... is the beginning of another journey.

"Twilight.  Give it up. They are gone," Spike said drawing my attention away from my book.

"How can I give up on my friends," I retorted.

"Twilight.  There are somethings magic can't and isn't supposed to fix," Spike said with a sigh as he left the room.

I shook my head at that and turned my attention back to my book.  It said,

There have been very few beings to master all forms of magic.  Theses beings, be they ponies or other species, are known as the High Magi.   High Magi are quite unique in the fact that they can do things with magic that no other master of magic can.  It has been recorded that there has been five High Magi to ever exist.   However their names, origins, or even their appearance are vague at best.  It is rumored that one High Mage still lives to this day.  The last known High Mage disappeared 300 years before Discord rose to power.

"Can do things with magic that no other master of magic can," I muttered to my self before closing the book and retrieving a parchment and quill.

I quickly wrote a note to Spike and left it on my desk before turning to my window.  To my surprise there was Princess Luna standing on the balcony.  I said to her, "You will not stop me."

"i did not come here to stop you.  I came to give you a warning.  If you are going to do what I believe you are going to do then be prepared for a long and perilous journey," She said before turn towards the night sky, "And good luck.  I will delay my sister as long as possible."

"Thank you Luna," I replied as she took off into the night.

I then turned and blew out my candle on the desk and followed her into the night sky.  I flew east for a little bit before turning south. Towards the Badlands.
