Everypony kept silent and stood looking at the door where Trixie left for what seemed like several minutes before Twilight finally said something.
"...Anypony have a plan?"
Tenebris thought for a while before saying.
"We need to hunt down the elements of destruction before Trixie, that's obvious... but to get out of this barrier... well, we have 3 ponies capable of using magic, we just have to wait a day since I used my wings... but that means she has a head start..."
"What?!?! You mean we're stuck here for an entire day?!?!" Rainbow Dash didn't like the idea of staying in one place for very long.
"Unless you can come up with a better plan, it looks like that's the case" Tenebris said
Just then, Spike walked through the door
"Is Trixie gone yet- Whoa! What happened?"
"No time to explain, Spike, you need to go get help."
"From who?"
"Anypony! Heck, send a letter to Celestia! Her chariot is faster than the train, so it shouldn't take more than an hour or two."
"uh, yeah, alright, I'm on it!" Spike sounded a little panicked.
Tenebris spoke up
"Are we sure we need Celestia here?"
"What do you mean?" Twilight said "Of course we need Celestia! Look, I know you're scared of her because you were with the alliance, but you can trust her, she's not going to send you to the moon, okay? Besides, she doesn't even have the power to do that anymore. The only reason she could was because she used the elements of harmony. and We're the only ones who can use them now, so Celestia can't hurt you."
"But I'm not worried about-.... nevermind..."
"... Tenebris...?"
"I said nevermind... I know I've lightened up a bit lately, but this is serious now. I can't afford to be anything but utterly focused on the task at hand now, I shouldn't have come here in the first place..."
"But Tenebris..."
"Just nevermind, forget I said anything. And I guess you're right anyway. If anypony can break us out of this, it's Celestia..."
----------------------------------------------------------------

"Twilight!" said Celestia as she walked into the library
"So you received our letter" Said Tenebris.
"Yes, and I've brought with me the elements of harmony for you to aid you in your quest."
"But come on, Celestia, first thing's first." Rainbowdash was growing antsy staying in one place for so long "Get us out of this barrier so that we can get on with things!"
"You're right, Rainbowdash." Responded Celestia "But I doubt that I could dispel something this powerful alone. So I brought Shining Armor with me. As you know he specializes in protection magic and barriers of all kind. He's better at making and dispelling them than anypony in Equestria.
"Hey, sis, how's it been?" Shining Armor said as he walked into the room
"Now really isn't the right time for catching up."
"You're right. Let's get you out of there"
Shining Armor bowed his head as he focused his magic. He touched his glowing horn to the barrier which shattered into several pieces that dissipated into the air.
The ponies all grabbed their respective element of harmony and put them on
"Thank you once again, Celestia." Twilight said
"The time for thanks can come later. You have a job to do."
"But where do we stat?"
"I say we get the strongest element of destruction first. You know, so Trixie can't get her hooves on it!" Rainbowdash said. Obviously eager to finally do something
"But I'm just not sure which one that is, Tenebris, do you know?" Twilight asked
"......" Tenebris was in the back of the room, careful not to look Celestia in the eye "... The strongest would be the element of deceit."
"Alright!" Said Rainbowdash "Now how do we find it?"
"You need to find the bearer of the element. Try to think of the person who represents that element best. One who misleads others, try to think of someone who loves trickery and can fool anypony into thinking they are someone else. It's an element of charade more than it is an element of deceit, but that's what a charade is, is it not?"
"Element of charade.... can fool anypony..." Twilight began "That's it! It has to be her!"
"Mind tellin' us who you're thinkin' of, sugar cube?" Applejack said
"It has to be queen Chrysalis. I don't know of anything that could represent deceit and charade more than pretending to be somepony else in order to lead an assault on Canterlot! That was trickery at it's finest."
"Then it seems you have your bearing" Said Celestia "Although I do not know the exact location she is right now, We all saw that she was launched into the dark forest to the North-West of Canterlot. It's uncharted territory, so I'll have to warn you all to be careful."
"Relax, princess, we have our own elements, remember?" Said Rainbowdash
"Yes, but you don't know what dangers lie ahead, it's best to prepare for the worst..."
"I'll go get Fluttersy and give her her element" Said Applejack "Then we can all head out together. It ain't gonna be easy gettin' her to come along, But I recon I could do it."
So Applejack left while the others stood in the library. An entire new world was opened up for them all, and the mysteries it held could not be guessed. But one thing was for sure. They all had to dive in head first in order to save Equestria.
