The Return of the Ice Queen

           Twilight turned on the lamp by the chair she sat in as she opened the book with her magic. She was quite eager to read on Star Swirl's viewpoint on windigoes. She read the first paragraph, her excitement turning to confusion. It read

While I was in the northern part of this new land I noticed a village. I went in, and what a welcoming sight. The ponies were not against one another, they worked and had a thriving community together despite their differences. In addition to unicorns, earth ponies, and pegasi, there were also griffons, one or two minotaurs.  This community welcomed me with opened arms, quite friendly. One particular mare stuck out. She had a light lavender coat, teal mane and tail that hung loosely, and sparkling green eyes. She was a unicorn and her cutiemark was a crystal columbine. She introduced herself as Crystal Blossom and offer me a room to stay in her inn she ran.

I soon learned more about this interesting village. They called it Peaceful River. Apparently there was a frozen river on the north side of the village that, when melted, would bubble softly even if there was a frightening flood. Not just that, but they had visitors from the Frozen North, called windigoes. When I first saw them I almost died of fright. They were transparent creatures with glowing blue eyes and swirls. It was practically impossible to distinguish who was who. They reminded me of the changeling creatures I had met, all alike. Except for the royal family. At the time there was a single King named FrostFire. He often came to Peaceful River, mostly to talk to Crystal Blossom. They were quite close friends.

One day I asked him if I may see Frozen North for myself. He gave a hearty laugh and said of course I could come. He himself swirled around me, flew towards the north, and the next thing I knew we were in his kingdom. FrostFire gave me a tour and I learned quite a lot about windigoes. They ate hate and fear, yet were some of the kindest creatures I knew. They usually ate hate from a creature called a Loki, not from ponies. However, there was a rogue group who thought that ponies were only useful for providing hate and caused the king a headache. I learned that he didn't want to lose any treaties that could be made. The kingdom was the most jolliest place ever. Windigoes were quite good with performing plays, hosting circuses, or just making somepony else feel special. Something I noticed which seemed impossible is that practically no windigoe was desperately poor. I asked FrostFire and he said that windigoes were thriving so well that all could afford what they needed and some wantings. I noticed too that he and Crystal Blossom were getting very close to one another. Apparently, the king needed an heir, but kings here were only aloud to marry someone they loved, not the powerful. And it needed to be a daughter. Kings ruled for a hundred years, then Queens did, and so forth.

Twilight put a hoof to her chin. This was very interesting. It seemed that the windigoes were not heartless monsters, only that particular group that went rogue. She fliped to chapter two, and her heart seemed to stop. It read

CHAPTER TWO: BIRTH OF SNOWFROST

I was happy to hear about FrostFire and Crystal Blossom getting together. She had a more shy attitude and would rather be working on growing flowers that were made of crystals. FrostFire would rather have a good joke than a good dinner and often went to bars. I went with him. He was not an achloholic in the least. Anyway, it was an odd paring to be sure but it was so full of true love no one could help but approve it. Well, eleven months later I was pleased to be invited to the party in honor of the birth of a princess. I looked at her and she was absolutely adorable. A soft white coat with the customary blue swirl all windigoes had on their forleg and above her closed eyes. She had her mother's mane and tail. She was a pegasus with spiky wings that almost looked like alicorn wings but not quite. She then sneezed and opened her eyes, soft blue orbs that perfectly resembled her father. FrostFire asked me the honor of naming her, as he and Crystal Blossom appointed me as the filly's Faust-father. I named her Snowfrost because of her snow colored scheme. She liked me as the first word she said was Staw Swil. Whenever I came over to visit she-

             "Twilight Sparkle! We have been looking all over for you!" Came Celestia's booming voice. Twilight yelled and dropped the book.

She stammered,

"Princess Celestia! I'm sorry but I think I found something that could help us." Celestia turned her attention to the book.

She read the covered and said

"I remember that book. May I read it with you? I don't remember all the parts. Perhaps something in there could help us." Twilight nodded and they returned to reading.
