The throne room was quiet, save for the soft patter of rain against the stained-glass windows. Princess Celestia stood by the tall arched window, her horn glowing faintly as she traced the edge of a parchment map.

Princess Celestia

without turning Twilight, thank you for coming so quickly.

Twilight Sparkle

raising a hoof gently The Elements alone will not be enough this time, Twilight. She has adapted. Learned. And she has one advantage we do not.

Celestia stepped away from the window and lowered her voice, as though the walls themselves might be listening.

Princess Celestia

There is a pony, hidden deep within the Whispering Wilds. The Princess of Nature. She has not been seen in centuries. But if any pony can turn the tide against Chrysalis... it is her.

Twilight Sparkle

A Princess of Nature? I've never heard—

Princess Celestia

Few have. Her name is known only to the eldest of us. But you will need help finding her. The Wilds are unforgiving, and she does not wish to be found.

Celestia's gaze drifted past Twilight, settling on you where you stood near the great oak doors, having been summoned along with the princess's student.

Princess Celestia

That is why I asked you here as well, my young friend. You are the only pony I know who has walked the Whispering Wilds and returned with all four hooves intact. You will guide Twilight to the heart of the forest. And together... you will bring her back.
