“~Happy Birthday to you!~” Said everyone to Aza as she smirked at her Ice Cream Cake that Pinkie Pie brought in.

“Here you go!” Cheered Pinkie as she tossed sprinkles in the air. “I never thought I would celebrate anypony’s birthday this early in the morning!”

“Anyone.” Solo corrected her “She’s no pony.” He said as Everyone took a slice of cake.

“Also, she wants her birthday gift to spend the rest of the day in the Frozen North.” Said Sky as Pinkie looked surprised as she looked at Jelly.

“The Frozen North is considered the beach and paradise for Ice Dragons.” She said “Like how the deepest part of the ocean is my paradise. The tastiest kelp and seaweeds taste so good when grown deep.” She said as Aza took a huge bite of her cake.

“The Frozen North… untamed and unspoiled from ponies because it’s too cold for them is my happiness.” She said with happiness which made Pinkie feel hurt until Solo explained.

“It’s her nature to be literally cold-hearted. Besides, until winter comes, you can play with her all season long.” He said with a smirk as Aza’s eyes widened in shock as Pinkie hugged her tightly.

“I’LL GIVE YOU THE BEST FUN TIME IN WINTER FOR EVERY YEAR!!!” She yelled as she bounces out of the house as Aza snarled at Solo.

“There goes my relaxation, you asshole!” She snarled at Solo.

“Stop complaining, she’ll only bug you only in winter.”

“FUCK YOU!!!” She said as the Minotaur looked at Solo and the others.

“Is she always like this?” Asked Toru as both Jelly and Sky nodded as Solo nodded as well.

“Only when her personal time is ruined, and she doesn’t care for anything.” He said as they just watched Solo getting ready to go. “We’ll be back before midnight.” Said as they head out for the north as Jelly and the others smirked.

“Moving pictures for the rest of the day?” Asked Jelly as they prepared to get the snacks.

At the Frozen North
Solo and Azza crossed their arms as they almost reached where the Crystal Empire was once there. “We’re finally here. The Frozen North. The only place where a cold-blooded creature like me can enjoy in peace.” Said Azza as Solo rolled his eyes.

“Still fail to understand what kind of kingdom would be built in The Frozen North. Even if they have an artifact that creates a barrier to protect them from the continuing harsh snowing, it’s still moronic, if you ask me.” He said.

“Well moronic or not. It’s gone now and The Frozen North belongs to those who can naturally live in this paradise. Ice Dragons, polar bears.” Said Azza.

“Yaks.” Said Solo as he said.

“Yeah them too. This area belongs to those who aren’t using something to keep them forever warm because they can’t control the weather.” She said as she mocked every warm blood as the train staff member let them out.

“T-T-T-T- The Frozen… North!” He said while shivering. “We… won’t be… a-a-a-a-able to pick… y-y-y-y-y-you up till tomorrow!” He said as Solo handed him a bag of bits.

“We’ll go home by teleporting.” He said, “There’s extra bits as a tip for you and the conductor for bringing us here.” He said as they exited out from the passenger car as Azza was enjoying the below temperatures as the staff member was confused.

“How can a dragon enjoy these conditions? I thought they like fire, lava, and heat?” He said as Solo covered his mouth.

“She’s an Ice Dragon.” Said Solo “They hate to be mistaken for Fire Dragons.” He explained as he walked out as the train left as Solo followed Azza as the staff member watched them leave.

“An Ice Dragon? Now I seen everything.” He said as he shut the door to get some hot chocolate to warm himself up.

4 Hours Later
Solo was reading a book inside a barrier he made as he was reading a book, near a fire he made. He looked up to see Azza came out of the water in a swimsuit holding a harpoon with some fish that were pierced. “I got myself some lunch!” She said happily as Solo looked up.

“You’re cooking that you know.” He said.

“Cooking? No, no.” She said as she lifted the harpoon in the air as the fish froze instantly. “Frozen is way delicious.” She announced as she took a huge bite out of her fish as she was making a lot of crunching sounds.

“No thanks. I rather eat them raw or cooked.” He said.

“You’re a pony. I thought they were herbivores.” Said Azza as Solo looked at her.

“We live in a town filled with creatures of different races. You learn to try something odd and new.” He said as Azza was enjoying her lunch.

