It was early December, December 5th. Airborne woke up in his stone cold, cave bedroom. He groaned as he opened his eyes to the incoming light from his shut window. Looking out of it, he realized that he was late for school. It was 8:30 as he noticed how radiant the light shined in his bedroom. His parents had not come up, however. "Strange." He whispered. He thought that his parents would have come to wake him up, but that never happened this morning. The changeling-dragon began wondering what could have been happening, so he waited 10 more minutes. Eventually, he came to realize that something was definitely wrong. He walked out of his bedroom and flew down the stairs. He made his way around Dragon Lord's Rock on the inside to find the outside. He went down many more stairs, passed a few hallways, and then eventually flew outside the front door. Flying past the many statues he saw in the cavern, he flew upward. He flew to the top of the outside and looked around. Dragons… Changelings… Looking from above, he saw nothing and no trace of creatures. Airborne didn't understand. What was happening? Where was he? He then looked up at the sky and then saw it change from morning to complete night. The sun, in fact, transformed into the moon, glimmering a soft light in the night sky. The glow began focusing on Airborne more. The changeling-dragon felt as if he had to fly towards the moon, which he did. He tried to understand what was going on but he was more attracted to the look of the moon over anything else. Pretty soon, the moon got brighter and brighter until the world was consumed entirely of a white, shimmering glow. Airborne could not look away. He tried to. He was blinded and yet he could not close his eyes to cover them nor could he use any of his limbs to shield his eyes. He spiraled out of control but maintained his balance hovering in the air. Sadly, he saw what came next. The entire sky turned red as there were no lights in the sky, except for a crystal moon/sun. The crystal light in the sky was bright, but also dim enough to see as Airborne looked at the world entirely encased in crystal. The trees were green and brown crystals, the sky was very crystallized in blue, all things in the world appeared to be transformed. Soon… the moon/sun showed a giant unicorn umbrum face. It laughed as it saw the changeling-dragon. The entire world soon grew into red and black and purple crystals as it then explodes underneath him.

Airborne soon woke up apprehensively, panting hard and screaming a bit. The boy kicked the covers off and covered his head with his wings in fear trembling of the dream. He remembered all of it. The horrific look of the land, the emotional and barren emptiness, all of it. He was also looking around in his bedroom as he continued to think of what he went through. "Wait… that was a dream?" he asked confused. "What… was that?! It was so… frightening. The world was transformed. Oof… I've gotta tell my parents about this." Airborne then looked at the window and saw that it was actually night still. He couldn't tell his parents at the current time. Instead, the child just climbed back into bed pulling the covers over him. He was still scared.

Thorax walked into the room and asked, "Airborne. Are you alright?" Ember followed in shortly after.

Airborne said, "I had a nightmare," worried, emotionally distorted as well as confused. "There were…"

Ember sat next to Airborne. "It's okay, sweetie. Tell us what happened."

Airborne hesitantly said, "The entire world was encased in crystal and darkness. The world was… so… hurt. Cold. Barren. It seemed to be as if life itself ceased… I… I don't understand. What was that dream?"

Thorax then said, "Oh, son. You're alright. We are here, aren't we? That dream was just a dream."

Airborne said, "No, this was real. You were gone, dad! You weren't anywhere to be found and so was anyone else!" He was very scared. He didn't know what to do at this point. He didn't want to go back to sleep for he believed the dream would return. He sat up about to cry. "You and mom were gone and I was all alone about ready to die! Please don't make me stay alone! Please."

Ember gave Airborne a hug wrapping her arms and wings around him. "Airborne. Do you believe that anyone can take away both of your parents?"

"Airborne sighed. "But mom…"

Ember spoke lovingly, "I am the Dragon Lord and Thorax is the strongest of all chang- well second strongest because of his brother, but we will always be here for you. I promise you that."

Thorax came over and hugged as well. Ember spoke saying, "If you have this nightmare again, come talk to us."

"Thanks, mom," said Airborne with a calmer tone.

"Do you want us to stay with you longer?" asked Thorax.

