The first week Spike had spent in this new world had come and gone pretty fast to make things simple, while Spike was still interested with what this world had to offer, he hasn't gotten enough time to learn about it's history and culture, this world had far more advanced dragons then Equestria did, and from living here for just a week, Spike's seen how different and more civilized they are.

Spike had managed to introduced Simon to Nestor when Simon found him and Spyro last week, and after a little bit of talking, Nestor decided it was best for Spike to have a guardian dragonfly of his own, he may be just as young as Spyro, and he needs someone to look over him, so with that, Spike and Simon were now mainly together most of the time, he and Sparx has been getting along pretty well, and Spyro has started hanging out with Spike more often.

While it's been great living in this new world, Spike still wishes to find out what he can, and starting today, he's gonna start learning stuff that's important. It's the first real day of him going to school in this world, dragon school to be exact. It's gonna help him learn about each tribe in this world, and what they do, Spike's pretty eager to get this day going, and since he and Spyro are gonna be learning things together, it may be a fun way of learning things.

The sun was rising over the Artisans world once again, most dragons have already woken up and were looking to do their plans for today, most were already out and flying around, and some were going through portals to other realms beyond this one. And as the sun shines through Spike's room, Spike starts to wake up again after another night of rest.
"Ugh... is it morning already?" Spike asked tiredly as he was opening his eyes, he was gaining his focus again, and he soon found himself back in his new room, he's still surprised this is all real, and even when he's been living here for a week, he's still glad that he's allowed to stay in this place.

As Spike was waking up, he heard his new Dragonfly friend Simon wake up as well, he was getting up from a new mini house that they got for him, it's similar to what Sparx has when Spike saw Spyro's own room, and Simon looked eager to get the day going. He flew over to Spike and tried having him get up, Spike chuckled lightly seeing him and yawned a bit.
"Morning Simon, you ready for the first day of dragon school here?" Spike asked as he was rubbing his eyes.

Simon only had a happy smile on him and tried saying "Yes" In his language, Spike still hasn't properly learned how to speak Dragonfly yet, so hopefully this will be one of the things he's gonna do today.
"Glad to hear it, can't believe it's already been a week since I came to search for my mom.." Spike said as he was waking himself up, he looked out the window and saw the beautiful view of this world, and he sighed sadly while wondering what happened with his mom.

"I just wish there was any clue we could find her here buddy, she sounds like she needs my help, and even if I learn stuff here, she's still out there, alone.. and without me.." Spike said sadly while Simon looked down regretfully as well, despite how much he wanted to tell Spike the truth, they can't fully understand eachother yet, and they have to wait a bit longer until they can really start searching for her.

Simon only flew up besides Spike's shoulder, he noticed how similar he and his mother looked, they looked identical to eachother, and knowing Spike went so long without her just worries Simon.
"I still can't believe I'm actually here you know? I never thought I'd meet my mother, especially after that imposter lied to me and made me look like an idiot for it. I've had enough of being taken for a fool like that, and hopefully while I'm here.. I can prove that I can handle myself.. despite how much I love Twilight and my family, they tend to be overprotective at times, and I'm often just left home.. while they go on grand adventures, saving Equestria, and finding out.. what they're place in the world is.." Spike said to Simon who was interested with hearing that, but unknown to him, Spyro and Nestor were listening in from the other side after waking up too, and were concerned with Spike's thoughts on all of this.

"I just don't know if I'll be able to find her Simon.. even with the letter she sent me.. I don't know if I can believe it still.. she's been gone for so long.. It makes me question if she still cares for me.. even if she said it in the letter herself.." Spike said with guilt as he looked at the letter his mother gave to him, Simon sighed sadly hearing that from Spike, she was right on how Spike would feel with being away from her for so long, and it hurts to see it from him.

"I just.. don't know if this can work.. even with the other dragons looking for her.. what if.. she can't be found?" Spike asked himself, he was worried on what she would be like, and what's happened to her, Simon was worried too, even with the spots she's hiding in around this world, they can only keep her hidden for so long, and how she'll find Spike will be a question to be answered later.

