Memories Of Days Past

Chapter One

        Walking, something I seem to have done a lot the past few years, well enough of my musing, back to it….

Following his lead we left the hospital with haste, and luckily we didn't bump into any of my friends along the way. Now that we were relatively far from the hospital I decided to ask where we were headed.

Suddenly he stops and looks at me with his usual blank stare, “To get the answers you want after all that is why you are following me, is it not?”

I was about to immediately respond but I actually thought about it, and realized why am I actually doing all this, I could care less about this, it doesn’t concern me at all. Why, that is the real question, all I could respond was, “I really don’t know why, but I’m already doing this, so why not.”

His face still not revealing emotions, he turned around and started to walk again, it had looked like we were headed to the Everfree Forest, but we had made a full circle around town. Still I was blindly trusting this total stranger with this, little did I know back then, we were being followed.

He stops and holds out a hoof, turns around and leans in close to my ear and whispers, “Do not panic and look back, but we are being followed, tell me where do you live for we shall stay there until I have rested up.”

I remember the tension I felt, it was intoxicating, the feel of my nerves on hypersensitive, my muscles tensing up, how had I never noticed this before, but  before I get too distracted let’s continue.

Still unsure to to say, I quickly mumbled out an affirmative, and now I had taken the lead with him walking at a steady rate next to me. Surprisingly I didn’t notice that we had to get through the town market to get to the library, well shit, hopefully I don’t run into any of my friends here, it’ll be hard explaining to them why a total stranger was following me. I scurried myself through the marketplace, now at the other side of the market, my home, the library was now in sight, it was right there, but of course luck would have it I ran into the pony I really didn’t want to meet right now, Pinkie Pie.

“Hiya Twilight, what’s up, who’s that with you, where are you going, is he new, cause I haven't seen him before?” but before one response could come out of my mouth, she had zipped over to him and rapid firing questions at him.

He looked at her with a small frown on his mouth, but calmly spoke to her, “I am here with Ms. Sparkle to conduct some research, and it is awfully late so we must be on our way, adiu Ms.”

All I could do was nod my head up and down, and mumble in agreement, still a bit shocked at how fast he had gotten over Pinkie Pie and her behavior. Without dwelling too much on it, we walked with a purpose to the library, I opened the door and hurried inside turned on the lights, but to my surprise I saw the strangest thing to this day nothing has ever come close to the awe and inspiration I felt when I looked at this…. thing. It’s really hard to describe what it was in words, imagine an ocean, but in it were these spheres, they have a glassy look to them, and they moved slowly in an orbit, like a solar system there was a center point.

Slowly I walk deeper into the library, I turn around to see him look at me and say, “This is where I come from,” pointing to a little sphere near the edge of the “image”.

With a questioned expression on my face, “What is this, and where is that.”

He seemed bored as I asked those questions, but eventually answered me, “This is the Multiverse, each of those marbles is a plane, or what you know as a dimension. We are planeswalkers, we are one of the few, some say we are cursed others say we have a gift, but at the end we are the Multiverses’ most powerful, deadly and even its protectors or destroyers.”

Back then I was shocked, we were not alone in the universe/ Multiverse, but what shocked me even more was that I was one of them, what made me intrigued was how he knew that I was one of these “planeswalkers” but in his usual fashion, he speaks up, “How I knew you were a planeswalker is simple, you can see the multiverse, if you were not, then when I was pointing to my origin you would have seen me point to someplace called Canterlot.”

Well, since he answers my questions before I can ask them we were met with an awkward silence, since nothing else had to be said we just sat there and looked at the Multiverse floating around us.

He spoke up at this point now, “You know, we were never properly introduced, my name is Kyra Mykolos and I hail from Terra Firma.”

“Well, alright, my name Is Twilight Sparkle and I hail from Equs,” I promptly replied.

He then proceeded to talk some more, “You know my home plane, it was a beautiful place, not like this kind of place it was more, raw and natural. I used to have a home, friends but then they came….,enough of that, what I am trying to say is you  have a choice, leave your home, friends, family, everything, or leave and see the wonders of many planes, entire universes unexplored, finding the knowledge that was lost in the annals of time. But in the end the choice is your Twilight Sparkle, do you want to find and discover worlds beyond your own, or be trapped here knowing that there are others like this world, and you will never see them. Chose when you want, tell me your answer in three days time, I will be near the south end of the town, for now, Adiu.”
