep things peaceful. She even said they feed off the love of other ponies to get scared. She said the queen demanded to speak with you but she said you left for battle but never came back. She didn’t trust her and her race in our kingdom without you.”

I looked at her and luna and I let out and annoyed sigh. I turned and ran my hand over my hair and started to walk back and forth. I stopped and looked at them and they looked to the ground in shame. I walked over to them and they looked up at me. “This is what we’re going to do I’m going to go and try and fix this mess and you’re going to get ready to run power and water in the old castle when I get back.” They looked at me confused and celestia spoke up.

“Um, Saber the old castle can’t be used anymore it’s too far gone.”

I looked into her eyes and she back down some. “Celestia, luna first just do it and two come with me.” I walked to the library door and opened it. The two of them did as twilight did and looked on in amazement. I walked over to the changeling armor and walked behind it and to the changeling part of the library. Near the back, I had the flag from queen role. She once told me their queens only ever left their flags with her flag. I was the first one non-changeling to get a queens’ flag. I walked up to it and opened a case and grabbed the top of the flag and I folded it into a triangle. I walked back out to her luna about to grab one of the weapons I collected. “Don’t touch those weapons!” She jumped back but and I looked around and I didn’t see where Celestia was. “Where is your sister?” Luna looked at me and pointed to faust area part of the library. I gritted my teeth and walked into her part of the library. When I walked in I saw celestia just standing in the middle of the room just looking around then she saw me.

“Saber what was it like for when you lived in our mother’s era.?”

I looked at her and with a sad smile now think of that time. Should I tell her what life for me was like back then? Well, I guess it wouldn’t matter the past is the past. I sat the flag down on a table and walked over to her and wrapped her in a hug. I put one hand on the back of her head and put it. “Celestia your mother had the biggest heart I’d ever seen but when it came down to it she hated to fight and so did I. But your mother was trying her best for her nation. It got to a point to where I wouldn’t let her on the battlefield that made her suffer so much.” I let go her and she stepped back and looked at me but didn’t say anything so I keep talking. “I desisted that only one of us had to suffer. So for the sack of your mother, I buried my pain and suffering and turned myself into a weapon to protect her home. I didn’t want my only friend in this world to suffer. But I paid a price to do that in the eyes of the ponies I was a monster like the dragons. I even lost my chance for love and to ever have a family.” I could feel tears in my eyes but I keep going. “Some ponies even tried to kill me when I when into the towns. But your mother always made my day better she was there for me but now I have no one to turn to. So now I wonder am I cursed to suffer for the rest of my days or is there hope yet. I know your student likes me but she too good for me so I’m not too sure what to do now. All I have is my elements and your mother’s dream of a kingdom of peace to keep me going.” I was now crying thinking of all I’d given up to protect the home for others. I looked back to her and she was cry as she looked at me and before I knew it she ran over and was hugging in an attempt to ease my pain. I put a hand on her hand and let her stay like that.

“How?”

I looked down and saw she was looking up to me. “How what?” She sniffed a few time then answered me.

“How could you live like that? From what you’ve told me you suffered worst then luna or I ever have and the way they saw you as a monster. Plus, all you have to give up just to be seen as a monster and hated. You let yourself go through so much what did you ever get out of it. What you must have gotten something right? Please tell me my mother gave you some kind reward for all you did please.”

I just gave her a sad smile and pushed her face back into my armor. Before I spoke again I didn’t want her to see me cry anymore. “You want the truth celestia?” she muttered a yes out throw her crying and sobbing. I let out a soft sigh and started to speak. “They only things I ever got from your mother was my knighthood and the elements. Many of the nobles back then said I was what I was. Just a weapon to be used then thrown away when I didn't need anymore. I know you mother didn’t want to but she did as the nobles wanted and it served to reasons. One to keep the nobles happy to make sure the nation survived. two was to make sure I was here when I was needed again. But to answer your question no I never truly got a reward for what I did for this nation but all the same, I'll protect it for her I'll protect her dream. To have a nation where everyone could be happy but for something like this nation to come into the world someone has to shoulder the pain and suffering so in the end, I did it to myself.” We stood there until I heard more crying to my right and I looked to the door and I saw luna crying with her hands over her mouth. She must have heard everything I said. As I looked at her Celestia pulled herself from my old and started to beat on my chest plate as she cried and yelled.

