Twilight awoke to a normal morning, The birds chirped and everypony was going about their business, unaware that one of their faithful princesses was missing. Celestia made the choice not to let the ponies of Equestria know about Luna's capture. Celestia wanted the recovery of Luna to be quiet to avoid mass chaos. Twilight slowly climbed out of bed and headed down the stairs. Since Luna's disappearance, she had worked her hardest to find her. she even kept to sleep in the castle so she may better find out who could have captured Luna.
Twilight exited through an archway to the castle gardens, she sometimes took to the garden to calm her mind and relax. Yet for last couple of days the Gardens seem to be incomplete, as if something was missing, Yet she couldn't put her hoof on it. She continued her walk through the gardens. She past by the roses that seemed to glow red from the morning dew. She then passed a statute of a pony holding what seemed to be a scroll, she read the plaque.
“ Time has a way of demonstrating that the most stubborn are the most intelligent. ” Twilight Resisted.
This was Twilight's favorite quote out of all of them. This was basically how Twilight lived her life, Based on knowledge. She remembered summer evenings as a filly being told this quote by her teacher. She smiled as she left the statue and continued her walk, The next thing she passed was the statue of Disc-.....
Twilight stopped dead in her tracks. The statue was gone. The most evil and disastrous creature in all of equestria was gone. The one who caused great chaos throughout Equestria has disappeared. That was when everything linked together, The claw marks, the ability to capture a powerful princess, It all lead to Discord. Twilight turned and ran towards the throne room.
*~*~*
Princess Celestia sat silently on her throne, she took in all the information that was just brought to her attention. Could it really be true?
“ And you are sure of this?” Questioned Celestia.
“ Yes I am, Discord is missing from the Canterlot Gardens.”
Celestia eyes closed as she let out a long sigh. She then rose from her throne and began to walk down the long corridor , passing by window panes with images of the Elements Of Harmony defeating Nightmare moon and Discord. She came to a giant door sporting six spheres and a sun in the middle. Above the door was a golden archway with a white alicorn at the top. Celestia inserted her horn into the slot on the door and the door opened. Inside was a large golden chest. Using her magic, Celestia lift the chest up and opened it to reveal it to be empty. Celestia eyes widened in surprise but quickly changed to anger as she threw the chest across the long corridor , landing with a echoing THUD.
“It seems as though Discord took the Elements Of Harmony again.” Sighed Celestia with a pitch of anger in her tone. She paced back and forth in the hall trying to come up with a solution to this problem. Not only does Discord have Luna but he also now has the Elements of Harmony and who know what else he had. Without those, Equestria was powerless......or was it? Celestia looked at her faithful student.
“ Twilight I need you to gather your friends and meet me in the castle library in the early morning”
“ What.....why?” questioned Twilight.
Celestia stood there for only a moment as she looked, smirking slightly at something Twilight could not see. Celestia Looked down at Twilight.
“ As a madman once said , You want weapons? We have libraries. The best weapons in the world........”
Celestia turned away from Twilight and began to walk to the library.
“ Are books!”
*~*~*
In the stillness of night, Nightmare Moon stared out one of the holes in the Changeling Hive, Looking over the land that she once ruled. Her eyes held a cold, stern stare over the treetops and in the distance bright lights could be seen, the lights of Canterlot. It made her sick. staring at all those ungrateful vermin in their cozy beds and drinking their nice hot tea while their princess is away. It disgusted her to know that while she might be dead, They go about their days like everything is right with the world.
“ AAAAAAwwwww looks like someone can't stay asleep” A voice rang behind her. She turned. There floated the creature of chaos.
“ What are doing here Discord” she said sternly.
“ Rest is for the weary, sleep is for the dead.” Discord resisted. Nightmare Moon looked back out at her night.
“ Discord I would like to thank you” she said. Discords eyebrows rose.
“ Thank me? For what?” He questioned.
“ For making me realize how much they don't care about me. I mean, look at them out there sleeping soundly as if everything's alright, as if everything is normal. Those parasites don't deserve those nice lives. Not a single one of them deserves it.”
Discord couldn't help but smile. His plan was working perfectly and so accordingly. She was starting to gather up all her anger and when the time came, all the towns people will drown in it and discord would be enjoying every minute of it.
“ Well they won't have those things for much longer. Very soon there lives with come to an abrupt end when we come to town and I …... no.......WE will make sure each of them gets exactly what they deserve. Until then let them think they are safe and secure in their fantasy land.” Discord smirked and walked away but before he left her he turned.
“ Your welcome dear princess”
“ Don't get use to my gratitude's Discord”
With that Discord left her alone.
Nightmare Moon thought for a moment. What if they were looking for her? What if they are worried sick about their lost princess? She shook her head.
“ No” She said. She turned and walked away from the window.
“ They're ALL guilty"
