Chapter 1: The Stone Draconequus
A knock came at the door of a not to big three room two bath cloud house on the edge of Ponyville.
"I'll get it!” screamed a loud pegasus with a loin's paw and an eagle's claw.
"Oh hi Derpy what's up?” she said to the blonde wall-eyed gray pegasus at the door.
"Hi Missy is your mama home?" said Derpy.
"Yeah I'll go get her!"
Missy ran to her parents' bed room as quick as she could.
"Mommy Derpy is at the door!"
A mint green pegasus sat up in bed with a tired look on her face.
"Missy I told you not to call her that." she said.
"Sorry mommy, but she doesn't mind."
With a sigh she unwillingly got out of bed. She walked to the door to meet the mail pony.
"Hello Ditzy, you have mail for me?"
"Hi SkyMint, and yes, a letter from Princess Celsetia."
Derpy gave SkyMint the letter and flew off to her next stop.
"Ning wake up!" SkyMint yelled to her husband. Ning, a blue draconequus with an orange mane came into the living room to see what the fuss was all about.
"What is it Minty?" he asked his wife.
SkyMint gave the letter to him to read aloud,
"Dear SkyMint and family,
It's been awhile since I have talked to you all and I was hoping you would like to come to Canterlot Castle for a visit.
Princess Celestia"
"Are we gonna go mommy?" a very excited Missy asked.
"Well I guess we could, we're not doing anything today." replied SkyMint.
"Yay!!!" screamed the happy filly. She ran to her brother's room and jumped up and down on his bed waking the minty green draconequus pony.
"Missy what are you doing?!"
"We're going to Canterlot Castle Mackenzie!!"
……
After what seemed like forever the family finally got to Canterlot. While walking to the castle, every few minutes Missy would point out something she found strange, often pointing out 'How odd the Canterlot ponies acted' causing SkyMint and Ning to have to apologize to the fancy Canterlot ponies.
"Look it's the castle Daddy!" said Missy when the castle came into sight, "Don't you think it would be fun to live there?"
"I don't think it would be you could get lost in a big place like that." said Mackenzie.
When they got to the castle gates the guards greeted them and let them enter but rather than just walking in Missy dragged Mackenzie over to ask the Royal Guards a million questions.
"Did you know our Grandpa is a Royal Guard? Do you stand out here in the hot sun all day? Is that armor heavy? What do you get paid? What are your names?"
"Missy we need to go mom and dad are leaving.” Mackenzie dragged his crazy and curious sister away from the poor guards, much to their relief.
When Missy and Mackenzie finally caught up to their parents they were already talking to the princess. In the presence of Princess Celestia normally chatty Missy was as quiet as mouse.
"Hello Missy and Mackenzie, it's been awhile since I have seen you two." said the princess.
"Hi Princess." was all an amazed Missy could say. She knew that she had meet the princess when she was little but now that she was older she released that this was the pony who brought the day and who had protected Equestria for who knows how many years. Mackenzie's reaction was very similar to his sister's.
"Don't be shy kids." the princess smiled at them and led the family to the dining hall.
After about half an hour Missy was back to her old self asking millions of questions, all of which Princess Celestia was happy to answer. Mackenzie though was oddly quiet, quieter than usual and when Missy and Ning went with the princess to go see something Missy had asked about SkyMint asked, "Mackenzie what's wrong sweet heart? You've hardly said a word all day."
"I don't know… I just feel weird that's all."
"Honey if you had told us we wouldn't have come today."
"No not that kind of weird, its… it’s like I have a feeling that something is…"
"Mackenzie!" said a happy bouncing Missy, "Come look at the garden it's so cool!"
……
"We are going to have dinner with the princesses are you two sure you'll be ok by yourselves?" asked a worried SkyMint.
"Yes mommy we'll be fine." replied Missy.
"Ok but you have to promise to STAY here. Do you understand me?" Ning looked at Missy, knowing she was already planning to explore the castle.
"Yes Daddy I promise."
From where Mackenzie was standing he could see Missy was crossing her fingers on her lion paw hidden behind her leg.
When their parents left Missy started smiling.
"Mackenzie I'm hungry can I have some cotton candy?"
"Fine but you know mom doesn't like me to make it like this." Mackenzie clapped his hooves and out of thin air a small cloud of cotton candy appeared which Missy grabbed and gobbled up.
"Yummy, how do you do that anyway?"
"I dunno… I wish I knew why mom doesn't let me make it."
Missy just shrugged and look out the door to be sure nopony was there.
"It's clear come on Mackenzie!"
"Why do we always have to do what mom and dad tell us NOT to do?"
Missy ignored him knowing that ether way he would follow her.
…
They walked down countless hallways and passages. Soon they reached the darkest hall so far. It was so dark you could hardly see past your nose. It was cold and very deep under the castle.
"Missy, we'll get lost down here we need to go!"
"Don't be a baby Mackenzie! Besides look there's a torch!"
Missy grabbed the torch and continued flying, ignoring her nervous brother.
They soon came to a door. A metal door with a tiny window. Both kids stopped when they saw it. Even Missy was still for a while. But that didn't last long. She flew up to the window and tried to peek through.
"It's too dark in there to see... Look a door handle!"
She gave Mackenzie the torch and grabbed the handle and yanked!
"It's Stuck!"
"Missy! Stop we can't go in there!!"
Missy pulled and pulled until finally the door flew open and threw the two back, putting out the torch. It was once again to dark to see past your nose. But now there was a strange glow in the room. It was coming from what looked like a stone figure. Missy walked closer to get a better look.
"Mackenzie… come look at it I… I think it's a draconequus…” Missy whispered.
Mackenzie walked to his sister's side and looked at the draconequus. He had big bushy eyebrows a beard and a one fang hanging down from his evil looking grin, just like Mackenzie's fang.
"Hey Mackenzie this draconequus looks a lot like you don't cha think? I mean look you've both got the same tail and fangs!"
"I don't look like him at all Missy! He's got to be evil! I mean look they have him locked in a dungeon deep under the castle like a prisoner! He must have lived at one time or another!"
"Don't be so silly! It's a statue! It's not like someone turned 'him' to stone! Nopony can do that!"
"You don't know that Missy! Didn't mom once say something about some things called The Elements of Harmony? I think she said something about them being able to defeat evil… maybe that's what happened to him!"
"That's just an old mare's tale Mackenzie! Gesh why are you getting so worked up about it anyway?!"
"Because I don't want to be competed to anypony that's evil!"
"You Can't Prove 'He' Was Evil"
They yelled and argued so much that they were too busy to see that the stone had started to glow brighter and brighter. Eventually Missy got tired of yelling and tackled Mackenzie. In his angered state of mind Mackenzie fought back.
The stone draconequus started to crack and shake. Then BOOM the entire thing fell to pieces!
"Oh look what you did now Mackenzie! It broke!"
"I didn't do it! You did!"
In the dark dungeon came a dark and sinister laugh that quickly quieted the two siblings…
