Dark Crystal

In a flash, Flurry Heart arrived at the storage. Many crates were there. She saw a few ponies moving them.

She dispelled her illusion, and hid behind the crates. She hoped nopony would see her. She had one chance.

Flurry looked at the labels on the crates, then at the document. The crates had numbers of the airship they went to written on them. She just needed to look for the correct one.

She noticed an unicorn walking between the crates. She hid in between them. Luckly, the unicorn didn’t see her.

Flurry left her hiding place and continued looking at the crates. After some time, she found the one she looked for.

Flurry used her magic to silently open it, and levitated herself inside. The crate was full of spare parts for some unknown mechanism. Flurry teleported some of them away, to make space, then she hid inside and closed it.

Few minutes later, Flurry felt the crate start moving. She also heard some ponies talking.

“Spare parts, in case the future ponies catch your airship.”

“It is a bit confusing that there are two Crystal Cities now, isn’t it?”

“Yes, but we should trust our princess. She was right about everything so far.”

Flurry Heart listened to the airship’s engines. She waited for a while. Eventually, she grew bored of waiting, and slowly opened the crate.

The storage area was empty, except for two other crates. Flurry was going to take a better look, but she heard some suspicious noise.

Suddenly, the crate of ventilation fell off, and a bat flew out of it.

“Bat? That’s weird,” she said aloud. Then, she heard hoofstepts. She closed the crate.

“Look, the crate fell out again. I’m going to fix it. Probably will fall off again.”

The pony started fixing it. Then, another entered the room.

“I’ve got information from Crystal City. Apparently, some dangerous criminal escaped prison and might have hid inside an airship. Everypony should check this.”

Flurry Heart knew that she was about to be discovered, so she casted a teleportation spell.

Getting teleported out of a moving airship was far more difficult than it looked like. Flurry was hit by rushing air and started falling down. Lucky for her, she managed to stabilize her flight.

She looked around. It seemed she was over Amore Fields, in central Crystal Empire, not far from Crystal City.

Flurry saw something behind her. The airship was escorted by two smaller ones. They were closing in at her.

Flurry dived down, the airships following her. They opened fire. Flurry casted a shield spell and tried to avoid getting hit.

She flew down, closer to the ground. The pursuing airships didn’t leave her.

She decided to take a risk, and dropped the shield spell. Then, she casted a teleportation spell, appearing behind them. She dived down and landed on the ground.

Flurry quickly checked if she wasn’t hit. Lucky, she wasn’t. The airships started circling above her. She casted another teleportation spell, attempting to escape them.

After flying over the Crystal Empire for some time, Flurry finally reached Crystal City. She once again checked her saddlebag. The documents and books were all there.

She hoped she wasn’t in big trouble. Seeing the documents she managed to steal, maybe mother won’t be so mad at her.
