So good reviews so far from the last chapter so! I'm going to keep on writing it seems you guys like this story! So let's stop procrastinating and get to the content!
Months passed and Crystal Bearer had her second child and to Flare's demise the child was a mare. "You are useless! I want a son!" He glared at the white pony in front of him. Her blonde hair fell on her face and her white coat stood out. Although, unlike Dragonfly the filly didn't have dragon wings which made her a little more tolerable, but Flare was still enraged by the filly.
Crystal Bearer took the filly into her hooves and held her close, "My little Gilded Shimmer. That is your name. Hi, Gilded Shimmer I'm your Mommy," she said. Knight walked in to see the child and immediately ran away, "I must notify Princess Dragonfly. She will be cross for sure," he thought. Storming through the doors of the main castle he ran into the nearby village that Dragonfly was living in, for the past months she had protected the ponies in the village and helped them strive. He walked into her home and bowed. "Princess I have news," he said Dragonfly giggled, "Oh Knight, you don't need to be so formal! We're not in the castle and I'm not my dad!"
"Oh…right." He blushed, "Right! To business! You now have a little sister, she was born this morning."
Dragonfly jumped out of her seat and squealed, "A LITTLE SISTER! Oh my gosh I can't wait for her to get older so I can go to hooficures with her!" She stopped dead, "How's Mom? Is she okay? Maybe I should go visit…"
"I don't think that would be smart, your Father is still cross with you."
"He can deal with it. I have the right to enter my own home." She looked at Knight and noticed that the unicorn was almost her height, "Knight, did you grow?"
"I think I did. You don't look as tall. And I've been in the castle this entire time while you've been out here." He lowered his head, "It's boring and quiet without you there." Dragonfly did something that Knight would've never expected, she hugged him. Not with her wings like usual, with her neck and hooves. Knight couldn't help but to hug her back, "Knight you're welcome to come over here I'll talk to my Dad and make him release you. You shouldn't be there if you're forced to be. Now," she let go, "Let's go see my little sister and my Mom."
They began to walk and the villagers smiled and acknowledged the pair. The once old and run down village with houses made from straw and mud was now under great care. The path was defined with stones, the houses were made from supportive brick, food was constant and none were hungry and on the streets. Weekly a farmer's market would open on the main avenue, and in the center of the village there was no longer a crystal statue of Flare but instead a gorgeous white crystal sculpture of Dragonfly looking up to the sky with open wings and regular ponies under her wings, under her protection. All of the villagers would go to the fountain with clear water and make a wish in it. Sometimes it came true but other times Dragonfly would visit the villager and wish them well. Knight would view this town from the balcony of the castle and always think, "She would make a wonderful queen. If only Flare would step aside. I wish I could be her King." Now he was there with the Princess and she was going to free him from Flare. He would be free to decide what he wanted. In the center he saw the children running and playing with a ball. One mare kicked it and it flew away. Her buck was powerful and Dragonfly was interested, the other ponies yelled at her for losing their ball and she cried. Dragonfly walked up and looked at the children, "Now we all probably know that this was just an accident. She has a natural ability as an Earth pony, we should accept her in a town of unicorn an Earth pony is special to us foor his or her abilities. She has strength and you have magic we shouldn't quarrel over a ball," she said the unicorn bowed their heads in shame and Knight walked up. "Here you go," he said. His horn lit and another ball appeared not like the other which was red this one was gold. The unicorn began to play again and the orange Earth pony with blonde hair began to walk away, "I should just go home. No one likes me here anyways," she said as tears streaked her cheeks. Dragonfly walked over to the pony and asked, "What is your name little one?"
"Oh, Princess Dragonfly! You're beautiful just as everyone said! You're wings are much bigger than I thought they would be. Oh right! I'm Gala, Gala Apple. My family and I moved here to start a farm."
"Well Gala Apple. I believe that other ponies need to get used to you. They're used to magic and not strength. If you're kind enough you'll be the pony everypony knows." She smiled and ran home. Knight walked up, "Now without any other disruptions let's get to the castle," Dragonfly giggled. Opening her wings she grabbed Knight and began to fly. Her wings carried them to the castle and while she allowed her dragon wings to carry her far while Knight was screaming out of fear of heights she laughed and landed in the castle courtyard. Fire guards surrounded the pair and the Princess glared at them her heat exploded and the guards backed away.
At that moment a white filly ran out into the main hall to the courtyard and she stopped dead in her tracks. She was frightened as Dragonfly looked at the filly, "I don't like her. Her eyes are piercing, she's bigger than Daddy, she is huge," the filly thought. Dragonfly smiled and spoke, "You must be my little sister?" The white filly squeaked and cowered, "How could you be my sister! You're a monster!" That hurt Dragonfly's feelings she wasn't a monster she was just different, why would anyone call her that? She narrowed her eyes, "Know your place! I am your sister Dragonfly, where's Mom," she answered. Crystal Bearer walked out into the hall where the two Princesses were and she smiled, "Dragonfly," she said the mare ran up to large alicorn and hugged her. "How have you been?"
"I've been great. I learned the crystal formation magic. And the town is looking great. And you Mom?"
"It's been difficult here especially since your Father is always so angry about having another daughter. I've seen your town now I would love to see it."
"I'll take you after the visit. We can also go to the Empire, I know that you miss it."
"I do not think that will happen. You aren't even welcome here," a low voice rang. The Princess glared in the direction from which the voice came. The King emerged from the doors and laughed, "I wonder what this could be," he asked holding up a red crystal. Dragonfly felt a pull towards it and she wondered what it was. "How did you find that Flare," Crystal Bearer growled
"I found it in the library you are always in. Now I can bring my power higher than anyone could imagine. And I think I'll try my new power on Dragonfly's little village." Dragonfly exploded and the crystal lit up from familiarity. She opened her wings and a heat wave rushed over Flare. The filly began to cry and Dragonfly heard her screams of terror. "Freak! Monster! What is she!? She is not my sister! She's not even a pony." This made Dragonfly even angrier. She exploded and roared at her Father. Her mane and tail exploded into flame, her eyes smoked red, and she breathed heavily. "Do not touch those ponies! Your fight is with me!" The crystal lit up and white fire hit the Princess. It was so hot she couldn't take it. Dragonfly fell to her knees and that was it. Dragonfly lost, Flare laughed and rose to the sky. He landed in the center of town and crushed the gorgeous statue. He began to burn and pillage everything killing unicorn without mercy under the white flame. And Knight and Crystal bearer watched as a town was burnt to nothing. The screams of other ponies rang out up to the castle and the city burned to ash.
Dragonfly woke in her room and she felt that something was off. Rising from the red covers, and walked to her balcony and stretched. The morning was bright and clear, "What a beautiful morning," she thought the scent of burning wood met her nose and Dragonfly remembered that Flare was going to destroy her town. She rose to the sky and landed in the broken and burnt town. Tears began to fill her eyes and they steadily fell as she walked through the now destroyed town. There on the floor laid a now passed child unicorn. He was burnt, his coat was singed and his horn was broken and crushed. She wailed loudly and it rang for miles. Her scream was so loud the castle walls began to shake. The tears that fell from her eyes burned the ground below. And she thought, "I am going to kill him. He will regret this!" She held the dead child and hugged him in her tears, "I promised I would protect you and I failed. Why did I lose? Where did he get that crystal from," she growled. "I will kill him."
