Rainbow Dash ''Only because you, SHOT IT AT ME!'' she shouted trying her best to keep herself from laughing. hmm the ponies over there are always having some sort of fun Snow shard thought to himself peering out at pinkie and dash from a tree top. Hi i'm Snow shard the frozen phoenix pony, i have lived out of sight and away from other ponies ever since i can remember. i came from the phoenix pony kingdom we were not really against being with the other ponies, but the phoenix ponies have never shown the fact we even exist to outside ponies so nopony knows we do or should i say did. I am the last phoenix pony i know of so far, i remember were i came from just not much about it. I'm not all that good at meeting other ponies and have this fear that they will not like me much for me and maybe just a little the fact i can make a strange fire--as my name would hint--it freezes things, strange huh? Only maybe last week did i see the ponies down there having fun and good times after i thought about it i decided i would watch them when i am bored. That brings us here, i don't even know their names but they are fun to watch. Rainbow Dash: ''Yeah well if your done shooting bananas at me i should get going, there's a storm tomorrow and the weather team is gonna put it together early because tomorrow is my, and some others day off. See ya pinkie'' She said before flying off. pinkie waived Pinkie Pie: ''bye dash'' she then turned around to trot off. Snow Shard jumped up doing a mid air back flip then spread his wings flying off back to Everfree. He then landed on a cliff his claws making a light scrapping sound as they hit the rock, standing on the rock the sun beamed down on him giving a full look at his phoenix pony form Snow Shard was a phoenix pony his wings were bigger then the wings of any normal pegasus also more birdlike green and blue feathers blue at the backs of his wings green up front. his green mane with a shade of blue that was hanging in his face covering one side of it most of time. Despite being a stallion Snow shard had a thin streamline form with his blue coat sure his slender lack-muscle body was strange for a stallion and from time to time back in the Phoenix Pony Kingdom he may have been mistaken for a mare but the wind resistance was decreased and he liked to go fast his green and blue eyes gleamed in the light of the sun on his fore-hooves he had ice like claws four per hove, he had made use of this many times as it was a useful tool for climbing and fighting on his flank rested the image of a green Phoenix feather with a blue shine at the center symbolizing his speed and pride a pair of blue goggles lay around his neck with green lenses he did not know were he got them just they were important. [if this was not a good enough description of Snow shard his picture is the art for this.] Looking out he saw it would be sunset in just a few hours. What now he thought. nothing else to do guess i will practice, what today? Hmm ah! the stall drop. Opening his wings Snow shard took flight going straight up until he thought he was high enough then closed his wings and crossed his hooves over his chest falling straight down he waited until the count of five then reopened his wings and spread his hooves like a second pair of wings doing three spins to the right he then looped once recovering in a few seconds now flying straight he began his practice run, dodging oncoming trees and rocks then flying at a large bolder and just before making contact changed direction upwards evading the rock then at the top doing three more spins continuing his training until nightfall. At the end of of training for the day snow sat on to forest floor when suddenly his stomach growled Snow Shard:"time for dinner i guess." he said as he walked off. After 30 minuets or so he came to a stop he knew this place, when he was hungry he would often come here to get an apple or two this place was called Sweet Apple Acres. Grabbing an apple he walked off thinking to himself need to get some food tomorrow. The next day Snow woke up nothing seemed out of order. Being that Everfree was such a dangerous place he would not normally sleep in the same place more then twice. Today he found himself in a dark and rather large cave he knew it was dangerous to sleep in a cave such as this one for fear a dragon may inhabit the cave however the echo of places like this one would put him right to sleep at night with no problem the caves dripping water mixed with the echo was just perfect for him. Standing up he took a quick look around the cave to be sure nothing had come in while he was asleep after finding nothing out of place he shook his head in order to clear his mind and ready himself for whatever today could throw at him his green and blue mane swung back and forth as he shook his head. As he was finishing a thought came to him Snow Shard"i should go down to the stream." he had been using a nearby stream to bathe for the last 3 weeks or so, plus the water would help him fully wake. He was making his way out of the cave when he heard the sound of a growl he knew this sound and with the help of his wings he jumped from the mouth of the cave to a nearby tree top looking down at the place he was once standing he saw just what he was expecting a timber-wolf. Soon after two more timber-wolfs were at first ones side after looking around the three wolfs entered the cave. Done with that cave. Snow thought to himself. After making sure the wolfs would not see him Snow Shard made his way to the stream and now stood by it Snow Shard: ''add find new house to the list.'' Well i will work on that later bath now. Jumping in to the air Snow aimed right at the stream and dived in. It was not that deep but just deep enough to swim. Coming up his wet mane flopped back his coat now wet shined in the morning sun looking at himself Snow said with a smile Snow Shard: ''Damn i'm hot ha ha.'' then spreading his wings he carefully stroked them in order to clean them. He did the best he could, Snow loved his wings being able to fly or fly fast was something he loved more then life it's self. The stream was in the middle of two forest sections perhaps the only place in Everfree that the sun would shine. Making the stream glisten in it's light also making it a warm and nice place for Snow to go from time to time. After finishing and shaking himself almost dry Snow sat down next to the stream in the sun to dry further. He thought he would take this time to think about what to do next. Hmm need to get some food and find a house that house thing will be the problem won't it? Snow knew how to get food after living here for a bit he knew what was bad and good to eat in Everfree as far as plants go but in here finding a house was, difficult no telling what may lay in caves. Sometimes he used old timber-wolf dens in the past but one time he had found out the one he had been using was not so abandon that little encounter left him reluctant to do that unless needed REALLY BAD if need be he could also use a cloud. He was not able to do anything about the weather like a pegasus but he could walk on clouds like one, but that was a problem as well somepony might see him if he was drifting in the sky. Oh well food first then he set off in search of food. After finding what he was looking for in the way of food he came across a large bolder with a hole in it. Wonder how big that hole is. He thought flying up to it Snow Shard: ''big enough'' he said climbing in. He then placed the food he collected in a second hole inside the bolder it was now mid day. He made up his mind he would go spy [I MEAN] watch the ponies he would go see when he was bored. Then he remembered the rainbow maned one saying something about a storm today. He decided to stay near his new house and soon it was poring outside Snow Shard:''thank the moon a made that call.'' he said. Don't look like it will clear up anytime soon guess i will just sit in here. (after 5 minutes.) Snow Shard: "this is Boring!" Author's Note Sorry this took so long if anyone was waiting. As if ha ha anyway it took sometime to sort things out this is my first fic on here. I made a death note fic once and it was loved i thought i would try this too if you have something to say about this story it is welcome but i pay no mind to dudes who are trying to pick a fight. hope you like it if not that's cool maybe it's not your thing maybe you did not like how i made it or wrote it that's cool too at least it killed some time right?.....yeah time lets go with that. Well i fixed the story a bit i think it is good but i'm trying so hard i fear i missed something so please keep telling me if you see something wrong thanks i plan to explain more on phoenix ponies later in. Frost and flame (Chapter two) the Feather [Fixed a bit]Snow Shard: "Ugh sleeping in this rock feels...like sleeping, in a rock"...*face hove* Snow realized how stupid what he just said sounded. Whatever well it's morning now, guess i should go to the stream. And off he went. After a relaxing bath in the stream he began to walk back to his rock\house. When he heard something, he crouched down and moved in on it. It was a bunny? What is a bunny doing in Everfree? this makes no sense Snow thought. The bunny hoped around as if looking for something. The bunny was small and white with a black nose and long white ears it looked vary soft and well fed. That told Snow this bunny was probably not wild and had been someponies pet or something. Snow looked around the place to be sure nopony nor dangerous animal was around,then taking a step out of the bushes he moved behind the bunny without it seeing him. Also not a vary watchful bunny Snow laughed in his head. Reaching out a talon he taped the bunny's shoulder twice to get it's attention. The bunny spun around in a panic eyes meeting Snow's, at first the bunny was happy to see something that did not want to eat him, then he saw Snow's talons and his eyes were as big as Snow's hooves in a second the bunny turned to run like Pinkie to a party when Snow grabbed him by the ears holding him up face to face. He panicked and attempted to escape but Snow's grip was tight Snow Shard: "Hey cool it bunny i'm not going to eat you stop kicking." the bunny didn't stop in fact that made the bunny kick harder. Snow Shard: "Some angel you are." Snow said sarcastically after he said that the bunny stopped, instead it looked at Snow in surprise. Snow Shard: "Huh? what" Then the bunny smiled at Snow. Snow Shard: "What is that your name?" He asked the bunny it shook it's head up and down. Snow Shard "Irony. So your done kicking and all right?" The bunny once again shook it's head up and down. Snow Shard:"Cool." Snow said as he put the bunny down. Snow Shard: " What is a bunny doing in this ugly place?" The bunny made some movements and sighs to tell him that he was with his friend a pony that he has been with for a long time and maybe his best friend, going back from moving some frogs when they were attacked by timber wolfs and got separated as they made their escape and he was looking for her. Snow Shard: "Ah got ya well i got nothing better to do i can help you out a bit." Snow said as angel smiled, Snow Shard: "You know where you two were last?" Angel motioned for Snow to fallow him and he did. After a bit of walking angel stopped. Snow Shard: "here?" Snow asked. Angel shook his head yes. Snow looked around the area slowly. Snow Shard: "Hey angel were do you think your friend would go?" Angel put a paw to his chin thinking he then began to move around to tell Snow about Ponyville and that she would try to go there if she was in trouble. Snow Shard: "Oh that place i know it, lets go" Snow said as him and angel started off, after walking for fifteen minutes or so they stopped. Looking out on Ponyville Snow saw the pink mare he had seen from time to time. Snow Shard: "Hey angel go try asking that pink mare i will wait here". Angel gave a salute and hoped off hoping over to the pink mare he began to make motions again then the pink mare spoke. Pinkie Pie:"Nope i haven't seen Fluttershy come back i thought she was with you. One sec" In a flash of pink she went all though the town Snow's jaw dropped as she ran through town. Snow Shard: "She's fast!" She returned to angel. Pinkie Pie: "Nope, no Fluttershy is she ok?" Angel began to sweat and nodded yes. Hopping back to Snow he started to bite a nearby stick in fear. Snow Shard: "It's ok we will find her." Angel looked up at him and smiled worriedly. Gazing down at angel Snow said. Snow Shard: "Ugh whatever lets do this." Angel looked at him in confusion before Snow grabbed him and put him on his back. Snow Shard: "Hold on." Snow had not wanted to search for the pony angel was looking for from the air, for fear of being seen but this was impotent. After running deeper in to the forest to decrease the chance of being seen by the ponies in Ponyville Snow took off flying around the forest and it was not long until angel saw his friend looking for him. Snow landed nearby and let angel off, angel smiled at him before hopping over to his friend Snow watched for second then he turned to walk off Snow Shard: "Ow!" Snow's wing hit a low branch. Meh, nothing. Snow thought as he walked away before vanishing in to the forest Fluttershy: "Oh angel where were you? I was looking everywhere i'm so glad your safe. Huh?" Fluttershy looked down to find a Feather. Fluttershy: "Oh my, i don't think i have seen a feather like this before...i will ask Twilight to look at it later come on angel lets go back home." Angel had been eyeing a tree. He turned to her and they started back. Snow Shard: "Well that's over." Snow said happily. It's mid day now got some time to kill, guess i will just practice. And he set off for his normal practice area. ------O---O------ Fluttershy: "Um excuse me Twilight but i um, i found this out in Everfree and I'm not sure what it is so, i thought maybe you would know something, you have all those books on animal species." Twilight: "Sure Fluttershy let me have a look hmm...uh actually i'm not sure what it is myself, I've never seen this kind of ice blue." Just then Rarity and Applejack walked in with looks of concern that faded as they entered. Twilight: "Oh hi Applejack hi Rarity why are you here?" Rarity: "Well pinkie told me and Applejack Fluttershy was missing so we came to see if you had seen her and seeing as she is here it seems all is well." Rarity said smiling. Fulttershy: "oh yes i'm fine". Applejack: "well that's good ta hear." Applejack said smiling. Twilight: "but she did bring back this strange feather and i'm not sure what it's from, actually i think i have seen something like this before on Philomena the Princesses pet Phoenix but I've never heard of a blue Phoenix before. Do you know what this means!?" Spike taking note of Twilight's expression knew it was one of those times. Spike: "Oh boy." Spike said under his breath while the others looked at Twilight. Twilight: "This may be a new kind of Phoenix just think if we discovered a new species we would be able to write our own book!" Spike shook in thought of how long a book by Twilight would be. Spike: "Oh no" the dragon said." Rarity: "And think! when it shed it's feathers i could make the most amazing head peace from them." Rarity chimed in Applejack: "Aw what the hey could be fun."Applejack agreed Applejack: "Fluttershy how long ago you say you found that there feather?" Fluttershy: "Oh only 15 minutes or so why?" Applejack: "Well if we give that feather to Winona i bet ya she'd find that critter." Twilight: "Good idea Applejack Fluttershy could you go get Rainbow dash an eye in the sky could make things easier" Fluttershy: "Sure" Twilight: "Good i will get some equipment and meet you girls at Fluttershy's house" Applejack:"I'm gonna get Winona" Applejack joined in Rarity: "And i shall fetch a hat" Rarity said as they all split off. sometime later they all met at Fluttershy's Twilight: "Ok everypony ready?" Twilight asked. "All set" said Applejack Rarity: "Let us begin" said Rarity Rainbow dash: "Oh yeah lets go!" a pumped Rainbow dash joined Fluttershy: "yay~" said Fluttershy Twilight: "ok lets go" Twilight smiled. -----O---O---- Snow sat on a cliff. Practice had gone well he had perfected on two of his tricks and now was relaxing in the sun. This had been a good day so far it was strange to see angel before, but all and all he seemed cool. He then closed his eyes to think on the day and to calm the odd feeling something was about to happen. ----O---O---- Applejack: "Got it Winona? good girl, go find it." Applejack and the others fallowed behind winona until they came across a large bolder with a hole in it Applejack: "The trail leads here that hole's bit high up Rainbow see if ya can get in there." Rainbow dash: "Will do." Rainbow flew up and in to the hole after a minute dash came out. Rainbow dash: "Yeah something was living here." Applejack: "Winona can ya find the critter that lives here?" Winona: "Arf." With that winona started off. walking this deep in the Everfree forest was getting dangerous luckily they had Rarity's comments on the heat and humidity of the forest to keep them going, away from her. Winona stopped. Looking around she barked, that let Applejack know that what they were tracking was near. ----O---O---- Applejack: "Over here winona?" Winona: "Arf." Snow could hear, voices? Have i finally gone crazy? \ Applejack: "Alright ya'll it's somewhere around here keep your guard up." No they are real. Snow backed up slowly until he vanished in the forest he then silently moved around to the source of the voices. Looking out at them he was confused. Snow Shard: "Why are they here?" He whispered, he then saw the pegasus he saw before with angel. That made more questions rise in his mind but all of them faded when he saw the cowpony give her dog one of his feathers. he slipped back in to the forest undetected. Snow Shard: "They're here for me why?" Damn knew i should have looked more when i hit that branch. When he saw them Snow had taken a good look at them all: The lavender unicorn may be a small problem, The cowmare has a strong kick don't want to fight if i can avoid it, The other unicorn is