[POV: Twilight]

Standing before the five stones, each with a gemstone engraved upon their surface I swallowed the saliva that was building up in my mouth

“The Elements of Harmony…” I mumble to myself as a nervous sweat drop makes its mark on my forehead

“Come on now y’all, she needs to concentrate” I heard Applejack say behind me as I began to flow mana into my horn, putting in all my focus into trying to dispel whatever was hiding the true form of the Elements

The trotting of hooves became quieter as I closed my eyes and continued

I heard a rattling, that of stones as wind begins to blow in my face

I think it's working…? But I haven't even made a dent in the dispelling of whatever was keeping the Elements from me

In confusion, I open my eyes and step back, a gasp escaping my lips as I stare at a dark mist making a cyclone that carried…

“The Elements!”

I let out a yelp as I get up and dash into it, and feel my body shift through space

Teleportation magic!

I let out a cough as dust enters my lungs from the long abandoned castle

I look forwards and my eyes widen at the sight of Nightmare Moon, the Stone Elements floating around her

She let out a chuckle as I take a deep breath and lower my stance

Scraping my hoof across the ground as I stare at Nightmare

“...You’re kidding…” She said in an almost disappointed manor

“You’re kidding, right?” She was slightly confused at my gesture, after all, who would charge straight into the Empress of Night for a head on duel willingly?

My horn begins to glow as I ready a Teleportation spell, multitasking by sprinting full speed as I do so

Nightmare Moon smirks, before deciding to entertain herself by going along with what I had planned. A twisted smile on her face as she sprinted back at me in return

My horn glows even brighter as I stall the spell to activate at the most opportune moment

1 second

2 seconds

3 seconds

These three seconds felt like centuries as I nearly had a heart attack at the sight of Nightmare Moon’s face close up

NOW!

Mere moments before collision, the spell activated, teleporting me directly to elements

“Uhh…” I moan at the headache I had, multitasking like that was something that almost fried my brain… “Just one spark…”

A nervous smile adorned my face as I focus on the elements yet again, I manage to quickly dispel the enchantment on the Elements through brute force, as they light up with mana

Before I could finish the spell, I see a flash of blue as I get launched backwards, my back scrapes against the ground as I yelp in pain

“No…” I hear Nightmare Moon exclaim “NO!”

My expression hardens and I smile as the stones begin to float, a purple aura enveloping them

Before they drop down to the floor with a clink

“B-but, where's the Sixth Element!”

I hear cackling as I drop to the floor

I was wrong

It was just… a myth

Am I going to die here?

All because I trusted some stupid book?

I hear a crash as I flinch and look at the stones now shattered on the ground

Tears well up in my eyes as I try and choke back a sob

“You little Foal… thinking you could defeat ME! Now you will never see your Princess” she says, lightning striking around her as her mane of mist flares up “Or your SUN!”

“The Night… will last… FOREVER-” I hear hoofsteps, looking behind me, the voices of my friends could be heard as they called out in reassurance

But what was even louder

Was the shattering on glass windows

And the ear piercing scream that came with it

“SHUT UP-!”

a voice I could recognise anywhere

“DEMI?!”

I woke up in a weird state

Sitting up, I hear the crackling of sticks tapping against each other

Looking down, my eyes had now fully adjusted to the darkness, and I saw the body of a timberwolf, the muzzle part completely removed, as if it had been erased

“Well, that’s a first” normally when I die, I regenerate near instantly, and awaken near instantly as well, but this time I was dead long enough for an animal to come over and feast upon my insides

Now, the reason why currently, it was dead, was because anything interfering with the body’s regeneration after dying, such as an object impaling my stomach, will be erased

Seems the unlucky animal died when I regenerated

Patting my satchel, I manage to pull out a cigarette, placing it in my mouth and lighting it with a magic spark that I brute forced out of my horn

Taking a puff, I stretch my weary bones and yawn

Well, it seems this magic disruption thing slowed down my revival

Summoning Icarus, I move him above the canopy yet again, as he had probably been unsummoned when I died

Covering my eyes with my hooves, I focused on Icarus, synchronising my sight with his

Looking at the moon, I think back to when I first entered the dark part of the forest

Approximately…an hour? No, maybe two?

That was a really long time… but it seems I haven't missed the action just yet

This is valuable information though

Places where magic can't be used easily slows down my regeneration

Standing up, I stretch and crack the bones in my body, as Icarus flies down and grabs me around the chest, under the fore/front legs

He flew upwards, before locating the castle of the two sisters quite easily, and zooming over at immense speeds

I see a flash of light from the tallest spire

“Guess that's where we’re heading” I mumble to Icarus as I take another puff of the cigarette in my mouth

My horn flashes with light as I prepare a spell

There are millions of spells a Unicorn can use

You see Magic IS Math

And because Magic is Maths, its split into two sub-groups

Applied Thaumaturgy and Pure Thaumaturgy

You can think of it like the difference between Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematic

It's hard to explain so I’m gonna do a major simplification

Maths is like a language

And Mathematics as a subject is like linguistics

There are various branches in maths

So Applied wants to study Linguistics as a whole, so they can become a spanish translator

Whilst Pure Mathematics wants to study Linguistics so that they can make up their own language

If we get out of this convoluted metaphor, Applied Thaumaturgy studies all the branches of Magic so they can use all the branches of magic, maybe creating a few spells within that area, whilst Pure Thaumaturgy Studies all the branches of magic to make up new magic

However Pure Thaumaturgy is seen as lesser since the Magic they study is basically all theoretical and unachievable, or achievable but very inefficient

However the best Magicians are good at one and half decent at the other

Take for example, the theory of Muscle Magic, formulated by Clover The Clever, a famous Applied Thaumaturgist who studied Pure as a pastime

It's a theoretical branch of Physical Enhancement Magic, that instead of enhancing physical strength with magic, it creates new muscles made of magic within the body that overlap and enhance the strength much better than Physical Enhancement

It’s a very simple magic that can be used easily by even a foal

However, it’s recognised as Theory due to its drawbacks. The Magic Muscles are so strong that it literally breaks the bones in your body to pieces

That doesn't really affect me though

I hear maniacal laughter from inside the castle that I was quickly approaching

Oh my fucking god, is Nightmare Moon…

MONOLOGUING!?

Thats the NUMBER 1 thing you shouldn't do as a Villain!

Crashing through the window, I let out an ear piercing scream

“SHUT UP!”

Author's Note

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE HASBRO SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 69 NEURONS THAT FILL MY TINY BRAIN. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE 69 NEURONS IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HASBRO AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

Why in gods name are they ending their most profitable series!? (allegedly)
