Chapter 3

Where Secrets Lie

The Elements of Harmony, Spike and their guide Art Blueprint were on their way to the Crystal Empire unbeknownst to them they were being followed by Queen Chrysalis's Changeling spies. Then finally they arrived at the Crystal Empire and once they were off the train Art Blueprint said "We need to hurry and once we are out of the Empire I will tell you how the Elements of Harmony came to be."

Rainbow Dash then asked "How the hell do you know that if the even the princesses don't know that?"

"I will tell you everything you want to know about the Elements of Harmony once we get to a safe place that I know of."

Twilight responded by saying "Ok Art Blueprint but first can I ask you a question?"

"Of course your highness what is it?"

"I was just wondering where is this safe place we are going to?"

"I was wondering when you were going to ask that, and it is my hometown."

Pinkie Pie then said while bouncing "Wow we get to not only learn how the Elements of Harmony were created but we also get to see your home, cool."

"I guess you could say that. Now we should keep moving forward we don't want to stop now for there are creatures here who feed off the fear of others."

Meanwhile with the Changeling spies

Once one of the spies saw them a message was immediately sent to Chrysalis.

Meanwhile with Prince Necro

Once the message arrived Chrysalis told Tirek and Prince Necro. He said "Now the time is coming soon for me to spread deceit amongst them." then they all shared an evil laugh together.

Meanwhile with Art Blueprint

The group had just left the Crystal Empire and when the Empire was out of sight an image of Prince Necro suddenly appeared in front of them and the image said "Why hello my old friend Art."

Art replies by asking "What do you want Necro?"

"Who me I just came to ask you if you had told them about your little secret spell that you made, by overloading it with magic?"

Twilight responds to his question by asking "Art Blueprint what is he talking about?"

"Ah so you haven't told them yet, Elements of Harmony let me tell you all something there is more to your guide than you know, so heed my words the one who you need the most to stop me is going to be your downfall. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Then the image of him disappeared and they were left in the snow filled forest alone in the silence, then Rainbow Dash said while pointing a hoof at Art Blueprint and getting up into his face "What was he talking about, and what did he mean by saying that there's more to than we know, care to explain Art Blueprint if that is your real name."

Art merely responded by saying "Of course it's my real name, I was hoping to keep this a secret for a little longer but I guess it's pointless now, please don't be scared or angry at me because of this." Then he changed into his dragon form Striker, they were originally scared when the transformation started but then they calmed down.

Twilight then said in a comforting voice "Art Blueprint we could never be angry at you for keeping this secret from us because I understand that it was hard for you to know whether or not we would keep it a secret, because we just met each other."

"Thank you for your understanding also in this form my name is Striker and now to show you the spell" he pulls out the spell he made a shows them "So do any of you want me to do the spell on you also it may feel a little wired at first it is also able to give a dragon that doesn't have wings, wings. DISCORD!" he yells. Then suddenly the Lord of Chaos appears in front of them.

Discord then says "Yes what is it Striker."

"I just thought you might want to know that I am willing to give Spike his wings."

"I guess it's about time he gets his wings."

At that moment Spike says "Awesome I would love to have wings."

"Princess I just want to let you know that whether or not Spike wishes for me to give him his wings is entirely up to him understand."

Twilight answers with "I fully understand that the choice is entirely up to him."

Discord then said "Good now that, that is decided let's get this done and over with."

Striker then walks up to him and says "Spike do you want to have wings to be able to fly and to soar."

"Yes, I want wings."

"Good now prepare yourself." and with that he starts to perform the spell on Spike. Then suddenly both Spike and Striker start to float in the air above them, and as he finishes the spell they float back down to the earth. Then they notice that Spike is a little bigger than he was before and it is at that moment they notice Spike has another two limbs, and they are his wings. But just then as Discord is measuring Striker's magic he finds a shred of dark magic wedged deep inside him and he is debating on whether or not he should tell them, finally he decides to not tell them about the dark shred. Striker then says "I think that we should get going to my hometown it will soon be dark and we don't want to be here when it gets dark." with that said he changed back into Art Blueprint and they were on their way, but Twilight and her friends were still a little confused about what Prince Necro had said "Elements of Harmony let me tell you all something there is more to your guide than you know, so heed my words the one who you need the most to stop me is going to be your downfall. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" what did he mean by that?
