Equestria / Everfree Forest / Sunday / 18/03/16/15: 30hs

The day was disappointing, Dark, Humid, Cloudy and Rainy, the most distressing was that the day was just beginning, it was already known with certainty that the Pegasi announced rain that day but no pony expected something of such magnitude.

While the streets and rooftops of Ponyville and Canterlot were flooded with water, the Everfree Forest was a unique livelihood, amid the stormy rain that fell in pouring rain led by the mighty wind. Two ponies dressed in a dirty cloth that fluttered against the current and faces covered with hoods of a dirty cloth.

They ran as much as their hooves allowed them until in the distance they saw the light of a candle, as they approached they made out the figure of a house they were approaching, the house seemed to be welded with the immense flora that was in the forest although at this point it was rather a swamp. It could not be called home so literally because it is an old quebracho with huge holes used as windows from which a large amount of candle light came out, while on each branch of the tree hung ornate earrings of a black thread in different potions, while they were filled with rainwater

""! ¿We are getting closer to the goal! How are you holding your Composure Boy?¡"",between sawing her eyes as the drops collided with her fur

""! Still…! ¡I have breath to run Captain!"",with heavy breathing

They both arrived at the door and were about to knock when it opened by itself, inside a Zebra was waiting for them looking at them with a serious look, the interior was dark and lit only because it was daytime even though it was visible outside the house the candle light

""Come in now,"looking at them both while biting her right lip repeatedly", you two, you should arrive 3 moons ago, not matter, you are here, be more important"" ,entering her house

""¿Does She Always Talk Like This?"",looking at her comrade with a frown

""¡With time you get used to it! ,"to face the door frame",! Now Let's Enter the Rain is Growing!"",entering the house

In other times, Zecora's house was identical to a Shaman with potions scattered around every corner and corner of the house ,"or rather tree", with strange Masks or Masks of multiple colors decorating the walls inside the huge quebracho, it is also they could find, roots, holes made by the decomposition of rotten wood where there were more potions, candles, invocations books or spells related to nature and beings that inhabit it.

Pointing to the left was a huge hole that showed inside a bed and above it a window ,"one of the holes in the tree", and most strikingly a huge boiling cauldron with firewood underneath. In the moments in which Gipsy and Laurenz looked inside they did not find anything similar, the surroundings inside the house could not be distinguished thanks to a dense gray fog in which round lights shone that turned on and off identical to the Fireflies, the The lights were of different colors although Gipsy noticed that all the colors resembled those of a Rainbow, the floor was covered with empty bottles or potions or their contents spilled on the floor.

The hooves of both Ponies stepped on or kicked these jars, throwing some bottles away. What caught the attention of both Ponies was that the sound sounded farther than they expected and they were sure that it even sounded outside of the Zecora tree

""!¿ Wait…¿ Did you hear that Captain?¡ ,"to which she only nodded with a serious grimace",! I'm serious Captain,"looking towards the sound of the bottle", this is very strange, it's as if…""

""! The inside of Mi / ¿The house outside bigger!"", Zecora appearing behind Laurenz

""! WHAAAAAAA¡ ... Miss Zecora,"by surprise he ended up giving a yell", how come you! Appear like this out of nowhere ... ¿What is happening inside this place is different Is it like Yes?""

""¿Outside is Small and Inside is Big?"", with a smile on her face at the boyish attitude of her student

Laurenz looks surprised as Zecora gives Gipsy a smile and a wink

""""It is a spell that Zecora normally uses when she plans to bring a large number of "Guests" or transform the interior of her house for an important event,"looking around", ¿So it is normal that the interior of the tree is larger than what is normally displayed on Did you know exactly that we would come? ¿Why wait until now to face us?""

""! Because I needed to be sure that this was not a Simple Delusion¡,"smiling", now I will explain everything, tell me, we'll get there, everyone is a few steps away from us!""

""¿Everyone? !More to come!"",walking slowly

""!Better Hurry if you want Answers!"", speeding up, leaving the young man behind

The three of them continued walking until in the distance they made out an object which was not distinguished by the fog and the lights, when they approached it, the two newcomers saw with amazement that it was a huge round glass table with a total of 10 legs that held her.

