//------------------------------// // Chapter 12: Forgiveness // Story: The Tales Of Spike - Neverland // by Spyro_Story //------------------------------// *Tiger Lily's Story Tell* Many years ago. There was a young stallion who never want to grow up, raised by the fairies and chose to be Neverland greatest protector from the pirates dogs who attempt to claim this world for themselves. They've named him Peter Pan. In order to protect this world, the fairies give him a magical dust to fly without wings he never needed and the tribal taught him the ways of the swordsmanship, it only took him sometime to mastered it until he did. Though he didn't want to do this alone, so he bring out his worthy companions The Lost Colts. Many years, they protected everyone and everything, big and small. And many years, they fought against pirates dogs and they've won. Especially when Peter Pan defeated his arch nemesis Captain Hook, even when he being a child, mocking and humiliated Hook all the times. The Neverland went peaceful thanks to him. The natives, the lost colts, the fairies, and I looking up to him as a hero, and legend never truly die. But the legend never lasted, when all things about to change. Captain Hook discovered a way to become much more powerful than Peter Pan himself, 'the Neverstar'. Legend says the Neverstar has the power of the Fairy Queen Herself who ever wielded. Its location lives to the two peek mountains far away, all he needed is a guide and he know just one. When Peter Pan heard the pirate dogs were their at the mountain, he made his way over their, but he is too late be on time when the pirate dogs got here first and held me hostage. Captain Hook demanded him to surrender and kneel before him. Peter Pan had no choice but to do what he said in order to save me. By the time Captain Hook forced him to surrender, he now about to claim Neverstar by his own hand. But suddenly, Peter Pan couldn't let anything happen if Captain Hook get his hands on it. So he no choice to destroy it. Peter Pan flew fast and I have witnessed. In the end, he destroyed the Neverstar in four remain and..... it happens. *BOOM* When I woke up, I only see is dust everywhere falling down. I try to look for him, but all I found is the Neverstar shard..... He die because of me and I forever blamed myself for that day. *Story Tell End* Tiger Lily finished the rest of her story to Spike. A baby dragon completely understanding how she feels, almost letting out his tears, but she not the only one who is sad. "Tiger Lily, I... I don't what to say, I'm sorry." He Apologized while he placed his hand on her shoulder. "You shouldn't be, it is my fault for what I've done." Tiger Lily said. "Princess, it doesn't matter what you've done, you have to forgive yourself." Fox said. "I wish it was easy." She said while look away from him. Everyone went quiet until Spike rise up give them a speech. "Listen, I may not know or met him, but does he ever want you all to be sad." He said and the others admittedly agree for what he say. "It's true he's gone, but that doesn't mean he die for nothing. He did save Neverland multiple times, now our turn to return the favor." Spike finished with his speech, and everyone happily agreeing with a baby dragon, almost everyone because Tiger Lily when she's thinking about it. *Couple Minutes Later* Everyone is preparing to rest for the next day for Tiger Lily, Spike, and Sparx continuing their quest to obtain the third shard before it's too late when the pirate dogs do. Everyone is asleep, except for Tiger Lily who couldn't sleep because she wasn't tired yet. She decide to headed outside to clear her head for while, making sure she doesn't wake them up. By the time she got out the door, Tiger Lily was looking up to the night sky,remembering the time when she first met Peter Pan for a very long time. For a while she looked down and thinking of what Spike said about back then, so she accepted to forgiving herself when she placed her hoof to her heart and looking back up the night sky. *In The Morning* Everyone is outside, ready to departed for their mission. Tiger Lily the lost colts to head to her tribe to keep them safe, so they nodded to her. "Alright, I wish you all with best of luck." She said to them. "You too princess." Fox said and then he look to a baby dragon. "Spike, you better promise nothing happens to Tiger Lily, got it?" "I will." Spike promised with a thumb up. They now departed while everyone waving each other when they go on different ways. Tiger Lily, Spike, and Sparx now continuing headed to the Fairy Forest to obtain the third shard. Before that, Tiger Lily wanted to say to a baby dragon. "Spike, I wanted to say, thank you for making me feel like I'm myself again." She said. "Um... you're welcome." Spike said confusion but he has to go with it. "Hey Tiger Lily, can you tell us more about him, if you don't want to that's okay." Tiger Lily didn't want to, but she has to tell Spike and Sparx about Peter Pan more, so she nodded. "Alright I'll tell you both." Tiger said while they still traveling. "When I first met Peter, I thought of him as a playful child. But by the time I get to know him, he became my friend." "That amazing." Spike said. "I'm happy you have more than one friend. Twilight once said 'friendship is the powerful to anypony'." "Thank you." She said with a smile. While they traveled, they believed they're almost there to the Fairy Forest for the third shard and then the final quest to the fourth shard once and for all. _________________________________________________ **Equestria, Ponyville** At Twilight's castle, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were hanging out together, waiting patiently in the hallway for Twilight to let them in.
