The Changing paths of elements

*All the ponies would continue talking to one another except Delirium who was sitting against a tree far from the group by her self with both her front hooves clenching her head as she spoke in a panic like tone while trying not to be over heard by her friends*

Delirium:"Why did I say that..oh why did I say that to her..Luna is my friend..and so is Celestia whats gotten into me..why am I acting like this?! I-I just need sleep that's all yea that's it! And I can just try and forget this entire day ever happened.."

*Delirium shook her head while still clenching it as a voice echoed in her head*

*The echo of the voice would manifest its self into Deliriums shadow and appear beside her with a devilish tone to her voice*

Deliriums shadow:"Forget?..Why try and forget our plans miss loyalty?.."

*Delirium would answer back to her shadow in a frightened voice*

Delirium:"C-Cause its wrong I shouldn't be doing this.."

Deliriums Shadow:"Do you really think you have a choice in this miss Loyalty?..Cause you don't."

Delirium:"But..I don't want too..I refuse to do any more of this .."

Deliriums Shadow:"Do you really think..that I'd let that happen I'm what you are..and what you want to be..take my advice your nothing without me miss Loyalty."

Delirium:"But I.."

*Deliriums shadow raised an eyebrow as she quickly turned Delirium around and placing her hooves gently over Deliriums Shoulders*

Deliriums Shadow:"Think of it this way..picture it, the world would be at your disposal and for you to control and bend at your own free will with no one to tell you to no or what you should and shouldn't do and you wouldn't be that mare who's just one of the elements who constantly helps reform pathetic creatures you don't even know and would be the mare known for her power ruling with an iron hoof."

Delirium:"But what about the others..what about my friends?"

*Deliriums shadow would snap at Delirium with an angered voice*

Deliriums Shadow:"Friends? If they were your friends they wouldn't be trying to stop us..but there not your friends are they..no not anymore..i'm your only friend Delirium your one and only true friend who hasn't left your side since the start I say you should trust me more then those wretched ponies believe me my dear Delirium I shall take care of them if matters get worse or..the elements will take care of them before I do."

Delirium:"W-What do you mean the elements might take care of them..?"

*Deliriums shadow would only smirk as she gave off an evil chuckle*

Deliriums Shadow:"You'll just have to wait and see..it'll be a surprise to be unforgettable."

*Delirium began to whisper to her self quietly*

Delirium:"I should warn them.."

*Deliriums Shadow pinned her ears back forcefully as she walked up to Delirium grabbing her by the chin roughly*

Deliriums Shadow:"You shall do no such thing Delirium I wont allow that to happen so stick with the plan.."

*Deliriums shadow threw Delirium to the ground roughly as aloud slam was made once Delirium hit the ground letting out a whimper*

Delirium's Shadow:"Now don't do anything you'll regret Delirium..but to make sure you don't..lets get rid of that goodie too shoes personality you got its too sickening."

*Deliriums shadow's horn began to glow a dark red aura as the silhouette walked towards Delirium placing her horn against Deliriums head lightly as a grin began to grow on her face*

Delirium's Shadow:"Its time I take control."

*Delirium closed her eyes as her ears pinned back as the shadow of her ran into her body*

Delirium:"Gah..*Delirium clenched the ground as her legs trembled but slowly her body would stop shaking suddenly as she opened her eyes grinning*

Delirium:"Now that's..much better"

*Delirium walked over leaving with out the others noticing her as she headed back into the castle*

Young Celestia:"Discord..I think..we should go ask Star Swirled now.."

Young Discord:"Oh um..right.."

*Young Celestia blushed as she looked at discords front hooves wrapped around her stomach to keep her in his embrace from earlier*

Young Celestia:"Uh..Discord..could you..um..unwrap your arms.."

Young Discord:"Oh! I didn't realize I still was holding you these things have a mind of their own."

*Discord would take his arms off Celestia as he was asked too and got up helping Celestia up*

Young Discord:"Mi'Lady."

Young Celestia:"Your too kind."

*Celestia took his hoof as Discord had pulled her to her feet*

Young Celestia:"Do you think he'll know what to do or at least have an idea that could help us?"

