A staff in the mist

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.

(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.)

Assembling the Armies of the Great North

Assembling the Armies of the Great North

Deep within the snows of the northern Crystal Mountains lies a temple now long forgotten and buried deep beneath the snow. The temple is that of Ice and Snow and is buried deep in history and lore as a place of evil and cunning. An evil used to reside in its hollowed out halls but was dispatched by a princess and defeated subsequently. In the main hall, lies a mass of stone on the floor of the ancient temple covered in crystals and dust.

"I think this is the coldest it has ever been in the Crystal Empire it is best to maybe sport a coat... coldest... it... has.. ever.. been.. in.. the.. Crystal Empire..." were the words echoed from Cadence's lips and taken by the wind to the far reaches of the Crystal Mountains and into the temple in which the mass of stone lay. Slowly, the mass of stone began to stir and move violently the crystal's that had formed on it shattered into little stars. The stone began to erupt and crack showing great beams of light, cascading the walls in an almost heavenly appearance. The stone soon shattered revealing a unicorn that had been awaken from a slumber for far too long. The unicorn fell to the ground but need not have struggled in getting up.

"Finally, I am free from my stony prison. Cadence broke the seal with her words that the wind so gracefully carried to my dead ears, in which now I awoke and have come back to take what is mine. Now Celestia will taste my true power and might as I will march on Equestria and take everything in my wake" Frost-Walker said in defiance and with a snort. His white fur and mane was long and wavy but dried and brittle and his beard had bits of grey showing near his chin for even though he was hundred's of years old he never really groomed himself seeing it as a boring job when he could be conquering kingdoms.

“The words that were uttered in the wind tells me but one thing… that the dawn of Frost-Walker the great has finally come to bear” Frost-Walker said with a slight huff. He looked about his eyes blinded slightly after being trapped in stone for so long as he rubbed them with his hoof. In anger and ferocity, he released an icy blast from his horn on to the ceiling causing a great black crystal to form. “For too long have I sat idle, FOR too long has Equestria been free from the might of Ice and Snow, and FOR TOO LONG has that upstart Princess Celestia been a thorn in my icy side” Frost-Walker screamed into the icy temple of the North and yet no one heard him. He looked around and only saw banners that bore his symbol the White Crystal of the North and the forever glowing blue flame that illuminated the darkness ever slightly. Frost-Walker saw in the depths of the dark a hall that led somewhere and he trotted towards it. He lit his horn it glowed a pale blue but showed very brightly in the dark corridors of the temple. As he trotted down the hall he saw Ice Crystals forming on the ceiling and down the halls large blue and sharp. He walked further down the hall and came to a room with five different paths into the temple each with a banner bearing the White Crystal red with blood.

“Those brave gobponies risking their lives and strength to fight for me and to bring Equestria to its knees” Frost-Walker said with a slight sigh looking at the banners. He looked down each path and grinned slightly as if they were old friends and the memories they shared. He was looking for something far in the distance as he stuck his ear into the wind. He heard down the main hall a slight heeve and he headed in the direction of it. The hall was extremely dark even with Frost-Walker having lit his horn. “Ah there it is!” Frost-Walker said looking towards two great doors of Ancient Snow Spruce and Iron. Beyond the doors was the ancient library of the Crystal Mountain Kings. “My plans begin here-OW!” Frost-Walker yelped as he reached for the handles of the ancient library doors and pulled away his hoof as it received a burn. “What the hell is that?” he said with a shrill of anger in his voice, the handles were trapped in a blue flame spell that was extremely powerful and anypony who touched it would be instantly burned. “I believe Celestia thinks she has bested me with her so called spell well prepare to eat your heart out, Princess” Frost-Walker muttered to himself with a slight grin. Frost-Walker positioned himself in front of the door. He closed his eyes and began to mutter a spell. His horn glowed a ghastly blue and white.

Ancient Keys,

Here my call,

Break this lock,

So I can walk,

In the tombs of the old.

