A/N: Uhm. This is my first fiction of this site, hoorah! I'll be honest, I don't really like how the speech is lain out, however this first chapter wasn't written by me, so perhaps the next chapter will be better! Oh, and I think the tenses are a little off. Please try to ignore that, mm'kay?
Eh, hope you enjoy regardless,

It is here that we shall forge a great narrative with many magnificent words. Following this, a series of videos shall be created. I, Paladin Amor, shall watch, and orchestrate as it falls into place, so that this great treasure shall be recorded in the annals of history. The tale shall be known as 'Quest for Harmony'' and shall recount how five young mares... And two stallions, search for harmony in a troubled time...The tale, as most of these kind do, begins in a hospital. It begins, with the birth of the first of the six, a pony who come to be known as Blue Mist. Of course, she would not grow to know her parents' love, but instead would know the cold and heartless nature of an orphanage. In the following years, the other five were born in quick succession, erm, par the last one, she's still only fifteen.However, before any of this occurred, before the first was even conceived,a seemingly insignificant event sets the wheels of fate turning. A young colt, barely able to stand, looked up to the sky and wished for adventure. His name: Paladin Amor.
A few months after the return of Nightmare Moon...
Princess Celestia sat on her throne contemplating the arrival of a strange presence, one similar to that of the Elements of Harmony, yet subtly different. "Hmm... These Elements have only recently been activated... There's no way it could be these ponies.."Suddenly one of her guards burst into the throne room, coming to an abrupt halt in front of her. The somewhat-muscular guard catches his breath and manages to gasp out. "Princess, the castle is under attack!" Celestia peers out a stained glass window on her right, and sees multiple shadowy figures darting around Canterlot Castle.
"Send all guards out there, defend the castle at all costs! Do NOT let those shadows in!" She says quickly and clearly. The guard replies with "Your Highness," then gallops out the door, already shouting orders.The Sun Princess teleports herself into a new room, filled with yet more stained glass windows. The Alicorn's horn glowed, and filled the room with a bright light. Once the near-blinding light fades away, where a plain, glass window had once been, was a new stained-glass window, with seven ponies embedded on it. Almost silently, she says four words to herself, "The legend has begun.." Her Highness' horn glowed once more, but this time, once the bright, bright light has faded, she was gone.
...Twenty Years After the Birth of the First...
Paladin whistled as he flipped pancakes high in the air. As they tumbled back down, he deftly caught them on a plate, before he dropped the plate onto a tray. Opening his fridge, he pulled out a carton of apple juice, poured some into a glass, and placed the glass next to the pancakes. Still whistling, he filled a glass with water, and placed a rose in it. Paladin adjusted the display, then nodded to himself, content that it was good enough.Closing his eyes, he visualised his bedroom, and with a small *Pop* he and the tray disappeared in a flash of blue light. He reappeared in his bedroom, and a small grin lit his face as his eyes fell upon the scene before him. Quite possibly the most beautiful, in his eyes, at least, mare lay curled up in their bed, eyes closed, a tiny strand of drool escaping her lips.Walking as quietly as possible, he moved till he was standing next to the bed. Placing the tray down, he ran a hoof through her mane. She stirred, and looked up. " " " " " " " " " " " "
"Mornin'," was all she could muster. Paladin chuckled lightly.
"Good morning, Mist. How'd you sleep?"She mumbles something and Paladin nods. "That's good… Though you should probably get up soon. You have that concert you're going to." He gestures to the tray. "Already made you breakfast, so no need to worry about that." He nuzzles her, before he opens a chest, and slid on a chestplate. "As much as I'd like to lounge around, some of us have jobs."A knock at the door interrupts Mist's reply. Paladin nods at the breakfast. "Eat that, I'll get the door." Paladin disappears and reappears at the front door. He opens it, revealing an irate blue pegasus. She was really blue. Blue mane, blue coat andblue eyes, which glared at Paladin, already accusing him of doing something wrong.
"Uh.." She got out of the bed and scratched her head, "Well, not really. I haven't brushed my mane, I haven't washed up or even picked out an outfit..."
Paladin poked his head around the corner. "You're taking the main road, right? I mean, you could take the second, less well-known track, but that place is filled with bandits..."
Lunar groaned, and shot an irritated look at Paladin, as she always does, for a reason, she figures, he must long to know. "Hmph, whatever, can we get going now?" Said the irate Lunar.
Paladin sighed as he completed another loop of the west wall. His partner, Rough Rider, chuckled. "What's up, Pal'?"Paladin glanced over the wall, before he glared at Rider. "I told you not call me that. And as for what's wrong, I'm worried about my wife," Paladin shifted his armour to a more comfortable position. "She's heading to Fillydelphia today, with a couple of her friends," "
The sounds of the shower slowed, then stopped, and Mist stepped out, scrubbing her head with a towel. She then wrapped her hoof around a small plastic brush and brushed her mane until it had looked neat and tidy. She heard a call from behind her door. "Can I come back in yet?" Lunar yelled through the door, hoping Blue would hear it.Blue Mist gave a small giggle and opened the door for Lunar. Suddenly, a brown pony barged through the door. "Oh, hey guys... Am I interrupting something?"Blue Mist shook the remaining drops of water off of her coat and turned her attention to Clockwork. "Not at all!" Blue replied cheerfully."You know, for somepony named Clock, you have a terriblesense of time.." Lunar said.Clock groaned. "It's not my fault I forgot to set the correct time!""Actually, yeah, it is.." Lunar sighed."...Whatever. Let's go..." Clock muttered.Lunar snickered to herself, then motioned Blue to follow.Blue nodded, and together they left, searching for the fourth member of their group.
