Authors Note:

You know I find it odd that in all this time no one has once picked up on the full story, the entire thing is laid out all you need do is look. It is a special feeling and one that I take great pride in. Each chapter has a deeper meaning that once looked at correctly come together to reveal a picture that, while shocking, is actually quit amazing. Perhaps when the story is truly complete and all the pieces fall into place it will all make sense but I want to let it be known that everything in the story is done on purpose. While I wont tell you out right I feel that if you went back and looked at it all you would see the truth. Ironically, the one chapter I had trouble with was the one that almost ruined it for me. Perhaps it's the grammatical errors that make it hard to discern the clues from the mistakes. If that is indeed the case don't worry, as I will be going back and fixing them. However for now I think the truth is best left unanswered and unknown.

Moirai stared at the hourglass watching the sand slowly fall. "The more Avatars we create the more dangerous this world gets, Aion what were the repercussions for bringing Asteria into being?"

"When I was created the magic fields of the world were thrown into disarray They will eventually stabilize but I'll have to do it manually, until that happens though you should expect random portals to open up around the world. There wont be any thing bad coming through really, mostly it will simply bring plants or the occasional animal so well be fine." Asteria said calmly and smiled. "Don't worry mommy, Every thing will be fine!" She exclaimed happily.

Moirai took a deep breath. "Okay, okay, so what's left?"

Aion thought for a moment. "Chaos, Harmony, Retribution and Probability. If you want we can stop and pick this up tomorrow." Aion said before hesitantly turning to her. "Mora, you do relies we've been living outside this entire time? Three years we have lived in this valley with the ponies and we have never really made a house."

Moirai nodded. "Yes, but we never really needed one." She replied before her eyes widened in realization. "Oh, we need a house. Aion what do we do?!" Moirai asked as she began to panic.

"Mora, calm down, like you said we really haven't had a need for one and I doubt that will change over night." Aion said calmly. "I'll start working on one later, I can probably use Alchemy. But that's not really important right now, are you are still able to keep making Avatars or do you want to stop. The next ones are going to be... tricky."

Moirai took a deep breath and slowly breath out. She repeated the motion several times before looking at Aion. "Alright, I'm ok now. So what do you mean by tricky?"

"Well, up until now we have only made Avatars that are single operators meaning that they didn't require an opposite to work." Aion explained.

"Let me guess," Moirai sighed. "These ones are different in the fact that they require an opposite."

"Without Order, Chaos can't exist as there would be nothing to balance, that's how the universe works." Aion said as he rubbed the back of his head. "People always make the universe more complicated than it actually is but I'll simply explain it now. The universe works on the universe really only runs on two basic rules, Physics and the Law of Equal Exchange. The physics part is self explanatory, it's the Law that complicates things. Think of the Universe as a set of scales," Aion said as he paused and used his magic to create a set of scales. "when something like Order is placed on the scales something has to stabilize the scales." He explained as he summoned a block and set it on one of the scales causing them to tip. "For that to happen the Universe will do one of two things. The first is if your trying to use Alchemy, Moirai can you tell me what happens in Alchemy?"

"One of the main laws of Alchemy states that for something to be gained something of equal value must be sacrificed. In the case of say creating stone you would need either the exact amount of minerals and such required to make it or an equal amount of something to turn into what you want." Moirai said.

Aion nodded. "Correct, Now the second way is when things such as a Cosmic Law is involved. Because Order exists the universe it creates the opposite to balance itself out. So if Order is created then the Universe creates Chaos." Aion explained as he created a pyramid and placed it on the scale and they returned to balance as they leveled out.

"So the next ones are tied with each other in the sense as they must be created at the same time?" Moirai asked.

Aion nodded. "Yes."

Moirai sighed. "Great twins." she said grumpily before a devilish smile grew on he face "So which do you choose Aion, Chaos and Harmony or Retribution and Probability?"

"Ah, what's the saying, turn about is fair play?" Aion said with a chuckle. "Vary well my dear, I choose door number one."

"Um... what?" Moirai asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing, never mind." Aion said with a sigh.

"Father means that he chooses Chaos and Harmony mother." Chronos said as he chuckled and Asteria laughed.

"At least someone gets my sense of humor." Aion grumbled and crossed his arms.

"Just pick a name!" Moirai said exasperated.

"Discord Pandemonium Chaos and Eris Zodiac Harmony." Aion sad with a smile.

"Aion if you do any more puns with names I swear I'm gonna do something, I don't know what but I will do something and you wont like it." Moirai said a edge in her voice.

Aion shrugged. "I doubt it but I'll stop." Aion said with a smile.

Aion and Moirai once again gathered there power and pushed it together as they did this Asteria and Chronos watch from a distance. Like the last two times the magic began to slowly take form, however unlike the last times the magic began to destabilize and instead of solidifying it began to warp and take on a life of its own. With a bright flash a magic shock wave occurred and the energies spit into two forms. The first to stabilize took the form if a young girl she wore a gray jacket and a fedora that was way to big. The other however didn't stabilize but instead began to condense and grow more and more chaotic before it completed and took the form of a boy in a brown jacket and a fedora that was way to big. As the magic dissipated the two twins were laid next to each other and with a final flash both there forms changed into what appeared to be chimeras with a lion's paw and an eagle's talon as arms and hands, a bull's hoof and a raptor's claw as feet, a dragons tail, something furry's body, the head of a pony with a single fang in the right side of his mouth, the antler of an elk and the horn of a goat, a Pegasus and a thestral wing on his back.

"Oh no, no, no,nonono!" Moirai ran over to them and used there magic to feel for any signs of life. After a moment she sighed. "There alive." She exclaimed with a smile as she turned to Aion only to pause. Aion had frozen in place a look of shock on his face and she swore she heard him mutter 'So that's what happened.' "Aion are you ok?" She asked.

Aion shook his head. "Sorry, it's just, I've seen there kind before. There race is called Draconequus." Suddenly the twins yawned and opened there eyes. The boys were yellow eyes with a red sclera and the girls were brown eyes with a blue sclera.

"Hey, can you be a little quieter? I'm really tired and I wanna sleep. Discord asked before falling back asleep. Eris looked at Moirai and Aion and raised her finger to her lips before snuggling black with her brother.

"Prepare for trouble and make it double." Aion sighed.

"Aion whats going on?" Moirai asked as she picked up the children.

"They have a great destiny Moirai, I only hope that we can prepare them." Aion replied.
