> Friendship Is Magic: A Few Years Later > by MLP-HRR > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Few Years Later... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few years have passed since Twilight and her friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy have used the elements of harmony to keep the land of Equestria safe and protected. During that time, Twilight's niece, Flurry Heart had grown and learnt a few things, she is now five years old and lives with her mother, Princess Cadance and her father, Shining Armour, in the Crystal Empire, Flurry Heart loved it here and she even loved her family. A few years, the young Flurry Heart grew up to being five years old, since then, Candace taught her everything there was to know about the history of Equestria, but there was one tiny detail she forgot about, The Elements Of Harmony. One Night, Candace tucked Flurry Heart into bed. "Mama, can you read me a bedtime story?" Flurry Heart asked. Candace chuckled and smiled at her, "Sure, sweetheart." She said, she trotted over to Flurry Heart's little libary and picked out a book titled "The Little Red Hen", she then trotted back to Flurry Heart in bed and opened the book. She then began to read "Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who lived on a farm. She was friends with a lazy dog, a sleepy cat, and a noisy yellow duck." She then quacks a bit, making Flurry Heart laughs, Candace continued to read the book to her as she then reached the last page after a few minutes. ""No!" said the little red hen. "I will." And the little red hen ate the bread all by herself." She then closed the book, "The end." She said, smiling as she saw Flurry Heart sleeping peacefully. "Goodnight, sweetheart." Candace said as she put the book back in the little libary, walks out of the room and closes the door. Very soon, Flurry Heart's adventure was about to begin... > Flurry Heart discovers the book > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One day, Flurry Heart was trotting around the Crystal Empire hallway as she soon approaches her parents who were in the throne room, filling out some scrolls. "I'm bored, Mama and Papa!" Flurry Heart whined as Candace sighed and smiled at her. "Honey, if you're bored, how about you go explore around the library, there's lot of books there to check out." She suggested to Flurry Heart who said with a sigh "Okay, Mama." She then trotted out of the throne as Shining Armour looked at Candace, a little worried. "Are you sure about this? My sister's private possesion is in there." He asked, "Don't worry, honey." Candace said, giving Shining Armour a reasurring smile, "She just needs to learn about the world around her, that's all." Meanwhile, Flurry Heart trotted into the library and looked at the books that were up on the shelves, she looked at a book entitled "Weithering Hoofs" and yawns, "Boring!" She said. Soon, she turned around and saw a brown and gold book with a picture of a golden unicorn on it which stands on a multicoloured stand, she was amazed at what she saw and trotted quietly to it and takes the book off the stand. When she opened the book, she saw something she hadn't before and began to read, she could read easily, thanks to the help of her mother's teaching. "Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon. She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon, and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since." Flurry Heart was amazed at what she read, she trotted back into the throne room to show her parents. > The Tale Of Twilight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- She trotted quickly over to Princess Candace and Shining Armour in the throne room, who are just getting up, while holding the book. "Mama! Papa! Look what i found in the library!" She shouted excitely, trotting up to Candace and Shining Armour, "What did you find, sweet-" Asked Shining Armour as he then noticed that Flurry Heart is holding his sister's book. "That is not what you're suppose to find, young lady!" Shining Armour said, a little annoyed, "I'm sorry, Papa." Flurry Heart said, looking a little sad. Candace shook her head at Shining Armour and trotted over to him and Flurry Heart. "Honey, please don't be so hard on her, she's just five years old." She said, "But she took my sister's book!" Shining Armour said, "But maybe she needs to know something about her aunt." She said, Shining Armour sighed a little and replied "Okay." Candace turned to Flurry Heart who now had tears in her eyes, Candace smiled a sad smile and wiped Flurry Heart's tears away. "Honey, you didn't do anything wrong, you just found something of your aunt." As Flurry Heart heard this, she had a surprised look on her face, still a little sad. "I did?" Candace nodded, "Yes, she once held a powerful thing known as an element of harmony, it helped her and her friends overcome the dangers and escapades that happened in