A new Beginning !?...

They started looking for the new treath that arrived at Canterlot, ready to take Equestria, a thing that they won't let him do.

After some time they finally found him. Discord turn his head back.

"Now, I'm gonna aske again. Go back to where you came from." Celestia said

He laughed. "I'm HOME. This is my new home."

"I didn't want to use magical force against you, you'll probably won't like it." she said

She used her horn to summon a magical blast and shooted at him. He snapped his fingers that made the magical blast became slow motion.

"What? How did you did that?" she asked. "I'm an alicorn. How can you match my magical ability?"

"As I said. I'm the Lord of Chaos. Now if you excuse me." he said.

With a snap of his fingers, their horns and her wings dissappeared.

"Hey give us that back." Celestia said.

"You had to catch me first." he said. He then snapped his fingers again and separated the three ponies.

Shadow Night was teleported to Everfree Forest. Luna was teleported to (what I like to call) alpha Cloudsdale. And Celestia was teleported to (what I like to call) alpha Ponyville.

In Everfree Forest.

Shadow Night started to wake up, he slowly openned his eyes and saw himself in that place again.

"Again, Everfree Forest." he said "Well, I still had my magic." he tried to used his magic, but nothing worked. "Oh I almost forgot that guy made my horn disappear."

He got up on his hooves and started to find an exit.

"Did this Forest was so, so confusing. I don't remember. I...I..." he was stopped in his track of words when he heard some growls and roars coming from the shadow in front of him and heard a small voice calling for help.

Even being enable to cast magic, he knew that he should save that pony. What if was Luna? Or Celestia? He refused to let that happen and follow the dark path. Until...

A zebra was running away from fiercily TimberWolfs, she had find flowers that are known for their yourth effects, that mixed with other plants could bring ponies back to their youth ages. But the problem was these flowers grow on the back of TimberWolfs so she need it to collect from them, that made them angry. That's what made them angry.

She kept running and running until she tripped on a rock, that made her roll back. Resulting in her body hitting rocks, branches and sharp things, those results made her started to bleed. And since TimberWolfs are attracted by blood it was easy to find her.

The TimerberWolfs started to close distance, as they kept moving towards her. She couldn't got up, her wounds were so painful that she didn't resist in trying to escape. 'Good, for my own sake, look where I got myself into' she said to herself.

Then she felt a yell coming from behind of the TimberWolfs.

"You there. TimberWolfs. Leave that thing alone." he said.

The TimberWolfs trotted back, as they realized what they're facing. They had fleed to the woods, leaving the zebra alone.

"Thanks, I thought that nopony would heard me." she said. "Who are you? I can't see you. Could you show up?" she asked

"Maybe not, you'll probably won't like it." he answered.

"Come on. I don't bite you." she said. "Please."

He sighed and decided to get out of his hidding. When she gazed over his body she tremble and shack. "You're a shadow pony."

He nodded.

"Are you going to kill me? But I'm not..." she said

"Calm down." he said while he got up his hoof. "I'm not gone to kill. I just saved you." he said.

He started to close distance between them. When he got closer enough to her, he saw those open wounds. "You're wounded." he said

She nodded. "I know. I was in a trip for getting these flowers for my recent new potion. And came to know that these flowers grew in the TimberWolfs backs. So I tried to cut one but he woke up and started to run after me. I was scared and try to ran back to my cottage." she said

"Where's it? Your cottage." he asked

"Not too far." she said "But since you're a shadow pony, why didn't you killed me?" she asked

"I left that behavior. I'm Shadow Night, Princess Luna personal guard. I got teleported here by a creature named Discord." he said

"Discord!! He's back!!" she said

"How did you know him?" he asked

"From my old books. Let us go to my cottage and I could show you".

She tried to get on her hooves but due to her wounds, she failed.

"Could I help you? Did you mind if I carry you to your cottage?" he asked. "It seems that you're very wounded to walk by yourself."

"You don't mind." she said

"Come on." he said while he laid down on the ground so she could climb on his back. "Oh, I didn't ask you? Who are you?" he asked

"I'm Zecora. I'm a shaman."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Zecora." he said

"Me too." she said

In Zecora's cottage.

Shadown Night misisng horn didn't stop him from trying to heal her wounds. He used an old healing tradition.

Zecora body was tended by some herbs and leaves that she didn't even know that it had healing abilities.

"How could, I don't know that these herbs were capable of healing wounds? I just got potions." she said. "Wait, are you a shaman too or..."

"No, I'm just a guard, personal guard to be precise. I need to study these kind of information. And I was a tender in my village before joining the Assassination Team." he said

"What made you quit it? Or who made you quit it?" she asked

"I felt in love with Princess Luna. The Princess of Night." he answered. "I has to be dead in this moment."

"What?" she asked confused by his recent words.

"I protected and saved both of the Princesses and the King from my kind, I didn't resist the wounds that they caused me and I died. But... The King in order to stop an Eternal Night and because Luna really cared for me. He decided to gave me the immortality ability. I promise to the King that I would keep them protected." he said

She got up off her and started to trotted towards her bookself.

"Here, follow me. I heard of some kind of magic, that could be capable of stopping that creature." she said.

When she reached her bookself, she started to look for that book.

"Here, I found it." she said while grabbing the right book.

She started to read that book, until she found the topic.

"Here. There's a strong magic ability that could be capable of ending this creature. They're called The Elements of Harmony." she said

"Where I could find them?" he asked.

"You can't. You have to earn it. They're Six in total: Loyalty, Laughter, Magic, Kindness, Honesty and Generosity. There's anothe one but it's not that important. It's called: Protection. Here says that, this element isn't needed to fully achieve the true power of the elements but it could protect the casters."

"But how? I.. don't have a horn so element of magic can't be earned by me."

"Hmm. These Elements ,they just could be earned by alicorns." she said

"But, I don't know where they're?" he asked

"Of course not." she said while close the book and returned it to the bookself. "Here. I'll prepare something for us to drink and I could try to make a potion that could bring your horn back."

Zecora trotted towards her cauldron and started to prepare her potion.

"Zecora, I didn't ask you but, why you need those plants?" he asked

"Their known for having youth effects. A potion with that effect can bring old age ponies back to younger ages. But that doesn't mean that the pony will became immortal, it just bring in back to it youth." she said.

She finished to preparing her potion and gave it to him.

"Here. Drink this. This will bring your horn back, but you will need some time to regain your learned magical abilities." she said

He drank the potion and felt his body reacting strangly to this new effect and suddenly he felt his horn again. "Oh, thanks. Zecora. If you need something from me I..."

"There's no need, for anything. You helped me. Consider this as a 'Thank you'. Ok." she said.

He nodde and started to trotted to the cottage exit.

"Now I need to find them. I just need to know how." he said. "That's it, I got my horn back. You dumb, *laughts*. I can feel their vital essecence. Thanks again, Zecora. If you need something, don't hesitated to go to the Canterlot Palace. You'll be welcome there." he said while leaving her cottage.

"You're welcome. Now get back to my job, making that youth potion." she said

He started to casting his magic trying to feel Princess Luna presence. Then something blinked and he discorved where she was.'alpha Cloudsdale. Oh well, let's go.'

He used his magic to teleport himself, near to Luna's position.

With a bright flash he left Everfree Forest and appeared on alpha Cloudsdale.
