The moon cast its silver and beautiful light on the city and creates a mysterious but relaxing atmosphere. . A small pony was standing on the balcony and enjoying the open air. This little purple pony loved to stand under the moonlight and look at the stars, in fact it was something that gave her peace and made her forget all her sorrows.
That day, as always, no one had played with her and no one had volunteered to accept her. Adopting an elkhorn was not an easy and interesting task. Apart from her, there were two young sisters in the Skyros orphanage, but she was the only one who was not noticed by anyone. Of course, it almost made sense that the two Alcorn sisters had spent more time with the other children, and they were both older than Opaline. Opaline Arcana. What Opaline knew completely about herself was that she was brought here when she was two years old, and at that time the other two Alcorn sisters were 5 years old. What occupied Opaline's mind was that these two sisters were just like her, an elkhorn. A horse that has both wings and horns.
It seemed strange that all three of them were born like this and the other ponies were normal breeds. Unicorn, winged and ground pony. These were the main races that lived peacefully together. Of course...thousands of years ago before the birth of Equestria, these three races were not friends and were enemies.

Opaline was born on Florida, a large island close to Equestria's famous regions of Cantelot and Ponyville. Also, Opaline had spent most of her life in an orphanage and didn't know much about the world outside of their island. Of course, he knew many things about it up there, where no one could reach it, a space higher than the sky above them. An infinite universe.

Little Opaline continued to watch the bright stars until a soft and kind voice caught her attention, she was the nurse of Ward 22, Opaline's Ward. Marta was the nurse of Ward 22 and the beloved nurse of young Opaline.

"Martha." Seeing her beloved nurse, Opaline opened her little wings and jumped towards Martha.

"Why weren't you with me today? You promised." Opaline looked at Martha with a bad mood and lowered her head in anger.
Martha sighed and petted Opaline, "My Opal, you know I was off today." My Opal. That was the nickname that Martha gave Opaline. Of course, she actually gave all the ponies in her ward nicknames: Sunbeam, Cloud. Soft, my raspberry, mint and.... Martha was the favorite of all Florida ponies.
Opaline got out of Marta's arms and sighed, "Why doesn't anyone like me? Am I a bad pony?" Marta sighed and looked into Opaline's sad eyes, "Of course not." you are special Martha lit her horn and put Opaline on the bed using magic and left the room.
"Sleep now, it's late." And then everything got dark.

All the ponies woke up at exactly 7:00 a.m., this was the time for breakfast, and the little ponies had to reach the canteen on time to choose the best food. But among the children, Opaline always arrived late and usually there was not much left except a salad sandwich and some boiled potatoes. Of course, Opaline really liked these foods as breakfast or a short meal, and she was always satisfied with what she ate, but that day she was a little lazy. When Opaline arrived at the dining room, the section of boiled potatoes and her favorite sandwich was completely empty, and instead there was a large amount of the food that Opaline hated, i.e. alfalfa soup.
Opaline poured a little soup for herself and sat down at the blue table in the hall like usual and started eating.
"I promised myself not to try this food again, but now look. All the kids love its fried potatoes, pancakes, and garlic bread. Why should my favorite and special food end?" She was heard behind her and a pony muttered, "It's too embarrassing for Ice Elkhorn to eat this kind of food and she doesn't have any cute mark and ...
The voice stopped for a moment, but she continued, "An elkhorn is almost pale. It's really embarrassing that the hair of an elkhorn is white, this is the color for old ponies." Laughter rose from most of the hall and almost everyone started laughing except for one. A pony, a blue pony with eyes the color of the sky, who was also an 
.Alicorn 

After breakfast, it was  always free time and every pony could safely do her favorite things and play with her friends. All the toys were full of boys and girls playing together and having fun. But right behind the building and playground, there was a dirt field that was the hiding place of our little pony Opaline. Opaline usually sat and read in this place, reading books that were her only friend and among them she loved spell books and books of exciting stories that always took her on an adventurous and fantasy journey and also indescribable. They took This was another thing that calmed Opaline in her loneliness and sadness. But it was then that Opaline realized something, something terrible and unbelievable, about Martha. it's true . That day was Sunday and on Sundays it was Martha's turn to take care of the food and that day... Martha was not there. It really wasn't. but why ?
Opaline sighed
She tried to continue reading the book, but just then a sweet and soft voice caught her attention.
"Hey, Opaline, what are you reading?》 Blue Alcorn was standing right behind Opaline and lowered her head to the extent that her breath could easily hit Opaline. Blue Alcorn raised her head and proudly said, "I am Luna. You must be Opaline, right? Opaline Arcana. Then she smiled and sat next to Opaline.
"I don't want my sister to know that I'm with you. She thinks you're weird and well... troublesome. I'm sorry, I don't mean to but.... we can control the magic. But you..." Luna paused and didn't continue. Instead, he got up and ran to the playground right where his sister and their friends were and didn't even come back to talk to Opaline again. Well, almost.

There was something different and special about these two sisters and Opaline could easily feel it, as if a warmth within her was telling her this, and there was even a small spark within her that wanted to say something about herself. An important thing. Opaline sighed and opened her book again and it was there that something caught her eye. The moon and the sun... Why were these two sisters so similar? Luna... Tia... Goddess of the moon. Everything was really strange, even more than before. Why were these two sisters so interesting and mysterious to Opaline? Opaline didn't know, but the spark inside her knew and it had to be activated.

That night came earlier than expected. Of course, it was no surprise, the magicians had become weak and this caused the night and day to be shorter and longer. But just when Opaline decided to go to sleep earlier than usual, the sound of the blue elkhorn caught her attention.
"Sister . Sister . Look, I got a cutie mark. I got a cutie mark."
And it was there that the matter of the moon and the sun and the early onset of night was revealed to Opaline. Luna Princess Luna

Alicorn with night magic.





