An Adventure Gone Right?

“You seem to have made amends with all your friends or should I say… Lovers” A familiar voice rang out from the darkness where I now stood, the castle began to materialize around me as I realized I was dreaming. “I have got to say I am proud that you managed to not only tell them about you and the mission you are on but also managed to strengthen the bond with them further,” Eterna spoke while stepping into my field of view. She looked horrible compared to when we previously met, her mane was dishevelled, her fur was unkempt and had tufts all over the place, her eyes looked bloodshot and she panted with exhaustion and almost fell over every few seconds.

“Eterna are you okay?” I spoke while rushing over to her and helping her to stand up using my body to keep her upright, what was going on with her? I questioned while looking up at her soft distraught eyes, slightly covered by her unkempt mane.

“I am fine Jesse but you mustn’t come back here from now on until we meet in Equestria.” Eterna spoke while glancing around in fear, What does she mean? I continued thinking Is somepony trying to hurt her?

“Eterna” I looked up at her, locking eyes with her. “What happened here” I almost demanded.

“Nazaret and Blaire paid me a little visit while… trying to destroy you.” Eterna groaned while propping herself up further by using me, “I fought them off as best I could but they seriously weakened me and will return if you stay.”

“So you may just want to leave” an unknown voice finished for Eterna before stepping through one of the doors in the castle, I turned around and was met by a figure that looked almost exactly opposite to Eterna.

She held a regal look about her that Eterna held most of the time; now being an exception. She had razor sharp teeth and seemed to enjoy showing them off; whenever she spoke she made sure her teeth were visible.

“Unless you wish to perish” A more familiar and malicious voice rang out before Blaire stepped out from behind the unknown Alicorn, holding his hand on his sheathed blade. “Long time no see,” Blaire said while waving softly with a grin adorning his face.

“Jesse you need to wake up and finish the first part of your quest in the next week otherwise” Eterna wasn’t able to finish; I was blasted away from her and hit the back of the room, with a loud and bone shattering crunch I was left suspended in the wall.

“JESSE!” Eterna shouted out as I slid to the floor with a loud groan, “Nazaret! You monster!” She shouted while spreading her wings and gliding over to me as I tried to stand. “Jesse, wake up. NOW! Otherwise she will kill you in your dreams,” Eterna pleaded and I was just about to agree with her when I realized that she was probably hurt because of these two and in her weakened state she would be no match.

“Sorry Eterna but” I tried to finish standing and heard my bones crack and pain flared through my body as I let out a shrill scream, “That hurt like a bitch” I finished with a breath. I felt a warmth flow over my body as Eterna stood there with a white glow covering her horn, I felt my bones painlessly crack and shape back together in a way that left me all tingly. “I can’t leave my queen alone against these horrible people” Just as I finished speaking Eterna fell to her knees, panting from exhaustion.

“I can’t keep this dream world up for much longer and I can’t let that other Alicorn find where my body appears,” Eterna coughed out while weakly looking up at me. Nodding gently I ran my hand along Eterna’s mane before turning back to face the two horribly evil ponies.

“Don’t worry Eterna I’ll make them leave long before you run out of magic” I promised before pulling my blade out and getting into a stance.

“Well it looks like he wants to actually fight you Blaire” the Alicorn now known as Nazaret mused as a toothy grin spread across her face. “You want to experience death so quickly?” she stated rather than asked before turning her back to me, “We are leaving.”

Blaire’s face fell at this “But I want to fight and kill this nuisance” he was about to add more but was silenced with a glare from the evil Alicorn.

“We will wait until the day of celebrating before we attack, just after the marriage” Nazaret spoke before they started to distort and fade from my dream.

“Oh no you don’t” I shouted while running towards the pair with my sword raised high, I was however too slow and they disappeared long before I would’ve reached them. I growled in anger, swinging my sword around in the air as if they were there but invisible.

“Jesse” I heard Eterna call my name and upon spinning in place found her standing with difficulty, “This plane will disappear soon and I will await your arrival at my location.” Eterna sat down on her throne and with a groan set her gaze upon me.

“When should I set off to train under your guidance?” I questioned while my sword made a small metallic hiss as it was sheathed, seemingly angry it was not able to destroy Blaire.

“Once you have gained the final Element holders’ love and adoration the location will sear itself into your mind. This is when you will set out.”

It was at the end of this sentence that I woke up with a start and found my bed to be vacated.

