Baseplate looked nonplussed, sighing has he closed his eyes, "Princess Sparkle isn't my mother, she's my 'Temporary Guardian' while they try to find my real parents." He snorted and rolled his eyes at the last part, "Like that'll ever happen, until then I live at Princess Sparkle's castle with Spike. As to an accidental sneeze, were it true it would be all the more worrisome, what if he 'accidentally' sneezes on one of us? While this room may be fireproof we certainly are not."

 

Baseplate gained a slight smile, he was actually enjoying this interaction.

Baseplate shrugged, all the talking and rules in the world wouldn't stop an accident. And it didn't look like the dragon had burned the book on accident, which had its own set of worrisome implications.

 

He sat back in his chair, a skeptical expression on his face directed at the dragon teacher, content to see where this would be going.

Sappy turned off the lights in the classroom, making it really dark, almost to the point that you couldn’t see anything. Sappy set his tail on fire and used it as a torch, then he brought it up to his face and spoke in a dark and mysterious voice. “Gather ‘round children, for I will tell you a story about the northern ponies” He leaned in closer “The northern ponies where the world’s most fearsome, and strongest warriors in equestrian before the two sisters came to rule” He took out a big poster with a northern pony. It resembled a giant earth pony, with big armor and metal hooves. “This, was one of the many clan leaders from the ancient times. His name was Colossus Shatter Hoof” Sappy paused, to let the information sink in “Legends say, that the crater near Ponyville was caused by this very pony.” He extinguished his tail, which made the room go dark again.

 

“It all happened during the great war…” Said Sappy. He ignited both his talons “Two clans where fighting for territory. This territory was actually Colossus’s, but they didn’t know that. But, a scout from Colossus’s clan spotted the war, and the leader galloped out to protect his territory” He moved his right claw in a running like motion.

Baseplate's skepticism rose greatly, his face hardly having enough room for his eyebrow to be raised on.

 

Nonetheless, he was going to be a good student even if the teacher made up everything they said. He grabbed a new sheet from his bag, the glow of his horn banishing the darkness from his desk as he wrote.

Larger Earth Ponies from north, practically horses, fearsome fighters. Then a war for territory. If north why near Ponyville?

 

He raised a hoof, "Excuse me, two questions. When would you say this happened? You simply said 'before the princesses', how long before? Also, if they were northerners, why would he have made a crater near Ponyville? We're practically in the middle of the continent."

 

Skepticism had paid off in his last school, let's see if it pays off here.

Sappy’s eyes glowed with happiness from those questions “Excellent questions! These times where before the founding of equestrian, I can’t give you the exact year however, but it was before the three tribes otherwise known as the pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies lived.” He rolled down the map of Equestria, and pointed at ponyville “That was a good observation, with the name and all young one. However, these great warriors travelled all across the land, and have raided and pillaged everything around the world, so it would make sense that they eventually reached the middle of the continent. They are called northerners because they were born in the northern part of the world, which I personally think is not the most fitting name” Said Sappy. He looked back at the pony who asked the questions “Anymore excellent questions?”

Fudge and Sundae watched the dragon's history lesson, their eyes wider than dinner plates at his depiction of Colossus Shatter Hoof. He was an earth pony, just like them, but more importantly a prominent figure in Equestrian history! They then listened intently at the ancient warriors of Northern Equestria and took notes using their jaws in their notebooks. When the teacher asked for questions, Fudge raised his hoof, dropping his pencil with his teeth

 

"Raided and pillaged?" he asked. "You mean like pirates?"

As the room was darkened out and Mr Lappy started a fire on his own TAIL! Walleria started to think that Mr. Lappy was quite strange, She'v seen dragons do this before on social gatherings and putting on shows like how she herself loves to show of her airial skills. She gripped her own tail closer to herself as to not accidently get to close. She didn't want her hair on it to bur up! It would take a really long time to get it as fluffy as it was now!

 

As the story of thease north ponies whent on she tought about what she had been told about the northern part of the world, and that it was really cold! 

 

Her mind was spinning to the tale tough she didn't interupt. She just sat at her chair curled up holding her tail tight.

"Raided and pillaged?" he asked. "You mean like pirates?"

 

Sappy nodded "Yes! Exactly. That is a very good comparison"

He chuckled at the second question, “I do not know, but there is no evidence saying they did, and I have no reason to believe so either. So I’m going to say no, but who knows? Maybe the strong and fearless warriors, had a soft side to them as well”

Quill listened to this 'tale' the old nations did fight one another at times but this story was far fetched she knew this, being quite a book horse herself she'd read about the general history of Ponyvile before she'd moved here nothing was really noted about conflict due to it's proximity to the capital or back then under unicorn protection. No earth pony even the big ones were no match for the unicorn nation soldiers, however it was a nice story.

