Papillon.

For weeks after that, Aurora could tell something weren't right. The sky would darken earlier; lighten later. It was supernatural; suspicious. She laid on a grassy hill, watching the sun. It was mid after-noon, but the soon was setting; dusk setting over to a east coast. She sighed; her pendent shimmering. She spotted it, and thought back to her lessons with Lady Butterfly.

'Maybe mother was right...' she thought.

She gripped hold of the pendent, and brought up a holograph like her mother had taught her. She muttered 'earlier night, later morning'. It came up with some results, but the one which shocked Aurora was magic; alicorn magic. But that couldn't be possible; nothing could control the sun and moon.

She had to tell her mother; the only known alicorn in the land. She got up from her spot in a grass and turn-tail for home. The castle shined under the misty light of dusk; but Aurora was focused on finding her mother. But only dread and shock would await her; tragedy.

There in a middle of the room, Lady Butterfly's kind and soft appearance had changed into something dark and dreadful and it filled Aurora with shock; it couldn't be?! The mare turned around and snarled.

''To think you found out this quick. Your smarter then you look, princess~''

Aurora took a step back; her mother's kind and caring voice had change into a menacing crackle and she didn't like it. But she didn't have time to get her sister for what looked like blood red hair wrapped itself around her body. The hair had come from Lady Butterfly, herself.

''M-Mother.'' she breathed out, as some of her hair wrapped around her neck.

''I am no longer Lady Butterfly; but the new and improved Queen Butterfly!'' crackled the mare, tighten her grip around the young filly.

''Stop it!'' screamed Aurora, only to have her mouth concealed with the hair.

''Did I tell you that you could speak?''

Sweet Music and Weather; who had heard their sister's cry ran/flow up the stairs and into the room. They saw their sister in coils of hair, with her mouth concealed meaning she was having trouble breathing; but not just that, their mother had changed into something dreadful and it filled both of the foals in shock and sadness.

''Weather!'' yelled Sweet. The earth pony gripped hold of her pendent; alerting Queen Butterfly's attention.

''That's right, I should remove them.'' approaching the foals.

'Sweet! Weather!' screamed Aurora, internally.

The unicorn's pendent shined, unexpectedly even to the filly herself. The warm and fuzzy light wrapped around the filly, and with a thrust of motion; she freed herself. Th light wrapped around her back; two wings forming though they were transparent, yet warm. The light also swirled around her sisters; boosting their powers and giving them a horn in Weather's case, and both wings and a horn in Sweet's case. Who knew the book pendent could do that? But that wasn't what mattered; what mattered was their mother turning back to normal. Sweet changed her pendent into a microphone; and sung into it. Shockwaves formed around her in circles. When they were shot; it didn't hurt neither Weather or Aurora.

Weather helped Aurora up; whilst Sweet kept their mother busy. Weather frowned, and hugged her sister. ''You alright?''

''I-I...am now. Thanks, Weather.''

''Any time, big sis.''

''...How do we change mother back?'' she asked.

''Hmm...I don't know...I really don't. But I overheard from mother once that there was a sealing spell.''

Aurora frowned and looked down. ''I know....but is it really our only option?''

''From what I can gather, come on. Let's get little sis and seal mother away..''

Aurora simply nodded, keeping her sad expression but she like Weather, ran over to their younger sister, who was holding their mother back. Sweet partly glared at them, and yelled. ''About time! Are we gonna do that sealing spell?''

''Yea...girls!''

The three young teens raised their pendents into the air, and formed a triangle around their mother. The pendents connected to each other via a white light. A tear dropped from each of the mares and the sealing spell began happening. Their mother was soon in-cased in ice before fading into a depths of the Equestrian oceans.

But that was a scafice. The sealing spell was dangerous and shouldn't be used. All the mares died that night, with the pendents faded into the night.

''...And I believe they somehow ended up in the castle of the two pony sisters, waiting till somepony found them and thus they created us.'' mumbled Bookworm.

''Wow, that's strong....'' stated Rainy.

''Oui.'' said Harmony.

''I, for once, have to agree with you, Harm.'' said Mel.

Bookie nodded to their reponeses. ''But...the problem is on we're the only ponies, who can even stop Queen Butterfly when she returns. But the only true spell that we know work on her, is the sealing spell and that's very risky.''

''About that, Bookie. When is she gonna return?'' asked Dizzy.

''I don't know, girls. The book pendent may have secret powers, but it doesn't predict the future........''

''We shouldn't worry about it, Bookie. We have a play to put on, next week. That's what we should be worried about.'' said Freshy, with a smile.

''Freshy....'' mumbled Bookie.
