I like to have this chapter done, before I go for London with my best friend. I'll do the next one if I have time.
Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Ember had enter the chamber of shadows. It was so dark that they cannot see, but let out her horn to get some light.
"There," she sigh, "that's better."
"I wonder if were underneath the house of stone." Rainbow wonder, she can't fly underground. So she just have to put her hoofs on the ground.
"Well we are underground." Pinkie complained.
"You think this tunnel will take to the heart?" Applejack ask.
"We've just have to wait and see." Said Twilight, "We have come this far and we won't quit."
Suddenly the light in Twilight horn is starting to fade, she doesn't understand why, but can't use her magic right now.
"Twilight." yelled Rainbow as she can't see again, "What just happen?"
"I don't know," Twilight explained, "but so how I can't use my magic down here."
"I think there some sort of spell," said Ember, "its properly keeping anyone from using magic to get thought this chamber."
"Oh great." Applejack huffed, "I had a feeling we'll get lost down here in the dark. I mean, does any pony see anything?"
The ponies trying to think of idea, when Pinkie notice something.
"Hey look," she whale, "there a little light!"
"I don't see any light." Twilight inquired.
"What there it is." said Ember seeing the little light, just above them.
Then there another one, that is dancing about. Then more tiny lights appeared and had lighten the chamber.
"What are they?" Twilight wonder.
Rainbow flew to take a look and surprise. "They're fireflies!"
"But what are the fireflies going down here?" Applejack wonder.
"I don't know," said Pinkie looking the pretty fireflies, "but they really do light thing up."
Then something hit Ember, "Of course," she cried, "This what the part third riddle. In the darkness you will enter, but fear not, for the little glow friends will lighten your way.
"Those fireflies maybe the little glow friends."
Just then, more fireflies appeared and most of them began to dance along the chamber, which somehow showing the ponies the way.
"What are they doing now?" ask Rainbow Dash.
"I think they want us to follow them." Twilight inquired.
"And I bet they know where the heart is." Ember added.
The five ponies hurry along the chamber, letting the little glow friends lighten the way and that's to their light, the ponies can see well.
In the garden, the other ponies and Spike were just waiting for Twilight and the others.
"Maybe we should go in the chamber and catch up with Twilight and the others." Said Spike starting to feel worried.
"I sure they'll be fine Spike dear." Inquired Rarity. "Along as Rainbow Dash and Applejack are with her."
"Don't forget about Ember," added Shooting Star, "and Pinkie Pie."
"And you should know about Ember," Jasmine inquired, "she is the bravest pony I know, ever sense our filly hood."
"We notices." Fluttershy agreed, "She mush like Twilight, in a different way. And she mush kinder and understandable."
"She always encourage us a lot of times," added Shooting Star, "and were glad to have her."
"But still, what if something happens to them?" ask Spike.
"We just have to give them some time," suggest Arthur, "but if they do run in to trouble. We'll rush down there and help them."
"But can we see in the dark?" ask Jasmine.
"I could shine some light for us." Said Rarity with a suggestion.
"And who goner keep the entrance open? We don't want to be shut in."
"You do have a point."
"What about those horrible goblin cats?" Fluttershy remind her friends, "What if they show up again?"
"Don't worry about." Said Shooting Star, "If they do, we'll handle them. Pulse we know what they can stand off and now we have Arthur by our side."
"Oh yes." agreed Rarity with an encouragement to Arthur, "With some pony as brave and noble like you, dear Arthur. You be willing to protect us. Will you?"
"Um, of course I will." Said Arthur, "That's why I'm here."
"But also," Spike added, "Fluttershy can use her Stare on the goblin cats. Like she did before on one of them."
Fluttershy was getting embraces, that she turn her face away.
Just as the ponies were talking and waiting for the others, they didn't know they've been watch. Someone is watching them from inside the stone house, someone with a wicked chuckle.
Twilight, Ember and the other ponies are making their way through the underground chamber, with the fireflies lighten the way.
"Fluttershy would have love these little one." Said Applejack thinking about Fluttershy.
"And how pretty they are." added Pinkie.
"Forget about the fireflies," Rainbow Dash demand, "are we getting close to the golden heart yet. This is goner take like…forever."
"Ember," Twilight ask, "What is it again the third riddle say? We must know the glue."
"Well, it did say something about a pool of fire," Said Ember, "and it want us to look it to it."
"What's the pool of fire?" Applejack wonder.
"I don't have a glue, but I think we should look for it."
"And how do we find a pool that can be on fire?" inquired Rainbow.
"Like that one?" said Pinkie Pie.
They came to the end of the chamber, where they find an around pool. The water is normal and not a fire.
