Lunarstar ran through the Archway. Buster and Charades stood with a group of stallions. Lunarstar saw Buster and Charades waiting in front of her. She ran behind them and stood next to Buster, peaking around him. Starfire appeared at the archway and was startled to see what was waiting for him. He saw Lunarstar and stared at her. Another black Stallion came through the archway and stood next to Starfire. He looked identical to Starfire exept he had a horn instead of wings. The Black Unicorn frowned at the group of Stallions that surrounded him.
         "Lets go," The Black Unicorn ordered.
Starfire followed the Unicorn through the Archway. Lunarstar felt releived to be safe again. She sat down on the grass and stretched her tired legs.
         "Lunarstar," Charades called to her, "I want you to meet Banner."
Lunarstar suddeny realized Banner had been standing next to Charades this whole time. He was a yellow stallion with blue and purple hair. His feet were hairy just like Buster and Charades. As he took a few steps closer towards her, she noticed a half of his left ear was missing.
         "It's nice to finally meet you. I'm the Leader of the Rebels."
         "H-hi," Lunarstar replied nervously.
Banner smiled. He walked to the archway and stood in front of it, "Lunarstar, do you know where you are?"
Lunarstar stood up and approched Banner, "um...Ponyland?"
         "Are you sure?" Banner asked, "Take a look around."
Lunarstar scanned the area, taking in every detail. She saw a row of stallions with hairy feet. They woring swords at their sides and a gold cloths with blue lining laid over their backs under their armor. Two Lanterns sat infront of the row of soldiers, one of each end. Behind them were lots of trees and a steep hill going down. The sky was dark and covered with more stars than she had ever seen before. Lunarstar looked in the other direction. The Hill was steep going up. On top of the hill partly hidden behind tall trees was a large white and blue Castle.
         "So this isn't Ponyland?" Lunarstar asked feeling confused.
         "Your on a mountain called Moony Mountain. On top of the hill is Moonlight Castle."
         "It's a real Castle?" she asked, looking up the hill again.
         "Yes."
Lunarstar looked at Buster and Charades, realizing how normal they looked. Their coats no longer glowed. She looked down at herself and saw her coat was also normal.
         "What's the mater?" Charades asked.
         "I'm not glowing and neither are you and Buster."
         "That's because we're from this world just like you," Charades answered.
         "Wh-What-What do you mean? What world?"
         "Lunarstar," Banner began to explain, "This is a different world. The archway behind me is called the Gate. It's a doorway between our two worlds."
         "A different world?" Lunarstar asked, still trying to understand.
         "This world is ruled by Kings and Queens while the other world is not. In this world you'll see Pegasus, Unicorns, Flutter ponies, Sea Ponies, Bushwoolies and so much more."
         "What are Bushwoolies?"
         "Small furballs and they come in different colors," Buster answered.
         "Furballs?" Lunarstar asked, trying to picture a ball of fur.
         "You'll see one, someday," Charades answered.
Lunarstar looked up at Banner wondering how much he knew about her. Perhaps Buster and Charades had told him everything about her.
         "Do you remember your mother?"
         "No, I was just a baby."
Banner sigh and took a deep breath, "Your mother is Queen Royal Heart, ruler of Ponyland."
         "What?!" Lunarstar asked, surprisingly, "So that would make me-"
Banner smiled, "That's right, you are the Princess of Ponyland."
         "Ponyland?"
         "There's a kingdom in this world call Ponyland, it's much bigger than the Ponyland in the other world." Charades explained.
         "But why did my mother leave me behind? Didn't she love me?"
         "She loved you very much but as for leaving you behind. It's a long story," Banner looked up at the sky, it was very dark and all the stars twinkled, "Why don't I tell you the story at the Castle."
         "The Castle?"
         "Moonlight Castle on the hill." Banner pointed with a hoof, "The King and Queen would love to meet you." Banner left the platform and Lunarstar followed. Buster, Charades and half the stallions behind her.
         "Who are all those stallions behind us?"
         "The King and Queen's soldiers. Some will come back to the Castle while the rest stay and guard the Gate." Banner replied.
They walked up the steep hill through the dence forest and onto worn dirt path. They followed the path around a high rocky cliff to the castle gate. A stallion on the wall above the gate cried out, "Who's their?"
         "Banner!"
The stallion yelled at the other ponies behind the castle gate, "It's Banner. Let them in!"
The gate creeked opened and Banner led them through. Lunarstar looked behind her, the ponies on the wall had swords and a golden cloth under their armor too. They too were staring at Lunarstar and whispering to each other.
         "Don't pay attention to them," Charades said noticing her worried look.
         "But they're whispering."
         "Yes, they are, probably about you."
         "Why?"
Charades smiled, "You'll find out when Banner tells you the story."
Lunarstar followed Banner along a stony path in the open field. The Castle sat at one end of the field divided by a wall not like the ones surrounding the castle. There were trees scattered in the field with a water fountain in the middle.
         "What's behind that wall?"
         "A garden," Buster answered.
The Castle had flowers all around it, the doors in front were tall with a white stairway leading up to it and a yellow flowered bush on each side.
Banner opened the door and led them in while the soldiers waited outside. The floor had a red rug that ran though the halls. The wall were half white and half blue with white designs on it. One led to a short hallway with a set of white double doors at the end. The other led up a stair cases that ran over the short hallway. At the very top of the stairs was a white and gold round table with a flower vase on it full of flowers.
Banner led them down a short hallway. At the end were a set of white double doors with golden swirl designs on them.
"We are here to see the King and Queen." Banner announced to the two soldiers that guarded the doors.
The two soldiers went in and a few minutes later they came out, "You may go in."
         "Lunarstar, stay with me and don't touch anything," said Banner.
They walked in the large room. Lunarstar gasped, she had never seen a room so big. Two large stain glass windows were one side of the room. A raised platform with blue and gold decorative canipy hing over the playform. The vail was tied back to two pillars.A red rug leading the a platform with two red and gold chairs.
The King and Queen walked towards them. The King was Blue with pink, light blue and sea green hair, His eyes were pink. The Queen was ice blue with yellow white hair, her eyes were green.
         "Your Majesty, this is Princess Lunarstar. Queen Royal Heart's Daughter." Banner announced. He looked at Lunarstar beside him, "This is King Sea Mist and Queen Snowfall."
         "Hello Princess, it's an honor to meet you," said King Sea Mist.
         "We heard rumors about you but we didn't think we'd actually get to meet you," said Queen Snowfall.
Lunarstar didn't know how to reply to the Queen, she didn't know what she was talking about.
         "Your Majesty, would you excuse us? I still have a lot to tell her before the Gate closes," said Banner.
         "Yes, of course," said King Sea Mist.
Banner left with Buster, Charades and Lunarstar behind him. He took them down the hallway and up the stairs to a four way hallway. They turned right and into the last door. The room was small compared to the throne room but larger than her room. there were two tall windows at one side of the room, two couches with a round table in between and the floor had light green carpet. On the other wall were bookcases and rectangular table near by.
         "Have a seat Lunarstar," Banner proposed as he sat down on a couch. Buster and Charades sat on the other couch.
