Amidst dim candlelight, a single alicorn sat with his head bent down, eyes shut. He sat alone at the edge of a still pond, his reflection dancing in the water. The pond was nestled deep within the Everfree Forest, where the darkened trees with their gnarled branches surrounded all sides like shadow closing.

While most of the land had just shifted into spring, the Everfree was still gripped by clinging bits of winter. Snow covered the ground, and there was a lingering chill in the air. The alicorn hot breath left puffs of steam to curl and rise for a few seconds before disappearing into the night.

For a long while, the alicorn had sat in utter silence on the edge of the pond with only a few nearby candles for company. The light from the tiny, flickering flames fell upon his coat and mane, which were as black as the night sky. His cutie mark had been covered by scars, his flank appearing utterly blank except for small stars over the scars.

Only the quiet sounds of the forest were audible. There was the creaking of the trees, the shifting of the pond water, and the occasional buzz of insects. In all, it was a scene of tranquility, and it was just what the alicorn needed to prepare for the task of the evening. Yet, as he took in another deep breath, hoofsteps began to echo across the trees.

“General Constellation, we’re ready when you are to march.”

The black alicorn, Constellations, took in another breath, and his silver eyes opened as he turned to look at the pony who had approached him from behind. “I will be along shortly.”

The pony who had interrupted gave a nod before disappearing back into the forest. Constellations waited for the hoofsteps to fade into silence before lighting his horn. His magic flowed freely, and he used the mystic energy to reach to his side and levitate an ax into the air. He then looked skyward, fixing his gaze on the moon.

“My queen, guide me this night, for it is beneath this moon I fear for tomorrow."

Constellation spoke the words slowly with a voice that carried the tone of a pony well practiced in preaching, whose words could inspire loyalty and devotion in his soldiers. It was a voice that had drawn great minds and strong bodies to the cause, though at the moment Constleattion spoke only to himself as he lowered his head and touched a hoof to his chest.

“Let me be the hands for your will and strength until this hate ends.”

The levitating ax drew close to him and began to spin. The ax was a bright orange and yellow like the sun itself, with white stars all across its surface that shift as it moved through the ax like a comet. Along with stars, the ax blade was divided, to make it look like the horns of a minotaur. Finally in the center of the ax, was a gem that pulsed with magic similar to the sky.

“Let me bear your name,” Constellation spoke as he point the ax to the sky. “both powerful and wise, like the endless stars of the sky. Let me stand in your army,” he then picked up his armor and began to secure itself to his body, “in this armor may my prays reach you so that I may win this battle. Let me be your agent of order, for it is you I serve above all others.”

The final piece of armor levitated towards Constellation: a helmet made of the same metal as the ax golden steel. The alicorn guided the helm carefully, bringing it down his horn until it fit snugly onto his head. “May your power be with me, for, tonight, you shall see victory and feel relief for yourself. You shall look upon the world free of discord, and no longer will you be forced to watch the devastation it brings. Tonight, you shall see Draconequus push back again, ending their threat to this land with their Elements of Disharmony.”

Constellation rose to his hooves and looked at his reflection in the pond. He now appeared the ultimate doppelganger of his queen, and, like any loyal soldier, he was ready to do his duty for her. Through the efforts of him and his unit, they would see their queen win this war. Yet it was only he that was allowed to look so much like the queen, to lead the troops to the nest and destroy it and, nobody would steal that from him.

“Tonight, Queen Galaxia, your soldiers shall grant you another victory in this war, and end the tyrant of chaos shall fall.”

Mentally prepared, Constellation turned from the pond and began to walk into the forest. He followed a trail that connected to a nearby clearing, which came into view quickly. The clearing was occupied by an alicorn who was moving back and forth across the space as they constantly checked their weapons.

The ground had been cleared of snow, though a few piles were left dotted about the space. On both the exposed ground and on the piles of snow, there were wooden bowls filled with oil-soaked powders. All the ponies Constellation saw wore the black cloak of the order, except for two who stood giving orders: a trio of red, black, and sliver alicorns. They, like Constellation, wore the honored armor, though he alone wore the flowing, starfield cape and the helmet. Only he had the honor of wearing those as general.

“How close are we, flare?” Nexus asked as he approached the duo.

“ Song Swans said it is almost complete, and the troops only need a few minutes to get the spell ready,” the bright red alicorn answered, staring back at Consultation with her blazing eyes. Such eyes were a sign of honor and strength, a blessing that was granted by her majesty’s sun eye color, but its also a sign of her majesty's trust.

“Good,” Constellations said before turning to the black alicorn. “Zander, do you have the location of the base?”

“The coordination has not left my sight since our departure from the capital, General,” the shadow alicorn pony replied, motioning to the paper that was currently resting on his back.

“And, Song swans, how is our guest?”

“Oh yeah, he just woke up,” the sliver answered, “And boy is he scared!”

“That’s because you told him Zander would snap off his horns if he tried to escape,” Flare snipped.

Song swans shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “Hey, it kept him from trying anything.”

“He couldn’t try anything even if he wanted to. He’s in order cuffs, he can't use magic from chaos even if he wants", Flare said sarcastically.

"After all our magic is poison to one of them, if he did try it be like tearing his own head off", said Zander.

“You have all done well,” Constellation spoke, stopping the argument before it could go any further. “But now we must all take our places. Zander, take the coordination to the center of the ritual. Flare, Sawn song, prepare your weapons, and head to the sky.”

The three nodded, moving to their assigned tasks while Constellation turned his attention to one side of the clearing. There, lying on the ground, was a draconequus who had had arms and legs chained with cuffs and had a bag over his head.

Treading carefully, Constellation moved between the spell seal and approached the constellation. His brown coat was dirty from lying on the ground, and his dark yellow mane was a rough mess. The sight of him like that made Constellation frown a little, and, once he was close enough, he used his magic to remove the bag on his head and reveal his terrified eyes.

“I’m so happy you were able to join this evening, commander abyss.”

“General Constellation why are doing this? What are you going to do to me?” Abyss asked in a panicked squeak, just barely managing to find his voice. He struggled at the chains around his legs and tried to use his magic to escape. However, not only had he been physically bound, but the metal cuff secured around his limbs kept her from making use of her magic.

Nexus laughed a little to himself and got right in his face. “Inquisitive, though I should expect less from one the king star commanders,” he said with a frown. He then turned and began walking towards the center of the clearing lifting abyss in his behind him. Ahead of him, the shadow alicorn Zander had set up a metal pedestal, upon which he had placed paper from his back.

“What we have planned for you, Abyss is very simple. As to what we are doing… well, consider us simply opening a doorway, to enter your capital.”

“Are you crazy!” Abyss asked while he laugh in his magic and blew a raspberry at the general. There are millions of us in the capital and you have what two hundred here it's a suicide mission", Abyss said with smug superiority.

“It is much easier than you think, Commander. I will, however, give you a sneak peek. For the moment, all you need to know is that your… contribution is appreciated, in getting to the cave.” At that Abyss looked with pure terror.

You are INSANE if you enter through there you will release HIM", Abyss said with a face of pure terror and fear of death.

Not wanting to hear anymore Constellation replaced the bag on Abyss's head. He secured it tightly before placing a sound dampening spell across the fabric which muffled his continued protests

Leaving Abyss floating and thrashing in the air, Constellation walked over to the metal pedestal. He examined the contents of the paper set upon the tall, narrow metal table, and his eyes gleamed in anticipation.

Constellation then turned his attention to a dagger resting beside the paper, picking it up with his magic. The blade was fine, sharp, and clean. It had never been used, although Constellation intended to change that. He turned back towards Abyss, who was still twisting, flailing, and shouting out muffled protests. He drew close, and, after lowering a little closer to the ground.

" I am sorry but the killing has to stop ", Constellation said with a hint of pity, and then proceeded to give the commander a swift cut across the stomach.

Constellation is not interested in harming the commander further. He instead focused on the wound he had created. It had begun to weep blood, and Constellation set the dagger against it. He gathered several drops of blood on the blade and then placed it in the center.

