Fluttershy´s pov:

We were currently on our way through the Lantern Forest, it was an very beautiful and equaly peacefull forest, though, but then again it was almost a little bit too peace full.

“So, Candellight, you said you know my mother , how so?” I asked her curious.

“You Mother , came one day when the Elder of the tribe met with the Highpriestess, as the represantives of the different folks, the Elder or the leaders of each folk need to  travel from time to time together, to discuss the order in the land, with the princesses, or even with the Elements when they have time, which isn´t always the case, since years it haven given a real Elder council anymore, I know a few Elders or Leaders by the name, there were Miss Healleaf Dryade, your grandmother, and Master Ebony Shield, Lady  Floraya´s Father, then Our leader, Mistress Brightlight Doo, the only survivor of the Eldercouncil of Lumoria, Master Pounding Beat, from Symponya and Master Air Blade, from Fabula. These are the only one I really know, all the other shall, according to the history, only rule the council down in Old Equestria!” Candellight said, pausing to let me take it in, I nodded to tell her she may continue.

“I met her a few years ago from now, as I as the leader of the acolytes, and so as one of the Assistants of Mistress Brightlight, she that time came together with Mistress Healleaf and Master Ebony Shield to the Council of the Elders, as help as well as a bodyguard, we liked each other by one blink, and soon we became friends, we laughed together and told each other stories out of our hometown as much as we had time for it, after the council she needed to go back to their tribe, but we promised to see each other again, so we did, for several years and then ten years later, from the day when we first met, she came to me, but this time she came in an awefull state, shacking like leaf, she said that she had a request, she said that she saw coming unholy forces, taking over the land, it may be coming in a few decades but when it comes then the Land of Equestria and even old Equestria will getting shook in a fight which this world never had seen before, she said that she don´t know what else to do, no one really belives her, but I did!” Candlelight said making me curious of why.

“Why were you the only one who belived her that time, when not even her own family belived her!” I asked her.

“Because I saw it too, in a dream I saw what the future will bring, I saw death andchaos, but I also saw light, I saw how our strongest beings fought for the light in our world, to fight the darkness and bring the light and peace again, I saw that not only the Elements of Symphony but also of Harmony, were loose to fight for our world!” She answered as she sat herself on a fallen tree.

“Your Mother came too me , for asking me to keep something with me, something for her baby , when the time has come and she were old enough to return to her tribe, and old enough to come with her own grandmother to the Eldercouncil, but like you know, that had never become the case, both, Chlorophelia and Lumoria had managed to almost erase themselves, by fighting with each other, the survivors of our land had been overrun by their darkness, so me, but the treasure I had guarded so long under several spells, it was the last what I saw from your mother, and now you are here, and I am willing to give what rightful belongs to you!” Candellight said.

She held up her arms, and mumbled something, suddenly a bright lightsphere created itself out of nowhere , it got bigger until it luminated a good piece of the forest.

“Grab inside and take what is yours!” Candlelight said, and I did so, shyly I grabbed inside, I began to touch around unbtil I felt some facrib in my one hoof and something hard and long in my other, I took both out of the light sphere, I looked at it, it was some kind of a poncho, as well as a flute.

“thanks for sure but, what exactly are these!” I asked her confused.

“These are a poncho made out of the naturals minerals, and drenched in a mixture to better take over the magical force of the nature, it looks a bit, how to say funny but I think your mother would have gave it too you when it were useless, anyways, and this here is a very special and rare flute, its called `the flute of the tamers´, its said that she has the ability to reach every creature on this world, bringing it under controll of the user, but only as long as the user already had been know this creature for long time, and only to the ones who she or him had been kind to it!” candlelight said and I was impressed.

“This is amazing, but does it work?”

“Well , you play the flute while you think about the creature, and when the song reach it, there is no holding again, the creature can´t other but follow the echo of the fluteplay, it will come as soon as possible!” She said and I was in awe.

“I thank you so much for it!” I said as I bowed infront of her.

“You are so much like her!” Candlelight said getting me a bit confused.

“Who do you mean?”

“Your mother of course, she also always had the attitude to bow before everyone, to say thanks!” Candlelight laughed, jumping from the tree.

