I blearily open my eyes as my sleep Is interrupted by the constant shaking of the carriage as I start to remember exactly what led to me being In a carriage In the first place.

"Right, moltings over and some weird dragon-looking creature decided to be cryptic while also being terrifying," I whispered to myself as the first thought that came to mind was to look outside.

As I looked out the window the first thing I notice Is how we were no longer anywhere near the forest as there was no more grass or trees to be seen.

Though I guess on the bright side that just made the lack of colors and lack of plant life help me more In confirming that we were pretty much back In the Dragon Lands and after a couple of more minutes would have fully re-entered.

Though the second thing I noticed was because of how narrow the path seemed I was able to get a great view of how high up we were as I looked down only to see nothing that would save us from crashing Into the ground.

" Unless the Unicorn knows how to levitate," I muttered to myself as I turned away from the window wanting to get that somewhat morbid thought out of my head as my eyes settled on the two of the most important pe-dragons of my life so far, considering their two out of three only dragons I have an actual decent relationship with.

The most surprising In my opinion Is being In a friendly relationship with Ember since when I figured out where I would be spending the rest of my second life I never once expected to be able to talk to the Dragon Lord's Daughter daily excluding the fact that we're pretty much friends or 'companions' as dragons call It.

If I'm being honest to myself I was prepared to talk to her once and then be forgotten by her but I will gladly take this path instead.

Though I can't forget about possibly one of the best additions to my new life which Is Garble, the little brother surprisingly.

It's funny since before his reformation In the show he would always be the person I disliked the most coming on screen, mostly because of how he treated Spike since he was like one of my favorites so maybe I was a little biased but I didn't care.

'But now we're family and we love each other to death, sometimes he goes overboard considering how overprotective of me he Is even though I'm the older one,' I think grinning, 'But if I'm being honest I wouldn't have It any other way.'

As I finished that thought the carriage seemed to hit some sort of bump as the inside jumped a little causing Garble's cheek to land on the side of the carriage wall while somehow still holding Smolder as she opened her eyes for a second before closing them back and Embers cheek to land on my shoulder as they all continued to sleep like nothing happened.

'Really?' I think to myself as I look back at them after focusing on keeping myself In one spot just to find them sleeping peacefully before focusing on Ember as I go to help put her back how she was before only to freeze.

Now For some reason as my hand hovers near her, I can't help but feel upset at the idea of moving her away from me and instead wrap around and grab her shoulder bringing her closer to me as I'm filled with immediate satisfaction instead.

'I guess this isn't too bad and I can help keep her still like this just in case, yeah this Is fine.' I reason with myself as I yawn and start to close my eyes going back to sleep.

30 Minutes Later

I feel myself being shaken awake as I open my eyes to find Ember staring back at me with a small smile.

"Time to get up Falkor," She said turning as she exited the carriage as I took a few seconds getting up before joining her outside.

"Alright, we've made It to the Dragon Lands so you creatures should be fine by yourself now right?" The unicorn asked

"Yep, thanks for the ride," Garble said still holding into a sleeping Smolder.

"No problem, but now we got to go and pick up the egg we're here for, have a good day young ones," He said doing a finger salute before hitting the side of the carriage as he entered and shut the door before they pulled off and left.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked while I started to stretch out.

"No clue but you were pretty knocked out In there," He said before a sly smile appears on his face.

"Even had your arm wrapped around Princess Ember here while you two were asleep," He said causing me to freeze as I looked over towards Ember trying to come up with an excuse.

"W-Well I only did It because the ca-thing earlier started bumping around and you landed on my shoulder so I thought If I wra-"

"Stop Talking," She said a bit forcefully as she gets In my face causing me to go quiet as she looks at me upset for a few seconds before she smiles and steps back.

"Now that you've stopped blabbering, first things first Falkor I am not upset." She said

"You're not?" I asked still a bit unsure

"No I'm not, besides If I was upset at you trust me, you would know," She said calmly

"So don't worry about It, you're probably the only drake I trust enough to do something like that," She said causing me to blush a little.

"Oh ok, well thanks then," I said smiling before a question popped Into my mind.

