//------------------------------// // Foals Injury and Meeting Breaker's mother // Story: The librarians and the cat of life // by Dragon Shimmer //------------------------------// Coral Blade and Snow Storm are sleeping in the guard station because tonight have a lot of works for time to solve. When they are sleeping, a knock on the door interrupts them as the white kirin opens her eyes and yawns. She sees Coral is hugging her tight. The kirin teleports herself to open the door. She sees Feather and Bull are holding fillies and colts. Looking down, she sees many foals are standing around them while two stallions are tied up. Snow Storm asks, "Are you going to toture us?" "Sorry, we don't have any choice," Feather points at the stallions. "These two are exploiting the foals here to make money for them. How can we throw thes trash nowhere." The kirin glares at them as the blue stallion retorts, "We are not exploiting them, we are taking care of them." "Wow, these stallions deserve in the garbage," Snow Storm turns away. "If you are taking care of them, why I see a lot of bruises in their body?" The stallions are silent as the kirin turns to the duo, "Anyway, why don't you take them to the hospital to check the bruise? If there are fatal wounds on these foals. I will have reason to beat them up."  The brown stallion shakes his head, "Wait, please. I am sorry, ok?" The kirin kicks him in the stomach, "Ouch, what is that for?" "Sorry, huh?" Snow Storm puts her claw on his neck. "Maybe I should kill you and I say 'I am sorry'." The brown stallion gulps and nods. Snow Storm turns to the duo, "Now, we will go to the hospital to check them up. I think Nurse Redheart will give them free, or if they have to pay, Coral will pay it." Bull laughs, "I like that idea, let's go."  Snow Storm points at the stallion, "Wait for a moment, I need to take these trash to their garbage." The kirin levitates the stallion to the jail as the duo checks the foals to make sure that the ponies will be fine. Suddenly, many of them cough some blood. Bull checks the foals and finds that there are some purple bruises on their chest. The kirin just comes out and sees the situation is not good. All of them take the foals to the hospital to check them all. The train stops in the desert. The director of the train announces, "The train has stopped in Saddle Arabia. Please step down so we can maintain the train. Thank you."  Sunset and others step down the train. WHen they just leave the train station, many Abyssian and ponies are standing in front of the station. All of them wear armor and have weapons. Sunset looks at Breaker as the brown Abyssian is feeling nervous. When the guards see them, they point the spears at Sunset and Spike and yell, "Dragons, you have no right to be here." Sunset turns to Breaker and asks, "Why didn't you warn us?" "Sorry," Breaker rubs her head. "I left here too long so... I forgot." "Great," Spike sighs. "What now? we are not going to jail, right?" Breaker sighs, "Let me explain to them," Breaker is going to tell the guard about the dragon, but a tall brown Abyssian comes to hug her tight. The tall Abyssian has many jewels on her ears, foreheads and eyebrows. Breaker is trying to hold her breath as she hears her bones cracking. The Abyssian yells, "Mom... don't do that. I can't ... breathe."  The tall one releases her and says, "Sorry dear, I thought those dragons were capturing you." "Hey!?" retorts Spike. "If we capture her, why should we come here with her?" The tall Abyssian explains, "Oh... sorry. I thought dragons were just dumplings trying to capture the beautiful females." Spike and Sunset look at each other, then laugh out loud as the Abyssian is confused, "Why did you laugh?" "Beautiful? Oh ... what. This is the best joke I have ever heard." Sunset is trying to hold her laugh. "You know she is not a good girl to court someone, right?" Breaker blushes, "Hey, at least I can do makeup. Not like you." "Oh right, oh right," Sunset waves her claws, "But you are not beautiful enough to make me capture you." Sunset received a book into her head as Breaker turned away. Sunset smiles, "Fine. Not joking anymore." "So..." Spike points at the guard. "Can you take the guard down? We mean no harm here. Breaker can make proof to us here."  The tall Abyssian waves her paw as the guards put the spears down. The tall Abyssian points at the purple dragon, "It's princess Ethna to you, dragons." "I like to call her Breaker, or Ethna," Sunset grins. "She is not a princess, you know." "Nonsense," retorts the tall Abyssian. "You should go to the jail right now, but since you retrieved the princess of Saddle Arabia here. I will leave you." The tall Abyssian throws her paw away, "now go, you have no business here." Sunset spins a pole, "Talk about the nonsense. You are the one who said this. Mrs... eh... I don't know your name,"   The tall Abyssian huffs, "Queen Amatia to you, lizard." "Oh right." The orange dragon coughs, "Like I said. You are talking nonsense here. I heard that you and your daughter have a problem. Besides... " Sunset points at Breaker, "She told me everything and why she left you 5 years ago." Amatia 'tsk' and looks at the brown Abyssian, then looks back at the group. Amelia just comes here with some luggages, then sits on the orange dragon's accessory. Amatia looks at the cat and giggles, "Fine. You and others are free to go around this country, but don't cause trouble. We will watching you."  