Hunger had to fix his body fast, he needed to cook for Ignacio, but he didn't have any means to fix his body... in the hold that Gilda had on him, he saw the disguised Changeling... if they could take forms... maybe.

Gilda woke up with Hunger missing from her side, only remaining a pillow she was currently hugging.

She was confused, she was pretty sure Hunger was in no state to move on his own... but then she felt the smell of food, the almost intoxicating smell of the food of Hunger.

More worried than hungry she made a dead sprint to the kitchen, expecting to see Hunger doing something stupid to his health... but when she arrived there and flashed the kitchen with her flashlight, she saw him there... standing, in perfect condition... was he smiling?

"Oh! hello Gilda, I see you finally are awake!"

She blinked, "Hunger?"

Almost with a mocking tone, he responded, "Gilda?"

She gave him a deadpan, "How are you fine now?"

He stopped what he was doing and two arms appeared from his side, Then with a smile he connected them over his head, and with an arc motion a rainbow of colors appeared between them, "Magic!"

Gilda raised an eyebrow once more, his sense of humor was defiantly his, and his way of dodging questions was also very fitting of him, but Gilda was sure of something so far, he never lied, "Didn't you say it would take you longer to heal?"

He nodded and continue to cock with his arms instead of his magic, "Yup! That was until I had a brilliant idea! now I'm mostly fine."

"But-"

"Also you should eat already, you would need your energy for the training today!"

Hunger was clearly trying to derail her again as he usually did when he didn't want to answer something, but he couldn't help but take the bait, "W-what you mean?"

Hunger gave her an evil smile "I will teach you "death dodge" again since I need to re-teach the stuff to the others"

Gilda's eyes become pinpricks, "No..."

Hunger kept his smile while he cooked, "Yup!"

Gilda started to shake her head, "NO!"

Hunger stopped smiling, "Oh, come on, it is not that bad."

Gilda started to look around for a way to run away, but since the room was still dark, there was not that much to look at, "Hunger, you confess to me that you never experienced it since you are an "immortal" so you don't know what it feels like."

"Gilda, first of all, stop looking for exist, We are in a place specifically to be defended, there are only two exist and no windows, Second of all, all my disciples were able to master it with practically cero sequelae, so don't be a baby."

Gilda looked at him, "Yeah, well I bet they all are dead anyways, so why do I have to master it!?"

Hunger looked at her, If he probably wasn't in a good mood he would become pretty upset, but thanks to having a whole body again, he really didn't mind that much, "They are, but probably died from old age, now stop whining and eat."

She finally let out a shrug of defeat and did just that.

Gilda ate and proceeded to do the basic preparations for the classes of the day.

After that, Gilda went to check on him again... "Hunger?"

Hunger stopped casting magic to look at her, "Yes Gilda?"

Gilda looked up and down the structure that Hunger did, "Is that... is that a big furnace?"

He nodded, "Yup"

And indeed, Hunger in a matter of an hour or so had created a 4x4 meter furnace made from clay and a little metal... If Gilda didn't believe he was better, now she did, "And why are you making such a big furnace?"

Hunger proceeded to finish the last details, "Because I Will make some food for a dragon before he starts to sleep, knowing Ignacio, he probably still has that snoring problem."

Gilda just blinked "What?"

Before Gilda could ask more questions, Hunger went to wake up the others, which of course, (being nocturnal creatures), were just barely able to wake up.

Caml Dusk when finally aware of who woke him up, instantly all his need to sleep was gone and he salutes his commander.

meanwhile, Star Finder was barely able to wake up and manage just to function when she got some coffee in her system, which for some reason hunger just frowned when she saw her drink it.

And last, Moon Flar had to be wakened up by a bucket of cold water.

after eating they went to the training grounds, only to see a very nervous Gilda, who was biting at her claws while her wings moved from side to side, clearly stressed.

Moon Flare just raised an Eyebrow, Her first impression of the griffon was that she had a bigger pair of teats than any common mare, but here she was showing clear signs of fear.

But before she could ask a question, Hunger with a trumped made the standard sound to make them go in an order line, Gilda took a cheeky breath, "This is going to suck so hard."

In another place, a pony was seeing through her telescope to what it seems to be a training ground, confused, she aimed her aim at the ponies and the demon that was there.

Unexpected he saw Hunger look directly at her, but that was impossible, after all, she was half a town away from him.

But then he just rolled his eyes and proceeded to keep talking to the bat ponies, which held a skeptical look.

But then when Hunger stopped talking and none seemed to speak up, he nodded and got close to Gilda.

Twilight didn't know what she was doing, but it was probably nothing good.

Her train of thought was interrupted when she saw how Gilda suddenly went to the ground while holding the top of her head, She and the bat ponies looked confused by how much she was sweating, and one of them seemed to be laughing her flank off.

That was until Hunger got close to her and she stopped and went to the ground while she held her neck, looking like she just lost her breath out of nowhere.

