I was reading a letter from my aunt, she wanted me to join in a hunt for a great dragon that was due to awaken any day now. Apparently it was sealed away by Discord in ages past which means it would come here, she never told me about any of this unless it was important. It seems Big Mac will have to take care of the animals for a while. Angel Bunny was bouncing next to me, I approached my secret weapons cabinet. I pulled out an enchanted muffle bag, I put a battleaxe, a longsword, a halberd and a great bow with a quiver in my bag.

He saw the bag and nodded, he knew that what I was about to do and that he would not enjoy it. I left my quaint cottage, I galloped to Sweet Apple Acres. I saw Big Mac in the middle of doing farmwork, I smiled “Big Mac, I am gong to be out of town for a while. I’m not sure when I am going to return. Could you take care of the animals while I’m away.”

Big Mac smiled “Eeyup.”

I smiled “Thanks.” I left the farm, with that out of the way I trotted through town waving to ponies as I passed them. I bought a train ticket and got on the train. I frowned, a dragon sealed by Discord had to be an exceptional threat. I grimaced as I soon arrived in the northern train station, the last stop before the Frozen North. Not far from the train station was a small camp, I approached the camp only to see my Aunt Fire Fang standing there, a battle axe over her shoulder.

The first time we met I was terrified, her fiery orange and yellow coat scared me. Now though, it was good to see her. She nudged me “It’s good to see you Fluttershy, that brother of yours still causing your problems.”

I shrugged “Haven’t seem him in a while, better that way honestly. He is a lazy asshole.”

I frowned as a dark blue Griffon poked their head, they turned to my Aunt “Is she the other person who you recruited. She doesn’t look like much, I’ve seen more muscle on shrimp.” I pulled out my halberd, swung it around several times with one leg.

Fire Fang smiled “Hawk, this is my niece Fluttershy. She is the successor to me in our bloodline.”

Hawk grinned “Interesting name, now let’s go.”

I frowned as we left the camp “Are you sure the three of us will be enough?”

Fire Fang frowned “You two were the only two I could get, there aren’t as many of as there used to be. Many of our bloodlines died out over the centuries.” I frowned, this wasn’t going to end well. That feeling didn't leave me as we continued on, the frosty blizzard only grew stronger as we forced our way forward. Ice battered our faces, our feathers were frozen solid by the icy cold.

The blizzard suddenly cleared around two massive mountains, that did not fill me with confidence. Fire Fang grinned “The dragon should be around here somewhere, we just need to slay it and then we can return home.”

I frowned “If Discord sealed this dragon away, then they must be incredibly large. We should have seen them by now, if it wasn’t huge Discord wouldn’t fear this dragon.”

Hawk smirked “It can’t be that large, I think you are exaggerating.” The ground began to shake underneath us, the two huge mountains raised out of the ground as a huge dark blue dragon heads emerged from beneath them. Hawk gulped “How are we supposed to kill that!”

I pulled out my great bow and quiver, I quickly knocked an arrow and fired. The arrow glowed with magical power. The arrow hit the dragons face bouncing off. I grimaced “Well shit!” I turned to my fellow Dragon Slayers “Auntie, Hawk I think we are well and truly fucked. I don’t think any of our weapons are going to…”

The dragon turned to us as I pulled out my halberd, it charged towards. I readied my halberd, as my aunt readied her axe and Hawk drew his lance. The dragon roared “Feel the fury of the Articus, the God of Frost! Prepare to meet your…” I frowned as a Rainbow blur smashed into the Dragon’s side.

I facehooved as I saw Rainbow in her dragon form breathing rainbow fire against it’s scales, dodging the huge dragons swings. I groaned “That is my friend Rainbow Dash, she gained the ability to turn into a dragon recently. We better help her before she gets killed.” I took off bursting towards the dragon, I slammed my halberd into the side of it’s head cutting through it’s scales. Articus turned to me, it’s crimson slitted eyes focused on me.

I smirked as Two swift strikes cut into the Articus’ eyes, blinding the godly ice dragon. My Aunt and Hawk flew beside me, I frowned “Rainbow I have a plan, you send it skyward. Auntie, Hawk destroy the wings and I’ll finish the job.” I flew upwards as fast as I could, I shivered as the air got colder and colder. I started to see the stars glowing above me, I turned around to see a rainbow explosion followed by Articus flying upward towards me. I flew down as fast I could, my halberd at the ready.

I struck Articus’ neck with my halberd, pulling him down at massive speed toward the ground. We crashed into the ground at massive speed, I staggered to my hooves. Articus’ head was severed form his massive body, I panted as my Aunt staggered over to me. A bloody bandage was wrapped around a stump that was where her right wing should be. She smiled weakly “You did it.”

I turned to Rainbow who was holding a bloody lance, Rainbow nodded grimly “It was his last hunt. This should be given to his family.” I nodded taking the lance, Rainbow transformed into a dragon allowing us to climb onto her back. I collapsed, glad to be going home.