“Why?! Tell me why?! You said you hated to fight so why did you fight the dragons?! I know you said you want to keep our mother's dream alive by why do you have to suffer to keep it?! Why didn’t you let us help you! You didn’t have to fight them by yourself! We came to help you do you want to die is that it?!”

I just looked at her as she cried. Maybe what she was saying was true I was very tired even after my long rest. “Maybe that is what I what I wanted. Even when your mother was with me I wished for peace. But my wish can’t happen now that I'm awake so again I must fight again. My fate and suffering are of my own actions. I will spend all eternity with pain and suffering as my only company on the road I chose to walk.” After I finished talking Celestia smacked me across the face knocking me to the ground. Luna ran over and grabbed her sister as she was about to pick me up to slap me again.

“Tia stop hitting him won’t help!”

“No luna let me go! He should know by now things aren’t like that anymore he doesn’t have to be a weapon anymore!”

I got back to my feet and walked over to them. I grabbed luna’s arms and made her let celestia go. They both looked at me. “You to need to know I can’t go back I’m a weapon short and sweet. So no matter what you say you can’t change what I like myself become so please just let it go. But so you know it’s going to be the same again soon. You saw what I did out there soon they think I’m a monster and want me dead just like in your mother era.” They both bit their lips and looked away from me. But Celestia started to speak again.

“No, they won’t think of twilight and that other mare. They were really worried about you and the towns ponies didn’t run from you like they would from a monster.”

She stepped forward and grabbed my arm and pulled my gauntlet off. Luna walked over and did the same as her sister. Celestia grabbed my hand and gripped it tightly.

“Saber you don’t have to live like you used to and so you know if you even need anything you can come to us. So please you don’t need to fight by yourself anymore we’ll help you if you need it.”

I heard luna speak up and I looked at her.

“My sister is right you don’t need to shoulder that burden anymore you can ask for help. You need not endure this loneliness you’ve come to live with. If young twilight wishes to give you love then let her give it. You may yet get to have a family Saber.”

I looked at them and smiled. Maybe they were right maybe I could find love and have a family. I pulled my hands back and whipped the tears from my face. I looked at the with a determined look. “Thank you for your word but I need to go and mend a broken trust.” I put my gauntlets back on and walked over to the table and picked the flag back up. “Come on you two I don’t want to lock you I here. They smiled and followed me out of the library and the tower as we walked out I grabbed five apples and a few waters bottles. I put them in a small side bag I had on my side. Once we were outside the told me which way lead to the badlands and I used the elements to start flying to the west.

An hour has passed since Saber had left and the guards had finished cleaning up the town. But as of this moment, I was talking to the town. Not surprising many wished to know where Saber had gone and wished to thank him for saving the town but the happy mode didn’t last long. Out of the crowd, I saw shining armor grab a young mare and pushed her into a wall. I saw it was the other mare that was on Sabers back earlier. I said a quick goodbye to them and teleported nearby and by and I heard what they were talking about.

“Why are you asking about that animal?! The princesses probably banished that animal by now seeing what all he did and the mess he made!”

“Ok, I’ve heard enough shining armor,” I spoke as I walk around the corner and Shining armor dropped the mare and she stood up and ran behind me. Armor backed into the wall and was sweating buckets as I narrowed my eyes. “Shining armor we are going to have a very long talk about how your acting and you rank as captain of the guard once Saber returns. But for now, go and guard the public restrooms.” A brief flash of anger when throwing his eyes but he did as he was told and left. Once I was sure he was gone I turned and looked at the young mare. “I’m sorry for the former captain and Sir Saber is out of town to see if he can find where the dragons had come from. “

“Oh ok thank you, princess, but I need to get home and help get dinner ready so please have a good day.”

