//------------------------------// // The Magic of Friendship Grows // Story: The Little Pony Legend: A New Generation // by MaggiesHeartLove //------------------------------// Discord sealed the book shut and placed it back upon the shelf next to him. “Well, that’s it my friends,” Discord sighed, in content. “The end of the story… least for now. When you really think about it, no story is ever ‘truly’ over. Even if you reach the end of a chapter or a back end of a book, these stories are no different than the many others written down hundreds of times. They’re still being written to this day. When will they end? Who can say? That’s one of the many blessings: Not always knowing. While the legend may not be quite as you were told before, the core of it remains the same. “It wasn’t just the legend of a hero or the story of a princess. It was a tale of courage… discovery… love… family… forgiveness… and faith. “Sometimes the greatest stories are not ones you take alone, but what we share with others. So next time you see a rainbow in the sky, please don’t ignore it. Follow it, and perhaps you too will uncover your own legend. For there are truly no happy endings… just happy moments.” Discord flew out of his house and into the night sky, following the stars. In a flash, he was inside a celestial plane, fill with many stars and the ground itself the aurora borealis. It was there he found all of his friends from throughout the years. Long since passed, but all together in the stars, surrounded by all the colors of the rainbow… and more. And there Discord spotted his most dearest friends: Team Avatar Harmony. Korra happily chatted away with her husband and daughter, even her grandchildren and great-grandchildren (As did the rest of the Mane Six). So many generations throughout the decades, all together, and every star a portal into another world in dire need of the magic of friendship. Few such worlds that didn’t even have magical talking ponies at all. Some had elves possessing horns with the ability to commune with dragons; lions manifesting lion-like clouds with a magical roar; a world ruled by a princess with seventy feet of long golden hair; the other with a much younger princess wielding a magical amulet; and finally, another where yet ‘one’ princess escaped from said amulet. Needless to say, they were a vast number of worlds whose number grows with each new star in the sky. Team Avatar Harmony just finished observing their Paladin friends riding off into the sunset, wishing them the best of luck in their future adventures. Even after all this time, the Mane Seven continued to spread the magic of friendship to those in most need. Even after one era had long since past and beyond. They were grateful for all the adventures they had while they were alive, and the many adventures that were yet to come for others. But no matter what world they visited; one thing never changed… Korra: When I started out I was unsure I didn’t know all that I needed Didn’t know what to expect Twilight: But when my walls came down I saw the truth Korra and Twilight: All along something was missing And I think you’ll see it too Team Avatar Harmony: This is where the magic happens This is where the magic lives Our friendships weaved together, stronger The bonds grow deeper, lasting longer And the greatest spell you’ll know Is how The Magic of Friendship Grows Pinkie Pie: And no matter how much time goes by The party will still be here with some fun new games to try Rainbow Dash: Big adventures waiting, obviously As long as we’re still here together We’ll be flying high and free Team Avatar Harmony: This is where the magic happens This is where the magic lives Our friendships weaved together, stronger The bonds grow deeper, lasting longer And the greatest spell there is Is how The Magic of Friendship gives Applejack: And it’s something true to pass on down To generations yet to come Rarity: And we’ll never stop believing in the generosity Of the friendships we’ve won Fluttershy: And because the love that I feel For every single living creature is something that is real Friendship happens so Naturally Twilight: Oh, and how I used to wonder What friendship could be! Team Avatar Harmony: This is where the magic happens This is where the magic lives Our friendships weaved together, stronger The bonds grow deeper, lasting longer And the greatest spell you’ll know Is how the magic of friendship grows Korra: How the magic of friendship grows From the stars, Team Avatar Harmony watched as the current Avatar and his friends, the new Guardians of Harmony, looked toward the stars and saw the faces of those who came before them, forever looking onward and after all those who’d come after. Now and forever, so long as the eternal flame burned brightly, the future would be just as bright… *** Jeremiah 29:11~ “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
