Luna pov five hours ago

I watched as Troy jumped through the portal trying to save his son and Applebloom. A second later the portal closed behind him. I stood there looking at the circle then I heard hoofs on the marble floor. I turned my head and saw Twilight running away fear seemed to take hold of her.
I opened my wings and gave chase. I flew past a few of my herd sisters.

‘Luna!?”

Celestia and Nightmare teleported in front of Twilight she came to a stop as I landed behind her.
“You! YOU!” I grabbed her and she covered her face as I pulled my right arm back as she begged.

“I’m sorry! I had no way of knowing what would happen. please don’t.”

“Luna!”

I looked at Nightmare as angry tears fell from my eyes. “This whore just did something to Troy and Applebloom and their son.”

“What!?”

“I don’t know if their alive or dead for something else and… and…” I let her hand go as I looked down at the ground tears really starting to fall. Nightmare walked over and grabbed my shoulder then started to push me down the hall.

“Let’s see if we can figure out what happened Daybreaker you handle her Celestia keep this quiet.”

They nodded and we walked back down to Twilight’s lab. The circle was gone and the papers were everywhere on the floor.

“Let’s get started to Luna.”

We spend the better part of an hour just picking up all the paper before the other came in worried. We broke up the papers trying to find something useful. Three hours later we hear a large pop.

“Pop!”

We all stopped and looked at the center of the room. Another pop and I saw a flash and dropped the paper in my hand. “The gate!” We all looked at the spot and waited for another hour than in a bright flash the gate reopened.

“Crap!”

That was Troy’s voice. A pile of bodies fell with Applebloom and Ax at the top with what looks like a human woman. But then something started to happen to the woman’s body. It covered in magic the started to grow out and change. They fell to the side as Troy started to move around. The woman fell on her back and I watched as her body was growing and tearing off her clothes. Troy pulled off his cloak then threw it over her.

“By the ancestors Twilight, what’s going on?”

“Twilight!?”

I was ignored as she grabbed her ears as a small horn grew out of her head making her fall to the ground clearly in pain.

“Twi!”

Applebloom grabbed her shoulder as I tail came out from under the cloak. We all looked at her as she laid on the ground seemingly had passed out.

“Fuck…”

Troy looked at us and smiled. “At least you all still seem the same how long were we gone?”

Cadence came out of it first.

“About five hours.”

He let out a long sighed as he sat on the ground.

“Thank the ancestors I was scared years could have gone by.”

We all looked at him confused and he waved it off. “We’ll talk later I need to deal with this first.” He stood up helped Applebloom up then picked up the woman who now looked to be just bearly a head shorter than he was.

“Meet me in my office in a few minutes.”

We all nodded then he walked out and once he was gone we all looked at Applebloom. She smiled as she nodded her head.

“It a long story.”

Troy pov

I walked into the medical wing of the castle and saw no nurses or doctors in the area. ‘Must be out for dinner I guess.’ I walked over to the privet beds in the corner. I laid her down in the bed then pulled my cloak out from under the cover. I placed it over the cover as everyone knew my symbol then walked out of the door and saw the head maid walking down the hall. She met my gaze and I waved my hand and she looked scared as she walked up to me.

“Y-yes my king?”

“Please get me a few sets of large clothes for mares we have a woman who needs a new set of clothes.”
‘
“Yes, Sir.”

She quickly ran off and I walked back in and pulled up a chair beside her bed. Everyone came in about half an hour as I was reading a book the clothes beside us on another bed. I looked up at Celestia and saw her snarl. I threw my arm up blocking a punch she threw a second later. “I really do like that fiery temper of your Celestia but you were warned.” I spun my arm around then grabbed her wrist then pulled her face level with me. I smiled then let her wrist go then jumped up as she blasted the chair burning the chair to ash. I stabbed my hand into the roof as I looked down at her.

“Is this about me sleeping with this Twilight?”

“YES!”

“You're not in my herd anymore so you get no say.”

“I am the queen of the sun I have a say in this!”

I narrowed my eyes and she backed down as she looked up at me. “You have nothing to do with this. Keep it up and I’ll see to it you have nothing to do in our daughter’s life with how violent you are acting.” She looked defeated then nodded her head as the others came running in.

“Ok, ok you win.”

I frowned as I looked down at her.

