The Return of Darchadas

Quickly regaining his composure Darchadas smiled at turned to the mare at the door and asked "Are you expecting anypony?". The mare nodded and gestured behind himself, "It would seem they will be hear soon,". With that he quickly started heading towards the forest, but not before giving her saying, "Give the alicorns this message, when the moon is full in three days time the gate will open and his children will gather where it all began,". Before she could answer the man had walked into the forest and vanished in the shadows.

Twilight having seen the man galloped to where he entered the forest, but couldn't find any trace that he had gone through. Trotting back towards the cabin she could hear Fluttershy describing her encounter with the creature. "Then it asked me to give Twilight a message and walked into the forest," she heard Fluttershy say to the group. Twilight coming close to her friends

turns to Fluttershy. "What was the message?" she asked. Fluttershy repeats what the creature said to her. Twilight ponders the message, "A gate with children? May be its a symbol or a reference,I will have to ask the princesses they might know more. Deciding that they had found the disturbance that Celestia warned about they trotted back to Ponyville. All along the way Twilight kept running what Fluttershy had said through her mind.

As they entered Ponyville each said their goodbyes and went about a separate task. Rarity, her white furred, purple mane and tail, went back to her boutique to began making outfits for the trip to Canterlot. Applejack, the orange mare with the hat, headed back to her farm, Appleacres. Rainbow Dash, the blue pony with the predictable rainbow mane and tail simply flew towards a cloud and went to sleep. The pink pony, Pinkie Pie, simply disappeared? Twilight just shrugged and murmured, "that's Pinkie for you". Fluttershy the yellow pony went off to buy food for her animals leaving Twilight to go tothe library. Before doing anything else she went to her desk. Her horn began to glow as books covered in purple aura moved from the shelves to a growing stack in front of her. Twilight couldn't get the creature off her mind and so began to read every book on mythical creatures, and legends from the past.

Two days later

In the Ponyville library a disheveled looking Twilight slammed the book closed, " Ah there isn't anything in these that resemble it!". A knock was heard from the other side of the room. Twilight quickly trotted to the door, opening it to find her friends on the other side.

"Yall right sugarcube," Applejack asked after seeing her friend in her current state. "We just worried bout ya, haven't seen you in two days no," She said concern evident in her voice

"Two days!" Twilight exlaimed remembering she was suppose to report her finding to Princess Celestia later. "Give me a minute to get my things," she said while rushing out of the room to brush her mane. She came back with a saddlebag and before anypony could say otherwise rushed to the train station with her friends.Arriving in Canterlot they quickly make their way to the castle. The guards seeing who approachesopen the gate and escort them to the throne room. "Announcing Princess Twilight Sparkle and the Element of harmony bearers," is heard from the other side of the door before they enter. Upon entering Twilight quickly rushed towards her mentor. "Hello my dear ponies," Celestia says after a hug from Twilight. Each of the bearers bow in front of the princess. "No need to bow," Celestia said as she made a motion to stand."I do believe i said we would be having dinner so let us adjourn to the dining hall".

Twilight noticed that everypony else was already in the hall as she entered. Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and her brother Shining Armor each said hello when they noticed her.