“Well I think we better keep going, not, after all, we have a mission to accomplish!” She said with fire of passion in her eyes, she sure was a funny person and I can see why my mother liked her much.

“You are right lets go!” I siad, and so we walked further, me in my new poncho and I admit, it was nice to wear him, even then he was a bit, well what to say, too cute, but it was after all made from love by my mother, so I cannot complain, and I feel how the elemental force of the nature begins to fill every inch of it, it added itself to my own force, though I don’t know much spells but Floraya had show me how to manipulate the forest, and how to make such a terrain to your advantage.

“So Fluttershy , now I have some question on you, how is your mother?” Candlelight asked out of the blue.

“She, well , she is , uhmmm, no there anymore!” I said shyly and sad.

“Oh no, don´t tell me she´s,…., you know,….., dead!” Candlelight asked, and I could hear hurt and deep sorrow in her voice, she began to cry as I nodded.

“I´m, so , so sorry, I didn´t mean to rip up old wounds!” She said apologizing to me.

“Oh no, don’t be sorry, you couldn´t know it, but it´s okay, she is now on a better place, up in heaven!” I siad as Iwe laid in one each arms crying, comforting each other.

“I guess, so, did, did she ever mentioned me?” She asked and I thought about it, and I need to say, yes she had mentioned her very often when I was with her.

“Actually yes, mostly in the sentence, `I still remember Candlelight, she often had the tendence to…,´ and so further, but now that I now I also saw a few photos of you and her standing on our comodes, I always thought it were her sister, but now i´seeing that it had been you, but I can say whenever she thought about you, her face brighted up!” I said and she laughed from heart.

“yes that sounds like her!” Candlelight said as she walked a bit infront, suddenly something big came flying in her direction, knocking her out cold.

“CANDLELIGHT!!!”  I screamed in horror, as I saw what happened, I wanted to run to her but, suddenly something big and , awefull got in my way.

“Groaaaar!!!” The thing, looking like an giant predatory bird,  screamed  in such an eardeafing manner that I wanted to run away, but I couldn´t, he still had Candlelight in his power, I cannot run away and leave her here to die, that is unacceptable.

“Who are you and why are you hurting my friend!” I shouted out to the creature.

“I am the guardian of this forest and no one has the right to enter the Hall of Kindness without my allowance, you friend here walked over the entrance without asking, she has to be punished, but you are free to leave!” The Bird said.

“No, the hell I do, this is my friend there, who you knocked out, of course I will not leave without her!” I said as I launched for Candlelight, but a giant tail slapped me very hurtfull in the stomach, sending me flying, for several meters.

“Is that all you can do, you don´t think this will stop me, if you want her you first need to kill me!” I said, weakly standing up and yes, I knew about the consequences of these words, but I will not let her die.

“So be it, if that is your wish!” The bird said, and launched for me, I summoned my wood sword and pepared to attack.

“En guarde!” I screamed as I jumped up on the head of it, but before I managed to land, it catched me in his claw, almost squeenzing me to death, but luckily, the poncho reacted from itself, creating roots around me , which pushed the claw open, so I was able to slip through the claw, thank you mom.

“Prepare yourself!” I screamed as I launched for him, he hold up a claw and beated it in my direction, in the last moment I opened my winds and doged the claw for only a hairs breed, I flew through his legs, and stopped in front of Candlelight.

“Never again you take on my friends!”  I screamed, and yes I maybe entered the hall of  Kindness, though I do not see any kind of hall standing here.

“Now you made the same foalish mistake as your friend, so I will show no mercy to you anymore!” The thing said and it launched again for me, I swung my sword and transformed it into a whip made of a thorn vine.

“Bring it on!” I screamed, and beated the whip, spiced with heavy naturemagic, in his face, it yelped and bolted back, his eyes became deadly red, now I know I made im angry.

“You gonna regrett this , pegasus!” He said with venom and disgust.

“ Like I said bring it on, you ugly exemple of an giant cockatrice!” I shouted, and it pissed him off.

