"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

Lightning slowly starts coming to. The first thing he noticed was he was laying on his stomach on a bed. "Hello? Anypony there?" He called out to the room. He noticed that his throat felt dry and so he coughs from it.

He heard somepony clear their throat. Turning his head Lightning sees Rainbow Dash, not looking too happy. "Uh, hi Rainbow." Lightning says.

Rainbow looks at him stark raving mad. "You bucking IDIOT!" She yells in front of him.

"Why do you say that?" Lightning asks trying to seem innocent.

Rainbow slams a hoof right by his head. "You went off to kill a monster all by yourself, not even taking Nikolai along to help! What's more is that you became so injured that Twilight had to put you into a coma for a few days." Rainbow vented. "And most importantly..." She leans in. "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU COULD USE MAGIC!" Rainbow yells in Lightning's ear.

'Oh no.' Lightning thinks. He sighs and turns away from her. "I didn't want to cause too much of a ruckus. I only use it and the most noticeable kinds in an emergency." He explains.

Rainbow didn't look happy and the glare she wore was starting to make him sweat. 'She's got a worse glare then my sister.' Lightning thinks starting to get more and more afraid of his marefriend.

Lightning gets surprised as he sees tears falling down Rainbow's face. "You idiot." She whispered.

Looking closer Lightning noticed bags below her eyes. "Rainbow how long have you been sitting in that chair?" Lightning asks seriously.

Rainbow moves the hoof on the bed to his hoof. "Since you were placed here." She said to him quietly.

"Rainbow come here." Lightning says softly.

Rainbow lifts her head up to look at him and gets off to chair to get closer. Lightning brings his front leg up and uses it to hug Rainbow the best he could as he brought her closer to himself. "I was worried the whole time I was here and they brought you in. It was the scariest thing, not seeing you wake up." Rainbow said to him.

"Rainbow everything is okay. I'm awake now aren't I?" Lightning says.

Rainbow looks over him, seeing all the bandages and splints. "Yeah, I guess you are."

"So how long have I been asleep?" Lightning asks.

Rainbow looks to the clock as if it was the calendar. "About three days."

"Ah, that explains the stiffness. Wait, who else know I'm in here?" Lightning asks a thoughtful look on his face.

Rainbow looks up at the ceiling finding it very interesting suddenly. "Hurricane and that's about it."

"Rainbow I know you're telling me the truth when you avoid eye contact, who else?" Lightning asks.

Rainbow sighs and looks at him. "Hurricane sent a letter to Spitfire." She said ashamed.

"Ok that's all I need to know." Lightning says starting to get up. Lightning then freezes as his brain processed the last name. "WAIT WHAT?!" He screams.

Lightning frantically starts to try again to get up but Rainbow tries to restrain him and keep him on the bed because he has yet to recover.

"Stay down. You haven't healed yet." She struggled.

"I can take that because I rather be injured then dead after Spitfire gets here." Lightning says as it soon he started struggling worse.

Rainbow struggled until she feels a cold feeling through her. "Let me try this." She hears.

Lightning immediately freezes in fear and slowly turns his head to see...

"You really are like Razor aren't you?" Hurricane said to him, looking over the shoulder of Rainbow.

"Oh thank goodness you not..." Lightning stops as soon a new mare enters.

"Hello brother." Spitfire says.

Lightning screams in terror before flopping onto the floor and tries to crawl away from everypony. Lightning almost made it to the window to jump out of it but Spitfire stomped on his tail keeping him in place. Lightning hits the ground hard, making him oomph. For a few seconds Lightning tried to scurry away but go nowhere. "Can any of you mares go easy?" Lightning asks chuckling.

"Spitfire maybe you should go easy..." Rainbow stopped when Spitfire leveled a glare at her.

"Help me." Lightning whispered, fear evident in his eyes.

Rainbow and Hurricane looks at each other before turning back to Lightning. "No." They both said.

Hurricane then gets closer and right in his face. "You need to learn your mistakes."

"I think the hole in my back took care of that lesson." Lightning says. Causing Rainbow's eyes to widen. "He has a point Spitfire, if you punish him now his wounds will open back up." Rainbow says worried

Spitfire tightened her glare. "He had worse." She shot back.

"A hole through his back that almost hit his spine?" Rainbow asks glaring at a now nervous Spitfire.

