"No." I said confidently as she looked at me surprised before smiling down at me looking somewhat impressed.

"Well, I guess like always you seem to be right when it comes to strength Aesthyr." Luna said holding up the ring which caused me to be confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Well, Aesthyr had told me that while you were a good fighter it didn't mean that you enjoyed constantly fighting, which, to me, sounded ridiculous." Luna answered honestly.

"Why would that be ridiculous?" I asked a little offended.

"Oh, well it's nothing against you but almost every time I came to the Dragon Lands to meet up with her I would always have dragons left and right trying to challenge me to a fight simply to pass the time, prove something idiotic, or simply because I was 'easy prey." She explained

"Yep sounds accurate." I admitted as she chuckled.

"Exactly, so imagine my surprise when my old friend who I hadn't seen in over 1000 years told me that there was a dragon who, like her, only fought when it was necessary." She said

"Not once in my life, except for Aesthyr, have I ever heard of a dragon that would pass up the chance to try and fight." She said intrigued.

"I am glad that she was right about you though, because I will admit if she wasn't, then I wouldn't have held back on you as I would've ended the fight quickly to make you focus on the more important part." She said bluntly which made me shiver in fear instinctively.

"O-Oh, ok, well, what exactly would have been the important part you would've wanted me to know?" I asked slightly intimidated as she suddenly looked serious.

"That if you are to fight, you fight only to protect yourself and to protect the ones who can't, if you are doing neither then you're not fighting, you are just causing unnecessary pain." She said seriously before going back to a more calm look as we all took her message to heart.

"Though thankfully, it seems you didn't need me to tell you that since you've clearly known this for this a while, and so young too, that's commendable for a dragon." She said sounding impressed before rolling her eyes and focusing on the ring again.

"Yes Ace, I know I didn't forget, you were one for results instead of useless talk like me after all." She said amused before focusing back on me.

"Now that that's out of the way, tell me, Falkor of the Dragon Lands, Is there anything you would like? Within reason of course." She said causing me to look back at the others as they all nodded confirming we were still doing this.

'Well, guess it's now or never.' I thought to myself as I looked back up at her.

"Me and my group would like you to teleport us back with you so we can have a private audience with you and Princess Celestia." I said causing her and the other pony's eyes to widen in shock.

"An, interesting request, certainly not one I was expecting from a dragon though I can't exactly say you're an ordinary dragon after all." She said sarcastically.

"Though I am curious, what is so important that you feel the need to converse privately with me and my sister?" She asked as I gestured for her to come closer which she did as I got close to her ear.

"It's about Sombra." I whispered to her causing her to tear harder head away as she looked at me in shock before her face hardened.

"I see, then tis-Is truly important, let us not waste any more time then." She said as her horn began to light up before she paused and looked towards the ponies.

"I will be teleporting back to Canterlot with these four, will you be joining us?" She asked causing Rarity to gasp loudly.

"A trip to Canterlot!? As if I would say no to that!" She said sounding ecstatic causing everyone else(except Spike) to roll their eyes at her.

"I think we'll join you, Princess, we can always reach Ponyville on our own when we do." Twilight said as Luna nodded in response.

"Alright then, in that case now everycreature come closer while I focus." She said causing everyone to walk closer before she began charging up her horn as it continued growing brighter and brighter.

'Wait a minute I just realized I'm going to Canterlot, WAIT A MINUTE HOLY SHIT ARE WE GOING T-'

*Blip*

"Ughhhhh, I'm really starting to hate this." Garble said groaning as I went over towards Ember.

"Hey, you doing alright?" I asked concerned as she held her stomach.

"Y-Yeah I think I'm fine this time, *hurgh*, just gotta ride it out." She said trying her best to hold it in while I took a quick look around in the meantime.

'Holy shit, I'm, I'm really here In the actual castle.' I thought to myself In awe as I looked around the hallway we appeared in enjoying the familiar yet somewhat now foreign soft feeling the decorated carpet provided my feet.

'And here they are.' I thought to myself as I observed the filled-in and unfilled windows.

'So far it seems like we are here early thankfully since only Discord's defeat and the Elements re-emerging are the only events that have appeared so far on the windows.' I observed to myself.

"Is everycreature ok?" Luna asked as everyone responded in the positive before she nodded in response.

"Guards, once I and the dragons enter make sure nopony else disturbs us." She told them as they simply nodded.

"Twilight, you and your friends are welcome to stay in the castle until we are done." Luna told her.

"Princess Luna, if I may, what did Falkor tell you that's so important?" Twilight asked slightly concerned.

