Era of Harmony

Chapter 57: The calm before the hailstorm.

*Nicholas POV*

We had done it. We were able to gather enough love energy to send to my brother back at canterlot castle with almost no interruptions.

Yet...something seemed off. Almost like things were only just starting to get bad, and all of this was just a precursor to something far worse...

I needed to get back.

I walked over to Tak and the others as Octavia returned from dealing with Flash. All of the guys had somber expressions while Octavia looked quite happy.

"So, what's next?" She asked as Tak looked to Axel and Roxas before sighing.

"We need to go to Canterlot Castle. There's...something we need to do there." He said as Octavia tilted her head.

"Does it have to do with that magic blast you shot?" She asked as Axel raised a hand to stop any further questions.

"Classified, but thanks for everything so far." Axel said before his body glowed and he returned to his original form. Roxas and Tak did the same as I glanced over at the castle before gasping.

"Uh...guys?" I said as I looked at the events transpiring.

There was a huge grey swirl cloud slowly growing over thr castle, and even from this distance I could make out a bunch of blue objects floating around the castle.

"Ok, what is happening over there?" Axel asked as Tak closed his eyes for a second before opening quickly and turning to Octavia.

"Take us there, NOW!" He yelled as he turned to Axel and Roxas. "Guys, we have a maximum threat level and Mom's in the middle of it. Be prepared for a fight."

I frowned, noticing the panicked edge in his voice. "Maximum threat? What the heck did you see?"

I've never seen him like this before. He was worried, and that meant something happened after we launched that spell ball.

Tak looked towards the castle, a grimace on his face as he answered me.

"Something ancient was awakened by our little performance, and if we can't stop it...then say hello to the next ice age."

Ice...age? What did he mean by....oh no.

I took a step back from him as the while world seemed to get dimmed out. It can't be...her, can it? I thought as my ears started to ring and I felt slightly light-headed.

"Nicholas!"

But she was a dream! Dreams don't come to life, right?

"Nicholas!"

And Tak didn't say who it was, yet it would explain all the cold chills and the laughing if it was her.

"NICHOLAS!"

I was snapped out of my down-spiral as Tak started shaking me a bit. He noticed my eyes fall on him and sighed.

"Ok, I don't know why you just blacked out, but it probably involves the situation we're dealing with, huh?" He asked as I nodded. "Then spit it out! If we're going into that storm, we might as well know what we're up against."

I sighed, looking down at my feet. "Alright...it started about two weeks ago."

****************
Diamond Tiara POV
****************

I awoke as I felt something nibble on my ear softly.

"Daddy...I'm trying to sleep." I groaned before I remembered where I was. My eyes shot open as I turned my head to see a changeling standing over me with a big smile on his face.

"Left ear has lot of love in it." He said as I frowned.

"That doesn't mean you go and bite it! Get away from me!" I said, flailing my hoofs around as it jumped back in shock before flying off. I sat up with a frown. How does my ear even begin to have love in it? The only pony I know that messes with it is...ooooooh. I thought as I realized Nicholas messing with that spot all the time may be a sign of affection from him, causing the area to be a love fest for the changelings.

No matter the reason though, it's still gross.

I looked around and noticed everyone else was still asleep. Silverspoon was cuddled up to Zexion, who seemed bigger now than what he did before we passed out. Sweetiebelle was conked out on a rock with a silly smile spread on her face.

Must be having a good dream. I thought with a small laugh as I noticed Applebloom wasn't anywhere to be found.

Where is that farm pony at? I thought as I peeked down a couple of tunnels. Nope, nothing but either darkness or blue eyes that followed my every move...creepy.

As I looked down another tunnel, I felt a hoof go on my shoulder.

"AGH!" I yelled out loud as I turned around to see Applebloom eyeing me weirdly.

"Are ya ok? Ya seem...skittish." She asked as I frowned.

