In a faraway land, in a place where magic is like no other, there was a Kingdom that was told to hold a great power of crystals that can heal any wounds or sickness of any kind. The name for this Kingdom was known as the Rose Heart Kingdom. It was ruled by a great king, noble and just, also loved by all. One day when the king passed on he decided to give the kingdom and the throne to his daughter’s Princess Crystal Rose Heart and Fuchsia.  The two shared the power of the kingdom and ruled the land with a peaceful heart. But sometimes in the most pure lands, there can be a great chaos. In the northern lands of the world, lived a kingdom ruled by an evil and vile king named King Thunder, who raged war on the Rose Heart Kingdom and caused the deaths of many brave ponies, and stallions that gave their lives to defend their homes. For days and years the two kingd0ms fought for ages and never ceased. This grieved the two sisters much, for if they lose this war, they would lose their homes and for their loyal subjects too. One night as Rose was waking in the garden of her kingdom she heard a faint cry of a young filly at the gate way.

She ran towards the entrance where she found a stallion who was badly hurt, carrying a basket and laid near it. The princess called each of her guards to see who he was, but the stallion grabbed the princess and whispered a faint word in Roses ears. As he finished saying his words, the stallion drew his last breath and closed his eyes to fall asleep, only to be never woken.  The princess walked up to the basket and pulled the covers away, only to find a little filly crying his eyes out. Rose felt a deep wound in her heart, how could somepony pass away when he has a little brother to take care of. She picked him up and discovered that he had wings, but they weren’t Pegasus wings; they were dragon wings! She hurried over to her uncle, Captain Disk Horn who automatically knew who he was. He explained that this filly was a Draconian; a rare type of species of pony and dragons mixed. They were to rule the land of Equestria and bring good luck, some bad, but the uncle wasn’t going to take that chance of having the kingdom destroyed, he order her to get rid of him , but Crystal refused and swore that she would raise him as her brother.

The uncle saw that Rose was a responsible one and sighed a bit. He said she could keep him, if only he use his powers for good and not evil. Rose swore that she would teach him and give him lessons. The uncle went to bed and Rose went to her chambers. She showed the filly draconian to her sister. The younger said that they should name him. Rose looked at him and saw he was already asleep. She then saw that he had a star of the brightest night and a shield on it.  Rose thought carefully and finally gave him the name; Star Shield. And the two sisters giggled a bit, for they also had another heir to the throne, a Prince.

***

The land of the Rose Heart Kingdom was quiet at the rising sun. The sound of the calm and gentle breeze of the wind blowing with the sweet scent of flowers match the beauty of the morning. But sometimes there can be a little noise in the kingdom. Star Shield was in the barracks up early training with his uncle Disk Horn, who was giving him tips on how to form a saber from his horn and use it as a sword.

“Gasp! This is too much for me uncle; can I stop for just a little while?” Star complained as he turned to his uncle who was blowing smoke from his pipe in his mouth.

No, we can’t. We must get you ready for battle one day, so try again,” Disk Horn alleged as he took his pipe from his mouth and blew a little smoke ring in the air.

“But I’ve been practicing since dawn. When is this going to end?” Star said as he stomp his hoof on a wooden dummy.

“Boy, we’ve only been practicing for two minutes!” Disk Horn grunted as he put his pipe in his mouth.

“Really, wow! It feels like we’ve been doing this for an hour,”  Star now realizing that. His uncle got up from his seat and walked over to Star.

“Listen here Star. Have a seat; I want to tell you something,” Disk Horn alleged as he led Star to a table and sat down.

“I’ve known you since you were a little filly, and it’s been an honor to see you grow up as a young, responsible draconian. But I need you to focus. We’ve been in war for at least five years and we need all the help we can get. I’m doing this so that you can be ready to defend your home against evaders. Your sisters have more responsibility’s to do as well, being princess’s and all, but you’re next to rule as well. Can you understand what I’m saying to you?” Disk asked as he looked straight onto Star’s eyes.