Frost-Walker finished his chant and opened his eyes and watched the lock. The flames began to shutter and dissipate and soon the doors were clear. “You see Celestia, your magic is weak and powerless against me” Frost-Walker sneered to himself. Frost-Walker put his hoof forward cautiously fearing if it was the incorrect spell to relinquish the flame. Frost-Walker touched the door and it felt like the old spruce wood and he pushed forward on the door and it creaked loudly and echoed through the halls. Frost-Walker peeked his head in and looked about it was very dark within the ancient library. Frost-Walker breathed deeply smelling the old books, cherry red shelves, and the smell of musk. Cobwebs strewn the library from the tiny ice spiders, which could only live in these far northern wastes. Frost-Walker trotted in to the dark searching among the shelves and watching cautiously for anything that could be lurking in these halls. “Where is it? I knew it was around here somewhere” Frost-Walker said puzzled looking for a book of ancient text. The Ancient Library of the Crystal Mountain Kings was one of the largest and last surviving libraries in Equestria that housed ancient texts and scrolls from long ago. Frost-Walker had lived for very long but not as long as the Ice Temple nor Celestia but he was old. The books that lined the shelves were dusty and moldy but were special in that a special dye and ink had been used for their covers never to lose their illustrations nor colors. The shelves were a rainbow of vibrantly colored books and scrolls that told everything from battle plans to herbal remedies.

“Ah here it is” Frost-Walker said with a sigh of relief coming to a shelf with a beautiful, large, hugely illustrated, green book. Frost-Walker used his magic and brought the book down from the shelf and carried over to a table where he set it down. The book was entitled:

Ancient Spells for Conjuring, Summoning, and Other Works

The book had a horrific but beautifully illustrated picture of a Crystal Troll its green soulless eyes seeming to follow where ever one goes. Frost-Walker opened the book and a great cloud of dust came into his face. “ACHOO!” he sneezed practically making a small gust of wind. Frost-Walker looked through the book it was filled with colorful illustrations of monsters, diagrams of spell conjuring and the effects, and many other evil but wonderful things. Frost-Walker pondered about how he could conquer Equestria and bring Celestia to her knees. Frost-Walker looked among the scrolls and found an ancient map and brought it over to the table. The map was illustrated with the many places in Equestria and was colored intricately down to the last square. Frost-Walker pondered at the ancient map looking it over and fiddling with his beard, even though the world outside had greatly changed he figured the map was pretty accurate. “Now I must assemble a force to take this petty world for me” Frost-Walker said to himself as he marked the pages in the book and rolled the scroll back up. He found an old satchel bag and put the book and scroll in it and then put it on his back. Frost-Walker trotted out of the library and closed the door. “Now where can I get out of this place?” he thought. The Ice Temple was constructed long ago not just as a palace but a fortress. It’s many intricate pathways, traps, and dead-ends made it so no mere invading force could take it easily. Frost-Walker had lived for many centuries in the Ice Temple and there were places he still did not know. But, he did remember the path from the library to the front doors. Frost-Walker began his slightly long journey to the front entrance in that time he pondered what his plan of attack would be, what beings would he summon for his army, what he did wrong in the past that led to him being frozen in stone, if Celestia had become more powerful, and many other things. The Temple was covered in ancient symbols, long forgotten family crests, and torn and tattered flags and banners of Frost-Walker’s armies of old. Frost-Walker looked among the many flags and banners, and was filled with boiling anger. He took a flag and banner down staring at the black, white, crystal, red, and other colors that covered them with the symbol of his cutie mark; a dark and powerful white and black crystal in the center. Frost-Walker furled up the flag and banner and put them in his satchel thinking sadly about all those that died at the hooves of Celestia’s armies. “I was so close and she had to destroy it. Well now, Celestia I will get closer and reach my goal of taking Equestria and destroying you!!!” Frost-Walker screamed ferociously into the hall. Frost-Walker continued to walk down the hall until he came to the front entrance of the temple. The front entrance had two great wooden doors that had many intricate locks and spells intertwined within the wood’s many cracks. “Well then I guess Celestia thinks she has bested me. I remember that day the doors broke and these are new and huge. Celestia believes she has bested me at last” Frost-Walker thought staring at the doors slightly wide eyed. Frost-Walker knew that a spell to break through this barrier would require a spell of extreme power, deep intricateness and extreme concentration. Frost-Walker observed the many locks and spells that were in the ancient wood. He positioned himself again and closed his eyes deeply. He began to chant words softly and then began to get louder and louder. His horn glowed deep and dangerous colors from white to deep cerulean.

