*Yep, another story to work on during writer's block. The x's separate two parts, cause I don't know how to do that line thing. Also, review any way you wish so it can help me become a better writer. Enjoy!
I was picked up by Celestia when I was just a filly. I had no parents and no family. I was one of the luckiest fillies in Canterlot. Celestia took care of me with her sister Luna, who played with me all day. Then Celestia sang me lullabies to sleep when Luna left to guard the night. Celestia was my mother, and Luna was like my sister as I grew up. I loved them both to no end. Only, what's this? This strange dream. It's...it's some sort of chaos, it's going after six ponies, it's...death!
"Are you okay, Mystic Sunshine?" Celestia galloped in quickly, looking at me concerned. I breathed heavily and sweated drastically as I woke up from a haunting dream. Those ponies, who were they? I'd never seen them before. One was pink, the other yellow, another orange, another purple, one blue, and the last was white. Who were those mares? Why did I dream of a dark cloud giving them death?
"I'm okay, mother," I said as I took in a deep breath.
"I heard you screaming in your sleep. Are you sure? Please, tell me what you dreamed of,"
"I...I'm afraid you'll think different of me, mother," I said, looking to the side. Celestia sighed, and called for her sister, who flew into the room through the window slowly.
"What did Sunshine dream about, sister?" Celestia asked. Luna nodded her head.
"I...I don't know,"
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"It was like I was blocked off. I was worried, but thought it was a small thing,"
"It was no small thing," Celestia said. She looked back to me.
"Sunshine...tell me what you dreamed of, now," Celestia said with a raised voice.
"Calm yourself, sister. We'll, I mean I will speak to her. She's more comfortable with me. Stand guard outside as I talk to Sunshine," Luna said to Celestia, who looked back at me concerned. The doors to my room were magically shut and Luna sat herself on the bed close to me.
"Tell me, Sunshine. What ailed you a few minutes ago before you woke up?" Luna asked softly. I nodded my head.
"It...it was so scary,"
"Just tell me. It's been five years since we took you in as a filly. You're a grown mare now. You can trust me,"
"I...I dreamed of six ponies. They started fighting, and lost all hope and faith in one another. They lost belief in friendship, and a cloud of death engulfed every last one of them. It had scary, sharp-red eyes. It's teeth were sharp, and...I...I...I was next," I started crying, and Luna brought me closer to her. She embraced me tightly.
"Shh, shh," Luna hushed me as I sobbed. "You're okay now, Sunshine. I'll go talk to Celestia about this,"
"But what if-"
"She won't think different of you. She loves you. You are her only child. She has a nephew, but no real child. You're her only light,"
I sniffled and looked into Luna's deep eyes. "Really?"
"Really. Now just go to sleep now, okay? I'm in control of your dreams from here on out,"
"Can I dream of the garden outside?"
Luna laughed. "Of course, Sunshine. Now sweet dreams," Luna kissed my forehead and used her magic to tuck me in. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep, no longer worried of that terrible dream. But I did feel something was coming. Something big. And it put shivers in my body.

Luna walked over to Celestia on the balcony. Celestia stared out to the stars with sorrow in her eyes.
"Excuse me if I'm interrupting, sister,"
"You told me to wait,"
"I did. And well, Twilight Sparkle and the others might be in grave danger,"
Celestia gasped, and turned around quickly.
"What do you mean? I thought everything would be fine after Twilight fulfilled her destiny,"
"You were wrong, apparently. Mystic had a dream about them separating through disbelief in friendship. Some sort of new chaos is arising. That's why my powers would not let me see her dream. This new chaos must have power over the mind and dreams,"
"We must warn Twilight," Celestia said quickly. She used her magic to take out a scroll and quill with ink and began writing a letter. Luna bit her lip and looked back to the room where Mystic Sunshine slept.
"We could send Sunshine to help them," Luna said fiercely.
"You can't possibly be serious," Celestia said. "She's a unicorn, but she doesn't know half the magic Rarity does, and that's little magic," Celestia said as she continued writing. Luna took a hoof forward.
"I've been with her every day. She helps put faith and belief in other ponies' hearts. She has powers. She could be another element,"
"How could she be another element if I crafted only six?"
"I don't know, but it's possible. So many young fillies love her because of her strong powers to put faith and belief in others. Please, we must send her in case that dream does come true,"
"Then we'd be risking all of their lives,"
"Then send in Discord. He wasn't a part of the dream,"
"That may be so, but he's not the type to take everything serious. But since he believes in the power of friendship, I guess a first shot is better than none,"
"Thank you sister. I promise you that Sunshine won't fail. She's like a second sister to me. She could be my student. I'll train her magic after this mission is accomplished,"
"What about Cadence and Shining Armor? Should I tell them?"
"Yes. We need every last leader to know this chaos. But they must not tell their people,"
"I hope you know what you're doing, Luna," Celestia finished her letter to Twilight and wrote the secret letters to the leaders of Equestria. Luna walked into Mystic Sunshine's room and used her magic so she could see her sister's cutie mark. There was none, and Luna sighed.
"You have powers, yet you haven't found your purpose. I guess this mission will decide that. I love you, little sister," Luna said, and walked out the room. The new chaos was going to fall, whether it liked it or not. And there were so many lines of defense. But if all did turn out like the dream, Sunshine could use her powers to reinforce the elements.
