Equestia is now exposed to all of Tyria and the elements of harmony must gather new allies.

In the year 15 AE, the princesses Luna and Celestia sealed Equestria away. Cutting all of pony kind off from the rest of Tyria. Now 1309 years later the space distorting barrier has been broken by the power of the Elder Dragons. The Changeling army, seeing a weakness, has returned to devour all of Equestria. And the Cult of Chaos has stolen Discord’s statue, intent on freeing their mad god and spreading their madness to all of Tyria. Now the elements of harmony must travel to long forgotten lands to gather allies to combat these evils.
Rated Teen for some gore, particularly when dealing with the Nightmare Court.
Didn't add the human tag, because even though there are humans, they aren't the main focus.
I don't own anything from My Little Pony or Guild Wars. They belong to Hasbro and ArenaNet respectively.
Special shout out to Anet for actualy encouraging this type of thing.
First ever fanfic, so please be kind. Though constructive critisisms are always welcome.

Prolog

A/N I don't own anything invloving MLP or GuildWars. I'm just a fan who wants to bring these two worlds together.

Prolog

Year 15 AE: “Sister we cannot stay connected with the rest of Tyria.” Celestia says to her beloved sister Luna.

“We couldn’t agree more, dear Sister, the humans constant wars will eventually destroy our little ponies. But we cannot just leave like Dwayna and the others and abandon our subjects.” Replied Luna; the dark alicorn looking worried.

Celestia, seeing this, quickly continued. “Fear not Luna, I have developed a spell to remedy the situation, though it will require both of us to cast.”

“And pray tell, what is it that this spell of yours is supposed to do? And it had best not be like that pudding spell of yours.” Luna replied; clearly intrigued by what her sister said.

A small smile appeared on Celestia’s face as she answered. “Nothing like that I’m afraid. It is a form of spatial distortion. Equestria will still exist upon this world, but it will be disjointed. The spell will alter the space around our kingdom rendering it unseen and unreachable by those on the exterior, and prevent those within from leaving.”

Year 313 AE: “Celestia!” Luna shouted as she stormed into their privet dining hall. “Why doth thou coddle the populous!”

Celestia looked up from her evening meal and simply asked “What doth thou speak of, dearest sister?”

Enraged by her sister’s apparently carefree attitude Luna practically screamed in a voice that could be heard throughout the entire castle. “Thou knowest what Thou hast been doing! Thou hast been disbanding all of our military camps! We must ensure that our armies are strong enough to protect our lands when the barrier doth break! Or doth thou plan on hiding forever?”

With a sigh the white alicorn tried her best to calm her increasingly agitated sister. “Sister, thou must understand that warfare wilt only bring harm and misery upon our subjects. There is more to strength then just power. Harmony will empower our little ponies far more then military might.” Celestia explained.

Luna merely glared at Celestia before turning and exiting the room. Muttering under her breath “We shall see, sister dearest, we shall see.”

Year 314 AE: standing upon the field that would eventually become Ponyville where two armies, one light the other dark. The dark army was massive, containing ponies, diamond dogs, griffons, and other less savory creatures: at its front stood Nightmare Moon in all of her dark glory. The light army, by comparison, was tiny. Barely two hundred ponies strong: at its front stood Princess Celestia. “Luna!” Celestia called out “Please, let us end this madness before more lives are lost!”

Nightmare laughed cruelly “And why should I Celestia. Once my army has crushed you I will take my rightful place as queen of Equestria! Then I will forge this land into a mighty weapon that will change the face of Tyria forever!”

Year 1314 AE: “Sister, please forgive me of my foolishness.” Begged a despondent Luna: as she stared at her hooves. “I now see what you were talking about all those centuries ago. About how there is more to strength then just power.”

“You are my beloved sister.” Celestia said soothingly “Of course I forgive you. And now we can rule together as it was always meant to.”

“Sister?!” All of the elements of harmony exclaimed.

Year 1324 AE: “Celestia!” Luna exclaimed: panic evident in her wide eyes. “Did you just feel that? The barrier…”

“Yes Luna,” Celestia interrupted “it is as we both feared. The corrosive power of the Elder Dragons has broken through. Equestria is now exposed.”

“Then we must prepare immediately. We have many enemies who would take advantage of this.”

A/N Alright Prolog finished for my first ever fanfiction.

Capter 1: Preparation

Chapter 1: Preparations

Twilight Sparkle sat in the middle of her library reading three books at once; when Spike called out to the lavender unicorn from the kitchen. “Hey Twilight, I got lunch ready for you!”

Twilight looked up, her stomach growling like an angry cat. “Thanks Spike!” She replied “I must have forgotten to about breakfast again. It’s just that these books on Star Swirl the Bearded are so fascinating, almost impossible to put down.” As she rushed to get to the kitchen for some much needed food.

As she entered the kitchen, Twilight saw the baby dragon walking to the table with a plate of daisy sandwiches in one hand and a bowl filled with various gems in the other. “Yeah, I bet they are.” Said Spike: as he rolled his eyes. “That’s why I thought that I would remind you that it’s lunch time.” As he set each of the plates in their respective places.