After hearing enough of this talk, Nestor decided to lighten Spike's mood up with what he's gonna learn today. Nestor lightly knocked on Spike's door to know if Spike's ready for today.
"Spike? Are you awake? We're about to begin, you ready for school today?" Nestor asked from the other side which shook Spike out of his thoughts, he's spent a while thinking over this stuff, but now that he's here, he needs to focus on what's important here.

"I'm up Nestor, just finishing up! I'll be out in a sec!" Spike replied as he hopped off his bed, he put the letter he had in a small shelf for later, he then got a spare bag of supplies he could use for learning today, and Simon looked ready to go, Spike took a deep breath and looked outside to the new world he's in once again, and felt some sense of determination looking over it all.

"This is it, let's see what this world has to offer.." Spike said with confidence as he and Simon went out of his room, Spike opened up his door room, and was greeted with Nestor and Spyro who were waiting for him, Nestor smiled seeing Spike being prepared for today, and Spyro was glad he's still up for learning too.

"Good morning Spike, I take it your ready for your first lessons today?" Nestor greeted as he held another book in his arm again.

"Of course Nestor, sorry for the wait, I was just waking up, first day and all, there's a lot I need to get done, and I hope I'll be able to do well with what there is here." Spike answered with a smile which made them glad to hear.

"Don't worry buddy, we're taking things simple today, since your new to this world, Nestor decided it's best he helps you learn to fly around here, even if you have wings, it's best you get a hang on what each part of this land has, just to let you be aware of your surroundings." Spyro assured which made Spike eager to know that.

"Really? I'm gonna be seeing what's around here today?" Spike asked surprised while turning to Nestor.

"Yes, you are a new student, but you are also a purple dragon like Spyro, it's only important that you have the best lessons, while all of our students take they're preferred lessons based on certain thins like art, fighting and magic, your still small and need proper guidance, and I figured this would be the best start for your teachings." Nestor explained which made Spike excited to know it.

"That sounds really fun! I can't wait to learn stuff here! This is so exciting to know!" Spike said eagerly as they started walking through the halls, Spyro chuckled at his enthusiasm and liked how eager he was.

"Never thought there was someone who's excited for learning here, most lessons can be pretty long and drag on for most, I'll admit, even I fell asleep in class a few times before, mainly during history lessons." Spyro admitted which Nestor scoffed at.

"You stayed up for most of that night playing catch with those sheep, I know you like messing with those guys Spyro, but it's important you take care of how often you focus on certain things, if you play catch with those sheep too much, you'll burn yourself out. You need to pay attention with things Spyro." Nestor advised which made Spyro roll his eyes hearing that.

"I got it Nestor.. I was just trying to have fun.." Spyro said in a bored tone which made Spike turn to Sparx for a moment.

"Does this often happen with him?" Spike asked quietly to him, Sparx only nodded in a yes mood in response, and that let Spike understand what Spyro likes doing most of the time here.

"Maybe we'll play some games when we have free time, and it doesn't involve chasing Sheep, I honestly don't like the sound of it.." Spike said quietly while shaking his head, despite this little talk, Spike was interested with what he's gonna be learning today, and they all walked through the temple to begin they're day.

After that small talk, Spike, Spyro and Nestor went out of the temple to go to a proper area where Spike could start practicing his flying, he's gotten plenty of good tricks thanks to Smolder despite his short time having wings, and he can be pretty fast when he's focusing straight, he's had a lot to think about with how these lessons are gonna go, so hopefully he won't have too much trouble with his flight training.

Once Spike and Nestor met up at a proper area to begin this test, Nestor made sure there were proper flying obstacles Spike had to be aware of. They were in a large open field just outside the temple, Nestor had set up large gem towers around the area that looked like they needed to be tagged, there were some hoops around the area that Spike may need to fly through, and extra items that were set up for training.

