A man walked through the Everfree Forest at his side pair of skeletal dogs walked and on his shoulder a crow perched. A pack of timber wolves charged the intruder, the dogs growled and the figure turned, with a flick of his wrist a scythe appeared in his hand. One of the wolves leaped at him and the figure swung the scythe catching the wolf with the blade the wolf howled in agony, as the figure pulled the scythe from the creature a glowing blue orb came with it. The figure picked the orb from the blade and tossed it to one of the dogs who snapped it up and devoured it.

The wolves circled and growled at the intruder. "If you value your life then leave, I am in no mood for this foolish act. This is your only warning." The figure said and wolves froze in fear, his voice was echoed as if he had spoken in a cave but held an edge that was unmistakable.

The Alpha growled and the wolves charged. The dogs charged as well and the crow flew from its perch. "They are yours I be ahead." The figure said as he continued to walk toward the hart of the forest. As he walked he came across a small stream and he stopped and sat down on a fallen tree and closed his eyes, after a while the dogs returned and the crow landed and perched on his shoulder. "Did you enjoy your meal?" The man asked. The dog growled a reply and the man chuckled. "Well we're almost there." He said as he rose and began to cross the stream.

If any one had been around they would have noticed that the water wasn't stopped by the figure but rather flowed through him as if he were a ghost. Once the figure crossed the river he continued down the path till he reached the ancient castle but instead of crossing the bridge he began to walk down into the chasm that surrounded the castle.

Once he reached the bottom he approached and entered to the cave that house the Tree of Harmony. Once he entered he stared at the tree in sadness. "Hey my dear, sorry I'm so late but I did it, I got him to spill. He told me how to free you." The figure said as he reached into his robes and pulled out five glowing blue crystals and walked toward the tree. He slowly circled the base till he located a spot in the back where it appeared as if something had been broken off. He smiled and placed the five crystals in the slot and the tree began to glow brighter and brighter till stopped and the tree went dark.

The figure gulped and walked back around to the front of the tree and waited. A sudden cracking sound made him jump and the tree began to crack and break apart, suddenly with a loud smashing sound the tree exploded and where it stood was a girl in her late twenties. She had long white hair, two small fangs, two big white angel wings and hooves instead of feet. She wore a grey fedora and trench-coat and she slowly opened her eyes to reveal they were brown with a blue sclera. "Good to see you again, Eris." The figure said with a smile.

"F-father?" Eris said shocked before charging the man and tackled him in to a hug. "FATHER!" She cried as she hugged him. "But how? We all thought that Starswirl imprisoned you as well?" She asked.

Aion smiled. "Remember what I said? No mater what someone does nothing can contain death, and none except an immortal can stop death."

"Does Tia and Lulu know?" Eris asked with a smile.

Aion shook his head. "The others are on there way to Canterlot but they don't know were free yet. Though that will change now, with you restored the Elements will no longer be needed. Come on we got a lot of work to do and very little time to do it."

Celestia was looking out the thrown room windows watching for the train. Luna sighed as she watched he sister. "Sister I know thou are worried but there is nothing to do till thee student and-" She was cut off as the Elements glowed brightly and shattered. Celestia and Luna stared in shock.

"Luna, I think there is more going on then we first thought." Celestia said in shock.

A sudden pop brought the two alicorns out of there shock as Discord appears with a smile. "Celly, Lulu, do you feel it? She's back! ERIS IS BACK!" He yelled in joy as he grabbed and hugged the two alicorns.