“I don’t win and neither do you, Celestia. I shouldn’t have to say something like that to make you calm down. Your far older so you should know how to deal with this like a grown mare. For goodness sake, I’m nineteen and I’m thinking clearer than you are.” I pulled my hand free then fell to the ground and stood in front of her then pointed to the door. “We’ll talk later now go back to your wing of the castle then I’ll come and talk to you.” She ran out some tears in her eyes as she ran. I sighed as I rubbed my eyes as I looked down. A hand was placed on my shoulder then I looked down at Sweetie as she looked up at me.

“I do understand but I don’t like that you used that card.”

I nodded as a groan rang out. We all looked at Twilight as she started to come around to the living world. She leaned up the covers fell off showing offing her now e cup breast. Sweetie covered my eyes and yelled.

“Cover yourself!”

I heard Twilight yell then she was screaming and then a felt a strange wind. I grabbed Sweetie’s hand then looked at She a pair of wings open wide. “Alicorn!?”

“Troy what’s going on!?”

I waved my hands as she started to tear up as I looked at what I hoped was the last chance. “Well, best guess the magic of this world is reacting with your own.” She looked panicked as she looked down at her body then pulled the covers up.

“My body is huge now!”

I blinked as I looked at the covers then rolled my eyes as I walked out room Luna staying behind. “I’ll be in Celestia’s wing come get me when you need me.”

“Ok.”

I walked down the halls, maids and guards giving me a wide berth as I walked. When I turned down Celestia’s hall I stopped when I saw the mare herself waiting in front of her door. “Are we going to do this dance again?”

“No, I just…”

I put a hand up the walked over to the door to her room then opened the door. She quietly walked in and I saw our filly asleep beside her bed in her crib. I walked over and looked at the sleeping little girl with a smile on my face. I sighed as I stood back up then looked at Celestia as she stood off to the side hands locked together as she looked away from me, “Celestia…” She jumped then looked at me as I sat down on the bed then patted the spot beside me. She walked over to me then sat down beside me and slowly reached out for my hand but I crossed my arms. She pulled her hand back and placed it on her lap.

“Still mad I guess.”

I nodded and took a deep breath before I started to talk. “Yes and no Celestia. I understand why you did what you did. Any mother who has to deal with half as much as you have would have done the same. I’m not mad at the fact that you attacked me or the fact that you sent me through a few walls or the burns.” She looked at me confused on her face.

“Then why?”

“You acted out of anger and didn’t think about what could have happened. I can what you threw but what would have happened if one of the girls were around those areas or some of the guards or staff. They wouldn’t be able to take that kind of damage.” She looked at me for a second then looked at the ground as I sighed again then uncrossed my arms then wrapped her in a half hug. She quickly wrapped her arms around me. I rubbed her shoulder then tried to stand up. She didn’t let me go so I pinched the top of her wing and she let go right away. I stood up and looked down at her. “You're pushing it.” She silently nodded then she looked back at me.

“Is there hope of us being what we were?’

I looked at her for a second then turned my back on her. “Not anytime soon.” I walked out of the door heading back to the medical wing. When I got back I saw both Twilight looking at one another. The human Twilight was holding the throat of the pony Twilight. She wasn’t holding her tight enough to choke her but enough to get the point across. “What’s going on here?” They looked at me and twilight let her go. She quickly walked over to me and held the wings out and she shook as she did.

“She jerked these things back and I grabbed her out of reflex.”

I sighed as I looked at Twilight and she was rubbing her neck as she looked at me. “Go pack Twilight, I’ll get you some bits to get you set up back in town.” She nodded then quickly rushed off out of the medical wing. I looked at human Twilight and looked over at Rarity as she played with swords hands as she looked at us. “Rarity I hate to ask but can you please have a maid ready a room in your wing?”

“I’ll have it done before night.”

“Thanks, Twilight you come with me.”

We walked out of the room and I took her to my wing of the castle. I pushed open my door then we walked in. I had a large desk in a corner as well a large fireplace with wood stacked on the side with a bed on the back wall with a coffee table with a couch in the center of the room. On the far wall was four book shelves and I walked over placing the books on the near empty shelves. Twilight sat down on the bed then we heard a howl very close by. I laughed as I saw Twilight jump on the bed and I smiled. “Oh, your infor it now Twilight.” I put two fingers in my mouth and whistled then we heard him. Snowball came rushing into the room and tackled me to the ground. Tracy was close behind and ran up to a panicking Twilight. I laughed as I pushed the over happy wolf and saw Tracy had Twilight pinned and was purring on her chest as she laid there. I laughed as I stood up then walked over to her. ‘Life is going to get so much more fun.’

