The heart of a dragon

It's been three weeks since me and Fluttershy started our journey. And we’ve learning more and more about each other. Like I can't stand cook evil or how she can't stand people that think there better than others. (Can't blame her) one of her friends named Twilight apparently when they first met she couldn't keep her head out of a book. She also gave me warning about someone named pinkie pie that I should never her tell I've never had party before. So yeah that's about most we did on the road was talk.

As of right now we're setting up camp right next to some old runes. And what's worse is I have itch a the back of head telling me go exploring and find it's treasures. About three hours after of just sitting there watching the fire as Fluttershy cooked I snapped. “Welp I don't know about you but I'm going check those ruins over there for a treasure.”

“Well ok dinner will probably be done by time you get back.”

“Ok bye, sparky keep Fluttershy safe.” Sparky gave me a salute as she stood on her hind legs.

I walked walked over to the front door or what I think it is, and start inspecting it. A simple stone door with writing on it. But it's hard to read with all the dust. So I used my hand wipe it off. But I still can't read it. Suddenly it glowed a bright gold as words started to appear.

Answer this riddle, and the door will open for you.
Thirty white ponies on a red hill,
first champ, then stamp, and then stand still.

What am I?

'oh it's one of those runes. Ok.’ I stood there for a couple of minutes until it hit me. “The answer is teeth!” and with that the opened. I looked inside and couldn't see a thing. So against my better judgement I walked inside, this was mistake as door slammed shut behind me. As I pulled out a torch stone and some leather. (A torch stone is a special type of stone then when it strikes against something you will instantly catch it Ablaze.) I held up the burning leather and saw a small pot in the corner filled with a black sludge, and above it more glowing words.

Light this with no magic and you may enter with guidance.
Light with magic, and you will suffer.

'good thing I can do that.’ as I held the bruring leather up to the pot and slowly dipped it into the pot. *BOOM!* The sludge exploded into a fiery vortex of flame nearly burning me. “Ok that wasn't very smart.” I said tried to put out my hair out. Suddenly a rumbling sound was heard, and the back wall split in two, revealing a lit hallway to me. “Nice!” I said as walked down the hallway. After ten minutes I stopped as the floor was highly suspicious. I could easily see the pressure plates and the multiple cut marks on the ground and walls so I just walk around the pressure plates.

Soon I neared a dead end, “well what now?” suddenly as if answering my question more words and puzzle appeared.

Fix the image shown before you, and you will pass
Fail to do so, and you will die.

“Great puzzles! The one thing I'm horrible at.” I looked closer at the image and it looked like a cute little Sphinx. “Welp let's get this over with.”

One hour of me trying and finally figured it out later

“One more piece!” I said as sild the last piece into place then the wall started to retract into the wall. “You know this is the nice runes I have ever been in. No giant lova scorpions no giant spiders no giant snakes and no swimming for eight hours just to get a key.” I said walked down the hall or that was until I found a giant hole with spider webbing. “*sigh* I spoke to soon. Welp I'll deal with it now so I don't have to later.” I said as pulled out bomb pod and a slinger. I put the slinger on and then shot the bomb down the hole. *Multiple hissing* “oh shit!”

(POV Fluttershy)

“Do you think he's okay?” I got small hiss from sparky “oh your right I need to go go help him!” Sparky gave me long hiss. “What do mean 'he doesn't need are help’?” Sparky gave me a deadpan stare before a smug look then hissed. I blushed profusely “w-w-what I d-do n-not like him!” She had a grin as hissed. “Y-you saw that and heard that?!” she gave a nod “oh my” her grin turned into a devilish grin as hissed again. “You wouldn't dare would you?” She didn't say anything as she ran over to rune door. “NNNOOO!” I yelled as I ran after her. I slowly I caught up to her and then scooped her up in my hooves sending us tumbling to the ground. “Please don't tell him!”

(POV Jay)

“And that's eighteen, god I hate spiders. Ok now what were you protecting.” I said as jumped off the dead spider. I walked over to the wall and used my sword to cut though the webs. As interred the room I noticed a huge ass chest in middle of the room. I cut my way over to the chest. When I finally get to it I opened it and to say I was disappointed was a understatement. All that was in there was clothes the type female royalty might wear. I sighed as I exited the room but as payback I was going to set the spiders on fire but there gone. Nothing, no green blood on the wall, no ice shards on the ground. I put my sword into the light void. (Instead of a black void it's white.) “Goddamn magical self cleaning spiders.” I grumble to myself as I made my way through the hallway. I eventually got a room that had many pedestal with gems on them, and in the middle of the room was the biggest diamond I have ever seen. I walked up to the diamond, “damn that's beautiful diamond.” I looked at the pedestal it was on as it started to glow.

