Equestria´s new elements

by EASTON

The emblems of peace

While Twilight was heading towards her castle the rest of the group went to her old tower in Canterlot. Once there Spike knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Moon Dancer, it's me Spike."
The aforementioned unicorn made haste in opening the door. "Spike! Thank Celestia yoouuu..." Moon Dancer was shocked at the large party that Spike had brought along with him.
"Moon Dancer, who is it?"
Spike looked to see who was the one talking. "Minuette? What are you doing here?"
Before anypony could say another word Moon Dancer spoke. "We better get inside. We can ask and answer questions later."

The entire group entered the tower and inside there were also two other unicorns, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts who were just as surprised as Moon Dancer about the group that had just arrived.
"So..." Spike began, "what are you all doing here?"
Moon Dancer was the one to answer. "We were all having a picnic in the nearby park when all this madness started. Luckily Twilight's old tower was near so I brought the girls here."
"Princess, what is going on?" Minuette asked.
Princess Celestia told the four ponies what the situation was. "An evil version of princess Twilight has appeared, and she is very powerful, not to mention she has the staff of Hyrule. With this power she has created clones of Equestria's most dangerous threats; Nightmare Moon, Discord, Crysalis, Sombra and Tirek and they are causing havoc all over the land."
Pinkie jumped in front of the princess to speak herself. "We came here because Twilight said she had a book which had some sort of solution to our problems."
Minuette searched the group but couldn't see Twilight. "And where is she?"
Starlight was the one to answer that question. "She went to get somepony named Sunset Shimmer, we might need that pony's help." She then turned to the group she had came with. "Who is this Sunset Shimmer anyway."
To everypony's surprise the one who answered was Moon Dancer. "She's Twilight's student." Every turned to see Moon Dancer as if she had just said something strange. "What? We've been writing each other for weeks now."
"But... I'm Twilight's student."
It was then Spike realized that they never told Starlight about Sunset. "Uhm... you see, Twilight has another student. Sunset was formerly a student of princess Celestia until something similar to your case happened."
"I see."

After that there was a knock on the door, with the situation at hoof Moon Dancer hurried to open the door and outside was her friend Twilight and an amber colored unicorn. "Come in."
"It's good to see you again Moon Dancer, although I wish it was on a different situation."
"*sigh* Mee too"

The two soon joined the rest of the group, but the one that was most glad about their arrival was Celestia. She had not seen Sunset Shimmer in a very long time. Once her two former students entered the room the monarch crossed looks with the pony that once left through the mirror. "It has been far too long Sunset Shimmer."
Sunset diverted her look from her former teacher. "Indeed." She then looked back to the alicorn she once called her mentor. "I wish our reunion was on other circumstances."
"So do I, but for now we should focus on the task at hand."

"Moon Dancer, have you reorganized the books since I gave you the key to the tower?"
"Yea. But just tell me what book you're looking for."
"It's called 'The Magic Of The Cosmos.'"
Moon Dancer nodded and used her magic to get the book from one of the shelves and hands it to Twilight. She then places the book on the lectern and opens it where the information she needed was located. "Here it is. 'The Emblems of Peace.'" How ever all she got was a bunch of confused looks. "They are very powerful items that if we unlock their magic we could save Equestria from Midnight Sparkle. Just one of these should be as strong as the Elements of Harmony."

Discord just laughed at that final statement. "Now, come on Sparkle, if those things were real and had that kind of power some would have already used them to solve one of the many crisis that have taken over."
"Maybe. If they were easy to find that is." That final frase stopped the mocking from the lord of chaos. "These emblems, unlike the elements, are spread out across the entire land and each of them is no bigger than a stamp."
Rainbow Dash couldn't believe Twilight had such a complicated plan. "Come on Twilight. If it's really that hard then how are we going to find them?"
"I told you, Midnight knows about them and she's just give us their locations. Please all of you listen to me. These are the Emblems of Peace." She then showed the group the image the book had of the emblems.

"Nothing is random about them not even the color and the way to unlock their magic basically the same as with the elements, embodying the characteristic each of them represent. To find them we must travel to the locations the riddles give and find a carving of the shape of the emblem. We will know its the emblem because, even if they can be put in ink, any carving of them will instantly disappear." She then demonstrated that face by carving one of the emblems into the floor and just like she said it disappeared, it was like she had never carved it. "The Emblems of Peace are the following:
"First is the emblem of Courage. It's an orange sun due to the fact that the sun is often related to power and strength and orange is the color of courage.
"Second is the emblem of Friendship. Its blue simbol represents the bond between ponies and relates to the moon like the previous one relates to the sun.
"Third is the emblem of Love. A red heart with one half showing purity which I guess is self explanatory.
"The purple one is the emblem of Knowledge. It's supposed to represent the brain but I'm not sure how
"As for the green one it's the emblem of Purity and Innocence. It's a seed shaped like a tear.
"The white cross is the emblem of Sincerity.
"Then there are two pink ones. The first is the emblem of Light represented by a radiance of life; the glow that guides those who have fallen to the darkness.
"The other one is the emblem of Kindness shown by the flower that grows from the seed of darkness.
"The three final ones are made of bronze, silver and gold. The bronze one is the emblem of Hope showing a sun shining the ray of the light of hope.
"Next is the silver emblem of Destiny.
"And finally the golden 'M' with four arrows surrounding it is the emblem of Miracles.
"These are the eleven Emblems of Peace."

The first one to answer was Sunset. "OK... but how are going to find them."
"As I said, there are riddles telling their location:
"The emblem of courage shall be found where the fire is the earth."
Applejack was the one to realize what it meant. "The fire swamps, where Tirek is."
"The emblem of friendship resides in the domain of those with wings."
This time it was Rainbow Dash who answered. "The sky. Cloudsdale. Discord."
"The emblem of love is on the home of those who roar fire."
Easy one for spike. "The Dragonlands."
"The emblem of knowledge resides on the land where all is crystal."
Shining Armor knew the place. "The Crystal Empire."
"The emblem of purity and innocence is found in the forest that magic can not touch."
Luna had the answer to that one. "The Everfree Forest."
"The emblem of sincerity dwells where the rule of ice is supreme."
Celestia could easily answer it. "The Frozen North."
"The three elemental emblems live with the creatures moved by the wind."
There was no way Fluttershy didn't know the answer to that one. "The land of the breezies."
"And the other two dwell in the nightmare place where darkness is eternal."
The final pony to give an answer was Cadence. "Tartarus."

With that they now had the location of all of the eleven emblems and understood what Twilight meant when she said Midnight might know of the emblems and their location. Now one question remained and Sunset was the one to ask it. "How are we ever going to be able to get the emblems?"
