Twilight sparkle and spike head to the old library and saw most of her old books were burned and found her family album and the book about the history of the two sisters and the book of the elements of harm any were unharmed and her stuffed friend captain smarty pants. She got it back from big Mac and takes the stuff to her new castle
Fluttershy said " don't come here again " as she looks the timberwolf as it ran back to the everfree forest and she lands and smiles " you can come on all out my animal friends it's safe to come out " as her animal friends come out of hiding fluttershy said. Being very sweet and kind. And she looks at ryuma " I'm so sorry about that I get so mad if some pony hurts my friends and animal friends so what's your name ? I'm fluttershy "
"No need to apologize my dear," The king says coolly, his front hooves crossed as he enjoyed the display. "I understand how people get when they want to protect something of theirs. Though I have to say that look was rather frightening. I wouldn't think a soft hearted pony like you would be capable of such a thing. It was even though to scare that moronic animal into submission." He praised before striding up to the yellow pegasus. "My name is Ryuma, you could say that I have a way with animals myself, though I tend to keep to mostly reptiles and the like. It is a pleasure to meet you my little song bird." The unicorns eyes were shimmering slightly as he spoke and they way they caught the light made him seem unnatural and demonic.
fluttershy said " it's nice to meet you ryuma and would you like to come in for a cup of tea my friends will be here soon im sure you meet some of them at the party yesterday my friend rainbowdash she's the biggest fan of the wonderbolts and pinkie pie loves throwing parties and rarity loves to make dresses for ether a fashion show or for a gala or a wedding she 's the most generous pony I know " as she smile at ryuma
The king grimaced, he wasn't sure he wanted to meet all of them at once, with the way a few of them talked he was sure to be bombarded with questions, not only that but if it were those ponies that he met he wasn't sure how much he could tolerate of all of them. Though perhaps he could get one of them to take him to the castle in the forest? Hmmm... Ryuma raised a hoof and tapped on his chin for a moment as he thought. "I suppose I could come in for a little while..." He finally said turning his bright gaze to the shy Pegasus
fluttershy said " okay " she takes him inside her cottage " discord you in here ?" discard came out of the kitchen and carring a tray with a teapot and tea cups and a plate of cucumber sandwiches " hey fluttersh was getting the tea ready when our friends arrived do you think they forgive me when I betrayed them against tirek and I felt really bad and I didn't know he was using me" discord said hoping the others would forgive him and he looks at ryuma " fluttershy who's he a new friend ?" discord said fluttershy looks at discord and ryuma " yes his name is ryuma and ryuma this is discord " fluttershy said
The cottage was quaint and in a way seemed to be a bit big bigger on the inside. It was quite home inside but he found himself frowning at the amount of little critters that seemed to be hanging around the place. At his introduction he turned to the two hosts. "Discord," Ryuma nodded looking at the unusual looking creatures. He wasn't like any creature he had seen yet. It was almost like an abomination and an un earthly amalgamation of beasts. "What kind of thing are you?" The king asked, with little hint of subtly
discord puts the tray down on the table gently and looks at ryuma " im a Draconequus I used to be the master of chaos til my dear friend fluttershy reformed me " discord said fluttershy smiles hoping they'll get along and fluttershy pours the teapot and pours the tea in the tea cups
The snake king had never heard of such a beast ever before. It must be something rather unique to the universe he had currently found himself in. The creatures title was a bit intriguing though. The master of chaos? what could that possibly mean? But then again the more he thought about it, he had learned that there were winged unicorns that controlled the heavenly bodies so it wasn't too much of a stretch that there was a beast that controlled chaos itself. Ryuma turned to Fluttershy, ignoring the tea put in front of him, so this little pony couldn't only tame animals but a creature that had no purpose other than distorting the world? What a special talent. "My dear that is quite a feat." He mentioned, his voice soft and calm. " You really must have a gift."