“Look I know what I have to do, but I’m just not ready for that. Can you understand?” Star answered his uncle. Disk Horn scratches his beard and sighed a bit.

“Did I tell you the time when I was just like you?” Disk questioned to Star, who looked surprised.

“There was a time, when you were like me?” Star said as he widened his eyes in amazement.

“Yeah, I was just like you.  I was too young, to shy, and had a lot of inexperienced.” He laughed a bit when Star objected that comment. Disk continued to talk. “But then my father told me something, he said that we all have things and duty’s we need to do, some are good others bad, but we need to realize that we need to act up and stand firm. Even if they do seem rough, we need to act up; I know your father did,” Disk commented and gave Star a moment to realize it to. Then the two were interrupted by a messenger who came into the barracks.

“Excuse me Captain and my lord, but Crystal Rose Heart demands the captain to see her immediately,” The messenger announced.

“Well, I better go and see what your sister wants. Probably want to chew my head off again about having you sent down here too early to train,” Disk grunted and got up. “Think about what I said Star, in the meantime; practice you sword and shape up on your studying, I know you can learn how to do I,.” Disk finally said and departed the barrack room. Star looked outside the barrack window and looked at the kingdom.

“If only I knew how to rule a kingdom. But I’m sure that I can do it,” Star said and heard the clock tower ring, and knew that he was a dead pony today. “Oh man I forgot about the flying lessons with Fuchsia at Cherry hill, man; uncles got me training so much that I forget to do my other duty’s!” Star complained and ran out the barrack quickly to meet with his sister. He ran as fast as he can and took flight off the ground. The way how the wind was blowing in his face was so great that he felt free. He saw his sister waiting impatiently for him and Star flew fast as a rocket. Fuchsia Sparkle was on the top of the hill and was still waiting for her brother.

“Hey Fuchsia! Up here!” Star shouted and landed right next to her.

“Star, were you training with uncle again at the barracks?” Fuchsia asked.

“You have no idea what training he is putting me through,” Star answered.

“Right, well today I want to put your skill to the test. I want you to fly to the border of our land and back before sundown, then I’ll let Rose know that you’re ready to fly by yourself,” Fuchsia ordered.

“Still treating me like I’m a baby? Star questioned.

“Well, it’s only the last day of your flying test, might as well get started,” Fuchsia said.

“Okay, before sundown? Alright then, I’ll do it for you and for Rose in a flash,” He alleged.

Hey Star, is that you? I’m coming down.” A voice shouted above them.

“Well, hello Fuchsia, how are you doing?” A Pegasus named Shade Tail asked as he landed next to Star.

“Well, if it isn’t Shade, great you can help Star keep track of his timing,” Fuchsia ordered.

“Yes mam!” Shade shouted.

“Now if you excuse me, I have to meet up with uncle and sister in the throne room,” And after that Fuchsia flew off.

“Wow that was weird. So you ready?” Shade asked Star as he spread his wing open.

‘Lest do this, then friend,” Star alleged and the two of them flew up and dashed to the mountain. The two of them were having a blast and also were writing down mistakes to re-do and go over. As they got to the mountain by almost sundown the sky turned gray a little and the wind was a little rough to keep still.

“Yo Star! I think a storm is brewing, let’s get back now that we reached this mountain,” Shade yelled as he covered his eyes from the gust.

“Yeah okay-! Wait Shade look down there!” Star pointed and saw what looks like a village that was burned down.

“Lest go down and see if anypony is alright,” Star shouted to Shade and the two ascended down from the sky. As they approached the ground they saw that this was the village of Rainbow valley.

“What the hay happened here?” Shade asked as he picked up a piece of a burnt scroll.

“I think what happened here was done by something big.” Star said as he kicked a stick. Then in the rubble they heard a faint groan and saw a hoof coming out of the rubble.

“Star over there! It looks like a villager is hurt!” Shade shouted and the two ran to the debris site. As they removed the burnt wood they saw a pony with a big bruise.

“What happened here, who are you?” Star said as he picked up the pony. The pony was weak and was barely breathing.

