Blood-red clouds painted the sky, and a strong wind was blowing. Ponies from the ground were still and silent on their backs. Small creatures were crawling inside their bodies. And some of them left their bodies. The stain leaked from the bodies dripped to the ground, and the air had an unpleasant tar smell. The wind blew from the east side to the north.

Surprise walked to the tree of death and felt very alone, “If only I had this life. It's very harmful to Princess Rarity, a place of never-ending torture. When will this ever end?” She closed her eyes and took a deep breath from her lungs, looking up in the clouds. “My wings have failed me. There is no chance in the sky again. My blood stains are coating my fur.”

“It’s time to remove them, shall we.” The mare in black had been there behind the tree. She walked to the other side with a scalpel. “One must face death to make a new life. I will end your pain and suffering.”

"No, help me, some pony.” She used a lower-pitched voice.

Art Pony walked around the tree and used her left hoof, and swiped it. The right-wing fell off, leaving blood all over the place. Another stroke from Art Pony caused Surpise's left wing to come off. She was surprised when wetness dripped from her eyes down her cheeks.

“I'm not going to murder you. The short answer is that I require a project I have in mind. You may say that was a necessary price. Until we speak again.”

“Megan, we need help once again.”

Art Pony carried her paintbrush, swiped it near that same tree, and went through it. The portal then disappeared as it dissolved.

“I must get to safety.”

Surprise slowly dragged her back hooves down the hill. She then slipped down a moment later.

“Water. I need water.”

She looked around and couldn't find anything. Her eyes started to shut.

A white pony with a blue mane and tail walked to Surprise.

Surprise knew she couldn’t get another attack from an enemy. Her heart began to rise. Things were blurry, and the shadow from the tree got darker.

One second later.

Comic Con Ninja and Comic Con Tattoo placed the finished touch on the Pony Project.

Art Pony walked from the painted portal. She looked at the table filled with stains of red. The light was very dim, flickering with the sound of electricity.

“Hey, Comic Con Ninja, is it ready?”

“Almost there, Art Pony. We have placed the tattoo as a small, pink-shaped heart.”

“Pony Project is almost at one hundred percent.”

“Perfect Comic Con Ninja. Please don’t fail me this time.”

Regan Grail had her eyes shut, “Why did it come to be? Why me?”

Six months ago.

“Twilight, what are you doing here?”

“There is a time and place. I must bring you to Canterlot.”

“What for?”

“Princess Rarity is stepping down, and the new two princesses. Princess Celestia and Princess Selena want you to finish what your ancestors did. They were known as the Grim Family.”

“Huh?” She used her left hoof and moved it back and forward on top of her head three times.

“All the explaining will be there, Regan Grail.” Twilight spread her wings and her head up and down three times.

They both walked to the pink air balloon. “It will be near the rear, a pink pony with purple stars. Also, they are no pegasus.”

The wind blasted from the east, the rain fell heavily, and the balloon shook.

“Are they earth pony friendly?”

“I’m afraid I have no clue in the matter. However, if it makes you feel better, I must stay behind.”

They both got on the pink air balloon.

“There might be an earth pony that might be awkward at first.”

“Awkward? What do you mean?”

“Yeah, ummm… pony is like a sweetpea, that’s right.”

Twilight steered the balloon southeast as the wind blew from the northwest.

“Look, Twilight, no idea about my ancestors. Do I even have a family in the past?”

“Everyone has a former family, of course, you foolish pony. It’s just that…” She turned her head to the left.

“Just what?” Her body shook, her eyes shut slightly, and her right hoove went up and down five times.

“Wingsong II might tell you.”

“Tell me what?”

“About the family that you're about to meet.”

“Once you?”

“Find that special cupcake.”

“Cupcake?”

She used her right hoof to cover Reagan Grail's mouth.

“Be careful of that Cupcake.”

“Huh?”

“She’s the lady that was missing from the library.”

“Royalty?”

“Yeah, Cupcake has been missing. The same goes for the others that went in there. You best be careful otherwise.”

“Otherwise?”

“You’ll never come out.”

The balloon was a third-quarter way there to its destination. The sun was high in the sky as if the wind blew in a different direction from the east.

“Ah, we're almost there. Any last words before are land.”

“Yes? I think so. I certainly think so. Who is going to take me to the library?”

“It will be Twilight.”

“You mean you?”

“No.”

Reagan spoke in her head, “This better not be another Twilight Zone.”

The air balloon landed perfectly.

Reagan walked out of the balloon with Twilight.

“This is where we part ways, Reagan. I’m going to get some coffee.”

They both nodded their heads and went separate ways.

However, Reagan bumped into an earth pony. She had yellow as her mane with green and orange highlights. Reagan looked at her flank and saw seven stars as her cutie mark.

Twilight started to get red cheeks near her dramatic arch near her eyes. Her face was hot, and both of her cheeks were getting red.

“Are you Reagan?”

She nodded her head up and down six times quickly with her eyes shut.

“Come with me if you want to live.”

Reagan raised her left eyebrow, “Aren’t I post to be with the Princess?”

“I understand how that could look if they place you there. You won't be leaving, I guess. No, not by a long stretch.”

“What do you mean?”

“She sends several of her best guards, but they never return. Many ponies made an effort to find her sibling. Even Surprise went in there. At what cost?”

“Where is Princess Rarity?”

“You do not know… she also went looking as well.”
