"Warn us? About what, sister?" asked Celestia, cocking her head.
"Tia, you know full well we are not sisters anymore. For one, I left out of nowhere and two, mother is gone. When she passed, so did my rights of calling you family and I was once again an orphan. As for the warning, I fear someone may be preparing to attack us."
"Do you have an idea of who?" asked Luna. Ordina nodded.
"Well, we all know Chrysalis, queen of the changelings, invaded Canterlot a few years, I have some news about that but will wait, but is currently working with Sombra and another entity I'm not sure of." Celestia shook her head as the others stared in shock.
"So she seeks revenge on us." said Celestia, sighing. "And here I thought of signing a peace treaty with them."
"Well, that is possible if we don't kill her and free her but that won't be easy." Celestia looked at her confused, not getting what she was saying.
"I thought she was working with them yet we have to save her? Sorry if I'm not following." Ordina only sighed and shook her head.
'One of the most powerful alicorns next to myself and she can't even understand what I'm implying. Oh have the years of peace taken their toll, Tia' Ordina looked up at Celestia.
"Think, Tia. You want to control someone but they won't follow you. What do you do to get your full control over them next to threats." Celestia's eyes widened as she finally got it.
"They didn't!"
"They did."
"This is bad." Celestia startes to pace back and forth. Luna eyed her.
"What is it, Tia?" asked Luna, trying to understand. Celestia looked over at her sister.
"103rd birthday." Luna gasped and joined her sister in pacing.
"Alright, this is really bad." Twilight stared at the two sisters and looked at Ordina for answers.
"On my 103rd birthday I got a bit greedy and created the mind control spell to get what I wanted." Twilight stared at her in horror. Ordina raised her hands. "Hey, in my defence it was purely done under the influence of a bottle of Jack Daniel's." she said, trying to defend herself.
"Two bottles, actually." added Celestia. Ordina glared at her.
"I'm not sure that's helping, Tia." Celestia giggled.
"I know it's not, I just wanted to mess with you after four thousand years of not getting to." Celestia smiled, causing Ordina to laugh. She had to admit, she missed the humor of two sisters. Discord gave a small cough, reminding them he was there.
"If we can get back to the problem at hand, mother." Ordina looked at the floor and scratched the back of her head. She completely forgot what they were talking about.
"Yes, sorry. Anyways, they plan on taking over both us and the crystal empire. The problem is that while it's easy to take on Sombra and whatever changelings he has with him, we don't know much about this entity except..." Ordina trailed off and bit her lip. Celestia walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Except what, Ordy?" she asked, looking her in the eyes. Ordina sighed.
"Except that he's a lord of chaos." Gasps filled the room and glares thrown torwards Discord. Ordina walked in front of him, blocking off whatever they might try to do to him before she finished. "I didn't say it was him!" The others looked at her with confusion.
"Well, there is only one lord of chaos, I don't see how there could be another!" said Luna, pointing at Discord.
"Think, Luna. If I can give birth to chaos with a spell, who says someone else can't? Then there's the energy fallout from where it was preformed. The fall out could still be active and strong enough to create another. All I know is that there is another and it's not Discord." Celestia sat down and started to rub the area around her horn, trying to rid herself of a headache.
"Alright, so Sombra and this other lord of chaos are using Chrysalis to invade and control the crystal empire and Equstria. How do exactly know all this?" Ordina just shook her head.
"Tia, I'm surprised. Have you forgotten I represent order and chaos? I can tell when something chaotic is about to take place. Thus, the heads up and knowing of this other lord of chaos."
"I still don't get how you know they are controlling Chrysalis, and in turn, her changelings. How exactly do you know this?" asked Luna. Ordina laughed.
"Oh that's easy, I spent three years recovering in their hive in the badlands. Awful place. Wouldn't hurt to invite them to Equestria once this is over." Everyone stared at her. "What? I had an interesting four millennia."
"Anyways, how do we stop it?" asked Twilight.
"Oh, that's easy. Warn the crystal empire, set up a field around Canterlot, and prepare for war." Everyone stared at her straight forward thinking. "Oh, and get the other elements." Celestia walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Who are you and what have you done with Ordy?" Ordina placed a hand on Celestia's shoulder.
