I was shocked to say the least. My eyes were full of tears, and they were streaming down my face. My form had shifted to the full black alicorn, but I had seven horns, and when I heard his voice a second time my entire being turned a pure white.

“Father.” I whisper as my heart was slowly mending. I didn’t notice that Celestia, and Luna were staring at me.

Is that truly you?” I ask the voice.

Yes son… it’s me.” He replied.

Is this what you meant when you said you would see me again?” I ask him.

Yes it is. Where are you? And why are you a horse?” He asks.

Hold on for a moment. Let me explain what has happened to the Princesses.” I tell him.

I look up to Celestia, and Luna.

“When the connection was made I gained a way to speak with my father.” I tell them.

“How is that possible? Even we can’t speak to the dead.” Luna asks with her eyes narrowed.

Am I able to let them speak to you?” I ask my Dad.

If you have learned how to use your mother’s gift.” He tells me.

I smile to myself. I lie back down on my hooves.

“Would you like to speak to him?” I ask the two regal mares.

“Can you do that?” Celestia asks me.

“I can use my telepathy as a sort of relay, but yes I can if you let me connect to your mind briefly.” I reply. She nods, so I reach my mind out to her. I set a visualized anchor in her mind so that I didn’t have to focus too hard.

“Luna, would you like to speak to him as well?” I ask the princess of the night. She looks uncertain at first. I wait patiently for her to answer.

“Very well, I guess it couldn’t hurt.” She tells me. I nod to her, and set an anchor in her mind as well. I close my eyes, and focus on the three way telepathy.

The next pieces of dialog are in the mind, and will start and end when this symbol appears

-*#*-

“Can you all hear well enough?” I ask the two princesses, and my father. Since my eyes were closed I could see the bodies of the ponies, and my father in my mindscape.

“Yes I can hear clearly.” Celestia tells me.

“Same here.” Luna tells me. I look to my father, and he nods to me. I look at the two regal ponies.

“Princesses, I suggest lying down, and closing your eyes. You should be able to see my mind’s landscape. You will see me, and my father, and should be able to see each other.” I tell the two alicorns.

“We will do so.” says Luna as her form flickers for a moment. Celestia’s form does the same before they both solidified near me.

“So Dad, shall I introduce you?” I ask the only non pony.

“I don’t see why not.” He tells me, “As long as you explain why you are in a weird place and why you are a horse no less.” I chuckle as I force my form into my human body.

“I’m not a horse Dad, and I believe the word is offensive at where I am. I’m a pony, and I can morph my body, but we’ll get to that later.” I say with a wave of my hand.

“Dad, this is Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia, the rulers of the land I am now living in. Celestia, Luna, this is my Father, Solaris.” I say as I motion to who is who.

“Princesses? Where in the world have you gone Mistyc?” My Dad asks me with a raised brow.

“That’s just the thing Dad. Our world ended a month ago. I was given a second chance, and chose to come here.” I tell him. He stares at me in disbelief.

“Maybe this will help.” I say as I willed my mindscape to change. It was now a movie theater with four seats: Two giant pillows for the Princesses and two plush recliners for me and my Dad.

“Artermis, what is this place?” Celestia asks me.

“This was known as a movie theater back on earth. People came here to see motion pictures of fictional tales.” I tell them, “The screen in front of us is going to show my memories of the end of my world.” I tell them.

“I see you have mastered your dreaming son, great job.” My father says with a tough pat on my back. I mentally winced, since my wings were there.

“Ow, Dad the flight muscles are very sensitive. You just basically shot me.” I tell him.

“Sorry Mist, I didn’t know.” He tells me. I just give him a smile.

“You couldn’t have known, so lets sit down and watch my memories, but be warned princesses I am going to ‘edit’ ,for lack of a better term, out some of the memory so that the secrets of this world’s future is kept safe.” I tell the two sisters. They nod, and lay down on their giant pillows; Dad and I take a seat in our recliners.

I will the screen to come to life, and we all watched my last memories on earth, and then my chat with God, and finally my first few moments in Equestria.

“Well then. That explains a bit, but not why you are now an alicorn.” Dad says as I motion for the screen to stop.

“I could show you that later, right now I think Luna, and Celestia would like to know how you’re here in my head.” I tell him. He nods, and looks over to the screen. He waves his hand, and it comes to life once more.

The screen showed diagrams, and 3D images to help him explain.

“Okay, so when a Paladin from my family forges his bond to a celestial body such as the moon, sun, or stars. The previous paladin’s soul is linked to the newer one. The elder soul is tasked with the job of teaching the new about their powers, and train them on how to use them, and when.” My Dad starts to explain. He shuts the screen off, and stands up, walking up to the front of us.