watchful she may be the one with the highest chance to see me besides that dog, and the rainbow mane one is fast in the air and smart thank the moon they don't have the pink one. Should be easy to get away as long as i avoid them. He started making his way around them when he overheard the unicorn say Twilight: "So it's somewhere around here like, this area?" Applejack: "Yeah why ya ask twi?" Twilight: "I may be able to find it if i use a locating spell i couldn't before because it was to far away but i may be able to find it if it's in this area." Applejack: "Well be my gust." the cowmare gave her the feather. This made Snow's hart race as he realized he had seconds to get clear of an unknown radius. Snow Shard: "I knew that unicorn was a problem." He whisperer angrily. Suddenly everything around him flashed a lavender color and she said Twilight: "over there" pointing right at Snow Shard's location. Snow Shard: "Oh boy." Snow said sarcastically Twilight: "Ok girls quietly we need to surround it." They began quietly making their way over moving in around the bush. No choice Snow thought. Then the bush began to glow in a blue light blinding the ponies. With one eye open twilight saw the bush begin to freeze. In a second Snow shot out of the bushes covering his body in blue flame so they could not see him. He took to the air at full speed. Once the stunned ponies could see again Applejack was first to speak Applejack: "Rainbow get after it it's flying away" Rainbow dash: "Not as fast as me!" Rainbow dash yelled as she flew after it. Snow looked back and he knew they would send her, the Rainbow one. Still cloaked in his flame Snow was like a comet flying though the sky Rainbow dash: "Hey get back here!" He heard the pegasus yell at him. She's catching up but not fast enough. Going faster he grinned, but she quickly caught up both going full speed now Snow was to focused on the pegasus next to him causing his flame cloak to fade. Rainbow looked at him and gasped, his wings were different then her own of any pegasus to be exact and he had claws but most of all she thought. I'm not chasing some bird? Rainbow dash: "Hey who are you!" She yelled at him as he made a flip going down she changed direction to fallow him but then he flew forward spinning. his blue flame firing from his wingtips making a spiral. She slowed to avoid the fire, there was his chance he flew forward with all he had speeding past Rainbow she chased him but an explosion of blue fire shot forth. After re-gaining her eyesight she shot forward looking for him Snow looked up as the rainbow maned mare flew off. He had dropped to the ground using the explosion as a decoy. He turned around and walked away. She almost had me good thing i have been working on that one. He thought proudly. Flutershy: "Squeak." Snow Shard: "Huh?" Snow looked down to see the cream colored pegasus from before Snow Shard: "But..but..we..were..how did, you catch up?!" Flutershy: "What? OH my, i'm sorry i didn't mean to bump in to you like that. Oh, are you that pony that Rainbow dash was chasing?" Snow Shard: "Yes i am who are you. And Rainbow dash is her name huh?" Flutershy: "Oh um i'm sorry my n..name is Fluttershy, and that was my friend Rainbow dash." Snow Shard: "Fluttershy huh? Well you live up to it." Flutershy: "Huh?" Snow Shard: "Nothing, so why are you here? Fluttershy." Flutershy: "Oh um my friends were chasing you but i, got lost." Snow Shard: "Oh." So it was pure luck? you are like super lucky. Snow Shard: "Well i guess i will be going i need a new house now, again." Flutershy: "Oh wait please." Snow Shard: "What?" Flutershy: "My friends really seem to want to meet you, would you if it's not too much trouble, consider coming to meet them." And as she said that she walked over and looked up at him with huge. Eyes she was so cute Snow felt his hart cry. Snow Shard: "Ugh fine." Flutershy: "Yay." She said with the cutest and happiest look. Snow fallowed her while making a mental note to hug her at some point. Applejack: "Were is it?" Applejack asked an angry looking Rainbow dash. Rainbow dash: "He got away." She said angrily. Applejack: "From you?" Rainbow dash: "Yes!" Applejack: "Ha ha first one to get away huh?" Rainbow dash: "Oh shut up!" Fluttershy walked over to her friends with a smile Flutershy: "Girls I-" Rainbow dash: "Not now Fluttershy we need a plain." Rainbow stated. Applejack: "Right." said Applejack. Applejack: "Twi can you use that spell again?" Twilight: "It only works in a 1 mile radius and i can't just keep using it all over the forest." Flutershy: "Um girls." Applejack: "Ok i can see if Winona can pick him up again." Flutershy: "Um girls-" Rarity: "Whatever gets us out of this forest the fastest is fine with me." Rarity whined. Snow shard stepped next to the cream pegasus Snow Shard: "I got this." He spread his wings and let out a burst of blue flame that lit the area at the same time Twilight, Rainbow dash, Applejack, and Rarity let a Applejack, Twilight, andRarity: "AHH!" Fluttershy cleared her throat Flutershy: "I found him." Rainbow dash: "Buh...but h..HOW i, couldn't catch him."dash said stunned. Flutershy: "I just ran in to him." Twilight interrupted Twilight: "More importunately who or what is he."said Twilight eyeing Snow Shard Flutershy: "I'm afraid i don't know that." Fluttershy told Twilight. Rainbow was still sulking by a tree when Applejack said Applejack: "Well we could just ask him." Flutershy: "Oh good idea um who and what are you?" Fluttershy said hiding her face behind her mane. Rainbow then came back from her gloom and said Rainbow dash: "Yeah who are you!" Snow smiled as he started Snow Shard: "Well first, faster then you." Rainbow grunted. Snow Shard: "Well what do you want to know?" Twilight spoke first Twilight: "What is you name. I'm Twilight Sparkle this is Applejack." Applejack: "Howdy." Twilight: "This is Rarity." Rarity: "Hello there dear." Twilight: "This is Rainbow dash. Rainbow dash: " "Yeah hi." Rainbow said unhappily Twilight: "And you've met Fluttershy." Flutershy: "Um hi." Fluttershy said with a weak smile Snow Shard: "I'm Snow Shard." Twilight: "It's nice to meet you Snow Shard." Twilight said as if meeting a new friend. Snow Shard: "Yeah you too. So obvious question why are you hunting me?"Snow asked. Twilight: "Oh that hehe well we thought you were a new species of phoenix." Snow Shard: "Well you're not totally wrong." Snow said now relaxing. Twilight: "What?" Said Twilight. Snow Shard: "I am a phoenix pony." He stated proudly. Twilight: "Phoenix pony?" Twilight asked raising an eyebrow. Snow Shard: " Yes the first of us was an alicorn his name was Lazarus. Princess Luna and Princess Celestia raise and lower the sun and moon, but King Lazarus was something far different he was the king of the three flames. He was a kind ruler and loved his ponies one time he even said he would give his life for them but all good things come to an end he was betrayed by his other half it's not just Luna that has a dark side, he fell to his darkness and became Black Blood the immortal a mighty and powerful force. He destroyed his entire kingdom in a night but with the rising of the sun so came Princess Celestia to do battle with him. Black Blood won the fight but Princess Luna stepped in before he could finish it. We don't know how but she made Black Blood waver and when he did the king took back his hold seeing his kingdom destroyed his ponies dead knowing he had done it he came through on that give his life thing he broke off his own horn and stabbed himself letting lose his power reviving his ponies but they were different they had been given the power of the three flames they became the first phoenix ponies. The three flames were heat the first flame the power to destroy all in your path or protect all before you, the second flame the flame of earth a green flame that can control the force of nature it's self, and the third flame of ice a blue flame that is so hot it freezes all. Fire phoenix ponies the power of heat have the most flame power the their flame will outlast any, the earth phoenix ponies like your earth ponies are physically stronger from berth and ice phoenix ponies are the rarest once in generation. We're faster then the others. Twilight: "Wow." Twilight said standing still. Twilight: "So were are the other phoenix ponies?" Snow Shard: "I'm the only surviving phoenix pony last of my kind the kingdom was destroyed." Snow said his voice no longer containing any trace of happiness. Twilight: "What? you're really the last of your kind how did it happen?" Snow Shard: "That i don't know." Twilight: "Do you not remember?" Snow Shard: "Something like that." Twilight: "Well if what you said is true, come with us." Snow Shard: "Why?" Twilight: "Well if your the last of your kind and your living in Everfree this place is not safe and if you die that's it for your kind." Snow Shard: "I have lived out here for years i will be fine." Twilight: "I can't just leave you here." Snow Shard: "Why not." Twilight: "Because if your the last of your race that makes you a diplomat." Snow Shard: "A what now?" Twilight: "A diplomat and that means as a citizen of Equestria and princess Celestia's student i have a duty take you to the royal palace." Snow Shard: "What?!"Snow said jumping back eyes wide. Author's Note Hope you all enjoy i wound up spending half the day on this. I have new found respect for writers. Well you asked i gave that's the history of the phoenix ponies hope you liked it. Ok made some changes thanks to an idea from Snowfyre thank you. Frost and flame (chapter three) Cursed phoenix Frost and flame (chapter three) Cursed phoenix "no!" Snow said eyes returning to normal. "but why not, it's dangerous here don't you care about your race?" Twilight asked somewhat angrily. "hehehe" Snow laughed a strange smile crossing his face. "what?" Twilight asked now a small bit disturbed by his face. "oh nothing just, i don't really need to be in the royal palace to 'get it on' if you catch my drift" Twilight then stared at him confused until it finally hit her "oh OH! oh umm yes i see what you mean" she said blushing slightly at her realization . Rainbow holding back on laughing covered her mouth with her hooves a small giggle escaping for a moment. "w-well that's not what i, meant" Twilight said defensively. "whatever you say" Snow almost braking out in laughter at the blushing mare. "i guess you just think that the amazing student of princess Celestia can't handle returning a endangered species" he said egging her on. "NO! i-i could do it NOT that i'm going to w-with you what a mean is!" that was it Snow Shard and Rainbow Dash burst out laughing at Twilight. "nice one!" Rainbow said while still laughing, this kept up for about 2 minutes before they stopped. "ah that was fun" Snow said catching his breath. "well if your done with that" Twilight said a hint of anger in her voice. "i'd like to be a bit more professorial. ahem i Twilight Sparkle, would like to extend an official invitation to you, Snow Shard to join me and my friends in a trip to the royal palace tomorrow after i explain things to the princess" "and i Snow Shard would like to know why i should do so" he said with eyes that told her to go to hell. "well there's food, you could get a soft bed, get to meet the princess and get to see canterlot" she said with a smile. "ugh look i just don't see why i should go to all that i'm fine here not dead yet right?" he said cooling down a bit now seeing she was not luring him in to something. "but-" Twilight was cut off by Applejack "look Twi i know your doing what ya can here but we need sompony else to do it i reckon i know who too" "who?" she said now looking at AJ "in the short time we knew this guy he's out flown Rainbow, pretty much told ya ta back the hell up and made a dirty joke at ya. way ah see it we need a pro" she said with her hove on Twilight's shoulder. "who" she repeated. "her" Applejack said pointing a hove at the sky just as Twilight was about to ask, something came out of the sky landing right in front of her. "me!" Pinkie jumped out of the crater she made when landing. "hi girls! were have you all been? oh and who is that he has claws COOL! hi pony i don't know" "sup" "Pinkie?" Twilight said still trying to understand what just happened. "yeah?" "how did you" "a cannon" "i see" Twilight said still trying understand. "Pinkie that pony over there is the last of his kind so we want to take him to see the princess you need to give him a reason to go there" Applejack stated the problem "ooky doky loky" she said hoping over to Snow after some talking they were to far away for the rest to understand and Pinkie pointing at Twilight a few times they came back. "fine i will go, i guess" Snow said. Twilight had given up on trying to understand Pinkie's ways and said ok . "well then come with us" Twilight said starting off towards home. "nah" came her reply. "what"Twilight said confused. "i will meet you all at the train station tomorrow. Snow said turning to walk away. "but i thought you worked it out with him Pinkie" Twilight now looking at Pinkie "yeah but he wants to sleep here don't worry he pinkie promised" she smiled. "fine" Twilight said worried. the next day they all sat waiting at the station. "were is he" Twilight said. "look up" came a voice. sure enough he was flying above them landing he joined them. the ticket master was a bit taken back by the fact Snow had claws but only a bit he had seen stranger things. as the train ride went on Twilight could not think of anything to talk to Snow about. the others did not have such a problem as Snow talked about air tricks with Rainbow that seemed impossible to Twilight, went to the dining car to get something to eat with Applejack, talked about animals of the forest with Fluttershy, talked with Pinkie about her party's and how her mane smelled delicious and how she got the angle of the cannon right yesterday also speaking with Rarity about the color of his and any other phoenix ponies feathers. after a bit of doing nothing he sighed he then looked at Twilight "hey" "what" Twilight replied with a smile "don't let anypony brake my focus or you all might freeze to death and if you need to do so, do it carefully" "freeze to death!" Twilight said in fear "calm down calm down i'm just going to work on my control of my power like meditation but if i lose control it may get out of hove get it?" "yeah i got it" Twilight said calming herself Snow smiled then sat upright. closing his eyes he saw four balls of light and began to move them one by one. Twilight gazed at him as four balls of blue flame danced and moved around him until they stopped he then made the balls converge in to one that changed shape as if it had a will of this own taking on many forms such as a bird, a spear, a ball of spikes and even Twilight herself she liked that one a lot then it vanished and he opened his eyes. "ah that was fun" Snow said proud of his work. "that was amazing i have never seen fire control like that how did you do that" "natural power of my race" "wow do you think i could learn it?" "well maybe it would not be as easy as it is for me but your a unicorn so it's not impossible with some work" "could you show me?" "that could take years" "well can you tell me the basic of it" "sure" after 7 minutes of talking with Twilight they pulled up to the station in Canterlot, after getting off the train Twilight smiled and said "welcome to Canterlot Snow Shard" " you can call me Snow if you want" "ok Snow "Twilight smiled feeling like she has made a new friend today although she was still thinking how Snow and the princess would meet she still did not know why he was so unhappy about going to the palace. she thought about asking him but she did not want to keep the princess waiting because she was always so busy and had taken time to see them on the clam they had found an endangered species in Everfree forest so keeping her waiting was no option so against her better judgement they continued on. after getting to the palace they were stopped by the guards. "what is it" Twilight asked the guards they motioned towards Snow. "oh him he is an endangered species we are taking him to the princess" they nodded and let them by. entering the palace Twilight could feel Snow shiver behind her as they walked. soon they were in front of the princess's study as she opened the doors she felt a chill behind her she knew this from before Snow was getting ready to use his powers before she could turn to face Snow she heard a voice she knew vary well. "welcome Twilight Sparkle" "hello Princess Celestia" she said worried about what could happen when Snow entered "and hello to the rest of you as well please come in it's nice to see you all agai-" she stopped when she made eye contact with Snow Shard "it's you again" she said with concern getting up in a hurry starting to move towards Snow "stay back" he said ice now forming around him as the air became visible with frost "Snow!" Twilight said in shock and anger the princess stopped with a sad yet hurt look in her eyes "it's ok Twilight i know why he's doing that" she said looking at Snow "please i am sorry for what did just let me" she moved closer with a crackle a shot of blue flame swung in front of her forcing her to back up Twilight then saw the once blue flame flash green and back to blue "whoa there Snow mind tellin us all what the hey is goin on?" "we have met before" Celestia sadly started "i have met him once he came here to find me however there was a changeling in the palace that we had learned of, we knew it was on it's way to the throne room to find me so the doors were locked as i readied a spell to detour the changeling we heard a knock at the door and knew it was him trying to get in cloaked as a pony. we opened the door and i used the spell it worked i saw him, but he did not change back he got up and ran the spell was one of mental magics to make the target fear the caster and i was the caster we chased after him and found something we did not expect we saw the changeling dead he was cut from what looked like claws and more over he was flash frozen with what we thought was the changeling standing over it he then jumped out the window and flew off before i could do anything and here he now stands" "is that true? then Snow just let the princess take the spell off you" "he can not" "what" Twilight said confused "i can't let her near me the spell is still on me i don't blame her for anything but i can't control the mind shattering fear i have of her i'm at my limit just looking at her" he said with an angered and fearful look. "oh" Twilight said now seeing why he did not want to come here "well what if we hold you while she fix's it?" "i may kill you all" "i-i see what if princess Luna-" "i'm not going to put anypony in danger of my power killing them" "but princess Luna is an alicorn" "i don't know if she can or can't stop me i won't have her risk her life" "well there has got to be someway" "oh wait" Snow said thinking "there may be. can't believe i never thought of it" he said turning away from them walking over to a flower vase not looking at the princess he asked "is this important?" "huh? well no i guess not" "good" Snow said grabbing the vase "see you in a bit" he said they all looked at him in confusion but before anypony could move to stop him he took the vase and smashed it on his head hitting the ground with a thud Author's Note sorry this was short. again i'm not going for perfect grammar just want you to be able to read it so if that's the problem just say. oh and if VinylScratchQ1 is reading this thank you for being kind enough to offer your help but i now see this as a way to make the story my own way and take the good and bad of it but thanks. i still fear i made mistakes with this but i'm paranoid so yeah. Frost and flame (chapter four)The black phoenixHi how ya doin? just to be sure you all understand when i use [] it's my input on what is going on in the story, most of you probably got that but just to be sure. from now on i will be doing some small things different.