Chapter 3: Mysteries.
Everfree Forest was as ever very dark and gloomy feeling as the large group moved through the light undergrowth the two Unicorn guards moving a head of the group a little now eyes ever watching the forest and skies above them while also keeping the undergrowth from injuring or getting in the way of their Princesses.
"Are you sure its a good idea to go into the forest just to look for one pony? Its not really safe in here after all and there are dangers other then the animals." Fluttershy says in her soft voice walking along carefully next to Princess Celestia one eye flicking to look at Luna from time to time as if to make sure she didn't suddenly transform into Nightmare Moon, but otherwise looking up to Celestia.
"I think its safe to say that most of the animals within this forest are going to leave a group of this size along as long as we don't go wondering off alone or to deeply into their territory." Luna says head held high as she looks up to see two of the Pegasus' returning to give Celestia a report on what they had found so far.
"Princess we have found a well used trail a little ahead the others are scouting it now but we believe that it is the path, Mr. Night-sky uses daily going by the size of the tracks and trances of ebony hair caught on some of the brushes around it." one of the golden armoured Pegasus' says hoovering before Celestia when the group came to a stop to allow him to report.
"Excellent caption, please rejoin your troops in the scouting of the trail we well be following a little more carefully behind you." Celestia commands starting to move again everyone else falling into step around her Luna looking up at the sky to see what the time was as they couldn't afford to loss track of time after all she had a job to take care of at sundown.
The group moved carefully Applejack leading with the two Unicorn guards her eyes sweeping the forest carefully while Rainbow Dash was flying overhead reporting to the others the progress of the Pegasus guards ahead of the group, the other wielders of the Elements of Harmony remaining close to Princess Celestia while Princess Luna talked softly with Twilight about her training, the young unicorn walking between the two Princesses.
All conversation stopped however when there was a flash of light from up ahead of the group Rainbow Dash flying back to the group at a pretty quick speed for her coming to a stop right before Celestia, Applejack only a few lengths behind her while the two Unicorn Guards she had been walking with rushed ahead to see if they could spot anything.
"Princess Celestia I don't know what happened but the four guards were a little a head of me when they seemed to run into some kind of invisible wall that exploded into a bright light before I saw them all laded out on the ground none of them were moving, but I could just make out that they were still breathing." Rainbow says in one breath hoovering before the white Alicorn.
Celestia and Luna both looked ahead of everyone at those words both closing their eyes a moment later as their horns started to flow with power, Celestia's eyes opening wide first Luna only a few moments behind her as they just look at the trail ahead.
"Those are some powerful wards to prevent intruders, yet why couldn't we detect them before now? In-fact I have never felt wards like this before sister." Luna asks Celestia without turning to look at her older sister eyes fixed on the point a head of them.
"Nor have I Luna but I can feel damping ward over the main wards only just though, that is why we couldn't detect it before now, its feels weak but really is a very strong ward." Celestia comments starting to move forward again looking down at Twilight who was concentrating hard on her own detection spell while also slowly walking forward.
"I can feel it... only just though." Twilight says after a few moments her friends falling into step with her as they trailed behind the two Princesses.
"The fact that you felt them at all my student is a good sign of your own skill in the magical arts, most normal Unicorns wouldn't notice them at all until it was to late." Celestia comments coming to a stop just behind the two Unicorn guards who were on the edge of a large clearing looking down at the four unconscious Pegasus but were unable to get to them because of the ward they could all feel now and even then that was only because they were standing right next to them.
The clearing was free of trees and low ground bushes leaving only a large stony field, a large archway in the middle of the field caught everyone's eyes as it was made from some unknown black stone, a small stream ran off to one side of the clearing showing where fresh water was for their wayward Unicorn to drink, a large tent next to the archway was the only other thing within the clearing a cooking fire with a pot of unknown substance bubbling away just in front of the tent flap.
