The journey of a walker

Trapped in the middle of a forest, she runs as fast as her own being can without stopping either from pain or from fatigue, she goes after distant screams of those she loves like the howls of her pursuers, in her desperation she could not stop trying, she cannot simply leave them to their fate without at least doing something for them.

"Spike Applejack where are they!" she said with all his strength as she galloped.

But she does not hear an answer and in only hears a horrible cry of distant death that makes everything stand up, gallops at full speed to where it came, tears begin to flow in abundance. That scream was Spike's, and he could only beg Celestia to find them in time, she arrived at the river, she looked at it in desperation in a vain attempt to find them. She is aware of hearing several growls that come from all directions, she knows who those growls are and has no way to flee, the river is coming with too much force for her to cross, the wolves are surrounding her in multiple directions not allowing her to escape, she has no choice but to fight and she get into position.

The magic begins to flow in his horn ready for the fate that awaits him, the first of the wolves launches, reacts with eager speed in launching a powerful lightning bolt that destroys them and turns him to ashes, she tries to concentrate the attack on as many as she can, but they dodge her and one of them attacks her hind legs only to be accompanied by another who attacks her other leg. Twilight tries to counter him despite the pain she tries to refocus on an attack spell, only to be unsuccessful when another of them attacks her on her front legs and neck, due to the sudden loss of air, she loses the concentration she needed and in a vain attempt tries to free herself. She felt the blood flowing through his wounds like the increasing difficulty of breathing, her senses were disappearing from his being and tears ran down her cheeks.

"Forgive me, Spike, Applejack," she said helplessly and with deep regret.

She wakes up startled by the nightmare she had, being the first thing she sees is the roof of Zecora's cabin, she still feels very weak from the effort they made yesterday and her fever is still high, she tries to move to look around, with some difficulty she manages to see Zecora who seemed to be throwing one of her concoctions into a bowl. Zecora turns to look at Twilight and gives her a smile when she sees that she has already woken up.

"I welcome you with joy in your awakening, but you must not make an effort to avoid worsening." She approaches with the bowl. "Drinking this concoction will allow you to regain your condition."

With a little help from Zecora Twilight gets up a little and starts drinking the concoction, it does not taste the most delicious, but it is pleasant in the least, it is just peculiar in its taste. When he finishes drinking it, he lies down again. She looks at Zecora giving him a sincere smile.

"Thank you Zecora, one will owe you for all this." She gives a sincere smile, making her return it to him as well.

"It won't be necessary; with the help you must avoid going back to the reckless trajectory."

Twilight makes a small grin about what Zecora said, in her eagerness to look for Spike and Applejack could have made her health condition even worse, but she still can't get rid of that deep fear she has for something very bad would happen to both of them, she can only embrace the trust she has in her friends that there is a possibility that they can find them.

"Grief scares you in every constant, but never doubt your friends for a moment," she said encouragingly to Twilight, and she looks at him. "Rest this evening, and your strength will recover with the weakening."

Twilight cannot quite deny Zecora's words, and all she would need for now is to have to wait for her friends to get something. Little by little he feels that the exhaustion caused by his illness begins to consume him, it is better to let his mind return once again to the world of dreams. Zecora takes the blanket she has with her mouth and covers Twilight; she goes to take a short break.

In another part of the forest Everfree Spike begins to wake up little by little from his nap when he hears several voices, the first thing he feels is a heat that emanates from under his chest, a soft fur as well as feathers above, confused he begins to rise to feel that the feathers move in another direction.

"Oh Spike, I'm sorry if our conversation has awakened you," Fluttershy said softly.

Spike hearing Fluttershy's voice scratches his eyes and puts his surprise gaze on her.

"Fluttershy," he said incredulously, and with questions, before he could ask another voice to speak to him.

"Spikey-wikey, it's good to know what you've woken up from," Rarity said, hugging him gently.

Spike is deeply in love and when he looks at her, he cannot help but almost melt at the sight of her, but he puts it back on Fluttershy's back being a little disappointed.

"Rarity," he said in a loving tone, soon putting aside his crush when he notices that he does not see Applejack anywhere. "Wait, where's Applejack?" He said worried that he would not see her.

"Oh, don't worry Spike, Big Mac is the one who has Applejack," Fluttershy said and with one of his wings he points a little further back from where they are.

