Locating the Amulet

[Trixie's POV]

I had just left Hawk's grave and went straight to the Everfree. It will probably take two days to get to Canterlot by walking on hoof. But while I was walking I didn't noticed how boring it was until now.

'Maybe It's because I was with Hawk at the time.'

It was true, after all I was in Hawk's grasp for most of the time while he was alive. I missed how he would always hold me in the warmth of his arms. The fuzzy feeling that came along with it would always calme down, but now those day's were over.

Now that he's gone I remember when ponies would always say that you never know how much you miss somepony until their actually gone. I could feel tears streaming through my face wishing that Hawk's presence was still with me.

I shook my head not wanting to think about it. Thinking about it would hold me back from my mission to get the amulet. But he is the only reason that I'm doing this in the first place because of his final request. I could probably take over Equestria if I take out thoses six first.

Those element bearers that everypony has been talking about would make them a huge threat if I wish to rule Equestria. But I promised myself that I will only get revenge on Twilight but If her friends stand in my way I would have to get rid of them.

It amazes me how nopony else came up with the idea to use the Alicorn Amulet to use it for their needs. But not alot of ponies read so that's out of the box. What suprises me the most is that the Amulet holds unspeakable powers to the bearer but it's not under the supervision of the princesses.

'Hehe stupid princesses.'

Well I guess that Luna is an exception seeing how she just got here but Celestia is really stupid. Just because she's royalty doesn't make her wise. Like not securing the amulet, sending Nightmare Moon to the moon! Seriously, couldn't she do something else to her rather than just send her to the moon.

Certainly the Great and Powerful Trixie would make a better leader than Celestia herself.' I stopped walking after I finished that thought.

'That was the old Trixie talking.'

I shook my head trying to forget what happened and continued walking to Canterlot. I started to get nervous by the look of the forest as it was getting darker and darker each minute.

I used a simple light spell since my energy still needs to recover. There standing in front of me was a grey coated filly with yellow eyes.

"Hey there, are you lost young filly?"

She just stood there looking at me with those creepy eyes then ran off. I couldn't just leave a filly wandering around the Everfree at this time so I followed her.

"Where are you going?" I asked trying to keep up with the filly. In response I only heard giggling echoing through the forest.

'What is this filly doing in the Everfree Forest?'

I decided to run after her seeing how I can't catch up to her. I noticed bright lights shining in the Everfree. It was brighter than a fire. Chills went through my spine wondering why there were bright lights here.

I noticed that the filly that I was chasing left my sight. She just vanished into thin air lime it was nothing. Maybe she was just a hallucination in my mind due to the lack of sleep.

'Perhaps I can find a cave that doesn't have an Ursa Minor in it.'

But those lights shining at the distance were a distraction. 'I guess taking a quick look wouldn't hurt anypony.'

Following the source of the lights I could make out a village that was located in front of me. Now this was strange by itself, why would a village be in the Everfree? Also why haven't I seen this in the books I've read that were about Equestria's finest towns?

I made it to what seemed like the entrance and thought about what I should do next.

'Should I just ignore this village or explore it and write down these fascinating discoveries that came with it?'

"Grrrrrrr"

I jumped in the air after I heard that strange noise out of nowhere.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

I heard the noise again only to find out it was coming from me. That helped me make my decision to go to the mysterious town for food and shelter.

I went in the village and it gave me an ominous feeling as I looked around. I put my hood on and as I was walking I bumped into somepony.

"Sorry."

"Hey you don't look like your around here." The grey pony said with a suspicious glare.

"Oh I'm just looking around for food."

He brightened up and a huge grin formed. "You should join my party! Everypony here is coming but may I ask why are you wearing that cloak." He said attempting to grab my cloak.

"NO!" I yelled slapping his hoof away from my precious cloak. The happy expression on his face was replaced by a dark one.

"Hey friend what was that for?"

"I'm sorry...this cloak I'm wearing was made by my bestest friend in all Equestria!" My eyes started to water, "He just passed away earlier today and I don't want anypony to touch something valuable to me..."

