I burst in through the door, I was one of the first since I had HR V1 Active, which I will probably keep active for the immediate future since Nightmare Moon can turn into mist… and she could be watching me at this very moment, and I don't want to reveal my Immortality to her just yet…

“Elements, Elements, Elements…” I heard Twilight murmur to herself, Spike was off her shoulders and now placed on his bed from what I could see, and Twi was frantically searching for something. The main library room was a mess of books strewn across the floor… so now I know this is definitely an emergency. “UGH! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony!”

The technicolour pegasus flew in from the window, confronting Twilight

“And just what ARE the Elements of Harmony!?” She flew closer to Twilight in an attempt of intimidation and she walked closer “And how did YOU know about Nightmare Moon, Huh? Are you a Spy?”

The cowgirl pony had arrived to calm her girlfriend, tugging on her tail for a moment as miss skittles yelped

“Simmer down sally! She aint no spy… but she sure knows whats going on…” The rest of the group had reconvened, gathering and backing Twilight into a corner "Dontchya Twiligh'..."

“Wait wait wait wait… before anything… who are you ponies?” I stood infront of Twilight and asked the only thing on my mind right about now

“Oh, sorry, Mah names Applejack, This here's Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash" She introduced everyone “But… sorry for asking but who are you?”

“Oh, this is Demi Cube-” I interuppted Twilight

“Full Government is crazy, you all can call me Demi… but they're right, Twilight, how did you know of Nightmare Moon?”

She backed away slightly, before sighing

“I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon, some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, But I don't know what they are! Where to find them! I don't even know what they do!” her face was full of her trademarked panic…

“The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide” The pony now known as Pinkie read out loud. Twilight dashed over, bumping her out of the way to see it

“How did you find that!?” she yelled, as I watched from the sidelines, as Pinkie began bouncing around

“It was under E~!” Pinkie replied in a Sing-song voice, before Twilight let out a deflated ‘Oh’, and I tried to stifle a laugh. She gave me a scowl and I turned my face away, still trying to hold back

Twilight pulled the book out with magic, flipping to the glossary, before flipping to a page and reading alloud

“There are Six Elements of Harmony, but Only Five are known. Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty, the sixth is a complete mystery, It is said, that the last known location was in the ancient castle of the Royal Pony Sisters… it is located in wh t is now…”

The rest of the group was huddled around the book, reading it as she did, and the all stuttered in unison reading out the final lines

“T-the Everfree Forest!?”

Pinkie was the first to break the silence, much like always

“Whee! Lets go!”

“Not so fast!” Twilight stopped her dead in her tracks “Look, I appreciate the offer, but I really rather do this on my own…”

“No can do Sugarcube, we sure aint letting any Friend-” both me and Twilight flinched at the word “-of ours go into that creepy place Alone. We're sticking to you like Caramel on a Candy Apple”

“And Really Twi? You expect ME of all ponies to go ahead and let you hog all the fun?” I say with a smirk, walking past her as we all began to walk out of the library and towards the whatever free forest

We were a few minutes into out excursion, and we managed to find ourselves on a small cliff side. There was plenty of room so I doubt it would fall or collapse without any large external forces

“So… none of you have been in here before?” I could hear a hint of fear in her voice… well I probably would also be scared if I was in any danger… I moved a little closer to my Rival in order to at least give her a bit more security, though I doubt I did much to help

“Oh heavens no! Just look at it… its dreadful!” Rarity spoke with… a british accent? Did I finally meet one of my people?

“And It aint natural! Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria…” Applejack added on

"What does that mean?” I question, as Rainbow swoops in from above, landing near the front, getting low to the ground

“No~pony knows…” she said ominously, in a blatant attempt to spook us. It worked on Fluttershy. Which, now that I think of it, is a perfect descriptor of her entire personality “You know why?”

“Rainbow! Quit it!” Applejack yelled, being ahead of her, along with Me and Twilight

“Cuz everypony who’s ever come in… has never… come… OUT!” she yelled the last bit, as the large sound must've disrupted the cliff in a way where it fell, Fluttershy and Rainbow were pegasus so they managed to fly before they fell, and instantly, without speaking they both dashed forwards as fast as they could in order to catch us… Two pegasi, can't catch 5 Ponies who can't fly…

Well guess the cats getting out of the bag

Really hoped I could keep it a secret a bit longer but oh well

The drop wasn't straight down, we all slid down the curve of the cliff’s face, which hurt like hell. I could feel bits of my skin scraping and burning from the friction

“IGNORE ME! GET THE REST FIRST!” I yell, as they both caught Pinkie and Rarity, with Applejack catching onto a loose branch and saving herself, yet Twilight was left out sliding down reaching, managing to hold onto the edge of a hoofhold further down "ICARUS!”

Icarus materialised, flying towards Twilight in order to help her up but… it seems I used him too much today, as he faded out of existence after a few seconds of flying…

Applejack let go of the branch in a controlled slide down to get her, as I fell down off the edge, too preoccupied with everyone else's safety to care

…

There was a loud crunch

FUCKING HELL THAT HURTS!

I landed legs first.

I stared down at their crooked form, and grit my teeth in pain

A compound comminuted fracture

Comminuted means the bone had shattered into more than 1 piece at the place of fracture, Compound means that it breaks the skin at the impact, or that its pierced through the skin, which it had

I couldn't use magic to kill myself sadly, the Heavenly Restriction was still in effect since I hadn't died yet. And I couldn't move my legs because… well, obvious reasons

If I landed wrong, this would be deadly, and even with the way I did, I would bleed out before help could get here…

No way a regular Pegasi could scream loud enough to cause this… which means that this was done artificially, probably due to some interference caused by Nightmare…

She’s out to kill us…

At least I know not to hold back anymore when fighting her

A smile crawled up my face, before I stopped myself and stared up

I need to talk to them, more specifically Twilight, but all the air was pushed out of my body from the impact… Its gonna take a while to recover my breath

It didn't take long for Fluttershy and Rainbow to drop Pinkie and Rarity down at the bottom of the drop… I was being hidden by some trees and bushes, but this cover wouldn't last long…

Well, it seems like its gonna take a bit till Twilight gets here, and the adrenaline iss about to run out, and I don't want to scream my head off, so suicide it is

Biting down on my tongue, I’m surprised at how I am able to completely sever it… well glad to know the Heavenly Restriction is working well

Time to choke!

Yay!

…
…
…

Black particles rose from my body, indicating that I had now revived!

I quickly take off my now bloody clothes and am left butt booty naked

Great

Well thankfully I was born into a civilisation of nudists

Walking out of the bush, I met with the rest

“Demi! Where in Celestias Mane were you!” I heard Twilight say as she turned to me

“I died. Don't worry I got better” That seemed to be good enough for her, but Rainbow wasn't convinced, as she squinted her eyes and gave me a side eye

“Well if you must know, I fell onto some trees, which managed to save me from a broken leg… sadly they also tore my clothes to bits, so I was a bit busy changing out of them” I lied as naturally as I breathed

I could feel a gaze linger on me… I turned my head to see some mist, purple and sparkly

It quickly leaves

“You spot something?” Twi asked. I turned to her slowly

“No, It’s nothing…”

My eyes wandered to the direction it went, as I heard a deafening roar

“Thats definitely not good…”
