My Little Pony: Frost Falls

The three princesses focused all their attention on the disappearance of the temple. They did not notice that Fengdu was no longer with them, but walked to the center of the main hall of the castle alone.

He raised his head, and in front of him was a huge stone sculpture of a pony.

Teacher Xingxuan——

This stone sculpture was made by members of the Star Swirl Joint Committee.

It is a stone statue that symbolizes the three major races of Equestria - an earth pony in a half-crouched posture, a unicorn with its front half raised on its shoulders, and a pegasus in flight on top.

This is a statue that means peace.

The moment he arrived at the castle, he inexplicably wanted to visit here.

He stayed alone for a long time.

It wasn't until Aimor turned around and found that he was missing from Fengdu, and she and the two princesses searched anxiously everywhere, that they discovered that he had come here silently.

"Why did you come here by yourself without saying a word!"

After finding the horse, Aimo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Fengdu would suddenly disappear like Xingxuan.

"...What are you looking at?" Aimo followed his line of sight and landed on the statue in front of her.

What Fengdu is looking at at this moment is the unicorn among the three statues, or its horn to be precise.

"what have you found?"

Aimo walked to Fengdu and stood side by side with him.

Fengdu suddenly said: "Look at the corners of the statue -"

After hearing this, Aimo looked carefully and found that the corners of the statue were indeed strange. Its lines became very light, and occasionally there was a trace of magic flowing through it.

Aimo and Fengdu looked at each other, and at the same time, in tacit agreement, they released magic beams at the corners of the statue.

Once the magic power was injected, the remaining magic power on it was stimulated, and the stone corners suddenly glowed, and the entire statue began to glow.

Immediately afterwards, a more dazzling light flashed out from the corner of the statue, first flying high, then slowly falling, and stopped right in front of Fengdu.

The light dimmed, and a book appeared out of nowhere in the magic power. It was a book with a dark blue cover, with irregular-sized cyan-blue five-pointed stars scattered on it, and the bottom surface had patterns of magic power flowing.

The Universe Princess recognized the book at a glance: "This is the teacher's diary."

Princess Moon also said: "Brother, look what's written in it?"

Fengdu followed his instructions and opened the diary. The entire article was filled with the teacher's familiar handwriting. One of the pages has brand new handwriting, and it looks like it was written just recently. The content on it is as follows:

[…The best qualities in us spread light and virtue, and these best qualities are strength, courage, healing, beauty, hope, and witchcraft. 】

[I and other members of the Support Committee were called by a pony to preserve and share these wonderful qualities. But we soon realized that the pony who summoned us just wanted to keep all the magic for himself! 】

[In order to prevent him from taking away these magics, we expelled him. But no one expected that in order to satisfy his greed, this pony went crazy and became the Shadow Pony! Later, he returns for revenge, seeking to extinguish the light of the temple and rob the world of its hope. 】

[To stop him, we must make sacrifices. However, we must leave a seed of hope that will grow into a force in the future that can resist the dark forces at any time. 】

[Now, we must face this demon, risking the only way we can. 】

【I just hope to succeed...】

This is the last sentence in the book, Star Swirl's message.

"That pony must be Stygian." Aimor said with certainty.

Bongdu told her about the pony, and she felt it was a pity. He was a rare wise man, but he was seduced and corrupted by the darkness in his heart.

The Universe Princess hesitated: "So Teacher and the others are going to deal with the Shadow Horse... But what does 'a sacrifice must be made' mean? And what is the 'only way'?"

Princess Moon said in despair: "So, we still don't know the whereabouts of the teacher..."

"That's not necessarily true. The answer may be in this book, but we haven't discovered it yet." Aimo took the notebook and read it carefully from beginning to end.

She quickly turned to an extremely scrawled note, and she struggled to identify it, "This should be - at the foot of Mount Hinama, with the help of the magic of the stone circle, our final battle will begin..."

The princess of the universe heard this and said: "The stone circle formation, the teacher said, it is a temple relic left over from the Yellow Demon era, and its magic power is very powerful."

Princess Moon agreed, "Then it looks like that's where the teacher last appeared."

As the rulers of Equestria, they had no idea that Teacher Xingxuan and the others had been facing such big trouble.

The Shadow Horse has been corrupted for a long time. He has been trying to plunge Equestria into darkness and rob light and hope.

But none of the ponies had even heard of it, which showed that the committee really protected them very well.

"Then let's head to Hinama Mountain."

"and many more--"

Fengdu put the Xingxuan diary in the backpack he carried with him, and then looked up at them: "Aimor, you can stay here."

Aimo immediately asked, "Why?"

"Listen to me, you have never dealt with Stigian. He is... difficult to deal with now. It is too dangerous. You are princesses and have greater responsibilities. You must not let anything happen."

"I'll just go."

Aimo sneered: "You mean, if there is an accident, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice? What about me! What do you think of me!"

"Aimor, you know, I didn't mean...that-" midway through her words, her voice dropped weakly.

"You dare to say you haven't thought about it this way!"

Fengdu opened his mouth, unable to refute. He didn't dare to admit and couldn't deny that he did think so in his heart.

It was his responsibility that Stygian became what he was. He thought that if he really got to that point, if his sacrifice could bring peace, then everything would be worth it.

As soon as Aimo saw his silent expression, she knew she had guessed correctly, and immediately laughed angrily and said: "Okay, okay, then I will make it clear here today - either we go together, or no one else Go! Think about it yourself."

"Senior brother——"

"Princess Amore, please calm down first——"

The princess of the universe shook her head to indicate to her sister that it was useless to persuade her at this time, neither of them would listen.

Internal strife broke out before they set off, and the atmosphere became tense for a while. The two princess sisters looked at this and that, not knowing how to persuade them.

Then I thought about it, they were a couple and they might reconcile in a while. It would be a disservice to them to try to persuade her now.

It's better to be quiet.

Aimo was furious for a moment just after hearing Fengdu's words, and yelled out. After venting her emotions, she calmed down a lot.

But she was still angry. When Qi Fengdu encountered danger, his first thought was to leave her aside and face it alone.

Now that they have gotten married and formed a new family, they should share the joys and sorrows and never leave each other no matter where they are.

Taking a deep breath, Aimo turned around and asked the two sisters to follow her, passing by Fengdu without looking away.

It's better to separate and calm down for a while, don't get angry and say something that the other person will regret.
