"It seems that my charms are enchanted to alter my form to become stronger, faster, harder, or more powerful." I said after trying the other charms. "so it seems that now I'm very versatile. so, you said that we should head to your village?"
"That would be the best idea, her highness the queen would probably like to talk to you." said rain as he and dragon stood up and stretched.
"we better hurry cause with the way the dark is coming night will be here soon and we don't want to be here after dark." said dragon as he started along a road under the trees toward a glow. "wait, why is there a glow? we'ed better hurry."
As we ran I noticed that rain and dragon were slower than me unless rain flew and dragon used his shadow board, it looked like a black version of the hoverboard in back to the future.
Once we approached the village we saw the glow was from a fire in the center where a mass of corpses had been piled. In a rage I griped a different necklace, this one shaped like the nights' edge, and found myself looking like a hero. I began to massacre all the bipedal avian's I saw.
Rain began to shadow jump from foe to foe as his shadows coalesced into bladed gauntlets. Dragon began to breathe fire upon them while absorbing the flame from the pyre and the corpses. Both fought like devils along side me. After an hour the army who Attacked where gone and the survivors, trapped in a building that had begun to collapse, where freed as best as they could be. We found the village leaders and their daughters. Solaris, the father, had tried to fight back but his skills were not good enough to save his wife, Artemis, but as he was inside the building, he shielded his youngest daughter as a beam fell.
Not long for life, he called upon Rain, Dragon, and their sisters, Ice, and Shadow, as they came he asked if they would care for his daughter's and the village as though they were the most important item created. They accepted and I was called upon by Solaris.
"You, a stranger, risked your life for a place you had never been to. And were willing to save us from the Gryphon army, as such, I ask you to be a protector of the village and my eldest daughter." He said before breaking into a fit of coughs "please, protect my daughter to the last breath, I beg of you stranger, protect her like she was your own."
"I will, sir. I swear on my bow and on my blades, I will protect her." I replied.
"T- Th- thank you." With this, he passed on.
The burials commenced that night, long after the town began to weep for its loss. The following weeks saw the town rebuild and the three daughters, Twilight, Celestia, and Luna, began to act somewhat normal. Well normal as three girls who just lost their family could be. But they each seemed to have something they really liked at the time. twilight, was enamored with the magic she would see, Celestia couldn't stop feeling the patterns of the blankets and caps she had, and luna loved colors.
10 years after
"Father," cried twilight as she ran to Dragon's room, me in hot pursuit to watch over her, "My back is hurting!"
"Twilight, would you calm down?" Started Dragon as his wife, I don't trust that look she has, began to walk towards the window and look over the town, " I'm sure that it's nothing, let me see."
The Dragon looked closely at twilight's back and saw that her naturally strong magic was beginning to condense upon her sides, not unlike Rains wings.
"It seems you are looking quite like your uncle, you Mana is creating wings upon your back, but I am stumped as to how, seeing as you are an Atherial, not an Arial."
"Maybe she and her sister are destined for greatness," I said looking fondly at my 12-year-old charge.
six months later
I knew I shouldn't have trusted that woman, ever since the incident where twilight gained her wings and Celestia and Luna as well, she became distant, only speaking to Dragon, and finally, after half a year, I find why. She started to trick Dragon into thinking that Twilight and her sister where daemons, and I had to escape with them before that woman and her mob caught up with us.
Garbing my runic charm I activated my speed and agility to escape with my charges, one in each arm and one upon my back. A week prior Shadow told me that her mentor, Clover the clever, had an extra room if ever the need be for us to stay. She always had that keen timing. Luckily I keep that letter a secret from banshee, Dragons wife, so that was where I was headed.
