A being of fire will come Into this land, be careful of the price to pay if a loved is taken away.

For it will become a monster and destroy all until it finds what its lost.

But if the sky is red as blood, it will stay that way destroying everything in its path with its empty eyes.

"That's what the tablet says. I wrote this because of how the stars were using symbols to explain something. I had no idea what it might be, but I wrote down what the star were trying to say." Solar says giving back the tablet to Princess Celestia

The tablet hovered infront of Celestia, she didn't say anything as she went to put it back.

"Well, we will need a plan to get whoever he lost back. Who was it and how was she taken?"

"It's Princess Luna...Princess Celestia's sister. She was taken by a large rock creature that looks similar to you." Twilight says to Solar

"What?! No one is allowed up here! It's forbidden! What did it look like?" Solar says with a slight worried pitch

"Well, it had a bandana." Rainbow says

"It had weird orange eyes!" Pinkie says jumping on top of Solar's head

"It had one large arm and a little one." Applejack says

"It had a broken spike on it's back..." Twilight says

Solar put his hand up saying "I've heard enough. The creature you saw was from my kingdom. A Thief to be precise."

"A thief?! What would a kingdom do with thieves?" Rainbow says flying upwards a little.

"I used them to gather information, and to scout areas so that they're safe enough to live at." Solar says looking at Rainbow

"So YOU sent it then?!" Rarity says stepping forward a little, slight anger in her eyes

"No! Not at any cost! It's forbidden for even me to be here. I'm here just to help you with that tablet legend. But that thief had orange eyes, meaning that they're not working for me any longer."

"Well, we should stop talking and you should go rescue my sister!" Celestia says coming back into the throne room.

"Ah! Yes I almost forgot getting caught up in the moment. Now then, I will need a group to go with me to have a better chance of finding her. We will need to get you to my temple first to place a spell so you won't suffer from the heat. A group also needs to stay here, so that they can trap the monster turned friend. Who is willing to come along with me, and who is willing to trap the beast?" Solar says standing tall, arms behind his back, looking at everyone in the eye.

Rainbow stepped up, as well Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie. Fluttershy....didn't move.

Twilight then said "I'll stay here with Princess Celestia and Shining so that we can try and....trap him..." her voice got quiet at the end

Solar looks at Fluttershy "And what about you?"

Fluttershy just responded with a frightened look, and fell over still in the same position as before.

"....well I think we lost her." Solar says walking back to the hole he came from

Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie followed Solar, he then jumps down and shortly a loud thud was heard. They we're about to jump when Solar said "Hang on! I need to put my hand on the hole do you won't hurt yourselves coming down here!"

A few seconds later another loud thud was heard at the hole.

"You can hop onto my hand now, I'll lower you down. And don't be surprised at my size." Solar says

They were all confused and proceeded to jump down into the hole, stopping only a few seconds later on hard rock. The rock then moved and everyone balanced themselves. They finally stop a few minutes later in a burning hot room, hot enough to make you fall to your knees. The room was dark with a light showing through an large hole in the wall.

They passed through the hole, still on the hard rock, and couldn't believe their eyes. There was an endless landscape of rock and magma as far as the eye can see, many of the pillars seemed to be houses or hotels of the sort, the magma was gathered at specific areas like water that gathers on Equestria, and there was thousands of creatures that looked similar to Solar but different all the same.

They looked around to see if they could find Solar and when Applejack looked up she nearly bucked Rarity clean off the platform. For above them was the upper body of Solar, the platform was his hand, and he just smiled down as he walks towards a large pyramid like structure.

"S-Solar?!" Rainbow yells

"Hm?" Solar boomed with his huge voice

"Holy cheese that mashed with a juice to make a drink that's no good!! YOU'RE HUGE!!!" Pinkie exclaims, falling on her back

Solar chuckles and says "This is my true size, nearly twenty times larger than you. I don't go into this size unless I have be somewhere at a certain time. I mostly just stay the same size at everyone else down here." he sways his open hand infront of him as if showing the land.

They continued through the land to the large pyramid structure over what seems miles away, the group was laying down from the heat of the cave, sweating profoundly.

Meanwhile, Celestia and the others were planning on how to trap Avery in a certain way, without making him escape.

"Well we know that just tackling him down and keeping him there is impossible, regular magic won't work, and that he has increased power and speed....Solar said that the Elements might help trap him, but in what way?" Twilight says walking in a circle

"I won't be able to bring all the guards on him since he may accidentally kill them....What if there was a way to show him that Luna is still here with us, like a spell or something?" Shining says standing by Celestia

"That might work....but if he finds out it's fake then he'll attack us." Celestia says with a worried tone

"Well we have to at least try and find some way to block that anger of his for a little bit as they try and find Luna"

"Block...block, BLOCK! A SHIELD! The Elements could possibly make a shield for him to be stuck in! Giving us enough time to get Luna to him!" Twilight says turning to Shining and Celestia

"Hey YEAH! We could use the illusion spell to have him go to a safe location, and if he finds out that it's a fake then we use the Elements!" Shining says happily

"Yes, that could work. Let me go get the Elements and then we can go." Celestia says walking away

Shining rubbed Twilight's head saying "That's my sis! Always figuring out what to do!"

Twilight giggled and hugged Shining. There was a faint demonic roar heard, coming from Ponyville. Twilight walked over to an open window and looked outside.

"I don't like the sound of that..."

"And I don't like the way the sky looks." Shining says looking at the sky.

The sky was mixed of blue and red, the red slowly taking over the blue.

"I hope we enough time..." Twilight says worryingly