“I am an aerodactyl, how dare you to compare me with such an loser creature  like a cockatrice!” He said sending me a bolt of fire, I cached it with my whip, turned around and sanded it back to him, he simply beat it out of the way , right into a tree.

“Because of you I have injured my homeforest!” He screamed, madly, launching for both of, us  I stand infront of Candlelight, ready to take the blow, wich came with immesurable pain, his claws ipped open my flesh and I was sure this going to end bad.

“You seem to be already out of breath, I really ask myself why you keep doing this to yourself, all the other who ever tried had been cowards who rather run away then fighting for the others, all of them, you see around here, all of those trees , around the hall where ones ponies who had showed me how much of cowards and betrayers they are, all of the runned away, expect of you!” The thing said, and I was in shock, should that mean that the tree he shoot down, had been once a pony.

“So you transformed all the ponies into trees!” I said, I cant belive it, how could he, how could he be so cruel, no one wants to die, no one wants to fight an already lost fight, you can say the one were a coward but there is absolutly no reason why to blame him for, why blaming him, because he loves life, because he didn´t helped his friend, when the other is already half dead, because he runned away when the other told him to do so, because he knew, he has no chance of surviving at all, because the coward maybe has a family, maybe he wants to see his little daughter and his little son again, maybe he wants to live for the one he loves, maybe even to help the dead or transformed ones family.

“WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TRANSFORM PONIES OR TO JUDGE PONIES BY THEIR BEHAVIOUR!” I screamed and I felt how all of my emotion became free, all my rage, all my sorrow for these lost soul, all the pain I felt , for both, Candlelight and me, all of this became unleashed.

“Tell me what do you want, so you let all the ponies go!” I shouted at him, and he laughed.

“Haha, do you really think you can make deals, in your situation, well it´s the first time someone did that, so I will kind, I will tell you what I want, I will take you and transform you into a tree, in return, I will let your friend go, how is that, are you still thinking about making deals!” He asked but I was determined.

“No, thats not how I make deals!” I screamed and he was buff.

“So you are willing to do that deal but the condition don´t suit you, well then let me hear you, how you want the deal!” The Bird said.

“I will give you myself, and the elment of Kindness, one of the Six Elements of Harmony, in return you transform all the ponies you made to trees back and let them leaving this forest together with Candlelight, that is the only deal I make!”.

“Well, I must get a thought to that, the Element of Kindness I have heard about them, it has mighty forces of acient time, it could double my force for sure!” The bird mumured all too loud.

“Okay I gave it a thought and I will make the deal, but before I completely agree I will see the  Element of Harmony!” The bird says.

“I have it here!” I said as I took it out, I showed him the element, he took it in his claw and inspected it closly.

“Alright, the first part of the deal has come from your side, so I will do my part too!” He said, he took a deep breath, and let out such an earpiercing screem, I am sure you can hear it on all the other islands too.

I saw how suddenly how the trees all around me, began to shrink , they loosed their form and took the shape of ponies, and in another blink they all had returned to their usual form.

“What the heck is going on?” Some asked.

“We are back to normal!” Other shouted.

“Yes you are indeed, and you can thank this filly over here, in order to save you all , and her friend, she has made a deal that she gives me a precious treasure and herself fre to use as what I want, all of you who had runned away, cowardly and without second thought, all of you should take yourself an exemple on this filly, who brought up the courage to fight me, to fight for the life of her friend over here, who fighted and made deals for the live of all of you, all of look good at her, thank her one last time, because she has saved you all, all of you are free to go, but always remember, what your freedom has cost to this filly!” The bird said and I must admit, he wasn’t even that scary now, he was more like some kind of teacher now.

“Well then fluttershy, come with me!” He said and I followed him.

“Please, take her with you, and be carefull, okay!” I said to the one who picked up Candlelight, which came back to her senses slowly.

“What is going, wait where am I, wait whats going on here, Fluttershy, let me go, Fluttershy!” She screamed as she saw me walking away with the bird. I tried to block her voice out, I will not regret my decision.

“I´m sorry Floraya, Grandma healleaf, I´m sorry my friends, I´m sorry,…., Mother!” I cried silently.

