Chapter Four: The Threat

“Twilight? Where does this book go?” Axel said.

“Second shelf down from the top over there,” she said pointing over to it.

“Thank you,” he said flying up and putting the book back in its proper place.

And then suddenly they heard the sound of screeching dragons outside.

“What in the world of Equestria could be going in out here?” Twilight said once she got out to see the commotion, but what she saw was both terrible and horrible, for there lay a wounded dragon that was beat up and scarred.

“He has come to enslave us all… you have no hope… just run…”

And with that said the dragon very slowly closed its eyes and then died.

“Who would do this? Who would ever dare do this?” Twilight said.

“I don’t know,” he said wiping the tears from her face, “But I will find out who and then I will make them pay, I swear this to you Twilight.”

“You don’t need to do that, and violence is never the answer either.”

“Says the pony who literally went to hell and then back,” he said.

“You make a fair point, but come let us find whoever ‘he’ is now.”

And with that said they followed along the direction of the screeching dragons and as they went along suddenly Pinkie Pie joined along with them now.

“Hey there,” she said very delightfully and cheerfully, “What are you doing?”

“Following these dragons so that we may find out what is causing them to act this way. The only thing that they said was that ‘he’ was coming.”

“Oh that sounds so exciting! But I hate it when authors love to play or use the pronoun game, it’s so annoying trying to guess who every pony is there.”

“Yeah, sure, right,” Twilight said continuing on her way as Pinkie Pie hopped back to town commenting that she had other ponies to get back to now.

Twilight however just said to be safe, and she said that she would always.

And so they went in the direction of the dragons until they found out who ‘he’ was. He stood there with only one hand and had a cloak made out of dragon skin, and when he turned Axel could see that he was 
clearly a human.

“What is that exactly?” Twilight said with shock and surprise looking at him.

“A human, but clearly not a very nice one,” he said growling very angrily.

And with that the human turned to them and smiled.

“Well hello there,” he said, “Join me on my quest or die instead.”

“And what is your quest exactly? Enslave the dragon race?” Twilight said.

“You’re exactly right,” he said, “My name is Drago, and I am here for dragons.”

And with that said he smiled but then suddenly Axel decided to act then.

And with that he launched a very explosive fireball at him and he didn’t have time to react or dodge and 
then it hit him on the chest and instantly killed him.

“That’s what you get for trying to mess with my friends,” he said growling and with that said he turned to Twilight Sparkle with a very warm smile.
