Chapter 1: Summoned
Celestia's sun rose high in the clear blue sky above Equestria's western coastal region. Seagulls flew against the cool ocean breeze, the wind gently swaying past the trees and bushes on the coastline. Two unicorn mares along with their foals walked on the warm sandy beaches with one of the mares carrying a picnic basket, they reached their spot and began to rest by a large old log of driftwood. The two mares, one with an orange coat and white mane, and the other with a blue coat and yellow mane began to chat with each other regarding current events.
“I’m so glad that we got some time together, thanks for inviting me and my son graceful parchment,” the blue coated mare said smiling while helping her friend set the picnic.
“You’re welcome sunshine ladle, hydro elixir and I are glad to see you too and on a nice day too, it’s usually not sunny here” grace replied back hoping to drum up some conversation.
Sunsy shrugged “ it’s probably a new weather doctrine from Cloudsdale, you know how those feather heads are” her remark earned a chuckle from the other mare, regarding the weather factories supposed lack of coordination.
The chuckling of two colts caught the attention of the mares seeing them playing in the sand near the log of driftwood. One of the colts has a blue coat and brown mane, while the other has a green coat and blue mane. The two began to play wrestle while the mares chuckled from sharing a story. However the blue colt got a little mischievous and ended the fight when he suggested race to a hill twenty five yards away, and out of sight from their mothers.
“Dusk branch, hydro elixir, don't go too far, stay in our sight!” sunshine called out, seeing the two foals start to wander past the large piece of driftwood.
“We won't mama!” The green colt named dusk branch called back, though obviously lying, earning a worried glance from his friend.
“We should stay close, the tides might come in soon” hydro said with a hint of worry in his voice. His mother told him about the tides after visiting their cousins in Baltimare, he recalled many ponies drowning in what he remembers as ‘riptides’.
Dusk rolled his eyes “ come on, it's just one race from the driftwood to that hill-” he pointed to a sandy hill twenty five yards away “ - we’ll be finished before the tide rolls in and be back for lunch, so what do you say?”
Hydro elixir thought for a moment, he doesn't like to put himself in danger, but if it's just one race there should be no harm in it, or so he would think. He grinned “you're on”.
Once dusk drew a line in the sand starting at the driftwood, the hot headed colt grinned to his friend, “ first one to reach the hill wins, ready?-” hydro nodded, “ ok, on your mark, get set-” both colts dug their hoofs in concentrating on the hill ahead. Sweat dripped from their heads, the waves being drowned.
“-GO!”
The colts pushed themselves off from the sand kicking it up, galloping as fast as their little fore-legs can gallop, especially through sand which in turn proved difficult, they nevertheless kept pace with each other. Upon reaching the top of the hill hydro elixir caught his hoof on a buried branch of driftwood, tumbling down the opposite side of the hill the young colt banged his head on an unknown wooden object scaring away the seagulls that roosted there.
“HYDRO!” dusk branch shrieked upon seeing his friend tumble down and hit his head, rushing down himself, he stopped in front of him surveying the damage, all the while not noticing what his friend really hit.
“Are you okay Hydro, is anything broken?” dusk's heart raced in a state of panic upon seeing his friend injured or worse, but his panic subsided when groaning was heard in front of him.
“Ugh, my head” the young colt shook his head trying to rid the daze, remembering his friends panicked question he nodded, “yeah, I'm fine, just, just a bruise.”
Slowly getting with the help of his friend, Hydro began to dust himself off until he felt his hoof brush over something wet on the right flank. Curious he brought the blackish red liquid up to his muzzle and instantly regretted it, the liquid smelled of rotten iron, whipping it on his fur he felt another drip on his flank. Dusk himself wondered what the stuff was, he himself brushed a small amount off his friend's flank, but instead of sniffing it he liked it and too regretted it as the liquid began to burn his tongue.
He quickly spat out the liquid in disgust “ugh, what is this stuff?”
Hydro slowly looked up as another droplet fell on his flank worried of what he might see, and he should be, staring up he gawked in horror at a rotting body, the colts screaming at seeing it, not knowing the danger they’re in.
Meanwhile: Ponyville two hours later.
The Ponyville clock tower chimed at two in the afternoon, signaling the ponies in the town that it’s still lunch time, but also reminding it’s a little past noon and getting close to suppertime. In town, consisting mostly of earth ponies, with both pegasi and unicorns here and there, they chatted with friends and trotted to and from their destinations, happy to be living in a peaceful town.
