In the distance, Ponyville come into view. Princess Luna calmly glides forward with one exact location on her mind. As the wind blows on her majestic mane, she peers back to see Twilight still unconscious from the fight. “I am glad to have saved her, but sadden that I could not arrive early to save the rest of Twilight's friends as well as my dear sister.” Luna ponders if she should of listen to her sister in the first place to leave. She could of helped every pony escape or fight, but it is too late to consider that idea now.
“How has this trouble arise?...” As Luna continued to glide down to Ponyville “Golden Oaks Library.” She feels Twilight stirring behind her. Quick on the initiative, Luna flies down on the balcony and teleported herself inside with Twilight. There is a feeling of fear around the atmosphere, in which Luna recognizes this sign as one of her subjects or friend for this matter, having a nightmare. “I must calm Twilight, but first healing her is the primary objective.” Luna lowers her head and touches Twilight with her horn to start the process. There is a midnight blue hue resonating from her horn as well as it appears to cover Twilights whole body. The once battered Twilight is now a freshly healed one. Luna cancels her magic seeing as this job here is done.
“Now that Twilight is healed, its time to enter the realm of dreams once again.” Luna looks out at the dark sky seeing her moon has been risen, but it wasn’t her doing. “Discord…” Luna, having been doing this for a long time in her ruling time, situates herself and starts to breath in and out slowly as she closes her eyes. She leaves her eyes closed until she is losing feeling of the outside world and she starts to lean herself in the realm of dreams. The feeling of her hooves touching the floor, she re-opens her eyes to see the huge hallway of doors from the left and right side of her. Luna starts to move from door to door until she sees a door colored purple with pink around the ridges and what looks like Twilights cutie mark on the center of said door. Luna steps up to the door only to see it contain black tainted spots on Twilights cutiemark. These black spots resembles a pony having a nightmare or recalling a horrible memory.
Luna steps closer and starts hearing a certain noise. The sounds of crying are heard past that door, in which Luna stands before. Luna quickly, but quietly opens the door to find Twilight repeating the same events that happen back at the Canterlot Castle in her dream. Twilight getting cornered by Chrysalis, seeing her friends by her side, only to find out that they were all unconscious and captured by Discord. Then Twilight get grazed by Chrysalis spell and starts to walk back at the same window pane. Then lastly Twilight getting blasted through the window pane and falling. That same process repeated over and over for awhile. Having enough of this Luna charges her magic up and shots it upon the fake image of Chrysalis. Once it hits, the whole image disappears like as if, it were only an illusion.
Twilight bracing herself for the spell to hit her for who knows how many times. It doesn’t feel like anything is happening to her. No pain, no glass smearing her back… nothing. Twilight opens her eyes only to see a normal white room in front of her view. She is confused by this and starts to scan the room to see if she were hallucinating only to have her eyes land on Luna. “...Princess....Luna?” Luna smiles at the mention of her title “Princess” even though she specifically told Twilight to call her by her name after the Nightmare Night events, but she lets it slide.
“I see that you have come around.” Twilight once again starts looking around to make sure that what she is seeing isn’t just a figment of her imagination.
“Am… I dead… have I finally hit the ground?” Luna looks at Twilight with a sadden expression at the mention of death. If she had not saved Twilight at that time… it would of been too late.
“No Twilight… you are not dead… not at this time.” Twilight’s expression changing from one of confusion to being surprised at the news.
“How did I-” Twilight was stopped as Luna raising her hoof to silence Twilight for a moment.
“I was the one who saved you from your doom Twilight” Twilights eyes widen a bit from hearing this bit of information. “... when you were falling I caught you in the nick of time, thank goodness I did and brought you back to Ponyville so that I could heal you as well as take you away from Chrysalis.” Luna observes Twilight letting all this information sink in, until Twilights goes up to Luna with desperation in her eyes.
“Princess Luna, we have to go back and save my friends and Princess Celestia from Chrysalis or Discord before anything bad happens to them!”
“We cannot do that Twilight… we can’t save them at this moment.” Twilights ears fall back on her head as she looks down sad.
“But they could be in trouble and that now you are here, we can win and save our friends plus your sister.” Luna looks at Twilight with a gloomy look of doubt written all over her face.
“Twilight… we will not be strong enough to defeat Discord or Chrysalis in a battle.” Twilight looks up and Luna notices Twilight's eyes going misty.
“But you’re here now, we can hold our ground with them… we have to beat them and save the ones we lost or Equestria will be under their rule!” Luna already feeling her own eyes getting misty as Twilight is bursting to tears. “We could win if we get Princess Celestia, or my friends, or just catch one of them by themselves, or-” Twilight is cut off as Luna wraps a wing around her.
