Truth can be manipulated.

It is a question an everyone's mind. Twilight's friends are on that line of questioning the same question.
Are you telling the truth? Who knows?

My Lord Forthcome to me.

Twilight's friends are furious with her. It was not her fault. It was his but her friends just don't understand that. Her friends are no longer dear to her. All she can do now is apologies to her once dear friends. But... What if there is more time? Maybe forgiveness can break the ties, and end the cycle. Letters are her only option
Letter 1 of 5
Fluttershy
Dear Fluttershy.
I am expecting this to be a return to sender. I really don't care anymore but know Fluttershy that you were always dear to me, always will be, no matter what happens. I cannot live with my self knowing what I did to you, the sorrow I caused you. I am truly sorry for my ignorance, and arrogance. I would guess that you could give less of a hang but, believe Fluttershy. Please, just believe for me, forgive me. I had no other choice but to do what I did. It was like someone was controlling me and making my feeling of anger grow stronger and stronger. Nothing is clear to me anymore after what I did. I am not my self anymore and I guess you could call me counterproductive right about now. I really wish there was something that I could of done to stop my self but his magic was to strong. Just please forgive me.

Rainbow Dash
Dear Rainbow Dash
How are you holding up? I am truly sorry for what I did but he just could not be stopped. Now he is dead. I guess another life had to be taken to save another. If only I had the power to just fight him and destroy his evil. He is watching me now, even if I cannot see him he is watching. Always watching. You still have your life, and that is all that matters to me. But as much as I don't want to believe it you are still in danger. Always will be. This letter will just make you more furious looking at it. You did not do it, I did. I am truly sorry. I cannot fix what I have done. Fury is the only thing I know now. Death is the only thing I can do. I don't want to do it but it just happens.

Letter 3 of 5 Rarity
Dear Rarity,
You used to be the top tier in clothing in the town until I happened. Now one of your only loves is dead by my hooves. I cannot remember what I did to him. All I know is that he is dead and his blood is imprinted into my hooves. How are the dresses going? At least I know you are still the best tailor in town now doubt about that. My mind was not in a correct state when I happened. I have been trying to figure out why I did it but all I could find was some magic residue I really hope that you will come over to see me someday. I guess you probably want to strangle me right now. I don't blame you. I wish I could tell you why I did it, but if that happens I will die. I would if it meant me not dying. But I want to live to see the looks on their faces when they are sent to the moon. This letter will not be seen by them don't worry. It wont be seen by anyone but you Rarity. Just please, forgive me.

Letter 4 of 5
Applejack
Dear Applejack
Applejack, how are you doing after the incident. I hope you are pulling through, little sister being gone and all. I did not want to do it. I cant tell you why I did it, they are watching my movement out side of the house and I don't want them checking my mail to see that I betrayed them. Applejack, I know it is hard loosing someone but please pull together and get through this. We all loved her, I did, I just did not want to see you get hurt. I cant go to the princess with this. She will think I am crazy and probably send me to the moon for all the blood I have shed. You know, I used to be the kind of pony that would never hurt anyone for whatever reason. But when I did, for the oddest of reasons I felt nothing. I was different when doing it. Maybe I was under a spell, it would make sense. But I just wanted to give you this letter so that you know that I still love you and all of my friends. Just please, forgive me. TWILIGHT IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF SOMEONE FOR DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME BEWARE OF REQUESTS AND BE WARRY OF THE FLEKTALIS. EQUESTRIA IN RUINS. FLEKTALIS

Letter 5 of 5
Pinkie Pie.
Hello Pinkie, how's it going over at Sugarcube Corner? Listen, I am sorry I exposed your secret and did that thing, but I know why I did it now, I am probably going to get killed for even saying this, maybe they went through my letters and read every single one. But if they did not, and this gives to you. I was put under a spell, I already told Celestia and she found traces of another pony's magic in my body. It was a strong trace and mind control magic take a lot of concentration. I still feel deeply for what happened. But please for the love that is holy and mighty forgive me. I need it. forgiveness is the only way to break the spell of control. Only forgiveness can fix what has happened. Tell the rest of the gang that their loved ones are not dead. Their souls have just been transferred to another figure, 5 empty cloaks now one. The have your loved ones forms. Now they plan on fueling their selves to become the elements with their newly found bodes and plan to take over Equestria, with me as the mule to get to more souls easier. Just please. forgive me. Forgive Pinkie. I am doing this to end all of this. Get the girls together and we will meet at Canterlot in 5 days. Just be on the lookout for those you love dear, they may not be who they once were.