She bowed and left. After she had left I teleported back to the town hall to see if there was any damage to the town.

After about an hour I started to fly over forest and small towns I started to see fewer and fewer trees and water. After an another hour I was in the badlands as I flow over I saw what I thought to be a sand storm but a fireball shot out of it. I saw a what I’m sure to be a changeling run out of the storm. A dragon with white and yellow scales was behind the changeling and it was a big one bigger than the ones that ponyville so it must a class two dragon. I put the flag in my chest plate and summoned my black crystal swords I also put my helmet open. I drew power from the elements and shoot down to the dragon. As I got closer and I saw the changeling was a girl and she was in a torn and dirty green dress and her wings looked hurt. Her hair was a dark green on top and it got lighter green and it moved down. I looked back to the dragon and saw it was about to bite her in half. I kicked it into high gear and shot to right in front of the dragon. I slashed its shoulder and used my other sword to cut across its face. I flow around it and kicked it in the jaw and it fell to the ground. I looked around while it was down and I saw the changeling looking at me. I flew over to her and landed right in front of her. I looked her over and she seemed to be in her teens and she had a crown on her head and her horn was carved up and it was a good ten inches. She must be the new princess of the changelings. I heard a growling behind us and I turned and saw the dragon trying to get back up. I couldn’t kill this one now because class twos are rare and hard to fight when someone is nearby. I turned back and I saw fear on her face when she saw the dragon getting back up. Well to hell with the consequences I need to get her out of her and to her hive so I can come back for this dragon later. “Hey which way is your hive?” she looked at me then to the dragon. I was getting mad and I sent my swords back and picked her up in a bridal style. “Look we ca talk later that dragons getting back so which way!?” She jumped in my arms and answered me.

“Go north and we’ll be there soon if we fly.”

Her voice was like that of someone talking with a dry throat. I nodded and used the elements to fly as fast as I could north. I heard the dragon growl I looked back and saw it was trying to fly but feel to the ground from the pain. I smiled under my helmet and I looked back to the changeling in my arms. She was looking at me with a bit of fear and I saw she was somewhat malnourished and I could make out the beginning of her rib cage. “Hey, your highness when was the last time you eat?” She looked at my helmet and into my eye slits. I heard her stomach and she blushed and grabbed her stomach with a pained look. “A week my a week and an half at least in your having hunger pains then.” I looked down and I saw a few large rocks giving shade and I flew down to the biggest one. I landed and carefully sat her down as the elements returned to their place on my armor. Once she was comfortable I took out the water and apples and tried to hand her her two apples and water with my magic. She looked at me like I was crazy and then back to the apples and water in my magic. I started to put them on the ground she spoke up.

“Why are you not trying to kill me?”

I didn’t answer and just put the food and water in her lap. After I did she picked one of the apples up and looked at it like it was a gift from the gods. As she took her first bite I took my helmet off and she looked at my face. She nearly spits the apple out but she didn’t and she swallowed to down before putting back in her lap and rubbing her eyes. After she rubbed her eye she looked back at me and then she looked amazed.

“There’s no way he was around in my great grandmother royal.”

This got my attention and I looked into her eyes. “Do you know me?” Her amazing look grew and she scuttled closer to me.

“What Changeling in are hive doesn’t know your name! The stories say you helped queen thorax lead are hive to peace before the pony queen banished us to this wasteland. Oh, wait I always wanted to know what happened to you and since you’re here that means you didn’t die in battle.”

She started to give me the fangirl smile and it was creeping me out a little. “Ok I'll tell you but it’s a long story so get comfy.” She nodded and started to eat again as I told her my story. Half an hour passed before I finished telling her what all had happened up to this point. I looked at her and I saw amazement and wonder in her eyes and I laughed a little. “I guess you liked the story.” She smiled and jumped up dropping the apple cores and empty water bottle.

“Yes, I like the story but more importantly you’re here to save us again and with you back the princesses can’t touch us.”

She stopped jumping and looked to the north. I saw her smile grow and she walked and grabbed my hand and started to pull it.