Nestor, Spyro and Spike were all together at the start of this course, despite it looking pretty simple, Nestor hoped they could properly make it through here with the experience they have, Spyro's had a lot of flight training before, but this was more of a test to see if they can really handle challenges that involve a similar situation in the future, so it at least won't be too boring today.
"Alright, let's start things off simple today, you both are young dragons with a bright future ahead of you, but you will also need to know how your body's work and how far you can go, and once you know it, you must push past it to become a stronger person! We dragons all have something unique to us, and you two have potential to be some of the most important in this generation." Nestor instructed as he and Spyro were listening what he has to say.

Spike was interested with what he's saying about them, and Spyro was keeping focus on things since today will be more interesting then most.
"You both may be purple dragons, but that won't mean anything to others unless you show them your skill, and what your capable of. that's why today, you both will be going through flight obstacles today, you will try and get through the course as quickly as you can, your job will be to tag the crystal towers, they'll glow brighter once you touch them, and while doing that, you must follow the path each of the hoops have, they will lead you through this. Stray off course, and you'll have to start over again, do you understand that you two?" Nestor asked in a calm, but stern tone, hoping they knew what he's talking about.

Spike looked over the course and looked at the pathway layed out before them, a lot of it went through the tunnels and nearby the waters of the place, the hoops looked to lead them across this entire temple, and if Spike can see it right, it looks like this will be just to test they're reflexes and how far they can fly across this place without tiring out.
"It sounds simple enough, I've gotten some flight lessons back home thanks to a friend of mine, but this looks a bit more interesting then what my world had when it came to this.." Spike replied as he looked over the course, and tried figuring out how it's all set up.

"It doesn't sound too bad, I think this will be easy! I've had a lot of time to practice my flying, so it's great we're finally gonna put our wings to more use!" Spyro said eagerly as he and Spike spread they're wings.

Nestor smiled seeing they're confidence, he always liked seeing this within his students, and even with how old he gets, he'll always look over the young ones like a father, and these two mean a lot to they're kind here.
"Alright, I'll be recording your time on how long it takes to make it through it, you have to tag each crystal tower, and fly through each hoop in proper order, miss one, and you have to start over, you two ready to begin?" Nestor asked as he went to the side for them to begin while holding a stopwatch.

Spike and Spyro looked at the course and felt confidence seeing it, it looked like it was simple to learn, and if they keep things at a good pace, they'll make it through just fine.
"We're ready Nestor, let's go!" Spike assured as he and Spyro got in a starting stance, Nestor smiled at that and waited for the right moment to begin it.

"And... go!" Nestor announced as he shot a fireball in the air to signal them to go, Spike and Spyro quickly took off to start they're first lesson, they both flew around the area with a steady pace to keep themselves from going off course, Spike was in awe of seeing this land from so high up, while it was small in some areas, the portals that led to the other realms only made this a smaller part, of a much grander world. And seeing it all from so high up was amazing to see.

Spike and Spyro went high into the air till they could properly be at the crystal towers height, they could see a ton of different ways around the place, and the hoops all lead them around this land so they could see all there is here.
"Well, this is it, you ready to start this Spike?" Spyro asked as Spike kept a steady pace while flying.

"Let's do it! Race you to the end!" Spike declared before he suddenly flew off faster which made Spyro smile eagerly which Simon chuckled at.

"Oh your on!" Spyro shouted with a smirk before he quickly flew on after him. Spike flew down to the open tunnels there were that lead through the Artisans world, there were a lot of hoops he had to fly through to keep focus on the course, he went through some of the tunnels that were opened up for this course, how Nestor could set it up so fast is something to ask later. But soon enough, Spike soon saw the first Crystal tower just near one of the portals that lead to another realm, and Spike flew to it as fast as he could.

"And... tag!" Spike shouted as he taped the crystal and it glowed brighter upon contact, Spyro quickly followed behind and tagged the crystal only a second later, Spyro quickly flew after Spike as they flew through more hoops, avoiding whatever building was in they're way. A lot of dragons could see them flying in the air above them, and they waved in a friendly way as they kept up they're training.

