Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 20- Fulfill Your Destiny!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning and scratched my hair and then wiped some spit from across my mouth. I did a few stretches and then I heard thunder. It was raining heavily and my room had about 2 leaks. I got some buckets from the kitchen and then ran upstairs and filled up the leaks. I sighed and Monoko jumped on my bed. He licked my cheek and so I gave a long sigh and also yawned a bit more.

“Hey there wittle buddy. How you doing today?” I replied while rubbing his fur.

The clock was 10am and it was extremely dark. The rain clouds were pouring lots of rain down here. I knew that in a few minutes, the servants will get me some breakfast. I didn't want to get breakfast because I have 2 hands myself. There was a knock on the door and so I woke up out of my bed and then opened the door. Monoko was walking beside my foot. He was snuggling it and was barking a bit too. He started licking my foot which made me giggle so much. I opened the door and saw one of the servants. Her name was Vanilla Mocha. She was 15 and she was a very great servant. I don't call her that or even treat her like a servant at all.

“Good morning Princess Rainbow Dash! How can I help you today? Would you care for some breakfast?” She beamed as she took out a small notepad.

“Morning Mocha. And no, not really. What I would like is ¾ teaspoons of dog food for little Monoko here. And some water while you're at it.”

“Mhm! Anything else?”

“Well, I'm craving for some cinnamon rolls.” I blushed and scratched the back of my neck. Mocha smiled and then she wrote it down.

“Will you like the frosting with a side a whip cream?”

“Girl you know how I love my rolls.” I winked at her and we both starting laughing. It seemed like Monoko was jealous because I wasn't giving him any attention so he started barking alot.

“Oh sorry Mocha! Monoko seems like I'm not giving him any love.” I carried him in my arms and started petting him. He started barking in a loving manner. He jumped off my arms and then ran around the room.

“He's so adorable!!” Mocha cooed. “Huh, where'd you get him?!”

“Oh, a best friend of mine gave it to me.” I blushed while twirling my hair. Mocha smiled and she started laughing.

“I'm guessing it's that boy with the navy blue hair huh?”

“Wait you know Soarin?!”

“Well, I've seen him a lot when he comes to see you. Oops! Sorry for going into your personal life!”

“Mocha it's all good. No worries.”

“Well, I better get Monoko his food and water and then your cinnamon rolls. See ya later!” Mocha waved goodbye to me and closed the door behind her. I brushed my teeth and then walked out the door and was on my phone while Monoko followed me. He took his ball and was chewing it and was playing with it. I bumped into Rarity by accident.

“Hello darling! How are you feeling after yesterday?”

“Pretty good. Where's Soarin?”

“He's not in the room?”

“Uh, if he was I wouldn't be asking. Uh, no offense.”

“None taking darling. Do you want me to take a look for him?”

“If you can then yes! Thanks Rares.”

“Darling you should just take a break from all of-”

“TAKE A BREAK!!! I AM ON MY WAY!! THERE'S A LITTLE SURPRISE BEFORE SUPPER AND IT CANNOT WAITTT!!” Pinkie came out of nowhere and sang a little piece from a song from Hamilton. We both gave glares to her and she coughed.

“AH so sorry!! Anywho, heyo Dashie! What's up?!”

“I'm fine.”

Monoko barked loudly and jumped into Pinkie's arms and started licking her cheek. Pinkie started giggling and petting him too. I stood there in shock.

“What the?! He never jumped into my arms before. I always pick him up!!” I grunted in anger. Monoko looked back at me and jumped off Pinkie's arms and then when on his hind legs and then placed his top paws on my knees and barked. He wagged his tail a bit and then he jumped in my arms. I was so happy when he did!!

“AH look at my wittle Monokokins!!! Good boy!!” I squealed in happiness. Pinkie and Rarity were both happy. Rarity smiled and then she started to walk away.

“I'll let you have a good day with him. Besides, aren't we going to the um beach later on today?”

“I guess. I have no idea yet. I received a sign for a thing for my ancestors so I will need to go there today. Time is winding for me to save Gemporia.”

“Dashie can we go with you?!” Pinkie smiled. I wouldn't mind all my friends joining me. I'll need some company.

