private The Twelve New Elements: Elements of Emotion

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"Do I look happy, Lyona?" Emerald glared ahead without looking at the mare. "Don't be so naive - learn from other ponies mistakes." She added much more quietly and sadly.

 

She waited to see what was going to happen next with the new 'princess' - no doubt the pegasus was fuming to her self-assured self and wouldn't want to speak further.

[LittleRawr 679]

Lyona opened her mouth, but then closed it with a snap. 

 

It's better to just say nothing. She's not worth it. The pegasus decided. Lyona ruffed her wings. Great, now I have a itch. Can't just start preening myself in the middle of the meeting. As tempting as it is. 

[sunne 660]

In the Everfree, a lone mare was wandering, with nothing to do. She had a singsong voice, with a deep purple coat, gowing orange eyes, and a midnight blue mane. She suddenly heard a voice.

"Nocturne... This would be your cue... They are gathered in the tree that doubles as a Library... Set it ablaze and lure whoever survives into the forest. Once they're in the forest, your job is done. The Timberwolves will take over. "

"Of course. You do remember my condition, correct?"

"I do, and it shall be when you have completed your task."

"Very well."

An eerie orange aura surrounded the mare's broken horn as she gathered the magic for a teleportation spell. She arrived on the outskirts of the Forest earest to the Library.

"I hope you had a splendid day, little ponies, as it was your last," she cooed as the aura appeared once more and the tree was set ablaze.

"A simple, weak Fire spell.Not my best work, i admit, but it shall do." Nocturne said, before starting to sing loudly. Her voice was eerie but alluring as well, and it would bring anypony to do anything if she truly wanted.

Sunny noticed the arguing, but it seemed to be over before she could even try to calm them down.

"First, I would like a moment of silence to honor the late Princess and Bearers of Harmony."

 

After the moment of silence, she looked around at all of the ponies in the room. She knew she had sent more letters. It was disappointing to see that some had not shown, but they would have to ignore it and move on.

"As you all know, there are twelve new Elements; The Elements of Emotion. I'msure you are all wondering  what the specific Elements are. They are Joy, Inspiration, Pride, Hope, Enthusiasm... Hate, Fear, Jealousy, Defeat, Sadness, and, most interesting of all, there are two Love Elements."

She let this sink in before continuing.

 

Firecracker tilted her head and thought. Beside her, Colour Spark glanced at her sister.

If I were to be one of the Elements, i suppose I would be Inspiration. Firecracker would undoubtedly be Enthusiasm. Though, who even knows if we even are Elements...

 

Symphony mulled it over in her head.

I doubt i'm anything, but I suppose I would be Fear... or Joy, maybe. ponies are always happy after hearing me sing...

 

Sunny continued after a few moments of letting the ponies think.

"So... we have a couple of... theories on how to figure out who is an Element. We-"

 

She was cut off by a sound of some sort - it sounded like... fire? She looked around and saw that a wall was on fire and the flames were spreading - fast.

 

"Everypony OUT!" she yelled as smoke filled the room. She opened the door  with her magic and started trying to help other ponies out.

 

Firecracker jumped at the mare's yell and darted out. She turned to her sister.

"C'mon Sparky!"

"No. N-not yet. i'm going to help others if they have trouble."

"You're right. I'll help too."

 

Sweet Symphony was so shocked by the fire that she was frozen in place. She just watched everypony else.

 

((You're all supposed to get out. Scholar, have Gold help the others out and go with them into the forest. A letter will come to you once you reach the clearing.))

[LittleRawr 679]

 

 

"Everypony OUT!"

 

Lyona had been listening attentively to the Princess-to-be, until the fire started.

 

I have to get everypony out! The pegasus quickly stood up from her place. She spotted Sweet Symphony frozen in place, and rushed to her.

 

" Come on! Get out! Don't just sit there!" Lyona cried, and nudged her to the exit. She then flew away to help everypony else. 

[Penguin 34]

Winter coughs as the smoke sinks into him, trying to get out of the room as he stupidly facehoofs himself, "What am I doing... I should help out... Besides I know Ice magic..." He looks around the room seeing if anypony needs help as one such pony sat there frozen and not moving. Suddenly he looks up as a beam starts tumbling down towards the helpless pony. Acting quickly, he casts a spell, freezing the burning beam at place then quickly rushes to the pony and grabs one of it's hooves then casts a short distance teleportation spell to get out of the library into the entrance of the Everfree Forest. He lets go of the pony seeing that it's a mare then tells her to follow everyone else as he goes back to the library trying to see if anyone else needs help.

@@Penguin, @@LittleRawr,

((Seeing as Lona only nudged her, I'm going to let that mess up slide))

 

Symphony was still frozen even after the mare yelled at her and nudged her, and before she knew it, a stallion was grabbing her hoof and teleporting her to the Everfree. She coughed. She wasn't used to being teleported.

