Canterlot, one of the royal chambers, in front of the window with a view of the world, the lost princess Twilight Sparkle stood in her mind, who after all the days gone by decided to put on the table what she did not live up to nowadays, two days ago almost a tragedy occurred, the entire crystal empire stood on the verge of extinction, only lucky luck and human intervention meant that the crystal empire was not lost forever, it can be called luck, accident, the act of a man who ultimately saved the situation but for Twilight it was a personal failure, feeling that she had failed everyone that she had not foreseen the blow in the back and there was nothing she could do to stop the danger.

- it's not for me, me. Not!. If it weren't for he fear, he would think what would happen, Alex. Twilight said, setting her golden crown and golden breastplate on the table, feeling well that, after ten years of rule, she had failed everyone in this time and the crisis of the scarlet legions.

Twilight left her room on the way to the palace exit, she was walking quite fast because today, that day, a special guest from Appleloosa was to come to Ponyville, a special one because she was a relative of her best friend Applejack and she did not want her friend to be alone that day.

- Twilight wait. The familiar voice of the sun princess echoed down the hall.

- Celestia. Twilight said as she bowed her head to her former mentor and now retired princess.

- Twilight, you know you don't have to bow to me, now you are the Queen of Equestria. Celestia said standing close to her old apprentice.

- I know but.

- Twilight tell me where is your crown and golden breastplate, something happened.

- I actually do. Twilight answered the white Alicorn's question about the shining mane. tucking the right hoof behind the left one with obvious shame.

- tell me what happened. Celestia asked, staring into Twilight's nervous eyes showing more than shame.

- I am not worthy of the crown, I have failed everyone in these two weeks, I have failed to secure my nation, prepare myself and everyone, I could not even foresee Sombra's predictable plan, I should have foreseen his plan, I should have been ready, but I have failed everyone, all without exception, friends, family, everyone. Twilight Sparkle said, directing all her anger and regret to herself.

Seeing this, Celestia put her hoof on the shoulder of her former apprentice, wanting to show her her support in the present moment and the time that has fallen around the world like a terrible nightmare.

- Twilight don't blame yourself, no one could have foreseen that something so terrible will come to our world, but after ten years of your wonderful rule, today you can't run away, Equestria needs you, your friends need you, and so do I. Celestia said, giving her friend the greatest support, but that was not all that Celestia had to surprise her former student.

- you know, I also feel that I have let everyone down, you, my sister, the whole world, everyone.

- you, but how, it's impossible. Twilight said, her eyes wide.

- yes I have failed you, myself, I also would never have expected such evil, such power, Akeron, his scarlet legions, his chosen ones, I should expect the liberator of tyrants like Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Tirek to be incredibly powerful but now I see it all too well, Akeron transcends everything we know, what's worse, this monster can summon its legions at any place and at any time and there is nothing I can do, nothing!. Celestia said, staring down at the empty corridor.

This time it was Twilight who gave her support by placing her right hoof on her side to console her old mentor.

- it's not your fault that none of our powers work against this evil that precedes us and all we have at our disposal, when I saw how the power of friendship, the power of harmony is consumed by monoliths, it filled me with indescribable fear, but you are not to blame for it that it is ahead of us in every aspect.

- you see, Twilight, you are not to blame either, none of us, it is not our fault that an indescribable evil has come, our only fault is that we cannot sufficiently defend our citizens, relatives and friends. Celestia said, surprising Twilight until she suddenly understood everything she said.

Twilight Sparkle smiled as she looked at the open palace door leading to the courtyard, understanding how she herself had no influence on what was happening in the world today, at least partially in relation to the great evil that now hangs over the world.

- yes, it's not our fault, however, it's not time for me to wear the crown again, and I want to look less official today.

- less officially.

- Yes, I want to be closer to my friends and from what Applejack told me, her relative from Appleloosa, Braeburn, Braeburn is coming to Ponyville today, Braeburn decided to come to Ponyville to deal with a case that he decided to stop putting aside. Twilight Sparkle said, and her old mentor quickly smiled.