“Here we are, I have searched an very peacefull and beautiful place for you, such a trophy like you can´t simply put by some other random trees!” He said, as he gently looked at me, seriously , when he was in no bad mood, he actually was really kind.

“Thanks that you let the others free!”

“Hey, I may be a monster or guardian of the hall of kindness, but I do hold my promises, when I one time gave it!” He said, he stroked my mane.

“You are a goo dand very kind filly, Fluttershy, and I am somehow sorry to turn you into an Tree!” He said, but I knew he would do it anyway.

“Its okay, I have done what I can to help the others, I am ready , and to be honest, it always kinda was my dream to be a tree, so peacfull and still growing and even full of life at all.

“ I will make you an beautiful tree, so spread your wings !” He said and I did as told, I spread my wings and I heard him singing some kind of tune.

“Goodbye Fluttershy!” He said gently, as suddenly I felt how my legs became heavier, I looked down on me to see how I turned myself into a tree
.
“Goodbye mister Aerodactyl!” I said and he nuzzled my cheek, he after all also did only his job.

Silence, all I heard after I had become fully a tree was silence, and my mind was blank and my vision not better, I only saw black.

Wait, only, no ther was something, there was a small dot of light infront of me, what was this.

I wanted to look closer but I wasn’t able to.

“Hey you, who are you, what are you doing here, can you come closer?” I asked and it seemed to hear me, because it indeed came closer.

“Who are you, what are you?” I asked until the thing suddenly, sat on my nose, it was a Butterfly, made of Light,….., wait my nose, how do I know it was my nose, better said how do I see that it was my nose.

I looked around to see that I actually wasn’t really a tree anymore, but I was to hal myself again, suddenly a bright light blinded me, I squinted my eyes, until I felt a gentle warm breeze coming from the light, I opened my eyes to be again  greated by an bird, better said , by an Dove this time.

“Bearer of the Element of Kindness, I am the Lightdove Kuronema, and I looked in your heart, I saw the very spirit of kindness and you deserve the name Element of Harmony with every cell of your body, you are the very impersonating of kindness, and even your last act, sacrificing yourself for helping other, and in the end befriend yourself with the enemy, is the purest act of Kidness, I ever had seen, you are more than fit to bear this Fragment of the Angelscore, so you may be able to return it to it´s rightfull owner, you are more than fit to be the bearer of the Light of Kindness!” The Dove said, and suddenly ther was the Butterfly again and , well he seemed to get brighter, as bright as the Light of the dove, it floated into my hoofs, which suddenly turned back to normal, I saw how my whole body turned to normal again, I was free, I looked down only to see how the light faded away and in my hooves, laid the Fragment of light, looking like an quarter piece of an sphere.

“But, wait, you can´t turn me back, what when the guardian sees, he will think I cheated on him, and then he will turn all the ponies back into trees!” I said, but the lightdove only chuckled, this wasn´t funny.

“Calm yourself dear Fluttershy, I am fully aware of what happens here!” The lightdove said, but it had suddenly the voice of the Aerodactyl, who was that possible.

“You, you are the Aerodactyl, but how!” I asked confused and the lightdove chuckled again.

“I am not only the Pet of my Mistress Lumena, but also the Guardian of her force when she is in foaly stadium, so I am logically also the guardian of all the Fragments, I am formless like the light, we legendary Birds only take shape for being able to interact in this world!” She said, and I admit, she was very Beautiful, and she was , giant, in comparsion to normal and regular Birds.

“But what now, I mean what am I doing now?” I asked her.

“Well its up to, you but I just want to tell you that your mentor is still in a fight with a very mightfull person and I think she might, could use some help!” The Lightdove said as she began to rise higher.

“Wait, will I ever see you again!” I asked her, and she nodded.

“That will happen for sure, but now go my little friend, go and help your friends, in order to save this land!” She said.

“I have one last question!” I quickly said.

“You said earlier , that we have entered the Hall of Kindness without any right, but I know that Candlelight and I never entered a temple while walking through the forest?” I asked confused.

“Dearest Fluttershy, as same as the light can change always, it had been never said that the Hall mutst being made of Stone, nor Steel!” She said and so she flew away, I looked after her and then I saw it, over me I could only see Leaves.

