Nothing here belongs to me, just the ice realm and the pirates ponies. The story is semi-AU of my other fics.

An unusual dream awakens two princesses. One, having already gone through many adventures and troubles, preparing herself for the worst. The other, having grown in her frozen world, prepares to flee and know the rest of Equestria. When a real meeting in the Crystal Empire takes the two to meet for the first time, and the floating ship of Captain Black Eye returns to Equestria, the two princesses are about to discover a secret about their lives and the Mane 6, Spike, Discord and the CMC will embark with their new friend in a new adventure for cold valleys and heat deserts, against pirate ponies and changelings, to recover the mysterious Eye of the Dragon and the seven parts of the Diamond of Destiny, before it falling on the wrong hooves. Wecome to My Little Pony: Sisterhood is Magic

"Are you sure?" asked a pony in the dark.

He and his partner were hiding, watching a house in the city of Canterlot.

He was a blue pegasus stalion, black mane, almost completely hidden beneath a red bandana. His Cutie Mark were two crossed swords and he had a black mark around his left eye.

"Absolute. I trust my compass." The other pony replied.

If we could call her pony. At first she appeared to be an orange unicorn, but she had paws with claws, an arrow tiped dragon tail and thorns along it, and also dragon wings. Her sapphire blue mane seemed ablaze and her Cutie Mark was a skull engulfed in flames.

"Not with your compass that I'm worried. It's your visions."

"Have I ever fooled you, Capitain Black Eye?" She asked.

He denied. Would give a vote of confidence for Blood Claws, she had always been a loyal and sincere helper, even having the power to take control.

The scene changed to a cave, where a group of ponies slept around a campfire. Further down were the same two ponies before.

"Saw something good this time?" Black Eye asked. "Last time I followed one of your visions and your compass, we were almost captured and the mission was a failure."

"It wasn't my fault. It was you who took the route inside the land of eternal ice." Blood Claws protested. "But it was inevitable that happen. Now we have a chance to correct our mistake. We leave in the morning if it's okay to you, capitain."

In two very distant places two ponies wake up.

One of them, a young silver alicorn, ice-blue mane with a single pure white streak and a snowflake, surrounded by five small ice crystals Cutie Mark, quickly jumped from her bed and ran out of her house.

Her house, like the other around, was an igloo, but it was the largest in the region, except the large and imposing ice castle. The landscape around her was a totally white plain, nothing in sight beyond the small village, situated in a valley between mountains that surrounded them.

The cold was intense there, but that doesn't seem to bother any of the ponies who lived there. Still, Snow Glitter shook a little with the first gust of cold air, before continuing on her way.

The dream wasn't what disturbed her, she'd had worse. But in a state between dream and waking, she saw one last image, a castle on a tree somewhere warm. A castle in a tree? Perhaps the castle were a tree... Still, it was weird. But what that meant? Where was that castle?

She looked back, trying to decide if she should go back to her warm and cozy library. It was impossible that there wouldn't be a map somewhere. But then she changed her mind. If any place had a map, this place was the office of Lord Freeze. She shouldn't go there, but felt that was important. And for some reason, ever she asked about things outside the valley he wouldn't answer.

She made her way to the castle quite lively. Was sure it was something important.

But she before could try to get to the map a guard stopped her.

"Princess Glitter, Lord Freeze wants to see you in the throne room most urgent as possible."

She nodded and flew there. She couldn't imagine what could be so urgent, but maybe it would give her some answers.

She was greeted with a reverence for the guards opened the door to enter the throne room. Lord Freeze was there, trotting from one side to the other, impatiently.

Snow bowed to the lord.

"You called me, sir?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm glad you're here, princess. I need to leave soon, in the meantime, you will be in charge of everything here." He said.

"Leaving, sir?" She looked up at him, surprised.

Freeze not even looked at the princess, continued trotting from one side to the other, looked nervous. This was visible by the snow falling lightly over him.

"It was an ancient custom, once a year there is a meeting between the snow lord and the princesses of Equestria, in the ancient Crystal Empire, the closest place we get to the hot zones of Equestria. So King Shadow took control of the empire, then it disappeared and the custom was lost. But the empire has returned, and it's time to resume the tradition. I've sent a note asking the audience, I will be leaving in half an hour."

Snow jumped up excitedly.

"An Audience with the princesses, and out of the valley? Can't I go? For end I'm also a princess."

"Yes, I know, Snow. But you're too young. Staying so long out of the valley can be dangerous for you. Maybe we should wait a year or two, okay?"

Snow gave a bored sigh.

"Yes sir."

"Besides, who will take care the valley while I'm gone?" For the first time he stopped to face her. "Don't worry, your time will come one day, you will take my place. Be patient." He smiled gently.

"Yes sir."

"Com'on my little snowflake, cheer up. It wasn't what you wanted? A little more responsibility?" Freeze floated a key to Snow. "Full access to my office. I'll be gone for four days. Take care of yourself."

With that he started to leave the hall but Snow called him back.

"I had a dream tonight."

"A dream?" He continued on his way, the princess followed.

"With a castle-tree... There was a star at the top."

"A castle in a tree? Snow, I've seen pictures of all Equestria, and I can assure you, there is nothing like what you're trying to describe. It was just a dream."

"I also dreamed some strange ponies. Black Eye and Blood Claws, if I remember right." Snow didn't gave up.

This time Freeze froze.

"What did you say?"

"You know them?"

"No. I repeat, it was just a dream, princess. Now I have to leave. Final preparations for the journey. I'll see you when I return and, if the dreams persist, then talk."

She nodded, not much choice and let the lord go, made no sense to insist. That didn't mean she was giving up. With the keys floating in front of her she smiled. Her fate was on her way.
