Author's Note

This Is I'm pretty sure my longest chapter yet so I hope you guys do manage to somehow enjoy It since I did try with this one though something tells me that I did something that's going to upset a lot of people which I hope I avoided but If I didn't then thats my fault.

Anyways like always comment If you enjoy the new garbage I posted today or If you hate It also comment what you acted about It and I'll do my best to fix It In the future, see ya!

Now Its Out Of The Way

I blearily open my eyes waking up to the sun once again blinding me causing me to look off to the right annoyed as I hold up my hand to block It from my vision before frowning as I remember my dilemma.

"I guess today's the day, no more hiding," I told myself as I dragged myself up off the floor and got started stretching before catching my breath for a second as I turned back to look over my friend and brother's sleeping bodies Including Smold as they slept away peacefully.

'The question Is If they'll believe me or not, and even after they do will things stay the same or am I ruining something without even knowing It?' I contemplated before shaking my head.

'Doesn't matter, as much as I would like to keep things the way they are they deserve to know things aren't as grim as they seem,' I concluded to myself.

"Nothing to do now but wait, wait, and hope for the best," I said as I sat down and waited.

30 minutes later

As soon as they got up I decided to bring them back to where we hung out the day before which was right behind Torch's cave which thankfully gave us a good amount of privacy for what I wanted to tell them.

"Alright Falk we're out here, I hope this was important because If not then I'm gonna be a bit upset that our time Is being wasted for nothing when we could instead be doing something else," Garble said as Smolder was once again on his head looking confused on why we weren't doing anything.

"Are you sure you're alright? You look like you're nervous about something," Ember pointed out looking worried as I was busy doing my best to calm down.

"Huh? Yeah no don't worry I'm fine," I said putting a hand to my face as I drag It down trying to distract myself from the situation I put myself In.

"Ok what I wanted to sa-"

"I'm baaaaaaaack," Aesthyr said causing me to pause as I brought the ring up to my face.

"Aesthyr!? Is that you?" I asked

"No It's your sins crawling on your back, who else would It be?" She asked sarcastically.

"Alright fine, no need to be so sassy about It," I said rolling my eyes.

"So anyways what happened while I was out?" She asked

"You missed a lot actually but I'll tell you later I need to say something important to the dragons you met before," I said before my eyes widened as I thought about something.

"Actually you might want to stay and hear this," I said seeing how I could tell everyone now instead of later.

"Sure, not like I got much else to do so lay whatever It is on us," Aesthyr said as I looked back up at the others to see them (including Smolder) looking up at me In confusion.

"My bad I was just talking with Aesthyr now that she's back after our little Roc incident," I said as Garble rolled his eyes.

"Ok that's nice and all but we still don't know why you called us out so If you could?" Garble asked as he made a continuous expression from his hand causing me to take In another deep breath and exhale To calm myself down.

"Ok, I just want to say that everything I tell you, I-Its true ok? EVERY. WORD," I conveyed as seriously as I could to them to which they both went back to looking confused.

"Uhh ok, sure I guess," Garble said looking towards Ember who shrugged her arms.

"Also I just want you all to know that I appreciate and love each of you, I want you to know that," I said as sincerely as I could.

"Is everything alright with you Falk? Your uh kinda freaking me out here," Garble said with a nervous expression.

"Yeah, Falkor are you sure you're fine? I mean I haven't seen you this worried... ever, not since we dealt with that Roc and that was a life or death situation," Ember pointed out looking slightly worried.

"I hope things will be fine, I do," I said as I take another moment to try and calm myself.

"I wanted to tell you guys that we can fix the problem that Dragon Lord Torch talked to us about," I said causing both of them to give me doubtful looks.

"Look Falkor don't get me wrong I think you're the best brother In the world but If the DRAGON LORD couldn't fix the problem I don't think there's anything we can do that he hasn't already tried." Garble said

"Besides Dad already told us he even tried working with the pony princess and SHE couldn't even do anything about It, so no offense Falkor but like Garble said there isn't really anything we can do that hasn't already been done." Ember pointed out

"Yeah I know that but what he doesn't know that In the future there will be multiple ways to try and fix the problem with the Bloodstone and end the suffering that dragons are forced to go through," I explained to them.

