Griffon of Canterlot

Chapter 95.5: Silver to Purple Dragon Small Talk

Silvite took a good look of the land of Sweet Apple Acres, the soft dirt path under her claws, the warm feel of the afternoon sun, tweets of birds near by and the endless fields of apple trees around the house and barn. She wondered from this first sight of Equestria how beautiful the land truly is, but knew there was a mission she promised herself to take care of for the safety of Gale within the scroll inside her side bag.

“Quite the farm.” Silvite said as she started to walk, Spike following.

Spike looking up. “It is, Twilight's friend Applejack with her family work and live here, the apples are liked far and wide from what I heard!”

Silvite thought about picking one but choose not to. “I'll have to give it a try some day, now which way to get out of town around 10 to 20 minute walk?”

Spike point in a direction. “That way I think, but that would cut through Ponyville going into town, why would you want to take a longer way than go that way towards the Everfree Forest?” Spike point to the other way on the dirt path outside Sweet Apple Acres arch way entrance.

“Child, you do want this dragon heart to heart do you not?”

“Ah!” He realised why she wanted to take the little extra walk. “This way!” Spike leads the way and Silvite follow the young purple dragon. “Erm... So...” He swallowed hard. “You and Gale?”

Silvite had a feeling this would be the first question to be asked, Gale told her how Spike is a big brother figure even he was younger than Gale by a few years, she kept a calm collected expression as she respond. “There is no easy answer to this, simple way to put it, over 4000 years ago we were mother and son, what happened then doesn't play the role who we are now, he remembering parts of a shattered past, so am I.”

“How does that work? Were you two erm... Well...”

“Resurrected?” Spike nodded while twitting his claws between each other, Silvite glance over to the tower hall spire over some of the tree lines. “That would be a form of rebirth or hatching or whatever it is, for us our bodies, memories, souls were in a state of magical energy flux, mine cause of Anubis. Gale... I am not sure how, maybe being on top of that mountain at the moment of many random chances coming to one very small chance of point.”

Spike recalled hearing from Twilight how a magical surge of transformative magic happened with Grogar. “Not sure how his magical body flux thing happened, but I do recall how he became Gale the Griffon.”

“Go on.”

“Grogar wanted his pure magic and was panicking because of pony and griffon forces were beating back his monsters, so all else attempt used a magical artefact idol with copies of it, that lead to Griffax and Misty the Great causing the idols to go crazy in one big overcharged magical release.”

Silvite tap the tip of her muzzle. “Hence griffon and being here 4000 years from where he should have been... As for me, it seem to dragons from little I learnt, I been around for a very long time, way longer than most and my memories up to a little over 500 years ago being mush case of my attempts to stop the tyrant dragon Thunderous.” Silvite shrugged. “Life has a strange way of bring us back together didn't it?”

Spike looking up at her with amazement. “You are so cool!”

“Not sure about that Spike, but one thing you need watch out for is greed growth.”

“Greed growth? What that?”

Silvite used her tail to scope up a rock and throw it over her head to catch it in the claw hand. “You see this rock?” He nods. “Now think of collecting more and more, not wanting to give it up no matter what, that greed, it could be anything from a hat, quill, book, pen, computer game, gems or anything in fact.” Silvite said now holding a gem mixed with some leafs, twigs and flowers.

Spike blinked, he didn't even see her gather all that. “Okay? So... If I start getting this feeling to take more and refuse to give it up and ask for more to keep, that cause this greed?”

“Yes and you will grow and grow, the more greed and more you gather the more you grow, the down side to it is your mind.” She toss the stuff away. “You start losing focus on the world around you, only till you only matter, prolong greed growth lead to memories fading till you lose them forever, like the ones of my early dragon life.” Silvite haven't toss everything, she gave him the gem.

Spike took it looking at his reflection on it. “Wow, that bad huh?”

“It is, I did it over 1000 years ago on purpose to fight Thunderous, for 500 years of that in the realm Nowhere ended up in was all my greed focus was, it took a blast to the side of my head behind my ear to snap me out of it, than many many years later of magic and help from my sister Pom-Pom to give me a size I like.” Silvite showed him the scar under her ear, and showed off her dragonish body flexing her muscles to swiftly moving around.

Spike lost track of her movements till got picked up and placed on her shoulder. “Whoa that amazing! Your amazing!”

She walked over the small bridge, many ponies was about to bolt when they saw Spike sitting on her right shoulder waving at them, giving the sign it okay. The ponies still tense went back to their business. “Hmm... Was expecting many to bolt.”

“Nah they fine, they know me, so your good.” Spike said.

Silvite shrugged. “Very well.” She continue to walk. “Now what other questions you got for me Spike?”

Spike tap his muzzle to think of a question, he than figured one to ask. “Have you met other dragons? Part from this tyrant one?”

“Indeed, I met the current Dragon Lord, Torch and his daughter Princess Ember, not sure how princess title works with a lord not a king or prince though.” Silvite chuckled lightly. “Should of asked him that when I had the chance.”

“Dragon Lord?”

“It the leader of the dragons of the Dragon Lands, one that hold the Bloodstone Sceptre rules them all.” Silvite responded. “My lack of meeting many dragons and not knowing their current culture would be a major understatement, I only met them a day ago, as for me to them. I am hauled as Lord of Dragons, a title to one that never held the sceptre but respected by all from what I know of.” Silvite snorted in annoyance afterwards with some white flames coming out.

Spike felt the heat from the nostril flare flame. “That's hot... I even felt that from here. That white flame must be really hot stuff!”

“It is.”

“Lord of Dragons?” He noticed her lack of response, he diverted to the title.

Silvite clench her claw hand into a fist lifting it up. “I did what no other would do to stop him, I stood up to his power while holding the sceptre, no dragon has power of me, most likely why I hold that title, no Dragon Lord or even a dragon god can order me around with the magic of their staffs and sceptres.”

