Previous Chapter

Cozy Glow was sitting in the library when the door swung open and the Mark Finders - Apple Crumb, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle - entered the room. They were already familiar with Cozy and immediately surrounded her with joyful greetings.

"Hello, Cozy!" - Apple Pie exclaimed. "We were just going to the Mark Finder Club. Would you like to come with us?"

Cozy Glow thought for a moment, her eyes sparkling with interest. “Of course, I would love to come with you,” she replied, getting up from her seat.

Twilight Sparkle, noticing their animated faces, supported the idea: “This is a great opportunity to spend time together. Good luck, Cozy!”

On the way to the club, the Cutie Finders shared their latest ideas and plans with Cozy, talking about their attempts to acquire cutie marks.

“We tried so many things,” Scootaloo said. “But it’s always fun to come up with something new.”

When they got to the club, Cozy Glow was glad to be back in this cozy place. Time seemed to stand still as they discussed their plans and shared ideas. cozy learned about how each of them strives to find their calling and find their cutie mark.

Sweetie Belle suggested, "How about we try something new today? Like an art project or a musical performance."

cozy Glow, inspired by their energy, suggested: "How about trying to do something that combines all your talents? For example, create a small play with music and decorations."

The idea was exciting, and they began discussing possible plots and roles. cozy, feeling like part of the team, offered her ideas for the script.

After several hours of dedicated work, Cozy Glow realized that she not only helped the Mark Finders, but also made new friends. This time at the club became an important moment for her, helping her to better understand those around her and feel like she was part of something bigger.

When they returned to the library, Cozy looked at Twilight with gratitude. their day had been busy and full of discovery, and Cozy was ready to continue her journey in Ponyville with renewed enthusiasm.

After a busy day at the Mark Finders Club, Cozy Glow and her new friends settled down on the floor of a cozy house, discussing their achievements and ideas. Apple Crumb, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, full of energy and curiosity, turned their attention to Cozy's mark and began asking questions.

“You know, Cozy,” Apple Pie began, looking at her mark with interest. "We talk about our future cutie marks all the time, but we've never asked you about yours."

Scootaloo nodded, adding, "Yes, your chess rook mark looks very unusual. Does it have something to do with your talents?"

Cozy Glow smiled softly, pleasantly surprised by their interest. "Yes, my mark is related to chess. The rook symbolizes strategic thinking and the ability to find solutions to difficult situations."

Sweetie Belle tilted her head slightly and asked, "Does that mean you're good at planning and thinking several steps ahead?"

cozy Glow nodded, feeling proud of her mark, "Exactly. I've always enjoyed strategizing and finding solutions, whether in a game or in life."

Apple Baby, with admiration in her voice, remarked: “This is really great, Cozy. You can probably help us with our projects by figuring out how best to implement them."

"Yeah, and if we need help planning our next adventure, we know who to turn to," Scootaloo winked, laughing.

cozy Glow felt part of their team, enjoying the fact that her talents were recognized and valued. "I'm always happy to help. Together we can come up with something really great."

time flew by, and the Markseekers continued to discuss their plans, inspired by new ideas and the support of Cozy. Her mark seemed to take on new meaning, connecting her to those who shared her passion for discovery and adventure.

After the Mark Seekers discussed the meaning of Cozy Glow's mark, they decided to try something new to involve her even more in their adventures.

"Hey, Cozy," Scootaloo offered, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "How about we try something really different todayMaybe we can organize a chess tournament?"

Cozy Glow, surprised but pleasantly impressed by the idea, replied: "A chess tournament? That sounds interesting! I'd love to participate and even help you learn the basics of the game."

Sweetie Belle, jumping up and down with joy, added, "This is going to be funwe can invite other ponies to participate too. It's a great way to spend time and learn something new."

Apple Tiny agreed, "Yes, and this will be a great opportunity for all of us to show off our strategic skills."

cozy Glow enthusiastically began explaining the rules of the game and showing different strategies that can be used to win. She enjoyed teaching her new friends, sharing knowledge and helping them develop their own skills.

While they were practicing, other ponies in Ponyville began to notice their activity and became interested in what was happening. Soon a small group of spectators gathered around the club, ready to take part in the tournament.

The tournament began and the atmosphere was filled with fun and friendly competition. cozy Glow, watching the games, felt proud that she was able to bring something new into the lives of her friends and those around her.

When the tournament came to an end, all participants, regardless of the result, felt like winners. The spotters, full of impressions, thanked Cozy for helping them organize such a wonderful day.