“Now, I call on the gods of space we give the life from the blood of chaos so you open the door to the other side. Let our offering give you strength, so that you may hear, ” yelled to the spell seal, as if it was a prayer. He then levitated Abyss back to the edge of the clearing and dropped him unceremoniously at the base of a tree before he approached the metal pedestal. At the same time, the other ponies, as well as Zander, Sawn, and flare turned their attention to their general. They watched him, and they fell silent as he began to speak to them.

“Brothers and Sisters, for nearly two thousands year we have toiled in this war. We have fought chaos numerous times and defeated their tyrant king and their princesses, and we put our own safety at risk. Personal fortunes and countless hours have been spent to bring us to this point. But now we are ready; the spell is prepared. Tonight we, the Children of order, shall see the end of chaos and take their royal family heads!”

The rest of the soldier's ponies cheered and stamped their hooves against the ground in applause. Constellation smiled, and he took in their joy for just a moment before he continued to speak. “Once, our queen and king Tartarus were one and shared this land, but now we must kill him for his crime against the holy balance. No, it more that tonight we end this conflict so no more blood has to be shed because of that mad king's lust for power. This world has endured a horrible fate, because of the Elements of disharmony's devastating effect to kill our queen, but that end as we stand here tonight.

“For it is tonight we give this victory to of our queen so life can begin again. It is tonight our queen’s shackles shall be broken forever. And it is tonight that our campaign to retake Equestria begins!”

Constellation reared back and raised his voice to a triumphant shout. “Now lend your magic to the spell my brothers and sisters, for tonight, our victory is at hoof! For tonight, we will begin the new era!”

The alicorns cheered, sharing in Constellation jubilation before quickly going about their work. The alicorns formed a circle around the clearing, and their horns glowed as the lines of paint they had drawn on the forest floor came to life with blue incandescence. At the same time, Zander, using his earth magic liting the torch around the circle, causing them to flare with an eerie brown flame.

A similar scene was occurring in the air above the ritual. There, the sawn and flare-held bowls of star powder, the two armored commanders lit each bowl with practiced efficiency, using their wings to blow the powder all over the seals, before joining Zander on the edge of the spell, where the trio would watch as it unfolded.

Constellation himself watched all this, and, once all the bowls were lit, he waited until the air became sufficiently saturated with magic. He then used a spell of his own to take the fire from one of the bowls. He held the fire gingerly and carried it over to the ritual’s center slowly so that it wouldn’t die. Then, with a final pleased smile, he tossed the fire on the paper and smiled as the fire turned eerie green.

The paper burst into flame almost instantly, Constellation, and quickly retreated to the edge of the circle to join his fellow alicorns. There, they all began to twist and form the magic in the air, working it like potters with clay. They shaped the free magic, molded it, and began to force it down into the bowl.

And, after a few anxious moments, Constellation saw what he had hoped for. The blood-soaked dagger started to float above the fire, cradled by the energies of the spell. The blood was drawn up from the blade and formed into a single crimson sphere. The dagger itself then launched clear of the spell with such force that its polished blade dug deep into one of the trees surrounding the ritual.

Then, with the dagger gone and the blood remaining, black smoke began to billow from the central bowl. The papers were starting to burn, and the smoke they released formed around the large drop of blood. The fires, smoke, and magic from the wooden bowls set around the spell were drawn in as well. Everything was swirling and orbiting the spell’s focal point, being drawn in like water in a whirlpool.

The drop of blood became encased in a black sphere, and that black sphere began to slowly grow. It drew in the fire and smoke and everything else, growing larger with each passing moment.

“Yes… it is working my brothers and sisters,” Constellation called out. “The portal is beginning to take shape. the way is opening soon—”

KRAC--OOOM!

A huge occur explosive, knocking all the alicorns back only Constellation stood his ground, he was dazy but after his vision focused he could a swirling dark blue Vortex, had appeared.

" Everyone the portal is opening all troops to the capital", Constellation shouted with authority.

At once all the soldiers stood up on command and start marching through the portal to the den of their enemy.

Sawn songs swallowed nervously, stepping slowly through the darkness as she kept her head down, following the light of her blinking horn. The threatening rocks of the cave surrounded her, their jagged and twisted stalactite reaching down from the ceiling like razor-sharp teeth. The silence of the cave was also strangely unnerving. Sawn songs ears swiveled constantly to pick up any trace of sound as shivers ran up her spine from both the tension and the chill in the air.

"BOO", a voice shouted scaring Swan song to latch on to one of the stalactites like a cat in a tree.

"You're too easy sometimes Sawn," A voice called from the darkness revealing itself to be Flare with her lit up.

"Of course, it's you Flare, sometimes I wonder why the queen gave you the solar eyes", Sawn song said as used her wings to glide back down onto the floor near Flare.

"That easy big sis I am a warrior, you are scared of the dark", Flare said with smug superiority, Sawn song gave her an annoyed look then pick her abre briquet she dropped and sheath it.

" Says the gorilla that has a club for a weapon, my abre is more elegant for my style". Sawn Song said with smug superiority toward her sister, Flare turned toward her with a look of pure rage.

" While yeah my club can wreck you any time of the week ice queen!"

"berserker"

"stuck up"

" daddy girl"

"loner"

"forehead"

"ears"

The sister looked at each for a long time, before bursting out laughing like there was no tomorrow. After a while then both took seconds to catch their breath and lit their horns so bright it was like a torch in the darkness.

"How long has been since we talk like that It feels like centuries Flare", Sawn Song said with a giggle still in their throat as Flare spoke with the same tone.

" I think the last time we acted like this was before the academy, good to know my sister is still my sister and not like Zander"

I know right I like Zander but that guy does not have a funny bone at all", Sawn song said with a look annoyed.

"Speaking of Zander we try to find the rest of the units so we claim that tyrant head, and get out this cave it gives me the creep", Flare said with a look of determination and fear.

Sawn and flare started walking through the cave, However, as they rounded a bend in the path, they try using their, locator spell to locate Zander and the spell led them to a boulder blocking their path.

"That's strange the general said there would be a clear path through this cave to the capital?", Sawn song said with a confused looked that she shared with Flare.

"Funny you should say that big sis, I've been meaning to ask about my concerns with this mission to the capital", Flare said with a look of worry on her face as she turned to face her sister.

"I been having doubts, this mission just doesn’t feel right. For one we just happened to have one of the enemy's top leaders in our prison, and the queen sends us here with a force this small to fight the enemy's entire army. Lastly, with what Abyss said about something being down, and how scared he look, I mean what could scare a draconequus like that", Flare said with shaken limbs as stared at her sister waiting for a reply.

"I don't know Flare, but I hear your doubts but I must say this I what this war to end. I am tired of all this hate. I don't care anymore about the balance, hear about how the mission reek of unknowns. Though we have gone off more than this before If the general is right we can end the war by tomorrow. Well, I say and let everything be chaotic if it mean the bloodshed can end", Sawn song said with a look of determination and wariness. Flare look at her sister with a hint of sadness and understanding.

"I understand Sawn, I will keep my doubts to myself, for now, so let's move this rock out of the way and hook up with Zander", Flare said as they both nodded and lit their horn with powerful magic, the rock start to move until then felt a huge gust of magic wash over them and halt their process.

The sisters looked confused and dazed for a few seconds before resuming their magic until the boulder was completely out of the way. What was inside took their breath away it was like a paradise inside. A forest of magic with a strange bird flying across the sky and flowers floating across the field. Waterfalls pour water into the lakes and various strange creatures drink from the water.
(think of the forests from the avatar)

"Flare is this dream because it's so beautiful it can’t be real ", Sawn said with pure joy and wonder.

"This is no dream Sawn, this is real life", Flare said with the same look as Sawn.

As they were looking at the forest of magic, a cloud of shadow was behind them looking at them with joy and curiosity. The cloud formed into what appeared to humanoid with a dark cloak on with a dragon mask on its face. Finally, attached to its back were wings but it had no flesh between the membrane, just shadow-like energy between them giving the impression the wings were bitch black.