- yes, there is something to it, recently for the past two weeks I have noticed an increase in ponies and other breeds, something has changed, everyone has become like that, well, they do not postpone anything for later, my guards meet you with families more often, they take care of a new hobby, some of them spend a lot of time in the kitchen learning to cook. Princess Celestia said with a smile, but there was also a certain fear of the future in her words.

- they do it all because they are scared, Rarity told me that the griffin Gallus proposed to Cherry Berry.

- what, griffin and pony and how she accepted his proposal.

- yes, she accepted them without thinking.

- amazing, I thought Gallus was close to Silverstream and such a meatball here, but to the point, Twilight, what do you think about it, is everyone doing it because they are afraid?. Princess Celestia asked, come on, she already knew the answer to this question herself.

- I am sure of it, the world is afraid and has stopped postponing many things for later time, on the one hand it is good because ponies and creatures of the world do not put serious things aside, on the other hand, it is not good when fear ruled everything and now that We have such a great defender, I guess. Twilight said, recalling the man's last word.

- this man, Alex, I still can't read him, but after what he did to save Star Lara, I hope that he will not be our enemy. Come on, if you rightly noticed, we attacked him first. Princess Celestia said.

- I would very much like it to be our friend, to talk to him, to get to know him better, besides, we already know something, he said that he is crazy, but it seems to me that not everything tells us everything, and what he does, let him be close when the enemy will come. Twilight Sparkle said with joy and hope for a human written on her face.

- we can only hope, and Twilight told me someone was waiting for you. Princess Celestia said.

- and yes, I completely forgot, I'm running and as if waiting for a call. Twilight said, and she ran down the hall to the palace exit, leaving a worried sun princess in the aisle.

I must admit that Princess Celestia was not entirely sure about people, but she knew perfectly well that so far only man was their greatest asset and so far all Equestria was in his hands and not the whole world.

Meanwhile, Sweet Apple Acres, the farm and home of the Apple family, an nervous earth pony mare with a currant coat and a mane of two shades of pink was running through the grain fields, it was Miss Cheerilee, a teacher from Ponyville school, but this time after an afternoon hour when her students had finished the teacher noticed the lack of two of her students who had long dreamed of a career in detective, they were two little ponies, the pegasus Diper and the unicorn Zax, both suddenly disappeared before the last lesson, and Miss Cheerilee could deduce only one from the words of their friends. Two of her students embarked on a perilous journey into the woods behind Sweet Apple Acres, to White Tail Woods, looking for something, following the strange footprints they found before school that day.

- two narcissists, don't they know that the world is dangerous now, don't they know about the scarlet legions, yet one of them and even more may be lurking in the forests, after all, they don't have to concentrate on these monoliths, and if. Not!. Cheerilee shouted to herself. Continuing across the field.

Miss Cheerilee wanted with all her might to throw away from her head terrible thoughts and visions in which her two students, after failing to keep their own duties, would be captured by a scarlet plague, and the vision of what they could do to them made the currant hair of the running teacher tremble

Everything was interrupted, but only for a moment when Cheerilee fell out of the grain wall to collide with a pink unicorn with a navy blue mane in one second. The roar and the skin rose into the sky, and when they fell, temporarily surprised Miss Cheerilee looked at the unicorn mare on which she was lying for a moment, as it turned out it was Sugar Belle, Big Mac's wife and Swift Max's mother.

- I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I have to. Miss Cheerilee muttered, trying to get up as soon as possible and continue the pursuit of the two unruly students.

- what, wait a minute Miss Cheerilee, wait, something happened. Sugar Belle asked.

- yes, two of my students went back to play detectives and went alone to White Tail Woods, now that the threat of an attack by the scarlet legions looms over the world, I don't even want to think what I'm going to do, I, my irresponsibility, should do something right now and not wait til the last bell, thinking the two rascals are gone home. Cheerilee said, tapping her forehead with a hoof. But her fear quickly spread to Sugar Belle.

- what !, they went crazy if no one warned them. Sugar Belle said nervously and abruptly to her feet.