Equestria, believe it or not, sweetheart, it happened way before she took Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's place as ruler of Equestria." Flurry Heart was amazed at what she heard. "Can i see one, Mama, huhn? can i? can i? can i!? She asked excititly, jumping up and down like there's no tomorrow, Candace chuckled and said "Okay, okay, calm down, sweetheart, i'll show you them." Shining Armour looked at Candace with a look of fear, "Are you sure?" He asked, "Trust me." Candace said, she then took Flurry Heart as they both trotted out of the throne room. Shining Armour sighed in fear, "I just hope nothing bad will happen to our little foal." He said. > The Elements Of Harmony > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia took Flurry Heart to a dark room in the castle, she used her magic to light up the room. Inside was a giant golden circle and on it was the Elements Of Harmony, as Celestia presented them, Flurry Heart became so amazed. "These are the elements of harmony, Mama?" She asked, Celestia nodded and replied "Yes they are, honey, they are the elements of Magic, Loyalty, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Kindness, all safe in here." Celestia and Flurry Heart walked up to them slowly so they woulden't cause a distraction to the guard, "Twilight once said that someday, you would be the new element of Magic and the others that you encounter will be the new elements of Loyalty, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Kindness." Celestia said, "But wait, wasn't one of Twilight's students going to be one of the new elements?" Flurry Heart asked, looking a little confused, Celestia nodded and replied "Yes, Luster Dawn will be the new element of Loyalty soon, you have to find her before that could happen." Flurry Heart nodded and said "You're right, Mama, it's my destiny to use the powers of the Element Of Magic, Luster Dawn must have the Element Of Loyalty and my new friends can have the rest." Celestia smiled at her little foal "That's my girl." She said and trotted with Flurry Heart to her room so she could get her daughter ready for her journey. > Off On An Adventure > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning, in the Crystal Empire, Flurry Heart woke up and went to get the saddlepack, Celestia helped packed for Flurry Heart's big adventure. She was ready to go off on her big adventure yet, but she had concerns about being too far away from home, but she knew, she had to help the family buisness, she went down to the throne room where her parents are waiting. "Aw, you look so beautiful, young lady." Shining Armour said, looking amazed, "Thanks, Papa." Flurry Heart said, "I'm ready to go on my big adventure." "But first, let's get some breakfast, you must not go on an empty stomach." Candace said as she took both Flurry Heart and Shining Armour to the royal kitchen. Candace had a bowl of salad, Shining Armour had toast with butter on it and Flurry Heart had a hard boiled egg. After breakfast, Candace, Shining Armour and Flurry Heart went to the entrance of the Crystal Empire, "Well, Mama and Papa, i am ready for my adventure!" Flurry Heart said, "That's good to hear, sweetie, now if you need any help, just use this." Said Candace, giving Flurry Heart a diamond in the shape of a walkie talkie, "What's this?" Flurry Heart asked, looking at the diamond, confused, "It's a comunicator diamond that Celestia created for us, you can call us with that through our comunicator diamond, and we'll come by to help you, okay?" Shining Armour asked, Candace nodded and said "Yes, honey, we'll be right on your side, when you need us." "Okay then, i'm going to miss you, Mama and Papa, but if i can, i can call you so you can help me out." Flurry Heart said, Shining Armour nodded and said "That's right, young lady, you go on now." "We'll see you sooner or later, sweetheart." Candace said, Flurry Heart nodded, hugged her parents, goodbye and setted off for her adventure. "I hope she'll be safe." Shining Armour said, "She will, honey, and we'll soon be with her if she's needs our help." Candace said, reassuring Shining Armour. > Through A Scary Forest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flurry Heart began her journey through a strange and dark forest, the breeze was cold and the trees moved scarily and strangely. Flurry Heart was scared by this forest, but she knew that she wasn't going to give up, cause she needed to find Luster Dawn and new ponies to use the Elements Of Harmony and become the new protectors of Equestria, so she continued foward. She stood bravely and braved through the forest of darkness, she knew that if she needed to, she could always use the comunicator diamond to contact her parents to help her, but first she thought, she needed to be brave in order to obtain the Element Of Magic. As she trotted through the forest, she happened to find herself standing in front of a long flowing stream, maybe