My lovers and I wake up and get ready for the day. After the whole Ember thing I wonder how Spike is doing?

We're eating breakfast in the Dining Hall with Twilight and Shining Armour this time and discussing what to do about the dragons. After a few minutes the doors open to reveal Spike with a deep blush on his face and Ember walking beside him, at least she's wearing a shirt and skirt now.

"Are you alright, Spike?" I ask him, this gets everyone else to look at him.

His blush seems to spread as he sits down with Ember. "I err, yeah. I-I'm fine..." he replies and rubs the back of his head.

I raise an eyebrow at him but Ember speaks up. "We shared his bed together for the night, I do not know why he is so embarrassed, don't mates sleep together here?" she asks confused.

Oh... so he's just embarrassed with sleeping next to her? "Yes we do, we all share a bed together," I reply and gesture to my herdmates.

Ember then turns to Spike. "Then why are you so flustered?" she asks him in a demanding tone.

Spike looks down with a pout. "It was my first time sleeping with anypony... and you were really clingy," he mutters quietly, a faint blush on his face.

I chuckle slightly. "Don't worry, Spike. From what I've learnt during my time here is that women here are very affectionate and love cuddling... at least my girls do," I tell him getting two wings smacking the back of my head.

I look to my sides and see Celestia and Luna both pouting at me, but I notice the little smirks they're trying to hide.

"Oh..." Spike says and looks back at Ember who just raises an eyebrow at him.

Luna then leans over and whispers into my ear. "Heat season begins in two days time, we can feel ours just starting and we look forward to conceiving thy foal," she tells me lustfully.

Oh crap, is it that time of year already?... Well, I'm going to be camping in my room for the week. I'm not looking forward to a repeat performance with Silk again, or with any of the other staff members.

"Oh really?" I ask her teasingly while stroking her thigh under the table.

She gasps slightly and smirks at me. "We also have a surprise ready for thee as well," she tells me with a giggle.

I raise an eyebrow at her wondering what she has planned.

I chuckle and turn my attention back to Ember. "So, Ember. What do you think your father will do?" I ask her. The others also look intrigued for her answer.

She sighs as she puts down a slice of bacon. "My father believes in only power and will most likely lead the attack against you. He's also the largest dragon alive and just as big as your Castle," she tells us and then takes a bite of her bacon.

I frown at that, how are we supposed to fight something that big? I know Gaia and I defeated that undead giant in Terra but we had the element advantage then... I doubt I'll be able to cover him in enough water and generate enough lightning to even hurt him...

I then feel my right hand pulse and I see Infernus' orb blinking so I tap it.

'Ask the lizard how much heat a dragon can withstand,' he tells me.

While not happy with his choice of words, I do as he asks. "Ember, how much heat can a dragon withstand?" I ask her.

She swallows her food and looks back at me. “We can stay submerged in lava for about two minutes before our internal organs begin to burn, why?" she replies and asks me.

"Infernus wanted to know," I reply as Infernus speaks up again.

'Then I may have a solution to our problem. If you can convince her father to a one on one battle, my champion form may be enough to kill or at least wound him greatly,' he tells me.

'And what is your champion form?' I ask.

'He is the creator of hellfire and the god of the wyverns which I have named Heltirius. This form takes on a molten wyvern that can breath flames hotter than a sun and can melt even the most resistant of materials,' he replies in a proud tone.

'I take it just like with Gaia, you assume control?' I ask him.

'Correct, but I shall only destroy those you deem a target,' he tells me.

'Should we test it out first to see how long we can hold that form? I wouldn't like to use it and only have it cancel mid battle and be a sitting duck,' I ask with a frown.

'That would be wise,' he replies.

I look back to the others only to notice they're all staring at me. "Why was he mumbling to himself? And who is this Infernus?" Ember asks with a confused expression.

I sigh and rub the bridge of my nose. I then explain to them about the conversation I just had with Infernus.