Before the group could work on the wards that were preventing them from getting to the injured guards a smell that anyone who had grown up within Ponyville or had spent a lot of time near any wild forest greeted the groups noses the sound of wood grating ageist wood sounded a moment later as a howl sounded simile from all around the group.
"Temberwolves... a lot of them." Applejack says softly turning to stand more side on to allow her to quickly spin around and buck any that might come jump out of the surrounding trees and brush, the two still standing guards moving forward there horns glowing with energy as they got ready to defend there Princess should the wolves attack.
"We can't run as they have us surrounded by now, the only good thing is that because of the wards behind us they can't get at us from that direction but also the ward are blocking our only possible retreat... what should we do Princess Celestia?" Twilight asks softly her own horn glowing with energy as she got ready to defend her friends should it come to violence.
"Be calm my little pony's I'm sure they well move on once they realise we are a fairly large group they should think twice." Celestia says calmly an aura of light and positive energy seeming to come off of her body calming down everyone including Fluttershy who had nearly gone stiff in her fear and was moments away from fainting.
Before anyone could say or do anything else a pair of glowing green eyes appeared within some of the bushes more appearing just as quickly as a single wolf that was easily the size of Celestia herself stepped out of the darkness and bushes his sharp wooden splinters for teeth showing for all to see as it ran forward to pounce on one of the guards the rest of the pack only taking a moment to howl there challenge before coming out of the brush.
The large wooden bodies that was the Temberwolves seemed to move and blend in quickly with the forest around the group as one of the guards throw the one to lunge a him into a tree with a blast of magic the wolf slamming into the tree and breaks apart into defiant blocks of wood only for a black like smoke to rise up from the remains the green eyes still locked with the guard before the smoke sank back down into the remains of its body the wood starting to slowly pull itself back together while the rest of the pack charged forward now.
The fight started rather quickly as Applejack spun around and slammed her hind legs into one of the leading leaping wolf sending it crashing into a thicket of bushes not breaking it apart much but enough to keep it down for a few moments, the two guards worked together as a team one of them shielding the group as best he could while his partner picked up and throw one of the wolves into another smashing the pair to pieces while also rearing up and slamming his hooves into another.
Rainbow Dash dive bombed one of the wolves and managed to throw another one onto its back at her fly by after smashing up the one she had just dived on, Rarity stood off to one side with a simple shield spell up that Twilight had tough her protecting both herself and Fluttershy, Twilight on the other hand was picking up the odd large stone around her with her magic and using them to smash and knocked back any of the wolves that managed to get around the guards shielding spell.
Pinkie Pie however was a surprise for everyone on how she fought, first she pulled similarly out of no ware a cannon, no one comment on it as they had all seen at one time or another Pinkie pull something like this, the fact that the cannon fired party decoration also not surprising them although they all could do without the image of a Temberwolf that was a rainbow of colours and covered in ribbons.
Luna watched the fight for only a few moments before she seemed to vanish into a cloud of stary mist and shoot forward reforming long enough to buck a single hid leg into one of the larger wolves sending it crashing into one of the floating rocks that Twilight was controlling, not long after feeling her hoof connect with the hard wood that made up the wolf's body Luna turned back into her mist form and started to dart around the pack of wolves until another opening presented itself.
Celestia on the other hand didn't attack so much as defend as a number of even larger rocks and a few fallen trees lifted off the ground and started to float around the group a small smile forming on her face as Luna would appear long enough to either use her magic or her hooves to slam and kick the wolves into the floating objects the two sisters falling into the combat stile the pair had developed over years of fighting Discord then King Sombra as well as many other enemies over the century they had lived before Nightmare Moon come into being.
The group had to fall back right up ageist the ward line however after a few minutes of fighting as it looked like they had somehow gotten the attention of the largest pack of Temberwolves within the whole forest as they had smashed up a good half dozen of them but because of the shear numbers that the pack had thrown at them those half dozen had already nearly fully put themselves back together and were even larger then before.
