Suits Me Fine

Prologue: Setting Up The Game

Princess Celestia smiled as she finished reading through Equestria's finances in the middle of Her Day. Standing up she raised her arms above her head and stretched her wings out wide to relieve the tension of not moving for a long time.

Standing up from her desk, she moved towards the mirror to make sure her billowing rainbow mane and tail were still flowing despite her wanting to let both down. Celestia remembered what happened the last time she accidentally left her mane and tail down when she arrived at court. It was absolute pandemonium for at least several minutes until Celestia remembered her mane and tail weren't billowing in an astral breeze.

Tittering in amused embarrassment, Celestia thought to herself, 'Oh my little ponies, sometimes you all seem to take things... a little too far' before being interrupted from her thoughts by the squawking of her pet Phoenix, Philomena. Watching her fly to the cage in a hurry, Celestia just chuckled softly as she said “Oh Philomena, did you have a good flight? I trust that you didn't scare or have too much fun with my little ponies.”

The majestic red bird just smiled as only she could and started to whistle innocently. Celestia just rose an eyebrow at her pet. Celestia sighed, “Well I do hope that it was not Blueblood again. I remember what happened the last time you decided to use his suit as a lavatory.”

While rubbing her head with a hand, Celestia heard Philomena start to whistle more frantically. She gave a slightly exasperated sigh along with a stern look.

“Philomena, I know most ponies and I give you a lot of leeway but my dear nephew, well, is a bit more high strung. Remember?” Celestia chastised slightly as she continued to give Philomena a disappointed look.

Philomena squawked and shuddered in fear as she as she remembered how she was chased by the Prince throughout the castle managing to somehow levitate three swords and swing them at her as well as telekinetically throwing various objects and furniture at her. Interestingly he managed to pick up only the non-expensive things and leave the priceless artifacts alone. Who knew that when pushed, the snobby whinny Prince could become a beast of utter rage and only because she couldn't get out in time and needed to go.

Celestia's stern visage slowly loosened as she raised her hand to softly pet Philomena. “I worry when you take your jokes too far Philomena. I don't like seeing you hurt for any reason,” she stated quietly as her pet cooed and shoved her head into Celestia's hand.

Celestia froze when she felt a minor Flux in Equestria's magical field. Turning her head with ears flicking, she tried to discern why such a minor flux disturbed her. Deciding that it wasn't a threat to her ponies, Celestia turned to Philomena to continue to slightly chastise her.

Before she could do so, she was interrupted by two of her Royal Guards, pegasi, knocking on her open door. Celestia turned to the guards with a motherly smile as she answered, “Yes, my little ponies?” The guards entered the room and saluted by thumping a fist to their breastplate and the one on the left spoke up.

“Princess Celestia, it is time to begin the Solar Court. We are here to escort Your Majesty to the Court for today,” He spoke stoically as he stood as ridgid as a statue. Sighing softly Celestia turned to Philomena and said, “We are not done with this conversation my friend.”

Philomena sighed in relief as Celestia turned to the guards speaking to them, “Let's go, my little ponies.” Before squawking in indignation as her cage was locked by Celestia's golden magic.

“Remember what I said I would do if you bothered Blueblood again, Philomena? Also this makes sure that when I am done we will finish our conversation. Dust Feathers will make sure you'll be okay while I'm at Solar Court, bye!” Celestia called out to Philomena as she walked out the door with her guards, horn aglow and shut the door as soon as she passed.

Philomena sighed as she sat in her cage waiting for Dust Feather to arrive and feed her, wondering why Celestia went still and looked towards the horizon not knowing that what Celestia felt was not only a True Major Flux in reality, but one that was muted to allow something into Equestria under the Diarch's nose.

Deep within a Void, an Elderitch god, who's form was a black humanoid about four feet tall with the only distinguishing thing about him being his bright orange Greek comedy mask, stood in front of a crystal ball showing him that he was successful in hiding his new Avatar from the Diarchs of Equestria. Laughing quietly to himself Nyath'tac spoke to himself rubbing his chin.

“This day just couldn't get any better! The Diarchs are too lazy/busy to double check even my sloppiest of cover work, I got the seemingly best Avatar choice in years (let's hope he doesn't die stupidly like the last ones) and I am already more amused than I have been in over a millennium...”
Nyath'tac entire body shook like jello as he barely contained more laughter.

“I wonder, my Avatar, what you will be? A cruel-hearted villain who'll rule the world with an iron fist? A kind-hearted Guardian, protecting those who need it? Or take the middle path and do what you please? Pffft, I just hope he is indeed smarter than the last three...”

He trailed off grumbling as he watched as his Avatar slowly awaken in his new world.