"We see, then I recommend testing out this form in the badlands as to not place anypony in danger," Luna suggests.

"Good idea, and I'd like to leave now so I can practice as soon as possible. Ember, do you know when your father will arrive?" I reply and then ask the dragoness.

"I'm not sure, but I would think two weeks to a month while he summons the dragons," she replies.

"I see, then let's get going. I want as much time as I can get to practice," I tell them and then lean over to Luna. "Besides, we'll need to be back within a few days time," I whisper to her making her shiver.

Celestia and Cadence remained in Canterlot to attend court while Luna, Shella, Spike, Ember, and I went on the nightingale towards the badlands.

We arrive and I spot a nice wide open area in the distance.

"Alright, I want you all to stay here as I don't know what will happen," I tell them getting nods in return.

I cast my air wings and glide down to the spot and look around, not a soul around.

‘Alright, so how do we do this?' I ask Infernus.

'Anger and Rage help to fuel the form as does your mana, the more angry you are the hotter your flames will be. To start the form you need to turn into your physical combat form, which we'll need to practice first,' he tells me.

'Okay, so how do I activate that one?' I ask and groan internally.

'Picture the same body structure as your magic form, but with a body of molten lava instead,' he instructs me.

I do so and after five minutes of picturing what I think it'll look like, I feel my body heat up and when I open my eyes, my arms look like lava with bright orange like veins along them.

'Good, now move around like you would in your magic form and get used to this body, it will feel heavier and you cannot hover in the air in this form,' he warns me.

I spend ten minutes getting used to this form and fire off a few spells, it seems projectile spells are more suited in this form as the rock used for them explodes in a shower of lava.

'Now gather your mana into your chest and keep building it,' he tells me and I do so.

Once the mana gets to the point of bursting, I feel Infernus infuse his own mana and my vision turns red with rage and anger filling my mind. My body feels like it is contorting and growing larger as my height increases.

My arms move to my sides and begin to turn into large wings as my hands change into two long molten claws each. A muzzle then appears in my vision as smoke rises out my nostrils.

Legs then form under me followed by a long tail with a spear shaped tip, but all of this wasn't the strangest part. The strangest part, is I am still in control.

'What? This is impossible, only we aspects can control our champions form!' Infernus says with actual surprise.

I lift my right wing up and instantly lose my balance, my face slams into the ground causing the dirt and rock under me to hiss and sizzle. With a groan I carefully place my wing back down making it feel like I'm kneeling on my hands and feet. I then look down and see where my head hit has glassed over.

'What's going on?' I ask Infernus as I can feel mine and his mana flowing through me like an erupting volcano.

'I am not sure, but whatever it is has given you control... this has never happened before, not even with Starswirl,' he replies confused.

'This is certainly strange. I was barely able to keep control when you took on my champion's form,' Gaia informs us.

'What do you believe it could be?' Infernus asks her.

'My only theory is that it could be the alicorn magic from his wives parents he received is interfering. I believe it is growing and expanding his mana pool greatly, even now,' she replies.

I position myself into a more upright stance and spread my large wings, I appear to be nearly half the size of Canterlot Castle now.

'So is this a good or bad thing?' I ask them both as I examine my body.

After a few seconds of silence, Gaia speaks up. 'Both, you'll be able to fight how you wish but you are inexperienced with these forms and their abilities... Infernus would have better luck fighting than you would... but another odd thing is you don't seem to be draining your mana as fast as when I was in control,' Gaia replies.

So I'm not only in control, but it's more stable? 'Are there any negative effects from this?' I ask and then take a deep breath.

'Possibly, this has never happened before. For now, the best thing you can do is focus on maintaining this form and moving about,' Infernus tells me.

With a feeling of nervousness, I slowly nodded my head. 'Alright,' I reply and begin to walk around with my legs and wings.

