"Who was that Alicorn, Tia," the worried moon princess asked.
Princess Celestia put away her quill and parchment, "This is a happy day, dear sister. Prince Daniel and his kingdom have finally come back into being."
"Sister, I don't like this Prince Daniel, in my dream he was… frightening," Luna stated as the two alicorns trotted to the throne room.
"Indeed, Luna, when I first met Prince Daniel you were just a foal, so you would have no memory of him, but he was a kind soul for a Prince of Chaos," Celestia replied in an understanding tone.
The two sisters sat on their moon and sun decorated thrones.
"Celestia, please, I implore you. This is no day to celebrate. Have you not any prophetic dreams," Luna pleaded.
The sun princess looked thoughtfully at her sister.
"You truly believe that Prince Daniel would harm this land and everyone else," Celestia asked.
"Yes," Luna replied with steely resolve.
With a sigh Celestial said, "Very well, I suppose it was foolish of me to think that with a kingdom of chaos brought forth nothing sinister was bound to happen. We will approach this with more caution than originally planned."
Luna smiled appreciatively at her sister as the throne room doors opened to reveal the entrance of Twilight, Discord, Spike, their friends and a strange new black unicorn with a bejeweled book in her mouth.
Twilight trotted up to Celestia, "I'm sorry we got here so late Princesses. We got a little side tracked."
Luna eyed the strange unicorn, "I see…"
"No matter, Twilight, what is important is that you're hear. I'm sure you have noticed the strange new land that had just came to be," Celestia asked.
"Yes we did, who is this King of Chaos anyways," Rainbow Dash questioned.
"Prince Daniel isn't a true king yet and I'm surprised that Discord hasn't told you more about his homeland," Celestia replied with a bemused smile at Discord.
The draconequus looked away with a huff, "Well, I didn't want too."
Joy spat out the book and glared at Discord, "Then why did you make it seem it was a horrible place to be in."
"Because it is," Discord said glaring back.
Celestia shook her head with amusement, "The land of Chaos is home to beings with strange powers and stranger people. It was a sort of refuge for beings of all types to go to back in the days of old. Accepting new things was harder for ponies to swallow back then."
"Oh, how sad," Fluttershy uttered sadly with nods of agreement from everyone else.
"Uh, Princess, why did tha land of Chaos disappear," Applejack asked.
"No one really knows why, many suspected a traitor or an outside force that fell with the kingdom. And that is why you must go. You're to see if the land of Chaos is back in peace or in malice. I'm sure your map has pointed you to where you need to go," Celestia stated.
"Yes, Princess," Twilight replied.
"Then you must be off," Celestia pronounced with a flash of her horn, saddlebags appeared before the seven ponies, "Discord I expect you to be their guide."
"Why?"
"Because you are the only one in this room that has lived there," Twilight answered for Celestia.
"And if I don't want to come," Discord grumbled.
"Please, Discord. I would feel so much better if you came with us," Fluttershy requested quietly.
"Mmmmmm, oh all right then," huffed Discord.
"And I'm coming too," Spike stated.
"No Spike. I need you in Ponyvile to keep an eye on things and have everything running smooth," Twilight rebuked.
"Ah, come on Twilight. Remember the last time I was left in charge," Spike replied.
"Yes Spike, but most of the things that happened weren't all your direct fault and I believe that you are capable of learning and putting forth what you have learned," Twilight pronounced kindly.
"Okay then."
With a flash of her horn Twilight sent Spike back to Ponyvile.
"One more thing before you go," Luna said, "Might I ask to see that book you have… uh"
"Joy. My name is Joy Lockhart," Joy replied nicely before picking the book back up with her mouth and trotting it over to the moon princess.
"My dear, why don't you use your magic," Celestia questioned as Luna took the book out of Joy's mouth.
"It's a long story, your majesty," Joy replied awkwardly.
"Celestia look," Luna called to her sister.
Celestia gave the book a hard long look then turned to the little red headed unicorn, "Where did you find this?"
"In a book store," Joy replied nervously.
"Do you mind if we keep it," Celestia asked.
"Not at all."
"Thank you, but you have dawdled here too long. Discord…," Celestia said.
"I'm on it, I'm on it," Discord replied.
Then with a snap of his paw and a flash of light the eight of them were gone.
"This is truly a bad omen, Luna," Celestia told her sister.
"The Book of All showing up here of all places with that strange creature," Luna stated.
"We must keep it safe," Celestia replied.
"Wait, where is it?" Luna asked worriedly, "I just had it right here."
The two sisters looked wildly around the throne room.
"Oh, dear," Celestia sighed.
