Its hard for me to do some changes, but its worth doing and what will Twilight do, even getting some help with Discord. For he is not too bad, that he was trying to be a good friend to her
I just thought of the snow queen, Nerissa in Enchanted and from My Little Pony G1 Escape from Catrina. Will make a villain for this story, which I called her Merissa, the snow cat.
In the throne room of Canterlot castle, Twilight and Spike had told the two alicorn sisters of what happed, with Cadence and Twilight's brother Shining Armour as they heard the break in and now they were horrified of what happen.
Twilight wept with tears, as she couldn't anything to save her friends.
"Don't worry Twilight." Said Shining Armour putting his hoof around his little sister, "We'll find them. I promise."
"We all will." added Cadence. "But what is it those…goblin cats wanted the book they stole from the Archive last night?"
Spike explained as he remembers. "Ember said the goblin cats are supposed to be extinct. As they're supposed to be gone."
"Indeed," agreed Celestia as she heard of those creature. "The goblin cats are terrible beast and they have been gone for centuries. I never thought they will be here."
"But that's not all," Twilight continued, "they were sent to take the book for their…mistress, that I don't who. But for what we hear before we were separated, they were trying to find this the golden heart."
Celestia and Luna were stung, they never heard of this for a long time. Which made Twilight confused.
"What wrong?"
"This is exactly of what I fear," Celestia sigh, "a great danger that we never thought."
"But sister we don't know if it does exist." Luna tell Celestia, "even without the book we may don't have a clue."
"What are you taking about?" Twilight wonder, "What do you mean? What if it does exist?"
Celestia sigh and explain, "The golden heart is a legendry heart shape relic made in pure gold.
"It has the power to changes and give life to every hearts. By healing and reach within themselves. And also helping to understand of caring, hope, believing and harmony. It can turn all cold stone heart in to pure gold and make the feeling grow to see the light."
"That's beautiful." Cadence amazed.
"It was has the power of goodness," Celestia went on. "Enough power to banish evil and give greatest powers."
"It was the first thing that we're trying to find," added Luna, "while dealing with Discord."
Twilight was surprise from what Luna said.
"The book that was stolen was supposed to give us the clues to find it, but we couldn't get a clue and we are not sure if the golden heart does exist."
"We thought that if we can find it, we can use it to stop Discord." Celestia continued, "But we found no tress of it, so we have use something different, by discovering the elements of harmony."
Twilight had never realized it and she never heard of the golden heart, before the elements.
"I bet that's why those goblin cats are after." said Shining Armour. "But who is their mistress and what do they want with the golden heart?"
"If any evil is trying to find it and use for they dark minds." Luna went on. "By reversing its powers into something bad. It will be a great disaster and nothing will stand ageist it."
"But still we don't more of the golden heart or where it was hidden." Celestia sigh as she look out the window. "If only we learn more of it and learn where to find it."
"We don't know who controls the goblin cats," said Luna, "and who their mistress is. But one thing we know they'll do anything to get control over Equestria."
"But what I saw back there," said Spike, "the book was be pulled apart. The goblin cats had one half of it and Ember has got the other half."
"And if the golden heart does exist," said Twilight, "we need to find it first. But we must locate my friends."
"That's the first thing we need to do," Celestia agreed, "if they're still alive and hope they are safe, where ever they are."
Twilight was now so worried for her friends, even Ember and pay for their safety.
Spike feel the same way and who knows what will happen.
In the cave in the mountain, where is dark and gloom. The goblin cats appeared for the portal, with only half of the book.
"We've finally made it." Black Claw puff out.
"Yes," snapped Azrael angry, "but we have only half of the book and we suppose to bring here intact! Do you know what happen, if the mistress see this?!"
"She'll kill us?" wonder Whiskers in panic.
Just then, a roaring voice came echo through the cave. "I heard you are back. Have you got what I wanted?"
The goblin cats are in big trouble as they shacking with fear, then Azrael replied, "Yes, we've got…"
"Excellent, now bring it to me!"
The goblin cats went to their mistress's chamber, as she reviled herself from the shadows.
She was a huge snow cat with bright blue eyes, she was wearing a dark purple robe and had long sharp claws with dark magic in them. Her name is Merissa.
"Well, where is it?" she hissed to her goblin cats.
Azrael show her the book, it was the one she has been looking for. But to the goblin cats' fears, she notices the half of it is missing.
"What just happen to it?"
"Well…" explained Azrael nervously "it has been burst off in half."
Merissa was in rage with anger. "Burst off in half?! I told you want this book in one peace! How did it happen?!"
The goblin cats don't know what to do, until Whiskers cried. "IT'S NOT OUR FAULT! There were those ponies with Princess Twilight, we don't how they found us and they have found out of what we're up to!"
"They almost got us," added Black claw, "but we've got away."
"But not with the rest of the book." complied Merissa
She look in to the book, checking the pages. Trying to find the golden heart, the one that can changes all hearts. But most of the pages are missing, they were in the other half and along with the secret.
"How could you lose the other half of the book?" complied Merissa.
Azrael told her what happen and how they are foolish to fell in the two portal. And they realized that the red unicorn is the one hold the book, before it was torn in half. So she, the earth pony and the weeping pegasus must have the other half, when they fell in the portal.