--but before we talk about that i wish to address something, some of you have been complaining about my grammar and while you surely have the right to think as you wish but i just don't see a reason to change much more then i have, so the new updates will [maybe] be the last if they are not to your liking then you know read something else this story is so it may be enjoyed and kill time if that's what your after i have no need nor right to force you to keep reading so comments about my grammar will be read but probably not acted upon but if you see something that looks like a spelling mistake or if you have advice about the story don't hold back i read all comments. but in a way i have to thank all who were hating on this story it made me take a look at it and finally say i put this out because it was one of the things a had come up with and i wanted to show it to anyone who wanted to look.--i will from now on be using some things to help with understanding the story such as: naming the speaker better for those long conversations for example. Darth Snow Shard: Twilight, i am your father. Twilight Skywalker: no that's impossible! Darth Snow Shard: no for real, i even got wonderbolts tickets for you and your friends. Twilight Skywalker: oh... i will also be adding more detail to the story say something if i fail. that's all enjoy the story. Ever wonder? if you have something stronger then yourself inside you?..well what if you did. *smack!* Snow Shard's body hit the clean nearly mirror-like floor of Princess Celestia's study as the shattered vase he'd broke on his head crashed to the floor as well. everypony in the room stood there in shock even the Princess was wide eyed as the five little ponies yelled out at once. "IS HE STUPID?" while pinkie sat humming to herself eyes closed and happy as always. Princess Celestia: "well, that's one way to overcome fear." she said still surprised by Snow Shard's rather drastic move. Twilight: "ummm yeah so can you fix him Princess?" Princess Celestia: "yes, yes i think so well i guess this will make things easier, in a way. this spell will not be easy to brake i wanted the one afflicted by it to stay away for a long time i will need to set him down somewhere, somewhere that is not the floor." lifting him with a levitation spell she placed the the now sleeping Snow on a nearby sofa. Twilight: "umm princess why do you have a sofa in your study?" Princess Celestia: "hmm? oh Luna likes to use this as a gaming room from time to time. i will need my full attention on Snow i shall tell the guards to be sure we are not disturbed." she then turned and walked to the door stopping in front of it she gently opened the door using her magic and poked her head out and looked to the guard on her right. Princess Celestia: "please be sure we are not disturbed and if anypony would like to see me please tell them i will meet with them as soon as i can after i finish my business here." Guard: "yes your highness." Princess Celestia: "thank you." she smiled and pulled her head back in to the room walking back to the ponies she looked at Snow. Princess Celestia: "right,we may now begin i will need to delve in to his mind to remove the spell if i am disrupted in any way it could cause severe damage to him." Twilight: "understood" the Princess nodded to Twilight and closed her eyes as her horn lit. her experience in this kind of thing let her find the spell rather quickly. the inside of everyponies mind was different the inside of Snow's was well, a blizzard not a vary strong one with green trees, no a forest of pine-trees she stepped in to the forest it then was warm the blizzard still went on but it was warm she could see though the snow flying around her clearly, in it's own way it was peaceful. she walked farther in to the forest until she saw one tree that did not look like the rest it was the same in almost all ways except it was black, jet black this was the spell, she focused her magic and made a beam that slowly started to cut through the tree. Twilight sat happily reading the Princess's book collection while Applejack and Rainbow dash stood in the corner bored as hell. Fluttershy was just peacefully siting not to far from Twilight aside from stretching her wings once or twice and looking out the window she was like a part of the room itself. amazingly Pinkie was also siting peacefully smiling and thinking about what her next party should be about and the coming party for Snow and what he might like for it her face darkened as she realized she never asked what his favorite flavor of cake was but she perked up again when she thought to herself everypony likes chocolate. Rarity was over where Snow had hit himself with a vase cleaning up the shattered parts and piecing it back together as she thought about how Snow was a stallion and had such a mare-like form more impotently she would have to get him to stand still later his feathers gave her the most amazing design ideas. the Princess was almost done cutting down the tree--good thing too she was starting to consider making a magic chainsaw--*crack* the tree came falling down and just as one bristle touched ground the tree shattered in to tiny lights then diapering. with a sigh her focus on the spell now broke away she then felt something for just a second but she felt it long enough to know, it was nothing good she hated snooping around in Snow's head but if there was even a small chance it was something that would harm her little ponies she had to take a look. before going to see she mentally apologized to Snow Shard. she walked even farther in to the forest at the center she saw something, a large black door with two chains crossing it forming an X. at the middle locking the two chains was a large bull skull with red eyes she was taken aback by the how sadistic and morbid it looked she had seen something similar to it in her own mind but not so Gothic she knew it was the door to his subconscious where his most private memory's lay she cursed at herself for doing this but she walked up to the door. a light strike from her horn was enough to brake the chains the door opened slightly then it slammed open and the bull skull on the door began to talk in a deep and echoed voice as if it was speaking down a well to her. Bull skull: "The darrrk approaches tho hath opened the seal, his eyes stained black from gazing in to the abyss and the horrors within, his body as the shadows dark color mixed with the bloods crimson beauty, he comes the dark one, he comes the messenger of death his power from only the darkness that fills his soul he is Envoyon." at that moment Celestia knew it was no door to hide his thoughts but to seal this thing and by trying to keep her ponies safe she had set it free opening her eyes in hurry she got to her hooves only to see something she knew was vary bad mystic writing was moving all over the room written in blood as Twilight attempted to make sense of it all. Applejack looked around to find what was causing it Rainbow flying above the strange text was looking for what was causing it too but she was looking to beat it up Fluttershy was also flying but she was busy being scared Rarity had jumped atop the Princess's desk while pinkie was starring at the dark text saying "ohhh ahhh." the Princess turned to Snow who was now gone at that moment they all felt something, something dark Snow was standing in the center of the room his once green and blue wings now black where they were once green and red where once blue his claws now also black his hair was now red on the left and black on the right with a small white lightning bolt down the middle his blue body now jet black except his face that was a pale blue he opened his eyes they were black all but his irises that were blood red he turned and said. Snow Shard?: " hehe hello to you all." his voice echoed as if two voices were speaking at the same time in a voice that sounded much like his normal carefree and prideful one but much more malice filled and sounded as if every word were laughing at them an evil smile came across his face as now all the strange red text that had filled the room slithered in to him his eyes turned to the Princess and he laughed before saying. Snow Shard?: "Oh hiiiiii~." the Princess still trying to figure out what was happening knew she had to keep calm Princess Celestia: "who are you? i take it your not Snow Shard." Snow Shard?: "well well so you're not a total fool yes and no i am him but i'm not him but i have a different name then him." Princess Celestia: "And what would that name be? if i might ask." she said in her calm and royal voice now trying to take control of the situation that now unfolded before her Snow Shard?: "what? do you not know it, did you not hear it before when the gate keeper spoke? well, i am Envoyon The black phoenix." at that moment the guards now realizing that something was wrong burst in to the room Gaurd1: "is everypony alright?!" Gaurd2: huh? you who are you?!" not even turning to face the guards he spoke Envoyon: "silence guard. as i was, and as a result of your, trying to keep your ponies safe you hav-" Guard2: "i said state your name!!" Envoyon: "and i said silence guard. as i was you have set my power fre-" Guard: "I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN STATE YOUR NAME!" now turning to the guard he spoke Envoyon: "oh, well you seem unwilling to silence your voice so...LET ME HELP YOU MAKE IT HEARD." then his eyes flashed red then in response the guards eyes flashed red as well then the guard began to scream but he did not sound normal he sounded like an angry ghost as he yelled Guard2: "ahhhh!! ahhh!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!"and then with a sickening crack the guards bottom jaw broke from his screams as he fell to the ground his broken jaw swinging freely. Envoyon thought it would be fun to brake his front legs as well so he did with another flash the guard hit the floor unconscious Envoyon: "HAHAHAHA that was amazing, the look on his face!" the Princess along with the other guard and the six ponies watched in surprise and horror. Envoyon now calming down from his laughing got ready to speak Envoyon: "fine then, i guess the intro is ruined in such case i shall now leave i don't like how this place feels. bye bye now" and with that his body became black smoke and diapered leaving all in the room to find out what just happened but then something more pressing came up as they realized the guard that was attacked....was dead. Author's Note hope you all like i will try to do the next one soon Frost and flame (Chapter five) Black phoenix: blackened snowFrom this day forth, we two are one. I am you. And you are me. We are- After they had dealt with the corpse that Envoyon had left they went to the throne room to let the study be cleaned, apparently Envoyon's visit had left a lingering dark magic force and it needed to be gotten rid of before anypony could go in without protective gear. As they sat in the throne room Twilight remained silent they knew why, it was her idea to bring Snow here to the palace and now not only did it let lose some dark monster, but it had caused the death of one of the guards that had done his best to keep them safe. After a long silence the Princess chose to brake the ice. Princess Celestia: "Twilight, it was not your fault that what happened did it's my fault for not leaving his mind when i should have i promise we will find him and find out what is going on, but you all should go back to ponyvile and rest." Twilight: "o-ok." She said still confused about what had gone wrong Princess Celestia: "oh! one more thing were did you all find him before, it might help." Twilight: "we found him in Everfree forest, actually we found him kinda far in to Everfree." Twilight said now starting to think a bit. how long did he live in that place? how did he survive for the time he was there? no way he could have escaped all the dangers of the forest, something was not right but she had to get back home before she could focus on that. Upon getting back to ponyvile she returned to the library/her home to find Spike waiting for her Spike: "Twilight! your back i heard about what happened from the Princess but you need to see this" With that the young dragon ran up the steps and returned as fast as he could with something in hand, it was the feather they got from the forest the one that led them to Snow in the first place but something was odd about it, it had turned jet black just as Snow had before Twilight: "the feather, what happened?" Spike: "it changed earlier today i thought something was off about it but i never thought that it meant that Snow had transformed" Twilight: "let me see" She then lifted the feather with her magic and took a close look then she used a spell she was working on to read the feather to find out more about it her eyes snapped open as her spell finished Twilight: "magic?" Spike: "huh?" Twilight: "i feel magic on this, that means that Envoyon can use magic!?" Spike: "huh? but he's not a unicorn" Twilight: "what could this mean?" Envoyon: "Foolish Rex i told him i had self-control i only killed one pony back there" Envoyon said smiling evilly he now sat in the trees back at Everfree forest he had also undergone some, changes his size had gone up so much so he could now match Pincess Celestia in height and size he still had Snow's mare-like form but taller he was now wondering what to do. and then. ???: " no no no! line up your head and neck aim forward horn straight and fire" Envoyon: "what the hell was that" He then went to take a look as he crept through the tree tops his body began to vaporize as he became a moving black fog. he made his way towards the sound and stopped in some branches his front claws reformed out of the fog that was his body as did his head and upper-body his claws grabbed the branch as he smiled and looked over to the sound. Envoyon: "changelings eh? seems they are training, but that's a big one she must about my size hmm what did they call the big one? hm, Queen Chrysalis yes that's it that was who she is interesting, then were the hell am i near the hive? must be well no harm in watching them" Queen Chrysalis: "UGH! how hard is it to fallow my words! at this rate i will never have a new personal guard. this failure, no, the simple fact i even thought about letting you all be MY guard what was i thinking" Envoyon: "you were thinking when you chose those fools? Queen Chrysalis: "apparently not i should- wait who said that? show yourself!" Envoyon: "sure" Envoyon laughed as he jumped out the trees landing right in front of Chrysalis. he smiled as he stood face to face with her she took a moment to look at him his black inky body and red and black hair as he looked at her as well she then looked in to his eyes glaring at him as she thought. he looks strange i should get ready to fight as needed. As he thought. ohhh she's kinda hot for a changeling. He laughed with his thought. Queen Chrysalis: " i am Quen Chrysalis ruler of the changelings who are you strange, thing hmm you do look like a pony, well, a bit" Envoyon: " well yes kind of. and i am Envoyon the black phoenix" He said with a wicked smile. Queen Chrysalis: "never heard of you" Envoyon: "i'd be surprised if you had" Queen Chrysalis: "what is that suppose to mean?" She said angrily. Envoyon: "just what i said" Queen Chrysalis: "you are quite disrespectful it would be a shame if someone were to beat that out of you" She said now closing her gaze getting annoyed. Envoyon: "it would be huh? to bad we may never find out" He said arrogantly. Queen Chrysalis: "yes well, we shall see" She said turning to walk past the three changelings she had been training. Queen Chrysalis: "this, what ever he is. has disrespected your queen will you do nothing?" The three looked at each other, then glared at Envoyon. his smile grew bigger as he realized the situation. his eyes now had none of the calm arrogant being he was before, now a clear lust for blood shown through. his red eyes now looked like a portal to hell he looked at the changelings with an evil happiness the changelings now saw they had gotten in to something bad but didn't let it stop them Queen Chrysalis: "now go. go and defend you queen" they readied as one jumped his mind was shattered by the cry of