The shadow finally spoke with an eerie voice and bone-cracking joy.

"Thank you my garden is something is it, it has been a while since I have had visitors in my home", said the shadow the sister looked behind them in alarm and drew their weapons and struck the creature with the force of an earthquake but then hit nothing but air.

"Where did he go!", said Flare with anger looking around rapidly for the shadow that appear.

"Now that no need treat your saver ladies, after all this my home that just plain rude twice over", The shadow behind them again the sisters look at with anger and confuse and then Sawn said.

"What do you mean, you reek of chaos energy, creatures of chaos can't make something like this, and your blackhole of the stuff", Flare screamed, and the shadow, shadow simply stared and said.

"Where did you that idea, hmmm, or right from those chaotic clowns, sorry ms but I am god compare to them, I can do things you would not believe", The shadow said with smug superiority to the sisters, the sisters look at him confused. Then put their weapons down and let the shadow continue.

"Let's start with start introduce, Hi my name is Meteor sunrise what are your names", Meteor said with a voice joy and couristy.

" I am Swan song that Flare my little sister", Sawn said with a look of distrust but confusion toward this creature, all her life every chaotic creature she comes across has never acted like this.

"oooosisterthatniceIhaveasisterofmyownbutsheoutfortheyearmoresheawayonherjobs", said a Meteor said in a ramble before Flare said in an annoyed tone.

"Hey METEOR let's focus I got some questions for you", Flare said breaking Meteor out of his ramble and looking at them with his pitch-black eyes.

"Sure what is Flare, I mean we are friends now you can ask me anything", Meteor said with a look of joy, Flare took back his enthusiasm as he held her hoofs in his armor hands that were covered in stars. The armor was a mix of the color of the rainbow-like each stripe of the armor was a different color.

" Okay boundaries dude, ok let's start where are we and have seen anyone else here," Flare said as took her hoofs back from him and he answer in a preacher-like way.

" That easy you are in the garden of balance a place where chaos and order are one and as for other there at my place".

" That nice dude but hey can talk to my sister for a second", Sawn said

" Knock yourself I have to look at something for a few minutes anyway," said Meteor

The sisters look at each and spoke privately so as not to be heard by Meteor the sisters put on a serious look and Flare
spoke

" Okay so what do you think, he is obviously not like the other but he has such a strong chaos aura it might be even greater than the king himself, I for one say we book it", Flare says with a look worried and stared at the shadow as look at the lakes below in the canyons.

"I have to say it is tempting, but something feels different here it's like chaos and order are both here in harmony. Besides he knows where the unit is so I say let's play along for now. Besides, he does not seem dangerous anyway", said Swan as she at look at Meteor as he scan the lake below looking for something.

"Okay, I follow your lead beside I am curious as well this place reminders of what life used to be like before the war", said Flare looking at the land with a small smile on her face. " Yes I agree we will return to this after we take the king's head and the war is over," said Swan with a look of Joy and fondness, and then she turn her head to Meteor and said.

"Okay Meteor can you take us to our group, "Meteor put a finger to his chin think for a second, and then snap his fingers.

" Okay but you must stick with me okay no falling behind, this place can be dangerous if you touch the flow", said Meteor with a serious tone the sister look confused and asked together.

"What is this flow you speak off"

"The flow is the magic in this place think of it like a rain cloud that hangs above us as long you stay low we should be fine now then, "Meteor unfold his wings and took to the sky and hovers. "let's get move on to my home".

Flare and Sawn song both joined him in the air and took off over the horizon to their destination

As soon as they took to the sky they opened their eyes, to see Meteor hovering.

“So... where is your home?", Flare said

" About hour flight due south of here, on the other side of the valley", Meteor said with knowing flight

" Okay let's get a move on then", Flare said with determination

The trio, knowing their flight time, rocketed at high speed to their destination. As they flew then below them there were all types of wildlife, ranging from four-arm gorillas with green fur to armadillos with drills for limbs. The planet life was l a mix of wild and order, some of the trees were twisted into each other while others were perfectly aligned with each. The nagging questions in the sisters about the place were unanswered but they had to ask just one.

"Meteor... can we ask something of you, as a way to kill time," Sawn song said hoping for an answer,
Meteor turns his head and stared at the sister through his mask for a moment as if thinking of an answer signing he turn his head back forward a gave in.

" Very well but I cannot answer everything somethings are better left untold", Meteor said with a tone of sadness and hurt, the sisters were confused before looking at each other with shared thoughts about the question and then what to ask. Flare start with her question.

" Meteor you said this place is the balance between chaos and order, but that should be impossible so why does the place exist?", Flare ask with a look and confusion and a voice with a hint of fury, because to her chaos was the enemy and peace was never an option for this war, so why their peace here.

" That easy my dear Flare, you think chaos and order are natural enemies but only because you fight their agents, but chaos itself is pure life. No one can blame the weapon of a warrior, it is the choice of the wielder to choose how to use their weapon. Order is the same both forces are cornerstones of reality, one cannot exist without the other, then they are not evil it is the wielder who makes them fight.

Flare was taken back, all she could be stared at her guide, as countless thoughts filled her head, with just a few sentences, and made her question her beliefs as a warrior. Sawn song saw her sister's expression, she notice something she had not seen for a long time, Flare was shattered so she let her sister collect her thought as she ask her questions.

" Meteor... something has been bugging me for a while you said our enemy were clowns compared to you, are you a threat to order?", Sawn song with a voice of suspicion and a hint of seriousness.

Meteor stopped flying and hovered with the Sawn and Flare right in front, he was dead silent, and then with loud-sounding laughter that shook the sky itself he stated. " If you what to know that then prepare for a horror you are about to observe". He reach for his mask with an armored hand and took off his dark dragon mask revealing his face to alicorns. "Does this answer your question little girl", Meteor said with a big smile on his face with his jagged black teeth forming the smile.

The sisters both with a look of shock on their faces felt a chill running down their entire bodies. It felt to them all the color on their bodies had been replaced with a dull gray coloring. For a moment their wings stop flapping and then almost lose control of their body before picking themselves back up. Finally, Sawn got her nerves back and finally found her voice.

"I see Meteor you are no enemy to the balance, I apologize if I offended you ", Sawn said with a voice filled with fear and respect for the hood shadow, Flare felt the same Meteor was someone you do not what to make mad.

"Think nothing of after all your the first beings, I have the pleasure of meeting in 500 years. So let's call this a show and tell, though, after that last statement, I am thinking that the end of these questions, until later that is", Meteor said as he place his mask back on his face. He then looks at the sisters with serious eyes telling them he was longer in the mood for questions. So with a clap of hands to their attention.

" Okay girls let's continue to my home", Meteor said as he started flapping his wings to back the flight path. Flare and Sawn follow behind him sharing a look then all too well. Then must never share what they just saw because then both know the consequences of either ever sharing what they just saw.

After a long flight of silence, the trio land at the entrance to a path lay down with yellow brick. The trio followed this path until then enter a clearing with a two stories house in the middle of it. The house itself was raised above the ground with gray tree branches holding it up that reach all the way to the second floor. The house's entire roof was covered with green and black moss with what appeared to be two gaint trees popping out of the roof. One of those had stairs leading up to a lookout point with moon shape crest all over it. The house windows and doors were covered in tree-like marking that rembles those of the everfree. Finally, there was a red moon and green moon symbol on the front door that was easily two meters tall with a bull head as the door knob.

"You have a nice home, Meteor very natural-like", said Sawn

"Thank, me and my sister and built this house from nothing over five hundred years ago, as our kind summer home", said Meteor with pride in his voice.

"So is our unit inside?", Flare said with a hint of doubt, Meteor shook his head and point to the roof.

