The sun was beating down on the ponies in the city of Manehattan. Nothing exciting is happening. Until a dragonwolf rounds the corner on his paws running as fast as he could with the police trying to chase him down. He zooms through the crowds as he makes his escape while at the same time not trying to push anyone down in the process with both unicorns and earth ponies behind him. He was giving his wings a break after having used them for nearly two hours now. So he has been taking advantage of the large crowds in the city to keep his distance between him and his pursuers. He runs through busy streets that have constant flows of traffic, leaping and dodging over any obstacles in his way.

“Stop running, it is pointless to do so!”

Shouted the head police officer of the pack. Mystogan looked back slightly and responded. He was actually having quite a fun time running away from the police. He wasn’t sure of what he did, but it was a good time for sure.

“Maybe you guys and girls wouldn’t have such a hard time catching me if you laid off the donuts huh?! Just some friendly advice!”

Mystogan didn’t know why, but he felt much lighter and faster on his feet. As if running wasn’t taxing on his body. As if something was carrying him from his feet paws. He soon comes to what he sees is the city’s train station. At least that what it looked like. The unicorns try to restrain him with their magic. But to no avail, he seemed to have gained a great deal of some kind of energy during this whole ordeal. The police noticed that he was getting harder to pin down and becoming more elusive in his movements. Mystogan runs into the station and makes his way into the yard where the trains are. He sees a gate starting to lower to block off his exit to the trains, however, this does not stop him as he baseball slides under the gate right before it hits the ground. He looks back a moment to see the police ponies struggling to get the gate back up. He laughs lightly and waves to them before leaping on top of a train that was leaving the station by flapping his wings and jumping at the same time. This gave him a sort of long and high jump ability without having to use much energy to move about like flying does. However, he felt like this should have been a bit more difficult than what it was. Did he develop some kind of burst of energy from all the flying and running he did? He really didn’t care at this point. He was out of the station and away from the reaches of the law. He falls back on top of the train car he stood on and lets out a sigh of relief.

“Whew, that was fun and all, but I think it’s time for a little nap. Wonder where this train may be heading…oh well!”

He said as he closed his eyes and dozed off into a nap. He was is a dream where there was nothing but a bright blue sky and clouds under his paws. He walked around and looked about until a tall white mare with an autumn mane and tail approached him with a smile. She placed her hands behind her back and nodded to him in greeting.

“Hello again, Mystogan. I see you are adjusting to this world nicely~. You looked like you were having quite the fun time evading the authorities and I couldn’t help but watch. You are very quick with moving and thig on your feet.”

He couldn’t help but laugh lightly and give a gentle shrug of his shoulders. He didn’t find it odd that he was talking to a mare well above the ground standing on clouds in his dreams. It was a dream after all. His gaze fell upon her for a moment. She was so pretty. And a wonderful figure as well. She felt his blue eyes tracing up and down her form which made her blush lightly and giggles.

“It’s impolite to stare you know.”

She said in a joking manner. He just laughed and brought his gaze up to her again.

“Sorry, just couldn’t help myself. Usually, when I am dreaming I tend to avoid all the rules of the real world. I am one of those lucky few who can tell what is real and what is not in the dream world. It’s pretty fun actually.”

“Oh my...a lucid dreamer? I think my youngest daughter is going to like you quite a bit. She controls all dreams you know. But she can only visit ones like yours when you are the one who is in control of your own.”

“So tell me. Why am I having a dream about you? I feel like I have met you before. But the memory just isn’t there….in fact a lot of my memory doesn’t appear to be in my head. It seems like my whole past just...up and vanished on me.”

“Well, that is what you wished for Mystogan. You wished for a new start in a new world. And your wish was granted.”

She said as she brought up a moving image. It should a hooded female and him in some kind of park speaking. He blinks a few times and watches the imagines like a movie being played out before him. He noticed that he looked so...unhappy and just tired of living in these images though. Like he had enough of his life and just didn’t really care. After it was shown, she looks back at him with a slight smile.

“I am the one who fulfilled your wish. I knew it would benefit us both in the end. After all, I am sure you still remember the promise you made me.”

He thought hard about it for a moment. And he does remember his words he spoke. But where and when did it happen? This was getting weirder and weirder by the moment. Did he really ask for a new life and a new world to live in? And someone actually granted his wish? If an all-powerful being even took notice of his wish let alone him, then there must be truth to this mare’s claim. She walks up to him with a warm gaze and places her hands on his shoulders. She leans in and gently nuzzles the side of his nuzzle in an affectionate manner.

“Let’s just say...I watched you for a long time. And all that misery you have had to deal with was ready to be cashed in for something good. And with that, you made me a promise. So It was only fair. Wouldn’t you think?”

He felt her soft form press against him. She smelled nice and her fur was super soft and silky as he placed his claws on her upper arms gently. He was a bit nervous now. Drams reached a certain point on the senses of course. But this felt all too real. The sense of smell and touch were never this strong in his dreams. But he doesn’t let this knock him off his train of thought.

“I also couldn’t help but notice earlier when I was running from the cops that I was actually lighter and faster than I was when I woke from….whatever happened. Is that your doing as well?”

She shook her head and giggled lightly.

“The world I created is full of magic and takes into account of the beings to live within it. You are a dragonwolf. So that means your dragon side is giving you abilities that ponies would not gain. And what’s more is that your dragon element is wind. The world is becoming used to you. And therefore giving you the magic that rightfully belongs to you according to what you are. And you are part wind dragon. So now you are gaining the ability to control and create wind at will to use it however you wish.”

“Huh, that sounds like some kind of nifty fantasy RPG game. Except now it’s real. Neat. One question, however. Why did you drop me in an alleyway in a city? You obviously wanted me to go elsewhere. I am just curious is all.”