Spike sees where he points and there is Big Mac and there is Applejack and Pinkie Pie, when he sees in front of where he gives a smile and then apparently talks to Big Mac again. Spike realizes that if he and Applejack are next to them, if the last thing he remembers is that he had fallen asleep on him, he thinks about it for a moment and it does not seem like they are worried or afraid, then they did not have contact with him?

"When did they find us?" He said curiously, deep down eager to know if they ever found him.

Before either of them could talk about how they found out, out of nowhere Pinkie appears who is the one who gives the answer.

"It wasn't very difficult to do it, we found you in a meadow sleeping comfortably," she said quickly and cheerfully in his voice, as she jumps up and down.

Spike blinks a couple of times something that Pinkie would say randomly sounds, he turns to look at Rarity and Fluttershy only for them to both nod in affirmation of Pinkie's words, he hears Rarity's melodious voice.

"Yes, only with the addition that we found them behind some bushes when they moved.

Fluttershy hid her face a little inside her mane, embarrassed to be very frightened by the sound of simple branches.

Spike abandons his crush for a moment and that explains how they had met, but it seems that he may not yet have enough confidence to talk to others, perhaps fear, distrust or simple shyness, he would have his reasons the only thing that if he has no idea if Applejack would have already mentioned it, his train of thought is interrupted by Fluttershy's voice.

"Is something wrong, Spike?" Fluttershy said curiously at Spike's constant gestures about having doubts.

At Fluttershy's call, Spike puts aside his thoughts and sees Fluttershy.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking a little about some things and how we got to that little meadow that Pinkie mentioned," he said a little hurriedly, hoping it had not noticed.

"Well, Applejack said there's one very important thing they both must have said when they were at the two sisters' castle, though she insisted that Twilight and Rainbow must have known it too," Fluttershy said, though he was hesitant.

Spike gives a good idea of why and he couldn't agree more, given the meeting with him, it's definitely something that they should better discuss together, and then see what could be done, in addition to having to prepare a possible letter to Celestia and Luna, that's going to be a long letter over given the excitement that Twilight puts on him about this new discovery.

"I'm going to have to agree with Applejack and it's going to be a long explanation. He said with interest, what is going to come out.

Fluttershy and Rarity share a look, they both get an idea that, if it's something that needs to be discussed with Twilight, it means that it's going to be very important, but for now it's better to leave it for the moment and focus on returning, and then they'll be attentive to what both Applejack and Spike will talk about, they just hope that this won't cause many problems in the future.

Not much had happened along the way, except for the occasional talk and Spike getting off Fluttershy's back, the atmosphere had become a little more anxious than usual. On the one hand, it is due to the mysterious issue that both Spike and Applejack have between hoofs or claws in the case of Spike. In addition, he has a constant thought about whether Twilight is okay.

"Fluttershy.

"Yes, Spike," he said with materiality in his voice and a small smile.

"How is Twilight?" He said with concern.

"She is now in Zecora's cabin, yesterday she went with us to look for clues about your whereabouts, but no matter how much we insisted that she stay, she did not pay attention and it was with us, in the end when we found no clues of you her condition worsened and we had to take her to Zecora's cabin and she has been there since yesterday, but before we started the search, the visit and luckily it seems that thanks to Zecora's positions it has been improved," she said in a hopeful tone to help Spike a little more.

Spike can only feel a certain fear that something bad might happen to Twilight, although he is in good hoofs with Zecora he cannot quite help but worry about her and hopes to see her soon.

A little time passes, and the small group arrives outside Zecora's cabin, and the first to knock on the door is Rarity and shortly Zecora opens the door quietly, seeing that both Spike and Applejack have managed to return unharmed and gives a smile.

"They are fortunate to be found. But I ask for tranquility that will be needed, for your friend." Zecora said in a muffled voice, pointing with one of her helmets to the place of sleep where Twilight is.

They all look at where Twilight is and see that she is sleeping quite peacefully, they didn't know if she was like this as she felt that things could have gone well or Zecora may have given her in her potions a means to have peaceful dreams, but it is better to put something like that aside and it is better to hope that it is not something that has lasting effects.

"Oh, thank you Celestia, she's better than the last time we saw her," Rarity said in a low, relieved voice.

"We'd better let her rest, we'll tell her we're all right tomorrow," Applejack said quietly.

"It's better. Rarity said, "Look at Zecora. "Thank you for helping us."

