//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: The new dawn // Story: Digital storm // by SeiryuofEast //------------------------------// Ourkirst's forest, Lizzie's and Jim's camp Jim's POV Today was tough day for me and my little sister, I told her yesterday that we were going to practice in help her to learn the Puppy howling. It was hard to doing because Liz had to shout loutly and it was tiring and her throat was drying, we spend most of the morning in training until the midday come for the lunch time so Liz and I go back to the lake and I fish our food, the enough amount for the dinner too of course. One thought that I had when we were at the lake was that we can't continue catching this fishes in this place, when they run out, we will have to move to another place and not only that, our diet can't be only of fishes, yeah digimons can eat pretty much anything but this could become unhealty and the digimons in the games of tamagochi style, used to get sick if you give them something unappealing for they taste. I was even thinking in revealing myself to these ponies risking our security of the anonymity, just to have a better life style for us, but yes, there was the fact that I could get in troubles if these ponies can easily become scare with my presence and take Liz away from me, that will be my last option, even if it ends badly. When we go back to our camp Liz and I continue with our routine with her practice on her technique. It took us around 3 hours until Liz finally could use the Puppy howling with no troubles and with out getting affect her when she use it, she then used her attack on a small tree and the leaves in the branches falls like nothing while the tree was trembling, looks like my sister has talent in learning her skills, in other circunstances I would be jealous, but hey, I'm the one that is ultimate level, a fallen angel of the 3 sacred angels and obviously the most stronger of the two of us, so, I feel a relief in knowing that she can perform her abilities so naturally. Then I told to Liz her next move: 'Sledge dash' and when I describe in what consist, Liz instantly said no. Sledge dash is an attack were the attacker charge and tackles the target with a headbutt, Liz give up the idea of learning this because if was boring to learn the Petit punch, it was tiring learning the Puppy howling and now with the Sledge dash, she really dislikes the idea of crashing her head at something, I laugh a bit about it and agree with her, so we stop the training with her. I was thinking in training myself too, but I don't think that is a good idea trying to make lighthings more than a spark in this forest. The time pass and the night was coming, Liz told me that she really want to visit this pony named Fluttershy and maybe see how the ponies were working in this festival but I told her to wait until these events of tomorrow were over, just in case that she don't change the future of her show. When the night time arrived, I prepare our dinner cooking the fishes that I caught today, the apples ran out this morning, we will have to think in something to change the menu of tomorrow. Again when we finished our dinner we go back at the cave to sleep, Liz then told me that because of this Nightmare Moon character, we might wake up a bit later than usual, cause Nightmare Moon will control the night on this day, it was still so hard to believe this issue about that a pony can control day and night, but everytime that I try to find some logic of this I look to myself and remember that my actual situation is quite of unbelievable too. Without much of thinking in this, both Liz and I fell asleep as our minds go to the world of the dreams. There, I was again in this old and familiar place, my own home in my bedroom with my body still on the bed, for some reason I was so happy about this day that go out the bed with my pajamas still on me as I run excited out my room. I think I remember this, yes this was on the morning of christmas, I was going for the gifts in the tree. Not so later I hear steps at my back and look who this person was and get the surprise that it was Liz running behind me with joy. but the strange thing was that Liz looks younger, I think she is five, the more I look around the more I remember this scene as we both go downstairs to the living where our gifts were waiting for us. As we enter to the living room, we saw our parents there for us to watch the moment when we open the gifts. My sister go and sit on the floor as she grab her gift, when she open it she take out a unicorn plushie that she hug with love, I'm starting to realise where that love for ponies had come from, me on the other hand I grab a box that have my name on it and then I saw my first treasure, my first game console the PS2, I hug the box of my console loving it as I look to my parents. "Did you like it son?" said my dad smiling. "Yeah I love it, thank you dad!" I replied excited with joy. "Good, Now...Will you wake up now, you beast?" said my mom with another voice that I don't recognize. "What?" I