She giggles lightly and lightly boops his nose with an index finger.

“Oh, I just wanted to play with you is all. Besides, if I just took you where you needed to go, you wouldn’t have discovered your abilities the fun way. After all, you lived in a larger city like that one from where you came from.”

“Huh...so that explains why i was able to maneuver around so easily. I suppose while my memories aren’t there, my skills and instincts I have gained and learned over the years still remain. Good to know.”

A hole in the clouds suddenly open up behind Mystogan and Faust smiles to him as she steps back and pushes him back with a hand to his chest. She giggles lightly and speaks to him once more before vanishing as he starts to dive down to the earth.

"More will be revealed...but for now, enjoy the new world you now live in. See you soon."

Mystogan continued to fall head first down to the earth. A smile slowly formed on his face as he opens his wings and begins to soar through the skies and glide down toward the earth. He had a feeling it was no longer a dream when he could feel her pushing him down. After clearing the cloud, his was amazed at what he saw from where he flew. The world was bright colored and beautiful from his height. He could see rivers, lakes, valleys and so much more. Even more impressive is that he saw a castle sitting on the side of a mountain along with what appeared to be a town. He flew through the sky drifting from side to side and just enjoying the air against his form. He had never flown like this before and it was amazing. He even held his arms out to his side as he examined his new world from above. Eventually, he made it to a small town below as he got closer. From what he could see, it was full of ponies as well. He could also make out a farm in the distance just on the outer parts of the town. He then made his way to fly to the castle and the town below it. However, as he flew over, he had caught the eyes of one of Equestria’s rulers. Hey lavender gaze watching Mystogan fly through the air made her wonder what he was exactly. He certainly was an odd sight to behold as she watched him through her spyglass. Once he headed back to the town he flew for the first time. The alicorn mare placed a hand on her chin in thought and all that was heard was a light ‘Hmmm…’.

Mystogan lands in the middle of the town square and wastes no time in beginning to look around. Little did he know that he was going to bump into another dragon that would become his best friend for a long time to come. As he walked along looking at the scenery he suddenly feels someone bump into him.

“Oof!”

They both let out. The smaller one fell back onto his rear while Mystogan staggered back slightly. He saw that the smaller one dropped quite a few things and Mystogan was quick to help pick up the items.

“Oh damn...I am so so sorry about that. I should have paid more attention to where I was going. I am sorry about that.”

“Nah, it’s okay, I really wasn’t doing the same either. Looks like we both need to watch out huh?”

Mystogan laughed lightly and stacked the papers and quills nicely before handing them off to….a dragon? Well, he certainly didn’t expect that when he came here. But when the younger dragon looked up at him. He backs away a bit with a look of concern in his eyes. Mystogan realized this right away and smiles lightly.

“Not to worry little guy, I am just a lost dragonwolf exploring a new world is all. I am not threat to you.”

The dragon blinks a few times. He got the dragon part from looking at him. But as he inspected closer, he did notice that he did have wolf features and traits. Which made him tilt his head.

“There...are dragonwolves in our world? Boy, wait until Twilight years about this. She is gonna flip. Sorry about the look I gave you earlier. You do look rather intimidating and...mean. The last run in I had with my kind was less than pleasant. They tried to hurt me and my friends. But, you haven’t been like that to me as of yet. Thanks for helping me pick up my stuff by the way. I’ll go ahead and take it back.”

Mystogan noticed that the young dragon was struggling to carry most of the load in his arms. So Mystogan places the rest on top but then takes half the full stack back in his arms. Offering the little dragon a hand in carrying the things to his destination.

“I’d be more than happy to help you out kiddo. Just point the way to where yo8u need it taken to and I’ll follow you.”

“Wow...you really don’t have to mister. But thanks a lot. Just follow me then. By the way, my name is Spike. What’s yours?”

“My name is Mystogan, it is a pleasure to meet you, Spike. On and there is only one dragonwolf in this world. As far as I know anyways. How that came to be is a long story. Maybe I can tell it to you...if I ever get my memories back anyways.”

“You lost your memories? That’s gotta be tough...but at least you are alright.”

As they walked along to where Spike was headed, the seemed to click instantly as they joked around and talked like they were old friends. They made it to the destination about ten minutes. As they walk into the structure, Mystogan took notice that it was literally inside a large tree and appeared to be a library. He actually thought it was pretty nifty how a tree was hollowed out and transformed into a building structure. He sets the items next to the spot where Spike had set the others. Spike turned and smiled up at Mystogan. The little purple and green dragon wore a pair of loose-fitting blue jeans and a red short-sleeved t0shirt. He certainly didn’t need much, much like Mystogan. All he wore was shine length shorts, a black t-shirt, and his leather coat.

“Oh, wait here a sec. I am going to go grab Twilight. Oh, I can wait to see her reaction when she sees you…”

Before Mystogan could say anything else, Spike runs up the stairs and started shouting.

“Twi, hurry, you gotta come meet my new friend! He is half dragon half wolf, it’s amazing!”

“Oh come on Spike, there is no such thing as hybrids like that in our world. Did you go out and get the material ne-.”

Spike walked up beside Mystogan and held his hand out towards him, showing that there was indeed a dragonwolf standing in the very same room they Twilight was in. She was looking at him like she had fallen in love for the first time...well with science anyway. She slowly approached him with shimmers in her eyes and a rather adorable smile on her face.

“Oh my sweet Celestia. A dragon AND a wolf in one being...this is amazing! I cannot believe that I am seeing this! This is impossible, you are not scientifically possible!. You have to tell me about how your kind came to be! I must know now!”

Spike stood there with a knowing smile and arched a brow.

“Told you.”

He said in a smug tone. What has Mystogan gotten into now…?
