So cool! Cold even
I hope nobody will notice I left that hill snowy during last year wrap up
Flying in winter is much better then...
Oh, hehe...
Hey Breeze Rider!
Hey Doodlecute! What's up?
You still haven't cleared that hill yet?
Well... You know...
Time flies fast when I'm here
Come on Breeze Rider. What if the DeNoir family says something?
The DeNoir's? Nah. They may own this land
But we never see them anyways...
Sleep well mother.
It's have been long time since he hasn't been around...
Illusions can't do everything...
One day he will return
I know it. Until then...
I guess I have to grow up by myself
After all... Isn't that some special day?
I'm turning 9 tonight
Happy birthday, Dusk
Time to explore all the secrets
Today I am a kid no more
This destiny calls out to me
After those years I'll smile and soar...
I'll follow the path and the hoovesteps
Left behind by my great grandfather
I'll discover what my grandfather
Did to gain such a huge power...
Today I start my journey
Never to stop until I find
What has happened to my father
Who I am and my peace of mind
Illusions? Dark powers?
What a shame
I expected something... different
I can work with that
Of course you do, my little one
Don't be afraid
For you are me
Pleased to meet you, this will be so fun
And we are just two friends to be
I am the price for those powers
Invincible! That is a fact
I'll borrow that body of ours
And do go think you can fight back
"I won't let you mean monster !"
I doubt that friend just look at me
You're the student and I'm the master
So sit down freeze and let me be
Who do you think I am you weakling
You are just a toy in my hoof
Of all the magics I am the king
And your demise will be the proof
HAHAHAHAHA !
I must admit I'm having quite a good time!
Today's forecast: black clouds!
Witness the return of the curse
Celestia is blind and won't notice
The threat that will make all things worse!
Ha ha ha! Turn off the lights!
Run away!
Hide yourself far, galop and flee
I'll catch you, you are my prey!
Powerless to stop what you see
Hear my words and be afraid!
There will soon be no place to hide
From the shadows and the terror
They will all fall with darkness on...
MY SIDE!!!
My side!
I have all the darkness on my side!
HA ! HA ! HA ! HA ! HA ! HA ! HA ! HA ! HA !
Next patient please!
Ah! Mister Brave. How are you doing?
Things have been fine
Still working on that bridge above the river
Glad to see you're putting all those studies to good use!
Brains and brawl!
And modesty!
Oh come on! You know I'm not like that
I know
Otherwise, I would be the first to let you know
Anyway, you seem in perfect health. Amazing!
What was that?
It's...a tempest!
And it seems to be a big one!
Ponies are flying everywhere!
What's going on?
We are doing what we can, but the wind is quite hard on pushing!
At this rate, the tempest is gonna damage all of Ponyville!
Any ideas on how to solve it?
Well, I not sure sure telling any jokes will do the trick
I have the feeling this wind is magical
Hum... Iris, if the wind is magical, can you detect its source?
I...think...it's coming from the forest
Alright, then.
Stay safe, and I'll go and see what's happening
Good luck!
Hey! Wait!
Doodlecute!
Mr Brave! I'm ever glad to see you!
My friend Star Whistle is in here
Something's wrong...
She doesn't seem well!
She's surrounded by some kind of magic field
Please, help her!
Don't worry, I'll help out however I can
Star, hang on! We're coming!
Help...Me...
Star Whistle!
I'm here to help! What's wrong?
Whoa!
She has no control!
But this has to stop!
Oh...my head...what happened?
By Celestia! What happened here?
Is anypony able to tell me what happened here?
Is anypony wounded?
Is anypony... wanting to hear a joke?
Everything is fine officer
This was the cause of the trouble
What is that?
I was asked to study that ring
When I touched it, my magic got out of control
Then, I...just don't know what happened...
It's okay Star Whistle
Everything's fine now
Let's see that ring then
Hum?
Hey!
Isn't that the crest of the DeNoir's?
I know where they live!