“I am Mist’s father, and was the previous paladin before him. If I were not a paladin his grandfather would have shown up instead. Basically it is a way to teach the newer paladin about their abilities, and guide them to the right way of things. The older soul will stay with the new paladin for the rest of their life. When Mist passes on, and if he has children, he will connect to them after they make their bonds.” He explains to the royal sisters. I was left wondering about my lifespan.

“Excuse me Dad, but I have to ask something.” I tell my father. He nods, and stops lecturing the princesses. I turn to Celestia.

“How long is an alicorns lifespan?” I ask her. She looks confused before her eyes widen.

“They live for a few trillion years unless they choose to ascend.” She tells me. I widen my eyes so much that my eyeballs should have popped out of their sockets.

“How can a being live that long?” Dad asks.

“It tis the amount of magic that the being has in them that allows them to live. Even humans have magic; just that it is not accessible.” Luna explains to my father.

“Wait magic, but paladins use magic.” He states.

“All beings have a single magic source that keeps them alive. If the being can use magic then they have two sources. One for use and the other to live.” Luna tells my Father as she too explains with Diagrams, but put them in front of her. I smirked knowing she was the protector of dreams.

“What about my son? He has multiple abilities.” My father states. I look at him.

“Not all of my abilities are magic. My bending is used with chi, and my Sayain powers are used with ki, both of the natural energies of the body that all beings have.” I explain as I demonstrate my ki.

“What about your fonts of power?” Luna asks me. I think about this for a few moments.

“I have never actually seen them, let alone know how to get to them.” I tell her.

“All you have to do is focus on where your power comes from, and your mindscape should change.” Celestia says as she stands up. I nod, and focus on my tan tien. My mindscape shifts.

“Well, this is… unexpected.” My Dad says looking out at my four fonts of power.

We were on a metal platform surrounded by water that was separated into four areas.

“Hmm, Artermis which one is your magic font?” Luna asks me. I turn to look at all of the vast bodies of water.

“I’m not sure.” I tell her.

“You could call upon your power to figure out.” Dad says as he looks at the water.

“Alright, I guess I’ll see which one is my ki first.” I said as I pull ki from the center of my body. The water that was in front of us slowly lifted into the blue sky as a column of water. I stop drawing ki from it, and the column returns to the font. I visualize a sign with my language that says ‘ki font’.

I start to draw on my chi, as though I was preparing to bend, and see the font to the left of us makes a giant maelstrom in the middle of it. I stop drawing from it, and make another sign.

I call upon my magic, just enough to make my horn glow in the real world, and see a column of black water rise from the right of us. I rest my magic, and make another sign.

“That means that this is my paladin magic font.” I say as I turn to the last font that I had inside of me. I reach down into the water that was in the font, and get a surge of strength. I force the energy back into the font, and stand back up, shifting into my alicorn form. I notice that my fonts slightly made waves when I did so. I shift once more, this time into my Pegasus form, and the fonts make taller waves.

“Interesting.” I say as I shift back into my human form.

“What is it?” Celestia asks.

“Have you seen a font of any type of energy make waves?” I ask her. She shakes her head, but Luna seems to be in thought.

“Luna, a bit for your thoughts.” I tell her. She looks up to me.

“What else can you change into?” She asks me. I blink a few times.

“I… I don’t entirely know. I only asked god to be able to change into a pony body, but I have changed into a young drake and a griffon as well.” I tell her, “Why do you ask?” She looks to be conflicted about something.

“I… I have seen a font make waves, and tides, before.” She says as she lies down. She seems sorrowed, and disheartened.

“It was when I turned into Nightmare Moon. My soul, the actual me, was trapped in my font of magic, but it was terribly wrong. My font was blood red, and it had high tides, along with colossal waves.” She tells us. I could see the pain in her eyes.

“Starlight, please grant this troubled one comfort.” I say with my head bowed.

My paladin font glowed deep blue, and then Luna did the same. She looks up to me with the pain absent in her eyes.

“How did you do that?” She asks me.

“That is the power your stars grant me when I help others. I asked them to grant you a calm mind since you had so much pain in your eyes. I hate it when others are feeling sad, or pained about a mistake they made.” I tell her. She looks a bit happier, but not entirely.

“Can your power do more if it was connected to the moon?” She asks me.

“Dad? What would the difference be?” I ask.

“You would have a bigger font, be able to do more at once, and you would be able to use a few more abilities.” He tells me.

“Would it be able to help me with my… Nightmare Moon problem?” Luna asks my father. He looks confused. I walk over to Luna, and sit next to her. She lies down, and I start petting her back.

I change my mindscape back into the movie theater.
“I don’t know about your Nightmare Moon problems.” Father tells me. I point towards the screen.

“I’ll show you.” I tell him. He sits down in his recliner, and I start the memory of the explanation from the first episode of MLP.

When the memory was finished Luna was crying with her head in my lap, my father had a grim expression, and Celestia was staring at me suspiciously.

