Twilight and her friends made their way to Canterlot castle. The skies had grown darker, and a dense fog was in the air. The hot air balloon they traveled in landed at the foot of the castle. From there, they could see the two princesses on the balcony. Twilight and Celestia's eyes met, both with worried looks.
"We came as fast as we could." said Twilight, running up to her and bowing - her friends soon following.
Celestia looked at everyone and said, "Follow me. There isn't much time to waste." They made their way to the room of the Equestria Scrolls. The sun has gone down, and it had began raining outside.
Pinkie Pie asked, "What is this place?"
"This is the greatest library in Equestria. It holds knowledge we can't even understand." answered Princess Luna.
Celestia asked Twilight, "Do you remember the dragon problem we had? The one who's snoring made smoke engulf the skies."
"Is there another dragon in Equestria?" she asked.
"We believe so," said Luna, "but this is not just any dragon." The room stirred with confusion.
Rarity asked, "Is that what was making that awful noise?"
Suddenly, the roar echoed outside the castle. Everyone looked out the windows in the room. It was too dark and rainy to see anything. 
Applejack added "I reckon that's what we heard."
"A..dr-..dra-..drag..on?" Fluttershy asked, she was shaking in fear.
The candles in the room started fading darker. Another roar was heard. Whatever was making it was right outside. Celestia looked out the window again. A lightning bolt blasted down from the sky. In the split-second of light outside, she saw the beast. It gave a large roar, and the entire castle shook. Every pony stood in shock of what they were seeing. Another lightning bolt, only this time, every pony in Canterlot saw it in the sky.


"HERE ME, DAUGHTERS OF EQUESTRIA. ALDUIN HAS RETURNED."


Like the lightning, the dragon disappeared into the night.