"There is no need to thank myself, but to thank yourself.

Before the group leaves, Spike approaches Zecora.

"Excuse me Zecora, it won't be a bother if I can at least stay and be with Twilight.

Zecora gives her a smile.

"There will be no problem.

Spike smile.

"Thank you, Zecora."

The others simply give Spike a smile of tenderness for his great loyalty to Twilight and Big Mac gives a sincere smile, even if they wanted to stay for a little longer, the sunset was already beginning to appear on the horizon and it is convenient not to stay in the woods during the night. The main group split up saying goodbye to Zecora and Spike and the group begins their way back, Applejack stopping only for a moment to look back, Pinkie Pie standing next to him.

"Are you missing?" she said curiously, using binoculars to see in the distance.

Applejack turned to look at Pinkie, she was not going to ask where she got those binoculars.

"I do miss you both and I honestly hope you're all going to be okay tonight.

"Oh, don't worry about it, they're going to be fine, especially with the surprises in the forest," she said cheerfully, as he set out again.

Applejack looks at Pinkie Pie curiously, she must have heard from him, or it is just one of the strange times that Pinkie Pie talks, whatever it is better to go her way.

Night comes and Zecora prepares some quilts and blankets to spend the night, Spike was going to get ready to sleep in one of the quilts, but he is stopped by Zecora who points one of her hoofs at Twilight was beginning to suffer from some bad dreams, Spike approaches and settles between Twilight's blankets and closes in to hug her. The action works and Twilight calms down and reciprocates Spike's embrace. Even if her mind is not conscious, it hugs him tightly and she would not let him go.

Zecora finally sees the scene and replaces one of the candles she has leaving her cabin in the dark once again, they let the chirping of the crickets flood the outskirts of the cabin with their song.

The first lights of dawn began to infiltrate through the sale of Zecora's cabin, these lights began to hit Twilight in the face little by little she began to wake up, she still felt tired but better and she no longer felt completely sick. She feels that there is something that is moving between his hooves and it seemed that he is also hugging something, she removes the blankets that she has on her a little and she could not believe who she is seeing, she could not stop some tears of joy from being shed to see that he has Spike between his hooves, he is still fast asleep and with a very peaceful vision of himself, She lets him fall asleep for a while longer while he hugs a little more.

Zecora was not in the cabin at the time, he had left a little before dawn to gather supplies for his positions as well as food, the forest is quiet and does not echo the grunts of the most dangerous animals. The creature that gave that powerful cry frightened of them and they are afraid to show up. But this mystery of the strange footprints they found stays, it is someone who walks on his two legs, but no species she knows wears shoes, due to their size it must be larger than the minotaur's. Something told her that it is possible that this mysterious being is the one who could have saved them, given the proximity of his footprints, but they are assumptions without a concrete foundation, she just hopes that what is in this forest is not going to be an evil one.

With all the supplies gathered Zecora returns to her cabin, when she goes inside, she sees that Spike has gotten up while he helped a little in tidying up the cabin, Twilight also helped as she could, but neither had realized that Zecora had arrived and spoke to them both.

"Even if they are rested by dawn."

At those words both Spike and Twilight are scared, Spike almost loses his balance of putting one of the bottles that luckily none of them dropped, but in Twilight's case she was not so lucky and one of Zecora's masks falls on her, luckily she does not get hurt, but when she lifts up somehow the mask gets stuck.

"Let me help you, Twilight." Spike reaches over to help him remove his mask.

Zecora goes to put the ingredients where they should go and approaches to help Spike and Twilight in removing the mask it seems that neither of them succeeds, she takes it off without too much difficulty something that showed that both Twilight and Spike could not do.

"Thank you, Zecora," Twilight said, a little embarrassed about not being able to take it off at first.

They hear the door of Zecora's hut knocked on.

"I go," said Spike.

He approaches and opens the door and they see that in fact they are all his friends except for Applejack, they all look at Twilight who is much better and before saying a word she ends up being hugged by all of them who incidentally also took Spike in the middle making a big group hug to the two, no word was needed between them all for the mere joy that Twilight has recovered, but Spike would receive no less, in fact the opposite he received even more. But in the end, it is a relief for everyone that things have gone well.

The group organizes to take Twilight back, Zecora prescribes a couple of potions for a quick recovery and to deal with the last vestiges of her illness, with this they return and agrees that they were going to meet later about what both Spike and Applejack were going to need to mention, but for now they have to let Twilight rest.

