My Little Pony: Frost Falls

"Dear Shuangsheng, my sister and I are deeply sorry for what happened to the Empire, but please don't be sad. As long as you are here, the hope of the Empire's return is still there."

"I've been searching through Canterlot's collection of books these days, but I didn't find any special records. But I remembered that there is another place, which is very close to Ponyville."

"You know - the ancient castle where Princess Moon and I once lived together is now almost in ruins. But if you search carefully, you may still be able to find the library there. I hope you can gain something."

After receiving the letter from the Princess of the Universe, Shuangsheng immediately packed up and headed to the Eternal Free Forest.

Of course, what she said to Twilight was to go for a walk and relax.

Really need to relax. These days Shuang Jiang always dreams about the Crystal Empire, his mother, the captain of the guard, and everyone in the Crystal Empire.

In the dream, there was a land of ice and snow, and the sky was extremely low. Just like now, when you look up, you will only see the ever-dark sky above the Eternal Freedom Forest, so depressing.

She still remembered the last time she entered this forest, when she met Twilight Yue and the others. Such a beautiful unicorn was the first pony that caught his eye after Frostbite woke up.

...Strange, why did she keep thinking of Twilight Yue after entering the forest.

Through a thick fog, a suspension bridge appeared in front of Frost. This was the suspension bridge leading to the ancient castle. Although it is the same as nothing to her.

The diffuse mist was really an eyesore. Shuang Dian flapped his wings vigorously, creating a strong wind that blew around him, and then he focused on looking at the castle.

First reaction - so broken!

It is really almost in ruins. Its former glory is no longer there, and none of the towers that the castle should have are left.

Look at this, the royal sisters must have fought here, otherwise how could it be like this.

But that's not what she should be concerned about.

Shuang Jiang opened the door, and a smell of pungent dust fell from the sky: "Ahem... Oh my God, this place should be cleaned up. Otherwise, who would want to come here."

After only a few steps, my whole body was covered with cobwebs, and the ground was covered with sticky dust - it had just rained two days ago, and there was also moss. Because no one had set foot there for so long, all kinds of ferns grew wildly, not only covering the outer walls of the castle, but also growing in many of the inner halls.

This provides an excellent living environment for those little things that are suitable for living in dark and humid places.

"Hey, go away!" Shuangjiang held up a branch she found from nowhere, and used magic to direct the branches to swing everywhere on her way forward.

After a while, the branches were covered with spider silk and some unknown small insects.

A spider had just been beaten away here, and in the next second there was another spider on the other side that had completed its web. Shuangshang just turned his head, and "pop--" hit the red heart.

"..." Shuangshang threw the branch, "I've had enough of you!"

The magic horn was ready to go, a brilliant silver-white halo flashed through, and hot flames spurted out, causing the spiders to scream and run away desperately. It wasn't until he ran out of the castle that he realized that he was unharmed, but the moment the flames ignited, the pain on his body didn't seem to be fake.

The spiders couldn't figure it out, but they were afraid of the irritable pony in the castle and did not dare to go back, so they had to find a place to settle down again in the trees outside.

Frost's magical flames aimed at spiders are naturally fake, but the others are real.

All the spider threads and dust on the only way were burned away. Shuang Jiang nodded with satisfaction and went straight to the castle library.

Since it is the ancient castle of the royal sisters, the layout should still be the same as before. With the meager impression in his memory, Shuangjiang flew east and west, made a long circle, and finally found the library.

As soon as I entered, tens of thousands of ancient books came into view.

"Wow - I bet, Twilight Yue must love this place!" After saying that, Shuangsheng suddenly realized, "...Am I talking to myself?"

When Shuang Sheng walked in, the books on the bookshelf were at least several hundred years old. She didn't know if she would damage them if she came in suddenly.

If Twilight comes in, she will jump into the pile of books excitedly.

...Wait, is she assimilated by Twilight Yue?

Haha, okay, this is normal. There is nothing wrong with pony and pony becoming like each other after being together for a long time.

"Hey, this is an important part of the castle, and no one else is allowed to enter or leave!"

Just as Shuangsheng was about to check the books, a pony from nowhere suddenly jumped out and stopped her. This pony is very strange, its whole body is wrapped so tightly that it can't even see its eyes. The armor on his body was also very old and tattered.

But Shuangjiang could feel a cold aura from him.

I can't help but wonder, what is this?

The pony felt that it was not enough to stop her, so he spread his hooves. The cold aura that he felt before continued to become stronger, and a black air wrapped around him, turning into a black spear on his hooves. The moment he grasped the weapon, he attacked.

"Is there any mistake?" Shuang Jiang quickly used magic to avoid this thing. She quickly flew out of the library, fearing that the books would be destroyed.