“I’m enjoying this birthday of mine. No arrogant jerks, no hot weather, and no fire losers.” She said with confidence as Solo looked at her “I’ll only make that baby dragon as an exception since he’s too young to know his instincts.” Said Azza as Solo looked at her as he sensed something, something powerful.

“Huh?” He said as he looked up and looked around Azza noticed his reaction which means it’s never a good thing.

“What?” Said Azza as she widened her eyes. “Oh please… not today! Not my birthday!” She said as Solo got off his chair and put it away along with his book. “Don’t tell me it's someone after you?” She asked as Solo narrowed his eyes.

“No… It’s something… worse than racist ponies.” He said as he pointed at a mountain. “And it’s there and emanating from it is something dangerous.” Solo put his coat on as he marched towards the mountain as Azza sighed.

“It better not be frozen corpses.” She hoped as she followed Solo to the mountains. They made it to the base of the mountain to discover a cave was there.

“In there.” He said as Azza followed him to discover a room filled with crystals and icicles hanging on the ceiling of the cave.

“Whoa…” She said as she picked up a claw-size crystal and munched on it as Solo had his eyes half closed. “Hey… it’s my birthday, dickface.” She said while she enjoyed it. “Also, these are Ice Crystals. A mineral for a growing Ice Dragon.” She said Solo ignored her as they continued to go deeper in the cave. “So, what are we doing here?” Asked Azza.

“I sense something bad.” He said Azza didn’t look surprised.

“You have to be specific. I mean the history of Equestria has many where heroes do fuck the future.” She said and realized what she meant. “I mean other races like the Centaurs and Sirens like Bo & Jelly have grudges against Ponies of Equestria. I mean Lord Tirek and the 3 guardians were banished and sent to their suffering. The ponies in Equestria are a bit greedy because of the resources they have and will take some land for stupid things.” She said as Solo sighed as he knew that through his neighbors from his hometown. They continued to walk down the path in the cave as Solo stopped as Azza crashed into Solo. “What the fuck, man?” She said as Solo looked horrified.

“No…”

“Huh?” Azza looked where Solo was staring at, to witness a swirling vortex. She raises her brow. “What’s with the whirlpool?” She said as Solo looked at it.

“It’s a Gate!” He yelled as Azza looked at him.

“Gate? You mean like the dungeons you go into?” She asked as Solo nodded as she was confused. “Wait… why is there a Gate appearing when you did not use a key?” She questioned Solo as he snarled.

“This is worse than you think, sister.” He said as Azza looked at him

“What do you mean?”

“If Gates start appearing all over Equestria, imagine the monsters inside coming out from them.” He said as she remembered the Dungeon from the time with the beach.

“They’ll slaughter and eat every creature they find, and the ponies today are weak compared to mom and dad. No creature will survive them.” She said as Solo stared at the Gate.

“Big time and I find it odd that one is created here?” He pondered as Azza shrugged her shoulders as she jumped on his back.

“If you go to have an adventure, you must take me too. It’s my birthday, you know.” She said as Solo sighed.

“Fine but remember our folks’ rule.” He said.

“Don’t die like a fool.” She said as he nodded as they jumped in the portal as Solo felt a surge of power as they went through the portal as they landed in a forest in a northern area. “What the hell? Did we just teleport to a different area in the Frozen North?” Said Azza as Solo looked around and tried to open a [Wormhole Warp] but failed.

“We’re in a dungeon but I think it’s much worse than we think.” Said Solo as Azza looked at him. “We’re in a fucking Red Gate.” He said as Azza looked confused.

“Why is a Red Gate bad?” She asked as Solo turned to her.

“Red Gates are considered the most unexpected and rarest dungeons from my old world as well as the most dangerous places anyone would appear in.” He explained “In lower rank dungeons with weak monsters, these are filled with the most powerful and deadliest monsters.” He explained as Azza sucked air through her teeth.

“That bad?”

“Also, when you’re in here, you can’t escape and time in here is different than outside this gate.” Solo explained as Azza raised her brow.

“What do you mean?”

“We could be here for days or weeks as it would be a few hours outside.” Solo bombed that info as Azza’s eyes widened after hearing that information.