Troy pov a week later.

I walked down the street of the bat pony city with Brutal at my side. He had asked me to come along to see the new steel forge deep in the mountain. We walked down to a new seat of doors in the mountain and when it was opened by the guards an ungodly amount of heat came flying out of the doors. I grabbed Brutal’s shoulder and covered us both in my ice energy. He looked at me with a grateful smile.

“Thanks.”

I nodded and I knew the energy I left with him would last as long as we were down in this real-life hell. As we walked in we heard hammers and what sounds like grinding. We got around a corner and saw a dozen blacksmiths walking away. There were two bat ponies watching over ten small dragons from Celestia interspecies work program. I noticed the night raid symbol on a metal sheet on the wall. I smiled as we walked up to the bat pony that made my armor and sword.

“Hey old timer.”

The old guy looked at me then smiled as I walked up to him.

“Good to see you my king, how are the swords treating you?”

I smiled as I patted the swords on my side as I looked at him. “Doing well but what are you guys doing down here?”

He smiled as he started to show us what he was doing. They were starting to mass produce Steel swords and spears before moving onto Armor for the guards. I nodded as I walked around the large room. He showed me the smoke pipes going through the mountain letting the smoke out of the forge. A natural spring they had set up a door to let water in to be used in the cooling and drinking. The working area and even some of the swords they had made well. The best was a huge claymore sword with two guards with a leather grip to let the wielder put more power into an attack.

(Claymore)

“Their beautiful old time.”

“Thanks the young ones are learning fast and making great works.”

I smiled as I set the claymore back where I got it from. Then saw a female dragon hammering away at a block of steel. I stopped and watched as she stopped to drink some water. She would be a little taller than me if she was to stand up and she had black scales and was dressed in armor. She also had fins like flaps across her body with two large horns. Her wings were about as big and long as her body.

The other saw what I was looking at and the smith smiled as he looked at me.

“Ah, I see you noticed Magma. She’s only seventeen but she can give any of my third years a run for their bits. But she’s mean as they come that’s why she’s over there all alone. We’re lucky to have her through.”

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “How so?”

He smiled as he walked over to a smaller set of stone doors waving at us to follow. We did and he pushed the door open and we walked into an office that was much cooler than the forge. He walked over to some cabinets and pulled some papers out. He walked over to me and handed me the papers. I looked down at the papers and saw they were immigration papers as well as an application for the royal smiths forging school in the bat pony city.

“She’s left her clan to learn the skill she loves.”

I smiled as I looked at the papers and saw it needs to be signed by a royal family member. So she can attend the school.

“Hey can I sigh for her to go to the royal smiths school?” He smiled as he looked at me then nodded and spoke.

“You can sign both then give them to her. She’s been waiting here for over three months now. Normally it takes a month so you’d be a big help.”

I smiled then took a pen off the desk then sighed both the papers. Once I finished another thought went through my head when I looked at the immigration papers again. “Why is there no home address?” I looked up at him and he sighed as he rubbed the back of his head.

“Her host family kicked her out a week into the program. She’s been in the only inn in the city almost all her money goes to that. I’ve noticed she’s lost a little weight but not from the work in the forge. I think she’s skipping meals to try and save bits.”

Brutal and I looked at him then looked at one another.

“Troy…”

I nodded as I looked at him. “I’ll deal with this and you what’s your name?”

“Iron Age.”

“Age I want the name of her host family as well as how much she’s sent to say in the inn. And Brutal I want them here yesterday.”

“Yes Sir.”

“You got it.”

I nodded then covered the papers in my ice energy before walking back out into the forge area. I walked right over to her and she was heating the metal again. I cleaned my throat and she turned her head to look at me.

“What do you want?”

There was a razor edge to her tone and I smiled as I held the papers out to her. She pulled the metal out of the forge. She turned to face me all the way and took the papers. She saw the signature on them and a slight smile formed on her face. I smiled as I held a hand out to her making her look up at me.

“Come on, where going to get you a room at the school.”

