The Weather Mare

Misty was walking through the everfree forest on her way to an old cavern. She had found this cavern many years ago, and it was her favorite place to go. It was so quiet. There was a beautiful waterfall with flowers around it. She was almost there when the wind blew a gentle breeze that smelled of dry leaves and pumpkin spice,the smell of the autumn air. Dry leaves and sticks crackled under her hooves as she walked. She loved autumn. It was an amazing season. The beautiful colors, the warm and cool breezes, the pumpkins she got to pick and make pie with. It was beautiful to her.Her blue and green stripped scarf fluttered around her neck as the wind blowed. She smiled as the breeze came by. She slowly walked along the path, kicking a stone as she hummed a tune her mother used to sing to her. she walked closer and noticed a dirt path that branched off into another part of the forest. The path had dead flowers and a funny smell emitting from it. It was a normal path, but it looked evil. But the thing that bothered her the most was that she was sure it wasn't there before. She had walked this path thousands of times and never once noticed it there. She cautiously looked down it. It led into part of the forest that the light was scarce. She didn't like the dark. It was scary. And she was frightened easily. But she had a lantern in her saddlebag. She pulled out the lantern and hung it from her saddlebag, lighting it.

She turned down the path and followed the dirt road lined with flowers that had passed on. The darkness loomed around her, but she saw a light nearby. As she walked towards the light, she looked at some of the flowers. She could swear there was something different about them, but she ignored it.

She walked into an opening that had sunlight beaming down into it. It was oddly placed. In the middle of the dark path she had never seen before, just a random clearing. It was exceptionally warm and there were no leaves on the trees or ground. But there was something even weirder than that, something that urked her. A small snowflake landed on her muzzle. It was SNOWING.

"Snow? How is there sno-?" She said but was cut off by a blue wisp of snow, different from the others. fluttering past her and into a black cave. It was bigger than the rest of the white snowflakes, and caught her eye easily. She entered the dark cave cautiously, hoping that the snowflake meant something.If not, she would be fearing nothing. There was a light coming from around a corner, easily visible in the dark, along with some muffled laughter and other strange noises. Misty drew closer and heard the laughter clear, along with voices.

"Drink it!" She heard from somepony.

Then she heard the sound of a spit take. Followed by somepony struggling.

"DRINK IT!" She heard again. Misty couldn't hold back her curiosity. She picked up a rock and slowly walked into the room. There was a pegasus strapped to a chair having a chalice filled with black liquid shoved at her muzzle. The liquid bubbled and fizzed with black magic sparks. It looked like a liquid nightmare. The unicorn forcing the chalice was standing there with evil black and orange eyes. Misty threw the rock and it hit the chalice, sending the liquid flying. The Unicorn looked at Misty

"How DARE you spill my brew It took me a long time to make that!" She yelled. "No matter. I will just use force." The Unicorn said looking at the pegasus with her horn charged up with swirly black magic.

"No!" The pegasus yelled.

Misty jumped in between them just as the Unicorn fired two spurts of magic. One of them Reflected off of Misty's lantern, the other hitting Misty in the back leg. Misty fell to the ground, barely breathing as she slowly was drained of her life. The other reflected shot hit the unicorn's horn.

"GEAH!!!!" The unicorn yelled. She fell to the ground, reaching up at the air and said,

One day....I will...get my revenge....and those powers!" Before falling lifeless onto the floor. The magic restraints holding the pegasus fell off and she ran to the pony who saved her. She was cold, barely a heartbeat. She was going to die. The pegasus looked down sadly at the dying pony.

"I'm sorry..." She said. A massive pain washed over her.

"Ah!" She grunted. She had drank a drop or two of the poison. She was dieing to.

It's not to late for her... She thought to herself. She didn't want to give up what was hers. She didn't want to die, but it had to be. Her body was already doing it. She was glowing and spurts of energy flowed from her into the almost lifeless pony in front of her.

Misty opened her eyes to a blinding light. She looked at the pony standing in front of her, glowing and attached to her with some weird strands of light.

"What is this!? What's going on!? Who are you!?" Misty asked.

The pegasus smiled faintly.

"I am Mother Nature. And one of my children has saved me. But now, I must return the favor."

Suddenly the white light stopped and the pegasus fell to the floor. Misty ran over and checked for heartbeat.

"She's......dead...."
