“Knock, Knock time to wake up master Andris.” One of the many maids living in canterlot castle came barging in “ugh really what time is it?” groaned a figure hiding under the covers “I still have a hangover from last night the guy had my up all night in their drinkin game by the way still the champ, can't I sleep for a little longer?” the maid chuckles “sorry andris but Princess Celestia need your assistants down in the throne room” “ugh fine give me a sec I need to get decent then.” sighed the young dragon, “when are you ever decent master Andris?” chucked the maid. “Good point, tell her I’ll be right down.”

A quick and grooming later he was down in the throne room wear his regular clothing he walks in and see both princess celestia and Princess Luna talking to someone but wasn't close enough to see exactly who. “What’s up princesses?”

Andris walks up to see that they were actually talking to twilight. Princess Celestia turns “ohh morning andris glad you could join us this morning” shrugging “no problem princess your wish is my command” turning to twilight “morning to you too twilight good to see you again been awhile huh” twilight gives him a half smile “yeah I don’t get to see many of the people here now that I live at ponyville” Andris nods in agreement “yeah but now you got plenty of new friend down there right?” twilight smiles “yeah everyone’s really nice there and I love all them.”

Andris smiles “that’s great glad everyo….” Stops in mid sentence when he realized that both celestia and Luna “ohh” andris hunched down sheepishly

“you were saying princess” twilight utter to try to return order “ah yes thank you Twilight as my faithful student I wanted to check up on your studies so I want you to demonstrate your magical skills on andris here” smirking victoriously, andris start to back away “well I think that’s my cue to head now, in the royal voice luna said “halt you shall be to test dummy if thy wish to stay under our roof” Sighs “ Ah yes your highness as… you wish” turns to twilight “alright twilight give me your best” twilight looked at him nervously “ Don't worry I'll do my best.” “Alright twilight aging spell…good now a gender spells…. Excellent and if I may say you look rather good as a female” andris looks down jumps in shock “gahhh I look like my mother change me back this is to weird… zap whoa glad that’s done with anything else or can I go back to solitude” celestia looks at both of them

“ahh yes one more thing andris since moving to ponyville twilight has excelled in her study and I was think that it would be good for you to stay there for a little while too.” “WHAT… you can't be serious my jobs to stay here and make sure relations between our species are in good shape I can't poss….” The princess stops him “you will still be doing your job simply by living with my subjects you can still do your reports and learn from the library down there” sigh “fine I’ll go but I need to contact The elders first for permission” andris turns around but celestia stops him “andris if you need to talk to Nathaniel you can, you don’t have to make excuses” andris turns makes a tired expression “Ight thanks.”

As Andris leaves the Princesses turned to twilight and excuse her from the room as celestia walks her out she looks to twilight "try to help him out he’s isn't a social butterfly if you know what I mean and that means don't let him drink the whole time understand" twilight looks at her "I understand princess and he's in good hands."

As you see twilight head back to where she was staying the night to an excited spike We take a look at what andris is doing you see him sitting on his desk writing a little in what looks like chicken scratch he gets frustrated balls up the paper and throws it at the wall but not without setting it on fire first “Agh what to say to him I have not reported back in weeks” and like if he was having an argument inside his head “well he was given you any order or words in week so we are kind of even” “I know but I still feel guilty he is my brother and one of the elders” “ why should you feel guilty I bet the less they hear from you the better you know that your only a diplomat so they could get rid of ya.” Looking defeated he jots down a quick note saying he’s moving location and sends it off. “Hmm hope ponyville is better with acceptance then this high class dungeon”. With that he blows out the candles and nodes to sleep.

Looking back to twilight she too was writing a letter but with a more positive smiling thinking how great it will be to have another of the princess’s students joining her finally someone I can study with she think gleeful thinking of all the books shell read with andris but snaps back to the letter she was writing to her friends turns to spike

“Well we have to make sure he get a warm reception don't we” spike looks up from his pillow “yeah ..Yawn.. we sure do I can't wait to show him my new ruby I've been cultivating it’s so awesome” as if in his own little world “only another dragon to understand to awesomeness that it is” “Yeah yeah spike” twilight turns smiling at him “I can't wait to show him all to book in the library and get to meet all my friends” she turns back around it was strange last time I saw him he was a lot more cheerful now he just seem blah like he’s just going through motions” spike turns over “maybe that’s why she sending him with she must think he’s depressed or something” twilight looked a little sad “I guess well can you send this to the other then we will go to sleep” Spike gets up and stretches “alright” he sends it off then crawls into bed “aright twili the letter sent night” twilight changes into a t-shirt and her underwear and follows spikes example “night.” She falls asleep.

Ch. 2 Nathaniel

Ch. 2

In the farthest area of Equestria, north of canterlot, in the dragon kingdom sits a pacing dragon clothed in fine robes alone in his cave lined with richly furniture, jewels and gems. He slams his fist in irritation.

