Past the everfree forest

After a while of walking Glass started to remember more and more of where they were. She had to use the rest of her dust so she could fly more. She looked at the six ponies that wanted to help. She smiled, Glass never thought she would find ponies or any being that would help her and her village. She wondered how her sister was doing, since she was in charge of making the star glow so that there could be light for the village. She wondered about the elders who protected everyone.  She turned to Twilight who was making a map still. "I..Just want to say thank you all...I never thought any would help me." Twilight nods. "Your welcome. Its what we do, we help everypony." Fluttershy flew close by her. "So Glass can you tell us a story about your village.." Rainbow dash nodded. "Yeah didn't you mention something about a star or something like that." Glass nods. "I did. I guess I will tell you a story."  Glass sat on Fluttershy's head. Pinkie Pie smiled waiting for the story. Glass takes a deep breath. "A long time ago when the Everfree forest was just forming, us fairies hid from the darkness that surround the forest. We hid from the animals most of the time and took turns keeping watch for any of them while we mined for the dust that makes us fly. Then one night a glowing rock fell to the ground.  Us fairies flew to the rock and saw that it was a star. The light that it gave off at first allowed us to see and the animals ran away from it. It became known as the forest star. Things were nice for a while till the star's glow started to dim. We fairies knew that with out the star's light we would have to go back to the darkness. The elders at the time decided that there had to be a fairy that could make it shine since fairies all had a unique job that made the world we live in work. So then every fairy went and tried to make the star glow brighter. Most failed till one of the youngest was able to make it glow. So every day since the fairy who can make the star glow goes over to where it is kept and powers it, making our part of the forest shine bright and we are able to live the end." Glass finished her story and looked at the group.

Rarity flips her mane. "Didn't you tell us earlier that your sister powers the forest star now." Glass nods. "Yes she does her name is Shard and every fairy loves her." She sighs. She was always jealous of her sister and how she got the most important job while she got the worst. Twilight was writing some stuff down taking notes. "So why does your sister do that and not work in the mines like you do." Glass looked at the ground. "Our jobs were given to us when we get to a certain age. The elders assign jobs by seeing what you can do. Me being the smallest in the village they all just figured it would be best to give me an easy job so I tried a few things like farming, building then mining and I got the job as a duct collector."  Fluttershy looks at her with a small smile. "Every thing you can do just makes your village run well."   Glass nods. "I know. My sister got her job because she was one of the strongest. Her magic was unlike any other in the village because of that  she is a student to the village head elder."  Rainbow dash chuckles. "Guess that means shes an egg head like our buddy Twilight here." Twilight glares at her. "How many times do I have to tell you Rainbow its okay to be a egg head." Rainbow dash shrugs and continues to fly while the others were walking and Glass continued to sit on Fluttershy.  Glass thought to herself. I wonder how my sister is doing.....
