Lost

Days had now passed since Aurora Borealis met Crystal Ruby in that forest, and now they were both on a train to The Crystal Empire. As much as Aurora thought that Ruby bringing her to The Crystal Empire was the best idea, she couldn't help but worry. While The Empire provided her a place to stay, it still didn't guarantee she'd find her sister's or her bringing back her lost memories. While she had grown more aware than she was when she was freed, she still could not remember her life before Limbo. When she thought back to her life before Limbo she remembered the memories of her sisters slowly slip away. Close to the beginning she always thought about her sisters, but her memories slipped away leaving her to hardly even exist. But she could not bring herself to tell Ruby the extent of what happened.

As the train pulled up to the train station Ruby jumped up from the bench. “WE HERE!” The pegasus shouted, with her voice sounding full of excitement. “My house is close to the outskirts so we won’t need to go anywhere near the palace and risk the princess seeing you.”

All Aurora answered with was a nod of her head, as they both left the train. She couldn't believe the amount of ponies that surrounded the train station, it was more ponies than she had ever seen in the one place in her life. "Aurora She slowly glanced around at an all the different ponies, unaware Ruby was still speaking, and the buildings inside the empire. She found the way the everything in The Empire was designed mesmerising, part of her felt like she'd be happy if she lived here. "Aurora, Aurora, AURORA!"

"Oh sorry." Aurora replied awkwardly, as she glanced towards the pegasus with an apologetic look across her face.

Ruby quickly left her house with Aurora left there, she decided the it would be best to speak to Sunburst sooner rather than later so she can create a game plan before Thursday - today was Monday - when the Equestria games starts on Thursday all four of the known alicorn princesses will be in The Crystal Empire, and knowing how Aurora doesn't want anyone meant she didn't have much choice for a plan.

As Ruby walked up to Sunburst's front door she reached her hoof out and knocked on the door.

Knock! Knock

"Come in!" A voice shouted from inside the house while an orange glow opened the door. "Is everything okay?"

"How likely is it that there could be unknown alicorns who are not princesses living in Equestria." She quietly asked as Sunburst raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Just interested."

"Okay well, It's not impossible..." Sunburst began to explain as Ruby stared at him focusing on what he said. "There's a legend of an ancient alicorn civilisation just outside of Equestria, and when the civilisation was attacked a few young filies escaped. But no pony ever agreed whether there was just the two of them or three. But that was like three thousand years ago, it's hard to know what happened and what didn't happen. If there was three Alicorn's the third most likely died along time ago."

"What happened to the other two?" Ruby asked with tears forming in her eyes.

"It's said that they became the rulers of Equestria."

"PRINCESS CELESTIA AND LUNA!?" She shouted, causing Sunburst to flinch.

"Yes," He quietly replied, as Ruby quickly sat up.

"I should probably go..." The pegasus said as she flapped her wings and quickly dashed out of the door

"That totally wasn't strange..."

Princess Twilight Sparkle slowly walked through what felt like near endless hallways of Canterlot Castle. Thinking back to when she and her friends freed Starswirl The Bearded and The five Pillars from limbo, but also Stygian The Pony of Shadow's who had escaped and now was somewhere in Equestria.

All she could do now was tell the Princesses about her mistake.

As she walked towards the doors of the throne room she taken a breath in to try and calm herself down. Once the guards opened the door she quietly walked up to the two Princesses. "Twilight, Is everything alright?' Princess Celestia asked, noticing the concerned and guilty look across her face.

"I have good news but also bad news," She began, as she lowered her head in shame. "I sort of freed Starswirl The Bearded... But also The Pony Of Shadows. Ponies really need to keep the myths and legends accurate, although then they wouldn't be myths and legends. Please don't lock me up in Tartarus. I can fix it!"

Celestia and Luna both stared at her with a blank expression across their face trying to process what Twilight had just said to the. "Why would we lock you up in Tartarus?" Celestia asked with a confused look across her face.

"Because I accidentally freed a monster from Limbo..."

"While The Pony Of Shadows being freed isn't good, You managed to figure out where Starswirl The Bearded and the other Pillars were and free them." The princess explained, with a smile across her face. "Now all we need to do is keep an eye on where the pony of shadows is, and transform them back into a pony. It's okay."
