Bugsydor's Economy of Scales (Bugsydor's "Ember, Hoardsmelter")

Author's Note:

[Comedy]

This is a continuation of Bugsydor's Ember, Hoardsmelter (3,383 words, [Slice of Life])

SPOILER, STORYRUINER: Ember learns the ways of civilization from her correspondence with Twilight and applies them to dragonkind. To Garble's continuing, years-long amazement, this doesn't get her torn limb from limb.

"Sister, come quick!" Luna said1, snatching a startled Celestia in her telekinetic aura and teleporting the both of them into the skies above Stalliongrad.

1. The words "Luna shouted" are reserved for instances involving actual property damage.

After shaking her head and ensuring she didn't plummet to the busy streets below, Celestia fixed her sister with one of her medium-rare glares of irritation. "Luna, what is the meaning of this?"

Unfortunately for Celestia, Luna had long since grown immune to every last one of Celestia's lesser glares. "Look!" Luna said as she once more grabbed Celestia's snout in her telekinesis and twisted it towards the Problem.

She swiftly forgot her erstwhile irritation.

"By Star Swirl's famed invisible pants4!" Luna shouted, chipping some shingles off an unfortunate roof. "They're bringing..."

2. People at the top have unique lexical difficulties.
3. The proper name for a large gathering of dragons.
4. Some people are more creative about resolving the aforementioned lexical difficulties than others.

After a moment of Celestial squinting, followed by an air-lensing spell, Celestia turned back to her sister. "Statues, among other things."

"The fiends intend to shatter our walls with golems of stone and steel, then! We must rally the troops at once!"

"Nay, sister. Hold your horses," Celestia said, the wheels within wheels of her brain visibly turning. "Some of the letters I've been receiving from Princess Twilight are beginning to make sense. I think we should have a word with whichever dragon is in charge."

"The largest, then?"

"Most likely."
