Chapter 19: Canterlot Dungeons and a history lesson

"How do we get in? There are like a million guards!" Sombra asked his friends, Amber and Treeo.

"That's an easy one! We have to teleport in there ...DUH! Two of us are unicorns. What do you think you did to save Amber Shiny Leaf?"

"My name's just Amber Leaf, but you can call me Amber."

"Oh, OK! Just hold onto me and Sombra, we'll teleport at the same time on the count of three. One .....Two ....

THREE!"

Poof!

Mean while in the Canterlot dungeons ...

The mane 6, Cadence and Discord were trapped, and to make it even worse, Queen Chrysalis used and anti-magic spell!

There only hope was Amber and Sombra.

"Well, Discord darling, it sure is a good thing you left Amber and Sombra at the tree, right?" Rarity said wiith a little bit of humor in her elegant voice.

"Yeah, I guess." Discord laughed a little.

"So, let's hope they aren't dead." Rainbow Dash said flatly.

"Rainbow! Don't say that!" Applejack scolded.

"I'm serious. We were aware in the Everfree forest and almost got killed..." She thought for a second. "3 times! Imagine if you were stuck in a trance!" Rainbow basically yelled.

"You're right!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

All of a sudden, a flash of light purple light consumed the room. Standing in the center were two figures.

An earth pony, a unicorn, and a very tall unicorn with a split off horn.

All the prisoners stared in amazement.

"Why is it so bright!?" A feminine voice yelled.

"I don't know, maybe it's because we used the magic of 2 unicorns?!" There was another female voice, and they all recognized it instantly, it was Amber Leaf!

"Amber? Is that you?" Applejack asked, shielding her eyes with her hoof.

"Applejack! Yes! Yes! It's me and Sombra and Treeo!"Amber exclaimed, she was happy to have found her friends.

"Who in the hay is Treeo?"

"The tree of Harmony became a pony after Discord took the Elements, her name is Treeo Harmony." Amber explained.

Treeo stepped forward and every pony gasped. But Discrodd just stood in awe. "T-Treeo? Is it really you?"

"Discord!" Treeo jumped into the god of chaos's two different arms. Tears in her eyes.

"Treeo! Your back! I missed you so much!"

"Where's Luney and Tia?" She asked, breaking the hug and wiping her teary eyes.

"WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT IN THE HAY IS GOIN' ON?" Applejack screamed.

"Oh Applejack ..." Discord giggled. And Treeo returned the laugh. "Looks like it's time for a history lesson!" Discord exclaimed, pointing a finger at the sky. "Come around and sit every pony, this is a long but sad story.

(Discord's narration is in Italics. Sorry if not to cannon. don't hate meee!)

It started when me, Celeestia and Luna were only little foals ...

"Look, Tia!" Little Luna said, pointing to something on the ground.

You see, Queen Galaxia and King Cosmos had just gone to save the Crystal Empire from you, Sombra.

(I remember that!)

Yes, yes, shut up. Any way .....They stumbled upon your truly, me!

"What is it Luna?" Younger Celestia asked her sister. She had not yet matured, so her mane was all pink. Luna's was light blue.

"I don't know. I think it's alive though." Luna poked the sleeping creature with her hoof, and it shook awake.

"Hey! I was sleeping!" If yelled.

"AH!" Celestia and Luna both exclaimed in fear.

"AH! What! Is it behind me!?" It frantically ran around, screaming.

I made Celestia and Luna laugh that day. I introduced myself, and soon enough, we became friends. They invited me to their castle, and gave me a room all my own! Then one day, some terrible news came from the Crystal Empire ....

The castle gurard ran down the hall, his hooves making a loud noise on the marble floor as each one hit the ground with some force.

He stopped right at the three little ponies ...well two at least, not counting Discord. He bowed. "Your highnesses, I'm afraid I have some terrible news."

"What is it, sir?" Luna asked in her sweet little voice.

Celestia put her hoof in front of her and shook her head. "I'll handle this, how about you and Discord go play outside?" She waited for the two to leave the room, then continued to speak with the guard.

Considering Celestia is older than Luna, she decided to take this crisis herself. "You see, Queen Galaxia and King Cosmos have ...."

"Are they returning?" She asked.

When Luna and I left, I stayed behind, what can I say? I was curious. Celestia made it even harder for the castle guard to tell her because she was still young.

He gulped. "The king and Queen have died in battle. They won against King Sombra, but did not survive." He said bowing his head.

I was horrified, The king and gueen have died. And by the look on Celestia's face, she was horrified as well as me. Her own parents. Dead.

So, the small kingdom of Canterlot (It was just founded a few years ago, mind you) needed a new ruler, and more importantly, some pony to rise the sun and moon.

Being taught by her mother to raise the sun, and her father about the moon, Celestia took on both rolls herself. That was when she got her cutie mark. Celestia rose the sun in front of the whole kingdom, seeing her skills, they appointed her the new ruler.

Princess Luna became upset. Two of the 3 ponies she loved the most in her life were gone. And she could never. ever. see them again. Celestia was equally sad, but, she had a whole kingdom to run, and didn't show her emotions that much.

Luna used to practice rising the moon with her father, and doing it again would only make her sadder. So, her sister raised the sun and the moon for 2 years, until finally, she would do it herself.

The kingdom, though saddened by the loss of their King and Queen, started to grow and prosper under the rule of the two sisters.

(Flash forward a couple years.)

Princess Celestia's mane was starting to get the color it is today, and Luna's was still blue, but longer than before.

And I, well I was getting older, my claws were sharper, and iI was starting to get more mischievous.

(You! mischievous? There's naw such thing!)

Applejack, are you going to let me finsish?

(Whatever.)

As I was saying ....

All three of us went on a walk into the Everfree forest, when we stumbled on a cave with a light purple glow coming from the entrance.

Being curious, we entered the cave. There, sitting on the floor was Treeo.


"Who are you?" Luna asked.

"I was a tree. But now, I have no idea." She responded.

"What type of tree?" Princess Celestia asked.

"I was the Tree of Harmony."

"I got it! Treeo Harmony! That's your name!" Princess Luna exclaimed.

"That's a pretty nice name! I think I'll keep it!"

"So, what are you doing here?" I decided to ask.

She went on about how she was a tree, and then POOF! A pony! And just like that we became friends.

One day we went to visit her again, and we saw no pony there, just a tree.

The tree had these beautiful jems on it.

"Treeo? Where are ya?" Princess Luna asked.

A voice responded, it was Treeo, our friend, she had become a tree again.

"Luney! Celestia! Discord! It's me, Treeo!"

"Where are you, we're not playing hide and seek silly!" Luna yelled back and giggled.

"I'm the tree. See these gem stones?" We all nodded. "These are called the Elements of Harmony, they are very valuable sorce of defense. I want you two to have them , Celestia and Luna."

The elements floated off the tree, and landed right infront of my two friends, not me. I was seriously jealous. But that comes into play later ...

"Goodbye my friends." Treeo's voice faded out, and she was just a tree.
