Power, Control and Sensitivity

by the star bringer

Chapter 1

StarGazer stood on the outskirts of Ponyville, gazing at the familiar sights that brought back memories of his past. It had been years since he last saw his old friends, Ghoul Tender Taps, Cozy Glow, and Apple Bloom. They had formed a tight bond during their adventures, confronting the challenges of making Equestria a better place.

But now, things were different. Equestria had found a new era of peace and harmony, and the friends had settled into their own peaceful lives. StarGazer felt torn. He longed to see his friends again, to reminisce about the past and catch up on all the time that had passed. Yet, he was hesitant to disrupt their newfound tranquillity. However he believed that clues to finding the artifact might be in Ponyville. Summoning all the courage he could muster he trotted into Ponyville. He took off his Royal guard armour, not wanting to draw attention or alarm anypony, and began his search.

After 2 hours he had still found nothing leading to the stolen artifact, but he wasn't about to give up. Suddenly he bumped into somebody "Oh my! I'm so sorry..." he gazed up to see his old friend Apple Bloom ' so much for staying hidden' StarGazer thought to himself. "StarGazer? is it really you?" Apple Bloom beamed. " Uhm... Hi... Apple Bloom..." StarGazer stuttered as a blush began forming off his cheeks. "So... What are you doing here? I mean it has been years since you've visited Ponyville" "Uhm...I just uhm... I just thought I would visit..." Apple Bloom gives an unsure look at StarGazer, Not really believing him, "Well I best get going now!" "Oh okay... bye"

'I don't think he's really here for a visit' Apple Bloom thought to herself 'I better follow him to see what he's really up to.'