In the near center of town stood the golden oaks library, the current home of the element of magic Twilight sparkle along with her number one assistant spike the dragon. The library, being currently closed, isn't technically vacant inside the library home one could hear snoring upstairs, to Twilight's view the home is in excellent condition. Upon further description her library itself has neat rows of books all alphabetized in their correct shelving order with the center of the room being decorated with a medium sized table adorned with a horse's head in the center. Up stairs resides Twilight’s personal living quarters, the main floor shelved her personal collection of books and a staircase leading up to a bed and basket.
Resting in the wicker basket laid the purple and green dragon spike twilight’s assistant, rolling on his back he stretched awake getting the kinks out from his muscles and joints. Sighing he rubbed his eyes getting the sleep out of them, sitting up he slowly got out of bed all the while stretching again to get any stray kinks. As he straightened his bed up he noticed a folded up note taped to his blanket, removing it he began to read;
‘ Dear spike.
I'll be having lunch with the girls today and won't be back for several hours. If you need anything we’ll be at the Ponyville café or at the spa.
Love Twilight sparkle.
P.s: don't worry about the mess from Pinkie Pie's party. I already cleaned it up.’
The dragon chuckled to himself remembering the party that replaced the lackluster party of the grand galloping gala yesterday, a slight headache began to show feeling the side effects of pinkie's party. Setting the note aside on a nearby end table, Spike walked down the stairs to a small hallway and turned right into the kitchen. However before grabbing something to eat -hurk- -belch-, smoke and flame materialized into a letter with a familiar seal holding it together, letting it fall into his hand in utter confusion. He looked at the letter trying to piece together the occasion or lesson Celestia had for twilight, but if memory serves there isn't one, grabbing an apple from a bowl on the counter he went down stairs to the main floor and exited the library.
Twilight sparkle a purple unicorn with a deeper purple and pink main with a star cutie mark sighed in relaxation while the masseuse sister lotus blossom, a cyan pony with a pink main with a lotus cutie mark gave the mare a hooficure. To the left Rarity a white unicorn mare with a purple mane with three diamond cutie mark, while on Twilights right is Fluttershy a buttercream pegasus with a lighter shade of pink mane with three butterflies for a cutie mark. Continuing on to Fluttershy's right is pinkie pie whose given name explains it, she is a pink pony with a pink bushy curly mane with three balloons for a cutie mark, across from the four mares in a large tub rested Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Rainbow dash is a cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow mane n’ tail, her cutie mark resembles a rainbow lightning bolt on her flank, Applejack an earth pony mare has an orange coat and blond main n’ tail her cutie mark resembles three red apples.
Rainbow dash sighed in relief her muscles relaxing in the hot spa water, the spa ponies putting in rainbows favored muscle relaxer to help ease her and Applejack’s muscles from a hard day's of apple bucking and cloud busting. “This was a good idea comin’ here Rarity” a relaxed Applejack said soothing further into the water below her chin, her Stetson hat and red hair ties on the ledge of the tub.
“Yeah, thanks for inviting us Rarity, the grand galloping gala was more stressful than relaxing” Twilight nodded, adding on to Applejack’s earlier agreement. After her friends got back to Ponyville, Pinkie Pie threw her friends a party at the library after finding out how boring the gala was, even though it was slightly entertaining in some portions. Rarity though was the most stressed out, mostly for her involvement with princess Celestia's nephew Prince Blue Blood, along with Fluttershy's escapades with the animals in and around the castle garden, albeit the gala was trashed when a stampede of animals barreled in.
“Pfft, think nothing of it ladies, we all needed this” the fashionista said, relaxing as her face began to get covered in a mud mask with two cucumbers covering her eyes.
Upon hearing Twilight's thankful reply Pinkie Pie added to her friend's thankful statement “ yeah thanks for this rarity, the gala was very boring and the unicorns there are such party poopers, uh no offense Twilight”. The pink pony stated, trying not to offend her friend.
The mare waved it off “none taken Pinkie, one of the other reasons why left for Ponyville was to get away from the Canterlot elite, save for the princess and my parents.”
Fluttershy looked over twilight and spoke to rarity adding to the conversation “speaking of which rarity, what happened to that unicorn you were with?” her question caught the attention of the rest of her friends, curious on how it ended.
