Scarlet Knight

Two Years. That is how long it has been since Evan had arrived on the world of Altera, and took up arms against the Necromancer known as the Enchantress. Today was to be the final battle but there had been whispers that the enemy was attempting a ritual to summon an army of unkillable undead to finish the living armies off for good. So with hopes of stopping this ritual, the army rushed to the castle of the necromancer and laid siege to the fortress. The fighting was some of the worst that Evan and his two friends had seen but they along with their soldiers were determined to end this threat. But soon the army of the living had cornered the Enchantress in the ritual room where only the most willed could seem to enter. Leaving only the three friends forged on the battlefield to enter to face this blight on the land.

The fighting was fierce as the three heroes took on the necromancer and after a few, too many close calls it was down to just the Enchantress and Evan left able to fight. As Evan fought on the ritual grew in strength and seeing this he knew that soon it would be complete and they would have failed. So as the magic in the chamber reaches its zenith he tackled the necromancer into the circle and waved goodbye to his friend and love before with a flash of darkness he and the necromancer were no more. Leaving the Knight Commander and his sister the Princess to greave for his loss along with the rest of their nation after sharing his story of how he came to be in their world and saved it at the greatest price. Little did they know that that was only the end of a chapter in our young hero's life.

On another distant world of magic and fantasy, a young filly was taking her test to enter the most prestigious school for magic in the world when a burst of rainbow light filled the room with more magic than the young filly had ever felt before sending her magic into uncontrolled bursts of wild magic. Some effects of this magic were the hatching of the dragon egg that she was instructed to hatch for her exam, turning her parents into potted plants, the mediators watching her floated into the air, and being rendered unconscious by the tidal wave of magic coming from this filly.

As the chaos was noticed by the monarch of the nation be hurriedly flew to the scene but as she tapped into the magic field around the filly and dragon hatchling with the hopes to siphon it off. The whole exam room literally exploded from the force leaving behind a small crater where the filly and hatchling had been as the plants returned to normal and the professors of the school came around there was no trace of the young filly or the baby dragon. So it was on this day that the filly known as Twilight Sparkle was pronounced dead along with an unnamed baby dragon due to a magical flare. Little did anypony know or even consider that the explosion was an effect not a cause. As the pair had been teleported away by the filly's desire to get away from the pain coursing through her that ended up exploding.

It had been three weeks since Evan arrived in this new forest in a similar manner to last time save that this time he was still in his tattered and torn armor with his sword and bow at his side. But that was where the similarities ended as his body had been changed by the magic of this world it seemed into the form of one of its inhabitants. It still didn't end there though as he was no longer a human but going by the wide wings and scales and talons. The ability to breathe fire and the muzzle full of razor-sharp teeth lead him to conclude he was now an anthro dragon. And yet that still wasn't what was the biggest difference to him. It was the fact he was no longer a he at all. SHE had become a female dragoness and was in a whole new world once more. Though this time she had weapons and armor along with skills to use them and after a quick test, she could still use the magic she was able to learn in her time on Altera. Though her magic felt stronger and after another test she found she could cast far more than she was able to before.

In those three weeks, she had learned quite a bit about her new world and body. Her age appeared to be the same as before but those deep blue scales covering her body left her well-armored even while naked which she learned the hard way when bathing one day she was attacked by a pack of wolves. Though these were not the normal flesh and blood she was used to or even the smelly undead things she had to fight before. Though there was a tant of necromancy tied to them they were made of wood. Which was when she learned her clawed hands worked well as weapons and that she could breathe fire like the dragons she knew about. She even learned she could use her tail in a fight if needed. She had build a rather nice camp deep in this forest all in all. She felt proud of it even as when she had arrived that saying stuck with her of 'Don't Panic' and she got to work. As soon as she was able to move about without falling onto her ass she tried to find evidence of the necromancer she had been fighting but other than a patch of dead grass in a clearing a mile or so away that was out of place there was no other evidence that she had come with her.

So those first three weeks passed by without much of notice that was until today when Evan, she feels she will need a new name soon enough, felt a difference in the ambient magic in the forest. When suddenly to the North of her little camp there was a loud explosion that drew her attention along with the attention of many inhabitants of the forest many of whom had a taste for flesh. Quickly grabbing her sword and rushing in the direction of the noise she made her way to the epicenter. As she neared she found the usual tress seemed to be burned and charred the closer she got to the center. As she grew closer and closer to the center of this devastation she heard a shrill scream of a young girl in trouble.

Pain.

That was the first thing that registered in Tiwlight's mind as she came around. Slowly opening her eyes she was greeted by a newly made clearing in some forest. She was laying in a crater along with the newly hatched dragon with trees in splinters and burning around her little hole in the woods. Just then she heard a ground-shaking roar behind her and turned to find a Manticore had wandered closer to find out what happened to his hunting grounds. The roar had awoken the baby dragon who wailed and crawled closer to her to get away from the fierce predator when Twilight let out a scream of equal volume to the roar as she clung tight to the baby dragon.
