MLP: Harmony Fallen
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna sits on her balcony that overlooks the river cutting through the canyon floor below the peak the castle and its city is built into. Her horn is alight. Her magic’s blue aura pulsing as she mediates. Her ears flicker, swiveling in the direction of a noise coming from her room. Hearing the door open and hooves walking along the marble floor, she smirks. “Hello sister.”
“How did you know?” Celestia wonders, walking up to her sister. “What if it was Terren?”
“I just know.” She ends her meditation and looks at her sister.
Celestia rolls her eyes and sits next to her sister. “How are they?”
Luna hums. “Last I checked, they were fine.” She smiles. “Spending time with their families is all.” Celestia gives a sigh of relief as she looks up, watching the stars dotting the night sky flicker about. Luna giggles as she too looks up at the stars. “You worry too much.”
“You know why I worry for them.” Celestia glares at her youngest sister.
“I know.” Luna looks at her sister with a raised brow. “But they have only been gone for a day.” Luna frowns. “I swear Tia! Remember what mother and our sister Solis said about your anxiety? You need to remain calm.”
Celestia groans out a yawn, “I know…”
“Why don’t you sleep sister.
Celestia yawns again. “I will only if you promise to check up on them in their dreams.”
“I will Tia… Now go get some rest.” Luna chuckles. Celestia nods as she slowly makes her way to her chambers. Hearing her door shut, Luna sighs as she closes her eyes. “Oh, Tia you worry too much.”
-An Hour Later-
Crickets sing their nightly songs. Winds flows down the northern mountain slopes of Canterlot’s northern mountain range, washing over the town.
Celestia is sound asleep in her chamber. Her blankets wrap her in protective warmth. Her lips flap as she breathes softly. Her soft snoring fills the room. Spike sleeps at the foot of her bed, sleeping in a basket with a large down pillow acting as its mattress. The pillow consumes him as he lays on it in the fetal position. His breathing is shallow and his breath his warm.
A breeze colder than the last pours into her room. She shivers a bit as her face takes the brunt of the assault. She moans and rolls over, burying her face into pillow. Her mind still heavy with slumber.
Spike hums a soft tune, enjoying the cold air. Smacking his lips, he buries his face into his pillow and lets out a sigh of hot air.
A hissing moan softly passes of the room. A dark shadow figure lurks in the corner of the room. Its bright white eyes glare at Celestia with an unclear set of emotion or any emotion that anyone could pinpoint or confirm this creature’s state of mind. Slowly blinking its eyes, it slithers across the ceiling over towards Celestia’s bed. Dangling above her, its eyes melt into its tar like body as it begins dripping from the ceiling onto her. ‘I… Will… Achieve… Salvation…’
Celestia sits on her throne in the Grand Central Palace. A room made of rich cream marble, stained glass windows depicting important events in Equestria’s history. Large limestone crossings hold up the ceiling that stretches about thirty feet. Her gaze is upon six little fillies, their ages ranging from eight to nine. She looks at their chest and sees the Element of Harmony glowing their colors softly.
“Fillies settle down.” She commands. The fillies stop their conversations and look up at the royal. “Good, now,” She manifests a notebook. “Who remembers what lesson we are learning today?” Three hooves go in the air. “Rarity?”
“Um… We’re learning about Equestrian history?” Rarity states with confidence.
“No… That’s tomorrows lesson.” Celestia smirks. “Pinkie?”
“Ooh, we’re going to learn about, um… uh… I forgot.” Pinkie whines, hiding behind her long magenta mane. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy giggle at her facial expression.
Celestia shakes her head. “Oh, Pinkie…” She looks down at Twilight. “Twilight, do you know?”
Twilight shakes her head. “We’re going to learn about the third group of element bearers.”
Celestia nods. “Yes… That is the lesson, but that’s for later on in the day.”
“Then why did you ask us?” Rainbow Dash tilts her head to the side.
“Making sure you’re paying attention.” Celestia smirks.
“Then what are we learning?” Applejack ponders.
“We’re going for a walk.” Celestia stands up and walks down the steps to her throne and past the young element bearers.
The fillies’ elements light up. “A walk?” Twilight asks in confusion as she follows their mentor.
“Yes, a walk.” Celestia hums. “Just a walk…”
High above them, Luna watches as they leave the throne room. Her ghostly figure smiles. ‘She’s dreaming of them… That’s good to know… You keep dreaming sister.’ With giggle she leaves her sister’s dream.
