In the deep underground of Canterlot an oil lamp flickers in the old stone halls. It travels slowly carried by a cloaked bearer. The bearer travels along the deep corridors, long forgotten in Canterlot lore and myth. The light sways to and fro, shining upon the faces of statues of kings and queen's long since passed. The figure is surrounded, by the darkness of protruding shadows that creep ever so slightly. Soon the masked figure arrives at great doors, they smell of cherry and spruce wood. The many protruding cracks and twists in the wood sighed and creaked, since the days Canterlot was first created. Silently and without trouble, the figure takes a great key from it's cloak, it has a single emerald and ruby on either side. Slowly and nervously, the being sticks the key into the large lock held upon the door and turns the key slowly. Quietly, a great many gears began to turn and twist, slowly allowing the doors to open. As the doors opened the light from the glass box illuminated, a great many rows of books came into view. Placing one hoof forward, the cloaked being stepped into the ancient halls of books nervously searching for something. With eye's skimming and lantern held high, the being grabbed a large book from one of the shelves. Placing the glowing aurora on one of the many tables, the figure removed its hood. It was Princess Celestia.

Celestia looked at the book, it was green with white trim. The spine read of magical beings and powers. She slowly opened the book, it was musky smelling and dusty. Celestia slowly held up the book and flipped through the pages. The many pages had water colored drawings and diagrams, all just as terrifying as the last with the many monsters and unnatural beings in them. For too long something had troubled Celestia, she sensed something or someone was soon to return. She could not sleep, eat, or get any work as a princess done, she had to get to the hoof of her problem or she would go crazy. Soon, she found the page she was searching for and moved the lantern closer to her face. A bright painted drawing depicted a unicorn in white fur, with a horn of ice and crystal. A long description was produced on the next page, speaking of his terribleness and breeding of huge armies. He was an extremely disturbed and angered unicorn, he was dreaded and feared by all. But, his armies were long since disbanded and broken, for Celestia had entrapped him long ago. Celestia shuddered slightly, she felt the chill of the wind. She then stood still and felt the wind, spreading out her wings to get the full effect of the cold chill. She remembered having a distant memory of the wind, but disregarded it as something she had read.

The unicorn's name was Frostwalker the Terrible, and he was the ice wizard of the Crystal Mountains. Celestia was disturbed slightly by him, but she no longer feared him as she once did. She slowly closed the book, a small cloud of dust swirled and then settled. She took the book and put it in her satchel bag, it was heavy but she did not mind. She took the small lantern, it's flame having not yet died out. Celestia then slowly walked out of the ancient library, the shadow's still lingering on. Silently and with worry removed, Celestia exited the library and looked towards the lock. With a quick jerk of the hoof, Celestia turned the lock of the ancient library. Many gears, levers, and other work's slowly worked and soon the doors of the library closed yet again. Covering her head with her cloak and putting the key back in her satchel, Celestia slowly walked back down the hall to the entrance she started at. Slowly she approached the door she entered, with a simple touch of a hoof she opened it. The bright sun burned her eyes slightly, but she did not mind.

She slowly trotted back to her throne, feeling a great weight had left her shoulders. But yet she was still concerned, the wind had somehow gotten colder and she shivered slightly. "That wind" she thought, "I remember something vaguely but nothing more." She slowly sat down on her throne, contemplating a good while about recent things. "Maybe the wind was a sign, of darker times to come" she said to herself in a low subtle voice. Slowly she began to ebb away at the ideas of Frost-Walker and the Crystal Mountains, returning to her princess like duties. Celestia reached into her saddle bag, pulling out the book. She flipped to the page and looked at Frost-Walker's picture, he had a great frown hidden behind a white beard. "Your power is no more, you are a pathetic waste" she said to his picture. Celestia then took the book, and set it aside on her stand next to her. "Now let's see here, Law 239: More Cup-" her thoughts were cut short.

"Your Majesty, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have arrived" said a guard to Celestia. Celestia looked up from her work, her most loyal pupil and her 4 friends trotted forward. The Mane 5 bowed before Celestia, in which Celestia nodded to them with a simple smile.