said genuinely scared and confused. "How dare you to waste our time you insolent monster." said my 'mom' with a scaring smirk on her face as she come to me. I don't know what was happening to my mom, her face was becoming more darker with every step that she take as she come closer to me. I look around and see that my sister was now a deform twirl image, my dad was becoming one too, the tree, the walls everything was becoming twisted, everything was looking in that way, except for now my scaring looking 'mom' as she stop in front of me in silent for a while as she look me with that mischievous grin on her face and her eyes, they look so different now, they looks like the eyes of a reptile or a dragon. "Wake up!" exclaim my 'mother' as everything become white. I woke up feeling the fear of that dream has caused me, my respiration accelerate with a lot of stress as I breath deeply to calm down. When I look around and I saw that I was still in the cave with Liz on my belly who was waking up too, rubbing her right eye with her paw, looks like I just jump in when I was having that nightmare making the enough movement to disrupt my sister dream, as she look up to me. "Jim...Are you alright?" said Liz with concern in her tone. "Yes, I think I just had a bad dream." I told to Liz. "Really? Are you ok?" said Liz as I smile and rub her head gently. "I think so, look let's try slee-" I try to said but I was interrupt when I hear a flapping sound out the cave. "What the...Something is outside." I said lowering my tone with senses in alert. "Who could be?" said Liz lowering her tone too. "Don't know, but don't make a noise ok?" I told to Liz who nod in replied. Outside the cave was too dark to see anything clearly and fire of the camp has already extinguished. I was thinking what I should do, should I go outside and scare this person or whatever that had come to our camp? Or maybe we could just stay inside the cave in silence, those were my thoughts until the moment when the light of the moon appear and illuminated the place, just at this moment that I could see more properly this newcomer that was a few meters of distance in front of the cave. It was a black horse with wings and a horn on the forehead, wearing an armor and it's mane and tail was made of starry night sky, how is that possible? That horse can see me inside the cave but I thing that it hasn't note Liz yet so I move my little sister behind me and I told with signs to hide in the cave as I cover her with my body, when I look back to the horse I noted that it had the same dragonic eyes that my mom has in my dream, I was already suspecting that this horse has something to do about it. "You finally have awakened you monster, we were thinking that you want to test our patience." said the horse with arrogance in her tone with the same voice that my mom had in the dream. "Who are you? What do you want?" I asked a little angry to the horse. "How unpolite of us, let us introduce ourselves, our name is Nightmare Moon, the new regent of all Equestria." said Nightmare Moon with same tone in her voice. "So this is the so call Nightmare Moon that Liz had talk about." I thought looking to this mare. "So Nightmare Moon you still haven't told me what do you want or how did you find me, speak." I declared with anger, there's something about this mare that I don't like me one bit. "You simpleton beast, when we saw your door in the dream world it caught our attention, even us cannot enter in your dream for some strange reason, so we simple decide to altered it into a nightmare to woke you up." said Nightmare Moon with a smirk admitting that she was the responsible for that bad dream that I had. "I see..." I said with my tone more angrier than before as I come out the cave looking down to Nightmare Moon "Still you haven't said what do you want from me." I said to Nightmare Moon "You seem to be a great beast that could be useful for our plans, so we give you the choice to serve us, kneel before us you monster and swear your loyalty to become our slave." said Nightmare Moon with prepotent tone of superiorty to me. "So that's it? Let me thinking about it for a moment..." I said tired of this arrogant mare as I lift my right arm. "Go to hell!" I exclaimed furious forming a fist in my right arm. I was ready with all my will to crush this insolent and annoying mare with a punch but Nightmare Moon light her horn and shot from the tip a dark beam againts me, hitting me in my chest sending me to fly back and crash againts the stone wall a side of the entrace of the cave, how much power this mare have to send me away so easily? I try to stand up, luckily it seems that beam just hit me and not burning me when I see the damage in my chest, I only have a big bruise on it. "Jim what's happening?!" exclaim my sister in concern as she come out the cave. "Don't come out!" I shout preocuppied about my sister but it was too late, my sister was out the cave as she walk in front of me between that crazy mare and I. "Oh what do we have here? A little dog has come to protect it's master we