Airborne nodded yes and the changeling then sat on the other side of Airborne. The 3 sat there for a long time until Airborne was finally calm. And later that night, they all went back to sleep… except for Airborne, who was alone in his bed looking at the moon from his window. The moon was glimmering softly, shining into the dark room. The child couldn't help but wonder what he saw. Getting an idea, he looked around in the dark for his book of Unity. His eyes are able to see in the dark as he is half changeling. Once he found it under his bed, he opened up to a page. He looked through the table of contents the author wrote. "Where is it? Where is it?" He searched under the table of prophecies. He then went to that very chapter. "The writer did a great job at keeping his story and writing in order. Much like Twilight's." He continued to search and search. He skimmed through but found nothing. He then tossed the book. "Hopeless… Just hopeless… This doesn't say anything of anything crystal… So, I can't tell the future huh? Strange. I thought my dream showed that-... What if I sense danger in the land currently? What if that's it?" Airborne then picked up his book once again. He turned to the table of contents for the title of "powers". Turning to the chapter, he skimmed once again for a while searching for anything about his own powers. Once he found it, he found out about his power of nature. He read, " Airborne, you have a special gift called "Astral Distress." You are able to sense great danger across Equestria. Take this for example. You can not sense anything small. You can not sense anything minor, like an argument between parents or a bicker between friends. It only activates once lives are at high risk for death and it will keep happening until you respond to the call in any way you can. Your powers choose you to be a future leader to help unite all, so you have been given this power to protect the innocent and the guilty."'

Someone walked into the room. "What are you doing with that book?" Garble said. "I could hear you from next door." Garble's room was right next door to Airborne's. The red dragon looked down at Airborne and sat next to him. "You still scared about the nightmare?"

Airborne shook his head saying no. "Actually… it's about my powers. I can sense when many lives will be at stake or something. I don't fully understand it, but-"

Garble laughed a bit. "That's a funny story you're reading."

Airborne said, "It's not a story, Garble. Please believe me when I say that Equestria is going to… it's like… I don't understand. Crystal's are forming and something's weird with… some shadowy pony."

Garble then tickled Airborne, "Cheer up, bro. You're only making it worse!"

Airborne laughed hard, "Stop!" he continued laughing more. "I'm being serious!" he said laughing even harder. He then pushed Garble's hands away forcefully. "Please stop it!" His face turned angry.

Garble stopped once Airborne demanded so. "Wow. You're very serious, aren't you? I'm sorry. I didn't… what is it with your powers? Are you sure they aren't going insane?"

Airborne sighed sadly. He looked down as he spoke, "Just forget it… you probably won't believe me…"

Garble then looked down. He thought for a bit, pondering on the worst Airborne said. He then looked around the room and saw the dark open space with the toy boxes and table he had. He looked at Airborne. "I'm not saying that I fully believe you, but I do have a question. What did the shadowy figure look like?"

Airborne answered, "Well… It had a curved and longhorn, a flowing, short mane, and sort… I think he had on a king's cape or something."

Garble nodded at the description. He then patted Airborne's head. "Alrighty. Maybe I can talk to your parents and Spike about it. I will see you later unless you want me to stay if you're too afraid to sleep." Airborne nodded yes adjusting himself in bed for a comfortable position. He lies his head fully on his pillow. "Kid, you okay?"

Airborne replied, "I'm just… worried."

Garble then rubbed Airborne's head. "I've been your guardian dragon in the shadows since I've stopped hanging out with those dweeb dragons. Heh. You're never going to get hurt on my watch. I'll always protect my little brother."

The child liked the sound of that. He had an older brother now, Garble. But then he said, "Nah. You're more like a best friend to me."

Garble then said, "Alrighty. We are best friends. Stay cool, my dude." He then fist bumped Airborne. The child did so back.

Eventually, Airborne fell back asleep and once that happened, Garble just watched over him making sure he was okay while he was sleeping. He observed the boy's behavior as he slept. Soon… soon enough, Airborne woke out of another nightmare frantic. Garble hugged Airborne immediately calming him down. "It's okay," Garble gently spoke. "I'm here for you. Same dream?" Airborne nodded. "That's some crazy imagination. Still, though, I will definitely tell your parents. You're going to be alright. You know what? I can't sleep either. So, want me to get you something to eat? It's only 2 am. I could get you a snack."

