The Dream Realm:

Earth And Nature

In The Dream Realms…

Twilight has found herself waking up in the Dream Realms again after passing out in the arena. Up ahead, Twilight simply flies down to another platform with another glowing elemental circle, only this one is glowing a green color, which means two more elements for her to unlock. As the scarred Alicorn Warrior came for a landing and looked into the circle, appearing before her were two spirits of two more members of the Pillars.

One spirit was a large pale and light grayish cyan Earth Pony Stallion with a light cyanish gray muzzle, moderate gamboge mane and tail with light gold, grayish blue eyes, and his cutie mark were of a Valknut. This pony is known by many as Rockhoof.

The next pony spirit is a light cerulean Earth Pony Mare with Brilliant turquoise eyes, her mane and tail were a pink and moderate scarlet color. And she appears to be a type of healer as well. This is Mage Meadowbrook, or Meadowbrook for short.

After Twilight has arrived at the glowing elemental circle and looked into it for something that could help her and her friends, she saw Rockhoof and Meadowbrook approaching her to greet her.

"Twilight Sparkle, so good to see you here in these Dream Realms, Lass," Rockhoof said, welcoming Twilight back to the Dream Realms in his Scottish accent.

"Yes, you and your friends have come very far, Alicorn Warrior," Meadowbrook said in a Cajun Louisiana Accent, feeling quite impressed about how far Twilight and her friends have come very close to the end of their journey.

"What? Rockhoof, Meadowbrook. Celestia and Luna said that you guys and the Oracle would help us. But for some reason, I feel like we're being led to a path to nowhere," Twilight pointed out, having a bit of doubt in her voice about the Pillars and the Oracle leading her and her friends down a path that they aren't familiar with.

"Aye, lassie. But our paths in life is not always the path we choose. Sometimes our paths are chosen for us…," Rockhoof advised, explaining to Twilight what it means when it comes to taking the paths of those that are chosen.

"...Which is why it is our destiny to follow that path wherever it may lead," Meadowbrook finished as Twilight closed her eyes and shook her head in disbelief before hopping up onto the glowing elemental circle and closing her eyes, ready to unlock more of her powers.

"Now, be steady, Twilight. And use the power of both Earth and Nature to feel your way…," Rockhoof advised to Twilight as she focused on her magic, feeling a new power awaken in her, and readies herself to use the elements of Earth and Nature.

Like the last two times, Twilight slowly rises up and inhales, feeling the power of Earth and Nature flowing through her and felt her body becoming much tougher, as all around her small pebbles and leaves were beginning to surround her and spin around until they were fully built up.

Twilight then unleashes the powers of Earth and Nature across the Dream Realm. Now she has regained and unleashed her Earth and Nature Fury Attacks and is starting to feel more powerful than before.

"The powers of Earth and Nature is a mighty one, Twilight. Just like Strength and Healing, as our world moves, so do the plants and animals in it," Meadowbrook advised, being impressed by how Twilight is being steady with her powers now.

"Aye, make sure to be mindful as you wield those powers, Twilight," Rockhoof added, reminding Twilight to be mindful of the Earth and Nature Magic she now reawakened.

"Now that you have reawakened your Nature and Earth Magic, Twilight. Follow the floating platforms to test your new abilities," Meadowbrook said as the wall of Earth and Nature Magic disappeared.

Following the floating platforms, Twilight had to use her Alicorn Time Magic to slow a platform that flipped upside down as it flipped right side up. Seeing her chance, Twilight jumped onto the platform and turned off her Alicorn Time Magic as she quickly jumped onto another platform before reaching the next one, where more stone knights are standing.

When Twilight made it to the platform, Rockhoofs' Spirit appeared, about to give Twilight instructions on how to use her new Earth Magic abilities.

"Use your Earth Magic to summon the Earth Magic Flail. This will help you swing your enemies around," Rockhoof said, instructing Twilight on how to use the Earth Magic Flail on her enemies to defeat them.

As the Stone Knights began to approach her, Twilight's horn began glowing a dark green color, and she shot a strand of Earth Magic out and swung it against the Stone Knights, defeating them in the process.

After defeating the Stone Knights, two more floating platforms appeared, leading to another. Twilight followed the platforms, along with using her Alicorn Time Magic again, to reach the next platform where four more Stone Knights are standing.

Meadowbrook's spirit appeared about to give Twilight some instructions on how to use her new Nature Magic abilities.

"Time for you to use the Nature Pound Attack, Twilight. This attack is very useful to knock down your surrounding enemies so you can follow through with an air combo," Meadowbrook said, instructing further as Twilight nodded her head in understanding as the knights began to approach her again.

But Twilight quickly jumped into the air, and then used her Nature Magic to shoot a large strong vine down on the Knights with force. Which means she had used the Nature Pound Attack on the Knights, defeating them once again.

Four more floating platforms appeared, leading to yet another platform. Of course, two platforms were moving but Twilight used her Time Magic once more to slow things down on her way. When Twilight made it to the next platform, she saw the area has some big chunks of rubble. Rockhoof's spirit appeared, about to instruct Twilight about using more of her Earth Magic.

"Now, Twilight. Not only can you use your Earth Magic Flail to swing at your enemies. But you could also use them to destroy the objects in your way. Try destroying these rocks to pass this one," Rockhoof said, telling Twilight about other things she can use the Earth Magic Flail for.

