Prophecies of a Dragon

Twilight was walking through Canterlot to get to the library to try and find some information about the riddle that Spike had said to the girls back at Ponyville. She was also waiting for a letter from her friends and her beloved, but she was continually let down, and she began to worry that something had happened to them.

She wished she could leave her duties for a day just to spend time with them and to make sure that they were okay and well. But Twilight knew from Celestia's teachings that the ponies came first, and friends came last which was exceedingly difficult for the Princess of Friendship. Twilight was over going to the court's day in and day out, she couldn't understand how Celestia managed without going insane from boredom.

She eventually made it to the Royal Library and began her research to find the answer to the riddle that Spike prophecied. Twilight felt good about doing some research for a change instead of going through mountains of paperwork from dignitaries requesting things that could be done or would not be done. She started to understand the reason Cadance avoided politics at great lengths before becoming the princess of the crystal empire.

Twilight was rummaging through book after book, very little was known about dragons and their ancestors. The first account's of dragon prophets were noted approximately twenty thousand years ago, they were older than the pony civilization itself, the history of dragons were fifty percent accurate and fifty percent myth.

The history books were often false but thought to be true by default. Dragons were ancient and often spiked the imagination of ponies.With questions about how they lived, how they courted one another, how they solved disputes between each other, and how they had significant links between all the ponies of Equestria. The amount of knowledge that was unknown is what fascinated Twilight the most.

Twilight found a book in the Library titled, Dragon Prophecies of the Past Twilight began to read;

How little we know about Dragons. Dragons thought to be myths until the dragons sought out the pony civilization, to help them in their dire time of need; the great Dragon giant war. Thought to be roughly fifteen thousand years ago, before the pony nation migrated here from an unknown origin of a province.

The great dragon war went on for two thousand years, many pony and dragon-kin were slaughtered by the Giants, Who collected the heads of dragons and ponies alike as, war trophies. Not many know how the war was solved, but an alliance was permanently forged with the dragons and ponies, of the newly named country Equestria from the old name ionia. There is an agreement to this day. The dragons help the ponies when in need but will not reveal many of the secrets of the old ways to their allies on how life was for them.

There have been accounts of prophesies being told to ponies of high destiny from the legendary Dragon prophets of old, they would tell the ponies of events about to happen to them that would be detrimental. Sometimes to princess to provide a peaceful alternative to war or disputes, before they broke out to destruction sometimes to comfort the loss or a missing loved ones.

On rare occasions they would also tell ponies of another evolution; to become alicorn's and show a form of royalty and immortality the most famous prophecy was given to a unicorn named Starswirl the bearded. The prophecy was written to him in a letter from a good friend that shared some secrets of the dragon origin with him. Starswirl neglected to tell anyone due to swearing fealty to the dragon emperor, Dragoir Blackflame.

"in lies the place of power that time bows to; as it swirls and turns the abyss of ancient magic's dragons secrets revealed. The power of an emperor that is the dragon of time; Zyliens scythe empowered gives the forbidden magic."

When translated it means the forbidden magic of time travel that Starswirl mastered. This is the only recorded account of the emperor foretelling an event. There was one other, famous prophecy recorded from an unknown dragon stating.

"Dragon's destiny unknown, forgotten dream to become, the alicorn Princess of the sun intertwined began seven friends to receive the beginning of an end the start of a new world immortality shines brightly as friends. The power of friendship is spun."

Twilight dropped the book as the prophecy clicked then she thought to herself. The prophecy, it was talking about me, Celestia and my friends, that many years ago; wow what a magnificent find I must tell my beloved and my friends.

Twilight began to write to her friends

Dear Friends;

I have found out through my research of the riddle that we were foretold about over two thousand years ago. To the point where it even predicted that Celestia transformed me into the Princess of Friendship. As for the current riddle, I think it has to do with you going back in time and being transformed to alicorns, but I am not entirely sure about that detail, but its worth a thought.

Now to my beloved Dashy;

Please, can you write to me I am super worried about you, I'm afraid that you might have been hurt following Spike's prophecy. I want you to come home to me my love I couldn't live without my moon, please be safe I love you Dashy.

Yours sincerely and loyal love;

Twilight

Twilight awoke next morning after sending her letter to her friends, ready for another boring day of politics she was finally used to the tediousness of politic's. Celestia would joke about certain dignitaries and politicians in an effort to keep herself, Twilight and Luna entertained during the days events.

As they were in the court room, Suddenly Twilights element of harmony state activated and frightened the politician she was conversing with. The politician ran out of the courtroom in fear

"Whats happening Twilight!?" Celestia said surprised at the phenomenon that occurred

"I don't know, Princess Celestia?" Twilight replied just as surprised as Celestia

"My friends, they must be in danger!" Twilight gave a panicked look

"I do not sense anything," stated Luna

"Everything seems to be in balance,"

"Then why did my element activate?"

"I do not know my faithful student? I have not seen this type of occurrence before in all my years of managing the elements of harmony."

"Nor I," Luna agreed.

Celestia flew across the room,

"Court has finished for today, an unexpected event has happened," Celestia told the herald.

"This requires further research" stated Luna with a puzzled look on her face

"I'll get right onto it Luna" Twilight commented

"We will all have to do some research on this strange phenomenon" Announced Celestia

Celestia, Twilight and Luna all went to the Royal Library to try to find out what this was all about after many hours past and  the Library was a mess. They still had found nothing about why this happened the only theory Celestia came to was that Twilights friends activated their elements, and it thus activated Twilights.
