After another riveting fight against the dire and another victory The dragon knight proceeded to go to see his only friend and true ally Keeper who had called him to his chambers.

"Keeper? Are you present?" Asked the knight as he knocked on the door. 

Maybe he is not. 

"Maybe not Slyrak. Let us go," 

Then without a single heeding moment Keepers door swung open revealing the eternity old man himself. 

"Oh hello Davion. Please come in," Said the keeper gesturing to come in. 

"Thank you Keeper."  

Upon entering the knight is greeted by the all too familiar hermit feel of keepers housing. One coffee table two chairs and thats it. 

"It always wonders me why you never get more furniture keeper," Said the knight politely. 

"I get that alot Davion. Now i called you here for a reason. Besides me do you truly have any other friends?" 

The question hit the knight like a sack of bricks. Why would keeper ask him such a thing? Why now after so many years of fighting the dire would he ask this now? Why now? Then it hit the knight. Keeper was his only friend. Sure he had allies but nothing else but that. Allies. 

"No keeper. I-I don't," Said the knight with his sudden realization. 

"Thats why your here. I am going to give you a trial. If you survive and learn your lesson then you win. If you dont youll be trapped there for the rest of eternity until your death or until your lesson is taught." 

"Where will i go?" 

Before his question could be answered Davion was blinded by a bright light and all he saw was white light.  


 

"Twilight! Wake up!" Said spike trying to get his 'sister' out from the bed. 

"Mhpmh! What!" Yelled Twilight getting out of the bed. 

Startled by her sudden anger spike said "T-theirs something that just fell out from the sky! Into the plaza!" 

"Spike...It was probably just an asteroid. Nothing to worry about..." 

"But its not just some rock! Its some thing in armor!"  

Twilights eyes widen at this acusation 

"A-are you sure?" 

"Yeah! Nopony knows what it is! I sent a letter to the princess but she hasn't showed up yet!" 

"Lets go!" 



 

"Arghhh! What did keeper do to me? Sylrak What happened? Slyrak? You there? Odd... Usually he'll talk his maw off." 

When the dust settled Davion looked around and realized he was in a town square surrounded by horses? 

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed one of the ponies running or galloping? Off. 

"What in the name of the elderwurms?" 

Then without a single warning two pegasi guards ran to the knight with spears in their hands? Er-Hooves 

"Halt vile beast! Stand down or face the wrath of Celestia!" Yelled one of the guards. 

The knight stood silent and grabbed his sword and shield 

"I said Halt!" 

"And i heard," Said the knight with his gruff like voice. 

Startled by his very deep and gruff voice one of guards flinched and backed up slightly. 

"Scared? You should be," Said the dragon knight threateningly readying his sword and shield. 

Growling the two guards charged the knight with spears ready. The knight stood still waiting and then-BANG! 
One guard fell by the knight shield bash and the other was greeted by a hot stream of fire. Luckily only giving some minor burns but still burns none the less. At this time spike and twilight had arrived at the square and saw what just happened. 

"Twilight? He just breathed fire! Like a dragon! Like me!" 

"I-it did! It really did!" Said twilight in awe. 

"I am not a it. I am a he. Also im not a dragon. Im part dragon," Said the knight nonchalantly. "Now tell me. Where in the mad moon am i?" 

"E-equestria," Said twilight still in awe. 

"Equestria? Peculiar name. 'Land of ponies' Odd. But ive seen odder." 

"Who are you? And what are you?" Asked spike. 

"One second," Said the knight. 

Davion proceeded to walk to the guard with burns on his face. Pulling out his salve he rubbed it on the guards face healing the burns but knocking him out cold. 

"Now i am a dragon knight. Basically i am part dragon. Part knight."  

"How are you part dragon?" Asked Spike intrigued. 

"Well its a long story. But if you really want to know ill tell you. This is how my story is told" 


 

After years on the trail of a legendary Eldwurm, the skilled dragon-slayer found himself facing a disappointing foe: the dreaded Slyrak had grown ancient and frail, its wings tattered, its few remaining scales stricken with scale-rot, its fangs ground to nubs, and its fire-gouts no more threatening than a pack of wet matchsticks. Seeing no honor to be gained in dragon-murder, the young knight prepared to turn away and leave his old foe to die in peace. But a voice crept into his thoughts, and Slyrak gave a whispered plea that the knight might honor him with death in combat. The knight agreed, and found himself rewarded beyond expectation for his act of mercy: As he sank his blade in Slyrak's breast, the dragon sank a claw into his throat. As their blood mingled, Slyrak sent his power out along the Blood Route, offering all its strength and centuries of wisdom to the knight. The dragon's death sealed their bond, and Dragon Knight was born. The ancient power slumbers in the knight, waking when he calls it; or perhaps it is the Dragon that calls the Knight.... 

"Thats my story." 

With spikes eyes widened with awe a mysterious voice spoke up. 

"Fascinating now tell me who are you?" 

"Princess!" Exclaimed twilight
