Chapter 3: Dragon Tales.
Sunny: So, what's up with North being the Dragon King?
Momotaros: He's not the Dragon King yet. Not by a longshot.
Kintaros: True, he just started all this hero work stuff and it hasn't been long since he got the magic back.
Zipp: Okay, but what does it have to do with him anyway?
Nyx: You see, over 3000 years ago-
Izzy: 3000 years ago?! That's WAY before Ancient Equestria!
Nyx: Yes, it is. Anyway, as I said, over 3000 years ago, the First Dragon started his journey. This was Braveheart.
Pipp: First Dragon?
Nyx: He lived his life as a normal philosopher, until he stumbled upon a place that he never dreamt of finding.
Hitch: What did he find?
Nyx: He found his way to the Cosmic Temple, as you five know, there are several worlds besides our own, and the Cosmic Temple was in the very middle of this Multiverse. It was there he found the Keeper, overseer of all worlds.
Mane 5: Woah…
Nyx: It was there Braveheart learned of an ancient relic of myth. The Philosopher's Stone.
Zipp: What could it do?
Nyx: It could transmute any base metal and turn it into something else, like gold or silver. It can even be used for rejuvenation and grant immortality.
The Mane 5 were in awe of this.
Izzy: Did he find it?
Nyx: He did, but before he started his journey, he made a deal with the Keeper, protect the Multiverse as you seek your prize. It was there he gained his own Driver and Morpher. He went by the names, Kamen Rider Wizard, and Shishi Red.
Pipp: He must've been special.
Nyx: He was, but as the old saying goes, where there's good, there's evil. And that evil was in the form of his twin brother, Bravestorm. He took on the name…Kamen Rider Ryuga, the Dark Dragon.
Hitch: That actually sounds… terrifying.
Nyx: Braveheart, being a pure dragon, he was supposed to eat meat, but instead, he avoided it. He ate nothing but fruits and veggies. He valued all life and treated it equally. His brother thought he was being delusional and wanted nothing to prove him wrong.
Sunny: So what did he do?
Nyx: He followed Braveheart and the two fought, and during his journey and many battles, Braveheart found many things. The great hammer, Mjolnir, the sword of a king, Excalibur, a sacred sword forged by a god of war, Ancilia, a cloth that can work like armor that had the head of a gorgon, Aegis, the godly lightning, Zeus' Lightning Bolt, and the impenetrable armor of Achilles.
The Mane 5 were all in awe as their jaws were dropped.
Nyx: He found it all and used it all. And even though he finally found the Philosopher's Stone, when he did find it, he found something even better.
Hitch: That would be?
Nyx: He found love.
Mares: Aaawwww!
Nyx: This was Amalthea, a unicorn of beauty and magic.
Pipp: How did they meet?
Nyx: The way they met is a bit…well let;s just say it's one way to meet the love of your life. Amalthea was captured by this witch and she was locked in a cage. However, that witch thought she was a normal horse and used an illusion to make her appear like an actual unicorn to tourists.
Zipp: Why would she think Amalthea was a normal horse?
Nyx: Thanks to her magic, Amalthea's true presence was hidden. And it was at that tourist attraction that Braveheart met Amalthea while he was disguised as what you call, a human. He even met another human who was an actual magician with magic.
Sunny: Quick question, why was Amalthea wandering around in plain sight?
Nyx: Something happened to the other unicorns that made them disappear. But in truth, they were captured.
Izzy: Who would do such a thing?
Nyx: A tyrant named King Haggard. He used his own magic to create a red bull to chase the unicorns and trap them in an ocean wave for his own joy. It was here Braveheart and Bravestorm put aside their differences and worked together. Bravestorm sacrificed his life to defeat the red bull where Braveheart took down the evil king. But before their clash, Braveheart took Mjolnir and forged the Philosopher's Stone into a magical staff, and it was there Braveheart awakened an ancient power and became the one and only, Dragon King.
Sunny: Amazing…
Nyx: And after his victory, Braveheart and Amalthea joined their hearts together. And after becoming host to an all powerful god, Braveheart helped expand the Multiverse, he even created our own Equestria.
The ponies were shocked to hear that part.
Hitch: Wait, wait, wait. North's ancient ancestor, he created our own very existence?!
