Fluttershy’s POV
Me and Zecora were on our way to the castle I heard large wing flaps above us. Both me and Zecora looked up quick, thinking it was a dragon but to our surprise and relief it was just Daimon flying above us. It looked like he was scouting. I looked over to Zecora but I quickly received an encouraging smile and nod. I smiled back and flew up to meet the flying Demon.
“Hey Daimon!” I shouted as i got in his line of sight. He turned and got on the offensive with his massive fists raised. I panicked and was about to scream until I saw the look of shock on him turn to relief as he lowered his fists. He flew closer to me before speaking.
“Oh, it’s just you. What are you doing out here?” He asked with worry with a small hint of suspicion. It was nice to see he didn’t hate me at least.
“I came here to check on you and apologize. So did Zecora, she’s down their watching.” I said as I pointed down towards Zecora who was busy waving once she saw us acknowledge her. I was happy when I saw Daimon smile bigger and fly down to meet her. Although I wasn’t fond of how he grabbed me and brought me down with him.
“AAAAAAHHHHHH” I screamed as we touched down. I stopped screaming after Daimon, surprisingly gently for his size, grabbed my shoulders and brought me to his face and stared into my eyes with those glowing green eyes of his.
“Eh he he, sorry for scaring you like that. I won’t do it again, promise.” He said with sheepishly. I was shocked and happy of how he acted from just accidentally scaring me.
“It’s alright. I’m just a little timid, that's all.” I reassured him. It seemed to work as he smiled and put me back down.
“What are you two doing here anyway?” He asked with concern. I was going to answer, but Zecora beat me to it.
“We are looking for a drake of purple scales. He left without notice, for young Twilight has told some tales.” She answered in her usual rhyming. Daimon had a look of realization come over him.
“Is this dark perhaps small, has green head fins, and is called Spike?” He asked. My smile got massive before quickly answering.
“Yes, that’s him. Do you know where he is?” I asked with hope. That hope skyrocketed when he nodded.
“Yeah, he was already at that old castle before me and Ornstein got their. He’s really nice too.He didn’t attack us like your friends did.” He said the last part with a little venom. I flinched a little but stayed calm, i knew he had a good reason to be mad.
“Well thanks but we also came to warn you, Twilight is looking for him and I don’t want her to know where you guys are hiding.” I said in worry but was shocked to see Daimon chuckle.
“We already planned for that.” He said without a worry in the world.
I was about to question it until he kneeled down to our level.
“C’mon i’ll give you a ride to the castle and explain everything.” He said as he turned around for us to climb on. I was nervous, but Zecora immediately climbed on his back.
“Climb aboard, dear Fluttershy. And enjoy the ride, as we soar high in the sky.” She said. That made me feel a little better.
“Don’t worry, you’ll all be fine. I won't fly to fast either.” He reassured with a smile towards me. That diminished all my worries and I slowly climb on his back.
“Hold on” he said as he flew up into the air. I screamed and covered my eyes before I noticed that we stopped ascending. I peeked out and saw we were level and flying. I looked over to Zecora and saw a blissful expression on her face. That put me more at ease as I turned back forward and watched Daimon’s peaceful expression as he flew towards the Castle of the two sisters.
No POV
Spike and Ornstein were still “fighting” in the castle. Ornstein now had Spike cornered in a, well corner. “What are you going to do now, hero?” Ornstein asked menacingly. Spike just smirked.
“This,” He said before rolling under her legs. Ornstein was shocked but quickly turned around only to be tackled in the chest by Spike. Since she wasn’t on guard, like during the fight with the ponies, Spike was able to knock her on her butt. She looked down to see Spike standing on her with the stick he found earlier pointed at her chin.
“Yield.” he ordered. Still playing along, she growled before letting my head fall to the floor.
“I yield.” She said in defeat. They stayed quiet for a few minutes until they both burst out laughing. Spike fell on the ground while Ornstein was rolling around laughing so much there were tears. Once they calmed down, they started some more small talk.
“Man, I haven’t had that much fun other than my time’s with Big Mac and Discord.” Spike said. Ornstein was curious on who they were but left it alone to keep the moment.
“Yeah, who knew role-playing was so much fun.” She said as she relaxed on the ground. Spike sat down to until he looked at the throne’s behind them and got an idea. He got up and walked over to the thrones. Ornstein saw this and got up as well.
“What are you doing?” She asked. Spike turned back and said,
“Role-playing royalty” He said with a devilish smirk. Ornstein got a smirk as well and walked over to join him.
Fluttershy POV
We’ve been flying for a few minutes and I can already see the castle in our sights. I looked down to see Zecora still in her state of bliss as well as Daimon. I smiled at how peaceful Daimon looked, until he looked over and caught me staring. “Enjoying the view?” He asked with a smirk. This caused me to blush hard until my face was strawberry red. Luckily he saw this and was quick to dismiss his joke.
“It was just a joke, don’t worry. I’m used to being stared at, you wouldn’t believe how many birds, squirrels, and rabbits i’ve caught staring at me.” He said with a dramatic sigh at the end. That made me feel much better and I was amazed at how quick he was to end my embarrassment. Why was he being so nice though? Yesterday, he was shouting at me with fury. Now, he’s treating me with as much kindness as I treat my friends with. I decided to ask him later since he was now descending to the castle.
After he landed, he extended his left wing like a slide. He then gave me and Zecora a push with his hand and we slid down. I giggled all the way down while Zecora had a confident smile on her face. Once we reached the ground Daimon led us into the castle. Before we got to the throne room we heard voices, they sounded like Ornstein and Spike, which was confirmed when we peeked into the throne room and saw Spike and Ornstein sitting on them. I looked over to see Daimon giggling. He then motioned for us to stay put and listen. Deciding it couldn’t hurt, I decided to wait and Zecora agreed since she crouched next to me and we all put our ears to the door.
“Spike, go clean all the castle toilets, and sweep every inch of the castle, and restock all the books in the library.” I heard Spike say in a voice that sounded like Twilight’s. I then heard a voice that sounded like Rarity’s.
“Oh my gosh, how dare you ruin my mane. It will take me forever to get it in shape again, you brute.” I heard what sounded like Ornstein imitating Rarity. Daimon and Zecora were working to stifle their laughter while I was quietly giggling. For once I was glad I was naturally quiet. Daimon decided it was enough and walked into the throne room. Me and Zecora followed. Ornstein and Spike were on the thrones laughing their flanks off. I decided to speak first.
“Nice show guys, I really liked how you imitated Twilight.” I said truthfully. I knew she wasn’t like that but it was funny to hear her voice say that stuff. Both the dragon and knight stopped and looked towards us with sheepish looks on their faces.
Me, Zecora, and Daimon just burst out laughing, well quiet laughing in my case. “Nice job sis, see you can still mimic people pretty well.” Daimon complimented Ornstein.
“It’s a gift.” she replied. I was about to start some more small talk before Spike burped out a letter. He picked it up and read through it. As he got to the end his face turned pale and his eyes widened.
“What is it?” me and Ornstein asked at the same time. Spike just walked over to me and Zecora with Ornstein in tow. He then turned the scroll around once Daimon and Ornstein’s heads were hovering over us and what I saw frightened me greatly.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,
This is very worrying. Me, Luna, and Discord who you know has been staying here for a couple of days will be on our way to deal with these monsters.
Also, have the Elements of Harmony prepared in case we need them.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia

All of us were shocked by this news. I was brought out of my stupor when Ornstein spoke. “Well I guess we better get prepared.” she said to Daimon. Said demon replied
“I agree, but I do have one question” he said as he turned to me, Zecora, and Spike. “What are the elements of harmony?”