Ancient Wood,

Spells and Locks adorned,

May you open too me,

So I can be free once more.

Celestia the liar that she is,

Should not be trusted anymore,

Trust I,

Frost-Walker the great,

For I will release thee,

From this terrible fate that you have been forced

Frost-Walker finished his chant and opened his eyes wide and with hope. Nothing happened….at first. But soon the doors began to shake and rattle violently. The many locks and spells began to unwind and disappear. Many gears and pulleys worked away and soon the doors were unlocked and Frost-Walker was happy for he knew the spell was right. “Finally I am free from this horridness” Frost-Walker screamed with cheer. He trotted over to the door and put his hoof to it and pushed for the doors were easily to unlock but very heavy to push. “Almost there” Frost-Walker said to himself as he heaved and pushed he could hear the wind and snow blow violently outside the temple. Frost-Walker opened the door big enough to get through and a giant wall of snow fell on him. “Oh Huzzah for the snow and ice I am now free from my prison of stone” Frost-Walker said proudly. He dug his way through the snow and saw all was covered in white and was so hard to see but not for Frost-Walker. Frost-Walker trotted and stomped through the snow looking out towards the valley near the entrance of the temple where the great battle was fought long ago. He was searching for an ancient black rock. Soon he found it for no snow covered it since a special spell cast by him made it easy for him to find it. “Now then how shall we begin” he thought as he trotted to the top of the black rock. Frost-Walker removed the large book and looked through the many pages searching for a conjuring spell to begin the rebuilding of his former empire. But before he could begin to rebuild his massive armies of the Great North and take Equestria with shock and awe he needed to conjure up a frightful storm. He found the perfect storm in a part of the book. Frost-Walker closed his eyes and began to chant the spell.

Black Clouds,

Dark and Dangerous,

Bring forth a lightning storm,

To conquer all ages,

Snow and Wind,

Bring forth my wrath,

For my path towards Equestria’s destruction has only just

Begun

The sky slowly became stagnant and more violent. Black clouds carrying violent storms and vortexes started to pour in towards the black rock that Frost-Walker stood upon. Wind slowly began to pick up and become fierce with every gust. The snow began to pile high in great drifts and became extremely deep. Frost-Walker knew if such a storm was created it would bring attention from eyes in Equestria but also make them fear him even more. The first phase of his dastardly plan was finished and checked but now he needed a force to conquer Equestria and shroud it in a veil of darkness. “Now let’s see a chapter on Summoning” Frost-Walker thought as he skimmed through the many pages and colorful illustrations of horrific monsters and beasts. “Ah there we are” Frost-Walker sighed looking at a page with a graphic image of a snow gobpony horde. Back during the first time Frost-Walker invaded Equestria the snow gobponies made up his rank and file. They were loyal and would not disobey a signal word of his command. Frost-Walker closed his eyes again and he began to chant his horn changing in a mixture of color from vibrant white to dark green.

Deep within the caves of ice and snow,

A rise Ponies of the Goblin Origin and the Snowed Race,

Heed the Call of Frost-Walker the great,

For now it is time to bring all to their knees

Frost-Walker looked about himself and waited. Soon he could feel a slight rumbling and then the ground began to shake violently. Deep within the Crystal Mountains were ancient mines and caves that were tirelessly worked away at by the snow gobponies. Soon enough large groups of gobponies sprung out of the earth carrying torches, pickaxes, shovels, and what other mining equipment. Their eyes were bright red more accustom to the darkness of caves than to the brightness of the outside. But many of them looked up in awe at their leader Frost-Walker.