Envoyon. Envoyon: "COME TO ME FOOL!" With that before the changeling could even react Envoyon was face to face with him then a green flame came forth from his torso and swallowed the changeling whole in to it's burning depths. Envoyon: "The fourth flame, the flame of death this is my power!." He turned his gaze to the other changelings and a ball of green flame came to life in front of him he then raised it and in an instant it went flying at them leaving a trail of flame. as it struck one of them in the face he did not let out a single sound as instantly his exoskeleton burned in to nothing. where as normally it would leave nothing but the bone left he turned to the last one who was trying to hide in a tree. he glared at it and it set ablaze and he laughed as he burned the tree down. he then turned to Chrysalis who was watching now interested in what was going on before her. Envoyon was then consumed by green flame that diapered then reappeared before her, she was not expecting this and made an attempt to jump back her attempt was met with something even more unexpected he moved forward locking his muzzle with her's she was stunned by the complete insanity that this monster had caused as his tongue found it's way in to her mouth pulling at her own and even stroking it once or twice it stroked the roof of her mouth before he then pulled back. she shook her head in an attempt to make sense of it all. as he said. Envoyon: "bye bye Chrysyyyy~" he then jumped backwards in to the air and once again became a black fog. Chrysalis: "bye" she said under her breath Author's Note i made this while listening to some awesome music if you've ever heard the Dead Space 3 credits theme you know what it is. i kept the. Name: "dialog" thing i don't know why but it just seems better with me you know? but thanks on everything else Snowfyre. once again hope you all enjoy the story and i shall explain the green flame and what Envoyon really is later in the story when the time seems right (Chapter six) Black phoenix: The flame of the dead-A monster. A ghost. A curse. And as such we shall be- Envoyon: "Hey, heyyyy, hello? Hey you alive?" Rainbow dash: "Uhhhh huh? huh? huh?! why, what where!! who?!" Envoyon: "Oh just me, Envoyon. you remember me? yeah, how could you forget the awesome Envoyon!" Rainbow opened her eyes to see the dark phoenix pony standing not too far grinning at her. She looked around to get her barrings back, she was in a cave lit with torches, meaning she was ether deep in the cave or it was night. She was hovering above the ground in a sphere of red magic energy and had no clue what happened or why she was here so the most open option was to keep cool and trick him in to telling her what happened. Envoyon: "So want to know what happened where you are and why?" well that's one way.Rainbow thought to herself in confusion. Rainbow dash: "Um yeah." She said trying to find some ground to stand on in this ball of energy. With a flash of Envoyon's eyes the ball expanded and a floor of the same energy formed below her. She took a good look at it before landing on the patch of floor glaring at him as he sat there. Rainbow dash: "I'm watching you." She said with a cautious tone. Envoyon: "What ever makes you feel better. i got your name when i kidnapped you, so i will just call you Rainbow for now. that ok with you Rainbow?" Rainbow dash: "No." Envoyon: "Perfect, Rainbow it is then." Rainbow dash: "Damn you." Envoyon: "Well then. Let me tell you a story of the vault and- umm oops wrong story i mean." A cloud of black smoke appeared from seemingly nowhere as Envoyon stepped out of it and smiled he now found himself in a field outside ponyvile past sweet apple acres. The field was full of soft grass the wind blew past him gently and the grass slowly moved back and forth as did the white and blue followers that dotted the field he relaxed as he thought I may need to see that changeling again sometime. But more importantly i need to deal with the six elements they could be a problem if i run in to them. He then had an idea. Kidnapping! kidnapping never fails but which one to take he then felt somepony coming and ran in to the bushes. A rainbow maned pegasus flew by heading somewhere. That works he thought. he then became a black smoke again and fallowed her from the shadows staying out of sight as best he could until they reached a small cottage with a lot animals Envoyon: "What the hell? Where is this place and who has this many animals?" He watched the pegasus as she walked up to the door and knocked, a moment later a yellow pegasus with a pink mane came to the door and opened it Rainbow dash: "Hey Flutershy i'm here to help you fix the bird nests where do i start?" Flutershy: "Thank you Rainbow it's just that, for some reason a lot of nests have been knocked down somehow." Envoyon then remembered that he had taken down the nests with that blast of wind he did when he was testing his power yesterday Oops he thought. Rainbow dash: "Yeah no problem." Rainbow smiled at her. Flutershy then gave her the tools for the job and got a second pair for herself they then set off they went to where the nests were hit and got to work. sure Rainbow might not be as good at making nests as Rarity but she could do almost anything with some glue and duck tape Flutershy was amazed with her skill with duck tape. after a few nests Rainbow saw one farther in she called to Flutershy Rainbow dash: "Hey, i'm gonna go fix that one." Flutershy: "Ok be careful." Rainbow flew out to the nest and got to work there were 4 cracks in the nest that she glued up quick and returned to find an unconscious Flutershy and before she could react a strange spell hit her and she pasted out. Envoyon: "And that is how you got here don't worry your friend is fine she's probably awake by now and trying to find you, but she will fail." Rainbow dash: "Well i'm not worried my friends will find me." She said with a confident smile. Envoyon: "That so? thanks for the tip, now i can just hit six birds with one stone. And i know just how to do this, actually i will make it easy for them. now to go set the trap." With that he closed his eyes then slammed them open he smiled and then his eyes flashed as he and Rainbow vanished. Twilight was at Flutershy's cottage she had been told of Rainbow's kidnapping and had assembled the others as she attempted to find the magic energy of the one who took her. Just then she found it, she was familiar with it as well it was Envoyon Twilight: "I found them but, the one who took her was Envoyon." They looked at each other thinking for a moment then they all agreed it had to be done they could not leave Rainbow. Before going Twilight got the elements from her home just in case and they set out in to everfree from the cottage. they did not need to go that far before Twilight could feel where Envoyon was. they stopped in a clearing a large field in everfree this was not normal not in everfree. then they saw Rainbow in the sphere of energy in the center of the field and ran to her Twilight then realized halfway this...was a trap. Rainbow opened her eyes she was in the middle of a field Rainbow dash: "Where are we!" Envoyon: "Everfree." Rainbow dash: "Huh? but everfree is all dark and gloomy." Envoyon: "What if i told you that there is a way to reverse that?" Rainbow dash: "What?" Envoyon: "Awww your so cute when your surprised." She just glared at him before he vanished. After i minute or so her friends showed up she smiled at them she knew they would come and they ran to her but then Envoyon appeared behind them. He chose his targets. With a flash he grabbed Applejack's tail and the two of them were gone were gone he then appeared next to the still trapped Rainbow and his claw lit with a red energy that rendered Applejack unconscious in a second he threw her down beside Rainbow as she gave her best effort to brake the sphere that caged her trying to save her friend Envoyon: "Hey there." Twilight: "What did you do!" Envoyon: "Piff she's not dead" Twilight: "Let them go!" Envoyon: "No i'm no fool you need all six to use the elements and i have two. As it stands without the elements you can't beat me so right now i could kill you all--the Princess would try to kill me--but i could i'm going to take the two of them so you can't take me out." Twilight: "Hold on! wait" Envoyon: "What?" Twilight: " What can i do to make you leave them in peace." Envoyon: "Hmm. oh! one sec" His eyes flashed again applejack's hooves were tied up good in a red magic bonding just in time too she was waking up. She opened her eyes and saw what was going on Twilight motioned to her that it was ok and she calmed down a bit Envoyon: "Your friends in exchange for you is good i just need one." Twilight: "fine." She walked over to him and he threw her friends over to the others as he dispelled Rainbow's sphere and Applejack's bonds Twilight then summoned up her courage and magic as she magically transported to her friends and placed the elements on them Twilight: "NOW!" Envoyon: "HATREDS CURSE"As they readied the beam Twilight saw all light drain from the area in to Envoyon until nothing but dark was left Envoyon now stood in a black nothingness as he glowed brightly blood red. As they fired he did the same a beam of red energy came from his head the two beams crashed together making an orb in the center of the collision shining and flashing all sorts of colors until Envoyon said Envoyon: "I hate you.....I STILL HATE YOU REX." With that his power blasted forth not having to use the elements this long before the six ponies had run low on steam and his powerful burst struck through scattering the six as the light returned to the field Twilight looked up and saw Envoyon grab her head as they vanished in to thin air the others just lay asleep. Twilight woke up to find herself in a cage an old one she was in some sort of ruins a throne room it was destroyed the roof was gone and the columns that once decorated the path to the throne had cracked and broken with age the marble floor had suffered the same fate and the rug leading up to the throne had dried out and become matted and shaggy the throne it's self the fabric had gone with the rug and was dried up and shaggy and was ripped in different places the frame of the throne was made of gold so for the most part it was fine besides some dirt and dust. Twilight began to think how did Envoyon use such a powerful thing without expending too much power such a spell would drain even the Princess, then it hit her she saw something she had been missing and it made her shiver in fear and confusion in front of the throne Envoyon lay on the ground on-longer breathing Twilight gasped as she said Twilight: "h-he's dead." Envoyon:"i'm * cough* i'm not.....dead." She held back her scream as he rose up coughing up blood as his breathing returned Envoyon: " at....at least not for good." Author's Note Here it is sorry it took so long took some time for me to get in that zone you know? once again all comments are welcome sure to be some fails i did not see my PC is a bit better now so failures are less lot less enjoy (Chapter seven) Black phoenix: The demon and the phoenix (Chapter seven) Black phoenix: The demon and the phoenix -death Twilight watched in both amazement and horror as Envoyon got up from the floor in front of the throne and walked like some kind of zombie up to the throne and took a seat. She was wondering before how he had cast a spell so powerful it could defeat the elements of harmony with such ease but she now saw the power had taken a mighty toll on him soo much so that it had seemingly killed him So now, how in the name of the royal sisters did he get back up after his death? She looked as he turned to her. Envoyon: " I thought...you would be asleep...for a bit longer." He said trying as hard as he could to catch his breath looking as if he could die once more at any second in fact, she could defeat him in his current state but there was the fact that she was in a cage--that held up amazingly well for it's age--and she would risk killing him in this state. After gathering her thoughts she spoke. Twilight: "Well, i have some questions for you." She said sternly. Envoyon: "And i care?" He said jokingly. Twilight: "Well it seems i hold the upper hove right now should i make a move." She said hoping he would not see through her bluff. Envoyon: "Point taken, even you could kill me easily right now huh?" He said with a weary smile. Twilight: "First how are you not dead right now?" Envoyon: "Well i saw that coming. You see i am what you may call a shadow god, or rather THE shadow god and as such i don't stay dead i just revive and to tell the truth it hurts more and more every time, the feeling of every organ in your body beating back to life, your lungs gasping and clawing for breath there are things that can kill me don't get me wrong but i'm not going to tell you. But that aside i was summoned into existence to protect the phoenix pony kingdom oh and if your wondering how that went take a look around your in the throne room of the phoenix pony king Rex." he said grabbing the right side of his face with his right caws to shield his eye from the light for a moment his head was hurting bad he was unable to see straight before but now it was all returning to him he was almost healed now but he thought he would let the unicorn ask one more question.. Twilight: "What? but you said this place was destroyed." Envoyon: "What? i said no such thing." he said a tad confused. Twilight: "When we first met." Envoyon: "Huh? oh! ha ha HA HA HA HA! you think i'm Snow?"he said as if she had just made a joke. Twilight: "Y-you are right?" Envoyon: "Yes and no, we share this body. Let me explain, you see phoenix ponies are not unicorns they can't do magic summoning but they can use potion magic to change a life already in progress, what happened was the potion to make me was made by the king himself and drank by the strongest warrior in the palace at the kings order when they were lucky enough that she was pregnant and willing. Her name was, Spark Shard she was a fire phoenix pony and naturally orange because she was female she had crimson eyes and yellow claws and red wings her long flowing mane was also orange and her mark was downward facing sword with a dragon circle around it she was the strongest of the warriors her flame was mighty and her mind quick but one day she met her match the earth phoenix pony Fable Wind, he was an earth phoenix pony so he was green with emerald wings and brown claws he had blue eyes his mane was short and shaggy and his mark was hammer held by vines he too was a mighty warrior maybe the only one who could defeat her they were the two strongest in all the kingdom and when the king caught wind they were expecting a foal he got to work. And it was a success the foal was born and named Snow Shard the two parents were overjoyed they had a foal and to add he was the first frozen phoenix pony in over one-hundred years it was an amazing thing that had all of the kingdom in a uproar they were not only the mightiest warriors of the kingdom but they had brought life to the second frozen phoenix pony since twenty years after the fail of king Lazarus. But the king did not expect that he would be born, he thought it would be the demon he called so he of course did not tell the two lovers that he really gave them the potion to kill their foal and make this demon. He thought he had failed but then after two years he got word that that Snow Shard had been talking to something that was not there speaking to seemingly nothing the mother and father were worried they thought the king would know because of the potion he had gave her that she thought was to make him strong he then made a visit to the their house after ordering the lovers to go and slay a hydra that had come up at the main gate as a decoy. He inspected the foal after telling Snow Shard it was no more then a health check up, he spent hours trying to find any sign of the monster in the end he failed, and in his rage ordered the murder of the foal he stepped out to calm him self when he returned the guards ordered to kill the foal were dead, torn apart and in place of the foal stood a black and red phoenix pony larger then himself it towered over him, the monster did not like him but it could not ignore that he given him life so it served as the guardian demon of the kingdom in secret for twenty-three years and it's name was Envoyon." Twilight: "..Wow so um what happened to the kingdom?" She said in shock trying to understand how she got here, what Envoyon was, and what could have happened after the events of the story she just heard. Envoyon: "Well i could tell you but i have now regained my power so that was your last question for today." he said a smile cracking across his face as Twilight now shrunk from the demon at his full power Envoyon: "Worry not i don't plan to kill you or anything i just need to be sure you don't rejoin your friends that way you can't catch me your free to move about this room as you wish but no farther i have a food supply for you there." He said pointing to a bag of vegetables and fruit and next to it was a pool of clean water in the corner of the room she thought to be her water he forgot to mention. Twilight: "Is that water for me?" She asked looking at it. Envoyon: "Hmm? oh yes it is...in fact." He got off the throne and walked over to it his claw glowed red and he began to cut at the ground in front of it when he was done she looked over and felt as if he was making fun of her as he had carved Twilight in the ground to show it was her's like she was a dog. Envoyon; "There." He said smiling then his eyes flashed red and the cage opened Twilight walked out still glaring at him just then it hit her Twilight: "Were my element headdress?" Envoyon: "I will keep that for now." He said walking to the large door. Twilight: "Were are you going?" She said worried about what he might do to her friends or anypony he comes in contact with. Envoyon: "To do whatever i want, for the first time i am...free." He said the doors closing behind him Author's Note I'm sorry it's taking so long lately inspiration is little it seems.
