Spell 24

O N

TTT – TTT

Stress is an oddity.

Typically, stress could affect a pony’s mental and physical status greatly. Anypony knew that too much stress could cause anxiety to a great level, but, stress could also lead a pony to excel, with activities like strength training, studying, or in the case of almost all of Ponyville – preparing the town properly for the arrival of Princess Celestia that was scheduled for tomorrow.

And no pony was more stressed out at this moment than Twilight herself – With a banner that misspelled the Princess’s name, a red pegasus who just lazed about (She felt like she met that rude stallion before), and now in Sugarcube Corner…

“Pinkie! What are you doing!?”

While the royal student was asking this, the energetic pink pony had sunk her teeth into one of the largest cakes in the bakery, with frosting and bits of cake scattered on her face. There was a sheepish smile on Pinkie’s face before she licked the sweet bits off her face. “Why, I’m taste testing!”

Twilight eyed the banquet of sweets, each treat had a bite taken out of it – It didn’t take a genius to figure out what had decimated the poor sweets. “Pinkie – These sweets are for the Princess…”

“And it’s vital to see if they are worthy of a Royal Tongue,” Pinkie replied as she trotted over to a large batch of cupcakes that were placed on a nearby display table. The party pony licked her lips as she used one of her front hooves to lift up one of the cupcakes from the tray. “Nothing but the best for the Princess!”

“Yes, but I want there to be something there for the Princess!” Twilight yelped back as she used her magic to pull the cupcake from Pinkie’s grasp. “This is really important! We can’t have the Cakes baking all day, and…”

Twilight would’ve continued until a thin, brown tail wrapped around the magically lifted cupcake and yanked it from the magical aura. “Hmm, Royal Sweets? That sounds rather rare!”

The young unicorn turned her head around just in time to see a beak chomp down on the cupcake and rip a good portion out from it. “Hmm, cherries! Tasty, but it’s missing something.”

Twilight blinked a few times at the odd griffon who reached into his jacket and pulled out a small bottle with his talons. The griffon popped the top of the bottle and gingerly squeezed the bottle’s contents onto the cupcake, giving the sweet a swirl of white condiment. The griffon tossed the cupcake into his beak and squealed. “Pure deliciousness!”

The griffon gulped loudly and smiled. Unfortunately, that smile slowly faded away when he realized that a pair of purple eyes leered at him, “Uh, hello?”

“Excuse me, but what do you think you’re doing?” Twilight asked as she poked Neato’s chest a few times. “Don’t you know that…”

“Stop, I know exactly where you’re going with this,” Neato replied as he lifted up one of his talons right before Twilight’s face. “And you’re right! It was rude of me to do so!”

Twilight smiled a little bit at the griffon, “Well, at least you…”

Neato then used his tail to lift up another cupcake from the display and held it in front of Twilight. Then the griffon poured the contents of the bottle on the cupcake and held it up. “Don’t hold back on my account! Eat! Eat!”

The lavender mare pulled back as Neato lifted the mayonnaise covered treat to her, “It’s really good!”

“I… I’ll take your word on that,” Twilight replied as she trotted back slightly. “And I don’t want to eat the sweets, they’re for Princess Celestia and…”

Once again, Twilight was interrupted – This time it was when Pinkie Pie leapt up to the griffon’s tail, rolled out her tongue and wrapped it around the confectionary. Neato’s eyes widened as he quickly unwrapped his tail from the treat at the last second before it was pulled into Pinkie’s maw. Neato cradled his tail in his free talons with tears in his eyes, “Geez! I almost lost my tail!”

“Wow!” Pinkie Pie gasped with bits of cupcake and mayonnaise flying from her mouth. “This is amazing!”

The thought of losing his tail was pushed out of his head, Neato smiled brightly at the mare, “I know right! Nothing like mayonnaise to bring out the best of any food!”

“M-Mayonnaise?” Twilight gagged in her mouth. “Why would you put that on sweets? That’s just weird.”

“You just don’t get it,” Neato chuckled as he lifted up the bottle of mayonnaise up into the air once more, a bright light shone from the container. Twilight turned away from the mysterious illumination. “Mayonnaise is the best food in the world! It can bring out the flavor of any food!”

“Look, you’re more than welcomed to put whatever you like on your food,” Twilight sighed as she tried to look at the griffon (not really effective due to the light that originated from the bottle). “But could you please stop eating these sweets? That goes for you too, Pinkie Pie! These are supposed to be for the Princess!”

