Understanding it does not mean I can Control it
Pesky animals
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight Sparkle watched through the window of the train car as the newly restored Crystal Empire vanished over the horizon. She looked to the ceiling and sighed. It had been a trying day... and her mind kept wandering back to the flare she saw just before the train crashed. The train crashed into a large snowfall just before the train station, luckily no pony was injured. As she thought back to the flare the door to the room violently slide open. Bursting into the room with a pained look on his face Spike belched out a book.
"Jeez, I hope whatever book Princess Celestia sent was important... That really hurt." The purple drake moaned and flopped onto the seat across from Twilight. The purple mare picked up the book in her magical grip, "I wonder what..." The book was plain and didn't have a title. Opening the book showed a letter tucked next to the cover. The envelope was plain save for Twilight's name hastily scrawled on the front. She opened the letter, and could immediately tell it was written with haste.
First, Twilight Sparkle, Congratulations. Word has already reached Celestia and I that you were successful in helping the Crystal Empire. Although you and your friends no doubt deserve rest, it would seem that fate has brought yet another age old enemy back to us. The book I have sent you is one of my journals from when the capital was still inside the Everfree. On page forty-five you will find the accurate accounting of the Everfree Forest Fire that killed over three thousand ponies and two hundred assorted members of other species. This is the true story that we had to clear from history. The cause was not a stray elemental, but a being of unknown origin and just recently Celestia and I encountered it again. It was petrified in our old castle. We battled and lost. I must go now, Tia is still resting and I must tend to her.
-Princess Luna
Twilight was shocked, but nonetheless she proceeded to open the journal. An enemy the Princess' might combined could not vanquish?
I absolutely hate these damned ponies. When I woke up, my body having recovered enough Psynergy, I was smartly tied up in a small hut in the middle of a forest.. When I broke free, for how smartly I was tied up it was a simple fireball to break out, and started to run out I discovered it was the small zebra I saved that tied me up. I promptly knocked her on the head with the flat of my blade and ran. After running for what was probably a good ten or twenty minutes I came across a path. With no better options and the want to get the hell out of the forest, I started to head down the path hoping I was running to the bit that leads out of the forest.
After what felt like hours of running, I tripped and tumbled out of the forest. Lying on my back and looking at the sky, I could hear my heart thumping in my ears. I jumped up to have a look and lost hope. Right before me was a medium sized settlement full of ponies. I was still somewhat far out from the town and I didn't think any spotted me. Outlying the village was a small cottage, far enough away for me to slip in and try to hide and hope against the odds the owner wasn't in.
Sneaking up to the house was easy, it would seem getting in would be the hard part. Looking in a nearby window I saw a few animals inside, just some birds and a rabbit. I stood up and tried the door handle to find it locked. Luckily all those years of forgetting my keys paid off because I happened to have my multi-tool and a bobby pin in my pocket. The lock was way too easy, though I suppose if the ponies needed to have a blacksmith make it then it would be. I stepped into the house and locked the door behind me just to be sure. That's when I heard a faint thumping from behind me. I turned and saw the rabbit giving me a disappointed look. What the hell? I'm already in the land of sentient ponies, why not rabbits too? I can't wrap my head around this place.
While I was staring at it, the rabbit hopped up and tried to kick my head. I guess this was it's owner's home and it was trying to get me out. Really lucky I was on guard, have to be when breaking into a house, otherwise it would have landed. "Guard!" I boosted my defence in the case something else decides to hit me from behind. It was a simple matter to knock out the rabbit with a tap to the back of it's head with my gloved fist. I was not prepared for what happened next though. Just as I turned away from the door and rabbit, I heard a bear growl. My eyes were just in time to see it sweep it's paw into my side, knocking me across the room and into the wall, rendering me unconscious yet again. Some Adept I am.
Along a forest path walked a special man and this man wielded an immense power. He wielded it for the greater good, even though his fighting years were behind him. This man, dressed in impressive looking armour with a radiant yellow sword on his back, shrugged off the monsters jumping at him from the forest. Normally this blonde haired hero would defeat all monsters to make the world a better place, but this time he was in a hurry. He had a friend, a red haired man also in impressive looking armour, following behind that would surely take care of the beasts. Today was an important day after all. It was the fifteenth anniversary of the Sun shining. A young child, barely younger than the man himself at the time, went missing the day the Sun shone. This man and his red haired ally were heading to their old friend's house. Their old friend is an old man. The old man had been working on a way to find the boy that went missing since they found out he did three years after the Sun shone. Word was the old man found something out.
Ahead on the path the blonde haired man saw the small cottage the old man now lived in. The old man was standing outside looking at the man, then behind him. The man glanced behind him to see his red haired friend catching up to him. They nodded to each other and continued to the house. All three smiled as the two walked up to the third.
The blond haired man was the first to speak. "I assume this isn't just a social call, Kraden?" The old man smoothed his white hair back and pulled on his beard. "I wish it was Isaac, but until then, why don't you and Garet come in and have a seat? I'm very close to finding the child. As it turns out, he was pulled to a different world when the Sun shone.... We will speak more inside. Come in, please." Isaac and Garet gladly walked in and took a seat in Kraden's living room, both on the edge already, eager to hear more. Kraden sat down in front of them and began to tell the two how he thought that the young child Aran was pulled to another world.