"People change over four thousand years. I may not have the same crazy ideas as before but I am me." Celestia brought her into an embrace.
"And I'm thankful for that. I missed you greatly, Ordy, and I'm glad that you're here."
"I'm glad to see you again too, Tia."
"Hey, I missed you, too!" said Luna. Ordina walked over to her and hugged her.
"And I you."
"Don't forget me, mother!" yelled Discord, jumping onto her back and embracing. Due to the sudden weight, her legs gave out and the three of them sprawled out on the floor. Celestia giggled as she beheld the three of them.
"Discord, as much as your mother loves you, she would love you more if you didn't crush her and Luna." Discord gave a sheepish smile as he lifted hinself off her. "And I missed you too." she said with a smile. She turned back to the three alicorns.
"Alright, now to get to work. Twilight, as I said before, I need you to send a message warning your brother and gather the other elements here, quickly. Teleport them if need be." Twilight nodded and disappeared. Ordina turned to Luna.
"Luna, you can gather the guards while Celestia adresses the public." Luna nodded and walked out the door.
"What about you?" asked Celestia, raising an eyebrow at her.
"I need to raise the field. Now go, you need to get your face on tv." Ordina pushed her playfully. Celestia rolled her eyes as she walked out the door. Once the door was closed, she turned to Discord.
"And what of me?" he asked.
"Find this entity and find out as much as you can about him. Careful, I don't need to bury my son." Discord bowed.
"Of course mother. But burying me in the sand would be nice." With that he disappeared. She pondered his last statement but pushed it away, he was being Discord.
She walked out the door and saw two Royal Gaurds. Upon seeing her, the two bowed to her. She looked dumbstruck at the two guards.
"Princess Celestia told us to escort you to the throne room and guard you, Miss Xeriox." Ordina laughed, causing the two to look at her.
"Sorry, but it's been awhile since I was called miss and longer since someone used my actual name." She waved a hand torwards the hall. "Lead the way, good sirs." The guards bowed again and led the way down the hall.
'Ponies bowing to me and calling me miss, well I guess I'm officially back into the mix of royalty.' She gave a small laugh too quiet for the guards to hear. It was an amusing thought.
She loomed at the golden throne in the back of the room. A dark blue and dark purple thrones sat on either side. She turned torwards the two guards.
"All three rule in throne room?" she asked, finding it hard to believe they all ruled there.
"No, ma'am. This is the Solar Court. Luna rules in the Lunar Court and Twilight in the Dusk Court. I believe the princess mumbled something about adding another for you." Ordina laughed at this.
"The Court of Order. That hasn't been built since the castle in the evrfree. Why are all three thrones here?" she asked, walking torwards the golden throne of Celestia.
There was a large morning meeting earlier. Celestia and Twilight were arguing about in the library, I'm sure you heard." Ordina giggled, remembering the shouts she heard from the hallway.
She sat down on the golden throne. She layed back and closed her eyes.
"Want to know a story? This very throne was used as our personal play ground when mother was not in the throne room. When we were kids, she would sit in the throne with the three of us and sing and tell stories." A smile crossed her face. "It would be interesting to see one of our children on this throne. I know Celestia and Luna have not found a other half but they should think about it." She opened her eyes to see the guards shifting uneasily and Celestia and Luna staring at her in the doorway. "You should get children."
She ducked as she dodged a pillow that appeared out of nowhere. She laughed as she looked at the two blushing sisters.
"Just saying." She gave a laughed as Celestia and Luna got redder.
"Shouldn't you be raising a field right now?" said Celestia. Ordina facepalmed, she forgot to put up a field to protect them from on coming attacks.
She sat back in the golden chair and focused on putting together the spell. She had to word on account of changelings, Sombra, and this other entity. Once the long, complicated spell was finished, casted it. Out of the windows, the entire city was surrounded by a blue dome. The field would have proven difficult for any unicorn but was simple to the only alicorn that could turn the moon into cheese if wanted. Discord even failed to cause that much trouble and chaos. Perks to being the goddess of Order and Chaos.
Once finished she brought her head down and opened her eyes, her face serious.
"Now we wait."
