Round 6.5 (Filler) The Divine Dragon and The Princesses...
*Long ago...so long ago...*
Spike curled himself in Princess Celestia's...his mother's arms... For them this was a routine she accustomed to but none the less the thought of it precious...
The sun his mother control went down just to be replaced by the moon as scheduled, as Celestia made sure everyday as she hope and prayed remained just like her son's hug to her...
Spike looked at the eyes of the Goddess of the sun whom the entire Kingdom thinks of as the all mighty ruler but for now she is his mother... Very gently Spike pressed his face to her mothers chest as he do so he can hear the sound of her heart and also the warmth of her love.
"Mom tell me a story." The Spike asked
Celestia's smile grew she had lived for many many years while despite many of her duels, wars and genocide had bathe her in blood of both the innocent and the guilty a like she had all respected them to a value.
"A story my little dragon... oh there are so many." As her words are as honest as they can be Celestia can only skim to them but each tale holds fear and regret in them surely those are tales you should not say to those mind are so young...
"How about the tale when me and your aunt Luna defeated Discord the God of Chaos.."
"I heard that a hundred times already mom please tell me something new." Spike whined...
Running her soft hands to his rough scaly back Celestia hummed as she search in her mind a tale for the young dragon...
"How about the time I made the peace treaty with the Griffin?"
"No mama I want a story about dragons... but the good kind all the stories I hear is that they are savage lizards that punch and burn everything to extinction..."
Even so many years have pass the scars of the war and tragedy still holds every races fear for the dragons.
Her lips trembled as she recall all the pain and suffering the ponies face the moment the dragons waged the war that nearly torn the world asunder but through all of the madness and wraith there was a memory she hold dear...
Looking down she can see the dragon child hugging her as his eyes are begging for a tale, taking a deep breath her voice seems to tremble some more before she hold Spike tightly...
"A tale my child... But before that I must ask you what are the five types of dragons known today?" Her voice filled with gentleness.
"The types of dragons mom... Oh I remember you always tell me about this but I heard it a hundred times..." Spike can only guess why.
"Please..." Was all Celestia spoke.
Giving in to her adopted mother demands Spike begun to recall them.
"The ferocious and war hungry Fire dragon it is sad that they are beings given birth directly from the eternal flames of the earth... Their fire said to burn almost any objects or creatures known... Next is the Earth dragon while the fire dragons came from the hot bowels of the earth the earth dragons are born from earth itself they are extremely territorial and known to isolate themselves even from other dragons also they cannot breath fire but their hides are said to be a hundred times stronger than other of their kin... The Sea Serpent also known as the Water Dragon little are known to these dragons except many reports of ships being sunk by these behemoths... Aside from the rumors said that their mere gush of breath can freeze their victims blood literally ... And lastly the Sky Dragon many scholars tried to understand these strange creatures aside from their natural affinity for heights and conjuring storms the Sky Dragons very few data was gathered. Rarely it attacks preferring to flee form an enemy rather than engage them... Location of habitats are unknown..."
"Yes but those are the only ones recorded there are still two types of dragon that haven't been recorded or studied by any other race here on Equestria..." The Sun Princess smile grew...
"Really then what are the rest mom what are those two dragons? And!...and..." Finger with a skin so smooth begun to silence the eager dragon spacing it just between his lips.
"The other two are the Demon Dragon, there are tales and rumors that said they came from the deepest and darkest bowels of Tartarus itself manifested from the vile intentions... sins and malice of all hideous and evil creatures there..." Spike begun to grab her mothers arm hugging showing her fear from the tale.
"And the other is the heroic Divine Dragon..." Was all she said before tears slowly appear from her majestic eyes...
"Mom why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Is it the tale if you don't want you can stop.." Spike said full of concern
Princess Celestia using her silk sleeves swiped her tears then her hand rubbed Spike's back looking at the sky as she does so...
"Kaiser..." Were heard from her voice... a voice of pure sadness...
