The Knife that broke Discord's back

"Hey Oakey, Come here." I walk over to where my buddy Lumberman is and see a medium sized red-garnet pendant that was on a tree branch my buddy was about to cut down to bits. The glistening gold pendant had wonderfully carved designs that led into the most beautifully crafted piece of garnet I'd ever seen, clear cut into the shape of a flare red lightning bolt. Then it hits me:

"That's the Necklace of Loyalty!!" I scratch my head just in front of my mane trying to think what such an important artifact was doing out in a lumbering camp in between Foal Mountain and Canterlot. Then I hear something in my head like the necklace was trying eagerly to tell me something urgent.

"When the the bell tolls 10:01, your journey has begun. When the clock tolls 4:00, the assailant runs for the door." It's voice was gasping, but gallant. It seemed to be running out of power or something. I run back to the cabin, clock out, and make a bee-line for the throne room of Canterlot Castle. When I reach the gate, I show my I.D to the royal guards and they let me in to see the princess when they see me holding the Pendant of Loyalty.

"Princess Celestia!!!" She turns her head and glances down, she gasps in udder shock. She whispers to Princess Luna and then turns to talk to me.

"Where did you find it...?" She is still partly in shock, I can tell these sorts of things.

"On the outskirts of the Foal Mountain Valley logging camp." She stares at Luna and nods in affirmation.

"I'll take it and see what must be done." She holds back the fear in her eyes.

"Yes, My princess." I turn to walk out and a guard stops me. He was a tall white Unicorn fellow with a furrowed brow.

"Have you heard the rumors...?" He stares into my eyes with pure fear.

"Yes, I have. The new Element holders will be chosen soon."
