The Dragons in the Mountains

        Everblight looks up at the Soul Emerald of Asphyxious with a brief hum, “Wonder how Asphyxious is doing...it would be a real shame if he got hurt.” Watching as Twilight stomps into the room, Everblight couldn’t help the raised eyeridge, “Umm...is everything alri-”

        “Oh! So you’re finally back now huh!” flames flicker from the mare’s mane as Twilight glares at the dragon, “When was the last bucking time you actually considered talking to another dragon instead of manipulating?!”

        “Hey now, Spike was perfectly alright with the plan and-,” flinching as Twilight throws a ballista arrow between his legs, Everblight swallows the lump in his throat, “...you want to talk to Asphy?! That normally makes you happy!..right?”

        “Oh yes, I want you to summon him,” tapping a hand on her hip, she gains a savage smirk, “and you’re going to tell him why you want him to eat Toruk’s anthanc so badly.”

        The pair look at each other before the dragon gives a weary sigh, “I...was going to tell him after we dealt with the last Lich. But very well, he should know.” Grabbing the Soul Emerald, Everblight pinch the bridge of his muzzle, “Asphyxious...do you have a moment? There’s something I should tell you…something I should have already told you.”

“Okay you’re in luck, I was about to be dragged away by Luna and Twilight.” Asphyxious replied.

        Watching as Asphyxious arrives, Everblight nervously paces back and forth. Before the dragolich could say anything, Everblight motion to Twilight, “How have you been?! You look healthy and your blight feels more controlled. Have you been eating alri-”

“Everblight, you’re stalling,” giving the dragon a deadpan, the mare spins another ballista bolt with her magic before giving the dragolich a kind smile, “how have you been though Asphyxious?”

Asphyxious looked between them a little confused but shrugs it off. “I’ve been good, apart from my kids driving me crazy. Met some dragons who didn’t want to kill me, and a dragon who did. Flurry was almost kidnaped by cryx but apart from that I've been good.”

        “I’ve could have told you about crazy kids,” giving the dragolich a hug and a kiss on the cheek, Twilight walks from the room after glaring at Everblight, “when he’s done, come see me. We can go fighting or tease Pinkie Pie over her new coltfriend.”

Asphyxious watched as Twilight left before crossing his arms and looks back at Everblight. “Okay what did you do to make her mad?” He asked giving the larger dragon a look.

        “Spike got a little hurt when we were fighting the other dragon groups. Don’t worry, he’s fine but...you best sit down for this,” laying on the ground, Everblight sighs before looking over at Asphyxious, “have you ever wonder why I seem so fixated with you being the one to eat Toruk heartstone?”

“I didn’t before, but I do now.” Asphyxious replied giving Everblight a glare. “What were you up to?”

        Squinting briefly before shaking his head, Everblight digs his claws into the ground, “I figure you already have an inkling of what’s going on. Beings here knowing who you are, the similarities between some of the species. But like someone said before ‘It’s best to just rip it off like a band-aid.”

        “Asphyxious, when I got Displaced it wasn’t as Everblight,” nodding to his body, Everblight ready for Asphyxious’s reaction, “I was Displaced as Toruk.”

Asphyxious stared at him for a moment, he blinked at this before looking off to one side. Before turning back to him. “Okay, one why call yourself Everblight? Two why didn’t you tell me?” He asked, the dragolich was oddly calm about hearing this news.

        “Because I am Everblight!” gnashing his fangs together, Everblight takes a deep breath before letting it out, “Okay, short story or long version?”

“Long, I want to know all the details.” Asphyxious asked setting down and looking up at Everblight.

        “When I first arrived here, I or rather my soul was Toruk. Everything was fine until me and Faust, my incredibly hot alicorn sister wanted to create life,” motion around, Everblight let’s an annoyed expression cross his face, Asphyxious was smiling at him. “I was all for it...but the part that I had to continuously suppress didn’t like that fact! So me and the true personality of Toruk fought once more...but this time I lost.”

          “I get it now, two minds one body. I meet a displaced like that. So let me guess, Toruk being Toruk wanted to make more dragons?” Asphyxious asked.

        “Not at first. At first he wanted to kill everything that existed before forcing himself on Faust,” not even looking at Asphyxious, Everblight nods his head, “and yes, I was disgusted with that too. It was only after she and her creations fought him to current day cryx, that he tried to make his own army. Made every reptilian creature until he split his anthanc to make us.”

“Everblight, after hearing this. I have one thing to say.” Asphyxious said as he get up and walks over to the larger dragon. “You just gave me even more reason to kill this bastard.” He added with a evil smile.

        “...good to know,” giving a tired sigh, Everblight flares his wings out to get rid of the brief dull pain, “anyways, back to the story. So once Toruk began splitting himself apart, I bid my time until I latched onto the developing Everblight. Eventually turn my siblings against Toruk and then we and all others sealed Toruk onto his island.” Waving his claw around, Everblight waits for Asphyxious’s reaction, “Eventually, I had an...idea to destroy Toruk once and for all. I thought it would never work until you literally fell on my head some millennia ago...and that is when you met Sarge and I those you through the still open wormhole.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about?” Asphyxious replied looking confused. “But whatever, what happened next?”

