The beginning

I don't know what happen. One moment everything was fine until... I don't even know. Why did this have to happen and why now, but I know that this isn't some sort of dream or illusion. I just wish none of this happened... I just wish...

As we look into the Canterlot Castle, we look upon a dazed and exhausted Twilight Sparkle continue in all her efforts to defeat Queen Chrysalis in battle in which she is in uneven ground with chrysalis being a greater opponent she never wanted to face. "I have to at least hold at bay until my friends get here to help me in banishing Chrysalis." In midst of battle, Chrysalis had started to grow bored with this meaningless fight.

Twilight Sparkle even some ponies had a sense to back down from this fight, like your dear Princess Cele-" Twilight interrupted Chrysalis by taking advantage in firing a high level incantation on Chrysalis.

"No! Your wrong Chrysalis, Princess Celestia would never back down from the likes of you!" Enraged, Twilight fires another spell and surprised on how she can continue on firing spells without getting exhausted.

"Twilight Sparkle... no matter how much you struggle, I am going to win and take over Canterlot... wait no actually all of Equestria!" Chrysalis laughs evilly all the while Twilight thinks of a counter measure in at least making this battle evenly far so she can hold off Chrysalis on even ground.

"I will not allow that! Once the girls come with the elements of harmony we will defeat you Chrysalis." As in on some random miracle, Twilight's friends appear next to her.

"Girls you made it, thank Celestia." Twilight felt relieved by seeing her friends and she looked directly at Chrysalis with eyes of determination."See Chrysalis now my friends are right here by my side and now we will defeat you together."

Chrysalis at first looked afraid and baffled, but upon closer exception Chrysalis saw something odd about the rest of the elements of harmony. What looked like puppet strings tied on their body and it lead all the way to a mysterious creature."Muahahahahaha!" Chrysalis laughing caught Twilight off guard, that she started to wonder if something went wrong, but disregards the idea.

"What's so funny Chrysalis... we are going to win and you're... laughing?" Twilight was confused at why Chrysalis was laughing, but then she realized something. Her friends aren't saying anything about the matter at hoof. Twilight starts to sweat and she looks over to where her friends were to get some reassurance that they were actually there. Upon seeing them... she froze in place. Her friends were there yes, but they were not conscience at all. They were in-cased of some magically shield of sorts plus she noticed the puppet strings on her friends. She gulped and followed the trail of the puppet strings to the source and saw some pony or actually some dracon that she didn't want to see.

"Viola!' Discord was there holding the puppet strings in his talon/lion paws. "Well Twilight my dear it looks like I have won this round again. Muahahaha!" Twilight looked at discord petrified and she started to shake in fear as her pupils shrank to pinpricks. "Twilight Sparkle... you should know that you never turn your back on the enemy."

Upon hearing Chrysalis say that, Twilight turned around and saw Chrysalis's horn charge up. Twilight stood still for a few seconds and saw the spell fire. She jumped out of the way, but unfortunately the part of the spell hit her and she started to get dizzy as a result. Walking back, Twilight almost tripped over her own hoofs, fortunately she caught on the wall for balance as her forehead started to ooze with blood. She notices that the wall she is holding on to is actually a window pane showing the image of herself and her friends around her with the elements of harmony."Well Twilight... I think it's time I put an end to your element of magic or better yet... your very own life!"

Twilight's face turns pale as she looks up only to see Chrysalis fire a spell directly at her. Time seems to slow down as Twilight tries to move her body out of the way, but to no avail. Twilight hoped to be saved by some pony... any pony! Sadly that was not going to happen. The spell comes in contact with Twilight in hitting her through the window pane and now... Twilight started to fall down to her grave. Twilight tries to teleport, but her magic reserves had run out. ("This can't end like this... it can't!")

As Twilight continue to fall she already started realizing that no pony is going to save her. "It's happening... isn't it." Twilight said those words with a lifeless expression on her face. For some odd reason Twilight saw that time seemed to slow down for her... not that she cared or anything really since she is going to die very soon. "Might as well make my sentence last longer," she thought. Suddenly, she started to feel as though she is recalling some old memories she had in the past when she was small.