"Of course I'm skittish! We are who knows how deep under ponyville in a cave inhabited bt Equestrias stalker species!" I said angrily, throwing a glare down a tunnel full of the bug things before continuing. "I slept on the floor while my coltfriend is at a castle and now I'm starting to get hungry!"

Applebloom blinked in suprise before shaking her head. "Ah guess all of this is a tad crazy." She sighed happily. "Fer Nick though, it's worth it."

The contract my mother made him sign flashed through my mind as she said that, causing a wave of guilt to flwo through me as I turned away. She noticed this and tilted her head.

"What's wrong, Diamond Tiara?" She asked as I sat down and looked at her.

"Applebloom...do you like Nicholas?" I asked her as she blushed slightly before sheepishly smiling.

"Ah do...though don't go telling anypony outside of our friends. Ah don't need mah sister or brother givin' me an earful about young love." She said as I sighed. Might as well tell her.

"Applebloom...there's something I have to tell you. Back when Nicholas came to my house, my mother made him prove he was 'worthy' to date me."

Applebloom frowned. "Worthy? Yer mom didn't like Nicholas? Why?"

I sighed and shrugged. "Probably because hes not a pony...or rich. But Nicholas managed to convince her otherwise...at a cost."

Applebloom sat down next to me, a concerned look on her face. "Cost? What are ya talkin' about?"

I looked her in the eyes, starting to really feel bad about the whole situation. "She made him sign a contract stating that my family would moniter and streamline his career as a musician."

Applebloom tilted her head, her little bow bobbing a bit in rhythm to the movement. "That don't sound to bad."

I looked away, unable to keep eye contact as I continued. "That's not all. She also made him agree that if he herded, he couldn't bring anypony in that wasn't of noble or rich blood."

Silence. That's what could be heard as Applebloom digested that information. After a moment, I heard her speak up, though her voice sounded much less energetic than before.

"Ya mean ah can't...?" She asked, a hitch in her voice as I winced at the words. I could feel the sadness from Applebloom as she realized her crush was unable to date her...because of me.

"Applebloom." I said, barely able to keep my own voice from wavering. "I'm so sorry. I would have told you sooner, but the stuff with Nicks brother happened and..." I shook my head. No. No excuses. "No, I could've said something before then as well, but I was afraid to. I'm really sorry."

She looked directly into my eyes then, and I hated what I saw in hers. It was like somepony had mixed sadness, shock, and anger into a bowl and put it in a blender.

"Tiara...why would he do that? Nick isn't the kind of guy to do that to himself." She asked as I groaned slightly.

"He did it for me, claiming that he would be with me no matter what." I said, my face getting red as I remembered how he had held me that day after signing the contract.

Applebloom slammed a hoof on the ground. "Well, it's not fair! How am ah supposed tah be with him if yer mother put him in a contract?" She said angrily as I found myself getting riled up by her tone.

"Dont blame me for all of this! He's the one that decided to sign it." I retorted as Appleblooms eyes narrowed.

"Ah can blame ya for this and ah will. Everything was going fine between us until ya cropped inta his life! How Nick ever stands dating you is beyond me!" She rebutted harshly.

I growled as I butted heads with Applebloom. "Now listen here, farmer. For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to be nicer for Nicks sake, but it's clear you've got a problem with me no matter what I do. Get it in your head, Applebloom! Nicholas chose ME, NOT YOU!" I found myself yelling the last part as Applebloom fell back on her haunches, tears in her eyes. I immediately regretted what I had done, and reached out a hoof to her.

"Applebloom, I'm sorr-" I went to apologize, but she snapped back.

"No! Leave me alone!" She yelled back as she got up and ran through the tunnel we had came through. I went to go after her but stopped as a hoof landed on my shoulder. I turned and saw Scootaloo standing there with a frown on her face.

"Scootaloo, I..." I went to say, but she stopped me with a raised hoof.

"Don't. You'll only make it worse." She turned to where Applebloom ran off and sighed. "I overheard all of that. She just needs some time to think."

