The head guard walked up offering a small reassuring smile, "Princess DawnStar, Princess Moondancer, We simply cannot allow you to leave without protection, That's why we're coming with you..." I gaped at him, the tall lean Earthpony with silver storm coat color and and regal mane who was often so strict against my decisions was actually agreeing with me? "Very well SoulGuard, Your squadron's unicorns will combine their magic with mine to help me open the portal... I pray to the stars it works." They walked nto the room sighing in relief that the artifacts where mostly intact. I walked up to the mirror and began using the magical spell to open the portal to the past soon the other unicorns in the squad Smith along with techno combined their magical beams with mine, Soon a whirlpool of energy swirled wthin the glass of the mirror and the gateway was opened.
"This is it!" I called "Everypony bite the tail of the pony in front of you and don't let go we don't know what time we'll end up at. We have to hope it is before the windigoes. Now jump!" We leapt through the swirling mass of energy and magic as soon as our tails where connected to the other pony it felt like we where flying but standing still and spinning all at once, it made me nauseous as the swirling finally came to a stop and we landed with a hard Thump! on the ground.

I shouted and ut of the corner of my eye i saw a flash of scarlet and black dashing into the woods... I shook it off as nothing and help moondanser stand to her hooves. " thought we went to the past not future... Luna's and Celestia's old castle had been restored for many moons now... unless this was before it was restored... Then we might be in bigger trouble than i thought. Cause that would mean we'd be in..." I looked around shuddering now...Kanjo looked at me concerned... "We're in what!?" He cried out. "The everfree forest..." I said with fright The royal guard ponies took positions around us to guard us while WindDasher Flew up to look for ponyville. "It doesn't look very far... We should make it before nightfall if we don't stop and go straight." Just the i caught sight of a figure walking towards us. "Stick to the path for if you don't, In trouble you'll be with the warcolts..." Said a female voice as the hood fell back to revel a Zebra... "Warcolts?" I asked...
