Chapter 1

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.

Chapter 2

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 3

After a bit of self motivation and a cold shower, Zipp went to the main room of the lighthouse to let her friends know her final decision.

"So… why the sudden change of heart?" Hitch asked.

"You… probably wouldn't believe me if I told you." Zipp sighed.

"Try us." Pipp laughed. "Don't forget. We spent a long time believing some crazy stuff about each other before Sunny brought us together."

Shrugging, Zipp took a deep breath. "I've been seeing an old stallion appearing and disappearing all day. And every time he wanted me to sing the song mentioned in that old book. And when I went to my room he finally told me what the song was."

"And… wait…" Pipp gasped. "You mean… it's that one?" Seeing Zipp nod she asked. "Are you going to sing it using your name or hers?"

"He… never told me who she was… so… my name I guess." Zipp shrugged.

"Well if we're going to do this. We should do it right." Pipp announced.

"Please don't tell me…"

Just then the door to the lighthouse flew open as two ponies stepped in cheering in unison "MAKEOVER!!!!"

Zipp groaned and hung her head before submitting to her fate hoping to come out of this without too many mental scars.

A few hours later, Hitch and the girls were back in town where a stage overlooking the ocean was ready for the singing contest. And from the sounds the crowd made, the group could tell they were eager for the show to begin.

After a short speech from Sunny and Pipp about the event and how this year each tribe brought a little of how they separated it. The singing began.

Zipp took several deep breaths as she peeked out from behind the curtain and gasped before the idea for a quick retreat popped into her mind.

"What's the matter sis?" Pipp asked, seeing her sister.

"Mom's here. I thought she'd be at home running the year's event, as usual." Zipp explained. "I can't go out like this and sing that."

"You have nothing to worry about." Hitch announced as he trotted over with a confident smile. "I took care of it."

Zipp knew Hitch meant well. But if there's one thing she knew about her mom. It was that she tended to take things out of context. Especially when it came to comments about her daughter's. ESPECIALLY if a stallion said it. "Hitch. You lovable dumbass." She thought with a sigh.

"Hitch?" Pipp asked. "What exactly did you say to our mom?"

"That Zipp was going to sing the song she sang to you… and that you looked amazing in your costume… and I can't wait to hear your amazing voice." He replied as the two sisters facehoofed.

"Pipp?"

"On it." Pipp sighed before trotting out to try and avoid disaster.

"Hitch." Zipp sighed. "You do realize my mom likely thinks you have feelings for me… right?"

"Of course I do. You're my friend." He laughed.

"I mean that you have a crush on me." Zipp corrected. "You know. Like you want me to be your marefriend."

"Would that be such a bad thing?" He asked.

Zipp blinked in shock. "Wait… you're kidding right? But what about Sunny?"

"We've been childhood friends for ages. She's practically my sister." He laughed. "Besides, you and Pipp have a special kind of beauty that I can't get enough of."

Zipp blinked a few times before replying. "You should definitely tell my sister that stuff. I… I should really focus on getting ready for my turn on stage." She said as she quickly turned to move to a relatively safe distance. "Besides… no offense. But after that mess with you going rule crazy…"

"Oh… right." He laughed nervously. "Well. Hopefully you can be ready soon. It's almost your turn."

Once he left, she took a few deep breaths and moved into position to perform.

As the currents opened she heard her sister finishing the introduction as the music started to play. The sound of soft violins and flutes filled her ears and brought her back to when she heard her mother sing. Reminding her of every word and note.

As she began to sing, she knew the song would call him. But to her surprise… she was… at peace with it. She knew he would return. And if she was right about the book and song was true. He would come for her.

"My name is Zephyrina. A princess young and pure…" She sang, knowing she changed the words a bit. She needed to. She needed HIM to hear it. To know this wasn't just HIS song. It WAS theirs. And now… it's her's.

As she took a breath ready to finish, her ear twitched as a voice reached her. One that seemed to be coming from the fog.

"I am the prince of thousands. But none I rule this land…" came the reply.

She froze as her eyes widened in shock. He was there? When? How? Did he come when she started? Was it the first verse? She had so many questions. But to her surprise was one that was quickly answered. They didn't hear him.

The crowd cheered as she gave a bow before quickly moving backstage. Her heart raced with every step. Fear? Anticipation? Why? Why did his voice have this effect on her?

Lost in her thoughts, Zipp didn't notice her friends as they gathered around her cheering her performance.

"Zipp? You ok?"

"No… I'm not OK, Pipp…" Zipp replied breathlessly as she looked up at her sister with terror filled eyes. "I just called an ancient pirate to Maretime Bay."
