I read all the interactions and this just popped into my head, had to write it.

Princess Aria, the daughter of Princess Celestia, and her cousin Princess Elatha, the daughter of Princess Luna, both unexpectedly have the exact same dream. And it didn’t just last for 1 night, no. It had been recurring for several nights now. What does it mean? Soon things become all too real as an ancient evil, locked away for over 8,000 years, returns to plunge their world and all others into eternal darkness. And the only ones who can stop this threat are the Elements of Harmony. There’s only 1 problem: Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Princess Twilight Sparkle are no longer connected to the Tree of Harmony or the Elements. Worse still, many don’t even know the threats that are coming! Now their best bet is to find the 6 new Elements of Harmony, but who and where are they? Will they work together to fight for their world? And what does a forbidden card game called ‘Duel Monsters’ have to do with any it?

Everything in this story has an explanation, be patient and you will find it.

ALL OCs USED IN THIS ARE NOT MINE

Princess Twilight Sparkle, wife of Captain Flash Sentry and mother to Princess Starburst and Prince Night Light Jr., is living a happy life being the Princess of Friendship and watching over Ponyville. But one day, the past will catch up to her like the thunder after lightning.

Thought about doing a crossover fic for the Kilalaverse and a really heart-warming fan fiction.

Please enjoy and send feedback.

Spike is of legal age in this story.

Fuzzy, blurry patches of color. That's all I can see. I wouldn't even call it "seeing". It's quite sad to be honest. Being pretty much blind makes me feel so helpless sometimes. My parents must've thought I was pretty helpless too for them to leave me. I think everyone thinks I'm helpless to some extent. I was so sheltered during my life at the orphanage. I admit, it was nice being taken care of and knowing that I was safe. But I wanted to be more than that filly who would just stay in her room all day, waiting for something interesting to happen in her life. I wanted to take action and prove I was anything but helpless. That lead me to do something no one saw coming...