“Sure why not? Tell everyone to meet me by the lagoon at 4pm how's that?”

“Sounds good to me!” Rarity smiled and Pinkie ran to the kitchen. Mocha came and gave me Monoko’s food and my food. We walked back into my room and ate some food. After we ate, I knew Monoko was a bit full. His tummy was a bit big and I was pretty tired. But I remembered that I had to do this ancestral thingy. I picked up the music box and opened it revealing Crystal eating some chips.

“I am totally NOT taking a break!” She replied while her mouth was full of Doritos and all the cheese stains were plastered all over her mouth. I smirked at her and then she gulped down all the chips.

“Sorry Master Dashie! It was totally an accident. Usually I don't often take breaks. But, since you're not-”

“Crystal I am ready to go to the Cave of the Unforgotten and see what my ancestors will give to me so I can defeat Lord Tirek.”

“As I was saying, since you're not- Wait seriously?!?!?! You're really ready?!” She squealed in delight. I nodded my head and did a sweet smile right back at her. She zoomed all around the room and beamed.

“AHHH!! I can't wait! It's my first time there! But I heard it's a great experience for people who are chosen from their ancestors.”

“One question Crystal. Who did you guide to be chosen?”

“Only you.”

“Only….me?!”

“Yes. Why'd ya ask?”

“I dunno. I just wanted to know.”

“Well, you're the only person who ever did something like this before. You're truly special Master Dashie!! So, when are you going?”

“As soon as possible! And as soon as my food is digested.”

At 4pm….

“Ugh where is Rarity?!?!” I screamed in anger. Everyone else was fanning themselves and I was getting really really angry. Pinkie kicked some rocks into the water and Fluttershy was talking with some of the birds in the trees.

“There she is!” Twilight pointed to a panting Rarity and she was out of breath. We were all wearing some plain clothes while she wore a silver glittery dress and some high heels to match. She stared at us and we all gave her glares.

“What? We're going to the place to see your ancestors darling! I'm not going to look fabulous?” She smiled as she shook the dress back and forth and the glitter reflected the light in the sky and the light bounced on the dress and back to Sunset's eye and Sunset held her eye in pain.

“Ow! You couldn't wear something simpler?” Sunset grunted while trying to be able to see.

“Rarity, we're goin’ into a cave for crying out loud! At least wear somethin’ casual or somethin’ fittin’ and not...THIS!!” Applejack growled as she rolled her eyes in disgust.

“Well, EXCUSE me Applejack for trying so hard not make a good impression of MY ancestors too! They will want to know how genuine I've been over the years.”

“Oh for pete's sake!!! We're tryin’ ta-”

“ENOUGH!!!!” I yelled in anger. Crystal came from her hiding spot and was rubbing her ears.

“Goodness Master! I was right by your ear too!” She said while squirming a bit.

“Okay, all of this pain we're going through please let all of us calm down and follow me. Now Crystal, where was this cave again?”

“I don't know where it is. I told you I've heard of it but never went there.”

“Are you kidding me??!”

“Easy Rainbow. I'm sure we'll find some clues to finding this cave.” Twilight reassured me while placing her hand on my shoulder. I gave a long sigh as I sat down on a rock. This gave me a chance to think about it some more. I remember going into my mom's room and my aunt warning me not to go behind a bolder hidden in the room. Maybe that was the Cave! Also when I did read my mom's diary for the first time, it was talking about the same cave. I immediately jumped up from the rock and screamed loudly.

“I KNOW WHERE IT IS!!!”

“Ooohh where?!” Crystal smiled. “Oh, everyone! My name is Crystal and I'm an aspara and Master Dashie’s ancestors sent me to get her to save my country, Gemporia, from Lord Tirek and restore peace to Gemporia and to India!”

“Wait India too?”

“Yes, once Tirek has 12 of the Unforgotten gems, he's going to destroy India.”

“But why?” Fluttershy replied softly.

“Well, legend says that there's something here that Tirek wants. And that something is you.” Crystal pointed at me.

“Me??! Why me?!”

