	The slashing of a flowing stream could be heard nearby. The leaves in the trees were gently being blown by the wind. Shooting Star lay alone in the forest, with her books and quills. A cool summer breeze would occasionally come by and blow away some papers, and she would have to chase them. 
She came across a book with a picture of a knight's armor on the cover. It was dusty, wrinkled, and covered in soft leather. The picture on the front was a golden plaque. She slowly opened it. "Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land." She read aloud to herself.
Shooting Star thought very carefully. Her mom had told her a story like this before. She read on.
" To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful."
"I know I've heard this before! Something to do with the mane six..." She said. Another breeze flew by. Again, she read.
"She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon."
"The elements of harmony," Shooting Star felt her life flash before her eyes.
"And harmony has been maintained ever since. From then on, the eldest sister took on her role as the leader of their magical land. The End!" Twilight said. "That's enough stories for tonight, Starry. Time to go to bed." 
"Aw! But can't I go flying with Starburst?" Her daughter pleaded.
"No, it's much too dangerous to be flying at your age." Twilght replied.
The filly trotted off to bed, being followed by the little orange pegasus. "Is it the last night?" Flash asked his wife.
"I'm afraid it is."
Dust trailed behind the light-blue unicorn as she ran. Beads of sweat slowly poured down her face. She teleported ahead as much as she could. She shouldn't have come so far from home.
Finally, as she reached the borders of the autumn forest, she could feel her breath leaving. She was covered in persipiration, tears, and mud. Finally, when she drew her last breath, she collapsed to the ground, her conciousness leaving her.



"I know CPR! I can do this!" Starburst said. She pushed onto her sister's chest. The nurses and people around her rushed to help. Finally, Shooting Star gasped in the air, coughing and panting. As soon as she was relaxed and sitting up, Starburst hugged her tight. 
"Don't do that ever again. We need to know where you are. I want you to be safe." She wispered in Star's ear. 
"I was just studying, and I had a vision. I need to speak to mom. Privately."