Spitfire looks at Rainbow for a few seconds before sighing and letting go of his tail. "I guess that is bigger." She said quietly, almost to the point where anypony can barely hear it.

"D-d-d-did you j-j-j-just back d-own-own-own-own?" Lightning stuttered and shocked.

"Oh, she's a keeper." Hurricane says floating by.

Spitfire nods slowly. "I guess I have been more protective of you since the accident, sorry."

"No you're the same as when I was a foal." Lightning says before getting bopped on the head by Spitfire.

Spitfire turns around after that to cover up the blush. "Shut up."

"Love you too." Lightning says before being bopped on the head again.

This came curiosity of Hurricane. "What did she just say?" She said like a mother.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Twilight wanted to talk to you about the magic you used and..." Rainbow starts glaring at thin air. "Discord is staying with Fluttershy again." Rainbow finishes.

Lightning looks confused. "What's so bad about that? He's turned good...didn't he?"

"I don't like or trust him after our first encounter." Rainbow says, continuing to glare.

Lightning sighs and tries to get up. "Rainbow, you have to accept some things and this includes Discord. Even you know that."

"How do you even know about Discord?" Rainbow asks.

"Uhh...Spitfire told me the story about him when I was a foul." Lightning said hastily.

'Did I?' Spitfire thinks trying to remember.

Rainbow nods. "That makes sense." She then glares at him. "You were in Stalliongrad. Tell the truth."

"I was about 7 when that happen. I remember Spitfire told me about it after she visited the royal garden in Canterlot." Lightning says as Spitfire face shows remembrance of this.

Spitfire nods as she agrees. "Yes, it's all coming back to me now. If I remember correctly you were very curious about him."

"Oh ok, sorry." Rainbow says.

'That was too close she is really suspicious of me and now she knows I can use magic.' Lightning thinks.

"Well since you're awake and have enough energy to move around like that you're coming with me." Rainbow says before starting to drag Lightning off by the tail towards Twilight's house.

Lightning waves goodbye to Hurricane and Spitfire as he is dragged away from them. "See ya later you two." Lighting cheerily said. 'At least I don't have to put up with them any longer.'

"See you both at dinner." Rainbow yells to them.

Hurricane raises an eyebrow as they leave them. "Too much like Razor." She commented, before turning to Spitfire. "So let's work on getting you a stallion." Hurricane says, making Spitfire blush heavily and ready to leave with her own version of a Sonic Rainboom called a Fire Rainboom if that's possible.

Lightning looks around as the ponies of town are looking at him like he has grown a second head. "You should really lose more weight." Rainbow struggled out as she drags him across the road.

"You guys told everyone I can use magic didn't you?" Lightning asks suspiciously.

Rainbow shakes her head as she lifted Lightning to his hooves. "Only Twilight." She answered.

"She seriously need to learn how to keep a secret." Lightning says starting to walk.

Rainbow shakes her head more. "She can't even keep a Pinkie Promise once when Spike asks her to."

"I don't think I want to know." Lightning says as they reach the library.

They reach the front of the library as a book with stick arms and legs came dancing out, leaving the two confused and scared. "Let me guess Discord?" Lightning asks.

"Discord stop!" Twilight yelled from inside.

"Yep." Lightning says as Rainbow charges through the door.

They both get inside to find Discord snapping his claws, changing everything to his end and only Fluttershy is playing along.

"Rainbow, Lightning help me here." Twilight says

Before anypony could do anything Discord snaps his claws making everything back to normal. "There." He said.

"Rainbow don't attack." Lightning says stopping Rainbow.

"Forget it, he's dead meat!" She yelled as she charged him. Taking a lesson from Spitfire, he stomps on Rainbow's tail stopping her. Rainbow looks back at him, glaring. "What's that for?! Discord is messing everything up and Fluttershy is doing nothing."

"Rainbow Discord is a spirit of chaos you can't engage something like that head on and besides he only does what he does for fun isn't that right?" Lightning asked

Discord is randomly picking his ear with his clawed paw holding one of his nails that grew back from another paw. "I'm sorry, I'm busy." He said absentmindedly.

"Anyways if he did anything to you..." Lightning pauses and goes up to Discord and grabs his goat beard pulling him down to eye level and giving Discord a glare that actually scared him for a second. "I would break him so badly even his magic wouldn't be able to fix him." Lightning threatens.

