The landscape went buy in a multicoloured blur. Ari held tight to Tierza's mane. Jenny was close behind, her long legs propelling her, and her hooves pounding the dirt. The palace came into view. They halted outside the gates. "Open!" She shouted and guards came to let them in. "Find Finn and bring him to me." She told the nearest guard. He nodded. Tierza ran to the Mews with Jenny at her heels. Tierza stopped and Lori came rushing out with Finn beside her. "What's wrong?" Lori asked, "Jenny?" She said when she saw the unicorn. She nodded and Lori ran over and put her arms around Jenny's neck. "Something evil is out there somewhere." Jenny told Lori and Finn, "My father has returned and he wants his thrown back." Finn looked puzzled and Lori looked horrified. "What is bad about that?" Finn asked. "He was a member of the Shadow Herd." Ari explained. "Oh." Finn said mirroring the look on Lori's face. "We need to get back to the Forest of Ardit." Jenny said pacing back and forth with Lori still clinging to her. "I will be back in one second." And Ari dashed off. She ran up the stairs to her room and opened the door. She looked around and found what she was looking for. She grabbed it and went downstairs. She burst outside and back to the Mews. Everyone looked at what she had in her hand. "Scepter! Wake up!" She cried shaking it. It looked at her. "I'm awake, you think I could sleep after you snatched me up like that?" It said in its huffed voice. "I need your help." "I know." It said irritated. "What evil is out there?" Ari said looking at it. It sat in her hands almost cold. She shook it. "You can't leave me again," she cried. "I'm not, just trying to make you remember how important I am." It smirked. Ari glared at it. "I do not know who it is, but I do know that it is stronger then the Shifter ever was, even with the Indigo Star." Ari looked at it and then cried, "Atlanta! Help us!"
