Morning had came and Blizzard laid asleep in the shack among
the shadows. The sunlight shined brightly through the small window.
Blizzard opened his eyes and yawned, then he stood up. He took
his dark blue cloak from the corner, leaving his leg wrapping
and quickly put the cloak on. Then he left the shack and stood
looking at the trees blowing.
"I should report to Teriney. It's been awhile since I have
last reported to him," Blizzard thought. He didn't like
the thought of returning home and having the fear he would anger
Teriney.
He turned into a cluster of snowflakes and flew through the forest.
He flew fast and far till he reached the gate. Blizzard returned
to his pony form in front of the gate. He slipped his hood over
his head and began walking through the gate.
Once he reached the other side, he suddenly stopped, to his
surprise there was a group of soldiers in armor wearing swords,
ropes, nets and arrows. They were tall and muscular, towering
over Blizzard as they looked down on him. Just then a soldier
standing by the gate tried to grab him but Blizzard had moved
quickly from his reach. The other soldiers started towards him
when Blizzard spit icy darts stopping them in their tracks. Blizzard
noticed three more soldiers from the left running towards him,
then the other soldiers jumped over the darts. Blizzard ran out
of fear of getting captured, he knew Teriney would be angry with
him if he was caught. As he ran a small group of soldiers left
the dirt road and walked though the thick trees. Blizzard stopped
suddenly when he saw the soldiers who were also surprised. Blizzard
looked around him, he was surrounded by soldiers.
One of the soldiers smirked at him, "We caught you now."
Blizzard suddenly he turned into a cluster of snowflakes and
flew from the mountain leaving the soldiers shocked at what they
had just seen.
"I didn't know he could do that," the soldier quickly
said.
"That's the first time I've seen him," another soldiers
said.
"How do we catch a pony like that?" another soldier
asked.
A brown with yellow and orange hair stepped forward, "We'll
have to catch him by surprise but I don't think that'll be easy.
It's morning and I want you to get some rest."
The soldiers nodded and walked past him.
The rest of the soldiers followed the brown pony to the gate.
The brown pony stopped and turned around.
"Now we wait till that ice blue pony returns," The
brown pony said.
Two soldiers stood beside the gate while the rest gathered around
the gate and waited as they looked around.
Blizzard flew from the mountain feeling relieved that they
didn't catch him. He thought it would be best not to tell Teriney
about it, Blizzard was sure he could handle them. He flew all
morning till he reached Volcano of Gloom. He landed on the cliff
at the cave entrance and returned to his pony form. He took a
deep breath hoping this time Teriney wouldn't get angry with
him.
he walked through the cave and over the lava. The stairs lead
straight towards the stony house. He opened the door and announced
his return but there was no answer. He walked down the hall towards
the kitchen thinking he might be eating but as he walked past
a few doors he heard Teriney sleeping in one of the rooms. Blizzard
knocked on the door, "Teriney, I'm back!"
A minute later he heard hoof steps then the door opened. Teriney
left his room and closed the door, standing in front of Blizzard.
"Report," Teriney ordered.
"I fought Skyview many times. I almost had Princess Luna
and was about to get ready and kill her when Skyview saved her.
I haven't seen her since and now that Skyview has returned to
the castle it'll be hard to find the Princess," Blizzard
replied.
"This is taken far to long, Blizzard. She's just a little
pony, how hard could it be to kill her? Stop wasting time and
find her," Teriney exclaimed.
"How?" Blizzard asked, "She doesn't come out at
night anymore."
"Then find her in her earth form."
"I tried, you said she's a shapshifter. She could be anyone
and I have watched every little pony in school."
"She is there, your just not looking hard enough. Now stop
wasting time in the other world and find her," Teriney paused
and glared at him, "Your not mangling with ponies or talking
to them are you?"
"N-no of course not," Blizzard lied.
"You had better not. You mind your own business and find
Princess Luna. Now get out, I want to finish my sleep."
Blizzard turned and hurried out of the house and ran across the
lava. He entered the cave and approached the light at the end,
then he stopped and rested on the cliff.
"I lied...If he found out he'll be very angry," Blizzard
paused, "I don't see the harm in talking to other ponies
or being with them," Blizzard paused, he couldn't help but
have a bad feeling when he thought of Teriney. Blizzard shook
him head, "What's wrong with me? He's my father and I'm
to obey him but still..." Why didn't Teriney not want him
to talk to other ponies or to be with other ponies? That was
the one question he wanted to know but he knew he could never
ask his father.
Night had fallen and fire flickered from the tall torches
that stood from the ground. Crickets and owls made noises through
the nights. The area around the gate was lit as the soldiers
stood guard, some played card games to keep themselves awake.
Blizzard flew to Mooney mountain in a cluster of snowflakes and
landed some distance away in the thick forest. He returned to
his pony form and stood watching them. The soldiers around the
gate could capture him if he tired to run for the gate, even
if he did get past the soldiers there would be two soldiers at
the gate to stop him. He stood and thought of a way to get past
them and knew just what he was going to do.
He turned into a cluster of snowflakes and flew swiftly towards
the soldiers.
Freezing wind and blinding snow appeared around them. The
soldiers were shocked and confused as to what was happening.
They stood up and stood trying to look around but there was nothing
they could see.
"What's happening?" a soldier asked over the roaring
sound of the wind.
"He's here!" the brown soldier answered loudly.
The soldiers tried to take a step but couldn't.
"I can't move!" a soldier cried.
"I can't either," another soldier added.
Soon all the soldiers found that they couldn't move. After a
few minutes the blizzard suddenly stopped and in the center appeared
the ice blue pony.
The soldiers tried to move but couldn't all they could do was
watch him walk through the gate.
Blizzard stopped and looked back at them. He knew they will
be there waiting for him next time, he would have to think of
another way of getting through the gate. Blizzard turned and
continued through the gate leaving the soldiers frozen to the
ground. |