Around it were chairs also made of glass, on the table were glasses and glass plates in front of each plate there was a candle of an orange-red color that illuminated the entire area of the table

The Meeting will progress in this area ,"I look at her plate which showed a clock that marked 16:10",! Already being the Others about to Arrive! preparing everything is my obligation, approaching one of the chairs

""! Wait¡,! The Captain didn't say anything about a meeting! We came to…"",disoriented and confused

""! Laurenz Silence! ,"to which he obeyed without protesting",! A Meeting! So that's why You waited for us until Now,"frowning", ¿Wouldn't I Understand why You Need Us?""

""! It's not the perfect time yet¡, take a seat, I'm about to finish and the others will be coming"", resting the helmets on the glass table

The dense fog began to dissipate, the colored lights disappeared and the interior of the place began to become visible, after a while Laurenz immediately recognized the place where he was, the walls had been built with cobblestones and the floor had tiles of a color that contrasted between black and white, the distance between the ceiling and the floor was considerable.

On the walls you could see paintings that paid tribute to the great legends of Equestria such as Mistmane, Meadowbrook, Somnambula, Flash Magnus and, as expected, Starwirls The Bearded one along with a painting of every ruler that was in Equestria during the Epoch. Celestia, Luna and Candase were there next to the recently added new Puncture Twilight Sparkle

"" ¡This place is!…! ¡It can't be! This place is the Supreme Court of Equestria,"stunned", where the greatest heroes and legends have gathered to… ""

""¡Talk about its very important political issues! Puahjj! Just thinking about that idea makes my stomach turn!"",With a moching voice

""! YOU… YOU ARE DISCORD¡"",sirprised and worried

""! Seriously don't tell me¡,"smirking", I thought it was my Twin Brother""

""¡ What are you doing here! ¿How did you find the Headquarters? ...! Perhaps you plan to betray us as you did once with Tirak! ,"Laurenz bends Zecora out of her corner"; !YOU RUN WE WILL NOT LET THIS GO¡...""

Gipsy's heavy helmet fell on Laurenz instantly the blow was so strong that the rookie brought his hooves to his head lying on the ground.

""¿What are you doing stupid?"",serious

Laurenz looked at her teacher who was looking at her as if a mother scolds a son after ruining her party dress, but then Discord's somber voice reached her.

""! Boy! ...! You better measure your Words,"now showing an angry and threatening face", that before was just humor but ,"Laurenz feels a tremendous presence that invades his entire body and leaves him immobile, looking at Discord once more he would swear that his face clouded with darkness and I could only see those sinister yellow eyes", If you want me to relive my past, ¡Go ahead but then your Burden with the Consequences!""

That last terrified Laurenz who backed away from the table without taking his eye off the Draconicus, until someone put his helmet on Discord's shoulder, Laurenz's eyes lit up when he saw Celestia who was looking at him with a sincerity smile

""! Take it easy Discord¡, stop scaring the boy""

""¡Hooo! come on it was just a little joke you know I can't live without them"", glancing et her

""Find a place and stop traumatizing the guests ,"she approaches Laurenz who looks at her with wide eyes as if he saw the most beautiful being in the world";! Don't worry,"floating with her wings at the side", it's just a bad joke it's hard to believe but is on our side""

Discord looked at the Alicorn chuckling he turned to Laurenz once more, closed his eyes and gave a strong sigh, apologized to Laurenz and invited him to a shake to confirm their reconciliation, after that little slip Laurenz took a seat observing who more were present

His eyes widened when he saw the other members at the table, besides Laurenz who was in the center of the table and Gipsy to his left, Discord was in front of him to his right was Celestia. Sitting in the corner of the table were the Princesses Luna and Candase sitting opposite each other next to her wife was Shining Armor, while at the other end were 4 Generals of different Races, Pegasi, Unicorns, Earthlings and one that I do not identify.

Each one wore a different colored armor, the Pegasus wore a green armor that covered his entire body without leaving a single glimpse of his being in sight, only one part was uncovered, his face which was normally covered with a helmet which They wore golden wings on each side of their heads, they were leaning on the table revealing the young and delicate face of a Pegasus, their mane was Orange and their long blonde hair that reached their shoulders, their ears wore porcelain earrings

The second was the terrestrial one, he wore a blue armor like his ally, his body was covered by it, his helmet was tucked into the handle of a mace resting on the floor, the helmet had horns similar to Blades, his helmet was open where you could see the handle of the dough, The pony's face resembled that of a bully, its mane was dark green and it had no hair. He had a thick beard below his chin and had a claw scar on his left jaw.

