The Elements of Harmony, one of the strongest forces in the whole of Equestria, returned to its rightful place with the Tree of Harmony to recharge the tree. Until one day, they simply disappeared.

 

At first nobody gave much concern, all was well, the tree maintained the Everfree Forest as usual. Slowly, ponies grew paranoid on what had become of the Elements. Had they been stolen? Taken away by an evil force? Nope.

 

But one morning as you wake up, you found an Element. Yay. But it's stuck to you. What do you do? (Hint, go find Sunbutt )

caliber woke up. "aw, it was a dream?!" he got up, stretched, and started getting dressed.(which was putting his cloak on) he was on the side of the road, by the way. he picked up his sword, and started buckling it in, when he noticed a glimmer on it. inspecting it, he realized there was an element of harmony stuck to his sword! "what...the...buck?" he decided that if anypony knew what to do, it was celestia! he hopped a train, and burst into her throne room. unconscious guards were seen behind him. "celestia!!"

I woke up from my nice 20 hour rest after not sleeping for days filling orders, and realized I was wearing a bracelet with a peculiar stone on my right front hoof. It was stuck and hard to remove, though I could slide if off if I really wanted to.

 

"What's the meaning of this?" I spoke to nopony in particular, and Sparky certainly couldn't answer. Seriously what was happening here? Looks like this was going to be one of those days where I didn't get any work done.

 

If anyone would know about what this is about, Princess Celestia would. I locked up the house, had Sparky transform into the wingpack, and we flew off to the train station. This was important and we needed to be there fast. Landing at the station and startling a couple of Pegasi I paid my fare and got on the Friendship Express to Canterlot.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Waking in the home of Ditzy Doo and Dinky, the first ponies who thought ofnher as their friend and changed her life forever, Chrysteel stretched and grabbed with her magic the muffins Ditzy had left for her. "Hmmm...Made with true love and care. I never can get enough. At least their Love of Friendship keeps me from going truely hungry."

 

Chrysteel steps to a mirror and grooms herself for a day of learning about the different types of love out there. As she goes about polishing her Tiara she notices a new larger gem in it's center. It dawns on her that it wasn't a love storage gem. But it felt so familiar to her.

 

She heads downstairs disguised as her Pegasus self, Amorè Apple. She says to Dinky, "Sorry about our play date, Dinky. Got to go somewhere. Be back in a few days. Tell your mom I will be away a while."

 

Without waiting for a response from the studious unicorn filly, she left. She catches the next train for canterlot. 'Maybe this princess Celestia will know about the gem. also I need to ask her about setting up my own hive to help Equestria with the gifts my people can offer. I also need to find me a Prince to bear a hive with. So much to do, so little time.' She thinks as she travels the train ride to canterlot.

 

-Canterlot 30 minutes later-

 

She arrives at the castle and pulls the letter she had gotten from the princesses a few days ago.

 

It reads:

'To Chrysteel The Changeling Princess;

 

Please show this letter to the guards at the gate and tell them your expected. They will escort you to the throne room. If your words are true and honest, we, the princesses of Equestria, will listen to your proposal and consider it for approval. Your apointment time is...

 

Princess Celestia and Luna of Equestria.'

 

She resumes her true form to show she will hide nothing. And steps up to the gate. After many strange looks and a few pointed lances, she shows the guards the letter and they escort her under tight watch to the throne room. She steps in and bows saying, "I do hope I am not to late your Highness of Equestria. Your letter said where but not when." She has a regal accent and the very well mannered posture of a noble ambassador.

As we were arriving in Canterlot Sparky scanned me a current map of the city so I wouldn't have to rely on memory and we headed to the castle. The guards seemed to be disoriented and seemed to be helping each other stand up. They still tried to bar me from rushing in. Come on this is important. I'd found what I was sure was one of the lost Elements.

 

They tried to stop me thinking I was an intruder of some sort, but I pushed them away with hard lightning constructs. "Out of the way you useless Guards! If you can't protect the castle from invasions, what makes you think you can stop me?" I yelled as some were thrown against walls while others were pushed down to the floor by the hard lightning.

 

With Sparky displaying the map for me, I entered the throne room and willed the hard lightning to dissipate, freeing the guards and letting them crumple wherever they felt like falling. I really had no time for being polite right now. My new bracelet glinted as I entered and I stayed silent looking around the others that had seemed to show up too. I was wondering what would happen.