"This isn't good sister... they are reforming faster then we can take them apart and we are both out of practices when it comes to combat." Luna comments reforming next to Celestia after knocking one of the wolves off of the attacking guard giving him time to get behind the barrier that Celestia had just thrown up to buy the group some time to think on what to do given the overwhelming numbers the enemy was throwing at them.
The wolves seemed to take a few moments to look over the group the few still putting themselves together quickly finishing up on as the whole pack started to move forward teeth bared and ready to rip and tear into the group, they came to a stop however when one of the larger wolves seemed to catch on fire and was quickly burned to ash within a mater of moments, the rest of the pack looking at the ashes of their pack mate before looking over behind the group of pony's they had been attacking.
"What is all this then? A group of royal visitors in the middle of the day? Doesn't anyone pay attention to the fact that I run a shop during night hours? And they have even brought with them the local pests." Came an unknown male voice from behind the group the sound of hooves clopping on the hard stone sounding a few moments later.
Everyone looked over there flanks to see the ebony black form of Harry Night-sky walking calmly towards the group a large black stone that looked to be the same as the ones used in the building of the portal in the middle of the clearing landing with a thud while he kept walking towards the group a shimmering of magic over his body being all they needed to see before on his back a pair of black wings that were partly played out the sunlight showing purplish tips along the wings edge, his horn glowing with same shade of purple as the wing tips, a creak sounded a moment later a whip made from fire appeared at his side and lashed forward passing the group and wrapping around the neck of another Temberwolf.
Harry seemed to look at the wolf he had caught before giving a evil looking smile showing that his teeth were a little pointed and not flat like a normal ponies in fact everyone had a momentary flash of Nightmare Moon with her own pointed teeth, but then again Harry's smile wasn't as threatening more a case of someone who was going to enjoy themselves in the coming activate, he pulled the whip back sharply pulling the wolf's whole head off and burning it to ash leaving behind a large wooden body that quickly fell apart the black mist that normally rose up from a fallen wolf not raising this time
"Ah the thrill of combat its been a while." Harry says softly suddenly jumping forward giving a single flap of his wings to land in front of the group the whip lashing around to creak just above the head of the leading wolf, the whole pack backing up not so much as at the sound as at the flames.
Both Luna and Celestia could only watch as this Alicorn that wasn't a member of their family seemed to duck and weave around the Temberwolves his hooves lashing out to either kick back or knock down any wolves that got close to him while the whip sliced though a few of the other members of the attacking pack.
/Sister have you gone and given me another niece or nephew while I was imprisoned for a thousand years? Or is he a totally unknown Alicorn and not related to us in anyway? / Luna sent by a telepathic message to her sister while also admiring Harry's sleek form and well toned muscles giving a shack of her head to get the images out of her at some of the things she and Harry could get up to as in her opinion he was a fine example of stallion-hood, Celestia on the other hand just gave her sister a look that clearly said no she hadn't had another foal while Luna had been imprisoned.
/That happened one time and please note that your original niece died a long time ago and that I have been tracking her line all this time and this young stallion isn't within that line at all, now lets just see what we can learn as it looks like the wolves are leaving... also stop drooling sister./ Celestia comments back to he sister stepping forward at the same time locking eyes with Harry who was now slowly walking up to the group the whip he had been wilding vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Harry looked around for a moment after the last of the wolves had ran off into the forest not welling to face him in a fight after he had burned to ash the leader of the pack, his mind quickly went to the problem of the fact that he had reviled himself as an Alicorn to everyone here within his clearing, he known he couldn't help it if his masking spell just happened to run out when he had first approached the group and he hadn't had time to redo the charm before coming to there aid, but it was still pain in the fact that it choose right that minute to ware off.
"Well I guess I have some questions to answer and you all look like you could do with something to eat." He says softly walking passed everyone his horn giving off a purple glow for a moment before the wards become viable for just a moment then vanished again from sight, "You can cross the line now so please follow me and I'll answer what questions I can."
