Twilight was heading towards the library. After Cerilio started fighting Nightmare moon, she didn't stick around for the whole fight. Before they went to the city hall, Cerilio told her that if Nighmare Moon turned out to be real, he would keep her busy while she would go back to the library and find out more about the elements. Twilight was hesitant to go with Cerilio's plan but he told her that he has fought dangerous enemies before.

With Spike on her back, who was still unconscious, she dashed her way towards the library. After arriving at her destination, she went upstairs to put Spike to sleep. "You've been up all night Spike. You are a baby-dragon after all," she said to him. She turned off the lights and went back downstairs to find a book about the elements. She needed to find it and the Elements of Harmony since that was her only hope of stopping Nightmare Moon. She began to tear the place upside down, leaving no book unread.

"Elements, elements, elements....ugh! How can I stop Nighmare Moon without the Elemets of Harmony?!" she said in a frustrated and stressed tone. About a second later Rainbow Dash and the rest of the gang entered. "And just what are the Elements of Hramony? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy?" Rainbow began to interrogate the poor mare.

Just then Cerilio entered the library and boy did he looked awful. His face was filled with bruises and his armor still had the burn mark were Nightmare Moon blasted him with magic. His cape was also torn a bit. Rainbow Dash turn towards him and came very close to his face. "And you! What the hay was that back there? You covered her in snow while it's still summer! Are you some kind of creature who can control the weather?! Are you a spy aswell?!" she aslo interrogated him, but was yanked by the tale by Applejack

"Simmer down, Sally. They ain't no spy. But they do know what's going on. Don't you?" Applejack noted and everypony gathered around Twilight and Cerilio.

"I have read all about the prediction of Nighmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her. But I don't know what they are, where to find them, I don't even know what they do!" she explained. whlie she was explaining, Pinkie walked to one of the bookshelfs.

"Before we went to the city hall, I told Twilight that if Nightmare Moon turned out to be real, I would keep her distracted while she went and find out more about these 'Elements of Harmony'. That is why I went and fought her," Cerilio added.

"The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide." All eyes went to Pinkie Pie. Twilight immediately went over there and pushed the pink pony out of the way.

Cerilio just facepalmed. "When you're under pressure, the simplest of things becomes complicated," he mutter to himself. Twilight levitated the book to the group and started to read.

"There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now," she stops for a moment before reading the last part, "the Everfree Forest."

"THE EVERFREE FOREST!" the five ponies shouted in horror. Cerilio knew it was a dangerous place since it was there he fought those Thimberwolves to save Applejack's little sister, so he could understand their fear. But the fate of this world hanged in the balance and if they ever want to get their princess back.

They were now standing at the entrance of the forest. The fear of everpony present varried form a little to being out right terrifried, except for Pinkie Pie who was eager to go in for some reason. Cerilio was wearing his serious expresion as he ready himself. "Whee! let's go!" Pinkie said full of excitement and started to walked.

"Not so fast." Twilight said, causing Pinkie to stop in her tracks, "Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own."

"Twilight are you carzy?" Cerilio was the first to say something, "There is no way in hell that I'm letting you go in there alone, not after experiencing what's in there."

"Cerilio's right, we sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple," Applejack said with a determine tone as Rainbow, Rarity and Fluttershy followed her into the forest.

"Especially if there's candy apples in there!" Pinkie said. Cerilio and Twilight just stood there, their understandment of the her dropping even more. "What? Those things are good!" She said as she followed the rest into the forest.

"Let's go Twilight. We got a world and a princess to save," Cerilio said as he began to enter the forest.

Twilight sighed and followed them in and after catching with them she took the lead. After a while of walking in silence Twilight broke it with a question. "So none of you have been in here before?"

"Heavens no!" Rraity answered her and you can hear the terror in her tone. "Just looked at it! It's dreadful!" she pointed to the scenery around them.

"And ain't natural. Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria," Applejack added.

"Nopony knows,~" Rainbow Dash started to tell like someone telling a ghost story, "You wanna know why?" she ask causing Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to shiver in fear

"Because everypony who's come in, has never. Gone. Out!" Berfore anyone could say something, the ground they were standing on broke. Everyone screamed as they began to slide down the rocky cliff except for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy since they could fly.

