As we cast my perceptions away from the worlds beyond and prepared to rest we felt a strange shift somewhere as if some balance of power had shifted. Inquisitively we cast our eyes back into the realms in search of what could have caused such a palpable reaction on the Planes, few event would make the worlds acted as if some sort of deity had been born.

After some searching we eventually found the source of this disturbance. Coming from quite the interesting world.
Equus.
Yes, Equus, we were quite familiar with this world. We had found it to be something quite special in the past, a world where the bonds of friendship could overcome any obstacle, a most interesting prospect indeed. Truly the Goddess and the rest of The Pantheon had put their all into this world for it to have turned out the way it did. It had been so long since We had last checked on it, so long in fact that it seems the Pantheon had decided to leave the world alone for a while.

Now it was our turn to create.

We cast our mind down to the realm below searching for that unicorn I had heard so much about. She had rescued a monarch and defeated a deity last time I had heard. Yes she is the one we would look for.

We eventually found our way to that odd little place they called Canterlot on the side of the mountain. Surely if Twilight was here then the Princesses would also be there, maybe the rest of the Elements would be there too.

This will be a most interesting meeting to observe we thought gleefully to ourself. But that glee was quickly replaced with confusion as we noticed all the banners bearing lavender stars hung throughout the street.

Odd. The Equines have never celebrated Twilight's actions like this before. Surely it must have been quite the achievement for them to hang these banners throughout the city we thought, hastening our search for the young unicorn, who we eventually found in the palace courtyard wings and all.

...

Wings?

This was most odd, a mere mortal becoming an alicorn was unheard of here, and what she could have possibly done to be considered worthy of such a gift was beyond us. This was clearly Celestia's doing.

'Speak of the Devil and he shall come' was the saying if we remember correctly and as the saying goes Celestia did arrive in the courtyard along with Luna and their neice and began to converse with the newly crowned monarch. We decided to observe them so as to glean some information on the current state of things in Equestria.

We did find some useful insight into the current state of the world, Discord had been reformed, Cadence had been crowned ruler of the Crystal Empire which had apparently come back and Twilight had apparently defeated some sort of thaumophage as well. But the majority of the conversation was mere small talk about their families but Celestia soon steered the conversation to the recent coronation.

"Twilight I would like to personally congratulate for what you have accomplished today," Celestia said with pride,"Few would have shown such resolve in the face of a predicament like yours, I am so proud of what you have become."

"Yes congratulations are in order."

Their reaction was less than positive, every one of them began conjuring up every spell they could think of and were clearly expecting a fight (maybe I should have dialed back on the booming echoes in my speech) Luna in particular seemed eager to fight.

"Show yourself fiend or will I have to force thou to do so myself?"

"Oh Selene, please show a little courtesy"

The look of shock on her face clearly denoted that it had been quite some time since someone had referred to her by that name and had seemed to have broken her focus as the glow of her horn blinked out completely.

"Who are you?" Luna asked instinctively directing her gaze to the sky. Odd how corporeals always respond that way.

"Oh, we have gone by many names in many tongues but you can call me...Animad"

"Annie for short?" Cadence replied.

"..."

"I'm sorry did I offend you?"

The small boulder that connected with her face soon after indicated 'yes'.

"Cadence! Are you okay?" Twilight screamed as she lifted Cadence from the floor who was too busy staring blankly into space.

'All I fell is pain' was all they were able to get out of her for the rest of the conversation so they turned their attention back to us, or rather they looked in what they presumed was our general direction.

"Why would you do that!" Twilight exclaimed as her the ends of her mane started to crackle, we would have to give her an explanation before she had another magical meltdown. Not that we feared for our own safety or anything, we were outside her reality she could not harm us out here. Canterlot on the other hand would not as lucky.

"She insulted us so we dealt swift high mineral justice upon her"

"You can't just go around and throw boulders at ponies that upset you!" Twilight exclaimed clearly exasperated by our act of divine reckoning.

"I can and I will. Cadence should be considered lucky, you should have seen what happened to the last pony that upset us. We taught his world how to create powerful spells that bathed the world in corrupted phoenix fire forever wiping his world clean of life and we left him alone to wander the ruins of his beloved home for all eternity,"

We were not aware that a pony's pupils could shrink to such minuscule proportions.

"What are you?" Twilight asked from behind Celestia.

"I am immortal, younger than none older than all. Any other questions?"

Cadence slowly and shakily picked herself up from the floor having somewhat recovered from the boulder.

"Ieeeee gotsa question," she slurred "how much wood can a woodchuck chuck if I divide by harmony?"

None, because harmony is not a wood also that isn't a logical question

"Arrr you insulmiting my brainigence? Ya wanna fight?" Cadence replied raising her hooves as if preparing to...box? Do ponies box? We would have to find out later.

"No, but I do want you to leave," and with that Cadence was gone leaving only her horseshoes and her tiara in her wake.

"Where did you just send her?" Twilight asked with some muted shock.

"To a hospital to treat the large concussion that I have most likely given her, any other topics you would wish to discuss?"

Twilight just stared up with an open jaw at how nonchalant we were about giving a member of the royal family a head injury. "You know what? It is too late in the day for me to be dealing with this right now, can we pick this up tomorrow? We could provide you a room in the castle,"

"Oh that won't be necessary, we don't believe that you would have a room large enough for us anyway"

"Not enough space?" Twilight said with a raised eyebrow "How big are you? Actually the better question would be where are you?"

"We won't tell you where we are, that is a conundrum for you to solve. We'll even make it easier for you, we'll blink once,"

"You will close thine eyes once?" said Luna "How wouldst that possibly aid us-BY CELESTIA'S BEARD!"

"Beard? I don't have a beard, what could possibly make you think I have a-MOTHER OF ME! "

During all this Twilight just stood there jaw dropping near to the point of complete dislocation at the sight before her.

The sight of the moon and stars blinking.

"Well it would seem you have found us. Save all your questions for tomorrow. Sleep well,"

With our conversation brought to an abrupt end we blinked the princesses away to their chambers.

Yes I thought to myself. This will be most intriguing.

Author's Note
