Twilight POV:

Twilight was just coming back from helping the Mayor handle the sudden panic of the town caused by the storm and was relieved that it was finally over with so she could get back to her studies. That’s when she noticed a strange mist in the center of the road being avoided by ponies as if it wasn’t even there. ‘That’s…peculiar’ she thought as she trotted over to the mist to get a better look ‘Is this some sort of new spell somepony is practicing. No this seems way to advance to be a simple cloak spell.’ When she got closer she started to notice that the image became clearer and instead of mist was now what looked like a blue snake. At first she would have ran off screaming since she had a bad experience with snakes as a filly, when she noticed its breathing was raspy as if in pain. Getting even closer she noticed that the snake’s wings were bending in a weird direction, its left arm looked to be disconnected from its body and was covered in many cuts and bruises now turning a dark purple and a small pool of blood was mixing with the water. ‘What are you or more importantly is it ok?’ she thought when suddenly the creature seemed to talk.

“This is it huh thought of many different scenarios of me dying, but this is kind of sad to die here in this what look like to be a peaceful little village of blood loss of all things” It said out loud.

“Excuse me but are you alright?” She asked ‘It or he I believe seems friendly enough and more importantly in pain I have to help him’ she thought.

“Great now I’m hearing things I’m going to die crazy” he said with a soft chuckle.

‘Well he sounds delusional probably from the blood lose. I better get him to the library and see if there’s a book about helping whatever kind of creature he is’ she thought and reached out with her magic. His body started to glow purple and was lifted gently onto her back. As she started to trot towards the library she felt him start to notice the sudden change and asked “You can see me?” he sound confused “I thought that I was invisible no normal pony should be able to see me unless they are either very perceptive or very strong in magic.”

“Well it helps if you’re special talent is magic” she let out a small laugh and continued “and you really shouldn’t keep talking just save you strength and hold on ok” as she said that started to trot faster feeling his blood starting to slide down her coat.

“Fine, fine, but one more question” he said and sounded as if he was about to pass out “What’s my savior’s name?”

“My name is Twilight Sparkle” she said “What or who are your?” but before she could get an answer he passed out. ‘Looks like I’ll have to ask him later’ thought disappoint, but remembering his life was in her hoofs started to run as fast as she could while holding him still with her magic to prevent him from bouncing to make his injuries worst. As she neared her home she used her magic to slam the door open and closed when she got inside. She immediately grabbed the first aid kit and gentle wrapped him up as best as she could then laid him down on her light red couch. “There that should do for now, but I don’t know if I should give him some medicine it might be dangerous or it could help lessen the pain” she said deep in thought.

“What give *yawn* Twi I was having an awesome dream” said an annoyed Spike slowly walking down the stairs.

“Sorry Spike I was in a bit of a rush I guess” she said with a sheepish smile “since you’re awake I need some help do you know where Exotic Creatures of Equestria is at?”

“I think over there” he pointed to a bookshelf on the opposite side of the room “Why?” he asked.

“Take a look” she said pointed with her hoof now lost in the book she was looking for.

Spike shrugged and decided to look at where she pointed and saw something wrapped in bandages. “Whoa what is it some sort of snake or something?” he asked still looking at him.

“First I believe it’s a he and second I don’t think he’s a snake, yes he shares similar traits of a snake like how it moves and how his body felt, but his feature are more like a dragon like his face, claws and wings” she said still skimming through the book to find what exactly he might be.

“Uh Twi I think he’s trying to say something” said Spike a bit nervous now. Twilight set the book down and trotted over to the couch. He seemed to be repeating the same word, but it was to quiet to hear so she had to lean down near his mouth.

“Wa….ter” he said but now started to hack and cough for a few seconds before calming down. Twilight ran to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water floating right next to her. She gently put the water near his lips. At first nothing happened the glass was just floating in her magic pressed up against his mouth and Twilight was starting to panic, but relaxed when she could hear the sound of him drinking the water a bit too fast and started to cough again.