        “I actually talked to Twilight about how you wouldn’t have been able to remember going to another plane,” rising up, Everblight waves his claw around, “but you as you are don’t act like how you did which leads to two possibility.” Sighing, Everblight clears his throat, “At first I truly did think that it was a second Asphyxious but since your blight signature is exactly the same, this could only mean that it was during a time when you were being controlled by the original Asphyxious.”

Asphyxious stared at Everblight like he was crazy. “Dude, I was displaced as Asphyxious. I was never controlled by anyone, and if what you’re saying is true. Shouldn’t I be living here not in my Equestria?” He asked.

        “Remember, I threw Asphyxious back into the wormhole,” looking Asphyxious in the eye, Everblight shrugs his shoulders, “and although some beings can copy another’s blight to a lesser degree, none have the exact same.”

          “But I didn’t get my blight until a shard of everblight was in my body while the elements was used on me.” Asphyxious explained rubbing his eye. “Wait, you said he came through a wormhole right?”

        Rolling his eyes, Everblight flicks Asphyxious across the back of his head, “Idiot. Listen closely to what I’m about to say, Everything has a blight signature. It’s not just dragonspawns and dragons that do. Most other creatures don’t realize this. Why do you think that some members of the same species don’t look blighted while others are?”

“I ask that question everyday I live with my diamond dogs.” Asphyxious replied thinking about that. “By all rights they should be blighted by me being there, but they don’t look it.”

        “Diamond dogs and Timberwolves are the result of the Argus splitting into two separate races. As Argus already are creatures of the blight, they can’t be affected,” Everblight shrugs at the smaller dragolich.

        “Well whatever, you done with your story or is there more?” Asphyxious asked crossing his arms.

        “Just one thing,” placing a hand on Asphyxious’s shoulder, Everblight gives him a grave face, “if  any other dragon besides you eat Toruk’s anthanc, then all dragons will fuse back to form a new and more powerful Toruk...but no pressure!”

         Asphyxious just stare at him before faceclaw. “It one thing after another. Anything else or can I go?” Asphyxious asked as he get up.

        “Hurry up and go, Twilight wants to go on her date while me and Ember are um….rekindling some of our favorite foreplay.”

        “Kinky.” Asphyxious said before laughing as he walked out. “Don’t forget the wipe!”

        “Is Everblight talking about sex again,” Twilight looks up as Asphyxious walks out, a newspaper in her hands, One page read new Dragon god cult. “I wonder how they can have that much sex and not get bored?”

“It a dragon thing, but to be fair I was given paramount blue balls by a goddess so I can’t really say.” Asphyxious replied as he held out his hand to Twilight. “Shall we?”

        “Sure, Pinkie Pie wants to join us on our date,” taking the hand and letting the dragolich pull her up, Twilight tilts her head making her reading glasses slide down her nose, “do you remember Moose?”

“Maybe a little... Not really.” Asphyxious said before giving Twilight a kiss on the lips. “And those glasses make you look cute.”

        “Moose is the reindeer in blue armor that had the talking bow,” smirking at Asphyxious, Twilight shakes her head at the memory, “I still can’t believe that his brother is married to one of Applejack’s cousins.”

“The world is a big place.” Asphyxious added, as he lead her down the hall. “So where is Pinkie and her boyfriend? That sounds so strange for me to say.”

        Suddenly, two pairs of hands grabs Twilight around her arms, “ZUUL, MUTHERBUCKER! ZUUL!” As Twilight gives a yelp, Pinkie Pie and a reindeer standing at seven feet in height collapsed in laughter.

        “By the pits, you two!*hiccup* You almost gave me a heart*hiccup*attack!” shaking her head as the two continue laughing, Twilight gives Asphyxious a deadpan, “do you*hiccup* see what I have to deal*hiccup* with all the damn time!”

“Well, My Pinkie not that bad.” Asphyxious said as he smiled at Twilight then hugs her. “Now calm down and relax.” He purred into Twilight ear before softly biting the end of her ear.

        An arrow clips Asphyxious on the ear as a dull masculine voice sounds out, “Unless you wish to propose to her sooner and go against all courtship laws, teeth and hands away from Miss Sparkle’s face.”

Asphyxious blinked at this before looking to who said that, a bow with blue flashing runes all over it. “Friends of yours?” He asked Twilight.

“Well you know Pinkie Pie but this is Moose,” motioning to the tall reindeer, she motions to the bow that has a small avatar next to it, “and his bow...Whiskers.”        

“Little rude aren’t they?” Asphyxious asked as he let Twilight go.

        “Moose is unable to fire his bow. The bow is able to auto fire and has it’s own,” looking at the pair, Twilight gives a confused expression towards Pinkie, “A.I?”

        “Yepperoni,” even as she says such, Pinkie Pie face scrunch into one of confusion before looking at the bow, “but...I kind of forgot what the A stan-”

        “Artificial,” the bow gives a deadpan, somehow, towards the two ponies and the reindeer.

        Moose looks at the bow before briefly giving it a nervous chuckle, “Umm, Whiskers. I know that you hate it when I do it but...what does the I stands fo-”

          “Inteligenes.” Asphyxious added without a second thought. Everyone looked  at him. “What? I’ve meet A.I. before, hell one of my wives is a robot dragon.”