"What the hell is this, a castle guard? Why didn't Princess Universe mention it in her letter—"

Seeing that the shadow pony who was suspected to be a guard missed a hit, Shuangsheng flew into the sky again, and even used the black energy to give himself a pair of wings!

Frostbite was dumbfounded and quickly flew away to stay away from him. He chased her and flew around the castle again and again.

Not knowing the details, she didn't dare to attack rashly.

Just like that, Shuangsheng gradually felt exhausted. Not only did he have to dodge the pony's magic attacks, but he also had to be careful of the stone thorns that would appear on the castle walls at all times.

With just a blink of an eye, Shuang Sheng was caught up with her. The black magic instantly enveloped her, and she lost consciousness in an instant.

After Frost was unaware, the shadow pony stopped attacking and landed in the original library. After the fight between the two horses, the ruins of the castle became even more ruined, and it was almost impossible to look at them.

Shadow Pony found a slightly clean place to set up a magic cage, and then locked Shuangsheng inside.

He was sitting by the cage, with only a black mist in front of his eyes hidden under his armor, just looking at Shuangsheng, not knowing what he was thinking.

-

After Shuangsheng was attacked, his consciousness first became blurry, and then he regained consciousness. He didn't know where she was now, but even with his eyes closed, he could feel that the surrounding environment was very bright.

Shuangjiang opened his eyes, and there were bright crystals everywhere. In the distance, a brilliant ice-blue castle stood tall, bringing with it a majestic aura. And she is now standing under two crystal pillars.

"This is... the Crystal Empire——"

is this real? I'm home? !

Shuang Jiang looked at the beautiful scene in front of her, and her eyes became moist. This was her home, a home she had been away from for thousands of years. She almost couldn't wait to fly towards the Crystal Castle. Mother... mother must be there.

After a while, Frostbite flew to the large exhibition hall in the center of the castle. Her mother, Princess Amore, stood there, holding up the crystal heart with her unicorn magic.

It was a tall unicorn, all white, but with a pink-purple gradient mane. She wore a bindi on her forehead, and the crown on her head seemed to belong to her naturally. It is worth mentioning that Princess Amore’s cutie mark is also a beautiful ice crystal.

Downstairs, all the subjects of the Crystal Empire gathered together and looked at their princess with admiration.

"Citizens of the Crystal Empire, I hope you will always remember that no matter where you are, you must hold hope and love in your heart and run towards the light. Crystal love will always protect you!"

The crystal heart sparkles, resonating with the love and hope in the ponies' hearts, while the magic of Princess Amore slowly infuses the crystal heart, making it even more powerful.

When the light shone across the entire empire, all ponies bowed and bowed, nodding their heads to the ground, conveying the love and light in their hearts.

The crystal heart returned to its place, and the powerful magic power surged towards the crystal heart. After condensing to a certain level, it suddenly burst out through the empire. The colorful light spread and illuminated the entire Equestria!

It’s the Crystal Ceremony!

This is an ancient and sacred ceremony. Only the true ruler of the empire can pass this ceremony to transfer his magic power to the Crystal Love, making the Crystal Ponies more united and the empire stronger.

"Mom..." Shuang Jiang couldn't help but call out.

The unicorn standing on the high platform seemed to hear the call, and his eyes fell on the location of Shuangsheng. The moment they looked at each other, her heart skipped a beat, and then more sore emotions welled up, making her want to cry.

The moment the crystal heart flashed, she understood that this was just an illusion. Her power didn't resonate with it.

But even if it was a fantasy, Shuang Jiang felt very satisfied to be able to see his mother again.

"Frost, my daughter." Princess Amore spoke slowly, with deep love in her words.

Shuangjiang suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of astonishment: "...Mom, is it you?"

"Dear Shuangsheng, before I leave, I use my last magic power to seal this memory. I know that one day you will follow the guidance of fate and come back here again."

Shuangsheng could no longer control himself and stumbled into his mother's arms.

Princess Amore hugged her back, and as soon as the warm body came into contact, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Her tears kept falling, and she complained full of grievance: "Where have you been? You know I woke up and found the whole thing." How uncomfortable is it that the empire is gone? I’m so scared, everything around me is so strange, I have no relatives or friends, so what’s the point of letting me stay!”

"I know." Princess Amore hugged her and caressed her head, "I understand your fear, but Frost, do you still remember what I told you?"

"You are the heir to the empire. You must be strong at all times and have hope no matter where you are. You are the guide and the destiny. The Crystal Empire will eventually become stronger because of you. Because you are for all of us. hope!"

After hearing this, Shuangjiang raised his head sadly and felt confused: "But, why me?"
