EHS Announcement · 3:41pm May 5th, 2016
Hey every pony! I want to say I'm sorry I haven't been updating EHS In a long time since I last posted. College and work are biting me hard in the ass this week. I'm almost done with school, though. Once Exams and so forth are taken cared of, I'll get back to the story. For now, please enjoy this small sneak peek of EHS.
The sun beamed its warmth down on the land, and we were all up and packing. Today was the day that we were all heading out to the temple to find the gem that is needed to find the Elemental dragons hidden in Equestria. I just hope that gem is there.
“Is everypony packed?” I asked the group.
They all nodded and their heads, signaling me they were ready to face what lies ahead. I summoned Kasai and we all jumped on.
“We’ll be back Celestia.” I said to the sun princess.
“Stay safe, and protect each other.”
We all nodded and Kasai took to the skies.
“Will the gem be there Tia?” The moon princess asked.
“I hope so. That gem is there only chance to find the others. I just hope nopony got it before they do.

Kasai flew over the forest, with the wind blowing in our faces. While the others were chatting with one another, I was lost in thought. Last night…I met him.
(Flashback: Dream realm)
I opened my eyes, seeing I was once more standing on the glass surface. Every one of the symbols were here. However, there was one last symbol on the top.
The new symbol was an eight pointed star. The circle in the center was black, the first top points of the star were white while the other four in the back were black, surrounded by a white circle with a black lining.
The symbol glowed, in an unusual aura. It was glowing white, with a mixture of black. Looking up, an orb, mixed of light and darkness was in front of me. I then heard the voice.
“Hope.”
My body was then covered in the black and white aura. The orb glowed brightly and created a portal, which was also black and white. A being stepped out, wearing a cloak, covering his body and face. One side was white while the other was black.
“Hello Meian, the Dragon of light and darkness.” I greeted.
“So you know who I am huh?” He asked. His voice sounded very wise and around in his 30s.
“Yeah,” I nodded, “I already met the other six. You’re the last one.”
Meian nodded. “I see.”
“Are you going to fight me, or just talk?”
“Just talk.”
“What do you want to tell me?”
“I can tell you’re struggling with the balance of light and darkness in your heart. Your light, Haos, has banished your darkness, Darkus to the very depth of your soul.”
I growled. “He brought it upon himself. If he never tried to take over my body, he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in right now. He’s nothing but a demon who enjoys the pain and suffering. He nearly killed one of my best friends!”
“I understand you’re angry Daniel. Darkness is something that cannot be easily controlled. However, there will be a time where you’ll need Darkus’s power.”
“Like hell that would happen.”
“Darkness and Light exist for a reason. One cannot live without the other. They need to be balanced. It maybe true you can control part of darkus’s power, but can you fully control it?”
My eyebrows furrowed and I looked away.
“Remember that darkness is not all bad young warrior,” Meian approached me, “There are times where darkness is your alley. Light and Darkness are not as they appear. Darkness is not all evil, while Light is not all good. If each cannot be balanced, one part will take control over you.”
“Then what am I supposed to do?” I asked looking at him. “If I release Darkus, he’ll only try to take over my body again. I only have a small portion of my light as well. What if I can’t control Darkus and his power? What if I get swallowed by my light? What if I can’t control both the Light and the Darkness within me?”
“What if there are no more what ifs?” He placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know you’re scared about this Daniel, and I know you are lost to what you believe may come, but remember this, Darkus is apart of you. He is your Darkness, and Haos is your light. Each of them is a part of who you are, and are different sides to your life.”
“What do you mean?”
“You will have to find that part out on your own.” Like the other times, Darkness took hold of me, and I began to sink.
“When you find inner peace with your light and darkness, only then you will learn the true potential of light and darkness, and awaken your true power.” The last words I heard, until I blacked out.
(Flashback End)
Meians words continued to sink into me after he told me about the light and darkness within my heart. Could what he said be true? The darkness within me…felt so amazing…but terrifying. Whenever I felt the darkness flow within me, even if it’s only a small portion of it, I feel exhilarated, alive. I still felt scared though. I nearly let it consume me, when I got angry. How can I control it? Should…should I really free Darkus?
“Daniel,” I was snapped out of my thought and turned to Will, “You okay? You’ve been quiet for most of the trip?”
I shook my head, “Sorry. I’m just lost in thought.” I looked back at the blue sky in front of me. “After what happened the last five days, things have been out of place in my mind.”
“Can’t blame you. Being consumed by you darkness, saving Spike. Shit really hit the fan for us.”
I nodded, and looked at the Fire Dragon, “Kasai, how much further?”
“The Temple should be close. I can feel dragon energy around in the perimeter.” The forest around in the ground thickened. He was right. I also feel the power around in the thick forest. Kasai flew down and brushed against the trees and landed.
“This is as far as I can take you all in the air. We’ll have to find the temple on foot.”
All of us jumped off of him and landed on the ground, collecting our belongings.
“Thanks Kasai. You can head back in and rest.”
The fire dragon shook his head, “No. The journey to the temple will be dangerous. I will continue my aid out here with all of you.”
“Um, how do you plan on,” Will was cut off when Kasai shrunk and was in his human state. “Oh…forgot you can do that.”
We all pressed on, heading deeper into the forest, in hope the temple was there.
Woah what a sneak peek that was. Also it's understandable as to why it's been awhile since you posted another chapter.
And I'm pretty sure everypony else will agree. But I also want to say thank you for not leaving us in the dark with your progress.
Fyi bro you don't need "and" in between nodded and their heads. It just fucks up the sentence. In the beginning.
Whoa!
3922227 thnks for pointing that out.
3922700 no problem. Errors like that just ruin the flow for me and derail it forcing me to think of the correct way it should be to get what's going on instead of enjoying it.
awesome. good luck on the exams in college btw, they r stressful as hell...i should know.
