Trial of the heart (risks)
There are a few things one must know about the trial. First is as time passes, the desire to be together will grow until the partner will do anything to be with their mate. Even sacrifice their own family members to do so. However, if the trial takes too long, the desire will fade and the couple will never be able to reconnect.

Zipp sighed and looked out the window as her sister fixed up her mane. “Thinking about Blitz?” She teased knowingly.

Zipp sighed. “Yeah.” She replied with a soft smile. “He's amazing.”

“He is good looking. Friendly, easy to talk to… And I bet he's good in bed too.” Pipp teased.

“You can say that again.” Zipp giggled. “Just thinking about him makes me-”

“OK!" Pipp laughed before changing the subject before things get too spicy.

Blitz and Misty sat in silence for a moment after he explained how he got there. It was rather surprising that dragons were still in Equestria. After all, the only one she knew of was a baby. Besides, if SHE found out about this. There was no doubt she'd do something to them. Was there really nothing she could do?

Considering her options, Misty had a couple of ideas. And even though she didn't really like how risky one was, if her other ideas didn't work… she'd Be left with no other way to protect his family.

Misty inwardly groaned at how eager she had become to help others after meeting Sunny and her friends. There was no way this wouldn't somehow come back on her in one way or another. Taking a deep breath she decided to put plan A into motion. “Do… Do you think it'd be possible to… I don't know…. Stop somepony from stealing your fire magic?”

“Doubt it. That kind of information is in the old tomes. Such information would take a long time to translate. It was coded by some of the nation's brightest minds after all.” Blitz sighed.

“Oh…” Misty sighed inwardly as she thought about what to do now. “I was wondering… How does someone become part dragon?”

“Normally you'd have to be born as one…”

“But?” She asked hopefully.

“I did read a few techniques. But I wouldn't recommend them.” He laughed.

“Why not?”

“How would you feel about rebirth, or belonging to someone?” He asked.

“Not much different from now.” She mumbled.

“What?”

“How would they work?” She quickly replied.

“Rebirth would be more complicated seeing as I'm a male. And the other one would be a bit… dangerous.” He explained.

“Would you be able to… make me part dragon?”

He blinked in shock and thought it over. “I can… but you do realize that if I do this. You would belong to me… Right? And I don't think you'd want to go through a second childhood and lose the friends you have.”

“I know. And if there was a way to speed…”

“No age spells. The Book of Friendship has some rather detailed stories about how bad those turn out.” Blitz warns.

Thinking for a moment, she bowed her head. “Then as long as I can be with my friends… then my life is yours.”

Blitz lifts her chin. “I can't promise you much. But I can promise you two things. That you can be with your friends. And that if there's something you can't handle, I will.”

Misty smiled as she readied herself for what was coming. “Then my life and body are in your claws… master.”

Haven looked around the museum in wonder at the different things from old Equestria. As she looked around, she began to see what her daughter and her friends liked so much about it. From the books to outfits, she slowly found herself more and more intrigued.

Her eyes widened in amazement as she noticed the section labeled “dragon lands”. However her excitement was stopped as a stallion stopped her at the door.

“Sorry, your highness. But this section isn't ready for the public yet.” He said nervously.

“Oh? And what if I offered the aid of some of my guards? Would that get me a peek?” She asked softly.

The guard thought for a moment before looking back into the room. “Well… there are a few things that need dusting before we can put it on display.” He sighed and turned back to her. “Ok. But only because you're Zipp's mother. I'd probably get in trouble even considering the offer if it came from anypony else. Just remember, no touching or moving anything. Just dusting.”

“Agreed.” She confirmed. She didn't really know what he meant about getting in trouble. But after raising two girls, she understood not to ask too many questions. Turning to the guards that were with her, she passed on the instructions before entering with the stallion. As she looked around, she admitted to herself that dragons were amazing, beautiful creatures. She felt proud that her daughter was making such an amazing ally.

The more she learned about his kind, the more she wondered how best to bring their people together. She then noticed a book titled "the book of friendship" and remembered hearing about his mission. A smile came to her face as thoughts of how she can use it to gain their trust entered her mind as she left. She had a lot to prepare for and little time to do it.
