Light Guardian

New Teacher

Nashi laid on her side near Lac de Pixie, relaxing in the sun with her sisters after a tough Rugaru hunt with her friends Sam and Dean. Two humans that hunt supernatural monsters. She took a deep breath and slowly let it out, enjoying the heat from the sun.

"You awake there Nashi" Iyawnaws' voice spoke. Nashis' eyes opened and she lifted her head, "Yea, I'm awake, mostly."

"Good enough" her mother chuckled, "Though I have a few people I want you to meet."

"Alright" the 19yr old mare rolled yo her hooves.

"This is your new student I told you about" Iyawnaw looked down at Sam, who stood next to her.

"Ah yea, Samantha right" Nashi looked over the pygmi.

"Yes ma'am" the nerves of being in the presence of five high royals finally hitting her.

"Just call me Nashi, please" she insisted.

"None of us have really liked being all formal" Iyawnaw chuckled. Sam simply nodded.

An hour later and Sam and her friends got to know a bit about Nashi and the three of her sisters there. Nashi showed the five teens their new home. Jackie and Zacks' relatives lived next to each other near the palace so most of the group of friends went with them to get settled in. Nashi gave the girls the rest of the day to settle into their apartment. Sam and Thelma decided to share a room, as did Lizzy and Izzy, Bryce and Zander as well as Sally and Vivian. Sam and Thelma got the room with the best view of the landscape.

"Y'know, I never thought I'd ever get a view like this" Thelma looked away from the bookcase to her girlfriend who stood by the window with Roxana clinging to her neck.

"You can say that again" she chuckled, not even trying to keep the amusement from her voice. Sam chuckled, turning to see the smirk on the bookworms muzzle.

"Seriously though, this view is great" Thelma walked over and stood next to Sam.

"Yea it is. Reading and seeing pictures about it is one thing, but actually seeing it" she said in awe. Sam simply hummed, nuzzling into her side. Roxy climbed up and settled between her owners ears, snuggling into her dark green hair.

"Lets finish getting stuff set up" Sam said, ignoring the black n' white chinchilla on her head. It took the two young mares awhile to finish unpacking their things. Sam set up a hammock and cat tower in the corner by the window for Roxy. Thelma filled up most of the medium sized bookcase in their room with spell and lore books, along with normal story books. It was almost sunset when they finished and cooked dinner with Sallys' help.

The next morning the five Pygmi Forest Alicorns got up at 6am to meet up with Nashi. The eldest princess waited in the Royal gym, the royal family mostly used it, for her new student and her friends. She told the other teachers to wait in a nearby field the night before. She heard the girls talking before the entered the room, laughing about joke Izzy said.

"Mornin' girls" Nashi giggled from the joke.

"Morning Nashi" the five teens laughed.

"I hope you and your friends got settled in well" Nashi smiled. The group of teens nodded.

"Good, now the other trainers are waiting in a field nearby so lets go" the 19yr old princess spread her wings and flew through the giant open window. The girls quickly followed the dragoness, flapping their wings twice as much as they could keep up with the bigger mare. After about a three minute flight Nashi landed near a cliff. Below the cliff was a vast field with a border of large trees making a circle. A lake hugged one side of the field before disappearing into the forest. Jóse, Rosie, and the two other trainers were relaxing by said lake. Nashi led the girls down along a path the lake had cut into the rock. As they made their way down, Ákos flew over them and landed by the lake. The albino Stormcutter shook his wings as he leaned down to drink.

"Now Sam, I've heard about what you can do but I would like to see for myself" Nashi said to the younger teen next to her.

"Okay" she said as the 19yr old created fire monsters for her to hit. The pygmies friends stood by the lake with their trainers to watch her. After about ten minutes the familiars stopped as Nashi ended the spell.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Diamond taught you well. You have quite a lot of power in that little body, you just gotta learn how to control it" Nashi observed.

"Wow, really" Sam asked smiling.

"Yup, you got potential girl" the Solar Heat Dragoness chuckled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the next few hours the group of adults trained the five teens. Lizzys' teacher, a 193yr old alicorn stallion named Aragon, continued on with teaching her a spell he was before they left Solaria, same with Thelmas' teacher, Aragons' pegasus twin brother Bellamy.

Ákos stayed by the water and watched his charges, the five girls he was ordered to protect, train to get stronger. He knew that one day the girls wouldn't need him as their guardian, that their powers would grow beyond what his ever could, but he didn't want that day to come. Ever since he had taken them to Solaria he had grown quite fond of them. The Stormcutter didn't have any family of his own, having been alone since his parents abandoned him as a hatchling. He was found by some Pygmi Mountain Alicorns over a week after he was abandoned. The mares that found him brought him back to their village. As an almost two week old hatchling he was already almost the same size as most of the rocky colored pygmies, scaring a lot of them away when the mares landed with him draped over their backs. He was immediately taken to the healers cave as one of the mares flew off to he didn't know where. After the pygmi left he didn't remember much, only the old stallion checking him over, until Saxton and the mare walked in. Ákos heard the black and white say something but the albino didn't understand it, the words just sounding extremely muffled. He listened as the alicorns around him talked some more until he was being lifted up and placed on the 6'6 alicorns back. The Stormcutter freaked out, screeching and flapping his four wings that couldn't lift him.

"Calm down kid" the deep, soft voice of Saxton pierced through the his panicked mind and made his wings still.

"You're okay, we'll take care of ya" the 30yr old said to the large hatchling on his back. Ákos stared at him, his red eyes focused on the alicorns black ones. The hatchling let out a chirp and settled onto his back, nuzzling into his mane.

"Ákos" Nashis' voice snapped the dragon out of his trip down memory lane. He chirped at the 19yr old that appeared next to him.

"You doing okay" she asked the 20yr old Stormcutter.

"Yea I'm okay, just remembering a few things from my past" he grumbled, laying his head against the grass. Nashi simply hummed, laying next to him and watching her new student practice. The dragon next to her slowly drifted to sleep, his breathing leveling out. The Solar Heat Dragoness was half tempted to follow him, the warmth on her back lulling her to sleep, but a familiar roar chased her tiredness away for now. She looked up to see her friend Cora, a 29yr old Crystal Dragoness, circling her. Nashi chuckled and rolled her oxyn eyes, roaring back at her. The older dragoness rumbled in her chest as she landed, the light filtering through her crystal like wing membrane shining multiple colors onto the grass.

"Hey Cora" Nashi stood up, "It's good to see ya."

"You too Princess, 's been awhile" the 29yr old purred.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that" Nashi chuckled. Cora laughed at the 19yr old princess.
