"Lets just head back Rainbowdash. Just because Celestia said they were headed this way doesn't mean they would go out into the Everfree forest." A orange pony says with a country accent donning a cowboy hat on her head and apples marking her flank.

She walks in a group with five others of her kind. Two of which are unicorns, one purple and one white; two more that are pegasi, one blue with rainbow colored mane and tail and the other yellow with pink mane; and another earth mare that is pink. They walk towards the Everfree forest due to Twilight's, Rainbowdash's, and Pinkie's curiosity. She had to be honest with herself. Even her curiosity has picked up about the recent news. But these are creatures that even Celestia won't go after alone! That means they're something not to mess with.

"Don't worry Applejack! That's why we brought the elements of harmony with us!" The purple one says stopping to touch her head piece.

The others stop and touch the necklaces around their necks. They resume their walk towards the Everfree forest.

The elements should protect us... Right?

Caleb sits up yawning as the sun begins its early track up high in the sky. He was always an early riser. He looks at his friends that are scattered around him. Markus is sleeping soundly up against a tree while Indie is laying on his left side holding a rock close to him.

Welp time to wake the sleeping beauties!

Caleb snaps his fingers and the sound of an explosion shoots the two to their feet looking around for the source. Caleb stands there trying hard not to laugh at his panicking friends. The two looking at the smiling Caleb and throw him some dead glares.

"You know I have half the mind to beat your ass right now." Markus says stretching out his body.

"Oh don't be mean to me like that! It was all fun and games besides." He lucks up towards the skies, "A fresh morning a fresh start. Now what are the different stuff we can eat out here?"

"Well... it didn't say where to find them but if we find any fruit than I'll tell you if its edible or not." Markus says

"Alright me and you are going out to find food Indie you try to find a river and we'll meet back here. And just in case we forget."

Caleb sets the ground on fire in a pillar as a way of light to find back. Caleb and Markus walks off towards the north and Indie heads out to the east.

Indie

Man... How long have I've been walking?

Indie sits down on a log to take a quick breather. He takes the water from the leave and drinks some. He knows its not the best for his health but its better than nothing. A branch snaps in the distant. He stands up and readies for an attack by those wooden wolves again. Instead something even more terrifying walks into sight. Six ponies of multicolored shades and of different races.

"Oh no... you ain't taking me back!" Indie yells backing away from the group, "If you value your lives you might as well just leave me and my brothers alone or I'll kill you where you stand!"

The six mares look at each other questionably.

"Wha... what do you mean take you back?" The purple unicorn asks.

They're messing with me I know it!

"Don't play dumb! Just leave here and never come back!"

"Well you heard it lets go back home." The yellow pegasus says walking away before getting tugged back by the orange earth pony.

"We ain't goin nowhere!" The orange one says defiantly.

"Yea! Now you tell us whats going on or else!" The blue oddly colored pegasus says.

Indie can only laugh at their idiotic threat, "You really have no idea what you are messing with do you!?"

To see these multicolored beings making threats along with there who odd they act and look can tell anyone how clueless they are.

"Look. Leave me be and don't come this way again." Indie says not wanting to resort to violence too fast.

"We ain't going nowhere!" The blue one yells going to the front of the group.

" Alrighty than..." Indie makes water from the leave and float around the group, "Seems like you've forced my hand!"

The water flies down at the group for a kill but a purple shield goes up making the water bounce off harmlessly. The shield goes down and a bolt of purple flies from the middle unicorn sending him into a tree head first.

Caleb and Markus

"How about this one?" Caleb asks pointing at the red bushes in front of them.

"Hmmm they could be strawberries I've heard about from all the elders... They sure do fit the description."

"So they are safe to eat?"

"Yea! So we should remember this way to get more."

After searching for so long they've only encountered this one bush of food. All the others they have no idea of what type they are and some were poisonous which was made obvious by the dead animals around the bushes and trees.

"Yea its great to know that we're at least staring to get down the basics of this. Imagine if we could rebuild the entire civilization our people once had but better!" Caleb boast as they walk forward.

"It would be an amazing thing... but... we would have to free the others tho... I really don't want to see Celestia again..." Markus says walking over to a tree and using his power to strip bark off it in the direction of the bush.

"But hey I bet Indie is having a better time than us." Caleb says as if its a matter of fact.

Indie

Indie groans as his senses come back to him. He tries to move but finds that his body is tied down. He starts to struggle and reach out for a source of water but doesn't find any close enough.

"Hey what gives!" Indie yells out, "Guys if you are pulling a prank on me quit it!"

"Oh thank goodness your okay!" A soft voice says.

Indie looks to the right to see a yellow pony looking at him with a look of worry.

I bet she just wants to make sure I'm unharmed for Princess Celestia!

"I can't get out of these you know! I will make you pay if you don't let me out of here!" Indie says struggling against the ropes and the chair he realizes he's tied to.

"If so than do it!" A boastful voice bellows.

The blue pony flies above him looking pretty miffed at him.

"Unless yer lyin to us." The orange one says also looking as miffed as the blue one.

The purple unicorn comes into view her horn glowing. Indie stops his resisting not wanting to be shot twice by that magic.

"You ill tell us everything that is going on! Or else!"

Celestia

"Its done..."

Celestia gives of a small laugh.

"It's finally done! I finally gotten this down!" Celestia yells out looking at the human staring at the floor, "Now tell me who is your master!"

"Celestia."

"Who is your creator?"

"Celestia."

"Are you willing to help you master out?"

"I will do anything to please Celestia."

"Perfect."

Humans are so interesting. They are filled with both love and hate. They can be corrupted to one or the other but still have both things inside of them. They are the equalizer of Equestria. So why would they do something so stupid as to break the harmony?

Luna walks from the library and down the halls thoughts roaming through her head of the thins she's red. She couldn't believe how much information her sister kept int he dark. Even the fact that the way the government works is based off the human's ideas.

"So why would she treat them like this?" She asks herself stopping at the balcony watching as the sun lowers for another night.

Luna moves the moon and listens to the sounds of the night remembering what she saw.

What is it that she wanted to gain? If she knows that they are a equalizer in our society why did she have them killed off and enslaved instead of trying to reason with them. The books said they are reasonable creatures indeed but something about the story doesn't seem right.

"Another glorious moon as always." A voice too well heard to forget say.

Luna turns to see Discord lounging in a flying hammock rocking side to side.

"Whats got you so lost in thought my dead?"

"Its none of your business Discord. Why aren't you in Ponyville?"

"Oh don't worry about me little Tia. I'm just relaxing for a while in luxury. After all with all the history."

The way he says it... does he know that...

"But I might as well get going and get some sleep in. Who knows what tomorrow can bring really. Good night Tia and oh yea a word of advice. Be careful with your actions and the way you speak. The words in lies speak an even greater truth."

And with a puff of pink he was gone. Luna stares at the spot for awhile mauling over Discord's haunting words. He was probably just up to his old antiques again when he...

"No... the past is the past..." She says looking up at the moon.

She takes flight and heads for her room.

Author's Note

Back from vacation and I'm glad to be back! The internet at the Condo sucked so bad! I couldn't even save what I wrote while there!

More along the short side trying to thicken the plot a bit before all the other stuff happens.