"Princess Celestia, did you receive my latest letter about friendship" Twilight spoke with a cheerful smile. Her letter described how friendship is eternal, one can't simply break it through hate. Twilight was Celestia's most loyal pupil, she had studied very hard to where she was now. Celestia looked on in curiosity and counted only 5 ponies not 6.

"Where is Rainbow Dash?" Celestia said with a curious look on her face. It wasn't like Rainbow Dash to miss out on a visit to Canterlot, even if the weather was intolerably bad. "Maybe she plan's to make a grand entrance or something?" she thought to herself. Rainbow Dash did like to make grand entrances, especially if it meant showing off her Sonic Rainboom.

"I'm here" a voice called. Celestia and the Mane 5 looked up and saw Rainbow Dash, she was slowly flying to the floor. Her rainbow hair was very wet and puffy, it looked like she had been through a storm. "I'm fine really, just doing weather things" she said as she shook out the excess water from her fur, splashing the other ponies with mist. Celestia shook her head happily at Rainbow Dash's antics, she was happy to see somebody pull a Pinkie Pie.

"So how is the weather been?" Celestia asked Rainbow Dash out of curiosity. The wind was still bothering her, but she had pushed that idea back into her mind. Rainbow Dash was practically Equestria's weather pony, she arranged the clouds so that crops could be watered, the sun to shine through, or to prepare for winter. She knew a good amount of when season's should occur, what the weather would be like not only in Ponyville, but also in other part's of Equestria.

"Well, it has been chilly recently" she said shivering slightly. It had indeed gotten colder, especially since it was the middle of spring which made it odd. The rest of the Mane 6 shuddered slightly too, the air had gotten more fiercely frozen. Celestia shook a hoof to attendant, she came trotting over.

"Yes, your majesty?" she said with a bow.

"Please, fix our guest's some cocoa and chocolate chip cookies" she said. No sooner had the word's left Celestia's lips, did the attendant leave for the kitchen to begin preparing the treats.

"I LOVE COCOA AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES" Pinkie Pie shouted with excitement. Pinkie Pie was virtually excited by anything, even a snail if she had nothing to do. So soon had Pinkie Pie jumped for joy, did the attendant return with the warm mugs of cocoa and chocolate chip cookies. Marshmallows gently bobbed up and down, in the warm mug of the liquid cocoa beans, the cookies were steaming and soft after being taking just out of the oven. The attendant walked to each pony, each taking a mug of hot chocolate and a cookie, Pinkie Pie took her mug and 4 soft flour mounds. The attendant finally came to Celestia and gave her a mug and cookie.

"Thank You that will be all" Celestia said and the attendant trotted off. Everybody took a slight sip of cocoa, it was still searingly hot. The conversation turned back to what was at hand. "So Rainbow Dash, you said it was getting chillier?" Celestia said.

"It sure is Princess, I don't know what is causing it though?" Rainbow Dash said. This was one of the very few time's Rainbow Dash did not know the weather, this was a very bad sign. If Rainbow Dash didn't know the weather, then that could spell out catastrophe for Equestria. "Yeah, I feel this very cold wind brushing through here" she said shivering even though, she had two very hot items in her hands. "I don't know where it is coming from though" she said with a slight bit of guilt in her voice. Celestia pondered to herself and everypony sat in silence.

"Rainbow Dash, could you please fly and find where that wind is coming from please?" she said in a soft voice. Rainbow Dash nodded and she put down her mug. She zoomed out of the throne room, her speed quick and sudden. Everypony sat in silence still, waiting for Rainbow Dash to return. "Twilight what else is new in Ponyville?" Celestia spoke breaking the akward silence.

"Not much Princess, just ponies coming and going" Twilight said with a slight shrug. It wasn't very often that Twilight had no news to give the princess, usually Twilight was very talkative. All the while, the wind continued to make the ponies shudder. Soon Rainbow Dash returned quite cold indeed.