Unknown to her, a black mass begins to slowly consume the throne room.
Sending herself back to her realm, ‘The Realm of Dreams’, Luna walks down the endless hall, passing many mirror-like doors. Stopping at one of these doors, she looks into it and sees a stallion dreaming of being a part of the opera. She looks into another and sees a mare dreaming of a vacation at the beach. Huming in content, she summons the doors to fly on past her.
‘Stop!’ The doors stop. Activating her horn once again, she summons the doors to close, leaving only six. ‘Time to get to work.’ Nearing one of the doors, she looks into it and sees a younger version of Twilight playing a game of cards with her friends. With a hum, she enters the dream.
“Minuette it’s your turn.” Moon Dancer states.
Minuette huffs looking at her playing cards she holds in her magic. Biting her tongue, she moans as she debates on what card to play.
“Minuette, it’s not rocket science.” Twilight mumbles as she lays her head in her hooves as she lies on her stomach.
“It is!” Minuette huffs. “I only have five mana cards!” She points at the cards on the ground in front of her.
Lyra looks at the trio with wide eyes as she chews her gum in silence. She looks at her hand and field and smirks.
“Just play something.” Moon Dancer huffs.
“Fine…” Minuette taps out her mana and plays a card.
Twilight, Moon Dancer, and Lyra look at the card. It’s a creature card, with five toughness and three health. Reading its ability, they see it has the ability to strike first in combat. Twilight frowns as she looks through her cards.
“Don’t stay out to late sweetie!” Twilight hears her mother shout.
“I won’t!” Her brother replies as he heads for the front door.
“Where are you going?” Twilight asks.
Shining Armor looks at his sister and her friends. “Hanging out with some friends from school.” He looks at their card game. “Who’s winning?”
“I am.” Lyra giggles.
“No, you’re not.” Moon Dancer retorts.
Shining rolls his eyes as he activates his magic. “You fillies have fun.” He smiles at his sister. “See you later Twily.”
“See you later Shine.” She waves, watching him shut the door. Hearing a content sigh, she looks to her right and sees Minuette looking at the front door with googly eyes. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah…” Minuette giggles. “Your brother’s cute!”
Twilight’s face blushes. “Minuette! He’s my brother!” Hearing an older feminine laugh. Twilight looks over her shoulder and sees Luna standing behind her. Her friends look at Luna, their eyes staring at the princess lifelessly. “What are you doing here?”
Luna smiles. “Just checking on you.”
“Oh…” Twilight’s younger form morphs into her current self. Her element appearing on her chest. Her surroundings and ‘friends’ dissolve as her dream world transforms into a white void. “Is Celestia worried about us?”
Luna walks up to the teen filly. “Yes.” She sits down next to Twilight. “So, I told her I’ll just check on you.” She smirks. “So, one of your friends likes your brother, mmm?”
Twilight blushes. “Well yeah… But I’m not sure she still does… I plan on visiting them tomorrow morning, however.” She laughs. “So, I’ll let you know if she still does.”
Luna smiles. “So how has your first day being back home been?”
“Its been wonderful!” Twilight states with glee. “Oh! I’ve missed home. My mom made me, my favorite soup!” She smacks her lips, rubbing her belly. Her element glows. Twilight goes stiff for a moment as her element materializes from her chest.
“Let’s say she enjoyed it a lot.” Her element giggles leaning up against its bearer. Twilight blushes and looks away, staring at the white ground of the void.
Luna laughs. “Well I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.” Twilight’s smile fades. “What wrong?” Luna asks.
“I just thought my brother was still living at home.” Twilight huffs.
“Which base is he located in?” Luna asks.
“He’s just on the outskirts of Canterlot.” Twilight smiles once more. “So, he’s not too far.” She giggles. “I can’t wait to visit him tomorrow.”
“You going to make it a surprise?” Luna asks. Twilight nods. “So how are your parents? Before I forget to ask.”
“They’re good.” Twilight hums. “They’re ecstatic to see me.”
“But not me.” Her element chimes in as it floats around them. “I think they’re still apprehensive of me.” Its white crystalline mane and tail flapping in the nonexistent breeze of the void.
“No, they’re not.” Twilight huffs.