“You mean to say that we’re stuck here in this fuckhole for weeks?!” She yelled as Solo turned to her and nodded with his eyes shut. “FUCK!!!”

*WHOOSH*

Solo’s eyes opened as he grabbed something that was gonna hit him, but Azza got hit between the eyes. “AZZA!!!” He yelled as he turned to see a male human being with blue skin, long ears, and fully white eyes holding a bow on the tree branches. “Ice Elves… AKA Ice Hunters.” He said as he looked at the arrow he caught as it was pure ice. Solo saw the Ice Elf slid its throat with his thumb as Solo shattered the arrow in his clutch (“I’ll kill that fucker.”) He said as the elf fled as Solo turned to Azza as he lifted her in his arms. “Azza… No…” He said as he shut his eyes but felt a hand on his shoulder. He opened to see Azza was still alive as she grabbed the arrow that hit her and removed it.

“Where… is… the asshole who shot me?” She said in a menacing tone as she ate the arrow in her claw. “Using Magic Ice as a weapon against an Ice Dragon? They make the mistake that will cost them their lives. I want to kill the shit of the one who shot me! Make it my birthday gift from you!” She said as she was glowing with magic as Solo smirked.

“Wish granted, if you don’t mind me making him my shadow warrior?” He asked as she looked at him.

“I don’t give a fuck unless he’ll be our personal butler!” She yelled as ice started to form on her fingers like her claws looked more menacing.

“Promise we keep this event from Jelly.”

“Promise.” She said as they looked around. “So, tell me something, how the fuck are we gonna escape?” She said,

“I think we have to kill the boss of this dungeon and I believe it’s the Clan Leader of the Ice Elves.” Said Solo “Along with the Ice Elves, there are perhaps more types of monsters here.” He explained “Examined the area and found some clues on some threats in the forest.” Azza checked the area as she noticed something on the trees.

“Markings.” She said, “Made by the claw of a creature.” She noticed a thin strand of hair, she sniffed it as her eyes widened “Bear. These markings are made by the claws of a bear.” She said, “Large like an Ursa Minor and I say, deadly that will kill on sight.”

“Great observation and deduction.” He said as pulled out his Razor Metal Dagger as he handed it to Azza “Here, you’ll need this. I doubt your Ice Breath will affect the monsters here when they have a powerful resistance to ice and cold.” He said as Azza slid her finger on the blade.

“I agree and I need you to train me.” She said as Solo nodded as he helped her train to toughen up.

2 Hours Later
Solo spent his time training Azza as she was working out as she was sweating. (Author’s Note: Remember, Azza is an Ice Dragon and think low temperatures of the dungeon as the normal temperature for a Fire Dragon) Solo gave her hard tasks; hanging her upside down with his magic as she did crunches, levitating his Bo-Staff as Azza did some pull ups, she did push-ups as he placed a rock on her back, stretched her limbs, jogging around in a round track he made and train her in the ways of using a dagger with himself and his Shadow Thieves. Azza was panting as she slashed some trees down. “Now you’re ready, sis. Now you’re ready.” He said as Azza looked up at the sky.

“*ROAR*” She roared in the air as she unleashed a blast of blue fire. “Not yet, we have to evaluate it on some targets.” She said as Solo turned to the left and saw the claw markings.

“Then let’s go hunting for bears.” He said as they marched towards the woods as he felt the change in his skills.

[Skill: Shadow Extraction LV2] has reached LV3
Shadows able to be extracted: 0/120
[Skills: Save Shadow LV2] has reached LV3
Saved Shadows: 50/100

They continued to walk as they looked around for any monsters they’ll encounter. “You know, I can’t believe that this dungeon has oxygen?” Said Azza.

“They do. I mean some of the monsters are organic creatures but sometimes the dungeons are underground, and the monsters are living minerals.” He said as Azza looked at him “Mostly rocks.” She snapped her fingers.

“Damn it.”

*GROWL*

They turned to see a large white bear that was coming out from behind some trees. “Holy shit…” Said Azza.

*ROAR*

[Telekinesis]

Solo’s horn glowed as he lifted the bear as it thrash around, trying to free itself. “Go ahead already! Kill it!” He said as Azza looked prepared.