As we look the city of Canterlot, we see an early riser or eager filly waiting in front of her house at the mailbox. She seems excited as she is smiling and also jumping non stop. She gasps happily upon the sight of the mail pony coming down the streets of Canterlot doing his daily routine. "Let's see here... got a letter for Twilight Velvet." Twilight hears the mention of her mothers name and starts to have a questioning look. "Thats it?" The mail pony nodes his head in confirming to Twilight's question. "Yes, that is all I got." The mail pony notices the purple filly in front of him and sees her once happy smile to a frown.

"What's wrong kiddo?" The mail pony's mind clicks as he remembered seeing this filly from somewhere. "Oh! Aren't you one of the few ponies that went to take a test to get into Princess Celestia's school for gifted unicorns?" Upon hearing the school name Twilight's frown deepens even more than it already is. "I am guessing you were waiting for your results." Twilight nodes her head to confirm. Twilight takes the letters with a sigh and turns to head inside.

Before Twilight closes the door, she hears what the mail pony says before leaving. "Don't worry, I am sure you will get it later on today." With that said, the mail pony walk of to continue his job routine. Upon hearing that, Twilight brightens up and was determined that on what the mail pony said was true. She headed inside to eat breakfast with her awaiting family.

Later on that day, Twilight is in her room reading a new book that she recently got from the local library. A knock resounds from the front door, but Twilight does not hear it since she has zoned out all noise so that she can read without any pony disturbing her. Twilight Velvet goes to answer the door and sees the same mail pony that was was delivering the mail this morning. "Good evening ma'am, I have letters for ponies named Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor." Twilight Velvet takes the letters and reads the front from each. "Thank you very much," Velvet looks up and smiles to the mail pony. "No problem ma'am and have a very good evening," with that said the mail pony turns to leave with a grin on his face.

Velvet quickly examines the two letters, only to beam with excitement. She quickly, but quietly goes to show her husband. Upon showing her husband, he also has the same expression as his wife. They both thought of a quick way to bring the news to their kids at dinner. They both look at each other and felt as though they both had the same idea. Nodding their heads, they went ahead and started to prepare for dinner.

At dinner they waited for their kids to get down to eat. Upon hearing hooves galloping down the steps, they switched their expressions from happy to serious. When Shining and Twilight arrived to the dinner table, they both saw their parents in a serious mood. Automatically they both started to sweat and wonder if they were in any trouble. "Twilight, Shining... we both need to tell you two something important." Twilight and Shining immediately looked at each other with shifting eyes."Now will you two please have a seat." Both nodded their heads and did what their mother said.

"Now that we are all here. Lets get to the topi-." Velvet was interrupted by Twilight gasped loudly. "Okay,Okay mom I stole from the sweet cabinet!" Velvet and Nightlight raised their eyebrow at this." What do you mean Twily?" Twilight looked at her father with a shame of guilt. "I also help steal from the cabinet!" Now all eyes were on Shining with the parents having a raised eyebrow at this too. "Hold on... let me get this straight... both of you stole from the sweet cabinet?" Both guilty parties looked at their father and nodded their heads in shame. "Well then... I guess both of you are not allowed to eat dessert for a week." They both groaned in disappointment, but accepted what was given to them and listed to father.

"So honey... should I break the news or do you want to do it?" Twilight looked at her father with confusion and surprise look. ("News? I thought...?") Nightlight sees his wife giving a practical ‘I will do it’ type of look. "Shining Armor," Shining looked up to his mom with nervousness. "Yes mom?"

There was a few moments of silence looming over the room until Velvet speaks her peace. "Let me tell you how proud I am of you, Shining." Velvets expression switched from serious mood to overjoyed smile. Shining looked at his mother in confusion at what he had heard.("She's proud of me? For what?") "What do you mean mom?" Shining asked this with a still confused expression. "I think it's better for me to show you then tell you "'What I mean?'" She levitates the letter over to Shining for him to look it over.

Curious he opened the letter and read the letter word by word. Each time he finished a single sentence his eyes would widen and widen that they look as if they would bulge out of their sockets. Twilight was curious at what got her brothers attention so she scooted over to see the letter. Upon finish reading the last sentence Twilight is also surprised, but overjoyed mostly for her brother.

"Twily, lets not forget about you either." Twilight looked over to her father and sees the letter in his magical grasp. Twilight's eyes are glued to the letter and she freezes upon seeing it. Twilight's heart skips a beat, now wondering what could it be? "Is it my results?! Did I pass or did I fail?!" With that said, Twilight's curiosity gets the better of her and she gets the letter with quick precision. Twilight looks at the closed letter as she gulps and opens it to read the contents inside.