        The avatar looks at Asphyxious with a raised eyebrow before crossing its arms, “Acceptable. This A.I. of the United Ungulated Confederacy of Equestria is designated as W-842...also known as Whiskers.”

“Cool, say if you need any upgrades I know a guy.” Asphyxious asked with a smile. “I’m sure you’ll find his token at some point, can’t miss it falling from the sky.”

        “Regulation 34 of the UUCE states all upgrades must be from an accredited company,” briefly the beezie avatar gives the dragolich a shy smile before going back to a serious face, “but it will be greatly...appreciated.”

        “Yeah, Whiskers been wanting to get an upgrade since his old body was destroyed,” Moose smiles at Asphyxious before holding a hand out, “it’s nice to see you again. My brother said that you ate the really, really mean dragon.”

“Maybe? I’ve ran into a lot of dragons.” Asphyxious replied shaking his hand. “So where are we going now?”

        “Well, we’re*hiccup*going to the Crystal Empire,” Twilight said with a pout as Pinkie Pie giggle behind her hand, Asphyxious meanwhile was rubbing Twilight back to try and help. “there’s suppose to be a new restaurant that sells authentic old style Diamond Dog food there.”

“Cool, if they’re anything like my clan back home. We’re in for a good meal.” Asphyxious said with a smile.

        “Come on *hiccup*then, we finally got enough money to have portals set up in Ponyville,” taking a step forward, Twilight stops before looking at Whiskers, “and Whiskers, code 5233154.”

        “Code acknowledged. This unit will not shoot Miss Twilight’s date if she wishes to kiss, hold or forni-”

        “OKAY! That’s enough Whiskers,” an atomic blush burns its way onto Twilight’s face as she heads to a room filled with five turquoise colored portals. Looking at Asphyxious, Twilight gives a nervous laugh, “Is this your first time going through a portal that atomizes and fling you through space and time so that you arrive at your designation in mere milliseconds?”

“Yeah, but I made teleporter crystals back home to help get around. Want me to hold your hand?” Asphyxious asked holding his hand out to her.

        “Oh, I didn’t know that you had teleporters...how painful are yours?” deciding to place her hand on his, she glares at Pinkie Pie and Moose as they dive head first into the center most portal.

“First times are more dizzy then painful. But you get used to it, like riding a ship. Once you get used to it you don’t get sea sick anymore.” Asphyxious replied before his tail wrapped around her and held her hand a little tighter. “First step always the hardest. Ready?”

        “...just so you know, your portals seem to be much safer than ours,” squeezing her eyes shut, she walks into the portal.

           “Bloody hell!” Asphyxious yelled as soon as they walked out of the portal. “What the hell is wrong with this thing!? I feel like someone stuck wasps in my insides!”

        “Yeah, give it a moment,” magic radiates around her as Twilight fires a dampening spells at Asphyxious, “these portals have a bad habit of affecting magic users like that...but that what you’ll get when a earth pony makes something magical.”

“They need to stick a warning on this thing. I spent weeks testing my crystals before putting them in use.” Asphyxious said rubbing his head. “I’m okay now, so where is this place?” Feeling Twilight moves his head slightly to the right, he sees a huge restaurant with the image of an Argus standing next to a griffin.

“Oh, it’s big.” Asphyxious said with his tail still around Twilight making her blush a little.

        “From what I felt the last time we were somewhere together, that’s not the only big thing around here,” watching as several crystal ponies trip over their hooves, she smirks at Asphyxious, “now that the eavesdroppers are thoroughly embarrassed, shall we? It looks like Pinkie Pie and Moose are getting impatient.”

“You just wanted to make me blush didn’t you?” Asphyxious asked as they walked over. “I love that about you.”

        Leaning onto him, Twilight makes certain that Asphyxious could feel her breast brush on his arm, “Is that the only thing you love about me?” Asphyxious blushed a little and smiled down at her.

“Not at all, I love your knowledge, your ability to fight and that cute little thing you do when reading a book.” He replied smiling warmly at her.

        As Twilight blushes, Pinkie Pie rolls her eyes before giving a stage whisper to Moose, “Why do unicorns have to be sooo prude when it comes to courtship?”

        “I think it’s something in the ‘water’ they drink,” giving Pinkie Pie a smirk, Moose shakes his head at the pair, “why can’t they just go on a hunt together and get married?”

“I’ll ask her that once I know she ready for it.” Asphyxious replied so both Pinkie and Mosse can hear him. “I’ll also need to inform the others about Twilight here so they know about her. So we going inside or waiting out here?”

        Looking over, Twilight smiles as Cadance and Shining Armor waves them over, “Oh there’s our seats! I wonder how they’ve been?”

“Want me to give you a spoiler?” Asphyxious asked with a big smile. “Or do you want to wait for the surprise?”

        “If the surprise is anything like that bitch!..I will gladly want the spoiler,” blinking before smiling, Twilight looks over at Asphyxious, “or I’ll just guess it has something to do with the rather large baby bump.”

Asphyxious laughed at this before grinning. “Awww you beat me to it.” He said playfully patting her leg with his tail.

