Location: Forbidden Jungle Pov Smolder

I was Scouting out a field trip location called the Forbidden Jungle with Spike while helping him learn to fly when he came flying toward me in a panic. "What is wrong, you look like you just saw a ghost?" I asked Spike as he caught his breath.
"I saw something and when I went to investigate it said something and created a wind spell that pushed me back." He said as he pulled out a bag to breathe into out of nowhere I then asked what the creature said. He then seemed to be lost in thought and then after a few minutes, he said. "It was a word I never heard before and the word was Fus." He said to my surprise.

I knew the word so I asked him. "Spike are you sure because that is a word from the ancient dragon tongue?"

He responded and asked. "Yes, I am sure what does it mean?"

I then answered. "It means force, in old times there was a tale of a creature that could learn dragon words and use them to fight by killing dragons but that was thousands of years ago." I said worried as we started to go back to the school.

Location: School of Friendship

As we approached the school we saw that Discord was there talking to Fluttershy when Princess Twilight came out and greeted us.
“Hello, Spike hello Smolder how was the trip? Does it seem like a good place for a class trip? Twilight said then saw the looks on our faces.

“He saw a creature he had never seen before. It walked on two legs, had little fur, and was able to speak the ancient dragon language.” I said to Twilight

“Hm, by the description you gave it looks like it’s from the other side of the mirror.” Twilight said to Spike as he had a look of shock on his face.

“Now that I think back it did look like it was from the other side of the mirror, but how did it get to our side and speak an ancient dragon tongue?” Spike asked, confused.

It was at this time when Discord and Fluttershy came over and asked what we were talking about as we told them Discord poofed away and came back with a picture. “Would this be the being you are talking about?” he said as he threw the photo down.

“Yes, that is the exact creature.” Spike said after looking at the photo.

“I know what you are all thinking, I did not bring him here but I did help with it.” Discord said after that Spike and I looked at him enraged.

“What do you mean you helped bring him here?!” I said. “The creature you brought gets stronger by killing dragons!”

“Yes, while that may be true, we thought of that, the object we used to bring him here makes it so he does not have to kill to gain power.” Discord said With a smug look on his face.

“Well, that is one thing solved now who had you bring it here?” Asked Twilight angry at Discord for summoning the creature here.

“That is a piece of information I will not tell.” Discord said as he made a zipper with a lock appear on his lips and then threw the key Into a portal. Fluttershy was clearly Upset at Discord for bringing it here. Fluttershy then left and Discord then followed.

"We need to find the creature before anything happens." Twilight said to us as we walked to find help. We went to the castle to try to figure out where it could be.

"Twilight we should send a letter to the other Princesses." Spike said as he grabbed a quill.

"Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna we have learned that someone had Discord summon a creature who is able to gain power by killing dragons, Discord said he made it so that the creature does not have to kill a dragon to gain powers. I suspect Discord agreed to bring the creature here for a reason. I am asking for help in finding the creature so no one gets hurt. From your former student Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said as Spike wrote, not missing a single word. Spike then rolled up the paper and wrapped it with a band that had the sun printed on it, he then sent it with his flame. It was after a few minutes we received the Princess's response.

"Dear, Twilight we knew about the creature already. We gave the pony who asked Discord to summon it permission because we trust them and the pony had a vision of a major threat. So we will help find the creature so we can brief it on the situation. Signed, Celestia and Luna." Spike read from the scroll we received from the Princesses.

"Smolder, we need you to keep this to yourself." Twilight told me as she walked over to spike and burned the scroll. "What was said can not leave this room I am going to Find Fluttershy." said Twilight She then teleported out of the castle to tell Fluttershy about the letter.

"So what are you going to do now?" Spike asked me as he walked over.

"I'm going to hang out with the others want to join?" I asked as I went to the door that exits the map room.

"Sure and if they ask we tell them we were reporting our trip to Twilight." Spike said as he flew over to me as we left the map room. Along the way back to the school we saw Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo hanging out, as we got near the school we saw the other Princesses arrive at the castle under a cotton candy cloud. As we got to the school we were greeted by Pinkie Pie who then looked at her tail that started to vibrate. "TWITCHY TAIL RUN FOR COVER" Spike yelled as he jumped under a table.

"What are you talking ab-" I was saying as a vase dropped on my head "-out. After that, I went to my room to sleep.