Discord drops what he's doing, which a large claw is smashing onto the library floor, destroying the area. "Right." Discord said unconvincingly as he raises a claw. "I would never hurt anypony at all." He promised as he crossed his claws behind his back.

Lightning takes a hold of one of Discord's fang and rips it out of his mouth, causing Discord to yell in pain. "That hurt! That hurt?" Discord asked greatly confused. Discord snaps his claws making mirror appear before him. He examines his fangs and sees that none of his teeth were ripped out. "How...?" He started.

"Besides I know someone better at chaos magic." Lightning says baiting Discord.

Discord snaps a newspaper from Ponyville Press. He flips through it as calm as ever. "I don't see any other chaos bringer in here." He then throws the paper behind him, making them change, in a cloud of smoke, into paper butterflies. And now Fluttershy is fawning over the new creatures. "Pretty." She whispered.

"I never said she was on this side of the world." Lightning says.

Everypony and draconic freezes as they hear the pronoun. "Hang on a moment." Discord said after a few seconds. He snaps into existence a glass of water and drinks the glass and throws the still holding water behind him, making an explosion that sends a few papers flying. He then does a spit take that sent a tidal wave after everypony and sends them washing away to the other side of the room.

"Are you so surprised that there are more or that the one I think is better than you a female?" Lightning asks.

Discord shakes his side to side once. "No, I just can't believe that she didn't search me out. Come on, I'm a catch. Even Celestia is starting to fall in love with all this." He exemplifies this by flexing his arms and tries to make an arm muscles flex out, but only makes such a weak arm muscle show that it flops down limply and just swings there.

"She's married and has three kids." Lightning says.

Discord goes wide eyes and then snaps a crying version of himself in a fetal position, holding a blank picture, but it turns out to be a viewing screen. "That would be me, if I was desperate." He then snaps the viewer away.

Lightning pulls out a newspaper on the front page was 'Wanted female chaos magic user for a good time.' Under it was a picture of Discord winking. "Still want to say that?" Lightning says.

Discord grabs the paper with an extender grabber and throws it into the fireplace. "That's nothing."

"It says you placed the ad." Lightning says.

Rainbow comes up to him and whispers, "Where did you get the paper?"

"I created it with Chaos magic. The one I mentioned was a teacher of mine in the art of magic." Lightning whispers back.

Discord snaps a cotton candy cloud and lets it fall chocolate rain. "Three, two, one." Pinkie burst in and starts drinking the chocolate rain. Discord snaps a glass and fills it up with the chocolate, but it fills up in the opposite direction. "Still, how is she? Creating chaos like me, maybe?"

"Mostly teaching is what she is doing, whether it be her kids or students. The number of chaos magic users are increasing Discord." Lightning says.

Discord snaps in a cotton candy cone and swirls the cotton candy cloud onto it. He proceeds to eat as he said, "Well that's disappointing."

"That she is better than you and can actually teach?" Lightning asks.

Discord shakes his head, sending cotton candy everywhere, which Pinkie licks up. "That I'm not unique anymore...or maybe have been unique." He adds as a forethought.

"You are still unique. You're a spirit of chaos, not just another chaos magic user." Lightning clarified.

He snaps a therapist chair in the middle of the room and lies on it. "Still, knowing that there are chaos users around really messes with my head." He shows this by turning his head upside down.

"Well you're not the first chaos user as long there has been magic a species could use there has been some form of Chaos magic." Lightning says

Finally Discord got frustrated. "Can't you see? I'm miserable now, because..."

"Because?" Fluttershy asks.

"I'm not the only one using Chaos magic. I use to love it when I was the only one doing it." Pinkie sets up a therapist chair near him and wears a monocle and a beard on her muzzle and then brings up a notepad and prepares to write.

"Tell me about your mother." Pinkie asks.

Discord lies down on the couch. "Well she was..."

"As fascinating as this is I called Lightning here to talk about his ability to use magic." Twilight says annoyed that her books were destroyed and some pages are on fire and now she has chocolate milk all over the floor and a destroyed floor to buck.

Lightning turns away from the funny show in front of him to see Twilight grabbing every book on foreign magic. "I agree, let's begin."

"Let's go into the basement so we won't be interrupted by them." Twilight says before leading Lightning away with Rainbow following.

They went through the basement door to find the basement littered with science equipment and test tubes of chemicals. Coming to rest on a center table they awaited Twilight to set up her recording equipment. This also included a notepad, a magic meter, an EKG, a hazmat suit, and a decimation chamber.

