Chapter 106.5: The Dragon's Song

Author's Note:

We know dragons have lairs, we know they love contest, hordes and being tough. We all never really know much by a life of a Dragon family in MLP, so this is my interpretation when you have the personal problems being brought home to the Dragoness mate being Anubis the Death Dragon.

Also get to know a bit more of Anubis's connection to the dragons of the Dragonlands, why his their God of the Dead.

Comments very much welcomed as always

Stay safe and healthy all!

Chapter 106.5: The Dragon's Song

A cyan blue dragon with two white horns behind two fin like ears, another two in the middle of top of the head jetting back, spine white spikes down to the tail with a hook blade dark blue tip on the tail end sleep soundly on her hoard pile of gold within a cavern like room. The room had stone shelves with books that were three times the size of books in Equestria, a set of magically enchanted gem torches hanged on the walls dimly lit.

Suddenly a flash of light flicker on the eye lids of the ten hoof tall dragon, she slowly open her eyes yawning with a wide open muzzle displaying her sharp teeth, smacking the muzzle a few times the tired half open purple eyes shimmer a little of magical glow. “Damn it Smolder... Garble... can't I get some damn sleep...” She rose up onto her legs cracking her shoulders, flexing the wings walking over to a heavy duty metal door, she grab the handle and slide it across walking down the large corridor with pictures hanging on the wall of her, Anubis and their children.

The large cyan dragon crack her knuckles against each claw hand puffing out some blue flames from her muzzle. “They better not damage the gold crafted furniture again, it takes ages to mould it just... right” Her eyes sudden was wide open upon seeing Anubis sitting at the single seater staring into the fireplace. “Anubis!? What the bloody bucking Tartarus are you doing here!?”

Anubis didn't answer his glowing purple eyes staring at the flickering flacks of the flames dancing at the tips of the fire, embers drifting through it up the stone stack out of the lair vent. “Anubis get your tail out of my chair right now and get out of here before a dragon knows you are here! We agreed that you wouldn't come to my lair for the sack of our children and not letting those fire breathing wind bags know they are the children of their god of the damn dead!” She stomped her claw foot down hard cracking the ground from the force.

Anubis closed his eyes a few tears streamed down the purple-grey scaly face, this still didn't lower the rage from the cyan dragon. She stormed over to him with wings flared out and with a closed fist she throws a heavy punch right at the side of his head, it was caught by his glowing cracked scale claw hand without him even opening his eyes. “The Dragon's Song calls to me... Smogiar...”

Smogiar snorted with a puff of flame as he let go of her claw, she shook is a few times feeling how fierce he caught her punch. “I love you, but you know that I don't care about your stupid God Bu-”

Anubis interrupts. “It's Gark.”

Instantly the fury left the face and eyes of the cyan dragon, she step back with shock now written on her scaly face. “What!? That impossible, he not even a real dragon!”

“I know...” He lean forwards pressing closed claw hands against the underside of his muzzle staring once again in the flames. “Yet I can hear it, you may never know of the Dragon Song but you may feel something in your scales, something off or a very odd cold feeling that starting to grow...”

Smogiar turn her head away, this being enough for a answer to Anubis. “You knew he wouldn't live as long as we would.”

Anubis sighed. “I know, I was expecting a random call or something, not this...”

She walked up to the chair and put her hand on his armoured shoulder. “When did you start hearing it?”

“Six hours ago after leaving Princess Celestia's estate in Ponyville.” Anubis said reaching over his chest with his armoured hand placing it on top of Smogiar's. “I tracked it down after five hours of searching and realised who it was, soon as I did I came here...”

Smogiar frowned. “Why were you in ponies ruler's estate?”

Anubis turn his head slightly. “It about the creatures of Earth, I told them I would look into it in the Dragonlands, but we both know I knew more than I was letting on to them.”

“You do... the fact he one of them...”

“Indeed...” He sighed. “Too much weight on my shoulders...”

“How long does he have?”

“The day after his birthday... there is nothing I can do to prevent this. Out of all the songs I heard through out my long life, this is one I never expected...”