- certainly their parents warned them, but the translator said to the two young men fascinated in detective stories, they said something about unknown traces leading from Sweet Apple Acress to the forest itself. Miss Cheerilee said nervous, wanting to run to the forest as soon as possible in search of her unruly students.

- wait, I'm coming with you. Sugar Belle said, of course she was afraid of the unknown in the depths of the forests that a few days ago were the site of a great battle between free peoples against the scarlet legions and the first appearance of man.

- are you sure. The teacher asked.

- yes I'm sure.

- you are not afraid of what may happen to us there.

- I'm sure I'm afraid for myself, but I'm more afraid for these two rascals, they are only children, I also have a child so I don't want to imagine what parents can feel if, oh, don't think so, so let's go better. Sugar Belle said as she ran with Miss Cheerilee.

- What about Big Mac, maybe you should tell him. The teacher suggested. At which her friend quickly shook her head.

- no, I don't have to. Big Mac is currently in town with our son, they are exchanging goods together, I advised him myself because I wanted him to bounce back a bit from everyday life full of fear which is full here and to spend more time with our son. Sugar Belle said, giving her running friend a short smile.

At the beginning of the expedition, the two friends ran with clear determination and certainty painted on their faces and eyes, but everything was quickly replaced when the eyes of both mare saw the beautiful but now uncertain White Tail Woods, the site of a great battle and now a quiet place that was the target of two unruly youths.

- so what are we doing. Sugar Belle asked in a slightly trembling voice, looking after the teachers, Miss Cheerilee was standing in front of a strange trail on the ground, a trail unlike anything else.

- Sugar, look at this, Diper and Zax were right, they found some footprints, weird, leading straight into the woods, what are we doing. Miss Cheerilee asked, come the answer itself pushed to the senses and fear looked into the eyes of the two mares.

- these traces, Zax and Diper for sure followed, if they are fans of detective stories they will surely be where these traces end, but these traces have never been seen before, and if. Sugar Belle said, staring at the Cheerilee with his eyes wide open.

- oh not only that, the scarlet legions!. Miss Cheerilee cried, running along the tracks deep into the forest, fearing more for her students' lives than hers.

- Cheerilee, wait for me!. Sugar Belle shouted as she ran after the teacher.

For some time, probably for an hour, this race lasted, a race against time and the inexhaustible threat that could threaten two students, both mares ran through thickets, fallen boughs, paths and sparse clearings, listening to the sound of the forest, the wind blowing and the birds flying between the trees, keep in mind the increasingly less visible traces on the ground, until the last of the traces disappeared in front of a small clearing.

- where they are, traces disappear somewhere here. Miss Cheerilee said, looking around the area, the open space and the bough in the middle.

At the same time, Sugar Belle, who was unable to slow down, fell into Cheerilee and hit the teacher with a bang, both fell to the ground again, kicking up a momentary cloud of dust. The sound they made would wake up even the biggest sleepyhead and that's what happened, a human hand appeared from behind the branch, both mares looked at the human hand and the rising man, completely paralyzed with fear, trembled teeth chattering, fortunately the man lay down behind the branch again continuing loud snoring at the same moment two students from Ponyville landed on both sides, a golden pegasus with a black mane, a powder cap and a magnifying glass held in the right hoof, the other was a blue unicorn with a white mane with black glasses both looked at the two adult ponies as they moved their hooves in front of her mouth in a gesture of silence.

Two adult ponies and two young foals retreated from the clearing, returning to the safe surroundings of the forest. Before Miss Cheerilee or Sugar Belle managed to scold two inconsiderate foals, the first of them, a golden pegasus with a magnifying glass and a cap, showed him to the place where he rested, as everyone knew.

- you are lucky that you did not come too close, the whole clearing is surrounded by a half-visible barrier, Zax felt it and observed it, I will throw a stone and you will see what happens. Diper said excitedly.

- right, throw a stone and you will see how it bounces off what can be described as a red barrier invisible until the moment of attack. Whatever it is, it created this force field so that no one would disturb him in his sleep. Zax excitedly said.

