“GET MOVING!!”

“AAAHHH!!” I screamed as he whipped me.

It's been three months since I was kidnapped from my home in ponyville and forced into slavery. They broke my wings and put a metal color on me so my friends can't find me. Oh sorry my names Fluttershy.

Once I finished packing up the inter camp. I started pulling the cart that was extremely difficult and if I don't move fast enough they whip me. So I just look at the ground and do what I'm told

(Three hours later)

“Hold up! Excuse me but would a adventurer like yourself be interested in a slave?” Asked the leader

I looked up to see what a extremely armor dragon. His tail is a icy blue and seven spikes at the end. Over all he looks like a Noble.

“I'm sorry but did you just asked if I wanted to buy a slave.” his voice was gravely but carried a heavy edge to it as if he was starting to become infuriated.

“Why yes I did, and your in luck we have one left we we-”

“You're going release her or you will face my justice.” there was a deadly Aura coming off of them now is this the feeling of ‘you're going to die’ as would Angel bunny put it.

“HA HA HA you really think you can intimidate me there's one of you and fourty of us? HA HA COME ON OUT BOYS!” the other slaver’s came with swords and daggers in they mouths.

The dragon clam draws his sword. The sword is a dull gray with six slots, on the hilt of the blade was a small sapphire. Suddenly the sapphire flashed as the blade was covered in blue fire.

I closed my eyes as the sound of metal against metal and the sound of... glass shattering? After ten minutes the sound of fighting stopped I opened my eyes to see red ice scattered against ground and, the dragon walking over to me! I closed my eyes tight and slightly shaking with fear.

“Are you alright Miss?” I opened my eyes again to see him kneeling in front of me. I could see his eyes they were a light brown.

“Oh um Fluttershy and um yes I-I’m fine.” I lied trying to make it look as if wings don't hurt. But he wasn't buying it as touch my injured wing causing me yelp out in pain.

He slowly took out bottle filled with green liquid and gave it to me. “Here drink this it'll help.”

He stood up and then and asked a question. “Tell where do you live?”

“Um ponyville sir.” I started to drink it, it tastes like honey and something else. I started to notice I didn't feel pain any more. I looked at my wings to find them perfectly fine. I looked back to him to see him looking at a map.

“Mm something's not right. You said you were from ponyville yes?”

“Yes that's right, is something wrong?”

“Maybe, do you remember taking a boat across the sea?”

“No why?”

“*sigh* I'm sorry to say but your in Griffin kingdom.”

“W-W-WHAT?!”

“Now to find the reason why they didn't sell you Equestria because there are closer slave markets.” He said as walked to carriage and started to look through it.

I don't know how I'm going to home. Maybe I this dragon can help me get home.

(POV Jay the dragon)

Ok to find out why. As I looked through the carriage I eventually found a scroll I pulled it out and started reading.

I prince Blueblood hear by higher the slaver community to kidnap Fluttershy the element of kindness. Complete this and you shall receive 50,000 bits.

New question why would a prince do this? Mm I think about that later for now I need to get her home. I put the scroll in side pocket and walk over to Fluttershy and pick her up and put on carriage. She's so out of it I don't think noticed me pick her up.

I walk over to the rope that's tied to the carriage and started to pull. I looked back at her and she this far off look in eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Hey if it makes you feel any better I plan on taking you home.”

“R-Really?”

“Yeah but we need to get some supplies before we can start our just. Oh yeah do mind looking at my money and see if it'll work here?”

“Um sure?”

I lifted up my right leg armor plate revealing a small bag of gold and platinum coins. I then unhooked it and gave it to Fluttershy. In all honesty is was a little over 50 dollars.

“Um what is this coin made out of? If you don't mind me asking?” She asked as she held up a platinum coin.

“Oh that's easy it's made platinum. Why is something wrong?” I asked as her jaw fell open.

“D-do you know how much this is?”

“Om yeah it's one dollar.” I said generally confused.