Dear Twilight Sparkle, You have been invited to join the prestigious school of Princess Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns. After reviewing your test results we were more than glad to allow you to come and enjoy this wondrous opportunity to join us in this event.

We hope you enjoy your stay in this wonderful school.

Principle Berry Weather

After Twilight finished reading that letter, well lets just say there was a lot of yes's, jumping,squee's, and practically a lot of excitement/joy.

Twilight re-opened her eyes to see that indeed she is still alive, but she is still falling. Twilight was actually starting to get intrigued that even though she is falling, time seemed to still be slow. She would had like to study this, but what will that do when she will fall to her death pretty soon. Again she started to remember another memory that happen when she will still just a filly.

"Alright Twilight Sparkle, whenever you are ready to begin." Twilight looked at her judges as well as Celestia next to them. Her eyes started to show a might sheer of determination, but on the inside she is actually more nervous than ever before. To the point that she is having doubts. Twilight looked at her parents for reassurance.Both Twilight Velvet and Night Light smiled and nodded for their daughter in body language saying,’You'll do good, we know you will.’ Twilight acknowledge the message and turn to try and hatch the dragon egg with her magic.("Alright Twilight... you can do this! If you can pass any test in a breeze, then you can pass this one!”)

After giving a self motivational speech to herself, she was ready. Twilight charged up the spell that she was told to use to hatch the egg successfully. The spell start's up making a‘hum’ noise and Twilight focuses on succeeding this spell with no problems. Her face contorts due to how much the spell is taking a toll on her being. Suddenly Twilight feels too exhausted to continue the spell, but continues anyway. The spell starts to die down as Twilight opened her eyes to find that... the egg had not hatched! Not even a smig showed that she had done anything with the egg. Twilight start's to have a sweat and she closes her eyes to think that maybe she was seeing things. She opens her eyes again and.... the egg is not smudged in any way. Now Twilight starts to have a mental breakdown... in the inside of course and on the outside she is wide eyed with shock to no ends.... she starts to get depressed.

("It... It didn't work... I didn't succeed! Oh no! I am going to fail... I'm going to fail...")The judges look upon this with a frown of disappointment while shaking their heads from side to side. Twilight see's this and her frown deepen.

You might notice something going on in the sky. A rainbow streak of sorts is flying straight down. Although, its not just a rainbow projectile, it was a cyan colored pegasus flying straight down to reach its destination. A spiral cone started to form around the pegasus starting from head to hoof. The spiral cone all of a sudden consumes the cyan colored filly and a ‘Boom’ could be heard from any distance close to the scene.

Back to Twilight who is now going to attempt on trying the spell again. She will not back down until she succeeds on hatching that dragon egg. She feels her spell starting up, but suddenly feels a disturbance in her magic. She feels the need to stop her spell. Only to suddenly feel her magic grow strong with no signs of stopping. If one were to know what is happening, Twilight is going through a magic disruption. She is engulfed in her magic that her eyes shone white and then Twilight releases the spell and hatches the dragon egg with no problems. If it weren't for the fact that when the egg hatched, you see the small baby dragon turn into a big dragon that grew so much, it practically destroyed the roof of the test exam. Then she shots another spell and turns her parents into plants.

Celestia notices the problem and goes to calm Twilights magical disturbance. As she arrives Twilight notices what she is doing and sees Celestia at her side. Twilight cancels her magic with quick precision. Once her magic is disappearing, the supposed big dragon goes back to its original form as well as her parents. Celestia sighs happily that the problem has now been defused. Twilight comes back to her senses and looks to see that indeed the egg has been hatched. (“HaveI done it? Did I pass?”)She surveys the area to see that all eyes were looking at her direction. (“I don’t think I passed… after what happened… how could I.”)

“Twilight Sparkle…” At the mention of her name, she looks to Princess Celestia knowing full well that she had messed up the test. “I am impressed, I have not seen any other unicorn filly with that much potential as you do with your magic. How would you like to study under my wing as my personal protege?” Twilight looks upon that question with mixed emotions. She wants to be excited, she wants to jump at that opportunity, and etc. She looks at her parents way and see that they are telling her in just on how they look. ‘Accept the offer. Go for it!’Satisfied she jumps in the air in excitement, but is interrupted by Princess Celestia, “Now hold on, there is something else that also happen in that exchange.”

