Not too long after Bray had been captured, Princess Celestia was informed of this. She for one was surprised that he could be alive after a millennium; she figured that Grogar had to grant an immorality spell on him.

Bray still being tied up, was brought into the castle's library used as an interrogation room. Rocky being the good cop and Pinkie Pie being the bad cop.

A spotlight shines on Bray, temporarily blinding him. Bray shifted his eyes left and right, seeing Pinkie Pie pouring herself a cup of coffee, giving her an angry glare, while Rocky sat in his chair in a calm manner.

"Comfy?" Rocky asked, Bray didn't answer his question and just stared at the two ponies in front of him. "Can I get you anything? Juice? Tea? Or maybe some coffee, is she didn't already drink most of it."

Pinkie proved his point by refilling her cup after every sip.

"I would like that tea," Bray finally answered. That caused the pink earth pony pull the donkey close to her face.

"And how do you like it?! Do you like it black like your heart?!" Pinkie said in a really stern tone. Then returns to her usual bubbly self. "And would like some sugar in it? I mean, I like mine with lots and lots of sugar in it."

Rocky just stared at Pinkie with a face that is telling her to be serious, so she returned to her angry looking face, not going to be distracted again.

"Try all you want, ponies," Bray said, "nothing you say is going to break me."

"We only want you to tell us what you onow," Rocky said.

Pinkie slammed her hoof on the table, "Tell us about Tambelon! How do we get there?!"

"You better tell us," Rocky said, "I can't control my friend when she gets like this."

"Is this about all those ponies we took, right?" Bray admitted. The donkey chuckled as they knew that he hit the nail on the head on that one. "You're probably thinking that I'm going to help you get into Tambelon and betray Lord Grogar so that you can rescue them from his imprisonment."

Bray laughed right in their faces. Applejack glared at the donkey with anger. She wanted to beat Bray up for what he did so badly; she tried to keep her cool, but she couldn't stop thinking about her parents, knowing how miserable they must be.

Rocky pulled out a picture of Silver Stone and placed it on the table. "You recognize this pony here?" Rocky asked, Bray looked at the picture. "This pony has vanished months ago."

"And why would that phase me?" Bray questioned not caring.

"Because, his wife is pregnant," Rocky answered, "And by the time that his foal is born, it'll grow up not knowing who it's father is."

"And that is something that a hooded donkey meanie head can do!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, grabbing him.

"How are you getting into Equestria?" Rocky asked.

"It was through a spell," Bray answered.

"What is that spell?" Rocky asked.

Bray chuckled, "Grogar and his soldiers are the ones who can the spell to get in and out. I was only sent to retrieve the broken horned unicorn, but after learning of another alicorn princess, I thought that I would get double the kudos. And after I escape, I will bring them to my master and regain his favor."

Rocky and Pinkie looked at each other and left the library.

"This just got even more difficult than ever," Rocky said.

"Can't ya just make him tell us the spell to get us to Tambelon?" Applejack asked.

"Even if we did, it probably won't do any good since we don't know what spell Grogar used to get out in the first place," Rocky stated.

"If anypony can figure it out, Twilight can," Applejack pointed out, "she can figure it out before ya can say 'lickety split!'"

"She's right," Pinkie added, "she can!"

"I understand that you want to see your parents again, Applejack," Rocky stated, "but, you can't let your emotions cloud your judgment. But we're going to need a miracle if we're get what we need."

"I have got it!" Twilight exclaimed from another room. "Everypony meet me in the throne room!"

Everyone met with Twilight in the throne room, and everypony wanted to hear what Twilight had found out.

"What did you find out?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Please let it be good news."

Twilight answered, "I managed to translate some of the ancient Equestrian launguage from the page that Spike found."

"Alright!" Pinkie Pie cheered, "Does that mean that we can finally go to Tambelon?"

"It should," Twilight said.

"What does it say?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight began reading, "The earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns are at each other's throats. The windigos will soons come feed on their hatred and distrust for one another, unless they put their differences aside then this land will be forever be blanketed with ice and snow. That cannot be allowed to happen!"

Everypony all knew what that was, it was when the three pony tribes all despised each other and before they set off to find Equestria.

"That was only an entry that somepony wrote down," Twilight explained, "it doesn't say who wrote it or which tribe wrote it. But, whoever wrote this definitely was right about the windigos."

"Is there anything else on how to get to the Dark Realm, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Twilight shook her head, "I still haven't gotten that far. But I'm far from giving up."

Everypony sighed as their search will take a little longer than expected, but, they had to have faith in their friend.

Meanwhile in Tambelon, Grogar sent a guard to fetch Roland from the cell is was currently in. As soon as the guard returned, he placed the unicorn before Tambelon's ruler.

"Good work," Grogar praised, "you may leave now."

The guard bowed as he returned to his post, leaving the two of them alone. Roland and Grogar looked at each other, then Grogar removed Roland's restraints.

"You have been giving this some thought, I trust?" Roland questioned.

"Tell me what you know about the alicorns other than Celestia and her sister," Grogar demanded.

"Of course," Roland said respectfully, "First their is Princess Cadence, the Princess of Love, she spreads love throughout Equestria. And their is Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship."

Grogar's suspension was proven true afterall. He had sent his forces to search the land as a precaution, but as his patience grew short, he had to consider his word.

Roland spoke again, "But there is a fifth alicorn in Equestria as well."

"What?!" Grogar exclaimed. "What is her title?"

"She doesn't have one, because she is only an infant. A natural born alicorn."

"Impossible!" Grogar roared. "An alicorn cannot be just born! Explain how is it possible!"

"Alas, I'm afraid that I do not have the answers that you seek," Roland explained, "even Celestia and Luna don't have the answers for it as well."

Grogar was dumbfounded at this new bit of information, but he still wasn't willing to take any risks.

"You said that you can give them to me, correct?" Grogar questioned.

Roland nodded, "Yes. I can begin with the Princess of Friendship and her friends as an added bonus. In her possession is a map table that is connected to every part of Equestria."

"A map table, you say?" Grogar asked with curiosity.

"Of course," Roland answered, "the princesses and the table will be yours."

"And how do you plan to that?" Grogar questioned.

"Why, I will provide a spell that shall release you and your minions from this prison," the unicorn said. "I have in my possession a very peculiar spellbook; the only one of it's kind in existence. It shall have the necessary spell to release you, but I need to gain access to it to guarantee your freedom."

Grogar paused as he looked at Roland very cautiously, not trusting him for a second; but he had to consider that he was telling the truth, or the possibility that he is only saying this so that he could escape.

"Very well," Grogar said, "I will allow you to return to Equestria to read your little spellbook, but I will send one of my soldiers to accompany you."

"Not one for taking chances are you?" Roland asked.

"I am not," Tambelon's ruler admitted, "if you are lying, then you will die for your deception."

"I accept your terms, Lord Grogar," Roland said as he bowed his head.

Grogar called for one of his soldiers, and it happens to be the one that Roland manipulated into catching him. "You shall go with him to Equestria. And you will watch him closely as well."

"Of course, my lord," the soldier said bowing.

Grogar used his dark magic to open the gate to Equestria and the two of them entered through. Once in Equestria, Roland used his magic to teleport them back to Manehattan to prove himself to Grogar. Little did he knew, Roland had a plan of his own.