Well vacated mostly, except there seemed to be a rather asleep princess of the day clinging to me as she slept softly, it was rather cute actually. I ran my hand through her mane while closing my eyes and letting a semi loud yawn escape from my lips, my body instinctively stretching out and cracking.

Once my stretch and yawn was done I noticed that my hand was still travelling through Celestia’s mane and now I was more awake I began to wonder why she was in my bed with me, even if she was wearing clothing much like the other’s hadn’t been, it was still strange to see her in my bed. Also I couldn't shake this sickening feeling in my gut, it was almost painful and bugged the back of my head.

But more importantly where are Twilight and the others.

I began to shift in my bed but found Celestia had a grip of iron and refused to let me wiggle away as she held on tight and yawned softly, her eyes half opened and she stared straight at me with a sultry smile. “Good morning Jesse” she said while moving close to me and breathing gently onto my neck, oh god please don’t let this happen I prayed to myself as she approached my face with each passing second. I was resigning to my fate just as the door burst open and five mares stood there, each holding a plate that had some sort of breakfast meal on it.

What’s with the Breakfast in bed all of a sudden

“Good Mor-” They spoke in chorus before stopping as their gaze dropped to their Princess and their Lover who looked to be in the middle of something very private, I could’ve sworn I heard a set of knuckles crack from behind Twilight whose mane was starting to change colour and texture.

“This isn’t what you think” I yelled out and was about to explain when Celestia slammed her lips into mine and with a sultry glaze in her eyes began to kiss me, her tongue trying to gain entrance to my mouth but I was denying her; didn’t do much as she managed to slam it in anyway.

From behind Celestia I heard five separate gasps and a primitive growling Oh no please spare my life I began to pray again before pushing Celestia off of me finally, the Alicorn princess Sighed with displeasure as she fell next to me on the bed. In any other situation I would’ve spoken to her about why I had to do that but at the moment I felt my attention should be directed at the five mares whom were staring at me with the intent to kill. “I feel we were much happier before Celestia came to visit” I mumbled before rolling off of the bed as a bolt of magic hit the headboard right where I had previously been; next to the previous mark from last night. I hit the floor hard and as I prepared for another bolt of magic I heard another collection of gasps. “Huh what is it?” I inquired while slowly lowering my arms from my face and opening my eyes to see everypony staring at my body, or more to the point what was scarring my body.

“H-How did that happen?” I heard Twilight ask while staring at me with fear in her eyes, Rarity and AppleJack also held the same look in their eyes.

I Looked down at my body and finally noticed something that wasn’t there before and I felt my breath catch as lacerations covered my body, all of them old and scabbed over about ready to reveal new flesh from beneath. But what really got me scared as it probably also scared the rest was the large black circle that covered my stomach right where I remember Blaire had been stomping me into the ground, I gingerly touched the mark and instantly groaned in pain while clutching the fabric of my pants hard in hopes to settle the pain.

“Jesse?” Rainbow questioned. “What in Celestia’s name is that” She pointed at my chest while slowly approaching with the others in tow behind her,  closely looking over the black bruise that covered half my chest. Looking around at each of them I saw fear and pain in their eyes to see what had happened to the person they loved and cared for, even Celestia looked concerned although she also look sad because she seemed to know something the others didn’t.

“Well I don’t know where I should start” I tried to play it off as a joke and scratched the back of my head in hopes they would forget about how serious it looked, they didn’t and it seemed my attempt to distract them only frightened them more.

“Jesse please just tell us” Rarity spoke from behind Rainbow, I could only see her horn from my perspective but I knew she would be holding the same look as every other mare in the room. Even Spike was pushing his way to the front of the group and I’m sure it wasn’t to murder me for sleeping with his crush, he hadn’t said anything yet but I could tell he was pretty pissed at me.

“Yah need tah explain this tah us” AppleJack spoke while taking her hat off and holding it at her chest. Now I didn’t know much about AJ’s connection to that hat but even I knew that if she was removing her hat then she was serious and really wanted me to tell them what was happening.

“I would like to know as well,” Celestia spoke from the corner of my eye, I noticed her place the hat on her head backwards so that the horn went through the little hole at the back, I had no idea what it was called and wasn’t going to try and name it now.

“Well I guess I should begin with the real reason I was brought to this world” I said with a small phantom of a smile, I was defeated and these mares knew they would get everything out of me now, Eterna, The sword, Blaire, they would get absolutely everything. But what I couldn’t place my finger on was why these injuries were showing up now instead of before.

