W.i.t.c.h.

Fifteen minutes and a short walk; the group, mysterious stallion, and I arrived at my house. I was practically scared to death when my mom opened the door. I was sure that her work went till five. That is when I layed eyes on the sitting room clock...which said 5:10 pm. I had never realized that the fight scene had taken so long. My mom looked at my friends, then to the stallion with us. Then her eyes fell upon his pendant that was still hung around my neck. She ushered all of us in and quickly shut the door. Then with her magic, she moved us to the dining room table. "Mom, what is going on?" I asked her as she studied the stallions pendant. Then Mr.Strange spoke up. "Mrs. Cresent Moon, may I please have the Amulet of Crestlin back please?"

I looked from him to my mom and then back to him. How do you know my mom...I thought, then I heard mom reply. "Why? What were doing with it in the first place...not to mention, how do you know my name?"

"Please let me explain. First, I was actually trying to find you to give you that so that awnsers one thing. As for how I know who you are, you and your four friends are legends in Gleamly; everypony has heard of your heroic efforts for this world. Oh, and my name is Comet Fist; Leader of the Rebellion against Prince Demon Sky." I looked shocked at Comet Fist and then at my mom. I was still trying to grasp all that he said. "you and your four friends are legends"~~"Gleamly"~~"everypony has heard"~~"heroic efforts" It was all to much for my brain to handle.

"What does he mean mom?" I ask her.

She sat down right in the chair between me and Hollow Wind to explain. "Mares, our world is one of two, the second not known to most here. Only a few carefully selected mares of each generation gets to know the secrets of the mythical world of Gleamly. I-"

"Ooh! I know this story from a old ponie's tale, Gleamly is supposedly a mythical and whymsical world where the flora and fauna flourish and the palace is made out of pure gems. The villagers never go hungry and the Royal Family is the nicest" Indigo interrupted. Mom shot her a look of annoyance. Indie than shut up.

"As I was saying, I was one of the selected few to be deemed the title of 'Guardian of the Vail' and know those secrets." Mom continued.

Then Comet spoke up. "Now your friend has most of it right but the Royal family is not nice at all. At least, the Prince isn't. He took over the land and turned it dark. The flora stopped growing and the fauna ran and hid. It is a total wasteland, the rest of the royal family is no where to be seen, and the true heir hasn't been seen since her birth...she hadn't even been named before somepony took her away." Mom grew silent. "Now, your mom's job as a guardian ended long ago but her job was to close the portals that appeared here to stop the monsters or evil beings from crossing the boarder from my world to yours. As for my job, well, I took the title after my father died last year at the hands of the prince. I design plans to get us into the palace to find info and to try and take down the prince. We know that the only ones who are able to fully stop him are the guardians and his sister, the princess...but she is nowhere to be seen. Demon Sky is looking though, and soon, he might start looking for her here, on this world. All the ponies are starving because of the prince and they are really hoping that the true heir will return soon." I sat utterly still trying to process that while my BPFFs were all chatting instantly. I hadn't noticed that my mom had disappeared during the talk about the missing princess.

Coming back several minutes, mom saw me talking to Comet. I was asking him questions that he hadn't answered in his earlier speech like "How old are you?" and "What does the Amulet of Crestlin do anyway?" He was happy to answer. He said that he was 15 and the Amulet of Crestlin was a mysterious stone found in a cave far from the palace over 200 years ago and it held the powers of the elements; Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. When worn by the correct wielder, it would transform her and four of her friends that resembled the elements into their guardian form. He even said that if I wanted, he would help me and any of my friends that did happen to acquire this power to control it and make it stronger. Then, in the back of my mind, a spark of realization went off and I looked at my four friends. I tried to recite the words that my mom had told me to activate the amulet. "GUARDIANS UNITE!" I yelled and my friends looked at me for a split second before we all became different colored balls of light. When we touched back down on the ground of my dining room, we had transformed into our guardian form. Every other pony was giggling and gawking over the design of their wings. They all were excited to try out their new powers. Then, Comet Fist, the mares, and I flew to our first practice session with Comet. I am starting to like having bumped into him.

Meanwhile, in Gleamly, the evil Prince Demon Sky was planning to do two things; #1 find his sister and #2 find and take down the rebel leader and his group of followers. Pacing around in his room, Demon called two of his guards to him. The gruesome looking pony-troll hybrids came as fast as they could. "You called our prince" trolny number 1 asked as both bowed.

The prince turned towards them suddenly. "I think searching for my lost sister here is pointless. We have searched every nook and cranny of this kingdom yet no sister. I think we have to look somewhere else."

"Uhhhh...but where your highness? This world consists of this kingdom and you certainly don't mean-"

"Yes guards, I mean Morlanta--the lost world. Luckily, I have found a way through by using the portals and this time, the guardians or rebels won't know what hit them. My sister's powers WILL be mine! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Haha nice one our prince" Trolny number 2 said.

The prince used a burst of wind to stop them from laughing. He looked at them seriously. "I WASN'T JOKING! NOW GO FIND A PORTAL AND FIND MY SISTER! I WILL HAVE HER POWERS IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DO!!!"
