Tales of Harmony: Book 1

Chapter 1: Magic

Dusk Gleam sat on her bed and concentrated hard. A book with a blue aura around it lifted into the air. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. Dusk's book fell and she ran to the door. She opened it. "Hello. Can I come in?" said Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"Uh...y-y-yes." Dusk said nervously. The princess stepped in, and smiled at Dusk, who asked, "Why are you here?"

"I need you to come with me to Canterlot." Twilight said, and her expression saddened a bit.

"But Mommy doesn't know I'm going."

Twilight sadly smiled and teleported her and Dusk to her castle bedroom. She motioned for Dusk to sit on her bed and sighed. "Dusk...your mom is gone." Twilight closed her eyes, tears forming in them.

"W-what?" Dusk asked, eyes wide, tears forming.

"Groider...killed her. I'm sorry..." Twilight had tears falling down her cheeks. Dusk started crying, then ran and hugged Twilight, who was silently crying. "I'm sorry...Celestia said you can stay with me. In the castle. I need to stay for a couple weeks anyway, to sort out Groider. Which I'll talk to you about later." The two ponies stayed in the room for a while, until Twilight stood up. "I'll leave you here for a while, okay? Come down to the dining hall for lunch later." Dusk sniffed and nodded, her black Rainbow Dash-like mane bouncing. She sat down and looked at herself in a mirror. Her light blue body looked perfect in her mother's eyes. So did the streak of purple in her mane. Her dark blue eyes closed as she fell asleep in front of the mirror.

"Dusk...lunchtime." Twilight's voice woke Dusk. She nodded and stood up. Twilight started walking out of the room, and Dusk followed. After a lunch that felt like a feast, Dusk walked into Twilight's room.

"Dusk...I need to tell you something." Twilight said softly.

"What can possibly make my day worse?"

"...maybe what I'm about to show you." Twilight summoned a jewel encrusted box, and took out a crown with her magic. Dusk gasped.

"What is that?"

"The element of Magic. At least it's crown. Look at it. It has my cutie mark..."

"Because you were the last element of Magic."

"Not the last." Twilight placed the crown on Dusk's head. It glowed purple, and her eyes glowed white.

"What's happening..."

And that is when she fainted.