Seeing the naivety and stupidity of her blue pupil in black glasses, Miss Cheerilee looked at them and died badly, trapping how dangerous this situation was for both foals who had the vision of being a detective.

- Zax, Diper, do you know who's sleeping there, it's a man!, a man named Alex Kowalski, this man of words and gossip, he crushed the scarlet legions several times. Said Miss Cheerilee, wanting to scold the unwise youngsters, but instead made them even more joyful.

- the man who whispers the whole city and we, the real detectives, found him!. Screamed Diper, jumping high, helping himself with his wings and lifting the magnifying glass in a gesture of victory.

- man, this man and we found him, ha there are no better detectives than us than Diper. Zax said they beat their friend's hooves with their hooves.

- Right Zax, only we found the trace of a man, only we found him, the whole world can only envy us!. Diper shouted.

Sugar Belle, seeing that Miss Cheerilee will not be able to convince the two foals, what is worse, their screams of joy can wake up and focus the human's gaze on herself, quickly approached the two young men, looking at them in an eloquent way.

- you are completely irresponsible, you venture into a dangerous place, man, well, you don't know what he will do. Maybe he's not bad, but you might have run into one of the scarlet legions, which you would have done, and besides, you made me scared for you as much as Miss Cheerilee, you made me suffer for the worst, please don't do this to us anymore. Sugar Belle said, and as it turned out, her words finally reached the two hot boys.

- I'm sorry, it was stupid, but we found a man. Diper said, trying to explain himself, but he quickly stepped back when he met the unicorn's gaze again and the sight of her bristling navy blue mane.

- I'm sorry, it was really stupid. Diper agreed.

- Me too, we shouldn't go here alone, sorry. Zax said, bowing his head low with his friend.

Seeing this, Miss Cheerilee smiled at her friend and congratulated her on the pedagogical approach to the matter.

- I'm really surprised even I couldn't handle it in such a perfect way as you Sugar Belle. You surprise me, maybe you would be a better teacher than a cook who bakes cakes and pastries. Cheerilee said, and Sugar Belle just nodded her head.

- Well, I have my experience, I also have such a rascal at home and that's enough for me, so I'll stay with baking, besides Cheerilee today you were not yourself, you lost your cold judgment and all your balance, you know, the sight of a man who can defuse whole armies from such a shock is even shocking for me, I don't know if I would be able to bake the smallest cupcake right now. Sugar Belle said laughing afterwards but was quickly stopped by Miss Cheerilee.

- shhh, we'd better go, we'd better not wake up before we leave the forest.

- yeah, yeah, right so let's follow the footsteps, wait a minute. Sugar Belle said, looking at the ground and where the marks were visible, but now the eyes of four ponies, two adult mare and two foals saw the sight of empty ground without the slightest trace.

- It's probably a joke when we get home. Sugar Belle asked upset.

- it's not a problem, we'll bring you out, but Zax. Diper said, lifting his magnifying glass high.

- sure Diper, today we will not only be detectives, today we will be heroes, follow us. Zax said putting on dark glasses on his head in front of the magic horn.

Pegasus and the unicorn led the two adult mares back through the thicket of the forest, Diper, using his magnifying glass, easily saw his own prints on the ground covered with the litter, and Zax, using his magic horn powers, saw what the normal eye could not see the scent path left by all of them, until some time, two juvenile detectives were walking through the forest in accordance with their goal to return home as soon as possible, but at one point they both stopped, looked at each other and suddenly moved left, heading north.

- Diper, Zax, are we going well?. Miss Cheerilee asked.

- I don't remember this road right away, Diper, Zax, are you guys leading us well, aren't you lying to us. Sugar Belle asked, coming closer to the golden pegasus with the black mane and the blue unicorn with the black white mane.

The two ponies looked at each other for a moment, exchanging only brief glances, then both nodded their heads.

- do not be afraid, we lead you in a shortcut there are still stinking swamps. Zax said with a gleaming horn.

- it smells very bad there, I can feel it already. Added Diper, setting the magnifying glass to the ground again and guiding everyone north.