        “Yeah I gu-” stopping mid sentence, Twilight looks over at Moose, “what do you mean going on a hunt?”

        Blinking as Twilight looks in his direction, Moose crouches behind Pinkie Pie, “Yeah, whenever two reindeer want to get married, they will go out and hunt a great animal. If they succeed they’re married. If not, then they stay apart.”

Asphyxious gave Moose a huge grin. “So you’ve been hunting with Pinkie for how long now?” He asked with a evil glint in his eye. As they walked over to there table.

        “He’s not allowed to take me hunting yet,” a pout crosses over Pinkie’s lips as she curls her hand around Moose’s, “he has to finish the Earth Pony’s courtship first.”

“Huh interesting.” Asphyxious replied before looking at Twi as he pulled out her chair for her. “So what the unicorn courtship like?”

        “We unicorns’ have to know that our future spouse are actually compatible with us,” Shining Armor smirks at Asphyxious while Cadance smiles at him, “thus you must at the very least be able to defeat a level ten beast without using our magic.”

        “Yes. For instance,” standing out with a puffed out chest, she ignores many males’ wandering glances, “I had defeated and killed a Griffonian Thrashclaw!” Looking at Asphyxious, her face slowly turns into one of awkward before she clears her throat, “You...have no clue what that is, do you.”

“Nope, took on a War Hog once that had Fire powers. I mean it mane was on fire and all. Also talked about bbqs.” Asphyxious replied smiling at that. “I also took on Dragonspawns, Farrows, mutant zombies. Took over the deathjack itself, and became king of the diamond dogs. But hey no big deal, not my idea to be there king anyway.” Asphyxious said like this was a weekly thing for him. “Also killed a dragon. So what on the menu?”

        “I heard that the Swine haggis is good,” Twilight says while looking through the menu, “then there’s the Slingtail roast and Ponyville Umpire Specialty.”

Asphyxious slowly looks at her. “I… Think I’ll try something else.” He said looking at the menu. “Oh this looks interesting, reminds me of the stuff my cook makes. What the gem star special?”

        “The Gem Star Special is...actually it’s best not to think about what is in it,” shuddering to herself, Cadance focuses back on her menu, “it’s best to simply eat what you know will taste good.”

        “She’s mad because of the slingtail in it,” shaking his head, Shining looks over at the diamond dog walking to their table, “Waiter, can I have the Slingtail roast with a cup of hard cider?”

        “Certainly, how cooked?”

        “Medium rare,” watching as the diamond dog turns towards Asphyxious, Shining Armor smiles at Cadance.

“I’ll try this, Bull Bear Pork steak. How does something with a name like that have pork in it?” Asphyxious asked reading more things off the menu.

        “We get big bear pig from Changeling’s territory,” the diamond dog smiles at Asphyxious before going back to its notepad, “anything to drink? How do you want it cooked?”

“Well done and water for me please.” Asphyxious replied, before nodding his head to the diamond dog.

“It’s the same type of animal that Tiberion told you to feed to your warbeast remember,” looking up as the diamond dog, Twilight taps the table, “I’ll like Swine chops as well as a helping of Undertown fries. Also, can you bring some mead? Cause I’ve been meaning to try some of the diamond dog’s brew since your people makes the best.”

        “Certainly and thank you, how do you want your swine chops?” the diamond dog smiles at the unicorn.

        “Well done,” tapping her side, Twilight smile lessens a little, “ever since I had kids, I can’t have meat the same way anymore.”

        “That’s so sad,” look at Moose, Pinkie Pie nods before looking at the diamond dog, “In torka mulda. Foou tork grind?”

        The diamond dog blinks as several others look over with surprised looks, “Inpad?”

        “Lokts,” smiling at the diamond dog, Pinkie looks at her gaping fellows, “what? Do I have something on my face?” Asphyxious shrugs before reading more of the menu.

        “Pinkie Pie, since when could you speak old diamond dog,” giving the Earth pony mare suspicious eyes, Twilight looks over at Moose, “how are you able to understand a single word?!”

Moose shrugs his shoulders, “Yeah, all species who use to be under Everblight understand each of the old languages...didn’t you know that?”

“THAT DOESN’T EXPLAIN HOW PINKIE PIE KNOWS OLD DIAMOND DOG?!” covering her mouth, Twilight gives a nervous laugh, “sorry about that.”

“It Pinkie Pie don’t question it.” Asphyxious replied before giving Twilight a hug. “Trust me on this.”

Giving the grinning mare a glare, Twilight sinks into her chair, “What did you order?”

“The Argus Special,” not paying any of the others any attention, Pinkie Pie leans back in her chair, “it’s the best thing that every diamond dog knows how to cook at birth.”

Asphyxious just slowly looks at Twilight when Pinkie said this. “She knows what a Argus is right?” He asked bluntly.

        “Everyone knows what an argus is,” Twilight smile at the dragolich before motioning to the diamond dog, “remember, they're the ancestors of diamond dogs and timberwolves.”

“Right sorry I keep forgetting.” Asphyxious said before looking at Twilight tail from where his setting.

“And what the princess like?” the diamond dog smile at Cadance as she brings down the menu.

