Fluttershy stays to the back with the human Emily. Ever since they started their journey, Fluttershy has been giving the three boys directions to the princess' last castle that is the now present Everfree forest. The boys have been idly chatting sense they left the tower of Eden, as she remembered it being called, but she seem to not be able to recall what the purpose of the boys being bit down when talking. Especially Markus. He keeps looking into the sky as if expecting something. A sign? Or pehaps Princess Celestia or her sister to strike from the skies.

"So Fluttershy?" Caleb starts.

Fluttershy jumps with an eep escaping from her mouth. She had gotten so lost in thought that she was just absent mindly following them.

"Ye-ye-yes?"

"What's that?" Caleb asks pointing forward.

She hadn't even realized that the three boys had stopped walking and, as it is, are now standing in front of what could be their destination. If it was a movable creature that is. She backs up a bit blushing at her own faultiness and looks forward to see a brown creature with a red fleshy appendage dangling down off its wide beak that shakes with every step it takes.

"Oh! That's Mister Turkey. I didn't know he came this far out into the Everfree... Though that would explain why I don't see him much."

"Turkey huh... Is it edible?" Caleb asks setting a hand on fire.

Markus punches Caleb in the arm as Fluttershy looks at him with pure horror on her face.

"What? I'm starting to get hungry... plus when's the last time we actually had meat?"

Fluttershy knew about carnivores and such, but never really thought about these three or even the human that her and her frie... the girls had to lead. She had been watching them eat fruit and vegetables asking her if the food was safe. She complied with them and they truly seemed like a nice bunch. But now seeing as they are carnivores, it just really comes as a shock.

"Well, ummm, yea... but, ummm, do you really have to eat him?" Fluttershy asks trying to hide behind her hair.

Markus and Indie scratch the back of their heads while Caleb answers.

"Yea! I mean, we've gone for way to long with out meat! If it bothers you just look away." Caleb says starting to walk towards the turkey smiling heinously.

"Wait! but but but weeeee usually only eat Turkey on Givings day!" Fluttershy says quickly coming up with something to save the turkey.

"And? What does that have to do with us?" Caleb says extinguishing the flame knowing better than leaving it up for so long.

"Welll... well... don't you ummm have a day like ummm that?" She says meekly realizing her out burst.

"Do we?" Caleb asks looking at Indie and Markus.

Markus nods his head, "Yea, I heard one of the elders talking about it one day. They said its a day where we all give thanks to all the things we care about and are thankful. We're suppose to feast and be with family and friends on that day really."

Caleb sighs and says, "Fine! I won't eat the stupid Murkey!"

"Turkey..." Fluttershy says in a whisper.

Indie hands Caleb some berries from his bag to eat. With a sigh they continue on ignoring the Turkey as they pass. Caleb eyeing the morsel with hunger but a quick punch in the shoulder from Markus fixes that.

The ice quickly melts and drops Twilight on the ground. She can barely breath from how cold she feels. She was fading in and out of consciousness and wanted help desperately. Now with this freedom, she wishes she was still in the darkness. At least it was somewhat warm.

"Well well well. Look what we have here. The most powerful element of harmony on her knees begging for life. Where is your so called princess? Shouldn't she be here saving you right now?" Discord says in a mocking tone, "Maybe she truly is too busy trying to be a real goddess to realize her own faults of her actions or even look over her little ponies. Especially one with such talent as you."

Twilight, some what conscious, starts grinding her teeth together. She curses the Draconequus for being so cold at a moment like this. Discord was meant to help them and she wanted him to do so right now.

"What's wrong Twilight? Can't your Elements of Harmony save you? Or is there something breaking that friendship bond?" Discord says making the shadow of three boys in Twilight's blurry eye sight.

"Shut up and save me!" Twilight manage to yell with all her might that she could muster.

She hated pleading with such a chaotic creature, but at this point she has no other choice. It was either that or dying. And she doesn't want to die. She did not want to disappoint her teacher by dying without completing her mission.

"Oh, don't worry my dear Twilight. I promise you. I will. You and you're friend. Oh, what was it... Rainbow Burned?"

Twilight knows he knows her name, but can't figure out why he would say something like that. She's also worried about Fluttershy. Did she run off? If she did, than she really did do the right thing... but hopefully she left the human female there to be taken by the boys so Celestia can find them. Everything was darkening fast, but she can make out Discord crossing his armies saying something along how pitiful she was.

Luna stood beside Celestia looking at the elders of the race known as Humans. They cowere and shake within both their presences. She doesn't like their stares. They burrow into her brain making her feel as if they are expecting her to blow them up completely. The stares reminded her of when she came back after her banishment. Oh how the ponies looked at her with pure horror expecting her to blow up everything around them.

"Here they are. These few still resist my control greatly, but I predict with our powers combined we can easily bend them to our will. They will answer to the both of us and we can finally release them back out in the world as our allies. They will work for us and never advance as they had before." Celestia says levitating things around a nearby bench where blood and green goop rest.

Luna had to admit, the humans were turning into a hostile group. But from what she could see, it was the ponies; gryphons; and even the arachnids south of the Everfree Forest threatening their way of survival and life. Luna completely understood what it felt to be threatened and afraid. One of the reasons why she turned into... that monster. Even the name of her past still sends shivers down her spine. She was afraid she would turn back to what she once was before she was saved.

"I don't want you doing it right away, so we'll be practicing for a while on the spell. So we can get it in perfect sync. Okay, my dear sister?"

Luna nods still staring at the elderly. She's looking at them kindly, but the their eyes and body movements emit fear and hatred, two things Luna did not want to have towards her. Again. That's why she's so familiar with the presence around her.

She looks away and goes to her sister to study the spell. She just has to keep reminding herself that all this was just to see what Celestia was truly up to. To see how to help them. They didn't deserve to be enslaved. Slaves haven't been used in so long and even then, there was so much inner war and outer war.

Luna could only wonder what made Celestia want to bring all that back. She truly fears for her sister and wants to do anything to help her... even if it means fighting her again in the end.

"You know Lulu. Its great to be together like this. If only mom and dad were still here, we could truly be treating this like a givings day."

Luna had completely lost track with the days. It was, in fact, the day for family. But even though she should feel happy, Luna can only question her family today. She didn't want to, but the constant nagging makes her.

"Yes, it truly is Tia. I've missed spending time with you very much." Luna says placing a hoof around her sister in a hug.

Celestia does the same back enjoying her sister's company. Though Luna feels uncomfortable with the interaction, she does her best not to show it.
