"Do you need me to get Gandore sister?"
"Yes Luna. She can make more sense of it than I can. Shadow are you aware of the magic you posses.?"
"I am. What of it?"
"What of it? Father I had a dream of Zaz and he said to "Give love to those who lost it." Right before I woke up. What does that mean?"
"You must be the love positive."
"Love?" said Tia.
"I talk to someone in my dreams as well, she said there are three positives and an opposing three negative. The positives are life, love, and mercy. Negatives are death, hate, and merciless. They are all part of a power chain called as you said earlier, Lumen Fulsi which means light beam."
"Which are you dad?"
"I am life. I heard the dragons outside and Excaelum may be the mercy."
"Who're the others?" asked Tia.
"I know who one of them is, he is death."
"Who is he?" Dawn asked.
"You remember him Dawn. He was the father of Zaz, my old teacher."
"Master Garren, why him?"
Luna and Gandore came inside.
Garren said,"All who posses these powers are connected in some way."
"How do you know that?Dawn asked the old mare.
"According to legend the magic was forged by 6. The magic was meant to bring balance to the world but, was split in half when they grew a different point of view."
"When was this magic made?" Shadow asked.
"400 years ago. It also says that all 6 powers must be awoken before the conflict can begin."
"Where's the piece of literature where you got this from?" questioned Dawn.
She pulled out a dusty old book titled Six Flowers. The binding was coming loose so, no one could touch it only use magic to read it. It was very thick and yellowed. The cover was faded and curled.
Tia questioned Gandore,"This is it?"
"Yes, I was reading this because sadly, I ran out of material to read. It's written in code princess. At first I didn't get it either but, I've spent 2 years decoding it and I still don't fully understand. The first and last three words of each chapter are they only words that matter and I have looked through the chapters to make sure I didn't miss anything, the rest is just about fillies that spent time together. That is why the book is so thick, to contain it's secrets."
"What do they say?"
"I haven't fully read the words because, I spent some much time trying to understand what the first few sentences meant but, I can show you what I have so far. The field was. Covered in grass. The six lived. On a five. Pointed piece of. Land that has. Fell from the. Dark cold skies. The six flowers. Grew apart now. They shared a. Sun and moon. They grew different. From each other. Three of the. Flowers died under. The moon and. The rest thrived. In the field. Of green grass. Red mist showered. The remaining three. Flowers lived on. Two visited a. Memories that calmed. The mind of. One before it. Died and all. Eventually dead, passed. On and the. Remaining lived to. See the future. Six were reborn. I need to read it over because, it seems this dusty old book is more important than I thought."
"That's it?" said Shadow,"Some of it doesn't make any sense."
Dawn spoke out,"I know what it is saying. The six who posses the powers will fight and four will die there. The other two will eventually die, then the six will be reborn. The location of the fight will be Fallen Star."
"Fallen Star?" Tia was surprised."How can you know this if Gandore couldn't figure it out?"
"Well, we are the powers so I think we have a connection the story. Five pointed piece of land that fell from the dark cold skies. Most shapes of stars have five points and it fell from the skies. Fallen Star. I do not want to go back there."
"Looks like we'll have to go there again." said Luna.
"I can't let you go sister."
"I'm not going to let them go and have the legend become a reality."
"Father who was the one who spoke to you? In your dreams."
"Your mother. You, Tia, and Luna haven't met her because, she died before Fallen Star became an island of death. That island used to be filled with life but, now it's probably nothing but a wasteland."
"So I'm assuming three have already awoken. Dawn, you, and Excaelum. What about the other three?" said Luna.
"Let's not worry about that now. Let's just mind our own business until they do but, Shadow we must take extra precaution for now. Since we just got this done we will wait for a month before taking another action." Tia scolded.
"Thank you, we do need to re-cooperate and Fencer is in a coma right now. What do you need?"
"We need help transporting cargo to different locations: Saddle Arabia and Los Pegasus."
"I recall no train tracks going to Saddle Arabia."
"You'll have to go there by hoof. There will be two groups both of them will be headed towards Los Pegasus, one will stay there and wait for the delivery to Saddle Arabia to be done. I want one group to stay so the cargo that has already been delivered will be protected."
"What's the cargo?"
"Metal. Just plain metal."
Shadow thought in his head,"That explains the swords Garren stabbed me with but, how did he get them? Did he raid Wrench and Wither after we left? He couldn't have."
"Shadow, can you do this?"
"Of course, I'll notify the others when I can."
One month has passed and both the cargo was safely on board the train. Fencer had awoken from his coma a week before this mission was scheduled and he joined the mission. Seng, Shadow, Lancer, Aero, Tint, Bladedancer, Flood, and Knight Black Soul were to be stationed at Los Pegasus. The Saddle Arabia team was led by Knight Storm and he had the other recruits and his team from Ice Valley with him. Both teams were give armor and hoof-swords. The armor for pegasus was little. It only had the helmet and for the center of the body, they weren't given full sets of armor because, they had to more agile and quicker than their enemy. The pegasus were all standing on top of the train, Seng and Soul were talking.
"Perhaps after this you all can be knights." said Soul.
"After all we went through so far, I hope so." Seng replied.
"I have been planning on this for awhile and with all of you I may have enough pegasus to make my own group."
"Of what?"
"The Royal Airborne Knights(R.A.K.). I have just been approved by Princess Celestia to form it whenever I wish."
"That's cool maybe you can put me as one of the leaders. We should rest, it's going to be awhile before we get there."
"I'll consider it. Everypony inside! Get some shuteye." Soul ordered.
Shadow was speaking to himself,"Garren, you will not bring death to this land."
They were all tired from standing of the train that was forcing wind in their faces so, they happily obeyed her. The train was silent even in the day. In a day or two they would arrive in Los Pegasus.

http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/1/12/Map_of_Equestria_online_version_2012-08.jpg I couldn't find Saddle Arabia on the map but, this is the map I used to base my fanfic in. I would assume Saddle Arabia would be in the desert area by San Palomino Desert. I made up the location for it as well.
