The group arrived at Twilight's castle after several minutes of walking in the rain. Once they got inside, they all headed to the room containing the cutie map. "I'll be back in a second, I'm going to get us some towels and get the hot cocoa started." Twilight said as she headed back out into the hallway. Everyone took their respective seats around the cutie map and looked around sadly. Dash sighed. "How are we ever going to find Starswirl without Jet?" Dash said as a tear threatened to escape her eye. "It'll be ok, sugahcube. We'll find and stahp whateva he's plannin'. It's what Jet woulda wanted." Applejack said as she put a reassuring a hand on Dash's shoulder. Dash gave her a weak smile as Twilight walked back in with a stack of towels and a tray of coffee mugs. She handed each one of her friends a towel and a warm mug of hot cocoa. After everyone got dried off and began sipping their hot cocoa, Twilight broke the silence. "Ok, Wind. You said you had the spell book Starswirl was using." Twilight said. "Yea. Here it is." Wind said as she slid a book across the table to Twilight. Twilight grabbed it and looked it over. It appeared to be an ordinary copy of 'The Elements of Harmony'. She opened it and leafed through a few of the pages. As she looked through it, her eyes grew wide. Every spell in the book was a spell requiring dark magic to use. "That can't be right..." Twilight began. "What is it?" Dash asked. "This book is supposed to be just a copy of 'The Elements of Harmony'. But, this book contains only dark magic spells." Twilight said as she closed the book and set it down. "I don't understand. How can this be right?" Twilight asked aloud to no one in particular. Rarity came over and looked closely at the book. "Um, darling. Perhaps you should take a closer look at the title of this book." Rarity said. Twilight looked down at the title. " 'The Elements of... Disharmony?!" Twilight shouted. "Wait, what?!" Dash shouted. "Elements of Disharmony?! What's that?!" Pinkie shouted. "It was supposed to just be an old legend. It's the dark magic counterpart to the Elements of Harmony. They're power would be the exact polar opposite of ours." Twilight explained. "So, you mean there's ponies out there right now that have the same magical power as us?" Dash asked. "Well, it's not that simple. Yes, they have similar powers to ours. But, unlike ours, their magic would be stronger when separated. So, they wouldn't need work together to use their elements." Twilight continued. She got up from the table and walked into the library, searching for something.
After several minutes, she returned with a large leather bound book. She set it down on the table and opened it to a marked page. "Dash, Wind, Applespice, Pinkie. What did you say the spell he was casting looked like?" Twilight asked. "Well, there was a pentagram drawn out with Jet's blood. At each point of the star was a bound and gagged earth pony. Jet was in the center." Pinkie said quickly. "Hmm, let's see here..." Twilight said as she flipped through a few pages. She stopped on a page and began to read. She flipped open the Elements of Disharmony and read another page in it. "Just as I thought." Twilight said. "What is it Twi?" Applejack asked. "It appears as though he was attempting to summon the elements of disharmony." Twilight said. "He didn't succeed, did he?" Dash asked. "I don't think so. It says for the spell to be completed, the sacrifice must be slain by one that truly loves and cares for them." Twilight replied. Dash looked at Wind who hung her head. Twilight looked over and saw this. "How exactly did Jet die?" She asked. Wind looked up with sadness in her eyes. "I killed him. He said it was the only way to stop Starswirl..." Wind said as tears streamed down her face. "Well, that means he was successful in summoning the elements." Twilight said. "What exactly does that mean, darling?" Rarity asked. "It means we have to find and stop each element before it's too late." Twilight replied. "An' jus' where would we even begin ta look fer somethin' like that?" Applejack asked. "Well, based on the fact that they are stronger when separate, we start by looking in the place that hosts the greatest aspect of each element." Twilight said. "What are these elements anyway?" Wind asked as she dried her tears with the towel she had. "According to this book, they are: Negativity, Betrayal, Cruelty, Deceitfulness, Greed, and Dark Magic." Twilight replied. "So we gotta look fer somewhere in Equestria that holds that aspect the most?" Applejack asked. "Yes, that right." Twilight replied. "Well, I think I know where we can find Greed at." Dash said. "Griffonstone!" Pinkie shouted. "That's a good assumption. It's all we have to go on right now though. We'll leave first thing tomorrow. Right now, we should all conserve our energy and get some rest." Twilight said. Everyone nodded in agreement and headed into the hallway to their respective rooms.