"Rainbow Dash you have returned, did you find the direction the wind was going?" Celestia asked. Rainbow Dash was extremely cold after flying through the ice like wind. Celestia called for her attendant, who came rushing in. "Could you please get Ms.Dash here a blanket" she spoke, and soon the attendant was off. Rainbow Dash sniffled slightly after being out in the strange freeze. The attendant soon returned with a blanket and gave it to Rainbow Dash, who instantly wrapped it around herself.

"It's coming from the North, the direction of the Crystal Empire" Rainbow Dash spoke in a warm yet still chilled voice.

"From Where?" Celestia said again to make sure her hearing was right.

"The Crystal Empire" Rainbow Dash spoke again, reiterating herself.

Celestia then stopped and became afraid. Piece's seemed to click together, about the wind and the Crystal Empire. She looked at the book on the stand next to her, Frost-Walker's picture seemed even more sinister. Celestia's eyes became glazed as she thought of the prophecy of the wind so long ago.

*FLASHBACK 500 YEARS AGO Crystal Mountain's, Ice Temple*

“Raise Shields” Celestia commanded to her soldiers, even though the wind cut her speech in two. Frost-Walker was on the verge of complete domination; his armies were on the brink of victory. The snow was threatening; it pounded Celestia’s soldiers with great fury. Celestia snorted her breath chilled and cold. She looked across the iced plain, and saw her enemy waiting there with huge hordes in front of him. Celestia had launched a last ditch offensive into Frost-walker’s heartland, and she was now at his front door. She was given one chance to strike at Frost-walker, and she took it without question.

“Prepare swords!!” Frost-walker screamed, the wind carrying his commands to the ears of those who did not hear. He had long awaited a confrontation between his army and Celestia’s personal army, and he finally got his wish. His snow gobponies were neck deep in snow, but they did not mind for they were raised in the snow since birth. Frost-Walker lifted his horn into the air; it was made of crystal, ice, and was deathly sharp. Celestia at the same time lifted her horn into the air; it was bright, shiny, and pure white. Celestia and Frost-Walker looked into each other’s eyes and saw anger and fear.

Frost-Walker shot a great ice beam from his horn, it glowed a ghastly blue. Celestia shot a rainbow colored aurora from her horn, it was almost like a prism. The sky seemed to explode as both beams touched the sky, great black clouds and thunder storms rolled in and the snow came down harder. “CHARGE!” they yelled at the same time, their soldiers barely able to hear. Soon the soldiers of the vast armies galloped, flew, or magically attacked one another; the battle was soon to become a nightmare. Blood curdling screams and loud boisterous yelps could be heard, but they were cut short by the snow and wind’s chilling call. Ponies screamed in pain, as their organs were cut from their skin and their blood dripped from their flanks. Celestia and Frost-Walker kept watching each other their magical beams not deterred. The curdling scream’s and cries of agony were unbearable, but they stared squarely into each other’s eyes.

“I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE” Celestia and Frost-Walker screamed at the same time, looking down upon their soldiers in bloody combat. Their beams broke off, their horns still glowing power. Celestia charged into the battle, her horn held out like a spear. She stabbed the flank of a snow gobpony, its screams were ear piercing. She stabbed it further and then dropped it into the snow, her horn dripping with blood and pieces of mutilated flesh. Many of her soldiers looked on in horror, how could their princess be so ruthless in battle? But they were undeterred and attacked again. Frost-Walker showed his magical might by shooting at a Pegasus high in the sky, it was dropping rocks on his snow gobponies. He shot an icy blast from his horn, and it hit the Pegasus dead on. It slowly dropped from the sky and landed on a great rock, shattering it to pieces. The snow gobponies rushed forward in a renewed attack, driving deep into Celestia’s ranks.

