BEHOLD, THE POWER OF THE NIGHdaaaaaaaawwwww...

E

Princess Ember is not the biggest, strongest, or meanest dragon out there. In fact, she ranks pretty low in all three categories. Despite these disadvantages, she managed to pass her father's trials and become the Dragon Lord. Only one question remains: Now what?

While Friendship helped her win the day, it failed to give her a run-down of the intricacies of draconic politics, or lack thereof. Lucky for her, her father Torch is here to guide her down the path of a true leader. Soon, dragons across the world will be spreading the magic of friendship the best way they know how.

With fire.

'Other' tag for Torch, Ember, and a few cameos. Properly tagged with the update. Still needs a 'Stupid' tag though.

Why would this story need a stupid tag?

7151006

It may not need one, but I definitely want one. Though I think I could fit more jokes in where the punchline is someone/thing getting burned.

If a problem cannot be solved with fire, you are not using enough of it.

This story was good, but what cracked me up was the TP (Torch and Pillaging) thing at the end.

Twilight: "THEY WHAT?!?" :facehoof:

First off, I loved seeing Torch in action. The dynamic between him and his daughter was really sweet and hilarious. As well, dragons and griffons do have similar habits and aggression levels as well as greed in mythology, so this was a clever end of it.

TACTICAL HUGS INCOMING!

This is silly. And funny. And... AWESOME! I love it!

Haha thanks, he was very fun to write

Haha, nerdicorn...

After a pregnant pause, she continued. "No, I don't think trying to make friends with the Equestrians would be a good idea at the moment. I've written to their Princess of Friendship, and she mentioned 'nationwide panic' more than a few times. She recommended that we start with creatures similar to us, that strong, lasting friendships are built on mutual bonding and common interests."

Nobody said that they had to befriend all ponies at once. Luna seems like she could get along with dragons; she's boisterous and loud enough to hold a conversation of respectable volume with Torch, and she's probably a party animal, too. :twilightoops:

Ember nodded in acknowledgement. "Wrex."
"Ember."

I have a feeling that Luna wouldn't particularly mind all the headbutting, either. :rainbowlaugh:

Dammit, now I need to think of a plausible reason to get Luna, Torch, and Iron Will in a (very large) room together.

Lol, Trogdor got burninated. :pinkiehappy:

"Does it have to be ponies?" A shorter, solidly built Councilor asked. He had a wide, flat face, a bony crest covering his forehead, and a lethal-looking shotgun dangling from his armor. Ember recognized him as one of her father's drinking companions, an ornery old reptile, one of few dragons that wouldn't automatically agree with whatever the Lord said. "Allies are good to have, but I don't get along with ponies. They're so... squishy."

Ember nodded in acknowledgement. "Wrex."

"Ember."

:rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh:

So, it's canon? Equestria is Tuchanka? I mean, they kinda have thresher maws...

Haha I can't see Equestria ever being Tuchanka, but krogan are long-lived and real estate is a sound investment. It's entirely possible that Wrex has a vacation home in the dragon lands.

And thresher maws are freaking everywhere. First time I ever saw one in Mass Effect, it popped up directly under my poor Mako.

7158446 Make them the three finalists of the 1003rd Annual Scream-Your-Lungs-Out-Aganza??

My money's on Ahuizotl this year.

"You can bounce ideas off them, if you phrase it so they don't automatically agree with what they think you want to hear. I mostly get frustrated and bounce rocks off them instead."

That is a wonderful turn of phrase.

I reviewed this story as part of Read It Later Reviews #57.

My review can be found here.

writing fimfictions is productive

7158446 diplomatic-something-or-other!!!! you could make it another chapter or something.

7158303 hail princess nerdicorn!!

7157457 Tactical Hugs: Slightly more harmful when used by dragons.

Should've chose the yaks, Ember. They would've at least appreciated a little heat.

7945643

NOT LIKE YAK BONFIRES! NOT PERFECT, YAKS SMASH!!!

There needs to be a sequel, or a chapter 2... and 3 and 4...

Okay, Ember had to concede that point. "But Dad, that's the only part anyone listens to anymore! The rest of that code is useless! I mean, that whole life-debt thing? When is a dragon ever going to be in mortal peril? And what dragon would help them? I'm pretty sure I'm the only dragon here who's ever done anything altruistic."

Someone seems to have forgotten the time she almost drowned and had to be saved by a wingless drake from Equestria. Technically, you should to be Spike's servant for the rest of your life.

This is disturbingly believable. Aside from Wrex's shotgun. When you're a dragon, you are the shotgun, as long as you position your tongue correctly.

In all seriousness, a delightful bit of absurdity. Thank you for it.

Haha this was great! Thanks for that little bit of insanity :D

Eh more like either an open plain or a really massive cavern if you want it enclosed. Torch is a big dragon.

I think in that case making sure dragons atleast attempt friendship and don't burn equestria IS her fulfilling the life debt.

If memory serves from gauntlet of fire episode, their probably be few dragons who like giving or recieving hugs
