Chapter 15: The Madness is unleashed, Ultimate Battle magic, A light in the darkness, The Hall of Generosity, Fluttershy the Saviour, on the way for Kindness.
Ditzy´s Pov:
If I thought that things couldn´t get worser, of course, I must mistaken there, it happened faster as I proceeded, as I woke up I was stranded on a new beach , away from all the others, beside me lay only the Blonde angel pegasus from earlier, but hadnt I really any time to reconstruct, what exactly has happened, because in the next moment I was trapped, by these cannibal ponies, I picked up the angel and flew up in the sky out of reach of them, but was this pegasus heavy, I only could manage to fly to the other side of the island, for quiet a time we had now a bit of peace, but didn´t I knew what to do, as I was up in the sky I could overlook our situation, we were on one Island of some islands which are in a ring formation, with a larger one in the middle, as much as I saw it was now completely dark, I had no idea of which time it was but could I say that it was still far from evening.
“I hope the others are okay!” I said as I cooled the pegasuss forehead, with an towel out of my saddlebags, wetting by the nearby lake, she was still unconsious and breathed hard, as she woke up earlier, she managed only to say her name, Aurora, a beautiful name I must say, and she was beautifull herself, not that I was bisexual but she certainly would have great success with the stallions in ponyville, she seemed to be a bit younger than me, I needed to snicker as I thought of my actual age and the words, a bit younger.
Well I ask myself in what we have been dragged in now, I mean it should be a peacefull travel to the island of light and now this, I was stranded on a foreing island,separated from the other, with a foreign angel pegasus, which was in fact unconsious and I was chased by some stranged cannibalponies.
“This whole trip begins to suck extremly!” I muttered to myself a bit annoyed, on top of that I lately didn’t feel that full on the top, since that magical night with Jacky, could it be that i´m,…., no way, not that fast, or maybe, yes, well anyways I have plenty of time to think about it after we finally managed to also move over the newest hindrance.
“I wish I were by Dinky now!” I said a bit louder, as I asked myself what my personal angel would tdo right now.
“Who is Dinky!” I heard it coming, a faint voice from under me, I looked down on my lap to see Aurora, being awoken.
“She´s my daughter , and my little miss sunshine!” I said , she looked confused.
“Sunshine, what is that?” She asked con fused, but now it was me who was confused.
“You don´t know sunshine, they are the rays of the sun!” I said, she looked much ,more confused.
“Sun, what is that, something to eat?” She asked leaving me dumbfounded, what does she mean, didn´t she know what the sun was.
“You never saw the giant fireball raising in the sky when it is morning?” I asked worried.
“No , since I can think the sky always looked like this!” She said as she pointed weakly upwards, I looked up to see big black clouds over the whole ocean as far as my vision reached.
“So you never saw , Sun, Moon or Stars!” I asked again but she shook her head in no, she tried to stand up but she falled back in my lap, still too weak to stand up.
“Hey stop it, don´t push yourself, okay, you are still too weak to go!” I said as I gently put her back in my lap as she tired to stand up from new.
“I guess so, thanks for caring about me Miss….?” She looked at me curious.
“Ditzy, Ditzy Doo or you also can call me simply Lumena!” I said , as she shooked my hoof.
“Greetings, nice to meet you mis Lume……., OH MY GOSH; YOU; YOU ; YOU ARE LUMENA; THE WHITE ANGEL; IM SO SORRY!” She shouted as she tried to bow before me, I pushed her back firmly.
“Stay down or you will hurt yourself, and what do you mean with white, last time I checked, my coat was gray!” I said as I looked at her with a stern expression making her squirm, I relaxed instantly.
“The Angel has come back to bring us back the light, the prophecy begins to take action!” She said and I could see tears of joy in her face.
“She will bring back the light and raise the shield of light again , making all evil going away, and once again she will rule about the light, with her wings of pure light, like it was foretold from so long!” Aurora said, having tears of joy in her eyes, she put a hoof up to my face making me blushing, she rose and layed her head on my chest getting lost in my heartbeat, it was a familiar feeling, like Dinky was here, I felt her tears soaking my coat but didn´t I cared about it, I simply put an hoof on her back supporting her, and carresed her back, like I always did by Dinky, I was lost in the moment, but did I still sensed a cracking branch.