Make this Diamond glow with bright light,
so the path before you can be set alight.

I looked around the room as I noticed that I needed to push them into place. “Well at least there's no ice on the floor.” I said as I started to move them into place. Eventually I got them into place which was a pain in ass.

The diamond glowed a bright red before sinking into the ground. It turned a bit to the left before a clicking sound was heard, and the door fell into the ground and revild a hallway but it was different the floor had grass covering it, and the walls had vines covering them. From the ceiling houg white crystal's that glowed softly as it gave off just enough light to keep the plants alive. Overall it looks just plain creepy.

But I disgrace, I made my through the hallway and eventually I came to a room with a large skylight in the roof, with a large patch of trees and other plants and beyond the plants, sat a large wooden door that looked like it was made out of branches. In the middle of the room sat a pedestal made out of branches and embedded in the pedestal was a yellow gem that glowed softly before words appeared. I walked over to the pedestal to read it better.

Sing a song to the plants, their reactions may vary.
Sing good, and they will let thee pass.
Sing bad, and thou will never pass.

“So I good to go through the door? Ohm ok let's see what to sing?” I snapped my fingers and ghostly band appeared. “ok got it!”

“Blue sky blue
Come on shine your rays
On another fool's day
Just to help them get right through
All the cash is down
You're on the ground
But your heart is mighty true
And it's up to you now

Blue sky blue
Come on close those eyes
And realize
What your dreams want you to do
If the dream is gone
It ain't all wrong
You gotta drag yourself on through
And it's up to you now

You say love's gonna set me free
I'd move heaven and earth just to be
One step closer to your family tree
Take my soul now as your guarantee

Blue sky blue
Come on take your aim
And play my game
I'll open heaven up for you
Look into my eyes
And realize
There's no spell placed on you
And it's up to you now

You say love's gonna set me free
I'd move heaven and earth just to be
One step closer to your family tree
Take my soul now as your guarantee [2]

Blue sky blue what we supposed to do
If we can't get through one day just me and you
Wipe them tears away you're pushing through
You know
Hard times need us to keep cool
And if you're wondering the vision and the future I see
Like you and miss Manafre underneath the family tree
We can play
Singing songs every day
And if you're falling down my friend
I will pick you up again

Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue
Blue sky blue”

I looked around and noticed that the grass looks darker as door unraveled itself as it opened to revealed a stone with a red carpet and tortures lining of the walls. As I made my to next hallway I sore I could hear sniffling. But I ignored it and kept going. Soon I made it door and as I put my hands on the door more words appeared.

Beyond this door lies your last challenge.
Succeed, and you have rightfully earned the heart of the Temple
Fail, and you will die
When you are ready, knock on the door.

I knocked three times and door slowly opened. To reveal a massive room and in the middle of it was a massive bed. And I was already on edge because of how deadly quiet and whatever slept on that bed.

Well, hello there sirrr~," said a seductive, velvety voice, I summoned my sword and whipped around and swing my sword nearly taking off whoever spokes head off. “Careful with that you nearly took my head off.” Once I was able to get a better look at it it was a sphinx it was about two feet taller than me.

“So if you can put the sword up so we start your test.” She said as shuffle uncomfortably.

I nodded as I made my sword vanished. “So what's this test you mentioned?”

“Oh it's simple really, we will be doing a riddle challenge. I will give you three riddles. If you get even one of them wrong, it's bye-bye life. If you get all three right, you then have to tell me three riddles. If I can't get one right, which is highly unlikely by the way, then you will have won the challenge."

“okay I'll play but before we start my name's Jay.” I said as I stuck hand out for her to shake.

“Sky” she said as she put a paw in my hand. We shook once before letting go. “Here is the first riddle, Until I am measured I am not known, Yet how you miss me when I have flown.

What Am I?"

“It is time.” I said she showed no emotion as she spoke. “That is correct. On to the next riddle. It is much more difficult… Voiceless it cries, Wingless flutters, Toothless bites, Mouthless mutters, What Am I?"

I stood for a couple of minutes thinking and as I did a smirk appeared on her face and only disappear as I answered “wind”. She started growled in displeasure. “Okay this is my last riddle… A criminal was kept in a tower that was 150 ft high. From his accomplice, he got a pair of scissors and a rope. Unfortunately, the rope was just 75 ft long. Despite this, the next day the prison authorities discovered that the criminal had escaped. It's known for sure that he cut his rope in the middle. How did the criminal manage to escape?”

