//------------------------------// // The meeting // Story: Harmony siblings // by Rub3r0n //------------------------------// "Oh, come ooooon..." Talked back the draconequus. "You really need a name, a specific name, I mean. You know that I always like chaos and confusion and if you're thinking it, you're right, don't having a name could cause that kind of situations. But, it is very uncomfortable having to call you "the spirit/tree of harmony". Besides, your actual nickname is really charming in my opinion." The spirit of harmony (sorry, I said it was uncomfortable) Harmy sighed, "I appreciate your tips, but as the last 16 times, I still think it's unnecesary for my current state, I don't feel the need for a name and none of the creatures I have communucated with express that feeling neither." "Yes, that's true, buuuuuuuuuut....." Discord exclaimed. "It would be really useful for your future state, am I right?" Th...ttt Harmy raised an eyebrow, looking at Discord with suspicion. "Soo,...have you been spying me? Why? "Wh-What, me? Oh, harmy... how would I, the personification of chaos, your conceptual antithesis, spy you?" Answered Discord pretending surprise. "I was just searchibg for some poison joke for a joke to Rainbow Dash when I heard ConVeNientLy the little conversation about your future plans." Harmy ,(good work, you did it at first) ... (shut up) ... Harmy closed the eyes and looked down. "Ha ha, good one Discord. Veery convenient," said the spirit with a little smile on the face. At this moment the amorphous mass of mixed creatures all together got surprised. "Wait...you laughed, you actually laughed! Ha, that's new! Ok, I like that. "Yeah, well, but look, maybe you're right, making social bounds usually requires a name," Answered Harmy. "Of course I'm right! I do have more experience in this whole friendship theme than you after all," Discord shouted. Harmy smiled, nodding to Discords reasoning. "That's true, but I got used to it a lot more faster than you," answering to Discord and showing him the tongue, as a derision. The draconequus gasped. "How do you dare?! Are you trying to say you're better than ME in something?!" Meanwhile ge said those words, a lot of stained glasses appeared, showing feats that Discord didn't. At this point Harmy raised an eyebrow towards her friend. "Okay, maybe in something, but do not underestimate my capacities, dear friend," said Discord. "I sure surprise you..." "I do not do that Discord," answered Harmy. "You have incredible powers and an extracagant charisma." "Huh, I already know that, but also thank you," exclaimed the spirit of chaos. "Well, I think it is the time for me to go, tomorrow I have a tea party with Fluttershy, but here you have, a present, for this nice chat," in that moment Discord putted a singular blue flower on Harmy's head, then he snapped his fingers and disappeared with a: "until next time!!!" The spirit looked at the flower and instantly recognized the poison joke. "You know this doesn't affect me, right?" Shouted the spirit to the air. "Ohhh come oooon!!!" A distant voice was heard all over the forest, complaining. The reaction of the personification of harmony was shaking the head, sympathizing with Discord, it stopped very soon. "Sniff, sniff. What's that smell?" When the spirit looked again at the treehouse, it got exetremely shocked and angry. "Gasp. DISCOOOORD !!!!!!! " Harmy screamed while seeing all its corporal body (the treehouse) covered with poison joke. In the distance, a laughter resounded. ————————————————————— It was a good day in Canterlot, the sun was shining, the citizens were doing their dairy tasks and so was the princess of friendship, now monarch of all Equestria, Twilight Sparkle. She just had a reunion with some nobles and now the purple alicorn was heading towards more royal duties. The usual days were exhausting because of all the paperwork, but still things were good, specially after Canterlot recovered from the fight with the knights of harmony, even now with their story a bit clearer, Twilight had so many questions. Maybe she should try to communucate with Cunabula? After all, now Equestria has even more allies around the world and she wanted the peace with everyone. But that thoughts should wait, because now Twilight was going to enjoy the little freetime she has. The princess was resting in her room peacefully, reading a book, when an intense light appeared in the centre of the room. "What the-" Twilight was interrupted before ending the sentence by a sparkling version of herself. " Greetings, element of Magic ." "Wha...who ar-," Twilight at first was very confused, but quickly she