Smogiar mood suddenly change. “Now...” she grabbed him by one of his small side horns hard pulling on it. “Stop with the bucking tears you daft dragon!”

“Ow Smogiar! Stop!” He grabbed her claw hand to try and break free from her iron grip.

She tugged harder. “Not a chance! Your the Death Dragon! Be that dragon! Cry in the lands of ponies! Not in the Dragonlands! My mate in the Dragonlands need to look tough! So what you kept information from the ponies princess! You always keep things in the dark of the depths of lava!”

Anubis roared in fury unleashing a burst of magic knocking Smogiar back a few steps. “I'll show you tough Smogiar!” He grab the gold seater knocking it over with the table to create room.

Smogiar cracked her knuckles and toss to the side the sofa with a smirk. “Then show me you wingless prick!”

Anubis blow out of some purple flames from his muzzle. “You've asked for this!” He charges at her and grab her by the horn slamming her into the wall, she quickly turn around and punch him in the chest.

They kicked and punched each other, attempting to hit each other with their tails too with the blades piecing the rocky surfaces missing each other as they moved swiftly. The blade tails clashing with sparks flying from the cling and clang impacts of them. Anubis finally unleashing purple magical flames from his moan, she unleashed her own blue flame into his causing a explosion that rocked the place covering it with smoke.

“Feeling better my mate?” She wiped away a trickily of blood from her above her right eye.

Anubis wiped his muzzle with his arm. “Much my love.” They smiled at each other.

“Dad what the heck are you doing here?” Smolder's tired voice came, the adults turn to their teenage daughter rubbing her eyes not phased to seeing the gold sofa, table and single seater toppled over from their fight.

Anubis and Smogiar gave each other a look that gave a signal, they turn to Smolder. “I didn't know who to turn to when this song came...”

“Another dragon dying of old age? So that a excuses to break your and mum's own Prime One rule?” Smolder now crossed her arms yawning a bit. “And did you two have to fight at this time of night? I know you two have a tough love thing, but not this time of night.” She grumbled.

Smogiar look down at Anubis and over to Smolder. “It Gark, the song is his.”

Smolder's tired expression changed from tired to startled. “What? You can't be serious! Uncle Gark just about to hit 130, that seriously young for a dragon.”

Anubis sighed. “That because he not exactly a dragon, he came to us as such. But his something else...”

Smolder sighed rubbing her forehead. “That explains why he wasn't all dragon like...”

“Well th-”

“I am not surprised dad, you keep a lot of things from us, it all part of the stupid Death Dragon crud you have, even in the pony lands you have a different stick, so does mum, I don't get you two at all...” Smolder grumbled.

Smogiar snorted. “It called playing your hand right daughter, something you will need to learn.”

“Whatever.” Smolder snorted out some flames and pressed on why her uncle has a Dragon Song. “If he not a real dragon how come you can hear the Dragon's Song?”

“I do not know...” Anubis grabbed his staff. “I should go, you two are right, being here will bring too much attention, I will figure this out... I'll-”

Smogiar reach out and pull the staff out of his hand. “Not in that sorry state you are.”

“Mum dragons can sense when the damn God of the Dead is near! That why we never had him around the lair and why we go to him at that Inverted Tower to see him, those idiot cult group of dragons know enough to keep their lame brain mouths shut and keep dad hidden with the freakish dragon magic!”

Smogiar gave a very creepy fanged grin on the right side of her muzzle, Smolder saw that glow from her purple eyes and knew her mum just got a idea from what she just said. “Wake your brother up, we going to stay over your father's place till this is over, he needs our support.”

Smolder shook her head, she wasn't going to spend days in some cavern cult town and a tower going deep down and under a large deep pool of lava. “No way mum! I am not staying in some place with those wacko dragons, even it our uncle this is dad's own problems and can deal with-”

“SMOLDER GRANITE DEATHWING WAKE YOUR BLOODY BROTHER UP AND GET READY TO LEAVE! YOU WILL HELP YOUR FATHER OR SO HELP ME I WILL SMASH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR TEA SET!” Smogiar roared at Smolder pointing the staff at the teen with it pulsing with magic, her eyes glowing intensely.

