Last part is Strife's POV
Sorry this is so short

"How?" Sunset Shimmer choked.

Twilight Sparkle shrugged. "Maybe he made a portal and took them from the human world?"

"Horses?" asked Luna. "What are horses?"

When she didn't get an answer, she tugged at her sister's tail. "What are horses?"

"I don't know," whispered Celestia. "Twilight saw something and flew down, and the next thing we knew she was telling us to go back."

The younger filly shuddered at the thought of what they could be, then stared at her sister, gasping. "Celestia, your mane!"

"What about it?" she asked, raising a hoof and grabbing a section of her mane, staring in shock as she noticed a sparkling blue stripe standing out in the pink. "What? How did that get there?"

Twilight glanced at them. "Oh," she muttered casually. "that's just a side effect of being an Alicorn."

"But you don't-"

"Oh, I dye it so it doesn't look too out of the ordinary."

She raised a hoof and lifted her bangs up, revealing a few blue and yellow parts underneath. Celestia raised an eyebrow. "Out of the ordinary? Half of the ponies in Ponyland have rainbow hair!"

"I'm from the future. Natural selection."

"So," asked Sunset. "should we go and see about them?"

Twilight shook her head. "They're freaky. I just hope they didn't see us flying back. I don't want them to find us."

Sunset laughed. "They're not that bad, you know! I rode one once, the human Lyra Heartstrings is obsessed with them, they're-"

"I don't care. They're freaky."

Sunset sighed. "I guess you're right. And we don't know why they're here."

"What are horses?" whined Luna.

"They're-" began Twilight. "They're- well, they're sort of like ponies, but........They're animals. They can't talk, and they can't hold things, and they have these weird little solid parts on the ends of their hooves, and they don't have Cutie Marks...."

"Weird...." muttered Rainbow Dash. "So, I guess we'll have to find plants to eat."

Kimono nodded. "We should head off now."

Twilight Sparkle started trotting forward and the others followed. "So," muttered Sunset. "What do you think we should do about the horses?"

"Get as far away from them as possible."

"The human Lyra told me about how they can track ponies. We should at least go and see if there are any ponies among them."

"No. I don't like them."

"They're not that aggressive-"

"I don't care. They're unnatural. End of discussion."

Sunset sighed. "I guess you're right. Hey, I think I can smell something. Over here!"

She galloped over to the side. The others followed to find her standing under an apple tree. "Bingo!" muttered Luna before turning to her sister. "Go get some down."

"Why me?"

"Because life is like a game of chess, and white goes first."

Celestia rolled her eyes, flying up to shake the branches and smiling as she saw Sweetie Belle levitating some of them down with her magic. She flew down and looked Twilight dead in the eye.

"Teach me magic."

Hmmm, so they used the Elements of Harmony to escape........That means they represent the Elements.................

Time for some fun.

Not bad. You need to work more on your description though.