“He knows that your ancestors chose you to defeat him. And he's sending lots of evil disasters such as Grimm creatures to try to stop you from coming to Gemporia. But, I believe you'll make it. I'm here for you!” She smiled as she snuggled my cheek.

“So, lemme get this straight! Dash was called from her ancestors to defeat Tirek with some type of gem right? But Tirek knows this so he's doing everything in his power so Dash can't defeat him?” Sunset questioned as she was walking back and forth. Crystal nodded her head.

“The Nuckelavee was a test to see if she can pass his test. And once you did, he knows you're ready. He'll be expecting you through the castle doors. Whenever you receive the gift from your ancestors through this cave, your voyage begins. I’m sure he'll be testing your fighting skills each and everyday. Time is of the essence Master. He gave you 10 days to come find him.”

“Oh great! Well, we better find that cave and quickly!” Sunset stepped forth. Luckily, while we were talking, I managed to be walking towards the Cave and once Sunset said that, we reached the entrance.

“We're here.” I replied while the wind was blowing our hairs. We all stepped inside my mom's old room and I pulled the bed up and it revealed the secret underground place. Each one of us went down there and we all fell on one another. We all collapsed and made some groaning sounds.

“I'm still alive!” Pinkie exclaimed throughout the little cave. Everyone looked around and saw the beautiful crystal clear water and the purple and pink flowers how they bloomed majestically. Applejack stopped by a huge boulder and leaned against it.

“Uh Dash, is this coverin’ somethin’?” She asked while kicking the rock a bit. I stopped in front of it and saw some Hindi writing on the rock.

“Yup, that's it. The cave is behind this boulder. Applejack, do it.”

Applejack used her geode to use her super strength to pick up the boulder and throw it across the room. I got my phone's flashlight and pointed it inside the Cave. The cave was enormous!! It was pretty dark. There was a platform and also far away, there was a horn on the other side of the Cave. We all looked around in awe and saw some pictures on the wall. It was ancient stories from when our ancestors used to fight. Each Unforgotten goddess and god is a warrior in the book and the Cave as well. Crystal came out from my pocket and smiled.

“There it is! The Cave of the Unforgotten warriors! We made it! I'm guessing your ancestors shall arrive soon.”

“I hope so. I didn't come all this way for nothing.” I sighed. Pinkie was screaming “ECHO!!” for a couple of minutes and also I happen to spot the horn and looked at it carefully. It had Hindi marks written on it and also it was so big and portable too.

“Is this an Indian battle born?” Twilight replied while inspecting it. “It's so amazing to look at it in person!”

“You don't think you have to blow the horn do you?” Fluttershy asked. I touched the horn and the mouthpiece too. I looked at it and also started to place my lips on it.

“What if this is a way to channel my ancestors?” I said out loud.

“Well, there's only one way to find out.” Rarity replied. It was silent. I looked at the horn on more time and then got the opportunity to blow in the horn. One mighty loud roar of the battle horn was all it took to hear more echoes of the sound. After a few seconds it got quiet. Then, I heard another horn blow too.

“Did you hear that?!” I asked them all.

“Huh? It must've been your imagination.”

“No, I heard another horn blow. Listen.”

I blew it again and this time on the walls, there was a blue spark drifting throughout all the different connections between the Indian and Polynesian warriors throughout the room. As the spark traveled all over the room, the connection made a symbol of a flower. When this happened, more horns started to blow all at the same time. It sounded like a crescendo of horns ready for battle.

“Ladies, Dashie's ancestors hath arrived.” Crystal spoke up. As soon as she said that, the spark came together to create more sparks. The blue sparks all surrounded me and started swirling all around me causing my hair to flow dramatically. Each of the sparks, flew towards the platform and then a huge blue smoke started to form. I started shaking like a leaf and I held onto my clothes. I was walking forward towards the blue smoke. One of the sparks landed in my hand and sparkled all around me and then back to the smoke. There was a deep, yet calmly voice speaking in the smoke.

