Chapter 2: A Storm is Brewing

The main six all had looks of concern on their faces. Queen Chrysalis had returned and she planned to destroy Equestria.

Twilight reflected on those past few moments. The Princesses had told them that Equestria was in great danger. Even more so than when Discord, the Equestrian deity of Chaos, attempted to rule Equestria with a chaotic fist. Or paw. Or claw. She was walking to Princesses Celestia's room. She wanted to speak to her student in private.

The student and teacher walked in silence. Neither spoke a word. The hall in the Canterlot castle was silent. The only life in the halls was the stone-faced guards, the student, and the Princess.

The two eventually arrived at Celestia's room. Two unicorn guards were posted at the door, and as Twilight passed them they eyed her suspiciously. No one was allowed in the Princesses' rooms, not without the highest of permissions. The two stepped inside and the doors closed behind them. Celestia went to sit on her cushion next to a fireplace. The royal cushion was red with golden lace and it looked very comfortable. Celestia indicated with her horn in the direction of a chair. Twilight walked to the chair, and tried to relax, and take in the moment. She was in the Princess's room. It was a nice-sized room, with large windows. This was one of the few rooms she had never been in during her time in Canterlot, while she was learning about magic under Princess Celestia's tutoring. A silence filled the room. The only noise was the occasional hoof steps outside the room. "Twilight?" Celestia began, breaking the silence, looking up at Twilight with something she had never seen in her eyes. Pain. Worry. Concern. Twilight had never seen her mentor this way, and it tugged at her heart to see her role model in such a state. "I fear I may not be your mentor for much longer." Twilight's eyes widened at this. She couldn't bear the thought of her mentor leaving her. Celestia was always a great friend to her, despite their separate roles. "I am beginning to grow old." She turned to look at her mane and tail, which Twilight now noticed small grey hairs at the base of her mane and tail. "If you recall, Chrysalis defeated me at the wedding five years ago. She injured me. But not physically. She injured something I thought not possible." She paused looking at Twilight dead in the eyes. "She broke my immortality." Twilight gasped, shock filling her eyes. "The spell I used," Celestia explained, "Was a very powerful spell. If it worked, it would have destroyed her. Completely. A villain like her could not simply be imprisoned. She needed to be destroyed. But, when the spell didn't work, and it backfired and hit me, I felt something leave. From here." She paused and put her hoof up to her chest. "That… Thing… Broke me. And since then I have been having dreams. Visions. Visions of fire, destruction. Of…" Celestia paused for a few seconds. "…Of death." Twilight was completely speechless at this point. It was too much to take in. Her mentor's aging, the return of Chrysalis, of those ominous visions showing utter destruction.

She was fearful. Afraid. The bad thought gripped her in an icy grip. "What do I tell my friends?" Twilight began. "I… I'm not sure what to tell them." Her voice trembling. Tell them this: "A great change is coming. Times are changing." Twilight nodded her head. "You may now return to your friends." Twilight rose to leave. As she opened the door, Celestia thought to herself "Equestria will undergo a baptism of fire. And the humble of today, will become the heroes of tomorrow."

As Twilight entered the main chamber of the castle, the black-maned guard walked up to Twilight. "Mrs. Sparkle?" She looked into his green eyes. She found brief calm in the penetrating green eyes. She blinked, returning to her senses. "Hmm?" "Your friends wanted me to tell you that they would meet you at Donut Joe's." Twilight nodded, "Thank y-" but she never finished. As she was speaking, a black Pegasus guard burst in, sweating and panting, with bleeding scratches all over his body.

"Lieutenant Lightning Strike! What happened?" Shouted the black-maned unicorn. "Manehattan is under attack!"

And so the plot deepens…

Wow. Two chapters already. Feels like just yesterday I posted chapter one. Oh, wait it was just yesterday! Hahahaha. Okay. So, just to let you all know, I most likely won't be able write any new chapters for a week at minimum. So expect a new chapter some time next week. And I'll hopefully get to chapter 5 or 6 before school starts. Just remember, Favorite, Follow, tell your friends, and Love and Tolerate!

Until then, this is captainlink!
