My Little Pony: Frost Falls

"Twilight Sparkle, do you remember the legend I told you at the slumber party?"

Twilight Yue recalled: "The one about the Wasteland Shadow Demon?"

"Yes, I can tell you now that those are all true. Those wasteland shadow demons are sealed under the Crystal Empire."

"So what you're saying is that King Sembula is the Shadow Demon of the Wasteland, and he invaded the empire for revenge?!"

"I think so." Shuangjiang held Twilight Yue's hoof, raised his head and looked at her, "Do me a favor, Twilight Yue."

"You said, no matter what, I will do my best!"

Shuangshang finally smiled for the first time in so many days: "Thank you. I need you and your friends to hold a crystal exhibition——"

Shining Armor heard this and said: "Wait a minute, don't we need to understand the situation with the Crystal Ponies first? How can the empire protect itself without your magic?"

"No, there's no pony here who knows more about the Crystal Empire than I do."

Shining Armor was stunned, obviously she didn't expect this aspect, yes, this is Frost's home, who else knows it better than herself?

It seems that he has been paying close attention to King Sembula's movements in the past few days, and he has not had a good rest, and his head is confused.

"And even if you ask them now, probably not many of them will remember it."

With Sembula's temper, since he ruled the empire, how could he leave behind memories that could threaten his rule.

Even the crystal heart was hidden by him.

Shuangjiao mocked and struggled to stand up. Casting magic had consumed too much of her energy. Upon seeing this, Twilight Yue quickly supported her.

Shuangjiang brought Twilight to the window of the castle and pointed to a tall building not far away.

On the spire of the building was a deep purple flag, embroidered with a bright white ice crystal. It looked like... Twilight Yue silently turned her eyes back to Shuangsheng. Isn't it the cute symbol of Shuangsheng.

"That's the library of the Empire. There should be a book on the third bookshelf in the second row on the right after entering, called "The History of the Crystal Empire." There are records about the Crystal Exhibition and the requirements. what to prepare."

"However, I don't remember if the book is still there. You'd better ask the librarian first when you get there."

Twilight nodded: "Well, that's no problem. Just follow the book, right?"

After hearing this, Rainbow Dash couldn't wait to fly out: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's act quickly!"

The next second, Applejack grabbed her tail so quickly that she almost fell off: "Wait a minute! The princess still has something to say—"

Twilight Yue lowered her head and asked, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

At this moment, Shuang Jiang became more depressed visibly. She could feel her magic power draining away at a faster pace, and she almost didn't have the strength to speak.

"Twilight, the Crystal Exhibition is the second most important thing. The most important thing is the Crystal Love. Only by finding everything about the Crystal Love can there be hope..."

"Okay, I'll find it!"

After helping Frostbite back to the throne and leaning against Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle headed to the library with her friends without stopping.

On the way, Zhenqi said excitedly as if she had just come to her senses: "Twilight, did you hear that? Crystal ponies, ponies made of crystal! When they shake their manes, a colorful rainbow will light up, sparkling!"

Rainbow Dash said dissatisfied: "Okay Rarity, we are here to help Twilight Sparkle, not to see the scenery!"

Zhenqi: "Sorry - but the crystal is really beautiful!"

Rainbow Dash flew forward speechlessly, refusing to interact with the pony anymore.

The ponies ran all the way and soon arrived at the library they saw earlier. At the entrance of the library are two lifelike crystal griffons, extremely majestic.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a white-haired pony holding a cart and organizing books.

Twilight Yue stepped forward: "Hello, we would like to borrow a book, "The History of the Crystal Empire"."

The administrator didn't expect that a pony would come to borrow books at this time. He adjusted his glasses and said, "We have a lot of books here... I'm sorry, which one did you just say you wanted to borrow?"

"The History of the Crystal Empire."

The administrator thought for a while and was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't react: "Sorry, I don't seem to remember - by the way, do I really work here?"

Twilight sighed: "Forget it, let's look for it ourselves. Thank you."

"Please tell me if you find it!" After saying that, the administrator fell into self-doubt and walked away talking to himself.

Twilight Yue thought that this was probably a sequelae of the curse. Not only was the color of her coat no longer crystal clear, but her past life was almost being denied.