"So what do you want to know?" Lightning asks a little concerned with all the extra test devices.

Twilight just brings up the notepad. "First do use the magic willingly or it comes out by instinct?"

"I used it willingly." Lightning answered as Twilight started to hook him up to machines. He looks to the devices he's being plugged into. "This won't shock me would it?"

Pinkie pops out from under the table. "Nope." She then goes back under and disappears.

"I swear either she is a chaos magic user or a creature of chaos like Discord." Lightning commented.

Twilight sighs as the memories of that day she went to study Pinkie came flooding back. "I know what you mean, but Pinkie is just that, Pinkie. There is no clear answer to her." She informed as she finished hooking him to everything.

"Furthering my analysis." Lightning added to his last hypothesis.

Twilight proceeds to turn everything on. "Best not to dwell on it. I lit on own mane and tail on fire when I got really frustrated from her Pinkie Sense."

"That is a sign of affiliation to fire." Lightning says.

Twilight shakes her head and shows her wings. "I think I'm on a more celestial magic type."

"Not really, after that outburst a part of your magical nature was revealed to you." Lightning says sounding like a professor.

Twilight looks at him deadpan. "Back off stallion, I'm a scientist." She retorted. "Besides who's the one hooked to the machines?"

"I'm sorry where your degree is?" Lightning asks making Twilight stutter.

Twilight then gasp as she comes up with an answer. "I've been placed here by Celestia because of my extensive studies and knowledgeable areas of all." She answered proudly.

"So where is your degree that says you graduated a magical school and are qualified to give lectures on the advance magical course?" Lightning asks as Twilight goes silent.

"Trophy room." She said simply as she pointed to a door on the side of the lab.

"Must be pretty small then." Rainbow says before laughing.

Twilight glares and opens the door with her magic, blinding everypony in the room with the vast amount of awards and medals won from various areas and competition. "I started winning them since I was four."

"Ok then tell me Twilight what is the basic theory behind elemental magic?" Lightning asks.

Twilight raises a hoof, but then pauses as nothing comes to her. "I...I don't..." She then points accusingly to Lightning who is smirking at her. "You're using the type of magic used across seas aren't you?"

"Somepony give Twilight a prize, you're right, the eastern land have developed magic that anypony can use." Lightning says catching Rainbow's attention.

Twilight huffs and turns to her machines, then comes up with an answer from just the word elemental. "Matter can't be neither created nor destroyed so all magic must follow the basic elemental principle of balance."

"That is a basic principle of all magic, but Elemental magic relies on drawing on the forces of nature itself." Lightning corrected.

Twilight groans with a frustrated face and just gives up. "I give up." She turns on the machines, but 'accidentally' hits a higher voltage setting, shocking Lightning.

Lightning doesn't really react. "Like for me for example I am a natural lightning element user so this really doesn't affect me." Lightning says as Twilight realizes what she did and Rainbow jaw goes slack.

Twilight then goes dead pan and fires an ice spell freezing him in a block of ice. "I was getting tired of his smartflank attitude."

"Cause he knew more than you at something?!" Rainbow yells in her face obviously angry.

Twilight pushes away to give herself some breathing room. "If he was a kind stallion he would have ended this trivial pursuit and stop questioning. Besides I need him still for this first test."

"You better make it fast then Twi cause the ice is already starting to melt." Rainbow says as Twilight notices it too.

Twilight flips a switch and activates one of the machines which then makes the other machines follow in unison. "Come on." She prayed.

The machine starts to spit out readings most didn't really make sense to Twilight. The ice soon starts to melt faster as the machine continues it's scanning of him. The testers finished as the last of the results papers come and the ice finishes melting, leaving an angry Lightning. "What was that for?!" Lightning yells his red eyes bearing down on Twilight who laughs nervously. 'Since when did Lightning learn the stare?' Rainbow thinks.

"Well?" Lightning says angrily

Twilight suddenly brings up a result paper in front of her face as a way to hide. "Oh look, your magic is very much off the charts."

"That's cause your comparing it to just unicorn exclusive magic. Elemental magic gets its power from nature itself meaning what, Twilight?" Lightning asked still mad.

"Um...that your body contains pure nature magic?" Twilight asks.

"Correct as such the amount I can naturally hold is greater than what normal unicorns can hold because it's not reliant on my own energy." Lightning says.