I groaned as I sat down, feeling like crap after what just happened. "I didn't mean to snap at her. With all that's going on, I guess we are all a bit on edge right now."

Scootaloo laughed slightly in response, causing me to turn and glare at her.

"I hardly think this is something to laugh about." I said as she shook her head.

"It's just that, not too long ago, me and my friends only passions were simply looking for our marks while you and Silverspoon bullied us. But now, thanks to Nicholas and his brothers arriving, things have changed."

I tilted my head, slightly confused by where this was going. "Changed how?"

She gave me a wry look. "For one thing, your worried about Applebloom instead of mocking her." I smiled sheepishly at the reminder of how I used to act. "Another thing is that me and my friends haven't done a crusade for our cutie marks in a while, almost as if more important things have arisen...or we found out our marks may not be as important to find as we thought." She said as she shook her head. "But I'm not that good at all this thinking stuff, leave that for Sweetiebelle."

I chuckled lightly as I looked over at Silverspoon, who was snuggled with the white eyed changeling that had been assigned to her. "Silverspoon was always the voice of reason whenever I planned...anything, really. At times, she even wanted to stop bullying you girls and hang out with you instead."

Scootaloo frowned. "Then why didn't you? I'm sure we would've forgiven you guys if y'all were sincere."

I sighed, remembering my cutie mark quinceañera that had been thrown so long ago and the resulting events that followed. "In the end, I was jealous."

She leaned back slightly, taken aback by my answer. "Jealous? Of us?"

I nodded. "Jealous of your futures. I had already gotten my cutie mark and knew my destiny, but you and you friends hadn't gotten yours yet. And after Twilight explained what that could mean back at my party, I couldn't help but feel jealous of you three."

Scootaloo looked at me for a while before shaking her head. "Man, we're all a bunch of goofs, aren't we. We could've been friends a long time ago, but let something as silly as cutie marks get in the way."

I smiled and put out a hoof. "Exactly. And I'm sorry about all of the bullying I put you through. Friends?"

She looked at my hoof for a while, causing me to worry that she wouldn't take it. Thankfully, she smiled big and shook it.

"Friends." She said as I sighed in relief.

"Awwwww, Scootaloos being sappy."

We turned and saw Sweetiebelle looking at us with a mischevious look on her face.

"Hey! I don't see you patching up friendships, vocal dreamer." Scootaloo retorted as I looked at her, confused.

"Vocal what now?" I asked as Sweetiebelle blushed and puffed her cheeks.

"Don't call me that!" She exclaimed as Scootaloo leaned in next to me.

"Sweetiebelle has this thing with sleep-talking. Ever since I found out about it, I've been messing with her by bringing it up."

Sweetiebelle huffed and crossed her hoofs. "It was ONE time!"

I couldn't help but laugh alongside Scootaloo at the scene. Maybe things between us could go well after all.

************
Raiden POV
************

I rushed into the castle and took a left, hoping that Ronin's loony plan to save himself actually worked. As I turned the corner, I was able to see the throne room doors up ahead.

"C'mon! Hurry up!" I called back to Luna and Fluttershy, who were both on my heels as i had been running through the castle. But before I could make it to the door, I heard Fluttershy slip on something and slam on the ground with an audible "oof."

I spun around and rushed back to her as Luna was already there besides her. "Are you alright?"

Fluttershy, with the help from Luna, stood and smiled at me. "I'm fine. Though I seemed to slip on something on the ground." She said, pointing to an odd puddle on the ground.

The puddle was a greenish color and was about the size of a pony. It also seemed to have a trail that led into a room nearby.

I heard Luna sniff a couple times before scrunching up her muzzle. "Tis something off on the wind, and we think that puddle is the cause."

I looked between the puddle trail and the throne room door and sighed. We'll just check this out real quick, and then go in there and see if everything is ok.

"Alright, follow me." I said as I went into the room the trail led into, opening the wooden door that led into what looked like a guest bedroom that was being used.

