Description
It's been a while since my last pony drawing, and this one's been on the works for quite some time. I got the idea a long time ago, but I haven't had much inspiration to draw, and that also shows in the quality of this pic. I think it could've been a lot better.

Anyways, it's the newest addition to the alternate "Arcane" timeline, that I set some of my drawings on. The last one had a bit of lore included, and I'll include some in this one too. The next ones won't be as long as this, and the earlier picture called "Elder", but I'll try to write something just for the fun of it.

Like always, I drew this one with water soluble color pencils, and finished with white gel pen, and some basic photoshop tuning.

Here's the lore bit for those interested, there's a lot of text, and no tl;dr, but there's no real reason for you to read it if you don't want to.

Please excuse the spelling errors and such I have most likely made, english isn't my first language.

The thick shadows and brances of the Everfree forest finally moved aside, revealing an odd crystal, which was being held up in the air by twisting trees. In it's shadow, stood a peculiar earth pony with light green coat, and piercing orange eyes. "Seed!? What on Equestria are you doing here in the heart of the Everfree!?" exclaimed Twilight.

The green pony turned around, and stepped out of the shadow of the heart, and eyed the party that had come before her. "I am here to recieve the blessing of the Everfree, just like the Guardian did a long time ago." she replied.

Twilight was obviously agitated by the precense of the mysterious pony, and was struggling to keep her calm."What makes you think you'd even be able recieve its blessing?" she snapped, and took a step towards Seed. "You claim to represent nature, yet your ascension destroyed more land and lives than any catastrophe that came before!"

"It does not matter." Seed replied calmly. "That land had already been touched by your vile magics, and was beyond saving. But with that sacrifice, I will be able to renew everything. To create a new world, in which the ponykind has to live in harmony with the nature, instead of enslaving it."

Twilight hated the way Seed acted. Her calm demeanor felt more threatening than outright aggression. "But why Everfree? If you wanted to renew everything, why leave the most dangerous forest untouched?"

"Because the Everfree is the strongest forest in all of Equestria. It's innate magics are strong enough to foil any attempts that the pegasi had for controlling it. It has been free even before my time, and the Guardian ensures it always would have stayed that way, even without my intervention" Seed took a step towards the party that had come before her, and kept explaining. "But the rest of the world can never be like the Everfree, so something has to be done about it. And that all starts here in the heart. When the time is right, the Everfree will spread throughout the New World like a green tidal wave. Everything will finally be free of the magics of the ponykind. Especially that of the Pegasi."

Seed focused her eyes on Fluttershy, who remained surprisingly calm. "I still must visit the other natural sanctuaries of Equestria, in order to recieve their blessings, like with the Everfree. If you wish to accompany me, Guardian of the Everfree, then you are free to do so. It is a way for your spirit to grow even stronger, and I would dare to say that it is something you must do. You have to become strong in order to protect the New World."

At that moment, Twilight interrupted Seed by stomping her hoof on the ground. "What on Equestria are you talking about now Seed!?" she exclaimed. "Fluttershy would never join you! She couldn't! Besides, she's a pegasus! Didn't you just say you despise her kind!?"

Seed's calm demeanor wasn't shaken by Twilight's aggression. "I could never despise the Guardian of the Everfree. Your actions define who you are, not your wings or horn. Isn't that something you should have learned a long time ago, Twilight Sparkle."

For the first time, Fluttershy spoke up. "Umm... I'm truly sorry Twilight, but I have already made a pact with the Everfree. There are things you just don't know about yet..." she said, and put her head down, seemingly ashamed of herself.

"Fluttershy! Don't you see that she's just using you!" Twilight shouted. She couldn't believe what her old friend had just said.

"You are truly despicable Twilight Sparkle." said Seed. "There is more to this world than just you and your petty ambitions regarding magic. You are very important to the Guardian, yes. But do not place yourself above that which is ultimately best for all of Equestria."
