"Wait what!? So you're telling me that the only time I appeared in that story of yours was Just to be some dragon who mainly picked on a pony-raised drake?" Garble asked Incredulously

"Yep pretty much." I said

It had been a few days since my fight with Viserion and we'd just been spending those days talking and hanging out so that way we could take a break from everything for a little while.

Then Garble had the idea that since I've seen this world before I should tell them everything I know so that way If anything important were to happen we would have time to prepare for It, also he wanted to know what the future was like for certain people, him included.

Which leads us to where we currently are now.

"Well that Garble sounds like a Tiamash," Garble said crossing his arms looking upset.

He then turned to me as his look softened and gave me a small smile.

"Glad you're here so I don't become like, that," He said still sounding slightly upset at the end as his smile turned into a small frown.

"No problem Garble, happy to be here for you." I said sincerely

"So what about me? What did your story tell you about me?" Ember asked curious

"Actually you know what, that IS a good question," Garble said turning to me.

"What DID your story tell you about the daughter of the Dragon Lord?" Garble asked as they looked at me curious.

"Well, do I have a story for you," I said grinning before slightly frowning.

"Do you remember the dragon egg that those ponies came to pick up?" I asked

"Uhh yeah, the purple one right?" Garble asked as I nodded my head. "What about It?" He asked confused

"Well In the story I told you about that egg was the pony-raised dragon that story you bullied," I clarified for him as their eyes widened.

"Ohhh, so THAT'S why you were so fixated on the egg before, It's because you knew that drake from your story." Ember deduced

"Yeah, and I also know that the pony the egg Is going to Is Princess Celestia, the pony princess herself," I explained causing them to pause In shock.

"Well, I guess that's one pony to be raised by." Ember said

"Well actually," I start to say as both of them focus their attention back on me, "He isn't exactly raised by her." I explained

"What do you mean?" Garble asked as Smolder tilted her head mimicking him from the floor.

"Now what I'm going to tell you Is going to probably make you upset so I need you to keep calm, ok?" I explained

"Falkor, what happens to the egg?" Garble questioned

"Well from what I know from the story nothing for a good while until a pony named Twilight Sparkle one day came In to take a certain test that involved using their magic to hatch the egg." I explained

"So what? The egg just sat locked away somewhere until one day a different pony came, got lucky, and managed to hatch the egg?" Garble questioned looking slightly upset.

"Pretty much yeah," I said not knowing what else to say.

"What a load of Aithyas." He said

"He does live a fairly pretty good life from what I've seen but, there are times when he seemed to look lonely and out of place from what I could see," I told them causing Garble to snort out some smoke from his nostrils.

"Of course he would, being raised In a world where It feels like YOUR intruding would probably do that to you," Garble said sympathetically.

"As much as I am concerned for the drake what does this have to do with me?" Ember asked

"Oh y-yeah sorry about that got sidetracked," I said as I clear my throat.

"Well basically this pony-raised drake one day receives a call from Dragon Lord Torch and once he arrives It turns out to be revealed that Torch Is retiring his position as Dragon Lord," I explained as I see their eyes widen In shock again.

"I mean I know that one day he's gonna give up the position but It's still crazy to think about that It's not that far away from happening," Garble said before seeming to realize something.

"Wait did your story tell you who became the Dragon Lord?" Garble questioned causing Ember to widen her eyes realizing his question.

"Uh yeah after dealing with a bit of stuff Ember and the- oh wait I just realized I never told you guys that the hatchling's name Is Spike." I told them

"Spike huh? I like It," Garble said nodding In respect.

"Anyways back to what I was saying basically Spike and Story Ember work together to reach the Bloodstone scepter until Story Garble comes In and fights both of them for It until Ember holds Garble down long enough for Spike to grab the scepter thus making him the new Dragon Lord." I explained

"So Spike wins? That's definitely not what I was expecting." Garble admitted

"Well as long as he figures out what he's doing the-"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he ends up giving the position to Ember," I said cutting her off as they both pause for a second to register what I just said.

"WAIT WHAT!?"
"WAIT WHAT!?" They scream out In shock only to pause as Smolder starts grunting In her sleep because of the noise as we all wait In tense silence until she stops and goes back to sleeping peacefully.

"Wait so you're telling me that instead of becoming the DRAGON LORD he instead decides to just hand It over to Ember!?" He questioned

"Yep," I said popping the p.

"Did the story say why he gave the title up to me?" Ember asked

"Well In the story he says that the only reason he participated was to protect his friends from any other dragon becoming the new Dragon Lord and gave the scepter to Ember because he believed she would also do the same thing he wanted anyway." I explained

"Really now, well I guess I can respect that, power means nothing If you don't at least use It to protect the ones you care most about." Garble said

"Are you done telling your friends about your world's version of ours?" Aesthyr asked as I brought the ring near my face signaling to the others that Aesthyr was speaking.

"Well, not rea-"

"Great so since you're done with that I just remembered that If this Sombra pony Is really coming back then you and your friends are going to need something to protect yourselves with," Aesthyr said cutting me off.

"I guess you're right, but we're not exactly In prime fighting condition right now," I said looking down at my somewhat tiny body.

"Well of course you not, not yet at least, just wait a good oh I don't know 30 maybe 40 years and you'll reach that Adult dragon age." Aesthyr said

"Wait I thought I was already somewhat near being a Teen dragon though?" I asked confused

"Well sorta, your In between being a Teen and Young adult as Ponies would call It but you're still nowhere near being an Adult dragon." She explained

" Not to mention that Its going to be a good while before you become an Elder since for that to happen you still gotta grow up until you reach the age where your body starts to grow with you to the point where only mountains would be able to house you."Aesthyr explained

"Now If you're ready we should at least look for my old work area and see what we have to work with when the time comes for you to need something made." She said

"Yeah I guess that's fair," I said as I brought my attention back to the others as I saw them waiting for an explanation.

"Remember how I said Aesthyr said she used to be a Draconic Armorer?" I asked to which they nodded their head.

"Well, she told me that we should start looking for her work area to see If we can find It In case we need something made for us In the future," I explained to them as they thought It over.

"Well I guess It would probably help to have somewhere we could use as our own little private area." Ember said

"I guess we could leave the future questions for later If this Is somewhat important, assuming she isn't lying that Is," Garble said standing up while holding Smolder causing Ember and I to roll our eyes as we proceeded to get up as well.

"Everyone ready?" I asked to which they nodded.

"Alright Aesthyr," I said bringing the ring up near me.

"Lead the way." I said