- smelly swamp, yuck if I don't like it, drive well. Miss Cheerilee said, agreeing to everything.

However, the two young men were not entirely honest, it was not about the swamp, but about the new, barely visible traces, some looked like some objects moving on the ground, the other like hooves, and the third like big paws of something really big. When two home-grown detectives were leading the adult ladies, they left the group for a moment, taking the lead at a safe distance for them.

- Hey Diper, you know what we do following these footsteps. Zax whispered.

- I know, I know it too much, we found a trace of something interesting. Diper replied taking his eye away from the magnifying glass.

- so too, and if we accidentally put ourselves and those ladies in danger, and if they are the traces of the scarlet legions, we are acting a little irresponsibly.

- I know Zax, but it's stronger than me.

- from me too and what to do here.

- your Zax, yours.

- hey, what are you whispering there?. Sugar Belle asked, curious about the conversation.

Suddenly everyone stopped hearing a loud conversation conducted on another clearing, no wonder, but the growl, scream and roar of trampled trees shocked everyone and the view that emerged from the bushes was not pleasant.

All four of them saw with her own eyes how from a modest scarlet monolith a great army of scarlet snakes armed with bows, centaurs wielding broad shields and maces, and two giants armed with two large cannons attached to their backs, as Diper and Zax stared from hiding at a hundred man the armies behind them Sugar Belle and Miss Cheerilee trembled at the mere sight of the scarlet legions, and more terrifyingly, the one who led this tiny army. He was tall adult Alicorn, with pale fur and mane curls.

- Cozy Glow, so it's true that a man turned her into an adult, boys or you guys brought us here, I'm asking!. Miss Cheerilee said with all her might, muffling the raised voice.

- quieter, better run before they don't notice us. She proposed Sugar Belle.

- wait, look, she says something to her amulet. Zax said, using the power of the horn to listen more closely to the conversation.

- as I said before, you will attack Sweet Apple Acres, then you will sow the scarlet seed of the new obelisk there, and then, when the monolith is built for centuries, you will hit Ponyville, take no prisoners and show no mercy. Akeron said and his voice sounded from a scarlet amulet around Cozy Glow's neck.

- yes, the champion will be as you want, the first revenge on the Apple family, oh yeah. Cozy Glow said with satisfaction.

The ponies sitting in the bushes, hearing the words of two, shuddered at what was coming.

- what, what, what we do. Sweet Apple Acres must be evacuated. Miss Cheerilee said, sounding like a panicked little pony.

- oh no Sweet Apple, Big Mac and Swift Max. What to do, what to do, they'll be home soon. Sugar Belle, completely panicked, said.

- hey, first we have to stay calm, secondly, I don't want to worry you but we probably won't be able to warn anyone from Sweet Apple Acres. Zax said, looking at a pink unicorn with a quivering navy blue mane.

- this, I don't want to worry you. Said Diper backing up to his friend, teacher and her friend, showing with his hoof what was standing behind their backs.

Suddenly their eyes saw a picture of a terrible scarlet ten-meter monster that screamed at them and they burst out in fear at him.

At the same time, a gray pegasus mare with a golden mane and a squint in front of her eyes was flying in the sky above the forest, it was Derpy Hooves, who had recently been involved in scouting voluntarily and now her crooked eyes saw something she never wanted to see, the sight of four ponies surrounded by scarlet legions far from any help.

- oh no no!, not that. Derpy Hooves said in a squeaky voice and she dashed back to Ponyville seeking help.

At one point the shock of Derpy Hooves reached its peak and her strabismus almost disappeared as she left the forest and a steel object in black and red armor and steel wings rushed nearby, Derpy Hoover knew it was a man but his words were probably more terrifying than his missile-boosted flight boosters from shoes and gloves.

- I'm finally renting, I love sunset roast. Alex said, and he flew off towards where Derpy Hooves last saw the scarlet surrounding four ponies.