“Princess Rainbow Miriam Dash, we have chosen YOU to voyage to Gemporia to save it from utter destruction! Lord Tirek the compassionate, the god of darkness, is the new ruler of Gemporia after making a wager to Phyra the Courageous, the goddess of fire. You now must use this Sapphire. It's not an ordinary sapphire. This sapphire has a power that can defeat Lord Tirek. The power of the sapphire only reveals itself once it seeks your full potential. Rainbow Dash, we will guide you to Gemporia so you can save it! Follow your heart and fulfill your destiny!!” The voice commanded in a loud roar and gave me a necklace with a beautiful bright sapphire shaped in the middle of it. Once I received the necklace, everything went away in a split second. It was all quiet and damp. I stood there in shock still holding the necklace in my palms and then clutching onto it.

“Now that's something you don't see everyday.” Sunset spoke up as her voice cracked a bit. Probably because she couldn't believe what she just saw.

“What was that?” Fluttershy shuddered.

“It was my ancestors as a form of blue smoke. They gave me this necklace. I must keep it on at all times. We shall go back to the palace. Dinner is almost being prepared. Please don't talk about any of this on the dinner table. Agreed?” I asked placing my hand in the middle. Everyone's hand reached the middle as they all said “Agreed!” at the same time.

At the dinner table…..

“So, honey. How was your day?” My aunt asked while chewing on some chicken. I was passing the plates of food all over the table without even taking anything at all.

“It was fine.”

“Just fine?”

“Yes just fine.”

It got quiet except all the dishes clicked with one another. My father looked around the table and then shook his throat.

“You all seem very quiet all of a sudden. What's going on? Is there something any of you want to tell us?”

“Well your majesty, there is one thing.” Twilight raised her hand. “Well, your daughter has been having some feelings for this boy she seems to like.”

That's when I accidentally started choking on my drink. I started coughing like crazy. Once I was able to breathe again, I grabbed a napkin and wiped off the sides of my mouth.

“Hahahaha oh Twilight! Isn't she full of stories? Too much Science research.” I joked.

“Nope, she's absolutely right! You've been going to the lagoon with this boy for days now. I've seen the relationship you two have.” My grandmother spoke up while chewing slowly. I each gave Twilight and my grandmother a glare from the table.

“Dashie sweetie, you didn't put anything on your plate. What's the matter?” My dad asked me.

“I'm not too hungry daddy..”

“Well, you must eat something? I can ask someone to give you something else on the menu. What are you hungry for?”

“Soarin Skies~~” Pinkie wiggled her eyebrows. My cheeks were hotter than a chilli pepper.

“Shut up!”

“You are!!” She chirped.

“I mean it Pinkie Pie! Shut up!”

“Soarin Skies isn't on the menu.” My father looked at the menu and looked confused.

“He could be on Dashie's menu. I'm sure she'll take the whole meal.” Pinkie whispered to Sunset. I sat in my chair while my face was turning red as a beet. I got up from the table and grumbled.

“I'm not hungry!!” I stormed out in anger. I ran to my room and slammed the door completely shut. I plopped into my bed and a few minutes later, the door started to knock.

“Dashie?”

“Go away!”

“Dashie, I'm real sorry. It was just a joke. Please forgive me.”

I waited a while before opening the door to reveal Pinkie Pie smiling down on me.

“Uh, hehehehe hi.” She smiled sheepishly as she waved her hand a bit. I rolled my eyes and gave her a glare.

“Never joke like that again please?”

“I cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!” She crossed her heart after saying her little pinkie promise. We both hugged one another and smiled.

Transition to next scene….

“Your highness! There's no more fishes near the reef! Not one fish in sight!” A villager from the fishing cove cried out while holding up one of the fishing nets. My father stood next to me, waiting for me to make my own decisions. Today my dad was teaching me how to become a leader of India. And how to make my own decisions. I stood there looking at the ocean and the fishing net in his hand. I was wearing my flower crown on top of my head as a symbol of leadership and also was wearing a little simple dress to match. I bit my lip and sighed.

“Did you fish beyond the reef?” I asked.

“Yes your majesty! We fished everywhere and not a single one in sight!” Another villager spoke up. Some people started murmuring to themselves and it was causing a rift.

“Settle down everyone! I'll figure something out!” My father tried to calm them down. All my friends finally caught up with me and asked questions.

“What's going on?” Fluttershy asked.

“Well there's no more fish.” I sighed as I kicked a rock with my foot.

