Prophecies of a Dragon

After Rainbowdash had written the letter, her and her friends went back to their houses. Excluding Spike, who Fluttershy insisted that he stay there to be monitored, being the kind hearted mare that they all had come to love. The next day came, and Rainbowdash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack all hastily went to Fluttershy's Cottage, to see if Spike had another prophecy. Or a reply from Twilight in regards to the previous  prophecy.

As they got to Fluttershy's Cottage Spike belched a puff of flame and a letter from Twilight arrived. Rainbowdash became elated that twilight replied so soon, then she unrolled the scroll and read aloud.

"My Dearly Beloved Dashy;

I loved the letter you sent you made my night, I was having such a terribly boring day dealing with politicians and dignitaries alike. I hope to be back soon, and when I get back to Ponyville I have a surprise for you and you will love it, hehe. I will continually think of you as I hold the feather, you gave to me on that candle lit night we preened each other for the first time. I love you my, Dashy you are my world.

Now to the rest of you girls and Spike;

I want you to follow Spikes prophecy, if a dragon told you to go, then you must go. A dragons prophecy is always important and what I think it means so far is that it's talking about us. And that's all I can make of it for now, ill do more research on it tomorrow when I have finished with the courts and politicians... I hope to hear from you again soon.

yours lovingly;

Twilight especially you, Dashy XOXO"

Rainbow blushed at the beautiful letter from her marefriend and couldn't wait to see what this mysterious surprise would be she felt overjoyed after reading the letter she knew from then on that they would be together forever.

"Ain't that sweet," Applejack commented

"I hear wedding bells in the near future," Rarity said becoming teary

"yes, yes I do believe so," Rainbowdash replied ecstatically.

Then out of the blue Spikes eyes began to glow brightly again then he said mystically

The bed starts to rock, and the rock starts to crack; the beginning of time starts once again; now you must find the map that's hidden in the place where harmony resides.

"Another riddle?" Rainbowdash said confounded

"so it would it seem dear," Rarity stated

"I have theory gals," Applejack commented

"What is it dear?"

"Yeah what is it?"

"what if the map is the friendship map that's in, Twilights Castle," Applejack explained

"It's worth a shot dear, let's go." Rarity concluded

The six of them left Fluttershy's cottage and went to Twilights Castle to see if they could find out if the map Spike spoke about was the table of friendship. But they had no clue how they would know where to look on the map. The six of them made it to the castle and went in to look for the place Spike spoke about when they reached the map room Spikes eyes began to glow once again

"The map you seek is not the place you have found, but the journey is only beginning now you must take a walk through time to find the place it all began." Spike said in a mystical tone

then suddenly the table of friendship began to sheen white, and a spot on the map began to strobe.

"That's the place where the tree of harmony is" Stated Rainbowdash.

"but why would the map lead us there?" Pinkie Pie inquired.

"I don't know, pinkie that's just where it is pointing us to go and Twilight told us to follow Spikes prophecies. So we should go to the tree of harmony, and see why the map led us there?" Applejack explained.

Apple Jack and her friends started to travel to the everfree forest to make the journey to the tree of harmony. They had been walking for about an hour now they were nearing the everfree forest, Rainbowdash was becoming tired of the endless walking that seemed to go on forever with not a thing to do. She started the journey full of vigour, vitality and eagerness for adventure. Rainbowdash was starting to become irritated with the lack of action on their quest oh how she wished twilight was here to keep her company the longing was driving her mad.

She had nearly gotten up and flew to Canterlot numerous times, but she never did because she knew that Twilight would be angry with her, and she could not cope with that. Rainbowdash found the waiting easier to cope with than Twilights wrath Rainbowdash sighed

"what's wrong Dash?" Spike inquired.

"Oh, nothing..." Rainbowdash sighed.

"You miss Twilight don't you Dash?"

"Yeah, I do it's just... just so hard to be this close to somepony yet so far away."

"I know what you mean Dash," Spike comforted.

Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy Pinkie Pie and Spike, finally made it to the everfree forest after several hours of tedious walking. What made it worse was how it started to rain about an hour before they arrived at the everfree forest and still was raining as they reached their objective.

"Finally we made it!" Rarity stated agitated at the weather

"C'mon it's just a bit of rain Rarity," replied Applejack

"But my mane A'J its RUINED!" Rarity whined

"It's just a bit of water,"

"well some of  us like to be lady like, Apple Jack," Rarity Taunted

"what's that suppose to mean Rarity?"

"come on girls stop this bickering we are about to enter a dangerous area!" Fluttershy intervened

"Your right, Flutter Shy this is no time to be fighting amongst ourselves," concluded Applejack.

The girls and the dragon started walking in the direction towards the tree of harmony to find this so called map that will lead them to whatever the riddle meant that Spike had said to them. When they finally reached the tree of harmony they looked around for anything that could reveal the map to them but they had no luck virtually. They continued to search even though they had been unsuccessful when pinkie noticed a strange rock, it was shaped like a smiley face that she found fascinating.

"Hay, girls, look at the rock over there, it looks like a smiley face hehe," Pinkie Pie stated

"Yeah, it does doesn't it, hey Spike check this out," Rainbowdash commented.

as spike looked to it his entire body began to radiate an aura of white than he started to say in his mystical tone.

"The rock that smiles lies the map dimension to change vanish to reappear anywhere but here for the rock hails the six deaths touch no longer abide."

Within a moment, later a flash of blinding light appeared and Spike and the girls vanished from sight.

~* * * *~

Rainbowdash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike, were sprawled on the ground. Slightly dazed by the recent event they gradually got to their feet only to be surprised to find out that they were in their elements of harmony state.

"Why are we like this and where in the hay are we?" Applejack said dumbstruck.

I don't know? I have never seen this place," Rainbowdash answered "FINALLY SOME ADVENTURE!" Shouted Rainbow dash elated.

"Calm down Dash we have no idea what dangers lie here,"

"I agree," Rarity commented

"I also agree," stated spike

"Me too, wait what did I agree on?" Pinkie questioned

"This place is scary," Fluttershy said quivering.

"we best find somepony to tell us where in, Tartarus are we?" Announced Applejack

The six friends walked in a direction they agreed on and traveled that way they were walking through a forest of some sorts spookier then the Everfree forest with strange roars and shadows from deep in the forest and strange blinking eyes with the feeling of being constantly watched

They were on guard. Rainbowdash became overjoyed with the amount of risk of walking through a forest they had never been before she was excited for first time in hours.

They had been walking for hours and becoming fearful by the moment when the day shifted to night even Rainbow was becoming scared even though she'd never admit it when suddenly Rarity heard a solid thumping sound in the distance.

"Do you hear that?" Rarity inquired

"Hear what?" replied Applejack

"Thump!"

"That!"

"Thump!"

"I don't hear a thing," stated Rainbowdash

"THUMP!"

"That time I heard it," Applejack said with a look of fear.

The group of friends looked towards where the thumping was coming from to be stricken with fear as they saw the giant approaching. As they were frozen from fear.They heard the giant bellow a frightening roar and charged them.

Applejack, Rainbowdash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie and Spike Began to run but came to an abrupt end when they were blocked by thick foliage they knew then that they had to fight.