"For instance, the pony responsible for this whole thing, Sombra will return In the next few decades, I think and that will give us a chance to at least try and find something that will fix what he did," I explained to them as they looked at me confused.

"What?" I asked

"And you just so happen to conveniently know all this somehow because?" Garble asked as I remembered exactly what I needed to tell them.

"Right almost forgot about that, well there's no easy way to say this so I'll just say It, you wanna know how I know?" I asked as they both nodded.

"The reason I know that Is because before I was born as a dragon, I had another life In a different world as something called a human," I pause as both of their eyes widen In surprise before continuing.

"In my, other life I watched something called My Little Pony and uhh how do I explain this to you guys, It was a story for lack of a better word that was meant for young drakinas to like but a lot of drakes also enjoyed It as well, including me." I said

"A-And In that 'story', It showed multiple events that may or may not happen and characters and places that would show up for a little bit or stay for the remainder of the story, and In some of those moments It talked about a specific place called the-"

"Dragon Lands," Ember finished looking at me In disbelief.

"Yes, and In another one of these moments, It talked about a pony named Sombra who like I said would come back In the somewhat near future to try and take over something called the Crystal Empire." I explained

"Who Is also the pony that was responsible for messing with the Bloodstone and putting dragons and hatchlings through Tartarus," Garble said looking serious as well.

"Yeah, so that's, how I know," I said as I stood there waiting.

"So, let me get this straight," Ember said putting a hand on her head as she took a moment to process what I told her.

"You had another life, one that was as a Hue-man that watched our lives like they were some sort of.....story and then one day not only did you die but you also somehow came back to life In the story that you used to enjoy, did I get everything right so far?" Ember asked as I hesitantly nodded causing both of them to look at me In disbelief

"Maker above," Garble said In disbelief as he placed a hand on his forehead slightly dragging It down as he processed what I said.

"I-I know that It sounds crazy but I swear to you that I'm telling you the truth, I swear to the MAKER that I am," I said hoping to convey to them that I am serious.

"And I get that Falk, really I do, I'm not sure about her though," He says gesturing to Ember with his thumb.

"Hey!" Ember called out In slight offense causing Garble to grin for a second before sighing as he faced me again.

"Look Falkor I'm not going to say that what you just told us doesn't sound crazy at all because It does, but even an idiot could see how stressful It seemed for you just to tell us this, so I'll trust you because I know that If It were me In your place you would do anything to help me, and besides were brothers, If we can't trust eachother who can we trust?" Garble asked rhetorically as I sighed In relief.

"Thank you for trusting me, that means a lot to me and I promise I'm telling the truth," I said sincerely as I pulled him In for a hug.

"Yeah, you said that the first time and I already said I trust you, now let go," He said a bit annoyed as I let go.

"My bad," I say to Garble before turning to Ember as she looks deep In thought.

"What about you Ember? What are your, thoughts on what I told you?" I asked still hesitant on her answer.

"You swear to the Maker that everything you're telling us Is true?" She asked suddenly

"Y-Yes I swear, I'm telling both of you the truth." I told her

"Then I'll trust you just like I always have," She said nonchalantly.

"Really!? Just like that!?" I asked still shocked at her nonchalant answer

"Just like that, unless you don't want me to?" She asked innocently causing me to shake my head and my arms In a no-motion.

"N-No, I'm glad you trust me I was just expecting a bit more doubt from you, both of you, I am glad that you trust me though." I clarified

"Well don't get me wrong, like he said everything that you told us does sound crazy," Ember clarified causing me to chuckle.

"Yeah, I uh can understand that." I said awkwardly

"Though, I feel like I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't try to lie about something as important as this and seeing how hard It was for you to share with us about what you were and what you knew before dying." Ember said pausing

"Well that tells me that you trust all of us enough to share something pretty important like that with us, and that at the very least tells me that you aren't trying to keep the truth from us which I appreciate." Ember explained

"Besides I did say that If you needed to get anything off your chest or needed help we'd be there for you, just didn't expect It to be anything this crazy though," She said slightly amused before turning slightly serious.

"Also, If like you said there Is at least one way to fix the problem with the Bloodstone that Sombra caused, then it'd be stupid not to at least see If It is possible and It also doesn't hurt that we have a dragon that knows the future as well." She added on

"So don't worry Falkor, we'll trust you because you trusted us In sharing this with us," Ember said sincerely causing me to sigh In relief again.