“Swine haggis with water,” watching as the diamond dog walks off, Cadance turns to Moose, “you didn't order.”

“Pinkie Pie ordered for me,” watching as the holographic breezie jumps on the table, Moose frowns slightly, “sorry Whiskers, I still have no clue how to help you eat food.”

“Regrettable but acknowledged,” sitting in an empty teapot, the A.I. hums to himself. Asphyxious reaches out and try to pet Whiskers on the head. Before his claw got to close, the bow levitates with an arrow pointing at Asphyxious, “Please desist from such attempts.”

“But you looked so cute.” Asphyxious said before pulling his hand away. “I just want to pet you, your little, cute and cuddly.”

The A.I. gives the dragolich a deadpan before crossing his arms, “I am not my sister C-26689.” Asphyxious roll his eye before moving his tail to Twilight's tail.

Giving a near quiet squeak, Twilight looks at Cadance with a smirk, “So Cadance, how many kids are you going to have?” Asphyxious smiles with Twilight as he slowly wraps his tail around her’s.

“I bet it's going to be two,” Pinkie tilts her head towards Shining Armor, “every creature knows that their family has a large amount of children.”

Moose shakes his head, “I'm going with her...with both of them being unicorns.”

“Well I say three with one unicorn and two pegasi,” crossing her arms, Twilight leans into Asphyxious with a shy smile.

“I like to be surprised.” Asphyxious said before returning the smile back at Twilight. The way they was looking at each other they could almost kiss.

The sound of a throat being clear makes the others look at Whiskers as his eyes flash purple before going back to light blue, “They are having twins. One looks to be an unicorn, the other is an alicorn.”

As the others stare with dropped jaws, Cadance gives Shining Armor a smile, “Told you that this would happen.”

“Welp, looks like I’m paying,” letting his head touch down, Shining Armor frowns at his laughing wife and sister. Asphyxious just said nothing as a Diamond dog came over with their order.

Each order is placed carefully in front of each of them. Before anyone could move, the lights are dimmed as four diamond dogs walk over with a giant platter with everything from a slingtail to a bugbear on it. Almost reverently, it was placed before Pinkie Pie and Moose before an old diamond dog with a second head walks out, “Your order...IS SERVED!”

With a final ring of the gong, the lights flicker revealing only their waiter, “Will there be anything else?”

“Ummm, I think I’ll try some of that mead Twilight ordered.” Asphyxious asked staring at all the food.

Giving the dragolich a understanding smile, the diamond dog nods before placing the bottle down, “I'll just leave this here ok?” Asphyxious nods his head in thanks. Before everyone began their meal.


“I feel so full.” Asphyxious said as he drank some mead. He looked at everyone before he needed to get up. “I’ll be back just going to use the bathroom.” He said before walking off.

Once Asphyxious was done with nature calling. He let out a loud burp. “Never thought I could eat so much.” He said to himself after washing his hands. Asphyxious was about to leave until something covers his eye. Asphyxious didn’t say anything as he slowly reached up and moved the hand away, he turned around to find it was Twilight.

“Hey Asphyxious,” leaning into the dragolich, she kisses him deeply while brushing a hand against his arm, “you enjoyed the meal?”

“Yes I did.” Asphyxious replied as he returned her kisses and rests his hands on her hips. He let out a moan as they kissed. “What did you have in mind?”

“Usually, this would be where I warn you that you'd have to get my parents’ permission to declare the courtship over,” wrapping her arms around the dragolich’s neck, Twilight smiles seductively at him, “but they seem to think that we already know their answer.”

Asphyxious hands fondled Twilight flank as he stared into her eyes. “I see, so the question is do you want to do it here?” He asked giving her a love bite on the neck. Twilight gasps as the feeling of his lips on her neck.

Pinkie Pie slams the door open with a spray bottle a sprites the two, “NONE OF THAT! This is still rated T you two! Now go home so we can get back to the story!”

Asphyxious blinked as his covered in silly string, before looking at Twilight. “So… We go home then?” He asked like nothing happened.

“I rather that than getting Pinkie mad,” enveloping them in her magic, she teleports them into her room while simultaneously changing her clothes into those of a sexy doctor, “now, let's see what is wrong mister.”

Asphyxious was laying on the bed and smiled at Twilight. “My heart racing and I feel hot.” He replied purring softly at Twilight.

“Oh dear, then there's not much time to lose,” pushing the dragolich back, Twilight gives him a hungry smile, “you just lay back and let Doctor Sparkle take care of you.”

“Yes Doctor Sparkle.” Asphyxious replied as his hands fundle her flank again. Twilight could feel the heat coming from his body. “I’m all yours.” He said before she lent down and kissed him deeply.

[Next day]

        Twilight blinks her eyes slowly before a smile dance over her face as she recalls last night. Asphyxious let out deep rumbles as he sleeps next to her. Hearing the door to her room, Twilight looks as her mother looks into the room, “Twilight dear, what was with all that noise last night? It almost sound like you were fighting a dragon.”

Asphyxious at this point slowly lift his head and yawns, before blinking slowly. He looks around the room before laying his head back down on Twilight lap.

Looking at her mother, Twilight runs a hand over the dragolich’s neck, “That’s one word for it. Did the kids do anything wrong last night?”