The next part:  
Moon and Sun mark
> Moon and Sun mark
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night Luna and now Tia. There really was nothing worse than this in the world. The only thing that gave Opaline hope was that she would soon have a cutie mark. But... there really wasn't a more special talent than controlling the moon and the sun, right? So who was she supposed to be? And why was an Alcorn born?


That morning, the bright sun slowly came out with Tia's horn and placed itself in the sky and shone brightly. Opaline looked at the sky from the window of the room. How ridiculous! Why do they have to control the moon and the sun when this is the work of professional sorcerers? Of course, Opaline knew that they were getting weaker day by day and it was becoming more difficult to do this. The weather of Florida, once so carefully crafted and controlled, was gradually beginning to change. Sure, the seasons were still there, but little by little, they were starting to feel... off. A summer day that was a little bit too cold, a winter evening that was a little too warm, everything was slowly falling out of place.

Soon the breakfast bell rang and Opaline didn't want to miss her favorite breakfast this time so she ran to the dining room. was then her eyes fell on Marta, who was talking to the birch-colored unicorn.   She got curious and listened to their conversation behind the pillar near the dining room.

Martha looked at the unicorn and sighed, "So... you want our Alcorns, right? 》 The ash-colored unicorn replied with a serious and dry tone, "Just the two of them. Moon and Sun Controllers. 》
" But... what about Opaline? 》 Marta asked.
"Only the controllers. That little purple elk is still too young. Can't" replied the unicorn.
Marta thought, Opaline was Marta's favorite pony, and Marta wanted Opaline to have some friends and be happy, but it didn't seem like it was happening at the moment.
"Very well. We will talk to the manager here and you will also spend a temporary period so that we can make sure that they or you are comfortable. Please tell us your details. 》

Purple Alcorn came out from behind the pillar, she didn't care much about food anymore Tia and Luna were supposed to have a family but she...
Why was everything so difficult? Opaline didn't know the answer to this question and felt something strange inside her, a strange and special light, a spark that gave her hope and made her more hopeful.

Opaline ran to the dining room and this time she treated herself to all the food she liked.
It was really interesting that her favorite dishes hadn't run out that day, and even more interesting, there was still no one in the dining room. I mean... the talent of these two elkhorns was so special that it had attracted the attention of the ponies of the Florida orphanage? Opaline preferred to enjoy eating for now and later to think about these suspicious sisters who gave her a strange feeling. But why did Opaline feel like she was facing strange and rare creatures every time she saw these two people? And did she feel uncomfortable? Maybe it should be called jealousy, but...no, there was something else that Opaline felt even inside herself, but weaker and with less charm.

In the afternoon, Tia took the sun to the middle of the sky and then the same unicorn Tusi took her and Luna with him to start the first courses.
This matter bothered Opaline a little and made her feel more jealous towards Tia and Luna. Opaline muttered, "Royal Sisters." Opaline paused for a moment, did she really say "Royal Sisters? But why? Why did such a thing occur to her? I mean, they might be the future rulers of Equestria? But then she would have to tell them." The government was helping because it was an Alcorn, just like Tia and Luna.

Opaline left the dining room, it was strangely quiet that day and this gave Opaline a chance to visit the library and read her favorite books. Books were Opaline's only friends and she always enjoyed reading them.
The book chosen that day was a book about a pony that had a strange power, the little pony was a pegasus with the ability to teleport and produce a shield, and this ability made it very different and had no friends until one day it transformed itself into a unicorn. He brought and secretly helped people by using his talent. It got to the point where he forgot that a Pegasus was born and... Opaline was engrossed in reading a book when a voice was heard behind him.

"Hey. What are you reading?" Blue Alcorn was standing behind Opaline and watching her.
Opaline sighed and answered: 
"Hello Luna. The novel book. It's called Pegahorn . Do you like reading books?"
Luna answered: "Yes. But I like to read stories more. Humorous and...exciting stories. What about you?"
:" I love the genre of mystery and adventure. Humor is also good. But most of all I love astronomy."
: "Great. I am Alcorn of the Moon and Tia is the Sun. Maybe you are Alcorn of the Earth. Or maybe the rest of the stars or...anything else."
Opaline stared at Luna, she was the only person who had visited her in these two days. Even Marta has been spending less time with Opaline recently. So this Opaline got ready to ask what was on her mind.
: "Luna, you... you and Tia.. are going to go, aren't you? So why are you messing around so much since yesterday?" Luna looked around, then wrapped her pillow around Opaline and answered: "Well... you're a friend." . Isn't it? A secret friend.》 This was really strange. Tia and Luna were the most popular ponies of Florida and maybe Skyros. Every day a large number of ponies gathered around them and... Opaline didn't wait and asked: "But why me? You have a  very friends. Right? All those ponies who  They are looking for you and Tia all day long... your friend.》 There was a loud laughter in the library.
:" Oh no Opaline. No. They're just fans. They're more of a pest than a friend. They hang around you but they're not friends. They hang out with you and talk to you but they're not friendly. They might seem like they love you and care about you. But they only love to be seen. They only follow you for themselves and soon forget you. A real friend is the one who is with you until the end, even in the worst times. You know, I don't count the fans on my head either.》

These words had a new and strange feeling for Opaline, a feeling that could not be easily understood.
Opaline never had any friends.

: "Opaline. You are having a vigil tonight. Come join us, it will be fun." The little blue elkhorn looked at Opaline for the last time and left the library, and the strange feeling and mysterious spark was activated in Opaline's being again.