“So that is what they meaned!” I muttered as I took my things, means my Flute and my Saddlebag, and oh god no, where is the Element of Kindness.

“Oh no, I have lost it” I said as I began to cry, but suddenly I felt a heat coming from my neck, I looked down and touched it , only to feel somint heavy and forcefull, made of metal.

“Oh gosh, thanks I thought it were lost forever!” I said as I looked into my own mirropicture, in the golden surface, and I must admit, I do look cute with my Poncho.

“Thank you mom!” I said as I flew off, in direction beach, suddenly something illuminated the Sky behind me, I looked and saw how a giant Lightpillar, raised itself skywards, it illuminated the whole island and the clouds over my head began to fade away revealing a starlit heaven, I saw then two other lightpillars.

“I guess that the others must have found also some Fragments, well according to Candlelight there are eight  Islands plus one in the middle, that means that there are still five Fragments to find, I hope we can make it in time!” I said as I flew in direction beach, coming ever so closer, I really ask how it looked downwards by Floraya.

I came closer to the beach, and what I saw , was even more blank horror for me, the forest, had almost being burned to the ground, along the coast almost no tree stood anymore.

“Oh no—o-ooooo!” I screamed as I scurried downwards.

I came down and saw all the fire, all the fallen trees, and dead animals,  and along the beach you could see only fallen trees and destroyed land.

“What has happened here!” I shouted in horror.

I snobbed, and I felt how the tears pushed in my eyes, and I let them fall as they came, I had no need to hold them back,, it was too awefull what had happened here, I felt something touching my flank, I looked down to be greaten by an white bunny, it looked almost like Angel, but that was impossible he cant be here.

“What is it my little!” I asked him after I cried a bit more, the bunny began to hopping away, gesturing me to come with him, together we runned through this sea of flames.

“What do you want to show me!” I asked as the bunny stopped infron of an crater, I saw something lying in, I walked down, and I almost got an heart attack.

“NOOOOOO; FLORAYA!” I screamed as I scurried over to her, I stopped right next to her, I closed my eyes to hear her pulse, it was there but very faint.

“Please don´t die, please don´t, you cant leave here so easy!” I screamed at her as I began to pump, nature magic in her, as much as I could get out of my poncho, but here wasn´t any nature at all anymore, no trees, no grass only fallen  and burned things which used to be trees, now without life, without force, nor magic, no soul anymore.

“Hahahahahahahahaha, do you like what you see little girl!” The voice from earlier said, this voice where I want to vormit right in the face of the pony which it belong.

“What have you done, Miasmaria, you killed almost Floraya!” I screamed at her.

“Only almost, well the plan looked forwadr to completely kill her, once and for all, erase her from a world who don’t need her anyways, I mean she is useless at all!” Miasmaria said , laughing evily.

“You evil Bitch!” I screamed , and she only laughed.

“Well I prefer the term Witch but you almost had it!” She said laughing at me.

“How could you, why have you destroyed the forest, why are you killing other creatures, why are yousuch a damn person!” I screamed/ asking her, while she only laughed and laughed more.

“Because I enjoy it, well now to her, go away girl, I will finish her off!” She said and I jumped in front of floraya with spreaded hooves and wings.

“Only over my dead body!” I siad, and she chuckled.

“If it is your wish!” She said, and created a sword out of darkness, I knew what will come but I had token my decision, I will not move a millimeter.

“Die!” She screamed as she aimed at me, throwing the sword, I closed my eyes and I was prepared I felt how a tear rolled down my cheek, once more.

“Im´s sorry, forgive me Floraya!” I whispered as my last word.

“NOOOOOOOO!” I heard it coming, I felt how Floraya, moved under me.

Nothing, I didn´t felt anything, I tried to open my eyes and surprisingly it worked.

I saw what was infront of me, I saw how Floraya stood infront of me, her eyes glowing, her whole corps is covered by her aura, and it was nothing like the magical force of nature, no this here was somehow, stronger, older, brighter, I could see how she clenched her fist, her eyes in an angry manner.

