The Prophecy

“If you want man to be happy, give him someone to love. If you do not, give him hope for better future. And if you do not, give him something to do.”

~Andrzej Sapkowski

Prologue

Twilight Sparkle was not having her very best day. Her latest experiment seemed to be going to be delayed again. She was searching for one of priceless gems of sight which her friend, Rarity helped her to find. There was five in first place, and now one was missing.

'Spiiiike!' she yelled.

Suddenly, rainbow blur zoomed into the shed where Twilight was working. A proud pegasus, Rainbow Dash stopped and dropped what she was holding: a purple and green baby dragon which was tightly hugging a gorgeous crystal.

'You were looking for him, or rather for this thing here?' Rainbow Dash asked pointing her hoof at the large jewel. Twilight gave Spike a smirk of a serial murderer.

'I'd rather stick with the gem, thank you.' She said coldly, but little dragon knew she meant something much more scary, like “Get out of here before I gut you”

'You are too stressed, Twi' He said nonchalantly 'You need to chill out'

Then he left in hurry, chased by lavender unicorns sight. After a while of silence, Rainbow Dash spoke.

'It was hard to find you. Applejack told me you should be here'

Twilight put away the gem dropped by Spike

'You know, sometimes I need to work alone, in peace and quiet'

'No, no. It's alright. You know what is next week?'

'I am sorry, but I have not a slightest idea. Would you like to remind me?' Twilight said with sarcasm.

'You are town egghead. I expected you to tell me about at least three things that happen next week. Anyway, I was talking about Fluttershy's birthday.'

'Oh well, now I do remember. Of course it is. But what do I have to do with it? I thought Pinkie was always the one throwing parties and stuff.'

'Actually, she is. But me and Derpy are helping a little.'

'You and who, excuse me?'

'Derpy, you know, the blonde pegasus who ruined town hall'

'Ah, she' Twilight giggled 'Sorry, today I have a little problem with remembering things. Maybe I am really a little bit stressed?'

'Uh, and we need your help with those fireworks which we bought from Zecora. They costed us, well, they costed Rarity pretty sum of bits'

'Yeah, I guess I can help you with it. I just have two questions. Do you really think asking someone like Derpy for help is really a good idea? And don't you think that Fluttershy might be scared of fireworks, too?'

'Trust me on this one' Rainbow replied booping Twilight's nose 'I know what I am doing'

“I hope so” Unicorn thought.

'Now  please tell me, Twilight, what are you doing here, on far end of Sweet Apple Acres in a shed?'

'I... I was trying to create stable portal between here and Applejack's house' Twilight said, not sure if her lie was good enough.

'Isn't is a bit, you know, dangerous?'

'Oh, nonononono, It is one hundred percent safe. I found Starswirl's the Bearded manuscript in Canterlot library, and improved its knowledge a little, so...'

'Don't lecture me, Twilight. If it is really safe, I think I believe you. Can I go now?'

'Actually, Rainbow, I could use some help of a pegasus. Could you take care of weather around here? You see, casting this spell has a chance to cause a storm, which could be a teeniest, tiniest bit dangerous.'

'Meh.' Cyan pony  was disappointed, but she was not going to leave Twilight hanging. 'I guess I don't have anything better to do right now. You starting now?'

'Just a moment' Unicorn said as her horn started to glow dimly. She set up her accessories and gems.

'Now you can go, Dash'

When colorful pegasus left, Twilight concentrated he will. She knew that it was not a simple spell, and she was going to try it anyway. She focused all her magical power available.

'Here comes nothing' She said to herself.

To be continued.