“Come on Everypony” AppleJack called “We better get settled for this here story” She finished before trotting out of the room and was quickly followed by everyone else, everyone else except for Celestia who just stared at me for a few more; wanting to say something but seeming to stop herself just before she opened her mouth.

Story Time Again

I was pacing around the main area of the library thinking of how to begin from the start without leaving anything out this time, Guess I should start from the very beginning of the day this started I thought to myself. “This all began on the day of my 20th birthday” I began and saw Pinkie brighten up when I mentioned my birthday, she was quickly silenced however when everyone glared at her as if to say ‘Shut it Pinkie or we swear we will buck you up’

“It was like a lot of my other birthdays, Blindfolded to my parents’ house by my best friend, surprised and then party with my friends and family; just the usual.” I shrugged it off and looked over the couch where Pinkie seemed to be begging for more details on my party, ignoring her I continued onwards. “During my party I found my father, Harold.” Upon saying this Celestia perked up and was about to say something, she however was silenced by the same glares that silenced Pinkie.

“He seemed to be tearing up for some unknown reason. I asked him what was wrong but he was unable to accurately tell me what was bugging him, but he told me it was something from his past, it was also at this time he gave me the sword as a present.” I unsheathed my sword and showed it to them which wasn’t anything new, Celestia however gasped in newfound admiration for a reason I didn’t understand.

“Let’s just say my mother was not pleased when I came back to the party with my new sword and she tried her hardest to get it away from me, she wouldn’t tell me why but I think what’s happened is why” I motioned to the library and its inhabitants. “Once the party was over I left my parents’ house and began to walk home, I didn’t have a car at the time” Everyone seemed confused at the word car but I ignored them although I needed to explain cars a little for the next part. “Cars are like carriages only motorised and don’t need something to pull or push them but instead use fuel as power.” I watched Twilight scribble this down onto a piece of paper, “So I continued my walk home but as I was crossing a road a large truck hit me.” They all seemed confused as to what a truck was “A truck is a car but much larger and way more dangerous to be hit by. So I was hit by this truck and surely would’ve died but just as it collided with my body, hitting my head first I was sent into this world high up in the air. I began to fall and the shear force from the truck hitting me had sent my head swimming between consciousness and unconsciousness, I passed out a few times while falling to my inevitable doom.”

“I remember that” Celestia spoke with a smile, “I caught you” She stated proudly.

"And broken a bone or two of his" I heard and couldn't help but smile.

I rolled my eyes before continuing again, “So I woke up in Hospital blah blah blah you know that bit. I began to live my life here and my thoughts of returning home seemed to fade away into nothing more than a small bug in my mind, although sometimes I still wish I could return home, even if just for a day to tell my parents I was okay” A small sniffle escaped me when I realised how impossible that seemed now.

“Then I discovered when I used Twilight’s element that it could combine with my sword. I seemingly mastered Twilight’s Element of Harmony after we… ‘Mated’ and declared our love” I blushed and found the lavender mare to be blushing brightly as well, though it was slightly hidden under her fur. “Then Rainbow Dash offered to help me train since using an Element was really taxing on my stamina and I was utterly defeated after using Twilight’s Element so much it was practically killing me.” I groaned while remembering how tired I was after all the training with Twilight’s Element.

“So I began to train under Rainbow’s watchful eye and soon managed to attract her interest, she also attracted mine I will admit. We continued training for a week under the pretence of a bet but enough about that, during this time however I met somepony whom I doubt you have ever met.”

“Blaire?” I heard Twilight ask causing me to tilt my head gently; “I heard Celestia talking about his return” she admitted and folded her ears down in shame for eavesdropping.

“No” I assured her, “I met him later in my dreams, I actually met-”

“Eternite, the creator of our universe.” Celestia spoke with fascination as I stared at her in shock while mouthing ‘How?’ “Oh, yeah! my mother used to always tell me stories of two sisters much like Luna and Myself who were polar opposites. They were known as Eternite and Nazaret” Celestia spoke proudly.

I smiled softly at this “Yes I met Eternite or as I refer to her Eterna and she told me about what I needed to do and why I was able to accomplish it, my quest simply entailed mastering all Elements and defeating Blaire in combat.” I felt like I was about to be jumped but they held themselves back due to how I’d already proven that I loved them, even if they felt a little hurt at this news. “I was told by Eterna I could accomplish this and form the most powerful bond possible which is Love. Simply due to the fact my heart was big enough to fit many mares or stallions into it evenly.”

