The Original Elements of Harmony

A warm breeze gently flowed through Canterlot as the ponies of Equestria lived out their lives happily and carelessly. All except Celestia. She sat in her throne room, crying after her sister, Luna, turned into Nightmare Moon and lashed out at her in a violent manor. After she had collected herself, she called over one of her royal guards that was wearing normal gold armor. The tall and stout stallion trotted up to her and asked "How may I be of your assistance your highness?" The tall princess slightly looked down to meet his brown eyes and said "Guard, I need you to travel around all of Equestria to find the best magic experts you can. Do not ask why, just do as I say" She said bluntly. The guard could tell that she was in no condition to be questioned so he quickly trotted out if the gargantuan White Castle and onto the dirt roads of the rich city of Canterlot. The Pegasus took in the scenery as he swiftly headed for the train station that leads to every major city of Equestria. A small smile appeared on his face as he smelled the aroma of the near by pastries making fresh batches of multiple foods that could make anypony drool. The sound of loud clanking was heard as the local black smiths created weapons of different kinds to be taken to the troops or to be sold on the market. The stallion almost lost concentration but shook his head as he entered the area of where the train station was just as a steam engine train chugged to a stop. Some ponies glanced at him as he went up to the ticket booth and got a ticket for where ever that train was going. He looked at the yellow ticket that had the word "Ponyville" right smack in the middle of it. "Huh..I guess that's where I'm going" he mumbled to himself as he stepped on the green and golden train cart
