> Life as a dragoness [temp title] > by Cursebringer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 0 - prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Date: around 150000 years before the show.] [Location: 20 kilometers away from the border of what is now known as the dragon lands.] [Place: unnamed village] [time: 12.00 pm] -pov Silent Waters- I’m galloping through the village trying to get away from the group of raiders. My blue coat covert with sweat and my white mane completely drench in it. With my gray eyes searching a place to hide. Luckily as an earth pony stalion I still had enough stamina to keep on running for a time if it is needed. As I’m galloping through the village I can see our homes burning into nothing rubble laying everywhere, all the hard work we had done to start a save life destroyed in just a few moments. Thats when I noticed it. A small body was laying on the ground near one of the burning homes. It was Suger Lily one of the few foals in the town. She is a happy go lucky filly with a light pink coat and a yellowish blond mane and her green eyes always sparkle with delight and youthful fun and happiness. She is four years old and doesn’t even have here cutie mark yet. When I got closer I noticed something was wrong with her. Her coat was darker than usual and she was to quiet When I got even closer I noticed she wasn’t breathing any more. I also could see she had multiple burn woulds and cuts on her small body. When I turned her around I could see a large slash on her throat. As I saw that I stumbled back and started galloping again. After a minute of galloping I came at the town center. Before I could enter it I could hear a group of unknown voices talk. “Did you kill all of them.” I heard one voice growl out as another responded. “Yes we have, there is just one left boss. After that we can have everything they had and you can have even more gems, boss.” When they were talking I looked around the corner to see who and what they were. As I looked I could see a group of five gryphons, six earth ponies, three Pegasus’s, one unicorn and a creature I have never seen before. As I looked I could notice that the unknown creature was there boss. The creature looked like a lizard with wings, it had green scales and a lighter green underbelly. It had a bit of an point snout that curved down. It was two to three times the hight of a normal pony and had two horns growing out of it’s head. Furthermore it has claws and a tail around one to one and a half times the length of a pony. Thats when I was spotted by one of the earth ponies. “Look there is the last of them!” He yelled to the other raiders. When I heard him yell I immediately turned around and started galloping again. As I galloped I could only see three earth ponies coming after me. “Ohhh, I’m so lucky only three earth ponies are coming after me. If I can stay ahead of them I can get into the forest at the border of town and loos them there.” I thought with hope. As we were galloping I could see an roof of one of the houses almost collaps. Do to this I decided to run under it and kick the wall that the roof was leaning on so it would fall on them. When the burning roof fell, one of the ponies got caught under it. Wail the other two managed to get throw it. As we ran throw the village I could see more and more body’s of pony’s I knew. Miss shining delight the teacher, mister dreamy day’s the former guard that retired, mister apple sauce one of the farmers and more and more of the body’s could be seen by him as he was running. -3 pov- After a few minutes of Silent running from the two ponies he finally came to the border of the village and ran into the dark forest. Behind him the two ponies still followed to make sure no one survived the attack. In the forest the ponies can’t see more than a few meters in front of them. Because of this Silent couldn’t see the holle he was running straight at as the two ponies were following them. At this point it was to late for Silent to stop and he fell down and screamed. The two other ponies could hear him scream and went into that direction, and when they saw the hole they assumed he fell in and died do to the fall being very high up and him faling down. -pov Silent Waters- As I fell down into the hole I hit multiple stones on my way down and brow one of the bones in my right foreleg. After that I finally hit the ground and fell unconscious. An unknown amount of time later As I woke up I could feel immense pain Throughout my body. After a few seconds I could finally open my eyes again and look around at the place I had landed. The place I had landed is a dark cave that was illuminated by a form of moss that gives of a dimm blue glow. With that I could look around me for a bit and also see that not far from me was a pool of water that gave off the same blue glow as the moss but a bit brighter. As I looked further around I could see that the cave looked very normal for caves except there was a wall looked to have been made by a living creature. When I saw that wall I limped to it to examen it better. When I finally was by the wall I could see drawings on it looking like the same species as what the boss of the raiders was but older. I could also see an staircase going down. “What could it hurt to go and explore that down there. It’s not like I can survive for a long time with these