Chapter 5
By RC
“As my brother said we are not your everyday ponies. We are the ones that are hated. My brother rain is a master of music flight and illusions, dragon is a master of fire magic and his immense strength, I am a master of magic and tactic.” Shade started while her brothers conversed in the background about whether or not to ask for a pardon of peace for their old village.
Shining was wondering something, if they were royal guards than they knew of the changeling threat and still fought their for there liege, “so are you for or against us in our quest to bring peace to our fair country?” they responded “As one we wish for our kind to live with ponies as though they are brothers and sister rather that the make of nightmares we are thought of as.”
This response calmed shining’s concerns but raised some for cadence, “what do you mean ‘the make of nightmares’? Don’t the ponies of equestrian think of you as if you are just a different breed of pony?” sighing dragon responded in his gruff voice “No. they think we were made by nightmare moon to destroy their peace and kill them in their sleep. No we only want to live in peace and have a place to return to without fear of destruction of our kind.” His eyes glazed over and he began to mumble to himself.
“This is our life, a life of deception and secrets. No one can know of our reality and no one can know of our secrets.” Shining than became DJ pon3 again and she said “So you have the most Rad capabilitys and abilitys yet ya hid’em from the stallion. Yall got the goods to take out the competition yet yalls hidin em fer fear of yer life. Ya got 2 royals on yer side and the princesses know most all and are kind. We will stand by you for everything and defend you with the need to live.” She went back to shining and he said “vinyl’s right. Well stand by you no matter what. We are your friends we don’t have an opinion of you. Well always side with you and we will always keep you with our thoughts.”
As shining said this dragon, shade, and RC came to realize something: they had friends and hope to live with a new family. Then out of nowhere a cloud of smoke appeared before cadence and a scroll fell out of it. Cadence picked it up and began to read. “Uh oh” she said as shining came up beside her. “What” he asked. The next words out of cadences mouth shocked the total of the group there.
“The crystal empire is back with its tyrant king.” said cadence.