By our stars, he's become a large dragon! We didn’t think he would be this big. We all watch from the airship as Adrian looks like a dragon made of lava without arms while he stumbles about as if getting used to his new form... but I thought Infernus would be in control.

'It would seem Infernus is not the one in control...' Umbra tells me.

'How is that possible?' I ask her.

'I do not know, but I will discuss it with the other aspects later,' she replies.

After a few minutes he seems to be getting the hang of it before his form just collapses and breaks away before hardening on the barren ground.

He seems unharmed as he shakes his head and stands up and looks around.

'It would seem he needs to practice holding that form together before anything else. I feel he still has a high amount of mana but it looks like he's physically exhausted,' Umbra informs me.

I spread my wings and jump over the side of the ship. I land beside Adrian and give him a gentle hug. "How art thou feeling?" I ask him.

"I'm okay, just wasn't expecting what just happened is all," he replies and smiles.

"Thou mean being in control?" I ask.

"Yeah, though Gaia thinks it's due to your parents alicorn magic in me," he tells me and sighs as he stretches his back.

"We see... Dost thou wish to remain here or shall we head back to Canterlot?" I ask him.

He hums for a second before nodding. "I'll stay here till the end of the day to get as much practice as possible. I want to make sure I have at least some control over that form, it broke apart the moment I tried to breath fire..." he tells me and then chuckles. "Though I could use a break and get something to eat and drink, that made me very tired and hungry."

The rest of the day went by with Adrian practising his god of the wyverns champion form as he called it two more times until late in the afternoon.

Though both times after getting used to moving his form collapsed after attempting to breath fire again. It would seem he'll need to practice many more times after the heat season passes, though I hope we have time before the Dragonlord decides to attack. I also need to start learning about my magic form as Umbra told me that my current form is actually my physical one.

We arrive back at Canterlot and head down to the Dining Hall to meet with the others for dinner.

Adrian opens the doors for us and I give him a soft kiss as thanks. We enter the hall and see Celestia, Cadence, and Twilight at the table.

"Welcome back. I hope it went well?" Celestia asks us.

We sit at our places. "There was some... mixed results..." Adrian replies and gives our herdmates their own kisses and hugs.

"Oh? Care to explain?" Celestia then asks with a raised brow.

I then hold my hand out to her. "We shall show thee what we saw," I offer her and she smiles.

"Very well," she replies and takes my hand as her horn glows.

After a few minutes she lets go and goes wide eyed. "That was a lot bigger than I thought he would be," she says but then giggles. "Despite the fearsome appearance, you looked adorable stumbling about," she teases him.

Adrian grumbles and crosses his arms with a cute pout. "Yeah yeah, big bad wyvern tripping over himself like a newborn..." he says but a smirk works its way onto his face.

I've holed myself up in my room as the spring heat season has officially started. Fortunately this time Silk has Shining to help her and so far I've been undisturbed as I read and practice more on auras from my spell book. It's been awhile since I last read this, I shouldn't be neglecting my element studies just because I can now use the aspects.

I'm sitting on my bed and I channel a shield and a life element and then self cast it. A green aura encompasses me as I just sit there as I try and keep it stable for as long as possible.

After a good ten or so minutes the door unlocks making me drop the aura and my eyes go wide as two Lunas walk in wearing the same dress.

"Erm... Is this a new spell or something?" I ask her... them?

"Oh no, our love. We art both very much real," the right Luna says sensually while the left Luna closes and relocks the door.

"Oooookay..." I slowly say and frown. "I'm guessing one of you is Shella right?" I ask.

They both giggle at the same time giving them an echo like tone. "Mayhap, but we art in the peak of our heat and art ready to conceive, our love," they both say together and strip out of their dresses.

I quickly get aroused as they climb onto the bed naked and crawl over to me, my book is levitated out of my hands and onto the nightstand.

They pin me down before kissing me together with a hungry look in their eyes.

"It is time to breed us, Adrian," they both whisper into both of my ears.

Good times ahead.
