'You know, I have learned many things, but as a downside, I forget things every so often.' ~Edicor
Edicor began to walk alongside the path, being drawn to the castle which was a feeling of home for him. Along his path was nothing but a peaceful journey. After many years, and I do mean many years, of going around to everywhere he was lead to, he was feeling calm, being not use to that feeling after being nearly killed many times before in the mortal body form. Then again, all that Edicor could remember was peace but even then he still had to leave after awhile.
When Edicor arrived at the first stone road, he took the moment to look around and see how the place has grown, and it sure has from the last time. Edicor stood there looking at the city, and while looking around he happen to run into a guard of sorts, well he wore the armor of one, and accidentally bumped him. "Hey, Watch where your going!" the guard snarled at Edicor and began to walk along the path.
"Well that was rather rude, I didn't even get to say a word before he walked off..." Edicor mumbled to himself.
Edicor began his walk back to the castle, he looked around to find out that he was getting some looks from everypony around, and they seemed to show their stuck up personalty by turning away from him with a "Hmmph!" and a nose stuck into the air so far he figured they were trying to smell the clouds...
'Never really was fond of the stuck up type...' Edicor began to think to himself.
After finally arriving at the castle, he was quickly noted and halted by one of the guards. "Hey, you there!" Edicor turned to face the guard, "Me?" Edicor acted like it could have been somepony else, "Yeah, you. Sorry but nopony is allowed entry at the time being by word of Princess Celestia, you will have to come back another time" the guard stated. "Well I am sorry to say but I have a feeling I should be heading inside now" Edicor plainly stated as he began to walk towards the main entry. As quickly as he started walking he already noticed that a line of guards had pulled together to hold him back, "You are to remain out here until we were given the information that she is finished with what she is doing". Edicor now began to become a tad bit irritated, "Well I am sorry to say but," He raised a hoof into the air and with a swipe motion the guards were moved out of the way, "I need to talk, so stand down, I do not have time for this".
The guards began to panic when they had realized that, an earth pony, had just moved all of the troops that stood before him, with just a motion of his hoof! "How are you doing this" the guard exclaimed at the now entering pony, "Simple but I can never explain it" Edicor replied as though it was common knowledge.

Celestia was in the throne room talking with her student, Twilight Sparkle, about something important most likely if she had all the guards make sure nopony was to interrupt them.
"-So you must keep an eye out for somepony who seems to pulse with strong magic even though he is not a unicorn." Princess Celestia noted to Twilight, who seemed to be confused at the time of how it could be possible, to use magic without a horn, even the though was noted as weird, "Where do you think he will show up?" Twilight asked, curious about the fact that she was never told where he was. Princess Celestia opened her mouth to reply but stopped and looked at the main door which was just opened, and a blue coated earth stallion walked in, "Here it would seem..." Celestia replied, taking note, both Twilight and Celestia felt his magic flow off him, even though he was an earth pony.
"Ah, Celestia! Its been ages hasn't it?" Edicor said as he continued his walk into the throne room.
After that short saying he already noticed that a lavender unicorn and some guards had taken position around the princess. Celestia opened her mouth and began to speak, "Who are you, and how did you get past my guards?" she said with a strong tone of leadership. Edicor raised his eyebrow and quickly noted something, they didn't recognize him. "Oh blast! I knew I forgot something..." he replied remembering the main fact that even he thought he wouldn't forget, this isn't his old form in this place!
"Hold on a minute, need to remember something, and perhaps you will as well!" Edicor said to everypony in the room.
Upon saying that Princess Celestia and Twilight felt his power begin to build in strength, but it was towards himself, the stallion began to glow and was soon beginning to take a new form. His legs were the first to grow, taking a height of slightly taller than Princess Celestia. His body began to take shape along with wings beginning to sprout on his back. The stallions head began to form a horn, his color scheme swapped and turned into a white mane but lighter gray hair, and he finally finished, standing there, a full fledged alicorn.
The guards began to show signs of confusion, being lost about the fact that the stallion before their eyes turned into a alicorn like it was nothing! Twilight looked to her teacher in hope of something being said to help figure out whats going on, but all she saw in Celestia's eyes were just pure shock and, happiness?
"It- It's you! Your back after all this time..." Celestia was talking in pure shock, Edicor just seemed to nod and say "You finally remembered". Celestia began to walk towards the alicorn, now she was near tears, "After all this time, I thought you would have come sooner, we missed you so much". Edicor seemed to be in thought, "How long has it been?" the alicorn asked, Twilight was still in shock that they seemed to know each other, Celestia was now next to the alicorn with full tears pooring out by now, she began to hug the alicorn and said something that everypony was shocked enough to hear.
"I missed you so much Dad..."