"Man, this feels so great! i've never gotten to properly fly like this before!" Spike said with joy as he and Spyro flew right by eachother's side.

"Really? I thought you had your wings for your whole life like I did? Aren't dragons like you born with wings back in Equestria?" Spyro asked as they flew near the waters and tagged another tower near the rocky walls.

"Eh.. not really, we have to go through a stage called the Molt Down effect, it's basically like a dragon shedding it's own skin to sprout wings. And let me tell you, you are lucky to be born with them, because.. ooh boy it wasn't pretty, it itched so bad, and my fire breath was often out of control." Spike answered as he breathed fire in the air to spark things up.

Spyro was interested to hear that, and given how different dragons of this world and Equestria are, it only made him interested with more of what they have.
"That's interesting, does your kind know magic? Or have they're own culture like each of our tribes do?" Spyro asked as they flew by another tower and tagged the 3rd one by now, leaving 3 more to get.

"Eh.. not really, from what I've seen, dragons live in wastelands that most creatures wouldn't even go to, they mainly live off on eating gems and fighting, while the Dragon Lands back home are interesting, compared to this world, they're honestly pretty sad when you look at all of this." Spike answered as he looked over the beautiful landscape.

"Well, at least that'll be one thing we have here, but hey, at least this means they have potential to improve in the future right? You said this friend of yours leads the dragons, so maybe if we ever meet her, we could start expanding things and sharing each tribes knowledge, I'm sure Titan and the other leaders would be happy to ally with Ember to do it." Spyro suggested which Spike liked the sound of.

"Yeah, that sounds like a cool idea, only problem is, that this world and Equestria are incredibly far away from eachother, I was only able to get here thanks to that potion my mother sent me, and if that tiny potion was the only thing that could bring me here, we may have tougher ways to find a proper portal to make it back home.." Spike replied while looking a bit guilty, he still felt bad for having to leave his friends like that, but he had one chance, but still.. it was worrying with how long he's been gone at this point.

"Hey, don't worry buddy, we'll find a way to make a way to your home, I'm sure your friends will be able to hold out, at least till we find out where your mom is." Spyro assured which made Spike feel a bit better hearing that, and Simon prayed they could find her soon before something bad happens to her.

"Thanks Spyro, I'm glad to have someone to help me, come on, we're almost done with this course, let's finish things up!" Spike declared before he regained his speed and kept flying to the next towers with Spyro following behind.

Nestor was watching over they're progress as they kept this test up, they were doing well for dragons of they're age, and Nestor was proud for them being able to push through it this well. Nestor looked at the stopwatch and saw they were up to 4 minutes here, and this would set a goal for them to break they're record.
"We're gonna need to up the challenge for these two in the future.." Nestor told himself as he kept watch over them both.

But as Nestor kept watching over them, the door to the temple opened up which got Nestor's attention, and he was surprised to see that Titan was here for something, he often shows up for the meetings they have from time to time, but if he was here, it may be for something important.
"Titan, what are you doing here? Is everything alright?" Nestor asked as he turned to him, Titan only nodded respectfully and turned to Spike and Spyro as they kept up they're flying, and Titan had an important report he had to tell him.

"I'm fine Nestor, I've just come to give you some news, it may tie into our new friend here." Titan informed which made Nestor a bit worried, he looked back at the two as they were turned around for a bit, and they quickly snuck to a corner to talk about this.

"What have you found my friend?" Nestor asked as they hid themselves for right now. Titan made sure to know the detail of what he's been told, and made sure not to leave out any important info.

"I've gotten reports recently of a hooded figure being spotted near the Peacekeepers World, the figure looked like a dragon like all of us, but no one could see they're face, they came from a strange portal overnight from what some people saw, and that person is currently somewhere in my world." Titan explained which made Nestor really surprised hearing it.

"Do you.. think it could be.. the one searching for him?" Nestor asked as they looked back at Spike for a brief moment, while it could be true, it was also something to be concerned about just from the sound of it.