I dropped to the ground and cried my heart out from mentioning Hawk to this stranger. I felt something wrap around me as I saw the stranger pony wrapping his hooves around me.

"I'm sorry for your loss friend. But my offer for joining my party still stands." He said with a huge grin on his face.

'This pony must really want me to go to his party.'

I calmed myself down and gave him a smile of my own. "Thanks and I'll love to join your party."

"Great!" He said smacking his hooves together. "Oh where are my manners? The names Greyhoof."

"Trixie."

"Trixie... fits you just right. Now let's get going, I'm sure a party will make you feel better. Well It'll probably would, plus there's always food in a party. So I got back on my hooves and followed him to the party.

But just walking through this town gave me the feeling to turn back. I used the information I know to make my decision.

'This town in the Middle of the Everfree is just creepy, but on the other hoof Greyhoof seems friendly so the other townsponies should be too!'

"Not to be rude Trixie but do you mind telling me about your friend?" That question made me stop moving as the memories started going through my mind again.

"I guess I can tell you. He was this type of creature called a human and his name is Hawk."

"A human? Never heard of that before but please continue." He said with that cheerful smile.

"We met in the forest and since then we became best friends! He would take care of me, risk his life for me, put on a show with me, and be would always hold me..." I let my mind slip away as I cherished the times where Hawk would hold me and how I would snuggle up with him at night.

I felt my body come back with that fuzzy feeling that made me happy. I smiled widely by the feeling he would give me. Oh how I missed th-

"Trixie? Trixie you there friend?" I snapped out of my trance as I felt my face heat up by embarrassment.

"Sorry If I made you worry but I got lost in my mind thinking about all those happy memories we shared." I looked at Greyhoof to see that he was still smiling!

"Well friend, I'm glad that your feeling better already..." He stopped and looked ahead. "Oh there's the party! Come on friend I want to introduce you to everypony. I gave him a nod as I saw the party up ahead.

Personally I thought that this party was going to be bad but it looks fantastic! I saw bright lights around the town as everypony there was either dancing, talking, or eating. I felt the warmth come back as I saw everypony having a good time.

"Well don't just stand there let's go have some fun!" He trotted away as I followed him. This town may look small but it has a lot of ponies!

"Excuse me everypony but I'll like you to meet my guest... Trixie!!!" I wasn't that type of pony that enjoyed being the center of attention considering I did magic in front of Audiences but that was for the bits in order to take care of my myself.

"And also keep in mind not to touch her cloak cause she'll smack you if you do!" Greyhoof said looking back at me with a wink. I couldn't help but blush as everypony let out a laugh before going on to whatever they were doing.

"Go enjoy yourself Trixie." Greyhoof then walked over to mingle with some of the other ponies. I took the hint and went over to the snack table to eat. There were so many yummy choices like chocolate cake, cupcakes, cookies, and a variety of fruits.

Not wanting to keep my stomach from waiting any longer I eat everything that I could. Munching away on cookies and fruit I didn't see the stallion next to me. He had a brown coat and an orange mane.

I stopped eating everything on the table and gave him an innocent smile. Surprisingly he let out a chuckle as be pulled out his hoof.

"Gladstone is my name but I couldn't help but wonder why are you eating like you haven't ate in days."

"That's because I haven't!" I said laughing at my response. But my laughter died as I noticed some missing from his flank:

It was his cutie mark...

I let out a gasp as I made that discovery. He's a stallion and still doesn't have his cutie mark? I looked around at the other ponies as they were also missing their cutie marks.

"Hey what's wrong? Was it something I said?"

"No but I like to ask a question." He gave me a nod. "Where everypony's cutie mark?" Gladstone tilted his head in confusion by this word.

"A cutie mark? I never heard anything like that." I opened my mouth in shock as he just told me he didn't know what a cutie mark was. But I decided to keep my mouth shut worrying this might lead to an argument.

"Uh... forget what I said! It was nice meeting you Gladstone!" I said showing him my hoof.

"Likewise friend Likewise." He said shaking my hoof before he went off to talk to the other ponies. That was strange but hey I need this party to clear up my mind.

I attempting to walk behind but was bumped into another stallion. This one had an orange coat and a blue mane but he looked like he was trying to find something.