Frost and flame (Chapter one) the phoenix [Fixed a bit.] Frost and flame (Chapter one) the phoenix [Fixed a bit.] Pinkie Pie: ''HAHAHAHAHA THERE'S A BANANA ON YOUR HEAD!'' Rainbow Dash ''Only because you, SHOT IT AT ME!'' she shouted trying her best to keep herself from laughing. hmm the ponies over there are always having some sort of fun Snow shard thought to himself peering out at pinkie and dash from a tree top. Hi i'm Snow shard the frozen phoenix pony, i have lived out of sight and away from other ponies ever since i can remember. i came from the phoenix pony kingdom we were not really against being with the other ponies, but the phoenix ponies have never shown the fact we even exist to outside ponies so nopony knows we do or should i say did. I am the last phoenix pony i know of so far, i remember were i came from just not much about it. I'm not all that good at meeting other ponies and have this fear that they will not like me much for me and maybe just a little the fact i can make a strange fire--as my name would hint--it freezes things, strange huh? Only maybe last week did i see the ponies down there having fun and good times after i thought about it i decided i would watch them when i am bored. That brings us here, i don't even know their names but they are fun to watch. Rainbow Dash: ''Yeah well if your done shooting bananas at me i should get going, there's a storm tomorrow and the weather team is gonna put it together early because tomorrow is my, and some others day off. See ya pinkie'' She said before flying off. pinkie waived Pinkie Pie: ''bye dash'' she then turned around to trot off. Snow Shard jumped up doing a mid air back flip then spread his wings flying off back to Everfree. He then landed on a cliff his claws making a light scrapping sound as they hit the rock, standing on the rock the sun beamed down on him giving a full look at his phoenix pony form Snow Shard was a phoenix pony his wings were bigger then the wings of any normal pegasus also more birdlike green and blue feathers blue at the backs of his wings green up front. his green mane with a shade of blue that was hanging in his face covering one side of it most of time. Despite being a stallion Snow shard had a thin streamline form with his blue coat sure his slender lack-muscle body was strange for a stallion and from time to time back in the Phoenix Pony Kingdom he may have been mistaken for a mare but the wind resistance was decreased and he liked to go fast his green and blue eyes gleamed in the light of the sun on his fore-hooves he had ice like claws four per hove, he had made use of this many times as it was a useful tool for climbing and fighting on his flank rested the image of a green Phoenix feather with a blue shine at the center symbolizing his speed and pride a pair of blue goggles lay around his neck with green lenses he did not know were he got them just they were important. [if this was not a good enough description of Snow shard his picture is the art for this.] Looking out he saw it would be sunset in just a few hours. What now he thought. nothing else to do guess i will practice, what today? Hmm ah! the stall drop. Opening his wings Snow shard took flight going straight up until he thought he was high enough then closed his wings and crossed his hooves over his chest falling straight down he waited until the count of five then reopened his wings and spread his hooves like a second pair of wings doing three spins to the right he then looped once recovering in a few seconds now flying straight he began his practice run, dodging oncoming trees and rocks then flying at a large bolder and just before making contact changed direction upwards evading the rock then at the top doing three more spins continuing his training until nightfall. At the end of of training for the day snow sat on to forest floor when suddenly his stomach growled Snow Shard:"time for dinner i guess." he said as he walked off. After 30 minuets or so he came to a stop he knew this place, when he was hungry he would often come here to get an apple or two this place was called Sweet Apple Acres. Grabbing an apple he walked off thinking to himself need to get some food tomorrow. The next day Snow woke up nothing seemed out of order. Being that Everfree was such a dangerous place he would not normally sleep in the same place more then twice. Today he found himself in a dark and rather large cave he knew it was dangerous to sleep in a cave such as this one for fear a dragon may inhabit the cave however the echo of places like this one would put him right to sleep at night with no problem the caves dripping water mixed with the echo was just perfect for him. Standing up he took a quick look around the cave to be sure nothing had come in while he was asleep after finding nothing out of place he shook his head in order to clear his mind and ready himself for whatever today could throw at him his green and blue mane swung back and forth as he shook his head. As he was finishing a thought came to him Snow Shard"i should go down to the stream." he had been using a nearby stream to bathe for the last 3 weeks or so, plus the water would help him fully wake. He was making his way out of the cave when he heard the sound of a growl he knew this sound and with the help of his wings he jumped from the mouth of the cave to a nearby tree top looking down at the place he was once standing he saw just what he was expecting a timber-wolf. Soon after two more timber-wolfs were at first ones side after looking around the three wolfs entered the cave. Done with that cave. Snow thought to himself. After making sure the wolfs would not see him Snow Shard made his way to the stream and now stood by it Snow Shard: ''add find new house to the list.'' Well i will work on that later bath now. Jumping in to the air Snow aimed right at the stream and dived in. It was not that deep but just deep enough to swim. Coming up his wet mane flopped back his coat now wet shined in the morning sun looking at himself Snow said with a smile Snow Shard: ''Damn i'm hot ha ha.'' then spreading his wings he carefully stroked them in order to clean them. He did the best he could, Snow loved his wings being able to fly or fly fast was something he loved more then life it's self. The stream was in the middle of two forest sections perhaps the only place in Everfree that the sun would shine. Making the stream glisten in it's light also making it a warm and nice place for Snow to go from time to time. After finishing and shaking himself almost dry Snow sat down next to the stream in the sun to dry further. He thought he would take this time to think about what to do next. Hmm need to get some food and find a house that house thing will be the problem won't it? Snow knew how to get food after living here for a bit he knew what was bad and good to eat in Everfree as far as plants go but in here finding a house was, difficult no telling what may lay in caves. Sometimes he used old timber-wolf dens in the past but one time he had found out the one he had been using was not so abandon that little encounter left him reluctant to do that unless needed REALLY BAD if need be he could also use a cloud. He was not able to do anything about the weather like a pegasus but he could walk on clouds like one, but that was a problem as well somepony might see him if he was drifting in the sky. Oh well food first then he set off in search of food. After finding what he was looking for in the way of food he came across a large bolder with a hole in it. Wonder how big that hole is. He thought flying up to it Snow Shard: ''big enough'' he said climbing in. He then placed the food he collected in a second hole inside the bolder it was now mid day. He made up his mind he would go spy [I MEAN] watch the ponies he would go see when he was bored. Then he remembered the rainbow maned one saying something about a storm today. He decided to stay near his new house and soon it was poring outside Snow Shard:''thank the moon a made that call.'' he said. Don't look like it will clear up anytime soon guess i will just sit in here. (after 5 minutes.) Snow Shard: "this is Boring!" Author's Note Sorry this took so long if anyone was waiting. As if ha ha anyway it took sometime to sort things out this is my first fic on here. I made a death note fic once and it was loved i thought i would try this too if you have something to say about this story it is welcome but i pay no mind to dudes who are trying to pick a fight. hope you like it if not that's cool maybe it's not your thing maybe you did not like how i made it or wrote it that's cool too at least it killed some time right?.....yeah time lets go with that. Well i fixed the story a bit i think it is good but i'm trying so hard i fear i missed something so please keep telling me if you see something wrong thanks i plan to explain more on phoenix ponies later in.
Frost and flame (Chapter two) the Feather [Fixed a bit]Snow Shard: "Ugh sleeping in this rock feels...like sleeping, in a rock"...*face hove* Snow realized how stupid what he just said sounded. Whatever well it's morning now, guess i should go to the stream. And off he went. After a relaxing bath in the stream he began to walk back to his rock\house. When he heard something, he crouched down and moved in on it. It was a bunny? What is a bunny doing in Everfree? this makes no sense Snow thought. The bunny hoped around as if looking for something. The bunny was small and white with a black nose and long white ears it looked vary soft and well fed. That told Snow this bunny was probably not wild and had been someponies pet or something. Snow looked around the place to be sure nopony nor dangerous animal was around,then taking a step out of the bushes he moved behind the bunny without it seeing him. Also not a vary watchful bunny Snow laughed in his head. Reaching out a talon he taped the bunny's shoulder twice to get it's attention. The bunny spun around in a panic eyes meeting Snow's, at first the bunny was happy to see something that did not want to eat him, then he saw Snow's talons and his eyes were as big as Snow's hooves in a second the bunny turned to run like Pinkie to a party when Snow grabbed him by the ears holding him up face to face. He panicked and attempted to escape but Snow's grip was tight Snow Shard: "Hey cool it bunny i'm not going to eat you stop kicking." the bunny didn't stop in fact that made the bunny kick harder. Snow Shard: "Some angel you are." Snow said sarcastically after he said that the bunny stopped, instead it looked at Snow in surprise. Snow Shard: "Huh? what" Then the bunny smiled at Snow. Snow Shard: "What is that your name?" He asked the bunny it shook it's head up and down. Snow Shard "Irony. So your done kicking and all right?" The bunny once again shook it's head up and down. Snow Shard:"Cool." Snow said as he put the bunny down. Snow Shard: " What is a bunny doing in this ugly place?" The bunny made some movements and sighs to tell him that he was with his friend a pony that he has been with for a long time and maybe his best friend, going back from moving some frogs when they were attacked by timber wolfs and got separated as they made their escape and he was looking for her. Snow Shard: "Ah got ya well i got nothing better to do i can help you out a bit." Snow said as angel smiled, Snow Shard: "You know where you two were last?" Angel motioned for Snow to fallow him and he did. After a bit of walking angel stopped. Snow Shard: "here?" Snow asked. Angel shook his head yes. Snow looked around the area slowly. Snow Shard: "Hey angel were do you think your friend would go?" Angel put a paw to his chin thinking he then began to move around to tell Snow about Ponyville and that she would try to go there if she was in trouble. Snow Shard: "Oh that place i know it, lets go" Snow said as him and angel started off, after walking for fifteen minutes or so they stopped. Looking out on Ponyville Snow saw the pink mare he had seen from time to time. Snow Shard: "Hey angel go try asking that pink mare i will wait here". Angel gave a salute and hoped off hoping over to the pink mare he began to make motions again then the pink mare spoke. Pinkie Pie:"Nope i haven't seen Fluttershy come back i thought she was with you. One sec" In a flash of pink she went all though the town Snow's jaw dropped as she ran through town. Snow Shard: "She's fast!" She returned to angel. Pinkie Pie: "Nope, no Fluttershy is she ok?" Angel began to sweat and nodded yes. Hopping back to Snow he started to bite a nearby stick in fear. Snow Shard: "It's ok we will find her." Angel looked up at him and smiled worriedly. Gazing down at angel Snow said. Snow Shard: "Ugh whatever lets do this." Angel looked at him in confusion before Snow grabbed him and put him on his back. Snow Shard: "Hold on." Snow had not wanted to search for the pony angel was looking for from the air, for fear of being seen but this was impotent. After running deeper in to the forest to decrease the chance of being seen by the ponies in Ponyville Snow took off flying around the forest and it was not long until angel saw his friend looking for him. Snow landed nearby and let angel off, angel smiled at him before hopping over to his friend Snow watched for second then he turned to walk off Snow Shard: "Ow!" Snow's wing hit a low branch. Meh, nothing. Snow thought as he walked away before vanishing in to the forest Fluttershy: "Oh angel where were you? I was looking everywhere i'm so glad your safe. Huh?" Fluttershy looked down to find a Feather. Fluttershy: "Oh my, i don't think i have seen a feather like this before...i will ask Twilight to look at it later come on angel lets go back home." Angel had been eyeing a tree. He turned to her and they started back. Snow Shard: "Well that's over." Snow said happily. It's mid day now got some time to kill, guess i will just practice. And he set off for his normal practice area. ------O---O------ Fluttershy: "Um excuse me Twilight but i um, i found this out in Everfree and I'm not sure what it is so, i thought maybe you would know something, you have all those books on animal species." Twilight: "Sure Fluttershy let me have a look hmm...uh actually i'm not sure what it is myself, I've never seen this kind of ice blue." Just then Rarity and Applejack walked in with looks of concern that faded as they entered. Twilight: "Oh hi Applejack hi Rarity why are you here?" Rarity: "Well pinkie told me and Applejack Fluttershy was missing so we came to see if you had seen her and seeing as she is here it seems all is well." Rarity said smiling. Fulttershy: "oh yes i'm fine". Applejack: "well that's good ta hear." Applejack said smiling. Twilight: "but she did bring back this strange feather and i'm not sure what it's from, actually i think i have seen something like this before on Philomena the Princesses pet Phoenix but I've never heard of a blue Phoenix before. Do you know what this means!?" Spike taking note of Twilight's expression knew it was one of those times. Spike: "Oh boy." Spike said under his breath while the others looked at Twilight. Twilight: "This may be a new kind of Phoenix just think if we discovered a new species we would be able to write our own book!" Spike shook in thought of how long a book by Twilight would be. Spike: "Oh no" the dragon said." Rarity: "And think! when it shed it's feathers i could make the most amazing head peace from them." Rarity chimed in Applejack: "Aw what the hey could be fun."Applejack agreed Applejack: "Fluttershy how long ago you say you found that there feather?" Fluttershy: "Oh only 15 minutes or so why?" Applejack: "Well if we give that feather to Winona i bet ya she'd find that critter." Twilight: "Good idea Applejack Fluttershy could you go get Rainbow dash an eye in the sky could make things easier" Fluttershy: "Sure" Twilight: "Good i will get some equipment and meet you girls at Fluttershy's house" Applejack:"I'm gonna get Winona" Applejack joined in Rarity: "And i shall fetch a hat" Rarity said as they all split off. sometime later they all met at Fluttershy's Twilight: "Ok everypony ready?" Twilight asked. "All set" said Applejack Rarity: "Let us begin" said Rarity Rainbow dash: "Oh yeah lets go!" a pumped Rainbow dash joined Fluttershy: "yay~" said Fluttershy Twilight: "ok lets go" Twilight smiled. -----O---O---- Snow sat on a cliff. Practice had gone well he had perfected on two of his tricks and now was relaxing in the sun. This had been a good day so far it was strange to see angel before, but all and all he seemed cool. He then closed his eyes to think on the day and to calm the odd feeling something was about to happen. ----O---O---- Applejack: "Got it Winona? good girl, go find it." Applejack and the others fallowed behind winona until they came across a large bolder with a hole in it Applejack: "The trail leads here that hole's bit high up Rainbow see if ya can get in there." Rainbow dash: "Will do." Rainbow flew up and in to the hole after a minute dash came out. Rainbow dash: "Yeah something was living here." Applejack: "Winona can ya find the critter that lives here?" Winona: "Arf." With that winona started off. walking this deep in the Everfree forest was getting dangerous luckily they had Rarity's comments on the heat and humidity of the forest to keep them going, away from her. Winona stopped. Looking around she barked, that let Applejack know that what they were tracking was near. ----O---O---- Applejack: "Over here winona?" Winona: "Arf." Snow could hear, voices? Have i finally gone crazy? \ Applejack: "Alright ya'll it's somewhere around here keep your guard up." No they are real. Snow backed up slowly until he vanished in the forest he then silently moved around to the source of the voices. Looking out at them he was confused. Snow Shard: "Why are they here?" He whispered, he then saw the pegasus he saw before with angel. That made more questions rise in his mind but all of them faded when he saw the cowpony give her dog one of his feathers. he slipped back in to the forest undetected. Snow Shard: "They're here for me why?" Damn knew i should have looked more when i hit that branch. When he saw them Snow had taken a good look at them all: The lavender unicorn may be a small problem, The cowmare has a strong kick don't want to fight if i can avoid it, The other unicorn is watchful she may be the one with the highest chance to see me besides that dog, and the rainbow mane one is fast in the air and smart thank the moon they don't have the pink one. Should be easy to get away as long as i avoid them. He started making his way around them when he overheard the unicorn say Twilight: "So it's somewhere around here like, this area?" Applejack: "Yeah why ya ask twi?" Twilight: "I may be able to find it if i use a locating spell i couldn't before because it was to far away but i may be able to find it if it's in this area." Applejack: "Well be my gust." the cowmare gave her the feather. This made Snow's hart race as he realized he had seconds to get clear of an unknown radius. Snow Shard: "I knew that