suppose." said Nightmare Moon with her prepotent tone looking to Liz. "Nightmare Moon, leave my brother alone!" exclaim Liz angry in position to fight showing her fangs. "How frightening, the little pet think that it can intimidating us, and 'brother'? You two don't look too much a like to be-" Nightmare Moon stopped mocking my sister when she look to me, she suddenly have a expression of surprise when she looking me, then she smirk. "We see it now." said Nightmare Moon. Then at that instant, Nightmare Moon light her horn again and this time a dark energy appear in Liz's body covering my sister levitating her and moving her closer to Nightmare Moon. Liz try to move but It was like if she was frozen as I stand up preparing myself to charge with rage when Nightmare Moon lift her left hoof in front of me stopping my march. "Ah ah ah, we wouldn't do anything harsh in your place you beast." said Nightmare Moon looking to Liz who was floating a her side. "Leave my sister alone or I swear that I will rip your guts out." I said threatening this crazy mare. "Let's have a deal you monster, we have our castle in the Everfree forest, if you want your sister without any scratch in her body, we suggest you to go to that forest and guard it for any intruder that could come to disturb us." said Nightmare Moon with her smirk looking to me. "Don't listen to her Jim, you have to fin-" my sister try to said but Nightmare Moon put her right hoof in my sister mouth closing it. "Silence! Don't interfere in our conversation you impolite dog ..." said Nightmare Moon as she turn to look to me. "You have been warned you monster, do as we had told you, if you ever want to see your sister sane and safe again." said Nightmare Moon as she light her horn with more intensity. With that said I try to reach to Nightmare Moon and stop her but suddenly a bright flash come out her horn blinding me for a brief moment, when I recover and look back, there was no sign of Nightmare Moon or my sister in the camp. I was alone, my only sister had been kidnaped from my side by a evil mare, I took a seat on my knees on the ground devasted looking down while the desesperation was eating me. The rage was filling my mind with thoughts of revenge and fury againts Nightmare Moon as I was feeling an energy that ran through my body, I lift both my arms forming my fists while a dark spark was coming out of them and suddenly I smash the ground with my strength creating a crater around me as I release a thunder from my body. A few minutes pass after I finally calm down feeling a bit tired for what I just done in my rage state, not only that I had cause great damage to the camp but the bruise that Nightmare Moon give me with her attack from before has also heal completely. I stood up and decide to walk away from this place, my sister needs me more than I could ever imagine and now I was determinated to bring her back to my side as I leave this forest to go to the Everfree to confront Nightmare Moon and kick her ass. Don't worry Liz, your big brother is coming for you right now. I thought while I walk. Ponyville, Golden oak Library Twilight's POV This is horrible, how this could happen? Oh yeah I know already because in the end the prophecy was true. An hour had pass after the event in the town hall were Nightmare Moon had show up and threat everypony with a eternal night, right now I was in the library with Spike sleeping while I was searching in the books for somekind of answer about the elements of harmony, as the story tells, those magic items are the only thing that could help us againts Nightmare Moon. Then the mares that I meet yesterday enter to the library looking for an answer of this issue. at that moment Pinkie Pie just find the correct book that has some information of the elements of harmony, in the book was written that five of the Elements are stored in the royal sisters castle, the ancient castle that it was located at the Everfree forest, with this discovery the six of us go to the entrace of the scary forest as we stood there for a while. "Well, what are we waiting let's go!" exclaim Pinkie excited jumping her way to the forest. "Wait a moment..." I said stopping Pinkie's march. "Look everypony, I appreciated your offer but I have to do this alone." I told them. "Sorry sweatheart but we can let a friend alo-Aaahhh!" exclaimed Applejack as she falls in what looks to be a hole. "Oh no, are you ok dear?" said Rarity concerned as she walk closer to Applejack. "Yeah, I'm ok I just fell in a hole." said Applejack standing. "Eh...Girls." said Rainbow Dash who was flying a side of me and was pointing with her left hoof to where Applejack was. Then I and the rest of my companions look down to the hole with more detail and saw it was not just a hole, it was a huge footprint in the ground. I never have see this kind footprint in my books, it look's like if it was from a leporids species but this one is so huge, I was so...Excited about this discovery, a new animal species that have never been spotted was closer to us? This was wonderful, then I