Opalin sighed and opened his book, almost to the end of the story.
About ten minutes later, she caught Opalin's eye right on the last pages of the poetry book.
.
be yourself. Don't be like anyone else.
love yourself

Come and don't role play. Be yourself in front of me
Come and show your true self and be a warrior.
Be yourself. Be who you are.
with all your sadness
be yourself .
Be who you are.
just be yourself And wait for his miracle.
No matter what you are, I will stay by your side forever.

It was the first time Opaline read and even heard this poem, but as if... this poem had something in it. A... a warning or advice for... the future. The future of Opaline. Opaline got up and went out of the library. It was almost lunch time and Opalin wanted to prove herself. This time she should win the food fight. She will win.

The tables were turned upside down on the floor of the dining hall and the ponies were behind or under them. Each trench table was at least 2 ponies and each pony had 10 hits.
Each table had to throw sour cream yogurt at the nearest table, and the loser was responsible for cleaning up all of Skyros. 

Opaline had never won these games, but she wasn't a loser either, she was borderline between a winner and a loser. Opaline was usually placed in the table of neutral groups and even in the games she was out of place. But she had to win. The winner of the "Mima" games was allowed to use the book house without permission for two weeks and was also allowed to eat any food she wanted. This was considered a dream and maybe even a small popularity for Opaline, of course, she had to defeat Sue Knight first. The permanent winner of Mima games. Sophia Emilia Knight, known as Sue, was the all-time winner of the Mima Games and all the Florida Games. She was considered one of Florida's favorites and was also adopted by the mayor two weeks ago and became Sofia Emilia. But still at the orphanage in Skyros (of course only on weekends). lived .

Opaline knew how to beat Sue and it was thanks to the book that day and Luna's words.
Opaline took a deep breath and ran to the dining room.

This is not possible. No . No . Nah I always win, don't I? Isn't it Star? 》
Her voice could be heard even from the farthest street of the city. Sophia had finally lost in Mima's games. Thanks to Opaline.
But it was not Opaline who had won. It was Tia. The whole story was that...

It was the end of the war and Su's team was weakened and had no chance to win. Opaline was ahead of all the groups and could defeat Team Su with one shot to become MIMA's champion for the first time. But... a feeling inside Opalin prevented this, she looked at Luna and told her with her body to give space.
Opaline's last shot went to Tia and Luna's table, and Tia's toast was neutralized, and all of Opalin's points went to Tia and Luna.
:"Congratulations. The winner of this round of the official Florida Orphanage games, Luna and Tia. Cheers. Of course, for the first time, we almost saw our third elkhorn Opaline Arcana win. Cheers again...》
The party lasted for two hours, but Opaline preferred to prepare herself for the night's party and get some rest.  She always repeats the song his mother sings to him or Marta sings it to him. This song was the only thing Opaline remembered from her mother. A song that was something like this:

like clouds
like rain
in my heart...
like the sun
in your heart...
those corners
like a memory
like a dream
Your beat in my heart
Like a memory, a corner of my heart.
This is a memory in my heart.

Reviewing this song, Opaline remembered something, the poem she had read in that book that day... her writing style was really similar to this song and even her singing style.
And Marta too... The strange thing was that Opaline repeated the poem in the style that Marta read to her, but this style of reading these words was much more familiar, really familiar.

All the Florida ponies were gathered around a big warm fire under the stars, this was one of the orphanage's annual camps. Opaline was sitting in a corner and thinking about what had happened: first that book, Mima war, Martha's disappearance, Tia and Luna's adoption and most importantly becoming friends with Luna. All these special and strange events did not make sense in one day, and there must have been a reason for wanting Opaline to discover it, and this was what the spark inside told her.
Exactly an hour later, after all the Skyros ponies had gone to their rooms, Opaline returned to the campfire. The ashes of the fire were still warm, and small bright lights were visible on the woods.
But something  It was her feeling that had drawn Opaline to the fire. The feeling she had when she was near the fire, being strong and excited and happy. A feeling that Opaline could describe with only one thing, the feeling of being herself. Being her true self.

Next part: fire mark
> Fire mark
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun slowly started to rise and all the Florida ponies, woke up. That day was an important day for the ponies of Skyros Orphanage. There was supposed to be a visit to the orphanage and one of the lucky little ponies might even get adopted.
Usually on the day of the annual visit to Florida, the most important people of the town went to the orphanage and other important places, so the little ponies had to show good behavior. It didn't matter to ponies like Opaline, but Opaline's mind wasn't at ease that day, she was thinking about all the strange adventures of yesterday, adventures that would never happen to someone like her.

Opaline got off her round blue bed and fixed her hair with magic, then ran to the main hall to find Martha. Marta would never leave Opaline to this extent and this was the strangest mystery in the world for Opaline. In the main hall, all the ponies of the Florida orphanage were talking and had a really great appearance. Every year at least one of the orphanage's ponies was adopted at this annual event, and Opaline loved this annual event. Even though she was not adopted in all these years.
Opaline called this event "a celebration of happiness" and thought how great and easy life all the ponies who leave the orphanage until that time have. Along with love, affection, friendship and family. What was Opaline's main wish.

Opaline passed through the main hall and approached the corridor of the nurses' rooms and went towards Martha's room. Martha's room was room 144 and it was located almost at the end of the corridor.
Opaline approached the door of the room and heard quiet and strange sounds. Marta was talking to the manager of Skyros and seemed to be saying something about her.

:" But... what next? You know that no one accepts Opaline, right?"

: "It's true, Marta, but .. you are. Even if you are not with her. She should not be adopted, you know that she is ..."

:" What are you doing? Come and get out soon"
Opaline looked behind her and saw Nurse Peach, one of the strictest nurses she had ever seen, standing there angrily.
Opaline sighed and moved towards the yard, if she was never going to be adopted, then it would be better if she didn't participate in this year's happiness party.

