AN. okay this one unless something comes up before i finish this chapter wont be continuing the Book of Souls. It will be important, i wont post a 'filler' chapter just to get something out. So far i don't have a name for the wolf pup, i don't have a prophecy, and i do have one more oc on his or her way only that character. So the main oc shop is now closed i will however still accept ocs only they wont play a really big role like Thunder Clap and Forest are going to. Ill see you at the end of the chapter.

When we got to the castle Reaper Mandalore was waiting outside.

"why are we meting here" he asked me.

"i want my sister to give her thoughts on things." i replied

we entered the castle and were greeted by spike.

"oh, its you." he said.

"i think you might want to talk to him." i whispered to rarity.

She nodded.

"spike, as much as i like you, a relationship just wouldn't work out between us. Not because your a dragon, but because your a baby dragon. I know you probably hate me right now but just know that i still like you as a friend."

spike nodded and walked away.

"that was awkward." my sister said. "what are you 3 doing here?"
"were here to talk to you." i replied.

"OK, lets go to the centre room." she replied.

"tell me twilight, did you find anything at the castle?" i asked when we got to a room with a map and thrones.

"i found the best proof at what you said."

"you found a journal?" rarity asked.

"even better. I met Luna's fiance."

"her fiance?" the three of us asked in unison.

"yes, hes a alicorn called Cyclone, but i think that there back to dating since they haven't seen each other in 1000 years."

"even if they had a kid?" reaper asked.

"it would seem that way, i didn't listen to there full conversation, but it would seem to me that Cyclone either forgot or doesn't know about ever having a kid."

"hm. With that out of the way, lets go at the other big thing that happened yesterday. Lets talk about Celestia wanting me dead." i said. "please tell me you didn't tell Celestia this?"

"no i haven't yet, i don't think i will." my sister replied.

"i would appreciate that." i replied. "what would cause her to order an innocent pony like me to be hunted down?" i don't know, but i will be taking a trip to Canterlot, maybe i could poke around and see what i can find."

"thank you. Now for the next big thing, what is to happen to Reaper here?" i asked.

"well i did some reading to calm my mind, and i came across set of elements that seem to be almost as powerful as the elements of harmony. There power depends on the total power of the users." she said. 'they're called the Elements of Nature, the elements are water, air, fire, earth, lightning, and a darkness."

"sounds interesting" rarity said.

"the most interesting thing about them is that they are supposed to be with the tree of harmony, the thing is when ever i am there i never noticed anything like that, also the last element, darkness. Is missing."

"missing how?" i asked.

"just like my element. To find the element of magic a spark was needed. I guess to find darkness a spark would be needed, but i cant find anything else on the subject so im going just on that."

"well, lets draw some comparisons first. Air would equal kindness, lightning would be loyalty, earth would be loyalty, fire would be laughter, water would be generosity and darkness would be magic. So who would be parallels to these?"

"well from pony's i know, you seem like darkness, and reaper here seems to be fire." my sister said.

"what makes you say that?" reaper asked.

"the fire in your eyes." my sister replied. "i think i saw what my brother here saw, i see fire inside you."

"she makes a point." i said. "well in the past few days i met some pony's named Thunder Clap and Forest they could be one of the elements. Going on the parallels i would think Forest would be air, and Thunder Clap" i was cut off.

"what about me." i voice said behind us.

We turned to see Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Forest, Thunder Clap a green earth pony and a brown Pegasus.

"were just making parallels for these new elements i discovered." my sister said.

"cool" he replied.

"before i forget" Rainbow said. "this is Agua and my brother Zonedrone."

"you have a brother?" twilight asked the Pegasus.

"yeah, hes moving here so i decided to show him and his friend around." she said "then i found out that the others were showing forest round so i joined them."

"hi" both Agua and Zonedrone said.

"well looks like the whole gang is here." twilight said.

"well since we seem to have what were looking for lets head to the tree of harmony."

"the tree of harmony inside the everfree forest?" Agua asked.

"the very same" pinkie said.

The chamber of the tree of harmony seemed to be coloured in six different colours. Black, red, blue, white, yellow, and brown.

"why is there 6 colours everywhere?" my sister asked. As she said the i stepped into the black area and it disappeared.

