Chapter 2: New friend

The snowy wind landed on a forest. As it disappears, Val, Silverfang and Whitetalon appeared. They walk out of the forest and follow a road that leads to a village. Val has a lot of money n her satchel, considering Crystal giving her a lot of silver, diamonds and crystals. Val went to village while Silverfang and Whitetalon stayed hidden in the forest. Val explore the village, she bought food and water and some new clothes. When she was done, she left without any word. Val went back to her friends, they were eating a rabbits that they caught and kill. They decided to venture somewhere else. Val and her friends saw many animals but no dragons. It's sad because Val needed to find a dragon for Crystal so she won't be alone. They walk until it was dark. They set up on a deep forest. Val uses her fire power to start a campfire. Silverfang and Whitetalon were nocturnal so they keep the first watch. Val was sleeping next to Silverfang's side. Whitetalon was perched on a tree branch making hooting sounds. Val woke up when she felt a presence close to them. Silverfang also sense this and growls. Val got up and took out a knife that she bought.

"Come out, I know you are there." Val called out.

There were silences. Silverfang growled even louder at the undergrowth. Val pats his head gently, "If you come out, we promise not to hurt you." Val said.

There was moment of silence. The bushes started shake and out came a scaly figure. It was dragon! A male to be exact, he was the same size a Val. His scales were forest brown with dark brown spikes on the back of his raptor like head. His eyes were dark red and his body has four legs and two big wings. He has black marking on his eyes and his tail looks like spear like weapon.

"Who are you?" Val asked, putting her knife back on her satchel.

The dragon looks at her, "My name is Brandon." He said, his voice sounded like a child.

"Nice to meet you Brandon," Val smiled, "I'm Valentina Rosalina Grady but you can call me Val." She points her animal friends, "This is Silverfang and that is Whitetalon."

Brandon nodded, "Why are you here?" Val asked.

Brandon looked down, "I…was looking for a new home." He mutters.

Val tilts her head, "Why?"

"Because I have no home or family," Brandon said sadly.

"What happen to them?" Val asked sitting down along with Silverfang. Brandon came close to the fire and lied down.

"When I was an egg, I never knew my parents because they got killed by dragon slayers. I was raised by an elderly dragon name Rouen. He took me and raised me for five years until he was killed by slayers to protect me." He explained sadly.

"It must've been hard for you." Val said. Brandon nodded slowly. Val then has an idea, "Do you want to come with us? We're going on adventure after we're done you can come live with us with Crystal. She's an ice dragon."

Brandon looks at her with happiness, "Really? I thought I was the last!"

"Nope! Crystal is an ice dragon that lives at the snowy mountain. She always wanted to have a hatchling."

Brandon smiles and nodded happily. Val gives him some meat from her bag and he ate it. The two started to talk about their adventure before going to sleep. On the next day, they ate breakfast and head off. They traveled to a forest and heard yelling. Looking at each other they followed the screaming. They saw a man holding on a rope while flying? Confused, they followed the man to see he was dangling on a dragon!

"No way!" Brendon whispered in shock.

"Come on!" Val follows them along with the others. They saw the man was able to make the dragon fall from the sky and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. The two cringed in sympathy as they hide behind some logs and watched the battle. Val recognizes them. The man was Bowen and dragon was Draco. She saw Gilbert hiding like them but farther away.

"What are they doing?" Brendon asked.

Val pointed at the Bowen, "That man is dragon slayer." She whispered making Brendon gasps. She pointed at Draco, "And that dragon is the last fire dragon like you."

"Should we do something?" he whispered.

Val shook her head, she can't revile herself, "No, if they seen us then we'll be in trouble." She said. Brendon nodded and they watched the fight. Bowen got himself in Draco's mouth and tried to stab his brain but no use. They stayed like that until night. Val was getting tired. She let out a cute yawn and said tiredly, "How long will they be here?"

"Well, judging by the dragon slayer. He can go without sleep for three days while dragons can go without sleep for three weeks." Brendon explained.

Val nodded her head tiredly before continued to the watch them. Val was about to doze off when suddenly Bowen was spit out from Draco and was pinned by him. They heard a deal and Bowen agreed.

"Well, that's taking care of." Brendon said before looking at Val, who was asleep by his side. Shrugging, Brendon fell asleep with Val while Silverfang and Whitetalon watched Bowen and Draco. When the little ones woke up, they followed the two males at a farm. Val uses her shadow powers to hide with her friends. They watched as Draco uses his fire to burn some of the crops and scaring the villagers while Bowen pretended to kill him. They watched as Draco fell in the water with a splash. Val senses him swimming away.

"That was weird." Brendon's voice said in the shadows.

They followed the males and heard their conversations. They heard of Draco wanting to die but he feared to lose his soul. Val knows why. Half of his heart is with Einon, the evil king. Val decided to spy on the king while her friends stayed hidden in the forest. Val uses her shadow powers to become one of the guard's shadows. She saw how cruel and selfish the young king is and decided to pull a little prank on him. Val uses her water power combined with her ice power and dumped cold water at the young king on his sleep. Einon got angry and demanded who did this to him but no one enter his bedroom. Val left the kingdom and told the others and Brendon burst into laughter. Silverfang and Whitetalon found it amusing. Val and her friends found Bowen and Draco on the cliff having a conversation.

They decided to be away from them. Val set the wood and rocks while Brendon lights it up. They all lied down and look at the stars.

"The stars look pretty tonight." Val said.

"Yeah," Brendon said, "Look at that. It's the constellation Draco."

Val looks up to see the dragon constellation, "Elder Rouen told me stories about the constellation."

"Really?"

Brendon nodded, "Long ago, when man was young and the dragon already old. The wisest of our race took pity on man. He gathered together all the dragons making them vow to watch over man always. And at the moment of his death the night became alive with those stars. And thus was born the dragons' heaven. But when we die, not all dragons are admitted to this shining place. No, we have to earn it. And if we don't our spirit disappears as if we never excited." He said.

Val looks at him. She felt sorry for him. "Maybe one day you'll meet them in that paradise." She said with a smile.

Brendon looks at her, "Really?"

"Uh-huh, you are kind and brave and one day you will be with them someday." Val said.

Brendon smiles before the two went to sleep along with Silverfang and Whitetalon.


Sorry if it's short, I didn't have any more ideas of this story. MMM, my mom said no my little pony crossovers because my little sister keeps crying out, "Don't change my little pony!" over and over again, so sorry. But you can help me with more ideas on the next chapter.