Luna was the first to walk across the invisible line her head held high as she goes, her eyes however were on Harry with a slight spark of interest at what he was building in the middle of the clearing as well as just the pony himself, Celestia saw the way her sister was looking at Harry and couldn't help but give a small laugh as she know Luna was hoping to get to know this young Alicorn very well and maybe learn some of his secrets in one of three ways more then likely, one such way not being suitable around foals or even young pony's for that matter.
The six friends fallowed behind the Princesses while the Unicorn guards moved forward to help their fellow guards pulling them off towards the stream to treat both their injurers as well as their own, Harry flicked his head a little as a few bandages came out of the tent to fly over to the guards to help with any injures the Pegasus might have gained from falling out of the sky at the ward line, they would also teat each others injurers from the battle with the wolves.
Rarity looked around the clearing for a moment moving a little closer to the archway then the others for a moment making a note of the gem stones and strange writings carved or placed within the stone, the whole archway giving off a feeling of power but also seemed to lack it as if it was charging but hadn't enough to do what it was build to do, her attraction going to the tent however when she saw the flap open for a moment a full living room far lager then the tent itself only viable for a moment from her angle.
"Oh my goodness what a lovely tent you have here, how did you get it so large on the inside?" Rarity asks moving forward and lifting the tent flap with her own magic looking inside for a moment before looking over her flank at Harry who was slowly turning a wooden spoon within the bubbling soup of mixed vegetables.
"Enchantments from my home land mixed with a little I have learned sense coming to Equestria." Harry says turning his head enough to look at the lavender manned Unicorn with a small smile turning back to the pot he gave a nod before moving his head a little from side to side as a number of bowls came floating out of the tent arranging themselves around the fire as a ladle started to serve the soup to the eight main guests as well as himself.
"It might not be much but it well have to do and I hope you like it my dear fille." Harry says offering a bowl to everyone's surprise and going ageist tradition when both Princesses sat down to a meal he gave the first bowl to Luna then Celestia, "Do let me know if you want anything added to it." He comments after everyone had a bowl before them those who could use magic using a spoon to eat the soup slowly, Harry himself however waved his head back towards the tent as a small tray with slice cuts of cooked meat of a whitish colour of all things came forward as he dips the pieces in the stew and eats them slowly.
"Oh my you eat meat? I thought only the Griffins and Dragons do that sort of thing? Although I suppose there are others out in the world of Equestria who might do the same thing but I haven't meet anyone yet save for Griffins and Dragons and even then..." Pinkie Pie says in surprise looking at the white cubes of meat still talking and carrying on as everyone started to tune the hyperactive pony out, everyone however was watching as Harry raised one cube to his mouth and crewing it calmly without showing any sign of being sick like most pony's would be.
"I don't eat it often but from where I am from meat is a part of everyone's diet or it was apart of mine, but trying to find an animal that isn't intelligent that I can farm for food has proven to be very difficult, lucky the local fish meet that requirement." Harry comments going for another cube of meat only to have it snatched from his magical hold on it as Luna brought it to he own mouth a mischievous smile on her face as she gave a dramatic sigh and chew of the meat while looking at her slightly greening sister who hadn't been the one to over see the treaties with the Griffin tribes back in the beginning days of their rule over Equestria, and Griffin's like Pony's like to throw celebrations for any new thing to happen as such she had to eat a little meat at ever single one she had to attend or chance insult to the tribe.
"I don't see anything wrong with wanting a little change of diet every now and then my dear Mr. Night-sky, though my sister might disagree with us on that front." Luna says after she finished teasing her sister with her over doing it of eating a second cube of meat.
