I walked calmly back to Twilight's library where Uncle Toasty was sitting in the corner with a large pile of books surrounding him. He was intently staring at the books and his eyes were flying across the pages as if he were watching the Wonder Bolts Roller Derby. I slowly walked over to him as Twilight came down the stairs.

"Oh, hello Light," she said, Toasty looked up at me and smiled, he was at my side in a second and pulling me over to his little corner, I realized he had arranged the books to make them look like a slice of bread. I sighed and shook my head as I waited for him to tell me what he found.

"Alright, I've done research as far back as 1672, the Changelings have a slight pattern to attacking Equestria every now and then, using different tactics. The recent one, at the wedding between Princess Miamori Cadenza, also known as Cadence, and Shining Armor. Something you should know though before I continue," he said, looking at me with large eyes, "Cadence is your older sister." I felt frozen.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"When I was banished to the comet Princess Celestia apparently wiped everyone's memories of me, so I would never exist, but from what it seems, she tried to reverse this on the royal family in case I returned, but when she reversed it on your mother she forgot that Cadence was her daughter, so to ease the situation, Celestia took Cadence into her care and your mother thinks that Cadence is family, but not her daughter as she actually is."

I blinked as I sat down, Twilight came over and I saw the tears in her eyes, "Is that really true Toasty?" she asked.

"How do you know Cadence?" he asked softly.

"She was my foal-sitter, and is now my sister-in-law. Shining Armor is my BBBFF." I blinked once and she sighed a little, "Big Brother Best Friend Forever." she explained.

Uncle Toasty nodded, "Yes, it is true, but you can't tell any of the royal family I disclosed this information to you, if either of them realized the truth it could cause massive trauma to them each psychologically."

She nodded solemnly, "You have my word," she said as she looked at the window. Spike came down holding a scroll.

"Twilight! We got a letter from Princess Celestia!"

Twilight instantly grabbed the scroll from him and unraveled it. We both stood up and stood in front of her.

"My most faithful student Twilight, I've heard from my sister the great concern you and your friend both have of myself. But I must express that you not worry yourself over these matters. Don't feel so threatened by every little thing that happens, yes most things have a reason to happen, but being so concerned over these things is superfluous. Continue your advanced studies on friendship and keep updated on each lesson you learn. Princess Celestia."

Twilight sighed as she let the scroll drop to the floor, "Is this another test? Last time she told me not worry about it, she gave me a hint on how to stop the pending trouble I could see, but this time there is no hint. I don't know what to do." She muttered.

"Twilight, can I see the scroll?" Toasty asked, he picked it up as she nodded and looked it over, he shook his head and she stared at him in confusion, "This isn't Celestia's writing. I know her writing, and so should you."

"What do you mean?" she asked, she went to grab a scroll and brought it over and opened it up to show us a letter from Princess Celestia. "You're right," she said after comparing the handwriting, "It's not her."

"Someone is impersonating the princess?" I asked softly, Twilight nodded and I shook my head, instantly I knew, "Twilight it's begun, we have to check on the Princess's!"

Twilight bit her lip and I could see fearful tears in her eyes, "But…we can't jump to conclusions," she whispered, she didn't want her to be hurt.

"Twilight, we have to make sure! And writing a letter isn't good enough!" I said hysterically.

Tears began to drip down her face and Spike came back with another letter, "Twilight, we got another scroll from them, but…"

He gave the letter to Twilight as Crimson Coin walked in with his snake around his shoulders. "It's from Discord!"

At her words Toasty ran out of the room, I stared after him as Twilight began reading it to herself and she began to cry, Crimson hugged her with a passive stare, "Twilight dear, what's wrong?" his voice rang with care, but his voice did reflect it.

"They're dead!" she cried.

I ran over to her and took the scroll and began to read it.

Little Pony,

Twilight Sparkle and her little friends, for all of you to spread this word you need to read it all. Your beloved Princesses are all gone, so prepare for the surprise of your life when it bounces back to you and makes you the victim of the hatred of Equestria.

Chaotically Yours,

Discord

I looked at her and found myself speechless, but I had so many questions that I needed the answers to, but I couldn't find my voice.

"So it all goes to him?" Twilight whispered in fear.

I sat on the ground and felt tears leave my eyes and I covered my head with my hooves and cried. "We're goners."

Crimson remained silent as we mourned, "We have to tell everyone," Twilight finally whispered. She pulled away from Crimson and walked out of the library, slowly, I followed behind her as we went to town hall, Twilight went straight to the mayor where she knocked on the door, the mayor opened it and saw us both in the sad state we were in.

"Twilight Sparkle, Light Song, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Mayor Mare, we need to call a town meeting immediately, this has to be told right away." Twilight said softly, her voice cracking a little as a few more tears strayed down her face.