"You have, no idea how much that means to me, so thank you, both of you for trusting me and I promise I'm-"

"Falk, don't worry about It, we get It, seriously." Garble said reassuringly

"Right, sorry I'm just kinda still trying to accept the fact that this conversation didn't end badly which I am very thankful for," I said relieved

"How did you think It was going to go? Us being upset at you for something you couldn't control?" Garble asked

"Kinda?" I said unsure

"Trust me If I'm going to get upset at you for anything It would be for a good reason and not something as stupid as that." Ember said reassuringly

"I'm glad," I said as Garble put his arms around my neck and Embers as he brought us together.

"Don't worry Falk, Like Ember said that stuff we trust you so how about you just accept that and relax?" He suggested as Ember smiled reassuringly at me while Smolder hopped off of Garble's head onto mine as she hugged It.

"Right, thanks guys, It means a lot to me," I said as I try to enjoy the moment of love being directed towards me before Garble pulls back.

"Alright, now that that's over and done with we have a fight to get to," Garble said rubbing his hands back and forth.

"If we can even find It," Ember said rolling her eyes, "Unless you forgot Viserion didn't exactly tell us where he would be at." Ember pointed out

"Right, well maybe he's at the spot where he begged Falkor for a rematch," Garble suggested to which Ember shrugged.

"Better than nothing, what do you think Falkor?" Ember asked

"Uhh, yeah I think that's a good idea," I said still smiling from the earlier experience.

"Alright then, lead the way Garble." Ember said

"Alright then let's go, and when we get there don't go losing alright?" Garble said jokingly taking Smolder back as he put her back on his head before he started to walk off with Ember and me following after him

"I'll do my best Garble," I said to myself as I heard Aesthyr speak up again.

"Wow, well that was certainly interesting all right, so you're from another world huh? Pretty interesting." Aesthyr said

[Yeah I am, why?] I asked her

"Oh nothing just surprised Is all, even more, surprised at how fast they focused on something else, but I guess they trust you a lot to be able to focus on something else like that." She said

[I'm just glad that they were understanding and not mad at me,] I admitted to her.

"What would they get mad at you for?" She asked confused

[You know, for not telling them about who I am and where I was originally from.] I told her

"Didn't you just do that?" She pointed out.

[Well I mean yeah but I'm talking about before I told them.] I clarified

"Well like the drakina said It'd be pretty stupid of them to get mad at you for something that you weren't exactly In control of." She said

[And I'm thankful they didn't, now If you'll excuse me I have a fight that I need to figure out how to win,] I told her as I walked off with the dragons who trusted me.

"So Falkor are you ok?" Ember asked

"Why do you ask?" I asked confused

"Well, It's just you told us that you died before becoming a dragon and I just wanted to know If you were doing ok since then," Ember said looking slightly worried.

"I...I'm not gonna lie at first I was kinda having trouble adjusting to my new life, but a lot of stuff has helped me with living In this new life of mine." I told her

"Like what?" Ember asked

"You know, you, guys," I said slightly embarrassed as she smiled back at me.

"Well I'm glad that you're doing alright," Ember said as Garble put his hand around my neck again.

"Me too, though I am a little hurt you didn't tell me at first," Garble said

"Raah!" Smolder helpfully added from the top of his head.

"My bad It's just-"

"Falkor, I'm just messing with you of course you're not gonna share something like that like It's your average everyday problem." Garble said

"Oh my bad then." I said

"No problem, though now that we know your fr-"

"Finally got here huh? Took you long enough," Viserion called out cutting off Garble.

"Guess I can't ask you now then, whatever just make sure you beat him." Garble said

"And If I don't?" I asked

"Then I'll make fun of you for It," Garble said with a smirk.

"Really?" I deadpanned at him.

"What? I don't care If you win or lose It doesn't matter to me but I need some sort of entertainment." Garble said

"Yeah well enjoy the show then," I said as I walked towards Viserion.

"I think I will," He said as Ember walked up to us.

"Good luck and like Garble said It doesn't matter If you win or lose," Ember said reassuringly as Garble rolled his eyes.

