The 7th Element of Harmony

Chapter 3: Meeting Them (still Trilla's P.O.V.)

I start looking around the castle for anypony that might be here.

"This is insane!" A high-pitched voice yells. "I thought there were only six elements!" A elegant but quite frightened voice says. I follow the voices to a room filled with six ponies and a table; which seems to have a map embedded in it.

"Um, excuse me?" I ask. The six ponies turn their attention towards me. "Oh, hi there. Who are you?" The lavender alicorn asks me.

I blush from embarrassment. "I-I'm Trilla Forced.." I stutter out. The alicorn gets out of her seat and walks over to me. "So you're the pony we're supposedly training." I look up at her and give a slight nod.

Blaze gets off my back and starts to leave. "Blaze? Where are you going?" I ask the small dragon. "I'm going to get your stuff!" She huffs. I put on a straight face and let out a simple "Oh."

I stretch my wings a little. The cyan pony notices this and flies over to me. She tackles me. "You're a pegasus?!" She asks with excitement growing in her pink-ish purple eyes. "Uh, yeah?" I manage to say. "We should totally go flying!" She says.

"Rainbow Dash! This is not the time for flying!" The lavender alicorn sneers. "We have to train this pony to be like one of us!"

'Rainbow Dash..' I think to myself. 'So that's her name.' I manage to get out from underneath the cyan pegasus. I take a deep breath.

"So, darling, tell us. What is it like to be the daughter of royalty?" The white unicorn asks me. "W-Well, it's hard sometimes. Though, it's kind of nice." I say, sort of stumbling over my own thoughts. "Oh! I almost forgot!" I turn my head to the alicorn. "We forgot to introduce ourselves!" She giggles nervously.

She bows, "My name is Twilight Sparkle."

The white unicorn bows her head, "I'm Rarity."

The very energetic earth pony next to her waves frantically, "I'm Pinkie Pie!"

Another earth pony tilts her hat and shoots me a smile, "Howdy there, Ah'm Applejack."

A very shy yellow pegasus waves nervously at me, "I-I'm Fluttershy."

Then the cyan, rainbow maned pegasus gives me a wink, "As you know, I'm Rainbow Dash."

"Hm?" Twilight squints. "What is your cutie mark, Trilla?" My cutie mark was covered up by my wings and saddle bag this whole time. I remove the bag and lift my wings. They all gasp. My eyes widen, "What?! Is something wrong?!" I ask worriedly. "Y-Your cutie mark is the same as.. A necklace I found by the Tree of Harmony." Fluttershy says taken aback.

"Let me see that necklace." I say.

Twilight pulls out the necklace. "Oh thank my mother!" I say. "It's ok!" I rub my face against the cool metal of the garment. The six ponies look at one another.

"You mean you knew about the necklace?" Rarity asks suspiciously. "Yeah! I've had this ever since I was just a foal!" Twilight comes up to me. "How old are you? Just wondering. You don't have to answer." I look at her. "I was born 25 years before Nightmare Moon escaped. So about.. 30? Seems about right." The six look at each other again.

"Equestria.. We have a problem." Twilight mutters to herself.