Airborne just looked up at Garble still in the hug and he spoke, "I can't… handle… food right now."

Garble nodded saying, "Okay. I understand. You've got quite the dream there, you know?"

"Yeah, it is," said Airborne timidly. "I wish I could make this stop."

Garble said, "Then… do something about it. Do anything that can rid the situation."

Airborne remembered that he must respond to the messages of "Astral Distress," but he does not know how he will be able to do so if his own parents do not believe that these are serious than they think. He looked down and freed himself from Garble's hug. Looking around the room by only shifting his eyes, he couldn't come up with any plan. It dawned on him this too. How long can he go? How long can he continue to dream these nightmares until he's had it? He worried about that most of all. He didn't want to dream this until what he believes, which is the entire world ending, comes.

Garble said, "That's okay. Just… I don't know. You can't sleep, so maybe… I'll find a sleeping draft or something to give to you for nightmares." Garble got up to walk away but his hand was instantly grabbed by Airborne's claw. The dragon looked at the hybrid. The hybrid's facial expression had such despair that bore a burden of sympathy and compassion on Garble. He resorted to sitting down next to Airborne once again and just comforting him. "I guess this is all I could do for now."

Airborne had eventually fallen back asleep into Garble's guardian-like, protective arms. Morning came with the 2 sleeping in the same bed. Airborne was under his sheets and Garble was just sleeping off on the end of the bed without being under the blankets. No contact was between the 2. Airborne woke up looking at Garble. "Uhhh… Garble?" Airborne said to the dragon. Garble woke up. He moaned in his sleep and rolled over. "Garb. Hey, Garb!"

Garble eventually spoke, "Nnn… what am I doing here? This isn't my- Oh Yeah. Wait, you went sleep and didn't let go of me!"

Airborne said, "Well at least you were warm. It was cold in my room too! December is a bad month for me."

Garble then said, "Dragons don't easily get cold. We-" His sentence was cut very short as he acknowledged Airborne's wings and body structure. "That's right. You're part changeling so being cold is going to happen to you. Bugs don't like this cold of weather. Sorry about that. I get it, now." He stood up. "But I'm sure glad you're feeling better."

Airborne then looked at the morning sky and saw that it was 7:30. He got out of bed and flew out of the bedroom. Heading downstairs, he went into the dining room to eat dinner. He saw his 2 parents and Spike there. Spike said, "Morning dude. Heard you couldn't sleep last night."

Airborne said, "Yeah… It was… hard. I'm really fricking tired though, so I really just wish I could go back to sleep again. Oddly enough, the third slumber didn't bother me at all."

Ember said, "That's good. Glad that was just a dream."

Airborne denied it. "Actually, it wasn't a dream. It was a distress warning. Someone, who is a crystal unicorn, has come to actually take over. He's… somehow crystalized everything."

Spike said nervously, "Wait… you are talking about a crystallizing unicorn?"

Airborne nodded yes. "He just… took over. Everything was black and red and purple by him."

Spike spoke surprised, "King Sombra…"

Airborne said, "Ohhhh, that makes sense. Crystal King, evil dark lord, yadda yadda yadda… I read the history books for fun when I was alone. So… he's back huh?"

Ember said, "So, you're telling me, Airborne, that you saw King Sombra in your dream? That's preposterous. I don't believe that story, but it sounds like a good one."

Spike said, "But Ember if he saw a world of

Ember said, "Oh yeah? What about the times where he read many books of fantasies, stories, many other fictional tales? Maybe he just had a dream from those. King Sombra was defeated by the Crystal Heart and Empire itself anyway. There's no way he could have returned."

Spike then thought about it. Airborne said, "But… but… mom, I've…"

Thorax said, "Airborne, it was just a dream. Now you're going to be late for school."

Airborne sighed. "Alright… I still would like to talk about this dream though."

