My Little Pony: Frost Falls

Sombra put his hood back on and left the place in a daze.

The old librarian watched his departing back, took another sip of tea calmly, lowered his head to look at the gap in the reflection in the cup and let out a light sigh.

As an old woman, there's really nothing I can do. I just hope that after hearing the truth, he'll change his mind a little.

"That's what you think, right, Princess Aime?" the administrator suddenly asked.

The huge library echoed, and soon a figure appeared behind the old lady. With a mane of pink and purple, and a small pearl crown on her head, who else could it be but Princess Amo?

The tall unicorn approached and bowed to the old pony, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. I'm honored to work for Her Royal Highness the Princess." The old lady collected the teacup she had drunk from and brewed a new cup of tea for the princess. "It's just that I can't understand one thing. Now that you know that Senbula is their descendant, why do you still want to give him a chance?"

I thought you would hate Sombra as much as you hate those beings underground.

Ai Mo sat down, and Mofa held the teacup for a long time without drinking.

After a long while, she whispered, "I just don't want to see any more sacrifices."

Especially since it might be my daughter who would be sacrificed.

……

Many times, ponies will picture in their minds what will happen in the future and hope that it will develop in the way they expect in their minds.

But they forget that hope is just hope.

The reason why the future is the future is that it cannot be predicted. Who can accurately say whether the next moment will be a surprise or an accident?

Just like now, Aime had hoped that the truth about the feud between the two races could awaken Sombra's last conscience, but she never expected that these truths would directly cause Sombra's sanity to collapse, and he attacked the Crystal Empire at lightning speed!

……

The black fog that had clearly retreated suddenly turned around, quickly closing in like an out-of-control tsunami, rising high up and rushing towards the Crystal Empire with the largest area possible!

The aqua-blue barrier suddenly vibrated violently, creating layers of ripples on the surface.

Shining Armor reacted quickly and immediately organized the Royal Guard to guard the empire's border, while a team composed entirely of unicorns was responsible for replenishing the magic power of the barrier.

The Crystal Ponies also put aside their fear and resisted bravely. Those who could provide support provided support, those who could go to the battlefield went to the front lines, and those who were unable to fight followed orders and headed for the basement of the castle for safety.

All unicorns accepted the call and provided support with magic power, allowing tall and colorful crystals to break out of the ground at the border of the empire and form a new line of defense.

They all knew in their hearts that the barrier would not last much longer, and all the ponies were on high alert.

Soon, the black fog gathered its strength and launched a second attack.

"boom--"

This time, countless cracks appeared in the barrier instantly, so densely packed that it seemed as if it would collapse in the next second!

The black fog turned over consciously, eager to enter through the crack.

"Buzz——" The crystal castle in the center suddenly burst into an incomparably dazzling light. The light rose with the castle and turned into a beam of light that poured straight into the barrier. All the cracks disappeared, leaving a mirror-like surface.

The black fog roared angrily, expanded its body again and slammed heavily into the barrier, but this time it didn't even tremble.

Shining Armor couldn't help but look back at the castle. It was a close call just now. The barrier was almost broken. When facing the Black Mist Crystal Pony, the combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced!

Seizing the opportunity, Shining Armor raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors, our princess is doing her best to support the barrier to protect everyone. We must not lose to that evil guy Senbula like this! Follow me and kill him with all your strength!!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The crystals growing outside the barrier have a purifying effect. The black fog cannot force its way through, so pony-like shadows continuously roll down from the invisible body - shadow soldiers.

They nimbly bypassed the crystals and piled up at a certain barrier in a suicidal manner, hoping to corrode and create a gap.

What the Shining Armor and Guard soldiers have to do is to kill them before they get close to the barrier.

Because they are originally intangible shadows, the so-called killing is actually to disperse them. After a period of time, they will gather again and turn into new shadow soldiers, and this goes on endlessly.

In the crystal exhibition hall, three princesses formed a triangle around the crystal heart. They closed their eyes tightly, and the magic power on their corners flowed towards the crystal heart as if being drawn, merged into it, and finally emitted through the castle to replenish the barrier.

Only these three people's magic power can be directly delivered to the Crystal Heart.

The rest of the crystal unicorns followed the soldiers and repaired the gaps caused by the shadow soldiers in a timely manner.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

The black fog above launched three crazy attacks in a row. Although the barrier was fine, Princess Amo below had turned pale at some point.

Frost felt something and opened his eyes quickly, and saw Amo across from him with cold sweat on her face: "Mother, you can't hold on any longer!"

Ai Mo's magic power had not yet fully recovered, and this degree of withdrawal was too much for her to bear.

However, she pretended not to hear what Shuangjiang said and persevered with gritted teeth.

"Mother!"

Frost spread its wings and flew over, severing the connection between her and the crystal heart, and forced her back behind him, continuing to supply magic power in her place.

As soon as Ai Mo left, she couldn't help but bend over and cough. Her face was still pale, but she couldn't take a rest at this moment. After finally calming down her cough, she instinctively looked up.

Yinyun also had some cold sweat on her head. Seeing Aimo looking at her, she forced a smile and said, "Aunt, you should take a rest first. We can still hold on."

As he was speaking, Black Mist launched another attack. Yin Yun trembled in pain as if she had been attacked. Her knees softened for a moment and she almost fell to her knees. "Ugh—" She couldn't help but groan.

Frostfall couldn't see her from where she was standing at that moment: "Sister, are you okay?"

"...I'm fine." Yinyun stood up again.

This feeling is so familiar - when the Crystal Empire just returned, they provided magic power to protect the empire in this way, and it is the same now.

The crystal heart floated between the crystal pillars, and the whole thing was trembling slightly due to the influx of magic power, and it was flashing with light.

The light fell into his eyes, and then into his heart, creating a tsunami in his heart.

Even though they didn't say anything, Shuangjiang still knew that they couldn't hold on forever. Especially Yinyun, she didn't have enough magic power, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on if the black fog launched a few more attacks.

And the Crystal Ponies on the periphery. Those shadow soldiers are invulnerable and indestructible, and they keep coming. But they are different. They bleed, feel pain, and get tired. They can hold on today, but what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow? Can they hold on forever?

No.

Frost didn't dare close her eyes again, because as soon as she closed them, she could seem to see the tragic scene of the ponies bleeding and falling to the ground.

War, war again.

If only there were no war...