wounds without medical help.” I said to myself not thinking anything else being with me down here. As I slowly made my way down it took around twenty minutes before coming at the end. When I was finally down I could see a giant chamber filled with treasures, gold, gems, artifacts and so much more. “Darn this would have been amazing if I wasn’t at deaths doors.” I said Outloud not thinking anyone would be there. “And can you tell us why this would have been amazing.” An unknown voice suddenly asked me. When I heard the voice I jumped in fright looking around not seeing where it could have come from. “W w who are you? Where are you?” I asked the voice in fright. “Don’t worry child we won’t hurt you * sniff, sniff* it smells like you are hurt and not long for this world.” The voice told me. *chuckle* “Yeh I know I’m dying. It’s just a mater of time now for me. Unless... please can you help me stay alive so I can take revenge on the ones who killed everyone in my home.” I asked the voice desperately. “For now we will extend your live so you can tell us what happend and depending on that we might help you.” An new voice told me. “Wait there is more than one creature here with me.” I said. “Yes there is, don’t worry it’s only the two of us.” That other voice said again. That’s when I started talking about what happend. “Alright so what happen is I... To be continued... > 1 - a little information and the deal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -pov Silent Waters- “And that is what happend to me.” I said to the two creatures. “It’s strange to hear that one of our species has fallen so far. It is also strange that you didn’t recognize what the leader of the raiders is.” One of the voices said to me. “I meen we are or at least were quite influential as a species.” The other voice said. “We can also see why you want to take revenge on the ones that destroyed your home.” The voice said to me. “Now then I think it is a good idea to show you who we are.” The other voice said. As I was looking I could see two giant shadows that I didn’t notice before move. As that happend one of the shadows somehow spet out a ball of white fire out off his mouth. As the fire ball flew through the sky I could see where it would land. The place it would land is a giant bowl filled with tree trunks and I meen trunks not branches or sticks. As I was looking at that fire ball I didn’t notice three more fire balls being launched to there own bowls. As the fires lit the room I could finally see with who I was talking. And I was immediately scared. The reason I was scared is because off how they looked. Of the two, one is a male and the other one is a female. The male creature looks very strong with dark red scales and orange underbelly and wing membrane scales. He has large and powerful wings. Scattered across his body there are scars and scratches with the most profound one right under his right eye. He has ocean blue eyes the look calming yet behind that I could see the many battles he has partaken in and he has a strong yet calming face. Lastly he has two large horns coming out his head that curving backwards with on each Side four horns that become smaller. He also has a strong looking tail. The female creature has a more streamlined and agile body that has not a single scar. Her scales are white with blue patterns all over it. She has fiery red eyes that show intelligence and an complete understanding of the arcane. Her wings are large and look almost like they are glittering. She also has small spines running down her back and two horns that split of into three pairs of horns on each side yet it looks like it doesn’t brake her streamlined body. She has a tail that is slim and long looking like it could be prehensile. When I looked at there claws I could see that they both had pearl white claws. “W-w-what are you two?!” I asked/yelled to the two of them. “You do not even know what we are?” The male asked me. “This is very interesting to hear.” He than said. “Well I think we should tell him then. We should also explain the different types there are then.” Was the females answer him. *sigh* “Yes we should. We little pony are dragons. Dragons are creatures with extremely long lifespan able to become millions if not billions of years old. There are different types of dragons to. We have the earth dragons, they don’t have wings but have a connection with the earth. Fire dragons who like most dragons can fly, spit fire and survive in climates that should be impossible to survive in because of the heat. There is also a more advanced type of fire dragon that is rarely born known as a magma or lava dragon.” The male said. “Then we have the water dragons who live in sea’s and water places large enough to hold them, they can spew a stream of high pressure water and can breath on land and in the water. We also have the ice dragons able and most often living in places so cold a normal creature dies of the cold before reaching the location. Just like there name implies they have an ice breath attack instead of a fire on, just short term exposure to there breath if used in an attack form can cause the part that has been hit to blacken and die. There are also wind dragons. They are amazing flyers and instead of an breath attack they can use the wind to increase there speed to an absurd degree.” The female than told. Then they