look to my companions and noted that all of they share a same concerned look when they were watching the footprints, like if they had know about this. "Is everypony is ok?" I asked to these mares who look back to me. "Twilight dear, with might had omitted some information that was happening in our town." said Rarity to me. "What do you mean? If has to do with this animal?" I said speculating as I point with my right hoof to the footprints. "Well, yeah, this beast had come to my farm and steal some of my apple trees." explain Applejack that I find a little hard to believe in her story. "If what you said is true Applejack, why everypony haven't say anything about this issue or call a hight autority?" I ask a good question, who could let go this kind of oportunity? "When we find the existence of this creature two days ago, with the festival coming we couldn't pospose it so with take our hoofs in this issue, the creature has come from the Everfree forest and had invade the forest in the ourkirts while we made sure that it couldn't show up at the worst moment until we could inform Princess Celestia about it so she could help us after the festival." said Fluttershy to me. "I see, but why it has decided to return to the Everfree at this moment?" I said putting my right hoof under my chin. "Oh! I know! I know!..." said Pinkie excited while jumping. "Maybe Black snooty has come to see this creature before she shows up at the town hall, and recruited it to guard the Everfree from anypony who could come searching for the elements of harmony and now is there waiting for us." said Pinkie speculating as we all stood there looking her atonished for what she said. "Pinkie dear, not that I want to be rude with you, but try eat less sugar ok?" said Rarity in the most polite way. "Yes mam." said Pinkie with her right hoof on her forehead like a soldier as Rarity roll her eyes smiling. "Anyway, girls, right now we had bigger problems in our hoofs than this monster, if we don't find these elements of harmony we will live in these eternal night forever." Applejack with the will of duty in her tone. "That's right, and if we find that monster I will show it some of my moves and made it regret for try to stop us from our mission." said Rainbow Dash hitting the air with her hoofs. "Alright everypony, let's go." said Applejack determinated. The rest agree in what to do with this issue, we may encounter with this creature in this scary forest but we have the bigger priority of finding the elements of harmony and stop Nightmare Moon plans. Everypony was determinated to enter in the Everfree, even Fluttershy and about the matter of this creature, why it has to show up right now? Nightmare Moon has something to do with the creature? Pinkie Pie could have been right about her theory? I really don't know, but we are going to solve this problem and bring a new dawn. Everfree forest Jim's POV I had been walking to this forest for a while, remembering the path that Liz told me the first time we go out the Everfree forest. If what Liz has told me last time, that Nightmare Moon's stupid castle was deep in this forest, at the end of the road I was force to walk tru trees, mountainsides and even a river, for good a time as I continue in my way to find this castle, but I was getting too tired, with my dream disrupted, the outburst that I had earlier at the camp and the stress I got thinking in my sister's safety, if I don't find this castle soon I would run out of energy and faint. Luckily, I finally reach to a precipice with a old fallen bridge and at the other side of the precipice I can see a old castle ruins, that must be the place were Nightmare Moon had my sister in. "Maybe if I jump I could reach to the other side." I thought looking down to the precipice that was covered with fog. When I was about to jump to pass this precipice, a strange purple cloud appear in front of me stopping my march as I stood there looking to this thing, then I was preparing to defend myself of this thing but in this strange cloud it start to show a pair of eyes that I had see not too long ago, Nightmare Moon's eyes. "So you had come to us you beast." said Nightmare Moon in this cloud form. "Nightmare Moon!" I exclaim in rage as I move my right arm forming a fist and punch her but my fist end up going through her ethereal form, Nightmare Moon just laugh about my action against her. "Relax you fool, you don't want us to remember you who we had in our mercy." said Nightmare Moon as she show me tru her cloud body a image of Liz encaged in somekind of cage made of dark energy in a room where it was a old throne. With no other choice I sigh in defeat. "What do you want?" I said still angry. "How obedient, you see, a group of foolish mares are coming to our castle, we want you to stop them at once when they reach to this bridge, you understand?" said Nightmare Moon, right now I only see her eyes but I know that she was grining at this moment. "What about my sister?" I ask. "We promise that we will return your sister at your side after you finish the job." said