Prologue

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

The days following Haseo's departure from Equestria were normal. During that time the lives of the ponies slowly became normal again, and AIDA stopped appearing in Equestria. In the library Twilight was reading some books, at the farm Applejack was doing her chores, Rainbow Dash was flying and practicing, in the boutique Rarity was finishing an order for a client, at her cottage Fluttershy was tending to her animals' needs, and Pinkie Pie was doing… Pinkie Pie things in who knows where. But right now, let's join Spike and Twilight at the library, Spike stayed up late last night, and was just waking up from a nice dream.

"Hey, Twilight," Said Spike groggily. "what are you doing?"

"Oh, good morning, Spike. I'm not doing anything special. When did you go to be last night?"

"Oh, around Uhhh... 1, I think..."

"1 PM?! Spike, keep that up and you'll be in no condition to help me or Rarity. And we both know how that will turn out." She said almost completely unsurprised.

"Yeah, yeah I know. So what do you want for breakfast?" Asked Spike.

"Oh, I already ate. It'll be just you and owlowiscious this time." Replied Twilight.

"Oh, okay then." Right at the moment he said "then", his cheeks swelled and was forced into the air for a second as a letter appeared in green flames with the royal seal on it. It could only mean one thing. "What the? It's from the princess."

"Well, what does it say?" Asked Twilight inquisitively. Spike unrolled the letter and began reading it aloud. it said:

To my faithful Student Twilight, I am using this letter to inform you that a mysterious giant gold colored ring has appeared in town square next to the mayor's house. I believe this to be an entrance into Haseo's world. I am assigning you and your friends to go to The World and study it. Report your findings to me when you're done.

Your mentor, Princess Celestia of Equestria.

P.S. Don't worry about staying there for a little while if you need to. We'll take care of things.

Twilight was exited to get a new assignment, especially if it was in another world. And they would potentially get to meet Haseo again. Who knew what new things she would learn in a society with almost no laws. Without further delay she packed her saddlebags and left the library, leaving Spike in charge.

She gathered her friends and went to town square to see what this giant ring was. It certainly looked like a platform, but it was considerably larger and more elaborate than what she and her friends saw a few days ago. It was a giant ring with two even smaller rings inside it; connected. It had blue spheres of energy rotating in the smallest ring, and a crest at the top of the largest ring. The mares just looked at it with questions raised.

"So, Twilight. What the hay, is that thing?" Asked Applejack.

"Princess Celestia said it was a portal to Haseo's world. But when she said 'giant gold colored ring' I didn't think it would look like this. I'd better take some notes." Replied Twilight.

"My, these rings look simply amazing, I feel all sorts of inspiration coming to me!" Said Rarity, excitedly giggling.

"Twilight, are we going to Haseo's world?" Asked Fluttershy curiously.

"Yeah, we're going, it's because of a new assignment from Princess Celestia. Although I'm not sure about what will happen or who or what we'll see there." Replied Twilight.

"Well whatever it is, I'm sure I can handle anything 'The World' brings my way!" Exclaimed Rainbow Dash arrogantly. The rest of the ponies looked at her in irritation. "I-I mean we... heh, heh, heh." She said awkwardly.

"Ooh, Ooh! I can't wait to see what happens when we go in!" Said Pinkie Pie, exited. "I bet there'll be monsters and otherworldly beings that stand on two legs, or have fur! I wonder if they'll have giant swords" too, just like Haseo!" She seemed strangely exited about potentially dangerous or frightening circumstances. "It'll be so much fun!"

"Oh my... that doesn't sound very fun, at all, Pinkie Pie." Said Fluttershy hiding in her mane.

"Don't worry sugarcube, we'll protect you." Said Applejack trying to comforting her friend; it didn't do a whole lot to help the yellow pegasus as she was still a little bit scared of what might lie beyond the unknown portal into 'The World'.

Twilight took a deep breath. "Okay girls, ready to go?" The rest of them nodded. They cautiously walked closer to the mysterious giant ring. Then they tried to get in through many means; magic, brute force, magic words, none of it worked. Then they tried just thinking of going to The World; Twilight honestly didn't expect it to work, but it did work; blue rings appeared around the ponies bodies as they turned into blue spheres and flew into the ring. The girls had no idea what they were getting into...

"Yes... they did it... excellent." Said a voice as it's owner plotted it's next move.
