Dragon heart
Dragons are among some of the surprisingly caring individuals. According to the dragon lord, they have been known to make everlasting bonds with others much like imprinting. Though some have taken more than one mate. All in the relationship are equal to their partner. Ironically it shows the depth of love they have for their partner.

Blitz sat at the front desk of the museum as the guards arrived. "Great!" He announced before jumping over and pulling the tarps off the carts before turning to the guards. "You might need to get help."

Nodding, the guards rushed off as Zipp, Sprout and Phyllis gathered around looking at the strange things in the carts. "Are these what I think they are?" Zipp asked.

"Some items kept in my home land from the time of the Guardians of Friendship." He explained pulling out a pair of goggles. "And some from the Castle of Friendship." He tossed the goggles to Zipp. "I think I read about some of the things we got. The goggles belonged to Wonderbolts." Pulling out a jar of green fire he paused and sett it on the desk.

"What's that?" Sprout asked.

"The last flame made from the time of the Guardians…" Blitz sighed as he pulled the staff close. "Elder said it… was all we had left of them…"

The three ponies sat and hung their heads in silence till several carts were brought over. "I heard you were back in town sis!"

Zipp looked over and smiled. "Pipp! I hope you don't mind helping us while we organize this stuff."

"Not at all. It gives us time to learn about your new-"

"Friend." Blitz and Zipp cut in.

Pipp sighed and rolled her eyes as Zipp realized what she said. "Wait. We? You mean…"

"Hello darling. I thought I'd come over and see for myself who this boy is that caught my daughter's eye." Haven announced as she sat next to her daughter. Looking over at Blitz, she smiled. "And I must say. He is a looker."

"MOM!" Zipp groaned.

As Haven moved next to him, Zipp was grateful that her sister and the guards were trying to organize things by what looked fragile and what looked expensive from what just looked old and interesting. More importantly was how Blitz was taking it with stride. It was actually surprising to see her mom… so willing to listen.

"Oh my. You mean the dragons have rulers? And you're a prince?" She gasped glancing over at Zipp and Pipp before turning back to him with a playful smile. "So… how many wives can do dragons normally-"

"MOTHER!!!!!" Zipp and Pipp shouted in unison as they blushed.

"What?" She asked defensively. "It's always good to keep your opinions open."

Blitz sighed. "We… haven't really had many families… but elder said that the lord is permitted to have a hoard, as he put it. Or what ponies call a herd."

"Well. I think if you decide to have a herd. You should get to know them first. And maybe consider one or both my daughters?" Haven suggested.

Before the girls replied Blitz laughed. "They are beautiful. And from what I heard. They are good ponies." Pipp and Zipp blushed as their wings twitched. "But like you said. I should get to know them better first."

Haven smiled as they went back to work. Pipp and Zipp shared a few knowing glances. Neither of them had to say it. There was a growing chance they both were growing a crush on him.

There were a few small matters. Who all would find out before they were ready, who else would fall for him?... and what was probably most important. At least to Pipp, was all this going into the museum, or was he going to "gift" any of this to them?

Hitch slipped out of the lighthouse while Izzy rested and saw Sunny. "Hay Sunny. Any news about Zipp and our new friend?"

"I heard they went to the museum. I was thinking about going over to see if I could help before I noticed this book that fell from the wagon one of the guards was pulling." She replied.

Hitch raised an eyebrow at her. "You are going to return that. Right?"

"Of course." She laughed before pausing for a moment to stare at the book. "But this could be a book from the Guardians of Friendship. What if it's from Twilight Sparkle herself? Maybe it's a collection of her very own spells."

"And what if it's something dangerous?" Hitch countered. "He came from a tribe of dragons right? It might be something involving them. Something dangerous and not to be messed with."

"I'll just look at one page. OK? Then it goes straight to Blitz." She sighed, opening it to a random page.

Journal entry 125
With the help of Zipp, her family and the guards, we were able to organize everything. I'll admit that having a place where others can see these wonders is amazing. And I can always store what we find in the back… oddly a book went missing. Wish I remembered which one it was. A part of me feels, I should keep the elder flame with me. If needed. I will take the flame for my own.


Author's Note

And now that the cast is together. And one of the couples have already formed. I wonder what would happen. What type of spell will be cast? What threat might come? And how eager is Haven going to become for grandkids?