Meanwhile, the Ponyville stop, the entire Mane Six, Spike, and the Big Mac escort with his son, the red stallion with his green-haired and red-maned son, joined everyone waiting at the station for the train from Appleloosa, with a relative of Applejack.

- I wonder what business my cousin has in Ponywille. Applejack said.

- from what you said, he comes with a specific matter which he decided not to postpone. Rarity said.

- hey, maybe he decides to propose to someone. Pinkie Pie said, bouncing in place and staring at the horizon for the train.

- it's not that stupid, my cousin could finally settle down, find the other half. Applejack said, recalling her friends' choices about chaos and the dragon.

- well, he could finally hurry up. Rarity said with a distinct blush on her face as she exchanged a quick glance with the dragon standing nearby.

- just hurry, recently I noticed that many ponies and other breeds stopped postponing many things. Said Rainbow Dash as she walked closer to the edge of the platform as she saw the train coming.

- even the animals are so hurried, what I noticed, they too feel a growing uncertainty, it's kind of. Fluttershy said, but never quit for fear that her words might come true.

- come on, Fluttershy, no apocalypse hangs over our world as long as we're all together. Spike said hugging a cream colored pegasus mare. By giving her encouragement.

- besides, when a man is our friend, I am not afraid of the future. Said proudly Twilight Sparkle, who had made quite a stir with her appearance at the station, as with her words of trust towards a human being.

- the man, the hero, is said to be incredibly fast. Asked Swift Max picking his hooves as he ran around the station chasing his own shadow.

- so very fast, but not like me. Rainbow Dash said, winking at the little pony come on, she knew that wasn't entirely true.

- okay, okay, we can avoid this issue, look, the train just stops. Big Mac said, watching as the locomotive with the trains stopped in front of the platform and the few ponies began to get off the train.

The sight of the princess standing on the platform caused an immediate reaction of the ponies getting out and they immediately bowed their heads in a gesture of respect, while a yellow pony on the platform and an orange mane wearing a hat and dressed in a brown uniform with a backpack on his back greeted him with his broad smile and a firm hug. with his relatives, Braeburn embraced Applejack and Big Mac, quickly trying to answer his extended family's question.

- Uncle part, how good to see you. Swift Max shouted, hugging his cousin.

- Good to see you too, you rascals. Braeburn said.

- the way we run, today I will break my old record. Asked Swift Max as he prepared for the next race, luckily for Braeburn, Big Mac stopped his son from starting another race.

- Swift Max, please have some patience. Big Mac said as he cooled his son.

- come on Braeburn what brings you today, say, say. Applejack asked.

- I will say so in a moment, Em, but first Princess Twilight. Braeburn said in a trembling voice, bowing his head to the Princess of Equestria,

- you don't have to really bow to me. Twilight Sparkle said.

- Hey Braeburn, stop running away and tell us what kind of thing you came to us with Appleloosa. Asked Big Mac, holding his son by the red mane, when asked by his cousin, Braeburn pulled a hoof hoop with a visible diamond eyelet from his backpack, which at once was answered only in one way.

- Braeburn or you. Applejack asked and her cousin nodded.

- so I decided to stop procrastinating and finally talk to Miss Cheerilee. Braeburn said with complete certainty with a slight flush.

- what !, you and Cheerilee but how, when. Shocked Big Mac asked.

- six months ago, I accidentally met Cheerilee while in Ponyville, when she was leaving school, when I saw her, gosh, I still feel dizzy and, you know, we started dating since then. Braeburn said, causing the delight and fainting of a white unicorn mare with a purple mane.

- Rarity's fine?. Spike asked, holding it in his hands.

- Er, yes, I'm fine, it's so delightful. Rariy said, leaving the previously troubled young dragon behind her.

Actually, new questions were to be asked, but everything was interrupted suddenly by a gray pegasus for the first time with straightened eyes, it was Derpy Hooves, who fell into the crowd of gathered ponies deliriously and waving her hooves towards the forest.

- man, scarlet, scarlet, man, Sugar, Cheerilee !. Derpy Hooves shouted, normally her words seemed incoherent words of panic but to Big Mac and Braeburn they were the words of the highest alert.

