As Spike and I flew back up to the others and landed I lowered myself down allowing Spike to get off before I stood back up as he looked back at me with gratitude now after our conversation.

"So did you two discuss everything you needed to?" Twilight asked as she and the other two got closer.

"Yep, got everything out In the open, cleared up some things, and came to some agreements," I said as Twilight slightly narrowed her eyes.

"What kind of agreements?" She asked sounding somewhat suspicious but mostly curious.

'Well at least she actually seems to care about him then,' I thought to myself as I shook my head.

"Not my business to share, only If Spike wants to, and that doesn't mean trying to force It out of him by any means either," I clarified feeling like Rarity would try something If she was curious enough about something.

"We would never do that to Spike!" Rarity said gasping In slight shock.

"Well I don't know that do I, after all, I barely know any of you ponies so for all I know you could be taking advantage of Spike here," I said as they all looked offended by my comment.

"Now lis-"

"Guys! Can we not do this please!" Spike said raising his voice cutting off Rainbow at the same time causing her to huff and look away as he looked up at Twilight.

"Nothing bad happened Twilight don't worry, I just asked Falkor to help me with something and he agreed," Spike explained as Twilight looked confused.

"But If you needed help with something why didn't you come ask me?" She asked causing Spike to stutter.

"W-Well-"

"It was something dragon-related, that's why he came to me for help instead of you," I said cutting In for Spike as he gave me a thankful glance.

"Ooooh really? Can I join and watch so I can take some notes, anything dragon related would be very helpful for Spike, plus, If I can get some personal notes for myself well then that'll just be a bonus," She said excitedly forgoing all suspicion as Spike looked on In exasperation.

"Well It's something private and anyways I can't do It right now as the others and I need to..... actually give me a minute," I said as I walked over to Ember and the others who were busy talking to themselves until Ember spotted me.

"Hey Falkor, finally done with Spike and them?" Ember asked

"Almost, I wanted to ask everydragon here something," I said getting their attention, "I was wondering that since Spike and the others seem to be leaving soon I was wondering If everydragon here was ok with joining them?" I asked as they all looked at each other frowning for a second until Garble looked my way.

"Why do you want to go with them though? We could just go ourselves," He pointed out as I paused to think of my response.

"We could but why not go with the same creatures that they trust? That way we can try and get a more urgent meeting with them at the same time," I said as they all deadpanned at me.

"You just want to travel with them because they're the characters from your 'story' or whatever," Smolder pointed out as I spluttered.

"Wh-Whaaaaaat, no I-"

"Falkor, tell the truth," Ember demanded calmly as I gave up on an excuse sighing.

"Ok, It does kinda have to do with something like that, but, I swear that's not just why I want to do that," I said as they all patiently waited for my reason.

"The other reason I wanted to go with them Is because Spike wants me to teach him how to fight," I explained causing their eyes to widen In surprise.

"Woah, really? The little guy wants to know how to fight?" Garble asked as he looked over at Spike and the ponies talking about their own thing with some newfound respect.

"Well If he wants to know how to protect himself who are we to deny him that, though, why not teach him here? He even wanted to stay here longer and defended you when you were asleep because the ponies didn't want him to," Ember explained causing my eyes to widen In shock.

"Wait really!?" I asked surprised as Ember nodded her head.

"Sure did, the little guy got pretty passionate too when they started Insulting you," Garble said as I felt grateful.

"Well I'll have to thank him later for that, but anyways another reason why I want to go Is because before I woke up Aesthyr and I had a little chat with each other before she asked me when we were going to see Luna and I figured since we have multiple things we need to do why not do them where Its easier In one place." I explained

"So If I'm understanding correctly you're planning to 1) Talk to Luna and Celestia about what we know, 2) Talk to Luna, especially about her old friend In the ring, and 3) teach Spike how to fight as well since he'll also be going back with the other ponies as well?" Ember asked to which I nodded.

"Not only will It be easier to do things over In their territory but they might have other things that we can use rather than the limited supplies we have over here," I said hinting at needing more than what we have available to us for upcoming events.

"Well the-"

"Ughhhhh, blab blab blab, talk talk talk, I think we all know we're already going with Falkor no matter what so can we just get this show on the road and do what we need to do," Smolder said sounding done with our conversation.

"You zip It! Obviously, we're all going with him but we still have two things we need to take care of, like my Dad and how we're going to get there." Ember said pointedly

"Oh, my bad," Smolder said looking away sheepishly as Ember took a deep breath.

"Well I guess we'll have to hope for the best for your dad though as to how we're going to go there I may have an idea for that, for now though, give me a minute to tell them first," I said as I made my way over to Spike and the others accidentally interrupting whatever conversation they were having.

"Oh hey Falkor, have you talked about whatever you needed to with your friends?" Twilight asked

"Yep, I was actually wondering If we could go with you guys since we have some business we also need to take care of past the Dragon Lands," I explained causing their eyes to widen as Rainbows narrowed In suspicion.

"What kind of business?" She asked as I faced her with a straight face.

"Private business that doesn't concern you," I said causing her to scoff but otherwise turn away.

"Well I guess you ca-"

"But what about our agreement?" Spike questioned upset as I smiled and kneeled.

