My Little Pony: Changelings

Chapter 170: Heart of Snowstorm (2)

"Shining Armor? I didn't expect you to be here to greet us."

When Twilight Sparkle saw her brother, she ran over impatiently, and Shining Armor looked much older. After hearing his sister's call, he shook his head and said happily to Twilight Sparkle.

"Of course, it's me. I'm here to see my lovely sister. It's not like I haven't seen her before...hahaha~"

Qunxing Huanghuang poked Suilong next to him, then lowered his head and whispered.

"Look, our Shining Armor has gone crazy like Twilight Sparkle."

Twilight Sparkle shook her ears, turned around and gave Starlight a quick look, then walked over and stretched out her hoof to comfort Shining Armor.

"Are you okay? You don't look right."

"Of course, being a dad is great, it's wonderful, it's awesome, it's awesome, it's annoying, it's awesome. And there are surprises, you know? No, you don't. How would you know that? You know?"

The ponies blinked in respect, and Shining Armor sighed.

"I'm sorry, I haven't slept a wink since the baby was born. Of course, Yinyun is the same. I really want to rest."

"Oh, of course. I didn't expect that. You look like you could use some help."

"Perhaps I can take on this job temporarily until you find a nanny."

Radiant Hope stood out from behind the pony, holding her chest with her hoof and speaking. Shining Armor also saw the two of them at this time and spoke to Radiant Hope and the others happily.

"Oh my goodness, I didn't expect the mail pony could find you guys, if it was possible, thank you so much."

"That's nothing. Although I have never taken care of a child, I have read many books about medicine, haven't I?"

Shining Armor didn't reply, but just fell asleep standing up. Starlight Glimmer decided to say goodbye to Twilight Sparkle and the others for the time being, and planned to go to Sunshine's house first to give them a surprise. And Starlight Glimmer also said that she was going to look for an old friend, so she would not go to the Crystal Castle for the time being.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not those idiots from the Wasteland Shadow Fiends... er... sorry, Sombra."

"I'm used to it."

Sombra rolled his eyes, indicating that he had expected this, and then Radiant Hope waved his hoof at him, indicating that he was following. Sombra followed behind them.

So the ponies split into three teams, separated at the train station, and went to different places.

Inside the castle, Shining Armor took them to the door of the castle's bedroom, where he stopped them and then spoke to them.

"I have to tell you before you go in, so as not to scare you. Seeing the baby might scare you."

"Oh, it's just a baby, how can it be scared?"

"Yes, the child was just a little naughty. It's no big deal."

After the ponies opened the door, Twilight Sparkle ran over first. What came into view was the baby pony lying in the crib, with pink and purple hair curled by her ears, a white horn, and pink skin.

Radiant Hope stretched out her hoof to play with the baby, but suddenly a pair of large wings stretched out from the baby's blanket. The ponies were all surprised to see this scene.

"The baby is an Alicorn!"

"Yes, that's true."

"But I thought Alicorns only grow after doing something great?"

"Yeah, how can it be born that way?"

"No, there are two types of Alicorns: born Alicorns and made Alicorns."

Just when the ponies were confused, Sombra stepped up and said something. At first, he was also shocked when he saw the baby Alicorn, but then he reacted and began to explain.

"Princess Sun and Moon were born Alicorns, and Princess Cadence and Princess Twilight Sparkle became Alicorns later in life, but... this is Equestria, and this kind of thing hasn't happened in a long time..."

"What Soraya said is correct. This is indeed the case. This situation is beyond our understanding."

Princess Luna stepped forward and added, while Princess Celestia spoke to Sombra.

"It's nice to see you again, Sombra."

"Me too, Princess."

The other ponies were very happy for the baby Alicorn and were describing their beautiful future. At this moment, the baby Alicorn sneezed and went straight through the ceiling of the castle.

"Her magic is much stronger than any other Alicorn baby born."

"The people have gathered, and the time for the Crystal Ceremony is approaching."

Looking at the baby Alicorn lying on her hooves, Princess Ursuline was a little hesitant, but for the safety of the people, she was ready to put forward her opinion.

"Why don't we cancel the crystal ceremony?"

When the other ponies heard this, they tried to dissuade him and hoped that Radiance would step forward and say that she could take good care of the baby. Princess Celestia expressed her admiration for this former excellent student and then left with Princess Cadence.

Shining Armor said that he still had many tasks to do. Sombra felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay here, so he decided to help the Shining Armor who was always dozing off.

Things in the castle are going on in an orderly manner... No wonder!

Starlight Glimmer quietly walked to the door of Sunlight Glimmer's room and knocked. The door opened a crack and an eye poked out.

"Who? Oh, Starlight Glimmer, you're here."

"That's right, Sunshine, I'm here to see you."

"That's really great, so...how about I take you around the Crystal Empire?"

“That’s a great idea.”

So Starlight Glimmer and Sunlight Shining started strolling around the Crystal Empire. First, Sunlight Shining took Starlight Glimmer to a crystal antique stall.

"Look, Starlight Glimmer, this store is one of my favorites. There are all kinds of fun things in it. Look at this crystal, isn't it great?"

Starlight Glimmer looked at the two identical crystals in front of her in confusion, feeling that there was no difference. However, in order to please Sunlight Glimmer's heart, she still smiled awkwardly, indicating that she already knew it.

"Oh, and this one, legend has it that this is the black crystal left over from the Crystal Empire during the reign of King Sombra. You should really take a look at this."

"That would be awesome."

Starlight Glimmer looked at the black crystal in front of her with some curiosity. There seemed to be a faint trace of magic power remaining on it, but it felt a little different from the aura of the black crystal. It seemed different?

The wind was freezing and the sound was piercing. Qunxinghuang stood there in the wind and snow, looking at the Crystal Empire behind him. This direction should be correct, so his eyes unconsciously turned into crescent shapes.

"Soris~hiss~"
