Luna sat bawling in her sister’s grasp, pleading for her very life hoping that the end would not come this soon to her and her sister.

“S-Sister,” Luna said wiping her tears, “If this truly is the end, I must let you know that I love you big sister. No matter what happens I will love you Celestia.” She then hugged her older sister as she began to cry once again.

Celestia shot up, “Luna! That’s it! Our love for each other and the Elements of Harmony should help with what we must accomplish!” Celestia had a cheery type of tone now, a plan hatching in her brain.

Luna stood up, “The Elements of Harmony! Of course! We can use them to weaken him, if not completely turn him to stone. It’s not something I wish upon dear older brother, but he’s given us absolutely no choice but to do this. He must be stopped before he hurts somepony else!” Luna began to sound concerned.

Celestia nodded, “Yes, let us hurry to the chamber they’re in.” Celestia then opened the door and rushed in the the throne room, she then moved the chair to reveal a safe, one that can only be unlocked by Celestia or Luna’s magic. Celestia inserted her horn and the tumblers began to come undone, but when it opened. The elements were gone!

“On no no no no no no no no! Celestia! This is not good! He’s got the elements! We can’t defeat him without the elements!” Luna began hyperventilating, when the same booming voice towered over them.

“Your precious elements are hidden in plain sight. But without open eyes, you’ll miss their location. A place everypony fears, one full of danger and tales of murderous beings. You must travel to this place to find your precious elements. But you’re on a time limit sisters, you musn’t keep me waiting. You know how dreadfully impatient I am. Good luck, you’ll most certainly need it.” He laughed a wicked laugh, that towered over them for several moments.

Luna looked to her older sister and gulped, “D-Did h-he m-mean…” She couldn’t finish her thought the fear had overtaken her as she shook as if freezing cold.

Celestia looked easily as distraught, but managed to reply to her, “Yes Luna, Eclipse meant,” she paused for a moment and gulped slightly, “The Everfree Forest .” The very name sending chills down their spines. “I don’t like it any more than you do Luna. There’s a reason everypony kept out of there! And without our guards we very might as well be, it’s next unsuspecting prey.”

Luna gasped, “D-Don’t say that,” Luna, now completely consumed by the pure fear of having to venture into the Everfree Forest, replied. “W-We’ll make it through, we have to! To avenge everypony’s attempt to stop him, we must bring this madness to a halt!” Luna’s words echoed through the room, thought her body still trembling in fear.

“Yes sister, we shall survive, and if we don’t…” Celestia stopped her thought and teared up, not wanting to think of the effects of not getting through alive, or not being able to defeat their brother. She shook the thought from her mind, and went over to Luna, “Dear little sister, we must try. For the fate of everypony in Equestria.”

Luna looked up at her sister and took a deep breath, “Okay sister, we’ll prepare for the journey.”

Just then Celestia received a letter, it suddenly piecing itself together. She picked it up and read it aloud, “When you get to Ponyville, make sure you are on the ground for your wings and horns will disappear. A counter-measure to keep you from cheating. Unfortunately, the same goes for me. But the spell will be broken when you arrive where the elements are. So when your wings and horns suddenly appear, that means you’re close to the gold at the end of the rainbow.” At the bottom was stamped ‘~Eclipse’

“Well Luna, looks like our journey is going to be harder than anypony would have expected.” Celestia finished grimly, looking to her little sister. “Now I can’t at all guarantee either of us will survive…”