Nightmare Moon. "Very well then." I said, I have to think in a way to rescue my sister, I don't believe one bit in her words. "One more thing, don't even try to talk with these ponies for help, we will watching your actions and if you say something about it, we can't secure the safety of your sister If you know what we mean." said Nightmare Moon while she let out a maniac laugh and dissapeared or I should say fade off of this place. "Damm you, I hate that mare and her stupid way to refer herself." I thought with my fists trembling impotent of doing something againts Nightmare Moon. I was in silence for a while alone after Nightmare Moon leave as I was still looking to the castle on the other side of the precipice where my sister was held captive. Maybe I could jump and rush quickly to the castle as Nightmare Moon try to stop me, she said that she will be watching me so I suppose that she will be closer to this place, unless she have some omniscience power and see any movement that I could do while she be sitting somewhere in the castle with Liz close to her. But before I could take any action I hear something coming from my back then I turn to see what it was. Twilight's POV After everything that had happen to us, passing mountainsides, dealing with a manticore, going tru scary trees and helping a sea serpent from a river, I could feel it now, my companions and I, little by little I feeling something about them, joy, hope and I would dare to say, friendship. As the six of us continue with our way tru this forest while we follow a path that we suspect were the ruins of the royal castle. "Right there girls, I think we are closer to it." I said as we trot. "Twilight look out!" exclaim Rainbow Dash as she grab my tail making fall on the ground stopping me in the act. When I look in front of me I saw huge body at us in that direction that was standing before of a precipice, with the sound that we made with our coming the big body turns back to us. There it was the creature that the girls had mentioned before, it was a huge creature covered with a purple fur and a green stripe that going between it's legs to the neck, it was bipedal while it stood there in two legs and has two huge arms, it look's like that it was wearing the collar that some clowns wear in the neck, It has two long ears and three little horns in it's forehead, this creature was like somekind of monster rabbit and it was looking to us with it's yellow eyes and serious expression but at the time, it also looks tired for some reason. We don't say anything for a while as we just stood there in silence, we noted that behind this monster was ruins of the old royal castle. Then the creature look to it's back and there was a fallen bridge to cross the precipice, maybe Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy could lift it for the rest of us to use it, but the creature stood there inmobile with it's huge arms grabbing it's sides still watching us, it was if its was guarding the bridge. "Hey you!..." said Rainbow Dash flying over where we were pointing the creature with her right hoof. "Move out of our way, we have to cross that bridge." said Rainbow Dash being brave or very stupid. The creature surprise us answering shaking his head like if it was saying no and it move it's right arm while moving it's... 'Claw'? Up and down like if it want us to leave this place, looks like this thing was more intelligent that its appear to be. "Listen partner, we have something very important to do at the other of the precipice, but I want to know one thing first... Had you been in my farm?..." said Applejack a little upset as the creature moves it's head again saying no. "Liar! I know when somepony is lying, you and I have some unfinished business, pal." said Applejack now angry taking position to fight, looks like what this thing did in her farm was pretty extreme for her. "Calm down darling..." said Rarity as she walk closer to Applejack and put her right hoof on Applejack's shoulder and look back to the creature. "We are sure that our...'Big' friend here don't want to give a bad image with to us, maybe you and I we can have a deal, what about if I give you a good make up that could combine with that collar that you are wearing and you let's us to use the bridge?" said Rarity with her offer to the monster. The creature after hearing Rarity's offer got surprise and...A little scare? then it quickly got upset and stick out it's tongue to Rarity. "Eh? You impolite creature, you don't do that to a dame!" exclaim Rarity now angry with the creature. Then Fluttershy walk to the monster and stops a few meters of distance between them of course. "Excuse us mister monster, I know that we may kind upset you, but we really need to use the bridge, can you let us pass please, we promise that we don't bother you anymore." said Fluttershy pleading to the monster with her tearing eyes. With Fluttershy's words the creature seems to hesitate it's stubbornness as it looks away from Fluttershy but she fly to the sight of the monster with her pleading stare and