Death Comes to Those Who Wait

In the Hoofstin Marketplace, a sudden rainbow tornado started, startling many creatures in the market. After the rainbow dissipated, the six ponies could be seen clearly. Twilight's eyes now glowed violet, while Rainbow's were red, Applejack's orange, Rarity's purple, and Pinkie's blue. They could only guess that Fluttershy's glowed pink, but had no way of knowing for sure.

Twilight spoke in a doubled voice, similar to Chrysalis'. "Where is Fluttershy?" Her voice sounded of the five's voices put together.

The five started taking off in a random direction, flying as fast as they could. Case could only ditch her coat on the road and fly after them. She soon caught up, and they flew together. But, as luck would have it, their magic reserves were completely dissipated from the teleport. The lights in their eyes died down, and the five took a nose dive into unconsciousness. Case quickly reacted, safely holding them in a magic bubble until they were on the ground. She then descended and gently shook them awake.

After a while of bicker, they continued on the way they were heading. After miles and hours of running, they found a solitary cabin. They stopped in front of it and looked around. There were no carriage marks, and no signs of struggle. They burst through the door and found blood on the walls. Twilight feared the worst, but was relieved to find no dead bodies. In the basement, there was pink hair and yellow fur laying scattered on the floor. A note sat in the middle.

"No more rhymes, my little ponies.

You almost got me, but I'm gone now.

I've taken your friend, and I'm coming back for another one of you.

Watch out. Anyway, on to the clue.

We've left the state, we're now in a common area. Try and find us."

"Damn it!" Rainbow flipped a table next to her, and smiled wide. "I know where they're going."

She held up a map that had Hoofstin marked as one, Ponyville as 2, Cloudsdale as 3, and finally the Ponyville Lake marked in old Greek.

"Chantáki o só̱ma edó̱. Ditch the body here."

"You guys used up a lot of energy. I have just enough reserved magic to teleport us back to Ponyville. Downside, one must stay. I'll teleport you there, and get on the next train to Ponyville."

Before any retaliation could be said, the five were gone, leaving a lone Alicorn straned about one hundred miles from the marketplace.