“He’s returned” a gobpony said.

“Down with Celestia” said another.

“Huzzah for the Lord of Ice and Snow” said many.

The great snow gobpony king arose his massive size attributing to his power. He trotted forward among the ranks of his kin towards Frost-Walker on the black rock.

“Lord Frost-Walker I am the King of the Snow Gobponies. We are here to serve you my lord and bring Princess Celestia’s rule to an end” the Snow Gobpony King said with a bow. The Gobponies cheered mighty and terrifying cheers for their new leader, Lord Frost-Walker of the Great North. Frost-Walker was proud of himself for his main rank and file had been secured; he now needed to gather all his other forces to him and then the March on Equestria could begin. Frost-Walker skimmed through the many pages of the book looking at the many monsters that could do such destructive damage on the ponies of Equestria. Frost-Walker found his next piece of the puzzle; great rock giants. When Frost-Walker was encased in stone much of his army was brought down including many of the great rock giants which even then were very few in number. Know around the world, as being mighty foes it took more than a few pegasi with courage as big as the moon and hearts as strong as iron to bring one down. Frost-Walker lit his horn into a grayish tone of color as to resemble the color of the stone.

Great Giants of Stone,

May you arise from your tombs of lime and shist,

In my hour of your assistance

Frost-Walker only had to wait a small while. Even though Rock Giants were powerful and massive they were slow and rather difficult to move over long distances. Frost-Walker looked out towards the mountain sides and valley’s far beyond with his keen eyesight watching and listening. The ground rumbled and shook more violently than when the Snow Gobponies assembled into their massive size. Frost-Walker watched in the distance and could see many giant black blobs moving in the distance towards the valley of the ice temple. The great masses of stone soon lined up in ranks although few in number they still seemed grand and at large.

A great rock beast came before him. It had in its center a small deposit of gold ore. “Lord Frost-Walker I am king of the Rock Giants and I am ready to serve you” it said with a slight bow that made the ground shake. The rock giants stomped their great feet as the snow gobponies cheered for Frost-Walker. Frost-Walker now had gained his great tanks that would cross the land and stomp over those who opposed his rule. But, he still had much work to do. Again, he skimmed through the pages finding the creatures he wanted from ogres, druids, trolls, snow golems, and timber-wolves. He read the chants carefully and then closed his eyes and lit his horn. His horn turned a bright turquoise.

Oh great ogres,

Arise from your caverns,

Come forth to me,

So I can live,

For I have been freed.

Druids,

Magical Beings,

From the forests of this frosty north,

Join Me,

And we shall bring Equestria to its knees.

Trolls,

Ever so evil but clumsy,

With your great clubs and strength,

Do not dread your feet,

When you march with me.

Golems of Snow,

Hidden from other’s eyes,

Come with me,

Join me,

For we must bring terror and fright.

Timber Wolves,

Built from wood and the earth,

You Hunger for Ponies,

Join me and fill your girth.

Frost-Walker reopened his eyes and saw great masses approaching from many sides. Soon he had the kings of the ogres, druids, trolls, snow golems, and timber-wolves before him.