the monster look to another way and Fluttershy fly again so the monster could still see her face. They continue like this for a while until finally the creature got angry and stomp it's right feet on the floor scaring Fluttershy as she quickly go and hide behind us as Rainbow Dash got upset with this. "That's it, we try to reason with you, but looks like you will only understand by force." said Rainbow Dash preparing herself. Not only Rainbow, Applejack and Rarity were getting ready to battle this monster as the creature was preparing itself to fight back and if that happen we will in a great danger. Only Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy who was hidding behind Pinkie and I were out of this conflict, the situation can't get worse than this, then I noted that the creature was closer the precipice, maybe just maybe...I Iook to Pinkie with that thought in my mind. "Pinkie, please stay with Fluttershy." I said getting ready to charge as I prepare a spell in my horn. "What are you gonna do?" ask Pinkie. "A crazy idea." I simple said while I ready to do my move. With that said I charge to the creature passing a side of Applejack, Ranbow and Rarity as they stood there stunned when they look at my action, from the other hoof the creature saw me approaching to it and lift it's right arm to perfom a swim move to hit me but I was ready to do my attack first. "Girls close your eyes!" I exclaim as they quickly as I said. After that, I release my spell and create a shining and bright light a meter of distance in front of the creature. The effect was immediate and I successfully blind the monster as it shout upset and move it's arms to cover it's face for what I have done, then I look back to Ranbow Dash. "Ranbow now!" I exclaim t her. Rainbow Dash don't loose a second and quickly fly directly to the monster and give it a good kick in the belly. The creature with the impulse and strenght of Ranbow Dash's kick made it to take a step back and it's foot touch the edge of the precipice, with the weight of the monster in that position was enough to making it fell in the precipice, but at the moment when it was falling I was too close to the creature and it caught me in it's left claw with a firm grip as both of us fell. "Twilight!" I hear the girls calling my named concerned. I close my eyes, I was expecting that the monster and I fall down until we crash on the floor but instead I feel like if I was hanging in the air. When I open my eyes and look around I noted that the creature still had me in it's claw by my tail while with it's other arm was holding the edge of the precipice, avoiding our fall, as I look up to the monster I noted that he was looking down to me, it's was breathing deeply while it panting, looks like this creature was at its limits. "Twilight are you ok?!" I hear Applejack voice calling me as I saw how the 5 mares peek their heads on the edged of the precipice. "Hang on there dear, we will save you!" Exclaim Rarity. In that moment the monster look into my eyes for brief moment and I saw something in those eyes until it lift the arm that was carrying me and throw me over it's body and I end up falling on the ground closer to the girls as they trot to my side to see if I was ok, luckily I was fine. Then we hear the sound of movement behind us we turn to look at our backs we saw the monster climbing up out the precipice edge and drags it's body to the surface and stood there on it's knees panting and move it's head to see us. "I...sorry..." said the creature with a male creepy voice surprising us before it fall on it's belly to the ground and close it's eyes. "It can talk?" said Applejack atonish, then Fluttershy fly closer to the monster's face. "Be careful Fluttershy." said Rarity concerned and Fluttershy turn to us when she finished on checking the monster "Is ok girls, it seems it has passed out exhausted." said Fluttershy as she fly to us. "What do we do now?" said Pinkie as we stood there looking to the sleeping creature for a while until I come with the better choice. "We go and find the elements of harmony first, Nightmare Moon and her eternal night is a bigger issue, we can deal with this creature when Princess Celestia returns." I said to the girls who nod in agreement with the situation in our hoofs. "Ok girls, with sleepyhead out of our way, I just go and put that bridge in its place." said Rainbow Dash confident. With that said, Rainbow Dash go to fix the bridge so we can continue our way to the old royal castle. Still that creature really intriged me, why it was trying to stop us? If that was its intention then why it save me instead of dropping me to the abyss? There was too many things concerning me right now, but one thing at a time, I just hope that creature stay sleeping after we come back. Royal Pony sister's castle ruins Lizzie's POV How much time has passed? Nightmare Moon has come to our camp threatening my brother and then kidnapping me and teleporting us to the old castle of the pony sister's throne room, after that she put me inside a cage made of dark