Aldorn nods and goes to help the surviving adults before they start cleaning the place up. He turns his head towards Frost. "What is this place? And why is it important? You seem to act as if some sort of goddess once lived here." Aldorn seems confused to the fact that he has never heard of Fluttershy or her accomplishments with the other 5.

Asterian clasped the young cellist in a warming embrace, chuckling softly as the tension was finally broken. All that time, and he could have just asked, but now he knew of himself. Now was just as good a time as any.
When they broke apart, he looked back at Octavia, staring deep into her mulberry eyes and smiling. "I'm so happy... You don't know how long I have waited to say that. I just wasn't sure you would say yes..." He looked out at the crowd to see if it was negotiable, and then he looked back to Octavia. "Come. I want to show you something."

Aldorn nods and goes to help the surviving adults before they start cleaning the place up. He turns his head towards Frost. " What is this place? And why is it important? You seem to act as if some sort of goddess once lived here." Aldorn seems confused to the fact that he has never heard of Fluttershy or her accomplishments with the other 5.
Frost looks to Aldorn and says, "You never heard the legends of the elements of harmony? This place once belonged to the element of kindness Fluttershy. She was a Pegasus like myself. She was a very shy pony when you first meet her. She had the unique talent of being able to communicate with animals. Her kindness could even reform the lord of chaos, Discord, himself. It was this that made Fluttershy so famous. Then there was Applejack the honest. She was a hardworking earth pony that ran a farm once called Sweet Apple Acres. Just like with Fluttershy her honesty was unmatched. she could tell if somepony was lying just by listening to them. one thing though she herself could rarely tell a lie and get away with it. The next one was Pinkamina Dianne Pie or Pinkie Pie for short. She was the go to party mare for all ones party needs. Around her you can't help but smile. She was a mare who really put the laugh in laughter. then comes the fair and aspiring Generous Rarity. Now That one knew how to be a proper lady. Her dresses were one of a kind and she would always be generous to her friends. Now comes one of my favorites, Rainbow Dash. This Fast Pegasus was indeed the fastest in all of Equestria. She had one thing more important then even her speed though. She would never leave her friends hanging. It was that attitude to her friends that I adopted as a moral to self in order to help others. Rainbow Dash The Loyal, was probably the only Pegasus in the entirety of Equestria who could do the Sonic Rainboom. There is but one more and because I speak of her last doesn't mean she is less important then the others. Oh no That would be overly WRONG. Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Mare who started it all with the fate of the ancient Nightmare, Nightmare Moon. her special talent was magic. She Started to study the magic of friendship. This bond of friendship meant exactly what it does. to get threw all kinds of problems with only your friends to help you and colt let me tell you those six were good at that. once the elements themselves had awakened they faced everything from this cold to the lord of chaos himself. Even the ancient changelings were no match for this. If it wasn't for the magic of friendship even the Chrystal ponies would not have been saved.
This is just about everything I know about the elements of harmony and their legend. This house belonged to the kindness known then as Fluttershy. My home treats this place along with the other places of the six as places of power. When I first started my journey I came upon this place. it was both a memory reminder to show kindness to all and a home for me for a little while. The ice that freezes this place I keep strong because it would help the world to know that the elements did once exist."
after a few moments, Frost feaes something activating in her bag. when she checks to see what has activated, it turns out to be that statue she always kept on her. She allows the statue to help her find what ever has activated it. "Well this is odd. It didn't do this the last time I was here. Lets see what caused it." she says with a bit of surprise in her voice to find that her statue had some sort of magic worked into it and she never knew it. |

The musician smiled softly and nodded, following Asterian back out into the shop proper. ***** The statue began pointing like a dowsing rod, guiding Frost and Aldorn to a corner of the cottage where an ancient desk still sat. Upon its surface was an envelope, with these words on it: To Anypony Left
From Fluttershy |

Asterian led Octavia through the winding streets, eager to show her what it was he wanted to show her. "Let us go to House Élire. I know you will like it." He smiled at her, already half-way to their destination. He would of course just trek the rooftops, but Octavia probably would be left behind.

frost gentle and respectfully picks up the envelope and removes the ice covering it. She opens the envelope to see if anything is inside and readable.