Big Mac and Braeburn caught Derpy by shaking her and trying to figure out as much as possible.

- if it's Sugar Belle, she's in danger. Big Mac asked, frightened.

- is the Cheerilee also there, or are the scarlet ones threatening them. Asked Braeburn at which Derpy nodded her head that stopped everyone.

- Immediately my mother is in danger !. Asked the terrified green pony.

- where are they. Rainbow Dash, ready to fight as ever, asked.

- they are in White Tail Woods, I saw them being surrounded by a hundred scarlet and Cozy Glow, them and two foals from the school. She told Derpy's squad, also recovering the strabismus she usually had.

The words of the pegasus mare caused fear and agitation in everyone's hearts, Rarity fainted again in the paws of her dragon friend, Fluttershy took a step back fearing everything, and Pinkie Pie jumped up, pulling the stick from her mane. Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle stood steadily in front of Derpy Hooves, asking her only for one thing.

- show us the way and we will take care of this matter. Said the navy blue mare Alicorn.

- Yes, it is, follow me, but it gets even worse. Said Derpy Hooves, and they all looked at her again with no mean fear beyond that of the two terrified stallions.

- which could be worse. Big Mac asked.

- man!, I saw a man there and he said something about roast for supper, I think he wants to eat them all. Derpy said shaking her head and golden mane.

- my mummy main course!. Swift Max shouted, looking towards the woods.

- not!. Braeburn shouted as he suddenly took off into the woods.

- don't I have time, don't even think like that, don't think like that!. Braeburn shouted to himself in terror as Derpy Hooves overtook him.

- I will take you this way. Derpy said.

In the meantime, the running Applejack looked at Twilight, who was the only one who did not hide a greater fear of man come and she felt a slight twinge of uncertainty when it was about eating.

- Twilight tell me what people normally eat. Applejack asked.

- you know, they eat everything, chocolate, vegetables, fruit, they don't just eat diamonds. Twilight said avoiding any answers about the meat.

- Twilight tell me if people eat anything or what I think. Applejack asked.

- yes, they also eat meat, in some countries people eat such strange things that I am shocked by it myself. Twilight Sparkle said.

- that is, they eat little bunnies, deer, everything. Fluttershy said scared, fearing for her own animals and regretting all the others.

- unfortunately yes, but that's not the worst, in some countries people even eat worms. She told Twilight which almost stopped the whole chase.

- What!. They said Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinke Pie at the same time, spitting out anything they had in their mouths.

- it's terrible. Applejack said.

- terrible ?, it's terrible! how can you eat worms!, these people are abnormal. Said running with all the Swift Max.

- this is the menu they have, and what they don't eat, it's better not to say, snakes

- rats in extreme cases!. Twilight Sparkle told herself, unable to hide her disgust at the mere thought of the strange unusual dishes served in some countries of the human world.

- oh no, and if a man is hungry and has a pony on hand, can he eat one of us and make a main course out of my Sugar Belle worse!. Big Mac shouted as he listened to the conversation during the mad run.

When asked by the red stallion, Twilight Sparkle did not answer, instead she switched to another topic of conversation about the scarlet legions, not being sure about one thing herself, though she believed in a man and his good intentions to help her world, she was not sure about the culinary tastes of a man, after all Alex could have any dish on his menu, which meant a pony could be on that list. But this was to turn out when the running ponies first saw the Sweet Apple Acres and the thunder strike behind her, which meant only one thing, the human began to hunt.

l

my story has many different variations, e.g. the griffin Gallus was close to Silverstream but in my story their relationship did not work out and Gallus is now linked to Cherry Berry.

I have to add that the world of Pony is full of different heroes, second and third plenary, I finally never reached for them because I preferred to create many new characters such as Alocorn Star Lara younger sister Flurry Heart, hippogriff Justice Dusk, buffalo Gah Handston, Swift Max son of Big Mac and Sugar Belle, of course, my favorite new heroes modeled on detectives such as Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes in the children's version, Diper and Zax, who will be very important heroes here
