Twilight: The Elemental Empress

“Why?” Asked Twilight to herself, very angry. “They cared more about somepony they never met than their best friend.”

She was in one of the rooms in the castle looking out at the barrier surrounding Canterlot.

“They said that they would be better friends after the want it, need it spell. But it turns out that they lied. They don’t care about me, or what I’m feeling. All that matters to them is the wedding.”

Then she suddenly heard something.

”Twilight”

She jerked herself around when she heard the sound.

“Who’s there?” She asked. No answer.

“Okay, it probably was just my imagination.” She said to herself, continuing to look out the window.

But she heard it again, this time louder. ”Twilight, come find us.”

“Who are you?” She asked the strange voice.

She got a response, but this time it was even louder and clearer.

”We will not reveal anything about us at this moment. Come find us, and everything will be explained.”

“But I don’t even know where you are.” Replied Twilight.

The voice began to slowly get quieter. Do not worry, for we will lead you to us.

It soon was as quiet as when Twilight first heard it.

Come find us.

Twilight, feeling the direction that she should go, teleports to the Whitetail woods.

Meanwhile, everypony else was preparing for the wedding, not even paying attention to the fact that the guards had just informed them that Twilight left the castle.

Twilight was now standing in front of the entrance to the Whitetail woods.

“Well, this is where I’m supposed to go.” She said to herself.

She walked into the forest. Passing the large amount of trees, she found a small pond. She went to drink from it when a water tentacle rose out of the middle of the pond.

Twilight got a little afraid of the tentacle, and the tentacle sensed this. The water morphed into a flag and began waving it, as if to say that it came in peace.

Twilight calmed down and asked the water tentacle, “Um, I’m looking for a temple or something. Do you know where it is?”

The tentacle moved up and down, clearly saying “Yes.”

“Where is it?”

The tentacle morphed into an arrow pointing northeast.

“Northeast?” Replied Twilight, getting another nod from the water. “Thanks, water tentacle.”

As Twilight began walking away, she looked back and saw the water, now in the form of a outstretched hoof, waving at her. She waved back at it, smiling. “Goodbye, I’ll see you again.”

Twilight continued walking in the direction of the temple for several dozen minutes before it came into view.

“This must be it.” She mumbled, stopping for a second.

“Hello?” Said Twilight.

”Hello, Twilight. We have been expecting you.”Said the same voice that she heard in the castle back in Canterlot.

“So, now that I’m here, I’ve got two questions.”

“What are your questions?” Said the voice, now just as loud as she was.

“Who are you?”

“I am the 24 elementals of the universe. Chaos, Earth, Air, Light, Fire, Water, Shadow, Metal, Sand, Nature, Sound, Gravity, Healing, Spirit, Crystal, Portal, Electricity, Energy, Ice, Blood, Poison, Dream, Time, and Galaxy. Now what is your second question?”

“Why did you want me? Why not choose somepony else?”

“Because Twilight, you are prophesied to become the Elemental Queen. The prophecy states that the pony with fur of purple and mark of the stars will become the Queen, the Elemental master. That is you, Twilight.”

“And what if I refused to become the Elemental Queen?”

“Then we will be stuck as the spirits of the elementals for the rest of time. But if you accept, you’ll gain more power than anything else that exists, and no amount of magic will be able to defeat you.”

“One more question.” Replied Twilight.

“Of course.”

“Does this power corrupt the wielder?”

“It does not. At least, not alone.”

“What does that mean?”

“The wielder of the elementals may have evil intentions, and may use our power for evil rather than good. Now I have a question for you.”

“W-what is it?”

“Do you have any evil intentions for our power?”

“No. I don’t.” Replied Twilight, “This is my home, and I don’t want it to be destroyed.”

“Good, Twilight. Now, do you accept our power?”

“I’ll need a few minutes to think about this.”

“Take all the time you need.”

Twilight turned around and laid down, thinking about what she should do.

If I do this, then I’ll be able to protect Equestria from any threats. And if I don’t, these spirits will be stuck as spirits for the rest of time. I need to do this.

“I’ve made my decision. I’ll become the Elemental Queen.”

“Very well. Now walk inside the temple onto the middle of the ring and we’ll do the rest.” Replied the spirits.

The door to the temple began to open. When it opened all the way, Twilight began walking inside. The torches on each side lit up, revealing the inside to be a large room with a giant circular stone table with symbols representing each elemental, and 24 statues behind each symbol with the same symbol as the ones on the table.

Twilight walked towards the center of the table, looking around at the inside of the table.

When stopped moving, the 24 symbols began glowing. The statutes released a different colored mist from them which began to swirl around Twilight. The mists slowly surrounded Twilight more and more until she was completely surrounded by them.

After 15 minutes, the mists began to enter Twilight, giving her their power. Purple wings with green and red swirling throughout each that grew into a darker purple as it grew closer to the tips. Her mane and tail grew 3 more strips. They were orange, blue, and green, and she looked like Celestia, except that her coat was now only half light purple, which faded into black with white dots on her upper body and head. Her eyes now looked like portals, and were electrified. Her horn was now crystallized with the top half a bloody red color and the bottom half was a sandy brown color.

“Interesting new appearance the powers gave me.”

“Of course. Now, it’ll take a while to fully master the powers we have given you. But now that I’m with you forever, I’ll help you to master them.”

“How long will it take?” Asked Twilight

“It should take 15 years at the most.”

“15 years?”

“Yes. If we could make it be less time, we would. But we can’t. I’m sorry.”

“Where will I be learning to master the elemental powers?” Asked Twilight

“There’s a secret place meant for that about 3,000 miles from here. But I have the power to teleport you there in a few seconds from here.”

“Okay, we’ll head there tomorrow.” Replied Twilight, “Goodnight, um, what should I call you?”

“Call me, Silent Spirit.”

“Okay, goodnight Silent.”

“Goodnight, Queen Twilight.” Replied Silent.