“Om no not exactly more like 100,000 bits at the minimum and there is like 55 of this things!”

“Dam that a lot plus that chest of gold coins. We're set! But we buy some food I doubt you would want eat something that another's blood on it.”

“Yeah good call, hey have you ever had a pet?” She asked with a small smile

“Er yeah I do but don't think she'll like you.”

“Why? I think she'll like me I use to take care of animals.”

“Eh yeah she's a little overprotective of me.” I said trying to let her know she will bite her a lot if she tries to get near me. Suddenly I feel sparky shifting inside of the armor (don't ask me why she likes to sleep there) I look inside and lucky she still asleep. When I looked up to Fluttershy she was me the puppy eyes. Those eyes, should be outlawed, there just not fair. “Ok ok! Please stop the cuteness!” She started to blushing “hey sparky please wake up. (Nothing) I got bacon.” An instantaneously she got out of my chest plate and was sitting on my shoulder giving me a smile. That was until she saw Fluttershy, she immediately took a threatening standts and started to hiss at Fluttershy. (This is what she looks like)

Fluttershy sees this starts whisper soft reinsurances but that just makes it worse she starts charge up lighting. (Interesting fact did you know that the baby tobi kadachi has poison that becomes more deadly the more energy that is stored.)

“Uh Fluttershy I'd back off before she bites you. Sparky can you please calm down.” Fluttershy backs up and sparky seeing this starts to calm down if only a little bit. “Sparky this is Fluttershy and she used to be a slave so we’ll taking her home. So can you please try?” she looked sad before back at Fluttershy she hangs her head and doesn't meet her eyes. “Would be ok if Fluttershy pets you?” She gives a sad nod as I extend my arm. She slowly walks over to Fluttershy. Fluttershy slowly raises a hoof and ever so gently puts it sparky’s head and she flinches.

I pull out some bacon and give it to sparky she immediately takes it and starts eating so I put her next to Fluttershy and get back to pulling the cart.

As we inter the town named Griffin's beck we get some stairs. Probably the blood on the side of the cart. When we finally reached the market I started buying food, herbs firewood and sleeping bags a map a grinding stone two canteens big enough to hold two gallons of water.

Soon enough we’re leaving the town and back on the road, Fluttershy sparky seem to be getting along pretty good. Soon enough me Fluttershy started talking about her home. It's kinda cute how much talks about her animals and her friends. She also the element of kindness, go figure.

“So what's your home like?” Asked Fluttershy I grimace at the question

“*sigh* I'd be lying if I said it was great. My childhood was what the definition of he'll. I was beaten, tested on and nearly die from them rather than monsters I hunted. When I was eight I found out why they kept me alive. My father was apparently a god that kept world from killing itself. When he felt someone interning he's room. When he saw they had weapons he thought they were going kill my egg, so he fought to protect me and died. An after a year there world started to start taking a turn for the worse. So they came back to my father's resting place looking for answers. They found my egg thought they use me make they're perfect world. So I ran and ran eventually I want vengeance for what they did to me. So I made a new race to fight them I invented weapons to fight them as well. I was fourteen at the time.” I look back at Fluttershy who as tears in her eyes. Suddenly she jumps at me, hugging me as she cries into my armored chest.

After a hour her tears finally stopped as looks up at me and smiles. “Jay is it ok if I see your face?”

“Ok” slowly I take off my helmet and let her see what I prefer to keep hidden. My golden hair falls to my shoulder as lack of a haircut clearly shows. And my two tone blue and white is beat it with sweat.

(Tail is a dark blue and horns in the hair.)

“So how do I look?” She started to hide behind her hair.

“H-h-hot.” She said barely above a whisper I almost missed but my dragon hearing heard it. And I blushing up a storm as I stutter trying to say thank you.

So for the rest of we ignored the fact that I stuttered for probably 3 minutes trying to say thank you before I actually saying thank you. And for the rest of the day I learned more about her than I think I knew about anybody else.