Twilight settles down with a questionable face. “More?” Celestia sees this reaction and just simply points at something on Twilights flank. She follows the hoof and comes upon something or no actually it is a cutie mark. It looks like a six pointed star surrounded by five other stars. Twilights confusing face turns to one of joy. As you can guess, the purple filly is jumping up and down in excitement with a lot of yes’s.

While Twilight continues to revisit her memories. She doesn’t notice a certain projectile coming her way. It looks like a dark blue blob coming down. Twilight looked at the falling pieces of the broken window pane and sees herself with the rest of her five friends. That right there brought back some happy memories.

“My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying, so I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends!” Spike was informing on what Princess Celestia has informed for Twilight to do.

Twilight sighed heavily upon hearing the news. This was a turn of events that she did notlike what so ever.

“Look on the bright side, Twilight. The Princess arranged for you to stay in a library. Doesn't that make you happy?” Twilight looks at Spike with a look saying ‘No duh.’

“Yes, yes it does. You know why? Because I'm right! I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return.”

“Then... when will you make friends, like the Princess said?” Spike looked at Twilight with an awaiting look to see what she will respond with.

She immediately responds with confidence saying, “She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.”

“But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all... are my friends! You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!” As Twilight finish saying her peace. The element of magic that was mentioned descends down onto Twilights head as a crown piece.

Once it sets itself on Twilights head. It activates as well as the other elements with it. Twilights friends float as in the air with confused, but bewildered looks. Twilight is last to float up as her magic is activated with her eyes glowing white as all the elements glow and started to form together with the rest forming a rainbow color like beam. Said beam launches in the air and descends down upon Nightmare Moon whose eyes are filled with regret and terror.

As another memory recalled or last memory. We come to see Twilight celebrating her birthday with her birthday dress that was made by Rarity herself. Well actual it was made in an immediate process. Twilight is located outside of the Canterlot ball that was going to be held as the Grand Galloping Gala or the three G’s. Rarity looks upon in shock at her friends who are doing a kind of dance that we know as ‘Follow the leader’ with Twilight being last holding a music recorder.

What an exciting day for the mane 6 or well actually mane 5 ,excluding Rarity, who later on join her friends once the realization hits her.

Twilight once again, opens her eyes and see the speed of time, speed up in a sense. She just closes her eyes awaiting her life to end as what Chrysalis said. Though, what she didn't expect was for Luna to sweep down and break Twilight's fall. Twilight has just fallen asleep by this point from the lack of magic inside of her as well as the blood loss.

Luna looks at the sleeping Twilight with a sadden look on her face. It looks like she came in too late to attempt anything. What she will do is take Twilight and pick up Spike to move them far away from Ponyville and Canterlot to get both of them to safety. Luna will know in time as the prophecy said, “Once Twilight has lost, she will have to find and continue to search the hidden objects that will lead her to her destination of victory against all evil.”

“I am sorry dear Twilight… I have failed to come assist you in your time of need against... those vile villains.” Luna looks ahead at the Canterlot castle and sees Chrysalis looking down at them with a disappointed look, but just walks back inside. Luna looks at Twilight once more with a look of appreciation that Twilight has indeed survived.

“Twilight… You are going to carry on your friendship.” After saying that, she flies off to Ponyville in order to get the prophecy to come true.

Chapter 1

In the distance, Ponyville come into view. Princess Luna calmly glides forward with one exact location on her mind. As the wind blows on her majestic mane, she peers back to see Twilight still unconscious from the fight. “I am glad to have saved her, but sadden that I could not arrive early to save the rest of Twilight's friends as well as my dear sister.” Luna ponders if she should of listen to her sister in the first place to leave. She could of helped every pony escape or fight, but it is too late to consider that idea now.

“How has this trouble arise?...” As Luna continued to glide down to Ponyville “Golden Oaks Library.” She feels Twilight stirring behind her. Quick on the initiative, Luna flies down on the balcony and teleported herself inside with Twilight. There is a feeling of fear around the atmosphere, in which Luna recognizes this sign as one of her subjects or friend for this matter, having a nightmare. “I must calm Twilight, but first healing her is the primary objective.” Luna lowers her head and touches Twilight with her horn to start the process. There is a midnight blue hue resonating from her horn as well as it appears to cover Twilights whole body. The once battered Twilight is now a freshly healed one. Luna cancels her magic seeing as this job here is done.