"Harry is just fine my dear fille, in fact all of you can call me Harry if you want," Harry paused here to see everyone give a nod of understand and agreement to call him by his first name, "Now I'm sure you all aren't here to talk about my eating habits, you want something otherwise you would have waited until sundown and then see me in my shop." Harry says turning back to look at Celestia who wasn't the only one looking a little sick at the sight of him and Luna eating the meat cubes calmly.
"Indeed we are here for something Harry but first I must ask what is it you are building here and why haven't I ever seen your wings before now?" Celestia asks putting her bowl down after finishing the last of the rather tasty vegetable soup, her thought going back to other times she had seen Harry in passing within Ponyville and she didn't recall seeing wings on him those times.
"As to the wings I use a masking spells as I hadn't seen many pony's with both a Unicorn horn or Pegasus wings and I didn't want to be thought of or treated like a Prince I decided to did my wings until such time as I was either found out or completed my little project here, hiding the wings also allowed me to do my little business without anyone asking to many questions on how I made my items after all a Unicorn making magical items is rare yes but not uncommon."
"And the Arch?" Twilight asks getting to her feet after finishing her own bowl of soup walking slowly while scanning with her magic the black stoned archway head tilting to one side before turning to look over her flanks to see what Harry would say.
"That would take some explaining, but I well say this much its not so much an archway as a bridge-way to cross something much more grand then a river or riven, or that is what I am trying to build if I only had the magical power to get those runes to fully charge but it is slow going with only myself charging it."
"What are you trying to cross if it isn't a river or riven?" Applejack asks walking to circle the archway now with the others only a few steps behind her, the two Princesses however remained seated near the small camp fire Luna watching Harry as he slowly got to his feet while Celestia was looking over the portal from her seat making a note of some of the runes as she wanted to see if the Great Magical Library back in Canterlot had anything on these runes.
"What do you fille's know of parallel dimensions?" Harry asks waving his head a little as a section of the earth rose up to form a flat surface, two circles appearing on the surface a moment after that one had the name Equestria under it while the other had simply Earth written there.
"Oh oh oh!... I know nothing." Pinkie Pie says jumping up and down only to stop dead and seat down one of her front hooves tapping her chin in deep thought, the others all giving a nod of agreement as they know nothing about parallel dimensions.
"In theory if one had the magical power you can travel between worlds were something is always defiant from our own for example one world might be where Discord wasn't defeated by myself and Celestia, another were a defiant race may have risen up to be top of the ladder and we pony's might be near the bottom, and yet another were Celestia here might have fallen to her own darkness within and was banished instead of me, of cause all of this is in theory." Luna says calmly getting to her hooves now and moving to look over the archway that Harry calmed to be a bridge and going by the images on the smooth section of earth raised to one side he believed that he could successfully bridge the void between two parallel worlds.
"Very good my dear fille, but I have to say its isn't a theory as I am not of this dimension, and I am only in this one because of a power mad dark wizard with abandonment issues not wanting to chance a fourth loss in a row to me." Harry says turning to fully face the group now the camp fire flaring for a moment as a image of something started to appear in the flames, "I'm about to show you what I looked like before arriving on Equestria."
Everyone looked at the fire for a moment only to step back or just look at the bipedal figure within the flames, it had short cut hair on its head only and stood upright, the two arms instead of hooves like a pony it had five varying length digits. It hair was the same ebony black as Harry's mane and body as well as matching emerald green eyes only the image's eyes had a pair of glasses perched on its nose.
"What a odd looking race... I take it that this is you before your came here meaning this is what a Stallion looks like for your species?" Twilight asks after circling the fire with the image within it still.
"A young one at that, I am only sixteen year old after all and by human standards that is very young, and yes that is the name of my people, humans." Harry says flicking his tail a little as a pair of figures appeared under the word Earth on the board behind him, a image for each of the pony races appearing under Equestria, "As to the females of the human race they look much the same only with... extra on their chest and defiant down stairs." Harry finished as the image changed to a young woman with bushy brown hair appeared in the flames her chest clearly showing what he meant by extra on their chest.