"Fluttershy! Quick!" Rainbow shouted and Fluttershy didn't need to be told twice. Rainbow manage to grab Pinkie and Fluttershy pulled rarity by her tail and she stopped rolling down the hill. Applejack manage to grab on a root. Cerilio pierced his lance into the cliff, stopping his roll as he hold on to it. He wanted to reach Twilight but she slide to fast for him to grab her. She kept on sliding until she reach the cliff's edge and was hang on for dear life.

Applejack let go of the root she was hanging and slide towards her. "Hold on, Ah'ma comin'" she said. Cerilio released his lance and aslo slide towards her aswell. They both made it to her and garb hold of her. Applejack has holding her left hoof with her hoofs and Cerilio was holding her right hoof with his hand.

Applejack began to wonder what to do. Then her eyes went to the sky and then back to Twilight. Cerilio saw this aswell and and know what Twilight had to do.

"No Twilight, believe her. She knows what she's talking about," Cerilio tried to reassure her, but she was not believing them.

"Now listen here. What Ah'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go and you'll be safe."

"Twilight trust her." With both of them reassuring her, she let go. She screamed as she was falling, but long after she was caught by Rainbow and Fluttershy and began lowering her safely to the ground. While they were carrying her, Applejack and Cerilio were decending from the side of the cliff.

"Is everybody ok?" Cerilio asked them and they all nod. "Yes we're all okay, just scrapes from rolling down the hill," Rarity told him and he nods as they continue on their journey. Unkown to them it was Nightmare Moon who caused the cliff to break in her mist form. Seeing that this failed, she went and prepare her next trap in order to stop them.

"And once Rarity and Pinkie were safe, WOOSH! Me and Fluttershy loop-de-loop around and whem! Caught right in the nick of time," Rainbow Dash was telling them what just happend a few minutes ago as they continue on their journey, much to the displeasure of Twilight.

"Yes Rainbow, I was there. And I'm very gratefull, but we gotta stay focus on what were looking for," Twilight told her.

"Yes, you don't have to keep repeating the same－" Cerilio caught off when they heard a stomp. They looked where the sound came from and there, was a huge beast with a lion head and body, dragon wing and a bih scorpion tail.

"A Manticore!" Twilight in a sense answered him as the beast bellowed a roar. Cerilio quickly stood infront of them. "All of you stay behind me! I'll handle it," he told them and they did what he said. Fluttershy didn't want him to fight the monster since she saw something worng with it. Putting his lance aside, he grab his magic bow and shoot two arrows at the beast. The Manticore dodge the arrows and let out another roar. It began to charge at the holy knight and then jump high in the air to attack from above. Cerilio let a smirk come on his face.

"Big mistake," Cerilio said as he cast a Excalibur that caught the Manticore in the air and spun him around before throwing it to a nearby tree. The ponies meanwhile looked with awe as the fight rage on. His display of reason magic was fascinating to them.

His magic just keeps on suprising me! First was his lighting magic that he somehow made into a beam and now he's casting some sort of wind magic that created a tornado! Twilight thought to herself. Rainbow Dash was completly dumfounded.

"He can control the wind and make tornados too?!" she said. Cerilio thought he defeated the beast so he walked back to the group. "Done and done," he said, still having a smirk on his face. But a roar caught him by suprise and he looked behind. The Manticore stood up and ready itself again to charge.

"When are you going to give up?" Cerilio asked him, becoming a little irritated, and was answered with a roar. The beast began to run towards him. Cerilio prapared to cast another spell, this time Seraphim.

"Wait," Fluttershy tried again but was still unheard by Cerilio as he was about to cast the spell. The Manticore agian began to charge at him.

"WAIT!" Fluttershy shouted stopping both Cerilio and the Manticore. She approached the Manticore. The beast was about to attack her but stop when she began to speak. "Shhhh..... Its okay," she assured the creature and started to nuzzle his paw. This caught the Manticore of guard for a second, before it showed her a rather large splinter sticking out of his paw. "Oh, you poor, poor little baby."

"Now this might hurt for just a second" Fluttershy said, pulling the splinter out of his paw. This caused the Manticore to pick her up and roar. Cerilio was ready to cast the spell and save her. However, the Manticore started licking Fluttershy.

"Aw you're just a little ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are." Fluttershy kept playing with him and the group walked past it.