Smolder's face turn a shade of blue in a instant. “N-n-no everything but that! I-I'll get Gar-Gar up right away!” Smolder quickly ran off.

Smogiar snorted some flames. “If it means staying near some cult dragons helping out my mate, so be it.”

Anubis take the staff off her. “Thank you my love, but please reframe using my staff for meagre things such as blowing up our daughters tea set.”

“Says the Death Dragon that took our children on a trip to the pony city Manehatten and got them involved with a reality bending rabbit.” Smogiar turn around glaring at Anubis, he gulped. “You really think I am that stupid not to figure it out my mate?” He shook his head, she reach over with a claw hand giving him a soft tap on the side of his face.

Anubis knew he was in deep water. “H-”

“How did I figure it out? Oh something about a teleportation crystal sending me to the...” She grabbed his horns on the back of his head with both hands. “FROZEN NORTH AND TAKING ME A WHOLE DAY OF FLYING TO GET HOME!” She pull him down towards her knee smashing his muzzle against it hard, she let go causing him to stumble back for her to do a full 360 jump kick right into his chest sending the Death Dragon flying across the living room smashing into the wall hard.

Anubis implanted into the wall grinned with a bit of blood drizzling down the corner of his muzzle. “Opps?”

"Opps my tail, sometimes that brain of your is so far up that tail of yours you forget about the smaller things!" Smogiar walked up to him and put her claw hand under his muzzle leaning down. “You knew exactly what you were doing at that pony town, and your lucky I love you to only smash your sorry wingless butt into the wall.” She press her muzzle against his kissing him.

He returned the kiss before saying. “And you can keep kicking this sorry wingless dragons tail anytime, because he will gladly fight back to prove why we are mates.”

Smogiar flick his tip of the muzzle. “That you always have my love. Now you supported us for all this time, it time to return the favour for you and your friend Gark. He a weird not dragon but a good one that been part of the Deathwing's for decades.”

“I needed that my love, thank you for being the tough, mean and caring mate you always been.” He freed his armoured claw from the wall rubbing it gentle against the scaly face.

Smogiar said back. “It called tough love sweetie.” They kissed.

Garble and Smolder had just seen this take place. “Mum seriously? Couldn't you two do that somewhere more private?” Smolder rolled her eyes.

Garble holding his muzzle. “I think I just threw up in my mouth...”

Smogiar grabbed Anubis's claw and pulled him out of the wall, with some magic he removed the damage from it showing no sign of being smashed into it and put out the fire. “You'll understand when you meet a tough mean hunky caring dragon for yourself my children.”

Both teens shuddered. “Mum!” Both shouted at the same time, this got the adults laughing in the demise of their children.

Smolder growled. “Take us to the stupid tower already so we can get some damn shut eye already! And not see anymore of this embarrassing mushy stuff...”

“Yeah and keep all that tough mushy stuff out of it too! We barely awake dude!” Garble said with annoyance.

“I rather had my tea set smashed than see this...” Smolder grumbled.

“Do your thing my mate.” Smogiar punch her mate in the arm.

The Death Dragon punch back in her arm. “As your wish my m-”

“Just get on with it already!” Garble and Smolder shouted.

Their parents laughed and Anubis tap his staff on the ground with the cloudy magic forming around each of them and soon they were gone from their lair, the entrance vanishes from view melding in the rocky side of the landscape.

Aww, that was sweet. I doubt Garble and Smolder share that opinion though

Well young teens be young teens :p

Indeed. Question though, are we going to see Smolcellus in this fic?

Where the story sits at the moment is using season one and two to create a timeline that works with them in chronological order the way I think it would go fitting some of the young six into it bee possible because of the state of events that have taken place so far. I have no desire to do huge time skip leaps at this time.

Most time skips be days or weeks at most, no outlandish huge skips at this time, so a Smolcellus isn’t something I be thinking about at the moment of time. Sorry I can’t have a clear answer for ya on that matter.

It's fine. I was just curious, since we already have Gallus and Smolder playing roles, I thought maybe you were considering bringing in the others, and Smolder meeting a certain lovebug
