Flurry Heart looked around at a snowy realm around her. The sky was dark and cloudy, a snow storm. The ground was covered in snow. The princess lifted her hoof, then put it down, this was real. "Little flakes?" She asked quietly, hoping something would be her guide. Suddenly, the glowing flakes appeared. "Oh, hi. I'm so happy-" Suddenly, they zipped away. "WAIT!" Flurry creid. She used her giant wings and bolted after them, reaching them in mere seconds. She felt so alive in this snowy air. The girl decided to fly faster but the snowflakes grabbed her mane. "Oh. Okay." She sighed, being dragged away.
A few minutes later, the flakes let go of her mane and flew close to the ground. Flurry Heart landed and ran after them, until she saw them go into a icy cave. "M-maybe I shouldn't." The princess whispered. Suddenly, she heard a small sob from the cave. The flakes flew out and grabbed her mane. "Alright! I got it!" Flurry cried, walking to the cave.
What she saw in there was a small filly, she looked about Flurry Heart's age and was one of the most beautiful creatures she had ever seen. The little thing was light blue and transparent, with little snowflake running in her. She had a snow white mane and was curled in little ringlets, it was also transparent. But her most noticeable thing was she was crying. "Excuse me… Why are you crying?" Flurry Heart whispered. The other gasped and turned to her. "W-who are you?!" The creature cried, backing into the wall. "Don't be afraid! I'm here to help you, if you need it." Flurry said. The windigo put her hoof forward, or at least, what should have been a hoof. It was gone from the rest of her arm. "I'm made out of snow and air. While running with my pack, my hoof wisped away. I can't walk or go home." The thing sighed. "That sounds so sad! I have tons of magic, let me help you." Flurry said. "Okay…" The other whispered, looking unsure at the filly. The princess stepped forward and sat on the ground with the girl. Her horn glowed gold and the other girl gasped as snow and air swirled up around her. She looked up at Flurry who looked back. "Look." She whispered. The windigo saw her hoof was healed and gasped. "Oh…" Flurry Heart giggled and helped the filly up. "T-thank you…" The other said. "Of course!" The princess laughed. The little windigo ran around and giggled. Suddenly she stopped. "Wait… You're an… Alicorn." She whispered. Flurry nodded. "What's your name, girl?" The windigo asked. "Flurry Heart. What's yours?" The other asked. "You need to get out of here! You should be in the empire! If the others find you…" The windigo gasped. She suddenly grabbed Flurry Heart and pushed her towards the exit of the cave. "B-but I just got here! Wait!" The princess cried. The other kept pushing and suddenly, some snowflakes started pushing her as well. "Stop! I won't let you push me out!" Flurry Heart growled. Suddenly, she used her big wings to spring her away. "Hey!" The windigo creid. She sent snowflakes to capture the girl. Flurry Heart powered up her horn. She landed on the ground and the windigo ran to get her. Snowflakes surrounding her, but she used magic to stop the world around her. The girl found it easy for the windigo and snowflakes were made out of water and air. She slowly started stepping away, the other girl's eyes followed. "I promise I'll go back to the empire… In a bit, okay?" The windigo narrowed her eyes. "Okay!" Flurry Heart giggled, skipping away. A snowflake fell on her shield that stopped them turned to ice. Suddenly, the ice exploded and the windigo ran out and tackled the alicorn to the ground. "Hey! That's not even fair!" Flurry creid. "Is too! If you can use magic, I can too." The other growled. "But I want to stay here! Nopony understands! I just want to stay for a bit!" The princess gasped. The wendigo looked surprised and rolled off the alicorn. "If you stay with me, safe. Then I guess you can see the relm." The girl said, looking at Flurry. "Yes!" The princess cried. She lept up and ran in the snow. "Wait for me!" The windigo called.
