"Well, I've read about dragons before, the book said that dragons are about as big as a house, they breathe fire, and they hoard dimes, gems, and other stuff to their home, or cave. But I've never seen one before"

 

 

"About tree years ago where the Great Dragon migration, there where thousands of dragons flying in the sky heading east. It could be seen from Canterlot, just barly as they flew really far away. Still it was visible!"

 

 

 

'i don't think i'll ever look into her eyes again' whispered summer to flearia. it was ment as a joke but she was also quiet serious about it.

 

She nodded quietly to Summers comment, "I know what you meen Summer, But I doubt that Emerald Bolt will do us any harm, altough there is a few ways to avoid it, and non magic as magic don't work on that tecnike." She whispered while noting some of them down on a paper she held in her magic.

"I can see I have frightened some of you, I can tell." Emerald smiled nervously to the class then turned to Terra "thanks for volunteering you can sit down now." She looked back at the class "now know that I would never do this to anyone here, but others of my kind may that is why I will teach you in defence class. Now I'm a fly again." Emerald flew back to the of the classroom and sat and watched the others.

Autumn was still amazed at what Emerald had done with her magic. She noticed that some of the students were just as shocked as she was. As Emerald flew off Autumn shook her head to come back to reality. 

 

"These are all wondrous and amazing creatures and we witnessed some of the magic that Emerald, a Vampire pony, could do just with a glimpse of her eyes. 

 

Now, out time is nearly done, but I do have some homework for you all. Please research dragons, any type, there are many different species of dragons just as there are many different types of ponies. You can find quite a lot of information in your books from chapter 5-9. It covers a wide variety of the dragons. 

 

I will see you all, not tomorrow, but the day after. Enjoy your day class!"

 

Autumn played with her scarf as the students gathered their books and scrolls. She waved goodbye as they started to head back to the castle. She turned to head back into her cottage, but she heard something quite odd coming from the woods. She turned, trying to look as deep as she could. Then like a flash something flew from one side of the forest to another part. She would have missed it if she had blinked. She looked towards her students, making sure that none of them were still waiting for her or trying to play a trick. But she counted them all and they were all on their way to the castle. 

 

She quickly and quietly made her way into the woods. She was too curious not to check it out. 

 

 

The bell rang and the halls were quickly filled with students rushing to their next classes.

Emerald walked out the classroom slowly, she little to do in ways of prep for her own class, so was going to explore the school until it was time for that. Gonna see how good those seniors were with their directions. It was a beautiful day outside and through the windows the sun was lovely today. Celestia has made more effort than usual today.

'well, this was quiet a scary class, wasn't it' summer said to flearia and hack tune. she still felt a bit shakey from what happened, but she was happy it was miss emerald and not professor mirror. miss emerald was a nice pony and summer trusted her, but she couldn't say the same for professor mirror.

'now english/literature, right?' summer said, she liked english, at least that was something without magic. but summer wasn't as scared for it as she was yesterday. maybe one day i'll learn it she though. then she looked up to the sky, it was a beautifull day today. the sun was shining bright and it made her want to go outside. maybe they could have lunch outside today?

The bell rang and the halls were quickly filled with students rushing to their next classes. 

 

Hearing the bell ring that signaled the next class made Flearia want to stick around to get to know what Professor Autumn had reserched about her own companion and the words Autumn had said before made her both worried and confused... looking to Irra who still where sleeping on her head behind her horn.

 

Almost on automatic she followed Summer and Hacktune towards the next class, still with her head full.

 

 

They need to be given the room to grow and the structure to listen to the ponies that they bond with. They cannot be allowed to run free or without direction.

 

'well, this was quiet a scary class, wasn't it'

 

Summers words broke Flearia out of her own toughts, "A-ay. Scary class." she uttered while Summer and HackTune talked about what next class would be. "I think we will have english, it's not far from here." 

Soon the tree of them where in the classroom tough Flearia was once again lost in her toughts while placing herself down on the seats and levitated out some papers and fevirishly wrote down a mindstorm session about her toughts, quickly filling up two papers.

"Well, It's just made me curious, what's happening inside the pony brain who's being controlled or hypnotized. It's just  Awesome that somepony could manipulate other pony mind to do what they want. So Yeah.." He gave a smile to Summer.