"What about Garble?" I asked curious

"Please," She said rolling her eyes, "The last time he did something like that I blinked and It was over," She said causing us to laugh at the memory.

"Touché." I said

"Whatever I only did It because Falkor asked me to," Garble said looking slightly embarrassed.

"See what I mean?" Ember asked

"Ohhhh Yeah, definitely no doubt about that, " I said before walking up to Garble.

"Though no matter how much he might say he hates It I know he still loves it when I do It," I said ruffling his gill-like features causing him to blush In embarrassment before he knocks my hand away with his free one.

"I-I only let you do that so you don't bother me about It all the time," He said looking annoyed causing me to step back In confusion before It clicks for me.

'Right, gotta remember that we're back In the Dragon Lands which means that being overly affectionate makes you the number one target of being ridiculed,' I think to myself as I look back at Garble.

"Heh my bad Garble, didn't mean to upset you too much," I said grinning causing him to roll his eyes and begin to walk off acting upset as me and Ember slowly catch up to him.

"What was that about?" Ember asked

"Nothing serious just a reminder to not act all 'kind' to each other In public," I said causing her to look more confused before her eyes widened In understanding.

"Ohh right, feels weird having to worry about other dragons seeing us act like that with each other." She admitted

"Well, I guess now since we're older we can't be seen acting 'soft' with each other, especially you now that I think of It," I said causing her to look at me confused again.

"What? Why especially me?" She asked

"Well, you're the Dragon Lord's daughter right?" I questioned

"Ye-oh right." She said looking annoyed as soon as she figured It out causing me to laugh.

"Oh shut up," She said acting upset before smiling.

"Eheh, sorry just how fast your face shifted from being confused to being annoyed was funny to me," I said still grinning.

"You're lucky I like you so much or I would've punched you already," Ember said holding up her fist.

"So you like me then?" I asked grinning causing her face to turn red as she tries to come up with a retort.

"We- I- that's not-" She spluttered out before sighing and bringing a hand down her face as she looked back at me.

"Fine, you win this time," She said before getting In my face.

"Don't worry though, I'll find a way to get back at you," She said menacingly before smiling as she backed up and left to catch up with Garble.

"Heh heh, I'm in danger," I said to myself as I started to feel anticipated and excited causing me to grin for some reason.

"Though I guess I wouldn't have It any other way," I said to myself as I go to catch up with them as I stand next to Garble causing him to constantly glance up at me.

"You're fine Garble don't worry about It," I say causing him to look up at me worried.

"Trust me I understand why you acted like that you don't worry about It ok," I said reassuringly as I see him look relieved as he nods and looks forward before slightly leaning on me causing me to smile before realizing something.

"Wait, where are we supposed to go?" I ask out loud causing the others to freeze.

"Uhh, I guess to where Dad lives?" Ember suggested as me and Garble looked at each other as he shrugged.

"I guess we can," I say as we start to follow Ember back to Torch's cave.

"You know I wonder what mom's doing?" Garble asks causing me to slightly wonder as well.

"Yeah, me to-"

"Well, well look who we have here," A familiar voice said causing me to look up to see a dragon I hadn't seen In a while.

"Hello, Viserion," I said with a small frown as Garble and Ember looked upset, "Been a while." I said

"It has, though to be honest I'm surprised to find that Princess Ember Is still hanging around you two," He said sounding genuinely intrigued.

"Yes, she Is now what do you want?" I asked not In the mood to deal with him causing him to frown as he walks up to me.

"Tomorrow I want a rematch, me, you, and nothing but our strength and own draconic rights." He said simply

"Why with me specifically?" I asked

"Can't you fight another drake that's as tough as me?" I asked annoyed

"I could, but then none of them would be you," He said pointing at me.

"Besides don't tell me you wouldn't want to fight, not after what you felt winning last time," He said to me grinning as he showed off his teeth.

"If I say yes will you leave us alone?" I asked not wanting to deal with him.

"Sure, just remember our rematch tomorrow," He said as he turned and flapped his wings flying off.

"We should probably ask Mom to teach us how to do that." I said
