After a while of no noise being uttered from the ponies and dragon gathered there princesses sol and moon just looked at Abundance and hef father in silence.

"...yes. what of it?" Moon said raising a brow

"Oh!. I, uhhhh..." Abundance didnt know what to say. She overeacted because From what her father told her, all dragons had been basically killed of.

"No way, they actually hatched the egg?..." her father said in deep surprise, so low you could basically call it a whisper.

Sad for him he was heard by everyone.

"Something to tell me about this dad?" She asked in sarcasm. Making the princesses look at him too.

"Well... i didnt really lie to you if that is what you are thinking. The chances for the literal last dragon in existence in this case an egg to hatch were...slim to none. " he defended himself raising his hands.

After a moment of reflection she guessed it didnt matter now. Even her usual practical clases at the royal public school ( for basic metalurgy among other habilities and knowledge to make and do things) were now lost due to the time (she was late today due to coming here) .

"So... this dragon did the rainbow beam?" She was thankful she could get some answers.

"Its a he" moon simply stated.

"Ok... HE did it?" She was getting impatient.

"Yes, amazing isnt it?" Sol smiled proud of her little baby.

"Yes!, what was that anyway?. I mean... Is that a spell i can learn?. I dont care if just asthetical and destructive with no practical use buuuut can i learn it?." She asked giving puppy eyes.

"Not really, no. I mean, if replicating the colors with/in magic is the thing that you want you could always learn chromatic magic and mix it with a light spell but doing exactly... whatever that was, then no." Moon said in a somewhat desinterested tone.

"Oh mumu, dont be like that...(yes in even in this universe they can get pet names) its just a fascinated filly" Sol chastised slightly

"What do you propose then?, need i remind you we know little to no dragon knowledge? Let alone magic. If it was not four our now late friends or current protegeé, then prince Spike's egg could have risked rotting away." She surmized

"I mean yes but...

Before sol could continue Dusk light interrupted.

"Actually princess, among the books and scrolls you both gave me before i hatched Crown's egg. I think i recall somewhat decoding some books and scrolls mentioning something akin to dragon magic or in this case "rainbow magic" being related with something called "technologies" "though i tried to replicate it i havent done it succesfully"

The princesses faces blanched at that, while Abundance and her father looked intriged.

"Holy shhhh...-" moon couldnt even end her sentence from the mix of fear and euphoria.
"We got jackpot.." sol looked absolutely extatic.

"? "
"?"
"?"
Sol being the ever patient mare decided to explain "Oh... right, you guys dont know. Well... you all remember the dragonic genocide some bad ponies... (she took a nasty look at abundance's father) pushed for and caused, right?"

The stallion merely gulped looking away while the rest of the ponies noded.

"Well there is lots and i mean LOTS of dragonic lore and history almost no pony knows. You see the thing is, they were VERY intelligent and VERY skilled beings. While we never disclosed to the public, most of our current vapor based technologies are all thanks to them and their... lets call dragonic arts. Those being metalurgy and alchemy.

This picked the unicorns interest.

"Before the whole genocide idea was pushed to the public, they were helping us create some designs to one up the Corrupted mana monsters, and with the help of a select few chosen people (or at least we thought so at the time) we had various places for researching and DESIGNING tools, equipment, you name it with 5 key focuses: increasing prime matter gathering, decreasing prime matter time for processing it, Increasing food production, Increasing medicine production and... weaponry."

Abundance's curiosity and will to know more was peaked!, so dragons were inventors and designers?! that was absolutely breath taking. Also from what she was hearing they were doing all she ever wanting to do, to make the world a better place... well, except for the weapon part.

"However, the weapon department apparently were onto something big because regardless of the cause for the leak of information being spies or just freaked out insiders... whatever they got caused panic among the races, so much that they feared the potentials of this weapons and how they could change the power dinamic among the kingdom races, since ponies were the dominant race at the time and apparently the weapons were somewhat easy to produce, so they made sure to do anything to prevent them from coming to light..."

"WHAT!?" Abundance's father was livid.

"THATS BULLSHIT!, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE WHOLE BUCKING THING THAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO WAS BECAUSE SOME PRICKS PREFERED BEING "ON TOP" OF THE FOOD CHAIN AND FEARED LOSING THEIR PRIVILEGE TO OTHER RACES BECAUSE OF A POSIBLE WEAPON REVOLUTION!?" if this was true then not only all he was told for the "Anti-Dragon resistance" at the time was a lie but it was even worse because not only they were obviously wrong in their "beliefs and philosophy" but they did not even do it with the main objective of protecting ponykind in mind!, it was just so they could remain in control!!"

"Oh, mind proving us wrong would you now?" moon was out of patience if her icy tone did not convey her murderous intent enough

Realizing his pathetic outburst Sitched pants look at the ground ashamed "im Deeply sorry princesses, its just... i already know what we did was a sin but... to think that it was even more of a lie than i thought? and to top it all off it all started NOT because ponies were afraid of a posible "dragonic insurrection" but because they feared the weapons they created FOR US? Just because some pricks could lose privileges?.... buck me, why didnt you tell me this before?

Sol sighed "Because we did not want to or didnt need to do so. In anycase, that is the reason why Mumu and i Are very excited. Perhaps not only the documents from the investigations survived apparently but we may even finish them and achive the fruits of the labor we before thought was lost.

This whole story resonated with Abundance. Whatever those dragons were doing, resonated with her ideals and desires, and she wanted to know more.

There was a deep silence while all the ponies in the room thought to themselves. Silence, that was broken after Abundance's train of thought came to a conclusion.

"Princesses?" she asked with conviction.

looking at her they waited for her to speak up "I may only have basic knowledge in metallurgy thanks to my classes at the royal school... BUT Please, let me keep learning more about those dragonic arts along the school metallurgy so that way maybe i can aid you to give this old projects life!" She exclaimed with the most convinced face and tone she ever had in her short life for anything, as an intense silver and blue beam shined from her neck as a 3 iron bars cutie mark appeared.

Now she could help Design her ideal world. She was, a designer by nature afterall.
