Chapter 1

The Story Of The Ghost

The Crystal Empire is a glorious nation made of crystals and happy ponies. If you were to look at it ten years ago, ponies and other creatures would say otherwise. The nation had its fair share of toughness over the years. The nation had once been ruled by the evil tyrannical ruler, King Sombra. But, later it had been saved by a samurai that is now in Equestria and beyond, seen as a hero and legend.

In the Crystal Palace, was a young alicorn filly, that had light opal eyes. Her mane was a gradient of light cerise to greyish violent with light arctic blue highlights. Her coat is light magenta is grey with tinges of pale, light greyish fuchsia. Her name was Flurry Heart. Her parents are princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shining Armor. Her aunt is princess Twilight Sparkle which is direct because of her father. She has an uncle also that is... she doesn't actually know. She had never bothered to ask and did feel kind of guilty about it the more she thought of it.

She was currently in her room drawing a samurai that had already been sketched out. From her understanding, this samurai was a real samurai. She had heard about a mighty warrior called The Ghost. She didn't know whether it was real or not. She was gonna ask her mother about it when she was gonna tell her a bedtime story.

She did go to school like everypony else. In fact, she went to the friendship school that her aunt owns. She was ten years old, and was always eager to learn, and had made a lot of friends at the friendship school. Outside of the school, and many other nations around Equestria and beyond that she had visited was a statue that showed a samurai warrior that was surprisingly named The Ghost. Her eyes widened. Could it be real? Was there a real warrior out there protecting every creature in Equestria and beyond?

All of a sudden there was a knock on Flurry Hearts door. Her door behind her, and was made out of metal mixed with crystal. Her room was bluish with pink highlights. Her bed covers had the Crystal Heart drawn on to them. She turned around and saw that it was her mom. She jumped out of her chair and rushed to her.

It all happened too fast, Cadance wasn't sure she knew to a full extent what happened. All she knew, was that her daughter was clinging onto her. She smiled and nuzzled her daughter. She got up on her hooves and saw how Flurry Heart released her and was staring at her mother intently.

"Now Flurry, it's time for bed!" Cadance said, in a cheery voice. Flurry heart smiled widely and rushed to her own bathroom that had been installed as she didn't like walking down the long empty corridors. Or, not 'empty' corridors, since, the Crystal guards were always on the look-out to make sure there aren't any threats nearby.

While Flurry Heart was brushing her teeth, Cadance walked up to the drawing her daughter was colouring. She smiled widely when she saw who it was. 'The Ghost' Cadance though, to herself. She had met him a few times. Then again, it was Spike who was the hero of Equestria. She remembered when he had saved them all, he was alive of course, but he rarely showed himself. She wondered if he would ever show up again, he hadn't made a 'normal' appearance as in he didn't hurt or injured some creature. Otherwise, Spike's legend was still told, and several books had been written about him and his heroic acts. How he came to be, how he had ended the tyrannical ruler, and how he had sacrificed himself...

All of a sudden, there was a blur, and Flurry Heart was in her bed. Looking at her mother expectantly. Cadance laughed. She dearly hoped her daughter would never change. She walked towards her daughter and sat on the bed.

"Which story do you want to hear tonight?" Cadance asked, looking at her daughter who looked to be lost in thought. Flurry Heart didn't have an idea on which story she wanted to hear. She had heard so many already, but there had to be something.

"Mom, could you tell me about The Ghost? I've seen the statues a few times, and the samurai as my drawing book says, looks quite important." Flurry said, making her mother proud. She had become a lot more observant over the years.

"I'm glad that you asked that. You see-" Cadance started, but the door was opened which interuppted what she was about to say. They looked and saw that it was Shining Armor who looked apologetic.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, but I thought it was important to tell you that Spike is coming," Shining said, making Cadance eyes widen in shock and joy.

"Really?!" Cadance asked, to which Shining just grinned in confirmation. Flurry just looked confused. Shining saw this and smiled a little. Hopefully, he was gonna be allowed to tell her the bloody story that her uncle went through to keep Equestria safe.

"Are you gonna tell her? I mean the legend of The Ghost is quite popular." Shining said, but in reality, he knew the reason. The reason was that Flurry Heart actually had never asked that question. She must have assumed that he was a hero a few hundred years ago, and that he had saved other nations and that it was why there were many similar statues.

"Well Shining, to be fair she has never specifically asked that. But yes, if he is coming tomorrow then it is vital that she knows of his tale." Cadance said, making Shining nod. Flurry Heart looked even more confused.

"Who are you talking about?" Flurry asked, making her parents look at her. They had oddly enough, forgotten for a second that she was in the room.

"We are talking about your uncle; Spike. You see, he is a living legend." Shining said, closing the door to Flurry's room, and sitting on the other side of Flurry Heart's bed.

"Let us tell you a story about; The Ghost Of Equestria." Cadance said, beginning the adventurous tale.