Octavia grinned and picked up her pace, as eager as Asterian to see what he had in store for her, even if she didn't know what it was yet. ***** Frost found an ancient letter, hoof-written by the kind pegasus so long ago, and upon it was this: From Oak to Holly, from Holly to Oak,
The tale we hide, The meaning cloak.
From Smooze of old, to great Tirek,
They ever come, the world to wreck.
A thousand years, ten thousand more,
The land was safe from shore to shore,
For Princesses and Elements,
Did grace us with benevolence.
But now the ancient curse is come,
Our bones to chill, our skin to numb.
To solve this ancient mystery,
Look back into your history.
No longer is it endless hate,
Nor arrogance, nor anger great,
But snow and ice are just the same.
Return to that from whence you came. |

Octavia grinned and picked up her pace, as eager as Asterian to see what he had in store for her, even if she didn't know what it was yet. Asterian kept a steady, fast walk. He entered past his house gates, nodding to Keeper, the guard, and entering the house. He held the door for Octavia, kindly bowing and gesturing for her to enter. " May you enjoy your stay in House Élire," he teased. He thought about showing her the house first—that is, what she had not seen; she had been there several times before—then showing off his surprise. |

Mr. Brown smiled as the stallion and mare ran off with each other, nearly hoof in hoof. It looked like someone else was striking it rich, too...
For now, though, the music was over and it was time to get back to work. As the group if listeners dispersed, so did Mr. Brown. Having not much else to do until the diamond dogs finished their dig, he continued wandering the streets idly, simply enjoying the walk and renewing his appreciation for the great underground city.

Aldorn looks at the letter Frost holds and reads the lines. He looks at Frost in puzzlement. "Do you think that Fluttershy is talking about the spirits of the ice and snow? The spirits that once covered this land in never ending winter?"

frost reluctantly nods her head, "I think so. The Windigoes, I thought they were only a hearts warming eve thing.....WAIT! I think I know what this means. It could mean one of two things. One the origin of hearts warming eve or back to where we came from the original settlement. Does anypony know the full tale of hearts warming eve? The tale itself may holds some clues for us." Frost seams excited that this note was found.

Aldorn looks at Frost. "Probably one of the surviving villages or settlements near the border of Equestria can help you. I would believe one of them once held that held the Chancellor. But let us worry later of this riddle and more of the adults and the foals. Those are our major priority right now."

Frost nods, "Yea lets get yall back to the children and tell them nothing of what has happened here. It would scar them for life. I also wouldn't want to see them as loners either. When ever yall are ready, lets go." Frost puts the note in her bags hoping to preserve it for later and prepares to go and helps finish the cleaning of this place. "After that we got ourselves a bit of a quest to start. Find the true meaning of this note. This is going to be fun."

Lieutenant Warm Heart nodded, as did Captain Swift Blade, who tossed a few ration discs at the adults and began ordering and directing the survivors to clean up the place. He then made a motion to the Lieutenant, and carefully exited the cottage in search of some appropriate place to bury the bodies of the dead and give them some semblance of respect, for all that he doubted they deserved any.
Warm Heart spoke up at Frost's question. "I am almost certain that Duchy Fancy would have some record of those events. The Duke's Library, I'm sure. It has a copy of almost every single book ever written in Ancient Equestria. The story goes that the Duke's great-grandfather was something of an extreme survivalist with a pragmatic streak, who went about simultaneously building his vast fortune while at the same time starting an archive of the whole world's literary and cultural heritage. Ever since then, the Pants line has continued the tradition to this day. It's thanks to that Fancy's efforts that Duchy Fancy even exists."

Frost helps with clean up and body burial. As she does so she looks to Warm Heart and says, "At Least we now have an idea of what happened to the 6 and the princesses. Windigoes, why does it have to be them. The tales about them were bad enough. Alright Everypony, if you see a Windigo, my only current advice is that if you aren't adjusted to the cold then run. If you are, then stall them then run."
With the clean up soon finished she says to everypony, "Lets go everypony, time to get back to the kids before they freeze. That heating unit isn't going to keep them warm much longer. Then it is off to Duchy Fancy, your new home. At least I know I will have helped some ponies before this all ends." Frost heads outside. Knowing the way back, she takes lead and stays close so as to keep everypony together and safe for the most part. Once they are all together she starts to guide them back to the children.
