Chapter 3

The New Addition

"I know this isn't going to work" No-name sighed, "I'll probably get thrown into the dungeon, or get tortured for an eternity"

"My parents aren't like that" I reassured, "They only throw criminals into the dungeon, or torture them for an eternity"

No-name's mismatched eyes twitched nervously.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Does breaking in and stealing food count as a crime?" No-name asked.

"Just don't tell them" I answered, "I'll say that a dragon broke in and stole the food"

"A.. dragon?" No-name asked, "Isn't the a little... You know... ?"

"Far-fetched?" I replied.

"Far-fetched..." a goofy grin spread across his face, "I like it! It's just so... Far-fetched"

"Yeah come on you mixed-up pony" I grabbed his eagle claw and headed toward the main hall.

"Hey. Can I maybe be named Far-fetched?" No-name asked, "I just like the sound of it. And I think it would match my personality"

"You'll have to ask my dad" I replied.

"And if I can't be named that, can I be named something cool? Like Shadow? Or Zeus? Or Apollo the Second? Oh! Oh! I know!"

I tuned No-name's talking out. Sure he seemed like a nice pony.. Er.. Draconequues, but he sure did like talking, especially if it was about something crazy. We came out into the hall, which was strangely quiet.

"Where is everypony?" I asked.

"Who knows" No-name answered, "Probably getting breakfast. Which reminds me, can we get something to eat?"

"First, you have to meet my parents" I said.

No-name sighed a very annoyed sigh.

"Don't worry" I said, "It won't take long"

Unfortunately, I wasn't looking where I was going, and literally bumped into king Apollo.

"Good morning Tia" Apollo greeted with a smile, but his smile dropped when he saw No-name.

"Uh.. Daddy, meet No-name, No-name meet king Apollo" I said.

"Who... Who are you?" Apollo asked.

"Didn't she just say?" No-name replied, "I'm No-name!"

"No.. I meant, what are you?"

"I think I'm a draconequues. Or at least that's what some ponies call me"

"A draconequues... How old are you? Do you know any magic? Do you have a family?"

"I guess I'm five years old" No-name answered, "Yes. I know a little, and no, I don't, and probably never will"

A grin spread across Apollo's face. Both me and No-name exchanged looks of uncertainty.

"I disagree" Apollo said.

"Wait" I butted in, "You mean.. You'll take No-name in?"

"Why not?" Apollo asked, "He has no family. I don't see a problem in taking him in"

"Oh boy!" I cheered and hugged No-name, "Thanks daddy! You're the best!"

"But you'll also have to check with your mother" Apollo said grimly.

Uh oh I thought, Here comes the real challenge.


If there's anything my mother can't stand, it's strange creature. And No-name would definitely be considered strange in my mother's eyes. We trotted into my mother's bedroom, where she was resting after lowering the moon.

My mother was laying on the bed, she looked up at us and gave a yawn.

"Good morning Apollo, Tia and..." Artemis paused when she saw No-name.

"Artemis, this is No-name the draconequues" Apollo said as he rubbed No-name's head.

Artemis just stared with her mouth open.

"Mommy?" I asked.

"Get that abomination out of here this instant!" Artemis suddenly yelled.

"Whoa whoa whoa" Apollo said as he trotted over to Artemis, "He's not going to hurt anypony!"

"I don't care!" Artemis shouted, "I want him out! Out out out out!"

"You haven't even met him yet" Apollo said with slight annoyance in his voice, "No-name? Come meet Queen Artemis"

No-name walked over to Artemis and hopped on the bed.

"Hi! I'm No-name!" No-name greeted as he held out his lion paw, waiting for a hoove shake.

"Seriously Apollo!" Artemis groaned, "Of all the ponies you could of picked off the street, you chose a draconequues?"

"Artemis, he's young" Apollo replied, "He doesn't know who he truly is, which means we can raise him to spread harmony instead of chaos"

Wait a minute. Harmony and chaos? What was my dad talking about? Something about No-name? I hated it when my parents started talking about stuff and I had no idea what they were talking about.

"I don't care if he spreads chocolate covered grape lollipops!" Artemis yelled, "If you think I'm going to let that... Thing, stay here, you must be insane!"

No-name cringed when she said "That thing", probably because he didn't appreciate being called something like that.

Apollo started grinning slyly.

"You know..." he started, "I think Celestia wants him to stay..."

I nodded my head at Apollo's statement.

"If you kick him out now, she'll never forgive you. And probably never talk to you again"

Artemis glared at Apollo.

"Fine!" she yelled, "Let him stay! But don't come crying to me when the whole land of Equestria is plunged into total chaos!"

With that, the queen of the night stormed out of the room, still complaining under her breath.

"What was she talking about?" I asked.

"Nothing important" Apollo answered, "But anyway, welcome to the family No-name"

Apollo bent down and gave No-name a hug.

"Yeah.. Ok..." No-name said, "I'm all fine with the hug thing, but can we get some breakfast? I'm starving"

"But of course" Apollo replied, "Follow me"

Apollo trotted out of the room, and into the upstairs hall.

"Can you believe my mother actually agreed to let you stay?" I asked No-name.

"Not really" No-name replied, "I hope we have some chocolate milk at breakfast"
