Everypony was frozen in place, the remaining guests had already ran off in fright and since no one knew, no one answered Twilights question, all heads then turned to see Celestia's head hanging down in shame, she knew that they needed an explanation and it was time to give them just that.
Celestia sighed and muttered a "follow me" The mane six looked at eachother in confusion but followed her anyway leaving Cadence and Luna alone in the ballroom
Rarity still had tears in her eyes and tried so hard not to glance at her coat and mane. Applejack was simply hopping in her new pear form hoping that any minute she could atleast become an orange, the one fruit that she hated the most was the one she had to be transformed into. Pinkie was saddened by the fact her mouth and cute nose were gone, she hated it when Trixie did the same and never ever wanted to lose them again, she tried to perk her eyes up so it would seem as though she were smiling but her attempt failed making her look miserable. Rainbow dash had received a huge bruise on her head which resulted in her having random seizures, the others had tried to persuade her into seeing a doctor but insisted she was fine. Twilight had been without wings before and could do fine without them but her horn? her cutie mark and element revolved around magic. Fluttershy was in shock, why did that creature call her Posey? she had never knew anypony called Posey but she was in so much fright that she didn't even care.
Celestia led them all into a dark, mysterious room which confused them even more, even Twilight was in a state of confusion, she had sworn that she had been in every room in the castle but now why had this been the only time she had noticed it, she got snapped out of her thoughts as the door slammed shut leaving them all in shock and even more confusion, suddenly a light switched on and there what they could see was amazing, stained glass windows leading all across the room with different images printed on them.
the first one was two ponies one was a mare that had a glittery sparkly orange mane that went to a dark blue colour, she had a white coat with a beautiful cutie mark of the sun! The other was a handsome stallion that had a mane the colour of midnight and his coat was a slightly darker colour, and this time his wings were sparkling along with his horn, he had a cutiemark of a gorgeous glowing star, they were both standing opposite eachother with there heads closing in as if they were about to kiss, the background was a gorgeous meadow, on the mares side it was sunny and there were background ponies playing happily, on the stallions side the sun was gone and was replaced by a moon, the stars made different lights that made the sky light up in eternal beauty and the background ponies were now in deep sleeps, dreaming peacefully.
The mane six looked at the image in awe, who were these ponies? Celestia clearing her throat snapped them out of there daze and they all turned to look at her, waiting for an answer.
"These are mine a Luna's parents" Celestia said looking proudly at the stained glass window, the ponies now saw the resemblance that Celestia had with her mother and how much Luna looked like her father.
Celestia then moved forward and the ponies followed her in curiosity, the next stained glass window was one of a beautiful baby girl, she had a flowing pink mane and a lovely white coat, Celestia didn't have to say anything because everypony knew it was her, Rarity, Applejack, Twilight and fluttershy awed at the cute little baby mare in front of them while rainbow dash tried to act not bothered but couldn't help but soften a bit at the image.
The next one was of another baby mare, she had a midnight coloured coat with a lighter main, everyone automatically knew it was Luna and it was really obvious, everypony reacted the same way as they did with Celestia and she smiled, it was nice to let ponies look at her past even if it was thousands of years ago.
The mane six had seen and heard many stories on Celestia's and Luna's past, they had learnt how they had gotten there cutiemarks, how they had always played lovely together, how they had decided that they were both going to rule Equestria and how Luna got banished to the moon (though they had already heard of that one), they had also heard other stories about other ponies like how the first snow flake came to be, or how one pony brought music across equestria the stories were truly magical... But one question still lingered through the ponies minds 'why is she showing us these?'.
Celestia then led them to a surprising image, it was one of Discord and a beautiful earth pony, everyone's eyes wen't on Fluttershy who whimpered and hid behind her mane, the Mare looked alot like fluttershy only she had a few differences, Celestia sighed.
"Do you all want to hear a story?" they all nodded in response which made Celestia put her head down.
"Long ago just before Luna was banished to the moon there was an outcast, his name was Discord, he tried so hard to get the ponies to like him but because of his appearance, they shunned him except one, her name was Posey, she was sweet, kind, beautiful, basically anything you would look for in a mare, she always saw the good in all creatures no matter how good or bad they were, although it took a while her and Discord fell in love, though some ponies did not agree with there relationship they didn't care, they were engaged to get married but..." Celestia stopped to take a glimpse of the shocked ponies and sighed
"King Sombra, he ruled the crystal empire and was good, and then he saw Posey, he was immediately in love but heartbroken to find out that she was engaged to you know who, Sombra turned cold and dark, put his subjects into slavery and even started a war with equestria which he lost, he lost his title as king and decided that if he couldn't have Posey than no one could... so h- he..." Celestia stopped again and the ponies shocked expressions wen't to horrified and disgusted
"A- after that Discord turned dark, me and Luna tried to reason with him but failed, he soon started to go insane and he was soon spreading his Chaos across Equestria, I tried to stop him by turning him to stone but he somehow managed to escape, and now here he is"
The ponies were shocked, how could this happen, then Applejack striked up the courage to ask a question that the others were to afraid to ask
"W- well then why does Fluttershy look so much like 'Posey'"
"Well Posey is fluttershy's ancestor" suddenly all eyes were on fluttershy again who was just as shocked as every other pony, Posey was her ancestor? And she was engaged to that very same thing that was in the ballroom?
She didn't know...
***
After another couple of hours at the castle everypony decided that after a long day of chaos, they wanted to go home but when they tried to get on the train, it was CHOCOLATE! Literally... When the ponies tried to touch it, well... it basically melted and so everypony sighed.
"I guess we'll be crashing here tonight" Rainbow Dash chirped in while wincing, she had an icepack on her head but the bruise still hurt very much...
They were all so disappointed, there was nothing wrong with the castle but they just wanted to get home, Discord had atleast been nice enough to turn everypony back to normal but the elements of harmony were still not in sight and Twilight was trying to diverse a plan to stop Him but had no vail, As soon as they got into the castle they went there separate ways, Fluttershy decided to go to the garden since it soothed her, she had finally made peace with the animals after the events of last years gala which Fluttershy was very ashamed of and never wanted to go back to, but when she finally got to the garden she was shocked when she saw something unbelievable...