Amatia takes Breaker away as Amelia rubs her head, "Eh... why does she suddenly change her attitude?" "Maybe this country worships the cat," Sunset folds her claw. "Let's set a camp near Breaker's place. We have to find a way to survive in this country first." Twilight looks at the orange dragon, "You mean like a jungle." Sunset nods as Twilight asks, "We are just staying in the hotel for a while, right?" "You can, but we can't," Spike looks at the Abyssian around them as they look at them in disgust. "You see how they look at us?" "Don't be so negative," Twilight lightly pushes the purple dragon. "I'm sure that the situation is not that bad." "All right," Sunset rolls her eyes. "I hope there is a map. Breaker is royalty so we can track her easily." "Let's go," Twilight is breathing hard. "This place is hotter than I thought." Spike is going to say something but Twilight stops him, "You two are dragon, you two can even bath in lave, and Amelia is not a normal cat."  "Fair enough," Amelia folds her paw. "Alright, let's get going. Time is not waiting for anyone." The librarians start to look around to find a map. There were too many foals to take care of last night so Redheart asked the duo to stay in the hospital. The duo had to agree because they worried about the kid.  Now, they are sleeping in the hospital on the patient's bed. Feather opens her eyes and stretches her body while Bull is sleeping. Feather looks at the sleeping minotaur and finds it cute. The griffin goes out to do exercise but Redheart comes inside the door and bumps into the griffin. "Sorry," Redheart stands up. "I come here to talk about those foals you brought here." "Oh," Feather stands up. "So, anything bad?" "Sadly, there is a lot of bad things." Redheart takes out the list of the children. "You reported that some of them were coughing blood, right?"  Feather nods as Redheart sighs. "They got many injuries in many parts of the body, but the reason why they cough blood is the lung." Redheart gives the griffin the notes. "Their lungs are heavy injured so they can't even work outside in many hours." Feather balls her claw, "Is there any fixing this?" "I suppose that I don't have enough donated lungs in this hospital," Redheart sighs. "Even if we have enough lungs, we don't have enough doctors to do these operations." Feather asks, "Sorry I ask this but what will happen if we let them like this?"  Redheart answers, "The first thing is these lungs will be caseated."  "What!?" Feather puts her face near the nurse. "How can they be castrated?" "They got beaten months by months," Redheart sighs. "Even for years." "I see." Feather is going out. "I will talk to Coral about this." "Please do." Redheart throws away the list. "You got 3 months before those lungs, livers will be caseated. I hope someone will invite many doctors there, or else I will have to poison them." "I remember that," Feather sighs. "Please tell that to Bull when he gets up." Redheart nods and the griffin goes out of the room. Sunset is holding the map of the city and flying across the country. After 'asking' a random Abyssian, they know that the castle is near the pyramids and it's not so far away.  Twilight asks, "Hey, how long will we get there?" Twilight is lying on Spike's back. "We flew in 30 minutes." "almost there, Twilight," Sunset huffs. "Bet that you are jealous because you can't fly, right?" "That.. That not true." Twilight turns away as others giggle. Suddenly, newspapers slap into her face as Twilight takes it off and reads it. "Oh, the country is celebrating the missing princess in the castle." "Well, it will be easier to track her." Spike takes the binoculars from Twilight's back. "I hope you don't mind." "Careful where you flies." Amelia flies toward the purple dragon. "I will turn to you whenever you meet the obstacle." "Please do." Spike starts looking down and uses the binoculars. "All right. If they are celebrating, it means they will have a big cart or something to follow her." Looking around, the purple dragon sees nothing but sand and sand. Sunset flips herself to enjoy the sunshine while flying.  After 5 minutes, Spike sees a brigade is playing music and riding camels to celebrate something. The purple dragon adjusts the binoculars to see closer and he sees the familiar brown Abyssian is wearing some beautiful outfit with her mom, which causes the purple dragon to stop. Amelia asks, "You found her?"  "Yes." Spike puts the binoculars on Twilight's head. "Let's follow them. We can know where Breaker is." "I agree." Sunset follows him. "But don't let anyone see us. They can attack without reason."  Twilight's horn and front hooves are glowing purple. Many clouds are assembling around the dragons and the cat. Spike rolls her eyes while Sunset shakes her head and smiles.  Ametia looks around and sees her subject is bowing to her as Breaker is smiling nervously. It has been a long time since she has been celebrated like this. Ametia wraps around the brown Abyssian, "Don't worry about those filthy dragons, I command my soldiers to attack them if they get near you or your kingdom." "But mom, that is my friend." Breaker turns to her mom. "How can you do this?" "Now now sweety. Those dragons are just filthy creatures who live in the cave for a hundred years." Ametia throws the gold coin to her subject. "How can they know about us when they live like that?" "Wow. What kind of dragons you are talking about?" Breaker shakes her head. "Are you still thinking of my friends like that? You don't even want to know them." "Enough. Dragons are just stupid. They will never get here." Breaker sighs, "You will regret this if you look down on them. I know they will try to find a way to meet me." "You want a bet?" Ametia smiles. "If they can meet you in your room in 24 hours, I will think again." "I agree." Breaker turns away. "Why do you change your mind like that?" Ametia smiles, "Because they got a flying lucky cat." Breaker facepalms as the queen continues. "I will give them a chance. And your name is Ethna, not Breaker." "Fine." Breaker smiles. "Maybe I will just stay here for a while." The queen and her daughter continue to go to the golden castle as they don't know the librarians are following them.