 

She jotted down a few things her white magic glowing in the dark classroom, even if this was fiction or fact it was part of local history something she should know and learn. Who knows when it might be important?

[Bracket Sparks 49]

Stormy had scarfed down his lunch and entered the classroom with most every pony, when the classroom darkened and Mr. Lappy's tale began Stormy was interested and confused, listening to the other ponies questions he agreed with them, but he was still confused. In his old history books in Cloudsdale, they said that before the rein of the princesses Discord was the ruler.

 

"Um, Mr. Lappy, if this happened before the princesses, where was discord? was this before him?" Stormy hoped for answers even if they were vague. His curiosity was eating at his doubt of the story's origin, so he didn't question it.

@@Bracket Sparks,

 

Sappy shook his head” Tsk tsk, pay attention young one. Like I mentioned earlier, this was before the foundation of equestrian, so before Discord was even known.” Said Sappy as he wrote down some notes on the board with his tail.

Giant Earth ponies, Colossus Shatter Hoof, Warriors, before foundation of eques. He put away the chalk, and looked out at the classroom. “I shall continue my tale then”

 

 

 

He flipped off the lights, and ignited both his talents again, to regain the mood. “Colossus Shatter Hoof arrived at the war, and when he saw his lovely village and people slaughtered before him, because of the two fighting clans. Colossus collected all his strength and with a mighty stomp, he created a big ravine.” He smashed his two ignited talons against each other, to create an explosive effect. “I believe we call it “The Ghastly Gorge” He turned on the lights and laughed “But this is nothing but a tale unfortunately. While great these warriors where, they didn’t possess that amount of strength. They struggled enough against unicorns and pegasi, who simply shot them from the skies or afar” Said Sappy. He looked up at the clock “Anyways, that was my time. Do you have any questions for me, before I depart?” Asked Sappy

Baseplate's eyes widened at the rather rude response that the dragon had for Stormy. It certainly wasn't out of the question for Discord to have been around at the specified point of time. He was also surprised by the changeable nature of the dragon's responses, going from accepting of the less important questions like the yo-yo to quite discouraging in the case of more legitimate questions.

 

He was a bit confused by Metal Legs' questions, surely he was around when Discord attacked right? That was only a year or so ago by his reckoning.

 

Not to be deterred, he raised his hoof again as his magic erased the last few lines of his notes. "If this was all just a tale, why are we bothering to learn about something so ancient? And who's to say that the Earth ponies back then didn't posses the strength or knowledge to trigger a fault-line? Mr. Macintosh could probably do something similar, given a strike in the right place, and given your description Colossus was even bigger and stronger than Mr. Macintosh may ever be."

 

He grew sheepish at his own boldness in speaking, his hoof wavered, "Apologies if I misspoke."

Sappy grinned "You raise some interesting points young one, are you sure you are a kid? Anyways, i have no clue of who Mr. Macintosh is, but judged by the way you portray him he sounds like a strong pony. HOWEVER, while that could be a possibility, you have to think about the fact that these warriors weren't that smart. Not even in battles. All they had is strength and pure combat skill. So i couldn't see him doing something that strategically wise. On top of that, i believe i might have over exaggerated the story a bit. The northerners were strong yes, but they don’t have the power to single handily create a ravine of that caliber.” He brought a talon up to his chin “But then again, I’m not really sure of how potent an earth pony’s magic is, nor have I read up a lot on this subject…” Sappy started muttering for himself, suddenly pacing back and forth, mulling over different possibilities.

 

 

He then remembered, that there was another question to answer “Why I told this tale? Because of this! I believe its important to question stories that you hear, on whether or not it is reliable. So I chose a story with the fewest backed up evidence, to the point that it is almost a legend. But it’s perfect to raise questions, don’t you agree? Plus, this story is very interesting in my opinion. Its unlike anything I’ve read before! And I ca-“ He stopped himself, with a sheepish smile

 

 

“My apologies. I will stop now. Anyways, I will try to get copies of a new history book for you all, to read at home. Princess Twilight has ordered copies, but I might be able to get them faster.” He took off his hat for a farewell gesture “Anyways, I hope that you lot found my first class enjoyable, despite me not trying to teach before, and you ALL seem like wonderful and ambitious students that I can’t wait to meet again.