"Your company is in my look point let go to them now", Meteor said and turn to Flare and Sawn song and touch their shoulder." The first time is always unpleasant", said Meteor with a look knowing while holding in a giggle. The sisters look at him and Flare spoke

"What are you...", Flare said but she could finish as they were blind by light, and the next thing they knew the general was in front of them. The entire unit was setting at a table, long and heavy and carved, occupying most of the space on the lookout. It could have hosted dozens easily, with two throne-like chairs on either with a telephone over next to the one to flare and Sawn chair. Zander sat next to Constellation leaving everyone to turn their head to the two sisters. Constellation looks at them with surprise and confusion for a second and spoke to their attention.

"Flight commanders Flare and Sawn song where have you slackers been, it been hours so we last saw", said Constellation with a voice of authority and power. Both Flare and Sawn were about to answer but then felt all their energy draining away and then fell onto the ground. Meteor appear behind a little shook and said.

"Sorry short-range teleport is very hard on the body the first time but it is the only way to get past my home natural defense", Flare and Sawn glare at with an annoyed look in their eyes. Gathering themselves off the floor they salute to the general and flare spook while maintaining the salute.

"Sorry sir but we got sidetracked for a while, me and Sawn got separated from you and we ran into Meteor and he led us here", Flare said with a dry throat and fatigue, Sawn was the first to get up and help Flare as then sat down
the table made out of wood and stone sitting on either side of the empty throne-like chair. Flare was sitting on the left while Sawn sat on the right, Constellation spoke to the unit in a loud voice.

"So now I guess everyone here so let's catch Flare and Sawn song up to speed on our state Zander", Consetalltion said as he turn to the black alicorn, said alicorn stood up from his stool and spoke.

"As we stand we are only a little behind in time, but we are in unknown territory with unknown creatures, and our host has brought trouble news", Zander said with a look of disappointment, all the alicorn at the table except for the general were confused by the statement.

"Sir what do you mean by that?", said a yellow alicorn with narrow blue eyes. She has long and wavy strawberry-blonde hair that reaches the middle of her back. She sports a pair of round framed glasses and a black wide-brimmed hat with a dark red-purple ribbon.

"To make clear captain Sliver wood, we are at a dead end", said Zander with a serious tone, the tension in the lookout getting thicker by the minute, all that was quiet for a few minutes before the general spoke up.

" Let our host explain the situation to us", said the general as she gestured to the stair all turned to the stairwell, then heard bone rattle until Meteor was in sight. Meteor places his scythe on a hook behind the other throne chair on the side of the table, sitting down he summons some wine for himself and speaks.

" Thank you general, it has been a long time since I had this many in my home, but let's get down to business", said Meteor said gesturing to all the alicorn present and looking at him a feeling of chill run down them.

" Now about the early matter we discuss, you said something about the enter being block", said Constellation said with a look that signaled for the alicorn to be quiet for the moment.

"Yes as told you Consellation, to get up there you would have to through the flow and that bad idea".

"Why is that Meteor please enlighten all as to why".

"Simple the flow is pure magic, anything that has magic inside well acts like a magnet, and will be drawn into it and broken down into nothing. Let me show what I mean". Meteor conjure a fireball in his hand and threw it into the sky. The fireball travel at high speed to the clouds above, as it approaches the clouds forms into a tornado and absorbs the fireball into it.

All alicorn look at with a surprising look on there, then just saw the sky eat magic. Constellation looks to Meteor a frow having confirmed his theory about the true nature of their problem.

" It true then the order is helping chaos, by keeping us out of the capital, that making the shield around the capital right now", The alicorn all look to their general with a look of shock on their face, has their general gone mad.

"General this is no time for jokes", said Flare with a tremble all over her body, her eyes were burning with fear. She heard a low chuckle next to her and realize it was Meteor, Flare glared at him.

"Is something funny Meteor", said Flare with a growl

"It's just funny and ironic that the holy balance is the thing your fighting for, but it's also the thing that dragging out your war", said Meteor with a smug ugly smile

"Oh yeah, what do you suggest we do Mr.know it all". said Flare with a growl Meteor look at Flare with black eyes and then his mouth formed into a long eerie grin, he look like a wicked trickster with his dragon-like mask on.

"Well I could help you out, but I cannot leave this place, but I can supply you with what you need general", said Meteor

"I feel a catch here Meteor, what do you want", said Constellation with a look inquire toward Meteor. With a grin, Meteor stood up from his chair and walk toward the edge of the lookout looked at the sky, and said.

" Oh nothing much, I just what two things to be free of this place and get back to my old friend. For now, I will settle for a meeting with your queen", said Meteor with a look of longing as he turn back to the general.

"You just said you can't leave so how am supposed to set up this meeting", said Constellation with a confused tone

"Just give this to her, she will know what to do with it", said Meteor as he toss a white sphere to Constellation, Constellation grabbed it with his magic and study it looking like the sun imprinted on the left side and the moon on its right.

" Ok, I will pass this along", said Constellation as he took the sphere back into his pack.

" Now what do we general, it's not like we just go back like this, the council will have our heads for leaving the mission incomplete", said Zander with a hint of worry in his voice, most of the squad shared the same thought, leaving a mission mean death or worse chaos firing.

" Let me worry about that Zander, I am just worried about the queen well feel about this", said Consettlation with a look of sadness and regret he thought of the countless battle he had fought and how they never end. He gave himself false hope thinking tonight would be the end, he should know better war is cruel.

"Well I love for you all to stay and chant, but I have many things to get ready for later. So about I send you back home and you deliver my message", said Meteor as he raised his hand and tore open a piece of space. Everyone looks in surprise at the magic that was shown.

"Impossible that a rift, how do you that", said Sawn song with a shocked look on her face, Meteor grin and snaps his finger lifting everyone into the air.

" I told you, some things are better left unsaid little girl, goodbye friends", said Meteor as he motioned his hand toward the rift. The entire unit was hurled through the rift after everyone was flung through the rift, he clap his hand and it close.

Meteor let out a chuckle and sat back in his chair. Meteor reached for the phone next to his chair, and enter some number, the phone let in an ear-ringing scream each time it rang. After a few minutes a low growl could be heard on the end, Meteor relax into his chair and look at the sky.

" Yeah it's me old friend, the time has finally come".

"...."

"Yeah, I am sending you a list of what I need".

"....."

" Don't worry, then don't know".

"...."

"Yes, very soon I will be back down there with you and everyone else".

"......"

" No that will not happen those clowns don't even understand what it is".

"....."

" Yeah, for now just send TR he does love a party".

"....."

" Yes I know opportunity has come knocking at last his head well be mine"

"......"

"Yes once I get the deal sign we can begin"

"....."

" Alright being seeing you very soon Athene".

Meteor put down the phone back on the stand and snap his finger to change it into a book with a red pentagram on the front. Scrolling through pages looking for a specific page finally land on the one he what. Growing a grin on his face takes out a deck of cards from the page.

"Ah my cards these will come in handy very soon, so whose should I use first", Meteor look at the cards with pictures of different types of creatures on them, looking at each card with a dilemma on his hand.

" Then all look so lethal I can't choose", Meteor having a wild idea used his magic to randomize the cards until one floated up to his.

"hmm oh yes then well just fine with my demonstration to the queen. Hahaha I can already feel the joy this going to bring oh I can't wait for your reply old friend", Meteor then starts chuckling at a low volume that gradually turns into laughter.

Queen Galaxia was an alicorn of the highest strand she was also the oldest in the world. Some say she give time and stars but knew if the myths were true. The queen gave an aura of burning a star in the night sky in the form of an alicorn. She was taller than a grown stallion, had Slightly desaturated red, her coat light grayish yellow with a darker tone on her wings, horn, and hooves, and her mane was very light orange dark moderate blue with stars. My most important was her cutie's mark it was of the galaxy itself swirling forever.

She sat on her throne known as the throne of harmony which was made of gold, the back part of the throne showed pictures of the sun, moon, sea, and land. On this throne, she felt a disturbed in space and time like a door that was never supposed to open had opened. She looks to the right at her crown it was a golden tiara with five purple jewels placed on each spike of the crown. She let a huge sign every day she put on that crown she felt it get heavier every day. So she does not know why though it is like her heart was trying to tell her something.

