“This place can only be opened by royal blood, that means you can open the door too.”Celestia walked elegantly into the realm of the new world opened by her magic.

     “If only royalty can open the door, how come it needs to be protected if nobody else can get in?” Twilight flew through the new door into the realm.

     “This wasn't the only entrance, once there were two entrances in Equestria. About 500 years ago there was a riot and protesting on the other side of Equestria, the ponies were greedy and wanted to excavate the mines all to themselves in the very cave the entrance was in, so the king at the time ordered the cave be closed off to all, except himself. The ponies thought he wanted gold but really he wanted it open to him so he could get in the entrance. Later the ponies ended up destroying the cave in anger and bitterness and it ended up they were caved in destroying themselves also.”

    “So that’s why it needs to be protected.” Twilight said at the same time being in awe of the world around her.

    The sky had changed to the color of aqua marine, the floor were made up of red and white checkered tiles but there were large lush green grass areas too, tall elegant chairs and a long table that sat 20 seats around it were randomly placed in the large area. There were 5 holes to the west cliff wall, like they were dug purposely and big enough to walk through like an entrance. There was one mirror standing in front of the cliff wall much like the one Twilight took to go to Canterlot high.

     “That mirror, it's the same one I went through!” Twilight ran up to it.

     “Not the same.” Celestia replied, “The mirror you walked through was enchanted, to create a portal to that world. Starswirl the bearded had much research on the subject of portals so I used his studies to create it for Sunsetshimmer.”

      Twilight searched her thoughts and recalled the Sirens being cast into another world by Starswirl, She too has created a portal into the strange world but only by science not enchantment. “But Starswirl the bearded wrote no spell like that? I would have known about it.”

     “Yes, however, his studies were hidden away so that, not just any pony could create a portal to mess with dimensions.”

     Twilight stared into the mirror seeing herself as human, she thought to herself “I don't remember the other mirror doing that?” she then turned around and saw another mirror far out but, this one was longer and was accompanied by a tiny tiny world like thing that span oh so very slowly. She ran up to it, as she walked in front of it the tile she stepped on glowed, she looked down then the tiny world accompanied by the mirror had tiny figures of her and her friends walking around the earth in a single file row, they looked very happy. Twilight looked into the mirror and saw her plain self in it, “So what is this one about? Does it go into another world too?”

     Celestia suddenly changed her tone of voice and became serious, “No Twilight, this is what I brought you here for.”

     She looked at her teacher then back into the mirror, “To see myself in the mirror?”

     “No, this is a very unique mirror, It's almost like it can tell the future.” Twilight became confused again and Celestia continued, “This mirror can tell from which world you are from, the other entrances we saw just a moment a go lead to other worlds and the leaders of that world come here every year including me. This mirror tells you who the next leader will be soon, that would mean I will no longer be here for some reason.”

      “What do you mean, wont be here anymore?” Twilight looked up to meet the Queen's saddened eyes.

     “See the figure of the world and your friends Twilight? That is how you will rule, with your friends happily and justly, that makes me happy. If you were to rule any other way the world would depict something else, sometimes to horrid to watch. The depiction of the world and this mirror is usually an event used as a celebration for the new rulers and their futures taking place at the yearly high council events, over my time, *sigh some times it's not what you would expect and something else comes of the leaders. I don't understand why some would abuse their ability.” Celestia looked sad as if she remembered something horrid from the past.

     Twilight then stepped off the tile then the figures of her friends on the world disappeared and world kept spinning and the mirror no longer kept her image although she was still in front of it,  “Why can't Luna just take over for you?”

      The queen then stepped on the tile, the mirror possessed the image of the young princess again although it was Celestia in front of it, the world turned grey and stopped spinning as the tile glowed. “See Twilight, what the mirror depicts is you, you are the future leader, it was planned that Luna take my place if something was to ever happen. See that the world is grey for I no longer have a future, I don't know when me and my sister's time will come, but it is you who must take on our responsibilities. You understand now my dearest Twilight?” as Celestia was saying these words to her the sky began to darken with grey clouds and thunder, it began to sprinkle and rain as they both began to tear up, Twilight threw herself onto her teacher with tears rolling down her face, Celestia also held onto her, covering her with a wing. “I know Twilight, I know.”

************************ *******************

It had been days since Celestia and Twilight left on their trip and the team was getting worried, Apple jack called a meeting at the throne room in the new kingdom.

      “As you all know Twilight's been gone for a while, I've been worried sick. She wouldn't just get up and leave like she did. We should have called this meeting earlier! What if something happened to the princess?” Apple jack said with an authoritative voice, then Pinkie Pie piped up.

      “Well, the princess of all princessessezz has been gone for about the same time, maybe they went on a trip!” she then started to run on with her speech quickly, “Maybe thats why Celestia called for an emergency meeting to tell Twilight that they need to go for a long trip to go to a SUPER SPECIAL PLACE! So she can show her that she's going to rule Equestria with all of US! Which would be super awesome! And we could have cupcakes and parties everyday! But this also means something would have to happen to the princess of princessessezz and the princess sister of the princessessezzes which means-” Pinkie was cut short bye Rainbow dash.

     “Wait! I didn't catch all that but did you say something will happen to Twilight?”

     “No silly I said the Princess of princessessezzes!” the excited pink pony started to bounce.

     “First of all enough with the Princessisezesis- whatever, be clear PINKIE!”

     “I mean, Princess Celestia and Luna.”

     “So your saying that something bad is going to happen to Celestia and Luna sugar cube?” Apple jack questioned.

     “Yup!”  

     “And nothing is going to happen to Twilight?” Rarity said.

     “Nope!” every pony was confused.

     “No something is going to happen to Twilight?” Apple jack went on.

     “Yup! She's going to rule Equestria with us by her side, weren't you guys listening to what I just said?”

     Fluttershy had something to add, “Oh dear, if Something is going to happen to the princesses and, Twilight is to rule that would mean..” every pony went white as a ghost except Pinkie and Apple jack broke the silence.

     “Pinkie.. Are you sure that's what your pinkie sense is telling you?”

     “Indeedly doodly doo!”

     “Absolutely positively sure?”

     “cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” she smashed her hoof into her eye.

     “Well let's get out there and warn them then!” Apple jack started to run toward the exit and every pony followed.

     “WAIT!”

     “Dag nabbit Pinkie! We have no time!”

     “Celestia and Twilight are in a place that nobody but alicorns and royalty can get through!” every pony came to a stop.

     “What!?” Rainbow dash yelled out.

     “It's true! That’s what my Pinkie sense is telling me.” every pony looked at each other.

    “Well if we can't get to them, we'll have to tell the royal guard what's going on in Canterlot and wait it out. Be sure to tell us when to go Pinkie Pie!” Apple jack warned her with a serious voice.

     “When the Pinkie sense calls, I will call you!” she said enthusiastically.
