The ruins and The books

(NOTE THIS CHAPTER STARTS BACK AFTER DRAKE ESCAPED CANTERLOT.)

I walked for a couple hours trying to keep a low profile in case they sent some Pegasi to look for me. I stayed close to the tree’s to make sure they could not see me although a purple reptile would stick out in the trees. After a couple hours of wandering and hunting I found the ruins of what I guess was once a house but it could have just as easily been a store ether way there might be something useful that I can use and even If there isn’t it might be an interesting distraction from what is plaguing my mind at the moment.

I wandered the ruin which turned out to be a house had nothing that interesting at first but just as I was about to leave I ‘found’ a trap door covered by some leaves (If by found you mean stepped on it by accident and fell down a hole.) and was knocked out for a couple hours.

I awoke a couple hours later in a daze. I looked around trying to figure out what had happened then it hit me harder than Superman using Thor’s hammer at full force after a month in the sun ‘I fell down into a cave’ I thought to myself as I looked around for my walking stick. After looking for a while I gave up on finding the stick and decided to use the cave walls to support me. After a short uneventful walk I came across something that could only be described as a natural bunker I enter it thinking that it might have either a way out or something of value.

Inside the bunker I decided to take a quick look around to find anything of use after I attempted to use the ‘thu'um ’from Skyrim to see if It could work short story shorter it didn’t. A short while later I had found a couple gems that I could sell to get some coins, two books and a really dark crystal. I decided to look at the books just in case they had something helpful or interesting. Chances are that the books will be written in a different language but it still worth a check.

Most of the first book I chose was unreadable for the most part but I found three chapters that were readable it turns out that the book I had chosen was about dragons. The first readable chapter detailed their eating habits. As it turns out dragons cannot only eat meat but also vegetables and gems of all things. I decided to test this out to see if that was true I grabbed a small emerald and took a bite. It tasted okay I mean they were nothing special but it’s nice to know that I have a third source of food.

I checked the second readable chapter and it turns out its on dragon’s reproduction cycles. It basically told me about how dragons and ponies have similar genetics so that when they mate there is a chance of making a kiru or ‘dragon ponies’. That didn’t really interest me much but the next thing actually surprised me ‘A male dragon is not born with genitalia instead when they start their teenage years their genitalia start growing. After the first one has grown the dragon will start emitting a scent that will notify a suitable mate that it is ready to reproduce. The scent will disperse into minor gas after the dragon’s second member has become fully grown. This process will take a couple days to a week max.’ the rest was unreadable but I’m guessing it was not important.

Unfortunate for him the unreadable text was a warning about that a mare or dragoness will have a hundred percent chance of getting pregnant under the influence of the scent.

The last chapter only had a few readable pages and was about a dragon’s natural abilities. The basics were that dragon scales absorbs magic and they can use the magic they’ve stored to heal themselves. Dragon’s also have great resistance to heat showed in here apparent ability to swim in lava they also can hold their breath for long periods of times, have a natural fire preventing them from freezing or needing to go into hibernation, are immune to most ailments such as most poisons and can use their breaths to send items to a special point. The rest of the book is unreadable at this point.

I closed the book and put it down to look around a bit just to see if there was a way out. I wasn’t about to leave without reading the second book but I needed to know what time it was just to make sure I knew if I needed to stay here for the night. After a couple minutes of looking I found a lever that opened a wall allowing me to go out I looked up and for the first time in three years I saw the sunset.  It took me a couple seconds to realise that I was crying. I quickly wiped away the tear and went back inside the cave to read the second book. I knew that I would not get anywhere by moping around so I grabbed the second book and started reading it. Unfortunately for me the book only had two pages readable.

I can’t believe that bastard Starswirl back stabbed us after all we did. I mean if it wasn’t for us that bastard would still be freezing his flank off back in the old country while arguing over whose head is bigger. Anyway his heart has been consumed by the darkness I saw him he turned his loyal assistant ‘Clover the Clever’ into that thing he called a changeling then blames us for her ‘disappearance’ exposes our work as ‘dark arts’ and banished us from the country. Luckily for me I have a secret bunker where I can continue my work in peace. I just hope that the others are okay and lets all hope for Equestria’s sake that Starswirl gets exposed for the corrupt bastard that he is.

This is ‘Former’ Commander Hurricane signing out

I took a moment to take that information in from what I gathered this book is at least a couple centuries old. I took a sigh hoping that maybe this woman has at least a happy ending.

I don’t have long to write this but here it goes. I was out gathering food in the surrounding forest when a group of griffon raiders attacked me but I was able to escape them with ease but at the same time I became wounded. I'm going to run away to get them away from my home if anypony is reading this find a black gem it’s my soulgem break it. It will give some of my abilities use it well and seek out Queen Chrysalis tell her that her chaos has fallen and the shadows remain.

This is the last entry of Commander Hurricane, Element of Honesty.

I closed the book deciding that I should sleep now and break the gem in the morning not knowing how the gem would work it’s probably for the best that I have a fresh head when I break it.

(MEANWHILE IN CANTERLOT. LUNA POV)

I raised the moon for the first time in a thousand years I wondered what had changed in the time I was gone. I had decided to go for a walk around the castle but as I opened my door I was greeted by my sister. “Hello Luna. How are you getting acquainted with your new room?” Celestia asked with an odd look on her face.

“Tis nice but some the things in the room confuse me.” I said looking at that odd device that steals bread.

“You mean the toaster?” she asked

“Sister if you’re here to ask me something just ask it. Honestly of all the things that have changed you’re poker face isn’t one of them.” I said

“Very well” She said recovering from what I just said “When you are out in the dream world could you please look for the ‘dragon’ that escaped from the castle.”

I looked at her for a second before agreeing. She was obviously hiding something and I knew that the dragon would give me the info that I wanted.

I waited a couple of hours to be sure that it was asleep before I entered my ethereal form and went off to find him. Luckily for me he was close to Canterlot so I didn’t have to look far for him. The dream on the other hoof was not what she had expected. Next Chapter: Dream of darkness Estimated time remaining: 5 Minutes
