Look Inside Your Heart Part One.

Chapter 6: New Moon Behind Old Stars.

"Skies is everypony safe?" I shouted running outside.

"Who the buck was that?" Skies flew over to me.

"The Mare In The Moon, It's not an old mare's tale."

"You've proven to me several times over that those legends can be true." He replied. "Where'd she go?"

"The Everfree." I shifted my gaze toward the forest. "I don't know how I know so much, but I'm glad I do."

"Look at that!" The mayor pointed to the east and the sun's light shone over the horizon."

"They did it." I was overcome with joy and began to cry. "I knew they could do it." I heard fanfare from the same direction and there they were Luna, Celestia, and my new friends. Then I heard the words from Pinkie's mouth .

"Party." She was somersaulting and cartwheeling all over town.

"Look's like Twilight made some new friends." My heart lifted watching the scene between them unfold. Celestia was as beautiful as ever. From then on I decided to stop worrying about how I knew, and focus on why. After the wild party I slowly aproached Luna and Celestia.

"Are you okay sugarcube?" Applejack asked me concerned.

"Want some cake, pie, cookies, candy, cupcakes?" Pinkie floated mysteriously beside me.

"I'm fine girls, great party Pinkie." I kneeled before the Princesses. "I wish to extend my apologies."

"It's quite all right Cressendo we extend ours as well." Celestia bowed to me.

"Why do you apologize Princess?" I was rightfully confused by her apology.

"We apologize for not calling upon you sooner."

"What are you talking about Princess?" Skies stepped forward.

"Show them your amulet, please." Luna asked in a demanding tone.

"What about it?" I reached into the pouch on my belt. "What happened to it?" The symbol had changed again, the symbol was surrounded by what I gathered were the cutie marks of the six ponies I befriended only hours ago.

"As I thought, your royal seal wasn't created by your family, Cressendo. It was made by my mentor Starswirl, long ago. Your seal was created to ensure that the one that holds it can help us keep the world safe." Celestia began to explain.

"So It's been infused with the Elements Of Harmony." I said without thinking.

"Correct." Celestia answered.

"What am I keeping the world safe from?"

"We do not know but whatever happens we shall stand by your side." Luna reached her arm around my shoulder. "Thank you." She whispered in my ear.

"Well I'm glad that I have friends, but I don't think it's wise to stay close to me," I lowered my head and my happy tears turned sad.

"Why is that, darling?" Rarity seemed worried.

"Twilight could we go to the library, I have a long story that needs to be told. You're welcome to join us Princesses I'm sure you'd want to hear it too." Twilight nodded and she led us back to the library. Over the next few hours I explained in great detail about my past and our ancient legends.

"That's dreadful." Rarity was shocked.

"That aint' natural." Applejack was in disbelief.

"Oh my." Fluttershy sat in a corner with Steele.

Rainbow hovered in silence slack jawed, Luna and Celestia had the same reaction. While Skies and Twilight stood nodding.

"If the truth is so hard to believe, why do we even try to comprehend it." I quoted Starswirl The Bearded. "What is happening to me?"

"Your amulet is infused with the Elements Of Harmony remember, that gives you the knowledge of all the past holders, including us." Celestia Interrupted. "I must say that the magic used to create that baffles even me."

"If my amulet was created by Starswirl, how did I get it, instead of this." I reach into my pocket and lay Father's seal on the table.

"Fascinating," Twilight reached for it. "Ow that hurts." She threw it down and blew on her hands.

"Yeah ya don't wanna do that," My voice gained Applejack's accent again. "Ya can't touch it unless I give it to ya, an'ya don't want to have my dad's amulet, he was a few straws short of a hay bale." After listening to what I just said, I cracked up laughing like Pinkie.

"You really are like us, but why?" Rarity walked over to get a closer look at my outfit. "Is your outfit so well made, machine stitching isn't this good,"

"I could show you, after I get back." I struggle to stand but I realized that my energy was fading fast. "Does anypony have any extra room for me to sleep, I am exhausted, and hungry."

"Haven't you eaten since yesterday morning?" Leone crawled out of my pocket.

"No,"

"We need to get you fed, wait right here." Fluttershy flew outside for a few minutes.

"So you're a dragon, huh?" My gaze shifted to the reptile that was half asleep.

"Yeah." He responded rubbing his eyes .

"I heard dragons eat gems, that true?"

"Yeah, it is."

"Ya got any sapphires?"

"Yeah want one?" He held out the beautiful blue gem.

"Sure I'll take one." I grabbed the jewel and took a bite. "Thanks, don't think I've had one this fresh. Crunchy yet chewy."

"Oh my stars, is he really eating a sapphire?" I heard Rarity whisper behind my back.

"It's not that bad but you gotta be really careful." My mouth closed around it sending shards down my throat. "Where'd Flutter go off to?"

"I'm back, here eat this." she handed me bread and nectar. "It's really good." I remembered the cinnamon roll and drizzled the nectar over the bread, the sweet nectar made the bread easier to chew. I quickly inhaled the rest. The sweet taste mixed with the earthy sapphire causing the most indescribable combination of flavors.

"You said when you get back, what did you mean?" Twilight picked up Leone and pet her.

"Well when Nightmare left me she left behind some Shadow Pegasi, and I realised that they were living creatures, Luna's loneliness caused her to create a new kingdom during her stay on the moon. How this kingdom was populated, I haven't the slightest notion. I knew that without her influence that soon the moon won't be able to let the Shadows live there long, speed is of the essence, we need to get them down here ASAP, before their whole world will end."

"I'll start research immediatly, you get some rest we'll start fresh in the morning." Twilight began to look for a book to help. "Go on leave I have alot of studying to do."

"You may stay at Carousel Boutique with me, Darling, I always have an extra bed for unexpected guests." Rarity grabbed my arm and helped me up. "You are so nice giving those Shadow ponies hope," She led me outside and toward the north.

"Well you're just as generous."

"Merci," She replied.

"De rien." I responded.

"You really do know french, color me impressed."

"If you don't mind me asking, you seem like a city filly what are you doing here in the boonies?"

"Well I've always wanted to live in the big city, I've always felt at home out here in small town Equestria." She pushed open a door and led me inside to a room filled with mannequins and fabrics. "This is where the magic happens, your room is up the stairs and to the left, make yourself at home dear, I have a few things to take care of down here."

"Merci beaucoup." I bowed to her and walked upstairs and found my room, the bed was elegant like one royalty would have. The sheets were made of the finest silk and the mattress was as soft as a cloud. I was out like a light the moment I shut my eyes.