Seeing as the caretaker pony's cutie mark is a scroll, she must be working here and now she's suffering from self-doubt.

Zi Yue didn't think too much and went to the place Shuang Sheng mentioned to look for it.

Finding that the book was indeed gone, the friends spread out to look for it.

Finally, I found it on a bookshelf next to the one Shuangsheng mentioned.

Twilight opened the book and started reading, and her friends gathered around her: "Exhibition, exhibition... we have it! The Crystal Exhibition - started by the first queen of the empire, has become their most important tradition since then. The exhibition is held every year Once, to inspire the spirit of love and unity among the citizens of the empire to help them resist aggression. Yes, this is it!"

Applejack asked, "That sounds promising, but is this the Fair that Frostfell is talking about?"

"It should be it." Twilight turned the book to the last page with a splash. There was a page missing at the end of the book, but it didn't matter. "There is a mention of a crystal heart as the centerpiece of the exhibition."

Now that the guidance guide is available, let them officially start taking action!

The book says that the crystal ponies like to joust, their flags are colorful, crystal berries are used to make sweets, there are lambs running in the zoo, and there is a crystal empire hymn...

These are the history and traditions of Shuangjian's hometown, especially the hymn, which Twilight learns very seriously.

The friends divided the work and cooperated, each responsible for what they were good at, and the efficiency was very high. The crystal exhibition was ready that afternoon.

In this case, Twilight decided to open an exhibition first and then look for the crystal heart.

-

Both Frostfall and Princess Cadence arrived on the castle terrace.

After confirming that all the important ponies were present, Twilight gave a signal, and Pinkie Pie immediately blew her favorite crystal cornet.

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the Empire and could be heard by all the Crystal Ponies.

The crystal ponies who had been staying behind closed doors opened the door in unison, looked at each other, and then looked toward the top of the castle, where a group of ponies stood.

At this moment, Crystal Pony has a question in her mind: Who is that?

Although they didn't know the answer, they still followed their hearts and went to the bottom of the castle, as if they would regret it if they didn't go.

When we arrived at the bottom of the castle, we found that the place was full of decorations and there were many stalls - food stalls selling crystal corn on the cob, crystal berry pie and nectar wine, and traditional handicrafts selling woven ornaments, hats and small vases. There are craft stalls and various stalls.

The long-lost imperial flag flew high again.

Seeing that the Crystal Ponies were almost gathered, Twilight Cleared her throat and announced loudly: "Everyone, listen! Princess Cadence and Princess Frostfall sincerely invite you to come to the Crystal Expo!"

"Crystal Exhibition, is she talking about the Crystal Exhibition?"

"I thought I heard her say Princess Frostfall just now?"

"Is the princess back? Great..."

"Crystal Exhibition, so great..."

The Crystal Ponies were discussing in low voices. At that moment, their fur became smoother and brighter, and they were finally not as lifeless as before.

Shuang Jiang felt relieved. Unfortunately, they were not in the most beautiful crystal form in his memory.

Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie happily high-fived. The crystal ponies below seemed to like the exhibition, and I think they did a good job.

The next step is to find the crystal heart.

But... Twilight felt a little uneasy when she saw Frost's shaky state, and tentatively asked, "How about I ask Applejack and the others to find the crystal heart, and I'll stay here with you—"

Unexpectedly, Shuangsheng refused.

She really liked staying with Twilight Yue, but Twilight Yue obviously had more important things at the moment.

"Didn't you say that protecting the Crystal Empire is a test given to you by the Princess of the Universe? As long as you find the Crystal Heart, you will pass the test."

"But……"

You need me more.

Before Twilight Yue could finish her words, something unexpected happened the next moment, and King Sembula launched another fierce attack outside the empire's barrier.

Princess Yinyun suddenly couldn't hold on and fell down, her magic dissipated instantly.

Shining Armor caught her and said with a pale face: "Twilight Joy..."

Twilight looked back and saw that without Princess Yinyun's magic, half of the empire's protective force field disappeared in an instant!

The black fog in the wind and snow eroded in along the edge, and Frost's face suddenly showed a painful look.

In the black mist, a deep voice murmured to himself: "Princess Crystal..."
