Zecora's Prediction

  It was a sunny afternoon in Canterlot. Phoenixflight was flying home from school. Everything was going pretty well. At least until the class bully, Golden Shimmer showed up to do one final tease for the day. "Phoenix Flight and Lightning Chaser, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" she sang. "Golden Shimmer, for the last time, he's just my friend. My real boyfriend is Night Spectrum!" Phoenix Flight explained. "But...but you're partners in Science Class!" Golden Shimmer whined. Ugh. Rich kids. Phoenix Flight thought. "TELL ME: IS LIGHTNING CHASER YOUR BOYFRIEND????? IF YOU SAY NO, I'LL THROW YOU INTO THE EVERFREE FOREST!!!!!" Golden Shimmer shrieked. Phoenix Flight said the cold, hard truth. "No. Lightning Chaser is not my boyfriend. Night Spectrum is." she said. Golden Shimmer shrieked. She used her unicorn horn on Phoenix Flight. The ice-blue aura lifted her up into the sky, and launched her into the Everfree Forest. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed. SPLOOSH! The water envoked her. She swam back up again and gasped for air. She was.. in Zecora's backyard. "Ah! What do I hear? I hope it is not those trouble-making deer!" Zecora rhymed. "Zecora! It's you!" said Phoenix Flight. Zecora was one of her closest friends. "Phoenix Flight, my faithful friend! Come into my hut, and I will tell you the reason you attend!" she said. When they went into the hut, Phoenix Flight sat in front of Zecora.

"Ah, my friend, the future is near! And it is something you don't want to hear!" she explained. "Earlier today, what you said to Golden Shimmer, she thinks you are lying! Why, oh why?" she told the teenage pegasus. "Why would that affect my future?" Phoenix Flight asked. "Youngling, your Equestria now won't last for long! Soon your life will go horribly wrong!" Zecora predicted. Then, she put ingredients in her cauldron and stirred them well.  Colorful smoke came up from the pot. "Look and see, your future is there..." Zecora said. The smoke projected a image. Phoenix Flight could not believe her eyes. The four races: Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, and Alicorn were fighting, locked in a war for supremacy.  Then she saw Night Spectrum, cornered by Golden Shimmer. The unicorn pointed her sharp horn at him. Then, there was a scream of agony and the sound of somepony being impaled with something sharp. The smoke cleared up. "All of that my friend, is all your fault." Zecora said. "Zecora, do your predictions come true?" Phoenix Flight nervously asked. "Most of the time, my friend. Most of the time." Zecora answered stoicly.  Then she walked away. Later, Phoenix Flight flew home. She was worrying a lot by the time she got to her house.

"Mom! I'm home." Phoenix Flight said. Dream Sky turned around, her straight shimmery silver and periwinkle hair flowing when she moved. "Hello, Phoenix Flight! You took 15 extra minutes getting home.  What took you so long?" She asked.

Phoenix Flight's fire-colored mane tossed around as Phoenix Flight blew on it nervously. She couldn't tell her mom what happened! She would get grounded! Forever! "Oh...I played a brief game of Pickaxes and Pegasi! My group was fighting...a..um...GIANT PHOENIX! Yeah, a giant evil phoenix!" she lied. Dream Sky scowled, but smiled again. "Okay. I know how much you like that game.  Dinner's ready at six." she said. Phoenix Flight immiediatly flew to her room. She slammed the door, and sprawled on her bed. Oh no....what am I going to DO? she thought.

"I cast Harmony Blast on the orc!" Diamondstar announced. She rolled the dice. It showed 12, just TWO points away from the orc's armor points. Lighting Chaser rolled his dice, because he was Game Keeper. He rolled a number beyond Diamond Star's mage's armor points. He rolled again for damage. "The orc slices Diamond Star, suceeds, and dous 13 damage!"
