Searching
The sleeping bag on the bench seat of the Scouticus wasn't the most comfortable sleeping arrangements, but it beat nothing at all, and with a stretch, Sunny was ready to greet the new, frigid day in the frozen north. She got up, rolled up the sleeping bag around her pillow, and put it into the corner of the seat, and put her snow boots on before stepping outside, where Sprout was sitting and tending the fire.
"Morning, Sunny," Sprout greeted. "Coffee?"
"Sounds absolutely perfect, Sprout. Am I the last one up?" She asked.
"For once," the red stallion replied, pouring Sunny a cup of the hot beverage from the kettle. "Flurry was the first one up, no idea how much sleep she got. She wasn't in here when I got up, and I was up at six."
"She in the library?" Sunny asked as she sipped at her coffee.
"Yup. Zipp found her in there on the first trip in, she's certainly focused on something important." Sprout answered.
"Well, I'd better go see what it is," Sunny told him, opting to stick to the granola bars in her saddlebags if she got too hungry as she stepped away from the fire and headed into the library. Izzy was pulling books off of the shelves and stacking them on the table, Pipp was sorting them once they had been set down, and Zipp was carrying what she had prioritized for loading and putting them in the closest bin, which once full would be pushed out to the trailer.
"Morning, Sunny. Finally up?" Zipp asked after stacking the next four books in the closest bin.
"Yep. Sprout said Flurry was here?" the earth mare asked.
"Around the corner away from the noise, she seems awfully focused on something," Pipp said, organizing books on the table next to the bin.
"Thanks," Sunny said, before walking down the main concourse between the two sets of large bookshelves. Sure enough, after the last shelf, at a table against the back wall, sat Flurry Heart, horn glowing and providing light as she sat with two books. One looked to be a hoof written journal of some sort, and the other was a far larger atlas, with the pages wider and taller than most books, containing topographic maps that Flurry was studying quite intently.
"Flurry?" Sunny gently asked.
Flurry sat up and glanced over at her, and Sunny immediately knew that she had not slept well.
"Are you alright?" She asked the alicorn.
Flurry stretched, and pushed the chair away from the table.
"Yeah, I probably don't look that great. I've been in here since five in the morning. I had a rough night, so since I've already gathered up what personal items I want, I figured I'd try and find something that Princess Twilight hid away. It... It could be important."
Sunny wasn't sure what to say. She wasn't sure if Flurry looked worried, or if she looked like she just didn't get a good night's sleep.
"Can I get you some coffee?" Sunny asked.
Flurry shook her head as she got up.
"No, but thank you. I need to get up, I've been hunched over those books for hours. I think I'll go get some myself, maybe the walk will clear my head."
"Alright, don't work too hard, now," Sunny told her, trying not to sound too concerned. When Flurry got up and headed for the front doors, Sunny took a curious glance at the page of the atlas the alicorn had been looking at. Whatever she was looking for, it was fairly close to Maretime Bay and Bridlewood, on the southwest coast...
Flurry Heart looked into the flames as Sprout poured her a fresh cup of coffee.
'You did it, didn't you, Opaline? You caused the discourse that threw this nation into civil war. But what was your goal? You knew as ponies started to disagree and lose their magic, the windigos would return, and that nothing would be able to stop them. What are you after? What's your endgame?'

I always love fan art. Also, I can't wait for more!
I guess she was reading that Alicorn book that appeared in Chapter 4? I hope we see longer chapters for when she faces Opaline which I wonder what you plan to do moving the story since it seems like Flurry is aware of where to go... Will she meet Misty?
So it looks like Sunny woke up and Sprout told about flurry heart woke up early and thinking she could be in the library so she Got to her and flurry really looks so worried about something and it has to be something what Opaline did and why is she doing this well I guess we'll find out next time
Ahhhh the suspenseee-
The art at the end looks like a cross between Flurry and Skyla.
Flurry's coat, but Skyla's mane.
Opaline's a supervillain: it's theatrical and stupid.
Another well done chapter. Certainly appreciated the work going into the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up. Sunny and Flurry's chat when the former found out that the latter was burying herself a little too deep into her research was appreciated, as were Flurry's thoughts as she was wondering what exactly Opaline was trying to gain. Yeah, it would probably be a pretty good idea to step up Sunny's training as far as her "training wheels alicorn" abilities go so that when you confront Opaline at the end, it will be two alicorns to one (hopefully before Opaline regains enough of her power to be a serious threat again). And, of course, I'm also hoping that the gang can reason with Misty much sooner so she will also switch sides a lot earlier than in canon.
But, anyway, definitely looking forward to more of this.
Well we know now!
She wants to rule!

Yeah!
Man Skyla is an interesting character aint she?
11614018
An interesting situation, I would say.
She has barely more character than any other toy-exclusive pony.
11614021
Yeah
Luckily thats what imagination is for!
I kinda have her in my head as a character
So yeah!

Well we only got to see her as a baby, your really don't start to develop a personalty till your about 4, you don't have enough life experiences till then.

Flurry has character. Not much personality, but she has character. She has a light backstory, a couple major life events, and only a little else.
Skyla doesn't. We know she's an infant princess, and that she is pink with purple/blonde two tone mane. A quick search didn't turn up anything else official. No character, no backstory, no personality.

Skyla is a real toy only character, Flurry gets screen time.

I think we're pretty much on the same page about this.
Last thing I'll add is that only being a toy does not preclude having a backstory. There were a few months between when Sunset Shimmer was seen in toy form and when she was revealed to be in Equestria Girls, but in that time we already knew she was a former student of Celestia. (And it's from that tiny backstory that we got the first ever Sunset fanfic, Sunset of Time)