"You think this is the pool of fire?" Applejack wonder.
"The riddle mention the sun will shine in it before setting." said Ember.
"But there is no sun in here." Rainbow Dash looking around.
Twilight was depress that she and her friends had found nothing. When Ember notice a switch, just near the pool and with a hoof print on it. Without a second thought, she priest it and then the chamber is about to move.
"What did you do Pinkie?" whaled Rainbow.
"I didn't do anything." Pinkie Pie complained.
"This must be a trap!" cried Twilight.
Just before the ponies make a move, a hatch opened slowly from the left side. Opening a small window with bars in it.
"O.K, so it's not a trap." Inquired Rainbow Dash looking at the hatch.
Just then, the light of the setting sun shines on to the pool, then the water of the pool turn into a fiery colour. As like the water of the pool as turn into turn itself.
"The pool of fire!" Twilight with amazement, "The light of the sunset must have shine on it to make it like fire."
"So we've have to look into it, right?" Applejack inquired.
"That's what the riddle said." Ember reminding.
The five ponies look carefully into the pool, it was hard for them to look. Because all they can see is fire in the water.
Pinkie touch the pool without asking.
"Pinkie!" cried Twilight, "Don't touch it!"
"Oh well you relax Twilight." Pinkie complained with a smile. "It's just normal water."
It makes the four ponies so unsurprised. Just then, Ember notice something in the middle of the pool, something bright and shine through the water. She think it could be the heart. So she reach out her hoof, to see if she can get it.
"What are you doing Ember?" Twilight wonder.
"I think this is it." Ember replied without turn over to Twilight.
And then she felt something, something she hope for. She take it out and in her hoof it a heart shape object, made in pure gold with lining patterns in darker gold and another heart sharp in the middle. It is the golden heart, that shines on the ponies.
"Holey bucket of apples." cried Applejack. "This must be it."
"The golden heart!" Twilight whaled with delight and take from Ember. "We've found it."
The shine of the heart vanish, as it's out of the pool and the light of the setting sun.
"It's so pretty," Pinkie looking at the heart, "and it's made of gold."
Rainbow took the heart from Twilight, so she can take a look.
"How awesome is this!" Rainbow said with delight, "I'll be like Daring Doo, who has finally found the hidden treasure that is made of gold!"
"You mean we've found it," complained Applejack, the she turn to Twilight, "What next Twilight?"
"We need to take to Princess Celestia," Twilight suggest, "She might know how to work the heart. It presses powerful magic and its powers is not yet awaken."
"What do you mean not awaken?" ask Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know yet. But the book said that only the one unicorn who can use it powers for good and I don't know who."
Ember notice something about the heart, something that caught her interest. And what does the last part of the riddle said?
Her thought was shatter, when the ponies hear a scream coming from the entrance.
"Was that Fluttershy?" Ember ask.
Then they hear another scream, which it is sounded like Rarity.
"Are friends must be I trouble." Rainbow inquired.
"Let's go." Twilight commanded.
Five minutes ago, the four mares, Spike and Arthur could feel a rumble for the chamber. Which makes them worried.
"What's happening down there?" Jasmine wonder, then the rumble stop.
"Well at least is calm now." Said Rarity.
Just then, they could feel a chill in the air. They plants are beginning to freeze and the sky grow dark. Fluttershy had seen this before, while with Ember and Applejack. And the Arthur could sense trouble.
A great shadow fell across the five ponies and Spike, then they turn to it. It was a tall stranger with a dark purple robe with a hood, coming into the garden.
"Who is that?" wonder Shooting Star.
"I don't know," said Jasmine feel the shivers, "but it doesn't look friendly."
"Get behind me, quick!" Arthur suggest in protected mode.
The stranger chuckle, as she stare at the ponies with glowing eyes.
"Who are you?!" Arthur demanded, "What do you want?!
"You are very clever of beating my goblin cats." Hissed the hooded stranger. "But you won't be clever enough to dale with me."
Fluttershy notice the voice and came with a scary question. "Are you…M-m? Merissa?"
"So, the element of Kindness notice me. Well, I guess it's time to revile myself. For the second."
She remove her hood from her head and to a great terror to the ponies and Spike. That Merissa is a snow cat beast, with terrible claws. As she triumphant through the air with a great storm.
Arthur stand hold as bold as he can, as the four mares and Spike haggled together behind him in fear.
"What's wrong my little ponies?" hissed Merissa with a dark look, "Cat got your tongue?"
In few moments as Merissa shows her sharp white teeth with a wicked smile and unless an icy wind across the garden, making everything frozen.
Fluttershy scream with horror.
This will be an excited part, that I could not get my mind off it. But it will be good or really bad.