She smiled then shook my hand as she stood up. I was right about her height as she stood all the way up. She was only two inches taller than me making her seven feet tall in I had to guess. We walked out of the forge in silence. As we walked I noticed a bag on her side. It was a bit bag. “Materials bag?” She nodded and handed the bag to me after I held my hand out to her. I pulled out some of the items from out of the bag and saw she had some iron ore, dragon scales, some of the steel flacks and I stopped as I looked down at an orange and black rock. “T-tungsten!?”

(Tungsten)

I yelled getting everyone's attention and scaring the dragoness beside me.

“By the flames why are you yelling?”

I grabbed her arm then took off to the school at top speed making her scream. I stopped in front of the school and Magma dropped to the ground. A few seconds later she was up as smiled while I looked at the super metal of humans.

“What is wrong with you!?”

I looked back at her a slight smile on my face. “You have no Idea of the potential value of what I’m hold do you?” She stood up looking down at me with a raised eyebrow. I laughed as I grabbed her hand and placed it in her hand. “Why do you think I’m so excited about this little rock?” She looked down at the chunk of Tungsten then shrugged as she looked at me again.

“It’s raw metal I snack on every now and then.”

“Tungsten is a near indestructible metal when forged right. Your little snack is something my kind can turn into weapons that are nearly as tough as a diamond.” Her eyes widened as she looked down at the Tungsten as if it was a holy relic.

“R-really!?”

I nodded and she dropped the rock back into her bag.

“Do you know how to make those weapons?”

I nodded as I looked at her and crossed my arms as I looked at her. “Somewhat, I was trained as I northern warrior not a blacksmith but maybe you could help find out how while you study.” A real smile formed on her face as she looked at me then we walked into the school. A few hours later I had got her a private room and had replaced everything to make her comfortable. Once that was done we sat in the dining hall eating. I had a guard got to get her gems and to everyone’s shock some meat I had in the castle. I swear when they brought in the gems and stakes and chunks of meat I had I thought she was going to cry. I used my flames to roast the stake for her them took two rubies and emerald the covered my palms then made hundreds of tiny spikes. I started to crush the gems over the stack making a fine power fall onto the stack. Then I full on crushed what was left of the gem then let them fall beside the stack. The gems were the size of peas or corn now. I burn a chunk of meat for myself and took a bite as she scarfed down the meat.

“Oh flames that’s so good!”

I laughed then finished the meat and made her another plate. She thanked me then I passed her a jug of water. She chugged the water then threw a few gems into her mouth. I cook the meat for us as she ate the gems from the first box of gems. I laughed as I chewed on the meat in my hand. “If you want I can have some meat sent to you and the other dragons.” She smiled as she looked at me.

“That would be great! It’s so hard for us to get the gems and meat in this country.”

I laughed again as I looked at him. “Trust me I get it. The first month in this place was hard since I couldn’t get my hands on some meat. I nearly lost my mind when I finally found a damn stake.” She laughed and I saw the other dragons coming in with a few diamond dogs. I put two fingers in my mouth and let out a loud whistle. They all looked over at us and saw the food we had with us. I waved them over and they smiled as they started to walk over. Magma grabbed a few of the bigger gems as the other sat down around us then started to get the food. The dragons used their fire to cook the meat for themselves and the others. Some of the bat ponies and ponies slowly made their way over and sat down with them. Their was laughing and stories being told as everyone was having a fun time.

“What is going on!?”

We all stopped when someone screamed and looked back at the doors. Two older bat pony stallions and a mare with them stormed in. I stood up and they noticed me and got quiet as I started to walk up to them. I stood in front of them and crack my knuckles looking down at them. “Do we have a problem?”

“N-no my king.”

A collection of gasp rang out through the room and I pointed to the table with a smile on my face. “Come on, let’s go and eat.” They nodded and I had them sit with non-ponies to eat. I sat back down beside Magma. She looked at me wide eyed as I spoke up. “I hate it when people or in this case other races are treated differently. Class, race or even family history shouldn’t matter. Even a teen who applied for immagartion and was kicked out of the house meet to host her isn’t right. Forcing her to pay for a place to sleep with what is meant to be her start up money for school is wrong.” I looked at Magma and she looked at me for a second then looked down at the gem in her hand. I smiled as a few of the others looked at her as well. I patted her shoulder and she blushed a little. I smiled then stood up and walked away grabbed one of the stallions who was glaring at the only changeling in the room. I grabbed the back of his shirt and cloke then pulled him out of the chair. He was kicking and cursing as I drug him out of the door. He grabbed my arm trying to force me to let him go. “Oh will you give it a rest! I need to talk with you and I don’t care who you are before you start screaming about that.” I stopped then lifted him up and set him on his hoofs. He dusted himself off then looked back up at me.