Fluttershy smiles " i always like animals. If it wasn't for the pegasus race I wouldn't have gotten my cutie mark and the look I gave the timberwolf. Was my stare I only use it. If some pony hurts my animal friends and my pony friends why don't you tell me about yourself Ryuma if you don't want to talk about it I understand" fluttershy said
"There is little to tell to be honest." Ryuma stated looking away though the window. He didn't want other ponies to know that he wasn't from this world and he wasn't sure how much he wanted to say about his rank and abilities. "I am simply a general from far away." He finally said returning his focus to the kind pony. He glanced at the table and stared at the teacup before glancing at his hooves... how was he going to pick the thing up? His neutral expression shifted down before he recalled the few unicorns he ran into used some sort of telekinesis to lift objects. He glanced up at his horn and back to the cup. How could he do this? Ryuma's eyes glazed over slightly as he focused and gently a green glow came from his horn but instead of lifting the cup frost began to form on the outside of the porcelain and in an instant the cup burst sending frozen shards of tea everywhere. The king lifted a hoof to protect himself and blinked to where the cup had just been. "My apologies... I am not quite used to this form of magic yet..." He lied.
Fluttershy smiles and said " it's okay my friend twilight knows alot about magic maybe she can teach you and also rarity knows some magic too " fluttershy said as she picks up the teacup with her hooves and took a sip of her tea annd she puts her teacup down " if you don't have a place to stay your welcome to stay here as long as you like if you don' want to stay here I understand" as fluttershy said as she looks at ryuma. being very kind
and heard the door knocked " oh I wander who could that be "fluttershy said as she answers the door and sees twilight sparkle and spike "hey twilight and spike please come in " fluttershy said twilight and spike came in " applejack and rarity and hallowed night will be a little late applejack still has chores to do rarity and hallowed night are fixing our dresses for the masquerade gala in candrlot " twilight sparkle said fluttershy said " ok twilight and spike have you meet ryuma ?" twilight sparkle looks at ryuma and remembers him from the party " oh hello lord ryuma it's nice to see you again" twilight sparkle said fluttershy said " wait you two know each other?" twilight sparkle looks at fluttershy " yeah we met at the party yesterday " twilight sparkle said spike said " hi their im spike im a baby dragon and also twilight's friend and her number 1# assestent " spike said to ryuma
Ryuma shook his head in response to her question. He didn't desire to stay in a place so... He glanced around trying to find the right word. So inhabited. There were creatures, birds, squirrels, rabbits and all manner of other small animals that he was not happy about. It was hard enough staying inside just for this but he would not like to stay there by any means.
He was about to refuse her request when more guests arrived and who else would it be but twilight. His eyes turned towards the heavens before he shook his head. He believed in coincidences but so many and even he was starting to get the message. He took a breath before getting to his hooves and giving a polite nod towards the princess. "The pleasures all mine." Ryuma replied. "Nice to see you again princess." He said his large eyes scanning over her in their usual manner and the way he spoke made it seem like there was something more to what he was saying that originally heard.
twilight sparkle smiles and looks at discord she said " discord rarity told me to tell you not to spill anything on her new outfit she made she worked really hard on it and the others might forgive you of your betrayel " twilight sparkle said discord said " I learned my lesion i'll never ever ever betray my friends again I pinkie promise cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye"discord said as he did the pinkie pie swear twilight sparkle said " good and make sure you keep it and you a letter to princess celestia of what lesion you learned I had send a letter to her every week when I was her student " spike said " yeah and the day you forgot to send her a letter and you went crazy " twilight sparkle said " don't remind me " discord got a pan and broom and sweeps up the mess fluttershy said " twilight & spike would you like to have a cup of tea ?" twilight sparkle said " yes please " fluttershy flew in the kitchen and discord left the room and spike went to the kitchen with fluttershy to help her leaving twilight sparkle and ryuma alone and twilight sits at the table with ryuma
Ryuma blinked at the sudden knowledge of everyone in the room leaving, it was so fast he barely had time to react and boom. He hesitated on what to do as he gathered his thoughts on what happened before he saw twilight stroll over to the table. He glanced wearily towards the kitchen doors before returning his gaze. " Well princess, it's nice to see you again. I have heard from... Fluttershy," He said recounting the name of the pegasus, " That you are well adept in magic. My own magic seems to not be working properly, do you have anything that could help? A library or book or something that could help me grab a hold of my power?" The king asked trying to sound as innocent as he could. As he mentioned his lack of ability he motioned with his head towards bits of ice and porcelain that were still flecked across the table. He hated the thought of someone looking at him as inept but he also knew that it was probably the best way to grain the trust of these ponies. Anything cute and innocent would be an instant hit. Such naive fools.
