"Princess! Princess!" Celestia awoke sitting up in a cold sweat. She was puzzled. She had the same dream for the past two months but she had no idea whose voice it was until after a month but she couldn't place a face on it. But tonight she got a face. It was her sister's. This was the dream that followed up from one that show, Equestria In Ruins. They had to be tied together, somehow. Celestia, being the one to believe dreams tell the future, began to think about how these two dreams connected. Luna was just fine, sleeping in the adjacent tower of her own. And Equestria was in a great time of peace. No enemies were threatening the land or trying to attack. So what in the world did it all mean? Celestia gave a big yawn.
"They may laugh at me but I need to bring this to the high ruling council in the morning," Said Celestia, looking out the window.
"Oh...It's already time to raise the sun"

Location Royal Council room, Date 4/24/1560, Time 3:00 PM

Celestia stood before the council. They weren't very intimidating, to say the least, composed of six ponies only: two earth ponies, one unicorn and three pegasi. The table, a massive block of polished granite shaped into a gentle arc that stood high against the sunrise did some to rectify this.
"Celestia, what is it that you wished to speak to us about that was so urgent?" spoke the earth pony in the center seat of the table. The speaker, named Ea, had a long flowing black mane, a wonderful shining yellow coat and dark, violet eyes.
"It's my dreams, sir"
"Your dreams?"
"Yes."
"What about them?"
"I've been having these dreams as of late. Ones that involve Equestria being destroyed and my sister calling out my name in pain. I believe that dreams tell the future, I fear that Equestria is in danger of being destroyed."
"That's what was so urgent?! You had a bad dream?!"
"Not a bad dream. A vision of the future."
"Celestia, dear, you know I value your thoughts all the time but this is a bit ludicrous," stated another pony to the right. His name was Scar. His name was really Death but he was far too kind to have such a name, so Celestia began calling him Scar after he received a cut over his right eye. He had always looked out for Celestia. He was like a father to her. He was a pegasus. His name fit his appearance perfectly. A red and black mane, a dark black coat, and red eyes.
"Even you, Scar!" Celestia yelled in anger.
"Sorry, Cel, but I just see no way for a enemy country or anything, for that matter, to attack."
"But Scar, when have my dreams ever been wrong?!"
"How about when you had a dream about that chimera was going to attack?" Kate spoke out of turn, earning herself a glare from Scar. She was the only unicorn among the council, with a white coat, red eyes, and a white mane. She was an albino; It's very rare to find one in Equestria unless you looked at the council.
"No pony asked you to speak, Kate," Scar growled at her.
"Ok, Celestia my dear. Why do you think this dream of yours is s o likely to come true. I mean you can't even tell us what's coming so we can prepare by doubling the guards that escort princess Luna and the ones that guard all around the castle. How are we supposed to be ready for a enemy when we don't even know what it looks like?"
Scar was right as always. He was always so wise. Perhaps that's why Celestia looked up to him.
"I-"
"What would we use the elements of harmony?!" Ra spoke out. He was a pegasus dark yellow coat emerald eyes and a silver mane. Not from age but that's the way he liked his mane to look. Celestia hasn't used the elements since she had to fight Discord. But whatever this was it was more powerful then the elements.
"No whatever this is can beat the elements. We need something more drastic."
"Such as?" Ra asked interested in what she would suggest. Celestia smiled. "Come in dear." Celestia called out confusing the council. At the door it opened slightly and in popped the head of a yellow pegasus.
" Uhhhhh... He...llo"