"Something that I hope nopony will have to deal with again." She simply said before walking towards the throne room doors causing us to follow before pushing them open.

Upon entering the throne room I couldn't help but feel somewhat threatened while simultaneously at ease before I set my eyes on this world's Celestia as, just like Luna, is exactly how she looked like on the show complete with her flowing multi-colored hair.

She also seemed to be wearing her tiara behind her longer than average horn as she seemed to wear some gold-plated horseshoes that seemed to reach to the front of her ankles, and what looked to be two gold-plated vambraces that almost covered her entire arm while leaving some room left for her fur to breathe.

"SISTER!" Luna called out attracting Celestia's attention as she seemed to sigh in exasperation while a random rich-looking unicorn quickly made his way out of the room.

"Welcome back from your trip Luna, you came back just as I finished the Day Courts requests for now so we should have plenty of time to catch up." She said calmly standing up from her throne as she gracefully flew over to us making expert use of her wings.

"And who are these young dragons accompanying you?" She asked standing slightly taller than Luna now that she was closer before Luna looked back at us.

"Which of your companions know Falkor?" She asked

"They all do." I answered causing her eyes to widen in surprise before quickly recovering and nodding as she turned back to Celestia before whispering something In her ear causing her eyes to widen in shock before her face hardened into a more serious expression.

"I see, we shall continue this conversation in my room where we'll have some privacy." She said suddenly turning as she headed for her room behind the throne causing us and Luna to follow.

"So, are you going to tell them everything?" Smolder asked whispering.

"I have no choice but to tell them if they're going to believe anything we tell them." I said whispering back.

"Alright, well let's hope this goes well then." Ember said slightly worried.

"Well If anything we can just break through the wall if things get too hectic." Garble said grinning as everyone gave him a warning glare.

"Obviously I'm joking. Garble said causing us to roll our eyes as we passed by the curtain and entered what I assumed to be Celestia's room since everything was heavily focused on sun decorations.

After shortly entering, Celestia's horn began to glow before three dome-like objects expanded, growing to cover the entire room.

"There, that should give us enough privacy to discuss things." She said before teleporting in a decent-sized round table for her size while being humongous for us alongside enough chairs for everyone.

"Please, sit, I'd rather have some sort of comfort while we do." She said as we accepted her gesture and sat.

"How does this feel weirder than sitting on the ground from the Dragon Lands?" Garble questioned as he constantly shifted in his seat attracting amused looks from Celestia and Luna.

"Well as much as I would try to offer you some comfort, I believe If what Luna said was true then you have information about Sombra." She said getting straight to the point.

"Yes, we do, but before I say anything, I just want to know, when Dragon Lord Torch came to you to request assistance how much did he tell you about why he needed help?" I asked wanting to know how much she knew before I explained everything.

"Ah, well before I answer how much did he tell you?" She asked reversing the question.

"Everything." Ember said causing her to hum in response.

"Really? Well forgive my bluntness but what makes you four so special that he would tell you specifically?" She asked

"Because we four witnessed, an event that led to Falkor asking him about it." Ember explained.

"I see, and what exactly was that event?" She questioned.

"Something we'll get into later, but just know that I, his daughter, asked alongside when Falkor did, which led to him telling us." Ember explained causing both of Luna's and Celestia's eyes to widen in surprise.

"Ah, well I guess that would make you special enough for him to tell you, forgive me then, for questioning you, Princess Ember." Celestia said sincerely causing Ember to look at her confused.

"Uhh, suure, but how about not calling me that ok?" Ember said looking weirded out by that.

"Trust me, you'll get used to it In time." Celestia said sounding amused at Ember's discomfort of the title.

"Though, If he really did tell you then I can confidently say not much admittedly, all I know is that one day he came to me, which was already surprising enough, before practically begging for my help, I, of course, did and asked what was wrong." She explained

"Though, frustratingly, no matter how much I asked he just kept insisting that it was 'dragon business', though as much I wanted to keep pushing, I refrained myself after I took a minute to observe him fully." She continued.

"I've met Torch before, and usually when we meet he always has some sort of presence about him that lets you know how fierce and prideful he is, especially how dangerous." She said respectfully.

"That's not the Torch I saw that day, that Torch not only looked worn and tired, but I could tell whatever he wouldn't tell me was affecting him heavily with how desperate and hopeful he looked whenever he saw me, almost as if something was banking on me." She explained

"Oh, Dad." Ember said softly.

