CHAPTER 2: 


Into The Forest


After the group got ready, they all met at the entrance. “Are you all ready?” Pinks asked. 
“Of course, we are, silly,” Pinkie said as cheerful as ever. 
“Hey Peace, do you think we’ll see Leafy Lily?” Pinks asked. 
“Sure well of course, all I have to do is whistle a tone and she’ll appear on my shoulder,” Peace said happily. 
“Who’s Leafy Lily?” Fluttershy asked. 
“Well Leafy Lily is Peace’s nature dragon spirit,” Marshdog said. 
“What’s a ‘nature’ dragon spirit?” Rarity asked. 
“Well we all have dragon spirit, and a dragon spirit happens when a dragon puts their spirit into a child they think represent that dragon and its spirit,” Peace answered happily. 
“How many dragons and dragon spirits are there?” Applejack asked. 
“Well there are thirteen dragons, but only twelve dragon spirits,” Marshdog answered. 
“Why are there thirteen dragon and only twelve dragon spirits?” Rainbow asked. 
“There are twelve dragon spirits because one of the dragons is a dark type and his name is Darkcurse,” Pinks said. 
“Okay, which ones do you have?” Twilight asked. 
“I have three dragons, Icy Snow the ice dragon, Turbo Flame the fire dragon and Earthquake the earth dragon,” Pinks said proudly. 
“I have four dragons, Daystorm the day dragon, Wind Tornado the wind dragon, Energy Beam the energy dragon and Light Razor the light dragon,” Marshdog answered. 
“I have five dragons, Leafy Lily the nature dragon, River Tide the water dragon, Bolt Striker the electric dragon, Animal Changer the animal dragon and Stargazer the night dragon,” Peace said happily. 
“Okay,” Twilight said before she walked into Peace. 
“Are you only, darling?” Rarity asked. 
“Blue Shadow?!” Peace said before turning into a cheetah and running into the forest. 
“Did she just?” Rainbow asked. 
“Did she just turn into a cheetah and run into the forest? Yes, yes she did,” Marshdog said calmly. 
“She said ‘Blue Shadow,’ Marshdog we have to catch up to her,” Pinks said. 
“Why?” Rarity asked. 
“It’s because Blue Shadow is an Animal Guardian and she doesn't come down here very much,” Pinks said as she ran into the forest. 
“Come on,” Marshdog said before running after Pinks. 
“I’m going to freeze the floor, so all we have to do is slide on it,” Pinks said before freezing the floor. 
“Yay!” Pinkie said as she slid on the frozen floor.
“Blue Shadow?” Peace said as she was looking in the forest. 
“Peace, it’s good to see you again,” a blue and black wolf said as she hugged Peace. 
“What are you doing here?” Peace asked.
“Well, I’m here because I’m watching my son, Blue Paw,” Blue Shadow said happily. 
“Did you want me to take care of him for you?” Peace asked. 
“Well that’s why I called you,” Shadow said. 
“Okay Shadow, I’ll take great care of Blue Paw for you,” Peace said happily. 
“Great, you should visit sometimes,” Shadow said. “I will,” Peace said.
“Okay, bye Peace, bye Blue Paw remember, you have to be very nice to Peace,” Shadow said as she nuzzled Blue Paw. 
“I will, bye,” Blue Paw said as he gave his mommy a kiss. 
“Bye,” Shadow said as she left. “Hi Blue Paw, I’m Peace, your mommy’s my Animal Guardian,” Peace said cheerfully. 
“Hi Peace, you’re mommy’s guardian, wow,” Blue Paw said with excitement. 
“Yup,” Peace said. “So, you’re going to take care of me?” Blue Paw said as he wagged his tail.
“Of course, now let’s go find the others,” Peace said. 
“Others?” Blue Paw asked.
“Yeah, my sister, robotic dog and our six new friends,” Peace explained. 
“Oh,” Blue Paw said.
“Peace?” Pinks yelled. 
“That’s them,” Peace said to Blue Paw. 
“There you are,” Twilight said when she saw Peace.
“Peace, what did Shadow tell you?” Pinks asked when the group was all there. 
“Well, Shadow wanted me to take care of her son Blue Paw,” Peace said and gave the Red Husky puppy an assuring smile.
“Hi, I’m Blue Paw, but you can call me Blue,” Blue said happily. 
“He’s so cute!” Fluttershy said happily. 
“I’m going to call Leafy Lily, so she can tell us how to go to the icy mountains,” Peace said. 
“Sure,” Marshdog said. Peace whistled a little tune and a medium sized dragon appeared on Peace’s shoulder.