“I will not fall to a useless runt, like you Celestia. Bring Forth the Rock Giants!!” Frost-Walker yelled. The ground slowly began to shake, the fighting lulled for a short bit. From the sides of the mountains, came huge moving rocks. The Huge towering walls of stone marched towards Celestia’s soldiers. With great mighty swings, the piles of limestone swung into Celestia’s troops, causing great swaths of open lines. “Charge and wheel right” Frost-walker said the wind carrying his call. The Snow Gobponies with teeth showing and hooves stamping, lengthened their reach into Celestia’s lines. Celestia was growing desperate she came this far and was about to die a meager death, if she didn’t act fast. An idea struck her in the head. She held her head low and called into her thoughts.

“Princess Luna my wonderful sister please help me, in my most trying of hours” she yelled in her mind. So soon had she spoke that a great blue light appeared from the sky, it was Princess Luna. Luna fired a beam of energy at the rock giants; it was a bright sheen of blue and black. The energy beam blasted into the giants of stone, almost like a rock against building blocks. Big chunks of rock fell from the sky and crashed into Frost-Walker’s lines, cries and shrieks carried in the wind. Luna slowly fluttered next to her sister; a smile of encouragement was on her face.

“Luna thanks for helping me, when I needed it most” she said with a grin. Celestia would not lose this window of opportunity. “Charge” she called her voice booming to her soldiers. Soon enough her loyal foot soldiers charged into the fight tearing great swath’s in Frost-Walker’s ranks, gaining a much needed upper hand. Frost-Walker was shocked and angered by this and ran into the ice temple.

“Celestia my dear sister I will tend to things here, go into the Ice Temple and defeat Frost-Walker” Luna said to her sister. Celestia had a single chance at killing the enemy that nearly had Equestria in his grasp; she was not going to let that kind of a dream come true. Celestia flapped her huge wings and shot into the air, like a stone from a catapult. She wanted to avoid the onslaught down below; if she died the battle would surely be lost. The sky was gloomy and snow filled but Celestia knew her way, she could sense Frost-Walker’s anger not too far away. She soon arrived at the entrance to the Ice Temple.

“Now Frost-Walker it is time you fell into the abyss, to never come back again” she said. The Ice Temple was large it was made of rock and stone, it had been created long ago. Two massive doors stood between Celestia and the halls of the temple in which Frost-Walker resided. The doors seemed impenetrable, locked by some spell that was extremely tedious and dangerous. All the while the battle continued to rage, cries and screams could be heard among the clanging of swords and shields.

“Frost-Walker your spells are simple garbage, you are nothing more but a pathetic sack of goo” Celestia said snorting under her breath. She slowly began to make her horn glow a bright white hue; it almost was invisible by the snow’s storm. Soon enough a great array of colors shot from Celestia’s horn, it bared a striking resemblance to a prism. The shot hit the door with a great crash, like dynamite blasting in a mine.

“This will be the end of you pathetic son of a bitch wizard” Celestia screamed into the wind. The doors made of ancient wood began to break and strain. An epic crash could be heard through the air as the doors fell with the greatest of thuds. Celestia was undeterred and galloped into the dark temple of ice. As Celestia galloped further into the temple, the sounds of battle slowly faded away, like a distant memory. The air was chilling and the wind rushed through the air like knives. Even though being a princess and having powers, Celestia shivered to her bones, by the iced air.

“You are pathetic Celestia what makes, you think you can beat me?” a voice called in the air. It was Frost-Walker he was hiding in the deathly iced cubed air. It was dark in the temple of the north, so dark you couldn’t see your own hooves. Celestia walked slowly since now she could not see, but she could sense Frost-Walker’s presence. “You do not suspect what might happen, do you?” Frost-walker’s voice called again.

“Frost-Walker come out and fight me you coward” Celestia called.

“Why should I?” Frost-Walker responded.

“You are nothing more but a simple bastard who thinks he can rule Equestria, well news update I am the ruler around here” Celestia grunted.

“Oh I am so frightened by your greed, malice, and inability to be a royal” Frost-Walker sneered.
“I will find you and I will kill you, you ungrateful sod” Celestia growled. She slowly walked deeper into the temple before arriving at a grand hall, with a huge blue flame at one end and her on the other. The blue flame showed very brightly casting much needed light for the princess.

