The Roman Pony

Chapter 3

Twilight ran as fast as her hooves could carry her through the Everfree Forest, she could hear the echoing laughter chasing after her... In her head she continued to remember the words that Princess Celestia told her. Find the center, that’s where you can escape...

Twilight kept running, she could have sworn she heard the sounds of wings flying right above her, but she didn’t have time to check. Then she saw it, a wide grin across her face... Just as Princess Celestia had told her it would looking, on the side of a mountain, there would be a swirling vortex.

Princess Celestia hadn’t had time to explain next before Twilight had to run. She knew Discord was toying with her, any moment he could have just snapped his claws and she’d be in the jail with all the other ponies... The last thing that the princess could utter was

“Find the elem-” And that’s when Twilight had to run, she couldn’t teleport, Discord had rendered her horn useless. She stood in front of the portal, looking back, not only was Discord there, but so were several other vicious looking beast. An Ursa Minor, a few griffins, all under the control of Discord.

Twilight looked back to the portal, she swallowed hard, then jumped in. She hadn’t been sure if this was what she was supposed to do, but without her magic, she would have been killed off or tossed in prison.