Opaline's hiding place was the only place that had a special peace and gave Opaline motivation. A quiet and cool place and almost big.
Opaline sat down by her favorite boulder, Marta's conversation with the headmaster of Skyros running through her mind. Why should he not be accepted? And why did the manager say that even if Martha wasn't with him... the puzzles were getting harder and harder and Opaline had to solve them. Opaline teleported a small notebook from her room using magic, luckily she was good at this spell.

Skyros Stranger Things: Detective Opaca's First Case

1 Marta has not been seen in the orphanage for about two days.
2 strange books with strange poems. A poem that is like the lullaby of Opalin's mother
3 Martha is not supposed to be? But should?
4 Why shouldn't Opaline be adopted?
And most importantly, what is the reason for the spark inside the opaline?

Opaline looked at the notes she had written, there was no reason for any of them. Of course for now.
The only thing Opaline knew was that all these events were completely connected and revealed a great secret.

All these events occupied Opaline's mind and she really wanted to solve all these mysteries.

Suddenly, a noise was heard from behind the twisting bushes of Eshghe, and Opaline Arcana had to get out of his thoughts.
Opaline opened her wings and flew towards the bushes of lvy. That's when she bumped into a small green thing with blue eyes, a baby dragon.
Young Opaline Arcana sat down on the ground and looked at the little dragon. The dragon's lovely blue eyes caused something to stir in Opaline's heart. A beautiful and rare feeling that gave her a good feeling.
Opalin picked up the little dragon and looked her friend over and smiled kindly.

:" Hello little one. I'm Opaline. Who are you?"
The dragon was looking at Opaline and making lovely noises. Opaline looked at the Ivy bushes and then at the bright purple body and blue eyes of the dragon.

:" I call you Ivy. My little Ivy."

Opaline looked into the eyes of the little dragon. She really liked them. Opaline was lost in her thoughts when suddenly the little dragon started to cry and Opaline was there when she realized that Ivy was hungry.

"Okay. Okay, I'll go get you some food. Wait here."

Opaline put Ivy behind the bush and ran to the dining room. Evie was her only friend and she needed help.

Opaline opened the refrigerator door, took some cookies from a container and quickly returned to Ivy.

:" Come eat my little one. 》

Opaline watched Ivy happily eat.
And then she flew to her room.

It was forbidden to bring any kind of pet to the orphanage under any circumstances, but Opaline did not want to leave the little dragon who was an orphan just like her. She had a great plan, probably a great plan.

While Opaline was busy finding a place for her little dragon, the two ponies were talking

: "What do you think, Tia? You don't like her, do you? This could end very badly for her ..》

Tia sighed and looked at Sophia, it's true that she hated Opaline but there was no reason for her to do this. But...

:" Okay. It's okay. Recently, I feel that he has been communicating with my sister a lot and I don't like this."

Sofia smiled and the plan started from that moment.

Opaline pulled out a small box from her wardrobe and put some clean tissues and a doll pillow in it, she put the box in a hidden corner behind her bed and looked at Ivy.

:" You're just like me. Single. Lonely and... cute. I'm glad to see you my little dragon."

It was at that time that fire came out of the mouth of the armored ivy and was thrown towards Opaline, causing a part of the carpet to catch fire. Opaline quickly spread her wings to contain the fire but there was something strange about it, she felt no burning heat.
, the fire did no harm to Opaline and was instead absorbed by Opaline's twisted horn and a moment later Opaline began to glow. cutie mark Opaline had finally earned her cutie mark. Two blue flames like wings and a pink crystal that looked a lot like a horn. Opaline couldn't believe she had finally gotten what she wanted more than anything. But... what did her cutie mark really mean?
It was then that a strange smoke caught Opaline's attention, smoke coming from the barn. Opaline quickly jumped out the window and flew to the warehouse.

No one had noticed the smoke until Opaline arrived, and Opaline was the first to arrive, which was highly suspicious. Opaline opened the barn door with her poison and ran inside, but that was when the smoke increased and the barn door was locked for a few moments.
Opaline looked around with fear and noticed a large device among the smokes, they were not fire smoke, they were artificial smokes to fool Opalin. It was Sophia's plan for Opaline to turn her into a little saboteur. Opaline's eyes fell on the small window of the barn and quickly opened it, it was just a plan, a plan for her.
Opaline jumped out of the barn window and sat on the ground, but that's when she caught sight of a group of ponies watching her with angry looks.

:" I will explain. I... I just.. I saw the smoke and..》

:" No need to explain, Opaline. We saw everything.》

:" What? No. You didn't see it. I didn't do it. 》

:" Why Opaline. This fire is completely your fault."

Opaline looked worriedly at all the nurses and ponies gathered around her, there was no evidence to prove her innocence. Opaline was completely trapped.
Just then, Sofia entered and took the ivy from her back.

:" Look. Here is the proof. It is quite clear that Opaline set fire to the barn with this dragon. And if this is not enough, I have to say that bringing pets to the orphanage is prohibited and declared illegal."

Opaline looked at the crowd and said

:" Well, I was in the warehouse myself. If I was supposed to do this, I would have burned myself in the fire. 》

Celestia laughed and pointed to Opaline's back

:" So what is this? Cutie mark of fire. Right? Admit it, Opaline, you didn't burn in the fire and all these events were your fault. Martha is no longer there to defend you.》

:" What? I have a fire cutie mark, but.. But.. Hey Vaista, what do you mean it's not Martha?"

Celestia smiled wickedly.

:" Martha has gone to Canterlot from here. She doesn't work here anymore. Today is her last day of work in Skyros."

No, that wasn't true. Opaline couldn't believe that the only person who loved her was gone.
Opaline was completely alone now. completely alone But there were things that needed to be revealed, many things.

And there was only one solution...