“Of course, they are. Didn’t you see their faces when they looked at your chest?” Her element sighs. “They still can’t picture you as a bearer of the elements.”
“They’ll adjust to you being a part of her, element.” Luna reassures, watching the element float around them. The element sighs, agreeing with her. Her body flickering in and out of being.
“Luna?”
“Mmm?” Luna looks at Twilight.
“If you want to make your task easier, why not combine all of our dream voids together.” Twilight nods with a smile. “Like you’ve done before.”
Luna smirks. “That does sound like I good idea.” She activates her horn. Five spherical mass of magical energy surrounds them. They pulse and shimmer for several seconds before dispersing into dust, revealing Twilight’s fellow element bearers.
“Hey!” Pinkie whines. “I was having the best dream ever!”
“Was it about a mountain made out of different flavors of ice cream?” Applejack asks, giving the pink teen filly a knowing smirk.
Pinkie is silent as she tries to come up with a rebuttal. “Uh…” Her mouth hangs agape. “Yes…” She sighs in defeat. “But this time it was with whip cream and cherries!” She giggles. “And my sisters were there!”
Ignoring Applejack’s and Pinkie’s banter, Rarity walks up to Luna, Twilight and Twilight’s element. “Why did you summon us?”
Celestia is worried about you.” Luna states with a smile. “So, I’m making the rounds.
“When is she not?” Rarity’s element states as it manifests next to her. Its purple hued crystalline body shimmering in the void’s light.
Luna looks at the element of Generosity with a dull expression. “You know how she is.”
“I know.” The element of Generosity sighs dramatically. “But one day it’s going to cause her to have a heart attack.” It puts a hoof on its chest.
Applejack and her element walk up to the princess. “You can tell her that we’re fine.” She giggles. “Shoot if she wants to hear how we are I have a story to tell her.”
Luna smiles. “Tell me.” Her horn activates. “I’ll record it for her.” She looks all the element bearers. “How about all of you say something interesting that happened on your first day back.”
Applejack nods. “I guess I’ll go first.” Her and her element sits down with the others. “Well, after mah family and I hugged it out. We sat down and had some apple pie and hot cider as we spent the time to catch up.” She sighs remembering the moment. “Ha!” She laughs. “I told them about the time when Rainbow Dash, Pinkie and myself pranked you on your birthday!” She giggles.
“Oh yeah!” Pinkie snickers. “I remember that!”
Rainbow Dash and her element fall on their backs, laughing. “That was the best!”
Luna rolls her eyes. “Yes… How could I have forgotten about that…” She remembers her dark chocolate cake exploding in her face. “You fillies were hysterical…” she huffs. Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity hold hooves to their lips. “Pinkie?” How was your first day?”
Pinkie settles down as she ponders her question. “Well, it was… Great!” She giggles. “Well when I got home, I was hungry, so my mother made lunch for my sisters and I. After we ate, I showed them some magic spells we were taught. Then they told me what happened in the six years since I’ve been gone. The I told them what happened. Then we went and got ice cream. Talked to some of the towns folk and then we sat around the fireplace, listening to Pa read the newspaper.” She finally takes a breath.
The element of Joy looks at its bearer with wide eyes, amazed by the speed at which she talked.
“You seen her talk that fast before.” The element of Kindness states with a smirk.
“I know, but it still amazes me.” The element of Joy stammers.
Luna chuckles as she eyes the element of Joy. “That’s quite a summary Pinkie... Rarity?”
Rarity smiles. “Well, when I first arrived my baby sister Sweetie Belle was afraid of me.”
“Really?” Applejack tilts her head.
“Yes, Applejack… But she soon warmed up and we had a wonderful evening as we sat around the table, having tea and cookies.” Rarity hums. “She was so excited to tell me about her school and your sister.” She points at Applejack.
Applejack smirks. “They’re best friends.” She looks at Luna.
Luna smiles. “Fluttershy?”
Fluttershy hums. “Well, nothing much happened… We just sat around the radio and listened to one of our favorite radio shows while we drank some hot chocolate.”
Luna smiles. “Rainbow Dash?”
Rainbow Dash looks at her element. Her element nods, its red crystalline body shimmering. “Um, so I have a sister.” Her friends and their elements stare at her in shock. Even Luna raises her brow. Silence falls over the group. “Uh… Fillies?”
“I think you broke them.” The element of Loyalty states, leaning in closer to its bearer.
