The Original Elements

"And that's why I believe we should have some kind of protector." Tia folded her left hoof over her right proudly, raising her head high.

Lauren Faust, also known as Fausticorn, had a slightly annoyed hint in her expression, "So you think we should have some sort of protection from outsiders? Look, Miss...Tia Star, is it? Equestria has not been attacked in decades. It hasn't even been attacked once, ever since it was founded. I don't see much for urgent action."

"But your highness, we have no idea what could happen. The land is only beginning to expand! Enemies could find out of our existence!" Tia replied, her face full of worry.

"For the last time Miss Star, Equestria is safe under my wing. We do not need to take urgent action in something so useless at the moment!" Fausticorn rose from her golden throne, glaring at the small mare.

Tia looked at the ground, disappointed in herself for being such a fool. A guard led her out.

Lauren turned towards a window in the throne room, trotting to it. Her disappointment in her student barely did much, knowing she was just trying to help.

"She just needs time..."

Tia trotted inside her room, far above the castle in a tall tower. She threw down her scroll of her plans for the protection idea, shoving all the papers off her table in rage. This knocked down her lamp, shattering it.

"Sister, are thou not the happy again?" Her sister, Lulu, stepped out of the shadows of the now-darkened room.

"She declined it." Tia sat down at her desk, burying her head in her hooves.

"Sister, it shall be alright. Thou plan is extremely useful, even if the queen denies it." Lulu trotted over, sitting across from her sister.

Tia looked up at her, "thanks, Lulu." She smiled slightly, getting up. Lulu watched as she got in bed, facing the wall.

"The good night to you, thy sister." Lulu trotted to her bed, the two drifting off.

A large creature flew through the skies, the sound of chaos echoing in Tia's ears. The creature had a long tale covered in scales, and many different animal body parts.

A draconequus.. Tia thought, gasping. Six figures floated in the air, a rainbow beam circling them. It spiraled into the air, curving down, and charging at the creature. It erupted into pure stone, dropping. The draconequus slammed into the ground, still in a full piece. Tia trotted towards it, stopping near its head. The eyes were full of fear, the claw and paw extended out, as if trying to keep the magic away, before it had been defeated. A stone pupil suddenly moved towards her, looking at her.

Tia burst up, screaming. Lulu tumbled of her bed, the early morning light shining through the window.

"Sister! Are thou alright?" Lulu got up, rushing towards her petrified sister.

"J-Just a bad dream." Tia looked at her, calming down.

"If you say so, sister." Lulu turned back around, opening the door, "I'm assuming breakfast is ready. And you make one good alarm clock," She shut the door behind her.

Tia held in a snicker.