“Celestia if only you knew of how much pain and suffering you have caused” Frost-Walker scowled. Celestia could sense Frost-Walker’s presence but she could not see him, which would put her in grave danger. Frost-Walker was waiting in the shadows on the second floor of the temple, watching Celestia’s every move. “You see Celestia when you die, I will become the greatest unicorn in all of Equestria you are the only thorn in my iced side” Frost-Walker spoke. Frost-Walker had a simple way of killing the Princess he was going to send an icy blast to her heart, stopping her in her hoof steps.

“Frost-Walker you shrew if you were a real unicorn you would fight me” Celestia spoke her back turned to Frost-Walker’s shadow. Frost-Walker knew it was time to strike.

“Well then Celestia, you have come this far and I wish to award you with a FROZEN HEART” Frost-Walker screamed as he jumped from the balcony second floor shooting a terrible ice beam. Celestia quickly spun around and met Frost-Walker’s iced beam with a rainbow of colors. “Damn you bitch” Frost-Walker sneered. Their two beams were intertwined in an epic duel, seeing who the better magic wielder was.

“You and your armies will fall, after I am done with you” Celestia spoke in anger.

“Oh really you think that a bitchy ass princess like yourself could beat me” Frost-Walker laughed.

“All you do is spit lies, corrupt politics, and kill innocent people for your own gain” Celestia steamed.

“You don’t understand do you? I only wish to conquer Equestria and make it my own nothing more, and if you get in my way then you must die” he growled. Frost-Walker and Celestia slowly moved forward, their beams still interlocked in deadly battle. Celestia knew Frost-Walker was strong and she feared she could not beat him, even though she was a princess.

“You are a bastard, liar, atrocious fool, and a goddamn asshole” she screamed her horn emitting extreme colors; it was like a giant rainbow concealed in the night.

“It’s time you fall my dear, I will make it painful and every bit slow” Frost-Walker laughed maniacally. Frost-walker lit up his beam further and closed his eyes; his pale blue eyelids glowed subtly. He then began to chant.
Ice and snow,
And wind as well,
Give me power,
For I have a tale to tell.

The ground began to shake and break violently. Frost-Walker’s eyes suddenly opened to reveal two eyes of pure white. “The day of peace and green is long gone in Equestria, may wind, ice, and snow bring the judgment of all” Frost-walker laughed. His horn began to glow darker and become sharper. The wind growled and hissed.

“What the hell?” Celestia screamed her eyes wide with amazement and fear. Frost-Walker had cast a spell so powerful, not even a princess could defeat. Celestia tried with all her might to repel the new ice beam Frost-Walker projected, but she was growing weak.

“Just face it Celestia this world is mine, join me or die” Frost-Walker said slyly. Celestia knew she had to give up and fall to this terrible wizard but she had one trick up her sleeve. Celestia cut off the beam of her horn.

“I wish to join you great Frost-Walker my magic is no match for you, I will serve only you” she said with a sigh and bow. Frost-Walker stopped his beam, but his eyes still showed white.

“So you finally give up do you?” Frost-Walker said rather sure of himself. Celestia had given up and was ready to serve Frost-Walker. Slowly Frost-Walker’s eyes slowly turned back to their original color.

“I only want to serve you, let us conquer this pathetic land” she said her voice sounding rather evil. Frost-Walker grinned for he knew he had won.

“So you admit I am the greatest and should be the divine ruler of this pathetic world?” he said with triumph as he slowly walked over to Celestia.

“What does thy wish my- OW!” Celestia was cut off as Frost-Walker punched her cheek; he wanted to prove that he was the greatest by asserting his dominion. Celestia felt her cheek it was stingy and ice cold, her face felt as if it would freeze.

“You must obey me and my rule you pathetic little bitch” he said dominantly. Celestia held back tears as the punch was rather brutal and hurt a lot.

“Thank you for the slap my lord, I deserved it” Celestia said with rather sadness, but she knew it was her time to strike. Frost-Walker was sure of himself that he had won that it was his time to rule.

