Author's Note

I'm currently trying to do things on my game but writing this is actually fun so I might get some more Chapters out faster than before! but still a MAX of 2 a day... Maybe... don't quote me on that. I might even just lengthen Chapters to 2k words minimum but Right now I want at least 1.5k words minimum. Also, I had a small Vertigo spell last night, had to go to bed early and it sucked, almost fell on my PSVR setup. This is also where I start adding stuff to clear a few things up. if you see text in Brown that's added for lore and stuff. And yes the dragons mainly speak to each other in Dovah Tinvaak, Skyrim's Language for dragons it will be bolded, italic, and Red, and for sanity's sake, All dragons know Dovah Tinvaak at birth, they do in Hytopia so I'll make it the same for Equis. Don't worry the Power of Thu'ums will remain in Skyrim, I'm just using the Language here and there.

S1 Chapter 6: Questions and Answers

“Welcome to the Golden Oaks Library!” Twilight announces while opening the door for Xephers to walk in, she walks in after him with Spike still riding on her back. “Please, make yourself at home, I’ve got tons of books you can read and an extra bedroom you can use until you get your own home here in Ponyville.” Spike hops off Twilight and heads for the Kitchen. “Would you like some tea before we start with the questions?” She asks stopping just before the Kitchen.

“No thanks, I’d kinda like to get these questions over with as soon as possible, if you don’t mind of course.” He finds a table and sits in a seat. “*Yawn* I’m getting kind of tired from the long train ride here.” He looks to Twilight and smiles.

“*Giggle* Ok then, let’s get these questions underway,” She walks over and sits at the table too. “Ok, first things first, How are you able to use magic without a horn?” She tilts her head, Spike comes out of the Kitchen with a half-eaten Sapphire and joins them at the table.

“Well, you see, where I’m from when we get old enough we visit the Elemental Monistary in our home country to discover our elemental magic,” He explains, “There are 13 types of Elemental magic known to us, Null Basic Magic that has no real strengths or weaknesses, Fire Magic able to start campfires or blaze through enemy forces, Water Magic able to purify water or heal wounded efficiently, Electric Magic able to power homes and able to paralyze monsters with ease, Grass Magic able to control the wind and leaves for camoplouge or make potions to cure diseases, Ice Magic able to cool the Hottest lava and allow the user walk on shallow water with ease, Poison Magic mainly used to protect settlements from monster attacks but some evil doers use it for nefarious perposes, Psychic Magic that can help the old recover memories they have lost to time and levetate great objects in the air, Spirit Natural Magic in all of us that we can strengthen to be able to use special abilities, Draconic Magic almost exclusively used by Dragons but some have been able to master it,” Spike stopped eating his gem and looked at Xephers with excitement. Dark Magic that can be used to sneak up on villains to get an upper hand, Light Magic that can Heal or below life onto recently passed individuals, and finally Chaos Magic only used by Demented Deities wishing to Kill or hurt the populous,” Xephers shuddered at the thought of Chaos Magic. “Everyone is born with innate Spirit and Elemental Magic, but you only able to discover your elemental Magic after the age of 10, but there are a few that can be born with Chaos magic,” Xephers looks deadly serious. “Those born with Chaos magic are destined to bring Chaos to all the land, Killing and maiming without mercy.” Twilight Gasps and Spike looks like he might pass out. “Sadly, a Child born with Chaotic magic must be... *Nervous gulp* Killed immediately after it is known to stop the spread of Chaos.” Twilight starts tearing up, Spike collapses dropping the Sapphire, and Xephers closes his eyes, “We’ve tried to train them to use it for good but, The power corrupts their Spirit and drives them criminally insane or worse, a Demon will possess them and go on a rampage.”

“Oh my Celestia... That sounds terrible,” She grabs a tissue with her magic and wipes away her tears. “I’ve never heard of Elemental Magic before, is it anything like my Alicorn magic?” Her horn lights up and envelops Xephers to give him a feel of her magic, Twilight also checks what kind of Magic Xephers has. Xephers thinks for a moment.

“I have never felt this kind of Magic before,” The magic around him disappears and Xephers opens his eyes, “What Twilight?” Twilight has a look of horror on her face.

“I just tested how much magic you had and I can’t feel any Pony magic on you!” She stands up and starts backing away from Xephers slowly, “What’s worse is I can feel Draconian Magic in you as if you were a dragon in disguise.” Xephers tilts his head then realizes what that means.

‘She must have felt Firasha’s Magic, shit!’ Xephers smiles at Twilight, “You’re right Twilight, I do have Draconian Magic in me,” Her Horn ignites grabbing the nearest broom to protect herself from Xephers, “But it’s not mine,” Twilight drops the broom and looks confused. “It’s my Guardian-Dragon’s Magic,” With that Firasha Appears with a flash of Black Fire (Draconic Magic is Black Fire essentially in Hytopia), “Twilight, meet Firasha, Firasha, meet Twilight,” Firasha lands on the ground and walks over to Twilight and bends down on one knee.

