Time to Shine

14. Season of the Witch

“Enemies of the princesses claimed they were conquerors and tyrants, but ponies tell a different story of course. Unicorn, pegassai and earth pony legends of Nightmare Moon and the thestral’s tales of The Sun Tyrant notwithstanding it is known that they were both much loved. At the end of their reign, they retired and turned the nation over to Twilight Sparkle, hardly tyrannical acts. And that of course led directly to her Equis Creature Coalition.”

—Pena “On the Origins of Ponies*(*and Others) and Magic”

14. Season of the Witch

The air was thin this high, too thin for comfort. Higher than any bird would fly. “Wow good thing we can fly, eh?” asked the blue siren Sonata as she fell hundreds of lengths a second. She resembled a dragon, but with webbed pony legs ending in hooves, the dorsal spines, fins, and tail of a fish.

“Yes Aria,” said the purple Aria as the three Sirens whirled about heading to a lower altitude. Normally they never flew so high, but the portal that had led them back to Equestria had been so high above the cloud deck that the Canterhorn of Canterlot was still far below them.

"This is it, girls. The moment we've been waiting for. Let’s head for the ocean,” said the pale-yellow Adagio pointing east. “Otherwise, it’s river fish and I know you much hate those Aria.”

“Not as much as I love them,'' sang the blue Sonata. “I mean it's not a taco, but they can sure be crunchy, and they aren’t salty at all!”

“Shut up and sing,” said Adagio. “If I have to listen to you, we can at least practice our big reunion encore.”

The Dazzlings began to level out beneath the clouds. They were among the fastest flyers ever, and the height they had traded for speed had them already nearing horseshoe bay.

Ahh, ah-ah, ahh
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ahh, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Welcome to the show
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
We're here to let you know
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Our time is now
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Your time is running out
Ah, ah, ah

Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ha, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Feel the wave of sound
As it crashes down
You can't turn away
We'll make you wanna sta-a-a-ay

We will be adored
Tell us that you want us
We won't be ignored
It's time for our reward

Now you need us
Come and heed us
Nothing can stop us now

The Dazzlings sang joyfully as they soared, Sonata Dusk, Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze were back in the world of their birth and were free and happy once again.

As the sun set Siren shone brightly in the night sky as the three powerful creatures rose and dipped through the clouds spinning in joy while the shafts and rippling curtains of magic restored danced in the skies over Equis. With lights of purple, yellow, red, and blue, the heavens rejoiced at their return, and the winds echoed their song.