“Can you hear me it’s me Twilight” she said trying to calm him down “don’t worry I’m going to help you ok just don’t move” and headed back off towards the book. She thought she heard something and asked “Spike did you say something?”

“No Twi it was him again I think he’s asking for more water” said Spike now leaning close towards him.

“Ok be back in a sec” she said and started to walk off towards the kitchen.

“Hold on a sec Twi I think there’s more” Spike said now hovering over the creature his ear inches from its mouth. “Co…con…container? I think he wants a water container” said Spike look confused and asked “Why do you suppose he wants that?”

“I’m not sure…unless” she said now lost in thought then she seemed to brighten up and said “Of course his body shape and the way he looks and how the bit of water gave him some strenght that must be it” and ran off towards the kitchen with sound of pots and pan hitting the ground. Spike even more confused chased after her to only be hit by Twilight running towards the basement. Before he could get back up and dust himself off she came back and knocked him down again only this time brining a wooden barrel only a head taller than him with her towards the sink. Spike tried to get back up again to only see Twilight run back out, but this time rolled out of the way. He was about to celebrate his success only to be hit by the barrel and hit the ground again.

“Oh come on that wasn’t even fair” he said throwing his hands in the air.

“Huh oh sorry Spike” she said lifting Spike up towards her and kissing his forehead causing him to blush slightly.

“Ah stop it Twi I’m fine but what was with all the running” he said trying to push Twilight away.

“Oh that why don’t you take a look” she said pointing at the barrel.

“Uh yeah Twi I remember the barrel” he said dryly while pointing towards his head.

Twilight rolled her eyes and said “No look inside the barrel.” Spike shrugged and hopped on her back to get a better look. He saw the creature at the bottom of the barrel sleeping peacefully.

“So it lives in the water and that’s why it looked like it was dying because it couldn’t breathe?” Spike asked.

“I don’t think it’s that simple, but the water seems to be making him feel better” she said with a curious look in her eye.

“Twi I know that look and you should wait till he’s feeling better” Spike said knowing exactly what she was thinking.

“But think about what we could learn or better yet he could be a new species that would make Equestrian history.” she said bouncing happily up and down causing Spike to jump down. “Oh I better get started on what I already know about him” she said and started to scribble on a piece of paper.

Spike simply sighed and started to head back up stairs. He made it half way and said “Whatever I’m going back to bed don’t stay up to long.”

“Mmm-hmm” she said while looking back and forth between the creature and her notes. Spike just chuckled and got into his bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day:

Twilight was asleep on her desk with a little pool of drool on her desk and was surrounded by different sizes and colors of books. She wanted to sleep for a bit longer, but was interrupted by Spike who was franticly trying to get her up. “Come on Twi wake up we have a problem here” he said now using his claws to force her eyes open to look directly into his.

Twilight groggily woke up and asks “What’s *yawn* the problem no more gems or are you going to be late for that trip you’re going on with Rarity?”

“What?” Spike says confused but snaps out of it “no we have plenty of gem and I’m helping her out later today, but it looks like your friend ran off” he said while pointing towards the barrel surrounded by mist. Twilight immediately woke up and started to take more notes about this strange magic while getting a couple of concerned looks from Spike, Twilight explained to him what was happening and how she first encountered him.

“So he can turn invisible and only certain ponies can seem him is the jist of it right” he said still squinting his eyes at the area where the barrel was/is.

“Yes I believe he’s doing it subconsciously it is quite interesting that he can do high level spells let alone magic to begin with” she said while finishing up her notes and placing them back together in a neat pile on her desk. “I always wanted to try this spell” she said happily and turned towards the barrel. Focusing her magic the outline of the barrel could be seen and it started to slowly reappear.