While in the forest Faltrun is overheated the things he was going to need to have the castle as a temporary shelter like other things, taking what he can fit in his empty pockets, he started shortly before dawn since he had woken up again from his nightmares, the incident he had the day before had abandoned the supplies he was going to need for the camp, gathered what was necessary and headed back to the castle. Since he had met those wooden creatures, he had only seen them once and in all of those they were fleeing in fear, well at least he would not have to deal with them anymore. But he does not have to let his guard down in the slightest, this forest could still bring unpleasant surprises that may come upon it.

With his arrival at the castle he can relieve his tension and focus on what he was going to need, he builds a shelter much better inside the castle with several sticks and leaves to function as covers, with the easiest part already done he plans to make a system that prevents dangerous forest animals from getting in. But it seemed that it is not necessary, the time he has been in the castle he has never seen a single one of those animals inside the castle, he did not know the reasons why, but it was not necessary, the last task he had to do was the most complicated and that is to have to build access points to avoid the ravine that surrounds the castle, but can jump the ravine without problems, but it is better to create an access point and not complicate his life.

He goes first to the bridge he originally took to enter the castle for the first time, when he arrives he takes out the small sphere that he kept in one of his bags, activates it with a few touches of its surface activating it, it floats around the bridge collecting and analyzing the damage and weak points needed for an urgent repair, with the transmitted information, the sphere is getting closer, but it is not going to deactivate it yet.

He approaches the edge of the ravine, and his armor makes the necessary calculations to jump across the abyss, shows the best point and the necessary speed, gets into position, and jumps to the other side without any problem. Now he approaches the edge of the forest and uses the sphere to analyze the trees, and lianas or roots to look for the ones they can best as the necessary amount. The trees that had the best wood he marked for later use, while the lianas and branches he collected.

When he gathers everything, he needs, he will leave them near the bridge, take the sphere, deactivate it, and put it away. He approaches one of the trees that he marked, there are not many in general since he needs the strongest ones in general, which are the best option to make the repairs of the bridge, he approaches the first one and with his hands he takes the tree uproots it without too many problems and takes it with all the other materials he will need.

An hour after starting his work he gathers all the necessary materials, he begins first with cutting some of the trees into trunks to make beams, with the amount already made he begins to put two of them tilting them and putting them on the sides of the bridge, he takes the vines he has to tie them. He takes two other logs, but as vertical pillars putting them in their corners and buries them deep in the ground, with this side done they throw the other necessary trunks to the other side and take the materials that he would need for the other side, to do the same process. Now he needs to fill the gaps in the stones with the wood and fix the loose stones with the vines, gradually fill in the gaps in the stone and fix the loose stones.

But his work stops completely when the bridge ends up collapsing under his weight and falls into the void, in a quick maneuver he grabs the cliff causing the stones to break in his iron grip, seeing that he is already close to the ground and is not very deep he lets go, he takes a look up where the bridge used to be. Give a snort of disappointment for the result, now he will have to make one from scratch or must take the long way that is down the river, just leave it that way he is going to take it the long way.

Since it is already down there it is better to take the opportunity to explore a little to see what things and surprises it can bring him, although it is most likely that he will not find much given to the nature of the place. He spends a while walking without finding anything interesting, luckily it would seem that there are not many animals in the area either, as far as he can say, he stops for a moment when he sees that a little away from where he is he sees that a part of that ravine is stairs, that calls him too much curiosity since that was created in addition to noticing that there is an opening that indicates that it is a possible cave.

He approaches the edge of the cave to see inside, he can only look with strangeness and many doubts about what he is seeing and it is a crystal tree, he approaches and goes inside the cave, he notices that it has some peculiar symbols that on its branches would seem like shields or something similar, but in the center of these it has a different symbology. In the trunk there are two symbols that are literally the representation of the star of the system and its natural satellite, he wonders if the one he saw in that dream has something to do with it, in the center a type of star that does not know its meaning, the rest is quite unknown except for two of them. One is a gem and a lightning bolt, but one does not know that it is about the others.

Beyond just merely the appearance it has is strange there is something that does not know how to explain it beyond the fact that in a way there is a unique form of energy, he thinks about it carefully and it may have to do with the natives about their strange abilities. He remembers stories about the different expeditions that found something that described magic, a kind of added essential force that governs nature itself, this would seem to be like everything else and would explain why he had not seen those strange creatures of the forest in the castle.

