Tree of Harmony
Chapter 6
They were in Canterlot now and Flame Striker paused as they entered the throne room. She sat on the new throne that had been created for her. It was made of pure gold and had flames decorating it all the way around. Flame Striker asked the ponies, "Considering I do not have Celestia or Luna to deal with the political sides of things I will ask Princess Twilight Sparkle to handle any visits with other royalty and other ponies who need help. Rarity you will be split. I would like you to help Pinkie Pie organize festivities and meetings in Canterlot and help Princess Twilight Sparkle deal with various royalty. Apple Jack, I want you to manage the kitchen. Rainbow Dash, I'm assigning you to help train the guard. Now who am I missing?" Quickly realizing she left out Fluttershy Flame Striker ended with, "And Fluttershy I'd like your help cleaning and keeping an eye out on the grounds. Will you accept?" Each pony nodded excitedly. Now Flame Striker would never have to deal with it.
She summoned her two helpers into the throne room and the ponies froze, recognizing their two enemies. Flame Striker began explaining, "Sombra is my sparring partner. Queen Chrysalis will be helping train the guard as well. Are there any problems?" The ponies looked confused and questioned Flame Striker,
"How do we know they won't wreak havoc again and cause problems?" Flame Striker merely laughed,
"I'm afraid they're too scared of me to do any such thing. I nearly defeated Sombra once and I can do it again. Besides, he will be training with me. And as for Queen Chrysalis, her changelings will be staying home. I'll be the one feeding her with my love. I can keep easily control over her." Twilight Sparkle frowned,
"What do you mean, you'll be feeding her?" Flame Striker informed her,
"I have knowledge of many ancient magics. One is the magic of emotions. You can trap, control, and keep your emotions. I separate mine and put them in vials. This way they can't escape and cloud my judgement. I can still use them effectively in spells, but by doing this I can also use them in potions. What I will be doing is giving Chrysalis a portion of my love for Equestria but not a powerful enough dose to make her stronger than me...which shouldn't be possible anyways." Rarity frowned,
"And you're sure she just can't break into these vials and steal more?" Flame Striker smirked,
"Only I have access to the vials and thus my emotions. It will be under control Rarity." Apple Jack nodded,
"Very well then. Let's get to work shall we girls?"