"Don't worry I didn't forget about that, I have a feeling that where we need to go Isn't too far from where you're going," I said reassuring him as he looked upset but still seemed to understand.

"I hope you're right, there's still other dragon stuff I want to learn," Spike said which caused me to remember something.

"Actually before we leave I need to talk to Dragon Lord Torch so, would you like to come with me too, you know?" I asked causing his eyes to widen In surprise before seeming to go deep In thought.

"Not, not now no, don't get me wrong I still want to know but," He paused looking down at his tiny claws, "It feels like somethings telling me I need more time," He explained as I nodded.

"Ok, take your time then," I said standing up and ignoring a confused Twilight as I made my way back over to Ember.

"Ready?" I asked

"Nope, but let's just hope he makes this easier for all of us," She said sighing before we both popped open our wings and started making our way up.

"Garble you and Smolder take the others outside near Dragon Lord Torch's cave to wait for us while we talk with him," I instructed him as he nodded allowing us to go.

"Here comes the hard part now," I said out loud hoping that we would be able to convince easily though knowing how life works I sincerely doubted It.

"Ok, Torch said causing both of us to look on at him In shock.

"Wait really!? Just like that." Ember asked shocked

"Yes, consider this a lesson for If you become Dragon Lord to get familiar with their land for the first time, and even If you don't, I see no reason to keep you here when there are other things you could better use your time for," Torch explained further surprising both of us as he raised an eyebrow at us.

"What? Did you think I would forbid you from going anywhere?" He asked as Ember and I looked away embarrassed.

"Uh*cough* kinda," Ember admitted as Torch rolled his eyes.

"I don't see why, I'm not a tyrant, and besides you are your own dragon now, I doubt you need your Father's guidance on how to explore and defend yourself If needed," Torch said as Ember flew up and hugged.

"Thanks, Dad, seriously," She said sincerely as he gently put a hand on her back.

"No need to thank what you could've done with your own two claws," He said before she backed up out of her grip and landed near me before we left and met up with everyone else waiting.

"All done?" Garble asked as I nodded.

"Good, now how are we getting to where we need to go?" He asked as I turned towards Twilight and Spike.

"Uh so this may be weird to ask but do any of you have a way to quickly contact Celestia?" I asked

"Oh actually we do, but why do you need It?" She asked

"It's a long story and It probably wouldn't make any sense until the pony I need gets here to explain," I said hoping for the best.

"I don't know Twilight, that kinda sounds sketchy to me," Rainbow said making her suspicions clear causing Twilight to frown.

"That does kinda sound weird Falkor what exactly do you need with Princess Celestia?" She asked

"Well, It's not exactly Princess Celestia I need to speak with," I admitted as she and the others looked confused.

"Then who do you need to talk to?" Spike asked

"Princess Luna, I found something that belongs to her so I figured If one of you could somehow contact her then we could hand It over while she gives us a ride over to where we need to go," I explained as Twilight gasped with excitement.

"You found something of importance that belonged to one of the Princesses!?" She said excitedly as I tried to come up with a response.

"Uhhh, yesssss?" I said as she looked like she was about to explore until Spike tapped her in the leg.

"Twilight, focus," Spike simply said as Twilight took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Sorry about that, It's just you somehow managed to find something of importance that belonged to a Princess lost to time before she suddenly appeared again, It's very exciting to think of what It could contain," She explained before focusing.

"Though as excited as I am I also know this Is indeed important so I can see why you asked, Spike, take a letter," She said as Spike seemed to pull a paper and quill out of nowhere getting flabbergasted looks from me and the others as he looked smug before focusing back on Twilight.

"Dear Princess Celestia, my friends and I had followed Spike to the Dragon Lands to assist him In whatever he needed help with though on our journey we encountered a dragon who-"

"Oh sorry to interrupt but can you add that the ring belonged to a dragon named Aesthyr please?" I asked as she nodded before continuing.

"-found a ring that used to belong to Aesthyr that was also Princess Luna's and was hoping you could pass this message to her so that way she could come and confirm It for herself, Your student Twilight Sparkle," She finished as she gave the go-ahead for Spike causing him to bring the rolled up scroll to his snout before blowing fire on It burning It away Into a purplish wisp that drifted away.

"Now we wait," Spike said as we all stood or sat depending on certain individuals waiting for Luna as I brought my ring up.

[Hear that Aesthyr, It's almost time.] I tell her

"Yes It Is, thank you Falkor truly, for everything you've done for me," She said sounding thankful.

[You're welcome, and who knows maybe you'll be able to get to chat with each other from now on,] I said as I heard her 'hmm' In response.

"I guess you are right, that certainly would be nice to catch up with her and share ideas as we used to," She said as I heard a little blip appear In front of us revealing a six-foot-ten dark purple alicorn who radiated power that I could feel just from being near her as I gave an involuntary shudder.

"Alrighty then, showtime," I said to myself hoping this conversation would go well.

Author's Note

Sorry for the lackluster chapter guys, but 8 figured It was better to give you something rather then make you wait longer than usual again.

Though If you were still somehow able to enjoy this them I would like to hear what you thought about It or If there was something you didn't like then also tell me so I can use It to improve on.

Oh also, since I almost forgot since Its been three chapters I will now be switching back over to my changeling story for a bit.

Other then that see ya!
