Luna nodded along, relieved that Celestia's explaination was short. "My sister's student has found something out. She thinks there is something not right with the worlds magic. I'm not sure I understood her. Something about an imbalance of magic, and an eclipse." Luna sighed, "Celestia is being really vague."
Sunstar groaned and opened her eyes. great, she was captured, again. She looked around. Stargazer was staring at a bruise on her stomach and there were several other ponies around. Sunstar rose to her feet and shook herself. She found a bruise on her left side and scaned the area. She could find no internal damage. Sunstar took a couple steps, extending her left hind leg. That hurt. She walked carefully to Stargazer. Another mare, this one a pink unicorn, spoke up. Sunstar turned, studying the unicorn. Her first thought was Twilight Sparkles mother. No, not right. Twilight Star was lighter, and the symbol was different. Sunstar turned back to Stargazer. "Princess Stargazer, you are hurt! Let me check you over for any internal damage, if that is okay with you. Don't worry, my magic won't affect your unborn colt." Sunstar smiled, and lit her horn, "I have the power to heal, but I can't take away the pain."

"Yes, and I can help, too!" Twilight Shine replied, shaking off the last of her grogginess, and noticed a mare she had never seen before. "Oh, excuse me... but who are you?"

"I'm Sunstar, mother of Celestia and Luna, the Princesses of Equestria." Sunstar smiled, "Who are you?"

Moonfall nodded, what Tornado said made sense. Since she was the guardian of 'wishing', Wraith and these mysterious others could have targeted her for her power. He waited for Battlefield's answer, but Luna spoke first - she'd been contacting her sister via telepathic link. But what she said turned him cold - an eclipse? Not good. Stargazer's power source - The Road, activated on an eclipse - both solar and lunar ones. But the imbalance of magic he couldn't decode - maybe one of the others could? "This eclipse your sister's student talks of - it probably applies to Stargazer. Her power source - The Road - it activates on solar and lunar eclipses and boosts Stargazer's power. The imbalance of magic though, I'm not sure on that. Does anyone else know?"
The first to stir was Twilight, and Stargazer walked over to her, gingerly stepping. It seemed the bruise was not only skin deep. She offered a hoof to Twilight as she pulled herself up, in case she needed to steady herself. "Yes, it's me." As one of the others stirred - Stargazer looked over, it was Sunstar, who soon approached. Stargazer noticed she had a similar bruise on her side. But her words affected her more - a colt? Moonfall would be overjoyed! She smiled. "Yes please, and thank you. Do you think my foal is ok?" Again the motherly instinct came in, Stargazer was more worried for her son than for the situation they were in at the moment.

Tornado shook his mane. "I don't know, but I could try and dectect what's causing the imbalance... unless somebody else has a spell that can do so?"
"Thak you, my friend!" Twilight replied, as she took Stargazer's hoof. Looking over at Sunstar as she spoke, Twilight Shine polietly bowed. "I am Twilight Shine, your majesty! Court mage of Dream Valley!"

The guardian colt stood up leaning agienst the wall, still feeling groggy, his eyes tried to adjust to the darkness "Where am I?...what just happend?" He could hear voices, using the wall for guidance he trotted over the voices "At least Im not the only here" he thought to him self

"My wife is a just a typical Shadow Unicorn," Battlefield told Moonfall. He turned to Luna. "Tell your sister that Uncle Battlefield says to be more specific." He was suprised by who had knocked on the door. "StormForge, you old beast. This is a suprise."
"I'm going to kill whoever put us here!" Burning Gold was now awake and angry as a hornet. She growled and cursed as she started to kick at the bars.