“Great just great that boy just couldn’t stay at the castle and out of the way, the councils going to throw a fit, their going to be like ‘excellent he gets another way to make a fool of himself’ and then they will all look at me and expect me to make a reason on why this is a good thing and I’ll have nothing.” Turning from the desk dramatically. “What am I going to do with him?” Out of the blue he hears the sound of beating wings.

“Why hello little brother.” And thin wiry Dark blue dragon lands gently in the cave. “And how are you today Nathaniel?” Nathaniel turns around to face him nostrils flaring.

“Oh great if things weren’t bad enough captain do nothing shows up.” Still raging and grumbling under his breath and smoke fumes wafting out his nostrils. The older dragon laughs “now what has you in such a foul mood?” Still smirking the older dragon follows Nathan. Nathaniel turns back to the desk and hands him the letter “that’s why william.” In a frustrated voice

“ahh young andris is getting an advancement ehh.” William chuckles. Nathan turns to face the taller sibling. “Can’t you take anything serious?” Turns back to the desk and sits down, William’s face softens and the smirk fades away. “Of course I can but you need to relax this isn’t the end of the world…or your career he knows what he’s doing he’s been doing this for what 10 years now.”

Nathan sighs “yeah you’re right he does good work but that doesn’t mean the council won’t get off my back.”

“Alright Nathan” he looks at Nathaniel with sympathy. “Think of it like this the council despised belorith right?” Nathan turned in shock from him uttering that name and he huffs

“He’s a disgrace to the family name do you have any decency or do you like stressing me even more.” As Nathaniel finished his sentence William raised his fist as to strike him stopping himself softly says “you have some nerve to insult a decorated soldier like him.” Nathan stands up insulted.

“He’s no soldier he didn’t fight and he denoced those medals he so called earned the only thing he was good at…” he looks at William defiantly.

William hovers over him “what saving lives?.. you don’t know him do you or you have known that he hated taking lives or letting he’s own men get injured and the others his whole goal in the war was to make sure that the injured got attention and that as many men as possible survived you have no idea how it was like in that civil war father against son, brother and sister, it was horrid I’m still traumatized,  I couldn’t imagine what he went through you know he went to the most dangerous parts of the war where the possibility of anyone to live was less than zero only a few men made it out of there him being one of them and I took a real man to deny the few lives he did take and for the rewards of saving live of people he only did it because that’s how he is and yes he did drop he’s family name so he won’t get the spot light.” he’s  expression softens laughing a little at a joke belorith once told him.

“It’s hard to get hired as a body guard if your royal they’d wanna protect you instead eh.” A flash back after the war of him and belorith and a few military buddies. a figure about 7 feet tall muscle bound dark blue hide and a red spine raised a mug of whiskey and gulps it down like nothing and smiles “and that would hurt my pay check.” Laughs full hardily “another round for everyone here.”

William snaps back to reality with Nathan stare at him like he’s crazy. “ahh well yeah I’m sorry Will your right I don’t know him like you do I was too young but what I did hear was that he was just like andris.” Chuckles “stupid, reckless, he showed his emotions plain on his face and he always tried to make everyone happy and yes they did hate him they still do they believed him unworthy to be born in the family and that he was a waste of dna I don’t know maybe they are right maybe they’re wrong but I also heard he was a amazing soldier and a go friend I wish he was here.” He sits down resting his chin on his hands and william comes up behind him “yeah me too……… but we could go hang with him if you would take me up on camping he always manages to pull himself away from his new bride to hang with me and andris.” Nathanial turns to see William with a crocked smile.

“WAIT WHAT sine when was belorith married?” William smiles “well you know when he went away to protect that princess of the wolfs?” Nathaniel crooks his head “yeah princess Abatha lady of the fang I did a political meeting with her once he married her, that’s crazy she’s a whole another species the council would never agree with that.” William turned around “your right they didn’t but he did it anyway and they and our father banished him.” Nathan looks down “I had now idea” will walks up to him “no one does they made sure of it they branded him a traitor and he was no longer allowed in this domain frankly he doesn’t care he happy where he is the only thing he misses if us so next time I give you an invitation for camping say yes.” he looks out the cave mouth “ well I need to head out and I’ll see ya later bro night.” with later we walks out and takes off to the sky

“Well fuck I don’t know what to do life’s a cruel one huh?” and with that he climbs in to bed dreading the next day.

Bio: born in a dragon ruled hierarchy and youngest of four brothers and son of the fourth head elder. At the age of 18 he left to become the dragon diplomat for Princess Celestia and assistant he lived at canterlot for quite some time.  He was sent to be the diplomat because he was a very disruptive youth and never took interest in ruling. He’d rather spend his time roaming the fiery pains and smoked Top Mountain and dreamed of seeing more of the world so they put the job upon him to get rid of the boy. Since his father was always busy they never had a real connection and tended to rely on his sword master for fatherly advice then his own father  sadly though the old man was executed for standing against the council and that was when Andris decided to leave and become the diplomat not before gaining a new master Revik who would further his skills in diplomacy and swordsmanship.