The griffon rubbed the back of his feathered head a few times before he squinted down at Twilight. Then with a snap of his talons, Neato smiled brightly, “Ah-ha! Now I remember! You’re that pony who was my first customer! Meeting for the third time – Now that’s fate!”

“Ooh! You’re that one griffon!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed with a bright smile on her face. “Do you remember Twilight? It was that day where we all got in that Poison Joke and I couldn’t speak and your horn got all wobbly, and we all thought that Zecora was evil but it turned out that she was a really cool zebra, and we met Eiji the next day and there was that awesome battle with all the fire and everything went BOOM! And ROAR! AND TAJADORU! And it rained coins!”

Twilight and Neato looked at each other for a few seconds before the sleek griffon smiled brightly, “Heh, I don’t know what half she said, but it sounded awesome!”

A grin that stretched ear-to-ear curled on Pinkie’s face, “Do you know what this means? We have to have a welcome party! You’re the second griffon I ever threw a party for, so this’ll be perfect!”

“A party? For me?” Neato questioned as the smile on his beak grew. “Sounds like my kind of scene! Let’s cut to the chase and throw down!”

“NO!” Twilight yelled out at the top of her lungs. Both Pinkie and Neato faltered at the loud cry of the now heavily breathing mare. With a deep breath, Twilight lifted her head up and calmly smiled, even though there was a single strand of her mane that curled up. “I mean… Pinkie Pie, we need to focus on tomorrow, can you please try to contain party animal self until tomorrow night to throw a party for Mister…”

Twilight tilted her head slightly before she turned towards the griffon, “I don’t think I ever got your name before.”

Neato rubbed the lower portion of his beak as his green eyes turned up in deep thought, “Well, I was kinda hoping to save that for a real big reveal – But, I suppose for a couple of sweet mares, I can break that tradition.

“Very well, my name is…”

“Um, I-I’m sorry,” A familiar voice sounded out. “A-Am I interrupting something?”

Neato’s beak curled up while Pinkie and Twilight looked past the large griffon to see Fluttershy seated at the door with her front legs crossed. The griffon turned his head and smiled brightly, “Of course not, Flutters! Come on in!”

It was then that Fluttershy smiled and trotted over to the trio in the sweet shop, “Oh, Neato! What are you doing here? Weren’t you still enjoying your breakfast?”

“I was, till this rude dragon came out of nowhere and stole my meal!” Neato huffed with his arms crossed. “And nopony was at the café, so I sniffed around a bit and came across the delicious smells in here, lo and behold, I couldn’t help myself.”

Spike’s back at home, so, is this griffon talking about Haru?’ Twilight thought to herself before she shook her head. “Wait, Fluttershy, you know this griffon?”

“He’s an old friend of mine from Cloudsdale,” Fluttershy answered with a real bright smile on her face. “Girls this is…”

“Stop right there, Flutters,” Neato interrupted his pegasus friend with his talon lifted up. The griffon pocketed his mayonnaise bottle and stood up on his hind legs. “A griffon needs to be able to introduce himself!”

The griffon leapt up into the air and landed right in front of the door with his arms held up into the air. “Wanna know the name? Very well! I am a simple griffon, one who has five very unique traits!”

Flexing his left arm, the griffon pumped his talon towards the three mares, “There’s a deep red sun on my back!”

With a quick turn, the griffon threw his right talons before he brought it to his chest, “There is justice in my blue heart!”

It was then that a large amount of yellow confetti and streamers popped from behind him as he lifted his arms up, “Bathing everyone in my yellow cheers!”

He then twirled around and poked his feathered face with his pointer talons, “I know you can’t see it through my feathers, but my squishy cheeks are pink!”

And then, the griffon threw this right hand up to form a peace sign, “The green fresh leaf of a new hero!

“Gleaming gold! And of course, my name is…”

Slowly, the griffon lowered his talon and spun around to throw his pointer talon into the air. At that moment, the gold confetti and streamer shot up from the floor once more and made the griffon smile brightly, “Kosuke Nitoh! At your service, ladies!”

“Oooh!” Pinkie cheered out as she clapped her front hooves a few times. “Amazing! And you even managed to find the confetti cannons that I installed in here! How’d you do that?”

“Confetti cannons?” Nitoh questioned as he rubbed his lower beak. The griffon quickly made his way to Pinkie and threw one of his talons around her, “That’s so crazy – I love it! I can tell you and I are gonna get along greatly!”

