Hi, guys. It's me, again. Remember, all credit for MLP: FiM goes to Hasbro, Inc.

Ch. 1 – Heading Home

Twilight Sparkle and her friends were heading to the Cutie Map because their cutie marks were glowing. They sat down on their crystal chairs. The hologram of their cutie marks flew across the Map, then stopped and floated over a forest.

"That's odd. From what I can tell, the Map is leading us past the Frozen North, but that's impossible. We would freeze to death before we get there," Twilight said, confused. A little light flashed and Discord stood on the Map, but he was small.

"I know somepony who can help you with that, my friends," Discords said amicably.

"Are you going to help us, Discord?" Fluttershy asked curiously.

"Not me, my dear Fluttershy. Black Crescent can help you guys, but only if you want him to, of course," Discord responded kindly.

"Okay, but he's in Canterlot helping Nightshade and the Princesses try to figure out a way for ponies and Changelings work together, right now," Twilight said calmly.

"I can tell him. After all, there is something more in that forest, which you'll see if you take a closer look," Discord said happily, he made a small door and walked through it, the door closing itself before being sucked in from the center and disappearing.

The girls looked at the Map curiously, seeing that in the center of the forest was a small ruined castle.

The next morning was slightly cloudy. The girls waited for the train to head to the Crystal Empire. When the train arrived, the girls got on it. It took five hours for the girls to arrive, and when they got off, they began to walk and eventually met up with Black Crescent near the Crystal Heart. He was with his marefriend, Nightshade.

"Hi, Black Crescent and Nightshade. How have you two been?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Not bad, Twilight. Things went well with the Princesses. Then, Discord told me that you guys are heading to our old home town, Avervillage. Is that true?" Black Crescent asked curiously.

"Not sure. Everything was covered in trees. All we saw was a castle," Twilight responded, unsure.

"Well, if it is, then there something I need to do when we get there," Black Crescent said sadly. He and the girls started to walk out of the Crystal Empire and into the Frozen North. Black Crescent charged his magic. "Creatures of ice and snow, protect my friends and I from the cold," he said in monotone. Windigos then started to block the icy winds.

"How did you do that? Shouldn't the Windigos only show up to freeze ponies who are arguing?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Don't you guys remember? While I was still evil, I made them, and I can control creatures that I create, like I did to Discord, so he would make sure that you guys wouldn't be able escape," Black Crescent responded sadly. They started to walk across the cold, snowy ground. When night came, they set up a camp and slept, waiting for the next morning.

Until next time. Please review or PM.