“So you know I am the head smith at this school.”

“And I’m the king so watch the tone.”

He went slightly white remembering who he was talking to then fixed the cloak. “I need you get as much black and orange metal from the dragon lands as you can and send the bill to me.” He looked at me then pulled out a book from his pocket. He flips through the book a few seconds then turned to the book to show me a picture of the tungsten. I nodded and he looked at me with a strange look.

“But… it’s a useless rock!?”

I laughed then put my hand on his shoulder then tightened my hand on his shoulder. “Just get it.” I gave him a cold look and he quickly nodded seeing a losing fight. I smiled as I let his shoulder go then walked away from him. Ten minutes later I was walking down the stairs to the forge and walked into a much cooler forgue and I head for the office. I pushed the door open and I saw a family of the noble bat ponies with two sons in their late teens. All of them looked scared as I closed the door and leaned into it. “This them Age?”

“Yep.”

They looked at him and they clearly had no idea I was coming here. I walked over to the father and moved my cloak as I walked and saw the three swords under it. I had my sun and moon sword with Murasame tied down. I saw sweat on their faces as I leaned on the desk in the office looking at the total cost Magma paid for the inn. It was over seven hundred bit and I looked at them as they were sweating. I held the paper out to the father and he took it and looked at it then his eyes went wide. He looked back up at me and I glared down at him rubbing the butt end of the moon sword. “This is what’s going to happen and make no mistake this is not an option. You all are coming with me to bow to her, ask for her forgiveness and pay back the bits. If you do or say anything I or Celestia or Luna would call rude I will see to it your family lose the noble standing understand?”

“Yes, your highness.”

I nodded then I stood and they quickly stood up. We left the office and the father and son looked at the ground while the wife looked at me.

“M-my king my I speak my mind?”

“Please do.”

“I don’t understand why you are personally involved with this.”

I looked at her and I looked ahead watching the way I walked. “I’ve seen this before and it lead to the death of all the members of a family.” I heard them all stop then I snapped my fingers and they quickly ran back up beside me. Soon enough we got to the school then headed in. I had them sit in the office as I walked to the dining hall. Magma was laughing with some of the bat ponies when I walked back in. I smiled then walked over to Magma her back turned to me. I smiled as I walked up behind her then tapped her shoulder. She turned to look at me then I pointed a thumb back and she nodded. We walked out into the hall and he smiled and bumped one of her hips into mine as we walked.

“Thanks a lot.”

I smiled as I looked at her. “It;s no big deal Magma and I got one more surprise for you.” She looked at her for a second then I smiled as I punched her arm. She laughed then punched me in the arm. We walked up to the office and I opened the door for her. She thanked me then walked in then froze when she saw the family. I glared at them and they stood up and bowed to her shocking her more.

“We’re sorry for forcing you out of the house and forcing you to live in an inn.”

Magma not sure what to say just looked at them. I smiled as I patted her shoulder and she snapped out of it as she looked back at me. I smiled then pushed her up to them so she could say what she would. She looked down at them then punched the son as hard as she could and then punched the father as I walked out of the office. I listened to the crashing and screaming from the inside of the office. A few of the dragons and bat ponies came to see what all the noise was from as I stood outside with my back on the door blocking anyone from getting in. I waved them off and about five minute later all the noise had stopped I gave it another minute then I opened the door and saw her sitting on the desk with a toothy smile on her face with the beaten nobles at her clawed feet. She looked at me and smile on her face as she looked at me. I smiled as I froze the door shut shaking my head as I looked at her. “Go ahead try it.”

“Gladly!”

She jumped at me and I sidestepped her and slammed my right palm in between her wings forcing her to the ground then I dropped my knee between her wings pinning her but she thrashed and kicked like crazy. Flapped her wings trying to get free from my pin. “ENOUGH!” I grabbed the back of her neck and pushed even more of my weight down on her. She tried to jump up again but I grabbed the back of her head then slammed her face back into the stone ground. She huffed flames coming from her nose and mouth her tail moving around like a mad man as she looked back up at me. The killer look in her fades as she calms down. “Are you good!?” I yelled at her and she nodded then I let her up. I pulled her back up then turned her then slammed her into the wall she had a slight smile on her face.

