The moon was up in the sky longer than usual. Luna has yet to gain enough energy to raise the sun. She needed to raise it. Dawn is now again mortal. Many years of being immortal did a number on her. Her body was feeling weaker and more heavy. She was tired.

"Go to bed. Hopefully I can help Luna raise the sun."

"I'm going to see what's up with the dragon instead."

"I don't like that dragon."

"Dad, all because he blew fire at you doesn't mean you should hate him."

"First impressions stick."

Dawn went down to the lounging quarters of the castle and joined the others. Soul was looking over the newly born dragon. The room was very warm but comfortable. The fireplace cracked while the bright chandeliers lit the room up.

Randall asked Black Soul,"KIshi? That sounds familiar."

"That's the name of one of our friends remember."

Mist exclaimed,"Ah, Kishi. I remember him. He passed a few years ago."

"He did." Tal added,"He was a good friend."

Fyn Cour asked cautiously,"How did he die?"

"He fell ill. At least he didn't die alone. I was there when he died." answered Soul.

Aero said,"That's a touching story but, we need to get back on track. How will we raise an army?"

"Like what was suggested by Shadow. We can raise them as child soldiers but, they will barely have any education." Seng replied."Personally I think we should let them grow and when they are 18 we get them to choose if they want to fight."

Dawn said,"The cycle hasn't been completed yet. I agree with you. We won't have to fight until the powers have been properly activated and until we return to Fallen Star."

"How about we don't go there at all." said Bladedancer,"We won't have a need for an army if we don't go there right? That's what you just said."

"I did, we have to go there eventually or else Garren and Lacoden will keep picking us apart."

Something came up to Tint's mind and he jumped up,"Why are we in this in the first place? This is your fight not ours. Why should we risk our lives for your skin. Tell us why."

"I don't know how you all got dragged into this, maybe it's destiny."

"No, a prophecy." Gandore joined as well, she was carrying an old book,"This prophecy must be fulfilled if our world were to be left in peace."

Dust asked,"Is that the book that has this "prophecy"?"

"No, this is a book on our little friend here. Gravity dragons are rare and to have one buried in the garden is much more rare. How deep was it when you dug it up Soul?"

"Not deep at all around 3 - 4 feet in the ground, Give or take a few since Dawn kind of blew the garden up."

"3 - 4 feet deep. Somepony or rather somedragon buried it far more recently than I thought." Gandore opened the book it was titled Dragons of Equestria. She flipped through the pages fast and she stopped on a section titled Dragon of Gravity.

"Now for a little story time, be quiet as I read aloud. This is the only copy of a very valuable journal. Please hold any questions until the end."

The gravity dragons were said to be the first race of dragon to be created. There is only one recorded gravity dragon, well to me. This gravity dragon was very large and it's scales were very dark. The basic powers of gravity dragons are: levitation, gravity-drop, and gravity-rise. These are the only ones observed by ones brave enough to even sneak up on a dragon. I have been watching to for weeks now and he still hasn't changed his-

Seng asked,"Who is the one who wrote this?"

"Star Swirl the Bearded and didn't you listen hold your questions."

"When did he write it?" asked Randall.

"120 years ago. He wrote this as he started his career to be one of the best unicorns to have ever lived. Can I continue?"

It still hasn't changed his lifestyle. It's been doing the same things for months, I wonder if it knows I've been watching it. I will approach the dragon in a week. I hope it doesn't eat me.

Today at Fallen Star is the same as always. Green grass and waves pounding the beaches. The scenery is not what I'm after. I will approach this dragon with much kindness as I can make. If I am not heard from again that means I've been eaten.

Apparently dragons don't like the taste of ponies, I will recite our conversation. I remember it word for word, nopony forgets the first time they speak to a dragon.

Note: I was ready to sprint the whole time during this talk.

I came up slowly to the dragons cave. It was sleeping. I approached the sleeping dragon trying to get a closer look of detail on it's scales.I tripped over a rock, land on it's snout, and he wakes. I try to bring myself up but, trip even more. It pinned my tail to the ground with it's claw. Damn my straggly and tangled tail. It prevented me from moving. I wanted to cut it off before it ate me, instead it spoke.

"You have been observing me for weeks now. What have you learned?" it said.

I responded,"Not.....not much." I was beginning to stutter. I haven't stuttered ever since I was a little.

The dragon lifted it's claw and replied,"What would you like to know?"

Puzzled, very puzzled I was. Would you agree if somepony found out you were spying on them they would get angry? I sure did, I answered,"Where the loo is."

The dragon quickly stabbed it's claw down into my tail again and said,"Well it's not here. Were you going to relieve yourself in my cave?"

"No no no! Of course not." I was shaking, it felt it.

"I think you already did." it chuckled."What is your name?" it asked as it released my tail.

"St-Star Swirl."

"Are you a native of this island?"

"I come from a land far away."

"When do you plan on returning there?"

"I don't know."

"Would you like to do me a favor?"

"We just met though."

"And you seem responsible and honest. Will you do this?"

