Leon, having remembered the inscription, retrieved the amulet from his back, opened the box, and placed it on. Don, seeing this, stared in surprise at the amulet. "What! Impossible! I had that amulet destroyed long ago!"

"Might want to check what else you're wrong about then." Leon locked the amulet around his neck. The amulet, having sensed the one who put it on, shone a bright red and orange color. Leon then glowed with it, floating up into the air, stretching his wings out. He instantly grew in size, about the size of a full-grown stallion. His hide changed from the light silver-gray it was to a bright golden-yellow. His mane and tail caught on fire. His eyes changed from the calm, golden color they were to an angry, fire red. His wings were now larger than before, and before he knew it, he had undergone a powerful transformation. He had become a Phoenix Warrior, the guards of the royal family.

The Tyrant, now watching in surprise, held his ground against Leon. Leon shot through the air faster than sound, gathering a huge trail of fire. He tackled Don down to the ground, beat at him with his forelegs, and kicked him with his hind legs. Don regained his strength, and shoved Leon off. Leon quickly recovered, and roared in the voice of a ferocious and angered lion. He landed on the ground, and readied a charge by striking the ground with his hoof. Don, now recovered from the barrage of strikes, stood up now. His anger flared all over, judging by his mane flaring in black and red.

"Get out of here. It's going to get bloody," Leon ordered his friends. Something was different about his voice. It was deep, commanding, frightening. They complied without hesitation, and left Trotter Tower.

Leon then turned his attention on the demonic stallion, who had readied himself to charge. They stared each other down. One stallion whose eyes were red with black streaks and one whose fire red eyes remained calm. They both charged at each other, travelling at full speed. Leon then smirked, and sprung his trap. He opened his wings, flew low to the ground, and tackled Don. He then lifted Don up with the momentum from his flight, and flung him to a column in the center of the building. Tyrant Don tried to stand up, but was too weak. Leon approached the stallion, and struck a hard blow to Don's muzzle with his foreleg. The blow caused Don to knock out, and he lay bleeding from his mouth.

Leon then shone the amulet on Don, who now lay there unconscious, bruised, and bleeding, and placed a curse on Don with the ring of fire that blazed off his tail and mane. Leon then looked down at Don. "You have been trapped here by my fire. I don't know how long it will last, so listen closely. I will come back when I find the Spirits, for it is impossible to kill you now. And I will have the prince personally execute you for your resistance against him! Understand this, as the will of the prince!" Leon's voice was deep, powerful, and threatening to Don.

"You... fool... you can't... kill... me." Don coughed and hacked weakly.

Leon turned back to him. "Like I said, I won't kill you. That honor is reserved for the prince. But for now, consider this death row."

Don fell back into unconsciousness. Leon, satisfied with the tyrant weakened, took off into the air, and stopped at the top floor. Leon had then set the entirety of Trotter Tower's interior on fire. Finishing that, he finally left Trotter Tower, and shut the doors so that no pony would know what had happened. He shone his amulet on the door, and fashioned a lock made of fire. When he left, he removed the amulet, returning him to his normal colt state. He then placed the amulet back in the box. The other young ponies came running up to him, amazed by what they just witnessed. They asked him about his transformation, his attack on Don, and about the amulet. Instead of answering their questions, he informed them about what they would have to do.

"We have to find these Spirits. We should start with the ones around here first, and then head to Canterlot to find the others. We don't have much time, maybe two or three years before the fire burns out. I know what happened to me in there, but I know I can't defeat him alone. Would it be all right to start the search tomorrow?"

"Yeah!" they all shouted. They all hugged each other, and headed to Leon's house.

Leon welcomed them inside, and asked them to make themselves at home. Draco came out of Leon's room, and welcomed him by licking him. Leon laughed and placed the dragon next to him on the couch. He went into the kitchen, and a few minutes later came out with six sandwiches and a cup of quartz. He handed each pony a sandwich, and placed the cup of quartz in front of Draco. He then proceeded to enjoy his sandwich. All the other ponies tasted their sandwiches as well, and when they did, their eyes widened. He instantly thought that they did not enjoy their sandwiches, but they then devoured their sandwiches in one more gulp.

"Amazing! What is in these sandwiches that make them so delectable?" Percy asked.

"Well, shut my mouth! I do declare that these sandwiches take the cake! Don't y'all agree?" Annabelle exclaimed.

"Oh, it's nothing really. I put a small sugar cube in every sandwich I make," Leon explained. "Up in Cloudsdale, we would make sugar all the time. We still do that here."

"Leon, these sandwiches are delicious. I just love a colt who knows his way around a kitchen," Chloe said.

"Yeah! These sandwiches are incredible!" exclaimed Cloud Runner.

"It really eases my mind," said Doc.

"Yeah. Me too. The reason we came here is so that we can discuss which Spirit we should try to find first. Wisdom, freedom, love, persistent, towards better things, and rebirth. I was thinking the wisdom one may be the easiest to find, so we should do that one first," Leon explained.

"Maybe. Where would Caelum Lux's smartest ponies meet up?" asked Percy.

"I don't think we can stay here for too long. After all, the spell we placed will wear off," said Doc. "otherwise we may get stuck up here with no way down."

"Yeah, I hear ya. Might want to head down now, it's getting late anyway," Cloud Runner advised.

"Yeah, I'm fixing to hit the sack soon. Tomorrow, I reckon I'll help y'all search for this Wisdom Spirit. I'll be getting along now. See ya!" said Annabelle. The other ponies said their goodbyes, except for Chloe...