About midway through their meal Spike belched up a plume of green flame that faded to reveal a scroll with Princess Celestia’s seal on it. “A letter from the Princess? I wonder what she’s writing to me about?” asked Twilight as she grabbed the scroll with her magic.

“Maybe she wants you and the other elements to find out what happened to Discords statue. It just disappeared last week.” Spike supplied as Twilight opened the scroll with her magic.

“To my faithful student Twilight Sparkle.” She started to read aloud. “Princess Luna and I would like to speak to you and the other elements of harmony about an urgent matter as soon as possible. We have sent a chariot that should be reaching Ponyvill in about an hour. Please gather your friends and be ready by then. Princess Celestia.” As she finished the letter, Twilight started running out the door to locate her five closest friends a quickly as possible.

A hour later Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie where gathered outside of Twilight’s library/home talking amongst themselves. “Honestly Twilight, why would the Princesses banish us to the moon?” Rarity said just as the chariot was landing.

“I don’t know.” Responded Twilight “Maybe we failed them somehow.” Her paranoia filled sense of inadequacy was starting to infect the others.

“’Scuse me, but do either of ya know what’s goin’ on here?” Applejack asked the two royal Pegasus guards pulling the chariot.

They simply looked at her and responded in unison. “War.”

Once at the palace they were quickly taken to the princesses’ privet dining hall. At the head sat both Celestia and Luna, each looking like they hadn’t slept in days. Their manes were limb and no longer ethereal, and their eyes had clear bags under them. On the table rested an ancient looking map. The most unusual thing was that it did not depict Equestria, but upon closer inspection Twilight saw what looked like the borders of her homeland near the western edge of the map. “Thank you all for coming on such short notice, but time is short and we don’t have time for any formalities. Please take your seats.” Began Celestia.

“What you see before you is the last map in Equestria of Tyria. It was made before we decided to sever all contact with the rest of the world.” Luna continued.

The six elements gaped in awe. Twilight was amazed; here was concrete proof of what was only hinted at in only the oldest of texts. “The barrier that my sister and I erected has finally been destroyed after more than a millennium.” Celestia continued. “We have called you six here because we need you six to travel to the human empire of Orr and any other nations that may have appeared during our absence from the world. It may even be possible that Orr itself has been destroyed.”

“Come now sister, Canterlot has stood for far longer than that upstart nation. Why would it no longer stand?” Queried Luna.

“You are more than likely right Luna, but you must remember how volatile the humans are. We have already arranged for all of your duties here in Equestria, your duties as the Elements of Harmony come first in this case.”

“Wait just a second.” Exclaimed Rainbow Dash. “You expect us to just abandon everything here to go running across the entire world when all of the guards are talking about some war that’s just starting?”

“We expect you to do this because of the war with the changelings and the resurgence of the Cult of Chaos.” Replied Luna. “We have been running ourselves ragged for the past week to keep everything under control. You must leave immediately or risk all of Equestria to the Mists.”

“But what of mah farm and mah family?” persisted Applejack “Ah don’ what ta just up an leave them.”

With this the flood gates of objections where opened as everypony started talking at once. The commotion was so aggravating that both Celestia and Luna shouted “SILENCE!” in the royal voice. Stunned, all eyes fell upon the two princesses.

“I’m sorry for that outburst everypony.” Celestia said “But you must understand the severity of the situation. Nothing will be safe in Equestria if we don’t receive outside aid, and you six are the only ponies that will be able to reach the hearts of the other races of Tyria. We have both done as much as we can to aid you with this task.” She didn’t look like the eternal goddess of the sun in that moment. Instead Celestia looked almost like a small, scared filly.

“We have made copies of this map for you to use. It should keep you from getting lost on the way.” Luna picked up were her sister left off. “And after much contemplation, we have decided to connect pony-kind to the bloodstones. Hopefully these boons will be enough to see you through.”

“Princess, what are the bloodstones?” asked Twilight “There are a few mentions of them in legend, but nothing say’s what they do.”

After regaining her composure Celestia answered. “Inquisitive as always Twilight; that trait will help you greatly in the coming weeks. The bloodstones where made by 5 of our closest friends to give the mortal races access to magic, Luna and I kept most of the power from reaching our little ponies after we saw what the lust for power did to the humans. They will grant the ability to use magic to all ponies, not just unicorns. It will be up to you and Rarity to teach the rest of your friends how to use it.”

“You mean we can use magic just like Twilight! This is so awesome!” exclaimed Dash.

“Ah’ll just stick to mah own hooves, thank you.” responded Applejack.

Pinkie Pie just shrugged: she could already ignore the laws of physics at will. “I guess I might be able to better help animals. Um, if that’s okay, I mean.” Fluttershy said in her timid manner.

“Good.” spoke Luna “You must return to Ponyville and be ready to leave by first light. You must not bring anypony else with you.”

“Wait! Not even Spike?” exclaimed Twilight.

“Yes Twilight.” Responded Luna “The outside world will not take his presence kindly; not many would accept the presence of a dragon.”

With that the princesses turned to leave while the guards escorted the six mares back to the waiting chariot to return to Ponyville.

A/N Ok, just did an update to the chapter to get it to the point that I wanted. See you next chapter, The Forgotten Lands.
