A Filly and Her Wolf

by Teotle


What to do?

Back at the wolf's Fortress outside of Equestria, Smoke was training her son, Brimstone, expecting Teotle to arrive soon. They were sparring each other. Brimstone used a flail with a skull on the end, instead of a metal spike ball, while Smoke used a training sword.

Brimstone attacked first, but Smoke countered, hit his back, and knocked him to the ground.

"Remember, my son." Said Smoke. "What is the strategy I taught you in the beginning?"

"Always watch your enemy, and never let them get out of your sight." Brimstone answered. "Never let them strike first, for one strike is all it takes to lose."

"Exactly." Smoke Replied.

Just then, Deathkiss and Desiree entered the room. Smoke turned to them.

"What is it?" she demanded.

"Sister, we need to talk." Said Deathkiss.

Smoke looked back at her son and told him to train with the dummy on the corner. She walked with her fellow sisters out of the training room and into the hallway.

"This better be good." She said. "Have you brought back Teotle?"

"That's the problem." Said Desiree. "Our master powers have manifested within him."

"So?" Asked Smoke. "All seven of our children have a part of master's powers."

"No, you don't understand." Deathkiss said. "He shares the power of possession with your son."

Smoke's eyes widened. "What else have you kept from me?"

"Not kept." Desiree replied. "He possessed many of our troops an made them fight us."

"He also seems to have forged a new leg out of metal." Commented Deathkiss.

Smoke huffed. She couldn't believe her ears. "Well then, if what you say is true, then my son and I will bring him in ourselves."

"You won't get very far now." Said Deathkiss. "Canterlot guards will be watching the borders by now."

"Don't forget, word has gotten out of guards in ponyville." Desiree added. "We were lucky to get there our selves."

Smoke laughed and said, "If there are guards there, We'll crush them."

"Are you going to go tonight?" Asked Deathkiss.

"Why?" Asked Smoke. "He's not going anywhere."

Back at Ponyville.

It had been two days since the attack. The guards had finally arrived, and they watched closely for any signs of distress. Some of the ponies didn't like that they were there though. They were annoyed with Teotle for a while, because he was the reason the guards were there in the first place.

Twilight was ever watchful of Teotle after learning that he can possess others. She tried to research mind control spells and the type of magic he uses, even having him explain how he does it. However, she reached a stand still in the search, because nopony has ever heard of a wolf using magic in the first place, or any magic that took the form of fire.

Nyx, Teotle, and their friends had begun hanging out with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon now. It wasn't really what Twilight would encourage at first, but in the end, she was happy to see them all having fun.

After quitting her research, Twilight decided to hang out with her own friends. Spike had arranged for the others to meet them at Sugarcube Corner, so she walked out the door and began her trip down the street.

As she made her way down town, ponies were looking at her direction as she went by, not saying a word. The silence was almost deafening. when she finally made it to Sugarcube Corner, her friends had already picked a table inside. Pinkieipie waved her over with a hoof.

"Hey girls, what's up?" Twilight asked.

"Not much." Replied Rainbowdash. "Just waiting on you."

Rarity pulled Twilight a chair and she sat down. The friends all talked for what seemed like hours about all the things that has happened over the past few days.

Rarity was working on a new batch of dresses.

Rainbowdash was learned a new flying trick.

Pinkiepie has been helping Applejack with the apple crops.

Fluttershy had also made some new animal friends.

Twilight, however, just did her research. it seemed that all she was thinking of was Teotle's magical powers. Nyx noticed it too, but Spike just told her Twilight will calm down soon. Still, Nyx couldn't help but worry, and neither could Twilight's friends.

'Well shoot, sugarcube." Said Applejack. "You need to find something else to focus on."

"I know." Twilight replied. "Its just that if I leave Teotle unchecked, he'll get in trouble. The townsfolk already have suspicions of who he is."

"Why not just tell them?" Asked Fluttershy.

"Tell them what?" Asked Twilight. "That he's he son of a wolf king bent on taking over Equestria, and that there's a bounty on his head between his siblings?"

"Well, they got to know the truth sometime." commented Pinkiepie.

"Maybe telling the truth is a good Idea, dear." said Rarity. "After all, not everypony thinks he's a monster. In fact, some even cheered for him when he drove away the wolves during the attack."

Then Applejack said "They have a point. Besides, the rumors will only get worse as time goes by."

"How would we go about telling them?" Asked Twilight

"Maybe I could offer some advice?" Said Mrs Cake, who was laying a plate of cupcakes on the table. "Why not have the mayor arrange a town meeting?"

Twilight and her friends looked at her in shock.

"Have you been listening the whole time?" Asked Pinkiepie.

"Oh, sorry." Said Mrs Cake, blushing. "I over heard you talking and I thought I should help. Teotle is such a dear. He and Nyx were here with their little friends, helping me bake a cake. He was actually really polite for his age."

"You can thank Rarity for that." Twilight chuckled. "Anyway, that sounds like a great idea, thanks."

"My pleasure." Mrs. Cake replied.

"So it's settled." Twilight announced. "We're arranging a town meeting."
