Seline and Sol: The Third Alicorn

Draco prepared himself to enter into the world of dreams. He had been there only once and he had barely made it through, but it was his job to protect innocents like the two mares. He ignited his horn with his sliver magic, until he noticed stopped struggling and they looked peaceful.

"Phew" Draco said, as he wiped the sweat off his forehead, using his wing. Mission accomplished, both Fluttershy and Twilight were out the danger zone. He had several questions to ask of his Queen, but he had a mission to complete.

He quickly wrote on a piece of paper and then sealed it, Draco decided to seal it with his hoof print. "Rainbow Dash" he called, hopefully she would have returned by now and could deliver his letter. A rainbow blur crashed into the floor, Rainbow quickly stood up and saluted.

"Yes sir."

"I need you to contact the Queen immediately. Deliver this and inform the Queen I am blowing my cover." Draco handed the Pegasus a letter, which she slipped into her saddle bag.

"Yes, sir. Permission to speak sir." Rainbow said still saluting.

"Go ahead Private."

"Is Fluttershy okay?" Rainbow asked with a concern look.

"She's fine, Fluttershy just had to face some old demons. Now go and deliver my message."

Rainbow Dash nodded and asked, " Please take of Fluttershy until I return."

"You have my word." The Pegasus looked relieved at those words, it was well known fact that he was a creature of his word. She then spread her wings and took off.

Draco stared out the window and watched the rainbow blur fade away. Sweet Luna! it was much later then he expected it to be. He had to return Twilight to the hotel. Draco couldn't leave Fluttershy, some of the Sol citizens may attack her. He had to make sure she was safe before he could take Twilight back to the hotel.

He picked up both mares, careful not to wake them. He walked outside, and he ran to the edge of town. Fluttershy lived there in a small cottage whenever she was in town. It was family's home before the incident and she offered it to anypony who needed it.

He dropped her off and gave her to one of the bears who lived there. Fluttershy had opened her home to not only ponies but animals as well.

"Take care of her." He said as one of the numerous birds nodded and they carried her upstairs. He was sure they would protect her, after all every animal had been saved by Fluttershy.

Draco removed his cloak so he could fly, properly without constriction. Spreading his sliver wings with black feathers, he took flight.

Flying was a liberating experience, he was free and was not chained to anything when he was flying. This was his favorite type of flying, He did not have to worry about anything except to look where he was going and about the small Unicorn on his back.

He saw the hotel, and he already knew which room was hers. He was grateful, that Dash had informed of everything.

He unlocked the windows using his magic and flew in, he placed her in the messy bed and tucked her in. She would sleep well tonight.

"You are not welcome here." A feminine voice, growled behind him. Draco knew who it was, it was his Sol counterpart, Cadenza. He was now also grateful that he had sent Dash off. If Luna ever got wind that he had been spotted by Cadenza it would not be pretty. Luna always wanted to protect him and they both knew that Cadenza was fishy.

"Cadenza, what a pleasure."

"Nightshade, leave." Cadenza said, as she took a threatening step forward. Except pretty pink ponies didn't scare him.

"I feel honored Cadenza, you have heard of me." She growled, and took another step forward.

"Leave, we are trying to build peace. I do not want to ruin it." Interesting, so this is how she wanted to play he thought.

"As you wish, Cadenza. I will leave you with your precious Twilight." Nightshade did not want a fight. He flew out the window, without looking back.

He would see them tomorrow, and that is when the fun would begin.

Twilight was currently in the dining room, with Cadance giving her a leacture. Twilight rubbed the sleep from her eyes, why did Cadance have to wake her up?

"You leave us, no note! No nothing! We are in a enemy ter-"

"Cady calm down, Twily is one of the most powerful mages on the planet." Shiny said, putting a hoof on her shoulder. Cadance just looked angry at Shiny now instead of Twilight and whacked his hoof off.

"I cannot believe I am saying this but I agree with Cadance." Sunny said and she then turned to Twilight. "You are our younger sister and no matter, how old or powerful you are we will worry. So please tell us what you are doing, especially when we are in unknown and possibly dangerous territory." Sunny said surprisingly calm. Usually Sunny was the hotheaded pony and Cadance was calm one.

Shiny mouth dropped open and Cadance wings were ruffled. "Can we please focus, I need to talk to you. It's important."

"Of course." "Sure, Twily." "Go ahead."

Twilight took a deep breath, "When are we leaving?"

"The ponies arrived, before you did. They introduced themselves and went immediately to bed. We'll be leaving tomorrow morning." Cadance said.

"We can't leave, th-"

"Twilight get some sleep and then maybe you will make sense in the morning."

"I agree with Cady, go to bed Twilight." Shiny said.

She was ready to explode, 5...4...3
"I've got a better idea, Twilight how about we read together in your room until your ready to go to sleep."