“Neato Nitoh!” Pinkie laughed along with Nitoh.

Twilight however was quiet, and only stared at the griffon before her. She was a little stunned at Nitoh’s introduction – But it wasn’t the fact that the entire presentation was incredibly over the top, it was rather the griffon’s name. “Kosuke… Nitoh.”

At the call of his name, the griffon smiled at Twilight, “Ah, my name sounds even cooler when a mare says it.”

“Y…You’re not THE Kosuke Nitoh, are you?” Twilight asked as her horn glowed brightly. In a flash of violet magic, a familiar magazine that had a fancily dressed griffon on the cover floated through the air. “The archaeologist who discovered the Caballon ruins in the south and contributed to finding a lost chunk of history?”

Nitoh yanked the magazine out of the air and pulled it in front of his face, the goofy grin on his beak curled up even further before he whistled out, “Dang! They did a real good job with my picture, and I didn’t expect to have a fan here.”

“Well, I… I never…” Twilight muttered. “It’s just that you…”

“Stop right there,” Nitoh chuckled before he reached into jacket and pulled out a small ink pen. “I know exactly what you going to say – And it’s no problem!”

Within a few seconds, Nitoh wrote down on the magazine and held it out to Twilight. “My autograph! Free of charge!”

“Uh, t-thanks,” Twilight muttered under her breath before she used her magic to make the magazine disappear from Nitoh’s talon. With a cough, Twilight turned towards Fluttershy in an attempt to change the subject. “So, what brings you here, Fluttershy?”

“W-Well, I wanted to show you girls, and Neato too, something,” Fluttershy answered as she turned to her long pink mane. “Some nice pony gave me this little critter. Come on out little guy, it’s okay.”

A little blue bug popped out of Fluttershy’s mane, followed by a brown one and a yellow one, all three flew around the surprised pegasus. “Three?”

“Ew,” Nitoh gagged with his tongue stuck out. “Flutters, what was that thing doing in your mane?”

“Don’t be like that,” Twilight scolded the griffon as she trotted up to Fluttershy. “I’ve never seen anything like them before, what are they Fluttershy?”

“I’m not sure myself,” Fluttershy replied, the odd insects flew around the sweet shop. “And I only had one to begin with, I don’t where these two went.”

“Well, I can take one off your hooves,” Twilight stated as one of the weird bugs floated down on her head. “I’ve never seen anything so adorable!”

“And here I thought girls didn’t like bugs,” Nitoh muttered under his breath.

“I-I mean, it’ll be good for Spike,” Twilight coughed with a slight blush on her face. “Ever since Haru came by, he’s been asking for a pet. I’m sure this would be perfect for him.”

“Would you like one, Neato?” Fluttershy offered as she lifted her hoof up to have one of the bugs land on her.

The tall griffon lifted his talons up in front of his face and waved them, “Ugh, no thanks. Bugs and me don’t get along – I tend to step on them.”

“Pinkie?” Fluttershy suggest.

“Ugh! A parasprite?” the pink mare spat out with her tongue poked out. “No way! Great grandpa Piper would not approve!”

The two mares and griffon watched as Pinkie trotted past them and to the door, “Now I have to find an accordion!”

“What?” Nitoh asked with a flat look in his eyes.

“You know, one of those fun, annoying instruments that Polka music is used for?” Pinkie explained as she drew her front hooves in front of her and pulled them back, humming an odd tune all the while. “I don’t have much time!”

And like that, Pinkie trotted out of the bakery.

Nitoh sighed loudly and shook his head. “Great,” he said as he waved at the remaining two mares. “Well, it was great seeing you Flutters, and nice to meet you, Miss, but I need to follow that mare.”

“Why?” Twilight questioned with a raised brow.

“You ever overhear something so inexplicable, that you’re forced to think and think on it?” Nitoh asked as he crossed his talons over his feathered chest. “Like say you’re at a restaurant and you hear something like ‘if it wasn’t for that dog, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college’.

“It’s so random and weird that you can’t help but ponder it until it drives you to the point that you have to turn around and ask the pony who said that – But they just left! And you’ll never get that answer! ‘If it wasn’t for that dog, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college’, you have so many questions!

“And I’ll be damned if I’m going to go through that again!”

