Prelude: Two Weeks Ago
"Wow, what a day." Sunset said, as she entered her house. Thinking about yesterday, she was surprised that she and her friends beat the Dazzlings. 'The power of friendship, no matter what, it can create miracles.' Sunset thought, smiling. She then realized that there was the possibility of other evils in the world. 'Well, we might be able to fight them, but who knows?' Sunset thought.
Suddenly, she heard a knock at the door. "Who could that be?" Sunset asked aloud. Opening the door, she saw Trixie standing outside.
"Hello Sunset, may I come in?" Trixie asked.
"Uh… sure, come in." Sunset said. Trixie entered the house, looking a little down.
"Why are you here and why aren't you speaking like you normally do?" Sunset asked.
"Well, I wanted to come say that I'm sorry about trapping you and your friends under the stage." Trixie said.
Sunset sighed, thinking about the incident before they fought the Dazzlings.
"I know I was under their control, but that still doesn't change the fact that I feel bad about it." Trixie said.
"It's ok, I forgive you but why did you come tell me this?" Sunset asked.
"Well, I don't really have anyone to talk to?" Trixie said, looking down in sadness.
Sunset thought about what Trixie said and realized something. "Those two girls that you hang out with…?" Sunset started.
"They were only part of my band, not real friends." Trixie finished.
Sunset felt bad for Trixie, being reminded of herself a little. "Don't worry, I can be your friend if you would like." Sunset offered.
Trixie felt really touched and started to tear up. "T-Thank you." Trixie said.
Sunset smiled as she comforted Trixie, feeling as if life was going to be good.
Adagio was, at the moment, thinking about what happened yesterday. She was thinking about their defeat at the hands of the Rainbooms and the loss of their powers. 'I can't believe were defeated those girls.' Adagio thought. She knew that they had powerful magic, but she didn't think that they would shatter their pendants. 'Well then, what do we do now?" Adagio thought.
Hearing steps behind her, Adagio turned around, expecting to see Aria or Sonata. What she didn't expect to see was a pony version of herself, that was a siren-alicorn hybrid. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, the other her vanished, as if she wasn't there. 'What was…?' Adagio thought. Hearing the door close, she looked and saw Aria and Sonata sitting on the couch.
"Hey, what do you two think we should do?" Adagio asked.
"Well, I think we should try to get revenge on the Rainbooms." Aria suggested.
"How are we going to do that without our magic?" Adagio responded. Aria, being reminded of what happened, simply sighed.
"Well, what do you think we should do Adagio?" Sonata asked. Adagio hadn't thought about what to do, but she decided to try something different.
"Why don't we just accept defeat?" Adagio suggested.
Sonata and Aria were speechless about what she was suggesting and thought about how to respond.
"Think about it, what else can we really do?" Adagio commented.
"As much as I hate to admit it, you're right." Aria said.
"Same here, after all, sisters need to stick together." Sonata said.
"Aria...Sonata...thank you two for staying with me all this time." Adagio said as she started to cry.
"Hey, we'll always be together, no matter what happens." Aria said.
Unknown to all three of them, the pony Adagio was looking at them through a window. "Please… Remember…" she said, before fading away.
'Ugh...my head.' Wind thought. Opening his eyes, Wind saw he was staring at the ceiling of a house. "Where am I?" he said aloud, pushing himself up.
"Oh, you're awake." a voice said. Looking to his right, he saw someone sitting in a nearby chair.
"Where am I and who are you?" Wind asked.
"My name is Celestia and you're in my house." she said.
As Wind sat there, thinking about what he heard, Celestia said, "I found you unconscious outside, do you remember what happened?"
When he tried recall what happened, he got a sudden rush of pain. "AGH!" he yelled in pain.
"Are you okay?" Celestia said, acting on instinct. "Yah, just a headache." Wind said.
After waiting a few minutes, with the headache gone, Wind realized something. "I don't remember." he said.
"Well, do you remember anything about your life?" Celestia asked.
"I only remember two things, the rest of my memory is blank." Wind said.
"Do you remember your name?" Celestia asked.
"Yah, Wind Typhoon." he said.
"What's the other thing you remember?" Celestia asked out of curiosity.
"A riddle of sorts, see if you can make anything of it." Wind said.
"When the six hear the call, they gather."
"When the stones shines bright, the darkness comes."
"Hope, Faith, Trust, Spirit, Courage, Unity."
"When The Darkness Falls, The Sacred Rise."
After reciting the riddle, a moment of silence hung over the two of them. Eventually, Wind asked, "Do you have any idea what it means?"
Celestia, thinking about the riddle, responded, "Well, I can tell that six people will come together when something happens, but other than that… hang on a sec."
"What is it?" Wind asked. Celestia responded by telling him of both the Fall Formal and Battle of the Bands incidents.
"Why bring this up?" Wind asked out of curiosity.
"Well, two reasons; One, I feel I should tell you about what has happened recently, and two, I remember that the crown that Sunset Shimmer stole was known as an Element of Harmony." Celestia explained.