unicorn was a problem." He whisperer angrily. Suddenly everything around him flashed a lavender color and she said Twilight: "over there" pointing right at Snow Shard's location. Snow Shard: "Oh boy." Snow said sarcastically Twilight: "Ok girls quietly we need to surround it." They began quietly making their way over moving in around the bush. No choice Snow thought. Then the bush began to glow in a blue light blinding the ponies. With one eye open twilight saw the bush begin to freeze. In a second Snow shot out of the bushes covering his body in blue flame so they could not see him. He took to the air at full speed. Once the stunned ponies could see again Applejack was first to speak Applejack: "Rainbow get after it it's flying away" Rainbow dash: "Not as fast as me!" Rainbow dash yelled as she flew after it. Snow looked back and he knew they would send her, the Rainbow one. Still cloaked in his flame Snow was like a comet flying though the sky Rainbow dash: "Hey get back here!" He heard the pegasus yell at him. She's catching up but not fast enough. Going faster he grinned, but she quickly caught up both going full speed now Snow was to focused on the pegasus next to him causing his flame cloak to fade. Rainbow looked at him and gasped, his wings were different then her own of any pegasus to be exact and he had claws but most of all she thought. I'm not chasing some bird? Rainbow dash: "Hey who are you!" She yelled at him as he made a flip going down she changed direction to fallow him but then he flew forward spinning. his blue flame firing from his wingtips making a spiral. She slowed to avoid the fire, there was his chance he flew forward with all he had speeding past Rainbow she chased him but an explosion of blue fire shot forth. After re-gaining her eyesight she shot forward looking for him Snow looked up as the rainbow maned mare flew off. He had dropped to the ground using the explosion as a decoy. He turned around and walked away. She almost had me good thing i have been working on that one. He thought proudly. Flutershy: "Squeak." Snow Shard: "Huh?" Snow looked down to see the cream colored pegasus from before Snow Shard: "But..but..we..were..how did, you catch up?!" Flutershy: "What? OH my, i'm sorry i didn't mean to bump in to you like that. Oh, are you that pony that Rainbow dash was chasing?" Snow Shard: "Yes i am who are you. And Rainbow dash is her name huh?" Flutershy: "Oh um i'm sorry my n..name is Fluttershy, and that was my friend Rainbow dash." Snow Shard: "Fluttershy huh? Well you live up to it." Flutershy: "Huh?" Snow Shard: "Nothing, so why are you here? Fluttershy." Flutershy: "Oh um my friends were chasing you but i, got lost." Snow Shard: "Oh." So it was pure luck? you are like super lucky. Snow Shard: "Well i guess i will be going i need a new house now, again." Flutershy: "Oh wait please." Snow Shard: "What?" Flutershy: "My friends really seem to want to meet you, would you if it's not too much trouble, consider coming to meet them." And as she said that she walked over and looked up at him with huge. Eyes she was so cute Snow felt his hart cry. Snow Shard: "Ugh fine." Flutershy: "Yay." She said with the cutest and happiest look. Snow fallowed her while making a mental note to hug her at some point. Applejack: "Were is it?" Applejack asked an angry looking Rainbow dash. Rainbow dash: "He got away." She said angrily. Applejack: "From you?" Rainbow dash: "Yes!" Applejack: "Ha ha first one to get away huh?" Rainbow dash: "Oh shut up!" Fluttershy walked over to her friends with a smile Flutershy: "Girls I-" Rainbow dash: "Not now Fluttershy we need a plain." Rainbow stated. Applejack: "Right." said Applejack. Applejack: "Twi can you use that spell again?" Twilight: "It only works in a 1 mile radius and i can't just keep using it all over the forest." Flutershy: "Um girls." Applejack: "Ok i can see if Winona can pick him up again." Flutershy: "Um girls-" Rarity: "Whatever gets us out of this forest the fastest is fine with me." Rarity whined. Snow shard stepped next to the cream pegasus Snow Shard: "I got this." He spread his wings and let out a burst of blue flame that lit the area at the same time Twilight, Rainbow dash, Applejack, and Rarity let a Applejack, Twilight, andRarity: "AHH!" Fluttershy cleared her throat Flutershy: "I found him." Rainbow dash: "Buh...but h..HOW i, couldn't catch him."dash said stunned. Flutershy: "I just ran in to him." Twilight interrupted Twilight: "More importunately who or what is he."said Twilight eyeing Snow Shard Flutershy: "I'm afraid i don't know that." Fluttershy told Twilight. Rainbow was still sulking by a tree when Applejack said Applejack: "Well we could just ask him." Flutershy: "Oh good idea um who and what are you?" Fluttershy said hiding her face behind her mane. Rainbow then came back from her gloom and said Rainbow dash: "Yeah who are you!" Snow smiled as he started Snow Shard: "Well first, faster then you." Rainbow grunted. Snow Shard: "Well what do you want to know?" Twilight spoke first Twilight: "What is you name. I'm Twilight Sparkle this is Applejack." Applejack: "Howdy." Twilight: "This is Rarity." Rarity: "Hello there dear." Twilight: "This is Rainbow dash. Rainbow dash: " "Yeah hi." Rainbow said unhappily Twilight: "And you've met Fluttershy." Flutershy: "Um hi." Fluttershy said with a weak smile Snow Shard: "I'm Snow Shard." Twilight: "It's nice to meet you Snow Shard." Twilight said as if meeting a new friend. Snow Shard: "Yeah you too. So obvious question why are you hunting me?"Snow asked. Twilight: "Oh that hehe well we thought you were a new species of phoenix." Snow Shard: "Well you're not totally wrong." Snow said now relaxing. Twilight: "What?" Said Twilight. Snow Shard: "I am a phoenix pony." He stated proudly. Twilight: "Phoenix pony?" Twilight asked raising an eyebrow. Snow Shard: " Yes the first of us was an alicorn his name was Lazarus. Princess Luna and Princess Celestia raise and lower the sun and moon, but King Lazarus was something far different he was the king of the three flames. He was a kind ruler and loved his ponies one time he even said he would give his life for them but all good things come to an end he was betrayed by his other half it's not just Luna that has a dark side, he fell to his darkness and became Black Blood the immortal a mighty and powerful force. He destroyed his entire kingdom in a night but with the rising of the sun so came Princess Celestia to do battle with him. Black Blood won the fight but Princess Luna stepped in before he could finish it. We don't know how but she made Black Blood waver and when he did the king took back his hold seeing his kingdom destroyed his ponies dead knowing he had done it he came through on that give his life thing he broke off his own horn and stabbed himself letting lose his power reviving his ponies but they were different they had been given the power of the three flames they became the first phoenix ponies. The three flames were heat the first flame the power to destroy all in your path or protect all before you, the second flame the flame of earth a green flame that can control the force of nature it's self, and the third flame of ice a blue flame that is so hot it freezes all. Fire phoenix ponies the power of heat have the most flame power the their flame will outlast any, the earth phoenix ponies like your earth ponies are physically stronger from berth and ice phoenix ponies are the rarest once in generation. We're faster then the others. Twilight: "Wow." Twilight said standing still. Twilight: "So were are the other phoenix ponies?" Snow Shard: "I'm the only surviving phoenix pony last of my kind the kingdom was destroyed." Snow said his voice no longer containing any trace of happiness. Twilight: "What? you're really the last of your kind how did it happen?" Snow Shard: "That i don't know." Twilight: "Do you not remember?" Snow Shard: "Something like that." Twilight: "Well if what you said is true, come with us." Snow Shard: "Why?" Twilight: "Well if your the last of your kind and your living in Everfree this place is not safe and if you die that's it for your kind." Snow Shard: "I have lived out here for years i will be fine." Twilight: "I can't just leave you here." Snow Shard: "Why not." Twilight: "Because if your the last of your race that makes you a diplomat." Snow Shard: "A what now?" Twilight: "A diplomat and that means as a citizen of Equestria and princess Celestia's student i have a duty take you to the royal palace." Snow Shard: "What?!"Snow said jumping back eyes wide. Author's Note Hope you all enjoy i wound up spending half the day on this. I have new found respect for writers. Well you asked i gave that's the history of the phoenix ponies hope you liked it. Ok made some changes thanks to an idea from Snowfyre thank you.
Frost and flame (chapter three) Cursed phoenix Frost and flame (chapter three) Cursed phoenix "no!" Snow said eyes returning to normal. "but why not, it's dangerous here don't you care about your race?" Twilight asked somewhat angrily. "hehehe" Snow laughed a strange smile crossing his face. "what?" Twilight asked now a small bit disturbed by his face. "oh nothing just, i don't really need to be in the royal palace to 'get it on' if you catch my drift" Twilight then stared at him confused until it finally hit her "oh OH! oh umm yes i see what you mean" she said blushing slightly at her realization . Rainbow holding back on laughing covered her mouth with her hooves a small giggle escaping for a moment. "w-well that's not what i, meant" Twilight said defensively. "whatever you say" Snow almost braking out in laughter at the blushing mare. "i guess you just think that the amazing student of princess Celestia can't handle returning a endangered species" he said egging her on. "NO! i-i could do it NOT that i'm going to w-with you what a mean is!" that was it Snow Shard and Rainbow Dash burst out laughing at Twilight. "nice one!" Rainbow said while still laughing, this kept up for about 2 minutes before they stopped. "ah that was fun" Snow said catching his breath. "well if your done with that" Twilight said a hint of anger in her voice. "i'd like to be a bit more professorial. ahem i Twilight Sparkle, would like to extend an official invitation to you, Snow Shard to join me and my friends in a trip to the royal palace tomorrow after i explain things to the princess" "and i Snow Shard would like to know why i should do so" he said with eyes that told her to go to hell. "well there's food, you could get a soft bed, get to meet the princess and get to see canterlot" she said with a smile. "ugh look i just don't see why i should go to all that i'm fine here not dead yet right?" he said cooling down a bit now seeing she was not luring him in to something. "but-" Twilight was cut off by Applejack "look Twi i know your doing what ya can here but we need sompony else to do it i reckon i know who too" "who?" she said now looking at AJ "in the short time we knew this guy he's out flown Rainbow, pretty much told ya ta back the hell up and made a dirty joke at ya. way ah see it we need a pro" she said with her hove on Twilight's shoulder. "who" she repeated. "her" Applejack said pointing a hove at the sky just as Twilight was about to ask, something came out of the sky landing right in front of her. "me!" Pinkie jumped out of the crater she made when landing. "hi girls! were have you all been? oh and who is that he has claws COOL! hi pony i don't know" "sup" "Pinkie?" Twilight said still trying to understand what just happened. "yeah?" "how did you" "a cannon" "i see" Twilight said still trying understand. "Pinkie that pony over there is the last of his kind so we want to take him to see the princess you need to give him a reason to go there" Applejack stated the problem "ooky doky loky" she said hoping over to Snow after some talking they were to far away for the rest to understand and Pinkie pointing at Twilight a few times they came back. "fine i will go, i guess" Snow said. Twilight had given up on trying to understand Pinkie's ways and said ok . "well then come with us" Twilight said starting off towards home. "nah" came her reply. "what"Twilight said confused. "i will meet you all at the train station tomorrow. Snow said turning to walk away. "but i thought you worked it out with him Pinkie" Twilight now looking at Pinkie "yeah but he wants to sleep here don't worry he pinkie promised" she smiled. "fine" Twilight said worried. the next day they all sat waiting at the station. "were is he" Twilight said. "look up" came a voice. sure enough he was flying above them landing he joined them. the ticket master was a bit taken back by the fact Snow had claws but only a bit he had seen stranger things. as the train ride went on Twilight could not think of anything to talk to Snow about. the others did not have such a problem as Snow talked about air tricks with Rainbow that seemed impossible to Twilight, went to the dining car to get something to eat with Applejack, talked about animals of the forest with Fluttershy, talked with Pinkie about her party's and how her mane smelled delicious and how she got the angle of the cannon right yesterday also speaking with Rarity about the color of his and any other phoenix ponies feathers. after a bit of doing nothing he sighed he then looked at Twilight "hey" "what" Twilight replied with a smile "don't let anypony brake my focus or you all might freeze to death and if you need to do so, do it carefully" "freeze to death!" Twilight said in fear "calm down calm down i'm just going to work on my control of my power like meditation but if i lose control it may get out of hove get it?" "yeah i got it" Twilight said calming herself Snow smiled then sat upright. closing his eyes he saw four balls of light and began to move them one by one. Twilight gazed at him as four balls of blue flame danced and moved around him until they stopped he then made the balls converge in to one that changed shape as if it had a will of this own taking on many forms such as a bird, a spear, a ball of spikes and even Twilight herself she liked that one a lot then it vanished and he opened his eyes. "ah that was fun" Snow said proud of his work. "that was amazing i have never seen fire control like that how did you do that" "natural power of my race" "wow do you think i could learn it?" "well maybe it would not be as easy as it is for me but your a unicorn so it's not impossible with some work" "could you show me?" "that could take years" "well can you tell me the basic of it" "sure" after 7 minutes of talking with Twilight they pulled up to the station in Canterlot, after getting off the train Twilight smiled and said "welcome to Canterlot Snow Shard" " you can call me Snow if you want" "ok Snow "Twilight smiled feeling like she has made a new friend today although she was still thinking how Snow and the princess would meet she still did not know why he was so unhappy about going to the palace. she thought about asking him but she did not want to keep the princess waiting because she was always so busy and had taken time to see them on the clam they had found an endangered species in Everfree forest so keeping her waiting was no option so against her better judgement they continued on. after getting to the palace they were stopped by the guards. "what is it" Twilight asked the guards they motioned towards Snow. "oh him he is an endangered species we are taking him to the princess" they nodded and let them by. entering the palace Twilight could feel Snow shiver behind her as they walked. soon they were in front of the princess's study as she opened the doors she felt a chill behind her she knew this from before Snow was getting ready to use his powers before she could turn to face Snow she heard a voice she knew vary well. "welcome Twilight Sparkle" "hello Princess Celestia" she said worried about what could happen when Snow entered "and hello to the rest of you as well please come in it's nice to see you all agai-" she stopped when she made eye contact with Snow Shard "it's you again" she said with concern getting up in a hurry starting to move towards Snow "stay back" he said ice now forming around him as the air became visible with frost "Snow!" Twilight said in shock and anger the princess stopped with a sad yet hurt look in her eyes "it's ok Twilight i know why he's doing that" she said looking at Snow "please i am sorry for what did just let me" she moved closer with a crackle a shot of blue flame swung in front of her forcing her to back up Twilight then saw the once blue flame flash green and back to blue "whoa there Snow mind tellin us all what the hey is goin on?" "we have met before" Celestia sadly started "i have met him once he came here to find me however there was a changeling in the palace that we had learned of, we knew it was on it's way to the throne room to find me so the doors were locked as i readied a spell to detour the changeling we heard a knock at the door and knew it was him trying to get in cloaked as a pony. we opened the door and i used the spell it worked i saw him, but he did not change back he got up and ran the spell was one of mental magics to make the target fear the caster and i was the caster we chased after him and found something we did not expect we saw the changeling dead he was cut from what looked like claws and more over he was flash frozen with what we thought was the changeling standing over it he then jumped out the window and flew off before i could do anything and here he now stands" "is that true? then Snow just let the princess take the spell off you" "he can not" "what" Twilight said confused "i can't let her near me the spell is still on me i don't blame her for anything but i can't control the mind shattering fear i have of her i'm at my limit just looking at her" he said with an angered and fearful look. "oh" Twilight said now seeing why he did not want to come here "well what if we hold you while she fix's it?" "i may kill you all" "i-i see what if princess Luna-" "i'm not going to put anypony in danger of my power killing them" "but princess Luna is an alicorn" "i don't know if she can or can't stop me i won't have her risk her life" "well there has got to be someway" "oh wait" Snow said thinking "there may be. can't believe i never thought of it" he said turning away from them walking over to a flower vase not looking at the princess he asked "is this important?" "huh? well no i guess not" "good" Snow said grabbing the vase "see you in a bit" he said they all looked at him in confusion but before anypony could move to stop him he took the vase and smashed it on his head hitting the ground with a thud Author's Note sorry this was short. again i'm not going for perfect grammar just want you to be able to read it so if that's the problem just say. oh and if VinylScratchQ1 is reading this thank you for being kind enough to offer your help but i now see this as a way to make the story my own way and take the good and bad of it but thanks. i still fear i made mistakes with this but i'm paranoid so yeah.
