Chapture One - Legend or Fairy Tale?

It is night time in Equestria. The moon glowed, and the stars sparkled the night sky. All is peaceful as Princess Luna flow through the sky's patrolling her night, while at the same time Princess Celestia was at her sleeping quarters catching some Z's dreaming away.

"HO HA HA HA HA HA HA HA..."

In the depths of the spectral plans of her dream that witch resembled her mane, hears a mysterious laughter.

"Who is this?" Celestia ask's.

"Princess Celestia, it's been a long time."

"E'll ask again, who are you? Reveal yourself!" Celestia demanded.

"So... you don't remember me. Fine, as you wise... princess."

As Princess Celestia awaited the reveal of her uninvited guest. A sudden vale of yellow mist surrounded her. It began to grow in size and take shape. Celestias eye's widen'd at a familiar sight she hope't she never saw again.

"No.. i-it can't be!" Celestia said.

"Your eyes don't lye. I'm coming back and their will be nopony to stand in my way, and when I do, all of Equestria will be mine once again."

"Their is still one pony, and he will beat you again like last time!" Celestia said.

"Oh, I don't think so. HE is never coming BACK! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

As the maniacal laughter ecowd, the yellow mist began to spine an swirl around Princess Celestia. It then quickly engulf her. Princess Celestia soon woke up in a "pant". As she try's to catch her breath, Luna stood in her room with concern.

"Is something wrong dear sister?" Luna ask's.

"Um-no, nothings wrong. Nothing to worry about Luna." Celestia ensured.

"Tia, don't you lie to me. You know me better then that." Luna said.

Celestia, trying to hide her worry's, stood and walk'd out the window to the balcony and said "I don't know what your talking about."

Luna soon follow'd celestia to the balcony. Both stood next to each other looking at the sky side by side, and ask'd "He's coming back, is he Tia?"

"How did you know Luna?" Ask'd Celestia.

"I AM THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT. Thus it is my dutie to come in to pony's dreams. You, my eldest sister, are no exception"

"Sorry dear sister, force of habit." Celestia said.

"What are we to do Tia? Without the element's of harmony, who are we to combat this forgotten enemy? Tia..."

*SIGH* "Their is only one pony who can beat this evil Luna."

"You can't be serious sister. Nopony has seen nor heard from him again. I doubt any pony even remembers him." Luna said.

"Only in fairy tales dear Luna, only in fairy tales. But I believe Princess Twilight and her friend's can be of help."

"Help? Help of what?" Luna asked.

"To find him Luna. Find and assist him in defeating this demented king." Celestia said.

Princess Luna just stood their with great doubtful expression on her face. She wasn't sure if the colt of legend can be found. But Princess Luna trusted her sister's decision, hoping the mane six succeed.

Night later became day. The butterfly's flow, the birds chirp't, and the animals scurried about. Deep within the dark and dangerous everfree forest. Beyond on a tall hill are ruins of an ancient castle, an ancient castle once the home of the sun an moon princesses of Equestria. Twilight with her check list held by Spike marking each task, were making sure that the restorations in the castle where getting done. Rarity stitching the curtains, carpets, and tapestry's. Applejack picking up the rubble. Pinkiepie continuing her outrageous scrubbing around the castle halls. RainbowDash flying about patching up any cracks and holes. Fluttershy simply making sure the animals are safe, and replanting the tree's and garden's. It look't like everything was going smoothly.

"Good job girls, the castle is looking great! What's left on the list Spike?" Ask'd Twilight.

"Hmmm..." Spike taping the pencil against his lips. "Well Twilight, it appears we're ahead of schedule. We should be done soon." Said Spike.

Before Spike can continue, he suddenly belch't out a letter. A letter Twilight knew came from Princess Celestia.

"What's that you 'got thar sugarcube? A letter from them 'princesses I bet'en." Applejack said.

"OH OH WHAT 'DOSE IT SAY, WHAT 'DOSE IT SAY!" Pinkiepie exclaimed eagerly.

"Yeah Twi, what dose it say?" Rainbowdash ask's.

"Alright alright hold on. I'm just'bout getting to that. Uhmm. Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle, it is of great importance that you and your friends come to Canterlot right away. I sense a great evil coming to equestria, and I believe you six may beadle to help. sign Princess Celestia."

"So Twilight dear, what did celestia say?" Rarity ask's.

"Yeah, what's Celestia want?" Ask'd RainbowDash.

"Um, it seems Princess Celestia wants us at Canterlot at once."

The six pony's now pause in confusion, wondering what could be so important for the mane six to come to Canterlot.

Meanwhile, back at Canterlot. Princess Celestia anxiously passes the throne room awaiting Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

"Tia, you really mustn't worry. I'm sure Twilight and her cohorts will arrive very soon." Luna said.
