I stood in the void, still pondering the results of the last Events before I was sent to this blank place. The last thing I remember was activating my last resort spell to win the battle...

'He will pay should he still be alive!!!' I mentally screamed as I endlessly drifted. I returned to the same question I have been thinking for many years...
Would I walk this plain of nothingness for all eternity? It's seemed to have been forever since I entered this infernal place. And out of all the questions I've had, this one question keeps coming back to me... at some times, I think I see a red door, but I always chalk that up to my insanity of the Same, exact,THING!!! I saw shadows in those mist in the abyss of a place, they were memories of my life before the war that was waged upon myself, and my people.

The door was there, OFF in the distance once again... ' I really thought if you were going insane, you would see a variety of different things...' I deadpanned. I rolled my eyes as I began walking to the door. I only had one thing to say as I finally reached the door which was now green for some reason... "oh well... JERONIMOOOOOoooooo!!!" I hollered as I opened the door, and jumped through.

I groaned as I opened my eyes to see, at first just endless white...

"It's so cold... it's almost as if I-..."my vision cleared as I started into the endless field of snow and ice. "Oh... This is going to be dreadful..." I said with disdain. My grimace was quickly replaced with a smirk as I returned from my muddled state left from the insanity of the abyss. Smoke started to rise from my nostrils as I opened my mouth to reveal a blue glow from deep within my throat.

Meanwhile, in the Crystal Empire, Cadence looked out towards the unforgiving landscape from atop the balcony. With the weather being calm and without the natural snowfall and the wind was still, she was relaxed.

'No blizzards, Windigos, and nopony trying to take over the empire. Finally, just a normal day...' Shining Armor walked onto the platform and rested on the balcony, looking dead tired from training the guards all morning.

"I'm glad to finally have a day to rela-" he started to say before they felt a wave of intense heat hit them. They both looked left and saw a glowing blue light on the horizon. "Well, there went the good day."Shining said as he hurried into the castle to prepare to search for the cause of the strange phenomenon out in the snow.

"Shining wait! If something is out there, we'll meet it soon enough. We need to to prepare if this is a threat!" Cadence called. He nodded, then continued into the castle. Around a minute later, Shining rounded the corner and collided into a messenger.

"Sir!, the scouts spotted a blast of blue fire northeast of the kingdom walls, we don't know what caused it, but it can't be good." He finished with a worried, almost scared face. "What should we do?!" Shining Armor gave indication to follow him, and started to run toward the exit on ground level.

(Emerald POV)

I walked at a brisk pace toward the castle that loomed in the distance with myself on fire, hoping to get an answer for why the area was frozen as it currently was. As I walked, I started to plan out my reactions according to certain scenarios that could happen.

'I doubt that they would be out here, we hate the cold. That's why I set myself on fire, as I am immune to my own... and I'm cold.' I thought, amused by my own thoughts. I stopped and quickly became somber as I now stood 500 meters from the kingdom wall. My eyes wandered up and I quickly saw ponies in the 2 watch towers that guarded the entrance. ' They don't notice me yet...'
I snuffed out the fire that covered me, and smirked dispite the heat leaving my body.

I sped up my walk, then started to jog. This continued until I was at my full running speed, then I jumped and opened my wings and gained altitude. From my new perspective of the guards I could see that they were all armed with bows and swords, meaning that they weren't completely passive and could be hostile toward myself .

I heard a loud thud and looked down to see the gates opening, and a contact group exiting. I circled around to land, and turned around so I would be facing the group, and I landed with a loud thump. I made sure to make myself known... It worked. After the group whipped around to see me, I was immidatly charged by an earthpony. I dodged in time to only get a shallow cut on the side of my kneck. I jumped away before he could turn around.' They're trying to kill me...' my eyes narrowed as the elite guard charged again.

(Shining Armor's POV)

As I turned around, I saw the unknown pony dodge the blade of private Lance's sword and only get a small cut on their neck. They jumped away and took a defensive stance. I was about to order the private to stand down but was too late, he was already right next to the unknown pony. As the guard barreled forward, the stranger jumped to the side again, but this time, they extended their wing. The guard slid to a stop behind and to the side of the unknown pony. I was confused, why did Lance stop. The guard looked at his chest, then to the stranger's wing.it had a single claw at its midpoint. The guard fell over into his own pool of blood... Dead. My eyes widened in fear; the stallion's wing talons we're sharp enough to cleanly slice through our guards armor and dig deep enough to inflict a mortal wound.

"Who's Next?" He asked coldly as he flicked blood of his claw. We held eye contact and I immediately regretted it.

'I'm dead...' I thought as we held our stare. Nopony made a move as we just stood there... by this point, everypony had drawn there respective weapons, none of us blinked. I gave a nervous chuckle ,

"Many we can solve this diplomatically???" I slowly put my sword into its sheath in a gesture of good faith, signaling others to do the same. He slowly exhaled and relaxed a bit.' Thank Celestia.' I thought with relief.. ' This is going to be a long day'...
