Twilight Sparkle and her friends galloped over to help Discord fight against the wyverns. Discord roared as he fought against the two-legged flying reptiles with sharp teeth and blood-red eyes before one of the wyverns spotted Fluttershy and it flew over to try to eat her whole, this caused Discord to sink his sword down the wyvern's head, killing it before Courageous Heart destroyed the second wyvern with one blast of bright yellow magic. Discord huffed and puffed in anger before he dropped his bloody sword and collapsed.

Fluttershy: Discord!

The yellow pegasus ran over to see if the Draconequus was okay. She felt frightened when one of the wyverns tried to eat her in one swoop and she felt surprised when Discord killed the two-legged dragon to save her. Discord got up before Fluttershy embraced him with tears flowing from her eyes. Discord was glad that his best friend didn't get hurt and the ponies trotted over to check on him.

Fluttershy: Oh, Discord. Are you alright?!

Discord: I'm alright, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy: You saved me...and my friends.

Discord: Of course I did! Why else would I leave the animals behind with somepony else to protect you from Grogar's minions?!

Applejack: Is somepony else taking care of Fluttershy's animals?

Discord: Yes, I asked Big Mac to watch over the animals while I'm gone, but he told me he didn't wanna miss his date with Sugar Belle, so I hired a cross-eyed Pegasus mare to do the job.

Rainbow Dash: Wait a minute...you hired a cross-eyed Pegasus mare to watch over Fluttershy's animals? Who was it?

Pinkie Pie: That would be Derpy Hooves.

Rarity: The mail mare? Huh, who would've guessed?

Courageous Heart: Twilight? Who is he?

Twilight Sparkle: This is Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony.

Courageous Heart: Wait, I know him! He was turned to stone for a thousand years by Celestia and Luna. Then he broke free, tried to take over Equestria, got turned to stone again...

Discord: And then Fluttershy taught me the true meaning of friendship and she helped me change my ways.

Flash Sentry: Why are you here, Discord?

Rainbow Dash: Yes, why are you here?

Discord: Because...I don't want Fluttershy or any of her friends to get harmed or killed!

Discord tried not to cry as he sniffled before he looked at Fluttershy with pain in his eyes.

Fluttershy: Oh, Discord. It was very brave of you to risk your own life to save us, but we are on our mission to-

Discord: I know, Fluttershy. I understand that you and your friends are on a quest to save Equestria from the wrath of Grogar and his minions, but Fluttershy you don't know what Grogar is capable of. He's more dangerous than you can imagine. He's worse than Tirek.

Twilight Sparkle and her friends mended Discord's wounds before they went across the wilderness to find a place to make camp. Discord looked fine, but he received scars from the wyverns that were sent by Grogar to destroy our heroes. Discord used his chaos magic to heal himself, but he was still hurt because he feared that if something were to happen to Fluttershy or her friends, then he would be devastated. Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer found a safe area in the middle of the wilderness before the ponies, dragon, and draconequus made camp for the night. Fluttershy stayed by Discord's side as Sunset Shimmer brought some firewood before Spike used his dragon breath to make a campfire. Applejack prepared the food, Rarity and Sunburst made the tents, Flash Sentry and Starlight Glimmer were making sure the camp was safe, Pinkie Pie and Trixie Lulamoon were reading about campfire stories, and Twilight Sparkle and Courageous Heart were doing some studying on the history of Tambelon.

Courageous Heart: So, Grogar put a curse on the Bell of Freedom to keep it from ringing so that the bell's enchanted sound waves wouldn't destroy the source of Grogar's demonic powers.

Twilight Sparkle: You know, I think that Starswirl and Grogar have a little something in common.

Courageous Heart: Why? Is it because they both like to wear bells?

Twilight Sparkle: Something like that. But what I meant is that they're both ancient sorcerers with great knowledge for any different kind of magic. Starswirl is the Master of Spells and Grogar is the Author of Dark Magic.

Courageous Heart: Twilight? May I ask you something?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes?

Courageous Heart: Do you...like me?

Twilight Sparkle: Um...Yes, I do like you, Courageous.

Courageous Heart: What do you like about me?

Twilight Sparkle: Well, you're brave, you're smart, you're loyal to me and my friends...and you're extraordinary. You're the most interesting pony that I've ever met and I've never met an Alicorn stallion my whole life until you came to Ponyville.

Courageous Heart: Thanks, and I think you're the most interesting pony that I've met as well. I've heard so many stories about you and your friends. I remember back in the day when you were this magical unicorn who saved Equestria many times with her friends before you finished Starswirl's spell and became an Alicorn Princess.