She was drawn from her thoughts by a shockwave appearing in front of her. The shockwave was drawn to one point and formed in ball-blue lighting. A light came from inside the ball and as the ball began to disappear outcome was Constellation and his entire unit. As then lay on the floor with burn marks all over the floor. Galaxia stood up from her throne and ran toward them arriving in front of Constellation.

" Constellation what has happened," Galaxia said with worry in her voice, Constellation look up with heavy eyes and reach into his pack with his magic to lift up the sphere. With heavy eyes, he collapses to the floor with a sphere dropping the floor.

" GUARDS we need a medic team in here!" Said Galaxia said in a booming voice, two giant doors open several alicorns dressed in armor. A trio of three guards each approach one of the fallen alicorns and pick them up to take them to the medic ward.

" My queen what about the general he has to sustain heavy damage to his horn and heart," said one of the guards helping pick up the general. Galaxia looks at it for a few seconds and then shut her eyes to think about the best course of action. Opening her eye she turns to the guards

" Take him to princess Ingrid for ice healing"

" Understood my queen" the guard gave her a salute and hurry to give medic treatment to the wounded unit.

Now only Galaxia collect her thought, she drew her attention to the object Constellation was trying to give her. She lift it up in her magic to look at it had the symbols of harmony on it. So she knew what to do she had to recite the words of harmony

" The suns, moon, sea, and sky are different but then are all one in order" After reciting the words of order the sphere opened, and inside was a projector and it starts a spin with a hologram forming in front. The hologram shows Meteor sitting on a black throne with swords on the top forming a crown, a lion head forming the armrest, and a holder on the back holding his scythe. Meteor with a grin on his face as he spoke. Galaxia could feel something bubbling inside her chest, it was anger mixed with something maybe sorrow, fear no it was dread. Dreading the unknown of this she could feel its aura and it was else.

" At last we meet the queen of time and space, my name is Meteor"

" Yes we do but who are you," said Galaxia with determine

" Who I am is not important, what I can offer you is"

" Oh and what are offering to me stranger"

" Easy Galaxia I am not your enemy. Think of me as a friend offering my services to end this war forever"

" A friend, I have heard that from many true friends and good souls, but then slaughtered by those monsters. So don't speak about friendship because to me all I see is a threat".

" Now Galaxia I am not like them, I am merely a third party that offers help to the losing side". Meteor grow a grin on his face Galaxia morphed into one of shock and her body trembled with fear.

" How do you know that, not even my daughters know that".

" Easy those clowns have you push up against the wall, that's why you sent your troops my way. You need them to take the royal family quick because their king has something that giving him an edge in this war since day one."

"So you know so what, it not like I can sit back a let the world burn because of that mad tyrant ramage".

"No my dear anything but that, I am simply saying that for the underdog to win, then need a miracle, and I can be that miracle".

" So you can save my alicorns, I suspect you are not doing this out of kindness".

"HAHAHA, you are smart, so I will cut this short, I can offer footsoldiers, weapons, titans, armor, and warriors for the right price.

"What is the price of this deal."

" If I were to offer my men and women, I all need are two things a deal sign and certain someone head"

" Okay that pretty vague stranger, I can't agree to deal this blind."

" Okay fine, guess I can say I what Tartarus body after our deal finish."

" You what his body why, but why its nothing but flesh and bone after his soul depart."

" No need to worry about that for now, all I need from you is to sign the deal."

" Again I am no fool, give me some credit Meteor."

" I see you need proof of power before signing. Okay about this tomorrow I will open up a rift and send one of my best men. If you are impression you sign the deal, if not we will leave at that fair".

" Fair I hope you do not disappoint Meteor"

" My fair lady, what kind of man can't make good on a promise. Anyway that concludes my time see you tomorrow". With that statement, the projector stopped spinning and the hologram disappear. Galaxia the sphere and places next to her crown.

The queen then sat back down on her throne and look out the window. The thinking was all she does these days, it annoyed her she what to get out of this castle and fight like she did before her parent passed away. Letting out a sign she look back to the devices, she did what to give herself false hope she spent a decade hearing those promises. If by some miracle it was true the balance could finally be restored and the world is safe again for her children and their children.

"You better deliver Meteor, I hate liers"

It's been hours since I sent my message to the queen, and there's been no sign of her. Though we now have are ready for when she arrives through my gate armed with rifles with two-thousand death made and ready for use, I've got my monster and TR ready. I've got my Athena moving her teams to get the items on my list made up of imps and goblins and darcos.

Nothing much has been happening and it has been nice and quiet. Until I heard a knock on my door and use my magic to teleport outside my barrier. What stood is a 2-meter tall, bulky, bipedal t-rex with a large shell covering its back. There is a single, oak-like tree and three triangular, stony extensions resembling mountain peaks on the top of the shell. There is a patch of brown, resembling soil, next to the tree. A white rim surrounds the shell and forms a diamond-shaped continuation on the front. Its body appears sectioned, with the upper half being green and the lower half brown. Its mouth is jagged, which gives it the appearance of a snapping turtle. It also has a grey nose. Its lower jaw is green and there are two large spikes protruding from its cheeks. The t rex, red eyes are encircled by a black ring. Its legs are thick and they have four toes each, which appear as if they are actually jagged stones. There are three toes on the front and one on the heel. Its arms are brown with branches forming into a hand with three leaf-like claws.

"Hello, my old friend, how have you been Terra rex" Meteor answered with a cheering tone holding out his arms for a hug. Terra rex lowers himself down to take in the hug.

" You know how it is my lord, paperwork, drills, and more paperwork," Said Terra in a tired deep voice. "Still I was surprised when Athena told me to come up here to see. I swear that girl only talks now when she hands out jobs".

" Don't be too hard on her she is under a lot of stress, being my eyes and ears is tuff work. Though let not dwell on the past come Terra, let us walk" Meteor waved his hand signaling Terra rex to follow, him along the path. The pair walk for minutes until they reach a golden waterfall. The waterfall had phonies nesting on the cliffside and seirns swimming in the golden water, while some lay on the rocks along the edge of the lake.

" Ahh I see now why you ask me to bring Torviathan he is perfect for the place", states Terra as he nods with approval over his master choice.

" His card came up in my deck choice, though he is perfect for the demonstration of power to the queen," said Meteor as looks to the sirens in the pool and walked toward them with TR right behind them. A yellow seirn with red fins and golden eyes looks toward the pair.

" Lord Meteor what bring you here today?" said the seirn

" Hello Tana can bring your sisters over here, I have a favor to ask" address the yellow siren name tana.

" Of course lord Meteor anything for our favorite", tana let a haunting melody signal the other sirens. All the sirens turn their heads and dove into the water swinging toward their sister. After coming to the edge all the seirns pop their head out of the water and look up at Meteor.

" Now what to do what to ask my lord," said tana

" Easy I need you, ladies, to simply move to sea tunnels for an hour, so I can do a demonstration for a client," said Meteor, all seirns look dumbfound for a few seconds before a small sliver seirn with jade-like eyes and fins spoke up.

" UH master Meteor, I mean no disrespect but we can't exactly walk to the sea tunnels" Meteor got down on one knee and let a little chuckle

" No worries little one, I will open a rift so you can go there," Meteor said with a wide grin

The sirens all look at each before giving a nod. " Alright lord we will go to the ocean cave, but we must ask don't do anything reckless, remember what happen last we allow for the use of our falls?

Meteor let a hearty laugh. "That takes me to a better time my Tana, now then off you go". Meteor said as he stuck his hand into the water to open a rift underwater.

" Ok ladies let go," said tana as they all dove underwater to be sucked into the rift.

"Now then it's time to call Galaxia here, Terra rex escort her here while I summon him here," Meteor said as he turned to TR, TR giving a slight bow

"Understood" with that Terra rex dug into the ground with a visible lump of dirt appearing where he stood and he started moving back toward the house like a land shark.

" Now it's time to call my monster back from the beyond" Placing a card on the water, Meteor got into a media-like position and started chanting an ancient spell.