"It's possible, but no one saw they're face, but this person was gifted with magic, and from what we learned with the letter Spike was given, his mother may be skilled with it, so it could be her.." Titan suggested which made Nestor think over it for a bit.

"Hmm.. this is worrying, you'd best send some scouts out to find where this person is, and see if it's really her. Try not to startle her, if she's looking for Spike, we should try and make sure it's not a threat." Nestor instructed which Titan understood perfectly.

"Got it, I'll send scouts out by sundown, it may be easier for them at that time." Titan replied as they could see Spyro and Spike were finishing up, and they knew they had to cut this short.

"Good, let me know about what else there is to her, and see if it really is Spike's mother, we have a lot to talk with her if we can find her, but for now, just keep looking for her. " Nestor instructed as he was making his way back to his position.

"Understood, I'll keep you updated when I can." Titan finished before he quickly took off into the sky's to head home, and Nestor had to figure out how to handle this.

Spike and Spyro had finally finished up with they're training course, they were pretty tired from all the flying they had to do, but this day was just getting started, and they had a lot more they needed to learn.
"Man, that was exhausting, I can see why you prefer chasing sheep, but at least we're getting faster when it comes to flying." Spike said as he stretched his arms as they landed back down.

"Tell me about it, even with all I've been learning here, flying can be pretty tiring when it comes to lessons like this. But at least it's over for now.." Spyro said with relief as they went back up to Nestor.

Nestor looked at his stopwatch and was impressed with they're record, while most dragons can get through it faster, for dragons they're age, it's pretty impressive with what they can do.
"Good job you two, you did this in 5 minutes, that's really good for a first test, you both have done well today. We'll keep up with your flying lessons for most of the week, but soon we'll start getting more complex with them, you both had things easy today, so you'd both take it easy to prepare yourself for the real challenges." Nestor instructed as they took heavy breaths.

"You mean we'll be facing tougher obstacles then that in the future? Man, the way people learn here is strange.." Spike replied as Simon was on his shoulder again.

"You'll get used to it buddy, believe me, it gets tiring, but can be a good challenge when your skilled enough." Spyro assured which made Spike give a thumbs up in response.

Nestor smiled seeing they're determination, and was glad they were able to handle things well here today.
"Good work you two, come on, let's take a break for now, we'll have more lessons to learn as each day passes, but when we're done with you both, you will be more then capable of handling yourselves." Nestor assured which made them confident in what they'll be able to do.

"Glad to hear it. I'll look forward to learning more lessons here.. and this is only the start of it.." Spike replied as they were making they're way to the temple, Spike was glad he's handling things well here, but hopefully soon, he'll find a way to travel this world to see all there is to it.

However, far far away from the Artisans world, we open to a shot of a strange crystal cave within an unknown cavern, there were lots of supplies for someone to live here for weeks, there were books on some parts of the ground, and the entrance was blocked off with some boulders that hid the place. But at the center of it, was a familiar hooded dragon, she was looking through a crystal, and using her own magic, she could see two purple dragons, and a larger one going through the temple.

The dragon smiled with relief knowing he's really here, and that he trusted the letter she sent him, and what made it better, is that her own dragonfly found him, which made things easier for her to keep an eye on them.
"You really came to find me.. my child.." She said with a loving tone as she looked directly at Spike through the crystal, never taking her eyes off him, he looked so confident and young with what she sees of him, and knowing he really took the letter made her feel joy she hasn't felt in such a long time.

"One day.. we'll see eachother.. and I promise.. we'll never be apart again.. and I promise.. I'll tell you everything when it happens.. my child.." She said with a sad look as she removed her hood, and she was revealed to look exactly like Spike, with lighter shades of purple, and with a sharp green spine and underbelly that went down most of her body, she has visible battle scars on most parts, but she looked more then capable of keeping herself safe.

"One day my child.. I'll find a way to reach you.. I promise.." She assured as she kept a watch over him, and promise herself that she'll find a way to meet him, no matter how long it takes..
