Hey folks! Okay, after this story, I plan on making a tale about the daughter of Princess Luna. In the comments tell me what you think! I own nothing!

Ch 8

The next morning, after Shadow Light raised the sun, the group continued through the forest. Shadow stuck near Applejack for safety.

"So Discord, what elements should we try to teach Shadow right now?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, we should start with elements that Shadow could learn the quickest. That way we'd have more time to teach her the more difficult elements,"

"Well it's obvious what the first element should be," Rarity announced.

"Yeah loyalty!" Rainbow cheered as the others agreed.

"Why loyalty?"

"You're already super loyal Shadow, you just need to prove it," Flutter Shy explained.

"I'm not that loyal,"

"Shadow, sweetie," Applejack said. "Remember when I asked Apple Bloom and her pals to show you around the Foals and Filly's Festival when you first went?"

"Not really,"

"Well I do. Now listen up!"

(Flashback)

"Okay, Apple Bloom, remember not to let her out of your sight,"

"Of course Twilight," Apple Bloom groaned as she answered for the millionth time.

"And Sweetie Belle, don't let her eat to many sweets!"

"Alright,"

"And Scootaloo, no..."

"Okay we get it Twilight!" The orange Pegasus finally cried.

"Alright, just keep a close watch on her," Twilight hugged her daughter.

"Alright honey, be good for them, okay?"

"Okay mommy," the year and half filly replied.

Finally, the princess let go as the foal eagerly followed the elder mares. The former cutie mark crusaders each had a cutie mark to show for: Sweetie Belle had a heart with an arrow through it; Apple Bloom had an apple with an apple blossom; and Scootaloo had an eagle's feather with a thunderbolt behind it. Shadow playful began walking between the girls who began giggling at the child's cuteness. She was wearing a small sweater since it was chilly that covered her wings. Suddenly, Sweetie Belle groaned.

"Uh oh, here comes Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon," Apple Bloom looked at the foal.

"Shadow Light, don't listen to a word those mares say,"

"Okay Apple Bloom,"

The two bullies were suddenly upon them.

"Well if it isn't the old blank flanks!" Diamond Tiara made fun.

"Yeah old blank flanks," Sliver Spoon repeated. Scootaloo puffed up.

"Sorry, but you can't say that about us anymore! We all have our cutie marks!" Tiara laughed and began circling Shadow.

"Then who's this little blank flank?" Sweetie Belle pointed her horn in defense of Shadow

"Back off! Shadow Light's only a year and half old!"

"Blank Flank nonetheless!" Silver taunted. She had gotten better at using her own words. Shadow, being young as she was, didn't understand these girls were making fun of her. She instead ignored them and turned to Apple Bloom.

"Apple Bloom, can I take off my sweater? I'm starting to get really warm," Before Apple Bloom could reply, Scootaloo covered her mouth with an evil smirk.

"Sure Shadow, go right ahead,"

Shadow wiggled her way out of the sweater as her tiny wings popped up a little bit, causing the two bullies to gasp.

"She's a.. A.." Silver stuttered.

"An Alicorn!" Tiara finished. Sweetie Belle laughed.

"Yes, Shadow is Princess Twilight Sparkle's daughter, and a princess herself," Suddenly, the two mares surrounded Shadow Light.

"Dear princess, you shouldn't be surrounded by these riffraff!" Tiara exclaimed.

"Yes, you should have the company of high society, such as us!" Silver added. As the two mares tried to lead the foal away, she quickly galloped back to the crusaders.

"No, I'm gonna stay with my friends. They like me, Alicorn or not," The group walked away, unaware that the Mane 6 had seen everything.

"Thats my girl," Twilight whispered.

(End of Flashback)

"Wow, so I really did that?"

"Yep! Even though you were too young to realize it, you stood up for the girls and stuck by them. That's loyalty honey,"

"Now all you need to do is prove it," Rarity added. Throughout the day, Shadow began thinking of ways to prove her loyalty. At around evening, the gang decided to stop for a minute to rest. Discord suddenly was alert.

"What is it Discord?" Flutter Shy asked.

Before he could answer, dark, shadow like ropes wrapped around him, imprisoning him. While the mare tried to free him, other ropes ensnared them, rendering their powers useless.

"Show yourselves!" Applejack yelled. From the woods, a group of shadow stallions, not unlike Light Destroyer appeared. The leader smirked.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here. A group out to destroy our master,"

"Meanie!" Pinkie yelled.

"What are you going to do with us?" Rarity demanded. The Stallions only lowered the horns, signaling an attack. A blast of black and white, however, disbanded a few of them. Shadow had not been captured in the fray and was now blasting away. The stallions tried with all their might to stop her, but the princess with her wings was just too fast. Eventually, the lead stallion called out.

"Wait! Don't shoot! We'll help you,"

"How so,"

"We can help you beat Light Destroyer! And rescue your parents! All we need to do is dispose of them and we have a deal,"

Shadow thought for a second. It was a tempting deal. Then again, it would cost her her aunts and Discord, who had become a pretty good friend. Shadow aimed her magic and defeated the other shadows.

"I choose my family,"

Using her horn to cut the ropes, Shadow was caught in a hug. Discord patted her head.

"Not bad,"

Suddenly, Shadow felt a tingle in her wings, looking up, she saw the feathers on the tip of her wings had turned red. She gawked at them.

"How?"

"The first virtue has been passed on,"

"Way to go Shadow!" Rainbow cheered. Shadow looked at her family.

"Two down, four to go,"
