The symbols of Anarchy

"He was a great pony, even if he wasn't a pony," Fluttershy said as tears escaped her eyes. It was terrifying to speak in front of such a big crowd of ponies, it was like she was judged for a crime she didn't committed. But for Discord, she would do it, for him she would do anything, "He always-" Fluttershy closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears, "-Always showed me the funny side of life." The yellow mare's eyes failed her, the tears like an unstoppable storm, came out. Rainbow Dash came to comfort her grief friend as Princess Celestia came to say final words.

"Thank you Fluttershy," Princess Celestia said as five guards carried a long brown coffin towards the crowd of ponies, all dressed in black. As the ponies moved aside to let the guards lead the dead for his rest, a rain of tears began, no dry eye was left at the crowd. "Goodbye Discord," Celestia sighed in sorrow as the guards laid the coffin down the hole and they covered it under the green.

"Thank you all for coming," Twilight said, "We will continue the mourning at the castle." The crowd followed the main 6 as they went to the castle. All except the children. The children just stood in front of the Everfree forest. They were fascinated by the forest, it was like the forest call for them and they could not resist.

"What's the matter sugarcube?" Applejack asked her sister, but she didn't answer, she just stood in front of the forest. When Applejack looked into the forest she saw somepony out there. As Applejack looked closer she saw it wasn't a pony but a Kirin. The Kirin sang something but Applejack could not understand it. The kirin was too far for the mare to hear, but the children heard well what the kirin said. The children, as if they had a hive mind, walked at the same time after the kirin. The little fillies and colts disappeared into the forest, living Applejack all alone.

Usually, Applejack would call her friends before she would enter the Everfree forest. But this it was different, with all the psychopaths now, free. Applejack walked inside the dark and dreadful forest, with one goal in her mind: Find the children and take them home unharmed. The forest was quiet today, usually, there would be some glowing eyes looking at her, waiting to attack. But today, nothing, the birds didn't sing, the Timberwolves didn't howl and the Manticore didn't roar. Only trees and flowers, wherever Applejack turned she saw flowers and trees. After a while of walking and running inside the maze of mother nature, Applejack heard a mare singing.

Come, little children,
I'll take thee away,
into a land of enchantment.
Come little children,
the time's come to play,
here in my garden of shadows.

"The Kirin," Appleajack said to herself as she ran towards the voice. With every step Applejack took, the song became louder and louder.

Follow sweet children,
I'll show thee the way,
through all the pain and the sorrow.
Weep not, dear children
for life is this way,
murdering beauty with passion.

Applejack felt weird, the song got into her mind. It was like a drill was trying to break into her mind. Applejack shook her head, "Focus Applejack, focus. Applebloom needs me!" The mention of her sister helped the mare to regain her strength. Applejack ran as fast as she could, she ran and passes the trees and the flowers, not noticing that the flowers followed her movement. Finally, Applejack found the Kirin who kidnapped her sister and the other children. The Kirin had a red mane and her body was fully green, she wore a crown made of leaves and her eyes were red. The Kirin was leaning on a giant vine as the children were in cacoons, sleeping or worse.

"You shouldn't have followed me," The Kirin sighed as a vine curved over Applejack's body. Applejack tried to resist but it was no use. The vine took the mare to its master.

"Who are you?" Applejack asked as she struggled to breathe. The Kirin smiled and she blew a cloud of red dust from her hoof. Applejack fell to the ground unconscious. The Kirin went down from the vine and she walked into the forest as other vines grew out of the ground, taking the children with them.
