Princess of the Stars
prologue
by Icefire
"Twilight, Equestria to Twilight." "oh uh..Hi Rainbow" "You ok? You're a little out of it today." "Yes of course, I'm fine just...um..a new spell." "All right. Bye, egghead." But. it's not ok she thought. It's not ok at all. When she drank Zicora's potion, she saw a third alicorn, but only when they had discovered the elements of harmony and defeated Discord. Where did she go? That night,as Twilight drifted of to sleep, she had just closed her eyes when she awoke in the place she had become an alicorn."I really must find out what the name of this place is." she observed, not realizing she had spoken aloud." "It doesn't have one." said a voice to her left. Twilight spun around, horn blazing to face the unknown threat. Then she saw that it was the alicorn she had seen. She looked sort of like princess Luna, but she was lavender. A darker shade than her's, of course, but still light enough to be lavender. Her mane was silver with what looked to be stars inside. Her cutie mark looked exactly like Luna's, but with a star instead of a crescent moon. "My name is Princess Estrellla.
Princess of Stars,former bearer of the elements of laughter and loyalty." "I'm-" Twilight began "I know who you are. I called you here." "But why?" "Sit down and I will tell you my story." Suddenly, Estrella looked up and started humming. It was a song both unknown and familiar to Twilight. The kind that moves in tune with your soul. "What are you singing?" Twilight inquired. "oh, that? That was just a song.It's really old.Now are you comfortable? This could run a little long."Pausing for a moment to think Estrella had an idea "unless.......we do a magic link." With a nod from Twilight,she begins the spell...

chapter 1
Twilight say Celestia in the throne room,looking worried"Willist thou haveth a seat?" Good thing she had some practice understanding it when ponies speak like that, from when Pri....Luna got back."We must talk about that dark fog.""Fi sister" shouted the alicorn she had just meant. What was her name again? Estrella. That's it."tis just fog.""A great number of the ponies from this empire have started mumbling about nightmare forces.Tis that not a cause for concern? And where didist Luna go?"Just then,a younger Luna walked in,with bits of cloud stuck to her mane,and pulled up a chair,giving Estrella a stink eye."I agree with Tia on this one. Now let us go, for tis time to raise the sun and moon,and for you to raise the stars."Hmmm Estrella thought I think that I shall make them spell the recipe for daisy soup, for that cook,Lemon Pie, can only cook pastries.After Celestia and Luna raise the sun and moon,She took a night flight as she rearranged them.As Estrella landed on the balcony,She said,as if trying to convince herself "It's just fog."

Next,Twilight saw the royal war room.It was filled with soldiers pouring over a map.The doors swung open and Celestia walked in,Luna on her right,Estrella on the left.They all looked about two years older."We call this meeting to order"Celestia yelled as the three princesses pulled out their chairs and sat down."We have come to discuss the fog in the east,for we now know that tis know as the Nighmare Forces and that tis really powerful." Estrella stood up"Sister,may I speak? We know that once it has found a host body,it will be even stronger,for then it will have the power of the host as well as it's own. I say we strike now,well it is at it's weakest." Luna stood up to offer her views."Well that sounds acceptable at first,think of the danger! Methinks if the attack failed,it would have no trouble taking over one of the defeated soldiers, or even you,for I know tis you who wants to lead them.We do not know how it acts."Now, Celestia stood up"This meeting is adjourned and has been inconclusive."

In the next scene,a royal guard in armor the same color as Princess Estrella's mane ran into the room "Your majesty," He said bowing,"The Nightmare forces have....awoken, tis imperitive that one of thee must get there immediately." After a second's pause to think,she replied"Thou shall warn the civilians,but let my sisters sleep I shall deal with THIS." Estrella ran out onto the balcony and took off. She landed in a barren land beside the Crystal Empire.Then she went into a screaming rage." Show yourself you COWARDS!" Suddenly,a great blackness rose,looming over her"Oh,how sweet,the wittle princess wants to play.You don't honestly think that thou can beat US" "The elements of loyalty and laughter alone are more than enough to stop a coward such as thee." The elements started rotating,becoming a blur,suddenly a rainbow shot out,but it was faded and unstable,when it hit the Nightmare Forces, they just laughed."Oh,don't you know anything? The elements must be used together." They all smirked."Our turn." Estrella
activated her magic,retreating to the place they were then. However,they had hit her with a spell that effectively trapped her. With one word the princess just about summed it up"Crap."
Esrella turned to Twilight"You see, part of the spell they hit me with kept me from contacting Tia or Lulu, and I couldn't contact anybody who didn't know about me,although I could watch over Equestria still.Could you remove the spell?" "Of course!" "I think I will stay in Ponyville for a time,with all the things I've seen,me showing up can't be the weirdest thing that's happened to them."Twilight bolted out of bed,and ran for the books about how to undo spells she prepared it and in a matter of minuets a swirling pillar of pink magic had appeared after it dissipated,on the floor,was Princess Esrella.