“Now that Twilight is healed, its time to enter the realm of dreams once again.” Luna looks out at the dark sky seeing her moon has been risen, but it wasn’t her doing. “Discord…” Luna, having been doing this for a long time in her ruling time, situates herself and starts to breath in and out slowly as she closes her eyes. She leaves her eyes closed until she is losing feeling of the outside world and she starts to lean herself in the realm of dreams. The feeling of her hooves touching the floor, she re-opens her eyes to see the huge hallway of doors from the left and right side of her. Luna starts to move from door to door until she sees a door colored purple with pink around the ridges and what looks like Twilights cutie mark on the center of said door. Luna steps up to the door only to see it contain black tainted spots on Twilights cutiemark. These black spots resembles a pony having a nightmare or recalling a horrible memory.

Luna steps closer and starts hearing a certain noise. The sounds of crying are heard past that door, in which Luna stands before. Luna quickly, but quietly opens the door to find Twilight repeating the same events that happen back at the Canterlot Castle in her dream. Twilight getting cornered by Chrysalis, seeing her friends by her side, only to find out that they were all unconscious and captured by Discord. Then Twilight get grazed by Chrysalis spell and starts to walk back at the same window pane. Then lastly Twilight getting blasted through the window pane and falling. That same process repeated over and over for awhile. Having enough of this Luna charges her magic up and shots it upon the fake image of Chrysalis. Once it hits, the whole image disappears like as if, it were only an illusion.

Twilight bracing herself for the spell to hit her for who knows how many times. It doesn’t feel like anything is happening to her. No pain, no glass smearing her back… nothing. Twilight opens her eyes only to see a normal white room in front of her view. She is confused by this and starts to scan the room to see if she were hallucinating only to have her eyes land on Luna. “...Princess....Luna?” Luna smiles at the mention of her title “Princess” even though she specifically told Twilight to call her by her name after the Nightmare Night events, but she lets it slide.

“I see that you have come around.” Twilight once again starts looking around to make sure that what she is seeing isn’t just a figment of her imagination.

“Am… I dead… have I finally hit the ground?” Luna looks at Twilight with a sadden expression at the mention of death. If she had not saved Twilight at that time… it would of been too late.

“No Twilight… you are not dead… not at this time.” Twilight’s expression changing from one of confusion to being surprised at the news.

“How did I-” Twilight was stopped as Luna raising her hoof to silence Twilight for a moment.

“I was the one who saved you from your doom Twilight” Twilights eyes widen a bit from hearing this bit of information. “... when you were falling I caught you in the nick of time, thank goodness I did and brought you back to Ponyville so that I could heal you as well as take you away from Chrysalis.” Luna observes Twilight letting all this information sink in, until Twilights goes up to Luna with desperation in her eyes.

“Princess Luna, we have to go back and save my friends and Princess Celestia from Chrysalis or Discord before anything bad happens to them!”

“We cannot do that Twilight… we can’t save them at this moment.” Twilights ears fall back on her head as she looks down sad.

“But they could be in trouble and that now you are here, we can win and save our friends plus your sister.” Luna looks at Twilight with a gloomy look of doubt written all over her face.

“Twilight… we will not be strong enough to defeat Discord or Chrysalis in a battle.” Twilight looks up and Luna notices Twilight's eyes going misty.

“But you’re here now, we can hold our ground with them… we have to beat them and save the ones we lost or Equestria will be under their rule!” Luna already feeling her own eyes getting misty as Twilight is bursting to tears. “We could win if we get Princess Celestia, or my friends, or just catch one of them by themselves, or-” Twilight is cut off as Luna wraps a wing around her.

“I think that would not be possible with just the two of us, please understand that-” Twilight removes the wing wrapped around her as she feels a bit of anger fill her as well as more tears.

“Not unless we try, if we don’t.... if we don’t… they will…” Twilights lower lip starts to quiver as she sits down and starts to sob.

Luna herself is brought to tears as she sits on her haunches and puts a wing around Twilight. She sees the once happy successful mare now in tears for losing a fight in which she could not win. “What could I have done differently to avoid this conclusion?” Luna ponders as she coos Twilight down in comfort.