"Oh! Pardon me ma'am but I was looking for something and didn't look where I was going."

"It alright, what's your name anyways?"

"Roneo, pleasure to meet you Trixie." He said with a smile similar to Greyhoof's.

"I don't mean to get in your business but what were you looking for?"

"I was looking for a red ruby so I can give it to her..." I looked at the direction he was pointing at and saw a white coated mare and she had an orange mane. Turning back to him he looked dazed so I started to wave my hoof at him.

"Helloo, Roneo are you there?"

He shook his head repeatedly before he came back to reality. "Sorry about that but can you keep a secret?" I nodded my head. "I have a crush on her." He whispered in my ear.

"So that ruby your looking for is supposed to be a gift for her?"

"Yes I was going to tell her how I feel but without it I don't have the confidence to tell her."

"I'll look around for it if that helps."

"Really?" I gave him a nod. "Thank you!!! If you find it let me know immediately." I told him that I'll let him know straight away and he left the conversation to continue his search. Seeing how I was still hungry I continued to eat everything on the table.

"You are going to leave some for the rest of us right?"

'I guess I got caught again.'

I turned around again to find another mare with a green coat and a mossy green mane. Maybe it was time to stop eating all their food so I stepped away from the table.

"Sorry, I haven't eaten in the last few days and I got a bit carried away." I said giving her a sheepish smile. Her face softened up and she gave me a gleeful smile.

"Oh then you can eat as much as you want! I don't want anypony starving while everpony else is having fun. Oh how rude of me my name is Three Leaf."

"Hello Three Leaf my name is Trixie." Three Leaf laughed her heart out for some odd reason.

"What's so funny? Did I do something?"

"I know your name is Trixie and I wouldn't be suprised if everypony in SunnyTown didn't know your name judging by how loud GreyHoof introduced you!"

"Oh yeah... I guess I forgot about that. So this place is called SunnyTown?"

"Yep, SunnyTown is the place to be! We have everything a pony can ever want which is why nopony has ever left our fair city."

"Wait Nopony has left? Don't you want to go explore all of Equestria?"

"Why would we? We have everything right here!"

"But you still haven't an-"

"Look Trixie maybe it's best if you stop asking all these questions if you know what's best for you." Her once happy expression turned into a menacing one as she stared at me like a hawk.

"U-Uh... okay I-I won't a-ask anymore q-questions." I said cowering in fear by her cold stare.

"Great! Don't you forget our agreement or I will do something." She just smiled and pranced away like nothing even happened.

'Guess I'll have to make sure not to bump into her again.'

I lost my appetite after our little talk so I went over to Roneo's crush. The thing is she didn't look happy like the rest of the other ponies.

"Hey, Is something wrong?" She looked up to me with tears in her eyes. She decided to hide it and just smiled.

"N-Nope everything is alright here!"

"Are you sure? You looked like you were crying just a moment ago. Her tears came back and she wrapped her forehooves around me.

"Oh things couldn't possibly be worst! Do you know Roneo?" I said yes, "I have a crush on him for a while now but he hasn't spoke to me in days!" She continued to sob on my cloak so I pushed her off.

"Sorry but I don't want anypony touching my cloak. But I'm sure Roneo is just nervous to talk to you and he'll come to you later." My words seemed to calm her down but that didn't stop everpony do stare at us because of her 'little' outburst.

"Don't worry everypony she's just sad about... well let's just say it's something personal." They seemed to buy that excuse so they went back to the party.

"Hey I never got your name."

"Starlet."

"Well Starlet keep your hopes up, who knows maybe Roneo is just waiting for the right time to talk to you." I kept my mouth shut about Roneo also having a crush on her so I wouldn't interfere with anypony's lives here.

"Thank you Trixie I really needed that but GreyHoof never told us why do you wear that cloak?" Now it was my turn to cry as the memories came back.

"Oh I'm sorry! Did I say something personal to you?"

"Y-Yes it just that this cloak came from my best friend of all Equestria. I also kind of had a crush on him too...... but he just died protecting me."