Starchase woke up late that day. The sun had already been up for hours. He woke to wet kisses from Diamonds and the sun frying his flank. He sat up on the bed, cuddling the pup. His head felt... heavy. Not in a disorienting way, like in mass. He looked down at his neck and-What the hay?! Who'd replace his necklace? What used to be a small lone teardrop shaped sapphire became twice it's size and a different shape. And it sure wasn't the same colour. It was definitely lighter and it looked like his cutie mark to a degree. The plain black string he kept it on wasn't there either, it turned into a strap fitted snuggly around his neck. And it didn't appear to have a clasp of any sort. Bugger.

 

"I've got an element on my neck haven't I?" He asked the puppy. She replied him with more wet nose and kisses. He washed up and headed to his wardrobe, picking a long scarf to hide his new accessory.

 

Off to Celestia's. He trotted through Canterlot like any normal day, greeting the ponies he met.

 

The castle looked a bit off. The guards seemed disoriented and very afraid. Looks like they got beaten up twice already he judged, looking at them with disdain as he walked through. They looked warily at him. He went unimpeded to the throne room, seeking the Princess.

[LordSwinton 759]

Sunbutt I mean Princess Celestia walked in with her grand flank and sat her Sunbutt on the throne.

 

"Welcome my little ponies, and Princess Chrysteel. I'm glad you're all her- Wait! Where are the other elements?!" She demanded, irritated. The guards, cowering in fear in some corner stepped out to appease their ruler with moist chocolate cake from the royal chefs. She stuffed the fattening desert into her royal face all while raising an eyebrows at the group. The throne gave a loud creek. She would need to get a larger one soon. "And next time, just knock, these guards don't have insurance and I don't want them on paid leave."

[Tao 6,719]

Sallie signed, feeling the weight of the scrolls and books in her bags shift. Plowing a plum colored bang from her face the earth mare looked around the paths of Canterlot and wished for a better map but Princess Cadance had asked the chronicler of the Empire to take some scrolls to Canterlot on the request of Princess Celestia to add to her personal library.

 

Not much of a fan of trains and getting motion sickness had made the travel a bit upsetting to the Apple mare. Some of her own family still found it strange that a member of the Apple clan was not any type of farmer! Hades her own mother still seemed a bit stiff when she came home on her days off while her sister and father had just let it go.

 

“Um, ok now which way?” She muttered, feeling a pull to left and enter in a gate to the castle.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel looks to the others gathered and asks, "Did you all wake up with a strange gem as well? My tiara has never felt so full in my life."

 

She was curious about these others and hopes she could share the love of friendship with them. An interesting aura was eminating feom each but she couldn't quite place it.

[LordSwinton 759]

The guards cowered at the sight of yet another visitor. Thus time a mare again, she didn't look vicious but they weren't taking chances after the few visitors. They allowed her in and even gave her directions to the throne room and hoped she wouldn't bash their helmets in.

[P-Jay 1,987]

"yeah, i woke up with it on my sword hilt." caliber explained. "i want it gone, its messing with my swords balance. im guessing y'all just woke up with it, too?" he asked. caliber had been poking at it, hoping it'll fall off. "you dont think i could be a wielder of an element, do you? i dont wanna! you cant make me!"

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel says, "Lady Fortuna has a way of making you become what fate wishes of you. I actually have never felt fuller in my life then I do now."

 

She looks to Celestia and her cake and the to Caliber again before saying, "Lady Celestia sure does love her cake. A love for her subjects and for the sweet homemade food. It is always good when food is made with love and care." She pulls out one of her remaining muffins and offers it to Caliber. "Ditzy's best muffins always feels made with love and care. Try one."

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber grinned. "ditzy? ditzy doo? thats a name iv heard before. ponyville, right? or was it cloudsdale? either way, she makes the best muffins!" he ate it in one bite. "ah...damn my huge appetite." he said. he looked over at celestia eating her cake. "hmmm..." he dashed over there, and stole a piece of cake.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel just chuckles at his antics eating another of her final three muffins. She looks around and then says, "As for the waking up with a gem bit, my tiara has a new gem that isn't a live storage Crystal. It is too big and allot pinker then a storage crystal. But i have never felt so full of love in all my life. Even the love in Ditzy's muffins feel like love directed at me."

 

Chrysteel looks to be smiling genuinely.

[LordSwinton 759]

"How am I suppose to provide exposition if everypony isn't here yet?" The princess shoves more cake into her mouth, smearing her muzzle brown. "I've got a very important mission for you ponies!"