And just like that, Nitoh chased after Pinkie Pie, which left Twilight to turn towards Fluttershy, “That’s uh, some friend you’ve got there, Fluttershy.”

“He’s got a good heart,” the pegasus replied with a slightly tired smile. “But he’s really, really… Eccentric.”

“And he’s one of Equestria’s best archeologists apparently,” Twilight sighed as she lowered her head. ‘I would’ve figured a griffon on the cover of Equestria’s top magazine would be a little more… Refined.’

TTT–TTT

Ponyville bustled with energy, decorations filled the streets and topped the buildings, and the ponies galloped about to finish the preparations for the next day. Save for two who slowly trotted amongst the streets – a purple, older unicorn stallion and a green earth pony with a short red mane and tail. “Um… M-Manticore…”

“Hmm?” The older stallion mused as he craned his head back, not bothering to slow down. “Why are you following me, Dryad?

“W-Well, I… I don’t really…” Dryad started with a little flush of pink on her face.

BA-DUM!

It was then that both disguised Phantoms stopped in their tracks as an intense heat surrounded the two of them. No other ponies seemed to notice the intensified temperature as the two looked about the area.

“Humph, I thought I saw you, Manticore,” a fiery voice sounded up from above the two.

Both Manticore and Dryad looked up to see a familiar red pegasus drop from the sky and gracefully land right in front of the two. That powerful heat grew stronger as the pegasus slowly trotted towards the two disguised Phantoms, his blue eyes narrowed down at the two.

Manticore stepped back, “This… This isn’t possible! How are you alive?”

The stallion leered at the ponies before him and turned his head to the side, and gestured towards an alleyway that was only a few feet away. With an audible gulp, Manticore inched to the alleyway while Dryad shriveled up a little bit. The red pegasus didn’t pay her any mind and followed Manticore between the buildings.

The moment the two were out of plain view…

WHAM!

The purple unicorn that was Manticore was flung into the wall with a red hoof pushed against his chest. “Just what the Tartarus are you trying to pull, Manticore?!”

“L-Lord Phoenix,” Manticore gagged out with several tarot cards falling out from his robes. “I… I’m just following orders! I need to awaken the Gate and… And…”

“That’s not what I’m talking about!” Phoenix snarled as he applied more pressure to Manticore’s chest. “What the Tartarus are you doing with the Ring Mage!?”

“W-What?” Manticore sputtered out with his eyes wide.

“I saw your fight with him from the sky,” Phoenix growled, the fiery Phantom leaned closer towards his fellow Phantom’s face. “I. Don’t. Like. IT! You poisoned him and…”

“Not all of us are prolific in battle, Lord Phoenix,” Manticore replied, he struggled to get free from the stronger Phantom’s lock. “I… I am a master planner. I can barely fight! And…”

“I don’t want to hear it!” Phoenix snarled back as flames flickered around his body. “You practically stabbed him in the back! And frankly I don’t really care for such tactics… But if you really want to suggest the style of a coward, maybe I’ll give it a try right now.”

The flames began to coil tightly around Phoenix’s body as his equine form slowly burned away into his red and gold armored Phantom form. But as the transformation eased its way to his upper body, it just stopped. Phoenix and Manticore both looked at the odd combination of Phantom and Pony for a few seconds before Phoenix’s body began to revert back to his pony form.

“W-What?!” Phoenix stammered as he dropped Manticore to the ground.

Manticore smiled as he trotted around Phoenix, who had lowered his body slightly. “Oh ho, I see… I had heard that whenever you slayed that Ursa Major, you neglected to take on any more missions. Tell me Phoenix, did you actually die at the claws of the Ursa Major?”

Phoenix’s blue eyes shrunk slightly before he barred his teeth, “You… Lousy…”

The red pegasus turned his head towards Manticore, only to see a tarot card suspended in the air in front of him. Manticore levitated the card with his magic and slowly turned it over to show jester pony with a number of balloons around the mare. “Ah, the fool – How appropriate. Phoenix, you’re nothing more than a self-destructive fool. You may be powerful, but your mindset is nothing but a hindrance and you’ll only continue to spiral downwards.”

“Bastard,” Phoenix growled loudly.

Manticore dropped the card onto Phoenix’s head, and slowly walked past the pegasus. “My suggestion to you is to relax while the bridge you walk on burns beneath your hooves – Soon, you’ll no longer be a Greater Phantom. Let’s face it, you were dealt a great hand of cards, and you screwed it up.”