Young Discord:"Well my father is full of great ideas and created a bunch of spells so I'm sure he'll have some clue to how to help."

*Discord waved his wing to his father Star Swirled as he and Celestia trotted towards Star Swirled

Young Discord:"Hey dad! We gotta ask ya something its important but we have to speak to you in private..

Star Swirled:"Oh?..What about?"

Young Celestia:"Will explain in the castle some pony might be listening in."

*Celestia tugged on Star Swirls hoof motioning discord to follow as they galloped into the castle and leaving the garden*

Star Swirled:"Must be something important then if your practically dragging me down miss Celestia.."

Young Celestia:"Goodness I'm terrible sorry Star swirled."

*Celestia levitated Star swirled on too Discords back while they were galloping*

*Discord would fall back from the sudden drop of his father landing on his back*

Young Discord:"oof..did ya have to drop him on my Celestia?!

*Celestia turned her head back and stopped her self in her tracks as she turned around trotting back to where discord fell back and helped him up levitating Star Swirled off Discords back*

Young Celestia:"Guess I got carried away."

*Discord pinned his ears back as he rubbed his head

Young Discord:"Ya think?"

Young Celestia:"Lets not argue about this right now lets get going."

Star Swirled:"Agreed."

Young Discord:"Fine..hmph."

Young Celestia:"Why not uh you lead the way instead to your Studies room Star Swirled."

Star Swirled:"Glad too come along."

Young Celestia & Discord both:"Alrighty."

*Celestia and Discord would follow Star Swirled to his studies, Once the three had arrived at Star Swirled's studies he would open the door for them allowing them to come in with Discord  shutting the door behind them with his wing*

Star Swirled:"Now tell me whats so important you wanted to talk about you two."

*Both Celestia and Discord looked at one another giving each other a small nod before answering Star Swirled*

Young Celestia:"Well..its about the elements.."

Young Discord:"Celestia and I think there's something wrong with them."

Star Swirled:"Wrong?..How exactly?" *Star Swirled asked seeming intrigued in this news*

Young Celestia:"Well Luna told me this earlier before the ceremony had started and..said she saw one of the elements looked grey said it was the element of loyalty..so I told I'd talk to you to see if you knew anything about it."

Star Swirled:"Grey you said right?"

Young Celestia:"Yes."

Star Swirled:"Let me look..perhaps I might have something that could help figure this out."

*Star Swirled walked to his book shelf getting on his hind legs to reach one of his books on the elements and began flipping through the pages but only a shocked and worried look formed on his face*

Young Discord:"Dad..whats wrong..what did you find?.."

Star Swirled:"That's Just it I didn't find anything at all about the elements or an element becoming grey."

Young Discord:"Let me see that."

*Discord quickly snatched the book away from his father Star Swirled*

Young Discord:"Did you check every page?

Star Swirled:"Yes and none of the pages show any answers to this issue."

*Discord gave an unamused look with a slight pout to it looking at his father*

Young Discord:"You lie."

Star Swirled:"As if I'd lie about a matter this important."

Young Discord:"Well ya never know ya lied to mom a few times when she was around."

Star Swirled:"That is a completely different issue to the one were facing right now, Celestia which element was grey exactly if I may ask."

Young Celestia:"Loyalty.."

Star Swirled:"Strange..But I have a suggestion.."

Young Celestia:"What's the suggestion Star swirled?"

Star Swirled:"I Suggest you try and your best to keep an eye on Delirium then since shes the element of loyalty and it'd be wise to not be seen when you do she could be up to something.."

Young Discord:"Like what?.."

Star Swirled:"I can't answer that because I don't exactly know my self but if one of the elements are grey this could be just the beginning of something much worse to come perhaps you should make Sombra and Chrysalis aware of this troublesome news it'd be wise for them to know aswell."

Young Celestia:"Alright and thank you for trying to help us Star Swirled.."

*Delirium would be peeking in secretly grinning*

Delirium:"So..they think just telling the others will make em safe..there very mistaken."

*Delirium walked off before Celestia and Discord left Star swirls studies.*
