To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

"We need your help Twilight." I say.

Twilight sighs, then says "Alright, Arthur. What do you need?"

I say "I need the Elements of Harmony."

Twilight says "Are you even connected to them?"

"I don't know. But, they might be the only things that can stop Nexus." I say.

"Okay. Since I trust you with them. They are inside a cave, in the Everfree Forest. I'll take you there. Just give me a couple minutes to get ready." Twilight says.

I nod at Twilight.

Twilight walks out of view.

I start seeing flashes of Derpy getting hit by what seemed like a reverse rainbow.

"Are you okay, Arthur?" Derpy asks.

My thoughts get interrupted by Starspiral's voice, he says "Hey everypony."

Everypony in the room looks at Starspiral, he continues on, "I know I said I wasn't gonna help you, but I found something I think you should see."

Starspiral pulls out a sheet of paper out of his saddlebag.

"It's a spell that allows you to contact anypony." He says.

I take the sheet of paper, and put it in my bag.

"Do you want to come with us?" I ask.

"I can't, but I'll be back." Starspiral says.

Starspiral disappears in magic sparks.

Twilight comes back, then says "I'm ready to go."

"Okay. Let's go, then." I say.

Me, Twilight, Scarlet, Abdulia, Derpy, and Spike walk out of the castle.

We start walking.

"So, what are the Descendants of Maximus, exactly?" Twilight asks.

"The Descendants of Maximus, are what the title says. We are the keepers of the ancient history of Equestria. Every generation must keep the organization a secret, because there are forces that wish to destroy us. We take in ponies that are orphans, lost and scared; or if they are special, like Arthur.

Our tenth great-grandfather, Maximus, made the Elements of Harmony, and The Tree of Harmony.

Maximus vowed to protect Equestria, with Harmony, but one fateful day, his brother, Commodus, wanted other plans.

Maximus had no choice, but to take actions, he turned Commodus into an obsidian statue.

Maximus became depressed, he stopped eating until he died.

Or, so we think.

He spent the rest of his days saying goodbye to everypony in our village." Scarlet responds.

"Wow, that's a lot to take in. But, you do know that Princess Celestia needs to learn about you." Twilight says.

"No one else should know, there could be serious consequences." Scarlet says.

We come to a stop at a treeline.

7 minutes later

CRACK! The sound of a twig breaking nearly gave me a heart attack.

"What was that?!" I ask.

"It was just a twig. Relax." Scarlet says.

"How in Equestria am I supposed to relax? There could be a serial killer in this forest." I say.

"Be quiet, Arthur. You'll scare Spike." Twilight says.

"Scare me? Good luck, I kept my cool when Nexus was holding me hostage, remember?" Spike says.

Twilight says "How could I forget?".

We continue walking.
