//------------------------------// // Prep Work // Story: The Burning Traveler // by Dramize the Salamander //------------------------------// Three week's later and it was three days until the summit and Twilight was freaking out worrying about her preparations she had spent two weeks with her friends help getting everything perfect. Native foods for each ruler was prepared with the upmost care, banners with the color and symbol for each nation were hung around the meeting room each bordered with gold trimming and Twilight spent a week learning a translation spell to cast over everyone. "Every looks perfect I just hope nothing goes wrong." Rarity said straitening the topaz colored Vespin banner with her magic. "What are you talking about we have egghead here and were going to have the other princess here as well. What could possibly go wrong." Rainbow said with the upmost confidence calming Twilight a little. "You may be right rainbow but anything can happen. Remember when we thought Celestia as second only to Discord in power." "Good point we should be ready for anything." Twilight said still freaking out slightly. "Like the mysterious guest Larvarida is bringing." Rainbow thought out loud. "Hey Rarity, you did the banners, do you know who she's bringing?" "Not at all darling and it's killing me she created a loop and left us all out of it." "Well all she told me was to just leave a empty spot for them, I think. Her speaking pattern is kind of confusing." "Ok I got the last of the food done finally." Applejack said walking in carrying to trays of food." "Hey AJ your wearing your weapons." Pinkie said with her usual enthusiasm as she looked at the metal boots Applejack was wearing and the two pistols at her sides. "Yeah and so are you what of it?" "Nothing they just seem to fit so well." "Well they were made just for me like your hammer was." "Hey has anypony seen Fluttershy around?" Rainbow asked shifting the griffin banner to the right. "Yeah I think she still by the new fountain you had installed." Meanwhile Fluttershy was standing in the giant almost pool sized fountain that Twilight asked the kirin to make her eyes closed she felt the water move calmly around her hoofs. She took a deep breath and took in the silence around her as she slammed her palms together. "Remember what Dramize said you have your own fire now I burn deep in she you its apart of you reach out to it and it will come to you then mold it you powers only limit is your imagination and that's how create a chaos." Fluttershy whispered to herself as she remembered what Dramize showed her yesterday just as her friend came to see what she was doing. The water started to shift as bubbles started to come up around her hoofs slowly picking up speed with each passing second until the water around her was boiling and steam started to rise. "What do you think she's doing?" Rainbow whispered from the corner they were hiding behind "I have no idea it almost seems like she's meditating." Twilight whispered back. "Maybe we should just ask her." Rarity whispered. "Hold up something's happening." Twilight whispered lookin closer. Fluttershy jumped up pulling out both of her swords slamming their grips together causing the scimitars to combine into her bow as she landed on the water in the fountain drawing back her bow creating a shinning orange arrow. Her eyes sharpened becoming more dragon like as the rings on her belt rose up in the arrows flight path. "Pierce and destroy Demonic chaos." Fluttershy said about to fire only to have to jump back as an ice pillar nearly encased her. "Hey shy what's up?" Applejack said walking from behind the pillar. "You looked like you were working to hard so I thought you should take a break and cool off. Don't you agree Pinkie?" "That's right why don't you rest for a while." Pinkie said resting her hammer on her shoulder as Fluttershy growled in response separating her bow before vanishing appearing behind Applejack scimitars ready to cut her in half when Pinkie came down with her hammer on Flutter's back imbedding her into the ground. "Owww why does my everything hurt?" Fluttershy asked prying herself from the ground her back to normal. "Don't worry about it I'll just take you to Fatal and you'll be right as rain." Applejack said giving Fluttershy a hand as they went to the hospital while Pinkie just walked to her hiding friends who were to say the least were surprised. "Pinkie what was that?" Twilight asked recovering from shock the fastest. "Just a little hiccup nothing to worry about." "A LITTLE HICCUP! SHE ALMOST KILLED APPLEJACK!" "Yea but she didn't just leave it at that." "No Pinkie I refuse to be left in the dark." "Then I guess you should find another light." Pinkie said smiling before reaching into her hair and pulling out a smoke bomb and throwing it on the ground to cover her escape leaving only the confused faces of her friends as the smoke wonder where she got a smoke bomb. Meanwhile at ponyville hospital Fatal had just finished healing Fluttershy and was talking with her and Applejack." "Ok Fluttershy it's time you took a day and talked with your inner dragon because we can't have you black out and go on a rampage every time you use your flames. what if no one is their to stop you next time." Fatal said hitting Fluttershy on the head with her clip board. "She's right Shy you need to do this." Applejack as she leaned against the wall next to the door. "But I'm-." "No buts your doing this doctors orders." Fatal said interrupting Fluttershy then leaving the room only to stop at the door to turn with a terrifying look on her face. "Oh yeah if I see you back here for the same reason I'm going to rearrange every muscle in you body for a month got it." Fluttershy nodded quickly which caused Fatal's face to soften. "Good mare."
