Prologue

It was a dark and gloomy night. Storm clouds were rolling over the Everfree forest, where two ponies were wandering around the thick foliage. "Trixie we should head back" The bright yellow pony said to the light blue unicorn. "Come on Lemonhead, nothing is going to hurt us, The Tree of Harmony keeps them at bay" Trixe said to Lemonhead reassuringly. A few minutes later is started to rain. "Trixie can we please head back now" Lemonhead said to Trixie pleadingly. Trixie looked her friends in the eye and said in defeat "Fine".

As they were following the trail home, two silhouettes were following them. As they reached the edgeof the forest  Lemonhead saw the silhouettes following and quickly told Trixie " Trixie I saw something move" "Don't worry its just your imagination" Trixie said. When they had reached the outskirts of town two draconic creature's swooped down from the clouds and reached for Lemonhead, noticing what was happening, Trixie blasted them away from her friend. "Run! I'll handle them." Trixie told Lemonhead "but-"Lemon tried to say but Trixie interrupted her "No buts, Just run." Lemonhead started running as fast as she could trying to fight away her tears as she watched Trixie get pulled into the Darkness. She only heard oneword before Trixie was gone. "Run"

Chapter One: Treehouse sweet Treehouse

Twilight was busy rearranging the books, as usual when she heard rattaling on the door. She wondered why anypony would be out in this weather. She opened the door to reveal a once Bright yellow Earth pony. Her fur was now stained brown with mud and foliage. She looked like she was crying as there were two streaks going down her face.

As Twilight noticed there scratches on her back. "What's your name?" Twilight asked "its Lemonhead " said the pony in a soft voice. "Lemonheart, thats a lovely name. How-what happened" Twilight said reassuringly. "I was walking in the Everfree with my friend, when it started to rain and we were heading back when these-these dragons attacked us. It reached for me and scratched my bavk but by freind blasted them back. She told me to run and then got snatched away into the clouds" Twilight watched in horror as she heard these events "i-I will tell Princess Celestia what happened you can stay here for the night"
