Chapter 18: The Tree's Powers

Sombra's POV

I shook my head numerous times to get out of the trance. I know the tree's beautiful, but I need to step back into reality, one hoof at a time. Baby steps, baby steps. I thought to myself.

And I started to walk towards the tree, the blue-green aura glowing brighter by the second.

Then I realised comething ...Where are Amber and Discord?

I looked around and saw Amber. She was walking towards me. "Amber? Where's Discord?" I asked her, but she didn't respond.

"Away." She finally mumbled.

"What?"

"Away from my tree." She said a little louder this time.

"What's gotten into you?"

"The tree, get away! It's mine, and you can't have it's beauty!"

"Amber, where's Discord?"

"You will just chop me up and use my bark as furniture, well you can't! get away!"

Sombra was confused. Why did she say get away from me? He thought. Not wanting any trouble, he stepped away from the Tree Oh harmony.

Sombra looked back at it, and realised that it wasn't glowing any more. That's ....strange. He was trying to wrap his brain around this.

"Amber, it's me, Sombra!"

"Who's Amber?!" 'Amber' sounded pretty angry.

"You, your name is Amber Shiny Leaf, you live in the Crystal Empire." I can't believe I said her full name. He thought to himself again.

'Amber' tilted her head to the side "That's such a pretty name ....Too bad it's not mine!"

"It is such a beautiflu name, and it belongs to a beautiful pony, the one standing right in front of me. I smiled at her, and for the first time, she didn't return it.

"Just leave me! Me and my shame!" 'Amber' said in pity.

Welll that came out of nowhere ....

"Who are you anyways?" I asked, hoping i didn't just shoot myself in the hoof.

"My name is Treeo Harmony, I'm really sorry that I used you 'friend's' body. I am dying, and I needed something to save me." She quoted the word friend's.

"It's ok ...but can I have my Amber back please?"

"Oh ...yeah! Sorry I forgot."

With that Amber Leaf was lifted up into the shy, the same blue-green glow surrounds her, and her eyes are just plain white. Her mane and tail was blowing in the wind.

She was incased in a sphere, and then dropped back down on the ground.

"Amber?"

"S-Sombra?" She got up, putting a hoof ontop her head. "What happened?"

I smiled, and she returned it, and I was happy that she did. I was worried that I would never see it again. "It's along story ..."

"And I think it should be shared with Amber Shiny Leaf here." A majestic voice echoed off the cavern walls.

A light purple-white pony appeared out of the shadows. She looked like Princess Celestia, except her mane wasn't flowing, and she wasn't an alicorn. Her horn was split off into two at the top, and her hooves were furry at the bottoms.

Her mane and tail was purple and zigzaggy, it had rough angles. Her short mane was up in a ponytail with a darker purple band around it. Her eyes were blue and striking, with sharp eyelashes.

She had a star with 6 points and swirls around it. Her ears were furry just like her hooves. She looked just like the Tree of Harmony! (I will provide a picture if i can)

"How do you know my name?" Amber asked, in a shaky voice. "And who are you?"

"As I told you little 'friend' here, my name's Treeo Harmony. Nice to meet ya!" She had a lot of energy. "Sorry, I have been a tree for so long, I guess it's cool to be a pony again! Again ...sorry too much enthusiasm."

"Tree of harmony?"

"No, T-r-e-e-o H-a-r-m-o-n-y, But I am the tree! Hey....what's your friend's name anyway?"

"My name is Sombra."

Treeo jumped back "K-King Sombra?" She seemed afraid. "Celestia and Luney told me about you!"

"No! I'm good now. And who's 'Luney'?"

"Princess Luna! I used to call her that ..you know ...before all that." She frowned. "But! Now that all that's over, every pony's happy!" Treeo looked at the ground. "But I wish they would come and visit me ..."

"I'm so sorry." Amber said almost in tears.

"What's that crown on your head? Why are the gems missing?" Sombra asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, when Discord took the Elements away from me, I became too weak, so I simply used miss Amber's body temporarily. And then I turned into a pony, and the crown is where the Elements Of Harmony go! And since I don't have them, the crown is empty."

"Oh. What happens when you get them back?"

"I think I turn back into a tree, but I'm not sure." She put her hoof on her shin, thinking. "yet." she added. "But ffor now, we have to help the others save Celestia!"

"Wait. How do you know about the problem in Canterlot?"

"I'm connected with the Elements ...duh ...I know exactly where they are."

"Well, where are they?"

"Your not gonna like this. They're in the Canterlot dungeons!"
