This story is a sequel to [Misplaced]

Long ago, the goddess Harmony created seven artifacts, made to combat the darkness that threatened her world. These Elements represented the most powerful positive feelings she and her ponies could muster. But lately, the Elements of Harmony were separated from their chosen Bearers, and darkness once more threatens the balance of Equestria.

But like any good goddess, Harmony has a backup plan.

(This story takes place in the same continuity and at the same time frame as New Family, and is intended as a companion story to that one. Either can be read without the other, but reading both will give you a few hints of a bigger picture.)
