Chapter 4

White Marble Castle

As it had take two days to get to the kingdom of White Horse Lord passing mountains and through the rivers as they arrived and saw a huge white castle "Welcome to White Marble Castle for it is all white and lest than five miles away the once pride city of it called High Horse City" said the soldier as they walked on to the castle.

...

As they came to the gate the girls couldn't believe how huge the gates where as the gates open to a city with in the castle there was ponies from Earth, Pegasus and unicorns there was horses all moving about in this small city.

They where leaded up hills as the city goes upwards as they passed like five huge gates in the city itself. They climbed the last stairs and saw a building with huge doors and a fountain in the middle of this what looked like a court yard and they saw a statue of four ponies two which Celestia and Luna knows their mother and father and the two other one they did not know but these two other one where taller and had a much more longer wings and longer horn.

"Please this way" a soldier said leading them through one of the huge doors as the room turned out to be a throne room there was two huge thrones chairs in the colour of gold, green and yellow "they will be here soon just wait here" said the soldier and left them alone.

"Why do you think they need huge doors dear sister" Luna asked looking at one of the windows the window was showing Celestia and her Father holding a sword through this dark cloudy pony.

"I don't know but we are going to get answers to what we want to know" Celestia said with a determine face on her.

"Probably because we are the tallest things you will see" said a males voice coming behind them all as they all had shock look on them not knowing that some pony was behind them as they turned to see two huge ponies with long wings and long horn longer than Celestia herself both wearing golden crowns on their heads the male one who spoken was a the most whites thing they ever saw even his tail and mane is white and the one on the left was deep brown and with white mane and tail they had no cutie marks on them.

"Please calm down let me introduce ourself my name is King High Wise and this is my wife Queen Knowledge we knew you would arrive soon and that you might want to ask some question so please let eat I think you might be starving we can talk over dinner" as I pointed to a table full of food as we walked to the table me and my wife sat next to each other.

"I like to go first what is this war all about" asked Celestia as her plate was being filled with food.

"Yes you see long before you where born Earthacorns and Alicorns and other race where living in a peaceful time but that wasn't the case for the Orks and their master Dark Lord we offered them peace to live amongst us but they turned it down and went to live in the Bad Lands and he forged a powerful crystal deep in the main mountain fire there it would serve under him and only him it gave him unimaginable powers then the war was called upon we all made an alliance I knew you mother and father too well they where the ones who helped make this alliance work the war it self lasted for three thousand years it had spread on all different kingdoms we then managed to trap them back home in the Bad Lands we asked them to give in but still no so we fought you father was the one who killed Dark Lord himself as the Orks ran away the war was over but the crystal was lost we couldn't find it to cast it back into the fire from where it came from" I said to them and started eating at the food on my plate.

"Okay that actually answers everything but what are you" asked Luna as she looked back at us.

"My Luna dear we are the most powerful living thing on this planet we are five things Earth ponies for their strength we are the strongest around, Pegasus for their wings but we have the longest wings and are the fastest flying around, the unicorn magic we are the most powerful ponies alive as our horns are the longest you will see, Alicorn for their immortality but we have one thing that Alicorn don't hold and that is to cheat death itself Alicorns can still be killed but Earthacorns are a lot harder to kill we know things before it happens just that we prefer to keep it to ourself and the last one is the horse for the hight but we are the tallest thing living the now" my wife said to them as I finished eating up two apples.

As I looked at them "you see we also have other things we can do we can take away any ones immortality but we can't give it to any one and we last much longer in battlefields but just like you we are the last of the great Earthacorns" we all finished our dinner and walked out side of the cool night air "I have spare rooms for you all to stay in for now ask for anything you want my general will lead you all to your room and he will make sure you all are safe and have everything you need" as I pointed to him as we watched them left I looked at my wife as we walked to the library to talk in privet.

…

Celestia and the other where in their room Twilight was shown to the library as she open the door she heard talking as she wasn't for one to listen in but she heard her name being mentioned "Lover dear we have to face the facts that she might be the one who we have been looking for".

"I know but it isn't right taking a young mare like her and putting her through this task she isn't ready" I was saying to my wife.

"I know know it is hard but she has to it is our laws of the Earthacorns think about it the crystal doesn't harm us it doesn't trick us into returning it back to it master she is like us so she has to" as I interrupted her there.

"But still it isn't right to do this Twilight has friends and she still young we can't take her freedom away from her and what about Luna she was to be your student" as I said looking at her.

"Yes I know but this is different you know that when we promised their mother and father to be their daughters guardians and I have taken Luna as my student I know she will have to move over here from now on" my wife said to me looking me in the eyes "so what is it to be Twilight become one of us and her freedom taken away and Luna to become my student where she will live over here from now on".

As I knew this was true it even our law that Earthacorns have to stay next to each other from now on as I look at my wife "Okay she will be told and your student Luna as well" as we both smiled and as I saw the door opened as I rushed to it there was nothing only a soldier doing his guard "Soldier did you saw any pony through here".

"No my king" he bowed his head.

...

as I left the library to go to the tallest tower where a soldier was with wood and oil was and a torch "We can't fight this war alone light the beckon" as he did and the wood that was stacked up was lighted as I saw way in the hills other beckons where being lighted up "Good now it just a matter of waiting for them to arrive I am heading to sleep now" as I left the soldier in the tower.

...

Twilight had run back to the others and told them what she had heard about her and Luna as they couldn't believe it if it was true or not but they did made one thing clear they will ask them in the morning.

…

Back in the Kingdom of War Horse Fluttershy was out side in the night air as she saw a light in the night sky as she had asked one of the soldier "It the beckon the White Marble Castle the king and queen is asking for help" as the soldier rushed off to tell the king.

As the king heard him shouting he looked around and brought a smile "then War Horse will answer get ready our troops we make hast for Edam Deep" as soldier where rushing around "Sargent gather what all forces you can and meet me there at Edam Deep then we make for White Marble Castle it will be two days travel.

As they all rushed out with the army along with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie all started running down the road to Edam Deep.
