Chpt 1. Time Awaits

PonyVille ClockWork Era

Pacing through PonyVille, a purple lilac unicorn was going on with her regular routine with her purple drake sitting in one of her saddle bags. She wore a light brown leather tunic which lead to the torso and a small mechanism attached to the sides, giving the effect of having wings. Hidden in her tunic was a gold painted amulet from her grand mother who sadly passed away. Trotting along a pathway that has bits of bronze covering patches of dug up dirt by a few little fillies, she made it towards her tree which had copper like cogs coming out of some of some holes that have been burrowed through. The tree also had a giant in-built clock on the front which indicated the time in Equestria, which is being watched by a curtain brown earth pony named Time Turner or as he likes to call himself and to some other ponies the Doctor.

The lilac unicorn steps inside of the half clock like tree and sets down her bag on a kitchen top counter with the same material as the cogs. Inside her the burrowed out tree were books. Books of every kind ranging from the dawn of Equestria to some advanced spells from Star Swirl and Clover the Clever themselves. Just a while later, the purple unicorn receives a catchy knock on her door.

"Helloooo," Somepony spoke in a lady-like voice "Twinlight, honey. Could you be a dear and open this ~~hideous~~ door. Please?"
Twinlight soon started to make her way to the door until a baby drake stole the chance before she could.

"Come in! Come in, Ether. Please make yourself at home. Hope it's to your liking." Walking inside the tree, a very bright white pony quickly sat on the nearest chair.

This pony named Ether is a unicorn like Twinlight. She wears a large gown that starts from her hip all the way down to her hooves, speaking of hooves, she also wore a silky and fluffy dress covering up her torso all the way to her ankles. Attached to the rest of her fore legs and her entire hind legs were leather wrist like material with lacing to give effect of wearing boots. If you want to go into to detail, she has little golden beads trailing down her leather 'boots'.

"Ummm, excuse me Ether but could you possibly tell me why you came to visit me?" Twinlight started to question "I mean, not to sound rude, but you barely visit me a lot of the time since your either spending your time admiring great Rarity's creations or replicating her design."

Ether didn't seem to notice the last two things Twinlight mentioned so she quickly went back onto her subject. "Spikey Wikey, could you possibly make us some tea. I'm feeling kinda famished from all that walking I did to get here." Spike Jr soon made his way towards the kitchenware.

"Anything for you Ether. Iced or mildly warm?"

Ether quickly told him which tea she wanted and off went the drake. "So Twinlight, I came here to tell you something that needed our up most important attention." Confusing Twinlight, she decided to delve into what Ether had so eagerly in mind.

"What's the subject about? It couldn't be something that came from Princess Lulamoon or Princess Cadenzia, Right?" Guessing right as usual, Ether decided to inform the situation in detail.

"Right as usual deary, I guess being a descendant of Princess Twilight Sparkle really helped with that mind of yours." Twinlight didn't like the way she phrased her sentence and was going to say something but got cut of Spike Jr.

"Here you go, two Iced tea lattes. Just to you and Ether's likings." He said with a cheesy grin.

"Why thank you, I can always count on you. Cant I?" Right as soon as he was about to reply, he got the same result from earlier on with Twinlight.

"If it's okay with you Spike, could you possibly re-stack the history books while me and Ether discuss? Its really important." Submitting to Twinlight, he grumbled a bit then soon started making his way towards the books."

Right before they could re-indulge with their conversation, a bright light soon blinded the subjects inside the tree but quickly de-solved into two tall figures. "*gasp*, Princess Cadenzia and Princess Lulamoon!" Twinlight and Ether screamed in unison before quickly falling onto their hooves in front of the rulers.

Princess Cadenzia wore a similar gown like Ether but the colouring was a light dark shading of purple for the top part of the gown with Pinkie Pie pink for the bottom part. For her torso area, it was the same shade of purple but has leather like belts connecting her gown to her dress. Each belt connecting to a small gold ring on her gown, keeping it up with her dress. Towards the sides and chest area of her dress are red ribbons making a braid shape holding the dress altogether. She has little puffy sleeves ending on the half way point from her shoulder to her ankles. For her 'boots' she has a black Gothic like material with silver straps on the front, on the back it has the same ribbon braid but instead of purple it was shiny red with a bow at the end. Along with her clothes were her purple and pink top hat which had a little Kingdom heart crown around the cylinder hat and her half clock, half umbrella which floated because of a small cotton cotton cloud.

Princess Lulamoon wore some simple brown leather pants with a slim crescent moon with a star near the middle of the crescent moon. For her dress, she wore a brown unbuttoned jacket and atop of her jacket she wore a semi circle bracelet which was a night time shade of blue with her cutie mark on it. Unlike Cadenza, Princess Lulamoon has a mechanical copper outlining for her wings to give some visual effect and some longer flight durability.

"Rise my little ponies, there's no need for formality since you are the descendants of the Element wielders." Princess Cadenzia said with a mother smile upon her face. Soon after, they slowly risen back onto their hooves and greeted them with passion. Princess Lulamoon quickly informed Twinlight on the whole fiasco.

"Twinlight listen carefully, An old enemy named Screwball has escaped from the Canteria ruins and started to cause chaos in the Canteria caverns. You must find the Elements of Harmony and the other Bearers as fast as possible. This is utterly urgent."
