Jhera wandered up to her (hopping the fence if there is one) and said "The White Hope you gave us to cure the poison joke infections, how did you come across it. That particular flower...it has been a sign of my family for generations, and I have seen no references to anypony else ever obtaining the means to have that flower." Jhera pulled out the fossilized seed and showed it to her. "This is from way back in the feudal times. It's a White Hope seed. How on Equeatria did you get those flowers!?"
"My family first breed the flower. How in the world did yours get ahold of it?" Snow said confused, "The first membe of my family, Trecarius, bred it, then my namesake perfected it, how do you have White Hope?
Jhera turned white. "But...we were the first..." he shook his head. "The White Hope of the Flowers was passed down by the pony present during the great union, Hibiscus. I have a letter from him talking about the union, actually. I believe it was written three hours before he died. Another curious thing, though," Jhera removed the letter and handed it to Snow, "this letter mentions your name. Twice."
"Ah yes, well, I was named after her, and I think I might have something that might clear up this mess." Snow said before dissappearing into her house. She came back a little bit later levitating a massive book in front of her, "It the complete history of my family, stretching all the way back to Tricarius and the other Snow." she said, opening the book. "Ah here we are, Flower Entry 25: White Hope is coming along nicely, Snow is defiently a help, too bad she will be forced into the Unicorn Castle soon. Ah, let's skip forward a bit, here we are! Journal entry 121: Visited Hibicus today, gave him payment for delivering letter to Father. I included White Hope and instructions to grow it so that the earth ponies could benefit as well. Well that explains a lot."
"Wow, I never would have guessed! So our families had been connected before we even met!" Jhera said, than he realized the extent of the entry. "That greedy pony never show anything! He kept it for himself, not to help the earth ponies. I should have expected that of him. He was a total drunk." Jhera replaced his own book and letter in his bags. "That's so cool! I should add this to our family's archives. Thanks for everything!"
"Wait! Before you go, listen to this: Journal Entry 123: Success! My gamble of seperating my essence into three parts succeeded at the meeting! I proved to everypony that we are the same, union efforts are already in effort, Commander Hurricane has already been forced from power. I think this will eventually pay off in my favor, if my next expriement works..., Wow." was all Snow said.
Jhera nodded. "Your namesake must have been very formidable. After all, she took Hurricane down on her own, or together, however you may say it." Jhera inspected the entry again. "Does it say anywhere how her next experiment went? Not to be nosy or anything, I'm just curious."
Dark Shine crept around the corner to see Snow and Jhera. "Hello... wow..." He managed to hear what was going on.
"Ah, I'll skip to the results: Journal Entry 463: I'm near death, I can feel the beyond calling. Hibiscus died a couple years back, and that event had prevented me from truly performing my grand expriement. I have acquired more power than ever thought possible by the system, but now, I rule the country in all but title. My expriement will have to do with the reverse of what brought us together, the full combination of the three essence's of mine. My children have already gone off to succeed in the world, all my true friends have died, there is no longer anything holding me down. If this expriement is successful, I will become the first Alicorn in history, and rule Equestria! What the!" Snow exclaimed, she went to the next entry. "It worked! I am now the envy of all! I have fulfilled my dreams! I feel younger than ever! My mane flows like that of a river and has the colors of the day in it. I do believe I am deserving of a new title and name: Princess…" Snow reread why she saw just to be sure she wasn't seeing anything, "Princess Celestia! Yes, that's good! I shall rule Equestria, even if my damned brother tries to stop me! Tremalion may be a pain, but he is the last obsticle to my power!"
(Gosh. This Rp going real fast.) Angel finally arrived at ponyville, tired from this long route. As she finally stopped to flap her wings, and got her hooves on the ground, the first thing she did was to sit under a tree. She took her time to breathe and rest her wings, before taking the letter from her saddlebag. She read it again, looking for an address, or something, but she couldn't imagine words: the location of the temple wasn't indicated. She sighed, and started to walk around, in a hope to see signs, or the temple at the end of the street in wich she turned. After nearly half an hour, she had started to remember some streets and places. Eventually, she walked near a park, and decided to rest for a moment on some bench.
() Jhera's jaw fell as he heard the last bit of the letter. "You're related to Celestia!?" Jhera exclaimed. "For all that is good, I'm standing in front of potential royalty!" Jhera pondered a moment. "I'm curious to find out what Celestia did to the other leaders. She didn't kill them, did she?" He shook his head. "This is making more questions than it's answering."
