The Guardian Chronicles

Sweetie belle ran as fast as she could trying to keep up with her sister and the little aura she had possession of. After a few seconds of running she looked down to me and asked, "can you explain why spike came back from the dead?".

"Yea" I replied. "You see, spike and I decided to become auras. When we died in our original life we were given an option to return to earth. But we would have to guard a pony for their entire life. We are normally brought down when we are needed the most but on occasion we are reincarnated early. Like I was".

"Ok" she said. "But why were they glowing?". "When the aura meets his/her pony the thing that makes the pony unique begins to glow. Like rarity's horn like you saw" I replied.

"What about earth ponies?" She asked. "I think just their cutie marks glow" I said back. Sweetie belle's expression seemed to dampen. "Hey, you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's just... I don't have my cutie mark yet" she replied.

"Well you're just a filly, there's still plenty of time to get your cutie mark. I don't see why there so important though. I mean, I'm a diamond dog so I'll never have one but I know they're for and I'd rather have no cutie mark than a bad one. Like, just today I saw a filly with a spoon as a cutie mark. I mean really!? A spoon?!" I said. Sweetie belle showed a little smile and giggled a bit.

We eventually reached a huge tree which was even big to an average pony. We saw rarity heading for the door and caught up with her. Rarity fling the door open and ran inside followed by me and sweetie belle. Inside was Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.

When rainbow saw me in sweetie's hands I waved at her. Then, she focused her attention to rarity like the other girls.

"Rarity! What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "It's not what's wrong twilight. It's what's right, great, it's a miracle!" She shouted. "What do you mean?" Twilight said confused. Rarity put her covered hands in front of twilight's face and opened them. Spike who was blinded by the light eventually got his sight back and stared up into the eyes of the purple pony. A huge smile spread across his face as he lunged at her and shouted "TWILIGHT!". He wrapped his arms around her neck the best he could and hugged her.

"SPIKE! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Twilight cried. She hugged him back lightly so she wouldn't crush him as a few tears fell from her eyes. "Rarity, where did you find him?" Twilight asked.

"I didn't find him" rarity replied. She them turned and pointed at me. "Travis is the one who found him". Twilight walked over to me and sweetie belle, spike in hand, couched down, and said, "Travis, thank you. You reunited me with someone very special in my life".

"It's no problem twilight, spike and I were best friends since we became auras so I was going to find him anyway no matter what". Then I turned to spike and said, "but we still need to find the others" I said. "Others?" Applejack said. "There's more of yah?"  Spike looked like he had just remembered something or made a crazy realization. He looked at me and motioned for me to come in close. I leaned in and he whispered something that made my ears drop. The girls leaned in close attempting to hear what we were saying. I looked at applejack and back to spike. "Should I tell her?" I asked. "Tell me what?" Applejack said. Spike nodded and I turned to applejack. "Applejack? Did you lose your brother in a harvesting accident?" I asked. She looked as if her heart was about to stop. "H- how did ya'll know that?" She stuttered. "Because..." I said. "Big Mac's alive".