“I think that would not be possible with just the two of us, please understand that-” Twilight removes the wing wrapped around her as she feels a bit of anger fill her as well as more tears.
“Not unless we try, if we don’t.... if we don’t… they will…” Twilights lower lip starts to quiver as she sits down and starts to sob.
Luna herself is brought to tears as she sits on her haunches and puts a wing around Twilight. She sees the once happy successful mare now in tears for losing a fight in which she could not win. “What could I have done differently to avoid this conclusion?” Luna ponders as she coos Twilight down in comfort.
“ How.... how will we be able to save.... them now…?” Twilight questions as she continues to sob.
“I may know of a way to get them back.” Luna states. Twilight looks at her with tears in her eyes as this new bits of information is brought to light.
“I have been ask by my sister to go search for a hidden tapestry of a prophecy that was written by magic which still functions to this very day and it foretells a legacy that will happen in important times.” Luna sees Twilight not in tears, but still is sniffing, as she is taking all this information in. Now that she knows that Twilight is following, she continues. “I went to the direction of its location and found the tapestry and saw a prophecy marked for the three days after there will be a certain ponies destiny that will be changed.”
“It mentioned your name Twilight.” Upon hearing her name, her eyes go wide at the realization and utter curiosity as to what this prophecy mentioned. “It read. In three days, Twilights day will go from good to worse as she will be brought down by a certain evil. She will be defeated at that time and lose those close to her. When Twilight is defeated, she will need to search for hidden objects that realm deep in Equestria that will only react when she gets close to it. Also she will be accompanied by five others who she needs to find in order to acquire those objects. Once she finds these key items then will she be able to defeat the certain evil that bested her. If she fails then all is lost.” Once Luna had finished recalling what was on the prophecy, Twilight's eyes are wide as all this info is too much to take in all at once.
“There was a prophecy about me and how it foretold that I would lose!” Twilight is shocked to hear that this prophecy foretold what would happen three days prior before anything happened. Luna observes Twilight waiting for something to be said from her.
“I can understand how all this is giving conflicted feelings of how it is being read, but I do know this… Twilight you must find those hidden objects that are hidden deep in Equestria.”
Twilight starts to try and find an answer to all this, but it only makes her more confused. “Also, what are those hidden objects,” Twilight pondered.
“Princess Luna… did the prophecy mentioned the hidden objects locations?” Luna tries to recall if prophecy mentioned anything else, but nothing ever came up. Lunas mind clicks as she did recalled one thing mentioned.
“All I know was that it did mention; Only time will tell, once the search for the objects commence.” Now Twilight is more confused then normal.
“Only time will tell… when will that happen?” Luna starts to feel that day is coming soon, which leaves little less time to speak before she has to part ways and try to go back to the area that the prophecy was at.
“Maybe something changed that I need to look again.”
“Twilight, I must go and find that tapestry to see if anything has changed… I do not wish to leave you alone in what dangers that will come to you, but I know that you will be able to take care of yourself just fine.” Twilight looks at Luna with sadden eyes, but feels determined on finding these few hidden things if she will be able to use them to defeat Chrysalis and Discord.
“I understand Princess… one more thing that I need to know.” Luna looks at Twilights direction before coming back to reality and leaving.
“And what would that be?”
“Will you still be able to come back so that you could help me out if I am in need of assistance?” Luna ponders what to say to Twilights question.
“Do not worry Twilight… I will be watching over you to see your progress.” Once that is said, Luna lifts herself up with her wings and starts to fly back as she starts to disappear into the clouds.
Silence lingers in the sole white room now with the only occupant Twilight. Twilight lingers around and is in deep thinking at what has occurred. A prophecy that foretold her own future would befall on her. She could not believe it but it did just happen a few hours ago. As also how Luna says, her whole world started to disappear as she started to wake up from her deep slumber.
Sunlight starts to peek through the horizon as the residents of Ponyville wakes up to something that they will not expect. The sun is out yes, but it is different from Princess Celestias sun. As the original stage which occurred before that was once the dirt road, now is a checkerboard ground and as well as some floating houses. In the distance, you can see the once beautiful Castle now transformed into a habitat for the changelings. It look like a dungeon castle on the outside with dark green walls, green doors, and with what looks like green larves hanged outside with ponies inside for show.
Twilight wakes up after the dream had ended and gets up quickly since with what she heard was true, then its best that she gets started. Twilight went to fix herself up and checked the mirror to see if the cut was still there. It seems that the wound she received is gone. She thinks back to Luna being in her dream and she smiles gladly that Luna had healed her.