How did she knew that it was a splinter that caused him to attack us in blind pain and rage? Cerilio asked himself. He walked past the Manticore still wondering what just happened. Twilight stayed behind to wait for Fluttershy to talk to her. "How did you know about the thorn?"

"I didn't. Sometime we all just need shown a little kindness," Fluttershy told her as she walked past by her.

The group of six ponies and one human continue on their journey deeper into the forest. The deeper they went, they began to feel more creeped out. The scenery around them didn't help either, becoming more Darker and the trees began to block the moonlight.

"I beginning to think that this forest rivals the Sealed Forest in creeping people out," Cerilio said. The ponies gave him a confused look.

"What is this 'Sealed Forest'?" Twilight asked him, wondering just what was he talking about. Cerilio just smirked and began to tell. "The Sealed Forest is a forest just like this one back in my homeland. There are some myths and legends about the place, some saying that it was sealed by the goddess or something like that. But what I can tell is that when I set foot in there, it creep the hell out of me."

"There was some kind of problem with a few demonic beasts running wild in there."

"Yes, demonic beast. Anyways, lord Hubert and General Eisner ask me if me and my battalion would join them and since we had nothing to do that day, we volunteered. Long story short, they were dealt with and we suffer only minor injuries."

The ponies were intrigue by his tale, especialy Rainbow. "Sounds awesome, just go out there to kick some monsteres flank."

"And it explain how manage to handle those Timberwolves and that Manticore since you already had dealt with those type of monsters before," Applejack complimented him to which he smiles.

"How many times were you needed to fight demonic beasts?" Rainbow asked him. Cerilio thought for a moment before answering. "I think that was my only time I fought demonic beasts. Most of the time I was 'bandit hunting', did daily patrols or was sent to supress a rebelion," he replied to her, still not telling them about the war and that he fought in it. He just wants to forget about it and, like Sothis said, start a new life here after they deal with Nightmare Moon.

While Cerilio was telling them of his experiance, they didn't notice that they were now deep in the forest until they looked around them. The moon light was completly blocked by the trees and bushes and the ground was getting more muddy as they walked.

"Uh, Ah think Ah step in somethin'," Applejack said looking at her hooves wich were covered in mud. Fluttershy screamed, but is wasn't because of the mud. "It's just mud," Applejack told her as she walked into a nearby tree. She saw it had a scary looking face for some reason and she let a yelp out and jumped back. The group then looked around and saw that all the trees had scary faces. They panicked and started to run in every direction, except for Cerilio and Pinkie Pie.

"What happened to all that bravery you guys had?" Cerilio asked, while Pinkie was laughing at the trees and making funny to them. This made the pancking ponies to stop screaming and looked in her direction.

When I was a little filly and the sun was going down

The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown

I'd hide under my pillow
From what I thought I saw
But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way
To deal with fears at all

She said: "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall
Learn to face your fears
You’ll see that they can’t hurt you
Just laugh to make them disappear."

Ha! Ha! Ha!

In response of her laughter, the scary faces vanished, leaving just a normal tree. Everypony gasped and Cerilio eyes went wide. Just how did she know?

So, giggle at the ghostly
Guffaw at the grossly
Crack up at the creepy
Whoop it up with the weepy
Chortle at the kooky
Snortle at the spooky

As she sang the group started to laugh, even Cerilio, and in doing so the faces of the trees began to disappear one by one.

And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh...

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh!

At once, all the remaing scary faces disappeared and everypony fell on their back and laughed. Cerilio was holding on to his lance and aslo laughing. After a moment they got up and continue on thier way, still laughing and Pinkie hopping infornt of them. Cerilio stopped laughing but he still had a smile on his face.

It wasn't long before the group came against another obstacle. Infront of them was a river so trubelent, it made crossing it impossible. "How are we gonna cross this?" Pinkie asked. Before any suggestion can be made, they heard a someone sobbing in the distance. Heading to where the sobbing was coming form the group found a huge serpent like creature. The creater was unintentionally causing the river to be trubelent.

"Well, I don't know. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whisked past me and tore half of my beloved mustache clean off," he explained and pointed at the what was left of the cut mustache. "and now I look simply horrid." he finished with over dramatic fall into the river and soaking the entire group in the process. Cerilio facepalmed. He couldn't believe that all that crying was about a mustache.

Why, of course it is. How can you be so insensitive? Oh, just look at him. Such lovely luminescent scales" Rarity said, as she walked toward and try to cheer him up.

