The rain of the spell of corruption was corrupting, all who were out in and drinking it rain. The Mane 6 knew without the physical Elements of Harmony, the mental elements could never, if not could not, defeat the elements of disharmony. With Tirek and Chrysalis free, many of there allies turned bad by, Queen Majesty IV, Celestia captured, and Twilight and Cadence lost their alicornhood, it seemed hoped was lost.

Suddenly, hours after the Mane 6 lost their last battle, their cutiemarks started glowing, then lead tunnels that took them to the Tree House of Harmony. There they ran into many more uncorrupted creatures, Cadence, Shining Armor, Spike, Sandbar, Smolder, Yona, Gallus, Terramar, Skystar, Autumn, Somnambula, Zecora, Snails, Derpy “Muffins” Hooves, Dr. Whooves Hooves, Discord, Applebloom, Big Mac, Sugar Belle, Gabby, Babs Seed, Starlight Glimmer, Sliverstream, Stygian, and 11 Changelings. Despite, only the Feelings Forum Director being the only one still metamorphosed, Thorax and the other ten were all summoned and uncorrupted. Somehow every creature there managed to avoid the rain. They found a map of the world had appeared in the treehouse, and showed lands most of them didn’t even know existed. They began to wonder how this was possible, so Stygian requested a few of them to come outside in private, and he would explain.

When they got out, Stygian said, “I have a confession I’ve held for so long.” He then removed his robe, revealing wings to the shock of the others. “I am an alicorn prince.” He confessed to the chosen five. Apparently, he hated the roles of being an alicorn, and taught Celestia a few memory spells to erase and tamper with the memories and flashbacks, of him. “The effectiveness of the spells would normally depend on the power level of the users and the victims.” He claimed. He wanted everyone to forget he was an alicorn, even going as far as lying about not being an one. However, Celestia misused the spells, she tampered with memories and flashback spells, in order to take most of the credit for everything the other three alicorn students had done. “Alicorn students?!” Rainbow Dash asked. “Yes.” Stygian replied. “The first ponies to become alicorns. There was me, Celestia, Tree Fairy, Dusk Glimmer, Luna Moon, and Carefree. We were lead by our high alicorn monarch, Sage Guru, and his cousin, and our advisor, Starswirl.” Rarity then asked, “What about Queen Parabola?” Stygian sighed. “King Sage’s half sister, Parabola, was killed by Majesty IV, with one of her killing the unkillable spells. I don’t know why she would erase Sage from history, or Majesty, but she would with the other three. They do not get along with her. Celestia and Tree Fairy especially hate each other.“ Cadence looked puzzled. They agreed to never discuss him being an alicorn. However, five witnesses and eavesdroppers saw Stygian’s wings, and let’s just say it was no longer a secret. Thankfully, Stygian realized he had except it.

Unfortunately, they noticed that the map wasn’t showing everywhere, and each coordinate was at an edge, with a riddle to go with each group of cutiemarks. Luckily, Stygian remembered the seventh element broke into five, and there could be a chance to create five more elements, in theory. Calling them the lost Elements of Harmony, he ended up giving the resistance more hope. So they tried to solve each riddle, and split up into each group, to escape Equestria, find the lost elements, and take back the land, from Queen Majesty IV and the other representatives of the elements of disharmony.