"Oh thanks, Emb-"

"But I also will be poking fun at you If you do lose," She cheekily added surprising me and Garble.

"Wha-"

"Told you I get you back somehow and what better way than If you lose," Ember said as Garble started grinning.

"You know I'm surprised, but I'd be lying If I said that It's not a welcome one," Garble said causing me to sigh.

"Fair enough I suppose." I said

"Ahh come on you know we're just messing with y-"

"What Is taking you so long! HURRY UP!" Viserion called out

"WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!" Garble yelled back as he sighed harshly.

"I think we wasted enough of your time Falkor, you better go In there and get this settled before I take over for you." Garble said annoyed

"Alright then wish me luck," I said making my way over towards Viserion as I started to notice the number of dragons here who also seemed to have just molted recently and had also come to see the rematch I felt Viserion told them about.

As I made my way closer to him It was almost like I could feel the eyes of the dragons watching me as they made space for me to enter Into the makeshift ring they made of themselves before closing It back up but thankfully not before the others were able to get through as I saw them make their way to the front.

"Glad to see you here Falkor," Viserion said as I focused on him.

"Yeah since apparently, you wanted a rematch with me so badly for some reason," I told him causing some of the other dragons to giggle at him only for him to smirk In response.

"You know Falkor I'll give you a chance to give up right now, If you don't want to get beat up TOO hard this time," He said trying to appear cocky only now I could tell he was putting up a front now.

"Ok." I said shrugging
.
.
.
.
.
.
"What?" He asked In disbelief.

"Look I'm not going to lie last time I got lucky and I'm pretty sure that If I try to fight you this time I'm going to lose so yeah I don't want to get beaten up this time so I give up, see ya," I said with a grin as I turned around and started to make my way back to the others.

As I saw Garble and Ember grinning at me I started to shake my head at the relentless teasing I was about to receive before I started to hear footsteps getting closer to me causing me to turn around to see Viserion about to punch me In the face as I step to the side as quickly I could only barely dodging his surprise attack.

"Are you fucking kidding me, seriously? What's the reason now? I didn't have enough pride to follow through on your insults?" I asked pissed off.

"Nah, I just wanted to fight you again and I didn't expect you to just give up like that, what dragon passes on the opportunity to fight?" He asked out loud.

"Me," I said through gritted teeth as he rolled his eyes.

"Well that's pretty obvious, but fortunately for you I don't." He said grinning

"How Is that In any way fortunate for me!?" I asked annoyed

"Oh you'll see," He said before using his wings to fly at me as his feet leave the ground before trying to swipe at my face with his claws as I dive to the floor barely getting out of the way.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO FUCKING CLAW MY EYES OUT!?" I yelled slightly worried.

"Well I was thinking we kick things up a bit this time, so I figured why not use everything to our abilities which means claws and flying are allowed," He said as he decided to run at me instead of flying this time.

He then tries to punch me with his right hand to which I use my left to catch It as I then try uppercutting him with my right only for him to barely dodge It as I let go of his hand In hopes of trying to land a lucky hit with my left only for him to dodge again by quickly backing up out of the way.

"Good thing I remembered that from last time we fought because you ain't getting me with that this time." He said grinning

"Oh, my Fucking- are you just obsessed with me or something!?" I asked a bit freaked out that he remembered something I did from our one fight three years ago.

"I wouldn't say obsessed more like just keeping track of the one dragon who makes fights fun for me," He said as he began flying into the air.

"Now come on! I didn't say flying was allowed just for you not to do It!" He called out as he proceeded to go higher almost near the clouds but still a good distance away from them causing me to sigh to myself.

"God fucking dammit, " I said to myself as I proceed to use my wings to join him while he waits for me hovering In the air with his arms crossed as I start to hear the other dragons begin to cheer down below.

"Alright, I'm here ar- OH SHIT!" I call out In alarm as he suddenly charges at me trying to swipe at me with his claws which I dodge by flying to the right as I see him narrowly fly past me before he stops himself and turns around mid-flight before charging at me again nicking the side of my cheek causing me to hiss In pain.

"Mtherfcker!" I grit out as I bring a hand up to the decent size cut he made to my cheek.

"What's the hold-up Falkor? This Isn't the same dragon who made the fight fun for me when we fought the first time," He calls out to me which just pisses me off.