“psst, be quiet , there is someone coming!” I shusshed her , and she was instantly quiet.
“You don’t have to be afraid, im not one of the Cannibal ponies!” An eldery and raspy voice spoke.
“who are you, step for and show yourself!” I said as I slowly rose from my sitting position, ready to fight with my bare hoofs.
“You wish is me order, Lady Lumena, White Angel of Light!” The Voice said and before my eyes an eldery pony emerged out of the forest in front of us, he looked at us with a warm smile.
“I see you are still in one piece, Aurora!” The Elder said.
“Father Light Star, you have survived, i´m so relieved!” Auror a said ash she stood up, and bowed before the Elder pony.
“Yes I am alright my Little Student!” The elder pony said, he has a warm soothing voice, so I wasn´t prepared in the slightest for the next voice.
“Only, how long that still would be, is a question no one can tell an answer so far!” it came behind the elder pony, and he bolted backwards towards us, I got hit by a strong wave of evil Force, I got an ice cold felling by this voice and I knew that everything that could have go wrong just became true in this one moment.
“Who are you?” I shouted but I earned only laughing.
“Ahahahahhaha, have we really forgotten everything, must say this was our masterpiece, creating an total amnesy by one of the Elements of Symphony, what an ironie, an Angel who cant remember the own light!” The voice said as the silhouette of a pony with long hair came in sight, the dark creature , stepped in the light of Auroras Hailo, revealing a Mare with a long Scar across her muzzle, she wore a blue dress a bit tunica-like, her eyes were demonical yellow with lyzard-like pupils, the few scars on top of her forehead seemed to be from hard fights, but what caught me of guard was the few Cannibal ponies next to her, they didn´t attack her, but looked at her with something in their eyes, like they awaited orders of her.
“Who in the whole world are you and what are you doing here, are you responsible for all of this!” I asked.
“My name is Miastaria, I am told to be the Element of Dark Magic, and for the responsibility, I am , for this and probably more!” She laughed, with that creepy voice of her, it was way creepier than Nightmare moons or anything else I ever heard, and it make me wanna vormit, right in her face.
“Lady Lumena , Aurora, you got to get out of here, I will hold them back but you need to go, you need to find the fragment of Light on this island, in the hall of courage, you will be able to find it, but beware the dungeon around is filled with traps and defense spells, I don’t know how strong this dark magician is but I will make sure to hold her back as long as I can!” Master Star Light said, as he launched Miastralia.
“What in the world is a fragment of light?” I asked Aurora, who suddenly got like very nervous.
“Uhmm, I , I, will tell you on the way to the dungeon!” She said uneasly as she began to run, me following her right behind.
A Few Moments Later:
“Well then, I am full ear!” I said to Aurora, as we runned side by side towards the Dungeon.
“Well umm okay, well after you lost your memorys, the elders decided that you should stay near the hospital in ponyville, in order to do so, our Highpristess, Mistress Brightlight Doo moved in with you, while they were absent, the darkness slowly began to creep in, and begen to set the inhabitants under their dark influence, feeling more and more hatred and discomfort raising in their hard they began to blame each other for the tiniest , silliest things, soon the situation escaleted as the first fist flew, it lasted a week so before some of them began their rampage across the City of Lumen, soon half of the city was set on fire, the fist fights began to go over in rampages, rampages go over in tinie neighborhood wars, and these soon escalated as an internal war inside of the Island, the The Eight Masters of Light, means Highpristess Brightlight and the other Masters, tried to solve the problems and conflicts but the darkness growed every day more and more, the more hatred and sorrow filled into the land the more rage built inside the hears and faster as our master thought, the whole island was in an giant war against itself, in this time the Masters of light saw only one possibility to restore the balance, they needed to use the Lightshield, but werent you there for using this Magic, so they decided to do it by themselves, they used the force of the Angelscore and their own magic to make an harmony katalysator out of it, it should send out waves of calm, calming and cooling of the heads of the folk, and it should restore the light but the Ritual failed as the Cathedrale became attacked , with help of their magic the masters used the Lightforce to defend the cathedrale and the land and tried to attack, but the unleashed force, was too strong and normaly not used for attack, so it went into overdrive and flowed out uncontrollaby, it began to destroy the land with a wave of laserlight , and as everything has ended, the land had vanished and only eight Islands remained, each priest on one island , unable to travel to the other, the Highpriestess tried to use Bargoonfrist, the bridge of light but she failed, the bridge was gone, same as the light, of the once joyfull glorious land, Darkness had won, we even used the light of our world to let that happen, unexpected and unwanted by any of us, but this was before our time, we were found as the Land already had been destroyed and only the islands remained, we were found by your Mother, she gave us shelter as we still were in foaly age, she did everything to keep us away from the darkness, but did we see it everyday, she suffered, not able to become cheer up don’t matter what we tried, we one day asked her why she seemed to be so absent and sad sometimes, she said that she needed to left somepony dear to her behind because of her duty to come back to try to save the land, but now that her only way towards that special somepony had been destroyed, she was litterally trapped on this island.
