The Fallen Elements: Kindness

The night was rising that day over Ponyville, a place that although it was extremely pleasant and full of vitality thanks to the fact that all its inhabitants gave the best of them, it could not always enjoy this tranquility. The elements of harmony had been involved in countless adventures that in one way or another always ended up involving that pleasant place, this was not really important for the inhabitants of the place, because in the end Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends ended up raising the victory card and with this, filling everyone around them with pride. At least that's what they believed, because the elements of harmony were always on their side, weren't they? That powerful magic that had not only managed to dominate Twilight and thus become an alicorn, but at the same time save Equestria countless times thanks to this magic and her friends, individual bearers of these elements and that by uniting them there was no rival at all for them. Many were those who tried to make a crusade of evil, but all were defeated in the end thanks to this great power, one that filled not only everyone in ponyville, but also the rest of Equestria with tranquility and gratitude.

However, that was definitely in the past, not even Twilight could understand in time what was happening until it was too late, the elements of harmony were as powerful as the bonds that their bearers had between them, but at the same time they had a great and dark side that had not been seen, one that could create more chaos than any other enemy. No one would imagine that if the carrier managed to corrupt and give in to the presence of darkness, the carrier element would be corrupted in the same way, giving an unparalleled power and clearly appetizing to anyone who managed to stay long enough to be influenced, at least that is the theory that is held so far, because how such a gentle and kind pony would succumb if it were not so? As already mentioned, no one managed to realize this in time, it was too late when they decided to act and the princess of friendship herself had to retreat before the great power that was rising before her and all of Equestria, one that would undoubtedly change the course of things completely.

As usual now, you have to take a great look at ponyville, the place where it all began, a place which is no longer as it used to be, as the everfree forest managed to swallow most of the place, leaving few houses standing, not even the great and imposing castle of princess Twilight could be seen thanks to the large amount of trees and vegetation that was there, It was completely lost and soon the rest of the town would be lost, although of course she would not be satisfied with just Ponyville, she certainly would not be satisfied with just that tiny part of the vast territory called Equestria. In spite of all this, and despite the fact that the outlook was discouraging, that silent night was being interrupted thanks to the trotting that could be heard among the branches and the vegetation.

It was a pony, one that was wearing a completely black suit, perfect to be able to walk through the dark place without arousing suspicion, of course this type of strategy did not always work out well, the speed at which the unfortunate pony was running gave a clear idea of what was happening at that moment, his breathing was agitated, his steps, although nervous, completely firm and unwilling to give in. At his back a large number of footsteps were accumulating, it was no surprise that the Timberwolves were the first to capture intruders within their territory, these same ones were responsible for capturing and eliminating anyone who dared to enter those dangerous domains of corruption in its purest state.

Those dangerous beasts were about to reach their target, something that was not a surprise considering that at the time they were the first to claim the first victims, those who did the dirty work without even thinking twice. So why was that pony smiling under his clothes? It wasn't until he was close enough to the safe area (the one where fortunately the corruption of the forest had not yet reached) that a powerful glow illuminated the area where the chase was taking place, leaving the attackers confused for a moment and then in the blink of an eye, several rays of magic destroyed the beasts, although not for long. It was no secret to anyone that the Timberwolves could regenerate without major problems, but as it happened it certainly left enough margin to be able to have a chance to escape safely.

"That was close... It's always a pleasure working with you Twilight! Although for the next one, it would be much better if you didn't take so long to act in these cases, don't you think?" mentioned the pony that was running just a few moments ago, removing the hood that covered her head to expose a rainbow-colored mane. Rainbow Dash could finally breathe a little calmer and stretch briefly, navigating aimlessly in the forest was always difficult, especially when there were so many dangerous enemies lurking in every dark corner of that place. "It's a miracle those things don't dare to leave their forest, isn't it? In the end they are not so fast..." The pony finished saying, looking back and seeing how those beasts that had been eliminated rejoined, but as she had mentioned, they retreated until the darkness of the forest hid them completely, they had never gone out to the safe areas, a great relief for many.

"I'm sorry I'm late Rainbow, you weren't supposed to go exploring so much, remember?" The princess of friendship herself answered, looking at the pony in front of her who was soon walking beside her. "I know that every day that passes is difficult for you, it is for all of us... but we have to be careful," Twilight explained to her friend, she could not blame the pony, it had been almost a month and they had not been able to find a complete explanation to what was happening to her friend, why she was doing that was unknown to them, but certainly they had to stop it soon before the situation worsened. It didn't take long for both ponies to reach the Apple farm, one of the structures they had managed to save and one that was large enough to support all those ponies that had been saved when the attack of the Everfree forest began, food and water was enough in the place and fortunately thanks to this not everything were lost.