"I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected!" Rarity said as if she was swearing an oath. With that she looked at Cerilio and pulled his silver sword out with her magic, which caught him completely by suprise. "Hey! What the?!" he shouted, but was ignored.

"Rarity what are you－" Twilight tried to asked but never finished as she and the other saw her slit the sword through the air. This cause everyone to gasped and the serpent to fainted because Rarity slit her own tail off! She then drop the sword and picked the cut tail up with her magic and levitated it to the serpent before attaching it to where the mustache used to be. This made the serpent cheer with joy.

"Oh Rarity, your beautiful tail," Twilight looked at her tail with worry. It was much shorter now, but Rarity didn't let it bother her. "It's fine my dear. Short tails are in this season. Besides, it'll grow back," she assured her.

"So would the mustache," Rainbow whisper to Twilight. Cerilio went and grab his sword before giving Rarity a stern look. "Rarity, never, EVER, grab my sword like that again! A silver sword is not something you can just use with no proper training. This time I'll let it slide since you just used to cut your tail of, but you still could of hurt yourself! Next time just ask me, understood?" he said in his commanding voice. Rarity smiles sheepishly. "Heh heh, sorry about that dear." Cerilio let's a out sigh and sheated his sword before heading to the river which calm down and was crossable.

"We can cross now! Let's go!," Twilight excitedly said and began to cross before the serpent lifted her out of the water. "Allow me!" he said and made a brige with his body for them to cross. They hopped and crossed. "Thank you!" Cerilio told the serpent.

They continue to walked and they were in high spirits. So far every obstacle they came across, they manage to overcome it and in doing so they were closing in on their destination. After a short moment of walking, Cerilio was first to see the ruin of a castle. "I see ruins of a castle up ahead!" he said. Twilight was the next to see it as well. "There it is! The ruins that hold the Elements of Harmony. We made it!" She then bolted her way towards it leaving the rest of the group behind.

"Twilight! Wait for us!" Applejack shouted to her and the group ran after her. "Where almost there," Twilight said before she fell forwards. In her rush to get to the ruins, she didn't notice that the bridge was out. She's hanging on, struggling to get herself back up. Cerilio grabed her by the tail and pulled her back. "I think you have a thing for cliffs."

They looked at chasm that separating them and their destination. "Now what?! Pinkie asked.

"Duh." Rainbow flapped her wings to make her point clear then flew to the other side. The rest waited. And waited. And waited. "She sure is taking her sweet time," Cerilio commented. Twilight was also growing inpantient and walked over the edge. "Rainbow! What taking so long?" she yelled across the chasm. When the fog began to clear and there stood rainbow with three pegasus dressed in purple and black flight suits, with lightning yellow borders.

"Oh no, Rainbow!" Twilight shouted, getting the attention of the one in the middle who's eyes flashed and the fog became denser. "Don't listen to them!" Twilight shouted. Cerilio threw two winds into the fog but it did nothing to it. He was about throw more but stopped as Rainbow Dash came flying to them, the bridge behind her fixed. The group began to cheer and cross the chasm.

"See? I never leave my friends hanging," came the reply from the cyan mare. Cerilio smiled at her to which she smiled back.

They enter the ruins and looked around them. The place looked like it had seen better days. In the center stood a great monument that held up five stone spheres, each carved with a different shape.

"Come on, Twilight," Applejack invited, "isn’t this what you’ve been waitin’ for?"

"The Elements of Harmony! We found them!" she cheered. Rainbow and Fluttershy flew and brought the Elements the them. "Carefull, carefull..."

"The book said, when the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth Element to be revealed" Twilight retold them what was in the book.

"I'm not sure, but I have an idea. Stand back. I don't know what will happen" Twilight said, as her horn began to glow and she began to concentrate. "Come on now, y'all. She needs to concentrate" Applejack said and the five went to leave. Applejack looked at Cerilio

"I'll stay with her, somebody has to gaurd her. Don't worry I won't distract her," Cerilio told her. She nods and went with back to the group. As Twilight was focusing, Cerilio notice a dark blue mist float towards the elements. It then turned into a twister, sending the elements in the air. Twilight and Cerilio stood there unsure what to do for a moment.

