I opened my eyes and saw that I was back in the nebula place again. I looked around to see that I was alone. I frowned and sat up.

“Okay, I’m back here again and I’m guessing one of you robed ones will appear and start your test thing right?” I called out. I looked around a bit more and then saw that the blue robed lady was standing right behind me. Called it!

“Greetings Jace, you have taken another step to become the sage of the five paths.” I groaned a bit and rubbed my eyes.

“Look lady it’s not that I don’t like you or any of the other four, it’s just that the name ‘Sage of the five paths’ sounds stupid.” I folded my arms over my chest and glared at her. “It sounds like something from an anime or something.” I robe lady tilted her head a bit and stared at me. I think? I can’t tell.

“And what title would you prefer then?”

“I don’t know… how about Vzor of the Five forces or something?” She again stared at me. “Vzor means paragon in another language.”

“I know what it means, it just I never thought I would meet someone who would complain about a name.” I just shrugged at her.

“Yeah well I complain about some stupid stuff, now then.” My hands started to glow with mana. “Let's get started shall we.”

“Now why are you doing that?” I stared at her for a moment as she did nothing.

“What isn’t the test bringing someone that’s a part of me and I have to fight it, that what happened the last time I was here.” She simply chuckled at me. I was completely confused until I started to feel like an idiot.

“Sorry Jace but that’s not how it works here, the tests are different for each of us it’s not as simple as facing you off with someone or something and let you, how you say ‘beat the living crap out of it’.” I almost burst out laughing as she said that. I shifted the laugh a bit and looked at her. If it’s not a fight then what will it be?

“So what’s the test than? For you to see how long before you bore me to sleep.” I blinked at what I said. Can you bore yourself to sleep if you’re already sleeping? Won’t that mean you bore yourself awake?

“Jace you were already been tested and you passed the test.” I stared at her for a minute as my brain crashed. What? She moved her hand up and a figure appeared beside her. It was Scootaloo with the dragon look.

“You see you could've change the spell in her mind for her to become your slave but instead you said that you would of died then take someone's free will away, I have see so many magi of blue mana do that sort of thing on others.” I heard the sadness in her voice in the last part.

“Well I still stand by what I said before, I would take my life than take someone’s free will.” I snorted a bit and stared at her. I saw her smile.

“At least there are some with that idea, well I just summoned you here to tell you that you passed and if you had any questions I will answered them the best as I can.” I watched her for a moment as a one question came to me.

“Was it you that made Jess or is she just a split personality of mine?” I asked her. She just smiled at me.

“Why not ask her yourself.” I turned to see Jess standing there with a eat shit grin.

“Hi there Jacy.” I frowned and turn to look at the lady but she was gone. Right….

“So… Are you made from the robe lady or by something else?” I asked Jess. She just shrugged at me.

“Don’t know and don’t care, all I know is that you passed the test by the blue lady and she didn’t make you go brain dead.” I flinched at the last park. Being brain dead would suck a lot. I looked around at the emptied space.

“So…. what now?” I asked her. She tapped her finger on her chin and snapped her fingers as a deck of cards appeared.

“Want to go a few rounds?” I stared at her for a moment and nodded.

“Sure why not, I never got a chance to face myself before.”

I open my eyes and saw that I was back in my room in the cottage. I sat up in my bed and saw that Tia’s sun was still rising. I got out of bed and did my morning stuff. As soon that was done I went to my closet to pick out what to wear for the day. I grabbed a plaid jacket and a simple t-shirt and some jeans. I was about to close the door until I saw something in there that caught my eye. It was the robes that I had when I first came to Equestria that are now ripped and burnt to a crisped from fights and falling into a volcano. I know I could thrown it away but I just couldn't. It had so many memories of me in the past and I grown attached to them. I pulled the ropes out and look at them.

“I could ask Rarity to fix them, I don’t want to throw them away but I can’t have them sitting in my closet forever.” I grabbed my bag and put the robes into it. I put a small bag of bits into the bag as well. I think two hundred bit should do. I went to put the rest of the clothes on and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like a thin lumberjack who dyed his beard and hair dark blue. I went out of the cottage and went to the back to grab the axe and began to cut some wood. Sure winter already come and gone but having some wood on stand by never hurts. I could also sell some of the wood to others when next winter comes around. It also the fact that I needed wood since I used a wood burning stove.

