The Elements of Discord
The Six Elements
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Spike, where is that book I asked for?" Twilight asks as Spike comes strolling out of the upstairs. "It wasn't upstairs, and I'm pretty sure that this sun problem is nothing to worry about." As he finished speaking, Luna bursts through the door with the other five Elements of Harmony. "Twilight, you must come with us. It's of the upmost urgency." Twilight nods her head and tells Spike to stay behind and watch the place. As Twilight and the gang approach Celestia and Discord, they could see the worry on Discord's face. They knew that if it worried Discord, it must be bad. "What is this all about?" Twilight asks the princesses. Celestia turns to Discord as he explains the story of the Elements he created. "YOU DID WHAT?!" Rainbow Dash exclaims as she dashes toward Discord only to be stopped by Celestia. "It is in the past. Though it may be Discord who unleashed this evil, he earned me about it instead of keeping it a secret until it was far too late." Celestia turned to Discord. "Please explain these Elements of yours and exactly what powers they have." Discord looks around at the group and lowers his head. "That's the problem. I may have created them, but I don't know EXACTLY what their powers are. I only know what each one represents. I never even got to name them." Discord walls overt to the Window and let's out a sigh. "The six Elements are as I say them: Chaos, Insanity, Fabrication, Greed, Failure, and Misfortune. If I were to take a guess, I'd say a majority of them still reside in the Everfree forest. Now that I recall, one did return to me, but I gave her two things after training her and sent her on her way. I thought of her as my daughter." For the first time, the ponies saw Discord she'd a year of sadness. Her name is Screwball. if you meet a pony with purple swirly eyes, that's her. She is the Element of Chaos." Discord turns back towards the group. "I must warm you, if you are to go after them, they will not be easy to defeat." Twilight nods her head and turns toward the group. "With the information Discord just shared with us, the first place for us to look is the Everfree Forest." As the ponies agreed and turned to walk away, Discord stopped them. "I almost forgot. If you do manage to "defeat" them, an item that represents their Element will appear before you. Bring back all six to me, and I can fix the sun. But you only have 5 days to find them all. If you fail to do so, their powers will be fully developed. It only takes one to cause 1000 years of darkness. No sun and no moon, for 1000 years. I usually don't do this, but I wish you luck." Fluttershy sheds a tear and his Discord. "We will try our best." She assured him. The gang turns and heads for the front door. Twilight looks up to the faded sun as they walked outside. "Next stop, the Everfree Forest."
