Chapter thirteen: The Elements of Disharmony part three: Greed.
Queen Twilight stopped. Daydream was crying. This is because she was very upset about what had happened. "Mommy, please tell me did that nasty human kill, Wallflower"? She asks sobbingly. Queen Twilight looks around, the staff were looking down they were also saddened by the tale. Queen Twilight grabs hold of Daydream and hugs her. Wrapping her wings around her little filly. Who cried profusely. "There, there my sweet. It's okay. I can say that Wallflower lives, she helps her father and Melody keep the gardens of our castle in Ponyville". She says, this seems to cheer Daydream a little. Queen Twilight kisses Daydream forehead and rocks her until she stopped crying. "Shush. Shush. There, there sweetie". Queen Twilight says.
"Do you want me to continue with the story"? Asked Queen Twilight. Daydream could only nod. Even though she was scared and upset. She always feels safe and comforting in her mom's hugs. "Okay but before I do Chef could you make some sweet tea. It always makes me feel better". Says Queen Twilight. The Chef nods and goes to the stove. Queen Twilight then chuckles. She wiggles a bit. "Stop tickling me". She says and chuckles again. This makes Daydream start to giggle. As Queen Twilight pretends that Daydream is tickling her, she says. "Oh no you found my only weakness, I am dying urrrr". Before pretending to die. Lying on her back and pulling a funny face with her tongue sticking out, Queen Twilight pretends to be dead.
"Mommy. You aren't dead? Wake up mommy. Mommy"? Says Daydream. She moved closer and shakes her mother. "Mommy. Come on get up, you're not dead. Are you"? She says her little eyes widen. "No, I am not. Nom, nom, nom". Replies queen Twilight as she grabs hold of Daydream and pretends to eat her again then blows a raspberry on her belly. Daydream squeals and giggles, before hugging her mother. "Love you mommy". She says. And the kitchen staff all say. "Aww". By the affection shown by the Queen to her daughter. "Your Majesty your teas ready". Says the Chef. "Thank you please all of you join us in a cup". Replies the queen. After a few sips she continued the story. "Well when I left off Glad Mane was about to rob Marigold. He waited just enough time for her to be off guard. He approached her door and then listened. He heard Marigold starting to run a bath. Now was the time. With a good buck from his back legs broke the lock.
Marigold had heard the commotion outside her door, and so she approached it. When she was close, Glad Mane gave the door a hard buck. And it flew open and hit Marigold, knocking her backwards. As she lied on the floor, Glad Mane entered. He was grabbing her money and gems. "Money it's mine, all mine". He chuckles. Outside the room Tirek and Flash watched as Glad Mane beat and robbed this little mare of everything. Before leaving. Flash said. "I think we have just found our new ally. Greedy isn't he". And so, they followed him. As they did, he stole gems from another room of the hotel. And then proceeded to rob the hotel safe. Leaving the hotel, he mugged an elderly Stallion. Taking all his bits.
As the two continued to follow him he finally ended up where he called home. An old run-down mansion mile outside of the town. This was his family home from when he was a colt. But since Applejack and Flutter Shy had help Flim and Flam best him, he had no money to fix it up. "What a dump"? Says Flash. "The perfect hideout, we could use it". Replied Tirek. Glad Mane had notice them outside and when for them. "You're not having the money its mine. All mine". He screamed. As he swung an axe at Flash. Flash dodged it and flew up into the air. Tirek grabs the end of the axe and wrenched it from Glad Mane. As the three start to fight a voice booms out. "STOP"! The whole building shook. It was Harbinger. "Master". Says both Flash and Tirek. Glad Mane was shocked there in front of him was a pitch black Alicorn Stallion. With deep red eyes.
"I see you have found the Element of Greed". Harbinger says as he looks upon Glad Mane. "Join us and you will be richer than you could ever imagine". He says. Glad Mane's eyes widened. The thought of all that money coming. It filled him with more greed than ever. "Yes, I will". He says. Harbinger started to say you have done a good job, when he stops. He then closed his eyes as green and black smoke flows from them. "Yes". He looks at his three followers. "I have sensed the other three Elements. You will return to your world and find her near the second largest school in the city. The other is drinking his sorrows away in Dodge junction. The third is in prison. The most secure prison in the whole of Equestria. You will need a key for him to escape". He says. Tirek smiles and says. "Yes master. I will go. But before I do. I wish to show you a little discovery". And takes off his pendant. He turns into a centaur once more. Then puts it back on and retakes human form.
"Impressive. And why do you show us this"? Asked Harbinger. "You see master. I am still able to use this weapon". Tirek says before firing the pistol at a Trash can. The bullet went straight through. Tirek continued. "I thought that if we had more of these pendants all of us could use guns like this one. Or more powerful ones. It would help spread fear quicker if the ponies saw their friends gunned down in front of them". Harbinger thought for a moment before replying. "Good idea". And creates five more. They will use them well, to spread fear and evil across Equestria.
