A week has passed since Utopia had been freed from the Order. Chrysalis, Twilight, and myself had been busy during that week, working on freeing other commanders in Ra's forces, including Demise, King of Armageddon.

Anyway, I was currently with Ra I the dining hall. "I have to thank you and the others, Josh," he said. "Most of my army is functional once more thanks to you and the others."

I shrugged. "Just helping out is all," I said. "Something has been bugging me, though."

"What?" he asked.

"How in the hell do you know Harmony?"

Ra chuckled. "That is a long story. The short version is that most powerful beings in the multiverse, my direct family included in that count, come from a place that exists outside the others. It doesn't have a name, so don't bother asking, but most call it the Void, as that is what it is: a void," he described. "Harmony and I are among the few who travel outside it, and are seen as gods by those we find, as our abilities are rather impressive. From those worlds, we have champions. You are mine, and Harmony found her's in the time stream earlier. What counts for houses in the Void, well, mine and Harmony's are close to one another, so, when we are there at the same time, we tend to see one another."

"So?" I asked, "how friendly are you two, if I may ask?"

"Not to the degree you're thinking," he said. "We are simply friends, and often time,s our champions work together when one can't handle something themselves. Though, that is rare, as our champions often have a direct link to our powers. In your case, Josh, it is my card. With Harmony, it is the Elements."

"Wait a minute," I said. "How the fuck is that possible? If it was the Elements, she'd have millions of champions."

Ra chuckled. "Directly, yes, but those are the majority, and even then, the mane six are not it, just the public one. As you know, for a world that exists in its own dimension, which the Void is, you can go through the entire multi-verse. Harmony is one of the very few who can manifest in each at the same time, and in many I know of, her champions are those hidden away from the public eye, or seen as villains by the public. I am not one of them, as i can only exist in one dimension at a time. Hence, I have but a single champion-you- or multiple in the same world.

"And I'm guessing the same goes for your daughter?"

"Yes, though, each alicorn Celestia," Ra said, "has the same mother, as does Luna, and that would be Harmony. How else did you think they're so powerful?"

"Magical bullshit?" I spitballed, making Ra chuckle.

"No," he said. "With the exception of the Celestia and Luna of the Equestria you landed in- and its many variations still somewhat close to it-, they were all born alicorns."

"Of course," I muttered before one of Ra's aides rushed in.

"Sir!" he yelled. "The scouts have something!"

"What?" Ra asked.

"The location of your brothers."

"Yes, yes, I know where Hamon, Uria, and Raviel are."

"No, sir, not them," the aide said, getting our attention. "Slifer and Obelisk. We know where they are now."