LOCATION KNIGHT TRAINING ROOM,Time 2:50 PM

Fluttershy looked around everywhere. She couldn't find it. She was missing her weapon and today she had to spar with one of the other knights. True she could have picked up any other blade and used it but her sword was special. It was made of black metal, a one of a kind sword. No way she could use another sword. Plus the sword was enchanted not that Fluttershy understood what that meant but all she did know was that only she could draw the sword from its scabbard or sheath. And that it chose her to be its master. She needed to find it. Her opponent was waiting. Somepony cleared her throat from behind Fluttershy making her jump forward and run into the wall but it was cushioned so she wasn't hurt even though she hit it face first. She stood up and looked behind her. It was her master. She quickly stood up sitting her hind legs down in salute.
"No need to do that anymore for me Fluttershy. You know that."
"Yes...but...umm"
Her master giggled.
"Still unable to stop being shy eh Flutter."
" ..what brings...you here...Master Scarlet?"
Scarlet was a unicorn mare with dark red coat and silver mane along with silver eyes.
"Oh I'm sorry." Scarlet levitates a dark red sheath from behind her and puts the strap over Fluttershy.
"I borrowed your sword Flutter. Just to add on a strap and clean it."
That was oddly fishy to Fluttershy but she didn't care she was happy to have her sword back.
"But yeah I have to go need to go teach the students outside the courtyard today"
"A...Alright. Have...fun"
"I will. Make sure you do good in your sparring match for the both of us ok?" Scarlet runs off realizing she had less time than she had originally thought.
"I will master Scarlet." Fluttershy turned to face her opponent. It was Scootaloo. A orange pegasus mare like herself.
"You ready Scootaloo?"
"As I'll ever be." Scootaloo took her fighting stance and pulled her axe off her back it unlocking with a loud click.
"Uhh...if...I...hurt you Scootaloo I'm sorry." Fluttershy draws her sword from its sheath with her mouth her neck cracking from moving in such a different way. She took her stance and then charged. First Fluttershy tried the direct approach slashing at Scootaloo but as she thought she flew into the air to dodge. Scootaloo stopped beating her wings as she plummeted to the ground her axe aimed at Fluttershy. She scooted to the left and the armor on her left shoulder colored Black like her sword was hit. Scootaloo pulled her axe out of the ground and span around trying to catch Fluttershy off guard but she flips back landing on the floor safely.
"Your very fast Fluttershy" Scootaloo complimented her opponent. Fluttershy blushed and Scootaloo saw this as a opening and and takes her axe into her hooves and hurls her axe at Fluttershy. Fluttershy then gets serious again and jumps at Scootaloo with her sword out of her mouth and began to fall behind her when the base sticks to her back hoof and she flips in mid air using her drop to slash at Scootaloo who was defenseless. The axe embedded itself in the wall the same time Fluttershy hit the ground landing on her other hind hoof. Scootaloo was awe struck. This was like watching the wonderbolts do their signature move. You can never unsee it.
"You...you would be dead now Scootaloo...if this was a real fight..."
Scootaloo feels her cheek there was a downward cut on it. She had somehow left a minor cut with a attack meant to kill.
"Yes...Fluttershy..."
The door to the training room opened. Luna walked inside. With no guards with her.
"Oh...Princess." Fluttershy fumbled to get her sword off her hind hoof and and puts it back in its sheath on her back. Luna looked at the wall and saw the axe in it.
"We're going to have to have a more sturdy wall with you around Scoots." Luna said giggling. Which meant Fluttershy wasn't in trouble.
"Wha...what brings you here...Princess?"
"Oh right. Sis wants to see you."
"What for?"
"She didn't say. Just said to bring Fluttershy to the council wing."
Fluttershy was bursting with anticipation of meeting the council. No that was just butterflys in her stomach.
"Coming dear?"
"Uhh...yes of course Princess." Fluttershy ran out the door with Luna as it closed behind them. Scootaloo fell to her knees. Still trying to understand how she was still alive.

LOCATION Castle Hallways, Time 2:55 AM

Fluttershy and Luna walked down the halls in the castle going past the courtyard as they did she saw Scarlet and waved but she was to busy with the students to notice. Luna decided to break the silence and try to start conversation.
"So Fluttershy what's it like being a knight?" Luna asked this because she always wanted to be a knight herself. But as a princess she had a weapon called the lunar blade. It was very powerful and heavy to any other pony who tried to use it.
"Oh... Sorry. Its very nice I do miss seeing Scarlet everyday and I don't get out much anymore unless to tend to animals." Fluttershy frowned. She wished she would get a mission. She wasn't a filly anymore.
"Well perhaps that's why Sister wants to see you. To give you a mission."
"You think." Fluttershy instantly brightens up.
"Then again if that was it she would have told you to meet her in her office not the council wing." Fluttershy was beginning to wonder if Luna was trying to make her feel better or worse.
"Oh..."
"Oh uh...here we are." Luna pointed to the big white metal door in front of them.
"Oh is this it?"
"Yeah sister wants me to come in as well."
"How do you know that princess?"
"Oh I didn't tell you. Me and Sis can create a telepathic link that allows us to talk through our minds. Now get ready she's going to call you in"
Fluttershy heard some yelling from the room. She took in a deep breath and then heard "Come in Dear." Come from the room and she walked up to the door pushing it open and poking her head in seeing Celestia and the council.
"Uhhhhh... He...llo"