And like that Manticore casually trotted away from Phoenix, who struggled to get back to his hooves, but slipped on the grass in the process. ‘Damn it! Have I become nothing more than a joke?! Is this is what has become of me?!’

Phoenix slammed his hoof into the ground. “Damn it!”

TTT - TTT

“Hold still, Rainbow Dash!”

“Gargh! I can’t! I don’t get how Wizard can stand wearing this stuff!”

Inside Carousel Boutique, Rainbow Dash fidgeted about on top of one of the modeling table in the middle of the main hall while Rarity slowly stitched the odd outfit on the blue pegasus’ figure. The outfit in question was made out of black fabric with silver trim, with sapphire demimonde-cut jewels where her wings were along with sapphire bands on her legs. “Seriously! It’s awesome, but I need to stretch my wings!”

“It was either this, or the powdered wig,” Rarity countered as she pointed a hoof at Dash. “Do you want to look good when Princess Celestia arrives, or do you not?”

“GARGH!” Dash growled loudly before she sat down on the table. “Seriously though, how can he stand wearing this stuff – And fight in it!?”

“Please, it’s just fabric, not chains,” Rarity replied as she used her magic to hold up a few pins. “Besides, it’ll be a lot better once I resize and let out some of the fabric.”

“And how long will that take?” Dash asked.

“Well, if you stop moving now, and I’m able to put the final touches on,” Rarity thought out loud as she trotted around her winged friend. “I’d say, maybe another half hour to an hour.”

“GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGH!”

“Dash! You can’t rush art!”

WHAM!

Dash slammed her head into the table loudly, “How did I get roped into this?”

Dash wished for anything, ANYTHING, to take her away from this crime against her freedom.

“That’s… An interesting outfit, Dash,” Twilight admitted as she trotted into the boutique.

Well, that works.

Twilight trotted through the large amount out mannequins that had a number of different kinds of dresses, saddles, and accessories that almost glistened in the light in the boutique. Although, there were a couple outfits that made Twilight raise a brow – and they were in the same vein as the outfit that Rainbow Dash was dressed in. “Um, Rarity, they look great, but why…”

“Why Twilight,” Rarity replied as she gestured towards a nearby dress that was the same design as what Dash was wearing, save for the ruby oval-cuts on it instead of sapphires. “I had drawn up these dresses, why wouldn’t I breathe life into these marvelous creations?”

Dash sighed loudly once more.

A small chirp echoed through the room, and from Twilight’s mane the little yellow critter she had gotten earlier popped out - followed by a blue one and red one that flew around Twilight’s head.

“Oh my,” Rarity cooed as she lifted a hoof up, and allowed the blue bug to fly to her hoof. “What a simply cute creature! What are they?”

“The better question is – where did they come from?” Twilight replied as she eyed the three bugs. “I only had one to begin with… So did Fluttershy…”

As Twilight trailed off, Dash began to take a step towards the edge of the table, “Well, I’ll take one off your…”

“Dash! Don’t move from that table!” Rarity called out before she used her magic to bind Dash’s hooves to the table. “We’re still not done here!”

“GAGGGH!”

“Girls!” Pinkie called out as she quickly zipped into the opened door. “Quick! I need four tires!”

All three of her friends turned to look at the pink mare who had suddenly just appeared in the doorway. After a rather awkward silence that lasted for a moment, Twilight finally spoke up, “Tires? Pinkie Pie, why do you need…”

“Double P!”

Popping his head into doorway, Kosuke smiled brightly at the pink mare a few inches from him, “I found them! I got the tires right here!”

“Ooh! Nice one, Neato Nitoh!” Pinkie Pie thanked with a large grin on her face. Then, from out of no-where, Pinkie Pie lifted up a small pink clipboard. “Next on the list, we need… Confetti and glue! Lots and lots of glue!”

“Uh, okay,” Kosuke sheepishly replied as he rubbed the back of his head with his talons. “What exactly are we building here?”

“That’s a secret, Neato Nitoh!” Pinkie Pie answered innocently.

“Right,” The griffon sighed under his breath. It was then that he peered into the boutique and blinked a few times. “Wow, swanky digs! Nice threads! And a couple of…”

Kosuke’s head reeled back when he looked at the grouped up mares in the main hall, a large amount of sweat rolled down his feathers. “Uh… Well…”

“Pinkie Pie, what exactly are you doing?” Rarity asked before she turned her gaze to the nervous griffon. “And who exactly are you?”