"Twilight hold on!" Cerilio quicly went to grab her but both of them and the tornado disappear, teleporting them to another place within the ruins. They both coughed from the dust that came after they were teleported. As they got up and looked where they where, they saw Nightmare Moon infront of them with the elements hovering aroun her as she let out a sinister chuckle.

"Well well well, looked who it is," she said, looking at both of them with an evil smirk on her face. "Did you really thought that I would simply let you get your hooves on the things that can stop me achieving my eternal night?" She laughed. Cerilio took his fighting stance and ready his lance.

"Twilight, get the Elements while I battle her," he muttered to her, then brought his atention back to Nightmare Moon. "And didn't I told you, you had to go trough me?" he said to alicorn.

"You may have caught me off guard the first time, but this time don't expect to be so lucky," she told him and both eyed each other for a moment as she again made a sword of magic. Then they charge at each other, before they clashed. Nightmare was the first to strike but Cerilio parried it before taking his own swing at her. Nightmare moved out of the way, spining aroun him and swing her sword at him. Cerilio jumped away casting Nosferatu at her. it did little damage but it gave him some needed energy to continue fighting.

As the battle rage, Twilight made her way towards the elements, making sure that Nightmare didn't notice her. She tried again to ignite the so called 'spark', but was having a hard time concetrating with ongoing fight.

Meanwhile, the Fight between the alicorn and the holy knight continue. Nightmare tried the same tactic she used to disarm Cerilio and agian he was disarmed, but before she could blast him with magic he warp out of the way. When he reappered he grab his Levin sword and raised it in the air. This caused lighting that came out of nowhere to stike Nightmare, sending to the wall. He warp to Twilight to see how the progess with the elements was going.

Nightmare meanwhile recovered form the lighting blast the Cerilio struck her with. She teleported to them right when she was able to ignite a spark. Said spark however struke her and she was flung back, but the elements were glowing.

"No! No!" Nightmare Moon said with fear. Twilight let a smirk came on her face but it was to early to celebrate. The elemets stopped glowing, making twilight gasped. "But, where is the sixth element?!" Twilight began to panic. Nightare started to laugh and raised her hooves in the air and slaming them in to the ground, shattering the elements into pieces. Both Cerilio and Twilight looked horrified at what happended. But that didn't stop Cerilio from wanting to continue the fight, his honor dictated that he fight to his last breath to protect the inocent of this world. But before he could even take his fighting stance, Nightmare Moon blasted him with magic sending him flying a few feet away.

"You pathetic foals, thinking you could defeat me?" she mocked. Cerilio got up on his knees, Holding on his Levin sword. "Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night will last forever!" Nightmare Moon finished with an evil laugh.

"No!" Cerilio finaly stood up. "I refuse to give up!" He looked at Nighmare Moon. "As long as I draw breath, I will not stop fighting! Even tho I just met these ponies the have become dear to me, and I will not see them perish because of you. SO BRING IT ON!

Cerilio's speech thouch Twilight very much and started to have some hope. As Cerilio was ready to make his last stand, both he and Twilight heard the voices of the five ponies who accompenied her all the way hear. When she heard them, a spark ignited within her and she turn her gaze towards Nightmare Moon.

"You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong. Because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony, are right here!" She shouted, as she was joined by Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

The shards of the the of the shattered elements began to float and went over to the ponies. This suprised Nightmare Moon. "What?" she became scared as this happened.

"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of Honesty!" Some of the shrads went around Applejack.

"Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion when Cerilio's brute force didn't defeat him, represents the spirit of Kindness!" Some of the shrads went around Fluttershy.

"Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of Laughter!" Some of the shards went around Pinkie Pie.

"Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of Generosity!" Some of the shrads went around Rarity.

"And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of loyalty!" You get the idea by now.

"You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work!" Nightmare Moon said, still hoping that she will win.

“But it did… a different kind of spark!” Twilight corrected as she faced the others, smiling at them all as they smiled at her.
“I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you.” She then looked at Cerilio. "And Cerilio, his determination to keep fighting for us, to never give up, even tho he barely knew us, his action helped me understand something. That all of you, are my friends!" Cerilio's armor began to shine brightly. Twilight looked back at Nightmare Moon.