"Maybe the Road?" Luna thought, "Long ago, there was the Flow of Magic. Mother destroyed it when she succumbed to the darkness in her soul. After she was locked away, Mage rebuilt the Sun and Moon from the remains of the original sun. Um, according to Celestia, he pulled all light magic into the new sun and dark magic into the new Moon." Her voice and face changed to that of Nightmare Moon, "Allow me, Luna. Ever wonder why you and your mother wear those medallions? Come on, think about it. Its so oblivious! Think Flow, think Road. think united!" Luna's voice and face returned to normal, "Anybody make any sense of that?" Her face suddenly paled, "I think I got it. According to Celestia, she thinks the Road is dying. Celestia, want to try that in simple terms?" Nightmare took over, "Oh for Celestia's sake. Ever wonder when the Flow was destroyed that the world survived? Think tributary. Think river. Rivers often have more then one tributary. So does the Flow. I bet what Sunstar destroyed was a tributary. Come on, put 2 and 2 together. Second tributary." Nightmare was replaced by Luna, "I hate it when Nightmare does this." She thought again, "Okay, Celestia, I think I got it now. According to my sister's student's research, The Flow must of had a secondary branch flowing through our world. that secondary branch hid itself well, by flowing right next to the Road. It used the Road to shield itself from my mother. something happened, and whatever happened did something to the Road which is causing it to die. Celestia says it is because of the imbalance in magic. What needs to happen is that Mother and I must connect our medalions which will trigger the eclipse and allow Mother and Stargazer to restore the balance. Without the Road, our world will die too."
Sunstar scanned Stargazer's bruised flank. "Your son is just fine. We're going to be stiff for a few days but we will recover. Burning Gold, you too? Twilight, I have to ask, are you by perchance related to Twilight Sparkle?"

"Then we need to find them soon," said Battlefield.
"Yeah, me, too," Burning Gold growled. "I'm going to kill whoever put us here."

Moonfall was stunned. “The Road, dying? It hardly seems possible, it’s always been so strong before. But then we haven’t checked it over lately, how long do you think it can hold out?” He was slightly confused over Luna’s changing back and forth into Nightmare Moon and herself, but since it seemed to have been covered earlier he didn’t press the issue. It was not difficult for him to comprehend the existence of a secondary – even more than that possibly, sources of magic – though he did admit the relationships between each magic source were a little hard to grasp. “So the Road flows off from the old Flow that your mother destroyed, and is dying now because the destruction of the Flow is affecting it now?” If that was true, not just his world and Luna’s world – but all, if not most, worlds were at risk. After all, each realm potentially had its own source to give life.
Stargazer fully agreed with Burning Gold’s idea of killing those who put them in this prison. “Agreed Burning Gold, but we may have to get in line. I can’t imagine our husbands or family are going to be too happy about this situation. But I want to take out Wraith.” She said this last part fiercely. “Thanks Sunstar, hopefully it won’t take us long to heal up. Stiffness can be dealt with at least.” She looked around their prison, studied their surroundings. A faint light was pouring in from a single flame on the wall torch, its flickers tainted with a dull purple colour. “Oh no, I think I know where we are. The volcano of doom.”

"Wonderful," Burning Gold growled. "The last place I'd want to be. Whoever snatched us has an interesting taste in hideouts."

"Its been a long time Battlefield, last time I saw you was charging up Griffon Gorge with the rest of the 3rd Leigon, then getting drunk in the local tavern with many of the bar wenches. What have you been up to all these years?" StormForge stepped in to greet a fellow warrior.
Sweeps looked around, all he could see was stone walls and bars. He steped into some light it just about blinded him when he stepped into it, his eyes took some time to adjust to the brightness "h-hello" he called out "is anyone in here?"

"The Witches's old hideout!?!" Twilight shrieked. "But there's smooze in here! We could be infected!"

"Easy, Lady Shine." Sunstar closed her eyes, "The Volcano of Gloom. Why did I spare it? I'm not sensing any smooze near us. If we get infected, I can remove the infection. Very recently, my eldest daughters student found a way to turn Ultra Flutter into a spell. I know the basic spell, but it still has a few bugs to work out."
"That is right. I think we need to unify the Road with the Flow again." Luna nodded, "Discord must have sensed it first after Mother. That must be why he created the medalions."

Moonfall looked at the newcomer - StormForge, did Battlefield call him? "Welcome, can I help you?" To the rest of the gathering he said. "Sounds like a plan Luna. We'd better get going soon then, I imagine that we're all setting out to go find them?"
"Then we're as safe as we could be at the moment, if there's no smooze. Until whoever took us comes down here." Stargazer replied. She heard the guard stirring and calling out for them, and she replied to him as well. "We're over here! Are you hurt?"