Frost and flame (chapter four)The black phoenixHi how ya doin? just to be sure you all understand when i use [] it's my input on what is going on in the story, most of you probably got that but just to be sure. from now on i will be doing some small things different.--but before we talk about that i wish to address something, some of you have been complaining about my grammar and while you surely have the right to think as you wish but i just don't see a reason to change much more then i have, so the new updates will [maybe] be the last if they are not to your liking then you know read something else this story is so it may be enjoyed and kill time if that's what your after i have no need nor right to force you to keep reading so comments about my grammar will be read but probably not acted upon but if you see something that looks like a spelling mistake or if you have advice about the story don't hold back i read all comments. but in a way i have to thank all who were hating on this story it made me take a look at it and finally say i put this out because it was one of the things a had come up with and i wanted to show it to anyone who wanted to look.--i will from now on be using some things to help with understanding the story such as: naming the speaker better for those long conversations for example. Darth Snow Shard: Twilight, i am your father. Twilight Skywalker: no that's impossible! Darth Snow Shard: no for real, i even got wonderbolts tickets for you and your friends. Twilight Skywalker: oh... i will also be adding more detail to the story say something if i fail. that's all enjoy the story. Ever wonder? if you have something stronger then yourself inside you?..well what if you did. *smack!* Snow Shard's body hit the clean nearly mirror-like floor of Princess Celestia's study as the shattered vase he'd broke on his head crashed to the floor as well. everypony in the room stood there in shock even the Princess was wide eyed as the five little ponies yelled out at once. "IS HE STUPID?" while pinkie sat humming to herself eyes closed and happy as always. Princess Celestia: "well, that's one way to overcome fear." she said still surprised by Snow Shard's rather drastic move. Twilight: "ummm yeah so can you fix him Princess?" Princess Celestia: "yes, yes i think so well i guess this will make things easier, in a way. this spell will not be easy to brake i wanted the one afflicted by it to stay away for a long time i will need to set him down somewhere, somewhere that is not the floor." lifting him with a levitation spell she placed the the now sleeping Snow on a nearby sofa. Twilight: "umm princess why do you have a sofa in your study?" Princess Celestia: "hmm? oh Luna likes to use this as a gaming room from time to time. i will need my full attention on Snow i shall tell the guards to be sure we are not disturbed." she then turned and walked to the door stopping in front of it she gently opened the door using her magic and poked her head out and looked to the guard on her right. Princess Celestia: "please be sure we are not disturbed and if anypony would like to see me please tell them i will meet with them as soon as i can after i finish my business here." Guard: "yes your highness." Princess Celestia: "thank you." she smiled and pulled her head back in to the room walking back to the ponies she looked at Snow. Princess Celestia: "right,we may now begin i will need to delve in to his mind to remove the spell if i am disrupted in any way it could cause severe damage to him." Twilight: "understood" the Princess nodded to Twilight and closed her eyes as her horn lit. her experience in this kind of thing let her find the spell rather quickly. the inside of everyponies mind was different the inside of Snow's was well, a blizzard not a vary strong one with green trees, no a forest of pine-trees she stepped in to the forest it then was warm the blizzard still went on but it was warm she could see though the snow flying around her clearly, in it's own way it was peaceful. she walked farther in to the forest until she saw one tree that did not look like the rest it was the same in almost all ways except it was black, jet black this was the spell, she focused her magic and made a beam that slowly started to cut through the tree. Twilight sat happily reading the Princess's book collection while Applejack and Rainbow dash stood in the corner bored as hell. Fluttershy was just peacefully siting not to far from Twilight aside from stretching her wings once or twice and looking out the window she was like a part of the room itself. amazingly Pinkie was also siting peacefully smiling and thinking about what her next party should be about and the coming party for Snow and what he might like for it her face darkened as she realized she never asked what his favorite flavor of cake was but she perked up again when she thought to herself everypony likes chocolate. Rarity was over where Snow had hit himself with a vase cleaning up the shattered parts and piecing it back together as she thought about how Snow was a stallion and had such a mare-like form more impotently she would have to get him to stand still later his feathers gave her the most amazing design ideas. the Princess was almost done cutting down the tree--good thing too she was starting to consider making a magic chainsaw--*crack* the tree came falling down and just as one bristle touched ground the tree shattered in to tiny lights then diapering. with a sigh her focus on the spell now broke away she then felt something for just a second but she felt it long enough to know, it was nothing good she hated snooping around in Snow's head but if there was even a small chance it was something that would harm her little ponies she had to take a look. before going to see she mentally apologized to Snow Shard. she walked even farther in to the forest at the center she saw something, a large black door with two chains crossing it forming an X. at the middle locking the two chains was a large bull skull with red eyes she was taken aback by the how sadistic and morbid it looked she had seen something similar to it in her own mind but not so Gothic she knew it was the door to his subconscious where his most private memory's lay she cursed at herself for doing this but she walked up to the door. a light strike from her horn was enough to brake the chains the door opened slightly then it slammed open and the bull skull on the door began to talk in a deep and echoed voice as if it was speaking down a well to her. Bull skull: "The darrrk approaches tho hath opened the seal, his eyes stained black from gazing in to the abyss and the horrors within, his body as the shadows dark color mixed with the bloods crimson beauty, he comes the dark one, he comes the messenger of death his power from only the darkness that fills his soul he is Envoyon." at that moment Celestia knew it was no door to hide his thoughts but to seal this thing and by trying to keep her ponies safe she had set it free opening her eyes in hurry she got to her hooves only to see something she knew was vary bad mystic writing was moving all over the room written in blood as Twilight attempted to make sense of it all. Applejack looked around to find what was causing it Rainbow flying above the strange text was looking for what was causing it too but she was looking to beat it up Fluttershy was also flying but she was busy being scared Rarity had jumped atop the Princess's desk while pinkie was starring at the dark text saying "ohhh ahhh." the Princess turned to Snow who was now gone at that moment they all felt something, something dark Snow was standing in the center of the room his once green and blue wings now black where they were once green and red where once blue his claws now also black his hair was now red on the left and black on the right with a small white lightning bolt down the middle his blue body now jet black except his face that was a pale blue he opened his eyes they were black all but his irises that were blood red he turned and said. Snow Shard?: " hehe hello to you all." his voice echoed as if two voices were speaking at the same time in a voice that sounded much like his normal carefree and prideful one but much more malice filled and sounded as if every word were laughing at them an evil smile came across his face as now all the strange red text that had filled the room slithered in to him his eyes turned to the Princess and he laughed before saying. Snow Shard?: "Oh hiiiiii~." the Princess still trying to figure out what was happening knew she had to keep calm Princess Celestia: "who are you? i take it your not Snow Shard." Snow Shard?: "well well so you're not a total fool yes and no i am him but i'm not him but i have a different name then him." Princess Celestia: "And what would that name be? if i might ask." she said in her calm and royal voice now trying to take control of the situation that now unfolded before her Snow Shard?: "what? do you not know it, did you not hear it before when the gate keeper spoke? well, i am Envoyon The black phoenix." at that moment the guards now realizing that something was wrong burst in to the room Gaurd1: "is everypony alright?!" Gaurd2: huh? you who are you?!" not even turning to face the guards he spoke Envoyon: "silence guard. as i was, and as a result of your, trying to keep your ponies safe you hav-" Guard2: "i said state your name!!" Envoyon: "and i said silence guard. as i was you have set my power fre-" Guard: "I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN STATE YOUR NAME!" now turning to the guard he spoke Envoyon: "oh, well you seem unwilling to silence your voice so...LET ME HELP YOU MAKE IT HEARD." then his eyes flashed red then in response the guards eyes flashed red as well then the guard began to scream but he did not sound normal he sounded like an angry ghost as he yelled Guard2: "ahhhh!! ahhh!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!"and then with a sickening crack the guards bottom jaw broke from his screams as he fell to the ground his broken jaw swinging freely. Envoyon thought it would be fun to brake his front legs as well so he did with another flash the guard hit the floor unconscious Envoyon: "HAHAHAHA that was amazing, the look on his face!" the Princess along with the other guard and the six ponies watched in surprise and horror. Envoyon now calming down from his laughing got ready to speak Envoyon: "fine then, i guess the intro is ruined in such case i shall now leave i don't like how this place feels. bye bye now" and with that his body became black smoke and diapered leaving all in the room to find out what just happened but then something more pressing came up as they realized the guard that was attacked....was dead. Author's Note hope you all like i will try to do the next one soon
Frost and flame (Chapter five) Black phoenix: blackened snowFrom this day forth, we two are one. I am you. And you are me. We are- After they had dealt with the corpse that Envoyon had left they went to the throne room to let the study be cleaned, apparently Envoyon's visit had left a lingering dark magic force and it needed to be gotten rid of before anypony could go in without protective gear. As they sat in the throne room Twilight remained silent they knew why, it was her idea to bring Snow here to the palace and now not only did it let lose some dark monster, but it had caused the death of one of the guards that had done his best to keep them safe. After a long silence the Princess chose to brake the ice. Princess Celestia: "Twilight, it was not your fault that what happened did it's my fault for not leaving his mind when i should have i promise we will find him and find out what is going on, but you all should go back to ponyvile and rest." Twilight: "o-ok." She said still confused about what had gone wrong Princess Celestia: "oh! one more thing were did you all find him before, it might help." Twilight: "we found him in Everfree forest, actually we found him kinda far in to Everfree." Twilight said now starting to think a bit. how long did he live in that place? how did he survive for the time he was there? no way he could have escaped all the dangers of the forest, something was not right but she had to get back home before she could focus on that. Upon getting back to ponyvile she returned to the library/her home to find Spike waiting for her Spike: "Twilight! your back i heard about what happened from the Princess but you need to see this" With that the young dragon ran up the steps and returned as fast as he could with something in hand, it was the feather they got from the forest the one that led them to Snow in the first place but something was odd about it, it had turned jet black just as Snow had before Twilight: "the feather, what happened?" Spike: "it changed earlier today i thought something was off about it but i never thought that it meant that Snow had transformed" Twilight: "let me see" She then lifted the feather with her magic and took a close look then she used a spell she was working on to read the feather to find out more about it her eyes snapped open as her spell finished Twilight: "magic?" Spike: "huh?" Twilight: "i feel magic on this, that means that Envoyon can use magic!?" Spike: "huh? but he's not a unicorn" Twilight: "what could this mean?" Envoyon: "Foolish Rex i told him i had self-control i only killed one pony back there" Envoyon said smiling evilly he now sat in the trees back at Everfree forest he had also undergone some, changes his size had gone up so much so he could now match Pincess Celestia in height and size he still had Snow's mare-like form but taller he was now wondering what to do. and then. ???: " no no no! line up your head and neck aim forward horn straight and fire" Envoyon: "what the hell was that" He then went to take a look as he crept through the tree tops his body began to vaporize as he became a moving black fog. he made his way towards the sound and stopped in some branches his front claws reformed out of the fog that was his body as did his head and upper-body his claws grabbed the branch as he smiled and looked over to the sound. Envoyon: "changelings eh? seems they are training, but that's a big one she must about my size hmm what did they call the big one? hm, Queen Chrysalis yes that's it that was who she is interesting, then were the hell am i near the hive? must be well no harm in watching them" Queen Chrysalis: "UGH! how hard is it to fallow my words! at this rate i will never have a new personal guard. this failure, no, the simple fact i even thought about letting you all be MY guard what was i thinking" Envoyon: "you were thinking when you chose those fools? Queen Chrysalis: "apparently not i should- wait who said that? show yourself!" Envoyon: "sure" Envoyon laughed as he jumped out the trees landing right in front of Chrysalis. he smiled as he stood face to face with her she took a moment to look at him his black inky body and red and black hair as he looked at her as well she then looked in to his eyes glaring at him as she thought. he looks strange i should get ready to fight as needed. As he thought. ohhh she's kinda hot for a changeling. He laughed with his thought. Queen Chrysalis: " i am Quen Chrysalis ruler of the changelings who are you strange, thing hmm you do look like a pony, well, a bit" Envoyon: " well yes kind of. and i am Envoyon the black phoenix" He said with a wicked smile. Queen Chrysalis: "never heard of you" Envoyon: "i'd be surprised if you had" Queen Chrysalis: "what is that suppose to mean?" She said angrily. Envoyon: "just what i said" Queen Chrysalis: "you are quite disrespectful it would be a shame if someone were to beat that out of you" She said now closing her gaze getting annoyed. Envoyon: "it would be huh? to bad we may never find out" He said arrogantly. Queen Chrysalis: "yes well, we shall see" She said turning to walk past the three changelings she had been training. Queen Chrysalis: "this, what ever he is. has disrespected your queen will you do nothing?" The three looked at each other, then glared at Envoyon. his smile grew bigger as he realized the situation. his eyes now had none of the calm arrogant being he was before, now a clear lust for blood shown through. his red eyes now looked like a portal to hell he looked at the changelings with an evil happiness the changelings now saw they had gotten in to something bad but didn't let it stop them Queen Chrysalis: "now go. go and defend you queen" they readied as one jumped his mind was shattered by the cry of Envoyon. Envoyon: "COME TO ME FOOL!" With that before the changeling could even react Envoyon was face to face with him then a green flame came forth from his torso and swallowed the changeling whole in to it's burning depths. Envoyon: "The fourth flame, the flame of death this is my power!." He turned his gaze to the other changelings and a ball of green flame came to life in front of him he then raised it and in an instant it went flying at them leaving a trail of flame. as it struck one of them in the face he did not let out a single sound as instantly his exoskeleton burned in to nothing. where as normally it would leave nothing but the bone left he turned to the last one who was trying to hide in a tree. he glared at it and it set ablaze and he laughed as he burned the tree down. he then turned to Chrysalis who was watching now interested in what was going on before her. Envoyon was then consumed by green flame that diapered then reappeared before her, she was not expecting this and made an attempt to jump back her attempt was met with something even more unexpected he moved forward locking his muzzle with her's she was stunned by the complete insanity that this monster had caused as his tongue found it's way in to her mouth pulling at her own and even stroking it once or twice it stroked the roof of her mouth before he then pulled back. she shook her head in an attempt to make sense of it all. as he said. Envoyon: "bye bye Chrysyyyy~" he then jumped backwards in to the air and once again became a black fog. Chrysalis: "bye" she said under her breath Author's Note i made this while listening to some awesome music if you've ever heard the Dead Space 3 credits theme you know what it is. i kept the. Name: "dialog" thing i don't know why but it just seems better with me you know? but thanks on everything else Snowfyre. once again hope you all enjoy the story and i shall explain the green flame and what Envoyon really is later in the story when the time seems right