"where did the black go?" i asked. I stepped into the red and the black reappeared.

"it would seem to me that the black responds to you." my sister said.

"OK, Reaper step in the red." as i said this i stepped back into the black as Reaper stepped into the red. The red disappeared.

"the rest of you try find a colour that responds to you." i said.

After many try's Forest ended up in the white, Agua was in the blue, Thunder Clap was in the yellow, and Zonedrone was in the brown. When the colours disappeared the tree of harmony rotated to show a different side. In the centre where my sister cutie mark was, showed my cutie mark. Were Fluttershy's was, was Forest's cutie mark, in place of Pinkie Pie's was reapers scythe cutie mark, Thunder Clap's cutie mark was in place of Rainbow Dash's, rarity's was taken by Agua's wave cutie mark and applejack's was replaced by Zonedrone's bee cutie mark.

"what dose it mean?" twilight asked nopony in particular.

"its very obvious Twilight Sparkle." a voice i recognized said behind us.

We turned around to see Princess Luna. Everypony except me and twilight bowed.

"it means that these 6 pony's here are the elements of nature. Reaper Mandalore represents the fire the keeps the world warm from the inside. Agua represents the water that helps give life to our world. Forest represents the air that sustains life here. Thunder Clap represents the lightning that gives electricity. Zonedrone represents the earth that we stand on. And my student Shadow Seeker represents the darkness that comes with my night." after she said this she shot a magic beam at the tree. Once hi the tree released a magic pulse that gave me a platinum crown with a ruby in the shape of a sword as the centre piece. And the rest platinum necklaces that held a gem in the shape of there cutie mark.

"what are these?" Reaper asked.

"these are the elements of nature, much like the elements of harmony there physical form is a crown and 5 necklaces bearing the wielders cutie mark." Luna responded. "it wasn't luck that you found the book that mentions them twilight, i placed it there myself last night."

"but why?" my sister asked the princess of the night.

"because a great evil will awaken soon and the elements of harmony wont be enough to destroy him."

"who is this evil?" i asked.

"i fear it will be Cyclone but it would most likely be a powerful dragon. If it is the dragon, even with these 12 elements i fear they might not be enough. There is only one thing that can stop him, and to get them the elements of nature will need to travel all around Equestria, and with the help from twilight's map they will be able to achieve this."

"how will that map help them?" rarity questioned.

"the map is connected to the tree of harmony as are the elements of nature, it will work just like it dose for you 6. only it will happen soon." as she said this the cutie mark of Agua, Zonedrone, Reaper, Forest, Thunder Clap and mine started glowing.

"it seem to have happened now, go to the map and where it shows you to go, only one will be found at a time but all 6 of you must go."

"yes princess." Twilight said.

"Luna?" i asked.

"yes my student."

"i need to talk to you with Reaper."

"of course."

the rest left leaving just the 3 of us left.

"i know that you have a lot to deal with right now but reaper here is a decedent of yours."

"what do you mean?"

"i mean that reaper here is part of your family."

"is this true?" she asked the red unicorn.

"yes, i was abandoned by my parents when they discovered i was not very powerful with magic."
"but know your the second strongest unicorn in a group that surpass the power of the elements of harmony. In order of power darkness is the strongest element, followed by fire then lightning, air, earth, water. Is that all?"

"there is more then just that. It might not be true but i heard rumours that my parents were killed, leaving me the only survivor."

"if they lived in the village i think they live in then yes the probably are dead. But now you have me as your family. I was going to keep this information to myself but, Shadow. Celestia is your ancestor."

both me and Reaper were surprised.

"who did she have a kid with/' i asked.

"the pony who explains why you have a black coat, King Sombra."

AN. there we go cliffhanger for you all. The idea of shadow being related to Sombra was something i considered for a long time, paring him up with Celestia is more of a twist considering she wants him dead. The characters introduced in this chapter are Agua from bluecatcinema and Zonedrone created by me. Believe it or not i originally planed Celestia to attack shadow while he was talking to twilight in the castle. Don't worry about the wolf from the previous chapter, he was left of at rarity's place even though i didn't write that in. Still need names for him. Also still need a prophecy and always need more ocs. So ill update soon.
