On the Second day of ‘Warmings eve, My silver gave to me…

Two Heartwarming stories

And Some Much needed Company~!

Silver woke up with a start in twilights old room, the purple unicorn attached to his side in a tight hug. SIlver noticed a horriblke pain is his head and remeber last night, but he got up anyways, besides, he’d have much worse hangovers in the past, and probably the future. silver went downstairs, careful not to wake anyone up, he grabbed a grass of water and drank. afterwords, he laid down on the couch and rested for a bit, he had nodded off for celestia knwos how long untill he was aoken by twilight and mr.sparkle. “atill working off that hangover, boy?” he said, lying down on a different couch and putting his hooves to his temples. “yeah” silver said simply. After a while everyone just sort of migrated down stairs

So everyone gathered around to chat and eat some breakfast (some pankakes made by the lovely Ms. Sparkle) and as everyone gathered around to eat, Cadence spoke up to ask silver a question

“Hey silver? What was Hearth Warming eve like up in alicornia? I know you guys didn’t celebrate it, but did you have anything like it?” That caused silver to give some pause.

“Well cadence, we did have Ascension Day, A day to be thatful for our brothers and sisters and to commemorate unity in the face of hopelessness, so that is the closest thing we have.”

Everypony seemed very intersted

“Tell us about it silver!”
“What was it about?”
“This seems really intersting!”

Silver smiled “Ok, fine, I’ll tell you the story”

Silver took a deep breath, and began.

“Well, if i have my history right, thousands and thousands of years ago, before the two sisters, and before discord, even before the days of harth’s warming eve -if i did my research correctly-- there was a powerful alicorn, so power that is possesed the poweer of every pony that was to exist. This alicorn was giant, and it glided in the water miles below the surface in it’s realm.

One day, the alicorn was on it’s perpetual gliding trip when i came across a crystal, this crystal glowed with a brilliant brightness, so brilliant that the alicorn couldn’t keep it’s self away, and it went over ot it. the alicorn placed a hoof on the crystal and it glowed even more, he could feel power inside of him. he figured that the crystal was one of the gods, so he grabbed the gound around the crystal and brought it up to the surface, but the surface of the water was not high enough for the other gods to see, so he raised it up even further to where it just broke the cloud layer.

The alicorn asked the other gods if it belonged to them, but no one owned up to it. the alicorn as confused, and as he went to touch the crystal once more, all of his energy, and his soul was sucked out of him, and shrank and feel onto the the ground, the floating peice of land began to float down and balanced about a mile above the sea, and there, the crystal broke into six other peices and sucked some of the energy from the other elements, and thus the island of alicornia was made, eventually grass started growing, as well as trees, and the crystal, now know as the power core, began forming alicorns with essence of one the seven elements. what happen to the alicorn that found the crystal is unknown, but most agree that he became the first king, and i’ve been told i’m his direct decedant.”

silver was breathing heavily “phew, that was quite a mouth ful” said silver he smiled as everyone (Twilight the history buff was the most enthralled)
“but who knows if that’s true anyways, it’s just folktale” said silver, leaving them with a bit of mystery.” Silver said with a smile as everyone agreed.

“Do you have any other good stories silver?” Twilight asked and silver nodded

Well twilight, I do think there is another one I can tell, its not nearly as old, if fact, I was alive when It happened! It was back...two-thousand years ago? Jeez. Yeah that sounds right. The story goes like this…

Two thousand years ago qas the final dragon and alicorn conflict. Dragons and alicorns have had bad blood since as long we any alicorn can remeber, so after many wars with the dragons we all agreed to finish the conflict off once and for all. fun fact, the dragon are the onlt reason why the peaceful alicornia has war mongers, and the war against dragons was only brought because the dragon didn’t like us and they refused to negotiate. anyways, we needed to end it, so the dragons and alicorns agree to one last battle to decided who would win the war. the battle was fought on a mountain range, and was the first experience of snow i ever feltas well as many other alicorns.
The two armies went at eachother like nothing i’ve ever seen before, and the dragons had been using cheat tactics to win the war, which went against our agreement for a fair battle. with the contract now broken a bunh of alicorns went to cave in the dragon’s fort in the mountains, and we managed to get rid of all the evil dragons in the fort, and win the war.” silver finished his story with a look of pride.

“Wow” twilight was bewildered “you…” twilight cut herself when she saw spike, who had a shocked expression “please understand spike, these dragons were ruthless, and war was the only option, they were nothing like you. they were visous creatures that would kill anypony without a second thought or hesitation” this seemed to reduce spike and twilight’s shock, but they still didn’t really like the idea of killing a bunch of dragons, despite their tendecies.

"Bu-But what about the young drakes? And the eggs" Spike said quietly. Silver looked down.

"we...we had no choice. I do not regret what we did. Not one bit."

the table was very quiet for a long time as everyone just kind of slowly ate, some played with their food. Silver however still was sitting up with a proud posture. they might not like it, but he saved hundreads of lives.

after breakfast it was almost time to go, but twilight wanted one last look at her room before she left, who knows the next time she’d see it, maybe a year or two. twilight rummaged through her drawrs, looking at the old scrolls and notes from her childhood. she picked up one scroll and read the title “warming spell” she vaugley remebered practicing this one, so she read the description “keps you or someone else magically warms for a certain period of time.” twilight smiled and giggled to herself “i bet silver would love this” she took a few moments to practice the spell and slips the paper into her saddle bag, and went to the sendoff.

“it was good to meet you, mr. and mrs. sparkle” said silver as he shook mr.sparkle’s hoof and kissed mrs. sparkle’s hoof. twilight joined him and after saying goodbye to shining and cadence, they went on their way to the train station.

Silver stepped out into the cold of chanterlot, premptivley shivering, but when he stepped out he didn’t feel cold, but instead a comforting warmth that enveloped him. before he could say anything, twilight spoke up “it’s a magical warming spell i foud in my room, so you don’t have to freeze”

twilight and silver boarded the train, leaving canterlot behind once more.
