A Self Insert Tale

The Crystalling (Part Two)

“Ok, now that the Crystal Heart is now broken. We’re going to be buried alive in snow .” I say as I take a peek outside.

“Wave’s right. If we don't do anything soon. We can say goodbye to the Crystal Empire. There must be some kind of spell that can restore the Heart” Twilight says

“The library here at the castle is nearly as extensive as the one in Canterlot. There's a good chance we can find something there!” Cadence says

“Let’s do this, but first Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash go and try to convince the Crystal Ponies to go indoors. Celestia and Luna, go and try to ward off the storm for as long as you can. Waves, go and find both Starlight and Spike to make sure that they're ok. The rest of us will go into the library to try and find a spell to fix the Crystal Heart.” Twilight says before we all head out separate ways.

I run around the empire, trying to find Starlight and Spike. Soon enough, I find the two.

“Waves, what's going on? It looks like a whole storm is coming for the empire.”

“The baby's an Alicorn and accidentally destroyed the Crystal Heart. Twilight and Cadance are looking for a spell to put it back together right now and save the Crystal Empire from being destroyed.” I explain to them

“That sounds horrible. We really should go and help them.” Starlight says before the three of us headed towards the castle

Once we got there, we saw both Twilight and Cadance who were disappointed and saw. It turns out that Flurry destroyed the book that had the spell to fix the Crystal Heart. Starlight soon mentioned Sunburst and Cadance recommended that me, Spike, and Starlight go and ask for his help while Shining Armor goes out and evacuate the empire.

We soon made our way to Sunbursts house. 

“Sunburst! Haven't you looked outside in the past hour or so?” Starlight asks him

“What? That isn't normal… Isn’t the Crystal Heart supposed to protect the empire?” Sunburst asks

“Well, I would be protecting the empire if it wasn’t broken in a thousand peices right now!” I said

“Wait… The Crystal Heart is broken?! How did that happen?”

“Well, you see… Shining Armor and Cadance's baby is an Alicorn and well.. The baby isn’t really great with handling it’s magic so it ended up breaking the Crystal Heart! We came to your house to see if you have some kind of spell that could fix it.” Starlight said

“Y-You want me to help? You know, I'd like to help, I-I really would. I-I just have so much, um, important wizard work to do around here.” Sunburst said

I knew this was going to happen. I really shouldn't interfere with them. I honestly hope that the others are doing ok with the evacuation. 

“Sunburst, I know you're busy, but did you hear what I said?”

“Oh, I heard you, but-but like I said, when you're an important wizard, the work just piles up.”

“Look, Starlight, I want to help. I do. But I can't. I wish I could.”

“What do you mean?!”

“ Fixing an ancient relic? I-I can't even come close to doing something like that!”

“But I thought you were an important wizard!”

“Well, you were wrong, okay?! I'm not an important wizard! I'm not even a wizard at all! I know it's hard for you to understand, but not all of us end up achieving greatness.”

The two of them discuss for a little bit before Starlight reveals what she did while the two of them were apart

“Well, you don't know what it was like to be left behind! And then getting so bitter that you steal the cutie marks from an entire village and then get defeated by Twilight and her friends, so you travel through time to get back at them, but they beat you again and teach you about friendship, but you're so terrified ponies will find out what you did that you can't make any friends!”

Sunburst looks at Starlight with surprise before the two of them finally become friends again before I remind them of what is happening outside.

“Hey.. I’d hate to break up the two of you, but the Crystal Heart is still broken and we need a way to fix it.”

“Oh! I almost forgot. Sunburst, do you have any spells that can try to fix the Crystal Heart and let the Crystalling happen?”

“Crystalling….? I may have an idea!” Sunburst says before grabbing a collection of books and looking through them 

We soon make our way back though the empire, stopping where the others are. Starlight tells the others to head back to the castle as they had an idea and soon enough, we were back where the shattered remains of the Crystal Heart laid.

Sunburst then shared his idea of using the Crystalling to save the Crystal Heart. Everyone agreed on the idea and they soon began the event. Sunburst quickly merged the Crystalling crystal into the heart which was being held together by the princesses and Starlight. The heart finally was fixed and the blizzard went away while also crystalling everyone including myself which is pretty cool.

After that, everyone made their way back to the train station to head back to Ponyville. Cadence and Shining Armor finally gave Flurry her name while I boarded the train. I relaxed in the far back of the train to watch the empire. When the train started to depart from the station, I noticed something black flying towards the empire. I quickly realised that it was Thorax who was flying. I knew he was heading there thanks to all of the love that was in the empire. 

Today was certainly an exciting day and this wouldn’t probably be the last.