" Hear the spell of this immortal, send this creature through the portal. I call the creature of the sea and star, the ancient monster of the milky way sea. Appear before me as I call your name from the deep below Torviathan. After the final word was chanted a blue spell seal appear over the water. The seal opens allowing for something to climb a four-finger black hand grabs the edge and a creature emerges.

" I Torviathan of the sea of envy have answered you're called my lord", said the now-named Torviathan. Torviathan his leg are sleek with the front side of his legs and feet are black, ending in three-pointed toes with webs between the toes that are yellow, with one black claw behind the legs also have white round patches on the knee. The sides of the thighs were blue with orange sea clam shells attached to the sides, the lower body is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends up to its thighs. For his tail, he had four red spines in the middle with the under being turquoise and the top part of the tail being ocean blue. Along the rest of the tail were two red crown-like spines and three blue rough scales. At the end of the tail was a dolphin-like tail with a black fan-like tail fin extending upward from the middle of the dolphin fin. A blue, fin-like projection forms a collar around his throat and runs down the length of his chest and belly. White lacy marking runs around the pecs which were covered in thick blue armor his mid-drift was black with a white diamond at the top. His arms were turquoise covered in rectangular scales and attached to his forearms are sectioned bracer-like coverings, that appear to be made of seashells. His hands are black with four white claws, and attached to his back is a turtle shell with water cannons coming out of the shell and pointing upward. Finally, his head resembles that of an otter and a pinniped with blue and turquoise fur. He has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. He has orange conicals that protrude from round patches on either side of his face. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, with a similar fin on each side of its head. He has long light blue hair trailing off the back of his head held in a ponytail by white pearls. Lastly, he has a golden trident-like crown attached to the bridge of his nose and his eyes are orange slits with black iris.

" Hello my mariner how have the sea treated you these days"

" You know how Moby, spiders, and the dark sea it was better than last season", said Torviathan as he float to the ground off the water.

" So you must know why I use your card, to call you from home".

" Athena already informs us with her mic, I swear she needs to learn self-control".

" HAHAHA, still the same as ever that's why she takes over Dora when I am away".

Torviathan had a smirk on his face with his eyes close, thinking of a silly thought. "Yes, she is the only one who can handle that manic".

"Torviathan tries to remember who you are talking to", Meteor is visibly annoyed. Torviathan simply shrugged his shoulder all cill-like.

" Whatever lord, now then what do you want me to do".

Meteor grew a grin on his face and with a snap of his finger, he made the water from the lake form three geysers. " I want you to put on a show for the queen".

Torviathan look surprised and after a few seconds his face took on a look of understanding and a grin formed. " I understand my lord".

Galaxia was standing in the center of the field outside the summer home as the rift being her close. " Now then where is this proof you speak of Meoter, Meoter?" she looks around confused with no soul around

" Hmm this is odd he said the rift would lead me to him. Yet I see no sign of him, nor his aura",

The ground began to shake as trees were being blown away by a gaint cloud of dirt and dust. " What is it feels like an earthquake, but I sense a huge amount of magic and it coming this"

The dust cloud blew past Galaxia as a figure shot out of the ground a land back on the ground with a thunderous shockwave. Galaxia cleared her eyes of dust to focus her eye on Terra rex. The two stared at each other for a while before Galaxia finally spoke

" I thought your race was dead long ago, what a mystery" Terra rex grew a grin on her face

" Well well, it appears there still though old enough to know of my existence"

" It is my job to know all creatures of time and space"

" I expect nothing less from the oldest alicorn. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Terra rex right hand to sir Meteor"

" So your one his aid, then where is he, I thought he was gentleman, yet he does not show himself" Terra rex gestured to behind.

" My master needs to get things ready for you, I will take you to him"

" Now, before that Terra rex, I just what to say your race didn't deserve what happened to them" Terra rex halted for a moment. " I don't need your empty pity, now come my master awaits".

The pair remain silent as they walk along the golden path to the lake. To keep herself occupied Galaxia look around at the animals and plants. She was surprised, she had not seen most of these races in the longest time, some of them from a different time when peace was still a concept. Galaxia had doubts about this deal it was too good to be true

" Terra rex, are you sure your lord can end this war because I hate liars", said Galxaia with a frown and look down.

Terra rex let a hearty laugh. " He can do more than just end it, he can make it so that the daronques will never even dream of starting another war".

" I will believe it when I see it"

" Well you will, because we are here"

They arrive at the lake, Meteor is sitting at the edge of the lake staring at the golden water. His scythe lay next to him and his mask beside the weapon. " Master I have brought the queen as requested", terra rex with great respect as he bowed.

" Thank you, Rex, now then go back Athena and get everything ready for me," said Meteor as he put pick his mask back on and put his weapon back in its holder. " Understood," said Terra as digging back into the ground to depart from the lake.

" Now then I promise you something special didn't I".

" Yes you did but where is your man, I don't sense anything besides us".

" I think you just enjoy the show for now".

" What are talking...." Galaxia could not finish as the golden water start to rise and start to move. Patterns and shapes were being formed over the golden water like magic.

After the water settled Galxaia was shocked by this. " How that chaos magic"? Galaxia said in a shocked voice. "Only the dracoques should be able to use chaos, it impossible for any other being to control".

" You think too small my dear, the universe is a big place, anything possible. Now then allow me to introduce my man, you can come out of the water now". Torviathan emerges from the watering and floats back to edge the of the lake. Glaxaia look at him and grew a smirk on her face.

" It seems you keep interesting company, maybe you were not full of it. Okay Meteor you have my attention, so let's get down to business". Said Galaxia, Meteor snapped his fingers and conjured a pen and paper, and hand them to Galaxia.

" All I need from you is to sign this and keep your promise". Galaxia took the items in her magic and look confused.

"That's it, you are offering so much power to me, but it seems you're getting the short end"

" Think of this as an investment, that I think would lead to a huge payout"

" Okay then, but I have one condition for you Meteor before I sign this"

" What it is", said Meteor, Galaxia put on a dark face with fire in her eyes. " You bring that tyrant head, so I can mount it on my wall".Torviathan grew a smile and approach Galaxia and offer her his hand.

" I think you and I will get along just fine my lady". Galaxia lifts her right wing and shook his hand. Meteor was surprised Torviathan had never liked anyone so quickly. Meteor had a gut feeling that this might turn into something very interesting for both sides.

" Well pretty princess I think it's time you head home got to fight a war," said Torviathan

" You know sir Torviathanthe the last being that call pretty princess lost his head", said Galaxia with a smirk.

" I like your style queeny, I hope to see you on the battlefield".

" Don't worry Torviathan you will, now then queen Galaixa if you please the deal". Said Meteor as he gestured to the documents.

" Very well just don't forget my request", said Galaxia as she handed the document back to meteor.

" Don't worry I won't, now it's time to send you back home my dear", said Meteor as he opens a rift. Galaxia wonders about something that has her confused.

" Wait how we'll contact you when I need something"

" That easy, queeny simple contact my lord via telepathy, and he will hear," said Torviathan as he point to his head.

"That's right Galaxia all you need is to call me via mind link. Afterward, I will summon what you need."

"All right then I will take my leave then. See you soon, gentlemen, very soon on the battlefield", said Galaxia as she enter the portal.

[

"I sense a shift my lord", A giant horned shadow spoke in the darkness.

" Yes indeed my friend, it seems the skull of death is speaking to me. No matter soon my release from the cosmic well happen, then the true fun can begin," said a figure on a throne

" So what now, can we join in my lord, our bodies are throbbing for some mayhem". said two identical voice

" No, for now, send down Dai GUI, it is time for some wrecking. Also, get the rest of the disasters ready for combat, it going to be a long year", said the figure on the throne.

" As you wish dark king," said all shadows in usion

" Just wait alicorns, you will soon what true terror is"! said the dark king

So this chapter was me testing myself to see how well I can describe a character with my eyes only. I think I did good, but just in case I have a link to where I found Torviathan.