"Odd. No rooms have been reserved for any guests today" Luna commented as I shrugged while looking at the end of the trail.

"Maybe its Grimbeaks room or something. Either way, the trail ends at the closet." I said as I approached the Birch wood closet, though I felt oddly uneasy about doing so.

I heard Fluttershy eep and turned to her mid closet door open to find her staring at...Ronin's sword? It's been here the whole time?

"Kindess, is that Ronin's blade?" Luna asked Fluttershy as she nodded weakly.

"I-I think so, princess. Though I don't remember it feeling so scary to stand near." She said as I turned back to the closet and shrugged.

"Meh, probably because its a katana. Those swords can be kinda scary to be by." I said as I opened up the closet...

...And jumped back several feet as a body fell out.

Fluttershy and Luna noticed it as well, though the had different reactions. Luna gasped and took a step back herself while Fluttershy fainted, landing softly on the bed.

I stared at the body in shock. It was black and had holes in it, so it had to be a chnageling...but which one? I leaned in a tad and slowly moved its face to mine, allowing me to see the yellow eyes it had.

Considering Tak was with Nicholas right now (and that Tak now had a new look), this had to be that Larxene girl that worked for Ronin. Didn't Chrysalis say Grimbeak did something to her?

But this? this was cruel. It looked like someone had taken a buzzsaw to her head and almost split it down the middle. Any horn that was there was gone, and I could see the brain matter through the crack in her head from said saw.

It was all too much too fast, and I found myself throwing up chunks to the side as Luna rubbed my back with a hoof.

"We do not blame you for your reaction to this...ghastly sight." She said as she grimaced at the body. "It appears we found the changeling Laughter was looking for." She turned her head back to the conked out Fluttershy and sighed. "Perhaps tis better she didn't see how the changeling died, less nightmares that way."

I recovered from the upchucking and walked over to the bed, grabbing the sword that was laying there before turning to Luna.

"Lets go. We need to find that Grimbesk guy and make him pay. No one helps accuse my brother of murder when he's just as bad." I said as Luna nodded and we made way towards the door.

But as we went to open it, the entire thing froze over. Like, the ENTIRE wall the door was connected to and everything.

My jaw dropped as Luna's horn glowed, but did nothing. She growled at the lack of spell casting.

"Why didn't the teleport spell work?" She walked up and poked the ice with a hoof before taking a step back, her eyes wide. "No... No no no no no no. It cannot be!"

I raised an eyebrow, thoroughly confused at her reaction. "I mean, it's bad we're stuck and all, but it's not panic bad yet."

She turned to me, allowing me to see the pure fear in her eyes. "Thou doesn't understand! This sort of ice hasn't been seen since before we were banished! The only being that could evet make this ice was...her." She said as the color drained from her face.

I sighed and crossed my arms while tapping my clawed foot on the ground, making a pink sound with each tap. "Luna...your gonna have to be open with me here. I have no idea who your talking about."

She looked at me, her eyes shifting from fear to shame (shame?) before she sighed. Very well, there is only one being that could do this...a human girl from my time."

My eyes widened. Human girl?! Does that mean she's talking about the lady from the photograph?

Luna noticed my reaction and nodded. "If your thinking of the girl from that photograph, then you are right. She came to this world alongside Callobrim and Dadiolus all those centuries ago." She said, though something didn't add up.

Thinking back, I didn't recall Luna OR Celestia ever mentioning a third human when they explained things before. But why?

"Luna..." I began, wondering why they would omit such a big detail from us. "Why didn't you mention her before when you spoke of my grandfather and Dadiolus? And why does this girl even have ice powers?"

Luna sighed again, clearly uncomfortable with the memories she was recalling. "The reason she is able to do such things is-"

"WHERE ARE YOU, LUNA?!"

The loud voice echoed throughout the room, and perhaps even the castle itself, as Luna and I jumped in suprise. I looked to her, now completely bewildered.

"Was that her? And why does she sound pissed off at you?" I exclaimed as Luna shook her head.