"I'm glad you're here at last! You two should be more considerate and not make us wait too long... How did it go?" asked Applejack as soon as she managed to identify her friends from a distance, her face showed a clear concern, not only for the situation in general, but also because she was aware that entering that territory was dangerous, so much to know her friends wouldn't come back in the worst case scenario. "Not to discourage either of you two, but I am sure that more than one of us could use at least some good news at this time," The pony was not lying at all, the mood inside the farm was beginning to decline rapidly, it had not been easy to accept a new lifestyle and much less to accept that someone so close had been responsible for that same terrible change that they had to accept by force.

Hearing those words only caused both Rainbow and Twilight to exchange glances, both a bit nervous and although they wished they could give a positive answer, they could only respond with such a heavy silence that their friend understood without even hearing a single word. The element of honesty lowered her eyes for a moment, it had been a bad move to say that so suddenly, now she felt guilty of making her friends end up with a worse taste in their mouths than they already had at that moment, she only took her time to move the earth under her hooves, as if that was enough to break the abrupt silence she had created by saying that.

However, Twilight would not stay the same way, the princess approached calmly, with a smile on her face and calmly placed one of her hooves on her companion's back. "It's only a matter of time Applejack, not everything are lost... Rainbow managed to advance much further into the forest than any of us in the last week, that's good news if you ask me!" It was her job to keep spirits as high as possible, with one less element it was a complete priority to keep all her friends together or else the work she would have to endure would increase exponentially. This was not an excuse to say that, in truth it was a great move that the pegasus would make it this far before retreating, it meant that they would soon be able to discover new paths and shortcuts to move forward.

"Yes, I know! It's wonderful but... I don't know, I just would have liked to know if you had found something else... some reason," The pony mentioned, taking her hat with one of her hooves and removing it for a moment from her head, she wasn't entirely sure if this was really good news or just a pretext very well camouflaged as good news, but at least this was enough to clear her throat and deny a couple of times, more for herself really. "Well, don't worry, I'm sure you're hungry, spending too much time in that place is definitely not good for anyone! You should go inside, we're about to serve the day's portions" Applejack finished saying, recovering her spirits for a moment and letting her two friends go ahead for her to walk behind, the advantage they had by having saved the farm was that the supplies were plenty, although of course, most of them were starting to find the diet of only apples monotonous.

Even though everything was completely wrong, both Twilight and all those who had managed to survive the sudden expansion of the forest managed to find an almost perfect balance so that they didn't have to suffer too much. Both Twilight and Rainbow Dash, after exploring around the forest area, were finally able to relax as they should, with a plate of food and in the company of all those who, like them, did not stop fighting for a day with the sole purpose of finding more information, a much better explanation than the one they already had of what had happened to their beloved friend, because clearly all the disaster that had happened was caused by her, the one who had previously been known as the element of kindness, now she had been responsible for the whole everfree forest being out of control and not only that, but she had also declared a war against her own friends, something that no one, even the highest ranking princesses of Equestria, Luna and Celestia could find a coherent explanation for, the only thing that remained in those moments was that the forest would continue in a state of calm, one that managed to give them enough time to understand.

Who would have thought that Fluttershy would succumb to such darkness. The cause? It was still unknown, it had not acted on its own, that was clear to Twilight, she knew there must be something else, an entity that had so much power to seduce to the point of breaking such a powerful element as her friend was, it was only a matter of time to discover a true cause, However, for the moment, she had nothing left but to accept the reality in which she found herself at that moment, one in which she was completely surrounded by a complete darkness product of that forest that was being fed by an energy as powerful as a corrupted element, black magic in other words. For the moment the only thing she could do was to go ahead and recharge her energies accepting what the Apple family had prepared at that moment to eat, after all the situation was not completely lost, she had great confidence that she would manage to solve this problem as she had always managed to do before.

Author's Note

Hello everypony! I'm happy to come into this community and start my first day posting my first work! I have a few notes to make.

First, I never seen more than fifth season of the show (Maybe a couple episodes from the next season?) So my story won't take all the events, characters and locations from the latest seasons, I don't find them important since we're in an alternate universe as you can already tell <33.

Second, I'll try my best to upload as soon as I can the next episodes, who are actually in spanish (That's my first language) and I just have to translate them, I still have so much to learn so bear with me please <33.

And that's all for the moment! See you in the next chapter :]