Well he went into a cave only for the final in a strange turn of his reasoning to end up having a rational idea of the functioning of this world, a strange form of allegory of this world, too bad that he had to rule out some sign of madness, he has already been very far from that more than he would like and he does not want to have those memories again. He prepares to leave and takes one last look at the mysterious crystal tree, it is perhaps a very strange thing that he will not deny is the energy he felt, it is very positive and harmonious, he takes his next steps that leave the cave moving away and continues his way back to the castle, little does he know that that tree shone a little, perhaps its meaning is curiosity, perhaps take a closer look at their actions.

The afternoon arrives once again in Ponyville the ponies go from one place to another in their chores of the day, even though a certain family was more than happy not to have lost one of their dearest ones, more than one matter still has to be dealt with what they should both talk about, the five friends arrive at the agreed meeting point, Spike had told Twilight about the plans they were going to make on the subject of how they had managed to get to the sisters' castle, Twilight was very interested in her since she indirectly gave an implication that someone had helped them but it is more special than usual.

The group of five friends arrived at separate times at Twilight's treehouse and Rainbow was the last to arrive, not so much because she was slow but because she forgot the memo. With everyone present and somehow with Pinkie comically pulling out a magnifying glass and a detective envelope from somewhere, they quickly put it aside given how Pinkie is, they gathered in the center of the library.

"Well, Spike, Applejack, what can you tell us about what you've experienced in the woods?" Twilight said with a hint of curiosity.

"As you know, all the trouble we had with the Timberwolves and our fall down the river," Spike said.

"Plus, the wound I got on my leg when I hit one of the rocks," Applejack said, emphasizing the condition of his leg.

"I wish I had been there to help them fight and show them that they shouldn't mess with any of our friends," Rainbow Dash said proudly.

Applejack just tilted his eyes.

"Believe me, there were too many and the only thing we could do was run to avoid them but know for Celestia why there were so many at that time.

"The zoology books that talk about Timberwolves, mention that they group together in large numbers when they go hunting very large prey," Twilight said in reflection of the events.

"Let's not get too far off topic, oh we won't finish," Spike said. "The point is that at the end when I woke up I was in the castle of the two sisters, when I explored a little I saw the one who saved us and let's just say that it is very different," Spike pauses for a moment, he didn't know how to explain it. He knows that they are looking at him with eagerness.

"It seems to be exact; it is a being that we had never seen, quite tall something like 4 meters tall that was wearing black armor and did not know how to speak our language, besides appearing to be him because of the type of voice he had," Applejack said.

Before starting to question her appearance anymore, the first to do so is Pinkie who speaks.

"You mean him. "She takes a photograph that shows the group of friends to the subject she is referring to.

It is from Faltrun shortly after she had left with his poncho on, but not reached his feet, all the friends when they see the photo are surprised in a way it gives them some scary given the scary look he has, which affects Fluttershy the most, Rainbow Dash could not deny that her appearance despite being scary is 10% cooler than she expected, With Twilight being more doubtful as to how Pinkie had gotten the photograph, Spike and Applejack were simply going to wait for her questions.

"Pinkie: How did you manage to get a photograph without him noticing? Twilight said in surprise, as she reviewed the image.

"I just posed in front of him and took a picture of him," she said obviously, but it only generated more questions than answers and for the sake of his mental health she left it better to put it aside.

Rarity is the next to check out the photo.

"Outside of its scary appearance, it's too simple the way it dresses, plus those colors aren't very good for hiding in a forest, and even at night it's too contrasting in low-light environments," Rarity said, analyzing the only color the being shown in the photo.

Everyone looks at him curiously at the mention of their colors, only for Rainbow to speak later.

"But it does look pretty cool, just the way it looks," Rainbow Dash said.

Rainbow Dash was arguing with Rarity. The next to take the photo was Fluttershy, when she analyzes a little more, she realizes two things.

"Spike: By mere coincidence, doesn't he have about five fingers?" She said curiously.

All except Applejack, Spike and Pinkie look at him with doubt, Applejack, Spike look at him with clear surprise and Pinkie looks at him with interest.

"How did you know that he has five fingers?" Applejack said in surprise.