Twilight blinked, thinking that maybe she had missed something until that happened again with the white bat pony, which followed up by puking all over the ground.

The last bat-pony stallion looked confused and started to sweat, Twilight did her best to keep her eyes open in hopes of not losing any detail, only for the stallion to suddenly jump up and start to fly in place.

At that, The demon looked surprised and smiled at him.

Moon Flare finally managed to recover from the sudden vivid image that appeared in her mind, with a shaky voice she screamed, "WHAT THE BUCK WAS THAT? AND WHY DOES DUSK LOOK FINE!?"

Hunger with the same smile he gave Calm Dusk, looked at her, "Clearly he is a natural, which is pretty good." Moon could swear that Dusk looked proud at that comment, that was until he suddenly stopped flapping and fell to the ground crushing his wing, Hunger just chuckled at that, "But even talented people can pull it off two times in a row."

Star cleaned her mouth from the remnant of her puke, "Are you really ignoring the part where she asked you what was that?"

Hunger stopped smiling and gave an innocent stare, "But my dear Star, I already told you at the beginning."

Gilda groaned, "It is the "death" something thingy, he explained to me that all mortals can do it, but only he knows how to wake that six sense"

Suddenly two hands appeared out of nothing and started to clap like crazy, Gilda just rolled her eyes at the over-the-top gesture, "Wow, you actually paid attention, here I thought that the few times you did out meant you didn't care."

Gilda just stood up, regaining her wits, "Buck off, and please tell me we will do normal training now."

Hunger just smiled again and closed his eyes, "Nope! I'm going to do this another fifty times!" They all looked like Huger just had kicked a puppy, "Oh come on! cheer up! after this, we will "Kill" a demon if that makes all of you feel better."

All of them for different reasons looked interested in this, but before they became too hopeful, they suddenly saw the hyper-realistic image of their death once more.

After some training, while his squad rested, Hunger went to visit Fluttershy, who looked surprised to see him in such great condition.

"See! I told you I would be fine!" Hunger made a dramatic pose while he felt the need to frown when she saw her, not because he hated Fluttershy or something similar, but because it was an old habit of his, that and the sun burned his very sensible eyes.

"But how?"

Hunger smiled, "You would be surprised what tricks I can do when I have enough gas in my system." Then Hunger gave her an apologetic smile, "Also, as much I would like to stay, I have something to do, but I promise I will come over for a visit later"

Fluttershy smiled, "Of course, you are welcome to come again."

And after that short interaction, they part ways.

Twilight was storming to see Fluttershy, why would the demon go to her place? what was he planning?! but before she managed to arrive she stopped and looked to the everfree forest.

There, at the umbral of the forest, a statue of a Goat was standing still, normally whose eyes were always wooden with no light on them, for some reason, it had now greenish light to them.

Twilight could swear that she had seen these same eyes before, but where?

but before she could think twice, the wooden creature fell apart, a book falling from its insides, Twilight was confused for a moment, but using her magic she grabbed the book and got it closer to her.

Ironic enough, the outside seems to be made of wood while the pages seem as white as Celestia's fur.

Twilight was an odd individual, her love for books and research made her very susceptible to being distracted, which she once more proved to the world when she forgot her precautions for her friend and instead decided to check the cover of the book.

At first, she was confused, the letters didn't make any sense at all, but then she saw how the words started to change, She didn't know many languages, but she knew enough words to know which were.

First, it was the griffon tongue, later the yak, then old draconic, and then the last it was equestrian.

Twilight was in slight awe at the obvious magic phenomena that she just had observed, On the cover of the book it said, "Diary of the Forgotten Wizard." Twilight's interest increased, at first glance someone would think that this book was just made, but she could guess that maybe this book was preserved with magic.

She wanted to start reading right there, but then she remembered in the first place why she was running in that direction, so putting the book into her saddle bag she started to run again to Fluttershy cottage,

Hunger once more was back with his team and they looked in better shape than when he left, so with a smile, he proceeded to puke three weapons he prepared, maybe he would take his time making some weapons to their specific likes if they managed to impress him, but for now, three spears would do the trick.

Taking it with her magic, he proceeded to insert the spear right in front of them.

Moon Flare flinched at the sudden appearance of the weapon, but once she looked up from her resting place, she saw Hunger smiling at her.

"Is... is this for me?" all the others perk up at the sound of her voice, and they all saw Hunger nod, "Sir, But I use daggers and wing blades, not a spear."

Hunger's smile becomes even bigger, "Too bad, now lets" 's two arms move and do quotes in the air, ""Kill" a demon."

Gilda stood up and ran inside, "Wait, wait, let me get my shield and sword!"

Flare just points in the direction of the griffon, "W-what, but why she can have a different weapon!?"

Hunger just shrugs, "You can have yours when you win my favor, Now stop crying and prepare your armor."
