Applejack and Scaleblade's family arrived at Lakeview manor. It was late, Scaleblade and Fire Eye were tucking Sundered Flesh and Sweet-Sword into bed. Applejack was sitting on the back porch looking at the two moons that decorated the sky. The way the lake reflected them almost perfectly.

        "Beautiful ain't it." Scaleblade commented, startling Applejack.

        "Whoa! You scared me!" Applejack replied, now turning to see Scaleblade. He wasn't wearing his regular outfit (save for his small crown), rather some blue robes. The robes had a very prominent red and gold pattern running down the front. In the middle of the pattern was what seemed to be a dragon in a diamond shape. "Where did ya get that? Looks fancy."

        "Off the dead body of the last Emporer. I got another one if you like it!" Scaleblade announced.

        "Um... No thanks," Applejack refused "So two moons? Ah must be pretty far from home then."

        "Hmmm... Well, I'm sure you'll get home someday," Scaleblade added "Until then your part of my crew!"

        "So when do Ah get..."

        A large shriek interrupted Applejack as it tore throughout the sky. "What was that?" Applejack asked worriedly. The sound plagued the air once more. "Scale," he just replied with a comforting smile. Then a huge quake knocked both Applejack and Scaleblade over.

        Applejack could feel and hear heavy breathing on her back. Slowly Applejack got up and turned around. She was greeted with a red, scaly face. "Mortal. I require a private audience with the Dovahkiin. Remove yourself." His voice was powerful.

        "Odahviing, it's okay Applejack is cool." Scaleblade said.

        "Right. When did you meet her?" Odahviing asked.

        "Two days ago." Scaleblade muttered.

        "That's what I thought. By Akatosh, I bet if you didn't know Alduin was evil you'd be his best friend in ten seconds flat," Odahviing added "Now Paarthunax may just be overreacting, but he thinks he found something that requires you to see."

        "Okay. I'll be there soon," Scaleblade announced as Odahviing left. He then opened his mouth to reveal the same sort of magical orb that Sweet uepsed to summon a sword the day before. "Alright Applejack, wanna go see what Paarthunax is crying about?"

        "Okay." Applejack watched as the orb move form his mouth to the deck. It expanded to about the size of the two. Then they entered the orb. When she did Applejack felt as light as air. But as soon as it started, she could feel her weight once more. Not long after did the orb dissipate into nothingness.

        Applejack was now in a small area, there was an odd wall to the left. It all seemed to be on a mountain top. There was one thing Applejack noticed imidiatly, a few meters in front of her was a small, purple scaled creature with a green under belly.

        "Spike?"

        -South of Bravil-

        Fluttershy had been traveling for quite a few days now. Her animal friends helped with gathering food and water for her, as well as get clothing for her as the nights were very cold. She didnt know why but she felt something in her mind telling her to go in this direction.

        The sun was about to set so she thought now would be a good time to set up camp. She set up her tent and crawled inside. She thought of how much she missed her friends as she fell asleep.

        -Fluttershy's Dream-

        Fluttershy appeared in the middle of the room. It seemed to be a palace of some sort. At the other end was an odd creature wearing clothing on most of his body. He seemed to be mostly hairless save for his mane. He was in Flutterhys dreams for the past couple of nights although they took place in different locations. However this on Eva's different, Fluttershyheard his voice.

        He was humming a very happy and uplifting song that sounded familiar but Flutterhsy couldn't place a name on it. It was beautiful but something about it made the man seem more devious. He knew something that might be able to help Fluttershy find her friends but what was it? What did he know?

        Like all past dreams of Flutterhsys he didn't seem to notice her even though they were the only two in the room. Fluttershy didn't like the feeling he was giving off. His knowledge that might help her, his red and purple clothing and his plain ignorance of being in her presence. Another creature entered the room, this one seemed to be a servant of some sort, handing a treat to the first creature without a word, then he left.

        He returned to humming the song again. Fluttershy still didn't reconize it. Then he opened his mouth and the very words of the song shocked Flutterhsy, she instantly remembered where she heard it.

        "Come on everypony, smile smile smile. Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile," he paused for a second to take a breath "FROM ALL THESE HAPPY FRIENDS OF MINE! Oh yes!"

        And with the end of his version of Pinkies song, Flutterhy was back in her tent. It seemed to be morning time as there was light shining through the fabric of the tent so Flutterhy undid the door flap and got out. Yawning and stretching, Flutterhys eyes weren't focused enough to see well. But when they did focus she went completely silent. There, a meter away from her was a tall hairless creature, with clothing colored red and purple.

        "HELOOOOOO FLUTTERHSY!" He hollered although he was right in her face.

        -High Hrothgar-

        Spike was just waking up. He felt as if he had been hit on the head with a boulder and fell asleep for a thousand years. He rubbed his eyes allowing them to focus. He saw four beins staring right at him. One he recognized imidiatly.

         "Applejack?" He was unsure of what happened, first he ws in the library now he's in some weird snowy place.

         "Spike! Oh Ah'm so darn happy Ah found you!" Applejack ran up to him bringin him in a tight hug.

         "What happened? Where are we?" He asked "Where are the rest of the girls?"

         "You, young Dovah, are in my den, atop High Hrothgar. As for what happened and where your friends are I am clueless." Paarthunax Stated.

         "Ah was sort of hoping you'd know where they are." Applejack announced.

         "Wait, so you two know each other?" Scaleblade asked, while being replied with two nods "Hah! What are the odds!"

         "What shall we do now?" Odahviing asked.

         "I shall teach this young Dovah in the way of the thu'um as he seems to... not understand. You must help the Dovahkiin and this mortal find their friends. They are the keys he sent us and must be present," Paarthunax explained as Applejack, Scaleblade and Odahviing took off "So Father, you wish to visit the mortal plane? So be it. After all I am not one to question the god of time."