Spike was more amazed by hearing this from Silvite, he saw a strong willed powerful dragon that sort to protect others over herself. “You really care about others don't you?”

“If it mean risking my hind to save others without praise, than yes.” Silvite smiled slightly. “It a warmth inside that I enjoy having.” Silvite open the claw hand placing it on her chest. “It a wondrous feeling.” Silvite stopped in her tracks, her eyes shift to the right then to the left. “Someone or something following us.”

Spike looked around. “I don't see anything.”

Silvite eyes shift to the right. “Orange, cream and white, three little ones, one with a big pink bow.”

“That Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!” Spike responded.

Silvite turn right around to a building. “You three did well for about six minutes, didn't even notice you till now.” She tap her right claw foot on the ground arms crossed. “Come on out kids.”

They all slowly emerged from behind the building. “H-hey!” Scootaloo waved her forehoof, the others did too.

“Hey.” She gave a small wave from the claw hand. “Now if you three wanted to join us on this walk you had to only ask.”

Sweetie Belle glares at her friends. “Told you!”

“Yeah you did.” Scootaloo rubbed the back of her head.

Applebloom sighed. “Sorry miss.”

“No harm done.” Silvite smiled. “Now.” She put Spike down knowing this conversation is over, she needed to move things along. “Let's get out of town, find a rock.”

“Why?” They all asked.

“Just to show how hot I am really am, no pun either.” She winked.

Scootaloo points a hoof. “There a really big one near the water over there!”

“Lead the way.” The fillies run, Silvite and Spike followed them. “Before you ask about my flame, yours in special in it own way, I heard you could send messages with it, that a handy trick.” Silvite said with praise.

Spike running hard as he could, seeing Silvite calmly taking slow long steps to paste. “Really?”

“Spike, I heard or never seen another that can burp out scrolls from flame and burn them to send to another, that one amazing magic flame you got there, and do not let another say other wise. If they do tell them the Lord of Dragons said your flame is amazingly special.” Silvite said back.

They came to a clearing, near by was a lake of water and not to far a large rock sticking out of the ground. “Will this do?” Applebloom asked with excitement.

“Yes I believe it will.” She turn to Spike. “One more thing.” Silvite pull out four very loose scales from her body, gave each of them to the fillies and Spike. “A keep sake.” She smiled and step forwards cracking her neck a little.

“Whoa...” They said staring at the scales they now had.

“Now stand back.” They step back. “Now watch.” Silvite unleashed a stream of flame right at the boulder, it blast through the rock melting it on touch, she stopped as it melted into a molten puddle.

They had covered their faces from the intense heat, they saw what the large bolder had been turn into. “No way!” Scootaloo gasped. “It just turn to red hot liquid!”

Silvite turn around grinning at them. “No pun youngsters.”She winked.

Applebloom walked up to it staring at the cooling molten liquid. “Yer melted it instantly! That insane!”

“I did, it a bloody hot mess.” Silvite push Applebloom away from it with her tail. “Now to cool it down to be safe.” She flew over to the water, she flew to the far side of it to zoom over it it, using a kick to hit the water, they watched water fly in a wave from the impact covering over the molten with a massive hissing sound with steam flying around.

“Whoa... She just kicked the water into a wave!” Sweetie Belle said with a stunned expression.

“She a awesome dragon!” Spike said with a punch in the air.

Silvite land on the flat rapidly cooling rocky surface. “That should be safe to step on with hooves in about a hour or so, can I trust you four from letting any idiot hurt themselves?”

“What do ya mean?”

“I got to go, we out of town, I said only till we out of town to talk.” Silvite calmly answered Applebloom.

“Oh right...” Scootaloo recalled hearing that as they followed.

Spike stepped up to her. “Will I see you again?”

“Who as my gem?”

“Twi-” Spike eye's lit up. “Awesome!”

“That I am, keep others from harming themselves with this youngsters, I am trusting all of you!” She took to the sky.

“We will! Cutie Mark Crusaders protectors yay!”

Silvite flinched at their screams. “Damn you three got one set of bloody lungs on you! Keep it up!” She saluted. “Till next time Spike!” He nodded as she saluted to him.

“Till next time Silvite!” He saluted back, she took off and soon disappear from view. “Wow...” He looked at the scale held in his claw hand. “Isn't she awesome?”

“Eeyup.” Applebloom answered as they stared at the spot Silvite vanished from their view.

Silvite turn around looking at the town of Ponyville, the city on the mountain side in the distance beyond it. “So that Canterlot, the city where Gale lives at... The mountain that fell.” She smiled. “At least Celestia going to be a good mother to him.” Her eyes shift to the left and than to the right. “Decided to show yourself?”

Glacier and Octicovix come into view. “I told you she good, most likely knew we were there the whole time.” Glacier's beak raised into a right corner toothy smirk.

“Your right.” Octicovix said back with her wings buzzing, not hiding her changeling form from Silvite.

Silvite looked at the messy feathered griffon. “Your her aren't you?”

“Yes.”

“And you won't be saying how, are you?”

“Spoilers.” She chuckled lightly as she hover close to Silvite. “Let's just say we all are here for three reason.”

“And that be?”

“We here to help you take those monsters down, not just for Gale, but for my husband too, some of that magic part of him.”Octicovix said with seriousness in her orb like eyes.

Glacier raise a claw finger up. “Doctor Trace.”

Silvite looked to the griffon and changeling. “I gather you won't take no?” They didn't respond. “Fine... We have seven targets, working together we might clear up Grogar's monsters that dare to harm those with pure magic by a few weeks at most.”

“Just in time for Comic Con in Manehatten.” Glacier smirked. “Shall we get started sweeties?”