“Come on I can hear my mother’s guards. They can take us back to the hive and you can meet my mother her name is queen chrysalis.” As she talked I stood and followed her out from behind the rock and I saw a large group of guards heading our way. She ran out and started to wave her arms to get their attention which it did. I stepped back into the shade and watched and they landed and ran over to her. I saw one of the guards didn't have a helmet on and he had an unhappy look on his face. The others didn’t seem to notice but I did. “I'll have to keep an eye on that one.” I looked back to the princess and she was looking around and then back to me. She turned and started to speed walk her way back to me.

“Princess Scarlet where are you going?”

she stopped and looked back at her mother’s guards.

“I’m getting the one who saved me from the dragon who took me.”

After she said that their eyes when wide and they too started to walk over to me. I knew I’d have to face the once I failed soon so I just walked out of the shade and the guards stopped and their mouths dropped. Once I walked out the princess I now know as Scarlet smile and walked over to me and grabbed my hand. She quaintly pulled and I started to walk to the guards and I saw much like the ponies they were smaller then I and only the princess came to my shoulder. Once I got in front of them they all walked up and started to touch my armor and some even looked like they were in a dream.

“My changeling brothers let me introduce you to the knight Saber the one who once help lead our face to peace with the ponies.”
They looked at her and then to me and a few looked like they were going to cry.

“Once again he has come to try and remake the peace that races once knew and loved.”

Now a few of them were crying and I was getting uncomfortable. Before she could keep going I put a hand on her shoulder and she stopped and looked at me. “Your grandmother was the one who lead your race to peace. All I did was try and keep both sides happy.” She nodded her head and looked at me.

“From the the stories past down they say that you stood with the queen and helped lead us to peace is that not true?”

I looked into her eyes and desisted just let them think what the stories told. “I did bring your race to the land and help them build a home but I never took place as a leader but I did help when I was needed.” I looked at the other changelings and I saw they were skinny but not as bad as scarlet. That one in the back thought he seemed to be very anger. I tightened the gripped scarlet had on my hand and I saw her look up at me throw the corner of my eye. I looked at her and her cheeks turned a light green and she looked away from me. I looked back to the guards to see some of them had smiled and some were just happy. I Smiled but I heard a roar in the distance. I looked to the way we came from and I saw a lager dust cloud heading our way. I looked close and to was a different dragon but definitely a class two. This one had pink and orange scales and no wings a land dragon. I looked to the guards and I saw them take battle stances. There is no way they can take on a class two dragon and win I need to get them out of here. I looked back to scarlet and she was shaking. Clearly, she’d never seen a real battle and I was not going to let the change now. I picked her up with one arm and the other guards in my magic and active the element and shot in the sky. Once I was sure we were high enough I started to shot consecrated bolts of magic at the dragon hitting almost every time. It fell to the ground bleeding badly but still alive. I was berthing heavily from the amount of power I just used and I felt a hand touched my check. I looked at scarlet and she was looking at me with worry.

“Saber are you ok?”

“Ya just used a lot of power really quickly. But that can wait which way is to your hive?”

“Just behind us under that mountain. With your speed will be either in ten minutes.”

I nodded and started to fly to the mountain with her in my arms and the guards in my magic. Soon we were at the foot of the mountain and I saw another group of changelings and I saw a taller one with a crown on her head. My vision started to blur so I started to fly down to them. Once I landed I let her and the guards down. I looked through the burl and I saw the one in the crown running over to scarlet and me. As she about to reach us I blacked out from magic exhaustion.

I watched as my mother was running to me but I heard something fall and I turned to see Saber had fallen to the ground. Two of the guards that come to look for me trying to wake but he didn’t wake up. As I looked at him I felt my mother’s arms wrap around me.

“My sweet angle I thought I’d never see you again!”

I heard my mother’s voice but I couldn’t take my eyes off Saber. I saw my mother’s hand grab my face and made me look at her.

“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?”