Rarity raised her head, removing the cucumbers she explained “well other than the cake smashing into me, basically i told prince BlueBlood to...how to put it ( she bit her lip)... i told him to buck off”. Now thinking if she should have done that or not, all the while grew curious to what her friends thought. Her friends were quite surprised at this especially twilight, whose expression was to say the least quite worrisome and surprisingly glad for her. “Now that i think about it, i probably shouldn't have done that”.
Twilight bit her lip on what to say to her friend, thinking of her words he began to explain “Rarity, I'm glad that you showed up one of the most rude stallions in Canterlot by embarrassing him. However I'm also quite concerned that you made a mistake.”
The fashionista shrugged it off “pfft, please darling he had it coming to him”.
“Rarity…” Twilight spoke, nearly raising her voice “...this is no laughing matter, Prince BlueBlood has powerful friends, haven't you heard of the Quill family?... OUCH!”, the purple mare gave Lotus a light glare after she scraped the hoof-file on Twilight's flesh.
Lotus Blossom on the other hoof was more concerned about the Quill family that Twilight mentioned “ you mean the family that not only owns the canterlot designer, but have been under scrutiny for murder, along with other things?!” she asked with major worry for not only Rarity but the mares in the room. Twilight confirming to lotus with a nod.
Meanwhile in the hot tub Applejack rested her head on its wooded ledge, enjoying the soothing warm water relaxing her muscles from the harsh applebucking that transpired today. Across from her Rainbow dash too relaxed her muscles in the warm water, her head too rested on the other side of the tub, but soon raised it, eyeing her friend's relaxed form. The cyan mare gazed upon the farm mare's form, starting with the muscles around her forelegs, she worked her way down, envisioning the rest of her, especially the farm mare's hind legs and flanks. With applejack being half submerged in the water, Rainbow dash with just the thought of her friend in such a way flustered her greatly to the point her five foot wingspan became visible -POMfSH-. The sound of rainbow dash’s wingboner along with the water splashing from the arousal perked Applejack's suspicion to the sound, raising her head the farm mare cocked a brow at rainbows aroused look.
Applejack smirked and decided to poke a little fun to snap her friend out “ yall see something interesting’ RD?” The farm pony fiend ignorance with a question in her southern accent.
Snapping out of her active drive Rainbow Dash blinked a few times regaining her senses, looking towards AJ who in turn bears a sultry in her eyes, Rainbow Dash chuckled nervously her ears splayed back with her wings slowly receding back to normal.
She tried to think of something fast so as to not raise suspicion or make a scene “ i uh… just uh… wanted to know your first timber wolf encounter, you’ve obviously seen them more often than the rest of us?” her question mixed with both a truth and a lie, since Rainbow has pondered AJ’s first encounter, regarding the last attack weeks ago.
Rainbow’s hidden truth covered the lie, pondering Applejack tapped her fore hoof on her chin in thought, “ when ah was eleven, still a filly at the time, ah went over to Fluttershy’s to help her with her animals. Mind ya this was in the afternoon, so it’s quite uncommon, anyway when ah got there two timberwolves jumped us, one goin for Flutters an the other other or me, ah didn back down though…”
-ding-ding-
Ponyville's day spas bell rang signaling the spa ponies that a customer had entered, an earth pony stallion with a tan coat and light brown mane, his cutie mark resembling a rose thorn.
Walking behind the counter he greeted the customer, surprised to see the all too familiar green frill, “ ahh, missier spike…” the stallion spoke in a Prench accent “... what brings you here today?” he asked, smiling at the dragon.
The baby dragon spoke with urgency in his voice “ Broken thorn, i need to speak with twilight immediately, it’s important!” without hesitation the stallion pointed to the main room, allowing him entry.
Rushing to the main spa room, Spike was immediately noticed by Twilight then her friends as they were finishing up their spa treatments, with both Rainbow Dash and Applejack finishing up themselves.
“Spike…” Twilight called out, the dragon rushing over to her, “... decided to join us huh, we were just going out for lunch, care to join us.'' her offer however was declined after spike shook his head. ``Sorry Twilight, but a letter came for you.”
The mare striated her mane out, while at the same time asking “ from who?”, she’s been waiting for a letter from her parents after hearing about her brother's promotion and supposed mare friend she's been hearing about. She's quite proud of him too, remembering the first time he got out of royal guard training and seeing that strapping armor on him that would rouse any lucky mare.
The baby dragon bit his lip knowing full well about Twilight's letter from her parents, he broke the news “ Celestia… the letter is from Celestia”, he saw her raise her head mane straightened out, but her brow was cocked, curious on why Celestia sent her a letter right after the gala was hosted. The other bearers looked at each other, curiosity plastered on their faces with a hint of worry seeping through, they eyed the dragon waiting for him to open the letter and what it said.
