The last week had been quite hard for Twilight, not only because of the nervousness that the presence of the elite troops of the princesses caused in the town, they had unleashed a torrent of questions, a trend that fortunately had almost disappeared, no, what had made her week heavy, was that there were not any further news from the royal guard, plus the small pulses (which could not be called small, after all, if she could feel them so clearly, it was sure that the other princesses felt it too) of magic that had been going on in all directions since the fifth day after the original, and they had proven to be quite elusive and difficult to track, they lasted very little, so no location spell worked, all this added to the constant questions generated by the presence of the soldiers, was what had made it unbearable.

* BRUUP *, in the distance the sound of Spike receiving a letter from the princess was heard, but the Alicorn was so focused on finding a way to reduce the time needed for detection that she did not hear him.

"Twilight!"

A small, plump-looking dragon, with lavender scales all over its back and greenish-yellow on its belly, with green eyes and spikes, ran into the room with a scroll in its claws, it was the assistant/son/brother of the princess of friendship, a baby dragon that she had hatched herself during her entrance exam to the 'School for Gifted Unicorns'.

"Hmm? Ho no, I think that's not good news; what's up to Spike? did the princesses find anything?"

"I don't know, the letter is marked urgent, it asks you to go to Canterlot along with the others as soon as possible."

"I think two hours should be enough, could you go find Pinkie Pie and Rarity, tell them to meet me here in two hours, ready to go a day or two to Canterlot, while I'll go get Applejack Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash; if I'm not wrong, the next train leaves in three and a half hours, so that will be enough time. "

They were both about to run away when a guard interrupted them.

"I will notify your escort immediately, princess."

Arrrgh not again!

"Sigh... okay, have one of your stallions accompany Spike, and a personal escort will suffice for me, Captain Blaze."

Upon receiving his orders, he directed one of the guards stationed at the door to accompany the dragon, then the captain took one of the guards patrolling the corridor to accompany him as an escort.

Two hours later, all the elements of harmony were gathered in the map room, the last to arrive was the farmer, the element of honesty, an orange earthpony that wore her blonde mane and tail tied by a red band, and on her flank was a cutie mark composed of three apples, on his head she wore her inseparable Stetson, a hat that had been a gift from her late father and on her back she carried the saddlebags full and ready for the trip.

"Welcome Applejack." Twilight greeted her.

"Now that we are all here, we can begin, I am sure you have all noticed the presence of six platoons of soldiers in Ponyville."

There was a round of affirmative sounds and nods.

"Did you also notice that they are not wearing the uniform we normally see?"

This time the only one who answered was Rarity, a pure white unicorn with well-groomed purple mane and tail, blue eyes, a refined voice, and her cutie mark was three diamonds, she was the owner of the Carrousel boutique and the element of generosity.
