The eldest raised the sun and bring daylight to her beloved subjects." Narrator said 'While the youngest raised the Moon and brought the night. One day the youngest refused to lower the Moon. The eldest tried to reason with her, instead, she turned into a wicked mare of Darkness called Nightmare Moon, Later who was banished to the Moon for a Thousand Years." narrator lower her voice in sadness. "That's the story we've all heard isn't that correct?? So what do you think she has been doing all those years before she became Nightmare Moon, Raising the Moon and entering dreams?" the narrator asked. "If you ask me that's kinda boring!! Let's not talk about the past anymore, let's go to the present let's see what happens." said the narrator. "Ooooh, what happened?" said a Pink mare. "PINKIE!" the narrator shouted at her. "What???, It's not my fault that I can break the fourth wall!" Pinkie pie shouted back. "For once in your life, you're right," said the narrator lowering her voice. "Can you at least tell me what's gonna happen?" questioned pinkie. "Sorry, but no. As my duty being the Narrator I mustn’t give away any spoilers!!" the narrator said giving a stern look to Pinkie "I promise I won’t tell anypony!" said pinkie. Pinkie pie watched as the Narrator sighed and said... "Do you know Princess Luna?" pinkie said with a shocking expression "Well, duh everypony in Equestria knows her! She is like the Princess Of The Night." pinkie said with a Kidding face "Well, you see, A thousand years ago she went to a World to complete a Mission. A dangerous mission to be exact!" said the narrator, "Well, every single adventure story is Dangerous." pinkie said sarcastically "Well, I don't have time chatting, I have a story to narrate," said the narrator. "In the peaceful town Ponyville, there was an ear-piercing scream in the castle of Friendship," said the narrator. "SPIKE!!!" screamed Twilight Sparkle who has given the title The Princess Of Friendship, she is also the bearer of the element of harmony Magic "I'm coming, twi!" said Twilight's #1 assistant who is a baby dragon called Spike. "We're gonna be late" shouted twilight "I still don't know why the princesses would want to meet us." questioned the little purple dragon. "I don't know either, but the letter said it was really important that we leave with the others," said Twilight "Speaking of others is she ready?" said twilight "I'm good to go!" said a purple mare with a purple mane. "I still don't know why the princesses would want me there, I mean I'm not that important..." said Starlight "Starlight, let go of the past, it doesn't matter anymore!" said twilight with a kind face "*sigh* did you tell the girls?" questioned starlight. Suddenly there was a knock on the door when Starlight reached out to see who it was, a blue party cannon blasted and made Starlight cover her with confetti. "Pinkie!" Starlight shouted at pinkie with a stressed look. "What, I can help it!" said Pinkie. "Darling, is something wrong?" rarity said with a worried expression. "It's nothing," said starlight trying to sound normal. "Well, what are we waiting for let's go" enthusiasm crossed Rainbow's eyes. "Rainbow's right, it's gettin late," said applejack. When the ponies reached the Royal Palace as usual they saw The Royal Sisters there, but a purple coated unicorn was standing by their side, everypony was wondering who might this mysterious pony be. "Princess Celestia" Twilight said as she bowed respectfully to the ruler of Equestria. "Twilight, how many times should I say not to bow," Celestia said with a grin. "I'm sorry but I can help it Princess" Twilight replied. "Pssst, Rarity do you know who that unicorn is?" whispered Pinkie "I'm not sure, but I bet she has come to help with the important mission" Rarity replied to Pinkie "Princess, may I ask you a question?" asked Twilight "Go on," Celestia said "Why did you ask us to come here?" questioned Twilight. The princesses looked at each other with a worried expression, they both looked at the Purple Unicorn. "What!? Don't look at me, Luna you're the one who asked Celestia to say this to Twilight" said the unicorn mare " I'll tell you soon enough," sighed as Princess Celestia muttered with a worried expression "Now, where were we...right!" said the Unicorn Mare "Luna, Celestia it's time...the others are waiting long enough," said the mare The Unicorn teleported the Mane 6, The Royal Sisters to the Everfree forest. "We are here," said Celestia "T-t-the Everfree forest!" muttered Fluttershy "Oh, don't worry I have cast a spell where any creature can't sense us here," said the Unicorn "Besides, I still haven't introduced myself," said the unicorn trying to start a conversation with the others while they were walking "I'm Mystic, Mystic Laura Heart," said Mystic cheerfully "Well, that's a nice name!" said Fluttershy "Thank you," said Mystic "So uh, what do you do?" Starlight questioned "Well, you see I'm a sorceress," said Mystic trying to sound brave "Oh, like Starswirl The Bearded!" said Twilight in an excited tone "You could say that, but the only difference is that I'm before him," said Mystic "Oooh...Wait what!!" screamed Twilight "How old are you!?" questioned Rainbow Dash "Rainbow Dash, It's rude to ask somepony what their age is!!" said Rarity in a manner "Oh it's fine actually," said Mystic "I'm more than 100 thousand years maybe?" "WHAT!?" Said the Mane 6 together "You're that old?" said Pinkie "I'd prefer 'Aged' thank