My little pony:Adventure of Seresia

“Ladies and gentlecolt!! Welcome to the first Exorcism and Frost-Welcoming Festival ! ! The long night is approaching, so don't forget to stay warm and enjoy everything now!!” The host pony stood on the podium, using the most enthusiastic words to motivate the audience below. This was Imperial Square, with the widest area available for activities. Besides the constructed stage, there were many amusement rides and food stalls where ponies were already gathering.

“All the stalls will be open to residents for free. In addition to enjoying the food, if you can break Prince Shining Armor's high score at the game booths, you'll be invited to take a photo with a royal member!!” As the host was introducing, Shining Armor appeared on the stage and stood beside him. After the host finished speaking, he cleared his throat and signaled everypony to quiet down for a moment:

“Show your potential!! My dear citizens!! I believe you can definitely break my record!! Of course, it will just take a little time~”

“Hooray!!!” The ponies below cheered, and while their enthusiasm was high, Shining Armor called Spike and Twilight up to the stage, continuing in front of everypony: “I' ve also invited the Crystal Heart's savior, Spike, and my own sister,the new ruler of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle, to be here. From now until the evening show begins, they will be staying here and interacting with you all. Don't forget to ask your idols for an autograph~”

Though the atmosphere on stage was lively and cheerful, Twilight wasn't affected at all. She looked at everything before her but couldn't muster any interest. Twilight had only one thing on her mind—to deal with Chrysalis as soon as possible… and to explain everything to the ambassador… Well, maybe two things, but it was driving her crazy. Spike continuously gave her subtle hints from the side until she finally got it and managed to flash a smile.

“Twilight, if you keep this up, you'll really wear yourself out.” After leaving the stage, Shining Armor and Spike brought Twilight to a relatively quiet corner. They knew Twilight just needed some comforting; they were used to this.

“I know!! But…” Twilight sighed again, trying to force herself to engage with the current situation. “I just can't stop thinking about Chrysalis and the ambassador. I'm really scared something terrible will happen!!”

“You mean like Chrysalis stealing the Alicorn Amulet, impersonating you to strain relations between the two nations, and eventually starting a war?” Spike crossed his claws, his humorous tone and vivid description making it seem like it had all happened before.

“Yes, Spike!! That's exactly what I'm worried about!!” Twilight was very anxious, as if it had already happened.

“Twilight, promise me you'll be honest with the ambassador about everything, okay? Keeping this from her won't do anypony any good.”Shining Armor's straightforward words made Twilight's ears perk up, but they soon drooped again. She knew all too well the consequences of deliberate deception if discovered.

“I… I'll come clean with the ambassador tonight, and hopefully, she'll help me capture Chrysalis.”After much hesitation and taking a deep breath, Twilight finally mustered the courage to decide, her expression seemingly more relieved, and both the pony and dragon were pleased with her decision.

“I'm glad to hear that, Twilight!! You know, I have a feeling the ambassador isn't the type of pony to get angry easily. Look how much Flurry Heart likes her~ It's rare to see a child so close to a stranger they've just met.”

“I hope so…”

“Don't keep that sour face on such a joyful day, okay? My dear little sister, you still have to go out later and sign autographs for your fans.” Shining Armor nudged Twilight with his shoulder to remind her, while Spike had already prepared pen and paper: “If you don't want to go out, that's okay too. I'll just enjoy all the fans by myself~ I have plenty of things I want to do with my little fans.”

“It's okay, Spike. We'll just say Princess Twilight suddenly felt unwell. If everypony is disappointed, we can think of another way to make it up to them.”

The two seemed to have reached some agreement, exchanging a glance before both turned to leave. Just as they took a step, they heard Twilight's voice: “Wait!! I'll go with you.”

After a day of touring the Crystal Empire, Meng Yu settled into a luxurious crystal guest room, with a balcony that provided a direct view of the entire Crystal Empire. She watched the raging icy storm outside the shield for a while, then closed the door and sat down at the desk.

“chancellor, your medicine is ready. Please drink it while it's hot.”Just as she was about to pick up her pen again, a clear knocking sound interrupted her, and Jin Yang entered the room, levitating a steaming bowl with magic, and respectfully placed it in front of Meng Yu.

“Leave it there.”Meng Yu rubbed her temples with her hoof, glanced at the potion Jin Yang placed beside her, then picked up the brush in a special cup and returned to her battle with the text. But it wasn't long before her expression became increasingly pained, her brows furrowing as if enduring some kind of torment. Finally, Meng Yu had to stop writing, pick up the steaming potion with her hooves, and down it in one gulp, then closed her eyes to rest, hoping the pain would soon subside.

“chancellor, please rest for a while. Let me help you with these tasks.”Jin Yang looked at the State Master with concern. “I'm fine. You should rest early as well; you have many things to do tomorrow.” Jin Yang clearly wanted to say more, but Meng Yu waved her hoof, dismissing whatever he was about to say. He could only comply, bowing before leaving the room.

Meng Yu sighed softly, rested briefly, and was about to return to her writing when the sound of boiling water caught her attention. She quickly straightened her attire and sat down at another table, where a simple but intricately carved cauldron was placed. The water occasionally splashing out of the cauldron indicated where the sound came from. Meng Yu hurriedly took a small cloth bag from her sleeve, took out a pinch of powder, and held it in her hoof. She waved her hoof over the cauldron's mouth and began to chant. As a few sizzling sounds like drops of water on hot metal rang out, the water in the cauldron began to converge in the center, eventually forming a floating water sphere, swirling from inside out.

“How is the progress?” A cold voice came from within the water sphere, and with each word, the surface, glowing faintly blue, rippled, causing the liquid to fall back into the cauldron faster.

“I have been in Equestria for half a month, as per your instructions, and have discussed re-establishing relations and the return of the treasures with the princess. But… they don't seem to intend to hand over the items.” Meng Yu first bowed her head slightly before slowly speaking.

“Continue to apply pressure. If necessary, take extraordinary measures.”

“As you command.”