“We have come to serve you Lord Frost-Walker and take back Equestria for you and your might” they all said in unison. Many cheers erupted from the ranks of soldiers that were now in the valley. Many lit torches and tattered battle flags littered the great waves of soldiers. Frost-Walker smiled slightly he had done it he had built an army worthy of conquering and bringing down Celestia. But, one final piece of the puzzle had to be completed. Frost-Walker lifted his hoof and the great masses fell to into silence. Frost-Walker went to the end of the book to the most complex and deadly of spells and chants and came to a water color that made him shiver slightly. A pair of red eyes stared back at him before a snout with jagged and dangerously sharp teeth. It was an Ice Dragon an extremely powerful and deadly race of Dragon in all of Equestria. Frost-Walker believed one of the reasons that he did not conquer Equestria the first-time was because he had no proper aviation specifically dragons. He did have Pegasus snow gobponies but they did not have the same ferocity and fire power as an Ice Dragon of the Great North. He was extremely nervous, Ice Dragons were extremely temperamental and could become violent if not treated respectfully or made angry. The chant was very long and complex and was written in an ancient language that Frost-Walker barely remembered. He gulped slightly he may have been the revived Lord of the Great North and a wielder of great and powerful magic but he was very fearful of the Ice Dragons. He pressed his legs firmly on to the ground and lit his horn. He shut his eyes tight as his horn began to have lightning spark out of it and glow a ghastly blue.

Oh great Ice Dragons,

Here my call,

Frost-Walker has returned,

Celestia is weak,

I am Powerful,

I did not ask for your assistance before,

But now I need your help,

I will share in the bounty,

If you join my conquest,

From here in the Great North.

From Ancient Caverns and Mountain Tops,

Heed my call,

Equestria will now be ours.

The clouds began to swirl more violently and began to turn even darker. The wind and snow picked up even more and slashed at Frost-Walker’s soldiers as they duck their heads down. The lightning continued to radiate from his horn and his horn glowed even brighter and brighter. Frost-Walker felt himself slipping but stood stalwart even with the wind whipping him. He opened his eyes as the lightning began to subside and he looked up to the skies. He listened keenly and watched closely. The first he heard was a fearsome roar that shook the ground even from way up in the sky followed by many other roars. He then heard the gliding of many wings that sounded like scythe’s going through a field of wheat. Soon a moving cloud darker than the sky appeared and it was moving fast. As the cloud got closer it began to take a distinctive shape. Thousands upon Thousands of Ice Dragons appeared from the cloud and began to land in among the ranks of Frost-Walkers soldiers. The Ice Dragon’s slowly floated down but their wings felt like great gales and blew some of the snow gobponies off their hooves. Soon a great Ice Dragon with beautiful scales, massive wings, a powerful tail, and a black underbelly stood before Frost-Walker who was completely dwarfed by its size.

“Are you Lord Frost-Walker?” said the Ice Dragon.

“Yes I am and who might you be?” Frost-Walker asked staring into the Ice Dragon’s evil and angry red eyes.

“I am the King of the Ice Dragons. We heard your chant and have come to your aid” the Ice Dragon said.

“I thank you for that I feared you would not app-“Frost-Walker was cut short as the dragon put his face directly in front of Frost-Walker huffing smoke through his massive snout.

“Be warned you little unicorn. If you make us angry or cause my people harm you will face a power far greater than death and you will feel pain every step of the way” said the dragon before breathing a great flame from his mouth. Frost-Walker gulped slightly. The rest of the armies stood at attention in silence.

“But I will serve you until the end my Lord. I congratulate your return” said the King of the Ice Dragons with a bow. The Armies soon began to chant as the ice dragon joined the ranks of his kin. The Armies were now complete and Frost-Walker was prepared for war but he needed to train them and prepare them for battle. He may have had massive numbers on his side but his troops lacked experience. If he were to send out his troops now against Celestia’s well-trained soldiers they would be slaughtered in an instant. He raised a hoof to quiet his soldiers.

“A new power is rising. Victory is at hand” the armies began to chant again but Frost-Walker raised a hoof and they quieted “But we cannot strike Celestia yet. We must train and plan for our invasion of Equestria. Only then can we take back what is OURS!” screamed Frost-Walker. The Armies started their chant again but louder and fiercer. Frost-Walker closed the ancient book.

“Equestria will fall and all who live within it” Frost-Walker said before preparing to train his massive armies for the grand invasion of Equestria.