It made us sad to see her so, so we tried everything to make her life a bit brighter, we learned attentively, magic and other stuff, we tried to cheer her up as much as we could, we helped her to rebuild the much of the cathedrale, what we could manage, but did we always knew that she was still sad about it, and so we decided to go searching after that special mare, due to our young force we would may be able to get over the ocean savely, but well the rest you know, we got chased by the darkness and next thing I was on this island together with the Angel we wanted to search, what a luck we have to find you, now we only need to restore the the Fragments of light and then everything will be alright again!” Aurora said with an joyfull but still a bit sad expression, well I for my own did got a bit of information of whats going on here but havent I still got my answer.
“It was nice from you to tell me all of this, but you haven´t really answered my question, didn’t you?” I asked a bit annoyed.
I saw her getting nervously and then she sighed in defeat.
“I hoped I werent the one to told you about it, because I feared your reaction and I can say its not easy to do now at all, but one needs to do that anyway, well that what we call the fragments of light is are actual eight Pieces of the Angelscore!” Aurora said but I was confused as I repeated it to myself.
“Wait , what do you mean by pieces of the Angelscore?” I asked, and she began to sweat, to extremly and terribly to sweat, she clenched her teeeths to not bring it out, but my stubborn, stern and not-pleased-at-all expression must have told her to spill it out.
“I mean that the Angelscore has been broken after all of the force has been flowed out uncontrolably, it broke in eight pieces, and the remaining lightforce separated and instantly crystalized, we hid it under the ruins of the cathedrale, hoping to someday being able to repair the core, but we failed always so we decided to seal away the fragments of the Angelscore while we wait for you to come back to us, being able to rebuilding the force of light in this sea of darkness. You are our savior and we will always be gratefull of what you did!” Aurora said bowing before me, in fear, my jawn hit the ground by the words Angelcore and broken in pieces.
“Okay , let me get this straight, so you are saying that your master and my mother and the other priest have broken my Angelscore, the source of my ultimate power!” I asked and I was hystericall.
“Have you ever thought about what would happen when we are not able to repair it, that our whole mission is in danger and so the world we are living in!” I asked while I facehoofed myself multiple times.
“We are very sorry about it, but didn´t they knew what else to do, the land was practicaly covered with blood of their own inhabitats!” Aurora said quietly while backing away a bit, I put a wing around her and looked her straight in the eyes.
“When we managed to restore the light I will have to speak with your masters , about two things, one will be the situation and the other thing is about you and your Sister!” I said to her, she shivered, while I looked evilly at her, there are time where I just cant other but trolling a bit around the peoples in my company, especially when I am angry, it always worked by the three of them, Dinky, Carrot top and Dr Whooves/Jacky, when we were in private with our friends, or like now, just like this occasion.
“S-sure Lady Lumena!” Aurora said still shievering like a leaf, she began to walk a bit forward.
“Oh and Aurora!” I sang.
“Y- Yes, Lady Lumena?” She asked frantically, turning around with a terrified expression , afraid as I aproached her so close that my lips almost touched hers, I cant resist the urge of a trolling before going litterally underground to save this land, call me crazy but this is who I am now.
“Didn´t I tell you to simply call me by my name, and to quit the Lady, angel in white or whatever?” I asked her , she gasped, and throw herself in the dust.
“I am so sorry Lad,… I mean L-Lumena!” She said , I got down on my knees , picking her face up with one hoof.
