> Power, Control and Sensitivity > by the star bringer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Years had passed since the defeat of Sombra, Chrysalis, and Tirek by the brave trio of Ghoul Tender Taps, Cozy Glow, and StarGazer. The land of Equestria had finally found peace and tranquillity, and the friends had moved on with their lives. Ghoul Tender Taps and Cozy Glow, now married, lived together in a Cozy cottage at the edge of Ponyville. They had embraced their newfound happiness and shared extraordinary adventures with their friends. Together, they had brought harmony to their world and became symbols of hope and friendship. In the midst of their joyful lives, a small bundle of joy entered their lives. Their son, Wisp, was born with a mesmerizing ethereal coat, reminiscent of the twinkling night sky. Everypony in Ponyville marvelled at his beauty, fascinated by the mix of magic flowing through his veins. Wisp possessed the boundless energy of his mother and the unwavering determination of his father. He was a charming and mischievous little colt, always finding new ways to astonish those around him. Ghoul Tender Taps and Cozy Glow cherished every moment they spent with their son, watching him grow and learn about the magic of friendship. Meanwhile, StarGazer had moved to Canterlot, following his dreams of becoming a member of the Royal Guard. With his unwavering dedication and exceptional skills, he quickly rose through the ranks, proving himself to be a valuable asset to Princess Twilight. As a member of the Royal Guard, StarGazer protected Canterlot and upheld the values of friendship, harmony, and justice. His extraordinary abilities, coupled with his unique blend of pony and changeling heritage, made him a formidable opponent for any threat that dared to disturb the peace of Equestria. Though StarGazer was strong and courageous, his heart yearned for his friends and the adventures they shared. He felt a deep longing to reconnect with Ghoul Tender Taps, Cozy Glow, and their son, Wisp. Despite the distance between them, their bond of friendship remained unbroken. One day, a disturbance broke the tranquillity of Canterlot. An ancient artifact, rumoured to hold unimaginable power, had been stolen from the Royal Vault. The theft threatened to unleash chaos upon the land, and StarGazer was called upon to help recover the artifact and restore harmony once more. The stolen artifact, previously a treasured relic, had fallen into the hands of a group of terrorists who had turned it into a dangerous weapon. The situation had escalated rapidly, and the repercussions could spell disaster for all of Equestria if the weapon were to be utilized. Princess Twilight, aware of StarGazer's special abilities and unwavering loyalty, sent him on this vital mission to retrieve the artifact and eliminate the threat. > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- StarGazer stood on the outskirts of Ponyville, gazing at the familiar sights that brought back memories of his past. It had been years since he last saw his old friends, Ghoul Tender Taps, Cozy Glow, and Apple Bloom. They had formed a tight bond during their adventures, confronting the challenges of making Equestria a better place. But now, things were different. Equestria had found a new era of peace and harmony, and the friends had settled into their own peaceful lives. StarGazer felt torn. He longed to see his friends again, to reminisce about the past and catch up on all the time that had passed. Yet, he was hesitant to disrupt their newfound tranquillity. However he believed that clues to finding the artifact might be in Ponyville. Summoning all the courage he could muster he trotted into Ponyville. He took off his Royal guard armour, not wanting to draw attention or alarm anypony, and began his search. After 2 hours he had still found nothing leading to the stolen artifact, but he wasn't about to give up. Suddenly he bumped into somebody "Oh my! I'm so sorry..." he gazed up to see his old friend Apple Bloom ' so much for staying hidden' StarGazer thought to himself. "StarGazer? is it really you?" Apple Bloom beamed. " Uhm... Hi... Apple Bloom..." StarGazer stuttered as a blush began forming off his cheeks. "So... What are you doing here? I mean it has been years since you've visited Ponyville" "Uhm...I just uhm... I just thought I would visit..." Apple Bloom gives an unsure look at StarGazer, Not really believing him, "Well I best get going now!" "Oh okay... bye" 'I don't think he's really here for a visit' Apple Bloom thought to herself 'I better follow him to see what he's really up to.' > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple Bloom followed StarGazer, 'Come on! still nothing?!' StarGazer thought to himself ' Maybe there is no clues here. So where should I go... Of course why didn't I think to check the vault, where it was being kept' StarGazer slapped his own head As he left for the train station, Meanwhile Apple Bloom had watched him the whole time. "I've got to help him with what he's doing. But how?" Apple Bloom spoke "I know I'll get Cozy and Tender! They'll know what to do!" Apple Bloom began to run as she sung to herself. "Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh Look in the mirror And I start to tear up I don't even know all that I see I'm missin' the way thing's used to be But I wipe 'em away now 'Cause I'm not afraid now I'm ready to find out who I am Even if the world don't understand 'Cause after all this time, finally The stars might be alignin' for me Something 'bout tonight got me feelin' different I can see the bright lights in the distance Tell my old self, "Hey, you'll be missed" But I've been waitin' my whole life for this Something in my mind says to keep on goin' The fire inside just keeps on glowin' Give my old self a goodbye kiss 'Cause I've been waitin' my whole life for this Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh When all my emotions Run deep as the ocean Even if I laugh until I cry I'm not gonna lock them up inside My heart might get broken (ah) But I'm still goin' (goin') Oh, places that I've never been No, no, I'm never lookin' back again 'Cause after all this time, finally The stars might be alignin' for me Something 'bout tonight got me feelin' different I can see the bright lights in the distance Tell my old self, "Hey, you'll be missed" But I've been waitin' my whole life for this Something in my mind says to keep on goin' The fire inside just keeps on glowin' Give my old self a goodbye kiss 'Cause I've been waitin' my whole life for this Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (this moment) I was the girl who had the world inside her hooves But now I've opened up my eyes, (oh) ooh, oh I'm doin' me this time, I won't apologise I never thought I could be so alive Something 'bout tonight got me feelin' different (oh-oh) I can see the bright lights in the distance Tell my old self, "Hey, you'll be missed" But I've been waitin' my whole life for this Something in my mind says to keep on goin' The fire inside just keeps on glowin' (just keeps on glowin') Give my old self a goodbye kiss (a goodbye kiss) 'Cause I've been waitin' my whole life for this (oh) Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, this moment Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (oh)" Eventually she reached Tender Taps and Cozy Glow's house