Maybe we should pay them a visit
They might know what's going on
Sounds like a good idea, I'll send the ring to the castle. With a warning
So nopony else gets hurt
Let's go together!
I have a bad feeling about this...
The princess received the ring this morning
It was magical, so I was asked to test it
I tried it, but...
I don't remember after...
Girls, we're here!
Hum...you're sure?
I'm not so sure about this
This isn't very...natural
Well duh!
If it was, I would have cleaned this in 30 seconds flat!
I guess it can't be helped. Here it goes
Well, it's as ugly as it seemed...
We should tend to the sick animals
Alright, Mr Brave?
Could you come with us please? I'm not sure what we gonna find
We should start the investigation before things go too far
I'll go with you
If it's magic, I probably should go too
ROYAL GUARD, SHOW YOURSELVES!
Yeah, real smart. I bet he's all willing to see us now
Stop it guys please, we have better matters to attend to
Those others matters seems awfully complicated
Who's there?
It's us Iris
Were you scared?
N...Yes I was
The animals we took care of outside are recovering
They're doing much better now
That's relief, do you think the others are alright as well?
I hope so, somepony has to stop this
So, the source of the spell is behind that door?
Well...
Wait, you're just going to break the door and shout
Let me try
Hum... hello?
Huh oh
ROYAL GUARD ! FREEZE !
Han?
Mmmmmph mmmph mmmmmph
Freeze? I'm way too evil for that!
He sounds dangerous
It must be the scepter, any idea on how to catch it?
No. Breeze?
Er...Breeze?
You want my scepter? Catch it!
NO!
Donut?
Donut!
Let g ! There's nothing you can do!
I will... stay... in control... of my powers!
This... is the dawn... of DARKNESS!
GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Oh hey! It's works! Cool! See ya!
I didn't foresee that
Maybe there is a spell that I can...
Oh! Well. Maybe an another time
Star!
The spell just stopped
He fell when breeze took the scepter away
Do you think it's like my ring?
Ohhh...my head...
Wh...What happened?
Well...everything began a few hours ago...
And then you woke up
Ah...I see
Well... I still feel a little bit tired
S-Since I'm obviously cured, you should go back to your occupations. I'll be fine
Really!
I should help repair the damages I've done
And the Princess will have to be informed
Perfect! I-I mean... Good luck!
You should rest
You...don't look so well
Will do! Bye!
See you later
Hoho! I'm pretty sure we'll see each other again...
I can't believe this. I'm only been here for 2 days, and I'm already bored beyond belief
Some promotion... Keeper of the Artifacts...
This isn't real guard work!
I should be out there, helping everypony!
Like with Iridescence and the others!
Now THAT was teamwork
Hmm ?
Must have been a cat or something
I miss those ponies... Real stand-up types
I never would have believed Brave and the others would have been able to catch
Breeze and the scepter unless I'd seen it with my own eyes
And then
Star heads back into Ponyville to start repairing the houses
The rest heads back to their various work
I bring my report and the scepter back to Princess Celestia
And what do I get? Stuck walking these lonely corridors for who knows how long
Princess Celestia...
Brah! All this walking is driving me crazy
How long is this corridor anyway?
The Princess said she had to "reflect on the events" and needed all this stuff guarded until then
I don't understand any of this
Magic is always so...overcomplicated
I mean. With everything is going on
I could just walk by the Elements of Harmony like some kind of dream
And I wouldn't even bat an eye...
Huh?
What the hay?
I'm no expert in magic, but I should probably report that to Princess Celestia
I hope, she will give me a real audience this time
Thank you for going with me, Mr Brave
I'm really not that comfortable in a big town
I've known that feeling
Sooo... Do you know why the Princess asked to see you?
Shot! If I knew the Princess would call me for a small wintery hill, I would...
Wait! Maybe it's for something even worse! What did I do?!
Maybe it's not something I have done, but something I haven't?
In any case, she MUST see this
What?
Okay, now I'm terrified
