"I believe you. Believe me, I have heard and then seen many weirder things." Twilight said.

"Doesn't matter. She is an alicorn." Luna said. "Every alicorn is considered royal."

Samaya grinned. ''Anyway, apparently, there's a war going on. A war which has nearly cost me my life.'' She said, showing Twilight a shrapnel wound on her flank. ''But Celestia wanted you to update me on the war. And I'd like to know what I'm supposed to do.''

''I think it's better if we hide Pupa from the public. She doesn't even embody anything.'' Celestia said.

"We got into a big fight with the Changelings and won it, destroying their missile base. Then we sunk their big ship called Yamato." Twilight said. "The changelings have taken over Manehattan and burned a quarter of Whitetail Woods. A meteor with an Venutrium reserve hit the far north, and we are making an expedition to get there before the changelings." Twilight said. "Also there was a huge hurricane."
---
"I guess..." Luna said. "But since she is an alicorn, she will grow to embody something. At the least something."

''An expedition?'' Samaya said. ''What sort of expedition?''
---
''I wonder what she'll embody, though.'' Celestia said. ''Also, normally, we'd organize a ceremony officially introducing Samaya as a member of the royal family, but I hate these ceremonies. Let's just put give her her crown, which for some reason still remains preserved, and then fabricate some story about not being able to organize a ceremony because of the war.''

''Did I mention I can freeze time, speed it up, slow it down, and perform all kinds of funky stunts? Let me come along.'' Samaya said.

''Alright. Let's go. I'll go get the crown. I'll be back in a flash.'' Celestia said, teleporting away, returning after a minute, carrying Samaya's tiara, which looked similar to Cadance's. ''Told you I'd be back in a flash.'' She said, trotting out of the room. ''Er-hem. Samaya.'' She said to Samaya.
''Hmm?'' Samaya muttered.
''This belongs to you.'' Celestia said, handing Samaya the tiara.

''I can control time. Which'll obviously be a big advantage.'' Samaya said, putting the tiara in its rightful place: on her head.

"I believe I can make you come along, but I'm afraid I won't let you control time." Luna said. "Your powers are far too strong. Until you start practicing them by reading from the time section of the Royal Library, you cannot use your powers."

"I'm the physical embodiment Of time. I'm not just somepony who happens to be able to use time spells, I am time. Did you need to practice your spell to raise and lower the moon and the stars, Princess Luna?" Samaya said. "But okay. If you're really worried about it, I'll stay with my usual repertoire of spells. I can't guarantee I wouldn't use my time-controlling abilities in an emergency, though."

''Ah.'' Samaya said. ''Still, what could possibly go wrong with time?'' She said, grinning; she was damn well aware of what could go wrong.

Luna sighed. "Samaya, you are dismissed from the command center." She said. "Twilight, I hope the expedition is almost completely organised?"
"Yes, Princess." Twilight said. "But I'm afraid Lucifer has figured out the location just as I did."

''Any special things I need to take along?'' Samaya asked.