“Never do that again!” I said to her, picking her up with my hoof still under her chin.
“If I ever see you bowing before me again I will seriously doing something bad to you, you have no right to bow before me, because you are way too adorable to do so, when the battles are over and I managed to get my full power and memorys back I will make you and and your sister to my personal students got it, I never want to see you cowering , backing away or bending nor bowing nor throwing yourself in the dust before me, I will that you treat me like every one else I will be for you only like a big sister , not more and not less, got it!” I said with determination and a stern look.
“A-Alright, b-big Sister!”Aurora said, trembling in fear, expecting of eventually understood it false and just did an very impolite thing to her godness and queen , the saviour of light, to me.
But what she felt then made her laughing.
I nuzzled her side, and blow a raspeberry in her stomach making Aurora laughing, and for a moment both of us forgot all the cruelity around them, but soon were back to our minds.
“So enough fun, we have an Angelscore fragment to search, so this is the said Dungeon not?” I asked my new folksister, while Tenebra was my Sister by our forces, and by my own creation and maybe by blood,( I honestly never even tested that), Aurora however was now my sister of my Folk, like Zecora to Floraya.
“Yes, this is the temple of light in which the Hall of Courage lies, but this is not the only hall, there are in total 8 halls, the Hall of Wisdom, of Loality, of Honesty, of Magic, of Generosity, of Tolerance, of Courage, and of Kindness, they are in a circle around the main hall, the Hall of Purity, in the Cathedrale of Light, its said that the hall of Purity can only be entered by someone who is of pure heart regardless of how many cruel thing it must done to bring the light out, only someone who fights with magic for a pure and good reason, someone who held love and courage inside him, has the wisdom of generosity, is loyal to his friends and familly, who is kind to everyone, someone who is honest, and someone who tolerate others for what they are not what they do or what they have can enter this hall, the room is with protected with an soulbalance spell, which looks in ones soul to decide if one could enter, its said that since centurys was no one able to enter , only you, Lumena, and the Highpriestess were ever able to enter, the hall, it was something called like the Valhalla of Lumen, its really sad to see this land now like this, I have seen many books and pictures of how it once looked here and I must say I saw our Masters and the Mistress aching for this time to come back, they hope that we will be able to finally live up this land again with ponies and that it may be again as it always was after we restored the light here!” Aurora said and I wished it too, I really want to see this land back to the old days, so that I maybe can remember myself on it.
“Well then, lets take the first step to a new age of light!” I said and together we entered the Dungeon.
Meanwhile with Rarity, Spike and Pinkie:
Rarity´s Pov:
“Why in the world must dungeons always being so dark and scary!” I asked myself this question since we entered this dark hole in a mountain, I mean seriously, I was just awoken and instantly the others and me got attacked by some dark creatures, looking like giant, creepy bugs, then suddenly comes such an old Stallion , and he fighted against the bugs , defending us, he shouted to us to go searching for the dungeon, to search a so called Fragment of light, it should be important for the islands rescue, seriously whats going on here.
“Because they are dungeons after all, and we still have the dragonflame I made, with the torch Pinkie made!” Spike said, ripping me out of my thought, the said Pink pony next to me, danced all around happily, almost the same as that time as we walked in the Everfree for the first time, when we needed to get the Elements of Harmony to defeat Nightmare moon.
“I don’t know what you mean Rarity, it isn´t scary at all in here, we are save and that stallion from earlier told us to go search for the fragment, although I have no clue what that is but this is so awesome, a real adventure, even when I am sad about the others, missing all the fun but this will come alright soon, I can feel it!” Pinkie shouted out, her voice strenghen from the walls, making my head spinning.
“Darling, can you please stop the shouting while we are in here, my ears are ringing and you fright me everytime from new!”I whined, covering my ears.
“Okiely-Dokiely-Lokiely!” She shouted , and I needed to groan, how is this my life.
“Shshsh, quiet you too I hear something!” Spike suddenly said, I silenced myself and listened.
“crck, crck, crck, click, clack!” There were noises just like a spider makes when they show one in the animal docus,…., wait, spiders?
I looked upwards, to see the absolute horror for me, over us hanged over hundred of spiders.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!” I screamed and I runned in the dark.
“Wait Rarity, don’t run so fast, wait up!” Spike screamed and followed me together with Pinkie.
“Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyy!” Was the only sound heardc outside of the dungeon.
I runned for my dear life, not caring where I exactly runned, I only wanted to get away from these spiders, I hate spiders with a passion.
“Go away, go away!” I screamed , even when all of this was completely unlady-like, I didn´t cared for once, before I could see it I stumbled over my hooves as the tunnel suddendly became much more slippery, I recognized water under my hooves, I wanted to stop but it was already too late.
“Noooooooooo!” I screamed as I suddenly was thrown into kind of an wild water rollercoaster.
“Aaaaaah!” I assume this was Spike.
“Yuchaaaaaaaaay!” And this was definitely Pinkie.
The crazy ride lasted not very long, however, it ended in an fairly wet fun, means in a lake, a strange lake I must say, but if this wasn’t the only thing, this flowing water began to drag me deeper into the hole, but suddenly I saw a light at the end of the tunnel, finally a bit of light I said to myself, I looked behind to see my sweet Spikey-wikey, being draged away from me, so Pinkie, I wanted to shout but suddenly the water draged me down , I saw underwater how the water dragged me towards a bright light in one of the walls.
“Oh gosh no!” I screamed as I got draged down, I found myself again on a Water roller coaster, but what I saw made me speechless, the rollercoaster ride, cleared in an giant Hall withing the Mountain, but what actually impressed me the most , even with the ride, was that the whole rockwalls were shining like gold under sand , and right in the middle stand a giant rock tower and on top of it was a Temple-like looking building, made of pure gold, the trails on which Pinkie and Spike appeared seemed to run around and through the stone tower together with mine, and they ended in,…., the water, oh great.
“SPLOSH!” and with this sound I landed face forward in the water, next to me Pinkie and Spike ended both in the water too.
“Puaah, remind me that I shall ask twillight to someday go with me on an fairpark, that was actually funny!” Spike said grinning from ear to ear.
“Again, I want it a second time!” Pinkie Shouted, I facehoofed myself, how is this my life, really.
I looked up to see Spike blushing, I must admit, he looks extremly cute this way.
“Wow Rarity, you look so beautifull with your hair straight down!” He said making me blushing too.
“Well thank you Spikey, you are very handsome yourself, I said to him making his blush deeper, I snickered as he crawled his backhead from blushing so much.
“I-I guess we should looking for what we came here!” He said uneasy, almost stammering,……, cute.
“I think you are right!” I said , and I needed to shield my eyes for looking upwards as Pinkie shouted from high above.
“C´mon guys, we havent all day, the Stallion from before is maybe still fighting against these things!” Pinkie said and she had an good lead and I didn´t even questioned how she had done that, it´s simply Pinkie, this is mostly the same we say everytime to ourself, when she did that.
“Wait up we are right behind you!” Spike shouted, as he helped me out of the water, as a real gentleman does that and he was one more than he knew somedays.
Mean while with The Shamantrio:
Fluttershy´s Pov:
“Argh die already!” Miasmaria yelled in pure wrath as again one of her speels got thrown back, it quickly has become kind of an Dodgeball game, she fired one ball of pure dark energy off her mouth, (since she after all was an earthpony, with magical power), while Floraya either doged it or simply throw it back to her with her own magic, if you ever wanted to see a violent mage ballte, you were totally right here, Floraya already transformed back to her usual form, used splitmagic, means one half she forced from her own magifont, the other half she took from the nature aroundher, her two protegées, Granny Healleaf and me, had already killed an respectfull bunch of those killer-cannibal-ponies, which were spiced with the blackest magic, but both of us slowly lost more and more of our force.
“I can´t hold this out for much longerFluttershy, we need to destroy them all at once, or they will soon have us!” Granny said.
“Me neither, I am like totally sick of this, what did you think off, what shall we do, we cant let them getting near to Flora or else they will attack her, while she´s fighting Miasmaria!” I shouted over as I again shoot of an Wooden arrow, spiced a bit of magic from the nature, I don´t know how it happened but the Forest Ghost must have helped us, the magical force which surrounded the arrow, lighted up in an flurocentic green, it had the effect that the arrow flew faster and slammed harder into our villains, causing too of them getting impaled by one arrow, but those things seemed to come from nowhere, as soon as one was down , two new of them appeared as if they were kind of Hydra things.
