GrayFlame (MLPFanfiction)

Open

Chapter 1

A set of hooves fall on the ground of the canyon. A little winged pony landed after a long trek. Her black mane had gray strips. It is long and strait. Her white body had one thing strange about it. She already has her cutie mark. A dragon's head of pure black breathing out gray flames is resting on her flank.

Others landed, but not any ponies. The hard scales of dragons hit the ground. A huge white dragon hit the ground. It's spikes are blue, and It's eyes bright yellow. Any pony would be running from the huge beast, but the small horse stood her ground. The dragon keep it's distance from the little one, but she cold see in it's eyes that it cared for her.

The smaller pony smiled back. Then yawned. The dragon chuckled as more dragons landed. A young blue dragon, about the little pony's size, tackled her. The pony giggled, "Lightingstorm!"

The dragon thunder storm giggled, "Try to get me off, Grayfire!" They tumbled around as more dragons from the flock. Big ones, small ones, and different colors dragons landed here. This place is the Dragona, nesting grounds of many dragon that come form all over Equestria and even other realms across this world. No pony has ever been in this canyon until Grayflame was founded in the canyon. Of course, Grayflame has no clue of her origins, nor her reason of being here. The dragons can't really return the child to a town of ponies. It's not every day that a dragon would fly into a city holding baby pony.

Dragons pasted her giving her hateful stares as she played with Lightingstorm. Some gave her smiled, but she knew they were fake. She gave smiles to them all, even if they didn't care. That what her dragon mother told her to do, well before..

"Well, I'm going to go to my mom  now." Lightingstorm said to Grayflame.

"Okay." She smiled. Lightingstorm started to make his way around the landing dragons in the direction of his nest. Grayflame looked to the white dragon. This was her dragon mother's mate, Coldfang. He was the coldest dragons that she traveled with, but he has always had a soft spot for her. The only dragon that loved her more was his mate, Icewing, but she died in a fight another dragon. Grayflame pushed those memories out of her head.

Coldfang nodded at her allowing her to climb on his back. They walked though the crowed of dragons. Coldfang climbed up the sides of the canyon. On the small cliffs are nest. They aren't like bird nest. They beds that dragons lay on are depending what dragon you are. Fire dragons breath fire on the ground so they rest on the warm flames. Many other dragons do different thing, but Coldfang is a Ice dragon. He breaths his ice breath on the ground to make a nest. Since Grayflame is a pony, she sleeps on his back away from the cold ice. She has got used to the coldness of Coldfang scales.

Coldfang got to his cliff and saw the ice from before was melted. He grunted in annoyance then spat ice on the floor. He circled until he found a comfy spot and lied down. Grayflame climb till she was at his spikes. She laid down in between two of his spikes and looked over the canyon. The sun was setting behind her. she could see the moon little ways over the huge wall. Dragon laying down with there families. This made her fell sad, but also warm. She had no idea who her parents were, but she had Coldfang.

She smile as she laid he head on the spike. She closed her eyes as she enter the realms of sleep.

Grayflame's eyes open to see she was not on Coldfang's back. She was on the ground. Not ground, grass! This meant that she was nowhere near he realm. She began look to the right and the left. Trees were all around the mare. Birds sang there songs. Not many birds live around Dragona. It looks a lot more.. peaceful. Then it popped into here head. "No, this can't be Equestria!" She said. Grayflame has never been to Equestria, but she heard stories about the dragon migration from travers.

Her eyes where open wildly. She stood up with her hooves shaking. Her heart raced from being alone. Slowly, she made her way across the grass. Her eyes kept moving in every direction. Her hooves felt cold when the felt the dew of the grass. Suddenly, The daylight went completely dark. The moon in the center of the sky. Grayflame's eyes stared horrified. The bird's song was gone. Grayflame jumped at the sound of the wind on the trees. When she jumped, she flew into the air. Flying in fear, she didn't know where she was going.

Then suddenly, a voice rang in her ears, "Stop!" Grayflame looked up and saw she was heading strait for a tree. She held he wings open, but it was to late. She cashed into the tree. she bumped her head on every branch until she fell out of the tree.

Her head was spinning. Laying on the ground, she thought Wait a minute.... She got to her feet. A really big pony stood in front of her.

She is as black as night, but her mane looked to be the night sky it's self. Her necklace had a crescent moon on it, and so was her cutie mark. The one thing that got to Grayflame was the fact that she was a alicorn. Grayflame might not know much about her own kind, but she heard from travelers that alicorns are the most powerful kind of pony.

Why now! She bowed in fear of her. She has never seen another pony, but a alicorn! Mabey she is going to take me away! But I don't want to leave Dragona, or mabey I do?

All of these thoughts went though her head. "You can stand up now." Grayflame heard a kind voice. This voice was unlike dragons. Slowly, Grayflame looked up from the ground and at the pony. Her face was.. friendly? Grayflame stood. Still to short to look strait at her. She held her head up.

"There is no need to be afraid." She spoke with a smile, a REAL smile. This was a true person. She had to be! Grayflame stopped shaking and smiled back.

Then she cocked her head, "Who are you?"

"I am Princess Luna of Equestria." Grayflame jumped at the word princess.

Grayflame bowed more in respect, but fear still filled her. "M-My name is Grayflame." She said shaken.

"You don't have to bow little one." Luna said.

"But my mom told me to show respect to those of higher level than me..." Grayflame looked up at the princess, "and that is pretty much everyone."

"Your mother is a wise pony." She said.

"Oh, my parents aren't ponies." She stopped bowing. She saw that Princess Luna looked a little shaken by her statement.

"Then what are they?" She asked.

"Well, There dragons." Princess Luna jumped when Grayflame said that, "But they aren't my real parents. The just took me in as there own. I don't know my real parents."

"Oh.. I see?" The princess started to look around, "but why are you dreaming of Equestria?"

Grayflame shrugged, "I don't know. I live in Dragona." The princess looked very confused at this point. "Are you ok?" The princess laid down.

"Yes, I'm fine.." She looked back to Grayflame, "Are you ok living with dragons in Dragona?"

"I never thought about it." Grayflame looked to the ground.

"Do you want to stay with dragons all your life?" Grayflame looked up, into the pony's eyes. They sparkled like stars you can so clearly. This is a question that my heart only knew, and if I don't say the what is says I'll be lying.

"No.." Grayflame said. She felt a tear fall down her check, "but they are my family..." then her head drained of fear, "Can I live in Equestria?" she asked.

The princess nodded, "Yes you can." Grayflame eyes followed the princess's when the moved to her cutie mark, "Then you might find out what your cutie mark means.

Grayflame closed her eyes, knowing what she had to do in the morning.
