"Ewwwww, my hooves all brown and dirty," Rarity complained
"Where's the portal?! Is it here? There? Under here? I'm soo excited!" Pinkie said looking around everywhere.
Soo far they have been wandering around the forest but found no lead, they were totally lost and don't know where to go.
"Twi, do you think this is a lost cause?" Applejack asked. "I mean we have no idea where we're going."
"No we're not we're just... exploring," Twilight assured.
"Twilight, why don't we go to the old castle, maybe we might find some information there." Spike suggested.
"Spike you a genius!" Twilight said. They start going back and soon arrived at the river. They crossed it, and started down the trail, soon they found the castle. They all made their way into the library and started searching for books.
"No not that, no, that's not it, no, no, no, not it either, where is it?" Twilight searched through the books, but Rainbowdash found the book.
"Hey Twilight is this the book?" Rainbowdash asked.
"That's it!!!" Dropping the other books Twilight placed the book down and started reading it, "If ye have all the scared stones, place it around and thy power will be shown, for a portal shall summon and take you to yonder."
"Wait, what sacred stones?" Rarity asked.
"I don't know, the rest is a blank," Twilight answered flipping through the pages.
"Let's find another," Spike advised. They again searched thorough the books. They also searched in the secret library Twilight found last time when they went there.
Pinkie pie was jumping around the place. She tripped and books went flying everywhere. Luckily they found the book right on the mess Pinkie made. Twilight picked it up (with her magic of coarse) and started reading it out loud.
"The Sacred Stones of Everfree are unknown and priceless relics, it is said there is six but only one was found." Twilight was looking at her friends but they were as blank as her. "Before Princess Celestia's rule in Equestria she lived in the Everfree, she and her sister live harmonically together,"
"Wait, hold on why is Princess Celestia part of this?" Rainbowdash interrupted.
"Read more! Read more! I want to find out what happens!" Pinkie squealed in excitement.
"Well, but one day her sister Princess Luna was possessed by evil thus turning her to Nightmare Moon, the same day the six sacred stones appeared. Princess Celestia fought with Nightmare Moon," Everpony knew this part, but there was something they didn't know, "Nightmare Moon used the six sacred stones against the elements of harmony, but she was defeated and by punishment was banished to the moon." Twilight then read the aftermath, "Celestia found one of the stones the rest vanished." Twilight was excited now, "I'll asked Princess Celestia if she knows where that one stone is!" Getting a pen and quill she wrote, Dear Princess Celestia... After writing everything down she gave it to Spike. "Send it Spike."
"Got it," Spike said and sent it to the Princess, "On it's way now Twilight."
Minutes later they got a answer, Spike gave it to Twilight and she read.
"My most faithful student Twilight, I am impressed on your progress and wish you well, one of the stone which I found was left in the castle's throne room. Under a loose tile near my throne you'll find what you need. Sincerely Princess Celestia."
"Ok let's go there now!" Raibowdash said about to speed out the door, Applejack disagreed and soo did the others, they were just too tired from what happened today.
"Where do we rest for tonight?" Fluttershy asked.
"I know," Rarity said. She lead them all to a room, it was cozy even though they had no beds it was comfy. "I saw this room last time we were here," Rarity said.
"Well, goodnight y'all," Applejack said as she collapsed on the floor. Everyone said goodnight to each other and went to sleep.
Twilight was cleaning the library, again. As she was sorting the books out, she noticed a loose block right behind one of the shelves, " Never seen that before." Using her magic she jerked the block out. Inside sat a book, "This must be a rare book!" She finished up her work resorting the books, went upstairs and started reading the book.
Spike came home from the quills and sofas store, "Twilight! Im back! Twilight!?"
"Up here Spike!"
Spike left the things in Twilight's desk, he found Twilight sitting in the balcony, "Twilight what are you reading now?"
Twilight explained everything to Spike; there is this legend somewhere in the Everfree forest is a portal that can leads to another dimension. Only an alicorn can proform the spell to open the portal.
"Spike! We must go there! I wonder what the other world's like. We must bring our friends along!"
Twilight and Spike went searching for Pinkie, they found her with Rainbow and Applejack.
"And now, we will see who will be the Iron Pony!!" Pinkie Screamed, "Applejack is getting the upper hand! No it's Rainbowdash! It's Applejack! No it's Rainbowdash! Applejack! Rainbowdash! APPLEJACK!! RAINBOWDASH!! This is getting exciting! This is getting exciting! Who will win the hoof wresle, who will-"
Pinkie pie!! They you guys are, what are you guys doing?"
"Oh hey Twi, were just finding out who will be-"
"The most daring and awesome pony of all!!" Rainbowdash finished
"Ya what she said," Applejack muttered.
"I was going to say is that I found this..." Twilight explained everything from the start and asked if they want to come.
"That, sounds, AWESOME!!!" Rainbowdash exclaimed.
"Sure," Applejack agreed.
"I wanna tag along too!" Pinkie chimed in.
They went to Rarity's, they found her fitting a dress on Fluttershy. They asked them to come but it took a while.
"I absolutely dont want to go, my coat will be dirty and my hooves will be muddy," Rarity exclaimed. After a while they convinced Rarity to come. They had a hard time convincing Fluttershy to come. After quite some time she finally agreed to come along.
-At The Entry Of The Forest-
"Ready everypony?" Twilight asked
"I'm so excited!!" Pinkie squealed
"We're all ready Twi," Applejack answered
"I'm not so sure," Fluttershy whispered
They then all entered the forest, ready to start the journey.