Pinkie inhales dramatically. “THAT’S SO AWSOME!” She shouts, before squeezing the air form Rainbow Dash’s lungs.
“Pinkie… Can’t… Breathe…” Rainbow Dash wheezes.
“Pinkie let her breathe.” Twilight commands, laughing all the while. Pinkie lets her go and looks at her friends sheepishly.
“What’s her name?” Fluttershy asks as she skips up to Rainbow Dash. Her element following her all the while. “How old is she?”
“Her name is Scootaloo.” Rainbow Dash flaps her wings. “And she’s five.”
“What does she look like?” Fluttershy giggles to herself. “Does she look like your mother or father?”
“Neither.” Rainbow Dash states flatly.
“She’s adopted?” Rarity ponders.
“Yes.” Rainbow Dash rubs the back of her neck.
“How are you taking it?” Luna asks.
“I… Uh…”
“She’s alright.” Her element speaks for her. “She still a little apprehensive, but I can feel that deep down inside, she’s excited to be Scootaloo’s big sister.” The element of Loyalty looks back at its bearer with a smirk. Rainbow Dash blushes and looks away.
“Oh, Rainbow Dash, you shouldn’t be embarrassed, you should be happy.” Fluttershy coos. She sees tears are forming around her eyes. “Dash?” She places a hoof under her chin and lifts her head.
“I’m worried that I won’t be a good sister!” Rainbow Dash moans. “I don’t know where to begin!”
Twilight giggles as she walks up to her friend. “You have us to help you.” She states with a smile.
Rainbow Dash looks at her friends and sees them nodding.
“Shoot!” Applejack hoots. “I know my sister would like another friend.” She hangs her arm over Rainbow Dash’s shoulder. Her element does the same to Rainbow Dash’s. The element of Loyalty looks at the element of Honesty with an unamused expression. “Her and Sweetie Belle will help her get through the days when were gone, saving the day.”
Rainbow Dash’s lips slowly turns into a smile. “Thanks.”
“Hey fillies?!” Pinkie shouts, trying to get her friends’ attention.
“Yes Pinkie?” Twilight acknowledges.
“Since we’re all together, I want to run something by you, I just thought of!” Pinkie hums, rocking side to side on her flank.
Her friends look and her with raised brows. “Uh, tell us.” Twilight huffs.
“We should get our families together and have a huge picnic!” Pinkie smiles wide.
Her friends murmur, thinking to themselves.
“That sounds like a great idea!” Applejack claps her hooves. “Ooh! We should have it at mah place! We have a barn we can use to accommodate every-pony.”
As the fillies converse with one another, Luna activates her horn. ‘Elements, when they’re done, send them to their own dream realms.’ The elements nod, letting her know they understand. Smiling at the element bearers, she opens a portal and enters.
Arriving back to The Realm of Dreams, Luna takes a long sigh as she stretches her neck. “I have a long night a head of me…” Materializing a pocket watch, she looks at the time. “One o’clock in the morning! I’m cutting it close!” She calls several doors to appear before her. With a grunt she goes through one of them.
“What are these called?” Fluttershy asks.
Celestia looks down at the young pegasus filly and smiles. “They're lilacs.”
Fluttershy smells the flowers. “They smell pretty!”
Celestia smiles as she looks at the others. She sees Applejack and Rainbow Dash playing with the wispy branches of a willow tree by the pond’s edge. Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie are standing by the stream connected to the pond as they eye a frog sitting on a lily-pad. With a content sigh. She closes her eyes and takes a long breath. “Come fillies, we must head inside.” She sits in silence. She feels uncomfortable as the silence lingers. “Fillies?” She opens her eyes.
She finds herself in the center of a massive courtyard. A dense fog roams the landscape. A chill runs down her spine as a humid breeze washes over her and the surrounding landscape. “Fillies?” Celestia takes several steps forward. “Little… Ones…?” Her eyes are drawn to two lights in the distance. One red and the other white. “What?” She looks around, her heartrate increasing. Curious, she moves closer to the lights.
Nearing the lights, she can hear a feminine voice, sobbing. “What did we do wrong?” The voice exclaims. “We did nothing wrong!” Celestia hears a masculine voice growl. “Then, why! Why is this happening!” The feminine voice wails.