“We need to get out of the opening. Whatever did this might be still here. We’ll take her to the kingdoms medical room,” Shade alleged and the two helped the wounded pony back to the kingdom. As they approached the kingdom they brought the wounded pony to the infirmary.  They watch the medics bandage up the wounded pony and placed her on the bed.

“She is going to be alright. She needs to rest. But can you describe how she was like this?” the medic asked.

“We don’t know. We found her like this in the Rainbow Valley, or what’s left of it,” Star confirmed. They also reported that they saw huge foot prints and claw marks on the village buildings and assume that the town was devastated by something big. The doctor rubs his chin and shrugged telling the two to get some food, and with that the medics left.

“Well, I’m a little famished. What about you Star?” Shade replied.

“You know I’ll stay with our guest and keep her company. You go ahead and eat, if you meet my sister, tell her that we completed our drill,” Star said. Shade agreed and left the medic room. Star was looking at the pony and examined her wounds.

“I wonder what happened,” Star said as he got a wet rag and placed it on the pony’s head. Just then the pony gasped and was panicking.

“He…Help me…Somepony help!” The pony screamed and started to go nuts. Star put his hoof on her head and put a relaxation spell on her.

“Easy, easy there. You’re alright, you’re in the hospital,” Star alleged as he put the rag back on the pony’s head.

“Wh…what happened?” The pony asked as she looked around the room.

“That’s what I want to know. My friend and I found you under a pile of rubble in the Rainbow Valley,” Star explained how Shade and he brought her to the Rose Heart Kingdom and took her in.

“I…I’m in the Rose Heart Kingdom?” The pony asked.

“Yes, and I’m the Prince of it, the names Prince Star Shield,” Star announced.

“Then you have to help me. The village was attacked by a group of soldiers, or what look like beasts,” The pony said.

“What kind of beasts?” Star asked in concernment.

“They had dark armor, with shadow skin and red eye’s that could give anypony fear in a heartbeat. They also had a flag with a diamond snake and a moon behind it.” The pony told Star that they attacked the village to find something but never did. Star knew who they were and had a shiver going down his spine.

“Listen. You need to rest. I’ll help you and do whatever it takes to build the village back,” Star said as he lifted his hoof and places it on his heart, which was a sign of promise.

“Thank you, my Liege. My name is Winter Breeze,” She pronounced.

“Well then, it’s nice to meet you Winter Breeze,” Star said as he pulled a blanket on her and placed another wet rag and places it on the pony’s head, which fell asleep. Star got up and left the medic chamber to go see his uncle. Star ran passed the corridor and came into the throne room, to see uncle having a little snack with his sisters.

“Star there you are. Where in the world were you? We were about to send a search party to find you,” Rose said as she got up and hugged him.

“Listen to me, we don’t have much time, and it’s important,” Star alleged and gave uncle a serious face.

“What seems to be the trouble son?” Disk Horn asked as he shifted and turned to meet Star dead straight in the eye. Star closed the doors behind him and shut the curtains as well. It was only the four in a room that had a lit fire place. As star saw that the coast was clear he spoke.

“It’s about King Thunder’s forces. They’ve passed the border and already destroyed a village. Me and Shade were flying to the border and found a pony named Winter Breeze, who was the only survivor and brought her back here,” Star explained, and also told them that the forces destroyed an entire village and there were no other survivors than Winter Breeze, the pony that survived. As Star finished his story this worried Disk Horn.

“If that is true, then we need to fan our forces. We need to make sure that every place in the Equestria is safe from King Thunder’s wraith,” Disk Horn announced.

“But how can we do that? Our forces are already thin and were already suffering a loss of a village,” Rose asked.

“We need to ally with another kingdom; one’s who are strong and willing to fight against Thunders raid,” Disk Horn alleged and got up and opened the curtains and the doors.

“I’ll have the mission brief tomorrow, until then we need to rest our eyes. Star I want you to pack your stuff today before you sleep. I got a place where you can write a treaty to,” And with that Disk Horn left the chamber in silence.