"Um. On the day the two of you disappeared at the Cutie Marks, they found a handprint or five-fingered claw that it found close to the river near Rarity's house.

Rarity remembered that.

"It's true, I had completely forgotten that strange footprint they found, I wouldn't be surprised if it was his, besides it's very possible that it was he who made that roar in the forest," she said thoughtfully.

"He's also wearing those huge boots, he left those marks near the river," Pinkie said, emphasizing that last point, something that Fluttershy also nodded to the find.

"What kind of language did he speak? They mentioned that he did not speak our language, you can emphasize it more Applejack," Twilight said as she collected all the notes and clues that each one mentioned about this being.

"Well, I'm not an expert in languages, but I can tell you that there is definitely no way to be able to speak his, the first word he said was his name or so it seems, the sound he made is very different and impossible to pronounce, only Spike could say his name, but not very well.

Twilight thinks things over for a moment.

"Their language is not pronounceable to ponies, but dragons seem to be able to or at least partially," she said curiously as she notes.

"Well, I imagine that you two also gave your names, how do I get to pronounce them?" Rainbow Dash said.

Everyone is attentive to what they are going to say, and it is Spike who speaks.

"It seems that he could, but not without much difficulty, when he tried to pronounce our names, although they did not resemble each other, he was close to doing so, but it was noticeable that his voice did not come out naturally and forced much to make the sounds.

Twilight was thoughtful for a moment while she had her helmet moving slightly from side to side over all the information, her pen that took with her magic writing down on a parchment what she said, all the others got the idea of what was happening with this being.

"Well, with everything you've said, we're in the presence of a being of completely mysterious origin, there's no way we can speak his language, and his difficulty speaking ours won't be easy, with the addition that Spike is only partially the only one who could try, but as for his intentions, it is clear that he does not seem to show signs of evil at least, but he is cautious of possible contact, besides that we know that he is in the castle of the two sisters," Twilight said reflectively.

"It wouldn't be convenient to give him a welcome party so that he can get to know everyone, so he doesn't feel alone," Pinkie said with her characteristic speed.

"Pinkie darling, given his way of being, perhaps the best way to get closer to him, it's more quietly," Rarity said.

Pinkie thinks about it for a moment a calmer approach comes to mind.

"In that case a secret party, just between the seven of us and him, is fine, but when the time comes it will be a party where we will invite everyone," she said with a smile at the end of the last one.

"But first we must send a letter to the princess about our meeting and perhaps wait for our next course of action. She turns to look at Spike.

Before she asks for it, she already has a sheet of paper ready, Twilight begins to write the letter she will send to Princess Celestia.

In Canterlot Princess Celestia is in her private quarters while working on some bureaucratic documents, a few moments ago she left a meeting with her ministers that at least turned out a little more fruitful than other occasions, but it does not take away from the fact that sometimes they are somewhat tedious to have to deal with constantly. Soon he sees a green flame materialize in a scroll, she smiles, unrolls the parchment for a moment she sees that a photograph falls on the ground, she lifts it with his telekinesis, but he does not see the image as he puts it behind the parchment.

They begin to read the content with each word they do, they begin to be surprised, they have just possibly met a species of unknown origin, they have no way of communicating, the difference is not only one of language but also a possible biological difference. It didn't seem that his intentions were evil, given the help he provided to Applejack and Spike, but cautious to say the least since apparently he left them there once he saw the presence of the others, the last part of the letter is a postscript that mentions that they send him a photograph of the being, that Pinkie Pie had taken it, but he does not say how he did it, knowing the element of laughter it is possible that by completely unknown means.

Celestia looks at the photograph and cannot believe what she sees, she knows perfectly well that her student does not make this kind of joke, but this was going down a path that would make the coincidences of it happening something unreal and even imaginative. That is exactly the fact that his sister Luna showed her when that poor filly had nightmares, but his true appearance hidden behind a strange armor. Put those thoughts aside and start writing a letter to Twilight, showing that she should wait for instructions, since she must talk about this with Luna and the two royal courts on the matter.

When he finishes, he rolls up the scroll and sends it back to Twilight, gets up from his place and approaches the door to talk to one of her lairs.

"Guards," she said in a soft, but authoritative call.

"If your majesty?" Both guards said in unison.

"I need you to notify the members of the day and night royal court to prepare for an emergency meeting and notify Princess Luna once she wakes up.

"As you order, princess.