“Thank you, Cozy,” Apple Crumb said, smiling sincerely. "It was one of the best days we spent together."

Scootaloo added, "Yes, and we learned a lot.I hope we can do this again."

Cozy Glow, feeling warm in her heart, replied: "I had a great time too. Always happy to help and share my knowledge with you."

Sweetie Belle concluded, "Now we know we can do whatever we want if we work together."

evening gradually came, and the ponies began to go home, taking with them memories of a wonderful day spent together. Cozy Glow realized that her stay in Ponyville was not only an adventure, but also an opportunity to make real friends.

Sorry for the omission. let's add more details about what Cozy Glow found in its stash.


When the evening sun was just beginning to disappear behind the horizon, Cozy Glow and Apple Bloom headed towards the farm. On the way, Cozy suddenly remembered her things, which she hid near the farm on her first day in Ponyville.

"Apple Bloom," Cozy said, trying to sound as casual as possible, "I need to go away for a while. I forgot something and need to pick it up."

Apple Bloom, slightly surprised, but still nodded in understanding: "Okay, Cozy. I'll wait for you here."

Cozy Glow turned off the path and headed towards the wooded area where she hid her cache. When she got there, she was surrounded only by the whisper of leaves and the quiet rustle of the wind. trying not to make a sound, she began to look for a familiar stone, under which her hiding place was hidden.

Finally Cozy found her hiding place. Under the stone lay her saddle bag. She carefully opened it, checking the contents. Inside were:

Cozy was relieved to see that everything was in place. She carefully packed her things back into her bag, trying not to forget a single detail. Taking the bag by the shoulder, she left the secluded place, pleased that she had regained her treasures.

Returning to the path, Cozy saw Apple Bloom patiently waiting for her. "I'm back!" - she said, trying to appear calm.

“I already thought you were lost,” Apple Bloom teased her with a smile, and together they continued on their way to the farm.

When Cozy Glow and Apple Bloom finally returned to the farm, evening had already completely enveloped the earth in its soft blanket. The aroma of freshly cut hay and apples hung in the air. the farmhouse radiated a warm glow, inviting them inside.

“Well, here we are,” Apple Bloom said, opening the door and letting Cozy in first. "Today has been a long and interesting day."

Cozy nodded, feeling slightly tired, but also satisfied with the day. "Yes, that's exactly it. Thank you for showing me so many new things."

Apple Bloom smiled, her eyes shining with friendliness. "You're welcome, Cozy. I'm glad you're with us. Well, good night!"

"Good night, Apple Bloom," Cozy replied as she watched her new friend walk up the stairs to her room.

As the silence of the night enveloped the house, Cozy Glow sat down on the bed in her room, holding her saddle bag nearby. She thought, looking out the window at the starry sky. Thoughts about the events of the past day swarmed in her head.

“These ponies are not at all as terrible as Master Bray described them,” she thought to herself. "They are kind, sincere and willing to help. How could I be so wrong?"

cozy remembered her lessons with Master Bray in Tambelon, how he instructed her and told her about the world. "I wonder how things are going with Master Bray and the others in Tambelon?" - she thought, frowning slightly.

she remembered her friends and mentors who remained there, and her heart was filled with a slight homesickness. “I hope they’re doing well,” Cozy thought, feeling her eyes begin to close with fatigue.

With these thoughts, she went to bed, covering herself with a blanket. the sound of the soft breeze outside the window lulled her, and soon Cozy fell into a sleep full of dreams of new friends, adventures and distant Tambelon.

Cozy Glow's dreams brought back memories of her life in Tambelon. She sat in her room, lit by soft torchlight, playing chess with Master Bray. outside the window there was eternal twilight, characteristic of the Dark Dimension, but inside the room it was warm and cozy.

Master Bray, thoughtfully watching the board, quietly began to tell a story that Cozy had heard many times before, but each time it sounded different. "You know, Cozy, once upon a time, ponies were not like they are now. They were selfish, greedy and did not want to live with other creatures."

cozy, making a move with her rook, listened carefully as Master Bray continued: “Emperor Grogar tried to create an empire where all creatures could coexist, but the ponies did not want this. They rebelled, using treachery and meanness. They defeated Grogar not by a fair fight, but by betrayal."

Cozy, deep in the game but not missing a word, asked, "But why couldn't they just agree? Wouldn't it be better to live in peace?"

Master Bray, leaning back in his chair, sighed: “Alas, not all creatures see the world the way we do. The ponies preferred to expel Tambelon and its inhabitants into the Dark Dimension rather than try to find a common language. They did not understand that Grogar wanted the best for everyone."