"Hey to be sad, I bet he's in a better place now and he's looking down on you as we speak." I never thought about him like that before. I began to feel all fuzzy thinking that he is watching over me.

"Thanks Starlet that made me feel better on how I look at things."

"Anytime friend... and just between us I think you guys would've made an excellent couple." Starlet winked at me after she said that.

"Y-Yeah we would have, it was nice talking to you."

"Same here we should talk again later." I waved my hoof at her and decided to explore the town. But after a few minutes of exploring I tripped and landing face first.

"Owww... wait what's this?" I managed to get back on my hooves and saw the red ruby Roneo was looking for.

"Yes! I found Roneo's gift!" Now all I have to do is to find him. I spent 30 minutes trying to find him but came up empty hoofed.

"Hey friend what are you doing here and not at my party?" I looked to the direction of the voice to find that Greyhoof was standing behind me.

"Oh hey Greyhoof I was just looking for Roneo because I found something that belongs to him." I showed him the red ruby and he looked happeir than ever.

"You found Roneo's missing ruby! Last I saw Roneo he was outside his house."

"Where is his house?"

"Go north than take a left, you can't miss it because of how big it is."

"Thanks Greyhoof! I'm going to give the ruby to him!" I yelled as I was running to his house. I used the directions Greyhoof told me and went north then took a left. Sure enough his house was easy to see and he's outside still looking for the ruby.

"Roneo! Roneo! I found the ruby!!!" He turned around and saw the ruby that I had which turned his sad expression into a excited one.

"Trixie you found it!!! Thank you so much!" Roneo gave me the tightest hug I ever experienced that I felt that I couldn't breathe.

"Can you do me one last favor and bring Starlet here?"

"Sure Roneo it's not like I have something else to do than just eating." We shared a good laugh but I could've swore I heard somepony crying but I ignored it and went off to find Starlet.

[Back at the Party]

"Starlet! I need to talk to you!"

"What the matter Trixie?"

"I have some good news for you, Roneo just talked to me and he wants me to tell you that he would like to talk with you!"

"Really?" I gave her an excited nod. "Ohmygosh, Ohmygosh! But wait... what will I say to him?" Starlet started to panic so I had to calm her down.

"Relax Starlet just be yourself and everything will turn out just fine."

"Wow that's some good advice thanks Trixie." That's when I got another tight hug tonight. "Can you come with me? I think I'll do better with you by my side. I felt touched that somepony needs my help besides Hawk.

"Sure Starlet let's not keep Roneo waiting."

We walked for 6 minutes before Roneo's house came into our view. Roneo was hiding something behind him and he looked just as nervous as Starlet.

"H-Hey Starlet."

"H-Hey Roneo."

I watched as the two kept stuttering on what to say. "Hey Roneo I think you should show Starlet the you know what."

"Oh right yes." He revealed his other hoof to show Starlet the red ruby. She gasped in shock as she saw the ruby.

"Starlet, We've known each other for a very long time but I want to tell you how I really feel..." He took a deep breath and gave her the ruby.

"I love you Starlet."

Tears of joy started to fall from Starlet's face as she hugged Roneo.

"Roneo I love you too! But I don't want the ruby."

"What? Why?" Roneo asked in full confusion.

"Because you already gave me the greatest gift... your Love." I have to admit that I was also crying seeing something as heartwarming as this.

"Come Starlet let's go enjoy the party, together." They grabbed each others hooves and walked back to the party. Roneo turned around and gave me a thank you as they left.

I felt warm as I helped two ponies get together as a couple but I heard the crying again. This time it was louder than before.

'Who can be crying when there's a party going on?'

I noticed that the crying came from Roneo's house. That was strange since I just saw Roneo and Starlet leave for the party. I might as well go check on that mysterious pony.

I opened the door and saw a mare on the floor crying. She has a light grey coat and a dark red mane. She seemed to notice me but still went on crying.

"Hey what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Wait are you new here?" I nodded my head, "You have to go now!" I dumbfounded to her response, why does she want me to go?

"Why do I have to go? I love it here in SunnyTown."

"No you shouldn't love it here, you don't know who they really are."

"Look uh..."