Closing the distance, Celestia sees the lights are attached to, two figures standing in the fog. Taking the final steps, the figures’ features come into focus. The white light is attached to a unicorn mare with light grey fur. Her green mane lays flat in the back and her bangs cover her eyes. Her green tail is long and thin. Her bright green eyes scream in agony as they look up at Celestia. The red light is attached to a pegasus stallion with silver-grey fur. His white mane and tail are short and wavy. His yellow eyes look at Celestia in shame.
“Clover?!” Celestia feels her heart skip a beat. “Axiom?!”
Clover crawls up to Celestia. “Please!” She cries. “What have I done wrong?!” Celestia sees her element’s glow flickering haphazardly.
“She doesn’t know!” Axiom hisses. Pounding his hoof against the limestone floor of the courtyard.
“She has to, AXIOM!” Clover spits. “She has to save…” Clover slowly turns to stone. Axiom stares at her in fear as he turns to stone as well.
Celestia trembles as she looks at her surroundings. “No…” She moans. “This nightmare must…”
“Mom!” Celestia feels her throat tighten as she hears the voice of a young colt. “Dad!” Celestia watches in horror as the stone statues of Clover and Axiom fade into dust. “Where are you?” She sees a small figure step out of the fog. The colt walks up to Celestia and stands before her. He’s a unicorn. His light-green mane and tail is wild and unkept. His white-grey fur blends in with the fog. “Hi!” The colt smiles.
Celestia stares into the colt’s yellow-green eyes. The colt stares right back. ‘No…’ Celestia cries in her mind as she sees the colt’s chest glowing white and red.
“What’s the matter?” The colt asks. Celestia tries to speak, but she feels like hooves are choking her neck. Her legs feel like they're supporting several tons. The colt tilts his head. “Can’t speak?” The colt smiles menacingly. Celestia sees his eyes light up white with red wispy light pooling along their outline. “I tried to make you understand!” The colt spits, his tone sounding cruel, yet defeated all at the same time.
Feeling a surge of courage work its way to the surface, she glares at the colt and grits her teeth. “I have always understood!” Tears begin to pool around her eyes.
The colt scampers back from her tone, “You never have!” The colt growls, regaining his composure. “I found out the truth!” The colt cries. “I found our path to salvation!”
“You were fed lies!” Celestia steps forward, stomping her hoof. The colt doesn’t flinch. Celestia steps back, her eyes growing wide with fear.
“They weren’t lies! He taught me everything! He showed me our future! Our evolution!” The colt shouts. A hot wave of energy pushes Celestia back, sending her tumbling across the ground. “Our salvation!” The colt deforms into a black mass. Its eyes appearing as white orbs, glaring at Celestia with reckless abandon. The courtyard shatters sending her flying into the air. “I’ll make you see!” The mass lunges upward, ingulfing Celestia.
“AH!” Celestia screams as she throws herself out of her bed. She crashes onto the floor. Her eyes look around, dazed and full of pain. Her limbs flail about. Her voice gurgles out as she chokes for air.
Spike wakes with a fright. “UH!” He looks around and sees Celestia writhing on the floor. “Princess!” He panics. Getting out of his bed, he runs over to his bag and rummages through one of the pouches. Pulling out a small black marble, he holds it out in front of him and blows hot green flames over it. The marble crackles and pops before vanishing in a cloud of smoke.
Not even five seconds after Spike used his magic, Luna and Terren teleport into Celestia’s chambers. “What’s the matter Spike… CELESTIA!” Terren shouts as he sees his sister seizing on the floor. He and Luna rush to her side.
“What’s wrong with her?” Spike cries.
Luna looks back at the small dragon and walks up to him. “Terren will help her.” She coos. Looking back at her brother, she sees that he’s holding Celestia’s limbs in his magic.
Standing over her, Terren stares into her eyes. He glares into her soul. Searching for the cause of her distress. Seeing a flash of darkness. Terren growls, calling another spell. “Leave her apparition!” He casts the spell, sending a beam of magic into Celestia. Her body goes stiff as her eyes and mouth open wide. Soon her body goes limp. “Sister?” Terren drops his magical restrains and gently lifts her head. He sees her eyes trembling.
“B-Brother?” Celestia mumbles as she shakes in fear.
Terren sighs. “I’m here...!” He sees a black tar like substance ooze out her eyes and mouth and pool on the floor around her head. He and Luna watch in horror as the blob of black goo slivers across the carpet floor towards the door. “Call the castle staff, I’m following it!” He growls.
