{Spyro POV}

I woke up with familiar white pony legs around me.

When my vision cleared I found out it was Celestia, I turned my head to the window to see the sun had not risen yet.

I managed to get out of the bed and a guard came in.

"Princess Celestia it's time to raise the sun." He said waking Celestia.

"Yes, thank you." She said as she got up and raised the sun.

"Good morning, Spyro." She said turning to face me.

"Hello princess um how did I get here?" I asked.

"After you absorbed the dark magic we brought you here to make sure everything was alright, shall we head down to the dinning hall?" She said so I followed her through the castle until we reached the dining hall.

"I already informed the chef's about your diet." She said as we sat down and two unicorn maids walked in holding two trays in their magic.

One of them was put in front of me it had scrambled eggs and some pieces of bacon.

I ate my breakfast then Celestia said. "Later today me and you have a press conference to attend." She said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, I have to tell the truth of what happened and about your dark magic." She said and I nodded to show that I understand.

"So anything else other than that" I asked as she was almost finished.

"A few tests for you and we will be testing your combat capabilities, you may be a child, but you are no ordinary child." She said.

After eating she lead me to what looked like a medical ward.

"Ok, just lay on the bed and we will extract some of your magic." She told me so I did as I was told.

As they drained a bit of my magic I felt fine, normally it left me a little tired, then after that they scanned me.

After getting everything they needed the doctor asked to speak to Celestia so she told me to wait here as she left the room to talk to the doctor.

{Celestia POV}

"Why did you want to talk to me?" I asked.

"His magic levels are way to high for someone of his age it could cause health problems if left unsupervised." He said, then I rubbed my chin with my hoof.

"Well this is dark magic so it could be different." I said to him.

"Well yes it is dark magic but it is still magic and he has a way to much because of the incident." He said as he looked at a chart.

"So what do you suggest?" I asked.

"Until he is old enough for his body to properly handle the magic we should keep him calm, so his magic doesn't react violently, his magic is fine now but can be easily influenced by his emotions." He said as he put the chart down.

"How will we keep him calm when he has school." I said as I remembered when Starswirl taught me and my sister it was horrible.

"Private tutor, and a guard to watch over Applejack, you have read the report of what happened to Applejack and how he reacted right?" He asked then I nodded in agreement.

After we talked a bit more we walked back into the room, and I took Spyro towards the entrance of the castle.

"So you're going to tell them everything?" Spyro asked.

"Yes the press has always been able to tell when I lie so I don't have much of a choice," I told the young dragon, as I leaned down, and gently nuzzled him.

The doctor that injected Spyro's magic walked up beside me as walked outside with Spyro behind us.

We walked onto a wooden platform that made sure everypony could hear and see us.

"Good evening my subjects." I said as many reporters and nobles shouted questions.

"Quiet down now I will answer as many questions as I can." I yelled, and they stopped talking.

A reporter in the front raised his hoof. "Yes you there." I said pointing at the reporter.

"What has happened to the victims of the dark magic are they cured?' He asked then the doctor stepped forward.

"Yes, they are cured though there were a few harmless side effects." He said, as he put on his glasses.

"And what are these effects." A pony in the back shouted.

"After the cure was injected the color in their fur and manes returned, and a minute later their natural magic forcefully expelled the dark magic through their mouths, then the ponies collapsed exhausted." He explained making some of the nobles and reporters look a little sick.

A noble raised her hoof. "Yes, you next." I said.

"How did you find this cure I thought all research on dark magic was forbidden and against the law due to its aggressive nature." She said with a smirk on her face.

She was obviously trying to humiliate me. "While that is true but five years ago we found a source of non-aggressive dark magic that had no interest in ponies, and through researching this we found that when injected into a host with aggressive dark magic it takes control of it, thus removing its aggressive nature." I told them, then they started whispering.

Another hoof was raised and a stallion said. "What is the source of dark magic?" The Stallion asked.

I turned my head to face Spyro then gestured for him to come forward.

After he walked up in front of everypony they all looked confused, then the doctor cleared his throat before saying.

"This is Spyro I think you have heard his name in the newspapers?" He said before reporters started talking.

"Five years ago he was found on the Apple family's farm at the edge of the everfree after a bit they took him to the hospital where it was discovered he was filled with dark magic." He said then the reporters started shouting questions, and the nobles looked at Spyro some with interest, and others with greed-filled eyes.

"He is the first being in history to be born with dark magic not only that immune to its corruption, but he is also the source of the non-aggressive magic we were talking about." He said.

After that, we continued answering questions until we got to the last one it was the same mare that asked how we got the cure and again she had a smirk on her face.

"If he has dark magic why hasn't he been locked up." She said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" The doctor asked.

She summoned a law book before opening it to a page." It says here on page 74 paragraph 4 that all beings with dark magic are to be locked away or executed no exceptions." She said showing it to everypony in the crowd.

"That law is outdated and." I said but was interrupted by the mare.

"Still in effect so do you have anything to say Princess?" She asked and I was done talking.

"I think we are done with questions if you want to know more you will have to come to day court." I said before taking Spyro back to the castle.