“NO ONE MAKES FLUTTERSHY CRYING OR ELSE YOU NEED TO MESS WITH ME!” Floraya screamed, and her force exploded, I was blinded by a bright light, I closed my eyes and used echo-vision , but it was completely bright, even the light made any kind of sound.

I then used Auratracking, and what I saw was incredible, I front of me had been now Florayas leaf, but there were no wsomething new, instead of one , there were a completely new leaf, and Floraya´s leaf had transformed into a tree, into a grown tree, and the newest was an addition, there was the strong aura of something completely other, it felt like the aura I have seen around Floraya, it looked like it had a form of something winged.

I opened my eyes and I was in awe, right infront of me stood a dragon, but no dragon that I ever had saw before, no this dragon, here was even five times so huge, than the one who once almost smoke Ponyville completely in, the one who had rested on an mountain near ponyville, instead in Dragon´s mountain, where the land of the dragons shall supposed to be, I was in my life only one time there, no this here was giantic, it was green, it has eyes in the colour of Floraya´s eyes, it scales are giantic too, and it spikes were looking strong, damn it  looked awesome, and I admit, I felt a little bit safer with it infront.
The Dragon was green, with Brown, stomach-scales like Floraya, wait, like Floraya,…., I cheked it´s aura and the shock almost got no end.

“Flo-Flo-Floraya?” I asked fearfully, her eye looked in the corner, I almost fainted.

“How is that possible!” Miasmaria asked, backing away with shocked and giant tennisball eyes.

“Must be the Emotion and the love I held in for my belowed great granddaughter, making her crying and wanting to kill her is unacceptable!” Floraya´s voice, thousand times the volume of her normal, echoed over the whole Island.

This can´t be possible, you use some kind of illusion on me, admit it!” Miasmaria, screamed in fear, yes she was terrified to be honest, she tried to run away but giant roots crashed out of the ground catching her , and blocking every attempt to flee, the roots became thick thorn vines, creating an Arena, around the crater.

“Fluttershy, would you like to ride on me, together we gonna make her pay for what  she did to the nature!” Floraya said, and I nodded, I flew upwards and sat myself on her neck.

“I´m ready when you are!” I said, clutching on one of her spikes.

“Stay away from me!” Miasmaria, screamed as she runned around always away from us, in a full gallop, while it seemed that Floraya and me had real fun to actually hunt her.

“Why so afraid Miasmaria, wasn´t that what you always wanted, to fight against me, since I killed the thing you assume to be your mother!” Floraya laughed as she runned followed her, Miasmaria sure was fast.

“You will regret that, next time I will be not so easy to beat!” She said as she vanished intot he shadows, I closed my eyes and began to use Auratracking, and surprisingly , I managed to scan the whole Island at once, and I could say she do had vanished from the Island.

“She leaved the Island, Floraya, everything is alright, but tell me where are all the others , and are we able to again bloom up this forest`” I aske her.

“The others are save, I had sanded them further away from me and Miasmaria, as for the forest, I think I do can make something, but unfortunalety can´t I revieve the poor and fallen animals anymore, without creating them as something dark and uncontrollably, at least not that I know!” Floraya said, and I felt sorrow for the poor animals.

“Will you help me doing it!” Floraya asked, and I nodded, at least this we can do.

“Okay first we need to stop the flames, so let us go search some water!”

“Alright!” I said with the fire of determination in my eyes.

“Okay, Fluttershy I will , that you create a pump station out of wood!” Floraya said, and I looked at her crazy.

“Ah what, a pumpstation, Flora by all respect, but I am way not able to use such kind of magic!” I protested but she lays a finger on my mane, ruffling it gently.

“Nothing is impossible, and well its actually not really magic at all, but you can say its more, structur- and molecular manipulation!” Flora said and I looked at her with big doubt.

“You are sure that I am able to do that!” I asked her, doubting myself.

“My dear Fluttershy, I would be more than surprised if you don’t would be able to do so!” Flora said holding my Chin up with a claw.