there was a way over it, she looked around it, but there was no way over it, but, she then realized, since she is an alicorn, she'll might be able to use her magic to create a way over the stream. But even though Flurry Heart was still practicing her magic, she thought that she'll might be able to create her way over the stream. So, she began. Flurry Heart took a deep breath in and out, and began using her magic to build a bridge over the stream, using a couple of bark and sticks she found laying around the ground, since the bridge needed to stay together, Flurry Heart used her magic really hard to try and get something from out her saddlepack. She found the perfect item, a bottle of Super Duper Glue, something that her father, Shining Armour, made just in case Flurry Heart gets herself in a bit of a pickle with constructing things. She used the glue on the bridge, and once it was finished, Flurry Heart put the glue back in her saddlepack, stopped using her magic and began to cross over the stream with the bridge. The bridge worked, Flurry Heart was safe from the stream and she could now continue her journey as she went through the exit of the scary forest and finding herself in a beautiful garden area. Flurry Heart was relieved that she managed to brave through the forest, she'll might be able to find Luster Dawn somewhere around here. But where? > The New Element Of Honesty > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After escaping the forest, Flurry Heart soon found herself in a beautiful town called Amber's Vill, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, this was much different to Ponyvill and Canterlot. So, she decided to take a look around. She noticed how beautiful and remarkable the town was, it was like she had never seen a place like this before, although, it even shares a bit of familarness to it. The ponies were enjoyable as the ones in Ponyvill and Canterlot, the scenery was charming as the scenery in Ponyvill and Canterlot, and not only that, but the calming atmosphere is also relaxing as the atmosphere in Ponyvill and Canterlot, Flurry Heart felt like she was at a home away from home, sure, it did felt strange to her, but it does seem relaxing to her as well. She soon found herself looking at the most beautiful house that she had ever saw, the bricks were so colourful and properly placed, the paint on the roof was so remarkably designed with the colour cyan, the curtains in the windows were so beautiful, and the door was very remarkably designed in the style of the barn door she saw at Applejack's orchid. feeling a bit hungry, Flurry Heart decided to go up to the house and see if there was anypony there who can give her some food to help her ease her hunger. Once she approached the house she knocked on the door, when the door opened, she came face to face with a orange female pony with a pink long dress, blue eyes and hotpink fresh smelling hair, Flurry Heart never seen anypony like her before, maybe expect for a few ponies she had met at Rarity's boutique. "Why hello there, young pony, are you lost?" The female pony asked with the prettiest smile Flurry Heart had ever saw, Flurry Heart took her courage up and replied "Well, no, i'm not lost, but i am here for some food as i think i might have forgotten to take some with me" The female pony was surprised and continued to smile, "Well oh my goodness, we cannot have you starving then, come inside" She said gesturing Flurry Heart to come in, Flurry Heart nodded and stepped inside. Inside was the most beautifulist living room she had ever seen, the walls, celling and carpet were all coloured purple, the chairs and tables were organised so beautifully well and the pictures in the frames on the walls hung together so perfectelly. "Darling, we have a visitor here!" The female pony called to the upstairs of the house, "Coming, mama!" The voice of a young male pony called back. Flurry Heart was surprised, "You have a colt?" She asked, the female pony nodded her head and replied "Yes, i am raising him by myself as my husband left for some unfinished buisness" Flurry Heart was confused and surprised at the same time, she wanted to know more about the female pony's husband's unfinished buisness, but she felt like that if she did, it could make things a little complicated, so she decided to leave it at that with a shrug and a smile. The female pony chuckled at Flurry Heart when she did that. Soon, a little colt trotted from downstairs and bowed at Flurry Heart, Flurry Heart was surprised to see him, he was a orange pony with golden hair, he also had blue eyes, the same eyes his mother had. "This is my son, Harry" The female pony said, Harry stood from his bowing and smiled at Flurry Heart. Flurry Heart smiled back, "Well, best get to getting the food ready" The female pony said as she headed for the kitchen. Flurry Heart wondered, could Harry be the new Element Of Honesty? She'll might have to find out.