“Its coming more and more of them, what shall we do granny?!” I yelled , while shooting again an arrow of, luckily the shade in which the arrows layed was made of a magical wood, which reproduced the arrows when one is taken out of it, kinda like an endless weapon spell, made by Floraya, made from over centuries, it´s said that she once used itself when she first had been reborn in the second millenium of their world.
“well I have only one option left, we need to fight different, it would be better with swords!” Granny said, as she jumped back, and swung her bow turning it to an sword, only the heaven knows how she had done that.
“But where the heck do I get a Sword from, and even when I have one, I never used one before!” I screamed with annoyance.
“The Nature will guide you, you have simply to trust her, fighting with a sword is like dancing!” Granny said as she indeed seemed to dancing throught the crowd of C-ponies.
“Well thanks for the tip, I never really was a good dancer!” I shouted in anger, I was about to getting killed by these things and all she could say was that I shall belive on the nature, that she will guide me, well, when I need to die , I at least can remember myself on an dream I once head, a dream which I hided since that time, a few years ago.
“I hope you are alright, Pinkie!” I said as I closed my eyes, thinking of how it would be to dance with this crazy, happy, awesome mare , when she would be mine, I actually never was in mares before or did I ever intendet to do so, but since I know her she always has this happy appearance , and even when she doesent show it in a regular of normal way, she was one of the kindest ponies I know, always trying to cheer me, or others up, always want us to be happy, comforting us when we are sad, I never told someone it but there was a night in which I was extremly sad because one of my dearest and oldest animal friend had died, I didn´t knew what to do, in the next few days, I wasn´t myself anymore, I didn´t wanted to do anything, I was harsh to Angel and others, I just wanted to cry till the world ends, in this time Pinkie popped , like always, out of nowhere asking me if I wanted to have some fun and throw a party with her, I was annoyed, and I didn´t wanted to see her nor any other of my friends today, so I tried to get her out by pushing her out, as I turned she sat again in my livng asking me a second time the same question, after the fifth time she did this I loosed it , I screamed at her to leave me alone, I wanted her out but did I know that I probably hurt her feelings, she looked sadly at me, got me all guilty , I wanted to apologize, but she scoffed and run off, I was sad, did I made the only pony friend who actually tried to cheer me up sad by denying, that I actually do needed an cheer up, it haunted me all the day until the night, I couldn´t bear it anymore, so I made my way down to the town to apologize.
As I came near the Sugarcube corner, I heard partysounds, happy shouting and talking, blowed airhorns and blasting party music, not wanting to intterupt the party with my words of guilt and my own discomfort, I turned and wanted to head back home , agreeing with myself to come back the next day, that’s when I heard it, I heard sniffled and sobbing sounds from an dark alley, curious and concerned about somepony being hurt or sad I walked into the aley, I looked around only to found the object of my appology, sitting on an box with empty applecider-bottles, crying in vain, I approached her and she looked up, she stared with an dark and angry expression at me, barking at me asking me in anger of what I think I did there, I started to apologize but I got cut off as she told me that she don’t care, that she wanted me to go, I was almost about to do that but my heart told me that this was not just because of me, but also because of something else and that this sorry filly needed my whole attention now, something I didn´t wanted to have earlier, so I stubbornly said that I do not leave her before I can proper apologize, I asked her what was going on, she still barked and shouted for a half hour before she gave up asking me to get lost, so she simply sobbed in her forehooves.
I put my arm around her, asking her what had happened, she said that her coltfriend broke up with her, on the party, but in order to not ruinating the mood with stopping the party, she excused herself, and stumbled outside here, she said she yelled for at least 20 minutes before breaking down , and then 5 minutes after I found her , I took her in my arms and let her soaking my shoulder with tears , I patted her back and told her about of how sorry I was for earlier and that I didn´t wanted to partying because of my friends death, she understood and said that it was an bad day for both of us, that we both had lost someone dear to us, on different ways but still, I stroke her mane and did something which surprised even me that time, I kissed her soft, fluffy mane in order to calm her, while stroking it gently, it smelled wonderfull , like cotton candy, I honestly always asked me , since I knew her, how her mane smelled, I had already smelled all the hair of my other friends, always on kinda accident, but with her I never had such an accident, even that I sometimes even tried to cause such a kind of accident, well she looked up when I kissed her mane a second time, and she had such a cute blush around her nose, I didn’t think of what I did but I nuzzled my snout with her making her blush deeper, I looked in her eyes and I saw something which I always searched, trust, comfort, unlimited friendship and even a hint of love, pure love.