The last one was the Unicorn, she wore a full body armor of Gray color, The Pony carried her helmet over the armpit, a helmet with a hole in the forehead for her horn, the Pony had a light blue mane, her hair was brown collected with two pigtails, he wore a scar on his eye,

At the top there was a 4 Knight, this was much larger and Robust than the previous three he wore his helmet, covering his face revealing bright brown eyes, his armor was red with Golden Yellow Edges on top of his helmet he had horns with ray shape. These 4 were the Royal Legendary Knights of Equestria. Ost The Earthly Royal Knight, Alliast The Magic Royal Knight, Rudy The Royal Knight Pegasus and Carcarof The Captain of the Royal Knights of Equestria, while all took their respective seats only one at the entire table was still empty, the seat in front of Carcarof the only He showed a look not surprised, once everyone arrives the meeting begins

""Excuse me, ¡Ladies and Gentlemen! ,"raising a helmet to draw attention", one of us is missing, ¿Are you sure to start without him?realizing that a banck was empty

""¿Who's there Princess?"",looking at Celestia

""Well ... there I was going"", making a spreadsheet appear and staring at it

""¡Marcus Anderson!"", answered Carcarof resting her glass on the plate

""! MARCUS ANDERSON THE MOST POWERFUL AND SKILLABLE KNIGHT OF ALL EQUESTRIA,"standing up abruptly, resting his helmets on the glass table", ¿THAT MARCUS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?¡""

""Cooorrect"" , said Alliast leaning back with his helmets on the table and gives a sarcastic giggle

""¡¿The Captain is really going to be here?!"", looking at Carcarof

"" ¡Be here I accept! ,"with eyes closed", but his attention elsewhere is deposited and staying in that place where he preferred, transporting him impossible to be and little interest in coming here to talk, he has""

""¡I got it!...,"her left hand resting on the table and her right elbow resting on the table while her hand was resting on her chin",¡I got it! ,"imitating Zecora," "Not Wanting to Come", we can't make you do something that doesn't interest you! ¿Did you forget? We can start with the ceremony, ¡I'm Super Bored Comrades!""

""Although I admit that I envy him a bit,"leaning on the back with her helmets crossed", being in Whinderland to observe the promises of the new generation! It does not surprise me that he is not Interested!"" informo Gipsy

! Wait¡ ,"surprise", you said Whinderland! ,"looking at Shinning Armor", ¿Isn't that where Twilight Travels?

""That's how love is where she traveled"", covering her face with her helmets remembering the day of the Game

It can't be a little sister, she's there with him, Haaa! How envious is she going to be with the Captain for so long! !Haaaaa¡, !How lucky¡

""! Enough¡,"pnening her eyes", to start with the meeting we must ,"looking at everyone at the table", everyone here will know why we organize in such an old place in particular ,"the atmosphere becomes gloomy and silent, everyone's look even the same Discord was in the same way", All the Presents have witnessed dreaming or seeing such signs, more people without a doubt to see but I decided to only gather you who are closer to the Three Princesses""

This comment surprised Luna who looked at everyone at the table

"" Wait!, "Surprised", Who of everyone here Had Visions? ""

"" I "" said Discord

"" I "", accompanied Candase

"" Me too "", continued Gipsy

"" And I "", Zecora finished

"" Few days ago, "Carcarof took the word", I suffered the same but anyway that doesn't change anything, I suppose that Marcus did not suffer from these visions, if it had been like that, he would have been more interested in this meeting ""

""Talking about the meeting, ¿Who organized it? I don't remember hearing about this"",raising his right hand with open palm

""¡Stop! ¿Did any of you know about the meeting?,"To which they all respond by shaking their heads", ! Who was the Who¡…"", mentioned Allias confused

""! I am the Responsible¡,"serious", a few days ago Zecora contacted me and talked about the visions, I told her that my sister suffered a vision, when I asked to describe it to me they were identical, later I found out that Candase and Captain Gipsy also they suffered visions, this alarmed me and I decided to inform Zecora about the meeting, she accepted and offered to gather everyone here, I'm sorry if it causes problems or removes them from an important moment""

