As day's pass, so do memories. Something you might know instinctively as a child You may forget as A grown adult, this can vary depending on what it is but most of it is natural. This brings me to A symptom widely known as amnesia, the lapse of memories for various reasons, from being hit in the head with ludicrous strength to simply disease.

In some cases, perhaps amnesia is a good thing

Twilight woke up with a severe pounding in her head as if a rubber mallet was being banged against her skull from the inside. She was laying on the crystal floor of the map room surrounded by a torn up hay mattress and a smashed bottle.

"what happened? why is there hay all around me?" Twilight thought still confused about the situation, "why can't I remember what happened last night?".

Twilight slowly got up even with the pounding in her head and stood up.
One of the first things she noticed was a strange device on her wall, it appeared to be a box with a strange tube that widened the farther it got from the base, underneath were two buttons, one green, and one red. The mysterious box began to make the noise of a ringing bell, so twilight went over and pressed the green button and a metallic voice spoke out of the tube.

"Twilight sparkle correct?" said the voice.

"who is this?" Said twilight sparkle, "what do you want?".

"Your assistance is urgently needed. the machine that lies deep under ponyville has been shut off, putting everyponys life in danger! you must re-activate it immediately! Just remember, Red is the color of the night while blue is the earth pony's delight" the voice said before a buzz could be heard. The machine turned off and the voice was gone.

"wait a minute! what machine? why does everypony's life rely on it?" Twilight said in vain.

She found her way downstairs still with the pounding and found A picture frame with rotating pieces. It was a picture of rolling hills with a blue sky. when she rotated the sky tile it had four different colors, red, blue, green, and orange. while the hills tile had 4 tiles, Purple, red, white, and black. She remembered what the voice said.

"red is the night which you see in the sky and hills are earth element," she thought to herself. Using that thought she changed the sky tile to red and the hills tile to blue.

And suddenly the wall behind her began to shake before A opening appeared showing a staircase leading down into the unknown. twilight turned around and approached the opening. Dried blood lead down the stairs into the unknown, with the only light being that of the occasional gas lamp on the walls. Rather curious and frightened twilight felt like no matter what she did all paths would lead back to the stairs. Seeing no other choice she began to descend the stairs into the dark