“Celestia that memory came from my knowledge of this world. I won’t be showing anymore, unless my father needs more information.” I tell the alicorn of the sun. She nods, and I look down to Luna. She is asleep inside of my own mind.

“Starlight, please wake this one gently.” I ask the stars. Luna slowly opens her eyes, and looks at me. She blinks a few times before she lifts her head off of my lap. She is as red as an Apple family apple.

“How did I end up like that?” She asks me.

“You put your head in my lap when you were crying, and then you fell asleep.” I tell her. She looks embarrassed again, but gives me a hug. I return her hug, and she pulls away.

I notice Celestia’s form blur before it solidifies once more.

“We need to end this conversation, or at least I need to leave. I still have daily duties to uphold.” Celestia says.

“Luna, would you like to stay with Artermis, or come with me?” Celestia asks her sister. Luna just taps a hoof on the floor in my mind, and Celestia nods.

“I need to go, Artermis will you remove the spell you have on me?” She asks me.

“You will have a small headache for a few minutes, but yeah.” I tell her. She nods to me, and gives her sister a smile. I remove the mental anchor from Celestia’s mind, and her form disappears. I nod when her form is completely gone.

“So Dad, what else would you like to know?” I ask my father.

“I would like to know how you became a pony.” He tells me.

“Right, it happened a few days after I had a… What is it called Luna?” I ask the Princess of the night. She giggles.

“A none magic user overload.” She says with a small smile.

“Right… this was triggered by me sending a letter to Princess Celestia by magical means, and after this was taken care of I woke up from the operation that the hospital had done, and was in my human body, when the magic in my body became too much for it to handle, so it turned me into this.” I tell him as I shift back into my alicorn form.

“Hmm, so can you use magic from this world now?” My father asks me.

“It seems as though I can, I just need to learn how.” I tell him.

“Okay, let’s get onto a different question.” He tells me. I nod.

“How old were you before you left our world?”

“Sixteen, and if you count the year I was in limbo I am seventeen now.” I tell him.

“Where do you live?” He asks me.

“At the castle with my marefriend, my adopted children, and the Princesses.” I reply.

“You said adopted, who are they?” He asks.

“I’ll bring them in here to show you later.” I reply. He nods his head.

“Who is your ‘mare’friend?”

“I actually have two marefriends, and I will bring them to you so you can meet properly.” I reply.

“Alright, and what is your social status with the Princesses?” He asks me. I look to Luna. She nods to me, and look to my Father.

“He is my good friend, and is an advisor to Celestia, sort of.” She tells him.

“Sort of? Did you two have a fight?” He asks me.

“Well, no not really, but we don’t see eye to eye on some subjects. The main subject is me knowing what might happen in this world.” I tell him.

“What of my old friend, Jinkan?” He asks me. I look to the floor.

“KIA.” I tell him. My Dad just looks to the ground.

“By who?” He asks me.

“An old enemy that called himself Hawk.” I reply. My father looked furious, then he looks to me.

“Did you avenge Jinkan’s death?” He asks me.

“No, Jinkan did it himself somehow. I think it was after he got shot he pulled the pin on a grenade, and told me to run. I did, and he went down with Hawk.” I tell him. He laughs at that.

“Jinkan always told me he would go out with a bang.” Dad tells me. I chuckle at his words.

“Dad, I need to go prepare for my quest to the Zebra Empire, I’ll give you access to my memories, except my personal ones, and let you search K?” I tell him. I make a small tablet that was next to his recliner, and put instructions next to it on a small side table.

“If you need anything Mistyc, you know where to find me.” My father tells me. I nod, and pull the anchor out of Luna’s mind, and wake myself up.

-*#*-

Luna woke up from our link before me, and waited for me. I woke a few seconds later, and we both got up from the floor of Celestia’s study. We say our goodbye’s, and went our separate ways. Luna most likely went to bed, while I’m on my way to my family.

While I was walking through the halls of the palace I hear a voice call my name.

I turn to see that it is my student Feather Touch. I stop moving to allow her to catch up to me.

“Artermis, I’ve been looking for you.” She tells me.

“What is it Feather?” I ask her.

“I’m having trouble with my training. I can’t seem to call upon my chi.” She tells me.

“Walk with me.” I tell her. She nods her head, and follows me down the halls.

“You might have sub-consciously set up a block in you chi font.” I tell her.

“What do you mean?” She asks me. I keep walking as I shift into my human form.

“A block in your chi is when a memory of your past that you never want to recall is keeping you from using your power, a crisis if you want to call it that. You can get past this by accepting the memory.” I tell her as I wave to guard that had saluted me.

“I don’t have any memory of a crisis, or something that I don’t want to remember.” She tells me.

“Then it is a memory that you have forgotten, or repressed into your sub-conscious.” I tell her.