“Now my slave” Frost-Walker’s back turned to think. “I believe we should begin by tearing down Canterlot and making it an ice pa-Ahhh” Frost-Walker yelled into the temple’s gloom. Celestia had managed to stab Frost-Walker’s side, causing blue blood to begin to pour onto her horn.

“I tricked you, I guess you are so sure of yourself and stupid” she growled while shoving her horn further into Frost-Walker’s side. Celestia’s horn was covered in blue blood and flesh pieces that dripped to the floor.
“Goddamn you bitch, I can’t lose” he said coughing up blood through his teeth. Frost-Walker’s horn began to black and frail, as if he was slowly withering away.

“Now it is time to send you back to where you belong, Frost-Walker the inept” Celestia sighed. She muttered a spell under her breath, for it was an extremely complex and dangerous spell. Slowly Celestia’s horn began to emanate a greyish color as it was still stuck in Frost-Walker’s flank.

“No No NO I can’t lose” he said feeling the pain still from her horn. Slowly Celestia pulled her horn from Frost-Walker’s flank, it was dripping with blue blood and bits of flesh. Frost-Walker dropped on his legs coughing up blood and vomit. Slowly Frost-Walker’s hooves began to turn a greyish color and harden as he was turning into stone.
“Curse you Celestia and your kin and people. I knew I can’t lose I showed you mercy and you stab me. You will face my wrath as I bear this curse upon you.” The stone was creeping quickly along Frost-Walker’s body slowly approaching his face. He tried to budge but couldn’t, still he stared at Celestia with his cold blue fire eyes. “In 500 years when the ruling princess of the Crystal Empire feels the wind’s chill and speaks of it as being the coldest wind, I will appear again and you will die you bitch” Frost-Walker called before his entire body was consumed by the stone. Celestia huffed and puffed heavily trying to catch her breath, she had done it she had managed to stop Frost-Walker after all the destruction and pain he had caused his terrible might finally came to an end.

“May he never see the light of day even to the end of time” she spoke softly in between minor huffs and puffs. Then she slowly walked out and put a powerful spell on the doors that cloaked the knobs with a blue flame and then she trotted back to her army.

“Where have you been?” said Luna standing with her soldiers at attention awaiting Celestia’s return. The battle had been won but at a very high cost, ponies riddled the battlefield dead or wounded with blood having soaked the snow that continued to torrentially pour.

“I took care of Frost-Walker” Celestia said with assurance. “He is of no threat to us anymore. For he has fallen to me and that means Equestria may be at peace once again.”

“Huzzah for Celestia, Down with Frost-Walker, Hurray for Equestria, Damn the Great North” cheered her soldiers with happiness. Celestia could only gaze off into the distance towards Canterlot and ponder.

“Celestia, Celestia, HEY PRINCESS CELESTIA” yelled Twilight. Celestia snapped out of her trance and looked at her pupil with large frightened eyes.

The room was silent as Celestia stared at Twilight with her pupils almost as white as snow. Then Pinkie Pie broke the long silence of the hall looking at the picture in the book.
“Who is that guy? He looks like a big meanie who doesn’t like to have fun” she said in a pouty sort of way. Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight all followed suit looking at the picture with great thought. Then, Celestia spoke finally her eyes still wide as pearls.

“That is Frost-Walker, the lord of the North, the unicorn who nearly plunged this whole world into darkness and cold. He has only wanted to conquer as that is what his mind is tainted and brought upon. He assembled great armies in the far Northern Crystal Mountains. They were vast and terrible wreaking havoc and destruction upon this land. Many ponies tried to stop him but only fell in his wake to dominate. Eventually I assembled an army with Princess Luna and on the very footsteps of his realm we fought for the ponies of Equestria. I eventually did battle with Frost-Walker in the Ice Temple eventually sealing him away in stone where he now still resides.”

The ponies looked wide eyed and confused by all this. No pony had managed to bring Equestria to its knees and nearly win. Eventually their eyes lit up like fire at the anger and destruction caused by Frost-Walker.
“If he ever comes again I will give him a walloping that he won’t soon forget” Applejack said with a huff as she dug her foot into the stone floor. Celestia simply sighed.

