Chapter 1:

The Royal Meeting



As the 7 friends walked into the room, they were greeted warmly by the two Alicorns sitting at the table.
"Hello there, we are very happy you came. There are very urgent matters we must discuss immediately." said the princess of the sun. She looked horrible compared to any other day, but still she looked beautiful. The other princess spoke up.
"The thing that we must discuss is about the matter we all discussed through letters. Even though we provided you all with valid, important information, we have not told you something that is more dreadful than was is happening to both my sister and  myself." She sounded very serious. The Princess of the Night then looked to her older sister, Celestia, and both nodded.
The white Alicorn spoke with sadness and nervousness in her voice.

"We are to be attacked by Discord, God of Chaos and Disharmony." Everypony's eyes widened while they stared at her.
"I know it seems very unlikely, but alas, nothing lasts forever. Discord has broken free of his stone imprisonment and fled, somehow without us noticing. We hope you all will help everyone by once again wielding the Elements of Harmony and putting a stop to him before he destroys all harmony in Equestria. But there is a problem" Everypony's faces somehow got sadder and even more worried. Celestia could not continue, so instead, Luna did.

"Discord has grown very, very powerful. Enough so until the point to where he can manipulate the minds of multiple ponies at once, and he has targeted all of you." There was silence until Twilight spoke up.

"So he has targeted us to manipulate our minds to the brink of insanity, and you didn't tell us until now?" Twilight Sparkle sounded extremely confused and angry at the two pony royalties before her.

"We are so sorry Twilight, it's just that..." Celestia paused for a moment "We didn't find out he can manipulate the minds of ponies until we ourselves have become corrupt and insane." Celestia finished her sentence with a bit of leadership, being a princess.

All seven of them just stared up at the Princess' of the Sun and Moon, speechless. Well, all were speechless except the brave cyan pegasus name Rainbow Dash.