I crossed my arms and started to think after thirty minutes sky started to impatient. “well what is it?” She growed

“Simple he cut it down the middle.” I answered

“Okay it's your turn, do your best.” She said smiling

“Okay I'll hold you to that, What always ends everything?”

She thought for a couple of minutes before answering “its the letter g.”

“the man who invented it doesn't need it, the man that bought it doesn't want it, the man that needs it doesn't know, what is it?”

Her smile vanished as she started to think hard but eventually she got it. “A coffin!” she said excitedly

“Correct here is the last one… A rooster lays an egg at the very top of a slanted roof. Which side is the egg going to roll off on?”

Her eyes widened, and she sat down thinking for several minutes. Eventually I decided to end it, and said, "What is your answer?"

“T-the l-left, no! The right! I-I-I don't know.” she said as she sat there stunned

“Well I guess I win, do you want to know the answer?” She nodded “the answer is a rooster doesn't lay eggs.”

She stared at me for several seconds, before facepalming herself, hard.

“Are you okay sky?” I asked

"No!" she cried out tears filling her eyes. "I can't believe I lost. And to a stupid riddle like that!" And with that, she put her head in her paws and started crying, I got on to my knees and pulled her into a hug. Her breathing hitched for a second before she spoke “why are you hugging me?” She asked somewhat shaky.

“Because I know losing hurts, especially for a dumb reason but you know what they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. That and you looked like you need one.” I added with a soft smile

She chuckled lately at that before talking “thanks I'm fine, you should go now.”

“You sure?” She nodded “okay I'll see you later, sky.” I said as I walked over to the next door to and it opened and I walked through waving goodbye.

“Safe travels, my king~” she said seductively but before could ask what she meant the closed behind me. I shook my head and continued walking down the hall until I stood in front of a massive gold door with red heart in the middle. Upon closer inspection there was a transcript embedded into the door that glowed softly and a gold light.

In this chamber lies the heart of the Temple,
an artifact that will help you find your true love,
and change their form to be together.
Give respect, and it will respect you.
Disrespect, and it will hurt you.

If I'm being honest I would love to find love. So I pushed the massive door open. To reveal a large room that was covered in carvings and in the middle of the room was a Crystal heart floating above a pedestal. I slowly made my way over to the pedestal. As I stood in front of it more words appeared.

One final test you must take,
Before you can make your escape.
This heart is full of unimaginable power
If you take it, what will you do with this power
Your heart will give you the truth to say
So say it and receive your gifts right away

“Mmm what would I do with the power? I would probably use it to protect my friend and if I found love I would use to make sure that they are love and cared for. So I would use it for the best of my abilities.”

The heart glow with recognition before it flashed brightly. When the light died out, it was gone. I turned around trying to find it but I noticed the weight of my armor was different. I looked down and saw my armor is now white steel with gold lining the chest plate and making up the belt of the armor there was also a cape.

As I was checking myself out I heard five girly screams. I quickly turned around to see five anthro girls. A Sphinx, a fox, a wolf and two (what I think are alcorns.) All naked, I blushed profusely but ignored it and I ran over to them trying get them to calm down so I could talk to them. So I decided to do something that calms Fluttershy down. (She said a hug can calm anyone down. Also hears what they look like)

“Why are you hugging us?” The Sphinx who I think was sky asked, the other girls equally confused

“Well I thought it help calm you down.” I answered with a bit of a studer

“Well umm I'll be honest and say thank you for that it helped a lot.” Said the dark blue alcorn, the others agreeing with her

“So umm can you please tell me why your all here?” I asked not really looking at them as turned my head to the left

“Umm we were coming to ask you if you would like to be in relationship with us. If you're interested in why well umm each one of us has seen at least one of your challenges.” sky said with a little bit of a blush

“I was at the first challenge, I thought it was funny how you reacted to blowing yourself up. My name's foxy.” Said the fox

“I was in the diamond room and umm in my culture a girl makes a necklace out of the first gem we find but I found a diamond which means I had two options one I marry the alpha or I become a healer So I became a healer. And when I heard you talking about the diamond it made my heart beat really fast. Oh my name's Selene.”

“Well me and my sister woke up here and we were both in forest room and you stole our hearts with that song of yours. My name is daybreaker and my sisters name is nightmare moon.”

