The Return of the Ice Queen

                Rainbow Dash tossed and turned in her bed, sleep being impossible. She and Crystal-light had gone to a play called The Pony of the Opera. It was strange to see something that resembled Equestria, yet was performed by windigoes. Rainbow heard a muffled yelp from somewhere in the castle and, fearing somepony was in trouble, made up her mind to go and see what it was. She got out the bed, softly opened the door, closing it behind her, before walking to where she heard the sound. Her hooves hesitantly moved, trying not to alert a guard. She heard another yelp and realized it was coming from the throne room.

             She peered in and almost frozed in horror. Snowfrost was in front of ten foals, Fleetwind by her side. She picked up one, a filly with green eyes and a golden mane and tail. Her coat was the color of amber, devoided of any cutiemark.

Snowfrost spoke in a gentle tone,

"What is your name, little one, and where are you parents?"

The filly gulped in some air before saying,

"M-my name is Amber Heart and I d-dont have any parents. I-I live on the streets."

Snowfrost said,

"Not anymore. You have a new family, here, waiting for you. Do you accept?"

Amber Heart looked at her, the whispered,

"T-truly?" Snowfrost nodded.

Amber Heart said

"A-alright." Snowfrost lit up her horn and magic consumed the filly. She yelped, the same yelps Rainbow had been hearing. Snowfrost gritted her teeth, a blinding flash commenced, all was quiet. Rainbow uncovered her eyes and gasped. Amber Heart was now a filly windigoe. Green eyes and golden mane was all that remained, until Amber's tail morphed into back legs and a golden tail.

Snowfrost said,

"Your name is Amber Wind now. Icestar, take her to her parents please." Icestar, whom Rainbow had not seen earlier, stepped out from the shadows and took Amber's hoof, guiding her away. The rest of the foals still looked on with a little fear, but also courage. Rainbow zoomed in and put herself protectively in front of them.

She yelled and Snowfrost,

"Kidnapping foals!? Are you kidding me?"

Snowfrost frowned and said

"Well, excuse me if I am giving these foals a new and better life. They were orphans, living on the street. I am giving them parents and a home!"

Rainbow snarled and responded,

"Buck you. You and your 'self righteous' excuses won't work with the Princesses!"

Snowfrost gritted her teeth and said in a chilling voice,

"Move aside Rainbow Dash. Don't anger me."

Rainbow scoffed and shot back,

"Oh, and is this the 'kind society' Crystal-light told me about? It's pretty dumb if you do this."

"IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOUR BLASTED HEARTH'S WARMING EVE I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS!"

Silence. That was the one word to describe what Rainbow realized had happened.

She glared at Snowfrost and said,

"Let me get out of your mane and go home."

"Gladly," Snowfrost snapped, "If you can find it." With a determined look Rainbow flew outside, heading south. Fleetwind, not wanting the foals to get caught in the crossfire, took them to a different room, along with other windigoes, to finish converting them. Snowfrost took a deep breath before looking outside. She and the windigoes could fly in the harsh winds, but what chance did Rainbow have if the Princesses couldn't do it?

She groaned and banged her head with her hoof before muttering,

"Stupid, stupid mare."

She flew out of the throne room, following Rainbow's direction.