(Somewhere in the sea of time)

"Time ticks down to the final hour of endless. Swirling abyss with the dichromatic eyes! Resurrect from the deep darkness and burn everything in this world with your fire of rage! Come forth from the fire of doom! Come forth dragon of endless calamity! Hear your name and rise again, as the king of the violent oblivion ENDLESS!

A mystic spell of fire forms on the ground as it swirls into a firestorm. A shadow was seen in the center of the storm. The beast let out a thunderous roar as it spread its wing to the wind.

The figure who cast the spell emerged from the shadows to greet the creature it. This draconequus appear to have red fur with two brown wolf paws for hands. It had two bat wings coming out of shoulder blades, one was pitch black and the other was clear white almost see-through. For legs it had zebra legs with red and black stripes which were also the same color as its tail. It tail was that of a gator which was also the same color as its fur. Finally its head had the face of a wolf, antlers of a moose, and a red horse mane for hair. It carries at its side a gaint mace with spell seals all over it.

" Great one of fire and chaos, I Combustion ask for your favor on a blight that invades my mind", said the now name draconequus as he bow before the shadow in the firestorm. Endless eye look upon it spoke in a low voice

" Speak mortal, you already try my mercy" , Said endless in annoyed voice. Endless hate when mortals ask him favors. He rather burns souls with thousands of screams than listen to this.

" Apologize great one, last night I felt a wave of chaos unlike any other. It was unlike anything I have felt before, so I ask to feel its source in the flames.

"YOU DARE ASK ANYTHING OF ME MORTAL", The beast roared in fury. Combustion got down on his knee and threw up his hand in mercy.

"No great one I do not ask, I merely suggest you look for it you must be curious as to what this power is", Combustion said with panic in his voice. The beast let out a grunt as it contemplates Combustion. Maybe this worm suggests might be worth humoring after all power is power.

"Very well worm I shall use my flames to seek this power, but know this I expect to double the tribute after this," said Endless in a threating tone to Combustion. Combustion lowered his head to the ground and pray to the creature

" Thank you great one for your mercy", said Combustion in a joyous tone

Endless raise his arm to the sky and gather flame around it to format spear. He plunges the spear into the ground and it spread forming rivers of lava around the spell seal. The lava shoots toward Endless head as he absorbs it into his mind. After a brief time, something come out of his head it was a creature made of fire and it change its shape to that of a burning skull. Endless stared at the skull for what felt like an entire and let out a shocked reply.

"This is... the king marking. I-I don't understand... he has been gone for hundreds of years how could the skull of belhet appear now after all this time. Endless shock face so turn to joy as he let out a laugh of amusement. I see... so it begins at last. Worm... I believe that this joy I feel shall be payment enough. Unfoutrly for you, this is the last time you summon. You ask for my words so I shall you offer my advice or rather I will foretell your doom. If you truly well follow your king to the end of the chaos, be mindful of this. When your king sees true chaos... you and all who follow will face death that then can never escape from and all will drown in the depths of Crismon purgatory! HAHAHA! With that final laugh the fire cleared and that was Combustion as he stare with shock and anger.

The thread that holds the universe together, as well as the carpet material upon which the design known as history is written. From the beginning of the universe to its inevitable end, the great tree known as time grows skyward, its branches stretching in every direction. But that is not the case in this world. This world is in constant flux and will soon collapse.

Just as living beings have a set amount of energy that they can use to power their body for work, play, and productivity. So does the universe has only so much energy to maintain the holy balance on all worlds? Though a titan battle is happening on a gaint glacier in the far north that could destroy the balance forever.

Deep inside the gaint glacier caves, three alicorns are around a circle-like table each one wearing golden knight armor with five silver stars on each of their shoulder plates. The first to speak was the biggest of the three with an iron color scheme body and jet blue main with lighting streaking through his mane. His eyes were blue-like lighting he spoke with a thunderous voice.

" We are losing, as much I hate to admit we have no way to fight with our number in this glacier", said the iron alicorn.

" I know these monsters are tricky, they were made to fight here we are not," said an alicorn in a low raspy tone. This alicorn was ruby red with a cystral-like body ruby-like eyes and a clear white mane.

"We can't just give up Gemstone, if we lose here the enemy will control all the north in less than a week," said an alicorn in a concerned tone". This alicorn had a green mane-filled branch and leaf and had brown cat-like eyes that match her fur.

" What do you suggest we do Fauna, none of our plans are working. We lost four squads last time and now we have been pushed back to the cliffside. We don't have the manpower needed to fight back, with the hope of victory". said Gemstone with a spiteful tone.

" Gemstone, we can't just let them get past us. You know what they did to the south and west and you know it to thunderclap". Fauna said in a knowing tone

Thunderclap let out a sign. "I know you are right Fanau I have to have seen what Titans do to the land. But you have to understand there is a difference between guts and suicide"

"I don't think you two understand those monsters are not going to ask for a surrender! Then well not stop until they have killed us, had us for lunch, or worse" said Gemstone in a bitter tone

" Your right Gemstone but I just don't see a way for us to even survive through the night," said Thunderclap in a low tone. All three look down at the table in despair.

" What do we tell the troop Thunderclap," said Gemstone.

" The truth is often painful but not as much false hope. I will try the queen one more time for help if none come, we make our final stand at dusk understood".

" Yes sir we will go tell the troops, may order be with us all". Gemstone and fauna left thunderclap alone with his thoughts. Thunderclap was thinking of his life up to this point. He went through his mind to search for an answer to this battle but no answer was found. Thunderclap let out a sign and walk out to the cave entrance to look at the sea waves crashing against the side of the glacier.

" I fought in this war for ten centuries, I never thought this is how it would end back into a corner waiting for death. Well, I can't say I lived a good life all I know is blood, death, and battle. How pathetic I am, a soldier complaining about the war when it's my duty to fight. No matter if it is my time so be, after all, what have I got left to lose? Though to ease my mind it is time to call the queen for one last chance." Thunderclaps channel magic into his horn. After a while of charging he unleash a bolt of lightning out of his horn and sent it skyward.

" I hope our plea is heard, but I must prepare myself for the worse. Now time to see what I have to deal with."

The Queen was sitting on her throne reading documents given to her by messengers from all fronts of the war. Forests, rivers, oceans, mountains even the stars every place was a battleground. The troops were evenly matched on most fronts but the north was the worst case her troop are outnumbered and losing ground every day. Reading through the mission reports she knew there was no chance of victory against the enemy.

"What am I to do, every day is new destruction to the balance. That mad king is wreaking havoc all over the stars and planets it is like I am splitting myself. Why does war have to fill with so much death and turmoil?"

Galaxia thought to herself every decision she make put the weight of the world on them. One wrong decision can lead to slip and chaos can move on she must think carefully about everything. While also thinking of the cost it could have on her armies. Why is the balance so cruel to those trying to protect she wonders? The opening to her throne room breaks her train of thought. A gray alicorn with a jet-blue main ran up to the throne and bowed before the queen.

" Your majesty we just got a code red message from commander general Thunderclap. His forces are few in number and have been pushing back to the cliffside. The enemy is using the titan's monsters to devastate their troops and supplies. Then request immediate reinforcement, more supplies, and also titan killers. Your majesty, we also got notice that the stars are losing ground as well, what she we do?

" Let me think for a sec... ok how much can we send first to both companies?"

"Not much your majesty, both companies are extremely depleted then both need titan killers and many troops. Also, we only have one titan killer here and that is to guard you against attacks. We only have enough to send to one company and only a few squads with experience killing titans by themselves."

" That is not good enough! If we lose on either front we basically open the door for our enemies to march right here to our capital!"

" Majesty believes me I know but there is no way to help both of them. I fear this may be it, your majesty we may have just lost the war to those monsters."

With fire in her eyes, Galaxia knew there was only one answer but it was dangerous. That man's promise was great but she sense there was malice in him and that is a dangerous thing to have. He is an unknown with power that rivals chaos and his warriors are just as dangerous. Though she knows she has no other choice, evil must not have its way.

" No there is one way, but it may be dangerous".

" My queen, what do you mean?"