""! Hmm¡ not so much I was just feeding Fluttershy's pets when I get back, ¿will Angel be angry?"",taking out a bag with the "rabbit carrots" badge

"" I understand that you have other issues to be aware of,"placing both helmets on the table and joining them at the height of his nose", not wanting to be demanding with all of you but it deserves it, I have gathered you here around this table, in a last-time meeting for a common issue , the visions randomly appear, some have had them early, others have seen different meanings but all of them always show a truth ... Equestria destroyed be""

The faces of those present clouded when the memories of their visions came back to light, around each one the words that Zecora said illuminated the memory more and more until it became so tenuous that they believed they could find it around them.

""Plunged into chaos and fire, while the flames of a dark being like red eye shadow emerge from them, we feel death, fear, hatred, suffering and destruction on a grand scale hovering in the air. I do not want to draw conclusions or put pressure on those present, but no matter where we see if that will be the end of the world, the question is who are we fighting against? An Old Villain a New Unknown! If the omen of a distant future to be, how alert we must be and how much it deserves to take up arms against an unknown enemy, but this is a secret being, if in light this secret comes out, controversy among the inhabitants will be created even more now than the elements of harmony are not there. ¿What do you all think?""

""In a certain way,"Placing one of her hooves on her cheek", if what we want is to pass this matter unnoticed and in a low profile, first of all, let's discard the option of mobilizing troops for Equestria, there is nothing more suspicious and that draws more public attention than the military movement in their lands or in foreign lands, ah unless we are 100% sure that the threat exists, it is current and not future, then perhaps and only perhaps we decide to mobilize our forces, I really do not want what happened with King Sombra to be repeated during the war"", said Carcarof

""!Speaking of the visions¡,"I speak Candace looking at the glass of the table ", if what you said Zecora is true and that everyone in our visions saw different things I would like them to tell us what they saw""

She looks at the others around her none of them showed signs of rejection towards the idea or denial

""If so I would prefer to start first,"looking at everyone", What I saw was not Equestria on fire or in chaos but rather all its environment inside a building, it was me and 4 other people inside there, I remember that that place was huge as big as a factory and it was dark, I remember that at looking to the sides I could not see the faces of the other four around me, but we all did the same we looked at the darkness, the first thing I saw coming out of it was a White Fire and then a figure, which came out of the shadows, I felt a terrifying and overwhelming presence from her before I could see her face everything was on fire, then I woke up, Shinning Armor woke me up, she told me I was sweating and my breathing was super agitated, a few days later Zecora appeared and asked me about the vision, ¿Who's next?""

""If nobody is bothered I will continue ... what I saw ... was not like yours,answered Gipsy lifthing her right helmet, but rather they were images that passed in front of me in the blink of an eye I remember a total of 3 images that fly wildly In my head, the first was a strange creature, she stared at me and showed me a sinister smile every time I remember her, it made my blood run cold, that thing looked like a shadow, her whole body was covered in that shadow, I remember her eyes They were red in his chest there was ... something like a white ball seemed to be about to explode, then the second was again to that same being but this was different, it was not covered with that darkness or that shadow that moved as if it had life If he seemed to have the same physiology as her, he was an anthropomorphic being, Two feet, Two arms was covered by a cape that reached his knees plus a hood that covered his face so I could not distinguish him, the third ... it was very strange it seemed as if seeing from someone's sight I remember that it was not a Pony but maybe it was a Male because of her hands ...""

¿Hands?, raising his eyebrow bored

""The hands,"ignoring Discord", were holding a kind of broken glass sphere but for some reason every time I remember this photograph in my thoughts the same phrase is always pronounced in a terrifying and spectral way, "¡I see you!", it's always that same phrase with the same terrifying and threatening tone, the following was more or less what you described everything about Equestria on fire and destroyed, I do not remember exactly the other images but there is something that I remember perfectly of one of her, in the destroyed city of Ponyville there were 8 Figures like before, all of them covered by that strange darkness, but they were different, if the previous creatures scared me, they terrified me, their power was enormous, I never felt anything like the same in my life, also not only did I see them in Ponyville they were in the Crystal Empire ,"this worried Candase", those 8 individuals were there but this time there were 3 more with them but I never get to see them well, they 3…""

""¿Sorry for interrupting Gipsy but did you just talk about 8 figures? ¡Would you mind if you could describe them!, interrupted Carcarof with an expression of concern""

! I'm sorry Sir! But even if you asked me,"resting his hooves at the height of his nose", I can't tell how they are all, they are the same, they are all covered in that strange darkness. They are almost indescribable. ¿I could ask you, why are you so interested in it?

