//-------------------------------------------------------// The Peacekeepers -by Honorablesamurai8- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue Canterlot Inside the private quarters of the famous and well loved, Princess Celestia. Normally around in the afternoon, she'd be doing some work, like keeping the peace everywhere in Equestria balanced, make sure that there is no possible threat that can turn Equestria upside down. Though, knowing that she wouldn't be alone out there and that she knows that Twilight would report to her if something would've happen in Ponyville. Instead, she had something that was far more important anything imaginable. Celestia was sitting on her throne, waiting for two other royal princesses. Her well trusted sister, Princess Luna, and Twilight's sister-in-law, Princess Mi Amore Cadance. Celestia had sent a letter to Cadance, which said:Dear Cadance, Please report yourself tomorrow at the throne room in Canterlot. Further, Celest ia also requested to bring something with her. An important item, which is far more important as keeping the peace in balance. There was a glow of dark blue magic coming from the doors of the throne room, which were pushed open, revealing the two princesses, one princess who is dark as the night and one princess who has colours that represent the colors of love. Princess Cadence, princess of the Crystal Empire, levitated a rolled up parchment scroll to Princess Celestia. "Here are the worthy recruits." "Thank you Cadence." Celestia said with an appreciated voice, as she took over the scroll with her magic. She then opened up the scroll, revealing it to be longer then it appears when rolled up, revealing a list of a numerous amount of pony names. Celestia conjure many blank parchment and also conjure up a plume and a bottle of ink. She immediately started making many letters at once with her magic "Now sister, I'm not doubting your plan, but are you sure this is a good idea?" Said her sister, the princess of the night, Princess Luna, "Yes," Princess Celestia answered in a soft tone. "I am certain that we need more warriors." She said as she continued her work. "But why?" Princess Cadence asked. "Aren't we supported by the Royal Gaurds already?" "You remember the Changeling Invasion, correct?" Princess Celestia asked. Princess Cadence froze, she hated that terrifying day. Memories started to appear of what had happened, but were quickly wiped away by Luna's unexpected answer "Of course she remembered that day, she was the first victim when the Changeling planned the invasion to take over Equestria." Princess Cadance, looking uneasily to Luna, trying to show that she found it very unpleasant to bring back the memories, but she was wrong, and Luna continued. "She remembered being replaced by the queen of the changelings, and the invasion clearly, it really horrified her, but she's glad that her new sister-in-law, Twilight Sparkle, knew something was going on with the fake Princess Cadence." Luna then turned her head to Cadance. She winked and turned her head back to the direction of Celestia. "We were really lucky that time," Celestia confirmed. "If it wasn't for Twilight Sparkle. Equestria would've been overrun by Changelings. I can't imagine what would really happened if their plan had succeeded." Celestia said, as she imagined the worst of what could have happened. "That is why we need more warriors, "Celestia stated. "They greatly out number us, their queen was able to defeat me, and were able to get under our noses." "But why do you want young and untrained fillies and colts? Why not the experienced and trained adult ponies?" Princess Cadence asked. "Wait a minute..." Princess Luna questioned, as she started to piece things together. She was horrified when she got the idea. "Dear sister, please don't tell me that..." "Yes my sister," Celestia interrupted. "I know we abandoned that plan centuries ago, but we need to do it for the sake of protecting Equestria. But I'm not forcing them to, it is their choice to serve me or not." Luna nodded. "I'll get the training area ready then," she said, as her horn started to glow, as she was preparing her teleportation spell. A bright flash of light, which only lasted for about a second, and Luna had disappeared. "Wait, what's going?" Princess Cadence asked in confusion, clearly not knowing what is going on. "You'll find out later." Princess Celestia replied as she continued her work. "Alright then, I guess I'll leave for the time being. Please be kind and let me know if there is anything new to report." "You have my word." Celestia answered. With that Cadence now also used her magic as she teleported away. Leaving Princess Celestia by herself. After almost an hour, Celestia was finished making all the letters, she teleported them away to their destination. Ponyville Inside the Golden Oak Library, the green purple dragon and Princess Celestia's faithful student were having a good day, no problems around town, no craziness, it was just a perfect day to relax. Spike was right now bothering Twilight, who was busy reading a book. Spike is constantly asking her for a simple, but rather stupid favor. "For the hundredth time Spike, my answer is still no." Twilight answered in annoyance as she turned to the next page. "Oh come on Twilight, all I want is a beard and a moustache that comes with it," Spike bagged, as he gave Twilight the puppy eyes which were even more annoying then just asking a favour multiple times, since this is now the 101th time he asked and the fact Spike took the book away from her. Twilight took the book back with her magic. "Spike I'm warning you, if you keep asking, I'll take away those gem stones I promised to give you for all the hard work you've done." She threatened. Spike's face was horrified, then the face changes that looks like he drank expired sour milk, and his face continues to change that look awful. It looks like he's making faces to annoy the lavender unicorn, if he is it's working because you can clearly see a vain popping out from Twilight. "That's it Spike! No gemst-" She was cut off when Spike suddenly burped spitting out a small amount of fire, luckily she moved out of the way just on time. The magical green flames formed two envelopes and one rolled up parchment scroll. "Letters from the princess?" Twilight said in confusion, she levitated the two envelopes to her, they both have names on them, but neither had her or any of the other Mane 6s' names, she then look at the scroll and it read... Dear Twilight Sparkle, I need you to give those letter to those two ponies immediately as soon as possible, it is urgent so do it in any means necessary. From Princess Celestia After finish reading, Twilight immediately ran out of the library, with Spike hot on her tail. "Wait Twilight! What about my beard?" "Not now Spike!" Twilight screamed in annoyance as she ran as fast as she could.