Luna nods as she walks up to her sister, with Spike in her arms. “Oh, Tia…” She coos. “I’m sorry I didn’t since your distress.” She activates her horn.
“Luna?” Celestia chokes.
“Yes sister?”
“He… He… He’s back…” She cries. “He’s back!”
Terren follows the black tar creature as it jumps around madly. ‘Where are you going?’ He sees it crawl out one of the windows. With a grunt he teleports out of the hall. Teleporting in the air, he hovers over the garden courtyard searching for the blob. Seeing the creature crawling down the wall of the castle, he smirks, flying down to it.
Landing on the ground, the creature hisses in response. Terren raises his brow. “You’re upset that I’m still following you?” He asks. The blob hisses more as it contorts into itself. Its thin wispy tentacles smacking the ground as it moves away from the prince. “What’s the matter? You’re scared?” Terren laughs. The creature gives a hiss coated in panic. Terren chuckles, his smile leaves however as he sees its trajectory is aimed at the Chambers of the Elements. ‘So, you think you’ll find sanctuary there?’
Terren and the black-blob enter the chambers. He watches it scamper across the marble floor. To his surprise it stops in front of front facing statues. Looking at the statues, he sees that they are the ponies who bore the elements of Loyalty and Magic. Looking down at the creature he frowns. “What are you?!” The creature hisses back. “All you do is hiss! Speak with words!” The creature screams and rushes for the second chamber. "Where are you going?"
Running into the chamber he sees the black-blob slivering on top of the chest that once held the elements. Its hissing and screaming fills the air, as it tries to break the chest. “They’re gone creature!” The blob’s wispy tentacles snap back at him. Stepping back, Terren smirks at the creature. “You’re not a smart one, are you?” The creature screams. Bored of the creature’s antics, Terren activates his horn. “So long you foul creature!” He fires a searing hot beam of plasma. The creature wails in agony as it turns into dust.
Ending his spell, Terren scans his surroundings, searching for any remnants of the creature. Not seeing or sensing anything, Terren lets out a sigh. Activating his horn, he teleports to his sisters.
“How is she?” Luna asks the doctor monitoring Celestia.
“She is fine. But she lost a lot of fluids and sprained several muscles during her seizure.” The doctor sighs. “She needs rest. In the morning when she’s wakes we’ll check to see if she’s improving.” The doctor bows for the royals before leaving.
Alone, Luna walks up to her brother. “Are you alright?” He doesn’t respond. “Terren!”
Terren looks at Luna. “Sorry… Just been thinking.”
“About what she said?” Luna looks at her sister with worry.
“Yes…” Terren huffs. “I told her not to worry about the past.” He growls. “I let her get naïve!”
Luna frowns. “Terren this isn’t your fault!” She punches the tiled floor with her hoof. “Let’s not play the blame game!”
“Yes… I agree with Lulu!”
Luna and Terren see Discord’s floating head hovering over Celestia. “Discord?” Terren growls.
Discord looks at the irate price. “You think I take joy in this?!” Discord fully materializes. “I take pleasure in harmless pranks! If ponies cry from them, so be it! But this! I do not like seeing one of my old friends in such a state!” He looks at the royals, frowning all the while.
Luna nods her head. “My brother didn’t mean it.” Luna pats her brother on his shoulder. “You know how protective he is of his sisters.” Luna smiles at the two.
Terren softens his expression. “Sorry Discord.”
“Whatever…” Discord waves his talion. Looking back at Celestia, his sour face morphs into a solemn expression. “Will she be alright?”
“Yes.” Terren states. “But, I’m more worried about the creature I killed.”
“But you killed it!” Luna groans. “Why are you worried about it?”
Terren looks at his sister with a scowl. “Because it was pure dark mana!” He huffs. “I doubt it will be the last! I’m sure there will be another one like it!”
Luna sighs. “We’ll keep the guards on high alert.”
“I’ll keep a look out as well.” Discord states as he looks down at Celestia. “You two get some sleep, I’ll keep an eye on her.” Luna and Terren are hesitant, but they eventually give in and bow their heads in thanks.
In a dark corner in the back room of the Chambers of the Elements. A small quarter sized speck of black ooze vibrates as it slowly moves across the ground.