Ember said, "We will, sweetie, but when you get home from school."

Airborne soon ate his breakfast and headed off to school. He was late though, as he was to be at school by 8 am and he made it at 8:01 am. The pink earth pony receptionist, Ms. Bristle, was there. She handed Airborne a detention slip happily. "Enjoy your punishment," she maliciously told Airborne. "You had this coming."

Airborne said, "I'm late by 1 minute. That's stupid just to give me detention."

Ms. Bristle said, "Do you have a doctor's note again? Or a parent's late note? Or anything?"

Airborne shook his head no. "Yeah… ummm… I just woke up late and… I pretty much couldn't-"

"That's no Excuse. Detention!" she said interrupting him. She had a rude smirk on her face.

Airborne thought about a page in the book of Unity that said something about killing with kindness. He then spoke to Ms. Bristle saying, "You know what? You're right. I'll take responsibility and I just want you to know that you have a very well-kept mane. Have a great day." He walked away to the principal's office. Ms. Bristle just looked at Airborne strangely. She couldn't help but think that he acted strangely. She shrugged it off and continued on with her day. Airborne went into the principal's office and sat down in a chair handing the brown unicorn the late slip. He then just sat there and began reading.

"You're late? About time you got caught," said Mr. Greenwald. "You most certainly-"

"I would advise that if you ever bully me, say anything rude to me, or even dare harm me in any way, my mother will eat you and she won't leave any bones left for anyone to find you," said Airborne with a threatening tone. "I'm not dealing with you today, so let me do my time and get this over with."

Mr. Greenwald gulped at his memories. The last encounter of Ember and him went to mortal danger very soon. He then spoke to Airborne, "Must I call your mother for you threatening me?"

"My mother would be more than happy for me to hurt you myself over anyone," said Airborne. "She absolutely will disregard anything you try to tell her when it comes to behavior."

Mr. Greenwald groaned and just facepalmed. He got to work. "You have 17 minutes left. It's already been 3."

And after sitting there for 20 minutes, Mr. Greenwald gave Airborne a pass to class. Airborne, though he was only hurt one time by Mr. Greenwald, felt that he couldn't forgive him for the things he had done. Airborne stood up saying, "You know I can't forgive you for hurting me like that."

Mr. Greenwald said, "Airborne, I don't care. I never believed you belonged at this school, to begin with. When I met you, I never wanted to see you again. But… you're a student. So, you will go here as long as you abide by all of my rules. Also, you don't have 3rd period Dragon Language with my wife anymore. You have it with Mrs. Helios."

Airborne smiled and then happily flew out of the room. He headed toward his first-period class. Flying around the open campus, it was the farthest classroom from the entrance of the school as he kept flying there. Landing in front of the classroom, he entered it. The room was math as it had many colorful numbers and mathematical symbols all around. There were 25 kids currently in the room, all of the different creatures. Griffins, hippogriffs, dragons, etc. The room was positioned exactly the same as Airborne's previous 3rd period's room. Airborne sat down in the seat he was assigned to which was in the desk. The teacher continued with her lesson while acknowledging, but not mentioning, Airborne's appearance. Eventually, she came over and to take the pass from the hybrid. This teacher was a pegasus resembling a white coat with minty green eyes, white hair, and a light green mane. She was a kind teacher. She still was getting used to Airborne's difference, but she was not harsh about it. "Do you have a pass?" she asked.

"Yes, Ms. Livela," Airborne answered handing her the pass. The teacher quietly explained to Airborne what lesson they were on and how he will need to study for benchmarks. "Can I have some help after school?"

Ms. Livela said, "Yes, you may come" with a warm smile. She left, trotting back to her desk as she let the class do their homework in the room. Airborne looked around and saw, a few rows to the right, a dragon child. The child was a light blue dragon who was slim. The dragon did not have wings as he was as short as Airborne, 4 feet tall. The dragon was also bipedal with no horns but spikes running down his head and back to the tail. Airborne knew the dragon as he just wondered what he was doing.