The girls landed laughing and they looked at each other. "That polar bear scared me so bad!" Flurry Heart cried. "Not when I froze him!" Lumi laughed. Lumi was the young windigo filly and she had become very good friends with Flurry Heart. "Lumi, we will release the polar bear, right?" The princess asked. "Can you do that?" The windigo asked hesitantly. "What do you mean?" Flurry Heart whispered. "Windigo magic, my magic…. It never melts. It used to be that feuding brought windigos, but now, I don't think it matters. Only force fields can keep us out. There's no way to stop the cold, even if we wanted it to." Lumi sighed. "So that polar bear is stuck there… forever?" Flurry asked, looking shocked. "Yes." Lumi said. Flurry Heart gasped and fell back into the snow and her friend realized what she must have been thinking. "Don't be afraid! I don't want to hurt anypony! I just have to!" Lumi creid. "But why?" The princess asked. Suddenly a cold breeze picked up and Lumi gasped. "We have to go! We have to go now!" She cried, grabbing Flurry's hoof. The princess looked behind her as they ran and gasped. Behind them, in white storm clouds billowed and the girl saw a herd of transparent blue windigos that looked like older versions of Lumi, but less grand. "Run faster!" Lumi screamed over the howling wind. Suddenly they knocked into something. "The barrier!" The girls cried together. Flurry Heart was about to open the force field when, suddenly she heard a yelp. The princess turned and saw her new friend being held by a wendigo. "My, my! What a surprise, you brought us a princess!" It laughed. "Lumi! Let her go!" Flurry growled, lighting her horn. "What a feisty girl." A windigo snorted. "Just let her go!" Lumi whispered. "The queen shall be very happy with the princess from the empire… and as for you, she'll find something for you… Far more useful than controlling snowflakes." The one holding Lumi growled. The girl shuddered. "I said, let her go." Flurry growled. Just as a windigo was about to snatch her up, the barrier opened. All the alicorns but Celestia and Luna came into the realm and gasped. "My lucky day." The seemed leader of the creature laughed. Cadance moved in front of her daughters and Twilight created a shield around them. "Are you okay?!" Skyla asked, hugging her sister. The youngest alicorn pushed away. "Lumi!" She cried, pounding on the shield. "Go! Get out of here!" Lumi yelled. Cadance opened the barrier and nodded to Twilight who leapt in. Skyla grabbed Flurry's hoof and pulled her away. "LUMI!" The princess screamed, trying to kick away. Skyla threw her sister into the empire and leptin herself. Cadance went last, using her magic to block an attack.
"She's gone…" Lumi whispered. "That's right, but we'll get your precious little friend back, don't you worry." The leader laughed. The young windigo sighed and didn't resist the one holding her. She knew far too well she couldn't escape. "Goodbye Flurry Heart…" She whispered.
"What were you doing?!" Skyla screamed. Flurry Heart only stared at the space left of the barrier. "You are never leaving this kingdom again." Cadence growled. "She's not safe…" The young one whispered. "I need to help her! Lumi's in danger!" Flurry Heart cried. "That windigo girl?" Skyla gasped. "Yes! We became friends! She wanted to help me escape!" The princess said. "She's a windigo!" Cadence cried. "But-" Flurry gasped. "No. Windigos are monsters! Thier hearts are as cold as the ice they create!" Skyla growled. Her sister narrowed her eyes. "Changelings don't have hearts. They're the monsters!" She screamed. Skyla gasped. Flurry Heart ran past her to the palace. "Just like you were, as stubborn as a moon bear." Cadance whispered. Skyla only nodded. "Too much like me." She sighed.
"What do we have here?" The wing queen asked, looking down at Lumi. "I have nothing to say to you." The girl growled. "That's a pity. I always found you rather annoying. Just like your mother." The queen sighed. Lumi looked up and the queen laughed. "Silly girl, you think that she's still alive. I killed her long ago. Now tell me, what do you know of the royal welp." The queen said. "Flurry Heart is strong and brave. She cares about ponies, she'll never given to a monster like you!" Lumi said. "That little brat is always hidden behind her family's shield, she has true potential, that could be our downfall." The queen said, getting up. "If you hurt her, I will-" Lumi was stopped. "Hurt her? Why on earth would I hurt her? The girl is a alicorn, and a powerful one… If we could get that on our side…." Lumi gasped and said, "You can't! The princess will be by her friends side no matter what!" The queen chuckled darkly. "I know."
As I'm sure you guessed, Lumi is going to be a main character. Lumi is Finnish and means snow.