“ How.... how will we be able to save.... them now…?” Twilight questions as she continues to sob.

“I may know of a way to get them back.” Luna states. Twilight looks at her with tears in her eyes as this new bits of information is brought to light.

“I have been ask by my sister to go search for a hidden tapestry of a prophecy that was written by magic which still functions to this very day and it foretells a legacy that will happen in important times.” Luna sees Twilight not in tears, but still is sniffing, as she is taking all this information in. Now that she knows that Twilight is following, she continues. “I went to the direction of its location and found the tapestry and saw a prophecy marked for the three days after there will be a certain ponies destiny that will be changed.”

“It mentioned your name Twilight.” Upon hearing her name, her eyes go wide at the realization and utter curiosity as to what this prophecy mentioned. “It read. In three days, Twilights day will go from good to worse as she will be brought down by a certain evil. She will be defeated at that time and lose those close to her. When Twilight is defeated, she will need to search for hidden objects that realm deep in Equestria that will only react when she gets close to it. Also she will be accompanied by five others who she needs to find in order to acquire those objects. Once she finds these key items then will she be able to defeat the certain evil that bested her. If she fails then all is lost.” Once Luna had finished recalling what was on the prophecy, Twilight's eyes are wide as all this info is too much to take in all at once.

“There was a prophecy about me and how it foretold that I would lose!” Twilight is shocked to hear that this prophecy foretold what would happen three days prior before anything happened. Luna observes Twilight waiting for something to be said from her.

“I can understand how all this is giving conflicted feelings of how it is being read, but I do know this… Twilight you must find those hidden objects that are hidden deep in Equestria.”

Twilight starts to try and find an answer to all this, but it only makes her more confused. “Also, what are those hidden objects,” Twilight pondered.

“Princess Luna… did the prophecy mentioned the hidden objects locations?” Luna tries to recall if prophecy mentioned anything else, but nothing ever came up. Lunas mind clicks as she did recalled one thing mentioned.

“All I know was that it did mention; Only time will tell, once the search for the objects commence.” Now Twilight is more confused then normal.

“Only time will tell… when will that happen?” Luna starts to feel that day is coming soon, which leaves little less time to speak before she has to part ways and try to go back to the area that the prophecy was at.

“Maybe something changed that I need to look again.”

“Twilight, I must go and find that tapestry to see if anything has changed… I do not wish to leave you alone in what dangers that will come to you, but I know that you will be able to take care of yourself just fine.” Twilight looks at Luna with sadden eyes, but feels determined on finding these few hidden things if she will be able to use them to defeat Chrysalis and Discord.

“I understand Princess… one more thing that I need to know.” Luna looks at Twilights direction before coming back to reality and leaving.

“And what would that be?”

“Will you still be able to come back so that you could help me out if I am in need of assistance?” Luna ponders what to say to Twilights question.

“Do not worry Twilight… I will be watching over you to see your progress.” Once that is said, Luna lifts herself up with her wings and starts to fly back as she starts to disappear into the clouds.

Silence lingers in the sole white room now with the only occupant Twilight. Twilight lingers around and is in deep thinking at what has occurred. A prophecy that foretold her own future would befall on her. She could not believe it but it did just happen a few hours ago. As also how Luna says, her whole world started to disappear as she started to wake up from her deep slumber.

Sunlight starts to peek through the horizon as the residents of Ponyville wakes up to something that they will not expect. The sun is out yes, but it is different from Princess Celestias sun. As the original stage which occurred before that was once the dirt road, now is a checkerboard ground and as well as some floating houses. In the distance, you can see the once beautiful Castle now transformed into a habitat for the changelings. It look like a dungeon castle on the outside with dark green walls, green doors, and with what looks like green larves hanged outside with ponies inside for show.

Twilight wakes up after the dream had ended and gets up quickly since with what she heard was true, then its best that she gets started. Twilight went to fix herself up and checked the mirror to see if the cut was still there. It seems that the wound she received is gone. She thinks back to Luna being in her dream and she smiles gladly that Luna had healed her.

Remembering for what’s to come next, she went ahead and looked through her study for specific books which includes the one book: “The Elements of Harmony.” She keeps on looking, but she suddenly spots something off on her desk.