        “Oh nothing illegal,” smiling to herself, Velvet turns away from the door, “best of luck my dear and if he tries to hurt you-”

        “I know, I know,” rolling her eyes, Twilight throws one of Spike’s old pillows at the older mare, “cut his member off and make a sandwich out of it.” As the door swing close gently, Twilight looks at Asphyxious, “Are you even really asleep?”

Asphyxious let out a purr before licking his lips. “Tenderloin sandwich…” He said in his sleep. Before rolling on his back like a dog.

        “Lo and behold, the great and powerful Asphyxious. King of the diamond dogs and ruiner of days,” smirking as the sound of hooves, Twilight brings up her left hand while counting down, “and his one weakness?”

The door burst open as two small unicorns fillies jump onto the bed. Bouncing up and down on the dragolich, Asphyxious let out a yell as he fell out of bed, they begin chanting, “We got a daddy~We got a daddy~”

“Okay… Okay, I’m up. I’m up, give me a moment to wake up and eat something?” Asphyxious asked still half asleep trying to find his cloths. Before tripping over something and landing on the floor.

As the two girls burst out laughing, Twilight rolls her eyes and grabbed them both with her magic, “Okay you two. Go tell Gran-Gran to get breakfast ready.” As the two rush out the room, Twilight helps Asphyxious off the floor before brushing imaginary dust off of him, “Come on. You don’t need clothes when you’re at the house.”

“I still like wearing clothes.” Asphyxious complained only managing to put on some underwear. He was still half asleep so it wasn’t hard to lead him around.

“Prude,” leading Asphyxious downstairs, Twilight smiles at Night Light while he reads the newspaper, “morning dad! What’s new?”

“There’s an increase in childbirth recently,” looking up, Night Light raise an eyebrow at the two, “so what do you want for breakfast?”

“Rice pudding…” Asphyxious mumbled still wiping the sleep from his eye. “Haven’t had it for ages…”

Rolling his eyes, Night Light gives an amused snort, “Maybe what you really want is some more cream p-”

“MOM, DAD IS TEASING MY MAN!”

“NIGHT LIGHT STOP TEASING TWILIGHT’S MAN!”

“YES DEAR! I’LL STOP TEASING SPARKLES’S MAN!” giving Twilight a mock glare, he almost fails to hold back a laugh, “I never taught you to snitch.”

“Nope, mom did,” walking out the room, Sparkle smiles at Velvet, “thanks mom.”

“No problem but I have to ask, didn’t he have enough cream pie last night?” laughing as her daughter’s face turns scarlet, Velvet looks over to Asphyxious, “Well young man?”

“Hungry…” Asphyxious groans as he rested his chin on the table. “Tired…”

“Well you two were at it until three hours ago,” walking, Night Light gives Velvet a kiss on the cheek before setting the table, “so what did you make?”

“I’ve made hash brown, several different eggs, sausages, bacon, pancakes, waffles and yes,” sliding a bowl in front of the dragolich, Velvet gives him a warm smile, “rice pudding.”

Asphyxious slowly reached out with a spoon before putting it in the bowl and stucking it in his mouth. His eye went wide as he froze in place.

        “Sweety, are you alright,” as Twilight waves a hand in front of his face, Night Light begins counting down to the amusement of the twins.

“I just remember something… My mum used to make this when I was a small child when I was sick… Oh god, how could I forget something like that?” Asphyxious asked as tears ran down his face. He put a hand over his face as he shudders. As he shakes, Twilight and the twins squeeze him in comfort while projecting positive emotions to Asphyxious.

He looked down at them and smiled. “I’m okay… Just, didn’t expect to remember something from my past like that. I thought I forgot everything.” Asphyxious explained as he took the bowl and started eating more. “It’s really good.” He said with a smile and teary eye.

        “Old family recipe,” smiling kindly at the dragolich, Velvet brings over a second bowl while everyone makes their plates, “yup, it was worth every single soul.”

Asphyxious blinked as he had the spoon in his mouth and had the other bowl in his hand. He stare at them for a moment before shrugging and go back to eating.

        Twilight places a plate with a lot of meat and eggs in front of the dragolich before taking the rest of the rice pudding away, “You need to eat normal food as well. So eat or no more rice pudding for you.”

“You’re evil.” Asphyxious replied before poking his tongue out at her, the twins laughed as he eats the other food on the table.

        “I’m an Element of Harmony,” crossing her arms under her chest, she smiles as her breast bounce up and down, “that doesn’t exactly means I have to be good...just against disorder.”

“This is why I love you.” Asphyxious said with a smile as he pulls her into a hug.

        “Aw~thank you...but you’re not getting the rest of the pudding until you finish. I can see those sausage links,” keeping the pudding out of reach with her magic, Twilight smirks at the dragolich.

“I can not see them, there for they’re not there.” Asphyxious replied playfully turning his head away with his eye closed.

Grinning to herself, Twilight takes one of the three remaining sausages before slowly and sensually eating one with lots of moaning, “Are you sure? Cause they taste sooo good~!” Asphyxious noticed this and watched as she eats one.

“You’re so bad.” He said before eating one of the sausages. “Now the question is what do we do with the last one?”

