Sorry for the shorter chapter this time around, guys. I wrote this and wasn't quite satisfied, so I had to work on it. Hopefully my work made it better. :) I welcome constructive feedback! Please continue to review and thank you for reading! :D

But leaving the dungeon was much easier said than done. I had teleported in; that seemed to be my only way out as well.

"You got in here by focusing on anger," Twilight whispered. "Get out by focusing on light and love." She winced at her pain.

"But I can't. Not with you like this."

Twilight considered this. "Then focus on this song." Quietly she began to sing.

"Whoa-oh-ooh, I got the music in me, whoa-oh-ooh; don't need to hear a crowd cheering out my name…"

I knew the song. Twilight had told me about how the human counterpart to Fluttershy had written it and how she used it as the counter-spell against the sirens. Of course, it was written as a soft rock song, but the way Twilight sang it now made it as soothing and gentle as a lullaby. I focused on the lyrics and on how much love they contained. As I did, I felt the alicorn magic flowing through me in electric tingles again.

I opened my eyes to find myself back in Twilight's treehouse bedroom. I blinked in surprise. Had I left at all? Yes, the window was still open.

I sat down and folded my wings over my arms, shaken. At least I knew where Twilight was. The other princesses, however, were a pony of a different color. I had to find all of them to save Equestria.

"Find the Elements." Twilight's words echoed in my mind.

I peeked over the edge and realized the Mane Six's remaining members had left. They must have gone looking when they saw I had gone. The five of them bore five of the Elements—honesty, loyalty, laughter, generosity, kindness. That left magic. Who in all of Equestria was worthy of bearing that Element besides Twilight herself?

I didn't know.

Suddenly I remembered the book that I found in the Canterlot Palace library. What had been its title? I tried hard to remember.

Suddenly I did. It had been called "Future".

Hoping that somehow, some way Twilight had a copy, I dashed down the stairs and began scouring the shelves. To my immense relief, I found the book—but not after I had dumped almost the entire contents of Twilight's library on the floor. I made a mental note to clean it up later (when the fate of Equestria wasn't hanging in the balance anymore) and sat down to study the book.

I was surprised to discover that there was actually much more known about this future alicorn than Twilight had had time to tell me. Starswirl the Bearded had only had a few moments in the future, but he had learned much.

The alicorn's cutie mark proved to be truly revealing. It signified all six Elements of Harmony working together and multiplying their magic. The broken sword signified peace—the ultimate form of harmony. Her special talent must have been bringing all the Elements together for their ultimate use.

I froze in suspense, however, when I saw what came next.

According to the book, this alicorn had a special connection with the unknown seventh Element of Harmony. It was known to the ponies as "Armonia", meaning "harmony".

What was her connection? Not even Starswirl the Bearded had known. But the seventh Element, from what I read, was the most powerful of all. Why? Simply put, it was the fulfillment of all the other six. It carried within itself all of their combined magic and more.

Most amazing of all, Armonia—if that was indeed the Element's name—was fully capable of performing magic-of-friendship spells all on its own. Whoever had Armonia ruled Equestria—its magic was more powerful than the six combined.

I got more and more excited. If I could find the one destined to become this alicorn, I could find the seventh Element of Harmony. Equestria would be saved!

I looked down at my necklace and studied the intricately carved alicorn—this mysterious prophesied one whom nopony knew or had seen. She had to be the one.

I didn't know where to start looking, or even what I was looking for. But I did know I had to find this lucky pony destined to be the fifth and final alicorn princess.

And I had to find her fast.