(Chapter six) Black phoenix: The flame of the dead-A monster. A ghost. A curse. And as such we shall be- Envoyon: "Hey, heyyyy, hello? Hey you alive?" Rainbow dash: "Uhhhh huh? huh? huh?! why, what where!! who?!" Envoyon: "Oh just me, Envoyon. you remember me? yeah, how could you forget the awesome Envoyon!" Rainbow opened her eyes to see the dark phoenix pony standing not too far grinning at her. She looked around to get her barrings back, she was in a cave lit with torches, meaning she was ether deep in the cave or it was night. She was hovering above the ground in a sphere of red magic energy and had no clue what happened or why she was here so the most open option was to keep cool and trick him in to telling her what happened. Envoyon: "So want to know what happened where you are and why?" well that's one way.Rainbow thought to herself in confusion. Rainbow dash: "Um yeah." She said trying to find some ground to stand on in this ball of energy. With a flash of Envoyon's eyes the ball expanded and a floor of the same energy formed below her. She took a good look at it before landing on the patch of floor glaring at him as he sat there. Rainbow dash: "I'm watching you." She said with a cautious tone. Envoyon: "What ever makes you feel better. i got your name when i kidnapped you, so i will just call you Rainbow for now. that ok with you Rainbow?" Rainbow dash: "No." Envoyon: "Perfect, Rainbow it is then." Rainbow dash: "Damn you." Envoyon: "Well then. Let me tell you a story of the vault and- umm oops wrong story i mean." A cloud of black smoke appeared from seemingly nowhere as Envoyon stepped out of it and smiled he now found himself in a field outside ponyvile past sweet apple acres. The field was full of soft grass the wind blew past him gently and the grass slowly moved back and forth as did the white and blue followers that dotted the field he relaxed as he thought I may need to see that changeling again sometime. But more importantly i need to deal with the six elements they could be a problem if i run in to them. He then had an idea. Kidnapping! kidnapping never fails but which one to take he then felt somepony coming and ran in to the bushes. A rainbow maned pegasus flew by heading somewhere. That works he thought. he then became a black smoke again and fallowed her from the shadows staying out of sight as best he could until they reached a small cottage with a lot animals Envoyon: "What the hell? Where is this place and who has this many animals?" He watched the pegasus as she walked up to the door and knocked, a moment later a yellow pegasus with a pink mane came to the door and opened it Rainbow dash: "Hey Flutershy i'm here to help you fix the bird nests where do i start?" Flutershy: "Thank you Rainbow it's just that, for some reason a lot of nests have been knocked down somehow." Envoyon then remembered that he had taken down the nests with that blast of wind he did when he was testing his power yesterday Oops he thought. Rainbow dash: "Yeah no problem." Rainbow smiled at her. Flutershy then gave her the tools for the job and got a second pair for herself they then set off they went to where the nests were hit and got to work. sure Rainbow might not be as good at making nests as Rarity but she could do almost anything with some glue and duck tape Flutershy was amazed with her skill with duck tape. after a few nests Rainbow saw one farther in she called to Flutershy Rainbow dash: "Hey, i'm gonna go fix that one." Flutershy: "Ok be careful." Rainbow flew out to the nest and got to work there were 4 cracks in the nest that she glued up quick and returned to find an unconscious Flutershy and before she could react a strange spell hit her and she pasted out. Envoyon: "And that is how you got here don't worry your friend is fine she's probably awake by now and trying to find you, but she will fail." Rainbow dash: "Well i'm not worried my friends will find me." She said with a confident smile. Envoyon: "That so? thanks for the tip, now i can just hit six birds with one stone. And i know just how to do this, actually i will make it easy for them. now to go set the trap." With that he closed his eyes then slammed them open he smiled and then his eyes flashed as he and Rainbow vanished. Twilight was at Flutershy's cottage she had been told of Rainbow's kidnapping and had assembled the others as she attempted to find the magic energy of the one who took her. Just then she found it, she was familiar with it as well it was Envoyon Twilight: "I found them but, the one who took her was Envoyon." They looked at each other thinking for a moment then they all agreed it had to be done they could not leave Rainbow. Before going Twilight got the elements from her home just in case and they set out in to everfree from the cottage. they did not need to go that far before Twilight could feel where Envoyon was. they stopped in a clearing a large field in everfree this was not normal not in everfree. then they saw Rainbow in the sphere of energy in the center of the field and ran to her Twilight then realized halfway this...was a trap. Rainbow opened her eyes she was in the middle of a field Rainbow dash: "Where are we!" Envoyon: "Everfree." Rainbow dash: "Huh? but everfree is all dark and gloomy." Envoyon: "What if i told you that there is a way to reverse that?" Rainbow dash: "What?" Envoyon: "Awww your so cute when your surprised." She just glared at him before he vanished. After i minute or so her friends showed up she smiled at them she knew they would come and they ran to her but then Envoyon appeared behind them. He chose his targets. With a flash he grabbed Applejack's tail and the two of them were gone were gone he then appeared next to the still trapped Rainbow and his claw lit with a red energy that rendered Applejack unconscious in a second he threw her down beside Rainbow as she gave her best effort to brake the sphere that caged her trying to save her friend Envoyon: "Hey there." Twilight: "What did you do!" Envoyon: "Piff she's not dead" Twilight: "Let them go!" Envoyon: "No i'm no fool you need all six to use the elements and i have two. As it stands without the elements you can't beat me so right now i could kill you all--the Princess would try to kill me--but i could i'm going to take the two of them so you can't take me out." Twilight: "Hold on! wait" Envoyon: "What?" Twilight: " What can i do to make you leave them in peace." Envoyon: "Hmm. oh! one sec" His eyes flashed again applejack's hooves were tied up good in a red magic bonding just in time too she was waking up. She opened her eyes and saw what was going on Twilight motioned to her that it was ok and she calmed down a bit Envoyon: "Your friends in exchange for you is good i just need one." Twilight: "fine." She walked over to him and he threw her friends over to the others as he dispelled Rainbow's sphere and Applejack's bonds Twilight then summoned up her courage and magic as she magically transported to her friends and placed the elements on them Twilight: "NOW!" Envoyon: "HATREDS CURSE"As they readied the beam Twilight saw all light drain from the area in to Envoyon until nothing but dark was left Envoyon now stood in a black nothingness as he glowed brightly blood red. As they fired he did the same a beam of red energy came from his head the two beams crashed together making an orb in the center of the collision shining and flashing all sorts of colors until Envoyon said Envoyon: "I hate you.....I STILL HATE YOU REX." With that his power blasted forth not having to use the elements this long before the six ponies had run low on steam and his powerful burst struck through scattering the six as the light returned to the field Twilight looked up and saw Envoyon grab her head as they vanished in to thin air the others just lay asleep. Twilight woke up to find herself in a cage an old one she was in some sort of ruins a throne room it was destroyed the roof was gone and the columns that once decorated the path to the throne had cracked and broken with age the marble floor had suffered the same fate and the rug leading up to the throne had dried out and become matted and shaggy the throne it's self the fabric had gone with the rug and was dried up and shaggy and was ripped in different places the frame of the throne was made of gold so for the most part it was fine besides some dirt and dust. Twilight began to think how did Envoyon use such a powerful thing without expending too much power such a spell would drain even the Princess, then it hit her she saw something she had been missing and it made her shiver in fear and confusion in front of the throne Envoyon lay on the ground on-longer breathing Twilight gasped as she said Twilight: "h-he's dead." Envoyon:"i'm * cough* i'm not.....dead." She held back her scream as he rose up coughing up blood as his breathing returned Envoyon: " at....at least not for good."

(Chapter seven) Black phoenix: The demon and the phoenix (Chapter seven) Black phoenix: The demon and the phoenix -death Twilight watched in both amazement and horror as Envoyon got up from the floor in front of the throne and walked like some kind of zombie up to the throne and took a seat. She was wondering before how he had cast a spell so powerful it could defeat the elements of harmony with such ease but she now saw the power had taken a mighty toll on him soo much so that it had seemingly killed him So now, how in the name of the royal sisters did he get back up after his death? She looked as he turned to her. Envoyon: " I thought...you would be asleep...for a bit longer." He said trying as hard as he could to catch his breath looking as if he could die once more at any second in fact, she could defeat him in his current state but there was the fact that she was in a cage--that held up amazingly well for it's age--and she would risk killing him in this state. After gathering her thoughts she spoke. Twilight: "Well, i have some questions for you." She said sternly. Envoyon: "And i care?" He said jokingly. Twilight: "Well it seems i hold the upper hove right now should i make a move." She said hoping he would not see through her bluff. Envoyon: "Point taken, even you could kill me easily right now huh?" He said with a weary smile. Twilight: "First how are you not dead right now?" Envoyon: "Well i saw that coming. You see i am what you may call a shadow god, or rather THE shadow god and as such i don't stay dead i just revive and to tell the truth it hurts more and more every time, the feeling of every organ in your body beating back to life, your lungs gasping and clawing for breath there are things that can kill me don't get me wrong but i'm not going to tell you. But that aside i was summoned into existence to protect the phoenix pony kingdom oh and if your wondering how that went take a look around your in the throne room of the phoenix pony king Rex." he said grabbing the right side of his face with his right caws to shield his eye from the light for a moment his head was hurting bad he was unable to see straight before but now it was all returning to him he was almost healed now but he thought he would let the unicorn ask one more question.. Twilight: "What? but you said this place was destroyed." Envoyon: "What? i said no such thing." he said a tad confused. Twilight: "When we first met." Envoyon: "Huh? oh! ha ha HA HA HA HA! you think i'm Snow?"he said as if she had just made a joke. Twilight: "Y-you are right?" Envoyon: "Yes and no, we share this body. Let me explain, you see phoenix ponies are not unicorns they can't do magic summoning but they can use potion magic to change a life already in progress, what happened was the potion to make me was made by the king himself and drank by the strongest warrior in the palace at the kings order when they were lucky enough that she was pregnant and willing. Her name was, Spark Shard she was a fire phoenix pony and naturally orange because she was female she had crimson eyes and yellow claws and red wings her long flowing mane was also orange and her mark was downward facing sword with a dragon circle around it she was the strongest of the warriors her flame was mighty and her mind quick but one day she met her match the earth phoenix pony Fable Wind, he was an earth phoenix pony so he was green with emerald wings and brown claws he had blue eyes his mane was short and shaggy and his mark was hammer held by vines he too was a mighty warrior maybe the only one who could defeat her they were the two strongest in all the kingdom and when the king caught wind they were expecting a foal he got to work. And it was a success the foal was born and named Snow Shard the two parents were overjoyed they had a foal and to add he was the first frozen phoenix pony in over one-hundred years it was an amazing thing that had all of the kingdom in a uproar they were not only the mightiest warriors of the kingdom but they had brought life to the second frozen phoenix pony since twenty years after the fail of king Lazarus. But the king did not expect that he would be born, he thought it would be the demon he called so he of course did not tell the two lovers that he really gave them the potion to kill their foal and make this demon. He thought he had failed but then after two years he got word that that Snow Shard had been talking to something that was not there speaking to seemingly nothing the mother and father were worried they thought the king would know because of the potion he had gave her that she thought was to make him strong he then made a visit to the their house after ordering the lovers to go and slay a hydra that had come up at the main gate as a decoy. He inspected the foal after telling Snow Shard it was no more then a health check up, he spent hours trying to find any sign of the monster in the end he failed, and in his rage ordered the murder of the foal he stepped out to calm him self when he returned the guards ordered to kill the foal were dead, torn apart and in place of the foal stood a black and red phoenix pony larger then himself it towered over him, the monster did not like him but it could not ignore that he given him life so it served as the guardian demon of the kingdom in secret for twenty-three years and it's name was Envoyon." Twilight: "..Wow so um what happened to the kingdom?" She said in shock trying to understand how she got here, what Envoyon was, and what could have happened after the events of the story she just heard. Envoyon: "Well i could tell you but i have now regained my power so that was your last question for today." he said a smile cracking across his face as Twilight now shrunk from the demon at his full power Envoyon: "Worry not i don't plan to kill you or anything i just need to be sure you don't rejoin your friends that way you can't catch me your free to move about this room as you wish but no farther i have a food supply for you there." He said pointing to a bag of vegetables and fruit and next to it was a pool of clean water in the corner of the room she thought to be her water he forgot to mention. Twilight: "Is that water for me?" She asked looking at it. Envoyon: "Hmm? oh yes it is...in fact." He got off the throne and walked over to it his claw glowed red and he began to cut at the ground in front of it when he was done she looked over and felt as if he was making fun of her as he had carved Twilight in the ground to show it was her's like she was a dog. Envoyon; "There." He said smiling then his eyes flashed red and the cage opened Twilight walked out still glaring at him just then it hit her Twilight: "Were my element headdress?" Envoyon: "I will keep that for now." He said walking to the large door. Twilight: "Were are you going?" She said worried about what he might do to her friends or anypony he comes in contact with. Envoyon: "To do whatever i want, for the first time i am...free." He said the doors closing behind him Author's Note I'm sorry it's taking so long lately inspiration is little it seems.