Twilight looks to other test papers. "Your normal day to day functions are the same as ever, heck a little better, almost like a bodybuilder."

"That's mostly from training and a healthy diet." Lightning informs.

She looks to the last paper showing brain waves readings. "Hang on a second..." She takes a closer look as the others lean in too.

"What?" Lightning asks starting to get worried.

Twilight shows them the readings. "It shows that there are two brains types of brain waves instead of one."

"Obviously an error." Lightning says. 'I can't believe she detected that.' Lightning thinks.

Twilight flips the reader again and takes a quick scan. "Not by this it is. This is not an error at all." She then turns back to him. "Let's try a magical scan." She quickly told as she lit up her horn.

Twilight thoroughly scans Lightning but comes up with nothing abnormal. "I don't understand." Twilight says.

"See an error." Lightning says.

Twilight then gasp with an idea. "Maybe because you are naturally resisting it. A simple sleep spell would do." She readies her horn with a knockout spell that places anypony under for a few.

"Oh no you don't I noticed where you scanned for a few extra seconds." Lightning says before running for it leaving a blushing Twilight.

"I was looking at your stomach, not your...that part!" She yells out as Lightning starts flying away at high speed.

Rainbow glares bores into the back of Twilight's head. Twilight feels the glare on her. "What?" She asks annoyed.

Rainbow shakes her head and flies off after Lightning, but not before a message. "Next time, leave personal stuff out of the questioning and don't you dare look at that part again."

"B-but...I" Twilight was trying to form a sentence when Rainbow asks, "By the way how big is he? " Twilight opens her mouth without thinking "There is a saying that for male pegasus, it's all in the wing size." Twilight eyes went wide from what she just said.

Twilight raises a hoof to explain but comes out of her mouth. "Thanks Twi, but once again DON'T ever look him there again or I'll personally rip those wings of yours off and we'll see if you can still be a princess or not." Rainbow warns before going after Lightning.

'This is so Discord's fault.' Twilight thought before she sighs and looks to her large amounts of papers that littered the floor. She then sees the brain wave scan again. "That's something weird, I know it. What are you hiding from us Lightning Bolt?" She said to herself.

After several hours Rainbow managed to find Lightning resting in a tree in the Everfree forest. "You're crazy you know that right?" She asks knowingly.

"Flying at such speeds while still recovering?" Lightning asks laying on the branch with his eyes closed as Rainbow landed gently in front of him.

She shakes her head. "No, everything you're doing and being so close."

"To you or something else?" Lightning asks as she gets closer.

Rainbow smirks as she gets the meaning. "I was going to say the Everfree Forest, but yeah, to me too."

"What can I say, I feel most comfortable here and I can't help getting close to you." Lightning says getting up and walking over to Rainbow.

Rainbow leans onto Lightning when she is finally close enough. "Let's go on a real date, ok Rainbow?" Lightning asks.

Rainbow snuggles close to him. "I'd like that." She whispers.

"Let's go shall we then?" Lightning asks, spreading his wings.

Rainbow takes a look around where they are. "But where and at this hour?"

"It's still dinner time and the pony who own the fancy restaurant in town owes me a favor so just follow me, ok?" Lightning asks.

She looks to the town and tries to see the fancy restaurant buildings. "What happened that made him owe you a favor?"

"Actually it's a she and she had an infestation problem. I missed one Chamiosaurus because she had trapped it in the basement..." Lightning says.

Rainbow gets up off the branch and stretches her wings. "Well if it can be free, that's even better. Let's go." She takes after him as Lighting leads the way.

The night was peaceful as Lightning and Rainbow landed in front of the restaurant. Walking in the front door Lightning greeted the owner. The mare smiled at Lightning and waved and asked the waiter to seat them.

The waiter led Lightning and Rainbow to a table next to the window. He gave them both menus before he headed to the kitchen. "So Rainbow have I ever told you how you're beautiful to me?" Lightning asks.

Rainbow looks up from her menu. "Don't start that kind of stuff. I'm not the kind to listen to all that sappy lovey dovey stuff." She informed.

"I'm just asking Rainbow. Besides I know that and that's a thing about you I love." Lightning says.

She looks back to menu. "Well then to answer the question, no you haven't...much."

"Rainbow what you like to drink?" Lightning asks.

Rainbow looks over the types of drinks they have available, but nothing good for her pops out. "Maybe just water. If I can, a little soda."

