The Element of Mischief

Chapter 2

Where am I?

By

Red Mare

I awoke from my slumber, the sun shining directly in my face. Somepony please close the curtains so I can get back to sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up . I began to check out my surroundings to see where I was. I was in some sort of cottage house thing with animals living in here. All the animals saw me get up from whatever I was sleeping on, and backed away from my presence. Great, even animals are afraid of me. I should just go and leave before I cause any more trouble than I should.

Just as I begin to get up, I looked out a window and I saw a yellow pegasus outside feeding some birds. I bet she or he carried me to his or her home and took care of me. I better go thank him or her, and leave them be. I also need to figure out why ponies clad in gold armor want me.

I walked down the stairs, and walked out the door. I hope this pony doesn't want me to hang around there home any longer. No pony should live with that kind of burden. That would just be ridiculous and not healthy. As I walked outside, I heard a beautiful humming coming from somewhere. So I walked around the cottage to find it, but just as I kept walking I fell down on the ground, and lost consciousnesses again. I think I should have rested a little more before I began to walk.

======================

Canterlot Castle

I sat on the throne again, looking at the doors leading into the throne room. I waited for my guards to return to me with a report of or captured the pony. The pony that I want should be captured and brought before me, so Equestria is saved. I began to think if the pony wasn't captured, I don't know what could happen to all of Equestria. My four pegasi guards, clad in golden armor bowed down in front of me. I didn't even know they entered the throne room at all.

I looked at them and I asked, "Where's the pony I told you to bring to me?"

One of the pegasi stood up, removing his helmet, and he replied, "He's in Ponyville your highness. He simply got away from us."

I became shocked at the news. The pony I wanted to be captured, just got away. I stood up from my throne, walked down to ground level, and I began to pace back and forth in front of my four pegasi guards. All four pegasi looked at my behavior curiously, then one of them asked, "Your highness, what's wrong with this one pony? Surely he cannot be a threat to Equestria."

I stopped pacing, I looked at my guards, and I sighed and dropped my head. I replied, "The pony that you found earlier, is not a normal pony at all."

"What do you mean your highness?" Another guard asked, confused.

"There is much more you need to know about this pony before you go after him again." I replied, seriousness in my voice.

All four guards were listening as I continued, "The pony you all are after, is an element...."

"An Element! You're highness he's not a Element of Harmony is he?!" All four guards asked in unison, shocked at the discovery. Their eyes were widen to the size of three dinner plates, and their mouths were hanging wide open.

"No. He isn't a Element of Harmony. Let's just say, Discord wasn't the only Element of Disharmony." I replied, my voice now icy cold.  My guards looked very confused about what I said about Discord. I sighed loudly enough for my guards to hear.

"Your Highness. What is an Element of Disharmony?" One of the guards asked, curious about the new information.

"An Element of Disharmony doesn't want peace and harmony. This elements only want to cause only one thing, destruction, and chaos. I had to hide this information from all the ponies, you my guards, and my young sister Luna for a good reason. And that reason is why we have the Elements of Harmony till this day."

"You mean everypony doesn't knows about this information besides you alone?" One of the guards asked, all four of them now know the truth.

"Yes, well no, I wasn't the only one who knew. Star Swirl the Bearded did a foresight into the future and he told me about it coming into fruition. Back then I didn't believe him, but now I do, and that is why we must stop this. So are you in or are you all out?" I said, looking at my guards dead in the eye.

With the piece of information said, my guards looked at me. The four of them huddled together, whispering words that I can't possibly hear. I hope they stay on my side, because of what I told them. But however they all maybe might leave me because I kept this hidden from them and everypony else. I never wanted to keep this information a secret from everypony bit it was for their safety that I did it for.

The four guards turned back towards me and one of them asked, "What does this pegasus look like your highness?"

I looked at them and I began to describe what this stallion looks like. I hope we can capture this pony quickly before things get out of hoof.