After I heard my mother’s voice for the second time I snapped out of it. I pushed her off and I jumped to Saber’s side and turned him onto his back. I looked at his face and I lowered my ear and I heard his breathing. I sat back and let out a breath of relief and the guards and my mother looked at Saber ad let out gasps of shock. I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I looked back to see it was my mother and she was looking at Saber and she had a smile on her face.

“Scarlet is this who I think it is?”

I smiled and stood up and wrapped my mother in a hug. “Yes, mother this is the one who helped bring peace to our race. The one who great grandmother to my grandmother of and then you told me about.” I looked back to see the guards filling him up and one had the gems that were spinning behind him and putting him in the shade. I looked back to my mother and started to speak again. “He is Saber the bringer of peace and prosperity. The one who saved our kingdom in its time of need.” After I finished talking my stomach started to rumble again and I looked at her. Now my mother was looking me over and she saw how my ribs were starting to show. She grabbed my shoulders and looked it to my eyes.

“Did you not eat the whole week you were a prisoner of at dragon?!”

I looked her in the eyes and then to Saber and back to her. “No, I eat earlier when Saber saved me from the dragon. He gave me some juicy apples and a bottle of water.” My mother smiled and looked at Saber and let go of me and walked over to some of her guards.

“Take Saber to my room I will speak with him when he wakes up and take my daughter to her room and get any spear food you can and magic healers too. Oh, and I want that armor off him and I didn’t want him to ask me why something is missing so ten of you wait for me at the door.”

A large group bowed and did as they were told. I walked with them and they took me to my room and I waited for Saber to wake up.

Two days later

It’s been two days and Saber hasn’t woken up and my mother incest that he stays in her room. She says she must speak with him when he wakes up. I have also gotten my strength back from the food and magic healers. My body has also started to fill back out and the hive was overjoyed to have me back and to hear the hero of the stories is here. But as of this moment, I was getting my final magic treatment and the healers say I should be my old self after this. After the last treatment, I looked myself over and I saw my body was back to the way I was. My chest was back to a double d cup and my rear was nice and firm again and my stomach as flat again. As I looked myself over I thought wormed into my mind. Would Saber find me attractive or does he like Someone more like my mother? But before I could think any further my door was thrown open. I turned and looked at the overjoyed guard.

“My princess Sir Saber is wake!”

My heart jumped into my throat and I started to run to my mother’s room.

Saber pov

Darkness was all I saw but I felt something brush against my side. I was starting to wake up and I keep feeling something touching me and I felt a hand touch my chest. But once I felt the hand get near the scar at the center of my chest my eye’s snap open. I shot up forward and I looked around and I saw I was in a dark room lit by some candles. I felt cold air hit my chest and I looked down and saw I didn’t have to shirt I was wearing on and I was in a bed. I pulled the cover up and I was happy to see I still had my pants open. But I saw an another pair of legs under the cover and I looked to the other side of the bed and my mind stopped. Laying in the bed beside me was a lovely looking changeling with a blue hair and she was in a tight green gown. Her horn was About fourteen inches and it was jagged at the top. The gown pushed her breast you and I could see they were at least an e cup. I saw her wings twitching a little bit as she sleeps. I looked over the parts of her body I could see and like the guards she was skinny. They must not be able to grow or get much food in this land. I didn’t want to bother her so I slowly started to move out of the bed and as I moved her eyes opened but she still looked half asleep. She used her arms to push herself and she also pushed her beast closer and up as she did.

“Where are you going? I was nice and warm honey come back to bed.”

She reached for me but I freaked out and fell off the bed with a yell. I fell back and hit my head. My head was spinning as I heard a door slam into a wall.

“My queen are you alright?!”

I heard her let out a girlish scream and pull the covers up.

“Get out now guards NOW!” I heard the door closed hard after I heard her yell and my eyes fixed. I rolled onto my side and I put a hand on the bed and pushed myself up. But when I looked at me I saw that she dropped the cover and I saw one of her breasts had fallen out and her nipple was a light gray. I felt myself go flush and I turned around and looked away from her when she looked at me. “Um, I’m sorry miss but if I say I’m sorry will you not smack me?” I heard the bed springs wine as I felt two soft mounds on the back of my head and neck as I was pulled back.