"So I refrained from asking further and focused on doing my best to uncover and get rid of the vile magic that was intertwined within that scepter." She said with venom in her voice before looking regretful.

"Yet, somehow, whatever Sombra did to it proved to be infuriatingly impossible to break, at first, I wanted to try and salvage the bloodstone itself since that was a big part of the Dragon's culture, but after a while, Torch told me to just simply destroy it, which shocked me even more." She said before sighing.

"Unfortunately, I knew he wouldn't bother telling me why so I just focused on trying to destroy it, but then I began experiencing difficulties of my own where no matter what I did it just, would not, break." She said sounding frustrated.

"Countless attempts at attempting to destroy it proved fruitless no matter what, I had no choice but to tell him how I had failed to destroy it, how I failed to give him proof that his hopes weren't misplaced." She said regretfully.

"I will never forget when the powerful and respected Dragon Lord Torch looked so broken and resigned after I told him that, then, not shortly after he asked for the scepter back, which I gave, and shortly after, he left." She finished allowing us to take a minute to take in the information given to us.

"The reason we ask is because we know why Torch asked you for your help." I said as Celestia and Luna looked on curious.

"Really? Well if you don't mind explaining then I would appreciate hearing what made him so distraught." Celestia said earnestly.

"It's because Sombra, whatever he did to the scepter twisted it to force innocent hatchlings to have to fight to survive in some other, plane of existence, where a monstrous creature lives as it kills any hatchlings that are unlucky enough to be caught by them." Ember explained as their eyes widened in horror.

"Trust me, as much as I would love to say this is an elaborate trick or joke, it's not." Garble said

"I remember it perfectly, how, afraid I was when I heard the first hatchling to be caught by it screamed out for somedragon to help it, how afraid I was when Falkor grabbed me and pulled me onwards while we heard hatchlings all around us dying, how afraid I was when I almost died." Garble explained before looking over at me.

"If it wasn't for Falkor here then I truly would've died that day." Garble said as Smolder placed her hand over his looking worried.

"Even after all this time that vile monster, somehow manages to affect innocents even when he is gone from this realm." Luna said angrily as Celestia looked distraught.

"I now see why he seemed at his lowest that day, and to think he would lower himself to seek me for help only to find that his last chance was for nothing." She said before sighing.

"As much as it pains me to admit there is nothing else that can be done sadly, nothing in my power ever since I destroyed any trace of his work long ago." She said annoyed.

"Well, that's actually what I wanted to discuss with you two." I said as they looked confused before I felt a hand on top of mine.

Looking back I see Ember who has a determined look on her face as she gives me a nod which causes me to take in a deep breath before exhaling.

"Sombra is coming back." I said as it took a few seconds for the statement to register for the sisters until I saw their eyes widen in disbelief and shock.

"Impossible! Me and my sister banished him over a millennium ago!" Luna shouted in anger and disbelief.

"Calm yourself, Luna, If he is coming back then we need to make the proper preparations just in case." Celestia said resting her hand on her shoulder, gently guiding Luna back down in the chair.

"Though, as thankful as I am for your supposed warning I am curious as to how you acquired this information in the first place?" Celestia questioned causing me to sigh.

"Well, I guess this was going to happen sooner or later." I said slightly nervous.

"Remember Falkor, we're here to back you up." Smolder said

"Right, right, ok." I said calming myself before focusing on the sisters again.

"Before I tell you, I wa- actually, you wouldn't happen to have some sort of magic spell that can check if I'm telling the truth or not would you?" I asked before I saw Luna's horn slightly light up leaving a light glow at the tip of her horn as she looked at Celestia grinning.

"And you said we wouldn't ever need this spell again." She said smugly as Celestia rolled her eyes.

"Well excuse me for not expecting this situation." She said sarcastically before they both focused on me as their expressions became serious.

"You are good to speak now." Celestia simply said.

"Alright, before I was a dragon I had lived a past life as a different species where we were called humans." I started with.
.

*DING*

A sigh of relief leaves my mouth as her horn glows green.

"Looks like we're going to be here a while then." I said taking in their shocked faces as I prepare for the onslaught of questions and answers I would have to give.

Author's Note

And here we are once again, I just want to thank you all again for taking the time out of your day to read this absolute filth of a story and don't worry the negativity that I'm conveying is to keep me in check from ever growing an ego, can't be prideful if you make sure it never reaches anywhere near that level am I right?

Other than that, I hoped you enjoyed the chapter and also I'm sorry if how I wrote Celestia seemed like ass to you but I just don't know how to write them, at all.

I'll do my best to improve but again, no promises.