"Twilight, what in the name of Celestia is going on?" she asked.

"You'll see," Twilight finally said softly before we walked away again, we stood in front of town hall and waited as the mayor sent out the pegasi to bring the town together.

Soon enough people were gathering around us, Twilight stood up, "I'll do it, there's enough bad blood associated with your family and the princess."

I nodded and stood behind the podium so no one saw me as Twilight approached it and cleared her throat and pushed her grief aside to make the announcement. She had the scroll with her from Discord and she stood, waiting, for everyone to quiet down.

"Everyone, listen up, there has been an urgent situation that you must all know about, instantly. Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, have all been murdered," she said, there was a collective gasp as Twilight's friend's ran to her side.

"Twilight, what do you mean?" Apple Jack asked.

"I've received a letter from the Canterlot Courts, and it isn't very detailed, but they're dead," she read the letter aloud to the town and I could hear sobs in the crowd. "Discord has taken over as the ruler of Equestria, we need every pony to pull together in this moment of need, and keep Ponyville under our own management, if Discord is officially crowned as ruler, we will have no choice but to remain under his rule until he is gone."

"Ah Twilight Sparkle, I'm sure you could do a better introduction to my regime than that," a voice echoed down, I whimpered as I began to shake, I knew that voice, I'd heard it before.

"Discord!" Twilight shouted, I peeked around the podium to see Discord hanging the sky, staring at her with a pleased grin.

"Ah, you caught me."

"Why did you kill our princesses?"

"Oh! Me?" Discord began to laugh, "Twilight, I wasn't the killer of your princesses, merely the winner of the game."

I glared at him, "You liar!" I shouted as I jumped from behind the podium, several ponies gasped. Surprise? I shook the thought out of my head, the party jokes were for Pinkie…Pie. I'd just realized we hadn't seen Pinkie since she left the party.

"Oh, well hello little filly, but when you speak to me, you will from now on call me the Lord of Chaos, and the Ruler of Equestria!" he began to laugh maniacally and I glared at him.

"Now Twilight, let's try this again, you don't want someone you care about to get hurt," he snickered, "anymore."

"Who have you hurt Discord!?" Twilight cried, she was holding back tears.

"You'll see in time." He floated over the crowd's heads and he grinned as the clouds began to soar around above, fluffy pink. I gasped as Rainbow dash shook her head.

"Oh god not again!" she yelled as she chased after the clouds. Fluttershy gasped and flew off and Apple Jack ran off as well. Rarity looked at Twilight and they both grimaced.

"Light Song!" dad yelled from the crowd, he came from the house Discord disappeared, I ran to dad and he was panting and he hugged me to him. I looked at him.

"Dad, what's going on?" I asked softly.

"It's your mother, she's gone."

"Gone where?"

"A pony broke in and killed her."

I fell numb and ran home with dad following me, yelling for me to stop. I didn't care if it would give me nightmares, I didn't care if it wasn't meant for me to see, I needed to know if it was true. My mother…gone?

I felt hot tears on my cheeks and I used my wings to propel faster. I got home and saw the front door hanging on the hinges. "No!" I screamed through my tears as I ran inside."

"Light! No!" dad yelled behind me.

I ran past the door and saw blood splattered on the walls and there was a trail leading into the bedroom. I shook my head and ran inside to find the scene. I began to cry as dad came in behind me.

I began to cry harder, "Mom no!" I screamed as I ran towards her. But dad grabbed my tail in his mouth and pulled me back towards him.

"No Light Song, you can't," I began to cry into his chest.

She lay dead on the bed, she had stab wounds in her body and her eyes were open, one was gouged out and blood was dripping across her face onto the floor. There was blood between her legs and I looked up at dad who was crying as well.

"Dad…was she…?"

"Yes," he whispered, his voice was breaking.

"Dad…it was the same person who killed Celestia…wasn't it."

He looked down at me and nodded, "I didn't know they'd died as well."

I nodded and he pulled me to him, "Then undoubtedly…"

"Someone is after the royalty."

"But nobody really knows that we're related to Celestia."

"Then…we can't say I'm related to mom…neither of us can."

"What do you mean Light?"

"I'm going to change this, I'm going to dethrone Discord, and I'm going to bring us to the throne, I swear I will avenge the death of my family."

An hour later Toasty came to the front of the house, his medallion was glowing and I stared at him. "What happened?" I asked, "Where did you go?"

"I had to secure Celestia and Luna's souls. This way it kept balance in the world, without them there would be no night or day."

"Why didn't you just bring them back to life?"

"That would be retarded."

"Uncle Toasty, you can't tell anyone we're related to them. Or else we'll go next."

He laughed and nodded, "Okay, I know I'm not at risk either way, but I'll humor you and not speak of our relation to the royal family."

I nodded and I began my plot for our future, to save our lives, and our country.
