The Sacrifice

Princess Luna covered her eyes from the dust and shadow that enveloped the entire room. As the room dissipated she realized that the sacrifice was taken from the altar. She stood up from the floor and waved her guards to her. The royal guards came to her and she spoke.

"Find the sacrifice or else were all doomed, for now we must satiate the eternal one below us or he will rise." ordered Luna.

"Mephilos and Darian track the traitor who stole the sacrifice" she said towards two of the royal guard.

The two chosen royal guard picked by Luna herself flew off from the pavilion and tracked the pony that took the sacrifice from the altar by flying towards the direction he went. Celestia had disapeared from the pavilion so Luna had to greet the ponys for another sacrifice. Luna went outside of the pavilion and saw the many confused faces of the pony inhabiting the spacious area surrounding the pavilion.

"Pony of Equestria, Applebloom has been abducted and has been taken by an unknown assailant." screamed Luna in a canterlot voice.

The ponys gasped, spoke amongs't another, and naturally frowned on the fact. Applejack was even more surprised by this occurence and walked past all the ponys and stepped on the steps to get towards Luna.

"What? ma'h sister is gone?" said Applejack towards Luna.

"Yes your sister was abducted by an unknown pegasus and he is now bieng pursuited as we speak." said Luna towards Applejack.

"Will she be alright?" said Applejack with a worried face.

"I doubt she will be hurt but, first she must be found" said Princess Luna

"Well darn tutin I'll look for her" said Applejack

"The trip will be perilous and dangerous, and who knows what will happen are you sure Applejack?" said Princess Luna.

"I'm sure she is my baby sister and all" said Applejack.

"You will not go it alone Applejack!" said Twilight Sparkle as she emerged from the crowd.

"We will accompany you on your mission!" said Rarity as she emerged from the crowd along with the rest of the mane six.

"Yah were not going to let some meanie kidnapper get away with your sister!" said Pinkie Pie.

"We'll get em I swear on it!" said Rainbow Dash.

"Oh and we will throttle them... too... I guess..." said Fluttershy.

"Aww thanks guys I always can count on you girls to help me out!" said Applejack towards the other five.

"Then it is settled, you will need to go with one of my guard, he is an expert tracker" said Princess Luna.

"His name is Diabelos and he will help you all find Applebloom, make sure to bring her back for the prize..." continued Princess Luna

"Of course Princess Luna we will get back Applebloom!" said Twilight Sparkle.

"Diabelos come hither!" said Princess Luna

In came Diabelos of the royal guard who was also a earth pony, he wore the royal guard armor as usual but, had a scar across his face showing he had experience in battle. He was rather old yet, strong of leg and body. He came to Princess Luna and bowed his head.

"My princess did you summon me?" said Diabelos.

"Yes I need you to accompany them and to help them find Applebloom." said Princess Luna.

"But princess we already have a team tracking her as we speak" said Diabelos towards Luna.

"Do not question me, we need all the help we can get before the eternal one rises from the earth!" whispered Princess Luna.

"Of course then we must move fast then, before they escape, come the six of you we must move quickly towards... this direction." said Diabelos towards the mane six.

"Pegasi, take to the skies and supervise the land." said Diabelos towards Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

"Yes sir." said the two.

"Unicorns, do a tracking spell to see where the abductor went." said Diabelos towards Twilight Sparkle and Rarity.

"Um I don't really do Tracking spells and such..." said Rarity.

"Well what do you do you are a Unicorn are you not?" said Diabelos.

"Well I am more into dresses and such... but, Twilight Sparkle can do that!" said Rarity.

"I'm already on it" said Twilight.

"Well okay... Rarity and you two earth ponies with me!" said Diabelos.

"Okay!" said Pinkie Pie.

"I hope we find my sister soon enough..." said Applejack.

The six horses followed Diabeloses lead and sped towards the direction were the abductor went. All that was left was to satiate the sacrifice for now. Princess Luna came towards the crowd of ponies and said "Who would like to hold the prize until Applebloom gets here?".

One pony came up from the crowd and it was Diamond Tiara.

"I want to see it!" said Diamond Tiara towards Luna.

Diamond Tiara and Luna went into the pavilion and Diamond Tiara saw the altar.

"Alright just put your head right there and you will claim your prize okay?" said Princess Luna

"Okay" said Diamond Tiara as she put her head on the altar.

Without hesitation the executioner came in from behind cover and slashed off Diamond Tiara's head off before she could react. The blood that came off of Diamond Tiara came through the altar and slowly dripped down towards the earth.

"That should suffice until the true sacrifice returns" said Princess Luna.

"Now we must prepare the forget spell to erase from everyone's mind the memory of Diamond Tiara." said Princess Luna to her remaining guards.

The unicorn's of the guard began the spell, a bright energy emanated from the pavilion and spread all over the outside. Many ponies were blinded by this occurence and became dazed by the bright light that hit their eyes. And so Diamond Tiara was forgotten from their memories forever. After the bright light faded out, Princess Luna again came out to greet the denizens of ponyville.

"Pony of Equestria, we are going to announce the winner of the grand prize!" said Princess Luna towards them all.
