Up in Flames
The Return of the Changelings
Previous ChapterNext ChapterGolden Flames POV
We finally got to Zecora’s hut in Everfree forest. Zecora is a zebra from beyond the Everfree Forest. Her hut is loaded with all sorts of ingredients for the many potions that she uses.
“Hello Twilight. Who is this that I spy?” Zecora asked Twilight in rhyme.
“This is my cousin Golden Flames. Her special talent is to use eight different flame-colours.”
“Now that does spark my interest, little miss Twilight.” She rhymed again.
“Why does she always rhyme?” I ask Twilight.
“It’s her thing.” I noticed that there’s another pony there. He looked like that grey-purple pony from Princess Celestia’s memory although he looked different. His chest is a bit expanded than normal. The weirdest thing about him though is his eyes, one was blue and the other’s red. ‘Weird’
“Who are you?” I ask him.
“G’Day mate. The names Jamie.” He said in a deep Australian accent.
“Oh. You’re an Aussie, are you?”
“That I am sheila.” I giggled at that. He looked at me funny.
“What did you want to know about Twilight, is it something about a blight?”
“Yeah. I actually wanted to see you because Golden Flames wanted to meet you and I have a problem.” Twilight then proceeded to tell Zecora about Lonely Shadow.
“So do you see what I mean?”
“No.”
“Fine, see you later Zecora.” We left Zecora’s hut but to my surprise Jamie was following us.
“Why are you following us?” I asked him.
“I’m following you because I wanted to meet all your friends. I also wanted to get to know you more.”
“Okay…” After that we arrived in Ponyville and everypony was in a panic, Twilight immediately teleported us with a flash of magic into her library.
“So this is the famous Ponyville library…” I just let Jamie get on with his ramblings. I noticed that Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were present in the library, with the exception of Fluttershy who was still down in the basement.
“Does anypony know what the cause of all this is?” Twilight asked.
“It’s those dern blasted Changelings!” Applejack said.
“Where did they all come from?” I asked.
“Ah don’t know but their Queen wants revenge on us.”
“Revenge for what?” I enquired.
“Revenge for what my brother and Cadence did to them. Shining Armor, that’s my brother, and his wife Princess Cadence did an extremely powerful love spell that expelled all the Changelings from Canterlot.” Twilight explained.
“So they want revenge because of what your brother did to them? Well, that makes a lot sense. How are we going to defeat them?”
“We’re going to need Shining Armor and Cadence for that. But they’re all the way in Yanhoover having their honeymoon.” Twilight said.
“What about the Princesses?” I asked
“Maybe.” After that my horn started glowing without me concentrating on it. In a flash of rainbow-coloured flames we all left the library on Ponyville and arrived in the magnificent Canterlot library instead.
“Ohhh. I feel woozy…” I blacked out yet again.