Remembering for what’s to come next, she went ahead and looked through her study for specific books which includes the one book: “The Elements of Harmony.” She keeps on looking, but she suddenly spots something off on her desk.
What looked like a single regular flashcard laying on it. Trotting up to her desk, she can clearly see what looks like a sigma of some sorts. A shape of a regular old spade, the ones that you see on playing cards. Looking the card over, the back and the front. The card only contains a spade, “This is strange… what could this mean?” She scrunches her muzzle as she tries to think of the meaning.
Before she could think any deeper, her ears flicker as she hears certain shuffling behind her. She quickly turns around, horn at the ready to attack anything that is out to get her. She looks upon a baby dragon with purple-greenish scaly skin rubbing his eyes awake with his claw. It clicks in her mind that she had forgotten about her number one assistant Spike being there. Well she couldn’t blame herself after all thats happened to her until now.
“Morning Twi-” Spike is cut off by seeing Twilight with her horn lit up as if she were doing a spell and he jumps back in fear.
“Don’t shoot me Twilight, I didn’t mean to sleep in late and eat all the jewels from the jewel chest while you were gone!” Spike covers his face with his claws in expectation of a spell being cast upon him.
Twilight disables the spell she was about to use and quickly started to reassure Spike. “Oh! Sorry about that Spike, I was just tense thats all.” Spike lets out a breath of air in relief that he didn’t know he was holding,
“Good thing it wasn’t about what I said.” She looks at him with an apologetic look, but quickly turns into a questioning look.
“Wait a minute, you did What now with the jewels?” Spike quickly changes the subject by averting his eyes and looking at the certain index card on the table.
“What's that card doing there?” Upon Spikes relief, Twilight looks over at the card and looks back at Spike.
“Did you put that there while I was gone Spike?” Twilight levites the card to show Spike what she means. With the card in front of Spike, he does a little look over to try to remember if he had done such a thing. Twilight sees Spike trying to remember, but he shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head from left to right.
“I don’t think so Twilight, I would remember if I had done that and besides. Why would I put one thing on that, I would write down lots of things on that if I ever needed it.” Spike explained Twilight.
“Then what is this card doing here in the first place?” Twilight thinks a little bit more on it, but decides it must mean nothing then.
“Hey Twilight, since your back does that mean you girls are done with what you needed to do?” Questioned the dragon. Twilight quickly from her normal self to utter sadness as to what she is remembering on what happen to her friends.
“Spike...take a seat, this will take a while to explain.” Doing what Twilight said, he goes to the closest place to sit down which happens to be the bed.
Twilight starts to contemplate on how she should bring the news to him. She didn’t want to bring it straight to the point, but she has to. Taking a deep breath, *Twilight starts explaining Spike from the beginning to the end to the time she was saved by Luna.*
-----------------------------------------------------
“So… they’re gone… we won’t be able to get to see them again.” Spikes expression darkens so, as he tightens his little fist in anger and sadness of not only losing Rarity, but losing all of his close friends to those evil beings.
“Twilight… what do we do now?!”Spike comments with a sadden look. Twilight looks at Spike, but starts to feel magic being active near her. Immediately turning around at the ready, in case whoever is activating magic is nearby. Horn lite she glances from side to side, to find the perpetrator. Instead she only sees the same flash card on the floor, but there's something different about it. It has the same symbol of the spade on its back side and it looks normal if one were not to look closely.
It looks like its glowing on its front side of a light green hue. Twilight doesn't want to risk hold on to the card since it could be a trap, she immediately lifts the card and flips it on its front side in a split second. Twilight shields her eyes from being blinded by the glowing on the card. What is happening to it? I hope this isn’t a trap to imprison me. The light shimmers a little and in a quick interval it dies down until there is no light.
Twilight brings her hoof down and blinks a couple of times to get used to the dark room of hers. “Twilight! What happen? Did it do anything to you?! I don’t want to lose you too.” Spike says, coming out of hiding and sprinting to Twilight.
“I’m fine spike and thank you for worrying about me Spike.” Twilight brings out her genuine smile in a long time. Thank goodness nothing happened to. Just, what was that about? Twilight looks at the card and her eyes widens when she sees something written on it that wasn’t there before. The first clue is in….Manehatten! What does it mean by first clue? Twilight immediately connects the dots with the sigma and Manehatten.
Does this mean that the symbol is actually located in Manehatten… only one way to find out. Twilight lifts the card and puts it on her study.
“Twilight, what happen?” Spike glances between the card to Twilight.
“Spike! Pack our bags. We are going to Manehatten!” Twilight says this with her same old spunk of energy.