 'hey, fle. what are you thinking about? worried about something?'  summer smiled 

"Preparing for the English Class?" HackTune commented

 

"I'm thinking about what Professor Autumn said in class about Irra, and i'v figured I don't get what she meen by it." Flearia said as she sunk down on the bench while listening to Summer talk to Hacktune about hypnosis not being awsome, What's asome about being unable to controll yourself... 

 

"What happens if you get a mindcontroll spell on you? your mind is activ and you are councious about everything you do. unable to do anything about it.

The professor stopped halfway in through the doorway.  He'd been furious with himself for being late.  All he'd wanted was a quick drink of water...and being so new to the University, he'd managed to get himself lost along the way.  Now, everything was a mess.  Class was starting, the Headmaster was talking over the intercom....

 

He hated being late.  It wasn't like him at all.  He expected his students to be on time; it was a terrible example to set for them.  If he was only better with magic, he could have just whisked himself away, popped in right next to his desk with a sly smile.

 

But no.  He was going to be late.

 

All the students were standing up from their chairs, getting ready to go down to the dining hall.  Script just sighed.

 

He followed them on their way.

[Stardust* 3,302]

After the students took their seats Headmaster Greyhoof stood and walked to the podium. 

 

"I thank you all for making your way here in a rather quick manner. There is a rather urgent matter at hand that we must discuss. I am hoping that you all will be able to help or at least have some type of information." Greyhoof took a deep breath, to calm his nerves. 

 

"It has come to my attention that a student has gone missing, a third year mare, an earth pony. She never made it to her house last night and she did not attend her first class of the day. I am bringing this to everyponies attention simply because I hope that this is just a misunderstanding and maybe she got lost and didn't manage to get to her own house on time and therefore stayed with another house. I am also hoping that her absence is due to oversleeping, or the case of the horse flu." He waited just a moment for that to sink in. He heard the flutter of hushed whispers among the students. This was a good thing, they were talking, this could lead to her whereabouts. 

 

"Please, if you have any information contact myself or any of the staff immediately so we can put this matter to bed. It is my job to make sure that every student is accounted for and taken care of. Now, with that being said, please to be aware of the sign ups for the Horse Hockey Team tryouts, they will be held soon." He looked around the dining hall half hoping that the young mare would be within the ranks of the students. 

 

"You may all go back to your classes, and please, any information, anything at all, let a teacher, staff, or myself know immediately. That is all." Greyhoof turned and started down the platform and through a side door. 

 

Students were chattering as they started to leave the dining hall heading back to their classes.

"Just like every species traits are passed down from their parents. However there are recessive genes, these are such things as if a mother and father both have brown eyes and dark hair, but there was a distant relative that had blue eyes and light hair then it is entirely possible that the child could have blue eyes and light hair even though her parents did not. So, it is entirely possible that some of these abilities that you are experiencing could be a recessive gene that some of your ancestors had and it just wasn't present until you were born."

Professor Mirror stood behind and to the left of the Headmaster.  Cloaked in his shadows, it was difficult to say he was even there at all.  Carefully, he listened to what he had to say.

 

If you have any information....

 

He imagined the young mare that had vanished.  In his mind's eye, she swam in the soothing blue and green ocean within the sphere in his desk.  Then he imagined his Queen.  He could almost hear her laughter echoing in his ears.  The sound of it sent a shudder up his spine, like the legs of spiders, crawling up the center of his back.

 

The Headmaster's words died from the air in the dining hall.  The Professor's horn shimmered gently and he ceased to exist.

 

...when he stepped from the shadows once more, he was in his room again.  The mirror in the corner was covered with its dust cloth.  The artifact was hidden away in his desk.  Neither was nearly as harmless as they seemed to be.  He needed to speak to his fellow Professor again, Turner.  He needed to know how much he truly understood about the danger at hand.

 

And for his part, Smoking Mirror needed to decide if he actually intended on stopping it.

He took up a position in front of the class, his eyes sweeping across all of them.  "Now, before we get started today, I want to talk a little bit about Headmaster Greyhoof's message," he said, his tone growing serious.  "I want each and every one of you to know that -- even above the classes I teach here at the school -- it's absolutely vital to me that every student in attendance at the University can feel secure in their safety.  I realize that many of you are magically inclined," he looked briefly upon Flearia next to Summer Breeze.  "Many of you are quite powerful and capable.  But I also want you to know that you have my solemn promise that I will protect every single one of you, no matter what it takes.  So if any of you are frightened or worried that something might happen to you...please.  You can come to me at any time and I'll do what's necessary to make sure you're safe."
