-Episode Two, Seven years late to the party-

I do not own the rights to My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, or any other show/game series I may reference, If I did I would be a very happy man.

(Please stop Opening Music here)

After about two minutes of the pair's wide eyed gazes I found myself getting extremely nervous. "Um, your highness? I think I broke them?" I asked sarcastically to which Luna reacted with a laugh. I was willing to bet at this point that if she hadn't summoned me out of boredom she would be reacting the same way as the pair in front of us. "Right... Sorry about running into you miss?" I asked as I reached my hand out towards the Lavender pony, the rounded face hinted that it was a mare. Well if that part wasn't different from normal equines at least.

"Oh, it's alright, I'm Twilight Sparkle. Sorry for staring by the way it's just... I haven't seen anything like you before." She said with a sheepish grin. The look in her eyes just screamed scholarly interest. "Oh and this is my adoptive son Spike." She said with a smile as the young dragon bowed. The fact she introduced him as such made me think about just how far behind the show is from the real thing?

"Hey, I know this is a little rude but, what's up with your eyes?" Spike asked me which caused me to stare blankly for several seconds before that all too familiar feeling crept into my nose. "Hey are you alright? Need a hanky?" Spike asked realizing that the convulsions I was beginning were the onset of a sneeze. To which I shook my head and move out of range.

"I'm go... I'm goo... I'm Gooooo-ACHOO!" FWOOOSH! *Sniffle* "I'm good." I replied while stomping out the small blaze I had started on the hallway rug with my volatile sneeze. The looks on the groups faces were varied, Twilight's face had a mix of fear and curiosity that you would find in any scientist who had found a dangerous subject to study. Spike's was a mixture of wonder and hope, most likely thinking I'm some sort of dragon. Princess Luna's was a look of plain concern for the Janitorial ponies that would most likely have to tend to the burned rug if my stay was extended.

*A burst of fire flashes across the screen as the scene changes*

After my little stunt in the hallway Twilight told us where she and spike had been heading, lucky for us they were also on the way to the dining hall and so our merry band grew by two worthy knights. Sir Spike, the Scaly, and Ser Twilight the Sparkly. They would soon be joined by, Ser Rainbow the Dashing, Ser Flutter the Shy, and the aptly named, Sir not appearing in this film. Well not really it was just Twilight and Spike but, I made you look huh?

And so we sat in the dining hall, Twilight and Luna chatting away like old friends across from me. Spike was sitting to my right and scarfing down a plate of gems. He suddenly looked at me with a look of realization that made me imagine that he'd have a light bulb hanging over his head.

"So you can breathe fire? That's pretty cool." Spike said with a grin that had been steadily growing since that light bulb clicked in his head. It was now reaching a level that could give Pinkie competition.

"Yeah I guess it is. Then again it would be better if I didn't have to worry about torching anything when I sneezed." I said with a chuckle which got a similar response from Spike. "Yeah I remember about seven years ago, I was looking for this book for Mom, and when I sneezed the whole thing burned to a crisp." The fact that he called Twilight 'Mom', while note worthy was rather overshadowed by the fact that he mentioned that the night he blasted a book with his volcanic dragon sneeze was seven years ago. How much happened in that amount of time?

'I guess it won't be hard to pretend I don't have a clue about this world... I really don't.' I thought with a sigh. I was brought out of my self reprisal when I noticed that all eyes in the room had become trained on me or more specifically my right hand. Which I noticed had somehow summoned a ball of deep crimson fire which I had been tossing up and down for a good five minutes.

"Um, Camlio. How are you doing that?" Twilight asked me which caused me to drop the ball from her sudden question. When it touched the ground it burned for only a second then went out. It seems to be dependent on me to sustain it.

"I really don't know... last I heard, humans couldn't do magic." Was all I managed to get out of my mouth before both Twilight and Spike gasped. "Your a human?!" Was their joint response and when I nodded they both nervously scooted away from me. Luna however did not.

"Oh dear, it seems I forgot about that old dragon legend of the Terrible humans." She said with a sigh. Seven years passing since the dragon quest episode meant ample time for Twilight and Spike to find a book on Dragonic Folk tales and the like.

If I didn't need help questioning if I was already being affected by the name change I surely wouldn't soon. Because as soon as I took in Twilight and Spike's fearful looks a stood up and started walking away. When Spike tried to stop me I shouted at him... "jaseve ve loaw! si mi tirir wux vi totafit persvek jaseveir! wux obviously tir ti tuor ve zahae... clax doege thurirli tangis sjek yth nurti tafiaf tenamalo.." Spike had a shocked look on his face as I left the room.

"Did he just?" Spike asked while looking at Twilight and Luna who had shocked looks on their faces as well, Twilight managing a nod confirming that Spike heard correctly.

"Camlio..." Was all Luna could say realizing that my name change did more to me than she expected. But, as she realized the last part of my speech she jumped up from her seat and followed me Twilight and Spike having already decided to chase after me.

-The same burst of fire for scene transition-

I sat on the edge of the cliff that Canterlot rested on. "Kinda funny how I always imagined meeting them to go a little bit more smoothly." I said with a sad chuckle as I stared into the sun set. I don't care how easy it is for ponies to travel Canterlot with four legs. It sucks on two. "Oh well, guess I might as well find somewhere to stay for the night." I said standing up and turning around only to be staring in the face of something or someone I wished I would never have too.

"Well... aren't you the little oddity? And here I am coming to this retched city to see what all the fuss is about to find that one of those hairless apes is the source." The being spoke with a razor sharp feminine voice. Her figure looked an awful like some of the beetles I was freaked out by back home. Well if some sick bastard decided to crossbreed a beetle and a pony at least.

"Sorry to bother you." I said trying to dismiss her and walk away. Sadly it was not to be seeing as soon as I did a burs of green fire caught my attention and when I turned around I saw a human female. "Okay what the hell?" Was all I could think of saying before she spoke again.

"Your not the only human I've caught and oh how delicious your kinds energy tastes. It's akin to a rare wine. Now bow before your new master. Queen Chrysalis." Her chilling laughter resonating throughout the cliff side were we stood.

"Oh hell."

To Be continued!

A cliffhanger?! OH NOES! Well my goal is to make each chapter longer than the last so look forward to that. And yes I have a terrible fear of beetles... Well not just beetles any insect creeps me out. Oh and before I forget...

The speech before Cam ran out was in fact Dragonic or Dragon tongue. Here's the translation. "Leave me alone! I am doing you a favor in leaving! You obviously do not want me around... Take care friends even if we never meet again."

I know, and I'm really sorry. Apparently my main flaw as a writer is my need to explain things. Sadly it's part of who I am and it's very difficult to change. On another note... I'm dyslexic so please bare with me if I make a grammar error or two. I try to keep them to a minimum but, I'm not perfect.

yes your doing good in my opinion, mostly because i like to read fics for the enjoyment of the story, so the little things are moot.........n others who are so bent about how your doing this far as hie goes should respectively gtfo n not leave really annoying comments on matters that in all reasoning is exaggerated and trivial at this point; it ruins the moment after the chapter good r bad...............