“How do I fix it then?” She asks me.

“If you can’t remember it, I will need to help you remember with my telepathic ability, and unlock the memory from your sub-conscious. You will remember the crisis with a clarity that you have never remembered, and it will be up to you to accept it or not.” I tell her as I take a turn so that I’m going to my room. Feather continues to follow me.

“When can you help me?” She asks.

“After we leave for the empire today.” I tell her.

“We’re leaving today?” She asks me. I nod my head, and stop at the door to my room.

“Be prepared to leave within the next two hours.” I tell her.

“I will be ready when you are.” She tells me. I give her a nod, and she trots off to gather her things.

She seems like a nice student. My dad tells me.

Yes, but she has much to learn. I replied. I enter my room, and get tackled to the floor by three fillies, all of them giggling in the aftermath.

I chuckle as I pick them all up with my magic that gave my hands the black aura. I levitate them over to a giant pillow, and set them down.

After my magic was done being used, I was hugged by two mares. I kneel down, and let them hug me the proper way, and return their affection.

“Artermis, we were wondering something about you.” Cadence tells me.

“I’m listening.” I tell her.

“We were wondering if you could help us preen our wings.” Cadence tells me. I hear both Dash’s, and Cadence’s wings pomf.

“You don’t even have to wonder, and I will always help if you want me to.” I tell them. I put up a barrier in my head so that my Dad couldn’t watch or hear what I was doing, or saying.

Is there a reason for this? My Dad asks me.

Yes, preening a Pegasus wing is considered intimate to the owners of the wings, and I have two mares with wings. I don’t think they would appreciate it if you knew about it. I tell him.

I guess I’ll busy myself with your memories then. I need to see how Jinkan was killed. He replies with an angry sigh.

“Where would you two like me to do this?” I ask my mares.

“We would like to do this in bed, but we don’t want your kids to see.” Rainbow Dash tells me.

“I have an idea then.” I tell them, “Give me a few minutes.” I tell them. They nod, and I walk over to my children while shifting into my alicorn body.

“Girls, I think it is time you met my student Feather Touch. She is a unicorn pony that can bend fire.” I tell the fillies that were playing on the giant pillow.

“That sound like a great plan.” Sweetie Belle tells me.

“Maybe she can help us find our cutie marks.” Scootaloo tells the other two girls.

“I don’t know. Dad, can you tell us what she is going to do?” Apple Bloom asks me.

“She is just going to watch over you until Cadence, Dash and I have our stuff packed, and then we will be off to the empire for me to do my job.” I tell them

“Okay.” Apple Bloom tells me.

I lie down, and let my kids onto my back. I then get up, and walk out the door, and up to a guard.

“Guard, I need to know where my student Feather Touch is.” I tell the guard in golden armor.

“She is in her quarters in the servant dorm of the palace your highness.” The guard tells me.

“Will you escort me there?” I ask him. He nods, and starts to walk, so I follow.

I unblock my father, and look at him, as I sub-consciously follow the guard.

Do you think I should make my own royal guards? I ask my father.

I didn’t know you were royalty. He tells me.

Alicorns are the rarest and most powerful beings in this world, and are considered royalty. I tell him. He seems to be silent for a while.

I was watching your avatar state memories, and think that you should have a guard that consists of the four elements. He tells me after a few moments.

I will have to take this to Celestia first, but I think she would allow me to do this. I would rather enjoy having four captains, and twenty guards under each. I tell him.

Why only twenty? He asks.

The male population here in Equestria is significantly lower than what it was back on earth. The ratio is about 1 stallion to every 6 mares. I tell him.

Then have your guard be made up of mares. I don’t see the problem. He replies with a deadpanned tone. I chuckle mentally, and return to the real world.

I guess you’re right. I’ll speak with you later. I tell him before I put the block back up.

“Here we are Prince.” The guard tells me. I give him a nod.

“Thank you. You may return to your post after an hour break.” I tell him.

“I thank you Prince.” The guard tells me before walking away. I just walk up to the door I was in front of, and knock a couple times.

“Prince Artermis, are we leaving?” Feather asks after she opens the door.

“Not yet. I have a few personal matters to attend to, and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind watching after my kids for a bit.” I tell her.

“I am packed, so I don’t see why not.” She tells me.

“Thank you Feather. Just meet me at my room in half an hour to leave for the empire, and bring my kids as well.” I tell her.

“Very well avatar.” She tells me. I give her a warm smile as I lie down to let my children off of my back. They all hopped off of me, and I stood up.

“Now, listen to what Feather Touch tells you, and don’t make her mad.” I tell my girls. They all give me some form of reassurance, and I nod as I turn to leave.

Before I get a foot away from them, I feel hooves wrap around my legs. I look down to see them all there, holding onto me.

I give them a smile, and they let go. I nuzzle them all before I turn to leave once again.