That was what I searched, I kissed her snout , taking her off guard, she smiled shyly, her face was almost as red as Big Macintosh´s coat, I kissed again and this time she kissed back, we shared a few other shy kisses before I wrapped my forhooves around her, we agreed that it was only for this night and only because we each ached fro comofrt and a soul to share our heart, and so we began to french kissing, it never happened more than kissing and back rubbing in both love and comfort, soon we decided to go back to the party and to get happy for this time, it lasted a few weeks after and I still couldn’t get this feeling out of my head, evertime I saw her I wanted to feel her lips again against mine, I wanted to feel her hooves rubbing my back, in circles or in any crazy manner she could imagine,that’s when I finally recognized, that I was heavy in love with the Pink powerbundle, and even now in this desperate situation, surrounded by those cannibalistic pony-like creatures, soon killed by an dark magician, I thought about her, how it would be to dance a slow lovely dance with her, my hooves resting around her neck , my head on her chest listening to her sweet heartbeat.
No , I have to fight, I cant let these things take away all those wonderfull memories with her, nor will I let them take my dream, I will not allow them to take on Pinkie either.
“No, I will not allow you to hurt my friends!” I screamed as I swung my arrow, I felt the magic of nature running through it.
“When you want something so bad, want it to become true, want to protect it, the nature will hear you always and if you are good to her, she will help you, with all that she got!” I heard Floraya´s words, which she told me on the way to the beach earlier that day.
I felt how the arrow began to change it´s shape, I closed my eyes , focusing my mind on my echo-vision, I already knew it but was it still a strong wave of dark aura which hit me as I focused on the things auras, I saw how their silhouettes were covered with darkness, but then I saw something other, I saw that one of those things had an spot of light in it´s aura, I was sure confused, but I knew that this spot had to mean something.
“Ghost and spirit of nature , please lend me your force, off that I can save the lost souls from the darkness!” I said and I felt how the sword I held in my hands began to get powered up with Natural Magic, I felt how my Element of Kindness began to get warm , a gentle warmth wrapped arround my neck as the element again transformed itself into a necklace, but it didn´t stopped there, but I felt how the warmth of the element began to raise through my body in my forehooves and throught them into the sword, I suddenly saw how symbols appreared on the sword, and I felt a strong wave of magic, both , overhelming strong by the sense of nature, and extremly kind and warm too, I closed my eyes again , focusing on the first c-pony before me, I aimed at the spot of light in its aura and stabbed, I heard an yelp, I opened my eyes and I saw how the darkness diappeared out of the ponies eyes, I saw how suddenly its coat became an other color and her teeths grew back to normal pony-like teeths, all in all the thing began to transfom itself into a pony.
My jaw hit the ground, infront of me a pony, a mare, stretched as if she just had woke from a slumber, the halo over her head shined bright and her wings of light appeared , just like by the two angel ponies from earlier on the beach.
“Mhmm, what has happened , where am I ?” The pony asked me , I saw suddenly something creeping up behind her.
“Bend over!” I screamed and jerked her body down, I closed my eyes and sliced right in the light-spot of the aproaching new C-pony, causing it to yelp, I opened my eyes and like before it transformed back into a pony, all the darkness fading away from her.
That’s when I understood, these things weren´t some breat from the darkness, no it were only Ponies who had gotten posessed by the darknes around.
“Granny Healleaf, drive them over to me!” I yelled to my grandmother, who looked curious, but as she saw the two angelponies, and my sword she must have understood it, so she turned around an slayed her woodsword around, making the C-ponies jumping out of her way in fear, I closed my eyes again but this time I focused on more than one, I decided that I will go for a line formation, I took the sword between my hooves , draged one rearhoof back and got myself a kickstars I runned along the line of possesed ponies, while I sliced my sword through their bodies always through the light spot, I made it slow but on a fast pace, giving everyone of them just enough magic to turn down the darkness.