One of the guards quickly leaves to give the warning and Celestia goes into her room once again, approaches her carpet once again to lie down again and before finishing the rest of the documentation she needs to do, she takes one last look at the photograph and saves it to use later, this was going to get very long once the Cortes met.

She returns to his work with the documentation he has to finish, she stops to feel the presence of a magic very different from that of all the others, a unique but too familiar, she turns around where the magic comes from to see a certain character who has decided to appear in the form of a pedestal hidden from among his things.

"Good afternoon, Discord," she said politely.

"What an interesting thing has been put in these, to have to call all the most important of Equestria including those who are only snobs. While floating in a pink cloud lazily over Celestia, while drinking a glass of chocolate milk.

"The situation ended up coming from an interesting finding that Twilight and her friends found, more specifically Applejack and Spike who are the ones who had the first encounter with him. "While she continues focusing on the documents it has to finalize.

"As well as the element of laughter, which somehow manages to take a photograph without noticing," he said with a smile.

Celestia looks through a mirror she has in her room to see that Discord has the photograph in her eagle claw.

"Avoid damaging the image, it is for now the only one we have on him," he said gently.

Discord snaps it back to where he found it.

"At least one interesting thing is going to happen these days, I wonder what Luna reaction will be. It is exactly like that picture," he said with interest in the picture.

"You may be very surprised that it wasn't the figment of a filly's imagination, but that part isn't as interesting as knowing how I got into Luna's domain?" She said with a hint of curiosity.

Discord starts to think a little about that question that Celestia asked while grabbing and lowering his beard, an interesting question came to him.

"Something tells me that his entry into Luna's domain was more the exception than the norm," he said with a smile at the idea he has.

Celestia looks at him curiously.

"What reasons could you have to consider it?

"Now that the being that came from dreams is real, it could come with its own peculiarity," he said with a smile and floats to Celestia's vicinity.

She thinks for a moment about his words, to see what it is about.

"Luna hasn't found it, but achieving something like this is only possible if the user has a strong magical control to hide in the dream world or..." "She comes to the realization of the second option.

"That just makes it something that we could say is unique and completely different from anything that has ever been seen," he said with emotion in his voice.

"But that would go against all logic, every being and even thing in this world has a magical essence that makes them what they are," she said reasoning in the face of such a thing.

Discord smile.

"What is sometimes called logic in the face of our own observations, can become illogical to others who see different things," he said cryptically in his words.

"A being from another world or even from another reality," she said reflectively.

"That is a question that sooner or later you will have to solve, like the enigma of how things work in their own reality." He floats in front of Celestia while watching her eyes waiting for an answer.

Celestia understood his words if it is true what he supposes or supposes, it will be quite an experience in understanding the functioning of things of this being, but it gives Discord a smile.

"It's going to be an interesting experience to talk to the being and understand the workings of its world as it does to make it understand ours, but it's even possible that your own form of chaos is as strange or even more illogical than what we do," she said with a slightly conceited smile.

Discord just snorted and gives him a look of defiance with a smile.

"We'll see when that day comes," he said with a smile.

Soon Discord disappeared from Celestia's chambers leaving her alone once again, she gives a long sigh at least she could let her for moments not have to deal with bureaucratic work again, but eventually she had to do it again once again she refocused on her work.

Faltrun had explored part of the cliff that was there, but since there was not much more to explore, he goes back to the castle, in a sense he whistled without being heard from outside his armor, it is just a song of his people, too bad he could not keep a repertoire to listen to them. He arrives at the outskirts of the castle and goes inside to approach the south side where the bridge was, well he no longer has as such an access to the outside the way of the river, it is better that he would leave it for now, he decides to focus on something else, there is still a certain void of information that he needs, he hoped that the library of this castle was still intact.

He gets a little into the different corridors that are in the castle, avoids the traps that there are, it takes him some time due to the lack of reference for the unexplored parts of the castle as well as a record of the traps, after a few moments of exploration he finally arrives at the castle library. To his surprise a huge amount of these are kept on its shelves with the exception of one or another that has fallen out of place, for the final test all of those with care given the delicacy it has for the passage of time, the inside of the book was still preserved quite well and the leaves are still maintained.

