Spirits of the Seasons.
So... what now?
Previous Chapter[So... what now?]
It was early in the morning and the small group of spirits were all huddled together, as soon as Celestias sun began to shine through the tree tops they started to awake from their slumber, accept for Snow who was still unconscious from the attack. Leaf was the first to recover while rubbing his eyes with his hooves to remove the sleep.
"God, I haven't slept like that in years." he yawns once before turning around to face the others. smiling slightly at the sight.
The evening they arrived at Equestria, Dawn had a small surprise for Celestia. When he sent the two back to Equestria, he had just enough energy left to pay the princess a visit.
[Earlier that evening]
Celestia was pacing in her room, why had she attacked Snow? She couldn't honestly say. All she wanted to do was protect her sister from those who meant harm. But why was she feeling jealous?
Her thoughts were interrupted by a blinding light that filled her room, once the light had faded away she was standing eye in eye with the one who she thought she would never see again. Argent Dawn.
"Ah, it's been a while since I have seen your face. How are things around here?" He asked as he move inch by inch closer to her.
"What do you want Dawn. I don't have time for this!" She yelled as she tried to teleport out of her room. But was quickly countered by Dawn himself.
"No, no. Celestia. it's not nice to teleport while you are having a conversation with one of your subjects." He mocked. "But I must say, you look more stunning then a thousand years ago."
"Stop this nonsense, Dawn." She snorted in anger. "Why are you here."
"I am merely here to tell you that the four are reunited." He replied with a his trademark grin. "You better prepare, or you might want to give them a chance to prove they aren't power hunger like you thought all those years ago."
"Maybe you are right Dawn, Maybe I need to give them a chance. BUT, if they fail, I won't even bother to banish them." she replied with a another angry snort as he could spot some smoke coming out of her nose. "Now, be gone with you. You are no longer welcome in Equestria, Argent Dawn."
Without a word he turned around and flared his horn to teleport away, not before saying; "Keep in mind that they aren't who you think they are. And also know that whatever you do, I will always be watching." After that he disappeared in a flash of light.
[back to present]
As leaf was looking at the group, Summer and flower started to stir as they opened their eyes only to close them as they were attacked by the light of Celestias sun.
"Urg, why do my eyes want to murder themselves every time I wake up?" said Summer as she rubber her eyes to seize the pain.
"I know right, like the sun hates us or something." replied a tired looking Flower also rubbing her eyes with her hoofs to remove the tiredness. Only shortly after to be met with the muzzle of Leaf, locking each other in a kiss.
"Aww, aint that sweet." said Summer as she looks at the still snoring Snow next to her, But she still couldn't believe why Celestia would do something like this. All we did was something we did all those Eons, Controlling the seasons so everything would go smoothly.
Not a moment later the three spirits were interrupted by a groan coming from Snow who tried to sit up. Summer quickly runs to his side to support him as he sits down. he slowly moves his left hoof over his chest and winches as he accidentally presses to hard on the wound. All Flower and Leaf could do was watching him, wondering what had happened to him.
"Summer, what happened to him." asked Leaf as he looks at snows chest.
"It was Celestia, after our escape from the Elemental plain we entered the throne room where Celestia and the Elements of Harmony were waiting for us. They attacked us but the elements only banish those with evil within their hearts, so they were useless. After a short moment we were reunited with Luna. I couldn't be more happier then that but then Celestia made the biggest mistake in her life, She shot Snow in the chest with her magic. I could see the anger and fear in her eyes when we were talking to Luna like we were going to eat her or something, but the moment Snow hit the ground something snapped inside of me, after that I just teleported away." After Summer was done all she could do was hug Snow, who accepted the hug without second thought.
"Oh god. *cough* what happened, all I remember talking to Luna before something hot hit me." Snow said as he breaks the hug with Summer. He looks up and spots Leaf and Flower.
"Oh, hey Leaf, Flower..." then realization hit him "Leaf! Flower! Your back." he practically yelled as he pulled them in a back breaking hug. "When did this happen?" he asks as he continues to hug them.
"Well to make a long story short, we were banished to a planet named earth where we lived for like 30 years until Argent Dawn helped up." Leaf explains as he tries to escape the bear hug. "All in all Snow, can you please release us!" Flower yelled.
Soon after Snow releases them he chuckles lightly, before once again realization hit him right on the back of his head. "Wait you were helped by Argent Dawn?! Like in THE Argent Dawn?!" he said in excitement while jumping up and down with his wound totally forgotten.
"Yes, Snow. THE Argent Dawn. he helped us regain our memories before sending us back here." Flower explains. "We own him our lives."
[Ponyville, train station.]
While the Spirits tell stories about how things were going during their banishment. The Elements of Harmony returned in Ponyville, Twilight was the first to leave the train. she was still trying to figure out why all this happened.
"Girls, Why do I have this feeling that spirit didn't deserve to be attacked. And did you see Luna? In all my years I've never seen her so upset." Twilight said as the group of mares walked through Ponyville.
"I know what you mean darling, I also can't get the look Luna gave Celestia out of my head." Rarity replied.
"Uh... I hope that stallion is ok..." Fluttershy said in her ever shy tone.
"Girls if they weren't dangerous then why were they Banished?" Interrupted Rainbow with her hooves crossed over her chest. "If you ask me we might be better off without those spirits."
"Holt it right there Rainbow, what do ya even know about them?" said Applejack as she raises and eyebrow towards the cyan Pegasus. Who stayed silent after. "That's what Ah thought. But Twilight, do ye think there is a book about them?"
"I honestly can't say Applejack, but it is worth a shot." Twilight replied. "Let's go everypony! we've got research to do!" After that the group of mares run towards the large tree known as the Golden Oak Library.
[Somewhere unknown]
"Would you look at that! They are already gaining allies, even if they don't know it themselves." said an unknown shadow as it watches both groups through a mirror. " This is going to be so much fun!"