Next part: Flame of loneliness
> Flame of loneliness
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opaline Arcana looked around, there were 10 minutes left to Canterlot, and the scenery outside was green and beautiful. Opaline had never left Skyros, or even Florida, and was fascinated by it all the way.
Everywhere looked really beautiful and lovely.
Lush trees, fountains and a big palace that looked beautiful even from a distance due to its bright colors stood out in front of Opaline's eyes.
About half an hour later, Opaline arrived at her destination, the small and beautiful house of Starsuel. The new family of Luna and Tia.
Of course, Opaline was not adopted, she wanted to discover the secrets and secrets of the events that happened during these few days. Opaline quickly got out of the carriage and the secret part where she was hiding and started towards the city center.

The first case: suspicious author or mysterious subscription.

The only place Opaline could get enough information from was the Great Library of Canterlot, a place she had always dreamed of going.

The Kontrollat library was large and full of thousands of bookshelves, the bookshelves were on top of each other and contained more than 10,000 books. Opp went to the desk where the librarian was there, smiled and said
:" Hello. Excuse me, I had a question. Do you have a book called...?"

:" Yes, how about the young lady?"

:" Do you have any information about the author of the book?"

:" Well... yes, almost the author's name is Mariana Arcana, and after that book there were no other books. We only know that she is married and changed her last name to Arcana because of her husband. How? Are you a fan of her books?"

:" I.. my mother always read her book to me. You know...》

Opaline didn't continue, the memory of Martha was still in Opaline's mind, but there was something more than these words and it hurt Opaline's heart.

:" Are you okay? Do you want help?"

:" No thanks, I have to go. Just tell me first that an author named Marita Stefan has several books."

:" Oh. A lot. The book of love wars, Pegasus unicorn, positive energy, happiness together and... I suggest you read all his books. 》

"Thank you, madam..."

"I'm Emilia."

"Thank you, Miss Emilia."

Opaline left the library of her dreams and headed towards the park, how many puzzles were left?

So, about the spark inside the cutie mark display: case closed.

Marta's absence: preparation for retirement or going to a better place
File status: closed

Opaline not being accepted as a child:?
Case status: Unsolved

Mysterious subscription to the song of the books: it is not known in full. Little information available.
File status: incomplete, being resolved

Why were Marina's books so few and Marita Stephen's books so many? And yet, there were many similarities in the books?

Marina... Marita Stefan... Stefan? Merita Stephen? Or... maybe Martha Stephen?
Stefan was Marta's surname and a rare surname.
It is possible that...

Little Opaline Arkana had learned to read and write earlier than her age, and she could do it easily.
Opaline approached the purple drawer and opened the yellow notebook.
Very detailed specifications were written in the notebook.

Opaline took a cursory look at the file, she hadn't read anything yet that...

:" Come out of the file room right now. 》

Opaline ran to the library.  She had read some of Martha's files Two yearsago, so could her guess be right? Martha, her beloved Martha used to be a writer.

Opaline hurriedly opened the large glass door of the library and the loud noise of the door made the ponies who were studying angry. Ignoring them, Opaline ran to Emilia and yelled

:" Excuse me, Martha, what? Martha, do you know Stephen?"

Emilia laughed softly and answered Opaline 

: ""She used to work here when she was younger. Her full name is Meritas. She's a writer."》

Opaline couldn't believe that her beloved author was her kind-hearted and kind nurse. Marta Stefan was a famous writer and favorite nurse of Opaline Arkana. Maybe this was the best and happiest news in the world for Opaline.


The night had come and Opaline was lying under the park bench and was staring at the sky through the seams and holes of the bench that were probably created due to being old and watching the stars and other objects in the sky.

:" That's Saturn. That's Mars... Hey, it has a trailing star. How big is the moon tonight...》

Month. Luna Luna was the only friend that Opaline had, although maybe this was what Luna was showing and in fact she had nothing in common with her sister.
A cold wind blew in the air, but Opaline didn't feel any cold. She was a fire  alicorn, an elkhorn that resisted all these things: hot fire, cold, blizzard, and storm... But there was something Opaline had no resistance to, a feeling that many experienced, a feeling That was never pleasant. A feeling that had changed many creatures, a strange but familiar feeling...

Not far away, in a large cottage, a pink unicorn with a blue mane was lying on her bed, thinking of her little pony that she had left yesterday.

The sun had cast its beautiful and warm light on the earth and a new morning had begun. Opaline Arcana woke up and it took her a few moments to realize that she had fallen asleep under the same couch. Opaline had no place to sleep, she preferred to sleep under the benches than to live in an orphanage for the rest of her life. This was Canterlot, the city of royal ponies, and surely someone would be found to help him. Opaline was in these thoughts when suddenly two elkhorns who held their heads high and walked proudly passed in front of the park. Maybe Opaline should satisfy Starsuel  to adopt her as a child. This was the only way. Opaline ran towards Ona and Tia and yelled

:"Luna. Tia. I'm Opalin. Oh, wait."

Opaline jumped behind the sisters and greeted her, but to her surprise, the two sisters gave her a strange look, raised their heads, and then turned away from Opaline.
This was really a strange scene, especially about Luna.
Opaline Arcana suddenly spread her wings to fly a little in desperation

:"she's...she's an Alcorn. She's the same alicorn that set fire to the barn of Skyros' lonely orphanage. She's the Opaline Arcana."

All the ponies were making strange noises as if they were scared and shocked to see Opaline.

It took some time for Opaline to finally distance herself from the crowd and reach the same park again.
She couldn't believe that even Luna had left her and now she was completely alone and the interesting thing was that everyone knew her. But this issue was not interesting for Opaline at all, this was the meaning of being loved and being friends. The reaction that those ponies showed to Opaline was contempt, and Opalin felt it and something was squeezed in her heart.