I began chopping wood from a tree that I fell a few days ago with another two already down. After a few hours Moonlight came out as well. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a ACDC logo on it with some camo pants on. She waved at me and grabbed a bucket and went to get some water. After she came back and helped me finish chopping one tree and half of another one. As soon as that was done it was near lunch time.

We both went in and ate some lunch, chicken sandwiches. As it seems Moonlight can eat meat from time to time, who knew. She also said that she had stuff to do in town and won’t be back until late. It seems that she’s getting a dress from Rarity and she need to head in to get fitted. She went out after she finished eating as I went to change to some casual clothing. I wore a shirt with image on the back.
With a gray zip up hoody and jeans. I walked out of my room and grabbed my bag and cane sword and moved to the door. Just as I was about to open it a knock came from it. I looked at the door and glared at it. Was I expecting someone today? After a few more knocks I opened the door to see both Amber and Scootaloo standing there. Right now I remember.

“Hello there you two, I’m guessing you're both here about what happened yesterday.” Amber nodded as Scootaloo shifted a bit. Her dragon wings twitched a bit.

“Yes Jace I know you said to wait for another few days but as you can see she’s recovered faster than we thought.” Amber said getting a glare at Scoots.

“Don’t talk that I’m not here.” She said angrily. Amber shifted a bit and gave her a sheepish smile.

“Sorry squirt, I didn’t mean to.” I watched as Scoots frowned at her and shrugged a bit. I shook my head.

“Well since you’re here better get this over with I guess.” I moved out of the way to let them in. As they walked in and I closed the door I put my bag and cane down. I walked over and sat down at the table across from the other two.

“I hope we didn’t keeping you from anything.” I waved my hand at her.

“No I was going into town for something but it’s not that important so it can wait.” I lead in and looked at Scootaloo. “So Scoot how are you feeling?”

“I feel much better than I used to, I don’t have to take my medication anymore I think.” I smiled at her and looked at Amber and frowned.

“I really hate to say this but Vlad helped her out on that front.” I saw Amber glared at me and than I saw the fact she has a short sword on her hip. I continued talking. “Yes he’s was going to do many terrible things with Scoots and luckily I got there before that could happen but as I said there’s a silver lining here.”

“And that would be?” Amber assed me. I raised my hand and waited as a book shot out from one bookshelves that made them both jump. I opened the book and flipped to a page with a picture of a red dragon. I showed them it.

“Okay? So it’s a big dragon what does that have to do with anything?” Scoots asked. I looked at her as she stared at me with draconic eyes. I felt a shiver up my spine.

“Well the DNA of this dragon are inside you.” I saw both her and Amber eyes went wide as I continued. “You see Vlad was a genius when it came to genes and other stuff when it comes to the body of someone, hell I guess that he did experiments on himself as well.”

“That’s all great and all but can you get to the silver lining part.” I looked a Amber and sighed.

“I was getting to that, the dragon you see there is know to be almost unkillable.”

“Umm how can something be unkillable?” Scootaloo asked. I smiled at her.

“Well one it’s a big ass dragon so there’s that and the other is that it can regenerate.” Scoots looked at me with a confused look. She looked at her sister.

“Umm what does regenerate mean?” She asked Amber. I sat back and watch this unfold.

“Regenerate means that you can heal from anything.” She blinked once and looked at me.

“It also means that it can heal really fast too, and not just scratches and cuts it can heal at a cellular level.” I saw Amber had some tears coming from her eyes. Scootaloo frowned a bit.

“So this dragon DNA in me is healing me?” I looked at her and smiled.

“In a way yes it’s healing you, so you don’t have to worry about about medication.” Amber rubbed her eyes a bit as I snapped my fingers as a small bag appeared in front of her.

“Ummm what’s this?” She asked me as I got up.