"Who is this red unicorn?" ask Merissa.
"We don't know," Black Claw explain, "But she is the new student to Princess Celestia."
"Really? And you let her slip away with the book, didn't you?"
"We're sorry mistress," said Whisker, "and like I said, it wasn't our fault."
"Oh quit your weaning." Snapped the big snow she-cat, "For now we must find the ponies who had the other half of the book and continued the hunt.
"If they learn about the golden heart, they'll be searching for it too."
"But those ponies who surprise us not just any ponies," said Azrael, "they percuss the elements of harmony and as long they willing to use them, we are not safe."
"You're right there," said Merissa, she learn of the elements and what they can do, but that won't stop her, "but fear not, once we have the heart, I'll make sure they fail."
"But how do you know if the golden heart exist?" ask Black Claw.
"Oh, but it does," Merissa continue as she to her mirror, "those two alicorn sisters couldn't find it long ago, but I will. Soon it will be my grasped, once I will reverse its powers and use it to get control on every feelings and hearts in those pitiful ponies.
"Nothing will stop me from taking over Equesrtia and no little pony is going to stop me."
Twilight and Spike went to take a wonder in Canterlot courtyard, they thought some fresh air will make them better, but it didn't. Twilight is still worried about her friends and she couldn't get her mind of them. Even she can't get her mind of the golden heart that she learned from Princess Celestia had told her and how could not find it. But someone terrible is looking for is and Ember has got the other half of the book.
"I know how you feel Twilight." Said Spike patter her back. "I'm worried about them too. Even Rarity, do you think she'll be safe?"
"She with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie." Twilight said to remind Spike. "I sure she'll be fine. But I hope Fluttershy won't be too afraid, now she with Applejack and Ember."
"You still wondering about the golden heart?" Spike wonder.
"I just couldn't get it out of my mind. And if the princesses couldn't manage to find it, maybe I can. If we had the book the goblin cats stole."
"So, what do you think we should do?"
Twilight sighed sadly and hung her head. "I don't know Spike. I just don't know."
She and Spike were in silent for a few second, when a voice appeared to them. "Well somepony is having a bad day."
Twilight and Spike jump with a start, but they know that voice anywhere and Twilight was not surprise or unconvertible to guess who.
"Discord. Why am I not surprise?"
It is Discord, the master of chaos. As he appeared to Twilight and Spike.
"Yes it is me and it been a while seen you see me. I've just heard of what happen in Canterlot. How there a break in, am I right?"
"Yes." Twilight moaned. "And we were so close to caught those monsters that stole that book from the Archive and now friends are lost some way in Equestira."
Discord was surprise of what Twilight told him and came with a question and with worried look in his eyes. "Even my dear sweet Fluttershy?"
"Even Fluttershy." Said Spike as he rolled his eyes. "And its no thanks to those goblin cats."
"Goblin cats?" Discord wonder. "I've never heard of those things for a long time." And the he continued. "And you know what else surprise me. Is that the princesses had mention something that they were trying to use this golden heart on me, before they discovered the elements of harmony."
That brings Twilight a surprising shock when he mention the golden heart. "How did you know that?" she inquired.
"I was curious." Said Discord as he appeared beside her and patter his lion arm around her. "When I was listen in the thorn room without you knowing I was there."
"Were you spying on us?" Twilight moaned.
"I wanted to be in the fun. And you wouldn't lose your friends, if you could have ask for my help. Besides I did promise I can use my magic for good insisted of evil, if that what Celestia wanted and what Fluttershy wanted."
"Well you've could have appeared and if you are a good friend, then you were willing to help."
"I said you could have ask me, then I'll make things easier for you."
"He does have a point." Spike whisper to Twilight. "Even he is reformed."
Twilight sighed and admitted that Discord can help a lot. If he does not bug her out. "How can you help Discord?"
Discord showed his grin and please that Twilight had accepted his offer as he float in the air. "I'm glad you ask Twilight. For that, I can locate you friends with every magic I've had. But it will take me some time and the one place you should start…is in Ponyville."
Twilight and Spike were confused as they look at other. "Why do we need to go to Ponyville?" Twilight turn to Discord and asked.
"This the one thing you should go to." Discord suggested, then he mention. "Oh and by the way. I've heard a new pony had just came in a few day ago and became a new student to Princess Celestia. Was her name ember Pureheart?"
Twilight nodded.
"I had never get a chance to meet that pony." Discord continued. "But I can sense something interesting about her, for there is a great spark that big and bright within her. Some sort of powerful magic that I don't know about."
"What do you mean?" Twilight wondered.
"How do I know? But if she a unicorn and she can use her magic, then she should be easy to find."
"She with Applejack and Fluttershy." Said Spike.
"Excellent." Said Discord in delight. "So I'll start searching right now." The he disappeared, leaving Twilight and Spike behind.
"Do you think he can really locate Ember's magic?" Spike ask. "I mean Ember hasn't even met him yet."
"But she did learn about him." Said Twilight. "And Ember did use her seeking spell to find the goblin cats. Perhaps she can do it again or use some other spells."
"So what do we do now?"
Twilight though about Ponyville, the place where Discord said she should go to. If he is right or if his is not playing a game. Then she and Spike should go there. She get the little dragon on her back and fly hurry back to Ponyville to her library to work things out.