“What are you going to do now king?~”

I huffed then punched her in the gut. She coughed as she dropped to her knees before looking back up at me. That smile was still on her face as she looked up at me. ‘Somethings not right with her.’ I sent a stream of fire clearing the ice from the door then looked back at her. “Get a damn cold shower and get yourself straightened out.” I opened the door and saw two of Luna’s guards. “Get these fools to a hospital.” Magma followed me out and the guards quickly rushed in. Magma stayed a little closer than I would have liked then I slipped away from her as quickly as I could.

Troy pov two days later.

I smiled as I looked at my soldiers marching as I waited for the royalty to come to have a second meeting about the deer Kingdom and Ember is bringing a dragon I had saved from a slave deal Blueblood was trying to make. A letter was sent telling me she was in the castle I freed the first group and had guards searched the building and found her. She asked who was incharge of the raid and once she had my name she looked for anything she could find about me. ‘I wonder what she really wants?’

“Troy!”

I looked back and saw Bree running to me in her black light armor. I turned to her and she ran up to me and stood in front of me. I laughed as I patted her her hair and she laughed as I looked down at her. “Who’s here?”

“The yaks and the queen is asking to talk with you.”

I nodded as I looked at her then turned back to the army. “THAT ENOUGH GET SOME FOOD!” They stopped then right faced to look at me.

“SIR!”

They marched off and I looked at Bree as she looked up at me. “Let’s move out.” She put a hand up as she looked up at me.

“Magma a dragoness at the smithing school asking you to come to the school for something called Tungsten.”

I smiled on the inside knowing my secret weapon is almost ready. “Ok send a messenger to tell her I will be there in a few hours.”

She started to run back to the castle while I watched her run. I laughed then kneeled down then jumped as hard as I could. I started to fall to the castle watching ponies and others ran around with dragons in the air. I landed on the back of a large black dragon making him turn to look at me. “Sorry!’ jumped off his side as he yelled it’s fine. I landed in the new royal gardens scaring the gardens and we as a few maids near by. “Sorry everyone!” I took off running into the castle and ran up to the meeting room coming to a quick stop at the closed door. I took my cloak off then looked down at my weapons. I saw my swords as well as my knife belt and a set of ling throwing daggers.

‘I guess this is okay.’ I opened the door and saw the yak queen sitting alone in the room with a box on the table. I walked over to the table then took a seat across from her as she looked at me.

“Hello Troy, good to see you again.”

“Nice to see you as well Ayak.”

She smiled at me then I noticed her top was different. “Did you change from leather to.” I looked closer to the material then finished. “Is that silk?” She smiled as she played with her top a little as she looked at me.
“Ya, my husband isn’t the biggest fan but I don’t care much these days. Plus, me kicking him out of the room more times than not.”

Laughing while I looked at her I pointed to the box. She smiled then pushed it my way and I took it then opened the box. I saw a bag with bitson top with a second box with a small note on top. I took out the box then opened it and found a strange flag. A flag with two swords with a shield behind them. I looked at her an she smiled as she looked at me.

“I’d like to establish an embassy in the city.”

With a smile I nodded asI looked at her then picked back up the note.

I would like to have a late talk with you after the end of the day. I have to ask you a favor somewhere we won’t be overheard.

I nodded as I looked at her then turned the note over then pulled a pen from my side bag then wrote down a note to come to my office around nine. I threw it back over to her but she missed the grab. It landed in the corner of her top and I blushed as she looked down at it. She looked at me with a slight blush on her face as she looked at me.

“My you have good aim it hit my heart.”

Without looking I knew my face was red as I looked at her. I quickly stood up as she laughed then walked out with the box with the flag in hand and the bigs in my side bag.

“Hey Troy!”

I stopped and looked back at Luna as she ran up behind me. With a smile, I waited for her as she ran. She stopped then looked at me with a smile on her face.

“Dragon lord Ember is here with the Dragoness.”

“Ok, what about the rooms for them and Queen Ayak?”

“Ready and waiting.”

“Thanks Luna, let’s go and see these dragons.”