What looked like a single regular flashcard laying on it. Trotting up to her desk, she can clearly see what looks like a sigma of some sorts. A shape of a regular old spade, the ones that you see on playing cards. Looking the card over, the back and the front. The card only contains a spade, “This is strange… what could this mean?” She scrunches her muzzle as she tries to think of the meaning.

Before she could think any deeper, her ears flicker as she hears certain shuffling behind her. She quickly turns around, horn at the ready to attack anything that is out to get her. She looks upon a baby dragon with purple-greenish scaly skin rubbing his eyes awake with his claw. It clicks in her mind that she had forgotten about her number one assistant Spike being there. Well she couldn’t blame herself after all thats happened to her until now.

“Morning Twi-” Spike is cut off by seeing Twilight with her horn lit up as if she were doing a spell and he jumps back in fear.

“Don’t shoot me Twilight, I didn’t mean to sleep in late and eat all the jewels from the jewel chest while you were gone!” Spike covers his face with his claws in expectation of a spell being cast upon him.

Twilight disables the spell she was about to use and quickly started to reassure Spike. “Oh! Sorry about that Spike, I was just tense thats all.” Spike lets out a breath of air in relief that he didn’t know he was holding,

“Good thing it wasn’t about what I said.” She looks at him with an apologetic look, but quickly turns into a questioning look.

“Wait a minute, you did What now with the jewels?” Spike quickly changes the subject by averting his eyes and looking at the certain index card on the table.

“What's that card doing there?” Upon Spikes relief, Twilight looks over at the card and looks back at Spike.

“Did you put that there while I was gone Spike?” Twilight levites the card to show Spike what she means. With the card in front of Spike, he does a little look over to try to remember if he had done such a thing. Twilight sees Spike trying to remember, but he shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head from left to right.

“I don’t think so Twilight, I would remember if I had done that and besides. Why would I put one thing on that, I would write down lots of things on that if I ever needed it.” Spike explained Twilight.

“Then what is this card doing here in the first place?” Twilight thinks a little bit more on it, but decides it must mean nothing then.

“Hey Twilight, since your back does that mean you girls are done with what you needed to do?” Questioned the dragon. Twilight quickly from her normal self to utter sadness as to what she is remembering on what happen to her friends.

“Spike...take a seat, this will take a while to explain.” Doing what Twilight said, he goes to the closest place to sit down which happens to be the bed.

Twilight starts to contemplate on how she should bring the news to him. She didn’t want to bring it straight to the point, but she has to. Taking a deep breath, *Twilight starts explaining Spike from the beginning to the end to the time she was saved by Luna.*

“So… they’re gone… we won’t be able to get to see them again.” Spikes expression darkens so, as he tightens his little fist in anger and sadness of not only losing Rarity, but losing all of his close friends to those evil beings.

“Twilight… what do we do now?!”Spike comments with a sadden look. Twilight looks at Spike, but starts to feel magic being active near her. Immediately turning around at the ready, in case whoever is activating magic is nearby. Horn lite she glances from side to side, to find the perpetrator. Instead she only sees the same flash card on the floor, but there's something different about it. It has the same symbol of the spade on its back side and it looks normal if one were not to look closely.

It looks like its glowing on its front side of a light green hue. Twilight doesn't want to risk hold on to the card since it could be a trap, she immediately lifts the card and flips it on its front side in a split second. Twilight shields her eyes from being blinded by the glowing on the card. What is happening to it? I hope this isn’t a trap to imprison me. The light shimmers a little and in a quick interval it dies down until there is no light.

Twilight brings her hoof down and blinks a couple of times to get used to the dark room of hers. “Twilight! What happen? Did it do anything to you?! I don’t want to lose you too.” Spike says, coming out of hiding and sprinting to Twilight.

“I’m fine spike and thank you for worrying about me Spike.” Twilight brings out her genuine smile in a long time. Thank goodness nothing happened to. Just, what was that about? Twilight looks at the card and her eyes widens when she sees something written on it that wasn’t there before. The first clue is in….Manehatten! What does it mean by first clue? Twilight immediately connects the dots with the sigma and Manehatten.

Does this mean that the symbol is actually located in Manehatten… only one way to find out. Twilight lifts the card and puts it on her study.

“Twilight, what happen?” Spike glances between the card to Twilight.

“Spike! Pack our bags. We are going to Manehatten!” Twilight says this with her same old spunk of energy.