“At first I denied this but Eterna began to tell me more about it, I believed in everything she began telling me and she soon was like my mother for this world” I admitted with a hint of blush at how stupid that sounded. “I carried out her will, even though I forgot about it half the time. I fell for each of you just like you did me and we forged a bond which Eterna said would last longer than we would live. It was all running smoothly until I fell for Pinkie after our little tumble” I spoke and Pinkie winked at me, ‘she wasn’t even trying to hide it’ I thought to myself.

I noticed Twilight gasp at this and seemed disturbed by this somewhat, I didn’t ask her since I wanted to continue my story. “While I was sleeping with Pinkie I returned to Eterna’s castle in my dreams and this is when I met Blaire” I spat his name and held my stomach gently while remembering the thrashing he put me through. “Eterna told me to leave but I couldn’t let him and his three buddies hurt Eterna so I decided to fight him, let’s just say that it didn’t really turn out the best in my favour right from the get go,” I tried to laugh it off but felt the condescending glares of everyone stop my laugh. “This huge bruise is from him literally stomping me into the ground while using his equivalent to AppleJack’s Element. It was brutal and I was throwing up blood.”

“We know because you were bleeding and convulsing in reality as well” Rainbow spoke and received an agreement from Pinkie and AppleJack.

“Tis true SugerCube” AppleJack added.

“Yeah it was like strawberry frosting all over the place” Pinkie giggled before getting serious, her hair flattening and her eyes adopting a crazy look, “Except it wasn’t frosting.” Then her hair was back to normal and she sat there bouncing in place again.

“What. really?” I was in shock “I remember liquid being around the place when I woke up but didn’t think that was from me, even when you told me it was mine I still doubted it.” I shook this sense of fear that began to fill me “Anyway I defeated him by swapping one of my elements for another and slashed him up something fierce before he and I passed out.

Eterna then healed me up which lasted for a while but now you can see all the injuries I took. They still feel fresh and I can tell you now that if you were to hit me right here” I placed my hand gently on the bruise “I would probably pass out, the only reason I survived his beating was because of AppleJack’s Element strengthening my body.” I noticed the orange mare blush when I gave her the credit to my survival. “My life returned to normal after that and my visits to Eterna began to decrease until last night when I returned and found her beaten and really exhausted, she told me her magic supply was starting to run out and she would need to rest until she could get herself better.”

“Wow I’ve never heard of Eternite running out of Magic” Celestia breathed, “Not even when she created the Universe.”

“Well she told me that when we met it was on an alternate dimensional plane, anyway off topic. I found her and quickly tried to get her propped up and better, but as I was helping her I heard Nazaret and Blaire come out of the shadows while berating me. I was about to help Eterna but Nazaret hit me with a blast of magic that sent me soaring into the wall leaving a large crater and obliterating a few of my bones. Eterna healed me up and I was going to go fight Blaire and Nazaret but they left before I could get to them, Eterna told me that I needed to stay away from that world otherwise they would keep returning. She then gave me the thought that she would be leaving that plane and awaiting me to visit her at a discrete location once I fell for all Element holders to train under her watchful eyes, since she made the sword and elements. But I guess when she destroyed that plane she also destroyed the magic that kept these injuries healed up and although I don’t feel any broken bones it seems that my skin still shows the damage.”

“So you are telling all of us that you have fought that dastardly Blaire, the evil unicorn that almost enslaved all of Equestria six millenia ago?” Rarity questioned with a look of pure shock.

I nodded slowly “Yeah I did and I came out of it a lot worse than he did” I motioned to my stomach before turning around and showing off the bruise that covered my entire back from the night before, this sent large gasps around the room yet again.

“Well then” Celestia spoke being the first to recover from the shock of the bruise covering my back, “I guess you must need to go and connect with the final Element” she winked at me while finishing.

“I agree with that” Twilight spoke next, “Although I’d rather have you to myself herds or harems are not a strange occurrence in Equestria, so I guess we could form one” she finished and was met with a chorus of agreement.

“Well you can’t really rush these things,” I tried to speak but was overpowered by the shear loudness of their agreement; it was actually amazing that they were so happy I was off to fall for another mare, almost as if they didn’t care what I did.

“I guess I better go and do that then” I waved the group of Ponies off before heading towards the door, albeit painfully. ‘What is with them, acting so casual and wanting me to go out and get into another mares’ pants’

Well anyway, hopefully Fluttershy can take a look at my injuries
