//------------------------------// // Final Chapter part 2 // Story: Rex and Twilight Sparkle go to Hascon // by Flameboy //------------------------------// "No way!" Rex said while holding Skurge in a headlock under his right armpit. "Spike, is it true that Smaug, the greatest of calamities, is you and Garble's grandfather?" Twilight asked. "Yup," Spike said quickly. "I just can't believe you and Garble are related to that monster," she continued. "Actually, Twilight, when Smaug was young, he was born with wings for arms. And another thing is, he became a monster only out of vengeance because his father, and our great grandfather, Glaurung, loved Smaug with all his heart and didn't care if he was born with wings for arms," Garble said. "I don't get it," Twilight said as she placed her right finger on her chin. "Well, back to the whole "vengeance" thing, an army of dwarves under the order of their king, went into the valley where Grandfather Smaug lived with his family and brethren, and killed all of them. Including his own brothers and sisters, his own mother, and most of all, his own father," he said which caused Fluttershy to cup both of her hands onto her mouth. "After losing his entire family to the dwarves as they feasted on his father, and being the only one to survive the attack, Smaug swore revenge on those who killed his family. But he couldn't take an entire army of dwarves given the size he was. So, he waited and lived far away until he was big enough to take on a whole army. And then he grew to the size of his father and flew over to the city and caused death and destruction to the dwarves' home. But, his biggest score he had to settle, was the dwarven army and their king. He destroyed the doors that was blocking the path between him and the king with his fire, with dwarves dying one by one; all paying for the deaths of his grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles and aunts, cousins, families, and his friends. But the king wasn't killed by dragonfire. Oh,no. Since he turned father to food for the king's people to feast, it was only fair that he made the king suffer the same fate as his father. The king begged for mercy. But our grandfather refused. For his family and friends begged for mercy, but was refused. So, he told the king that it was only fair that he would show no mercy to someone who wouldn't grant mercy onto his family. Then, he grabbed in his jaws and chewed him up just like they did his father," Garble continued on with the story. "And the gold?" Twilight asked. "He slept in it for it belonged to the dragons and for it was the only thing left he had to remember his family," he finished and soon, everyone was starting to shed tears after hearing Smaug's tragic past.
