Book 1: Realms Unite!

Chapter 11 Friendship Is Magic

Glade didn't know what to think as the wind and trees ripped at his face with this pink party pony leading the ride. Mind you Glade loved the way the forest smelled and looked rather beautiful in its own way. Glade forgot his sentient eyes were active and he sensed a great power residing within the forest.

*No not energy... Magic!* Glade thought in his mind. Pinkie stopped the canon at the edge of the forest looking back at Glade, "What's wrong?" she asked noticing his serious expression. Glade snapped out of his trance deactivating his Sentient Mode, "Sorry about that Pinkie I just felt something very powerful within the forest. Any idea what that is?" he asked.

Pinkie giggled, "You must be talking about the Tree of Harmony. It's one of the most magical things in all of Equestria! Twilight found the tree and is still trying to figure out how to open the chest that it sprouted. Now come on and let's go meet Twilight fast!" she squealed.

Glade tried to speak but Pinkie pulled on him fast running past other ponies. Glade looked around and he realized Pinkie's canon was nowhere to be seen, "Where did your canon go?!" he asked. Pinkie smiled mischievously and pulled it out of nowhere! Glade facehoofed himself, "Not another one..." he sighed realizing what Pinkie could do.

Pinkie smiled and dragged Night Glade along to a great tree that sat within the middle of the town, "OOOOH Twilight! Anypony home?" she yelled. From within the tree Night Glade heard, "Spike! Spiike get the door please!" as the door opened a small reptilian creature greeted them with a smile.

"Oh hey Pinkie Pie! Who's the stiff?" the reptile asked. Pinkie laughed, "Spike this is Night Glade. He's new to Equestria and even better he's an Alicorn that guards the night! Glade this is my friend Spike he's a baby Dragon!" she said. Glade smiled, "A baby dragon huh? Pretty cool to me, brohoof?" he asked.

Spike smiled and bumped Glade's hoof, "Come on in, I'm sure Twilight would be thrilled to meet another Alicorn besides the Princesses," he said. Glade sighed and rolled his eyes, *Oh great multiple damsels,* he thought.

"Twilight get down here please! Pinkie's brought a new guest to Ponyville! I think you're going to like this guest!" Spike called with a chuckle. Glade heard a groan from the second floor as a lavender coated Alicorn with a violet mane and a pink stripe walk down the stairs, "Hi there Pinkie who's your-!" Twilight stopped short as she noticed the Stallion behind Pinkie.

Glade smiled, "Hi there! My name is Night Glade and I'm new to Equestria. I was brought here by Lady Star Bright Silver to meet the famous Princess Twilight Sparkle," he said. Twilight couldn't find any words and she felt her heart begin to race, *What's happening to me? Has he put me under a spell?! Wait no I'd feel his magic being used before he even used it!* she thought feeling the throbbing in her chest.

With a great heave Twilight straightened herself, "P-pleased to meet you Glade. M-my my Star Bright sent you to meet m-me?" she stuttered. Glade chuckled, "Yes you and your companions known as the Elements of Harmony haha. Tell me when can I meet the rest of your friends?" he asked.

Twilight turned and scowled, *Oh gee...* she thought darkly. Turning back to Glade Twilight smiled, "I'm sure we can go on a tour of the town before you meet all of them. If Lady Star Bright sent you it must be for a greater purpose am I right?" she said Glade smiled uneasily, *You have absolutely no idea,* he thought.

Star Bright sipped on her tea within Zecora's hut enjoying the relaxation, "My my I never thought Pinkie would've been the one to discover Glade first," she said. No response, "Oops I completely forgot I'm all alone right now," Star Bright said aloud.
