//------------------------------// // Forever Lost // Story: Magical Mysteries of Hogwarts: Darkness Rises // by Juliaa //------------------------------// Sunset was rushing through the filled halls of Hogwarts. "Did you see Twilight Sparkle? Blue hair, black glasses, Slytherin?" she kept asking everyone around but no one knew where she was. Suddenly, she spotted her friend group and rushed to them in hopes of finding her but there was no luck, she wasn't there. "Woah there Sunset, you look awful!" Rainbow said out loud to which everyone gave her an angry look. "What? She does!" "Have any of you seen Twilight? I can't find her," Sunset went straight to the point. "Uh, no, we haven't seen her since yesterday," Applejack tried to remember. "Oh, this is bad!" Sunset panicked and started to run again. Others were confused but followed. "And uh, why is it bad? I am sure she is alright!" Rarity was first to ask. "Yeah, she is probably studying somewhere!" Pinkie reassured. "Maybe she is in class?" Fluttershy also suggested. "No, you don't understand, she wasn't in out class today, wasn't in her room, common room, dinning hall, courtyard, at Hagrid's, Quidditch, library, or anywhere else!" Sunset was in panic. "She isn't anywhere! It's like she just disappeared and I have only found out about the prophecy!" Everyone was even more confused and worried. "Uhm, what prophecy?" Discord raised an eyebrow. "The one that says Twilight will unite with Nightmare Moon and take over the whole world!" Sunset said as if it were obvious. Everybody laughed, "oh please! Twilight would NEVER!" Rainbow barely got out from laughing. "Yeah, you are worrying over nothing!" Pinkie reassured. "Then how do you explain her missing?" Sunset was still not convinced. "I am sure she is around here somewhere! Let's go check the places you didn't!" Applejack reassured. "You all go on without me, I still need to search for something," Discord said awkwardly. "You still didn't find the element?" Fluttershy asked worried. "You lost your ELEMENT?" Sunset was furious. "It was in my room and just disappeared!" Discord defended himself. "Happy thoughts... happy thoughts," Sunset walked away. "I will find it!" Discord shouted after her. "You better!" She shouted back. Fluttershy looked worried at Discord. "Go help them, I will manage," he said before going in other direction. _____ Discord looked everywhere. Everywhere he was and could think of. Since he couldn't find it, he went outside to the Courtyard. He sat down. Something felt off, for the first time since he got to Hogwarts, the Courtyard was empty and it was the middle of the day. Not a sound heard, only strong wind and winter coldness. Discord didn't like it. Suddenly a shadow fell over him and he turned around to see Twilight and a woman with a cloack around her. They both were pointing their wands at him. He couldn't believe it. Was Twilight really trying to fight him? Was this a prank? What was happening. "Looking for this?" Twilight asked. "You stole my element? Why?" Discord was now sure this was some sort of prank. I mean it had to be, right? "I needed it to take over the world?" Twilight said smiling. "Why would you need to take over the world?" It didn't make sense. "Power," was all Twilight said. Discord still didn't get it but went on to the next question, "and who is that?" "Oh, me?" Nightmare Moon revealed herself. Discord was in panic. "The One Who Shall Not Be Named!" He said. "You can call me my name!" she got annoyed. "Nightmare Moon...." he said quietly. "We have an offer for you!" Nightmare Moon suggested. "Join us!" Twilight cut to the point. "Why in the world would I join you?" Discord laughed. Yes, definitely a prank. A good one indeed. "You would get so much power! We will soon take over the world and if you help us, you will be spared from destruction and revenge!" "Mhm, and why do you even need me? It's not like I am some super powerful wizard!" "Because only one person can completly control the element! I can have some of the power but only one who will ever get it's whole power is you!" Twilight explained holding the Element of Disharmony. "Join us and you will be able to rule the world with us! There will be so much chaos around!" Nightmare Moon smiled. "I do love chaos," he started to think. "But no, I can't betray my friends?" "Your friends? Our friends? Ones whoa re stopping us from reaching our full potential? From gaining so much magic? Come on Discord, don't you see you have been kept in a box whole life? Why did we search for your element last? Why didn't they require me to give it to you! They don't trust you!" Twilight said. "It's not true!" Discord argued. "They want you to only use little of this magic for good. Never creating chaos, always following orders of Dumbeldore or whoever," Nightmare Moon said. "With us your power would be limitless!" Twilight smiled. "I can't do that to Fluttershy!" Discord argued. "As if she cares! I am sure she just wants to keep you in a box too! Would probably hate it if you ever took too much magic for yourself. I bet she is happy you don't have your element with you!" "That's not true!" "Isn't it?" Discord stopped tot hink about his friends. Has he been wrong about them? Could he finally have power now? And create any spell he wants? He would finally stop being a failure in magic this way. "Discord!" Fluttershy's voice was heard. He turned around to see his friends standing at the other end. He was now completly sure this wasn't a prank. "Twilight you seriously joined her?" Sunset heart broke. "I hope you will understand. I did it for magic!" "No, I don't udnerstand! Come back here and we can talk about it!" Sunset was hopeful. "So you can limit me like you limit Discord. Decide now, yes or no!" Twilight demanded. Discord panicked. "Don't!" Fluttershy yelled. "Nobody can have that much power! We aren't allowed to use so much of the element!" "Oh really? Give me that!" Discord snapped and before thinking took his element. "No!" Fluttershy cried. "Come, we need to leave!" Nightmare Moon said to Discord. "Surely you saw this coming, Fluttershy?" Discord asked. "I didn't, I really didn't!" she cried as sad Discord and proud Twilight and Nightmare Moon ran away. "Great! We are doomed!" Rainbow casually said and continued to calmly drink the smoothie she was holding.