“Guess we better do what uncle said. We better sleep, but Star you should pack at least everything, I have a feeling that uncle is about to send you to a faraway place to live in.” Rose said.

“But this is my home; I’m not ready for-!” Star was interrupted by roses hoof on his mouth.

“Listen I was young too, but I stood up and knew the responsibility’s I had to take, you should too,” Rose said.

“Just remember, you’re not alone, you got uncle, us, Shade and Meteor-! Hey where is Meteor Head?” Fuchsia asked.

“I’m right here. Star, as one of Captain Disk Horn’s trusted men, my advice to you is that you to leave right now, I talked with your uncle and he agreed my wisdom. Pack your stuff, you leave today, and also you’ll be with a friend.” Meteor Head said as he moved a bit aside, to show Winter Breeze standing behind   him.

“Hey, I thought I told you to rest?” Star said.

“I did. Meteor Head gave me a sapphire crystal to heal my wounds, and then I was all better,” Winter said.

“Winter here says that she knows every known kingdom, country and place in the world, if you’re traveling tonight, you’ll need a guide.” Meteor said as he approached Star with a bag.

“Here. These are the crystals that I sorted out for you, use them wisely and conserve them too. You’ll be heading to a place called Canterlot. There you will meet an alicorn princess named Princess Twilight Sparkle. Sign the treaty with her, and come back home, no exceptions,” Meteor finished saying and left Winter Breeze in the room with the three royal families.

“So, you’ll be my traveling pony?” Star said.

“Yes, I traveled a lot and I know every place in Equestria,” Winter said proudly.

“Well, looks like you’ll be gone soon, remember to write to us,” Rose said as she fixed Stars jacket.

“I will, and you too,” Star said das he hugged his family for the time being. Star looked out the window and saw that a carriage was there for him, and his stuff was already packed by his best friend. He walked down the stairs and came into the courtroom where he saw his buddy Shade standing next to it.

“Don’t worry; the unicorns placed a spell on the carriage that will stop when you reach your destination,” Disk Horn said, and looked into the eyes of his nephew. “Remember, if the enemy follows you, protect the village and the kingdom that you’re at, even if you don’t know those kingdoms that much, protect it, even if it means to give your life, understand?” Disk asked as he held star one last time.

“I do uncle, and I’ll make sure that that treaty is signed,” Star said. He walked to the carriage and saw his friend standing next to the door.

“Well, so long friend. I just got sent to the front lines to prevent Thunder’s forces From the border of our home land,” Shade said.

“Be careful and look after my family too,” Star said as he bro hoofed his friend and step into the carriage. He and Winter were riding away from the kingdom and Star looked out from the carriage window. He saw his home far away and it looked so faint,  Star knew this was going to be a long trip so he looked over to Winter Breeze who was already asleep and decided to do the same, he then closed is eyes’ and sleep.

The night sky was light up with stars and the sound of the gentle breeze of wind blowing was peaceful enough too.  Star was too stress to sleep and decides to stay up a little. He looks out of his carriage and noticed that he sees light ahead.

“Hey, Winter Breeze, there it is. What’s that place called?” Star asked. Winter woke up and rubbed her eyes a bit and saw the town clearly.

“Well, according to my map that I have here that should be the town of…Ponyville,” Winter confirmed and looked down at the town. The two then felt there carriage shake a little and started to ascended from the sky a bit.

“Guess the magic is wearing off. That means this is the destination that we have to stay, prepare to land,” Star announced as he grabbed his bag and tied the strap around it. As they ascended from the sky they saw that the village was celebrating a festival.

“Winter, what does this mean?” Star asked.

“It says here in the book that -!” Then she saw a figure in the sky and looked like she saw a ghost. Winter then grabbed Star and they both hid in a bush.

“What…? What’s the matter?” Star questioned.

“Star it’s one of those things that I said to about and one of them is here,” Winter said as she grabbed on to Stars arm.