“No more? Did they go beyond the-”

“Yes they went beyond the reef.” I rolled my eyes in anger.

“If this keeps happening, we'll have to find a new source for food.” Sunset shrugged her shoulders. Her thought actually gave me an idea.

“Sunset you're a genius! Everyone attention please!!”

Everyone got quiet and everyone was looking at me.

“I know what we can do. Maybe this part of the ocean isn't good enough! Maybe if we-”

“Your highness not to interrupt but we fished throughout the whole Indian Ocean and no fish to be seen.” Chief Orion spoke up while sighing a bit. I bit my lip harder. Soon every cove was standing around listening to my command. I saw Soarin and he gave me a scared look as if he was terrified. His face made my heart break into little pieces.

“Wait everyone. Lemme get a chance to speak please! Now, that I heard that Chief Orion said that he and his workers fished everywhere, there's only one more thing we can do.” I spoke up with a bit more confidence in my voice. “We have to go into the forest where the protectors work in and go hunt for food!”

There was huge uproar and everyone started talking about it! My father looked a bit upset but that didn't stop me from talking.

“Rainbow Dash, what are you doing?” He asked in anger. I grabbed a spear and held it in my hands.

“I mean it! Why don't we hunt again?! We did it before I'm sure we can do it again! Who cares about what the past had made us become? We can change the past by learning from our mistakes and develop our future together!”

People started to agree with me and my dad grew more furious. Soarin smiled and he held my hand and blushed.

“I agree with you Dash! I'm sure there's a way we can get food!” He smiled which made me turn away and blush deeply. I'm guessing my father saw and that's when he grew fairly upset. He grabbed the spear away from me and threw it on the ground. He looked at me and slapped me in the face extremely hard. The stinging of that smack hurt so badly and my left side of my cheek was a deep shade of red. It got extremely quiet and I held my cheek. Tears were streaming down my face.

“How many times do I have to tell you there is no fighting in India!!” He yelled in my face. “You're so stubborn!”

“Mom was right to leave you in the first place!!!!” I screamed back at him and ran away.

“Rainbow Dash!!” He called out to me but I didn't hear him. I ran far away from the plaza and finally rested by the lagoon. I sat under a tree and watched how the wind was controlling the water to create waves. The beautiful orange and purple glare of the sunset was gorgeous. I was crying so much and I was sniffing a lot. I heard leaves rustling and I heard a very familiar voice.

“I knew I'd find you here.”

I looked up with my tearful eyes and saw Soarin with a tissue in his hand and giving me a dorky smile.

“T-Thank you.” I sniffed while cracking a smile. He sat next to me and gave me the tissue. I wiped my tears and my nose with it and placed the tissue near me on the other side.

“I'm real sorry about what your dad did to you. Is your face okay?”

“Yeah, it hurts badly though.”

“I figured. You wanna hug?”

“Ya sure.”

We both hugged one another but this hug felt different. It felt more loving and compassionate. We kept hugging and hugging each other until we both tried to gasp for air. We broke apart and then we stared into each other's eyes. I broke the awkward moment by looking at the sky.

“Nice sunset huh?”

“Yeah its pretty cool. You should apologize to your dad for saying that to him.”

“Not if he apologies for slapping me in front of everyone.”

“Well, either way one of you have to say sorry. That's how I learned. I'm sure you can do it too. Well, I better go home. My mom's probably was wondering where I am. See ya tomorrow Dashie. Sleep well.”

“Thank you Soarin. You too.”

I walked back to the palace and saw my father in his room a bit frustrated. I knocked on the door and smiled at him.

“Daddy, I'm real sorry so lashing out today. Can you forgive me?”

“Rainbow Dash! I'm real sorry for slapping you today. I got angry. Everytime I hear the word fight or anything to do with fighting, it just reminds me of Phyra…”

“Daddy, it's alright. I know you're angry but don't get your anger out on others. It's not good. I better sleep. G'night daddy. Love you.” I said softly while kissing his cheek.

We both gave each other hugs and then smiled. It was officially nighttime and I changed into my pajamas and went to sleep. What I didn't know was that something was going to cause some trouble….