The changeling-dragon raised his hand and asked, "Ms. Livela, can I work with B'Zerk on the homework?"

"Yes you may," Ms. Livela said.

Airborne got up from his seat, moved down the classroom, and then went to B'Zerk. He whispered, "Hey, B'Zerk." Airborne then used an incantation to form a desk and chair. Panting a bit after that, he sat in it.

B'Zerk whispered with a slight growl, "Hey, Airborne! Glad you finally made it. I need help with my homework and I was wondering if you could do it for me."

Airborne replied, "Sorry, but you know that my answer is always no. I only help, not cheat."

B'Zerk laughed a bit saying, "I know, I know. I'm gonna have to ask though, how's the fire breath coming along?"

Airborne said, "I'm just puffing up smokes still. I'm trying to get to breathe actual flames."

B'Zerk then nodded saying, "Alright. Wanna hang out after school at the lava tub?"

Airborne shrugged saying, "I would, but I asked Ms. Livela for help in math already, not that I need it."

The blue dragon only rolled his eyes at Airborne. He knew Airborne is a savant in school. "We get it. You're great."

Airborne said, "No, actually what I meant was, I wanted to just talk with her after school. I am really interested in staying away from my home after my dream."

"Airborne, you do know that your parents will get worried, right?" the blue dragon asked.

Airborne said, "Yeah, I do. But I just wanted to… be away from home for a little longer. I had an awful dream that the world was being crystallized."

B'Zerk replied with an "Oooooohhhh! That sounds entertaining. Tell me. What happened next?"

Airborne breathed in and out. Looking around, he said, "I… saw the entire world… completely crystallized, even the sun and moon, and King Sombra laughing as a shadow."

B'Zerk said, "Hah. Must have been all the books you read. Seriously, man! How do you keep yourself so interested in bland paper with words? I'm more of a rock n roll, free-spirited dragon myself."

"I always liked learning," Airborne said. "And school out me through many tough challenges that I excelled past my grade level. Right now though, I'm more upset about my dream than my grades."

B'Zerk made an exasperating gag. "Don't remind me of grades. I hate mine."

Airborne asked, "Why do you?"

B'Zerk said, "Because I'm failing math and if I don't pass, I'm going to fail. I'd ask you to do my homework for me and use your magic to give me all the correct answers, but you're too 'good' for that." Airborne nodded. He then began pulling out a textbook from underneath the seat. The seat had a cage that held the textbooks. He then flopped it onto the desk, got out a pencil and paper from "stashed away spot behind his back, and then began doing his homework. "I mean… it's not like I'm asking you to do the homework for me." Airborne just continued doing his own homework. "But… I would really… need your help." Airborne didn't listen. "Pleeeaaaassseeee?! I need you! I need you to do my homework and help me pass this class! Can't you find some incantation or something?!" Airborne looked up at B'Zerk.

"I can't help you cheat," the changeling-dragon said. "That wouldn't be the honest effort Princess Twilight taught me. I'd rather help you, but I can't do things for you."

B'Zerk made the sad eyes grabbing Airborne's hands. "Pleeeaaassseeee?! You're my only hope! I'll do anything! Anything! Want a ticket to the rock concert? Fine! I'll give you my ticket! I just can't fail math."

Airborne groaned, being indecisive of which choice. He then thought about what Twilight would do and then he thought about what Starlight would do, and then he thought about how his parents would feel if they found out, and then he thought about how happy and stress free B'Zerk could be, and then he thought of the book of Unity and what it would say. Airborne answered B'Zerk saying, "I can't do that. I'm sorry."

B'Zerk got angry and almost yelled saying, "I've been there for you plenty of times! You were once sick and I bought you some medicine. Plus, there were times you were late for school and… wait that wasn't me. There were times where… I uhh…" He then thought of the things he did for Airborne. "Oh, and I am the one who helped you another time… get… umm…"

Airborne said, "Well, I can tell you that I appreciate you reminding of the kind gestures, I can not cheat. I may be late for school on occasion, but I don't want to get you behind father in your education that you need. Just because I do stupid things does not mean I can allow you to do them. I am working on myself just as you need to work on yourself."