:" No. I don't cry. I am the fire alicorn, the most powerful and the best elkhorn. Yes, that's right. I won't perish in the fire, snow and cold have no effect on me. They must understand that I am strong and powerful. I am great and I deserve the best. I... Am I really strong or...》
Opaline paused and sighed.

:" No, I'm really dangerous and... worthless... no... I'm strong, but... maybe.."

Just then, the sound of the crowd of ponies was heard, which could be heard from nearby.
Opalin quickly made her way through the crowd and noticed a small hut burning, Starswell's. Luna and Thea were in the hut and Starsuel had gone to the center of Canterlot for a meeting and no one could do anything. Opalin looked around, there was a small cloak next to the barn, she sneaked there and entered the hut after wearing the cloak and casting a spell on it.

In a corner of the hut that looked healthy, the young Alcorn lay unconscious on the ground, breathing slowly. Opalin quickly reached them and placed them both in a protective bubble, after which she began to put out the fire. A moment later, the smoke and flames subsided and Opalin ran towards the sisters who were still unconscious but...
He was a hero, he had saved the sisters and put out the fire, something only a fire elk can do, or maybe...
Opalin started chanting a spell and then went out of the small window facing the back of the hut, but she still couldn't hide herself from the people.

:" Look at that... that's Opalin Arcana. Be sure to take it."

With her cutie mark shining, Opalin increased the speed of her wings and flew with all her might. She didn't even know where she was going, but in that situation, nothing was important to Opalin. She was alone and always will be.

In Canterlot, news of the fire had spread everywhere, the culprit being Opalin Arcana and the saviors Tia and Luna. The spell that Opalin had cast was a replacement spell and the sisters thought they had extinguished the fire themselves and that they had fainted because of how strong the magic was.
This was what accelerated the popularity of the sisters.

Outside of Canterlot and not too far from Skyros and Florida, there was a forest, a forest that few had been to.
After a few hours of flight, Opalin landed in the dark forest that was the same forest. The moonlight was bright and beautiful, and right in front of Opalin, a large castle with a tree protruding from it appeared.

> A satellite for love

Many years had passed. A lot of years.
Opaline Arcana was now an alicorn with an age of almost a thousand years. It had been about 100 years since the royal sisters retired and now Princess Twilight Sparkle was the new ruler of Equestria and our fiery purple Alcorn was well aware of this. Of course, there were many other things she should know.

Princess Twilight Sparkle had established a great university for lovers of astronomy, and that day was the entrance exam day of Holly University, and Opaline Arcana was also planning to take the entrance exams. Of course, completely anonymously, which was not a problem for her at all. All these years, Opaline presented herself as a unicorn to the society and chose the fake name Rebecca Arcana for herself. Opaline could easily take the exams and pass. The good thing about this university was that it was completely free and this was considered a winning card for Opaline.

Opaline wore a light pink cape and combed her hair, it was important for her to look beautiful. really important
A few minutes later, Opaline was standing facing the university and looking at the huge queue in front of her, when suddenly ...

:"Wow, I'm sorry madam. I...Wow...Hi..》

The blue male pegasus was facing Opaline and what caught Opaline's attention the most was his cutie mark.

:" Excuse me, what is your name? My name is James Web. James Web is Star Moon Arcana. You can call me James Arcana. Star Moon is my surname and my mother's surname.》

Opaline looked at Jemiz's feet and then said with an embarrassed expression

:" I... my name is... Rebecca. It's nice to meet you."

:" It's a beautiful name. Do you want to take a tour until the queue is quiet? Are you new? 》

:" Um... almost."

Jemiz pointed forward with his pillow and then walked behind Opaline's head.

On his way, James told Twilight, Celestia, and Luna about the defeat of evil and the triumph of friendship, and how upset he was about the three famous villains. Now, Opaline's information had already increased and maybe she could do something so that she would be the next ruler of Equestria.

Suddenly, James glanced at Opaline and said: "Ummm... Rebecca. Would you like to come to the cafe with me?"

Opaline blushed and nodded in agreement.
She couldn't describe her feeling, but she was happy and relaxed, so that she wanted to be with James all the time and talk to her. A special and lovely feeling that she had not experienced for years.

The cool and perfect air made Opaline feel better for flying. She loved flying under the clouds and starlight. She looked at James and lowered her head.

:" Um... James. The weather is very nice today. I would like to fly like you and... 》

Opaline did not continue, her request was completely stupid. But as if James had a different opinion and idea.

:" Do you want me to make you fly? Would you like me to show you? It's one of my inventions and I hope you like it."

"Invention? Really?"

"Yes, come on, come on."

Opaline didn't know what James was going to show her, but she hoped it would be something completely different and special.
A little later, Opaline arrived at an area where there were many semi-built airplanes and strange small devices, telescopes, etc. James walked over to a large device covered in a white cloth.

:" This is you and this is the best and newest plane in the world, Starob plane. It uses fire to fly, but it is charged by sunlight. What do you think?"
Opaline asked: "With fire? For example, like a fireplace..."

:"Yeah, sort of. Imagine a balloon. Almost like that.》 Then he smiled and motioned for Opaline to get on. Opaline sat down in the chair next to James and a few minutes later she was above the clouds, right above them.

:"James, this is wonderful. You are speechless."
"I know. We are going to do something practical for the university competition. I am really stressed."

Just at that moment, a gust of wind hit Opaline's channel and Opaline's wings appeared for a moment.

:" Rebecca? You.. you.. ?"

Opaline gave a nervous laugh and quickly teleported herself to the university, just as the line had really shortened.

From that day on, Opaline did not see James, but she knew that James had passed the entrance exams like her and was studying at the same university, and that was what worried Opaline. What made Opaline's final decision.
Two weeks later, Opaline was standing in the university yard for James to come out of her class. The university competition was in two months and everything had to be fixed quickly.
Opaline magically arranged her hair and tightened her pink cloak and waited for James.
Just two minutes later, James appeared in front of Opaline with a more well-groomed appearance than ever, and there was a certain peace in his eyes. Opaline sighed and started walking with James.

