     Twilight was flying through the sky, with Frisk helping to guide her along. Twilight was fairly strong since she can withstand Frisk on her back but still able to fly at a relatively good pace.
‘You’re pretty good at flying,’ said Frisk. ‘Can you tell me more about your past? Zebulon said you got killed before.’
‘Sure, it’s a pretty long story, it was back in the war.’ Twilight answered.


Back in the war, it was chaos everywhere thanks to Gromiz attacking everyone. Twilight and Zebulon were the country’s last hope. They were lucky to even get a chance to fight Gromiz alone.
‘Come on, Twilight! We need to kill Gromiz before it’s too late!’ He said.
‘This is the throne room, let’s go in and take him down!’ Twilight replied back.
They opened the door to the room and Gromiz was sitting on the throne, after the guards surrendered and was forced to have him as their new ruler.
‘Gromiz, you are going down!’ Zebulon yelled.
‘Muahahahaha! You think you can defeat me!? Well I am getting bored from being perched on my throne as I thought you guys were dead, dealing with you guys will be easy as pie!’ Gromiz said, laughing evilly.
They engaged in a long battle in the throne room. The duo was not getting severely injured, but they couldn’t do anything against Gromiz. All of a sudden, Zebulon fell to the ground.
‘Ta-ta for now, “Emperor”. Say goodbye to your country.’ Gromiz said mischievously, charging a magical attack.
‘No!’ Twilight cried. She ran over and blocked the attack, but she got injured very badly.
‘Why, Twilight! You sacrificed yourself to save me… What’s the matter with you? Are you okay?’ Zebulon rushed over to her.
Twilight was grunting in pain. ‘No…I’m not okay Zebulon…It’s better for you to live than to die and let the country down, you must avenge me. Take the crystals from my bag, they will help you resurrect me!’ She told him.
‘What can I do without you? I can’t figure it out myself!’ He cried.
‘It’s up to you. You need to find a way to make me alive again…’ Twilight said as blood was streaming out of her body.
‘No…Please don’t die...I promise you, you will be okay!’ Zebulon was crying.
She smiled. ‘I know it is hard, but don’t forget about me.’ She said as she gasped her last breath. And she was gone.
‘Ahahahahaha, sorry to disturb such a sweet moment, it seems that your partner has died. Now enough is enough. You surrender, or you die right now!’ Gromiz commanded.
Zebulon had no other choice. Whether he surrenders or not, he will lose the country.
‘Fine. I surrender. I have no other choice anyway.’ He sighed.
‘Excellent. You made the right choice.’ Gromiz smiled.




‘And that’s how Gromiz defeated him, and how I died.’ Twilight said.
'Wow,I really need to catch up on how you got here in the first place,were you here all along?' Frisk asked her.
'Not exactly,let me tell you about that.' Twilight replied.But as soon she wanted to say something,something was rattling in Frisk's bag.
‘That’s a horrible story… Guess I know why you suddenly disappeared.’ Spike said.
‘Hold on, Spike? Is that you?’ Twilight said in surprise.
Spike came out of the bag. ‘Twilight, why didn’t you tell anyone to tell me about it?’ he said.
‘Oh my gosh, Spike? I missed you so much buddy!’ She said as she used her magic to levitate Spike. ‘I am so sorry that you were oblivious to everything that’s happened!’
‘I missed you too,’ Spike replied, smiling.
‘You two know each other?’ Frisk questioned.
‘Of course we do! He was my little ‘assistant’ before what happened in the war. He was my best friend back then.’ Twilight said as she put Spike down on her back.
‘Huh, I guess that explains why I randomly saw you as a stray and thought to take care of you that day, Spike.’ Frisk said.
The trio continued to talk about stories they had during the flight back to the country. As they got close to Britannica, Frisk finally caught sight of the land.
‘I see Britannica there! We are getting close!’ Frisk said in excitement.
However, as they got closer, they saw a lot of guards waiting at the border. They knew it wouldn’t be that easy to get back.
‘Wait…There are people at the border… they have weapons! They are the guards!’ Spike exclaimed.
‘New plan,’ said Twilight. ‘You guys need to go in and try to attack them, while I take the high ground and use my magic against them. It should be fairly easy.’
As she flew closer to land, she started flying lower and used her magic to make a shield and block out and attack some of the guards. She dropped off Frisk and Spike while she used her magic against them.
Frisk was a trained fighter. She was surprisingly overpowered against the guards, and stole their weapons to her advantage. Spike used his fire breath to scare off them or burn them to ash, while Twilight shot magic beams at the guards, eliminating them one by one.
After a while, the guards that were alive ran away in horror. The trio succeeded in making back to the country.
‘Let’s go to the town square, probably the mayor is waiting for us there,’ Frisk told the other two.


Meanwhile in the palace, Gromiz was surely upset about the chosen one getting back.
‘Useless guards! They shall be executed!’ Demanded Gromiz.
‘I have heard from the remaining guards; they say that the cure is literally unstoppable. They were defenseless against them.’ The general said. ‘They said they saw some kind of unicorn with wings using her magic against them!’
‘No…It can’t be possible. I killed that brat years ago! I know who she is, but there is no way Zebulon found a way to resurrect her.’ Gromiz thought. ‘They may not be able to stop the chosen one, but I can! I’m not scared of anything at all! If her new partner truly is alive, I can beat her again. And then, I’ll beat the chosen one soon enough!’ He said in a solemn voice.