“Then we have to stop it, before it can get to the villagers,” Star looked at the ground and saw that they were at the bottom already and behind a huge tree.

“Winter, stay here with the cart, and if anything happens, don’t move,” Star said as he jump off and ran to the festival to see if it’ attack. Winter stayed in the carriage and started to read more from the book of Equestria.  Star ran as fast as he can and saw that the beast found him. The beast landed right in front of him and as in the shadows to hide itself from Star.

“Well, if it isn’t the young prince,” The voice snickered.

“Leave now, you don’t belong here!” Star shouted. The figure twisted its head to the side and smiled a wicked grin,

“Neither do you!” It shouted and as fast as a bullet it smacked Star right in the face and blasted him through a stand which a pony had set up. The pony folk were wondering who this was, then they saw the beast and panicked.

“Star, it’s a scout, take him down!” Winter shouted from the crowd of panicking ponies. Easy for you to say, you’re behind that cookie stand and I’m fighting a beast of death here. Star got up and stood his ground to face the monster.

“Is that all you got?” Star said. He then concentrated his power to his horn and tried to form a star sword, but was still not enough.  The beast laughs and then twisted his neck side to side.

“My turn!” the beast shouted and ran at Star. It grabbed him by the leg and threw him at another stand which had apples for half price. Star got up and turned around to see that he beast was already in his face and almost slashed Star in half, but Star evaded the attack and kicked the monster in the face, causing it to go flying into a trinket stand.

“Winter, how do I defeat this punk?” Star shouted. Winter went back to the chariot and saw a box. She opened it and found a book of monsters. She opened it and saw the picture of the beast that Star was fighting.

“Star that beast is a Troll Knight. It says here that it is weak to the smell of sweet roses, causing it to blind them!” Winter shouted. She looked around and saw a flower stand. She ran and picked out a red rose and threw it to Star who caught it.

“Okay, so in order to defeat you, I need to use flower power!” Star screamed and charged at the beast. Star did a low kick, causing g the thing to trip and Star lifted his other leg and smacked downed the thing. The best got up but was blinded by the rose that Star had crunched up in his hoofs and blew the pollen plus the rose peddles at it.

“Gah! Curse you!” The beast yelled and tried to hit Star but missed.

“Now here are my last words, lights out!” Star screamed and jumped and did a barrage kick to the head of the beats. The thing blew up the ground and made a huge explosion that t rocked the entire village.  As the smoke cleared Star stood victorious as he trampled down his enemy.

“Star that…was…Awesome!” Winter Breeze squealed and jumped up and down.

“My uncle is right, they never travel this far, whatever is driving King Thunders men this far, it means one thing…Can you guess?” Star asked Winter Breeze.

“Uh, he wants more land to conquer?” Winter alleged.

Not only that, he’s weak, he is running out of power and strength. This may be our moment to strike at him, but first a job has to be done, we need that treaty signed and ally many kingdoms to help us.” Star explained.

“What the hay happened here?” a voice cried out from the crowed.  Star and Winter turned around to see that the festival was ruined and that the ponies were sad.

“Uh, Winter was this festival important?” Star questioned.

“It says here that they do this to celebrate the Winter Wrap up, it’s called The Winter Wrap up Festival,” Winter commented.

“Hey excuse me mister! Did you cause this?” a voice called from the crowed and walked to Star and Winter.

“Who are you?” Star asked.

“What! Who am I? I’m the funniest pony in Equestria, I’m Pinkie Pie. And you sir are who?”  Pinkie asked.

“My name is Prince Star Shield, and this is my assistant Winter Breeze,” Star announced and caused Pinkie to shout.

“You’re a Prince?!” Pinkie shouted and the whole village looked at the middle of the three ponies.  This made Star very tense.

“Yes, I’m a Prince and I was wondering where do I find Princess Twilight Sparkle, I need to speak to her, it’s important,” Star alleged.

“Oh, Twilight is at her tree house for the Winter Wrap up festival. Come this way.” Pinkie alleged and led Star and Breeze to Twilights place. Pinkie knocked at the door and Apple Jack opened it.