“Hey why are you not looking at us?” asked nightmare moon as she moved head so I was looking at her but my eyes looked down. I instantly blushed and looked away.

“Well it's your all naked and we'll it's wrong for me to stare at you. And to answer your first question I would love to have you if you would have me.” my answer was meant with them quite literally tackling me to the ground and kissing me repeatedly. “So I'll take that as a yes?” My question received deadpan stare. “Anyway we should get you girls some clothes.”

“Why what's wrong with our body's?” asked Selene

“Nothing there perfect to me but I don't think you want others to stare or try to do something.” I replied

“Oh well when you put it like that I guess you're right. But where are we going to them?” daybreaker asked

I thought for moment before remembering the chest that was in the spider room. “Well there is a room that had a massive chest.”

Meanwhile in canterlot castle

The sun was slowly set as princess Celestia Luna, Discord and the main six all sat in the Royal dining room as they were waiting for dinner to be served.

“So Twilight I heard you plan to date prince Blueblood may I know what brought you to is?” asked princess Celestia

“Well it was brought to my attention that I will have to marry a prince or general and I went to the only pony I could think of at the moment. Fluttershy help me put together a list of potential husbands and he came out as the best possible output.” Answered twilight

“Best output my ass” both princess Luna and Rarity said under their breaths

“Well I ho-” princess Celestia was cut off as horn blaring so loud it shook the castle. Celestia's and Luna's eyes went wide with horror

“CELESTIA! LUNA!” Suddenly creatures covered in golden armor came crashing through the window. Soon castle guards came and tried to kill to Intruders only to be horrible beaten.

They are angles. Princess Celestia, Luna and Discord jumped up from there sits just as the leader of the angels flu into the the room followed by archangels of truth and justice.

The king

Angel of truth

Angel of justice

“Celestia, Luna, Discord do you know why I am here?” the King asked his voice deadly serious, they shivered slightly by his tone.

“HEY WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TALK TO THE PRINCESSES LIKE THAT?!” Yelled Rainbow Dash as she to get out of her chair and tackle the King, but before she could a sword stop just short of her neck as a angel guard stood next to her.

“N-No Sir we do not.” Answered Celestia with fear in her voice.

“John can you please show the princess what my son but show proof.” The king asked a guard to his right. His guard without saying anything drove his sword into Fluttershy's heart.

“FLUTTERSHY!!!” The main six scarmed “YOU MONSTER! YOU KILLED HER MY FRIEND!” Twilight yelled

the King lightly chuckled “oh that's not Fluttershy.” They looked back at Fluttershy's body to see it replaced by a dead changeling. “You must be wondering how I figured it out? You see the real Fluttershy is with my son Jay and as of right now she my son's girlfriend or one of them so I look around it find out why she was sold into slavery. Or that was until found this.” With a snap of his fingers a scroll appeared in his hand it was rolled up with a royal seal on it. He looked at it briefly before tossing it to Celestia. “Why don't you read it out loud for us?”

Celestia nodded as she started to read. “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. I I don't understand?”

“*Sigh* Discord could you teleport Blueblood here?” Discord nodded before opening a portal and pulling Blueblood through.

“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS DISCORD I COULD HAVE YOU HEAD IF I WANTED TO!”

“Sorry but your grandson is beyond evil compared to Discord… you remember Gabe or how he prefers the angel of truth?” Celestia nodded the King looked at truth “do you mind telling them what he's done?” Gabe nodded floated in front of Blueblood

“What the buck are you?!”

“Prince Blueblood you have done many terrible things I am here to read them off. First degree manslaughter, planning of assassinations, rape of women and children, slavery, stealing money from royalty, treason, the selling illegal documents, pains on using twilight sparkle to take the crown, the buying of mind control spells.”

“How could I not know he lives down the hall?” Celestia asked herself as the angel of truth continued.

After he finishes the King speaks up “*Sigh* well I'll be going I doubt the wife wants me gone for to long. Twilight if you want to date someone try Jay he's quite the scientist if you're interested.” After hearing the science part she was interested. “Celestia, Luna I should also mention your sisters are with him.” The princesses were confused by this. “Good bye for now.” The King the guards and the archangels started to leave but before justice left he cut off Blueblood’s horn.

Back with Jay

When we got out of the ruins and back to the campsite I found Fluttershy sitting in a pile of blankets, and by the looks of it she changed to. The rest of the night was spent about each other.(Here's what Fluttershy looks like and what the girls pick out to wear)

This is also what she's wearing

Selene

Foxy