you very much," said Mystic with a little serious expression on her face. Meanwhile, when Mystic was busy talking with the Mane 6, the princesses had a little chat with themselves. "I don't know Luna, are you sure we can do this?" questioned Celestia "I mean we're giving away one of Equestria's hidden secrets" Celestia lowed her tone to a worried one "Are you saying that you don't trust your pupil?" said Luna "No, I didn't mean it like that," Celestia said, "Besides it has been locked away as a secret long enough sister, it's time that somepony came to know about this!" Luna reasoned with her sister. Meanwhile... Starlight Glimmer who was thinking about something for a while was not starting a conversation like Mystic. *Am I even fit to be Twilight's student to be in this Mission? What if I mess up, What if I do something wrong, What if-* Starlight was interrupted by Mystic who was eager to know what she was thinking about. "So umm, I heard that you Time Travelled," Mystic said trying to start a conversation with Starlight "Yeah, it didn't work out well. It almost destroyed the Universe" Starlight said with a saddened expression on her face. "Oh," said Mystic She noticed that something is bothering the Unicorn "Is something wrong?" questioned Mystic "Nothing, just thinking about something," said Starlight "Starlight, something is bothering you, it will be easy if you say it to somepony. Wanna talk about it?" Mystic asked Starlight. "I don't see why not," said Starlight with a smile. "It's just that bothers me, I mean I may be the first pony whoever Time Travelled! Learning friendship is useful in the future, And Everypony has their place in the world and I'm the only one who doesn't have one" said Starlight. "If that's bothering you, don't worry. You're not the only one who is still trying to find their place, my Granddaughter who has no idea where her place is still trying "Mystic said trying to comfort Starlight. "What are you trying to say, exactly?" asked Starlight looking at Mystic's face. "What I'm trying to say is that Don't give up I'm pretty sure you play an important role like everypony else!" said Mystic with a grin. "We are here!" said Celestia with a nervous smile on her face. "The Castle Of The Two Sisters!" said Spike who felt a wind of fear crossing him "You just say the outside of it, the others are inside," said Luna. "Others?" asked Twilight When they went inside, they saw some ponies. Most of them were unicorns and one of them was an Alicorn. "Wait...Is that a-Alicorn?" said Twilight shocked "But, that's impossible I thought there were only 5 alicorns!" said Twilight shocked and confused. "Correction... There are 9 alicorns to be exact," said Luna correcting Twilight's sentence. Everypony was confused, they wanted an explanation. "You better tell who the hay you are or we'll fight to talk!" Rainbow said furiously. "RAINBOW!!!" Shouted Twilight to control Rainbow Dash. "Oh it's alright, besides you still haven't come to know of it," said Luna calmly "To Know Of What?" said Twilight with a confused expression. "Hey, say how about we all sit down and 'Talk' about this?" said a White bat pony. "That's...not a bad idea!" said Apple Jack. Everybody sat on the floors of the Castle, and listen to the explanation that Luna had to say "Let me start with an introduction..." said Luna "This is Sonic he is a very fast he- I mean pegasus," said Luna pointing to a Blue pegasus who had a cutie mark representing speed "This is Silver a powerful unicorn who time travels with his assistant," said Luna pointing to a white unicorn with a silver mane "This is Blaze Silver's assistant," said pointing to a Violet unicorn who had a ponytail "I'm not his Assistant!" Shouted Blaze with a slight blush. "Well, you both go time traveling together," said Celestia with a grin "This is Rose a unicorn who has a certain crush on the Speed Demon," said Luna. "Oooooooh" squealed Pinkie "This is Rouge a gem loving Bat," said Luna. "Ooh, somepony with my kind of taste," said Rarity intrigued "I see, well I also look for rare gemstones," said Rouge with a Tiny smile of proudness. "This is Knuckles, a pony who is strong and short-tempered," said Luna "And a Knucklehead," said Rouge with an evil smile. "HEY! I'm not a Knucklehead" shouted Knuckles with temper in his eyes "Yeah right!!" Luna furiously shouted "It's a thing that I- we call each other," said Celestia "This is Miles, a genius and an inventor!" said Luna with an interesting look "Oh, I wouldn't say genius," Miles Prower said puffing his shoulders "I have so many questions in my mind like... Who are these ponies? Why are we here? How can it be possible that 4 more alicorns exist? And Who is Mystic?" asked Twilight while breathing so hard that her head was going to explode. "For now I can only answer 2 questions, Well if you add Eris, Mystic, King Cosmos, and Shadow it's 9," said Luna sounding she knows what is happening. "Umm, your majesty if you haven't noticed, Mystic is a Unicorn," said Starlight conforming Luna that she is a Unicorn, not an Alicorn "Mother?" Celestia looked...at an Alicorn who had Brown and Purple moving mane who had a Golden Grown and necklace. She had Brown to golden eye color and a Cutie mark that represented the Galaxy. "How did-" said Rainbow "It's a simple spell I learned," said the Alicorn "If you are here, then where is Mystic?" Spike questioned. "I am Mystic and Queen Galaxia," said Galaxia. To Be Continued...