“There you are Pinkie, where were you?” Apple Jack asked.

“Hey AJ, where’s Twilight?” Pinkie asked.

“She’s over there opening her gift from us. Come on in. Whoa, who are the two pony guests?” Apple Jack whispered to Pinkie.

“Oh, this is Star Shield and Winter Breeze, they need to see Twilight, it’s really important.” Pinkie said as she introduced the two to Apple Jack.

“Okay, I don’t see why. Hey Twilight you got visitors!” Apple Jack shouted. Pinkie went in followed by Star and Winter.

“Listen Winter, I need you to keep silent and talk if I start to go a little slow, okay?” Star whispered to Winter as they walked in.

“Okay, you can count on me,” Winter Breeze said. They walked into Twilight’s tree house and saw Twilight having a blast and a great time.

“Excuse me, Princess Twilight Sparkle?” Star announced and bowed to show respect.

“Oh, hi there young pony’s what brings you to my library?” Twilight said as she smiled at them.

“My assistant and I need to talk to you, it’s about a great evil, and I need your help,” Star said and gave the mare six a shock.

“What is it?” Twilight asked and looked serious.

“I think it’s best if we talked in private.” Star alleged.

“Anything you got to say, you can say it in front of my friends.” Twilight announced.

“Sigh. Okay then, we need your help. I need you to sign a treaty for me. My home, the Rose Heart Kingdom is under a great war and is low on men and assistance, if you signed a treaty with us it would help,” Star said.

“I never heard of your kingdom,” Twilight said.

“That’s because were a silent and quiet place, our home is in the southern part of Equestria erased from your maps because our kingdom possesses a rare type of material of crystals,” Star pronounced.

“What kind of crystals?” Rarity asked.

“These crystals are none you’ve seen before. One bite from these ones can fill the stomach of a grown filly, stallion, and mare for at least ten days and if you extract the magic dust in them, you can use them as a potion that can cure any type of sickness, disease and wound in the world. It also has a rumor that if you share this power and use it for good, the powers will last forever. But if it I used for evil, the power will unbalance and the world will end,” Star gravely announced.

“Wait, then how can this be, this is just a bit of a supernatural tale,” Twilight said.

“Here allow me to show you,” Star said. He walked up to a fruit knife that was on the counter and cut himself in the arm. The others were all shocked at this and horrified.

“Quickly Apple Jack, fetch me the medic kit!” Twilight yelled

“No need. Winter Breeze my bag, hand me the red one.”  Star ordered and was given a red crystal. Star used the knife and cut the crystal in half. He placed it on his wound and sprinkled a bit of dust on it, and in two seconds flat, his wound was healed. The girls and Winter were surprised at this and Twilight then believed.

“Okay now that was awesome! Can I try it?” Rainbow Dash shouted.

“Hold it Rainbow, I should try it first, it may help heal Big Mac’s wound on his side,” Apple Jack insisted.

“Now, now darling, if anyone should have that crystal, it’s me. Your name is Star right? Can I pretty please have that?” Rarity flattered her eyes and caused Star to blush a bit.

“Hey, I want to try that, he said it can fill the stomach of anypony, I want to try it!” Pinkie shouted as she tried to take it from Star but failed as Star lifted her up and placed her behind her friends.

“Can I try that?” Spike said as he walked up to Star drooling and looking hungry. Star looked down and saw Spike and gave him a chill.

“Whoa! A real talking dragon! I never seen a dragon, but I’ve always heard them from uncle’s stories.” Star exclaimed.

“What’s your name?” Star asked.

“My name is Spike the dragon, and you’re Star?” Spike answered.

“That’s right; I’m Star Shield, Prince of the Rose Heart Kingdom,” Star announced and gave the ponies a gasp.

“Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that he’s a Prince, so yeah,” Pinkie Pie also added in the sentence.

“Then…What you’re telling me is that you’re a Prince from a faraway land?” Twilight added.