I looked back to see if I managed to do an effect and indeed all the darkness left from them and they all returned to their old form, some of them fall in each others arms relived that the nightmare was over, there were still a few of them who still were under the curse of darkness, and which I needed to release.
“I don’t know what you did but it works fairly good, I am proud of you, but there are still a few of them, care if I help you!” Granny heal leaf said, huffing in exhaustion, I nooded and holded my sword to her, I thought about sharing my kindess to her , so she can help the other poor posessed creatures to release themselves from the darkness which had consuming their hearts.
It worked, also grannys sword became a power-up of my magic, together we got in position.
“Are you ready, Fluttershy!”
“I am , are you?” I asked back.
“I am, let´s make your mother and Floraya proud on us!” She said and together we runned slicing the darkness away from the remaining ponies, all of them had been healed and released.
“We did it!” I squealed as I hoofbumped my Grandmother.
“Argh!” I heard it coming from the direction in which Floraya and Miasmaria fought.
“Oh no, Flora!” I screamed as I runned with them to the battlefield.
A real horror scenario stand before me, several destroyed or burned trees stood around a center where Flora still fought against Miasmaria, both of them in an rush to get a good blow on their opponent in a kind of sick Dodgeball game with magical energy balls.
“We need to help her!” I shouted, I wanted to jump in but Granny Healleaf hold me back.
“No let them, we cant do anything at all, the level on which they fight is way too high, and Flora is only able to fight so well because of years of practise and her natural resistance as an Alincorn, if you would interrupt them you would get killed for sure, leave them until one of them gives up, I can tell that Floraya will not give up but am I not sure if she really can destroy her own Great granddaughter, regardless of what they had become!” Grandma said, and I understood her, it was the feeling of a grandmother or a mother at all, Floraya had held them as foalys, had maybe feed them, cleaned them , put new diapers on them,laughed with them, blew raspberrys to their stomach, all the things a grandmother does to her granddaughters and all of this feelings had become stronger over all these milleniums and tried desperatly to change back, to the light side, the mare she fought, her own fleesh and blood
.
“Is there nothing we can do!” I asked and as someone cleared his throat, I turned around to be greaten by an elder stallion.
“Well since you can´t help your mistress in this fight, I think the best we can do for now is to at least return the light back to this island, in order to do that you have to find the Fragment of Light which is located in the Lantern Forest in the Hall of Kindness, behind us. I don’t know if it helped your mistress much but it will certainly bring one of the fragments of the Angels-core back, which is necessary to save this land and to rescue it from the darkness, we need to unleash the light again, so that its rightfull owner can get her full force back!” the elder said and the few reborn ponies behind him nodded.
“But before we must thank you for saving our souls!” The Elder said as all of them bowed before us. Granny looked with astoundment at the scene.
“Bearer of the Light of Kindness, and Bearer of the natural force, we apologize for our behaviour under the force of darkness, we apologize and want you to take our deepest thanks and respect for the force you keept inside, we have been release after years under the influence of our own darkness, which overcame us, consumed our hearts and changed us to what we have become and we are glad that we have been saved from our own pathetic weakness, we owe you our lifes, Bearers of the natural kindness!” They all said in unison one hoof to their hearts, head down, on one knee bowing before us as if we were gods to them.
“Please, you don’t have to bow before me, please stay up!” I said timidly and a bit embarassed.
“The way to the Hall of Kindness is hard and dangerous, picked with many traps, and the Light itself will test you, to see if you are worth and allowed to enter the hall, only one with a pure and kind heart is able to enter the hall, such as you are!” The elder said and I blushed, was I really that special.
“I will do it, no matter what but this island can´t stay this way!” I said.
“Then I will go with her, I will show her the way and protect her on it!” A mare stand up and looked with determination on her face.
“Candlelight, well if this is your wish!” the Elder said and the Mare walked next to me, giving me her hoof for greeting.
“Hello my name is Candlelight, I am one of the acolytes of the Cathedral of Light!” She said and I shook her hoof, she smiled at me and I smiled at her, I closed my eyes and looked in her soul, she was kind and I felt a warm comfort as if I knew her from somewhere, maybe I have met her before unknown by me.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Fluttershy!” I said and she nodded.
“I know, I knew your mother!”
