Monsters

“Celestia, what is happening? Why did the moon go down so early? Why are you here? Do you know where Twilight is?” Pinkie Pie said. Celestia looked to all of them with total seriousness on her face, and said “I grant you three a few days time to gather stuff together. This light is to stop the incoming forces outside of Canterlot. I’m here to tell you that Twilight is in terrible danger, and was hoping she was with you three. Rarity isn’t very far from here though. I have no idea where Twilight is though. I’m hoping she finds this sign of the elements that I came to, she needs to find you immediately.” Celestia turned around “I must return to Canterlot at once, you take care my ponies, and the best of luck on your journey.” With that Celestia flew up into the air, and started to head toward the mountain that marked Canterlot. Pinkie looked at the ground, then shot her look up to the morning sky, and shouted “RARITY, WHERE ARE YOU!.” With this Rarity came out of the nearby bushes saying “I’m here, I’m here.” She came to the clearing of all three of the others to find that Twilight nor Applejack were here. “HEY, Applejack!” Applejack came out of the same bushes Rarity emerged from, and said “Where is Twilight? We thought she was with you three.”

Twilight woke up at the bottom of the cliff to find that she was saved by a small pond of water. She looked around, and thought to herself “Why didn’t I drown in this water?” As she thought that a big creature exited a nearby cave, and walked over to Twilight. She panicked not knowing what to do she screamed, the creature continued its way over to her. It finally reached her, and said with a very calming voice “Why are you screaming little pony? I’m not here to harm.” This big creature looked like a troll, it had huge arms, big feet, and stood 7 feet tall. Twilight was only 3 feet tall, she was an ant in comparison to the towering ogre. It held out its hand, and said “All i want is a friend.” Twilight felt sorry for the creature, she could understand why nopony wanted to be its friend, it was scary. Twilight in response to her thought said “I’ll be your friend, I don’t know why others wouldn’t.”