“That’s right. I came all the way here to ask you something, will you help us?” Star asked and lifted his hoof. Twilight knew this was also being part of a Princess, and she wasn’t willing powerful crystals like that to be used for evil.

“I’ll help, on one condition,” Twilight added.

“What is that?” Star asked.

“You tell me more about your crystal powers and about your kingdom,” Twilight stated. Star thought for a very short time, he walked towards Winter and whispered a few words. Then he turned to face Twilight and lifted his hoof again.

“It’s a deal,” Star said and shook hoofs with Twilight. The others screamed in joy.

“Now if you’ll all gather around,” Star asked and gathered the group to tell them about the kingdoms history.

“Long ago there lived a king, who ruled a great kingdom powerful and just, he was loved by all, he had two daughters who will one day inherit the throne from him. One day they received that their neighbors to the west grew blood lust and hungry for power against us. The king went to battle and fought gallantly, but sadly like every great hero, he faded. The two Princess knew what they had to do, and were now in charge of the kingdom with the protection from their uncle. They were told that their kingdom were rich of pure Rose crystals. These crystals were made once every thousands of years,” Star explained that the Princess’s also trained stallions and mares to fight for their land, and many blood was shed on both sides. He also explained on how he is a prince, but he wasn’t of royal blood.

“Wait, if you’re a Prince then how-!” Twilight was interrupted by Stars hoof.

“I was only a filly when they found me. They said I was adopted by my sister Princess Crystal Rose Heart and she saw something in me that no other pony saw. She took me in, feed me, gave me a family, and my uncle is captain of the royal guard, he goes by the name Disk Horn of the Rose Heart Kingdom. He taught me how to fight and defend my land, my sisters Rose and Fuchsia taught me political and negotiation tactics to help me to do what I’m doing now.” Star added. Twilight looked grieved at his story.

“Listen I‘d like to help you, and I will, but you also have to talk to Princess Celestia and Luna to see if they are willing to help as well.” Twilight stated.

“Then I hope you don’t mind me and my assistant to stay here for a while until your highnesses arrive?” Star asked

“Not at all, you’re welcomed to stay at my place,” Twilight offered.

“That would be an honor,” Star agreed, but Rainbow Dash wasn’t going to let Twilight take the goods for herself.

“Wait, he has wings, so he should sleep with me in my cloud so he should see a great view from my place!” Rainbow Dash suggested.

“That would be fun, I’d loved to-!” Star was interrupted by Fluttershy.

“Wait, don’t you love animals? I can give you a great hospitality from my pests.” Fluttershy stated.

“I’m sure that would be fun, but-!” Star was blocked out by Pinkie how was jumping in Star’s face, and hugging him to death.

“He should sleep with me, so that he could help me with the babies Mr., and Mrs. Cake has!” Pinkie insisted.

“Well, that is nice but-!” Star was interrupted by Apple Jacks offer.

“Wait a darn minute. He can sleep at my place, so I could, uh you know at least give him some food to eat and to his assistant.” Apple Jack said.

“Well I’m sure we-! Star was again blocked out by Rarity.

“If any Prince should sleep anywhere is with me. At least my house is comfortable for a Prince like you.” Rarity added. The girl’s started to grab him by each limb and started to pull him apart like he was some puffy doll.

“Um actually…why don’t we… all have… a sleep over… here… at… Twilights place!” Star strained as he was talking and was released at once. The prince took in five deep breaths as Winter Breeze was patting him on the back. The girls looked at each other and came to an agreement. That night the girls had a sleep over and Winter Breeze was having a blast. She was already friends with them and Star was friends with Spike who he was helping him sort the library out.

“Looks like the girls are having fun,” Star said as he put a book on stars in the S section.

“Hey Star, if you said you never saw a dragon, then how do you know what I looked like?” Spike said as he swept the floor.

“My uncle, Captain Disk Horn, use to tell me stories of how he use to fight dragons. My favorite story of him fighting dragons is the one where he fought in a war called the Dragonlorian Wars’ and boy were they gruesome and fierce,” Star sighed as he placed a misplaced book back on the shelf.