"Come inside, we can read it more there." Snow said, motioning inside. When they got into the living room, Snow set the book on the center table and opened it to the last entry, "Let's see here, ah! Here we are! Journal Entry 745: The civil war is over, my sister and I managed to exile Tremalion outside of Equestria, but we do not know how long it will last. He is too powerful to send anywhere else and to keep out forever, the ten or fifteen year struggle is over, although we cannot track down Tremalion's final elemental Champion, the Champion of Balance. No matter, the Elements of Harmony are stronger than one Champion. But they are also changing me as well, ever since they were made, I've felt calmer, more friendly, less aggressive. My sister has noticed to, I am much different from the pony that first raised her to Alicorn status. No matter, these changes will only help me in the long rule ahead, I have given the final orders to purge out the last remaining challengers to my power, be it exile or execution. I shall set my capital on the Great Cliff of the Evaliad Valley, on the site of my final victory over Tremalion. I shall call it Canterlot, sadly, Luna is the last family member that I know of left alive, so she shall rule by my side. This shall be the last entry to this journal, hopefully, it shall never be read. Snow stepped back and collasped on a chair holding her head, "I'm, decendant from CELESTIA! She was my teacher, and I never knew any of this!"
Dark Shine fell over. His face had the look of shock. "Wai-What?! So I am in the prescence of royalty?" He bowed his head.
"This shall be the last entry to this journal, hopefully, it shall never be read...." Jhera repeated. "Oh, Celestia, if she finds out we have these journals!" Jhera pulled his back out and flipped through the pages. "Let's see if I can find anything interesting. We're already breaking every unsaid law Celestia has ever made, we may as well continue." He flipped through a few more pages until he found something rather peculiar. Date: 1593 My father left me some note, but the guards never gave it to me until now. Honestly! Two years after his death and all they could say was "sorry"! So, I opened it and it was just instructions. It led back to our old house, the one that had been knocked down by my father's orders. No idea why, he just said something along the lines of "It's not pretty enough." Whatever that means. I went to the plot where it had once stood and dug around a bit in the grass. Sure enough, I found an odd chest hidden within the recessed of the ground. What I found in that chest sure surprised me! It was a wilted flower and a bag of seeds! What was this doing underground? Sure enough, it had a note to go along with it. Took me a while to make out the words, the writer had terrible grammar. "Save this until Hibiscus needs it. If he eats the flower, it will save his life. Hibiscus must live to see the rise of the new powers." Are you kidding me? I could have saved my father's life, and those damnable guards were the reason I didn't? In his memory, I'm going to go plant these seeds out back. At least that way his memory can still live on in the flowers. Sincerely, Marigold. Jhera lay the book back down. "What on Equestria happened there? 'Hibiscus must live to see the rise of the new powers.'? What did that mean?"
"I have a feeling that Snow was hoping to have Hibiscus help her in her rise to become Celestia and eventual ruler of Equestria." Snow said. She began flipping through her book, "Huh, that's strange, there's nothing in here on Tremalion."
It wasn't too long before Fire went back to work. As the EWT flew towards the Everfree forest, Fire asked Sarge, "When does hurricane season end again?" "In another week or so, why?" "Because this is getting ridiculous!" "It's ridiculous every year, man!" "I know, but I can still complaining about it!" The team flew into the forming hurricane to take it out from the inside. The wind in it was intense and at least one team member would be forced out during every hurricane mission. "On my mark!" Sarge yelled out, "Three! Two! One!" Then, all at once, the EWT members flew out of the would be hurricane in all directions, effectively dispersing the forming hurricane. "Glad we got that one early!" Fire exclaimed.
"I'm sure Celestia would have our heads on stakes if we were to mention this, but what would Luna say?" Jhera questioned. "If we could find information that would prove Luna wouldn't kill us, or tell Celestia, we could see if we could sneak some answers out of her about all this. I'm sure she'd answer the questions of one of Celestia's descendants..." He threw a knowing look at Snow, "...Princess Snow."
Snow looked horrified when Jhera called her that, "I hope that your talking about the original Snow and not me!" she said.
Fire landed back in town. He was sick of the hurricanes, but at least the last one wasn't too bad. He decided to wander around town aimlessly, because sitting down to relax would be pointless.
