The 7th element of harmony
Prologue

It was a sunny morning. The birds were chirping away and the animal’s were going about their businuess, but princesses Celestia was very busy that morning. She was talking to some ponies for the next gala party they were going to have in a few weeks. Celestia was trying to get the elements of harmony to set up the party, for last time they were at the Gala, they were more fun than the other ponies she usually see’s around Cantorlot. Celestia was calm of course, while planning, but not all was calm.

A messenger running through Cantorlot. He was galloping and shoving other ponies out of his way to give a very important message to the princess. However, the message was more than important, but a dreadful message, that Celestia was afraid of.

As the messenger reached, the castle gates, he was stop by two guards. The two guards were pegisi of course, and they spread their wings out to stop the pony. “Halt!” said one of the guards. “None shall pass, unless otherwise authorized,” said the other. The pony that was in a rush then replied, “There is no time.” The pony then pushes the guards with all of his strength out of his way, for the message must be told.

He then rushed down the corridors and went around a few twists and turns, but he finally, burst into the main throne room.

“Princesses Celestia!! I have dire news!,” said the messenger.

“What is the message,” replied Celestia.

The messenger than replied, with a little nervousness in his voice, “the thing has returned.”

“What thing,” questioned Celestia.

“The thing long ago before Luna’s time. The thing that you or any other pony that is afraid to speak of.”

Then Celestia’s eyes widen. Celestia knew what the messenger was talking about. She has been dreading this day. Hoping not to worry about it, but she knew she couldn’t deny it, for it had returned.

She then said, “everypony, we must cancel the meeting and do it some other time. Guards. Use the chariots and bring all of the elements of harmony here to me. And as for you messenger, tell my sister Luna to come see me immediately.”

“Yes your highness,” the messenger said. The messenger than ran outside of the room.

1 hour later.

The chariots were pulling into Cantorlot. As they were, Twilight was wondering why princess Celestia need her and her friends needed to come immediately. Before she was asked to come to Cantorlot, she was busy studying spells, so she could advanced her magic a bit more.

Applejack, were busy bucking zap apples, for the apples, had to be bucked before they were no longer good. Pinkie Pie, was busy doing her job of baking cupcakes and other delicious goods, for other ponies in Ponyville. Rarity was busy making a new fashion line and had been making more dresses for her new clients she had. Fluttershy was busy taking care of her animals, while Rainbow Dash was helping the weather Team out preparing for winter that was coming in 3 months.

Twilight and her friends were walking the corridors of the castle. The mane six were a bit nervous, wondering if they have to use their elements of harmony again. Hopefully, it would be something easy they can do.

The mane six walked in, Celestia said to the guards, “thank you. Now please leave us alone, so we can talk.”

Twilight asked, “Why have you called us here? Is there something wrong?”

“I’m afraid there is,” said Celestia, with a little hesitation in her voice. “I have called you all down here for I need your help. I already informed Luna about this.

“ You see. Before I was ruler of Equestria, somepony else wanted Equestria. However, that pony didn’t want to use it for good of the ponies. She only wanted to use it for her own shellfish needs. The pony, I shall not name, for it was dark times when see was around. The pony had followers, and ponies that were loyal to her. She had an army. She was going to kill the previous ruler of Equestira and make it her own kingdom. As for me, I couldn’t allow that to happen, however, I could not kill her, so I used a very powerful and tricky magic spell, which I’m afraid, I can longer use I again. I locked her away in a dark place, far away from Equestria. I couldn’t lock her away forever, so I locked her away for over 2000’s years. Her years of imprisonment are almost up. By hearts warming’s day, she will have escaped her prison and will rise again. The sign’s of her escape has already begun.

“ You must be thinking of course I need you to use your elements of harmony again. Well, I’m afraid to say, your elements will not work on her, for she is too strong. However, there is still one hope left. You see, you all thought there were only 6 elements of harmony. Well, I’m here today to tell you, that there is another. There is a seventh element. However, the reason why I have been keeping it a secret is that a prophecy was told that the element will come in when the darkest are upon us. The other reason is, it’s not an element of friendship, but what a friendship needs though,” said celestia.

“what’s the element then,” twilight asked.

“The element of strength. The prophecy that was told it is also not a mare, but of a stallion. A stallion who is strong, loyal, and not so kind,” celestia continues to say.

“Do you know who it is?” asks twilight, once again.

“That’s the problem. I have no idea. However, I was able to narrow down the town the best I can to find the stallion. The thing is though; he is in a town far beyond the Everfree forest. Far beyond the mountaintops. Far beyond were my laws has reached upon Equestria. It’s where towns know that I am the ruler of land that they stand on, however, they do not care, for I’m never there. Therefore, they don’t obey the laws. The town’s people over there have made their own laws. From what I’ve heard, it’s mostly moral, but it’s somewhat of a tough place to live at. I have asked you all today to go on a journey to find the seventh element of harmony and bring him back here, for I believe that ‘she’ will be striking here first."

“ I know it will be a tough journey, but I will help you girls prepare for the journey,” Says celestia.

“But how will we know who’s the seventh element?” says rainbow dash.

“Stand back please,” Asks celestia.

Celestia then uses her magic to open up a secret basement hidden underneath the floor. Celestia walks to the basement, so does the other mane six. Celestia walks over to an old dusty box and opens it. She then grabs out a ring.

“A ring?”, pinkie say out loud.

“Yes, this is the seventh element. The ring will glow if it’s on the seventh element, and only the seventh element. When you get to the town, find the strongest stallion in the town, and put this on him. If it glows, then it is him. I then want you to being him back here, so I can talk to him and make sure he’s prepared for the fight,” says celestia.

“But what if we fail?” asks twilight, with dread in her voice.

“I hope not my little ponies. I hope not,” says celestia one last time. Celestia then walks out of the basement to help prepare the royal guards for the worst to come.