"You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements and their action, includings Cerilio's, are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of Magic!" She said as a magic aura engulfed her and all her friends and the shards formed into necklaces around their necks while the Element of magic became a crown. Cerilio's armor shined even more brighter and he felt his strength and magic get a huge boost. He began to charged his most powerfull Abraxas he ever casted. The pones started to move closer together and then unleahsed massive rainbow beamed from them and towards Nightmare Moon. Cerilio then cast his spell and a heavenly light came down .

"NOOOOOOO!" Nightmare Moon shouted as the rainbow beam surrounded her and the Abraxas came down upon her creating a massive flash.

"Ugh, my head," Rainbow groaned as she stood up, a bit dizy. The others aslo began to stand up.

"No. Your necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark!" Fluttershy pointed at the necklace around her neck.

"What?" Rarity looked at it, the at her cutie mark at it confirm what Fluttershy told her. She notice that Fluttershy aslo had a necklace with her cutie mark on it and pointed this out to her. "So does yours." Soon, everypony began to admire their necklace. Except Twilight who had a crown. Then the ponies heard a groan and looked in it's direction. It was Cerilio and he was getting up.

"Did we win?" He asked but didn't get a response. The ponies were staring at jis armor. "Uh, is something wrong?"

"Yeah! it has a wierd symbol on it," Pinkie pointed. Cerilio took a look at his armor. It looked like it was brand knew, all polish and shiny and his the tear on the cape was gone. But what he saw on his chest plate is what surprised and confused him.

But before he could say anything, Applejack jumped infornt of him. "Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship," she said to Twilight.

"Indeed you do," a voice spoke and the sun began to rise. Then a orb of light began to take form and decended toward the group, letting out a bright shine. Out of it Cerilio saw a much bigger pony with wings and a horn. The ponies bowed.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, relief to see her mentor safe and she went to her and they embraced each other.

"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it" Celestia said happily.

"But, you told me it was all an old pony tale" Twilight asked, confused to why she said she could do it.

"I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. But it looks like another source came to help aswell," She said and looked at Cerilio. "You may rise young knight." Cerilio rose and stood at atention.

"I come from a world named Fodland. Someone named Sothis was the one who sent me here and told me that this world needed me. I was goining to see if I could ask you your majesty, if you could know something."

"Well Cerilio, your assistance is greatly appreciated and I thank you. As for your question, I don't know this Sothis, but I think your presence here may change things for the better," She told him and he nods. Celestia then looked where Nightmare Moon was, there was a smaller alicorn with light blue caot, and she went to her. "Princess Luna!"

Luna let out a gasp as she came closer, but Celestia simply stayed calm and spoke softly. "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this," she knelt down, "Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister."

"Sister?" Rainbow and Twilight asked in shock. Celestia stood up, still looking at her sister. "Will you accept my friendship?" she asked her. Luna didn't response for a moment beofre she sprung into her sister embarce. '"I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!" came her reply and both of them had tears in their eyes. "I missed you too," Celestia said.

Then they heard Pinkie sobbing loudly before stopping all of a sudden. "Hey, you know what this calls for?"

They were now back in Ponyville were ponies all over came to celebrate the return of princess Luna. They stood to the sides as both of them came in a carriage and the crowd cheered. Two pegasus fillies gave her a necklace of flower. Everypony was enjoying the moment. All but Twilight who had a sad face.

This did not go unnotice by the princess. "Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?" She asked her.

"That's just it" Twilight responded, turning to look at her friends as they looked at sad at her. "Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them" She said, still having a sad look on her face.

Celestia simply smiled. "Spike, take a note please," Spike quickly took out a quill and paper. "I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home, in Ponyville." She paused and looked at Cerilio. "And as she continue to her studies, she and the Elements of Harmony will be guarded by Cerilio, Equestria's first holy knight."

The reaction was immediately. Twilight aswell as her new friends started to cheer. "Oh thank you, Princess Celestia! I'll study harder than ever before!" Twilight said happily,

"Princess, I'll protect these ponies with my life. I swear on the double headed eagle of Adrestia and on my honor as a holy knight," Cerilio said with complete determination, and with a smile. His declarition was met with cheers aswell, even tho they didn't understand the 'double headed eagle of Adrestia' part. They all grouped hugged. Cerilio was looking forward to his knew home and new mission.

"His presence will change things indeed princess. For better and for worse," she said before taking a more serious look. "Be strong holy knight, the path ahead is fiiled with challenges. But do not let this ruin your chance at a new life. Be safe."