"Uh, thanks," she said. "I froze from the shock... Um, so thanks for getting me out."

[LittleRawr 679]

@@Mint Drop,

 

(I wasn't sure if Lyona was allowed to get her out, so I just made her nudge Symphony instead.)

 

Seems like everypony is getting out. Lyona flapped her wings in front of her face, to clear the air a little for her. As much as she wanted to help, she couldn't stay here for too long. Since Lyona was a pegasus, the smoke and flames were not treating her well. 

 

Better get out myself. She ran out as quickly as she could, coughing. Eyes watering, Lyona ran away far enough for the smoke to not affect her anymore. The pegasus sat down, coughing and panting. 

[DarkDarsi 124]

"Fire, Bloody Brilliant."

Persistence starts walking calmly towards the door, one having to speed up once to avoid a falling bookshelf.

Once outside she looked around, seeing everypony else had made it out in one piece, she walks towards a Pegasus who looked like she was having difficulty recovering.

 

@@LittleRawr

 

"You alright love?"

[LittleRawr 679]

 

 

"You alright love?"

 

" Yeah-" Lyona coughs mid sentence. " Just need a moment to recover. Not sure about other pegasi, but I'm pretty sensitive to air. If that makes sense. " She added. After taking a couple more moments to breathe, she looked up again.

 

" Did you see where everypony went?"

[Midnight Blade 80]

While saving the few books that were helpfull while in the library Midnight got out.

"How could that have started?" He wondered.

Since it was an average day in Equestria it couldn't have been because it was too hot outside.

The flames got too hot for Midnight so he decided to leave it. Surely it couldn't be on purpose since nopony outide the ponies that recieved the letters knew what was going on, right?

Midnight followed the other ponies with the books floating right after him.

[DarkDarsi 124]

" Did you see where everypony went?"

"Yeah, Most are still over by the Princess, you walk the other way. You sure your Ok? If so, wanna help me see if any of the other are in need of help?"

Persi look at the mare,

'Pretty thing isn't she. Wonder what her name is. Oh wait'

She offers a hoof up and says,

"Name's Persistence by the way"

[LittleRawr 679]

 

 

"Yeah, Most are still over by the Princess, you walk the other way.

 

" I suppose that I'll have to head over there then." Lyona stood up.

 

 

 

ou sure your Ok? If so, wanna help me see if any of the other are in need of help?"

 

" Don't worry, I'm fine." Lyona smiled at the pony. " I think everypony got out, though. I didn't see anypony else when I left. "

 

But still... Aw, why not? The Princess can wait a little.

 

" Actually, maybe it's best to go over and check. Just in case. I'm Lyona." She shook the pony's hoof, another warm smile on her face. 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

At the first sign of fire, Emerald had fled. Being afraid has its uses sometimes - she never expected to be safe.

 

The forest was as good a place as any to be: it was quiet there and the dangers were obvious - a manticore wouldn't act like a friend before it tried to eat you. Wandering through the cool trees she considered returning to help the others for the briefest of moments.

 

"Why? So they can turn on me later?" She spat the words to the ground and she walked purposefully in no particular direction.

[Feather Gem 967]

Chamois blinked and stood up very slowly.  She took a deep breathe and exhaled slowly.  She then walked out of the library.  When she was out, she looked back at the library and felt a stab of sadness.

The books.  The poor books.  All the beautiful work put into them and now some of them are going to be gone.  No matter how many copies were made...it was horrible.

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 20]

Apolyon was meditating when he smelt smoke.  He brought himself out of his meditative state and located all the rare books in the library using a teleport spell he teleported all the rare books outside. Next he let his alter ego take over. Apolyon raged up the stairs looking for any ponys. Once he was sure there were none he jumped out of the top floor balcony, Landing on all four hooves he charged around the burning building for a group of ponys and the rare books luckily both were present. Running to the group of ponys and asked in a very deep voice "are there any ponys not" Apolyon stopped moving as if he was peralised and then continued in a higher voice "is every-pony alright?" Apolyon stops to catch his breath.

Moon was confused at first by this fire which had come toward the library, quickly smelling it's smoke that burned. Luckily she was near the entrance and felt her way out. She was pushed along by a few other ponies of course, which caused her to stumble and fall right in front of Sunny Dew.

"Uff.. Am, am I out?" She called. "Anyone? Anyone!?"

[sunne 660]

@, 

 

((Sunny wasn't outside, she was inside.))

Sunny helped the mare up, instantly realizing she was blind by her words.

"Yes, but you're still too close to the Library," she said, and a moment later, they were farther away.. She noticed the group who had gotten out and turned back to the blind Pegasus.

"There's a group of ponies who have made it out just a little bit to your left. I'll lead you there, then I'm going back inside to help the rest." 

