The Twinkle Wish Journey
Introduction
Load Full StoryNext ChapterOff the coast of big continents lies the Ponyland Archipelago, and on said coast lies The Kingdom of Ponyland. This kingdom is where the ponies live and thrive, Earth Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns, Breezies alike and they live happily secluded from the rest of the world. But it didn't matter to them as they were shy of other species. No pony has ever dared to leave the island as it risks their life and it has been that way up until one day when it would be dishonored.
Now Ponies have their own way of celebrating holidays, and magic has always played a role. On Halloween for example, Earth Ponies use their plant magic on pumpkins they have grown over the summer to come to life and play with the fillies and colts. On Springmas, they all come together to attend the spring promenade and make the flowers and plants grow, Pegasi and Breezies spread magical dust that makes all the flowers pop up like jack in the boxes. This is Wysteria's favorite holiday since she loves flowers and planting them of course. Wishing power has a long history with Ponies. It goes back hundreds upon thousands of years ago in the faraway dimension known as the realm of wishes. Where a group of ancient wizards destined to spread happiness throughout earth creating creatures that harnessed wishing magic. One pegasus just so happens to be part of magical creatures and her name is Star Catcher. That's where she came from by the way! This is also where Twinkle Wish came from and could sort of be a sibling to Star Catcher, even though she's a star. Twinkle Wish would get the holiday in which she would shine, and that holiday was the day of the Christmas Wishes Festival, which landed the day before Christmas itself. On that day, all the ponies would create the best ornament for the ever-forever green tree and the one who's ornament is the most special is chosen to put her on top of the tree to which then she would grant every Pony in Ponyland a wish. That was the best part of it all!
Although Ponies like to believe that they are the only sentient ones on the island, they're not alone. Way before Ponyland was created and the Ponies first settled there, they were constantly attacked by severe weather patterns that randomly changed willy-nilly. That's because the island was really under the control of a terrible fearsome dragon named Iccus. Iccus could change the storms in any way she wants, if she wanted it to rain, it would rain, if she wanted it to snow, it would snow. No matter what, she had the power of the weather in her claws.
Now Iccus hated Ponies and how they were stealing her land for themselves, so she tried to drive them away by creating horrible storms that rocked the island non-stop. No-pony dared try to go to her hideout on Willy-Nilly Mountain until a group of unicorns led by the mighty, brave Gusty the Great! The soon to be first monarch of Ponyland!
Gusty led her team to Willy-Nilly Mountain to confront this terrible beast and stop the chaos being unleashed onto the innocent ponies. There inside the cave, she encountered Iccus.
"Iccus!" shouted Gusty. "Your terrible weather attacks against the ponies are over, I demand you to stop your tyrannical ways at once!"
"A tiny little pony like you does not intimidate me" Snarled Iccus and with that, She spewed fire towards Gusty and her crew. Luckily a unicorn behind her blocked the fire using her magic.
"That was your last warning, now you will pay for your crimes against ponykind." Said Gusty. The unicorns and her all combined their magic together and beamed it against Iccus. The beam struck at her with an bright flash.
"ARGHHH!" Yelped Iccus in pain. "I DEFY YOU, BUT YOU'VE PROVEN TO BE TOO POWERFUL! I SHALL RETURN ONE DAY!!!!!"
"And that day will be never" Gusty said.
Icccus' scream got quieter and quieter as the once powerful dragon was put to sleep, and when she was finally sleeping. Gusty ordered the cave to be sealed off so that no-pony will ever find the beast again, and from that day forward. No one will ever be afraid of Iccus ever again. Gusty became a hero of the ponies and was hailed Queen Gusty I of the Kingdom of Ponyland for her cunning bravery! She had liberated the ponies from Iccus' wrath and ended the destruction.
Many moons will go by since that great day, Queen by Queen would ascend the throne, and the thoughts and fears of the powerful Iccus faded away and were now nothing more the mere colt and filly imagination. But, through some kind of dark magic........Iccus would awaken again one day, and that day just so happens to be the week of the Christmas Wishes Festival.
So now we go to Ponyville, which is where the ponies live and acts like the capital of Ponyland. Celebration Castle stands in all it's glory, which was built shortly before the events unfolded on Willy-Nilly mountain. It was for the most part wonderful to live in. So many happy faces, beautiful homes, wonderful scenery, it's a dream come true! It has always been like that since it's founding more than 800 years ago and it still is to this very day!
The core seven live here, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Cheerilee, Starsong, Toola Roola and little Sweetie Belle. They are the bestest of friends and knew each other since they were foals. They would do everything together and help out with the whole town and themselves. Pinkie Pie is the leader of the core, she is brave, smart and oh so fun-loving. Whenever there is a party, she is the party-planner, she will make sure everything goes right for a party.
