Shackled Heart of Ice
Chapter 1: Blue Nights and Tea
My first fan fiction! hope you enjoy! R&R!
The six elements is a chain of emotions, a group that was formed through the power of friendship. They overcame the worst forms of power, fear, and chaos (the irony.) by sticking together, facing challenges with the power. Though is that all the elements? Well, if it managed to defeat Nightmare Moon, Sunset Shimmer, Queen Chrysalis, and the ancient god of chaos, Discord, wouldn't it have been unstoppable?
Sadly, it is flawed. The elements needed, a little, kick. Something to boost the powers of the elements even further than Celestia ever imagined.
After Discord managed to escape once, Celestia and Luna went in search of a hidden element. A secret entity that could finally seal the Elements of Harmony. Though neither of them expected it to be jagged, so full if pain, and a cold past with a dead heart. The heart that would destroy Equestria with no mercy, and one, who sadly, has no friends...

Gah,....why does everything hurt? I feel like I got rammed by a bull...
A pony was asleep in the dark of night, unaware of his surroundings. He cringed, a sharp pain in his side. He looked around groggily, trying to focus his vision, a minor headache bothering him. He looked up to see he was in clearing, trees surrounding a circle, in which the moonlight shone dimly into. He tried getting up, falling back down in pain. He looked to his side to see a large burn. He got up painfully.
A forest? I don’t remember getting here... actually, I’ve don’t remember anything. Who...
Who am I?
He looked at himself. He stood on all fours, covered in rosy fur, and hooves on all legs. Looking on his back, he saw part of a mane and tail, which were orange with stripes of yellow through them. He also noticed he had a large pair of wings (well, he thought they were large, he wasn’t sure if they were small or not.) under...feather? Fur? Was coloured orange, matching his mane and tail.
Ok, I seem to be... Equine? Some kind of horse at least...A Pegasus?
Under him, was a small impact in the dirt under him, as if he crashed into the ground. He gulped, thinking of what could have caused him to fall and loose his memory.
“You...” He twirled around to see a pony. It had deep, blue fur, with a sky blue ruffled mane, and a large blue horn. He had glowing green eyes which seemed to shimmer in the moonlight. He stood looking furious, staring at the Pegasus full of rage.
Well, he looks rather friendly... He gulped, getting into a defensive stance.
“You...you bloody nutjob...” He said, walking over a little uneasy. He appeared to wobble on some steps, and a large cut leaking blood on his side, and a large bruise on his neck. “Why, Roman? Why, did you have to....Gah!” The blue pony yelled, almost falling over in fatigue.
“Sir, I’m sorry, but I don’t know who Roman is. I actually don’t know who I am...” The red pony said, looking in concern “Do you need help?”
The Blue pony looked up in surprised, its tortious eyes piercing the Pegasus. “You really don’t know what happened, do you Roman? The empire? Do you really...” The blue pony looked himself over, noting his cuts and bruises. “You forgot? No... We have to get back...” He wobbled over to a direction. “That way...is...the...town...”
The pony fell to his side, gasping a bit. “Look.... for help. Will you Roman?” He said, before fainting. The pony looked in shock, staring at the collapsed colt in front of him.
My name... is Roman? Who is this? And, back to what? The pony snapped back to pace, and tried lifting the unicorn. He seemed to be stronger than he expected, lifting the pony onto his back with some effort.
Well for no memory, I’m finding moving around rather easy.
He started on, walking around trees and logs, heading in the direction the blue pony pointed. Occasionally Roman would check him to see if he was ok. Roman knew he was probably the best chance of knowing who he is. Or was.
He saw lights in the distance, and started speeding up. Well, as long as someone helps, I don’t really care who. Well, unless it was a serial killer or something. Then it gets dead serious. He thought, walking towards the lights. Roman walked up a hill to get a view of the city.
Most of the town in view was cottages, wooden with hay-like roofs, and some larger buildings that were most likely important. Towards the back of the city (Well, from Roman’s view) was an orchard, with a red barn. In the middle of town was a rather large tree, with windows and a door... wait, windows? somepony lives in that? Roman thought to himself, shaking his head.
Well, a LOT of things doesn’t make sense right now... the light Roman saw was coming from a small cottage near the edge of the forest. Roman trotted up to the cottage, finding it easier to walk, yet having a full-grown colt on your back proves a bit stressful.
He arrived at the front door and knocked. No sound came from the cottage. He looked through the window to see an empty house with a light on, a blanket and book thrown on the floor, near the couch.
Ok... that’s weird. Roman thought, flustered to see no one home. He knocked again, formal this time. There was a faint creak, then a whisper. “Who...who’s there?” a feminine voice whispered, barely audible. “I have somepony who is unconscious.”
“SOMEPONY’S HURT!?!” The door burst open, startling Roman, “AH!” Roman shouted, dropping the blue pony. “Oh... sorry...” the Pegasus stepped back. Roman picked the unicorn back up, moving him inside.
“It’s ok; we just need him to be well rested.” Roman laid him on the sofa, looking over to the female pegasus. She had a yellow coat, with long, curled pink hair, which covered one of her eyes. She had wings, which were folded down, and a tail which matched her mane. On her flank had three butterflies, which looked engraved, almost like a picture. She dashed to a cupboard and pulled out a pitcher, running to the kitchen to fill it.
Roman tried waking the blue unicorn, which succeeded with nothing except him mumbling “cold....so cold...” shuddering every now and then.
“Would you like me to get you something? Maybe some tea...if it’s ok... with you....” she hid behind her mane, almost as if she was offending Roman. Roman gulped, feeling guilty.
“Oh no! Tea is fine, perfectly fine” he looked at her awkwardly “sorry, I didn’t catch your name” She blushed, hiding her whole face with her mane “It’s... Fluttershy...” she put a wet cloth on the unicorn, checking his temperature.
Fluttershy? What kind of name is Fluttershy? Ok, let’s play it safe...
“I’m Roman” doing his best to look courteous, bowing a bit “and I found him in the forest” he searched for something simple, an excuse to cover the fact he only knew about half an hour of crazy forest which had a somewhat spooky soundtrack in the background, a peculiar blue unicorn, and the final fact that that he only have a name as an identity.
“I’m not from here....I’m visiting a relative!” Roman half shouted, startling Fluttershy a little. “Ok...” Fluttershy poured some tea for Roman.
“Do you have a place to stay for the night?” Fluttershy asked sheepishly. “Umm....no. I was hoping I can stay for the night, in case you have your hands full with....” looking over to the unicorn again “whatever you want to call this”.
“Oh no, no, no. It’s not a problem, I have a bed upstairs. I’ll take him up there and you can take the couch?” Roman nodded, lifting the unicorn onto his back. He went upstairs and laid him on the bed. He went back down at sat opposite to Fluttershy on a chair, a little awkwardly.
"Well, hope you enjoy the tea...” she looked around, trying to get somewhere, preferably alone. “Well, I’ll be off to bed...bye!” Fluttershy zoomed upstairs and closed the door.
“Ok...just a little odd, maybe a bit weird, wait, when hasn't this day been strange?” Roman talked to himself, laying on the sofa and yawning.
“Let’s hope tomorrow is a bit less hectic...” ______________________________________________________________________________