"I told you I got lucky," I said gritting my teeth.

"And I'm telling you that's just STUPID!" He yells charging at me and trying to cut me with the claws on his left hand again as I catch It with my right only for him to grab my throat with his right hand as he starts pushing me back down towards the ground pretty quickly.

"Come on Falkor, where Is the drake I fought before!?" He questioned as I felt him slowly put more and more pressure on my throat making it harder to breathe but for some reason Instead of feeling scared I'm starting to enjoy myself now while my life Is being threatened In this 'fight'.

With this new foreign feeling In me, I feel a grin start to spread across my face as I grab him by the throat with my left arm shocking him and giving me enough time as I use every bit of strength I have to switch places with him just In time for the ground to meet us head-on as the impact of the crash knocks me off a bit away from him as I start coughing from oxygen entering my lungs again.

Looking over my eyes widen In disbelief as I see Viserion slowly get up from the small crater he was In while his legs are shaking before he turns to me with a smile on his face like he's having the time of his life.

"SEE! This Is what I mean! I haven't felt this alive In YEARS! And I was right that only you could make me feel like this!" He said ecstatic

"And the best part? I saw you enjoying yourself as well, now you can't possibly tell me that you aren't having the time of your life," He said as I slowly got up still feeling excited for some reason.

"Fine, I guess this Is fun you happy now?" I asked him as I charge at him grinning the whole way while I see him start to grin back before I punch him In the face sending him stumbling backwards a couple of steps before he stops himself and grins wiping some blood from his nose.

"I am now!" He said sounding excited as he comes running back which only seems to fuel my excitement as well from our 'fight' continuing as I try to throw another punch at him only for him to slap It away with his right arm while punching me In the face with his left arm causing my head to snap a bit towards the right as I retaliate by punching him In the face as well with my left arm as well.

We both bring our heads back to face each other as he tries punching me again In the face which I block with the back of my right hand before punching him with the same hand as I pull my left arm back a bit to punch him In the gut as he tries to throw an uppercut only for him to miss completely allowing me to pull my right arm back before crouching and punching him full force In the gut.

Somehow still standing he doesn't waste time punching me In the right side of my face after the gut punch with his left arm catching me off guard and causing me to stumble back a bit seeing him with a full-blown smile on his face as he throws another punch at my face sending me down to the ground causing me to land on my side doing my best to ignore the slight ringing I'm starting to hear.

"Now THAT Is what I call a fight! Who else agrees with me?" He asked out loud causing the crowd to cheer as I tried to force myself to get up.

"How's the fight going?" Aesthyr asked

[Never better.] I told her

"Are you winning?" She asked

[If this works,] I told her as I heard Viserion saying something to Garble before I slowly but surely got up and started charging at Viserion with the last bit of energy I had left before I saw him begin to turn around at the same time I jumped as high as I could In the air pulling back my right hand as far as I could before punching him hard In the face sending both of us to the floor with me landing on my back and him on his sid as we both laid there groaning In pain.

"W*cough*ow, never thought you would steal one of my moves before, but that's one way to win," He said somehow still grinning.

"Yield*pant*for the love of Maker yield," I pleaded not wanting to deal with him anymore.

"Yeah ok, I YIELD!" He yelled out as I could hear footsteps rushing near us.

"Falkor are you ok!?" Ember asked sounding concerned as she and Garble put my arms around their necks slowly lifting me from up off the ground.

"Ahh he'll be fine he's a dragon after all,but seriously how do you feel?" Garble asked also concerned causing me to chuckle.

"I feel like I just got my ass beat by another dragon, oh wait, that's exactly what happened," I said causing Garble to awkwardly chuckle.

"Fair enough, but hey you still won, not to mention you won again against Vis what's his name." He pointed out

"Yeah I guess you're right, and I guess I don't mind that It felt fun as well," I said to him as they helped me pass through the crowds before I took a look behind me to see Viserion still smiling up at the sky despite what happened earlier.

And for some reason, I felt myself smiling along with him as I felt the same feeling of satisfaction as I felt three years ago.

"Remember what you felt today because that Is what It means to be a dragon."

"And I bet It felt satisfying didn't It."

"Heh, guess It did Vis, I guess It did."
