Nyla said, "W-Well, we can't just stand here and do nothing! We have to find the ashes!"

The five girls agreed and ran into the dark, sinister woods. As they ran deeper and deeper into the woods, it became brighter as they ran straight forward towards the Castle Of The Two Sisters. They stopped.

"Goodness Celestia, t-they're.. DRAGONS!!" screamed Lively, Zenith quickly covered her mouth with her hoof, hoping that nopony heard her.

The six of them resumed walking behind the trees, looking at the humongous dragon with ashes by its tummy. It wasn't just ashes, they were eggs. Dragon eggs are known to be radiating red. Scorching hot flames that engulfed the shells protect them from any harm. Written terribly fear of fire and dragons since she was a little filly, her parents died in a fire. She still could not overcome over it.

The dragon was sound asleep at the entrance of the castle, blocking the girls from entering. There was only one way to get inside and it was the windows. The windows were very high and only Dawn and Angelic had wings. The others were only Earth Ponies and Pegasi. Zenith had informed them that luckily, she had learnt a floating spell when she was young. Zenith was unsure at first upon successfully casting the spell but with the encouragement of her friends, it worked! Zenith and the three others floated straight up to the windows as Angel and Dawn followed. It wasn't easy floating with a new temporary sense of equilibrium.

All of them landed safe and a little bit of smooth inside the castle. For what it seems, they were currently inside a library. Zenith was glad there wasn't any some sort of dangerous trial or harm to go through, yet. She thought of a plan to find a book about dragons. She asked everypony to find every book they can find consisting about dragons. The ponies, in groups of two, galloped off to find the books. Angelic was the clumsy one within her friends. She was not aware of her surroundings within the library as her eyes were shut and she was humming while flying around. Suddenly, she bumped into a big statue. It fell and made a loud 'bang,' her friends gasped. The dragon woke up as soon as it heard the sound, it quickly got up and looked through the windows, it spotted the six mares.