“Well…” Twilight questioned “...what does it say?”
Breaking the seal the dragon cleared his throat and read;
“My dearest student Twilight
A matter most urgent has come up, and I need you along with your friends to come to the castle immediately, i can't explain more in detail, but Equestria is at stake, all will be explained when you arrive.
Your mentor Celestia
P.s: I've already bought you your train tickets and a guard will escort you when you arrive.”
Looking amongst each other with worry and concern, the mares turned to Twilight for her response regarding celestia's letter, they didn't have to wait long “ come on girls, let's not keep the princess waiting.”
Their relaxing vacation was cut short and began to clean off what they didn't get done, minus Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack. Slowly getting out of the water, Rainbow Dash slowly got out first grabbed a towel and began to dry off, Applejack was about to do the same, but caught a glimpse of the cyan mares winking marehood, eliciting a wink from hers.
Rainbow looked back noticing applejack's hesitation, not knowing of her friends ‘delicate’ situation, “yo AJ you coming?”
The farm mare nodded, gritting her teeth nervously, “ah will be soon,” she chuckled nervously trying to take her mind off of Rainbow's plot, while at the same time trying not to release, though the hot water proved that difficult. Once her arousal diminished enough for her to control she slowly began to get out of the water, after she got out she too began to dry off starting with her mane and working her way down. Rainbow Dash, finishing with her mane tossed the towel in the hamper, so the worker pony could collect it, once she shook off the remaining droplets and preened her wings, her eyes veered off to Applejack’s flank catching sight of the farm mare's marehood.
-POMSH-,-SPLASH-
Rainbow yelped in pain not noticing what her wings struck, Applejack looked back upon hearing her friends cry of pain and was surprised to see Rainbows wings out along with a stallion climbing out of the water.
“ Are y'all right RD?” the farm mare responding to Rainbows painful yelp.
Nervously knowing her wings were still erect from arousal along with one of her blue feathers still in her mouth, she made a quick and small lie hoping Applejack wont see through it, “pfft (spitting the feather out) yea I'm fine. Just hit a nerve, that's all.”
Applejack cocked her brow, eyeing her friends nervous look, being the element of honesty the mare new Rainbow was lying to her, although the plucked feather showed proof of the pegasuses struck nerve, she shrugged “ c’mon sugarcube we best not keep the princesses waiting.”
Twilight levitated spike on her back once her and her friends left the building, they began to gallop to the train station passing by other ponies and as they were Rarity caught sight of the purple mares' worry. Knowing her friend's urgency is about Celestia’s letter, she needed to know if Twilight is taking this sudden letter well, all the while everypony wanting to know why Celestia called them all and what this so-called ‘threat’ is.
Wanting to know if her friend is all right, the fashionista questioned “ Twilight, darling are you okay you're a bit tense?” her inquisitive worry caught the rest of her friends ears, they too wondering how Twilight is taking it.
Twilight's response was quick and immediate “ no I'm not, the last time Celestia sent a letter this early was during the diamond dog skirmish two years ago,'' her explanation carried weight making Rainbow dash gasp upon hearing the name of that incident.
“ I've heard of that incident…” Rainbow began “ ...it was revered as Equestria's darkest hour and was believed to hold an ill fate to the nation” the cyan mare recalled the news along with the ill fated rumors from both the radio and newspaper clippings.
Applejack cocked her brow curious about the skirmish Rainbow Dash mentioned, “I've never heard of this incident, what happened exactly?” Her question surprised the cyan mare thinking that the farm mare knew, especially knowing that one of her cousins was involved.
Knowing they don't have the time, Rainbow looked back to AJ “I'll tell you later.”
The seven after a good five minutes of galloping, arrived at the station with the train warming up to leave the station and arrive at Canterlot. The conductor of the express stood waiting on the platform, his hoof tapping impatiently, while waiting for his final passengers. Noticing the mares and dragon he sighed realizing he didn't have to wait any longer, he quickly brought them aboard knowing full well of the circumstances.
“ALL ABOARD, NEXT STOP CANTERLOT”, the conductor bellows with the train's whistle going off in the background alerting any ponies that the train is departing from the station. In the second train car the mares and dragon began to find their seats, sighing as they sat and waited to arrive at the capitol, with only the thoughts of worry and questions running through their minds.