Upon thinking about the riddle, Wind said, "Wait, the six virtues and people are…!"
"Yes, I believe they are the spirits of six other elements." Celestia said.
"Well, any other things we can talk about?" Wind asked.
"Actually, there's something I want to ask you." Celestia responded.
"Go ahead." Wind said.
"Would you like to be me and my sisters son, at least until your memories come back?" Celestia asked.
As the implications of what Celestia told him sunk in, Wind started to tear up.
"O-Of course I would." Wind said, as he started to cry.
Celestia got up from her chair, walked over to Wind, gave him a hug, which he returned, and said, "It's ok my son, everything will be ok."
When night came and Wind fell asleep, Celestia was up thinking. 'I wonder, why does Wind have the same name as "him" and how does he know of that prophecy.' Celestia walked over to the bookshelf in her room and got an old book from it. 'Well, looks like my son might have a chance after all.' Celestia said, smiling. She went to Luna's room in order to talk to her about the past.
"Tia, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Luna said, when she entered the room.
"Yes, and what do you think of our son?" Celestia responded.
Luna was quiet for a bit, before asked, "Do you think he's…?"
"Maybe, he does know the prophecy." Celestia said.
"Still, do you honestly think he survived the battle?" Luna asked.
"The battle with Nightmare Moon 1000 years ago? It's possible." Celestia responded
Meanwhile, Wind was looking out the window, thinking about what memories he lost. He then smiled and began to sing a tune he just recalled.
Twinkle, Twinkle, little light,
Star up in the sky
Prologue: One Week Ago
Sunset was walking to the cafeteria for lunch when she heard steps behind her. Turning around, she saw Trixie coming up to her.
"Hey, how's it going." Trixie asked.
"Not bad, what about you?" Sunset responded.
"Pretty good." Trixie said.
It had been a week since Trixie came by Sunset's house and since then they've become good friends. As the two of them walked by Celestia's office, they couldn't help but hear two voices from the room, one familiar and one not.
"Are you sure about this?" Celesta asked someone.
"Yah, I just have a feeling…" the other voice said as they passed the office.
"What was that about?" Trixie asked as they continued walking.
"I don't know, but I have a strange feeling." Sunset said, remembering the Dazzlings.
Eventually, when they got to the cafeteria and got their lunches, they noticed something. In a corner, the two of them saw the Dazzlings in a corner, looking miserable. Looking at each other, they nodded and went over to sit with them. As the two of them got closer, Adagio noticed this and smiled a little.
"Hello, Dazzlings." Sunset said, when they got close.
"Why are you here?" Adagio asked, though she knew the answer already.
"Well, we saw you sitting alone here, and we wondered if we could sit with you?" Trixie said.
Looking at Aria and Sonata, Adagio said, "Sure, go right ahead." When Trixie and Sunset sat down, suddenly the Dazzlings mood seemed to uplift a little.
"So, I don't believe we've ever heard your names." Sunset said.
"Oh, I'm Adagio Dazzle, these are Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk." she said, motioning to the other to.
"Hey." Aria said.
"Hello." Sonata said, a little quietly.
"Nice to meet you all." Sunset said.
As lunch went on, the five started to talk and laugh a bit, like friends.
When lunch was about to end, Adagio said, "Wow, that was fun."
"Yah, I think that this was a good idea." Trixie said.
"Agreed." Aria and Sonata said simultaneously.
"Hey, do you three want to be friends with us?" Sunset asked.
Adagio, looking at the other two for confirmation, said, "Sure."
Smiling, the five of them went their separate ways and continue with their day.
After lunch was over, Celestia and Luna led Wind to the statue where the portal is.
"So, this is where the portal is located?" Wind asked, looking at the statue.
"I know it seems hard to believe, but yes it is." Luna said.
"Mind if I touch it?" Wind asked.
Celestia, thinking about it, eventually said, "Ok, but just be careful."
"Mom, I don't think that an inactive portal will harm me." Wind said as he reached towards the portal, Celestia and Luna close behind.
As his hand came close to the portal, his reflection on the statue suddenly changed. Instead of a normal reflection, it showed a pony version of him. When they saw this, all three of them were astonished. Almost as soon as the reflection appeared, it vanished, leaving a normal reflection.
"What was that?" Wind asked, a little confused.
"I don't exactly know." Celestia said.
Luna pulled Celestia aside while Wind was just looking at the statue.
"Do you think he is actually the one?" Luna asked in a whisper.
"I honestly not sure, but…" Celestia said, looking back at Wind.
"Oh, Principal Celestia, and Vice-Principal Luna." a voice said.
The three of them tuned to see Trixie coming up to them. As Trixie approached Celestia and Luna, Wind felt a strange sensation.
'What was that?' he thought.
"Trixie? Don't you have...oh wait." Celestia said, remembering something.
"Yah, the teacher wasn't there." Trixie said, smiling a little.
"Tia..." Luna said, teasingly.
"Hey, who's that?" Trixie asked, noticing Wind looking at her.