“oh okay!”I said shyly, I turned around and searched for an tree, I found one who stood a bit alone and decided to use him, I concentrated, I thought about how a pumpstation looked, I thought about how it fonctunated and how the noise of it was, soon I could hear exactly what I just imagine, I looked in awe as I saw that I actually really managed to shange the shape of an entire tree, I looked at myself as I felt something tickling me, I saw how green aura floated around me, how I was illuminated by it, making me kind of an lightningbug.

“Wow, I did, it, I did it, FLORAYA I DID IT!” I screamed out of joy.

“Very good my beloved Fluttershy, now we only need to make it huger so it has the abillity to let it rain over the whole Island!” Flora said and walked to the tree.

“Now come, her and put your hooves on the staff!” Floraya said and I did as told.

“Now, you feel the material of what it is, can you feel the structur of the trees inside?” Flora asked me, and I sharpened my senses.

“I felt the aura of nature in the tree, I felt how the water runned through its veins, I raced through the cores inner self, as soon as I closed my eyes.

“Yes I can see it clearly in front of my eyes!” I said to Flora.

Very good, now I want you to equally grow the tree, in height as well as in the deep, I want you to grow the tree, in every kind you can, manipulate the structure of it.

“I will do so!” I replied, I concentrated my force on the tree, I thought the wish to make it bigger, to help erasing the fire, the mother nature must have heard me, because as soon as I thought this, the woodpillar enlarged itself, I saw how the veines in his innerself became bigger, how more veins created themselves, I felt how the roots digged further downwards into the ground , ever further until they reached an undergroundlake, breaking through the walls, I felt how the pillar I had my hooves on, enlargened in its volume, becoming much thicker, I  saw how all the veins connected to one giant room inside the tree, filling it with water.

“Alright, this is enough!” Flora said, and I woke up out of my trance, only to step back to inspect this monster of a tree I created, the tiny tree from earlier, had become an Mammuthtree, in form of an pumpstation,  on its crown, I had made holes fro the water, while the treecrown enlarged over the whole Island, I only managed to say one more word before I fall asleep, because of exhaustion.

“Impressive!” I said.

Floraya´s Pov:

“That is impressive indeed dear Fluttershy!” I said, due to the fact that she was unconsious she didn´t felt how my body shrunk, shifting over in my normal state.

“Its very impressive, our emotion and our trust and familiar as well as natural love for each other , has not only woken the Earthquakecore but also doubled her power, I am more than proud of your progress my faithful student, you will get one day a very strong shaman!” I said, kissing her forehead like a mother would do, she was so much like Roselake
.
“Fluttershy Dryade, I wonder if you will be able to overrun my own daughter!” I chuckled, as I began to use my magical force to regrow the entire forest and to burry the fallen ones, giving them the last honor.

“Well the island is save, I think its time to meet the others!” I thought, as I spread my wings, and flew up in the sky.
It didn’t last long until I was there.

“Mistress Floraya!” Healleaf said as I floated down to the ground, with Fluttershy sleeping on my back.

“Healleaf, how is the situation!” I asked her.

“Not much changed, we are save here, and I see you found Fluttershy!” she said, as she took the sleeping little filly with help of some others down from my back.

“Fluttershy!” I heard it coming from behind, I looked to see a mare coming up to us, somehow I know that I had seen her before.

“Candlelight!” ah yeah, Candlelight, the friend of Forestsong, Fluttershy´s mother.

“She is alright, only some minor cuts had been on her!” Healleaf said and I saw how Candlelight sighed in relieve.

“I thought it were to end with her, she terrified me as she said she would take the burden of being turned into a tree to save our all live!” She said and I looked at my little pony, she clutched the Fragment of Light like a teddybear, well after all it was the Light of Kindness, suitable for the bearer of Kindness.

“Like Kuronema, said, no one is more fit to be the bearer than you!” I whispered to her.

“Thank you , Lightdove Kuronema, may we see each other soon!” I said up in the sky, getting strange looks from the others.
“We will see each other for sure, Lady Floraya, it will be a fun again!” The voice of the light said and I saw how an bird so bright, flew away in the distance, definitely on a new Island to prove our friends.

“Yeah, funny it will be indeed!” I chuckled as I joined the other for an meal.