Nyx: Pretty much. That's the power of the Dragon King for you.
Sunny: And since North is related to him, he too, will obtain that power?
Nyx: Yes ma'am.
Pipp: Our coltfriend has become even more amazing.
The mares nodded.
Nyx: And as you are aware of my father Starkiller and uncle Nemesis, how about their father, Nightlock.
The Mane 5 nodded.
Nyx: Well during in Equestria's early years, my grandfather Nightlock defended Equestria as the hero Kamen Rider OOO with his, somewhat partner, Facade who was known as Kamen Rider DiEnd.
Izzy: What do you mean about somewhat?
Nyx: He was…a bit of a rogue, and was also known for being a thief. Yet he and Nightlock worked together. They saved Equestria from many of its more sinister threats and the darkness that stayed hidden.
Zipp: Like who?
Nyx: Like Tirac. He planned to use something called the Rainbow of Darkness so he could create an everlasting darkness all over Equestria. But thanks to the power of the Rainbow of Light, that darkness was undone, and my grandfather destroyed Tirac. But he was far from done.
Zipp: There were more?
Nyx: Let's say Equestria was wanted by many other villains. Like Grogar who wanted to banish the ponies and conquer the land, or three wicked witches who nearly destroyed the land with a creature called the Smooze. But thanks to my grandfather and uncle Facade, they saved Equestria time and time again. My grandfather even fell in love with Rosedust, queen of the Flutter ponies.
Pipp: What are Flutter Ponies?
Nyx: Magical ponies but instead of pegasi wings, they have butterfly wings, and when they flap those wings all together, they can create a powerful gust of wind mixed with magic. And my own grandmother was the queen of them.
Sunny: What happened to the Flutter ponies?
Nyx: I don't know. I wish I had the answer, but I don't.
Sunny: Then what about Star and Nemesis?
Nyx: Wow. Where do I start? My father and uncle went through alot along with their own band of heroes.
Nyx started to explain everything about the past.
How Star, Nemesis, and Iceberg came to exist and become friends to the point of brothers, Star's…big relationship with Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Zeocra, Tempest, Coral, and Moorhen.
The Mane 5 questioned about the latter, where Nyx showed a photo album and showed the complete picture of Star marrying the mares and two dragon queens.
Hitch: Wait until North finds out about this.
Nyx then explained about how Star and Twilight first met, Nightmare Moon, "The Worst Night Ever", meeting Discord and saving Canterlot from Chrysalis, meeting Shadox and saving tthe Crystal Empire from Sombra and Star passing when he became one with magic.
Nyx also explained how Twilight became an alicorn and how it brought Star back. She even explained about Tirek and his conquest to steal all magic.
Nyx continued on and on about the stories of her family and the big adventures they had to the point where Twilight became Equestria's new ruler.
The Mane 5 were amazed by the stories that were told. They knew North and Obsidia had quite the family history, but they expected that family history to be so big and adventurous.
Sunny: (North, you're even more amazing then you give yourself credit for.)
Izzy: I knew that rainbow sparkle of his meant something!
Zipp: I can't wait to see what else he can do!
Pipp: He's going to be glorious out there being a hero!
Nyx: Heh heh. Well if he's like any other Dragon, then you should expect him to be quite a sight.
Hitch: And to think, this was all started by a philosopher who had no idea about the Multiverse.
Momotaros: While in most legends dragons are known for causing destruction, hoarding treasure, and kidnapping princesses, other legends say they defend and protect the lands from those who dare bring harm to it and those who live on them.
Urataros: And the Dragon family are the dragons that do the defending.
Kintaros: They are strong, fast, and tough.
Ryutaros: Yet they act like they're not the strongest and are modest as hell.
Sunny: What's wrong with being modest?
Nyx: That's enough Ryutaros. So, satisfied with what you all were told?
Zipp: More than satisfied! Amazed! Who knew North is somepony that important.
Izzy: When I saw that sparkle of his, I knew he was special!
Pipp was fanning herself.
Pipp: Well, I'm glad this princess was taken by that dragon.
Sunny: Like the Dragons before him, North is going to carry on the legacy his family have left behind.
Nyx: And he's not doing it alone. Now, how about we get something to eat, I'm starving.
The ponies and Taros got up and went out to eat.