B'Zerk said, "Who cares about education? It's just stupid material schools give you to just-"

Ms. Livela was listening from her desk the whole time. She interrupted B'Zerk by clearing her throat and looking directly at him. The dragon looked at the teacher knowing he heard everything she said and stopped talking altogether. He looked down upset.

Airborne glanced at the teacher. He then turned his attention to B'Zerk knowing that he was upset. "I'm sorry…" That was all the hybrid could say.

B'Zerk asked quietly, "Why are even friends if you don't help me anymore?"

Airborne responded quietly, "I… thought we were friends."

B'Zerk angrily whispered, "And friends do favors for each other. You should be helping me as a friend would. You've done my homework for quite some time. Why did you stop? No wait, let me guess. Ever since you got that book from Twilight, you've decided to become a different person? And if so, then you chose a bad time because now it's December and if I fail my benchmark, I have to repeat this year. Now, will you help me?"

Airborne then rubbed his head stressed a bit, but he couldn't stand the thought of B'Zerk failing. However, the morals and friendship lesson from Twilight kept fighting against his will to give in to B'Zerk's request. "I… can't. Twilight told me-"

B'Zerk then mocked Airborne, "'Twilight this, Twilight that,' you keep saying. And now I'll fail a year and fall behind because of you."

The hybrid could only finish up his work. He then put it away and stuffed the homework in his backpack to turn in tomorrow. Airborne also looked at B'Zerk who was upset. "I'm… sorry."

B'Zerk said, "Don't be. You're always the "good kid." I know I shouldn't be asking someone as high and moral as you to do something for me."

Airborne felt worse inside. He then started breathing in and closing his eyes. He then spoke, "And are you my friend at all if all you care is me doing your work? If so, then you were never my friend, to begin with. Friends don't use each other, they help each other, and if you can't find it in your heart to care for me instead of what I can do for you, then I guess this is over." The changeling-dragon then stood up and walked over to his desk. He then sat down in it.

After class, Airborne was about to head toward his second-period classroom and B'Zerk walked over to Airborne.

B'Zerk said, "Wait… So… you know I was kidding, right? I would never-" Airborne just walked away without listening to the rest. B'Zerk followed behind catching up. "Wait! Wait. Give me another chance, okay? I shouldn't have said that stuff back there and I'm sorry. But fine, I would really like some help in math. Not… you doing the work for me. Is that alright?"

Airborne smiled back and said, "Alright, I forgive you. And hey, just because I'm being lazy in coming to school, I don't want other people to do what I do. My morals sound broken… yeah… that sounds stupid… but I'm trying to at least do my best in coming here on time."

The 2 dragons laughed. Airborne then looked around the school. In a swift moment, the ground crystallized. It varied in many colors: red, black, purple. It spread slowly across the campus as many creatures began panicking as it soon became clear that King Sombra's coming. The 2 dragons flew up to observe the school. Once they were in the air, they looked down. The creatures were turned into crystal and stood in place trying from where they froze. B'Zerk tried to speak to Airborne, but all the changeling-dragon hybrid do was scream as they both were being turned into a crystal statue. Airborne screamed with all of his might without any sense of comprehension to the world. It was as if he had gone completely insane.

The world transformed in Airborne's vision. He saw a room. A room with lights and no crystal. Nothing was crystallized. He felt a warm, comfy fabric underneath him. He appeared to be in the school nurse's office. Airborne looked around wondering why he was there, why was he still at school, what just happened, and what was going on. He didn't understand anything except that his front left leg now hurts. He rubbed his leg, caressing it with comfort. Feeling it only hurt in one spot. He saw bandages wrapped on it and couldn't help but question what went wrong.