“That’s amazing Twi” Spike said with a big smile on his face and hops onto the couch to get a look inside the barrel. As he looked down he jumped back in surprised and said “What the… but how did he.” Before he could finish Twilight ran over towards the barrel and had a similar reaction at what she saw. In the barrel was the same creature, but his wings were back to a normal direction, but still looked like they were not ready to fly, his arm was reconnected and good amount of his cuts and bruises were gone. “Twi did you do something last night?” Spike asked with disbelief in his voice.

“No I didn’t do anything unless….” She said now lost in thought again.

“Unless?” Spike asked now looking at her with concern.

“I’m not sure Spike” she said with a determine look she started to head outside.

“Hey Twi where are you going?” Spike asked.

“To Fluttershy she’ll probably have a better idea about what kind of creature it is” she said before closing the door.

Hours later MPoV:

‘Ooooh my aching everything’ I thought as I slowly started to wake up. I slowly opened my eyes to see I was at the bottom of a wooden barrel full of water. ‘I guess they must have got my message last night or was it early morning’ I thought as I carefully got up and checked my body. ‘My wings look at least normal but not ready to fly, my arm is not dislocated anymore, but still a bit sore and the more serious cuts and bruises are gone’ I thought as I swam to the top of the barrel and used my claws to hang on to the top ‘Now let’s see where exactly am I.’ I was in a small library with many rows of bookshelves full of what else books of many shape, sizes and colors in the distance I could make out what I think is a kitchen and some stairs behind me leading off towards a bedroom possibly. There was a wooden desk in the center also stacked with more books and papers. ‘That’s peculiar why would Twilight …Sprinkle no no uhhh Sparkle I think bring me here. Maybe to see if there was any information about me in a book’ I thought but my train of thought was lost when the door slammed open. Before I could react a yellow blur raced over towards me and started to cradle me like a mother would for their foal.

“Oh you poor thing are you alright” said a mare with a gentle voice. I was able to move my head a bit of ways to get a better look at her. She was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane covering her face a bit and on her flank were three butterflies for a cutie mark. Still a bit out of it she kept holding me for a couple of minutes until she must have felt me wince every once and a while and gently puts me down on the couch.

“Now you stay right here and I’ll be right back” she said as she trotted up stairs. ‘Uh what the hell going on and why is she being nice to me’ I thought. She came back with a first aid kit in her mouth and set it down below and started to grab out some bandages. As she reaches for me I instinctively scoot back a bit ‘Wait what am I doing she obviously just wants to help’ I thought.

“It’s ok I’m not going to hurt you” she says with a smile that would melt ice.

“Sorry about that old habits die hard and what not” I said holding out my wings to her.

“Oh you can talk” she said a bit surprised. She grabbed my wing gently and started to wrap them in bandages. “I mean I’m sorry I thought you were a dragon, but I didn’t want to insult you” she said with an apologetic look on her face.

“I’m sorry but what did you call me?” I asked as calmly as I could.

“Oh…um….a dragon” she whispered. She was just finish with my wings and was now trying to make herself as small as possible.

“FUCKING FINALY!” I yelled. This made her jump and hide behind the pile of books near the desk. Feeling a bit embarrassed I said “Uh excuse me miss I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you, but you would not believe how many people call me a snake or a lizard and I was just so relieved that you didn’t so could you please come out.” A pregnant silence held the room for a while and she still didn’t come out ‘Wow I must have really scared her, so let’s try to lighten the mood with a joke.’ “Excuse me Miss but I need some help with some bandaging and you don’t have to worry I won’t bite, scratch or do that tongue thing snakes do” I said with a slight laugh. I listen and look in her general direction to hear a giggle coming from the left side of the desk. Couple of minutes later and she comes out from hiding and slowly trots over towards me and starts putting some ointment on my cuts and bruises and wraps them up with bandages.

“So miss…?” I asked.

“Fluttershy” she whispered, but I couldn’t hear her.

“I’m sorry I didn’t catch that. What was it?” I asked again.

“Fluttershy” she said a bit louder this time, but still barely audio able.

“Flutter…shy” I asked with a nervous smile. She simply nodded her head and finished patching me up. “So Miss Fluttershy I’m going out on a limb here but you’re a veterinarian right?” I asked trying to get her to relax.