"I'm really sorry for that day."

:" No problem. I understand. You have a secret, right? You..》

:" You don't have a problem with me, do you? Do you promise to remain my friend after knowing this secret?"

:" Oh, yes, sure. Wait, friend? Really?"

"Yeah. You're... my first and only friend... or at least that's what I think," Opaline sighed.
Opaline looked around the hands. Actually, there were many things that should be told to James. Opaline took a deep breath and continued: "I... my real name is Opaline Arcana. I'm a fire elkhorn and... I grew up in Skyros Orphanage in Florida, but..." James doesn't allow Opaline to speak. finish but as ifHe had no problem with these words and on the contrary, he seemed completely happy and excited.

:" You... are you Opaline Arcana? The same Alcorn of Fire who ran away from the orphanage and was never heard from again? You... my favorite character." Opaline couldn't believe it, does James know her? She is so popular. Was?

: "So ... you don't have a problem with her? James."

:" Absolutely. You are the cutest person in the world." After saying this, James's blue face took on a strange color and looked pink.
Opaline laughed and opened the cloak and told James with the movement of her body that she wanted to fly.

James and Opaline flew through the sky for long hours, jumping on clouds and joking with each other, and for the first time Opaline didn't feel alone. The feeling inside Opaline was different. A feeling full of peace and too much friendship...

There were not more than two weeks left until the university competition, and Opaline's dates with James made it more difficult. Last week, James had introduced Opaline to his family and said that Opaline was his friend, but not an ordinary friend. James loved Opaline, he was in love with her.

There were individual or two-person competitions, but students helped each other in building space equipment. Opaline and James's idea was a different satellite, working separately but perfectly coordinated. They were the same group, but each had a separate project that was completely related to each other. None of them could succeed without the other.
That afternoon, Opaline and James went for a break between work at the Grand Cascade Park, which was usually a place of recreation for newlyweds. Opaline looked at James and said: "Hey, do you think James will win our project?"
"Yes, how about it?"
:" Just... you know, my heart is broken... I want to be successful, I want... everyone to love me."

:" You know, not every love is right, Opaline. Just like fast food, which is delicious and cool, but at the same time, it's harmful and bad. Love knows like that, sometimes good and sometimes bad. You just need to find the best."
Opaline laughed. James was really sweet and that was exactly what made him endearing to Opaline.
Opaline lowered her head as her thoughts drifted back to her past, those negative thoughts had returned, driving Opaline towards revenge.
Suddenly, a strange warmth filled Opaline's being, a warmth that was completely familiar to her.

"Hey, you're not alone. I promise."
Opaline laughed, maybe she really wasn't alone.

The university was full of groups that had exhibited their projects for the competition and were waiting for the judges to give their projects points. One of these groups was Love Satellite Group, Opaline Group and Arcana Gems, which had a great chance to win.
Opaline's group had been working on a project that was very similar to satellites, only with a different purpose.

When the judges arrived at James and Opaline's table, they saw two small satellite-like robots with similar names: Mars 1 and Mars 2. Opaline explained in a soft voice: "The purpose of these satellites is to go to the moon and research about it, and of course it has the ability to return to the earth. I think that instead of a satellite, it can be called a spacecraft or a space probe. Space probes Mars 1 and 2.

James continued: "It uses fuel to move like space rockets, but it stores and uses energy from the sunlight to return. It also has the ability of location and returns right to the same country as planned."
As if James and Opaline's project talks had influenced the judges too much, they had never seen a project that was considered for that capability. The James and Opaline project won the Halley University competition on March 1 and 2 and was awarded the best satellite (space probe) award.
After finishing the competition and holding the final party just when everyone was celebrating and dancing, Opaline and James slowly moved away from the crowd and sat under the shade of a big tree. James threw his blue wing around Opaline and they both stared at the sky, the sky they both loved.
Just a few minutes later, a small red box came out from under James's wing, a box with a beautiful golden ring in its heart....

Next part: Unity crystals
> Unity Chrystal

The hot summer of Equestria arrived, a summer that was more balanced than other summers thanks to Princess Twilight and of course Celestia and Luna. Something that increased Opaline's motivation for revenge. Two years have passed since she and James graduated from university and got engaged. Opaline had drawn many plans in these years to prove that it was needed and important for Equestria and the government.
Opaline had many options running through her mind, and one of the best options was what the three old villains had done, separating the three pony races from each other.

That morning Opaline appeared in the city in a black cloak and completely anonymous to start the first step of her evil plan.
First step: earth ponies 

Just a few steps away near the cafe, some ground horses were sitting around the table and talking. The best opportunity for Opaline was at that time. Opaline threw her cloak around her head and moved towards them.

:"Ah, you. How can you talk to each other 
here in the unicorn cafe without any stress? I think you don't know anything, right?"
Opaline smiled and at that moment the 

yellow pony asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Opaline stared at the ponies and sighed

:"Unicorns don't want your products anymore, they prefer to supply their own ingredients and prefer fast food instead of fruit."

Although Opaline did not know today's fast food, she had noticed the popularity of this food among ponies and even she had tried it several times.

The orange horse laughed: "Are you serious? No?"

Opaline pointed to the cafe and answered: "This is the example."

A few ponies got up suspiciously, and Opaline's plan to move away from the cafe had almost worked, and to continue it, she had to deceive the rest of the ponies and keep Twilight's friends away from Equestria so that she could sit on the throne of Equestria in her place. As she was looking for unicorns and an excuse to fool them, a voice behind her knocked her to the ground.