She took the mare's hoof slowly so as not to startle her, and led her to the group of ponies.

"Alright, now I'm going to teleport back into the Library. You'll be fine here."

And with that, she teleported back inside.

She was instantly soothed by the sound of a ponies voice.. But soon realizing it was Sunny Dews and nearly panicked before trying to calm down again.

"Sssssshh.... Okay.. Okay... T-thank you for helping me out, it's much appreciated by you. Just be careful now, we don't want to lose our future princess.."

Amour let out a horrified shriek and scrambled to her hooves. She dropped the book that she had been holding, and dashed towards the entrance, dodging obstacles and doing her best to not slam into anything. The smoke was making her eyes water, but she knew if she blinked or closed her eyes, she would be in trouble.

She made it out and stood back watching the library burn up quickly, it was a tree after all. But how had the fire started? It wasn't that hot, and even if it was--No, no things were already happening, she had to rejoin the group.

She spotted some ponies standing together and ran to join them. "Can't a pegasus make it rain?" She asked as there were quite a few pegasi in the group.

"Can't a pegasus make it rain?"

 

Lyona shook her head forlornly. " We can, but it's clear skies today. Not even one cloud in the sky which we can use to make it rain."

 

Perfect day to have no clouds, huh?

 

" Did you get out okay? Any injuries? A fire is not exactly the kindest of enemies..." Lyona coughed a little again.

[Rascal~ 657]

Fire was stuck, down right stuck. She had moved to the back of the library to look at some books in the section and when the to be princess came in she was standing at the back. Still near the back of the library. She heard the princess call out fire and tried to get everypony out. But she was at the back and a burning bookshelf had landed in front of her before she could get out. She could see the other ponies walk out and leave her. 

Leave her, like everyone else did. 

She tried to lift the burning books away so she could get out but it was too heavy, and she was panicking slightly so her magic was off. She looked back up to see the others be rescued by the ones that got out, but they couldn't see her for the flames were too high. She was going to burn, hell. Going to burn in hell. 

No.  

 No, she wasn't going to burn.

Fire Sharp wasn't going to just burn in a library, no she wasn't. The flames were high up and the heat was burning her face like sunburn would, but she was going to do it.

Fire closed her eyes, and jumped through the flames. The fire burned her, but she kept walking through the flames. She would open her eyes every once or twice and she could see the others rescue the ones that were left. She wasn't needed and she could feel that she was set alight. Though she didn't scream, only a tear was shed and that dried up too quickly. Fire Sharp finally got out of the flames. Her fur was mostly alight and her jacket was burning but she still didn't scream. She had been through too much already for just a little fire to make her scream, the torture she had been through wasn't enough to do that. 

Fire Sharp couldn't walk anymore, she didn't know if she would be getting help. But she didn't care, and fell to the ground. Still ablaze

Emerald found herself walking full circle without realising. As the library came into view again, she caught sight of something that honestly didn't surprise her too much: a pony left behind by the others in their haste to escape - half alive, her coat smouldering and blackened.

 

"Typical. And they call me paranoid." She seethed at the neglect that the group had shown.

 

'It's not my problem. Leave her there. Let the 'princess' save her...' she thought, turning her back.

 

She didn't walk away though.

 

'Nopony helped me...' She continued to reassure herself. 'Why should I put myself in danger for another, only for them to stab me in the back too?' She reasoned.

 

Rolling her eyes and looking around to ensure nothing was going to attack her from the shadows, the unicorn picked her way over to the burned pony. It wasn't right that she had been abandoned: Emerald couldn't just walk away and leave her: she knew what that was like. Patting out the still burning coat, she dragged the body clear of the burning building and into the edge of the forest.

@@LittleRawr,

 

Amour nodded and stared back at the library. "I hope everypony's okay. I just ran out without looking back." She murmured, bowing her head in shame. She should have checked to see if anypony needed help getting out, but she had been so scared...

"Where's the princess?" She asked, her eyes widening in horror. Had she not gotten out? Was she still in the library?!

[GreyScholar 1,584]

Golden Dawn watched as the other ponies made their way out, helping where he could but staying inside with Sunny has she helped the blind mare out before teleporting back in. Moving quickly over to her he says, "Surely there must be some way to stop this fire? Do you know a water spell?" The pegasus moves protectively nearer to Sunny, eying the flames and keeping his mouth covered a bit with his hoof.

 

((Hopefully this is a half decent reentry))

"Aren't there any fire extinguishers...?" Chamois said, loud enough for the group of ponies around her to hear.

Chamois glanced around and saw a little shop by the library.  Chamois trotted over and went inside.  She asked to borrow the fire extinguisher and then brought it out to the library.  Chamois raised it up in her magic and then began to spray at the fire.
