"Magister Celestia! Magister Luna! What are you doing here?!" exclaimed Twilight, not expecting to see the two Alicorns here of all places. Celestia smiled kindly at Twilight as she explained.

"We recieved your letter about what was happening with the vampires." she said.

"Not to mention there's been word of a vampire horde gathering near the Mortem Mountains."

"We were on our way to investigate this." continued Celestia. "When we spotted your carriages traveling down the path toward the mountains." The tall Alicorn arched an eyebrow at Twilight. "I never expected to find you here, dear Twilight." Twilight blushed in embarrassment.

"Yes well, Rainbow Dash and I are helping to rescue a new friend of ours, Fluttershy. She's was kidnapped by her aunt, the pony responsible for all these attacks, and is holding her hostage somewhere near the mountains."

Celestia nodded, listening intently to what Twilight had to say. "I see." she said. Her cool gaze flickered over to Alistair. He gave her a respectful nod in her direction.

"Hello, Celestia." he said.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, Alistair?" said Celestia.

Rainbow looked back between the two, doing a double take. "Whoa, whoa, wait! You two, know each other?!"

"We met long ago." said Celestia.

"And you still look just the same as ever." Alistair remarked with a light chuckle.

"When he and his fellow vampires arrived in the New World." interjected Luna. "Alistair and a few other Pure Blood representatives came to us, offering an agreement to live peacefully here." Her eyes then narrowed at Alistair. "Though now, I'm starting to question our decision to do so."

Before Alistair could reply, a voice interrupted.

"What's going on out here?" Scarlet and Phobos stepped out of their carriage and walked toward them. Upon seeing the magisters, they regarded them with a cold and calculating gaze.

"Ah, dear magisters, what brings you here?" asked Phobos.

"We came here to investigate the reports of the vampires gathering at the Mortem Mountains." Luna said somewhat sharply. "Though, it appears now that they're true."

"Indeed." said Scarlet stiffly. "Now, if you'd be so kind as to move out of the way, we shall continue toward our destination."

"Wait." said Celestia. "What exactly is it that you intend to do once you arrive at the mountains?"

Scarlet said nothing at first, then she replied, "We plan to deal with the problem of those rouge half breeds swiftly, making sure that they pay for their crimes."

"Then perhaps," Celestia continued. "You'd allow us the honor of assisting you."

"Wait, what?" said Rainbow Dash. Twilight elbowed Rainbow and shushed her.

"Us? Working with you?" questioned Phobos, seeming not too convinced at the idea. Luna also looked at her sister with similar disbelief.

"Sister--"

But Celestia continued on. "It would be most beneficial for you and your clan. With our help, you'll have the rogues taken care of much more efficiently."

Scarlet arched an eyebrow, somewhat intrigued by the offer. "It is tempting." she said. "But this is a matter between vampires, something that Ponies like you should not be interfering with."

"Hey, what about us?" questioned Rainbow Dash. Twilight elbowed her again.

"I understand. However, you must also understand that these vampires and their attacks have threatened the safety and well being of the New World, thus making it our problem as well. All I'm suggesting is that you allow me and my sister to help subdue the rouge forces, leaving you to deal with them as you see fit."

Twilight couldn't be sure, but she thought she saw a glimmer of a pleased smile on Scarlet's face before she said, "Very well, Celestia. We shall accept your help. So long as you keep to your word and don't interfere with any more of our affairs."

Celestia nodded in Scarlet's direction. "Thank you, I shall do my utmost to keep to it."

Scarlet and Phobos turned and went back into their carriage.

"Thank you, Celestia." said Alistair gratefully.

"Magister Celestia." piped up Twilight. "Not to be rude, but, why are you helping the vampires?"

"Yes, that's something I'd like to know as well." said Luna.

"For millennia, there's been a strong tension between vampires and ponies, a tension that I wish to try and break." She looked Alistair in the eye as she spoke. "You came here seeking peace, and so, I'm willing to give it and offer you and your fellow vampires a chance at living in harmony with us ponies."

Alistair smiled. "Perhaps one day, that'll come to pass."

Rainbow Dash cleared her throat. "Uh, sorry to interrupt, but, we should probably get a move on."

"She's right." said Luna. "There's no time to lose."

Alistair ushered the girls into the carriage and entered inside himself. Luna turned to her sister. "Celestia, do you think we should really be involved in this?"

Celestia nodded. "I do. As I said, I wish to end the tension between our two species, and in order for that, we must begin by aiding each other when in need."

Luna sighed. "If you say so, Celestia."

The two Alicorns flew to the sky, gliding over head of the carriages as everypony continued toward the mountains.


Fluttershy laid on the floor, weak, and barely breathing. She felt even more weak and helpless than she'd ever felt before, and was beginning to despair over what fate laid in store for her. Her ears picked up a sound. It was of the door to the room opening. Had Eldra come back to let out more of her rage? Fluttershy cracked her eyes open to see, but her vision was blurred, and she could only make out a figure coming toward her. What did this figure want? The stranger gently lifted up Fluttershy's head, and poured down her throat a mixture of strange and unfamiliar herbs, washing it down with crisp apple cider. Then, the stranger proceeded to clean the blood off of Fluttershy, adding a poultice to her open wounds and tightly bandaging them. Fluttershy squinted at the figure, doing her best to make out his face or features.

"...Discord...is that you...?"

The stranger did not answer. Instead, her brushed a strand of her mane delicately out of her face, going about his business treating her injuries. The stranger gave Fluttershy another drink, this time, it made her feel tired, and sent her off to sleep.

When Fluttershy awoke, she had no idea how much time had past, all she could see when she opened her eyes was that the stranger was gone. She looked down at where she had been bandaged. All the pain she'd felt was gone, and her injuries felt almost as thought they'd completely healed! Fluttershy smiled and then looked toward the door, wondering if it was Discord who'd come to help her, and if not, then who else could it have been? Little did she know, the stranger still lurked on the other side of the door, and upon hearing her awaken, he smiled, glad that he'd managed to take away some of her pain before hurrying off. For he had other business to attend to.
