Author's Note

OK. So I caved and started the sequel. Spoilers for how the first one will end. Kinda. This story may not go the same way as the last one. But I will try and keep it entertaining for all of you.

Chapter 1

*As the ships sailed off into the fog, me and the girls smiled on the docks waving to them with a soft smile. The final words of the captain echoed in my mind. "When my song is sung and the fog rolls thick. I shall return to claim what's mine."*

Zipp took a deep breath and closed the book and looked out over the ocean as she laid on the beach closing the book she was reading. What did those words mean? What was he talking about? What-

"Hey Zipp!" Sunny called as the earth pony trotted over. "You wouldn't believe what the exploration team found!" Spotting the book, she sat next to Zipp.

"You mean the team of volunteers you got together to follow the clues in your dad's journal?" Zipp asked. "I thought when they found the library, they'd be coming back."

"Me too. But get this. They found another book from the Guardians of Equestria." Sunny explained excitedly. "And this one's from Twilight Sparkle!"

Zipp thought for a moment. "I wonder if…"

"What's the matter Zipp?" Sunny asked.

"Nothing… Let me know when it arrives so I can look it over." Zipp sighed. "I'd like to compare information."

"Is something wrong?"

"It's just… some of what this book says doesn't make sense." Zipp replied.

Sunny thought for a moment before nodding with a smile. "Sure thing Zipp. It shouldn't take long for the shipment of things to arrive." After a few moments of thought she added. "I'll get you a smoothie."

"Thanks." Zipp laughed before pulling out her phone as it rang. Looking at the message, she laughed. "Looks like Pipp got roped into another shopping trip with mom. So she won't be back till tomorrow."

Sunny smiled and nodded before leaving to get the drink.

After enjoying the smoothie, Zipp decided to take a nap till Sunny arrived with the new book. Before she knew it, Sunny arrived and gave him the promised book to look over.

Zipp scanned the book a few times as she compared what she saw in it to what she read in the other book. A part of her didn't want what she had read to be true. But the more she read the more she got the feeling that either they were embellishing on a few details… or at least she hoped that was the case.

Taking a deep breath she closed the book and made her way off the beach stopping at an old stallion who sat on a rocking chair as he looked over the ocean. "Enjoying the view?" She asked.

"When the song is sung. It will return." The old stallion sighed.

Zipp cocked an eyebrow at him. "What did you say?"

Just then Sunny called her, causing her to look towards the lighthouse. "Zipp!!! Izzy has a surprise for us! Hurry up!"

"Be right there!" Zipp called back before turning back to confront the old pony. But found nothing where she had sworn the old pony was sitting only moments ago. Shrugging it off she calmly flew off, counting what just happened to her mind playing games with her for being too dead set on finding answers.

Little did she know that several miles from the beach, a thick fog slowly made its way in as a gentle song came from it. But what will this mean for the ponies of Equestria? Will the fog bring a new friend? Or will it bring a new foe?

All anyone will know… is that when the song is sung… the fog will return. And with it comes the one who will reclaim what is theirs.