"There's no time! We need to find her and stop her before she hurts anypony!" She said as I looked around before eyeing the sword in my hand.

Ooooooo. Holding Ronin's stuff is giving me a Ronin level bad idea that just might work!

I looked to Luna, unable to resist putting a bit of cockiness into my voice (It works for Ronin, so why not me?) as I voiced my idea.

"Hey Luna...could you do an enchantment spell on this sword?" I asked as Luna tilted her head but nodded.

"Indeed. But why?" She asked as I got a twisted grin on my face.

This is gonna be great.

****************
Redheart POV
****************

I watched on as Chrysalis conversated with what looked like another human, though that couldn't be right since the only humans here were Ronin and his brothers...right?

Either way, conversing was hard when those monster like thing were flying around. they looked eerily like earth ponies, but the size of alicorns that were sky blue and almost see through.

That was another thing, why were these things here? Everyone knew about the Hearth's Warming story, but that what it was...a story. Now the creatures from it were flying around the room being obnoxiously loud witht their whinnying.

"What do you mean Queen? How do you rule a species like them?" Chrysalis asked the woman as the Queen shrugged.

"To be honest, it's not s walk in the park, especially when they want to feast." She turned to Grimbeak with a glare. "Why didnt you tell me you were coming to Canterlot?"

Grimbeak froze up, seemingly unable to find the words to answer her. Blueblood, however, had no such problem.

"That is not any of your business, welch!" He exclaimed as he pointed a hoof at the ice lady. Said Queen turned to the new talker with a look of amusement.

"Oh, isn't this just divine! So much hate from one such soul." She said, empathizing the word hate loud enough to gather attention of the Wendigo.

My eyes widened as I realized what would happen. I turned to Pinkie, who had been oddly quiet this whole time, and turned her head towards me.

"Pinkie, what's wrong?" I asked as she rubbed her stomach, which was easilt bigger than it was yesterday, and gave me a weak smile.

"Pinkie has a massive tummyache." She replied as I nlinked in suprise. This shouldn't be happening this fast! She shouldn't feel that foal for another couple of months!

I turned to Chrysalis, who was just about to say something else to the other Queen, and called her over.

"What? I am interrogating a rival Queen!" She said snappily as I rolled my eyes.

"First off, not a rival since she's not a changeling. Second off, Pinkie isn't feeling too hot." I said, pointing to the groaning Pinkie. Chrysalis eyed her for a second before gasping.

"Oh no...We need to leave." She stated as I frowned.

"What do you we mean need to leave?" I stated as the Ice Queen continued talking with Blueblood.

"I hate everything that involves humans, thank you very much. Especially humans that interrupt my day plans!" Blueblood snarled as his hooves became frozen, but he didn't notice that or the Wendigos swirling over him.

The Queen chuckled. "Of course you do. Tell me, which human do you hate the most?"

It was clear to everyone except Blueblood that she was trying to make him extend his hate more, and he was falling for it hook, line, and sinker.

"Easy! that human that we were putting on trial! He slaughters several ponies in our royal guard and all Auntie does is give him a roll in the hay? Preposterous!" The ice was now to his neck, but he still didn't notice.

I turned to Chrysalis, eager to leave before we became next.

"We need to leave, do you have any teleport spells?" I asked as she scoffed.

"Of course I do. What am I, five?" She said as she flashed her horn and a green light enveloped all three of us.

****************
Queen POV
****************

A green flash to my right alerted me that the changeling and her two friends were gone. Oh well, they aren't my targets anyway.

Then again, neither was princey poo here. But hey, a meals a meal.

Said prince was now almost fully frozen, all it would take is one more push...

"As for your Auntie, do you hate her?" I said as the stallion hesitated before his eyes narrowed.

"Normally, I'd have you thrown to the gallows for that, but recently that question has been more accurate than not." He said before nodding. "Yes, I do ha-"

It was done. The dumb male was frozen completely over! I doubt even the water around the titanic froze that quickly!