""¡That's because they appeared in my Visions!,"leaning on the back of his chair", They were all around me and as you said before, they transmit a terrifying presence but I had no idea that in addition to them there were also 3 others that makes them a total then of 11 of them""

Hearing this, everyone at the table fell silent, it was not difficult to imagine that each of those who had spoken of their visions were connected in one way or another, they all saw the same anthropomorphic creature covered in darkness and the gazes of others. who had visions pointed out that what they would tell would be related to that or those things, it continued like this until Luna took the floor

""If what all of you have said here is true,"placing a helmet on her chin", everyone in some way or another always saw the same or the same beings, that means that there is a great probability that the visions they show are real. It is very likely that if we do not put helmets to work, a horrible tragedy will fall on Equestria and we will regret not acting at the time, so I declare that from now on our highest priority will be to prevent those visions from coming true, Colonel Carcarof I want you to take a total of 20 men forming a special team and use them as spies, shortly you will receive a map with the points to which you must send your men to investigate or patrol, the other Commanders will help with the defense of the Cities, Candase and Armor you will have to send letters to each King and Ruler or President of the Cities do it as far away from the eyes of the people we cannot let chaos and despair dominate the population Discord""

When he looked at Discord, he was lost in his thoughts with his eyes wide open just as his mouth looked through the glass of the table at the floor and did not formulate any words, he seemed out of himself or even dead without a soul in his body.

""! Discord Can you hear me¡…¡ Discord!"",altered

! What¡,"i finally manage to react", ...! What Happens¡! I got lost! ¿Who was Talking to me? ,"I look at one of the Generals, one of the least spoken in the entire Ost board", ¿Was it You? ¿! I thought you were mute?

""! I'm not mute or anything! I just prefer to listen. I'm more of an action pony than..."",desinteresed

He was interrupted by his partner next to Rudy tapping him with the helmet on the back of his neck while he was scrubbing the place of the blow

""Stop making excuses and tell the truth,"catching the Pony's head between his legs and passing the helmet over his head", my heart, what happens is that Ost is shy and unless you earn his trust he will never talk to you, much less with so many people around""

""All that theater was necessary to hide this defect General"",looks at him before a grin forms from ear to ear

But his mocking tone was silenced by the sharp blow to the table from Carcarof's Helmet.

""¡Enough Clowns Princess Luna is Talking!"",annoyed

Finally Luna spoke again, coughing secretly into her helmet

""As I was saying ... Discord,"relaxing", you will personally go to the Headquarters of T.A.S.A and you will talk about what happened at this meeting, we need your support if we want to stop this threat now. that you will be there you will join them, you will be a valuable member. Finally, I and Celestia will travel to Winderland to speak with the city director to reach an agreement for Twilight and The Elements of Harmony to return to Equestria, it will be a penalty for sure but if this threat is as recorded as shown in the visions then the help of the Elements will be of Vital importance from now on ... by the way Captain Gipsy you and your student together with a garrison of 30 men will come with us""

""Wait Princess,"worried", you are sure of this, Twilight may take her role as Equestria's protector very seriously but that she manages to enter the Four Towers Tournament she is really happy if she gets there out of nowhere and wants to take Twilight from back to Equestria not only will she refuse, maybe the others or even the director refuse, after all The Four Towers Event is a very important event and that it is canceled in full action will create problems with them""

""In that case I hope we reach a satisfactory agreement for both sides because if so we will be in big trouble,"serious", Shinning Armor, Princess Candase from now until I and the others leave and return with or without Twilight, you will take care of The Crystal Empire, Canterlot and Ponyville I apologize for leaving this in your hands but the time it will take to get to Winderland from here with a personal ship to Winderland will be much longer than I imagine…""