        Raising an eyebrow, Twilight picks up the last one before putting it between her teeth. Poking Asphyxious with the other end, she waits for him to take his portion. Asphyxious smiled as he opened his mouth and took the other end, his teeth easily slicing into it. As the pair got closer, Twilight wraps her tongue around Asphyxious’s before bringing him in for a kiss. Asphyxious purred into the kiss as they stayed like that for a while.

        Feeling as something taps his side, Asphyxious looks down as Twilight places the rice pudding down on the table, “Now you can finish.”

“Thank you.” He replied smiling as he drinks what left. “You know, maybe you should come to my Equestria some time. I’m sure Pupa will love to know she has two more sisters.”

        “But then I would feel bad about Everblight being here,” sighing more to herself, Twilight leans into Asphyxious as she feels the heat radiate off of him, “now that everything is said and done, I feel more sad for him than actual anger. Think what it must have felt like to be constantly watching as his body is forced to obey some strange power, never able to even ask for help from your loved ones as they think you become slowly more and more evil...and then seeing your body sealed away or dead.”

“I think I can understand. I was sealed away for nine hundred years. In the dark, alone no light, just me. I went all but insane and forgot who I was, all I could do was hold on to who I was pretending to be. But I tried to not forgot who I was, just my name my past and my memories. All so I could survive in that hell…Being locked away like that damages the mind in away no one can fully understand.” Asphyxious explained as he hugs Twilight.

“But you never had to watch as your body ruined everything that you and your sibling have made,” shaking her head, Twilight nuzzle into Asphyxious as tears stream down her eyes, “you both have lost your memories, but Everblight doesn’t even know who he was before this happened...the sad part is that even now that he doesn’t have to try and commit suicide, he has no idea what to do.” Asphyxious held her closer and thought about that.

“I’ll see what I can do, I maybe able to help. I got a friend or two who can look into this.” Asphyxious said wiping her eyes. “Now come on, we’ve had a cry and got all our sad feelings out. Let just get up and help that big goon.”

        “...Yeah,” rising up from her position, Twilight glance between Asphyxious and the clock, “...do you think he’ll be mad if we were a little late? I mean, we do need to shower...and it’s so hard getting certain places.”

“He didn’t tell me we had to meet up anytime soon.” Asphyxious replied with a smile and picks her up. Before taking her to the bathroom.

[One “shower” later]

“You could have just said you wanted to be alone with me.” Asphyxious purred into Twilight ear as he helped dry off her tail.

“Hey now, you were just as into that as I was,” giving the dragolich a mock glare, Twilight gives him a kiss on the cheek, “so...what’s your Equestria like?”

“It… Well the best way I can say it is lively. Most of the time things are okay, but you get the odd crazy week now and then. Also I may have weddin plans, if you’d like to join in.” Asphyxious replied smiling at Twilight.

        Looking at Asphyxious, Twilight blinks twice before tilting her head in curiosity, “So your Equestria still has legalise herds too?”

“As far as I know yes, but let say I kind of want out of control with my hoarding. Then once things calmed down, well I wanted to settle down.” Asphyxious answered as he hugs her.

        Giving Asphyxious a deadpan, Twilight begins placing her clothes on, “Oh sweet Faust’s tits! Not even young dragonspawns seems to be as horny as you!”

“Like I keep saying, you can thank Ava for that.” He replied before getting dressed to. “On the bright side, my hoards not as big as it used to be.”

“Hmm...before we head out, I’m getting my armor on. Nothing against you, I’m just...being careful,” walking back to her room, Twilight gives Asphyxious a smile while looking back, “you mind grabbing Bright Dusk and Dawn Star?”

“Not at all, I’d be happy to.” Asphyxious replied as he went off to get the twins.

        Bright Dusk looks deeply into her younger sister’s two color eyes while pulling the sundress over her, “Dawn Star, we really need to talk to mama about getting our first set of full armor.”

        “Bright Dusk, we are not going to war,” pushing her older sister off with a smirk, Dawn Star turns to their closet before putting on her favorite black shoes, “we’re just going to another dimension...that still sounds weird.”

“No, what’s weird is the fact that we and the Cake twins are physically as old as the Cutie Mark Crusaders,” Bright Dusk pulls out two daggers before handing the blue hilted one to Dawn Star and straping her yellow hilted one on the side of her blue jean short, “I mean...how did that happened?”

        “Remember sis, Miss Glimmer used to be a complete and utter bitch,” Dawn Star gives Bright Dusk a deadpan that looks just like the one Twilight gives people when they’re being stupid, “Miss Glimmer was trying to age us to the point where we would be as old as Granny Smith!”

        Just then Asphyxious swing the door open and steps in. “She did what!” He roared making the twins jump.

        Looking between themselves, Dawn Star gives Bright Dusk a glare, “You know that I blame you. NOPE, don’t care if I said it!..your fault.” Looking at her new dad, Dawn Star throws a pillow at the dragolich’s head, “And Papa Drag, relax...mama already rearranged her DNA structure and Starlight Glimmer is already turning over a new leaf.”

“Yeah Daddy, just think about the benefit of what she did,” waving at the pair, Bright Dusk gives the dragolich a beaming smile, “for one, you can understand us now. And two, no more changing diapers!”