Author’s note:
If you are wondering, the main character of the story is someone of power, but I understand your concerns for if he will have too much power. I understand characters have a weakness and such so do not think he will be overpowered.

You can understand when I say, “Time is the key.” for most of that is true. But the thing that stopped me in my own tracks was something I never thought would happen, this story should help enlighten you to the fact that, nothing is impossible, but I learned that the hard way...
Time:
15th century,
Alongside character: Ezio Auditore
“I must say it is good to have you as a friend rather than you be with them” Ezio commented towards a taller man, skinny but still held a proper structure. The man was covered in his cloak and hood showing no sign of his face, “Well, as long as they stand no good shall come from them. So why not end them now so they can not let people suffer more?” the man replied with a hint of a british accent. He jumped off the roof landing onto a guard who was about to end the life of another who just had the luck of running into a guard. “Get off me!” the guard yelled at the man, who in return withdrew his hidden blade and planted it into the back of the guards neck, leaving him to suffocate as blood filled his lungs.
Ezio jumped down landing next to his friend, he turned towards the now startled stranger saying to him, “Quickly get out of here, there is no doubt there will be more soon.”
The man turned and quickly ran repeating the words “Thank you” to the assassins. Ezio quickly looked to the other assassin, “We do not have long Edicor, more of these borgia troops will show up soon.” Edicor responded to his name being called and took to a climb with Ezio following behind him. Upon reaching the top of the building Edicor called out to Ezio, “Let us separate, they will no doubt lose our trail quicker.” Ezio responded with a nod and took off in another direction.
“Now that he is gone, I can cut the act.” Edicor said while seeming to cheer up from his gloom of an attitude before. “Now where did I see that dive...” Edicor mumbled to himself. “Ah there you are!” Edicor exclaimed while finishing his climb, “I’ve seen him do it plenty of times, perhaps I can do it finally”. He took his stance preparing to make a good jump right into the hay bale below. He thought to himself ‘I still don’t understand how you can come out unharmed from this...’ then right there, began his sprint to the end of the pole jumping off. Time slowed as he fell, he felt he had to slow it to enjoy the moment more of a dramatic drop. He began to drop his eyes to what was below him, but what he expected was not there, but in the place of a hay bale was a parting hole in the floor. He know nobody else could see the hole but that still had thrown him off as he know his time here would be cut short. “Oh you have got to be kidding me!” Edicer yelled while falling at a still slow rate. The last thing that went through his head, was a natural thought of ‘Here we go again!’ He clipped his arms next to his sides and speed time back to normal, now being a bit worn out by slowing time for so long.
Little did he expect what he saw upon going through the portal like creation was that he was far in the sky, above a forest, falling at his fast rate. He began to realize that even though he would be alright that he will feel the pain from the impact. Edicor took his descent naturally and when he was near the ground he spun around and landed in a stance of kneeling with his fist firmly planted on the ground. Even if he was a god, well God of time, he quickly landed on his side in pain, not enough to stop him but enough to slow him. “Oh.... and I almost forgot what you felt like...” Edicor mumbled to himself while beginning to stand again. “Might as well take the look of the people of this world, I wonder why I was summoned here...” he began his morph into a, creature with... Hoofs? ‘Odd, this looks familiar...’ He took the form of a local, and with that his memory began its trip to remember the world. The main parts he could remember Equestria, Peaceful, Family...
The word spun around in his head, Family... but, they could be dead for all he knows... Time still passed while he was gone it has been hundreds of years, there wasn't a chance of his family being alive still, but that is when he remembered...
Celestia, Luna, I guess its time
Before heading out he decided to look at himself to see if there was any problem with his transformation, from what he could see he was just a normal earth pony. Blue hair, black mane, and a... mark on his flank, 'Bah the name always escapes me... something mark... something mark. c- cute mark? Oh yeah! Cutie mark, showing what the talent of each individual is.' He took pride in actually remembering the name of what the marks were called, his was... it looked like a chest, closed... perhaps the talent of this body was storage...
He began his walk out of this forest, feeling like he knew it well... 'No matter, I need to get to them, and fast' he began to think to himself. He walked out of the forest without a problem, standing on a road he looked to his right to see where the path lead, it lead to a city that was on the side of a mountain. 'Canterlot...' he thought to himself, 'I think I can still remember the path. He walked to the city to do what needed to be done, return home...