He sees the writings inside and these are made with pen and ink without the use of a printing press, it was not yet listed as those who do not have wings or horn could write without the use of those, before starting to analyze the letters and try to start deciphering the letters, notice that on this page he has drawings. They are not the explanatory type rather it had a rather funnier theme, for some strange reason it is a kind of knight fighting with some kind of snail, he turns to the next page for a strange hybrid of them with other creatures of very curious and even funny shapes, when he turns the next page, he has to hold back his laughter.

"That kind of mood never changes," he said gracefully at the type of drawing.

It's one of them that has a kind of air instrument that is placed right on his butt, it's been a long time since he had a sincere laugh for something so absurd but at the same time it's strangely so familiar, but he has to put it aside for the moment and goes for the first page of the book. He takes out the small sphere and starts doing analysis of the letters, this work is going to be an exceptionally long one for himself.

Several hours pass and soon the last lights of the day begin to hide on the horizon, Faltrun finishes the decoding work for the moment, gets up from his place and stretches a little until he feels the vertebrae of his back crack along with other joints, he walks to the exit of the library and goes once again to his camping place.

At Canterlot Castle when Princess Luna had woken up, she had received the memo of an emergency meeting from her sister, before that she was going to meet her in the solarium since it was time to raise her moon and make way for the night. Soon he finds himself in the solarium and sees his dear sister Celestia who is waiting for him while she gives him a smile that returns it and stands next to him.

"Ready Lulu's."

Luna aims at them with a sound.

"Ready Tia."

Both sisters use their magic, Celestia hides the sun king on the horizon hiding its light, Luna raises the quicksilver moon to rise in the night sky accompanied by the infinity of stars. With their homework done, both sisters give a small smile at the arrival and departure of their respective stars and go to the meeting room.

"Sister, you have summoned us for an emergency matter, what is the reason?" Luna said seriously.

"The elements of harmony, namely Spike and Applejack, have come into contact with a being of unknown origin during their time in the Everfree Forest," she said with a serious countenance in the matter.

"We imagine that he had no bad intentions.

Celestia smiles.

"That's right, especially Applejack who had been injured in one of his legs.

"But it does not mean that any suspicion of his intentions is ruled out.

"Yes, the information Twilight gave is interesting, he has no knowledge of our language.

Luna reflects.

"A communication problem, this will not be easy at all, and it will take a long time to learn our language and his.

"There is an additional problem, apparently the language he has is an unpronounceable one, not the sense of his words, but in the ability to make sounds, the peculiar thing is that Spike seems to be the only one who could come close to saying something, but without a great difficulty in doing so and in making mistakes."

Luna looks at him curiously.

"You mean that there is no natural way to say their sounds? "Think for a few moments. "It's possible because we have a biological form that differentiates, that also means he could have the same problem when trying to speak in ours."

"And it's only going to get even worse." Celestia shows the photograph that she had sent to her.

Luna takes it and when she sees it, she is completely surprised.

"It's not possible." Look more closely at the image.

"It's exactly like that strange nightmare you showed us.

"But how?" Luna was trying to find a logical answer to this, especially how he managed to access that filly's dream. Reach a conclusion. "He's not a being of this world, it's possible that he was from beyond what we think," Luna said in surprise.

"It's a conclusion that Discord and I also came to a similar conclusion.

Luna upon hearing the name Discord turns to look at Celestia.

"Discord?" She said doubtfully.

"A few hours ago, Discord came to my room, and it seems that he is much more attentive to events than I would expect.

"Okay then the idea that he doesn't know of this world comes from Discord.

"We didn't come to that conclusion because of his appearance, but rather because of another question, just as you had doubts about how she had come to that filly's dreams without you noticing?

"The chances of something like this happening are that he was a very powerful magic user, hiding his presence in the dream world or he is someone who has no magic at all in his own being.

"That is exactly the conclusion we had reached.

Luna thinks of one more thing: there is a third way.

"There may be another way, a different one, even in the strangeness of things everything has an essence that makes them part of themselves, it may be that in the end it is not magic that defines it, but something from which it comes that distinguishes it from everything else.

Celestia thinks about it for a moment.

"It's possible, but it's imperceptible to you, but trying to get to that form would be much more complicated, especially if you're someone who hides your true nature.

"But then we shall have to find out whether his actions are good or bad for us all." Both sisters arrive at the meeting room watched by both the day guard and the night guard.

"In that case, let's start with the first step."

Both sisters arrive at the meeting room and the doors open, where the members of the two royal courts are present.