“Well okay, anyway get ready your mum told me to make sure you was ready to go. Also what did Twilight do to Starlight?” Asphyxious asked after the pillow fell off his face.

        “Oh not much,” Dawn Star throws a bunch of clothes around before rising up with two dark purple breastplates and passing one to her sister, “just transform her into the only known male fluffy pony before throwing her into the Badlands...the sound of that orgy could be heard for day!”

        “Oh before we forget,” opening their closet, Bright Dusk pulls out a teal furred fluffy pony, “mama told us that you wanted to send one of these to Ava...I only have one question.”

“Why?” Asphyxious said as if that was Dusk question. “One I wanted to see the look on her face, Two because it would be funny.”

        “Oh no, I just wanted to know how funny it will be when this Ava realizes that she has a specie that can populate faster than even deities could kill them off,” handing the taller pony to her dad, she gives a heartwarming smile.

“Oh this is too good, Maybe I should send her to Ava as a gift and see what happens.” Asphyxious asked as he held the fluffy pony then started to laugh malicay.

        “I see that you three are getting along well,” as Twilight walks into the room with her armor gleaming, she gives the two fillies a smirk, “still trying to drive deities to tears?”

        “Like you wouldn’t believe,” as the pair give each other a high five, Dawn Star gives Asphyxious a nervous smile, “but um...dad, can you help tie the back of my breastplate on?”

“Sure, can’t be that hard.” Asphyxious replied putting the fluffle pony down and helps Dawn.

“Alright, so the girls are ready and mom, dad and Spike are going to watch the castle,” tapping her chin, Twilight looks at Asphyxious with a smile, “is there anything else that we need? I already have suitcase prepared and waiting at Everblight’s cavern...hopefully he and Ember aren’t still mating.”

“If they are I can always just make them jump and walk in first.” Asphyxious said with a smile as he sent the Fluffle Pony off to another world. “Don’t worry, mum will be looking after her on the dead world until I’m ready to send her to Ava.”

“The last dragon that interrupted their private time died mere milliseconds upon arrival,” Twilight gives Asphyxious a deadpan before opening a portal, “I rather that your anthanc remains in you then used as flashlight for them.”

“Okay, point taken.” Asphyxious said before picking up the twins. “Ready to go where no mare has gone before?” he asked them before they jumped down.

“No, we’re ready to go where apparently all the single mares love to go,” giving a maniacal laugh, Dawn Star rush through the portal.

        “I truly hope that they’re ready for the madness that is my sister,” sarcasm drip off of Bright Dusk’s tongue as she walks calmly through the portal.

“Doctors first~” Asphyxious said in a teasing tone at Twilight.

        Giving the dragolich a deadpan, Twilight pushes Asphyxious through the portal, “Sorry, have to be the last one~”

Asphyxious found himself on top of something big, and it was breathing. Two things came to his mind as he did not move. One was Ava and the other was dragon. “Please don’t wake up…” He asked hoping nothing bad would happen.

        “Too late for that,” shaking her head, Ember smirk as Asphyxious falls off of her head as Everblight gives a brief chuckle, “those two helions have a bad habit of being able to wake up the dead without necromancy.”

“I’d say they get it from me but, well you know.” Asphyxious said and smiled at the twins as they ran up to him. “What have you two been doing hmm?”

        “Oh you know, the usual,” flaring his wings, Everblight sighs as they give several loud crack before he nips Ember’s head crest, “sex, sleep, sex, eat, more sex...you know the usual that a dragon in control of his body would do to his mate/mates.” Looking down, Everblight gives Asphyxious a grin, “And I see somedrake got lucky~”

“Say no more, my kids are here.” Asphyxious asked before seeing Twilight walk out of a portal.

        “They’ve heard worst things from when Rarity met up with Prince Blueblood,” shaking her head, Twilight looks up at Everblight, “can you get Asphyxious’s token?”

        “Do I have to worry about you throwing ballista bolts at me,” grabbing the Soul Emerald, Everblight places on the ground before looking at Asphyxious, “so what are you doing this time?”

“Just making things easier for Twilight to get in contact with me. And maybe show them my Equestria at some point.” Asphyxious replied before seeing the twins hugging his legs. “Why are you doing that?”

“Take us with you!” as both twins give Asphyxious large puppy dog’s eyes, they keep chanting the words please. Asphyxious looks at Twilight as they do this.

“They’ll keep doing that until you say yes,” giving a laugh, Twilight grabs the suitcase from behind a boulder, “besides, I already packed just in case we’re force into another dimension.”

“Oh okay, everyone hold on tight. Everblight you know what to do.” Asphyxious said as he put one arm around Twilight. He then wraps his tail around the twins.

        “Alright,” grabbing the token, Everblight forces a portal to open as it pulls the quartet through slowly, “when they’re ready just give me a call. I need to get out more if what Ember said is true.”

“I’ll invite you to the bachelor party!” Asphyxious yelled before being pulled in.

        “Well that’s nice,” a few seconds pass before Everblight blinks and looks at where the portal was with a dropped jaw, “WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! WHAT DOES HE MEANS BACHELOR PARTY!?”