She smiled as we started to walk again. She quickly took the box then opened it to see what was inside. She saw the flag then smiled as she subconsciously wrapped her tail around my forearm as we walked. Some of the girls did this as we walked around town or in the castle. I didn’t mind after ready mares do this with their stallions as an act of showing they were taken. They also would do this with younger foals as a way to guide them as they walked around. While in thought we arrived at our throne room we walked in. I saw Ember in her armor with a staff with a large gem on the top. Beside her was for a lack of a better word was a magnificent dragoness beside her. She was dressed in a somewhat see through white dress but you had to look to see through it. It had gold trim with a small line of gold balls along her hips with orange eyes with yellow irises with wings the size of her body. Spikes ran along her body and with the largest ones on her head with two thicker fins on her head. Strange marks glowed on her body with what I guessed must be magic.

“So are you Troy Thanatos?”

I dummy nodded and Luna slammed her elbow into my side. I coughed then rubbed my side as I came back around. “Sorry, Sorry, yes my name is Troy Thanatos and your name miss?” She smiled as she started to walk over to us her hips swaying perfectly like Cadence did when she tried to get me to watch her. Her tail swung from side to side in the air as she walked up to me. She was a few inches shorter than me as she stood in front of me. She put a hand out then retracted her claws surprised me a little.

“I’m Bellezza the daughter of General War Fire.”

Luan’s breath caught as she quickly grabbed my arm then jerked me away from her. “Luna what the hell?!”

“GET HER OUT NOW!”

I looked at her for a second then pulled my arm free from her hold “Luna play nice the whole sacred act doesn't suit you.” I turned to face the dragon but stopped when I saw the look of a killer on her face. I laughed a little then patted her head as she looked at me. “Got to say that killer look reminds me of an old friend named Akame. One bad look at her and she’d rip out your throat without a second thought.” She laughed as she punched my chest.

“Don’t think I won’t do the same if I get the chance.”

“Sure i enjoy a good challenge, by the ancestors I need a good challenge these days or my skills are going to get rusty.” She slammed as she looked at me then crossed her arms as she looked at me.

“My clan has many powerful warriors I’m sure I could find you a worthy opponent.”

“Sure maybe later this month.” She nodded then walked back over to Ember as Luna pulled me back up to our throne. Luna with a smirk on her face kicked the dragoness in the shine and the two made eye contact. ‘Of hell.’ I pick Luna up by her waist then walked to the throne after saying sorry. For the next hour we talked about the deer kingdom and zebra kingdom dealing with king Dainn. When it was said and done left for bat pony city. An hour passed and I walked into school forge and found Magma sitting away from the other same as last time. “Yo, Magma what do you need?” She looked up from the metal and smiled when she saw me.

“Troy!”

She yelled as she jumped up from her stone stool and ran over to a side door. I stood there for a second before she ran back out a metal bow in hand with three quivers of arrows in her arms. She ran up to me then held out the bow and arrows. I took the bow and it was heavier than it looked. It was clearly steel and was tall enough to reach my middle ribs. I set the arrows down then tried to pull the bow string back to see what kind of weight it had. It was a high weight that was for sure but I could do it.

“It’s a two-hundred drew weight stronger than any bow used by a pony, griffon or tiger. As well as three types of arrows, which punch throw armor and even crack dragon scales.”

She pulled one of each out and showed them to me. One was a long spear like head with two lines stopping the arrow from going not more than three inches in then stop. The second was a longer arrow with a drill tipped head that looks like it would go straight through flesh with ease. The last was a slightly larger arrow head made from looked like a crystal head. I nodded as I looked at them, then put them back in the quivers before I hooked them to my belt but she stopped me. I looked at her and she pulled out a hook of some kind then handed it to me. I looked at her for a minute then she started to explain.

“You put it on the back of your belt to the back of a chest strap for armor.”

I nodded then looked down at my belt then hooked the hook to the back of my belt. “I’ll bet something for these later thanks a lot Magma.” She smiled with her arms behind her back pushing her chest out a little a tail slightly moving. I laughed then patted her head as she smiled a surprisingly sweet smile. Then I noticed the sounds of hammering and talking had stopped. I looked around at everyone even the teachers looked at us shocked of what they were looking at. I took the hand off her head then waved at them as they looked. Everyone seemed to snap out of it then started to go back to work as Magma grabbed my free arm then pulled me out of the forge. I waved at Age as she jerked me out of the forge then down to a room.

“Come on!”

“But, your class!”

“I’ve finished the three swords already I was working on my own stuff now come on!” She pulled me down to a stone door then opened the door then pulled me inside. The room was a bit hotter so I just boosted the cool energy around my body. A second later Magma sat me down in a chair and table before walking over to a desk..