“Kosuke Nitoh…”

Everypony turned to see Rainbow Dash, her eyes narrowed, her teeth barred and her tail and mane stood up slightly. The air stilled, and all noises around silenced as Dash lifted her head up. “You lousy…”

“GAAAAAH!” Kosuke threw his talons up into the air before he ran away from the door.

“GET BACK HERE!” Dash snarled before her wings ripped through the fabric and she quickly flew from the table. “YOU OWE ME FOR THAT SPITFIRE ACTION FIGURE!”

Rarity’s mouth was agape as she watched Dash soar through the door, bits and pieces of the outfit ripped from the cyan pegasus form. “RAINBOW DASH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

But it was too late, Dash had flown from the boutique and after the griffon. Rarity slumped down to the ground and sobbed to herself. “All that work…”

Once again, the awkward silence slipped back into the boutique, only broken by Rarity’s whimpers. Pinkie Pie seemingly ignored the sobs and the wails of pain that were no doubt coming from Kosuke, and the pink mare spun around, “Looks like Neato Nitoh already on the hunt for that glue and confetti, and I gotta join him!”

And just as quickly as she appeared, Pinkie Pie bounced away from the boutique.

Rarity sighed, finally gotten out of her little funk, “I swear, that mare gets more eccentric by the day.”

TTT – TTT

After a full day of cleaning and making sure that the town was ready, Twilight looked outside her window to see the lull of the town with the starry night sky hung over it. Even from her room’s window, Twilight was able to see all the hard work that the ponies in the town had completed even through the darkness of the night.

‘I hope that everything goes well,’ the violet mare thought to herself as she turned away from the window. ‘But there are a lot of things that I’m worried about – The food, the decorations, everything seems to be ready, but something like this is just begging for a disaster. And Haru hasn’t even gotten back yet, he usually doesn’t stay out this late.

‘Maybe he’s just out for a late night donut – But who knows.’

Twilight sighed and turned towards Spike’s bed, the little baby dragon curled up in the blankets with the little bug she brought home nestled next to them. The two had fallen asleep, with their snores almost perfectly synched.

In that moment, Twilight’s worries melted away. To see how peaceful the two looked was enough to quell any fears that dwelled within her heart. It was when that the studious mare yawned and smiled, ‘I’m sure everything will be fine. Haru’s more than capable of dealing with almost anything – He’s probably just making sure that no Phantoms will interrupt the ceremony tomorrow.

‘What’s the worst that could happen?’

Meanwhile…

‘Oh Kida… It… It burns!’

Haru took deep, slow breaths. No matter what he did though, every breath burned his lungs greatly. This wasn’t the first time he was in pain after he battled a Phantom, but it still hurt like Tartarus each time.

The magical dragon struggled to open his eyes, his vision was blurred. Haru tried to gather whatever strength he could muster in order to find out where he was, but with the bright lights that blinded him and the constant beeps and clicks…

‘B-beeps and clicks?

“My, aren’t you just intriguing?”

‘Who in the world is that?’

“I can already tell how extraordinary you are – Quite amazing actually, I never thought I’d see something like this here.”

‘What’s he talking about?’

“Can you do anything for him, Doctor?”

Now that was a female voice, one that Haru was sure he heard of before. But he couldn’t put his claw on where he did. “Please! He’s a really good dragon! Even if he eats doughnuts and…”

“He eats doughnuts? How curious!”

“Doctor…”

“Right, right, now then… Lef’s see whaf’s wrong wifh you!”

An odd sound buzzed over Haru’s head, which made him wince slightly. ‘Just what the Tartarus is going on here?’

The buzz stopped, “Lucky dog, he got fingers!”

Though his throat was dry, Haru mustered through the pain, “W-What…”

“Oh! He’s awake! Excellent! So many questions I have to ask!”

“W-What’s going on h-here?” Haru stuttered out, his vision still blurred.

“Yes, well, hate to tell you this, but you’ve been poisoned,” the male voice replied nonchalantly. “So tell me, what’s it like to be a dragon? Why do you carry so many rings on you? And what’s with that jacket?”

“Huh?” Haru mumbled.

“Doctor!”

“Right, right,” the ‘Doctor’ sighed back. “Don’t worry Mr. Dragon, you’ll be back in tip top shape in no time – But what’s it like to have scaly skin?

Who in the world was this guy, and why was he asking Haru so many questions?
