Princess Celestia is splayed out on the ground, defeated by Queen Chrysalis, surprised and saddened by the power her opponent wielded. Even after the Queen was flung from the castle the thought of how easily she had been bested is stuck in her mind. Worried feelings sprout out of those thoughts. What if she was killed the next time? Who would carry on her legacy? What would happen to the Elements and their bearers? From all these questions she forms a plan that hopefully can provide the answers.
