Chapter 1

    Ordina sat up in bed and stretched her wings.  She heard several joints pop as they stretched.  'I need to use my wings more.' she thought, shaking them out a bit.

     'Staying under that illusion spell doing nothing can't be good for them.'  She stroked her right wing with her hand, admiring her beautiful, cyan wings.

     She yawned as she walked into the motel room's bathroom.  The bathroom was small and didn't have much to it.  Sink, mirror, toilet, shower, all cramped together in the small space.

     She sighed as she took off her night dress and walked into the shower.  She turned on the warm water and stood there, letting the water fall onto her deep red and white hair.  Her tail layed almost on top of the drain, threatening to clog it with her hair.

     She squirted shampoo into her hand and rubbed it into her mane and fur.  She rubbed in the shampoo before letting it wash into the drain.

     She grabbed the towel off the toilet and dried off her body, taking care when drying her wings and horn.  Once finished, she wrapped the towel around her body and walked into the main room.  She grabbed a simple pair of jeans and shirt.  She had to admit, common cloths are a lot better than the dresses they make royalty wear.

     She picked the paper up from under the door and read the front page, musing herself with the timing of events as she read.

     'Princess Twilight Sparkle celebrates one decade of rule with Celestia and Luna' read the paper.  Out of all the things that could be happening, this had to happen.

      'Happy decade of rule, Twilight.  It will be very memorable celebration.'  She smiled to herself before throwing the paper and other belongings into her backpack.

    She sighed as she put the illusion spell on her wings, making them invisible to everyone, and walked out of the door.  She returned the key to the manager and looked up the road.

      About three miles away stood the city of Canterlot.  Capital of Equestria and home to the three princesses.  Ordina smiled to herself before walking down the road to Canterlot.

Ordina stood in the cobblestone street in front of the castle.  It always amazed her how large the castle has gotten over the years.  She was used to walking around their old one in the evrfree before that was destroyed.  She only been here twice before.  Once for the royal wedding, a little bit more for the fact that the changelings were making an appearance, and once for Twilight's rise to the throne.

      She looked at the castle and shook her head.  It was heavily guarded, expected of course, and was pretty much a maze to anyone who hasn't walked through its halls everyday.

      'The question is how the hay am I going to get in let alone find Celestia and Luna?'  She sighed and walked up to the gates.  She didn't want to do it but had no choice.

     She was blocked by two guards.  Before either one could say anything, she placed her hands on their faces and whispered' Sleep' causing them to fall onto the ground.  She continued to walk through the gates and into the halls.

     She tried to think back to where she remembered places were and where Celestia could possibly be.   In here wanderings, she made it to the third floor and was close to a room where she heard multiple shouts.  Outside of the room she saw four gaurds.

        'Shouting, guards.  I'm here alright.'

      She was about to continue forward when someone tapped her shoulder.  She turned around, preparing an cover story, when she saw Princess Luna.  The princess looked disappointed as she beheld her.

     "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone" Before she could finish, Ordina grabbed Luna's shoulder and smiled, a tear in her eye.

     "Lulu, you have no idea how long I waited to see you again."  Luna looked at her confused.  Ordina smiled and dropped the illusion spell.  As she did, she spread out her wings in either direction.  Luna looked at her for a second.

    "Who is your mother?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.  Ordina knew she should be offended but couldn't blame her for the precautions.  She smiled and grabbed Luna's shoulder.

     "My foster mother is Faust."  Luna broke out into a huge grin and bear hugged her.  Ordina struggled to breathe in the alicorn's strong grip.

     "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!  ORDY!  I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!  TIA AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEWD BUT YOURE NOT AND HER YOU ARE!"  Luna was swinging her around and she could tell the two inside the room next to them stopped yelling.

      "Luna, I thought I told you not to use"  Luna let go of Ordina, causing her to fall to the ground gasping for air.  She turned to see Celestia staring at her.  "O-ordy?"

      "The one and"  Before she could finish, Celestia tackled her into a bear hug, closing off her supply of air.  Again.

     "Tia, I meant it when I said one and only so please don't crush me."  Celestia gave a sheepish grin and let go of her.

       "I'm sorry, Ordy but it's been four millennia, I thought you dead!"  Ordina hugged her, pulling her close.

     "You can't kill me that easily, Tia."  Celestia returned the hug.

      "Can someone kindly explain who this is and why you say you haven't seen each other in four thousand years?"  Ordina looked past Celestia's shoulder and saw a lavender alicorn.  Her hair of multiple shades of purple waving in its own wind, much like Celetia and Luna's.  Ordina released herself from Celestia.

      "Well, they haven't seen me for four thousand years and my name is Princess Ordina Xeriox.  Former princess of Order and Chaos."  She offered her hand to Twilight.  "And you're Princess Twilight Sparkle.  Celestia's best student and bearer of the element of magic."  Twilight stared at heroin awe.  Ordina giggled and placed a hand on her shoulder.  "I did keep up the past four millennia."

      "Now I heard a certain alicorn was back."  She turned around and saw Discord walking down the hallway, hands behind his back.

       "And I heard a certain someone got frozen in stone, twice." she said, scolding him.

       "You should really take better care of your children, mother.  It would be a shame if something bad happened."  Ordina just shook her head.

      "Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Discord call you mother?" asked Luna, she was looking back and forth between the two.

     "Did you think he popped out of nowhere?  I needed someone to contradict my order with chaos.  So I created Discord.  Just like another child, I had to give birth to him.  I raised him till he was ready and sent him on his way."  Luna shook her head.

      "Well, didn't see THAT coming.  I think it's good to have someone more than Fluttershy keep an eye on him." said Twilight.

       "If I may ask, why did you come back?" asked Celestia, raising an eyebrow.   Ordina signed.

     "To warn you."
