The group was eating the food from the table to settle their hungry stomachs. Rainbow dash and Applejack were drinking cider like there was no tomorrow, Rarity was eating a small salad full of carrots, radishes, and lettuce, Twilight was eating a hay sandwich, while Fluttershy was munching on some fruit and watching Pinkie devouring the sugary sweets. Spike at his gemstones silently but with a smile as he saw his companions eating. Valkyrie waited a few minutes before she started her story. Once she saw that everypony and dragon had their full attention she started speaking. "Long time ago, long before the rule of your princesses. When dragons have passed their souls would just drift around with no place to be, no place to rest. One day a powerful dragon and several overs equal to the his strength used their magic to create the place where you stand. It is called The Grave. I know its a bad name but whatever back to the story. The Grave allowed the souls to rest peacefully. Over the years it became ruled by the Grave King also known as Seth and he also made it so that this is where all dragon souls begin and end.. " She paused looking at the tapestry.
"So this place is called The Grave its interesting." Twilight said.
"My soul started here?" Spike said as he put his claw by his heart.
Valkyrie nods. "Yes even my own started here as well but we have no memory of it"
"So y'all are telling me that dragons created this place with magic." Applejack said.
"Yes all creatures have a special kind of magic in them." The bronze dragon said.
Spike nods and holds the white crystal on his necklace out. "Of course they do,remember Sarah made this crystal turn white with her magic."
"He is correct Applejack." Fluttershy replied quietly.
"I just find it hard to believe thats all." The earth pony said.
"Thats okay. Most pony folk have trouble believing what a dragon tells them since they think most of us are monsters but we aren't." Valkyrie said.
Rarity nods. "Of course not all of you are monster. Some may be bullies like a group of teenage dragons who tried to steal phoenix eggs or the greedy dragon that Fluttershy had to use the stare on but you, Spike and Sarah are wonderful."
Twilight smiles as she remembers something she had read in one of Sarah's journals. "Valkyrie I do have a question if you don't mind me asking. While I was reading Sarah's journals I found an entry about strange dreams she was having involving a frozen pool and frozen land where she kept hearing the words unborn and snow. I know that dragons are hatched and not born but its strange how she heard those words in her dream. Do you know anything about that?"
The dragon nodded slowly taking a few minutes to gather her thoughts to answer the young alicorn's question. "The answer to your question Twilight is that Sarah was never suppose to be hatched some souls are just suppose to remain here with the king. She has memories playing in her dreams out this place. Snow might be the name the king has given her, he does that with a few of the souls that stay here."
"She had to stay here? Where there is no parties that is just awful." Pinkie pie whined.
Rarity nods. "Awful indeed."
"So lame." Rainbow dash said sipping a mug of cider.
Spike looked at the crystal. "Your name was Snow? Thats pretty its just like your scales after Sombra's magic had stop running through you."
Fluttershy smiled thinking how nice the name was. "Sarah Snow is a lovely name."
Spike chuckled. "Thats prefect Fluttershy. While I am Spike the dragon, she is Sarah Snow. Its perfect." He turned to Valkyrie. "Can we keep going now. I wanna see Sarah."
The bronze dragon looked at the ponies. "Are you ready to leave. You have five challenges left to face and I can not guarantee the next time you will have a chance to eat so perhaps you should save some for later."
Pinkie pie was already ahead of her as she was filling her bag up with cupcakes, cakes, fruit and whatever else she can fit. She gave the dragon a salute.
Rainbow dash was trying to fit a barrel of cider in her bag but was having trouble. "Come on Pinkie pie can have all the food she wants in her bag but I can't have one barrel of cider. " She hugs the barrel. "Oh sweet sweet cider, I want you so bad."
Rarity chuckles. "Rainbow dash darling its just cider. You can get more later."
"But its cider!" Rainbow replied to her friend.
Twilight watches her friends get ready and goes over to Spike. "How are you feeling Spike with hearing everything."
Spike shrugs. "Not sure but knowing that Sarah wasn't meant to be outside of the Grave just wants me to get her back even more. I wanna have so much fun with her like I wanna show her my comic books, have a fire breathing contest, fly kites again and tons of things. I want her to live and have a life with us."
Twilight smiles and hugs him with her wing. "Same here Spike." She looked and saw that the group was starting to leave and that Applejack currently had Rainbow dash's zap apple colored tail in her mouth as she was trying to drag her away from the barrel of cider.
"No!!!" Rainbow dash screamed.
"That's enough sugar cube." Applejack said sounding muffled as she walked behind the group dragging Rainbow.
Twilight looked down at Spike. "We better get moving, we don't want to get left behind now do we."
Spike chuckles. "Yeah we better hurry. I don't think Applejack can hold Rainbow dash away from the cider for long."
The two smiled and hurried after the others.