"Mitta."

"Look Mitta I don't know why you want me to leave but I want to stay."

"Remove your cloak."

"What?"

"Remove your cloak." It was a weird request but I did it anyways. She gasped as I removed my cloak.

"You have the mark..."

"My cutie mark? What's wrong with it?"

"You really have to go now. Put your cloak back on and leave as fast as you can."

"But what's wrong with my cutie mark?" I asked as I put my cloak back on.

"If they see you with it they'll do who knows what."

"Alright... I guess I'll trust your word on it. But I'll miss this place."

"Hurry! Go Now!!!"

I left Roneo's house and started to make my way back to the entraced still confused to why Mitta wants me to leave.

I was almost out but was stopped by the one and only Greyhoof.

"Hey there friend leaving already?"

"Yes Greyhoof I had the best night here but I'm afraid I have to be going now. But I'll visit again if I come across SunnyTown again."

"Well alright... but I just want to let you know that your always welcome in SunnyTown." I gave him a nod and left SunnyTown.

I forgot all about the amulet while I was in SunnyTown so I'm determined to go to Canterlot now. But for now I have to find a place to sleep. Looking around the Everfree for a while I spotted a cave up ahead.

'Perfect.'

Arriving at the cave I got the feeling I shouldn't be here right now...

"ROAR!"

'You got to be kidding me...'

"ROAR!"

"Ahhhhh!" I rushed out of the cave and sure enough their was an Ursa Major this time. Running as fast as I can I knew in a few moment's I was a goner but that's when my luck came back.

'YES! My magic is restored.'

I quickly started to perform the teleportation spell as the Ursa Major was within my reach. The Ursa Major lifted It's paw and swiped it at me.

As it's paw was a few centimeters away my eyes were blinded by a bright light and sure enough I was in the outskirts of Canterlot. Apparently while I was in SunnyTown it was raining but I"m all drh thanks to my cloak. I couldn't believe it, now the Alicorn Amulet was now mine. Running towards the shop where the amulet was I didn't mind the puddles that I ran into.

There it was, the infamous curio shop. Stepping inside I saw all kinds of antiques but not the amulet. "May I help you, traveler? Hmm, something drew you to my shop... something powerful."

I looked behind him to see the Alicorn Amulet. I pointed a hoof towards it.

"Ah, you have a keen eye. The Alicorn Amulet is one of the most mysterious and powerful of all the known magical charms. Uh, ah— I'm afraid this is... far too dangerous."

'Why would you have it then?'

I threw him the bag of bits me and Hawk earned from the show. He smiled as he saw the large bag of bits.

"Would you like that gift-wrapped?"

I grinned like a mad mare staring at the amulet.

'I hope you enjoying your day Sparkle... because your about to get the revenge you deserve'

??? Pov

'Let's go cause some chaos'

Knowing that it was dead I decided to make a fatal choice. I must gave him a portion of my powers. It was a large risk but it will be worth it when I take over Equestria.

I took a deep breath and proceded to the spell. Seeing the black wave forming on my paw and claw I pushed it into the creatures body. It started to shake as the powers were going into it.

When I gave it enough of my powers it's eyes started to open. But it seemed off somehow as it's eyes started to glow full black and it turned to me.

"Hello Lord Discord." Now that's how you do it! With it by my side I'm 100% sure that I'm going to rule Equestria.

"Hello minion do you mind telling me what you are and your name?"

"I am Hawk and I'm a human from planet Earth."

"Good now show me what you're made of."

"Yes Lord Discord." It told me to back up so I did. It clapped its hoov- or whatever they were and a massive wave sent me back.

'Woah now that's chaos.'

I looked at the destruction it made and saw hundreds of trees gone by the wave. "Excellent work Hawk! Is there anything else you can do?"

"Certainly Lord Discord."

Hawk turned back around and started to move the trees with its claw like appendages. All the remaining trees and set it on fire. Then Hawk snapped its appendages and a bright light started to blind me.

"Lord Discord there is many more but I have one question... when are we going to start creating Chaos?"

I smiled widely knowing where to begin our path to chaos...

"Hawk were going to Ponyville."