“My Dear Applejack, you are strong and smart but Frost-Walker is extremely powerful and cunning. His powers are far too great for any of you maybe even greater than the Elements of Harmony.” Then Celestia’s thoughts began to turn dark and disturbing has the wind and her mind began to play tricks with her. She envisioned a pony cloaked in white with a beard as cold as snow and with a black horn that glowed with bitter evil.

“Yes tell them they cannot succeed princess, tell them how they will suffer at my feet, and tell them how I almost KILLED YOU HAHAHAHA” said Frost-Walker. The wind was messing with Celestia’s mind and caused visions of Frost-Walker too appear in her thoughts. Celestia was all alone in her mind with Frost-Walker when his horn began to glow brighter and show an army bred upon destruction. “You see Princess I may not be alive and speaking but your mind thinks I am. Just as you believe this is my army bent upon your destruction.” He then came rushing forward, toppling her over with himself standing over her. Celestia was still locked in her mind with this terrible vision of Frost-Walker standing over her. “Now do you remember the words I said that when the current leader of the Crystal Empire felt the wind’s chill and said it was the coldest it had ever been then I would return and it seems that it might just happen now.” Celestia tried in vain to snap out of this awful nightmare but it seemed her imagination had gotten the better of her. “Now if you don’t mind I want your blood” said Frost-Walker with a grin of blue teeth as he shoved his horn into Celestia’s chest and then she snapped out of her nightmare. Celestia huffed and puffed with exhaustion and fright at her nightmarish mind. Her friends gathered around her wondering what had frightened their leader.

“Celestia are you okay? You went silent and then you seem too come back in distraught and fright as if you were stabbed” said Twilight. At the word stabbed, Celestia let out an ear piercing screech that broke many of the windows in the hall as she thought of the frightful blue horn dipping into chest and working its way to her heart. Her guards came in a rush from all around at what was going on. Nopony knew what was wrong with Celestia other than she had seemed to have lost her mind. Celestia looked all around at her friends and guards who stood puzzled. Her eyes seemed to turn white, her hair was white with fright and fear, and her hooves turned a ghastly blue with bitterness and clamminess. She looked out a window towards the Crystal Empire.

“Maybe there is still time to warn Cadence” she thought. Then, Celestia flew out a window towards the Crystal Empire with great speed. All her friends and guards looked on in shock and wonder as their princess darted quickly towards something they just couldn’t understand. Celestia’s mind began to fool her again as she could hear Frost-Walker’s diabolical laugh. She began to fly faster and faster hoping that time and fate was on her side.

All her friends were still in Canterlot dumbstruck about what was bothering the Princess. Rainbow Dash managed to fly up and catch a glimpse of the princess before she left in the direction of the Empire of Crystal. She flew back down to her friends. “The Princess is heading towards the Crystal Empire. I don’t know why but we should follow her to tell Cadence why she has been acting oddly” she said.

“Let’s hurry so we can help in the surprise” said Pinkie Pie “Are we throwing Cadence a surprise party?”

“I only hope we are throwing Cadence a surprise party so now let’s hurry” said Twilight with a small sigh. She was Celestia’s star pupil and was extremely smart but she did not understand what was bothering the Princess.

Soon the Mane 6 rushed out towards the direction of the princess’s rainbow.
Celestia was reaching Mach 1 speed trying in vain against the cold dry wind to reach the Crystal Empire in time to warn Cadence. Her mind was still filled with Frost-Walker’s evil laughing and disturbing images. “You will never make it soon I will awaken and cause you pain beyond recognition my dear Princess” sneered Frost-Walker. Frost-Walker was not living but Celestia’s mind imagined him in twisted and weird ways as if to make it seem he was living. Soon Celestia saw a glimpse of the Crystal Empire.

“Come on Fluttershy, go faster we have to keep up with the Princess” yelled Rainbow Dash. While the rest of the Mane 6 travelled by carriage to Canterlot Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew as fast as they could towards Celestia trying to find out what was wrong with her and try to speak with her.