“Release it. I want to kill it in battle.” She said as Solo did what she said and released it. The White Bear roared as it charged towards Azza as she jumped on its back and stabbed it in the side of its neck.

*ROAR IN PAIN*

Azza gripped on the bear’s head as she was holding tight as she continued to stab the bear’s neck as it fell due to blood loss. Azza got off as it was twitching as she placed her foot on its neck and stomped it as the bear gave its last breath. “Ruthless.” Said Solo.

“I learn from the best.” She answered as Solo looked at the bear.

ARISE FROM DEATH

A claw from the shadow of the corpse emerged from the exact bear but as a living shadow, Solo smirked. “We got ourselves a new ally.” He said as he saved it in his shadow.

“Does it feel a bit creepy that you have an army in your shadow?”

“Well does it feel like going into dungeons?” He replied.

“No, not after seeing mom & dad’s professional. It’s not that shocking.” Said Azza as Solo pulled out his Dark Assassin’s Dagger from his inventory.

“Well, I got you a meal for now and a pelt.” He said he went to dismantle the bear for its meat and pelt as Azza was impressed.

“I’m impressed. I won’t ask but I will enjoy some bear meat. Just don’t tell that annoying animal caretaker. It's already a pain in the ass for her asking me about if I ate any animals near her home and in the town borders. What I wouldn’t give to eat that arrogant pet rabbit of hers.” She said as she snarled as she breathed out mist from her mouth. “Angel Bunny my ass. More like, Demon Bunny.”

“You’re not the only one who got pissed off by him. One mistake and he’s Ivy’s lunch.” Said Solo as she smirked.

“I hope he becomes my lunch.” She said as Solo was wrapping some meat with a long thread as he collected the entire pelt of the bear as he tied the meat on the Bo-Staff.

“We better find a place to make camp.” Said Solo. “We can plan our attack on the Ice Elves.” He said as Azza nodded but smelled something in the air.

“I smell fire.” She said as she turned to the west. “That way.” Pointed Azza as Solo narrowed his eyes.

“Be prepared to attack on my command.” He said as Solo put away the meat and pelt as they walked carefully as they headed for the smoke. They hide behind some bushes and check to see a group of creatures that Solo has never seen in a long time when he was reincarnated in Equestria, Humans. A group of 6 humans; 2 females. 4 males and one that was familiar to Solo.

“What the fuck? They look like the humans in the picture box and those Mangas you showed me. Solo, do you know them?” Asked Azza as Solo looked shocked “Solo.” Solo came out of the bush as Azza was shocked that her brother made a rookie mistake. One of the humans looked shocked as he pointed to the group a unicorn monster.

“What the hell?! When did a unicorn monster get here?!” He said as one human had a huge Warhammer.

“Don’t know but I’ll smash its head off!” He said as Solo smirked and chuckled. “It dares to laugh at me! I am Richard the Powerful! The Duke of the Mallet!”

“The Douchebag that gets nut shot for ignoring Stripper Rules.” Said Solo as the group was shocked and surprised that a monster can communicate with them, but Richard was shocked to hear that.

“W-w-w How did you know that?!” He said as Solo smirked as he rubbed his Index finger, middle finger, and thumb together.

“I keep healing you and you still owe me 80 bucks, Dicky.” He said as Richard was shocked to hear that as he saw an afterimage of someone who he never thought to see again.

“Wait… ~~XXXX~~… is… that….” He was starting to tear up.

“Yeah buddy… it’s me and don’t hug me. It’s a bit weird since I'm furry and we know how people show them online, sexy and non-sexy.” He said as Azza came out of the bush.

“What’s Stripper Rules?” Said Azza

“Look but don’t touch.” Said all of them as Azza looked at Richard.

“I’m betting you get nut shot a lot.” She said as he turned to Solo.

“Uh… ~~XXXX~~, who is this… girl?” He asked.

“My sister.” Solo answered as the humans raised their brows.

“Uh…”

“I’ll explain later but for now.” He pulled the Bear Meat from his inventory as he showed them to the group. “Here, you need something to eat.” He said they were surprised when Solo handed one to Azza as she started eating it.

“This is something I got to hear.” She said as she sat on the snow.
