A Draconic Meeting

by Mystic Sunrise

Epilogue

Tiamat sat there as still as a statue. Staring at the one tree amidst a horror of darkness. Behind her, she heard her White mate step out of a portal. “I take it they made it back safely?”

“Yes my queen,” Zinguthrac said as he looked at the golem-made tree. Over the course of six months, it had blossomed into a living tree. Already the growth was spreading out, half purifying the shattered landscape between the two gates. “I don’t understand. Why not let them see this?” He growled but a look from his love’s white had silenced him.

“There was no need for them to know. And even I am not sure of the implications of this, or how far it would spread.” Tiamat’s White head sighed. “I knew the boy had talent, it’s why I gave him that scroll and the incantations to craft such a golem. Powerful enough to take down that pesky Guardian. But I never expected this. The knowledge may have been mine but the power was all him. For him to pour such power into it, his love for that girl must be great if he could do what generations of his people could not.”

“So what would be so wrong in them seeing it?” the white knelt down shaking his head, trying to comprehend her meaning.

“Because word would have gotten back to the young boy. I do not want to boost his ego more than it already is. He is way too young and I would hate for him to turn out as ego-boosted as his father was. Damn that Kiyoko. She was right again.” Tiamat roared as she stamped her claw into the dirt. “I often asked why her husband’s clan never tried to heal this area, but all she said was ‘one will come with the blessing and strength of nature. He alone can sow the seed that might heal the lands. And it is you who will give him that seed.’” Tiamat’s voice raised in half mockery of her old friend’s. The Dragon Mother always hated when she had to admit she was wrong. Especially to her old friend.

“Despite my feelings, I am curious about how that boy will turn out. The kind of grown spirit he will become.” Looking down at her white companion all five heads sighed as he was still confused. “Nevermind. Just do not go thinking about it.”

Zinguthrac nodded and nuzzled the white head he loved.

“Perhaps one day when my young vassal can take over for me.” Tiamat opened a large portal behind them. The blazing lights of her den made the leaves of the golem tree shimmer. “She will not have to handle such things on her own. Those two.” Touching the head of the wooden fox, she remembered the young kit who wrestled with her tail and looked at her with no trace of fear in his eyes. “OH yes, those two certainly have it in them to change this world for the better.” Wrapping a wing about her White head’s mate the pair stepped through the portal.

I'm a little hesitant to read your story. On one hand, I'm getting a lot of positive comments, and on the other, a lot of thumbs down. Why is that?

No idea. Frankly, I could care less since nobody's said anything bad about the story. Not even in a PM. The downvotes mean nothing to me anyway. So that's probably pissing people off.

Among other things probably.

Shame really. Any feed back would have been useful.

People are just that stupid. I'd just ignore the votes, read the story, and then decide if it's good or not.

This really should be a site rule. Downvote a story? You have to say why you did.

For whatever it's worth, the premise interested me enough despite the downvotes, and I found that I liked the story. It had its... cringy(?) moments, for lack of better word, but overall I'm glad I chose to read it. I'd recommend giving it a shot, if you haven't already.

I'm putting it in Read Later for now, but I'll take your word for it.

p.s. Theirs a part of me that would like to see Kiroauc see Pearl after all of this

Light is the universe's idea of a sick joke. And yes, Pearl could turn the CMC into alicorns if she wanted to. But even she isn't stupid enough to think that would ever be a good idea.

Probably won't do one though.

How so ?

What about others ?
Like her mom
Or the other Mane-6

Why not
It may be fun ?

Because having a shit ton of alicorns is a pet peeve of mine. Them being so rare makes them more special (and Light being as useless as he is doesn't ruin it for me).

That's my best friend's Pony-sona that you are talking about !

And? Attacking the character isn't the same as attacking the person. You've got serious problems if you can't keep them separate.

Eh I only let downvotes stop or slow me under two conditions. The summary has really bad grammar, or there is a lot of deleted comments. With a waiver if there's a lot of replies to those deleted comments that give a context to whether the deletions were fair or just an author that couldn't take criticism.

When you see so much downvote spam on an account like this though it's most likely a hate grudge. Someone with multiple accounts or a group of people have decided they hate the author so they downvote all their stories without reading them and downvote their comments on their profile and any comment praising their works.

Saw it with two accounts that I'm pretty sure belonged to the same person, he would dislike bomb any accusation fic that had even a hint of forgiveness in it, he did it to a story without forgiveness in it in the end so I think he just skimmed till he found what he hated and started bombing.

A lot of people hate how I comment and have gotten plenty of replies I need to stop doing so. Hate is probably coming from that, and the fact that I still do. Someone's tried to get me banned for it at least once probably.