"Is that what we would look like if we went to your world Harry?" Rarity asks circling the image this time while the others stepped back, "If so then I would have to rethink all of my fashion designs as they would never do, not to mention that it is clear your 'people' ware cloths all the time and not just for special functions and parties."
"We also ware cloths to bed most of the time, the only time we are really naked is when we are washing or with a lover, I have to say though that it might be nice to see what you lovely fille's would look like in some of the lacy lingerie I have heard about, that is if you follow me and take human form on Earth." Harry says with a small smile as he looks at the image of Hermione Granger one of his oldest friends, he couldn't help but hope that what that pony he had meet while lost in the void between worlds was right and that she had managed to throw him backwards in time to a year or so back to before he had been thrown into the void allowing him a chance to get back home and finally defeat Voldemort without having to fight his way through a whole army hopefully.
Although he had sensed learned that time had no meaning within the void and he could have been trapped there for countless years before stumbling onto the white Alicorn with the light of galaxies within her mane and tail.
Celestia could only nod at what Harry had said so far as he was right defiant world meant defiant rules, she looked at the image for a the human girl before turning to look at the archway, 'The possibilities of this portal are great indeed and not just trade value but also knowledge... but we could also be letting in trouble that Equestria doesn't need, going to have to play this carefully.' she thought to herself before saying softly while turning her head enough to look at Harry.
"I am welling to make a deal with you Harry, in return for me helping you build and charge this bridge of yours I would like the secrets of your mirrors and most of your other enchantments you are selling in your store, as well as your promise that nothing well be brought through this portal that could be termed a threat to the ponies of Equestria."
Harry looked at Celestia for a moment before slowly getting to his feet and walking to the archway "I'll show you what I have to go through just to charge this portal a little and then you can decide if you want to help but I can say this much I wont let anything through that could harm this world as I have to admit I have grown to like the ponies here and hope to remain here after I have dealt with my dark lord problem back on my world."
Walking to stand before the archway his horn started to glow with the same purplish glow as before the runes all over the archway starting to glow themselves a few moments later but themselves but not as brightly as his horn, after a few moments he dropped to lay down head lowering a little as the runes glow faded quickly, not that any of the pony's in the clearing saw as they all rushed to his side.
"That took everything I had and I only moved the charge if I was lucky one percent... still over sixty percent needed to bridge the gap and even then... its only one way until a second archway is build on the other side."
"And by showing use this you also show how much more power is going to be needed far more then even Celestia's or my own combined in one powerful hit, it would take both of use months to charge this device if we also want to have the power to carry out our duties." Luna says dropping down to the ground next to Harry using her magic to angle his head to rest on her neck as she could clearly see it was taking everything he had to keep his head upright at the moment.
"That is why I have been charging it slowly by myself, this is why I didn't share the secrets of my enchantments as I need the money to buy the right kind of gems, and that isn't even counting the Mithril I need to reinforce the runes to hold magic better, after nearly a year of business I have only just managed to buy two half bars of that metal and it isn't anywhere near enough for this project." Harry finished with a sigh as his eyes started to close showing how tired he was now after the use of what was left of his magic from crafting the other night.
Celestia looked at Harry for a moment before turning her head a little to look at her sister who just looked back at her, nodding her head once Celestia turned to face the archway again and took a more steady stances head slightly bowed as her whole body seemed to start to glow with a soft golden light. "I'll arrange for the Mithril and gems to be brought to you Harry and provide what energy I can when I can and in return you provide the rune language you are using and how to make your enchantments as well as your oath that none well use this portal save yourself until such time as a true peace can be reached between our two worlds a far trade I would say wouldn't you?"
Harry looked at Celestia in surprise at the offer as the information he could offer them wouldn't be any where near enough for the amount of Mithril and gems he still needed, not to mention the magical power she was offering, that along would have been more then enough for the rune language he only know thanks to the white Alicorn he had meet in the void removing the piece of Voldemort in his scar leaving all of his knowledge for him to work through.
