Tao awoke in the warmth of a bed as she rose...holding her head she looked around.

This wasn't the train car, she was in somekind of room that was alien to her it wasn't like the rooms of Japony or anything like her own room. She turned around to see her red guardian asleep in his armor in a large chair as he snoozed away with his arms crossed, Tao got up as she placed her hat (forgive me if I don't know its name) back on her head as she walked over to the window of the room to see a courtyard of some castle. That was when it hit her, was she in the Cantorlot castle? Turning over to Alexander who was dead to the world she smiled as she realized what had happened, he must have gently carried her back to the castle when they arrived and did his best not to wake her.

Walking over to him she placed a hand on his shoulder pad and gently shook him as his helmet lit with life as he arose from his sleep. Turning his head to the one who woke him he was meet with smiling Tao who watched as he uncrossed his arms before placing his hands together.

"Forgive me, Mistress, I would have woke you but you seemed so peaceful in your slumber," He said.

"Its fine Alexander I find it quite charming that you did that," She said as he rose from the chair he was sitting in.

"Now where are we off to Mistress?" He asked as she looked down at her robes before speaking.

"I believe I should change and you must wait outside as I do so," She said as Alexander bowed.

"If that is what you wish mistress," He said as Tao shook her head with a smile as he rose and began to walk outside the room as she grabbed her bag and opened it as she pulled out a pair of fresh robes.

Twilight walked down the halls of the castle alongside here friends as she was almost about to lose all sense of professionalism when she arrived.

She was sent a letter from Princess Celestia that a priestess from the country known Japony had arrived at Cantrolot with a red bodyguard that was...questionable but she was to bring the elements and her friends just in case if this bodyguard had other intentions. Slightly confused on why a strange bodyguard would have other intentions from protecting the priestess, from what she heard that these priestesses had spell magic that the temple of the dragon of light only knew and didn't share with outsiders. Twilight wanted to see if she can learn some of this magic so she could teach it and so the temple won't hog a such a powerful type of magic!

"So twilight what's with the deal of us bring the elements?" Rainbow asked to which Twilight shrugged.

"Don't know Celestia told us to bring them here just in case don't know why but they were required apparently," Twilight said as rarity spoke.

"Whatever this is it can't too long I must get back to my work I have a deadline to keep," Rarity said as the group rolled there eyes at the white-coated pony.

As they entered the throne room the ponies walked into the room as the two sisters where on there respective thrones as Celestia smiled to the sight of her student as she rose as she walked down her throne as twilight smiled as she walked forward. The two hugged as Celestia broke the hug as Luna walked over to them, then Celestia spoke to the element of magic in a warm tone.

"Its good to see you young twilight along with the rest of you I hope your ride here wasn't too bad," She said as the twilight spoke.

"It wasn't a big deal a few bumpy trips but we got here no problem now then where are the priestess I have so many questions to ask her," Twilight said as Celestia spoke.

"She is asleep last time I check that...thing carried her in from the train," Celestia said as she scoffed at the word thing.

"Actually she is awake and I believe my guardian is a male, not a 'thing' princess," Tao said as she entered the throne room as the group turned to the source of the voice to all the elements and spike to gasp at what they saw.

Before them was a priestess from the temple of the light dragon along next to her was a red and black armored giant standing next to her with a sword on his belt along with a white helmet on his head as a pair of blue eyes scanned them over.

"Whoa..." Rainbow said as they all could agree to that statement as she saw the two who walked in.

Tao walked in with her hands in her sleeves as she turned to the group as she smiled before bowing down.

"You must be the elements its a pleasure to meet you I am Tao Priestess of the temple and this is my guardian Alexander," Tao greeted as Alex bowed down as well.

The group looked at them before they rose up as twilight ran up to Tao and spoke.

"I have so many questions about your culture! Tell how do the priestess of the temple heal without horns!" Twilight began to ask so many questions that Tao just shook her head.

"Many of those questions I cannot answer for I am sworn an oath to hold the secrets of the light dragon temple," Tao said as Twilight spoke.

"But surely you can see if we all learned your magic a lot of lives will be saved," Twilight said as Tao shook her head.

"I understand that but I am under oath," She said as Twilight was about to say more until spike stepped up.

"Twilight please respect Tao's wishes," Spike said as Twilight spoke.

"But-"

"No twilight stop," Spike said as Twilight did causing the others to looked at her as Pinkie gasps.

"OHHHHHHHHDOYOULIKEPARTIESTELLMETHATYOUDOALSOWHYISYOURFRIENDSOBIG!IGOTTOKNOW!ANDDOYOULIKECAKES?WHATABOUTCUPCAKES!WHATSYOURFAVOITEFOODALSOWHATSWITHTHEFUNNYHAT?" Pinkie then gasped for another question. "Are you two dating,"

Tao and Alex flinched at what she said as Tao blushed moving her head away from Alexander who rubbed the back of his head.

"Well no we just meet yesterday," Tao said as Alexander nodded.

"Though we need to get to know each other," Alexander said as Tao turned to him.

"Agreed," Tao said as she spoke to him before turning to the group. "Now if you excuse us we have tasks to do this morning,"

The group seemed confused as did the princess.

"What kinda tasks?" Luna asked as Tao spoke.

"Well to do our daily exercises," Tao stated as Rainbow puffed up.

"Whoa, you guys exercise? You got to show me what you guys do!" Rainbow said. "After all, I am a black belt in karate,"

Tao turned to her as she blinked.

"Karate you say? Well, I think you should come join us," Tao said as Rainbow lit up.

"Can I?"

(Moments later)

"This isn't what I was thinking," Rainbow said as Tao and Alexander were sitting under a royal garden sitting under a cherry blossom in a meditating state.

Not opening her eyes Tao spoke.

"This is might not be a exercise of the body but it is of the mind," Tao said as the rest of the main six along with the watched as Luna spoke.

"See sister how can someone do this and be a threat?" Luna asked Celestia as she huffed crossing her arms.

"He is still a threat to all my little ponies no matter what he does," Celestia said as Luna narrowed her eyes.

"So am I,"

"What? What makes you say that!" Celestia shouts as Tao peeked open an eye.

"I have the power of the moon I could destroy all of the world if I wanted to but I don't so what am I to you? We might be sisters what if we weren't what would I be?" Luna asks with her hands out as Celestia was about to say something but stopped as she turned to Alex.

Tao smiled as she closed her eyes as spoke.

"It seems your trouble Princess why don't you join us?" Tao asked as Celestia looked forward.

"I'm fine,"

"Really I can sense your quite stressed out... you know stress is the silent killer right? And meditating is a good way to relative stress," Tao said as Celestia closed her eyes with her arms crossed under her bust.

"I wouldn't let my guard down while he's here," Celestia as Luna smiled.

"You called him a 'he' instead of an 'it' good for you sister," Luna said as Celestia blushed before speaking.

"I-I Don't use my words against me you know what I mean!" Celestia said as Luna rolled her eyes.

"Sure,"

Tao smiled as she spoke to Alexander as the two sisters spoke.

"So tell me, Alex, who is this commander farsight?"
