//------------------------------// // CHAPTER 1: THE BIRTH // Story: ELEMENTS OF HARMONY SECOND GENERATION // by element_of_miracle82 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 1 It was fine day in Ponyville where the ponies doing their normal live. Inside The Friendship castle, the Mane 6 sits on their throne, each of them holding their child. Twilight Sparkle stands up. "Okay, we stop our meeting here since I am pretty sure our child needs to sleep and it won't be long before our husband arrive to pick us up," said Twilight, holding little Starburst. "Wow, i can't believe we all have family together," said Pinkie. "Yeah, this is super awesome," said Rainbow. Twilight Sparkle looks at Rarity that pushes the young kirin inside the crib as Applejack licks the small earth pony that still sleeping. "How is she?" asked Twilight. "Crystal Clarity is really darling today. No crying or anything," said Rarity. "Appleshine is behaving quite well, considering she only feeds most of the time," said Applejack. Twilight Sparkle smiles. "We may need to prepare just in case any evil attacks," said Twilight. "It's been ages since we have any attacks," said Rainbow. "I know but it doesn't hurt if we prepare," said Twilight. Rainbow Dash scoffs. The princess of friendship sighs as she looks at both young kirin and small earth pony. "I really want to study them to since they are the first species in Equestria," said Twilight. "I know, darling but I don't think Spike would like it if you do that," said Rarity. "The last time those scholars from Canterlot did that, they almost died if Princess Celestia didn't calm him down," Applejack. Twilight Sparkle sighs. "You know sugarcube, you can ask him about it later." The princess of friendship looks at the farm pony. "You think he will help me?" asked Twilight. "Tai may hate anypony studied her daughters like a lab rat but I believe he has no problem explaining to you about the new species both he and I created," said Applejack. "I still have no idea the species that both of you created," said Rainbow. "You can let him explain later since they're coming to pick us up," said Applejack. The door opens as the stallions and human walk in. Appleshine opens her eyes and looks at her father that sits beside her mother. Applejack smiles. "Looks like our daughter is awake," said Applejack. Taichi picks the young earth pony. Appleshine yawns as she snuggles towards her father. Fluttershy walks towards Taichi and Applejack, holding little Flutterina. Taichi holds both of his daughters. Twilight Sparkle looks at the human. "We don't have any information about the species that you have created. I hope I can learn about that species," said Twilight. "You will learn about anthro ponies in time, Twilight," said Taichi. Twilight Sparkle sighs. Meanwhile, in Canterlot Castle, Discord looks bored as he watches Illusion sleeps inside the crib. Princess Celestia walks slowly towards her chaotic husband. "He's asleep?" asked Princess Celestia. "Of course after all crying and shouting," said Discord. Princess Celestia chuckles. "He maybe not as troubled as Princess Moon Beam since she inherits her fathers attitude more," said Princess Celestia. Discord looks at his sleeping son. "Do you think he will become a great ruler like you?" asked Discord. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure he will be as long as we teach him what he needs to know," said Princess Celestia. Discord sighs. "What if he was been make fun with because he is different from other normal ponies?" asked Discord, worrying. Princess Celestia smiles. "Don't worry, I know my son will handle it and we will make sure he can do it," said Princess Celestia. Discord smiles. Back to Ponyville, Taichi and Applejack walk towards Sweet Apple Acres. Appleshine sleeps peacefully on her father's arm. As they pass apple farm, she looks at the apple trees. "Can't wait to work my chores," said Applejack. "You will be in few days. Don't worry about it," said Taichi. "Then, I can count on you to do all my chores," said Applejack. Taichi chuckles. Both of them walk inside the barn as Applejack puts her daughter on the crib. She sighs. "I wonder what adventure awaits them," said Applejack. "We will find out in time," said Taichi. "Would we know how her character will be?" asked Applejack. "We will know in time. Right now, she is too young to show any spesific characterization," said Taichi. At the Friendship castle, Twilight Sparkle sits on the bed as the small pegasus sleeps beside her. Flash Sentri sits beside his wife. "How are they going to handle if the new enemy attacks?" asked Twilight. "I am pretty sure they can handle enemy that been thrown towards them just like you girls handle previous enemies," said Flash. At Canterlot, Princess Celestia looks at the sky. Princess Luna walks beside her sister. "What can we do if the new threatens?" asked Princess Luna. "I don't know. It is up to the elements," said Princess Celestia. Princess Luna sighs. "Tai can help but he will finds his way to help, especially her daughters," said Princess Luna. "Yeah. The only thing we can do is hope Tai can guide the new Bearer of Harmony to face their life and fight any enemy that threaten Equestria," said Princess Celestia Princess Luna nods slowly as she looks towards the moon. At Sweet Apple Acres, Taichi looks at his wife and daughter that asleep. 'I will help my daughter enjoy her childhood and train her in battle either empty handed, weapons or magic' think Taichi. He looks outside the window and straight to the moon. 'I need to figure it out how to help the new generation of Harmony. I am going to make sure they are fully prepared for the incoming battle. I just need to analyze who our enemy is and then prepare for the solution. With two of my daughter as the bearer, we should handle the enemy without any problem' thinks Taichi. Meanwhile, somewhere deep inside the Everfree Forest, nightmare essence falls to a huge egg and covers it slowly. The egg turns into dark color.