“I don’t like flying this fast Rainbow Dash can’t we slow down just a little” begged Fluttershy.

“No, we have to keep up with the Princess” Rainbow Dash yelled in the harsh wind.

“I hope we can find out more about Frost-Walker and what else is bothering Celestia” said Twilight. The other ponies in the carriage with her nodded their heads in agreement. They could see the Crystal Empire gleaming off in the distance. “Step on it” yelled Twilight to the carriage ponies and they rushed forward faster towards the Empire of White and Crystal.

Celestia was soon over the Crystal Empire and darted down towards the top spire where Cadence’s room was located. Her face stretched back as she pushed at full speed towards the window to Cadence’s room. “Frost-Walker will never win, Frost-Walker is dead, He cannot return, Cadence must not speak of the wind!” Celestia kept repeating to herself in her mind.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were close behind the princess and rushed towards the same window the Princess was heading for.

“Let’s keep going Fluttershy we are almost there” said Rainbow Dash. Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 arrived at the front of the castle and burst through the doors looking for Cadence.

Celestia was going so fast towards the window that she performed a Sonic Rainboom and much of the Crystal began to crack and shatter at the shear epicness of the Rainboom around the Castle and through the Empire. Celestia could barely control her speed and fell into the window and onto the floor of Cadence’s room. “Owwww that hurt” said Celestia with crystal and glass in her fur along with other gashes and blood dripping from her hooves and legs. Cadence had another window open and was shocked to see Celestia the princess of all the land lying on her rug, in her room with blood spattered on her and glass mixed in her fur and mane.

“Celestia it is an honor but also a horror to see you in such a state guards quick! Princess Celestia is injured come quick!” Cadence yelled to her guards to come to Celestia’s aid as she was injured badly. Celestia was extremely dazed and in pain and slowly got up with great struggle and with winces of pain.

“I can manage Cadence it is not that painful. I am still in great pain but in no need of aid” Celestia said struggling to get up on her legs. The guards came in and started to help Celestia back up on her legs. “I am fine thank you, I do not need help right now” she said dismissing the guards managing to get back on her own hooves. Celestia muttered a spell under her breath and healed herself the glass, gashes, and blood soon disappeared.

“Well Celestia it is very grand to see you again but it is dreadfully cold. I think this is the coldest it has ever been in the Crystal Empire it is best to maybe sport a coat.” Cadence said with a smile towards Celestia. Celestia felt almost defeated her heart seemed to feel like it should shatter into millions of pieces. Her eyes became glazed and black as visions of pure evil and Frost-Walker's evil grin entered her imagination. Her mane turned a ghastly grey as her mind began to torture and torment her. She fell to the ground in an almost seizure like way. The Mane 6 burst through the door and window to see their princess in an almost impossible state.

"Celestia! Celestia! What's wrong?!" screamed Twilight. But her word's meant nothing as Celestia could not hear. Celestia then saw Frost-Walker apporaching her in her mind, grinning blue razor sharp teeth.

"The world of ice and snow will now return, and all will bow down to me. You failed in trying to stop me and now I return from my stone prison to hunt you down HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Frost-Walker laughed at Celestia in her mind. Her friends did not understand what was wrong with their dear princess and tears welled up in their eyes as they sobbed trying to understand. Guards soon approached and then were called off to guard the castle grounds. Celestia's then closed as her head filled with terrible nightmares of snow, gobponies, and Frost-Walker the Wizard Unicorn of the North.

Author's Note

Thank You for reading my story. Feel free to comment about it.

If you like it, please tell me why.

If you dislike it, please tell me why.

It really helps with my writing.

(Note: The whole Frost-Walker in Celestia's mind thing I know is really hard to understand so this may help. Frost-Walker is not actually in Celestia's mind but instead Celestia's imagination kind of gets the better of her and makes her think of evil things such as Frost-Walker, his army, and other harmful thoughts or nightmares.)
