Twilight Sparkle paced back and forth, staring at the ground and mumbling to herself. The stopped, glanced at the three waiting ponies, then went back to her pacing. Her horn glowed and books began to fly of the shelves at her, the would flip through them and toss them to the side as quickly as they came to her.
While flipping through one book she stopped suddenly and turned back a few pages, rereading a passage. She slammed the book shut and turned to the waiting ponies.
"You three are not normal pegasai." She said slowly. The others looked to each other in confusion. Twilight continued. "This book tells of an ancient prophecy in which three pegasai of the three great clans would fight as one to stop a great evil. She turned to Rainbow Dash. "You said that your family is directly related to Commander Hurricane, correct?"
"Yeah, on my dad's side." Rainbow replied. "Why?"
"Rainbow Dash, you are a member of the Spectrum clan. They invented rainbows, Dash. They were a peaceful clan that held a lot of power within the Pegasus senate because of their wealth."
Twilight turned to Lightning Dust. "The Spectrum clan was rivals with the Thunder clan. They were aggressive and violent, and it is actually their work that led to the pegasai being run under martial law for centuries. Commander Hurricane managed to take over, however. I assume that if we traced back your lineage it would lead straight to the Thunder clan."
Spitfire spoke up. "So how do I fit into all of this, princess?"
"Spitfire, Celestia knighted you a few years back, didn't she?"
"Yeah, I'm a knight."
"How did she address you when you were knighted?"
"Lady Spitfire of the Embers. I thought she was just making something up to sound all official."
"The Embers were a sub-section of the Meteor Clan. They were basically responsible for keeping the other clans at peace because they had a powerful magic to summon meteors to crash down to earth. Mess with them, have your home destroyed by giant space rocks, get it?"
"Okay?"
"If I'm interpreting this right, you three are the ones who need to unite the remaining clans and unite all your powers to save the world."
Suddenly, a loud explosion echoed from outside. Twilight looked out the window and saw a giant pillar rising from the ground.
"I suggest you get started. Looks like your bad guy is getting a head start."