“Well since you two got dragged into this it’s only fair that I make it up to you, that’s I believe is about 150 bits in there so go and treat yourselves something nice.” I grabbed my bag and cane again and looked back at them. Scoots looked star struck at the bag of bits. Amber frowned.

“Umm Jace I have to ask, dragon eat meat right?” I paused and nodded at her. “If that’s so does Scoots eat meat as well?”

I blinked a few times and looked at Scoots. I have never thought of that. Luckily I knew someone who does now.

“I don’t really know Amber but if you go and find Sylph you can ask her, heck I don’t think she would mind teaching her some things as well.”

“You think she wouldn’t mind.” I shook my head at her.

“Naa I don’t think so, Sylph maybe a dragon but she loves kids and would be happy, I think she’s teaching Spike out in the field on the other side of Ponyville.” Amber nodded as she got up and Scoots as well.

“Well thank you Jace for everything.” I nodded at her.

“You take car now and Scoots,” She looked at me as I gave her a mad grin. “Don’t burn down the town, I get my socks from there.” She grinned at me and both left. I waited for a bit and went to grab my phone and headphones. I pick up a pair of dark gray headphones with the left side of the ear had a music note on it as the other side had the name ‘DJ Pon-3’ on it. I smiled at the memory of when I got them. Vinal asked me if I could help her with some special effects on one of her gigs. Pyrotechnics are fun and some techno coloured lightning made the night. She gave me these headphones as a gift and they work wonders, Best part is that they are noise canceling. I plugged them in my phone and looked through my play list until I found the song I wanted as I went out and walked down to the town.

I went to town and did all what I needed to do there. I got some more food and supplies. I even got to go the Raritys and got to laugh at Moonlight as she was standing getting fitted. I maybe her teacher but sometimes I got to be an ass. I asked Rarity to make me something out of my old robes. All I told her that I wanted it comfy and not flashy. She pouted at me but still accepted it. She told me that it would take a few days since she had to work on the dresses for her friends. I told her that there was no rush. I dropped the bag of bits and walked out before she gave them back.

As I walked along I ran into Sylph. I talked to her for a bit and asked her about Scootaloo. She said she talked to Amber about it and she was more than happy to teach Scoots. She also told me that Scoots is like me as in an omnivore, she can eat what she’s normally eat but every once in awhile she has to eat some kind of meat. After that I walked into Sugarcube corner and got some meat for the cottage. After that I went to the golden oaks library to see Twilight and grab some books. I walk up to the place and walked in.

“Oh! Hey Jace, I didn’t know you were coming.” Twilight was sitting on a couch with a book on her lap. It looked like she was reading.

“Well I need to grab some books, I read the ones I owned about a hundred times already so I thought I could grab some more from here.” She nodded and made the book she was reading disappeared. “What book were you reading?”

“Oh umm it’s nothing, just a book that I got from princess Celestia.” I frowned at her. I may not be as good as Applejack but I could tell someone is lying to me. I didn’t press for more info.

I walked around the library grabbing some books that look intrusting. I found a book series called Daring Doo which sounded like Indiana Jones back on Earth. I walked over to Twilight until I saw a book. I pulled it out and read the the title.

“Demonology” I read the name out loud and flipped through some pages. I looked at it some more then walked to Twilight. She did some magic that she said that these books are under my name. She stopped at the demon book and raised an eyebrow at me.

“Really Jace.” I frowned at her.

“What’s wrong with it?” I asked.

“It’s just that demons don’t really exist.”

“Says the mare that also said that zombies and the supernatural doesn't exist as well. Do you really want to push it.” She went red at that and handed the book over to me. I put the books into my bag but left the demon book out.

“If I may ask, why are you taking that book?” Twilight asked me. I shrugged.

“Let’s say I got a gut feeling.”

Author's Notes:

Yeah a much shorter chapter then the rest.
Now I'm wondering what was Twilight reading and Jace has a gut feeling about a book about Demons... Hmmm.

Now a question for you all, The Sage of the five paths sounds like something from a anime so dose anyone have a better name for the it. I went for Vzor of the Five forces but I think there's a better one out there.

See you all in the next chapter. :)
