//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Derpy And Carrot Top: Friends Till The End // by Rtrotten //------------------------------// The legend started over two thousand years ago, where a mare made a mark on history by creating the snowflake, her name was Snowdrop. Unfortunately, the Pegasus was born blind. The story we all know was that Snowdrop died of an unknown cause, The story was a lie. The morning it happened Snowdrop and Luna were flying high above Ponyville when a storm rolled upon them, a strong gust of wind came from inside the cloud and blew Snowdrop out of the sky and towards the Everfree forest. When Snowdrop finally landed, the ground she hit was mossy and damp, she started feeling around for something to tell her where she was when she felt a cold rock but it wasn't just a rock but a crystal with metal plating on it. As she picked it up something happened, something horrible. Luna flew back up to get an aerial view over the forest to look for Snowdrop when the forest seemed to glow a bright blue. Waiting and looking into the forest for a sign that snowdrop was alright, in a blink of an eye, the forest was turned to ice. Snowdrop flew out of the forest but something seemed different. Snowdrop's wings were enlarging to the side of an alicorn. Her eyes had changed too, turning from the pale white eyes into normal eye except redness had shown up around the edges. Her hair changed too it was now almost completely light blue, the hair itself was moving out of free will. Luna looked at her with disbelief when she noticed the amulet on her head. Snowdrop had found the alicorn amulet and it was changing her. Snowdrop could now cast magic, she started using it by making it hail but soon it was growing in size and the edges came to a sharp point. Luna dodged the hail when others soon followed. Dodging the incoming hail soon, another massive hail droplet came into view Luna could not dodge it when a yellow ball surrounded her. She looked around to see her own sister who cast the spell. Both princesses cast spells to trap Snowdrop. They tried for days until they broke the amulet free. Snowdrop requested to keep the amulet. One day there was news of the amulet again. They found her far away from Ponyville in a land without a name. They imprisoned her in the deepest dungeon in the castle that stood above the land. Soon the chains that held her were not strong enough, when she broke free a burst of power covered all around the city and froze all inside and out. When she finally made it out of the city the princesses were ready to lock her in the city forever, but they weren't ready for what they saw. Snowdrop was now an orange mare with icy hair that moved like the princesses but in strands. Her cutie mark had changed into a heart divided into three sections. The Luna yelled to her "Snowdrop you don't have to do this." She yelled back, "My name isn't Snowdrop its Acheron and I want this city to be named after me." The princesses readied an army of creatures and of soldiers ready to risk their lives. For days the battled creatures made of ice until Snowdrop was captured. The princesses brought her to the middle of the frozen kingdom where she could be frozen forever without breaking free. Luna in spite of her sister made a passageway to get into the kingdom to visit her old friend. Through time, the kingdom was lost and a passage still stood open the forest thrived and grew. No one knows where the entrance is today or what happened to the army, but it is told that one day she will be freed.