“Wait, the Dragon what?” Spike asked.

“The Dragonlorian Wars. It was a war against the fiercest and toughest dragons of all; they were the first threat to the kingdom and Equestria. Before Celestia and Luna became princesses and ruled Canterlot, the Dragonlorians ruled it with an iron claw. They said they would take over Equestria and bring peace and justice to those who resisted. My uncle was only a royal guard’s man, my father said that they’re view of a peaceful world would only bring chaos and destruction. So he sends my uncle and his best soldiers to fight this civil war."

"My uncle was only a trooper but he and his men were fearless. My sisters said the he handled off an entire battalion of dragons single handedly with only five of his best stallions, who were on the verge of dying, but in the end they were victorious. He was then moved up to Captain Disk Horn, captain of the royal guards. He knew how the dragons acted and fought for years and won many battles, but one battle brought us down. The dragonlorians decided to do an attack on the Rose Heart Kingdom when our main forces attacked a decoy of armies that attack one of our villages."

"The battle was fierce and some of the ponies therein the kingdom were only rookies. We lost a lot of great ponies that day, some were even my uncle’s best friends, but in the end my father King Rain Cloud defeated the dragonlorians and cast them off to the far end of the world, never to be seen again,” Star finished as he placed the last book in the shelf and turned to see Spike all hyped up.

“Whoa. Your uncle must’ve been a great stallion,” Spike said.

“He was. He said that no matter the cost, know your limitations, otherwise you’ll kill yourself, but if you think you can win, never give up, and keep moving forward,” Star announced and gave Spike the goosebumbs of excitement. Spike then felt tired and heard over down stairs that the girls were telling each other stories. Spike went to his bed and looked at Star.

“Hey Star, do you know any good stories?” Spike said as he grabbed a pillow and lay down on his bed.

“Well. There is one; it’s about the Elements of harmonies seventh holder,” Star said.

“Wait, a seventh element of harmony? I thought there were only six; Laughter, Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, Honesty, and Magic,” Spike said as he jolted up in a surprised way.

“Yes, normally there is. But there is one special element that holds and binds the other elements, brings them together as one,” Star exclaimed.

“What is this element?” Spike asked. Star sat up straight on a comfortable pillow and began his story.

“Long ago, before the time of chaos and destruction, there lived a young alicorn, who knew that the elements were used as tools to combine the powers of harmony. There were six kinds: Generous, Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Loyalty, and Magic. But the alicorn knew that without the main element that held the others intact, the elements would be useless. This element was known as…the Element of Peace. “The element of Peace helps hold the powers of the others together, making sure that they would not fall under any dark spell, and keeping peace to Equestria,” Star also explained that the six elements were made by the souls of the six heroes who used them, but the element of light is the most powerful of all.

“They say that the other elements were all chosen by the souls of their user’s power, just like Twilight and her friends.  But the element of Peace is different,” Star added.

“How different was it?” Spike asked as he clenched onto his pillow.

“They say that the sixth element was never found until the other elements came together and magic sparks the elements of harmony. Well the seventh element is going to be difficult, because since there is no peace, the seventh element can never be found,” Star explained. Spike was confused as ever.

“How is that possible?” Spike asked in confusion.

“No pony knows. Some have tried to go on many adventures to find this element, hoping that they would be remembered as heroes, but many have failed, because the power of the Peace can only be held with a pure heart of unquestionable honor. Then, and only then will the element show itself,” Star pronounced and looked into the moon.

“Wow. I never knew the elements had another source,” Spike said as he covered himself in his blanket and lied down in his bed. “Hey, maybe one day we will go and find the seventh element together. What do you think Star?” Spike

“I think that would be a great idea, but for now, just rest,” Star said as he tucked Spike in. He looks at the small dragon and this reminded him of how he was this small and his sisters always looked after him. He walked down the stairs and saw that the girls were still having a blast. Star turned around and went to Twilights balcony and star gazed.