“Oh yes, but how did you know?” she asked me a bit happier now and more importantly less nervous of me.

“Oh just your techniques and how you were very kind. You must really love all kind of animals” I said with a smile.

“Oh yes I have a lot of animal friends back at my home that I just love to take care of” she said with a smile on her face. So we sat there and talked for a bit about all the animals she takes care of and how her little rabbit Angel is a mischief little guy until my stomach started to growl.

I rub the back of my head embarrassed and say “Sorry about that it’s been a couple of days since I last ate.”

“Oh it’s ok I’m sure Twilight won’t mind if you eat some of her food” she said and motion for me to hop on her back, so I did and as she walked towards the kitchen she asked “So um what do you eat?”

“Well normally I eat meat…” Fluttershy stopped and looked at me with fear so I quickly continued “No not like pony meat or little critter meat like fish meat, but I can also eat fruit and stuff like that.” She seems to understand what I meant, but still didn't look to happy. ‘Way to go idiot we just spend like an hour talking about all her animal friends and you tell her you eat meat without explaining right away.’

We arrive in the small kitchen and she sets me down on the kitchen table where she notices the gems and asks “Um do you eat gem like other dragons” now keeping eye contact to a minimal.

“Uh no not really, I personally don’t like the taste and are you still concerned about what I said?” I asked.

“No not really, but it’s just *whisper too quietly*” she said tapping her hooves together and still not looking at me.

I just sigh and say “Don’t worry Fluttershy I promise I won’t eat any of your friends.” She seems to brighten up a bit and makes some eye contact with me. As I look around the kitchen for something to eat I notice a couple of apples left out. “How about those?” I said while pointing towards them. She sees what I’m pointing at and head over there. I could hear the sound of her chopping them up to small pieces with a knife ‘How in the hell do they hold knives with their hooves’ I thought. When she finishes she sets the knife down, brings a small tray of the apples over to the table.

“Wow these are probably the best apple I have ever had in my entire life” I said as I munched one down.

She happily smiled and said “My friend owns the apple farm that grows them.” Before I could ask which direction it was at we heard the slam of a door open. Fluttershy eeped and hid in the pantry that should not even be able to fit a pony of her size.

“Fluttershy…where…are you” called Twilight who sounded exhausted.

Fluttershy was still shocked so I answered “We’re in the kitchen.”

“What…do…you mean…” Twilight came in and her jaw was hanging and was just staring at me.

“You know it’s rude to stare” I said with smug look on my face as I bit into another apple slice.

“You’re awake” she said surprised.

“So are you” I reply back with a no shit look making her blush a bit.

She eventually starts to smile and get the look of a curious child wanting to ask a lot of questions, but before she could even get the chance a crash could be heard from the front making Twilight turn around and start a conversation that I could only get the jist and soon she ran out the front door. ‘Something about the dam going to break because of too much water and how it will flood if not destroying Ponyville. That’s definitely not good and is somewhat my fault.’

“Hey Fluttershy I need your help” I said now looking at the pantry she was hiding in. She didn’t respond so I continued “Fluttershy I need your help or something bad might happen.”

This got her to stick her head out and ask while stuttering a bit “S-s-something b-b-bad?”

“Yeah it sounds like the dam is going to break soon and it might destroy the town” I said calmly while looking at the clear blue sky from the table.

“W-what can I do?” she asks now coming out a bit more.

“I need you to take me where the water going to come from” I said. She didn't respond and just stared at me for a while not sure whether to say yes or no. ‘I’m really not going to like doing this to her, but this is somewhat my fault and this place seems like a really nice town.’ “Fluttershy not only will ponies be affected, so will the animals and you’re the only one that can help me get there fast enough” I said. This seems to snap her out of it tears were starting to form, but she was doing a good job not to cry. She came over towards me to let me on, so I jumped onto her head and we ran out the back door.
