I just took a little for a while, but I'm still going and there's much to do. So let's continued.
In a few moments after felling in to that hole, Ember was transported back into the chamber of shadows, just near the pool where the golden heart lies.
"What am I going back in here?" she wonder and seeing is so dark.
But then the fireflies came to her and lighten things up. Some of them come in form the hatch and some came out from hidden. They were everyway, hundreds of them and the chamber was now full of light from the friendly fireflies.
Ember was pleased to have some company, but she does not understand why she here. Until the bubble appeared and move slowly to the ground without touch the floor.
"I know you can speak," said Ember, "I've been seeing you and hearing in my dreams. Or is it a vision. But I what to know. Who are you? And what do you what from me?"
There was no answer from the glowing bubble, until it shine brightly, that Ember has to cover her eyes.
Then the voice spoke. "I not be afraid, I've been waiting for you a long time. Your quest is not yet for filled, but you are one step closer."
When the light fades, the bubble came to a form of a unicorn pony, but in sprite with wavy mane and shockingly, she is almost like Ember or close to Twilight.
Ember was even more surprise and close as a shock.
"Who are you?" Ember ask, "Are you…the ghost that…I heard about?"
"I am Bright Eyes," said the sprite, "The creator and the keeper of the golden heart. I've made this chamber to keep it hidden and I've watching it ever since."
Ember was shock to meet the creator of the golden heart, who can do mysterious thing. But she try not to be afraid of a ghost and ask a wondering question.
"So…mm…Are you really a ghost?"
"I am what's left of my magic. Yet I am a sprite, with a bit of spark of me."
"And what's with the fireflies?" ask Ember.
"They have always been the friendlies of creatures." Said Bright Eyes looking at them, "We've call them the glow friends. They somehow give us ponies some love and happiness.
"For years they have been a good company to me and how will they have help me. Even they become a part of my sprite and magic.
"Not only can they brighten through the forest, in meadows or in the valley in every night. They have the power of healing and give life, just like the golden heart."
"But now, Merissa has got It." Sigh Ember in despair, "and she going to use to bring pain and bring doom to Equestria."
"Merissa may do have the heart. But not its' powers, it is not yet awaken and you should fear not. The golden heart power is made by the powers of goodness and life. It can never be reverts to evil."
"Merissa also took my friend Twilight, she think she the one to awaken it."
"Twilight can't not be the one, she belongs to the elements of harmony and represents the great element. Magic.
"Only a different pony, who can willed the heart. If her is pure and always be there for others. If you remember the last part of the riddle I've told you."
Ember try remember the last part of the riddle. Then she remembered.
"Knowing this, the one pony who will became one with the heart of gold. If she carries the mark of…" Then something hit inside of Ember head."What a minute."
She remember there something strange about the golden heart, which was just like…her cutie mark.
She was surprise that she carries the mark of the heart.
"But how?" Ember feeling so confused, "It doesn't make any scene."
"But there is," said Bright Eyes, "If you like to know how you've been getting those dreams and that vision, because I've got connection to your magic.
That's right Ember, you are related to me and you have the magic I have that flow in your veins."
Ember was surprise again with widen eyes. "You mean you're my great, great, great, great, great grandma?"
Bright Eyes nodded, "When you got your cutie mark, I awaken from my rest to feel your spark and watch you for a long time.
"When you left to Canterlot and learn about the heart, I knew the time has come to guild you to the heart and get to know you.
"For you see I use to be the keeper of the heart, but now my magic is not enough of it and I fear any evil will try and take it. So I hidden it away in the pool, to wait for a new keeper with better magic then mine and who is descended to me.
"But now the heart could feel your spark when you got your cutie mark. It is now close to be contact to you and it's been waiting for you to be one with it."
"But how can I do it?" Ember ask in worried, "What if I do have the power?"
"But you do, for you are the sprite of the heart and you can be one with it, if you use the spark of your magic. That way the golden heart will come to you and the heart it the only object to stop Merissa.
"Once you have the heart, its powers will do something wonderful for you and make you stranger than ever. If your heart is pure and had some great emotion. But also you can share the magic with your friends, if you were bond with them.
"There might be an element in the heart," Bright Eyes continued, "and what you priest more than I have before. Not in your own head, but in your own heart. Which you'll find out on you own and added your own magic into the heart of gold."
"So it's up to me to use the heart," said Ember knowing what she must do, "save my friends and save Equestria. Not just for me, but to all my friends and I will not give up until is done."
Just then a glowing light came out of Ember's body and knowing this strange feel that is not from her head, but in her heart and Ember realized what she can do.
The fireflies came around her, showing her that she is ready.
"I knew you had in you," she said with a song, "you've have carried the flame in you and that come from the ponies that cares and believe in you.
You have to do this, for all of your friends.
It has to be…"
Ember. "It has to be…"
Bright Eyes. "Your destiny."
"My destiny."
"And it's what your cutie mark…
"It's what my cutie mark…
Both. "Yes is what your/my cutie mark is telling you/me."
With that agreement, Ember spark is lighten within her.
"I will help you get to Twilight and her friends," said Bright Eyes with her last request, "I sense they are danger in Merissa's lair. So I will give you enough magic to send to there in a flash.
"But first you must check on you other friends back at the house of stone. They are getting worried about you. Good luck my child and always be strong. No matter where I am, I will always be by your side."
In a few moments, Bright Eyes had herself vanish for her time is done. But before she goes, she give Ember a bit of her magic to go any.
After that, Ember was lifted up from the floor of the chamber by one of Bright Eyes's magic, then suddenly became a blazing ball of light and then carried off.
