Celestia sat in the throne room, reading over the letter. She was about to send out a group of guards to look for Twilight, when a purple cloud of smoke crept under the door. It took shape. Twilight stood in the middle of the room.

"Twilight?" Celestia asked. "What are you-" She didn't finish the sentence. Twilight rushed at her, using her magic. The sun princess raised a shield. BOOM! The force of the blow echoed throughout the room. Celestia's shield cracked. Twilight smiled and hit the shield, breaking it.

"No." Celestia's eyes glowed. A beam of blinding light hit Twilight. She got up, bewilderment running across her eyes. She spread her wings and, breaking a window, flew away to the frozen north.

Princess Celestia sat down, tears dripping off her face.

Author's Notes:

Again, short chapter, but an ok one. Anyone seeing a parallel to a certain unicorn?