I turned to my metal bird friend...assoicate now due to his lack of sharing travel plans, and smirked.

"If you wanna become dessert, stay right there. If not, I suggest you leave." I stated as he squawked before flying out an open window. Turning back to our frozen friend, I whistled to get all eyes on me.

"Oh, boys! DINNERS ON!" the Wendigo slowly began to circle down apon the frozen body as a wicked smile grew over my face as I summoned my staff and sent an ice wave down the hallway leading into the throne room because why the hell not?

Oh, I can't wait to finally have my revenge on that Lunar princess!

****************
Nicholas POV
****************

The ship docked in the courtyard as Tak, Axel, Roxas and I got off. Octavia had told us that she would take Flash to the barracks but warned us about something sinister that was here.

Though, considering all the blue horse things and ice around the castle, the warning was kinda unnecessary.

"What the heck happened here? We were gone for only a couple of hours!" Axel stated as we took in the chaos that was happening. Tak turned to me, a look of concern in his eyes.

"Nicholas, as much as this may be a bad idea, we need to split up." He said as my eyes widened in shock. Splitting up, bo matter what movie your in, is ALWAYS a bad idea.

"Wait, why?" I asked as Roxas pointed towards some room in the castle.

"We need to find our Queens, you need to find your brother." He said as Tak looked at Roxas with mild suprise. It had been the first time he had spoken seriously...ever. Things must really be bad then.

Axel placed a hoof on my shoulder. "Listen, kid. We remember what you said about that ice lady. We just have to avoid her until we can gather the troops necessary to wipe her out."

Tak nodded. "Indeed, so under no circumstances should you even think about facing her alone. Especially if she's been targeting you."

I smiled, hiding my worried thoughts, and nodded, touched by the concern they were showing. "No problem, guys. The last thing I want to do is face her alone anyway." I said with a forced grin.

They nodded as Tak turned to Axel and Roxas. "Now, while Nicholas finds his brother Raiden, we need to search for the Queen. Thanks to Roxas and his kinda disturbing sense of direction, we have a location. All we need to do is get there."

Axel and Roxas nodded as Tak faced me again. "Good luck, Nick. And be careful. If that Queen is as powerful as you said she is, we may need everything we got just to win this one." He said as I gave him a hug, getting a squeak (squeak? Really, Tak?) out of him.

"Thanks, man. And I'll be careful, as long as you do the same." I said as I released him from the hug and turned to the castle.

Welp, here we go. I thought to myself as I ran into the castle, hoping that Tak and them would forgive me for immediately breaking my promise.

I needed to face my fears, and I wasn't letting anyone face that queen but me.

******************
Chrysalis POV
******************

I am a queen of MANY drones and one child. That means I have already given birth before, and one would think that would've prepared me for what was ailing Pinkie Pie.

It did not.

"Oooooooh. Why does my tummy huuuuurt!" Pinkie moaned as she laid back on a guest bed we had teleported into after leaving the throne room.

"It's alright, Pinkie. Just breathe in and out, nice and easy." Redheart said calmly.

She didn't like that at all, and faced Redheart with a glare to show it.

"Easy? EASY? I have been in pain for the past three days, and all you can say is EASY?!" She yelled as I frowned.

"You need to calm down, Pinkie Pie." I stated as she turned on me.

"Oh, I did not just get told to calm down by Equestrias biggest firecracker! That is hilarious!" She stated before moaning in pain again while Redheart did that aura thing on her stomach that she had done with Ronin before.

How does she do that? She's an earth pony.

"Redheart, what is wrong with her?" I asked as she faced me and frowned.

"You don't know? ooooh, wait I only told Ronin that she's pregnant." She said as my eyes widened in shock.

"She's what?!" I yelled. This complicated everything! A pony getting impregnated by a changeling was dangerous if the pony didn't become a hafling. Why? Because changelings lay EGGS! And ponies can't do that.