"Pick anything you want Rainbow it's all on me." Lightning says.

"Then just a soda for me. I need something to end this night." Rainbow places the menu down and looks around the room. "Surprising that nopony is bothering to take a closer look at us."

"Look around Rainbow." Lightning says. Rainbow looking around saw they were the only ones in the restaurant besides the staff.

She takes more of a look around and tries to find anypony at their tables. "Where is everypony?"

"The restaurant is closing the only reason we are being served is because the owner owes me a favor." Lightning says.

The waiter came back. "Have you made your order?"

After both Lightning and Rainbow ordered they just stared at each other until Lightning spoke. "Listen Rainbow I'm sorry for keeping secrets." Lightning says.

Rainbow shakes her head. "Don't worry about it. That's passed and I can accept anything else that comes my way."

"You're not curious if I have any more secrets?" Lightning asks.

She shakes her head again. "No, I'll get them as they come. Better that way for me."

Lightning stares her in the eyes before a bittersweet smile form on his mouth. "I really know how to pick em. Rainbow is there anything you want to know?" Lightning asks.

"You avoided this question last time. So what was your rank in the Stalliongrad hunters?" Rainbow asks.

Lightning sighs. "You had to remember that. I was rank six when I left the guild. That is the highest rank and there is never more than five members at a time but the requirements for the rank are so great that most consider it the legendary rank." Lightning says.

Rainbow leans back in her chair. "Still crazy that you got this far."

"Yeah I should have been dead a hundred times over but I'm still alive for some reason." Lightning says.

Rainbow smiles lightly. "I meant in ranks, not how many times you're supposed to be dead."

"I said former sixth rank Rainbow I'm no longer a member of the Stalliongrad hunters." Lightning says.

She turns to the kitchen. "I wonder when our meals arrive."

"It's coming now." Lightning says spotting the waiter.

The waiter comes over with two dishes balancing on his hoof. 'And they thought I was ambidextrous.' Rainbow thinks. The dinner proceeded with no words as both pegasus just ate and looked at one another. After finishing and Lightning paying they left the restaurant. Eventually they found themselves on a cloud over looking Ponyville.

"Rainbow..." Lightning started.

She turns to the stallion beside her. "Yes."

Lightning sighs and turns to her. "What do you really think of me, like truly?"

"I think you're a wonderful stallion who is more than willing to put your life on the line for others even if you're a little hard headed and keep a few too many secrets about your past." Rainbow says moving closer to Lightning.

Lightning looks down to his forelegs. "That's...good. I appreciate that you think of me that way."

"I'm also happy to call myself your marefriend." Rainbow says leaning on Lightning being careful to avoid his injuries.

"Rainbow there is something I want to do with you right now." Lightning says.

Rainbow turns to look at him wide eyed. "Uh...if you're suggesting what I think you're suggesting then you might want to wait."

"Not that Rainbow, this." Lightning says before kissing Rainbow. Rainbow becomes wide eyed and shocked before falling into the kiss quickly and leans into him more. A little ways away Twilight sees this and smiles before turning away and flying off. They both release their kiss and become mesmerized in each other's eyes.

"Rainbow, I love you." Lightning simply said.

"I love you too." She said back before kissing him again.

Canterlot Castle

A guard approached both Princess Celestia and Luna. "Your majesties." The guard says.

They both look over from the mountains of paperwork, literally by the way, in front of them. "Yes?" Celestia asks.

"We have received a letter from the federation." The guard says bringing out the letter.

They send the piles of paperwork away to the side of the room as they grab the letter with their magic.

Dear Princess Celestia and Luna,

The Federation has received your letter and has decided to send a few representatives to see if you are truly serious in forming an alliance with us. I hope you understand why we are doing this seeing as the empire has shown signs of unrest and preparation for war. Queen Eclipse of Saddle Arabia herself has volunteer to come herself for this important meeting.

Signed High King Ulfric of Stalliongrad.

Both the princesses look at each other as the message came to mind. "You are sure that we have to do this?" Luna asks her sister.

"Undoubtedly. It's no secret the Empire has always wanted to take over Equestria and with their unknown magic and armies that outnumber our entire population many times over. We must have allies." Celestia answers. Luna nods and turns back to the mountains of paperwork they have left. "I am surprised that High King Ulfric of Stalliongrad replied personally though." Celestia added as a forethought.
