chapter 1: Monks meet ponies

On a summer day in the magical land of Equestria, the castle of two sister was being fixed up a little by the mane 6, the princesses, spike, and discord. Celestia and Luna were thinking about making the castle a guest home for visiting diplomats to stay at. Discord was helping to make up for his string of bad luck with his friends lately: the plant invasion that made the girls give up elements, faking being sick to hang out with Twilight, the betrayal with Tirek, and the gala fiasco. They said they forgave him, but he can’t forgive himself for what he did to them, especially to Celestia and Flutter Shy, he has a crush on Celestia. He long to embrace her with his love.

He wanted sing to her about the love he felt every time they were together. To brush her exquisite mane. Feel the sweet sensation of her royal lips. Only Flutter Shy knew about the crush and she kept it secret from the others. Discord wanted to confess his love to her, but he thought he didn't deserve her because of what he had done.

In castle, they hard at work. Rarity was stitching up the old, ripped tapestries. Applejack work on fixing the trap doors, so no one gets hurt, (I’m not using nopony, everypony, anypony, or somepony). Pinkie Pie was washing the floors with Spike. Discord was dusting the upper windows. Cadence was shining up the suits of armor. Twilight was tending to books in the old library. Flutter Shy was dusting the elements pedestal with her animals. The two sisters were tinting up the bed chambers. Rainbow was using rain clouds to wash to rooftops.

In the Throne room Rarity was on Luna's old thrown, sewing up the tatter sun tapestry that was hanging over Celestia's thrown. "Aw, seaming up an ancient piece of royal art for your friends, always can help your heart," Rarity said to herself.
Discord was dusting in the same room elements room with Flutter Shy. "Oh Shy, I don't know what to do about Celestia," Discord said while dusting the top windows.

"Well if I said it once I'll said it again, just talk to her," Flutter Shy said to her reformed friend, "And you weren't exactly subtle when you gave that bouquet of, what did you call them again, 'Friendship Blossom.'

"I know, but I just can't say, 'Hey Celestia, I've loved you for a long time, want to go out,' Discord said his shy friend.
Angle Bunny chatter to F.S. "Angle thinks you should tell her," Flutter translated.

In the east wing bed chamber the sister were making the bed nice and elegant. Celestia was thinking about Discord. She had a crush on him. She long for the chaotic feel of his lips. Luna was the only one who knew, and she was supported all the way for her. Celestia wanted to fly with Discord on the night time breeze of love every time they were close.

"Luna, what am I'm going to do about Discord?" Celestia said as she was levitation a golden colored blanket on to the old bed.

"Look Tia, just tell Discord the next time you two are alone," Luna told her older sister while smiling, "Don't miss out on love, like I did with Sombra."

All of the sudden the ground started to shake. "Whoa, what's happening?!" Spike asked while vibrating.

"Earthquake! Everyone into the Throne room!" Twilight yelled as teleporting to the Throne room.

When she got to the Throne room, the others were already there. "Everyone came close to us," Cadence said through of the vibrations. They all huddled together as the four princesses put a protective barrier around them. During the earthquake Discord felt a magical disturbance coming from the library.

The ground was shaking with great strength, and while it was happening green, red, and purple lights were shooting out of the library. The lights faded away as the earth quake just all of the sudden stopped.

"I think it stopped," Celestia said to everyone while Discord was holding her hoof with his eagle's claw, "Uh, Discord, can you let go of my hoof?" She asked while blushing lightly. They were very close to each other during the quake, she could feel his beard lightly tickling her ear the whole time.

"Oh right, sorry," he said as let go of her hoof while they were lowering the shield. He back away from her.
"Uh, Discord why are your horns buzzing?" Applejack asked when she was point to his horns.

"I'm feeling a magical disturbance coming from the library," Discord said as his horns stopped the buzzing, "Come on," he said as he ran to the stairs as the others followed him up the stairs.

They walked up the steps and heard a deep male voice coming from the library, "Spicer, what did your bloody invention do this time, you idiot!?!"

"Oh sure, blame me for something that Wuya did to the machine that spent my whole life creating and safety proofing so it doesn't blow up in my face, Chase," a squeaky male voice.

They ran through the hallway into the library. When they got inside they saw something insane. They saw ten odd looking ponies and two small, snake-like, dragons. There were three earths, two unicorn, and two zebra-like changelings, an alicorn mare, and cat looking pony.

A tall, well built, muscular stallion about the same height as Big Mac. The stallion had sky blue eyes, daffodil coat, sandy blond mane and tail, and bronze gantlet for a cutie mark. He had a 9 and half-gallon cowboy hat with a blue ribbon, a dark red robe with black sleeves and blue sash, and scarlet red scarf.

A short, bald colt with a huge head, nine dots on his fore head, pineapple yellow coat, black eyes, and light blue orb for cutie mark. He was wearing the same robe. The girls were amazed at the size of his head.

A smaller colt, who look almost exactly like the other yellow colt. He had green glasses with red swirls. He wore almost the same exact robe like the other, but he had a black sash. He had no cutie mark on his flank.

One of the two unicorns was a stallion. He had a coat as white as snow, he was kind of skinny for a male of his age, red spiky mane and tail, black eye and eye paint spike on the left eye, he had a gear for a cutie mark. He was wearing a pure black trench coat and yellow goggles.

The unicorn mare had a black raven mane in a ponytail and tail, pure white coat, sky blue eyes, and a golden star with a round ruby in the center for a cutie mark. He wore the robe with blue sash like the two earth ponies were wearing. She seemed limber and flexible.

A changeling stallion, who was kind of handsome. He had a long raven black mane and tail with a lizard green tint and had like a hair spike pointing down, his eyes were like the most awesome shade of yellow with hypnotic lizard eyes, and his cutie mark was a golden canister with strange markings on it. His attire was like punk rock battle armor with a metal belt with a lizard eye design on it and a canister that looked like his cutie mark tied to his armor's torso.

A changeling mare with a long light midnight blue mane and tail, sea foam green lizard eyes, and her cutie mark was a dark blue cutlass. She wore the same armor as the stallion was but in purple and gold and she had a dark purple head band with a Yin Yang symbol in the center.
A pegasus stallion with light brown coat, greens eyes, a dark brown mane and tail, and a golden sword with a black handle for a cutie mark. He wore black and red robes with a dragon print on them.

The alicorn was tall light brown mare with black eyes with black paint on each eye, long fluffy red mane and tail, and a mask with yellow eyes, red pointy nose, and light purple cheeks for a cutie mark. The mare was wearing a blackish purple dress with dark reddish-purple sash.

One of the dragons was a male who had green scale and had black eyes. The other was red female that much smaller than the male dragon. The red female dragon the female unicorn's head.

The cat pony was a mare with dirty blond hair, claws, and black fur and tail like a panther, and had green cat eyes, also had cat's eye gem for a cutie mark.

They all just stood there in silence for what seemed like hours, waiting someone broke the ice. And so the adventure begins.