My Dear Lord
Dear **** ******
It has been done, the 5 will gather at Canterlot in 5 days time my lord. You will be able to grow your army into greater proportions with the Bearer of the Elements at your disposal. Soon they will arrive and you will thrive again as a god and make the surface world crumble and the sky will be as red as the fires of Tatarus. I made up some story about you trying to become the elements and added some true facts about our plan in. I want them to know what is happening while it happens. No one can stop you. Not even them as to destroy us they would need the elements full power and because I am with you that will not be. I sent the letter to Pinkie Pie. There is one problem, someone has been sending out my letters edited to their destination. They detail more a less somewhat of what is going on in our plan. Applejacks mentioned mind control but that is just stupid. My letter to Applejack was 110 words long. I found it lying out in the farm when I went and scouted the place out for any suspicious activity. I read it to my self again and it was longer than when I sent it and detailed some of our plan but not much and like before that I was "mind controlled," but they are just probably paranoid conspiracy theorists that think they have gotten 1 piece of the puzzle. I will report to Canterlot's abandoned underground tunnels as soon as possible until then, I bid farewell my lord.

From Twilight Sparkle

They will be here. They always are

Deep in the heart of Canterlot's long abandoned tunnel systems that linked the major cities in the past, and evil flourished. A once great magic waiting in the caverns until his plan is finally executed. The Flektaris were always intelligent, that much was known already. But with the Element of Magic at their disposal, that intelligence grew into something almost unstoppable. The Felktaris are and old group of beings that are behind all of the major events in the world. Almighty magic they hold that even the princesses themselves have not even began to discover yet.

A purple and pink maned unicorn bowed at an altar of blue flame.

"The bearers of the elements will be here soon my lord." Twilight said to her lord in a voice of nothingness.

The altar uttered out a faint whisper of words that stated "Very good young bearer, your brothers will be located all around the fountain, just look for blue eyes."

Without another word Twilight walked out of the tunnels and started to head for the main fountain.

5 magical elements stood in the middle of a emerald encrusted fountain.

"This better be good if I have to see that purple maned monster again." A cyan pegasus said in disgust, not even wanting to utter the name of the monster that betrayed her and used her.

"Don't be like that sugarcube, Twi was not right in the heads' all and maybe she invited us to this to apologize for what she did." The orange mare spoke with the slightest bit of confidence that she could scrape up.

Twilight was standing next to the main Canterlot fountain and was writing a few notes onto a piece of paper she was wearing a robe normally associated with high ranking students associated with the dark magic division in magic, and was patted with many spots of elegant paints and jewels.

The cyan mare was the first one to speak. "You dragged us out here to save the world once again, so where is the danger?" She tried to keep herself from killing the mare right then and there. "I don't want to be around you any longer than I have to and the only reason I accepted this is to live, even though the idea of not coming so that at least you would die was tempting." The cyan mare mumbled in a low angered voice.

Twilight spoke. "You 5 are the key to this world's salvation, a gateway to a new world of order and peace." The streets were suddenly empty of any civilians. The only ones that remained were ponies with flaming blue eyes.

Twilight decided t was time to strike at them while they were calm and unknowing. "You 5 will pave the path to a new world with the use of an ancient power inside of you."

Confused looks came from the Elements. The cyan mare spoke. "What are you talking about, what ancient power?"

Twilight smiled. "You will soon see." All 5 of the Elements were covered in blue orbs originating from 5 blue eyed ponies.

The 5 tried to escape but the orbs did not move.

Kindness cried

Honesty bucked

Loyalty swore

Generosity fainted

Laughter's hair drooped down and sat with a smile no longer on her face

And magic was smiling all the way down to the Canterlot Tunnels
