As the seven of us approached Ponyville, Rainbow Dash told us she had a bad feeling about Cloudsdale and took off. When we reached the library, we were all surprised to see a chariot waiting. "Princess Celestia has requested to see all of you, including the Diamond Dog. Time is of the essence." We all shared surprised glances as we climbed aboard. I asked the guard what was going on, but he just shook his head. "She will explain it when we get there." I shrugged as we began the trip to Canterlot Castle.
Through half of the ride, I decided to explain to Twilight about myself, feeling a bond of trust with her. "Twilight." She shifted her head to me. "I need to tell you, well, all of you something." Everypony zoned in on me, making me feel a little strange. I searched my head for the right way to put it, but the only way I could see was to just say 'I'm a human'. "Actually, nevermind. We're here." As they all turned to the castle, growing larger as we closed the distance.
"Celestia is in the main chamber. Please try not to wander, she wishes to see you at once." The guard said as we stepped off of the chariot. I thanked the guard and followed Twilight into the large main room. This place reminded me of Fable 3's layout, but a little larger and brighter. After many twists and turns, we appeared at the large throne room doors. "Everypony ready?" Twilight called to us. I gave her a nervous nod, as did the others, and she pushed the doors open. We couldn't believe what we saw.
"Celestia is missing!" Twilight cried out, adding to our panic. She started pacing around while I began walking to the throne. The others followed behind me, but I didn't focus in on them. I began to inspect the throne bottom up, but should have just started with the seat itself. There was a note left by Celestia. "By the time you read this, I will have been sent to the sun or somewhere nopony can reach me. At this moment, the elements of harmony won't stand a chance against Nightmare Moon, or anything for that matter. I fear we are doomed to eternal darkness, just like she always wanted." It was cutoff, most likely because she was banished in the middle of writing.
"What does it say?" Rarity said in a half-hushed voice. I think she still resents my kind...
"She has been banished to the sun or someplace where we can't get to her. She knew the elements wouldn't have worked, as well. Why can't things ever be simple around here?" My last statement made them nod in agreement, even though I thought that I kept that in my mind. "What do we do? We can't let her win!" I shouted out, startling all of them.
"I...I don't know..." I couldn't believe what Twilight just said. Feeling any hope I had slip away, I sat down in Celestia's throne.
"So that's it then...We just live under a tyrant for the rest of our lives..." The five ponies slumped down to the floor, tears filling their eyes. Seeing their faces made me wish that I could do something more to help them, but there was still one thing bothering me. Why hasn't Rainbow Dash returned yet?