Just in the house of stone, as the place is get a bit cold from the frozen garden that Merissa had made. Jasmine and Shooting Star had keeping Arthur safe and fix up his wound. Just then, Arthur is about to move and slowly open his eyes.
"Look," said Shooting Star to Jasmine, "he coming around."
"Arthur, can you stand?" ask Jasmine.
"Corse I can." Said Arthur as he is strong enough to get up, then he ask quickly, "What happen? How long I've been out? Where the princess, her friends and Ember?"
Jasmine and Lofty explained about what happen, then Arthur was now in despair. The same way as the two mares, they have fail to help Ember, Princess Twilight and her friends.
"Ember," matter Jasmine sadly, "we're sorry."
Suddenly a blast of light came from the garden, which surprise the three ponies. Shooting Star was bold enough to check it out. As she did, there was rays of blazing light it lighten the garden like a sun, shimmering sparkles spread out from the light and shower around the area.
Just then, the frozen garden being to melt away and the garden was back to the way it is, but full of great beauty of green leaves and wild flowers.
When the light fades and Shooting Star can see what is that light can do such great power. Then to her surprise, Ember had reappeared right in front of her.
"Shooting Star!" Ember cried with joy.
"Ember!" she whaled, "You're alive!"
Shooting Star embrace her friend with a big hug.
"I thought I never see you again."
Jasmine came along and to her delight as well, she happy to see Ember and hug her too. Ember body was so warm, that surprise her friends and amazed of what she did to the old garden.
"How did you do that?" ask Jasmine to Ember, "I never thought you can do magic like this."
"I'll explain later." Said Ember, "Where's Arthur?"
Arthur came out slowly. He was happy to see Ember is O.K, but still painfully hurt form the fight. Ember rush over to him and caught his fall.
"Arthur," Ember inquired, "you're still hurt. You need to get back to Maren Tone." The she turn to Jasmine and Shooting Star, "You two Arthur home and warn every pony about this."
"But what about you?" ask Shooting Star.
"I had to help Twilight and her friends. I've been given a spell to take me to them."
"You're going there alone?" ask Jasmine, "Why can we came with you? Merissa is too dangers."
"Don't worry about me, I know what to do and I won't be alone. Even I made new friends, you all are still my friends. No matter we're a part, you'll always be in my heart and you'll always make me stronger."
The three ponies were now so happy to hear those words from Ember, that they smiled and say no words.
Ember could feel the magic grow inside of her, as she begins to glow again.
Her friends were surprise to see her like this.
"What does it means Ember?" ask Shooting Star.
Ember didn't say anything, but came with a song.
"I was prepared to do my best,
As what it takes to pass the test.
All those doubts I can dismiss,
Turns out I was prepared for this."
Three ponies were amazed of Ember, how she acted that way and how she glows brighter. Now they understand what she ment to do.
Then they join in her song.
Jasmine. "You clearly just have just what it takes,
To shine with your own, pure light."
Shooting Star. "We knew for sure you would prevail,
Just like Twilight Sparkle ever did."
Arthur. "All those doubts that you can dismiss,
Trust yourself and you cannot miss.
Turns out you were…"
Ember. "Turns out I was…"
Jasmine and Shooting Star, "Turns out you were…"
"Turns out I was…
Arthur, Jasmine and Shooting Star. "Turns out you were prepared for this!"
With such great moment, Ember use Bright's Eyes's magic to send her to Merissa's lair. As she in another blazing ball of light and teleported.
As the three ponies watch her go, they notices something. The fireflies came out and showing the ponies the way back to the valley.
Jasmine had mange to realized and do what Ember said.
"Come on," she suggested to Shooting Star, "let's get back and I bet those fireflies are helping us."
As the two mare walk back to the valley with Arthur still in pain. Shooting Star was wondering about the fireflies, but lucky to have them on their side.
Back at Merissa's lair, the six mares are in deep trouble. Twilight is trying to keep Spike warm and her five best friends are still trapped in the net. While Merissa is prepared a storm to destroy Ponyville, as she send it through the mirror as a portal.
"Merissa please!" Twilight begged, "Don't do this! Do you really what to bring terror to Equestria!?"
"It is my goal." Said Merissa, "My right to do it and there is no creature and no little pony that can stop me. I'll spread my snow of sorrow, my storm of rage and bring the day of cold and darkness.
"As for you my dears, for you have come this far and you shell weakness the dawn of a new world!"
Just then a blazing light came in suddenly, just in front of Merissa and the six ponies and then Ember appeared just in time.
"What!?" Merissa with a shock.
To the ponies' amazement and delight, Ember had survived from the hole she fell.
"Hold on girls." Said Ember, as she use her magic to free the five mare from the net.
"Ember!" whaled Twilight, "Oh, I'm so glad to see you!"
"Sorry I'm late, I just work something and I've got something to surprise you."
"And what is that!?" moaned Merissa.
Ember notice the golden heart in Merissa's right paw and know what to do. She use her magic to reach the heart and use her spark to active its powers.
In a few moments, the markings of the heart began to glow and Ember can feel it. She sense its powers and she must be one with it, for her to the ponies she care and befriends with, as she thought about them.
The golden heart is awaken, it can feel Ember's priest and its energy was so full of pure magic, that it cannot be touch by evil. As it force Merissa to let go of it, by burning her paw.
Twilight and her friends watch with amazement, Twilight wonder how could Ember mange to get to the heart. When she notice her cutie mark, Twilight realized it with widen eyes. Ember is the one, the one who control the power of the golden heart and she doesn't realized it.
The two songs are just like, What my cutie mark is telling me and the reprise of I wasn't prepared for this. Ember is almost like Bloom in the Winx Club, but close like Twilight.
The is only the beginning of the final battle. Let's wait and see.
