//-------------------------------------------------------// A year as a pony. -by bronzedrag0n- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Fall. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Fall. It was a calm afternoon in Canterlot, the sun was setting behind the mountains as Princes Celestia was about to let Princes Luna get prepared for the Night Court, and her other royal duties. Then both the sisters heard something crystal and metal shatter in the royal garden followed by multiple curses that even Celestia haven't heard of. Before the sisters could say anything or act they heard someone yell. "You had to open the portal right on a edge of a bloody tower!" Luna silently moved to the door and gestured to her sister and some guards to follow. Luna pressed her ear against the door to hear a much more softer voice say. "Hey! It's my first time using this dimensional portal thing." The other just let out a long sigh and replied. "You're right, but now we don't have a way to our dimension." There was some noise of metal being brought together and the one with the soft voice said. "Well lets gather the crystal and what's left of your arm and get inside that castle." The guards gave each other worried looks, and before the sisters could give them orders they ran out the door circled the intruders and raised their muskets. To their surprise the intruders weren't ponies like themselves, but before them was a Bipedal wolf and rabbit. The first thing the wolf did was brought up his only good arm "We surrender." and the rabbit followed his lead. As the sisters got closer to the pair they saw that the wolf was in a tattered trench coat that had both sleeves ripped off, his eyes were pure white, and he was missing some of his left ear and that his face and arm had multiple scars, also he is just almost as tall as celestia herself. For the rabbit he was just in shorts and a t-shirt and what they could see was unharmed and was around average height of a full grown stallion. Then Celestia asked them, "Who are you two?" The wolf placed his arm on the rabbit "I am, Eloc, and this here is my life long friend and student, Vinci." The guards were a bit confused that a predator and it's prey would be friends, but they didn't let down their guard. Luna pushed her way past the guards and said in her royal Canterlot voice, "And how did thee get into our royal garden without raising thee alarms?!" Eloc stifled a chuckle and scratched the back of his head. "Uh... Well this might sound crazy but we can open contained black holes leading to different dimensions, the only catch in that you need you be immortal." Luna cocked her head and said. "That theory acutely works?" Before she could probe him more on the subject, but her sister cut in. "What do you mean by immortal." Eloc started to rub a scar around his left eye. "Well where we come from we are considered gods." The guards eyes widened, some of them even backed away as they all lowered their muskets. Celestia stayed steady and said, "So you two can't be killed?" Eloc let out a small laugh and replied, "No. We can be killed by magic, fire, and a five thousand story drop," Vinci scowled at Eloc as the guards with renewed confidence raised and where about to fire when Celestia said, "At ease men they aren't a threat." "So are just going to just leave us alone? Two god-like beings loose around your world?" Vinci enquired. Celestia chuckled. "Oh heavens no, I can't chance you two causing some kind of chaos in my lands." With that her horn had a golden glow to it and within seconds Eloc and Vinci were just two glowing orbs. As it faded their appearances were changed drastically, Eloc was now a pegasus and his scars were now gone and he had a actual arm. For Vinci he was turned into a unicorn. As Vinci studied his transformed body, Eloc just started to feel his new left arm and looked to Celestia to thank her when he realized that he was head level to Vinci's lower torso. He paid no attention to it and asked Celestia. "What exactly did you do to us?" Celestia smiled. "For one I reduced your age to sixteen just incase, next is obvious and I made you mortal."Eloc pulled out a switchblade from his now oversized trench coat and gave one of his fingers a slice and looked at it. After a few seconds he looked back at Celestia. "Well I'm impressed, but what are you going to do with us?" Celestia took Luna by the hand and walked into a nearby hedge maze. Eloc looked at vinci then started to shift through the metal and picked out the shards of crystal. The sisters come back and Celestia said, "We decided for me to adopt Vinci and my sister adopt you," "Well this isn't the first time I was adopted, but, Vinci has a family to get back to," Eloc said. "Well how about this, you two stay for a year, and after that you can either stay here or go back home?" Celestia asked. Eloc looked to Vinci for the answer, Vinci looked to the two sisters and then back to Eloc, then said, "That sounds like a good idea, but what about the files and other stuff like that?" Celestia replied, "We'll deal with that later, but lets go inside and have some tea," "That sounds wonderful," Eloc said as he walked towards the door.
