Eventually, the 6 mares saw the herd of Sky Bison grazing. They were very impressive, flying up the mountains and eating the fruits off the trees up above. So that's why they fly... Twilight thought. It's pretty useful.

Suddenly, Pinkie yelled. "OH LOOK! AN OMINOUS FORTRESS AIMING SOMETHING AT OUR HEAD! COOL!" Rainbow Dash dragged Pinkie next to her, as Twilight Sparkle summoned a shield. A huge boulder thumped against the shield, and Twilight winced.

"How did they do that? There wasn't any magic or weapons visible!" Applejack remarked. "That's strange. They must have some invisible creatures or something."

After a minute of not seeing any more big projectiles aiming at their way, Twilight dissipated the shield. Rainbow Dash swooped up and took control. "We have to go investigate that fortress. I'm sure we can handle it. We have these things right here." She flapped her wings once. "Applejack can just carry Rarity or something while Pinkie can manage on her own."

"But-" Twilight sighed. No use, the girls were already heading off, and she reluctantly followed Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy into the sky.

Soon the pegasi and one alicorn arrived at the top of the fortress. Surprisingly, nopony was there. "If nopony is here, then how did the projectile boulder thingy come from here?" Fluttershy was very confused.

Flashes of black appeared, and suddenly these weird looking masked creatures on two legs appeared on the roof. Wait... they look familiar... Twilight thought. These are humans! Suddenly the humans stopped. Twilight murmured to Rainbow and Fluttershy. "These are humans. I don't know why they look so different from the ones I know. I suggest you not to attack. They don't seem to be." The two nodded.

The human on the left lifted a hand and lifted their mask, to reveal a normal looking man with brown hair. "Oh. Just spirits. Let's go. No wonder they got up here so fast... They're probably new to this world." In a flash, they disappeared, jumping off the roof. Twilight was standing stock-still. Spirits? How did those humans get up here and jump down so fast? We don't look like spirits. How did they not recognize us? If this is the human world?

"That was much of an impression." Rarity commented as the three wingless ponies arrived at the top. Applejack was panting. Suprising. Pinkie was not, even though she was carrying Rarity.

"What do they mean by Spirits?" Twilight thought. "Let's leave. There sure is to be a city or a town nearby, because they have this fortress to guard it. Let's keep walking in the same direction."

After getting down the fortress, they walked what they thought was a couple miles. Suddenly, Twilight felt a magical tingle from her horn all the way to her cutie mark. "Strange... I sense a magical presence nearby. I suggest we go check it out. It seems not to be using dark magic, or light magic, or even pony magic! It's such a strange magic... But it seems good." The others, curious, also follows.

"All I want is some water..." Rarity whined.

As they got closer to the presence, the more tingly Twilight's horn felt. Soon, a great blur loomed in front of them. They walked closer again. It was a giant tree! and behind the tree, there was a huge beam of light, reaching up to the sky. Both presences were emitting ridiculous amounts of powerful magic. The huge roots of the tree intertwined with huge buildings that looked like the ones in Neighjing. The 6 could hear the buzzing of the city from this far away. It felt like any other city, but this buzz was more mechanical, while Manehattan and Canterlot felt more like home. Ah, home. How I miss it.