“A pleasure to meet you, Princess Twilight Sparkle, I am Firasha Guardian-Dragon to Sir Xephers Strike,” Twilight looks between Spike, who is still passed out, and Firasha. Firasha stands back up to his full height, a head shorter than Spike... “I know I may be small but I can change my size at will but this is my real height and I prefer it honestly,” He Backflips onto the table Xephers is still sitting at and sits on the edge facing Twilight.

“Uh... Nice... To meet you... Firasha...” Twilight slowly returns to the table and tries to wake up Spike, “Spike, wake up Xephers’ is done talking about his magic,” Spike slowly opens his eyes and groans, “Spike come on, there’s someone here to meet you,” Spike raises his head and spies the tiny Dragon on the edge of the table and he gets up. “Spike, meet Firasha, Xephers’ ‘Guardian-Dragon’ he’s been hiding from us until now,”

“Correction, I have been resting until now,” Firasha Lies matter of factly, “I was weakened when we arrived by... An Unknown force,” He lies with a fake smile. “It’s not important now, Hello Spike, I’m Firasha a Micro Dragon Guardian!” Firasha stands up and Poses. “And if I’m correct it’s Xephers’ turn to ask a question,” Twilight opens her mouth to question the tiny drake but he puts up a claw, “Before you ask, Yes while I was resting I could hear everything Xephers heard and said, I just couldn’t see anything,” He lied masterfully at the end.

“Alright,” Twilight and Spike sit down at the table again, “Firasha is right, Xephers do you have anything to ask me?” She Smiles, spike keeps looking at Firasha with a fascinated face. Xephers puts a hoof to his chin and thinks for a moment.

“Ok then, Who rules Equestria, I know your Princesses but who are the King and Queen?” Firasha teleports onto Xephers’ head and sits down.

“Yeah, who runs this place, where we’re from we got multiple kings and queens... And a Dog...” Firasha teleports Spike’s Sapphire off the floor, cleans it, and hands it back to Spike. “Het hi bo goraan Dovah, You dropped this.” Spike perfectly understands Firasha and grabs his Sapphire, Twilight looks at Firasha curiously.

“What did you just say?” She looks at Spike, “I’ve never heard that language before, Spike do you know what he said?” Spike looks at her and laughs, “What are you laughing at Spike?”

“*Laugh* You really don’t know what he said? *Laugh*” Spike calms down and bites into his Sapphire making Xephers and Firasha tilt their heads. “He said ‘Here you go young Dragon, you dropped this, didn’t you just hear him? *Chuckle*” He stops at both Xephers and Twilights’ silence.

“Ah, you mean Dovah Tinvaak, it’s our native language, and all Dovah or Dragons, in your language, are born with the natural ability to understand it, but we must learn to speak it just like every other being in the multiverse when we are young.” Firasha explains. Twilight shakes her head in confusion but recovers and looks at Xephers with a smile.

“Well, that’s enough about that, now to answer your question, We don’t have a King or Queen, we just have Princesses,” She flairs her wings out and poses slightly, she regains her casual posture, “Now back to me, where are you two from?” Xephers answers her question without hesitation.

“I am from Vernaria Village on Hytopia, He is from the Dragon Realm on Hytopia, a mirror dimension home to only Dragons,” Xephers explains, but Firasha interjects.

“That’s a common misconception, our realm is not an exact Mirror of yours,” He stands up and materializes Glasses and a lab coat on himself. “Our realms are mirrored but, our realm is full of Lava instead of water and it never rains, volcanoes erupt Magma into the sky to make Clouds and it falls back down eventually,” He makes the glasses and Coat disappear and sits back down, “Just had to clear that up, sorry for interrupting you Xephers.” Xephers shakes his head slowly as to not throw off Firasha.

“You didn’t really interrupt I was done talking, and thanks for the lesson on your Realm buddy,” Xephers smiles. “Alright, my turn, Spike, Dragons can eat Gems here?” Spike looks at Xephers and finishes his Sapphire.

“Yeah, doesn’t Firasha eat Gems?” Spike asks to which Firasha just says maybe, and spawns a Gem and Chomps down on it. “Well, how does it taste Firasha?” Firasha pauses mid-chew and then tosses the whole thing in his mouth and sloppily eats the thing drooling on Xephers’ head,

“*Goran* Gross, Firasha get off!” Xephers tilts his head forward and Firasha falls onto the table with a thud and holds his enlarged belly picking at his teeth with a toothpick. “*Sigh* Twilight can we call this the end for today I’m getting really tired.” He grabs a Tissue and starts wiping the drool from his head.

“Oh, of course, your room is upstairs, first door on the right, good night!” She says with a smile, Xephers says ‘night’ and heads up the stairs to bed with Firasha flying right behind him.
