"Hello there Blaze." A feminie voice said my name from the darkness. "What do you want?" I replied slightly annoyed. "Well I was wondering. Why were you in that crystal? What happened during the war?" She asked me. "Please cousin I really don't want to talk about this." I replied. clearly annoyed. "Besides, I can barley remember my life because of that damn war, and the damn crystal spell!" I raised my voice, then took a deep breath and calmed down. "Might this help?" She removed her hood and I saw her face. It was Princess Celestia. She stared at me. Her eyes, They calmed me when I looked into them. I took a deep breath and exhaled. "Fine I'll tell you what I remember. Where should I start?" "Tell me how it started. From the beginning." She said waiting patently. "Well it all started after my Uncle-in-law, Solaris, died." Blaze said as his horn lit up and shown a light on the table showing his memory. Blaze walks in to the room and sees his Uncle lying on his death bed. "Blaze... please, come, closer." Blaze steps forward and sits by his Uncle. The same one that raised him was now dying. "Solaris is there anything I can do?" Blaze said holding back tears. "Take this." He hands blade a sheet of paper. "Hand that to... the guard captain and, make sure." Memory cuts off "Blaze what happened? It just-" Celestia was cut off by Blaze. "Stopped? I'm sorry Celestia but the crystal messed with my head more that I thought. Are you sure this is a good idea?" Blaze asked. "Just think, what happened next?" Celestia said. "Well there was a battle and then... why? Why can't I remember?" Blaze asked. "Well as you said you memories are lost but not forgotten. I think it's only a matter of time until you get them back. Say I know of this party it'd be great way to help calm down and socialize. Espesaily since you've been broken out of that crystal for a few days now." "Thanks Tia." Blaze said as he got up from his seat and followed his cousin to the lower floors of the castle. The Grand Galloping Gala was ready to begin.
