Chapter 2: The Dragon

Nyla said, "W-Well, we can't just stand here and do nothing! We have to find the ashes!"

The five girls agreed and ran into the dark, sinister woods. As they ran deeper and deeper into the woods, it became brighter as they ran straight forward towards the Castle Of The Two Sisters. They stopped.

"Goodness Celestia, t-they're.. DRAGONS!!" screamed Lively, Zenith quickly covered her mouth with her hoof, hoping that nopony heard her.

The six of them resumed walking behind the trees, looking at the humongous dragon with ashes by its tummy. It wasn't just ashes, they were eggs. Dragon eggs are known to be radiating red. Scorching hot flames that engulfed the shells protect them from any harm. Written terribly fear of fire and dragons since she was a little filly, her parents died in a fire. She still could not overcome over it.

The dragon was sound asleep at the entrance of the castle, blocking the girls from entering. There was only one way to get inside and it was the windows. The windows were very high and only Dawn and Angelic had wings. The others were only Earth Ponies and Pegasi. Zenith had informed them that luckily, she had learnt a floating spell when she was young. Zenith was unsure at first upon successfully casting the spell but with the encouragement of her friends, it worked! Zenith and the three others floated straight up to the windows as Angel and Dawn followed. It wasn't easy floating with a new temporary sense of equilibrium.

All of them landed safe and a little bit of smooth inside the castle. For what it seems, they were currently inside a library. Zenith was glad there wasn't any some sort of dangerous trial or harm to go through, yet. She thought of a plan to find a book about dragons. She asked everypony to find every book they can find consisting about dragons. The ponies, in groups of two, galloped off to find the books. Angelic was the clumsy one within her friends. She was not aware of her surroundings within the library as her eyes were shut and she was humming while flying around. Suddenly, she bumped into a big statue. It fell and made a loud 'bang,' her friends gasped. The dragon woke up as soon as it heard the sound, it quickly got up and looked through the windows, it spotted the six mares.

Chapter 1: The Return Of Him

It was the crack of dawn, when a new day arrives. Zenith woke up in her quiet and peaceful room. She got up, made her bed and went to shower. A few moments later, Zenith went to the kitchen to fetch some cereal from the counter. There were loud knocks on her door, it interrupted her breakfast, she always hates getting interrupted on important events. As she trots to the door, she saw her friends outside the window, waiting patiently for Zenith. As Zenith swung open the door, Lively gave her a hug.

"Happy birthday, Zenith! Sorry we couldn't buy you gifts since we were all low on bits.." said Lively. She went inside of Zenith's house, followed by her friends. Zenith was shocked as it was the first time she had forgotten her own birthday, she was lucky to have such wonderful friends.

Zenith went inside and gave out blueberry muffins to everypony. She always knew that her friends loved muffins, especially if it is blueberry. Zenith and her friends celebrated her birthday by playing classic games, watching horror movies and telling stories. As time went past, Zenith was sound asleep on her bed as her friends went back to their respectful houses and slept through the night.

Suddenly, a loud noise roared through the entire land of Ponyville. Zenith had been awaken by the noise, she was curious of what it was she decided to go out and find whatever thing that made the noise. She went to her friends houses and called for them. The six of them threw search parties around Ponyville but seemed to be lost. They can't find anything, but there was a clue. Dawn and Nyla saw pieces of glowing ashes flew right through Ponyville and into the Everfree Forest. They spotted a glowing light behind the trees. Dawn and Nyla ran to find the rest of they're friends and told them about the ashes.

Dawn swung to her words, "Girls, girls! We saw something! I-It was red, glowing a-ashes! They flew right across the town and into the Everfree Forest! Y-You saw that right, Nyla?" Nyla nodded in agreement. Angelic added, "I saw that! At first I thought they were my imagination.."

"We have to go to the Everfree Forest this instant!" Dawn demanded, stomping a hoof on the ground.

The girls swung into action and ran to the edge of Ponyville. Written gulped, "Well, this is it, there Everfree Forest.."

Chapter 3: Element of Loyalty

The dragon spoke, "Alrightly, which one of you ponies was the disturbance of my sleep?" he started off friendly-like.

Everypony kept quiet, especially Angelic. She was afraid that if she admitted, she might not be able to see her friends ever again. But she felt that if she didn't admit, her friends might be the one in trouble, so she took a deep breath, and..

"It was me!" she shouted, putting a hoof down to the ground.

Zenith whispered, "Angelic! What are you doing?!! You don't want to DIE don't you?! Are you even listening?!! ANGELIC!"

She was silenced by the dragon, "SILENCE! Somepony tell me the truth NOW or you will all suffer in death by my hot, burning! Flames.."

The girls saw darkness in his eyes. They were all shivering in fear for they had never knew that dragons were very downright evil. Written defended  her friend, "No, don't listen to her! It was me! She was just trying to protect me! From, from... you" her ears dropped.

The dragon quickly snatched Written as soon as she finished speaking. "Written! No!!!" the girls screamed in horror, eyes widen.

"Say a little goodbye, madam, for your future awaits in my hungry, hungry tummy..." he rubbed his tummy slowly.

Written gulped, "Girls, all I want you to know is that.. You have always been there for me. Don't ever let your fears take over you. Keep on doing what you do best, being my true friends.. I love you...." she closed her eyes, smiling with tears of pride and joy.

"Farewell, little fool" the dragon grinned, frowning.

As soon as Written's mane touched the tip of the dragon's tooth, a spark shone bright. The ground was shaking, Written was glowing as bright as sunlight. She rose up in the air, as well as the spark. It gently touched her heart and came a sonic boom. Written's eyes were shimmering white, her mane and tail, sparkling. As soon as she slowly landed on the ground, safely, her friends rushed to her in shock. Written was surprised to see a golden bracelet worn her left hoof, a musical note magically appeared on it. It was just like her cutie mark. It represented the element of Loyalty for her bravery and courage.
