"It would make sense. My best guess is that something happened that changed everything. Nothing happens without something to make it happen."

It seemed pretty likely to him, though he didn't exactly know what could've caused the dragons to change.

"I'm not sure what happened, but perhaps it's magic related."

"Or it's just something that has happened with time." Ruby pointed out "It could be that few bloodlines gave up magic and emotion for reason or another, and the one's who didn't, perished either with time or in claws of those who did." "Or it could be that that type of dragons never even lived in our lands, and back then some of our kind turned to our current way of life, leaving the home lands behind and taking over where we life now." she explained "Later would explain how there is books about our language, since it would mean that there still could be that type of dragons somewhere."

"I guess that's possible."

Somnus kept walking until he saw a yellow pegasus. It was Fluttershy.

"Hey, we kinda need your help. I've managed to help Ruby gain new emotions, but she needs to learn to control them."

"Well I c-"

"Also don't use the stare, she doesn't exactly like that."

"Oh, you don't need to worry. I'm sure I can help Ruby."

Ruby didn't say anything, she just looked at the yellow pegasus quietly with her usual non-caring facial expression. She kept her eyes on the pegasus' body to avoid eye contact for obvious reason.

"Let's start with this. How are you at controlling your emotions now?"

Somnus looked at Ruby and back at Fluttershy.

"She has room for improvement, I guess Ruby would be better at telling you."

"Not any better than the last time we met." Ruby coldly stated "Now there's just more things causing me to want drop this form and bite or burn something."

"She also broke a mirror."

"Oh my. Have you just focused on the negative or did you try to think of something positive?"

"I was focusing on not changing form in wooden pony-filled flying ship." Ruby mentioned "You really can't think positives when you can't think anything unnecessary at all."

"Ok, what made you angry enough to break the mirror?"

She was probably trying figure out what this problem was to see if she could start from there.

It wasn't the anger itself that had made her to break the mirror, but that wasn't important "He did." Ruby simply replied, pointing at Somnus "Though you could say it's really you ponies in general since it wasn't anything unique to him."

"We had an argument earlier."

"I see. It's clear that you allowed yourself to be upset by words. Both of you."

"Both?"

"Yes, if it was an argument, both of you have a similar problem."

"Yes, if it was an argument, both of you have a similar problem."

"Yes, that is what is known as an argument." Ruby commented, just as coldly as before, it didn't take genius to figure out that arguments are formed when two sides don't like each other's words "And I can tell you exactly what pisses me of if that's necessary, but I don't see what it has to do with control over emotions you don't even know names of for sure."

"Usually even if you don't know what you are feeling, you usually know what is wrong. Have you tried talking about your problems?"

"That could work for her."

"Don't think that you aren't getting help too Somnus, you clearly have an issue with compromise just like I did a while back."

"You need to be more specific." Ruby stated "Because I'm very vocal about things I have problem with, but I have a feeling that that's not what you mean." she gave a single emotionless laugh "And I think you should tell a bit about compromise to your whole species, because Somnus is not the only one with that problem."

"So, any ideas?"

"First we start with Ruby."

She turned to Ruby.

"Ruby, tell Somnus why you were so upset at him."

"Ruby, tell Somnus why you were so upset at him."

"Like i said before, this is not problem with him only, but as you wish." Ruby pointed out, as she turned towards Somnus "You ponies are so blinded by this illusion that you're perfect and every other creature is wrong." "I have given everything from my freedom to decide my own actions and choices, to my own language and physical form to be living in a place where I'm easy to keep an eye on with a treasure I have no control over." "Yet you complain how I don't follow your made up rules like manners and morals, your codes of respect, and every time I get to a same space with a pony, they either fear me, want to stab me..." she looked at Fluttershy momentarily "...or mind control me." she looked back at Somnus "And when I point it out, when I remind you that I'm not a pony, that there's certain things I can't do, or don't want to do, you try to shame me, and you tell me that ponies don't owe me anything, that I am the one asking more than I deserve." at some point of Ruby's rant, her eyes had changed to their reptile form.

"Ok, um... how do you feel?"

She noticed the change in eyes, but it didn't hurt to ask.

"I'm not sure if that worked."

"Pissed" Ruby simply growled "Like one should expect after that." "I know what you were trying to do, but talking doesn't mean anything if the other side doesn't care what you say." "And it has been proven several times that you ponies care only about yourselves"

As the days passed, Butler Serve still waiting in the library without eating anything for the past 3 days just to receive Captain Rose's directive, he slightly grunts in the library slamming the book on the table the butler leaves the Royal Library by slamming the door heads straight at Captain Rose's Office
 

"I have waited long enough now, I must talk to Captain Rose directly head on!" 

He said with low and irate voice while heading to Captain Rose's Offce

Somnus didn't say anything, he actually felt a little bad, it was easy to tell. He only wanted to help.

"I think you're looking at this all wrong. If no one cared about you, then no one would help you. Just look at Somnus, he's gone out of his own way just to help you."

"I didn't say nobody cares about me, I'm not an idiot, it's obvious Somnus more or less does, though I could argue that you saying it helps me is more of you thinking you're always the ones in the right, since I had no problems I needed help with before this 'helping' started, the 'helping' really has only created things I need help with." Ruby pointed out "What I said was you don't care about what I say, and until there some kind of change happening somewhere, you can't tell me that you do."

Somnus was still quiet, were the problems his fault?

"I think Somnus is just now fully figuring this out. I don't think the idea was wrong, just the lack of planning ahead. You do have a good point."

"Of course you think the idea isn't wrong because it's pony-idea, it's what you see as right" Ruby pointed out "But I still don't get why all this matters though." she continued "This was supposed to be about how can I control emotions I don't even know the name of for sure."

"Well, if you want me to tell you what the emotions are, you need to describe what you feel."

"How exactly do you describe something like it?" Ruby questioned "A different kind of anger? Frustration?" "All I know it was anger, possible guilt and something else, something unpleasant, maybe even painful."

Fluttershy didn't know quite what she meant, but she knew her emotions were negative.

"Well, one solution is to think of more positive things. While you may believe that you gotta focus on staying in your pony form, you won't need to when focusing on something positive."

Somnus spoke up.

"I'd say that it makes sense."