Celesta, obviously not prepared for this, said. "Oh, he's, um…"
"I'm a friend of Celestia's and Luna's." Wind said, helping out Celestia.
"Really, you look a little young." Trixie said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Celestia and Luna asked simultaneously.
"Nothing." Trixie said, realizing what she just said.
Wind giggled a bit at what he saw happening and said "Hey, don't worry about it."
Trixie, looking at Wind, blushed a little out of embarrassment.
Wind smiled and said, "Hey Celestia, about that field trip?"
"What field trip?" Trixie asked.
"Well, I think Celestia could explain it better." WInd said, winking at Celestia.
Celestia, remembering their earlier conversation, said, "Oh, well, it was one has been planned for a while."
"Really?" Trixie said, out of curiosity.
"Do you want to know where?" Luna asked, earning a glare from Celestia.
"Well, maybe…" Trixie said.
Celestia, deciding to do something, said, "It's going to be an archeological dig at the Everfree Ruins."
It was night and Wind was asleep, giving Celestia and Luna a bit of time to talk.
"What do you think of Trixie?" Celestia asked.
"Well, she is a real friendly one." Luna said.
"Not that, don't you find it odd how easily Wind trusted her?" Celestia asked.
"A little bit, why do you ask?" Luna responded.
"Well, do you remember what I told you a week ago?" Celestia said.
Luna, thinking about what she was told, eventually said, "You think she could be one of the elements?"
"Maybe, but there is a possibility." Celestia said.
"True, but it could also be your imagination." Luna said.
Celestia gave a deadpan look at Luna as she giggled and went upstairs, leaving Celestia alone. She then got up and walked over to the phone, dialing a number she knew too well. After a few seconds, someone picked up.
"Hello?" the voice said.
"It's me." Celestia said.
"Oh, Celestia, what did you need?" the voice asked.
"I want to talk about that deal we made a while back." Celestia said.
"Well, I don't have any new information." the voice said.
"Why is that?" Celestia said, a little annoyed.
"I lost contact with the 18 scouts that I sent to the ruins." the voice said.
"How long ago was this?" Celesta asked.
"About one week ago." the voice said.
"Ok, the school will be going there next week, so I'll let you know." Celestia said.
"I would appreciate it, when you have them call me." the voice said.
"I will, don't worry." Celestia said, smiling.
"Oh, that reminds me, I sent over a gift for you." the voice said.
"What is it?" Celestia asked.
"You'll find out, anyways bye." the voice said.
"Bye." Celestia said, hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, there was a knock at the door. Getting up to answer the door, she thought about what had happened last week. When she opened the door, there was a package outside. Picking it up and opening it, there were three toy cars, each with labels.
The left one was a pure red with red circles on it's side, with a label that said, "Red Joker, For Celestia." The right one was a night sky black with red wings on top of the roof, with a label that said, "Black Ace, For Luna." The middle one was a blue and green combo with red headlights, with a label that said, "Shift Starforce, For Wind."
'Krim, you sneaky man.' Celestia thought, smiling.
Wind was just dreaming what he was dreaming the past week, a open field with the various people he has met. In the field, were Celestia, Luna, Trixie, and various other people. Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a pony that looked like Luna. That was when he felt sudden pulse go through the field and blacked out.
When he awoke, Wind found himself in a strange place. Upon looking around, he saw found that he was in a big and open cave. In the center, there looked to be a tree of sorts encased in a dark aura.
"Ah… hello there." a voice from behind him.
When he turned around, Wind saw the pony version of himself he saw in the portal. Now getting a better look at "himself", he saw the pony looked like a pegasus.
"Before you ask anything, let me tell you that this is a vision of something to come, and call me Cyclone." he said.
A little sceptical, Wind just decided to go with it. "So, what is this thing?" Wind asked, pointing to the tree.
"Well, that is known as the Sacred Tree, this worlds' Tree of Harmony." Cyclone said.
"Tree of Harmony?" Wind asked.
"Yes, try to remember that for when you next see this tree." Cyclone said.
Wind, wondering what he was talking about, was about to ask when two objects flew by his head, one even cutting his cheek. The objects in question looked like two swords, each with six indents for orbs of sorts on each side.
"What are those swords?" Wind asked, staying at a distance.
"You'll find out in time." Cyclone said.
Before Wind could say anything in response, the cave seemed to shimmer out of focus.
"What's happening?" Wind asked, feeling a little light headed.
"Looks like you're waking up, well I'll see you at a later date, and next time, I won't be alone." Cyclone said, before fading away.
Wind opened and rubbed his eyes, thinking about the dream he had.
'What was that dream?' Wind thought.
Getting up to get ready for breakfast, he was about to dismiss the dream as nothing, when he saw something in the mirror. There was a scar on his cheek that wasn't there before. Thinking back to the dream, he decided to keep it in the back of his mind.
'The knowledge might come in handy later.' Wind thought.
Authors Note: Something I want to note, the Prelude, Prologue, & Chapter 1 were made when I had an editor with a different writing style. Also, up until Chapter 5, my paragraphs are still how they were before I changed my style.