Everypony, including Twilight, mouths dropped open. Sunset was being the peace keeper twice in one day, that was unheard of. Twilight nodded her head, she didn't want to fight with her family. Besides what was more fun then reading and studying.

Sunset woke up and removed herself from the book, she was currently sleeping in. Her eye sight was still blurry, mornings are the worst. She streched out, and noticed Twilight. She was also sleeping in a book, like she was.

Sunset tried to keep quiet, she knew how much trouble Twilight had sleeping recently. She went to the bathroom and got ready for the day, while Twilight kept snoozing.

Sunset walked back into the room and noticed TWILIGHT WAS GONE! Sunset then screamed bucking murder, HER SISTER WAS MISSING!

Twilight woke up, in the library. She didn't remember going to sleep here, she didn't remember going to sleep at all. What was happening? She must have been captured like Cadance said she would, or did Cadance even say that. Was that real and what was fake?

She felt another pony hug her, while she was in her panicked state. "Its okay Twilight you're okay. I'm sorry I scared you."

Twilight cleared the sleep from her eyes and looked at the pony. His voice sound familiar she tried to see if she recognized him, the first thing she noticed was he had both horn and a wings....."You're a Wings!"

The sliver pony chuckled, "I'm hurt, you don't know who I am."

Twilight tilted her head, who was this strange pony? She had already established he was a Wings. But Twilight knew she knew him, the colt was quite tall, his long mane was a mixture sliver and white. His wings were sliver with black feathers and the tips were white, and his coat was completely sliver. Twilight had never seen a pony like him. But it was obvious he was an important pony of Seline, she couldn't afford to offend him. He might destory the treaty, if she offended him.

"Of course I do, its great to see you again. Mister......." Twilight racked her head to think of a likely name. She decided to leave it at mister, ponies called their friends mister, right? "Are you here to escort us to Seline?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I am. But I first I wanted to talk to you, you don't have to worry about the Middle Towns. We can work together when we get to Seline."

How did he know she wanted to help. Wait, was he, No he couldn't be.

"Draco?"

"The one and only."

Twilight was conflicted and her hair started to catch fire. Draco slowly started backing away, Twilight was just about to start yelling when she heard hooves trotting. She felt a pony collided into her and hooves wrap around her, squeezing tight.

"Twilight, thank goodness." Said a pink earth pony. Pinkie Pie?

"Pinkie Pie?"

The earth ponys eyes started watering, "you remembered me."

"Pinkie, too tight." Twilight said, trying to break the earth ponies strong grip.

"Sugarcube, you better let er go. She's turning blue." The orange earth pony said.

Pinkie let her go, and she began gasping for air and hugged Applejack. "Thank you" Twilight said weakly.

"Twilight!" Another pony wrapped there hooves around her, "I was sorry worried." Twilight removed the hooves with her, it was Sunny. Draco then cleared his throat drawing the attention back to him.

A pink blur then jumped on him, "I told you to stay away from Twilight!" Cadance yelled at Draco.

"How lovely to see you again Cadenza." Draco said, with a smirk.

"Cadance, get off of Draco." Twilight said.

"Twilight be quiet, this pony has been feeding you nothing but lies. His name is not Draco, it is Nightshade, most trusted of the Queen of Seline." Cadance said, still standing on Draco.

"I know who he is, he told me his name was Draco Nightshade and I figured out he was a Wings." Twilight said, "Now get off of him."

Cadance relectantly stepped off of the sliver pony. Nightshade stood up and shaked the dust off. "Thank you, Cadenza." Nightshade said to a scowling Cadance.

"Now as I was going to say, I was sent here by Queen Luna. I am here to escort you to the heart of Seline, if you will let me."

"No." Cadance said, Twilight turned towards her.

"Cadance we're doing this. With or without you." Cadance looked as if she would protest but then Sunset swept in to the conversation.

"We are here for the treaty, we are not going back empty hooved." Sunset said, siding with Twilight and Draco.

"Excellent."

"Hold on a second sugar, if your here to guide them. Why are we here?" Applejack said, pointing to herself, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, who had mysteriously appeared.

"Don't worry we still may need your help. I'm sure the Queen will find something for you to do." Draco Nightshade said mysteriously.

"Now let us all go, to the City of Nightcrawlers." Draco said, as he turned and began to walk.

"Draco, we need get our stuff." Said Sunset.

"Oh, right. First thing we head into the heart of the Nightcrawlers." Draco said, everypony then walked of to their respective residences. Except for Cadance who watched the shadows, Twilight wondered why she had stayed behind. Prehaps she was lost in thought. "Cadance are you coming?" Twilight asked.

"Yes of course." Cadance then walked past Twilight, she was different. Something was wrong, but what was it? Were her eyes green? No, that was just my imagination Twilight thought as she walked back to the hotel.

"Are you alright, Twilight?" Cadance asked, her blue eyes shining with concern.

"Yes, yes. I'm fine." It was definitely her imagination. Cadance didn't have green eyes, she had blue eyes.
