A/n; THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME!! The only characters that are mine are "Nova light" (alicorn above and that's my OC daughter Nyxelle) and "North Wind" the rest all belongs to the company of Hasbro, all rights reserved (Also really mature).

IF YOU ARE READING ANY OF MY BOOKS @violetxrose1235 on TRUYEN IT IS NOT THEIRS!

THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN POSTED ON TRUYEN BELONGS TO ME, YOU CAN FIND MY WORK ON WATTPAD AND IT HAS BEEN "mirrored" ON TRUYEN.

TRUYEN IS ALSO A DANGEROUS WEBSITE WITH MALWARE SO PLEASE STAY ON WATTPAD WHICH IS SAFE

Where to begin? Ah yes...Equestria, the land of Ponies; Earth, Pegasi and Unicorn.
However, there is another, a rare breed among the many, Alicorns. The form of all three kinds of pony, for centuries I, Starswirl The Bearded, had researched the existence of Alicorns.
I had learned there were two types of Alicorns; Born and Willed.

Born Alicorns had the purest forms of magic, with untapped power that could destroy...or create. Willed Alicorns, however, was a lesser form, stronger than the average Unicorn but nowhere near as powerful as Born Alicorns. Ah, Celestia has just arrived in time for her training and here comes Luna stumbling behind haha, well then I shall continue this when I return. With that...Rieta tösiia.

The journal closed and vanished with a bright spark, the elder Unicorn sorcerer gave a firm chuckle as the pink-maned white filly bundled over to his hooves, he led them out into the meadow with a small grin.
This was the calm before the storm...the peace before havoc.

Present-day.

Twilight skimmed through a journal of the late Starswirl the Bearded, the only one she had which was mostly full of incantations and spells was the one she finished, the one that gained her wings.
She was glancing through it thoroughly making a note to detail anything of use if anyone knew more about the Tree of Harmony surely it would be Starswirl...right?

She let out a half frustrated sigh before looking at the cover of the book, the ridges and details were so intricate they looked fragile.
"Twilight!"
She gasped at the sudden shout from her dragon friend accidentally dropping the antique book, she looked back at Spike as he held a scroll.

"What is it, Spike?"
"A message from Cadence!"
Her eyes lit up and she quickly opened the scroll with her magic, reading it aloud.

"'Dear Twilight,
I hope all is content in Ponyville and Canterlot, I heard from Celestia that you found the Tree of Harmony and are searching for the six keys? I wish not to disturb you or slow your progress but would you have time to come to the Crystal Empire? We have much to discuss and please bring along your friends, Also Shining Armor has got a certain surprise for you! A scavenger hunt of sorts. I hope to hear back from you and I hope all is well,
Your loving Sister-in-law and Brother.'"

The purple Alicorn squealed in excitement and started gathering items immediately while tasking Spike with sending a letter to her friends to invite them along, she scanned through piles of books mumbling to herself.
"Shall I take Magical Configurations Volume 20 or Teleportation, magnifications and tunes Volume 12? Oh, who am I kidding I'll take both!"

She stopped in her tracks and picked up the ancient book she left on the floor by accident and as she did she discovered an odd out of place paper, a knock on her door averted her attention and without another word she plopped it in her saddlebag.
She opened the door and saw all five of her friends,

Rarity was the first to speak, "We got your letter darling and simply couldn't wait another minute!"
"Ya sugar cube, Rainbow is already at the station grabbin' our tickets an' waitin' for us."
