The evil Alicorn Queen's pet dragon crawled on its pale belly along the smooth, polished crystal floor, heading in the direction of its mistress' throne. Its forked tongue stuck out a couple times as it stopped apprehensively at her armored hooves, waiting silently for her permission to proceed further. She gave it an approving nod and the little beast began slinking its way between her hooves, rubbing up against her legs like a purring like a kitten.



Queen Twilight Sparkle's frown did not budge. The most she granted it was a murmur of approval, that it could continue doing what it was doing. Although she would never say it, even the vilest of villains like her needed a little company now and then. She would never allowed the little lizard on her lap though; she had her limits.