:" hey . My cute fire.》

It was James's pony. James always called Opaline by that name, and Opaline never had a problem with it, it reminded her of Martha. It was just a little different.

Opaline smiled: "Is something wrong, Jemiz?"

:" I just wanted to say... instead of two months from now, the wedding... should be held in about three months, the preparations will take a little longer and... you know.."
Opaline was not surprised and there was no frown or sadness on her face. Postponing the wedding made it easier for her, she had to spend about a month on her plan to fool the other ponies and then introduce the reason for all of them to Twilight Sparkle's reign. It was a big plan, a completely evil plan but a successful one.

:"Hey it's no problem. We can wait right? Nothing will stop us. We're always together."
Opaline wrapped her hoof around James's neck and gave him a warm smile, she wanted to spend more time with James but he had really important things to do, he would soon be the ruler of Equestria. Of course, with the removal of Twilight Sparkle.


 
Opaline Arcana was facing the bright purple elkhorn and both of them had bright and powerful horns.
Opaline's wings and horns glowed pink and blue and Twilight Sparkle stood alone facing Opaline, they were ready to battle and duel magic.

:" Heh. It's better to give up, princess. With this little mischief among the ponies, no one is on your side, and as you can see, I have stronger magic."

:" You have stronger magic because you stole magic. 》

:" Maybe. Maybe I have improved my magic in my own style, but what you are saying is not true at all. Well, it is still not true.》

Opaline  flew towards the princess and shot a beam at her.

:" If you surrender, I promise I will let you help in the affairs of the palace, but otherwise... you will become an ordinary and poor pony."

"Did you think that money and position are important to me? Did you think that power is important to me? Friendship is important. Love and its family are important."
Hearing these words, Opaline's thoughts returned to Martha and Luna. She had no friends, no family, but she was an Alcorn and deserved to rule all of Equestria. She deserved to be respected by all people.

:" I grew up without family and friends.
I can continue without these..》

At that moment, a voice was heard from below

Opaline dear, please stop. Princess please..》

Opalin looked at James standing on a rock and teleported James a little further away using magic.
Opaline's horn began to glow again, but this time the beam went away and returned to itself, but without a moment's pause, it rose. .

After what happened to the three villains, Twilight couldn't hurt Opaline. She didn't want to stone Opaline or leave her in the moon for thousands of years. What Twilight felt inside Opaline was strong, something that was unlike anything she had imagined a positive and incredibly bright light, a special spark right in the heart of the fire alicorn that stood before her. There was only one way left for Twilight, surrender. Of course, a failure of the position and a short success for Opaline so that Twilight has enough time to execute and plan her plans. She looked at Opaline and the glow of her horn faded, and just hours later, the Fiery Alcorn was in the main hall of the palace and on Twilight Sparkle's royal chair. She had succeeded. She had reached her goal.
In fact, both of them won this war.

Just three days after the Princess's defeat and Opaline Arcana's victory, Princess Twilight was busy completing her own project. If Opaline's true desire was to destroy magic and separate the other ponies, she had a plan, a plan that went against Opaline's goals for Equestria. It was needed, a mapWhat caused the evolution and growth of Equestria is to store all the magic in three special crystals that were made using the remaining particles of the elements of harmony. The crystals that showed the unity and empathy of the ponies and creatures with each other, the crystals that worked on that basis, the crystals that were called the Unity Crystal.
Twilight sighed and looked at the other princesses, she had to do it. Because of Equestria and maybe Opaline.

"Like I said, these crystals store the magic of other ponies and we set the time. But it's not like that for us, but we use our magic to complete the crystals and... I, Cadence We were not Alicorn from the beginning and we are not immortal, but you and Fleury are immortal, but by doing this, you will become like us, are you willing to take this risk? Besides all this, we are magically placed in these crystals, where everything including the moon rise And the sun and the seasons should be done automatically so that there is no problem. Do you want to help?》
All the princesses nodded in agreement, they had to, for Equestria's sake and maybe Opaline's.

The palace doors opened and the dark blue Pegasus entered the main hall and looked at his beloved Alicorn.

:"I can't believe you were a shadow pony. How could you?"

"Oh, my dear James, I had to. I'm an Alicorn and I have a royal position, and so do you. It's for both of us."

Opaline walked over to James and threw her pillow around him and leaned her head on James's.

:" How about a wedding this weekend? I will tell the guards to prepare things. I am the ruler here now and everything is ready for me."

:" I wanted to talk about this. You have changed a lot, Opaline."

"Don't worry, James, everyone changes, right?"

:"Yes, but you... have become arrogant and you are no longer my lovely Opaline."

:" Wait, what? What do you mean? You... don't want to...

Opaline had not finished speaking when a voice was heard from outside the palace.

:" I'm back and I'm ready to face you Opaline Arcana and this time I'm ready."

Opaline went to the window and saw Twilight Sparkle standing with the crystals facing the door of the palace.

:" For example, what do you want to do? To injure me with those crystals, right?"

"No, but I can do what you want to do in my own way."

Twilight lifted the crystals with the help of the remaining magic of her substance and they began to glow. The magic of the earth ponies sank into the white crystal, the magic of the unicorns disappeared into the blue triangular crystal, and the magic of the pegasus disappeared into the winged crystal, and just a few seconds later The pink magic that had the blue color in it moved towards all three crystals and divided into all three.

:" You don't have magic anymore, Opaline, you better give up."

:" It's impossible, no one can defeat me. No one"

And if that wasn't bad enough, Opaline had to chase James away from her
And she watched the small wrapped gift she had placed by the bed.
Opaline knew she would never come back and never see James again.

Opaline was sitting alone in the darkness of the castle, looking at her magic mirror, which was actually a hologram pool. She looked at the ponies who were happier than before, but living in separate cities, and revenge was what she desired more than ever.