Using the Flail again, Twilight was able to destroy all four rocks that are standing on top of some orb tables. Now that they are free, the orbs released an elemental strand that went for the gate of Earth Magic. Not long after, three more floating platforms appeared as the wall of Earth Magic disappeared, allowing Twilight to go through and follow.

After jumping quickly from one flipping platform to the next and arriving at the main platform, Twilight finds herself being teleported to another platform with purple gems in the center and Stone Knights surrounding her. The Spirits of Rockhoof and Meadowbrook appeared again, about to give the final instructions to Twilight.

"Now for your final training instruction, Lass, you must defeat the enemies to fill up your Fury Attack and then unleash the Fury Attack of Earth," Rockhoof said, giving Twilight his final instruction on Earth Magic.

"And after that, unleash the Fury Attack of Nature to complete this training," Meadowbrook instructed further as the Stone Knights started to move and began to approach Twilight to attack her.

But using her Earth Magic Flail and Nature Magic Pound Attack, Twilight was able to defeat them with ease as more and more kept coming to attack her and Twilight still managed to defeat them without a sweat, just like the last two times she faced them. And once she felt her Fury Attack had been refilled, and the enemies surrounded her, Twilight rose up into the air, concentrated on her Earth magic, the platform began to shake as rocks appeared and started to spin around, and…

BOOM!

Twilight has unleashed her Earth Fury Attack.

The Stone Knights find themselves being blasted away by a shockwave and bombarded in the air by falling rocks before all of them were defeated again.

But Twilight wasn't done just yet, because as more Stone Knights appeared and surrounded her again, Twilight rose into the air, concentrated on her Nature Magic, and a huge magical aura of a tree with falling leaves' appeared, and…

BOOM!

Twilight has unleashed her Nature Magic Fury Attack.

The Stone Knights find themselves being pounded and tangled by the large vines that grew out of the platform defeated. This means that Twilight has been shown to have steadied her element of Magic, Air, Water, Nature, and Earth, and has completed her test of reawakening her Nature and Earth magic.

With her exercise of reawakening her Nature and Earth Magic being a complete success, Twilight enters the dream temple again, this time with Rockhoof and Meadowbrook walking alongside her. But as they walked, Meadowbrook could sense that there was something in Twilight's mind as she turned to the scarred Alicorn Warrior and asked her a question…

"Are you alright, Twilight? You seem to be having something up in your mind," Meadowbrook asked, sensing that Twilight wanted to ask them about something as she and Rockhoof faced her.

"My friends and I want to know what is happening in our world. I mean I've done what Starswirl, Flash Magnus, and Mistmane asked of me and followed the Oracle's path," Twilight said, getting a little agitated about how her questions about what was happening were going unanswered and that the path she and her friends are following is getting them nowhere close to the answer.

"Aye, that is true, young Twilight. But there will come a time when you and your friends have to choose your own paths in life," Rockhoof advised, knowing that there will be a time when Twilight and her friends will have to walk their own paths instead of following those chosen for them.

"And so far, you're not ready for that yet, Twilight. Now, open your eyes…," Meadowbrook said as they came to a stop, gesturing for Twilight to look at the vision pool as she was about to receive another vision, coming into her mind…

When Twilight opened her eyes, she saw that in her vision was the Well Of Souls, aka, The Mountain Of Dreadmane standing out in the horizon of the distance, and above it was the Sun and Moon slowly coming together. Then Twilight saw members of the Dark Army marching and climbing up the dreadful mountain, which has got her quite puzzled and concerned.

"Wait, why are they going towards it?" Twilight asked, puzzled and becoming a little bit scared about seeing the Dark Army heading towards the Mountain and climbing to the top of it.

"It is their calling, Twilight. The black-hearted creatures of Equestria cannot resist its temptation," Meadowbrook said with fear, explaining to Twilight about the black-hearted creatures being drawn to the mountain by the calling while showing the Ape Creatures still climbing and entering the mountain, shrieking and hollering.

"Aye, The Well Of Souls beckons them as The Eclipse Of Infinite Darkness approaches," Rockhoof said in the same tone, explaining further about the Well Of Souls and the Creatures approaching it.

"What exactly is the Eclipse Of Infinite Darkness?" Twilight asked with worry, she remembered hearing Gaia say something like that but never heard of it before.

"It is an event when the Sun and Moon come together in a great eclipse. Shrouding our world in darkness…," Meadowbrook explained, showing Twilight the Sun and Moon slowly coming together in a great Eclipse, which looked like to be happening in 1 day, and that is not like any other.

"And the Well Of Souls is the pinnacle of its terrible shadow. Which allows the stirring of the spirits of the deceased beasts and monsters from their infinite rests…," Rockhoof said next, explaining further as he showed Twilight the deceased creatures who have been awakened by the Eclipse.

"...And permitting them to roam freely within the halls of the mountains. If not only for a short while," Meadowbrook added, knowing that the eclipse will only allow the spirits of the deceased to escape for a short while.

"Alas, the Eclipse Of Infinite Darkness will upon us and all of Equestria," Rockhoof said, showing the Sun slowly being covered up by the Moon, which means the Eclipse Of Infinite Darkness is about to begin.

"Find the Oracle, Twilight. Find him in the Celestial Caves Of The White Isle," Meadowbrook said, ordering Twilight to find the Oracle before everything became nothing but a big white haze…

Which means Twilight…is about to return once again…