twilight sparkle looks at ryuma ' yeah I had a library filled with books but it was destroyed by tirek all my books were burned I got a new library filed with books I might have a spell book that could help you lord ryuma " twilight sparkle said hoping none of the enemies from the past will come back for revenge like nightmare moon, queen chrysalis ,king sombra,discord turning back to evil and tirek ,Trixie , sunset shimmer turning back to evil even she's now reformed and on the side of good
"That would be lovely my dear." Ryuma smiles sweetly. "Also do you know of the castle in the forest? I would very much like to make a trip there but as I am I could use an escort. Perhaps you would be so kind as to bring me there? I would be quite grateful." He asked giving a small bow of respect. Just keep playing it up he thought himself, just keep it up and it could all be over soon
twilight sparkle said " sure and yeah I do I go their sometimes to go to their library I just love reading books and learning magic and spells " as she looks at him and fluttershy and spike and discord came back in the room and fluttershy pours tea in the teacups and gave them to twilight,spike and ryuma and herself and discord and have tea ready for her friends arrived and fluttershy heard the door knock and flew to answer it and sees rarity and hallowed night " rarity hallowed night please come in " fluttershy said as she lets them in
Ryuma nodded offering a genuine looking smile and was going to respond until he was interrupted with the knock on the door. He huffed a bit, annoyed that people seemed to like cutting him off so often.
"Oh dear me, I hope we're not late!" Rarity exclaims looking at the gathered ponies already in the cottage. "Terribly sorry if we kept you all waiting." She apologized quickly before prancing into fluttershys home, trailing a brand new stunning blue dress that she had made. It was adorned with all manner of radiant gem stones and lovely embroidered patterns. "Well common dear." Rarity called back to Hallow who was standing in the door way glancing down the path. There were so many people already and she was already feeling comfortable. At the sound of rarities voice she turned and nodded and hesitantly put a hoof in the door way until she laid eyes on Ryuma and froze. Her coat was starting to stand on end and she quickly glanced away. No one else seemed nervous around him which confused her and she continued in, trying to avoid the strange unicorn and made her way to the farthest corner of the table away from him. Rarity sighed, noticing her friends strange behavior and went to sit near her. "Hallow, you alright?" All the orange pony could do was nod as she tried to hide the fear in her eyes.
fluttershy said " I hope she's ok and your both just in time rarity & hallowed night have you both meet ryuma " as she looks at them and ryuma and twilight horn glowed dark pink and the tea cup lifted and she took a sip of the tea discord hopes the others forgive him when he betrayed then with tirak and was used and doublecrossed by tirak and hopfully no pony will free tirak
princess celestia went with her sister princess luna where tirek is in prisionment making sure he stays inpresenment and they arrived at his cell " tirak you can try all you want your never getting free again and try to take every earth pony , unicorn ,Pegasus , and alicorn magic so you can gow stronger princess twilight and her friends used their magic of friendship to defeat you and that's one magic you can't take away plus I have this place heavlly guarded " princess celestia said as she glared at tirek
Rarity nodded at Fluttershy's question, "Of course, how could anyone forget such a noble pony." She praised causing the king gain a rather smug smile that was hard to hide. Hallowed Light let out a small "MmHmm," her eyes looking around anywhere but the reptile master. She didn't want to be near him, he felt wrong and terrified her and she began to shift uncomfortably from where she sat causing the male unicorn to take notice. Ryuma wanted to laugh, that was the reaction he wanted from all of them but he knew that for most it would take some time. At least he knew that she wouldn't get in the way of anything he was planning. As Rarity put a hoof over her in slight concern he turned his attention back to Twilight, "I would prefer to go sooner rather than later my dear."

Princess Luna remained near her sister looking in confusion and putting a wing around the larger pony and turning her form their enemy and speaking in low tones. "Sister, is there any reason you felt the need to come here? I thought you had everything all taken care of the last time." The night pony commented her voice filled with concern. If her sister was getting paranoid that could mean bad things for the future. "Please be at ease. All will be fine, let us focus on the masquerade. It will be the first event I attend and I want nothing more than to see you smile and enjoying it with me." She said truthfully as she looked at the sun goddess, her eyes soft.