"I to well help in the charging of this archway as I must say it might be nice to see your world and learn a whole new stile of magic." Luna says getting to her feet and moving to stand next to her sister her body like Celestia's starting to glow with a soft cobalt blue.
"That is too much just to open the portal, my knowledge of runes and enchantments would only be worth a small part of everything your offering me." Harry says sharply trying to get to his feet only to fall back down again after only a few steps head bowing in defeat at how weak he was now, he should have know that showing them how much he was drained after only charging a single percent of the archway wouldn't of stopped the two Princesses from doing what they were doing.
"To gain a whole new world and stile of magic as well as possible trade at our hoof tips we are welling to pay this price, now you just lay there and rest." Celestia says as a beam of energy left her horn and struck the archway the whole thing starting to glow and not just the runes like they had done for Harry, Luna only nodded her head before adding her own magic to her sisters the whole arch being bathed in gold and blue light now.
"The Archway isn't finished yet don't put to much energy into it or it might self destruct and that would mean a years worth of work lost." Harry says head falling forward only to land on a throw pillow that Rarity had summoned from within the tent to catch his head.
"I wouldn't worry about that Harry, I'm sure Princess Celestia well stop before anything can happen that shouldn't, now you just lay there and rest I'm sure Rarity would enjoy talking to you about some of your clothing options you have for sale within your store." Twilight says smiling down at Harry who just looked at her for a moment and then nodded.
A few minutes later Harry having just told Rarity that yes he had been the one to head into the normal fields she looked for gem stones for her designs and yes he used them in his own designs and enchantments, the two Princesses stopped feeding magic into the archway everyone even the Earth Pony's who had the weakest magical scenes could all feel the energy rising now from the archway, yet still it didn't feel complete.
Hanging within the archway near its centre was a small warping of the air that seemed to be trying to change from the colour of the sky seen on the other side to something darker, almost like a section of the night sky was trying to come into being within the archway.
"Its a little under fifty percent charged if I'm reading these levels right, not bad considering the archway isn't complete yet." Luna says after the two Princesses stopped feeding magical energy into the archway, she had to admit that bringing the archway up another whole ten percent in the last few minutes had taken a lot out of her and she could only wonder how long Harry had been building this thing to get its energy levels to the level he had.
"Its going to take me a few weeks to finish up the archway enough for you both to add more power to it, also Princess Celestia I accept to the deal and well start writing up one of the written language of my world as well as the runic alphabet to add to your library, I'll also draw up the rune array needed to make the communication mirrors as well as most of my other stoke."
Celestia gave a nod to this before walking over to her guards who had been standing off to one side waiting for orders, "We are heading back now caption, I would however like for a few guards to remain within this clearing to make sure nothing happens to this archway until it is finished."
"Their is no need for that Princess, my wards are more then a match for anything within this forest and anything that could breach them is mostly on the other side of the forest so I'm safe and well protected." Harry says still laying on the ground his head held up now as he watched the Raiser of the Sun give orders.
"Then I'll leave it all in your hooves, do contact me through my student for when you are ready for another magical bust to the power." Celestia says starting to walk towards the trail back to Ponyville the others save Luna falling into step around her, "Planing on staying a little while longer sister?" She asks on noticing the missing cobalt blue Alicorn.
"Just long enough to make sure he gets into bed and stays there." Luna says using her magic to left Harry to his feet and then moved to his side helping guild the wobble legged Alicorn to his tent, "Go ahead sister I'll be fine." Luna called over her flank as the tent flap was pulled aside and the pair vanished from sight.
"Why do I have a feeling I'm going to see very little of my sister for a little while." Celestia asks herself while leading the group away from the clearing thinking on everything that had happened so far this day and on the new knowledge that would be available to her and all of Equestria in the coming weeks.