magic, something strange about it is that between the bars was somekind of barrier that made see everything outside blurry. When the figure of Nightmare Moon was gone, I try to use my Puppy howling and Petit punch at the cage but nothing happens, so I stay there worry about my brother as I cry there alone. Later on some flash appear in the room that caught my attention and watch outside the cage some figure of two ponies, one was an alicorn that I suppose was Nightmare Moon and the other was smaller with a horn, could it be Twilight? The moment of the elements of harmony has come? With this barrier I can't see a thing properly, I even try to call for help but it seems that no sound come out of this cage, this sucks. After a while I could see more ponies entering in the room as they trot to Twilight's side, as the time time pass a light appear where Twilight and her friends were standing and few moments after the bodies of the ponies start to float as the power of that light increase and releasing a multicolor ray that looks like a rainbow to Nightmare Moon and then a bright flash covered the entire room. After that flash of light I noted that I was no longer in that cage anymore, I was free, then I noted how Twilight and her friends were talking while I was still a side of the throne, I was thinking in going out from where I was and thank them for help me even If they doesn't know what they do after defeating Nightmare Moon, but a flash entered the room from a window and Princess Celestia made her appearance in front of the ponies, bringing the sunlight to the room. When Princess Celestia congratulated them and then she turn to where Nightmare Moon was, who after the purification of the elements of harmony had done, she return to her old form of Princess Luna. The pony sisters reunited in a fraternal hug and I decide to wait for a while to come out just to not break out the moment, when the ponies were ready to go I finally come out from where I was and reveal myself. "Wait, wait for me!" I exclaim walking to the ponies. "What the?" said Rainbow Dash who was the first that turns to look me. "Who's that?" said Twilight who look me surprise an curious as the rest of the presents turns to look at me. "Hi." I said smiling nervous lifting my paw in front of everyone, or I should say everypony? Then Fluttershy come closer. "Liz? What you doing here?" ask Fluttershy concerned. "Did you know her darling?" said Rarity looking to Fluttershy. "Uh huh, we meet in the forest when I was looking for my forest friends, Princesses, girls, meet Liz she is a diamond dog that I meet in the outskirts forest, she is traveling with her big brother." said Fluttershy introducing me to the presents. "Nice to meet you all." I said a little shy while rubbing my left paw with the other. "But why you are here Liz?" ask Fluttershy concerned. "Well..." I said with a sad look while I turn to Princess Luna who at first doesn't seem to know but then she react surprised with shame and guilt remembering what she had done as she take a step to me. "We-I...I really sorry, I'm not asking your forgiveness but I'm truly ashamed by my acts that I had done to your brother and you, young Liz." said Princess Luna lowering her head to look me into my eyes, I could see some tears coming out of them. "Luna? What had you-" Princess Celestia try to say but I interrupt her. "Is ok, you don't truly mean to do what you had done." I said with short smile, cheering Princess Luna. "Young Liz...Thank you." said with a warm smile with her teary eyes. After that I was now walking together with the group of ponies tru the old castle following the princesses. Pinkie Pie was closer to me asking me a lot of questions about my likes, what was my favorite flavor of cake, If I like parties and more, Rarity was asking about my ring and while Twilight and Fluttershy was walking in front of us chatting a bit, the only ones that were kind of distance were Applejack and Rainbow Dash, I guess they were suspicious about me. When we were getting out the castle at the entrace we look a big figure coming to our direction as we hear the sound of the ground when it rumbles. "What? Is him again." said Twilight concerned. "It woke up more earlier than we expect." said Rainbow Dash said flying over us preparing herself to fight. "What Is that thing?" said Princess Celestia atonish. "Jim!" I exclaim in joy as I run to Jim's direction. "Liz wait don-" try to said Fluttershy but it was stopped by Princess Luna's hoof. "Liz!..." exclaim Jim smiling as he rush to me extending his arms and caught me in his hands lifting my little body bringing me closer to his face. "I thought that I couldn't never see you again sis." said Jim glad to know that I was ok. "Is ok Jim I'm alright now." I said with joy. "What? 'Sis'? Does it mean that this huge creature is..." said Twilight trying to putting the gears together without any success. "Your brother?!" exclaim everypony except for Princess Luna who know about it from the beginning. "Eh? Yeah." my brother said so simply to the presents ponies.