“Oh, I’m not mad. I’m more embarrassed that my guard and you saw that.”

I felt the mounds get pushed harder into my neck and head. I was getting uncomfortable so I pulled myself way which was easier said than done. Once I saw away from her I stood up and turned and saw she now had herself covered with the cover. I swallowed and looked back to the room. I saw my armor and the elements were still in their places with my shirt next to it. I walked over and put the shirt back on. I heard the springs again and she called for the guard to come back in.

“Guard I want you to go and tell my daughter that Sir saber is awake. So please bring her here so she can see him.”

“Yes, my queen.”

I turned and I saw her walk into what I believe to be a closet. Once she was I the closet I saw that she left the cover on the floor. I looked to the bed and I saw the mess I made of it and I looked back to my armor. But now I noticed queen thorax’s flag was gone. But before I could start looking for it I heard the door opened back up and then I tackled to the ground. As I fell I hit my face on the floor and I jumped back up and grabbed my nose. But I also throw whoever was on my back to the floor I pulled my hand back and I saw blood on it. A gasped came from behind me and I turned and looked and saw it was scarlet behind me. She looked much better now but she had put weight back on. Her chest had made the most growth from the b cup she had to what looked like double d cup. I saw she was crawling over to me and once she was in front of my face she grabbed my face and looked at my nose.

“Well it doesn’t look bad and you seem to much better from when you passed out.”

She put her face close to mine and I could smell perfume on her and it smelled like roses. But again my eyes were being drawn to her chest and she followed my eyes. I managed to pull my eyes from her chest and looked at her face to see her checks a light green blush when she looked back to me. We heard a cough from the closet and she pulled back and we looked and saw the other changeling. She was in a black and light green dress that showed off her rear and breast. But what I saw on her head shocked and scared the hell out of me. On her head was a crown which meant she was the queen of the hive and not ten minutes ago she was asleep beside me. Looked at her face and I saw a sly smile on her face and that worried me even more. She walked over and sat on the bed and looked at me and scarlet sitting on the floor. But once she spoke she like to people were talking at the same time just like thorax did.

“Well, it seems my daughter has taken a liking to you Sir saber.”

I blushed and looked away from them and I heard the queen laugh. It was the same laugh thorax had and it was still just as annoying. I put one hand on the floor and pushed myself up and grabbed scarlet’s hand and I pulled her up with me. After we were on our feet and hooves I let go of her hand turned back to my armor and started to put it back on. I didn’t like to wear it with my jeans on but I didn’t have a choice. As I started to grab my leg armor I heard the queen’s voice again.

“What are you doing peace bringer? Why are you putting that armor back on?”

I stopped and looked at them and they looked back. I sighed as looked back at my armor and started again to put the armor on as I talked. “Your wrong theirs two dragons and they're both higher class dragons. So I’m going to go and hunt them down before they can come back.” As I spoke I had gotten my leg armor on and I was now getting my chest and shoulder armor on. I heard the bed crack and a second later I felt a hand grab my arm. I looked over my shoulder and I saw the queen holding onto my arm and scarlet looking at me in shock. I looked back to the queen and she started to speak.

“Sir Saber what do you mean theirs two dragons?”

I turned and looked at her and scarlet. I ran a hand over my mouth and I felt the hairs on my face had grown to a long stubble. I looked back into her eyes and I saw worry. “Uh ok, look there were two different dragons one was a white winged dragon and the other was a pink land dragon. But these two aren’t you garden verity dragons. They were class two dragons their bigger and stronger than class one dragons. But they're rare and very hard to fight that’s why I’m going to go and hunt them down before they come back.” I saw the shock on their faces and on scarlet’s I saw more fear then her mother’s I turned back and finished putting my armor on and turned back to them. “But for now I need to know if there’s anywhere they could hold up in whale their wounds heal? Those dragons won't be down for long so I need to get to them now.”
