My Little Pony: Frost Falls

The sky was covered with shadows, and the entire empire seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, forming dots of stars, but it cannot reach the ground. Even the sun cannot penetrate the heavy shadows, and the oppressive atmosphere spreads.

The Crystal Ponies were all trembling with fear, not daring to speak, and hurried in and out.

Depression loomed in every pony's heart.

All of this originated from the thick black fog that suddenly appeared around the empire three days ago.

As time went by, it even got closer and closer to the empire. The Crystal Ponies all thought of King Sembula and the fear of being dominated thousands of years ago...

Half a month ago——

Densely packed express letters flew to Canterlot Central City like snowflakes.

The princess and her sister read through it all, and all of it was very bad news:

——To the Princess of the Universe:

Our city is facing an unprecedented crisis! Many ponies have fallen ill for unknown reasons, and the scary thing is that their cutie marks have disappeared with the disease, without exception. Even the magic of unicorns cannot be used. We suspect that this is an unprecedented case of a cutie mark epidemic. I hope you can help! From all the ponies in Lomaki!

——To Princess Celestia and Princess Moon:

Princess, we need help! A terrible monster appeared in the forest. It doesn't eat ponies, but it steals our love! No pony has ever seen the monster's appearance. We only know that it is black and huge. Please forgive me for being rude, but we can't lose our love! Please send a guard to save us as soon as possible! From the White Tail Forest and the White Tail Village!

——From Her Royal Highness the Princess:

As the mayor, I really regret that I am so incompetent! But Your Highness, those terrible bugs are back! Unfortunately, a fierce insect nest has broken out in Little Madafia again, and they eat everything! The food in the entire Little Madafia is almost eaten up by them, and we really can't hold on for much longer!

Your Highnesses, I sincerely hope that this letter can be delivered successfully and the people of Dafia can wait for rescue! Mayor of Little Madafia, Milochi respectfully presents!

——To the princesses...

……

Almost every letter starts like this, with nothing but requests for help. Suddenly, disasters are spreading all over Equestria's territory!

The two princesses were so busy that they almost sent out all the royal guards of Canterlot. But distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Seeing the disaster getting worse and worse, there were only a few ponies available, and even the two princesses had to take turns to go out to quench the disaster.

At this moment, a special letter from Ponyville arrived like a timely rain, from Twilight Sparkle's castle: "Dear Princess Celestial: I am sorry that I only learned about the situation in Equestria now. You know, just yesterday, Ponyville also suffered an unprovoked attack, but my friends and I quickly resolved it. After hearing the news, my friends and I decided to take the Element of Harmony to Ponyhill and other places where the situation is the most serious. Spike will also follow. Once there is any new situation, I will write to you and Princess Luna. Your loyal student, Twilight Sparkle."

After reading the letter, Princess Moon looked solemn: "Even with Twilight Sparkle and the others' help, there are still many cities that need support."

Princess Celestia sighed, and used her magic to direct the quill to quickly reply: "Yeah - this is so strange, how could so many things happen at the same time?"

The two princesses turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and naturally read the suspicion in each other's eyes, and their hearts sank.

It seems that things are not simple.

The most urgent task was to quell the chaos on all sides. The two princesses carefully discussed the matter of sending personnel and made backup plans to prevent possible future crises.

Perhaps because there was too much chaos and confusion, the two princesses did not notice that somewhere, a storm was about to come!

-

The sky was covered with shadows. Outside the Crystal Empire, dull thunder rumbled. The wind howled, blowing the snow heavily to the ground, and soon a thick layer of snow accumulated.

Such weather often makes it difficult for the ponies to move.

However, outside the Crystal Empire is a vast snowfield, and bad weather is common.

Therefore, no pony noticed the impending danger under the extreme snow and wind. At first, the sky just became more gloomy, and winter was approaching, which was normal.

Later, wisps of gray fog mixed with snowflakes spread silently to the entire northern snowfield.

It was not until half a month later, when the gray fog deepened into black fog and became so thick that it almost became substantial and surrounded the entire periphery of the Crystal Empire, that the border patrol discovered something was wrong and hurriedly informed the princess.

Afterwards, the Crystal Empire sounded the second-level alert, and the light blue protective force field was like an inverted giant bowl hanging over the empire.

The ponies inside couldn't get out, and the ponies outside couldn't get in.

For a time, the empire was cut off from the outside world.

Even with the protection of the barrier, the Crystal Ponies could still see the sky overhead, which was getting darker.

This can't go on like this!

The ponies tried to comfort themselves: "Calm down! Calm down! The Crystal Empire has two princesses in charge, and the previous queen has returned to us... That's right! There's nothing to be afraid of!"

"We have to believe in the princess!"

"Yes, believe the princess!"

……

Frost lowered the curtain, not daring to look outside at the hopeful Crystal Pony.

Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were searching the bookshelves for information, and Frost turned around and joined them in the search.

Fengxue Zhixin sat obediently on the cushion on the desk, staring at her busy parents and aunt with curious eyes.

Fengxuezhixin was already one year old and knew that he shouldn't disturb them now, so he sat upright.

The books that Shuangjiang had flipped through had already piled up like a small mountain beside her - she really didn't have the energy to put them back in place. She looked at Princess Yinyun with some disappointment. There were even more books piled around them. "Any clues?"

"Not yet - to be honest, I still don't know how they are arranged!" Princess Yinyun replied without even looking up, the pages of the book in front of her flipping rustlingly.

Shining Armor agreed: "Me too."

"Is there really any hope if we keep searching like this?" Shuangjiang couldn't help but ask.

Fortunately, Crystal Heart has stored enough magic power in recent years and can release magic on its own. But she also has a hunch that Crystal Heart will soon need her and Yinyun's magic to supplement it.

Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?

Frost touched his chest, and suddenly he glanced out the window as if he had sensed something. It was too far away, so naturally he saw nothing.

She quickly turned back and continued looking for a book.

And in the place that Frost could not see, in the shadows, a pair of scarlet eyes full of evil gradually appeared.

——That’s Sembula.

After half a month of silence, the desire for destruction in his heart had already reached its peak. His eyes drifted towards the castle protected by the force field, and he was already determined to win it.

You failed to kill Ai Mo, but a thousand years later, you managed to bring her back to life. I really underestimated you, Shuangjiang.

But it doesn't matter. Reuniting you with your mother is my last kindness to you.

Soon, the Crystal Empire will be mine again. Just thinking about this, Sombra's heart was filled with joy, and he chuckled.

Frost Descent, looking forward to our meeting again.

This time, I will never give you the chance to escape.