I stepped forward and leaned in about inches from Pinkies face. "Do you want to save that child?"

"What?" Pinkie said, suprised at the sudden question.

"I'll ask again. Do you wish to save that child inside of you?" I restated as she nodded quickly.

I turned to Redheart. "She needs to become a halfing to survive this."

Her eyes widened as she looked between us. "Can that even be done with the foal in her body?"

I nodded, turning to Pinkie. "Yes, but it will be difficult."

Redheart frowned. "I just don't get how she's at the childbirth stage already! Ponies don't get there for another eleven months!"

I groaned, really NOT wanting to do a biology lesson while there was a rampant Queen somewhere. "Changelings only need a week or two to produce spawn. And since Ronin was a changeling male..."

"...The rules apply." Redheart finished as Pinkie looked into my eyes, where I saw a suprisingly deep sense of understanding. If she wanted to save the foal, she would need to change a part of herself...the purity of her soul and become part changeling.

"Do it." Pinkie said with pure determination. I sighed and lowered my fangs to her neck.

"Are you sure, Pinkie?" Redheart asked her, worried for her, and possibly the
foals, health. Pinkie nodded and winked at me.

"I am. I trust Chrysalis." She said, causing me to feel an odd feeling in my gut, like some odd mix between happiness and pain.

I hate emotions. But I had a job to do, and a friend...no, SISTER to save.

Ronin is going to KILL me when he hears about this. I thought as I bit down on her neck.

Let us hope this works.

Author's Note:

Hey everyone! Another chapter, another authors note!

[Max Ksenofil]

This time, I saw a bit of drama and related emotion in the POV Diamond Tiara. But it's not entirely clear what happened at all? When I read this section, I remembered the movie Butterfly Effect. Probably, I just cannot understand the whole statement.

Perhaps the reason is that you need to pay more attention to just one POV, which will bring more clarity.

---

Frequent switching of POV is good on the one hand, but sometimes it can have a bad effect on the perception of understanding the plot. That is, I want to say that perhaps the description of one POV, for example Raiden in a longer scene, will allow you to get used to the role much better and feel the emotions. Otherwise, it turns out that the reader will only get used to one POV and understand the scene and what is happening in it according to the plot, as there is a quick switch to another scene. And everything starts from the beginning ...

The key words of my thoughts are: Emotions, Perception.

Tip: Smoother transition.

In the end, Raiden, left alone with Luna, could not only talk to her. But to prove that he loves her and will protect her and will go to great lengths. Raiden will try to calm her beloved mare. Kiss her and only then ask: Can you enchant my sword?

And naturally Luna's reaction to Raiden's behavior won't be bad, but vice versa. She will feel his love and this will give her strength and spirit, add concentration on magic.

You need to teach everything to the youth!

---

But POV Redheart certainly pleased.

I laughed at the words of Chrysalis when I imagined such a picture.

Only the question arises again: They are in the throne room. But where exactly? They hid behind an overturned table, for example, or what is it? Or they all stand so openly and watch how the Snow Queen has some kind of conversation. And pinkie pie at this moment .... this is generally a crisis for my understanding. But this absurdity makes me senselessly funny! Hah.😅

"Of course I do. What am I, five?" She said as she flashed her horn and a green light enveloped all three of us.

Thanks bro! You cheered me up with this chapter! But again a question arises that you don't have to answer!

And They couldn't do it before? They had to definitely look at this ice queen ... and only after realizing that Pinky had a stomach ache, they finally realized that they had to go to hell!

---

Ronin got in the ass ...

You did something with your story that causes a lot of laughter every time!

Polishing the POVs is something I am working on. The emotion around Diamond Tiara and Applebloom is this: Applebloom is upset that Tiara and Nick didnt tell her about the herding agreement with the rich family, considering now Applebloom has no chance with Nick due to not being wealthy.

Honestly, ponies just standing there watching the evil person talk happens waaaay to often in the shows for me to NOT include it here.