" I will call in an asset, send support to the stars. My asset will help Thunderclap and his force is that understood".

" Right away my queen, it will be done".

The messenger left to inform the troops of there mission to help the stars. Galaxia lifts the communicator in her magic and hit the target button. The devices flash red and sent a flash of light out the window. After a while a voice came from the communicator.

" How may I be of service to you Galaxia?"

" I need you to help my forces on Glaseado plains".

" A place of pure ice and snow. I know someone who can really go wild there, I will send her right away."

" See that you do, I can't lose the plains to chaos".

" Very well I tell her not to play around and don't forget the sacrifice".

" Yes I know but you only take one."

" Picky huh, very well I call for my sacrifice after the job is done."

" Just get it done." With that Galaxia hung up the devices and sign before going to a window. " Now let's see if you can perform as well as you talk.

Back in haven, Meoter was tending to the sunflowers outside his house. Seeing as the flow provides fake sunlight to the whole valley. He sees what well actually grow sunflowers that seem to last longer than all other flowers. As he was lost in thought pouring water from his can. Until a voice called from the flower table called out to the voice that held a chill to it.

" Master I am bored can you tell me what I am doing here already," said a girl the appearance of a 22-year-old slender and light-skinned human woman, with long teal hair that reaches down to her lower legs. She stands at around 5'9" and has an overall elegant and regal appearance. Her outfit consists of a layered, white dress, along with numerous white accessories in the form of a necklace, sea crown, and gold ornaments around her neck.

" Patience we need to wait for your pets, my dear Trishula".

The woman now named Trishula let out a puff of cold air and let her face fall onto the table and with a mumble spoke. " But master that could take forever my pets are always late when we are called by you."

" Who fault is that you know Trishula, you should probably listen to Athen about your anti-social behavior."

Trishula let out a huff and said. " Why should I listen to her master? She tell me to get more involved with my legions and not sit in my castle all day. I am an ice witch why would want to leave the cold embrace of my palace?

Meoter looks at her with a deadpan stare this is why he almost never calls on Trishula. She hates any mission that involves any kind of work she has a nickname in his army "lazy snowflake princess". Though since he know her for thousands of years he knew just what to do.

" Okay my little witch how about in exchange for doing this mission, I will give you the offering of a snow titan."

Her head shot straight up from the table and her open with a look of joy in them. " You mean it masters it been centuries since I have a meal like that, so when do we hunt the titans?

" Right now your mission is to go to Glaseado plains and hunted some titans."

With the look of a feral beast that is excited for the hunted. Trishula jump in the air and spoke words of a spell. "QAAL OVOM VOMSARG".

Trishula wave her arms in a step motion and did a twist. With her back now to Meteor, a tattoo on her back started glowing. She formed a tornado of snow, the tornado rips a hole in the sky and drags a beast out of the hole. The beast was a blue eagle with teal wings. The beast's armor consists of a blue metal claw for the talons, a white saddle, and a blue chest plate. The beast had a headdress in the form of a yellow crown, and green icicles around its neck. Trishula landed on its head and said.

"Me and Blizzard will now take our leave she hunger for the hunt I can feel."

" You girls GO have fun now."

With a grin, Trishula got on the saddle of her beast and snapped her fingers opening a portal. " You heard him girl let go feast", with a roar of agreement blizzard flew through the portal and it shut right behind them.

" That was too easy," Meoter said with a laugh.

The general was looking at his troop most were half dead. The rest look beyond tired and full of sickening effects happening to their bodies. He claps his wing together to get their attention.

"Okay everyone here is how it going to go. We are going to hold the monster here for as long as we can. Meanwhile, commander Fauna and Gemstone will fight the titans to push the line back until help arrives."

" Sir that is a suicide charge are you trying to get us killed!", cried one of the alicorn, a young man. " We are outnumbered and outmatched we won't even last an hour against those things!"

" Are you stupid soldier you know what at the stack we have to do something, or else the entire north will fall!" yelled another alicorn across the cave. " No I am not but what do you suggest we do we can't win."

" We have no recon, air support, or weapons left. Then have titans, shadows, and an entire guard of chaos it is a slaughter no matter how you look at it." said another injured alicorn on a bed

All alicorns start muttering of themselves about the plan. Seeing rank morale falling, Thunderclap motions for Gemstone to follow him into a corner.

" General I know what you are going to say and the answer is no," said Gemstone with a bitter voice

" I know but you must ease their mind, we have no other choice. We have to hold this position until help arrives or else"

" General you asking me to send them to their death? Look at them sir they are tired and scared it will only make them what to run! said Gemstone in a hurt tone

" I know but we have our duty we swore an oath to follow orders. Thunderclap let out a sign. I know this will not work the numbers don't lie, but this is all we got."

Gemstone looks at Thunderclap with cold eyes, her hooves trembling with frustration as she spoke with a forceful tone.

" Very well sir, see you on the battlefield", Gemstone walked back toward the troop to give her words to them.

Thunderclap took his helmet from his side and put it on his. The troop now forming lines to get ready for the upcoming battle. The only thing on every mind was fear and regret.

The alicorns march to the cave entrance where the shadows are based. You could cut the tension in the moral with a knife, but still, the general leads his troop to the battle. The sunlight came into view meaning that the alicorn were almost to the cave entrance. The general turned back to his troop giving the signal for the charge, afterword he took his sword out and march out of the cave fully ready for war.

After exiting the cave what was seen was nothing but a land blanketed in snow. The only form of civilization was a fortress of pure ice surrounded by thousands of monsters and two giant figures. The monster has black fur with bony spikes on its backs and arms, as well as white, bone-like masks with red detailing, it also possesses many bony plates on its back and limbs. The two gaint figures are massive quadrupedal monsters with small teeth, huge claws, and horns similar to that of a bighorn sheep. It also has a single horn in the middle of the other horns. One of them has bright white fur while the other has dark blue fur. Both stand at 253 feet with their tails swinging that have giant crystals attached to the end of them.

The monsters notice the alicorns and let out a howl getting the attack on the figure sitting on top of the fortress. Took out a telescope and look in the direction of the howl. Seeing the alicorn the figure form a girn on it. Taking out a horn it blew into the horn and sound the war bell. Afterward, the shadows started running toward the alicorns like a pack of wild beasts.

As Thunderclap charged the shadows of the forests with his men, he blast the shadows with his magic. Thunderclap looked up and saw gemstones and fauna flying past to attack the titans.

“Squad, on me!” he ordered. “We’re forming a barrier spell to hold the line!”

All the alicorn bolted from their position towards him, dodging incoming fire from above. All the squad made it to thunderclap unscathed and formed up around him.

“Follow my lead; we’ve cast the spell around the cave the building and clear every shadow we can till help arrive,” Thunderclap said.

"Yes sir"! said the troop in unison

With that, they all stomp their hooves on the ground and form a barrier of golden light. The shadows that touch it turn into black ash. Leaving the beast to use its spikes to poke holes in the shield.

" Sir then are poking holes in the shield, we may not last much longer," said one of alicorn soldiers.

" I know hopefully,the captains are holding their own against the ice titans".

Else where Gemstone and Fauna were battling the titans. Both alicorns were launching fire spells at the beasts, which only seem to make them mad. Both titans raise their tails and fired an ice beam at both alicorns. Then dodge the beams and use their swords to slash the beast's eyes. Before then could the white titan slash at the air tearing Gemstone's wing, Gemstone cried in pain. Fauna scream

" Gemstone no, you are going to pay for that with your head!" With a roar, Fauna went straight for the white titan's heart twisting her blade into the beast's chest. Causing the white titan to roar in pain before grabbing Fuana with claws. Holding the alicorn now it claws the tian and preceded to start tightening its grip around the alicorn. Fauna's bones began to crack as she let out a pain-filled. The dark blue titan began to approach the down gemstone intending to crush him. Gemstone closes her eye expecting his demise.

When he felt no pain, he slowly opens his eyes to see a white woman holding up the titan claw. The women look up at the titan's face.

" Wow lord Meteor was not joking, this going to be fun!"