concentrated and began asking. "Who are you? Are you a changeling? Do you think this is funny?" Asked Twilight, vexed. "Wait, no, changelings can't teleport and why are you sparkling?" Then, the sparkling Twilight answered. "You already know me and I know you, but we did never introduce ourselves to each other since I got conscious." Twilight was extremely confused right now, what was this pony talking about? And why did she have her face? "I will answer your doubts quickly. What you see is an astral avatar which helps me to communicate with the material beings. My conscience resides in my true phisical form, the known as tree of harmony , as I grew, so did my powers, this growth eventually gave me sentience and an own mind. I chose this form, yours, to present myself to others because you are the most important representative of friendship right now, you worked so hard to expand harmony all across the world, so I decided to take this appearance as a show of respect." "What?" It was the only thing Twilight could say in that moment. After thinking a bit more she asked: " Okay, so you're telling me that you are the tree of harmony, how can I believe you?" "I can show you proof," answered the spirit. Then the scene in Twilight's mind was someting like this: Psychedelic astral travel for Twilight's mind like Dr.Stranges and indescriptible incredible images passing through the princess eyes in seconds. "Do you believe me now?" Heard the alicorn. "Yes. Yes, I do. This...This is...THIS IS INCREDIBLE!" Shouted Twilight. "I have so many questions for you right now, Oh, but I have a lot of princess work to do too and my breaks aren't that long." "That wouldn't be a problem, I can make time daster for us, so we can talk without worrys," explained the spirit, calming Twilight. "Oh, I really thank you...Sorry, have you any preference for names or I just call you...tree?" Asked the princess. "You know, I had a conversation about this with a friend earlier...mhm...You can call me Harmony," explained Harmony. Twilight didn't wait to begin asking, several questions were made, everyone was answered with the typical monotone tone of the spirit. Twilight appreciated a lot this moment of learning about one of Equestria's most importants habitants and she told Harmony some of her latest friends adventures too. "It's incredible! Even when Sombra destroyed you, you could come back thanks to the power of friendship," said the alicorn excited. "That's true and another proof of the importancy and power of true friendship," explained Harmony. "You know...I really want to thank you...for, well, everything you've done for Equestria, Everfree forest would be a greater menace without you, not mentioning all the times you helped us to deal with the villains." "It's nothing. Plus, I don't really think I deserve this gratitude." "What?!" Twilight exclaimed. "Of course you do, Equestria wouldn't be the same without you." "Thank you, but even if I was planted by the pillars more than a thousand years ago, I have memories from only the two last years, I know what I did and my impact in the world, but I don't feel like I did it," expressed Harmony. "Don't worry about that, believe me, you deserve the gratitude," Twilight comforted her. "Now it's your turn, I already did a lot of questions and I'm sure you came here not just for answer me some doubts." Harmony knew this moment was going to come, it's why she went there, so she couldn't explain herself why she was feeling so...insecure, not prepared, anyway, she asked. "Right. I came here with another purpose, Gallus and the others explained me about the recent incident with this "knights of harmony" and the existence of other trees, so I was wondering if you could give me more information," requested Harmony. Of course, Twilight accepted happily. "I will pleasently. When I got the crown I decided to expand Equestria's allies, so I sent my friends to different lands to entablish diplomatic relationships. Then the groups found in each land a tree of harmony with a set of elements, after an incident in Ornithia the knights came to attack Canterlot, but everything ended good. I have understood that each tree represents a social bond. In Caninia, there's the tree of family, in Abyssimia the tree of purpose, the tree of history is in a Farasi's desert and in Ornithia, there's the tree of love. That would make you the tree of friendship and...it's probably that in Cunabula they have another one." Harmony heard with great attention to Twilight's explanation, then they said goodbye and the tree of harmony of friendship decided to manifest her avatar first in the kingdom of Caninia.