Twilight Sparkle: I never thought I would have sprouted wings after finishing all my friendship studies for Princess Celestia. Although, I was unhappy with being an Alicorn at first because...It made me scared with me being a Princess. All the responsibilities, all the hardships, and all the struggle I had to go through. When I was still a unicorn, I thought that I would one day become a teacher at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, or that I would be a Royal Advisor. I never thought that I would be an Alicorn Princess.

Courageous Heart: I know how you feel, Twilight. When I was a colt, I thought that me being an Alicorn was a mistake. My parents didn't expect me to be born an Alicorn, so they had to have me wear something to hide my wings. I kept my wings hidden because I didn't want every pony to think that I was a freak or that I was a pony with a rare birth defect. My mother told me that Alicorns were very powerful back in the day and some of them were immortal while most Alicorns were mortal. Alicorns were seen as deities because they were a combination of Earth Pony, Pegasi, and Unicorn.

Spike: Hey, Twilight. You wanna join us around the campfire?

Twilight Sparkle: Not now, Spike.

Spike: Are you sure? Because Applejack just made some vegetable soup and Pinkie Pie made some fruit juice for us.

Twilight's stomache growl before she realized that she hadn't eaten anything since she and Courageous were busy doing research on Tambelonian history. The purple Alicorn Princess looked at Courageous Heart and he admitted that he was hungry too.

Courageous Heart: Sure thing, Spike. We sure could use something to eat and drink.

Twilight Sparkle: We could continue to read the History of Tambelon while we're having some soup.

Spike: Come on, haven't you studied that old book enough? I just used my dragon breath to warm up the vegetable soup that Applejack made.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, Spike. We'll meet with you at the campfire with the others.

The two Alicorns trotted over to meet with their friends at the campfire and Discord's wounds were healed for now before he cuddled with Fluttershy while the ponies and dragon were enjoying some nice warm soup and some yummy fruit juice. Twilight Sparkle and Courageous Heart sat closely together with all of their friends before Sunburst and Sunset Shimmer began talking to each other.

Sunset Shimmer: I never thought that I would ever get to see you again, Sunburst.

Sunburst: I missed you too, cousin.

Starlight Glimmer: Sunburst? You're related to Sunset Shimmer?

Sunburst: Yes, Starlight. Sunset Shimmer and I are cousins.

Starlight Glimmer: Well, I do see the resemblance. Not to mention that Sunset's last name Shimmer rhymes with my last name, Glimmer. Sunset, why didn't you tell me that you were Sunburst's cousin.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, Starlight. It's just that I've been living in the human world for so long that I haven't made contact with any of my relatives. I've known Sunburst ever since he was a colt and a I was a teenager. I'm a bit older than Sunburst and even Twilight Sparkle.

Starlight Glimmer: So while you were living in the human world, did you ever thought about your parents?

Sunset Shimmer: *sighs sadly* Yes, but I thought my parents wouldn't want me anymore ever since I became Princess Celestia's first star pupil who became power hungry and my parents left Canterlot and moved to Manehatten.

Sunburst: Do you miss your parents, Sunset?

Sunset Shimmer: I do miss them, cousin. But I just hope that they would accept me for my redemption.

Starlight Glimmer: I know how you feel, Sunset Shimmer. I felt like a terrible daughter to my dad when I didn't enjoy his company before I left home without saying goodbye before I manipulated an entire village into giving up their special talents and identities. I even went so far as if to damage the space time continuum when I traveled back in time to stop the Sonic Rainboom in order to destroy the Cutie Mark bond between Twilight and her friends. Who were your parents, Sunset?

Sunset Shimmer: My father was a white unicorn named, Dimlight Shine, and my mother was a yellow-orange unicorn named, Morning Glory. My aunt's name was Dandy Lion and I haven't seen her in years since I was a filly.

Trixie Lulamoon: Dandy Lion? Wait...That's my mother's name!

Sunset Shimmer gasped before she and Trixie Lulamoon looked at each other while Starlight Glimmer and Sunburt were surprised to hear from their friend who travels around in a wagon and likes to perform magic shows while boasting about how great and powerful she is. Dandy Lion was the name of Trixie's mom and Sunset Shimmer didn't know that her aunt shared the same name.

Sunset Shimmer: Your mother's name is Dandy Lion?

Trixie Lulamoon: Yes, Sunset Shimmer. Did your aunt shared the same name as my mother?

Sunset Shimmer: I think so. But if my aunt is your mother, then that would make you...?

Trixie Lulamoon: Your cousin? Impossible! I don't see any resemblance between us.