 

"Perhaps there are only 5 elements?" Starchase looked about there certainly wasn't a sixth standing around. He felt rather self conscious about the gem on his neck despite it being hidden under his scarf. The others though seemed perfectly fine with theirs.

 

"Don't be stupid hipster pony, there has only ever been six and six only. Though I'm not sure about stallions being elements." She waved a sticky hoof. " And what in my own name is that?!" Celestia pointed at Sparky. "It looks like a trash can?"

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

"No Princess, that's Sparky and he's my enchanted companion. He doesn't like being called a pet, though trash can might be more insulting." Sparky actually wasn't angry at that, just idling and scanning the room. "Well it would be to me, but I guess Sparky only doesn't like being called a pet."

 

Was that a Changeling, giving out muffins? I wasn't sure if I should be hostile or hungry? It? She? Whatever. Sounded female. She seemed to have few of them and Celestia had a lot of cake, so I just moved over to the cake instead. "Mind if I partake in your cake, Princess?" Even if she refused, I put my muzzle into a bunch of cake and started munching noisily. A girl's gotta eat too.

Chrysteel remains silent for the Tim while the others talk. Once they are done, Chrysteel steps over bowing respectfully, "Lady Celestia, has you and you sister read my letter? I would like to touch on that a little."

 

Chrysteel isn't like the changelings who once attacked Canterlot.

 

She is so far a respectful leader and very kind. She shows a devotion and dependability befitting one of her rank. She has shown some charity And plenty of optimism.

[LordSwinton 759]

"Yeah, that..." She tried her best to swallow down her mouthful of cake. "As long as you don't pull any world domination plot we're all good and friends. You could marry a nice stallion and have kids, cement the peace and all. I think the dashing one is already smitten with you. Here, meet hipster pony (so that I can create unnecessary romantic conflict if needed)!"

 

Starchase found himself being dragged through the air. He wasn't too happy about it. "Sorry, Princess. I am not interested." He apologized but rather stiffly.

 

"It's okay to be attracted to other stallions, young one." She teased. He gave her a face that spelled 'what the hay?!'.

 

Her royal highness reached for another piece of cake and found the plate empty. "WHO TOOK MY CAKE?!" She demanded to know with her Canterlot voice. The guards scrambled about.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel chuckles and says, "I have a budding relationship already in the works. Dinky Doo needs a father and I have asked Ditzy if I could fill that role for now. Dinky and Ditzy both seem happier sense I started helping them." She holds up to Celestia one of the 2 remaining muffins Ditzy made this morning. "Muffin? Ditzy's specialty muffins."

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber looked up at her. with frosting around his muzzle, he plainly stated: "oh, i saw a guard steal it. he's gone, now. probably half-way across equestria, by now, no doubt." he grinned sheepishly. then he ate the last bit. "yes! twas i who stole the delicacy!!" he laughed.

[Tao 6,719]

Hearing the full voice of Celestia in yelling just outside the door got Sallie to flatten hear ears to her head and blink in the shock of hearing such a voice! “Princess Candace was not joking in telling to not mess with cake around this place....”

 

Sensing tings had grown a bit more silent and peaceful the earth mare took to lightly knowing on the door outside “Um Princess Celestia? May I came in? I'm Sallie from the Crystal Empire! “

 

Leaning a bit to peek through the crack in the door, she could make out a few other ponies in the room.

[LordSwinton 759]

"Come on in, my little pony." She spoke in her normal soft voice to Sallie. She straightened herself out and ordered the guards to bring in more cake for evrrypony. "Please excuse me, my patience was thinning. And I love my chocolate cake." She eyed Caliber with mild anger.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

I could swear I'd only had a couple pieces. "Now I see who did that. I only had some of your cake, not all of it." I looked around and saw cake being brought in for everyone. "Oh nice. Thank you Princess." Then I remembered the actual reason I'd come here.

 

"So about this stubborn bracelet on my hoof? What the heck is it doing on me? Would kinda like to be able to take it off and put it back on freely." I spoke between bites of chocolate cake. It was good, but was it nonfat?

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber grinned. "bite me." he said, as he started eating the cake alongside the other element-bearers. "so, celestia, this gem. its messing with my swords balance. im gonna keep the gem and all, but i would really love it if ya could take this gem of my sword"

[LordSwinton 759]

"About those..." She took a look at the elements and dragged 'hipster pony' by the scarf, nearly choking him to death. "There should be a sixth... Are any of you particularly honest, loyal, princess material?" She asked.

 

"No, I don't believe so Princess Celestia. We've never even met before this incident." Starchase wheezed.