The changeling nurse walked up to Airborne and said, "It's alright, dear. I just gave you a shot with a tranquilizer to put you to sleep. You're awake now and you're all better. I think you had a seizure." The child just looked at the nurse. He unwrapped the bandages, but the nurse quickly stopped his claws. "Please don't mess with those." Airborne now stopped trying to unwrap them. He could only imagine how the whole situation went down. "Do you remember what happened?" Airborne shook his head no. "I was afraid of that." The nurse sadly told the changeling-dragon the next part. "Students reported that you panicked right in front of their eyes. The moment you walked out of class and talking to a blue dragon, you couldn't help but scream as loud as you could. You then twitched, thrashed around, and fell to the ground panicking, twitching, shaking, and thrashing. I was afraid of what happened to you once the administration rushed into my office and told me the news. As this nurse's office is a certified hospital room now, we can give you shots, treatments, all kinds of help like a normal hospital. I came outside and shot you with a tranquilizer gun. You must have felt so delirious, but that only worked for a short moment that you blacked out instantly. We brought you here once I put you out, administration and me. I checked to see what was wrong with you and... You just… had… such an irregular pattern of brain activity. You started seizing again, opening up your eyes and screaming while thrashing once again. I had to give you another shot in the same arm and up the dosage by 3. You lost yourself entirely after that and was unconscious for hours. Are you alright?"

Airborne looked down sadly. "No…" He couldn't feel any sense of joy. He was more embarrassed behind his powers. He knew the seizure came from them. "Can I tell you that being a hybrid has its problems?"

The nurse sadly spoke, "I'm so sorry. But this has not happened before. Why is it happening now?"

Airborne said, "I wish I could tell you but you won't believe me…"

The nurse then rubbed Airborne's hand and sat next to him on the bed. Her eyes glisten as if they symbolized a mother's love. Those eyes made Airborne feel safer, a bit more comfortable around her. The feeling of her hand was like a maternal angel trying to keep the one they love safe. "Please tell me. I will never make fun of you for it," she said concerned and loving distress.

Airborne leaked a few tears and said, "My powers are causing me to act this way." He let out a few more years after that. They dropped onto the bed, rolling down. It was a cold, waterproof fabric that was on the bed. "King Sombra has returned and he is trying to take over Equestria. No one believes me. I just wanted to tell someone the news but that was futile. All I ever wanted to do was help others, but my parents and uncle Spike didn't help me."

The nurse smiled a bit. "Well, thank you for opening up to me. For quite some time now, I've noticed you use incantations. When I walk around the school, I've never seen anything like it." It was true. Over a period of time now, Airborne has shown kids at this school the power of his magic and his affectionate friendliness toward others. "I recall a special story of the administration taking you to the office for it." This one very day, Airborne eventually was seen as dangerous, so administration had forced him into the principal's office. "I heard the principal scold you for using magic at school, but you seemed yourself to be showing the goodness of magic to the dragons rather than using it against the school. You said that you learned much from the book of Unity and magic was an element of friendship. And you were right, Airborne. I believed you every step of the way." Airborne tilted his head a bit to the side. "And I know that because of you, things have been better at the school. The principal still scolded you for teaching magic, but that was unlawful of him. Your mother, she came in like a rushing hurricane and snatched that principal by the neck." The nurse laughed softly.

Airborne said, "Yeah. She said, 'My son has done absolutely nothing wrong. All you do is bully him. And I'm sick of you that I'm filing a major complaint.' And she did. The superintendent ripped apart that principal to shreds with his words. Hehe. He told the principal that if he did that again, he would be fired."

The nurse continued on, "And all you wanted to do was make friends and be special. Well, you're uniting the school, aren't you? Just like the book said on the cover, 'Unity.' I'm very happy to see that you are much happier in school. Hey, who knows? You'll probably make your own school like how Princess Twilight made hers."

Airborne said, "Yeah… maybe… if… I could pretty much do more than just teach about magic."

The nurse let go of Airborne's hands and put one of her own hands on his Airborne's chin. "You will. You'll be something special someday. I see great changes with you, Airborne. And I believe in you." The nurse let go and stood up. "Now, do you want me to call your parents?"

Airborne said, "Yes. Please do so… and thanks for the talk."

The nurse bowed in respect and walked to her phone. Airborne just lies his head back down on the bed and went to sleep. He could soon sleep on how happy he was to know that the nurse listened to him.
