I'm still not sure of the circumstances surrounding Celestia and Luna's "disappearance", but my thought is this: they didn't, like, vanish into thin air, but rather, they went to investigate some "disturbance" they sensed from within the Everfree Forest. There, the mysterious foe captured or otherwise incapacitated them. Perhaps the Forest isn't growing wildly by itself, but the mysterious foe is controlling it, causing its vines to turn black and thorny. And the only way to remove control of the Forest from the mysterious foe and defeat them is to bring the Elements to the Tree of Harmony.