paused a moment with telling everything. Looking like they were thinking about what to say next. “Then we have the rarer types like metal, life, death, light, dark and magic. The female dragon continued. “And lastly we have the mixed breads as they are called. But we rather call them a sub-species of dragons. A few examples are the fog dragons, nature dragons and stone dragons.” The male dragon said. “Now do you see why it is so strange to hear that you have never heard of dragons little one?” The female asked. “I-I can see why you would say that now.” I told them. “Now my love I think that with the information we have given him we should give him some time to digest all of it.” The male said to the female. “Yes that should be a good idea.” She said to him. “You we will give you ten minutes to take this all in.” She then told me. As they started to walk away I was curious about what type of dragon they were and asked. “Wait! If it’s not to rude to ask what type of dragons are you?” As I asked that the dragons looked at each other before the female said. “We are a bit different from most dragon but you can say I’m close to a magic dragon and my mate is close to a fire dragon. After that they started to walk away again and I could calm down. When they were gone I started looking around at how the place looked like. When I looked I could see it was a giant cave were you could not see the end and with the floor not able to be seen anywhere because the piles upon piles of gold that were there. There was so much gold there that it could destabilize any country, and that’s only talking about the gold and not the artifacts and other precious items around. There were also pillars hire and there making it so the cave doesn’t suddenly collaps. (I don’t own the image) -ten minutes later- After ten minutes of trying to take everything in about what they told me, and that I could see. I could hear them return. “So has your mind calmed down a bit?” The female asked to witch I answered yes. “Good now then I think we can at least help you with getting you healed.” The male said to me. “Thank you. May I ask if you can also help me in getting revenge?” I said and asked. When I asked that the two dragons look at each other again and walked out of range for me to hear what they were saying. After what felt like a few minutes of discussion they returned. When they came back the female said to me. “We are willing to help you but there will be consequences.” “And you shouldn’t tack them lightly, they are irreversible and have a large affect on your live.” The male added. “I don’t care I don’t have anything left.” I said to them. “Are you sure?” They asked to which I answered yes. *sigh* “Alright just to warn you this will be a ritual we will have to do. The ritual will make you our kin, during the ritual you can temporarily loos your memory if your spirit isn’t strong enough. The ritual wil make you stronger but you wil never reach our strength just remember that. Lastly it wil hurt and your body needs to at leest be in good condition. Also there may be changes to your body if your spirit is weak and can sustain a good image of your own body. Do you understand? And are you still willing to go tru with this?” The female told me. Before I could answer the male added to wat she said with.“I also have to warn you that a part of the ritual has to be done by me and I’m not very good with magic witch mean that there is a grater chance for memory loss. “I understand and I’m still willing to go tru with this.” I told them. “Allright my mate will heal you with magic and than we will start the preparations, in about a week everything should be ready.” The male told me. -one week later- As I’m standing here I am still amazed at how good the female dragon saw at magic. The spell she used had mad me return to peak physical condition without negative Side effects. This place is also gigantic. According to the dragons if you are in the center it is around a hundred kilometers in every direction. When I come to the location where the ritual is supposed to be held I could see a caldron large enough for the dragons to use and also a magic circle on the ground. The magic circle has an outer ring with symbols in it I couldn’t understand and in the ring there is a pentagram, the magic circle is made out of a mysterious blue glowing liquid. The cauldron has a bubbling greenish red colored liquid in it. The cauldron is larg and is black with a light shine coming off of it. “So you are here. Now for this ritual all you need to do is to stay in the magic circle until we say you can go out. If you don’t do that you will most likely die. Remember no matter what stay in the circle until we say otherwise.” The female says to me. “I understand.” I say back. “Now let us begin. Cast the spells dear and I’ll finish the option.” The male says. As the female casts the first spel the circle starts glowing even brighter. As this is happaning the male is coming to me without me noticing. This is because I was distracted with the magic circle. Thats when I felt a large amount of pain in my chest. As I looked down I could see one of the claws of the male dragon pierce through my body straight through my heart when I saw that everything became dark. Just before I died I asked. “Why?” “Sleep and soon y—“ Was the last thing I heard the male say. To be continued...