"It depends. What do I have to do?"

"I need you to hide something."

"For what?"

"My eldest son has gone mad."

"So you want me to hide something from a dragon. Yeah well, I'm going to go now." As I turned around to leave the cave, he said something that I won't ever forget.

"You can save your homeland, Equestria."

"I never said.....How did you know where I come from."

"I have lived for many centuries and you think I don't explore the world I am in."

"Okay. You still haven't answered my question."

"This is my island. I know what comes in and goes out. Now answer mine. Will you do me a favor."

"What do I have to hide?"

"My unborn offspring." The dragon lifted an egg from behind his great body.

"When will it hatch?"

"It is growing as we speak but, will not reveal itself until the time comes."

"When is that?"

"That's for it to decide." The dragon grew alert and he was looking around. He looked back at me,"You need to leave. Take it."

I got the egg and used my magic to hold it up."What is it?"

"My son. Orcusin. Leave. Go to the village north of the island."

"What is your name?"

"Dragaitas."

I hope I can speak to Dragaitas again someday. I did as he instructed me to because, I did not want to get in the middle of a dragon fight. I went to the village to the north and found a boat headed toward Equestria. The egg given to me was safely hiding among my research papers and my luggage. I hope the princesses don't mind me bringing a dragon egg to the castle.

Halfway to Equestria we have stopped at a small island to resupply and rest our sea-legs. I want to leave. Everything here is just the same as before: drunks fighting each other and pirates getting all the loot they can get. I will stay on the Dutchhorse until she leaves this island.

I just got off the Dutchhorse, we made port with Green Fawn. I will find a way to get back to the castle and show the young princesses my souvenir.

I showed the princesses the egg , I remembered Dragaitas telling me to hide it so I did. I buried it in the Canterlot Garden. I hope this Orcusin didn't follow me back.

I am still young, kind of. I like to think myself as young to keep me going. My birthday marking my 28th year of life is happening soon. Funny I started this 4 months ago and nopony has asked me what I write in here. I would like to keep it that way. I think I shall stop this journal and pay attention more to my studies. The princesses need somepony to teach them how to rule a kingdom. I will make my decision on my birthday.

I have met somepony today at my celebration. She is very smart and humorous. I will pursue her. As this name for my entry is this my last entry. I have decided to focus more on my life outside of these pages. I hope when this is again read I will have left an Equestria in the hooves of two strong sisters. I am Star Swirl leaving this journal of my adventures studying dragons. I hope the information provided here in ink will help in some way.

Flood spoke,"We know one thing for sure. Star Swirl buried the dragon in the garden."

Hail contributed to the conversation,"What "time" did Dragaitas speak of? When the time comes. That egg has been buried for 120 years and it just hatched now. My head hurts."

"Tell me about it." added Aero,"Why has the egg hatched now? I sure it's no for anything good either."

Cloudfire said,"It also said that the egg was still growing. Does that mean Kishi is 120 years old? He's small though."

"I think his growth will catch up with him." said Dawn,"Wait......When my father and I met Excaelum he was only I think 30 years or so old. That was 50 years ago. This dragon is older than Excaelum that means he can be stronger than him too."

"Orcusin is the oldest, Kishi, then Excaelum." Randall concluded.

"We still have to worry about Orcusin though." said Seng,"He is still stronger than Excaelum and Kishi. He is mad to according to Dragaitas."

Soul looked at Kishi,he was laying by the fireplace,"I hope he doesn't become like him." she mumbled to herself.

Luna and Shadow were in the infirmary staring at their wounded friends.

"Princess the sun needs to be risen in a couple of hours."

"I know. I am too weak to though."

"You know me being life I can use some of my power to assist you everyday until Celestia wakes up again."

"That would be appreciated."

"When will you tell the frontier and the rest of the residents here that Celestia is injured?"

"I don't plan on it."

"You can't hide it for long. They will wonder why the sun has been risen late."

"I hate my responsibilities sometimes."

"Don't we all. I will take care of our army and Garren, you just worry about the sun."

"You got the easier deal."

Shadow chuckled,"Not really. I have to worry about a killer while you have a giant ball of flame miles away to raise every morning."

"Haha. I can't believe we still have room for humor."

"I try to keep my morale up."

Lacoden was talking to herself at the warehouse. Garren was elsewhere, she was left in keeping the Changelings in check. She had trouble keeping herself in check.

"You are getting more active everyday aren't you?"

Her tone changed to a lighter one,"To get you out of my life."

"Now that's rude. I kept you alive this long and you want out."

"I need to get my life back."

"I am your life."

"No you are not real."

"I am as real as you make me."

"Give me my body back."

Lacoden smashed her head against a bloodstained wall and she looked at the puddle of dark cold blood drained from the bodies of ponies she has killed. She saw her reflection, a dead hollow shell covered by a hood.

Lacoden was not speaking in her high-toned voice anymore. Her disturbed, deep, and hostile voice remained. She said to her reflection

"You can't have it back yet, Lacoden."
