Ponyville Chronicles

Chapter 1

I didn’t understand what was going on – why was there so much noise and flashing of lights? What had happened to the party and all the joy? There! I can see a bunch of nasty ponies and others attacking the Princess and the rest of the Element holders. Surely the Princesses will do something…? No! They’ve been turned into stone! Dinky…? Where is Dinky? Oh, muffins… I hope nothing has happened to her. Most of the ponies around me have been turned into statues – what happens if they get pushed over and break? Will they die? Dinky?

As I pause in the chaos around me, I see my destiny unfold as the evil mare has shot some kind of evil looking energy at a frightened Twilight Sparkle. Putting everything I had into my wings, I flapped as hard as I could to put myself in the way of whatever it was… To give what I loved so dearly a chance to escape.

“TWILIGHT!” I yelled as some kind of battle cry at the moment the spell hit me – every nerve in my body firing in simultaneous pain. As the darkness falls over me, I can just make out Rainbow Dash grabbing Twilight and our eyes met – her was an expression of understanding and mine one of thankfulness. As the spell took over me and turned me to stone, all I could think of was that I had done my duty and saved the love of my life…