“Wait here I have some else for you.”

She quickly unlocked the desk and opened the top. She moved around a few large chunks of tungsten she grabbed a wooden box with a piece of black rope wrapped around it. She quickly ran back over then she stood in front of me holding out the box. I took it then opened the wooden box after untied the box. A large combat knife was inside with a real leather sheath. I pulled the knife from the sheath and looked at the beautiful blade.

“Nice right?”

I nodded as I put the blade on my neck shocking her then drug the knife up shaving the hair from my upper neck. I did the whole way hopefully making a straight line. I rubbed my neck then smiled as I felt a nice but rough small hair you get after you shave. “This is so sharp Magma, I can’t wait to see how well it works in a fight. I sheathed the knife then looked at her as she stood in front of me. I laughed then set the bow on the table as I looked at her. “Ok, what’s with the sudden attitude change?” She smiled then walked back and sat on her bed.

“You got things done and let me beat the flanks of the noble hatchlings.”

Laughing a little I leaned back into my chair as she laughed as well. Then we stopped laughing and she looked at me as she fixed her top.

“So? Wanna be my mate?”

My jaw couldn’t have hit the ground harder as I looked at her and she pulled on her top almost pulling it off. “I… what!?” She smiled as she looked at me playing with her top.

“You’re a powerful and dominating male who can force a dragoness to the ground and do whatever he wants to her.”

I blinked as I looked at her then frowned as I looked at her. “No, sorry Magma but no.” She looked at for a second then a snarl formed on her face.

“Why not!?”

I put the knife back in the box as I looked at her. “I already have a herd, young foals and I’m happy. I helped you as I felt what I guess you could call cedredship with your plight.” She frowned as she looked at me then huffed as she looked at me.

‘Your just like my brother you show kindness but then when I want something you don’t pay back kindness.”

I sighed as I looked at her then I stood up and walked back over to her. She looked up at me as I stood over her then smiled as I looked down at her. “Look, I get where you're coming from Magma but I can’t do that but as a thanks for these weapons then you can ask for whatever and it's yours as long as it’s within my power.” She looked up at me for a few minutes then smiled as she looked at me.

“How about getting me a lava pool?”

I nodded as I looked at her then stopped as she looked back up at me. “Give me some time and I’ll do the best I can to make it happen.” She smiled as she looked up at me.

“That’s fine but I’d still like it if you’d start sending that meat and some more gem if you can.”

“Fine give me a day then you and all the other dragons will have them by dinner tomorrow evening.”

“Thank you.”

I nodded then walked over to the table and picked up the bow and box then left the room Magma right behind me. After I left the school I stopped when I saw Cadence waiting with Flurry in a baby carrier on her chest. I smiled as I walked over to her hooking the bow to my belt.

“We were looking for you Troy.”

I smiled as I walked over to her then ruffled Flurry’s hair then kissed Cadence before standing all the way back up. “What are my girls doing here?” I looked at Cadence as she laughed into her hand then grabbed my hand.

“I saw in the city to see a friend then I remembered Luna said you would be in the smithing school.”

Smiling she started to pull me along talking about she and this mare are old pin pals when they were younger. Flurry for her part kept trying to grab Cadence’s mane as she walked then it happened she grabbed her mane and yanked. Cadence stopped to get her mane free from the now giggling Flurry. I laughed then took Flurry out of the holder as she kicked and giggled. “There my gigging little filly.” I hugged her softly and she grabbed fist fulls of my hair janking and kicking as I held her.

“Doesn’t that hurt?”

Cadence watched as I turned to look at her as Flurry janked away. “Get through off a cliff and get shot by a cannon only using two sheild to protect yourself with then we’ll talk about pain.” She huffed then smiled as she walked over and kissed my cheek but as she pulled back Flurry kicked her cheek.

“OUCH! Flurry mommies mane isn’t a toy not like daddies.”

“Ya, ya.”

She laughed as she pulled her mane free from her hands. We started to walk down the road and I adjusted the bow.

“Do you know how to use that thing?”

I nodded my head as I looked down at her. “Not a clue.”

“Let me guess learn about it through battle?”

I smiled as I looked at her and she rubbed her eyes then smiled as Flurry clapped her hands.

“By Celestia your lucky you have a big heart full of love.”

I smiled as I grabbed her free hand. “Thanks.”
