[b]Equiis[/b] The first Supreme inclined his head in recognition of the forethought, and turned to the Princesses. "In that case, Princesses, we apologize. Or at least, I do. My companion is not so inclined to... stop it!" This last phrase was directed at the second Supreme, who was now smiling evilly at the Princesses. However, at the command, he immediately became the picture of Supreme solitude and inner-peace, having a faint smile [in Supreme terms] on his face, eyes twinkling with an inner kindly light. Immediately, the second Supreme spoke. "So... conducting a meeting with the Alexandrians. We admit, we do not have much knowledge of them. They are new to us. You, however, well... we have known all of you before. Let me show you a very real place, that we currently hold as our own." A moment later, nothing changed. However, to the Supreme Diplomatic party, and to the Princesses and the High Archmage, the very place they were standing changed. By manipulating the nerve system, the Supreme had allowed them to see, smell, and feel the old, magnificent throne room on what has become Old Equiis. They could see several Supremes, wrapped in a protective armorsuit, restoring the chambers, the massive chambers, pillared and tiled, more magnificent than the one that they had previously been in. Moments later, the real-time manipulation that let them see across the stars let them see as the Supreme-installed Supreme holographic installations start: all between the pillars that flank the deep red carpet that lead to the thrones, the exact same thrones that the Princesses sat on, with the exact same color scheme, were major planets of the old Equestrian Empire, with information with strange symbols lining them, Supreme Symbols. After a minute watching the throne room being restored, the Supreme ended the manipulation, returning them to their actual location. "We are restoring Equiis. The one before this one. All your technology was destroyed, of course, from some plaque that destoryed anything magical, which, we admit, was very disappointing. But the Old Equiis is very much more suited for inhabitations, now. We have restored many cities, and while most Equestrian digital history was lost, we have found a great deal of information in libraries, and have taken liberties as to restoring it. We have your past, your ancestors' legacy. But, it is not yours anymore. To see it yourself will require a great deal from you, so that we know you will not eradicate another race to reach such a golden age." The first Supreme was, well, startled, and looked at his brother in profound and distinct astonishment and shock, and just a little awe. No one else has been able to manipulate a mind without invading, or having any real study. The other four had simply taken a battle stance, legs spread out, obviously disoriented and confused.
