The time wanderer

Rainbow dash ran up to her friends in excitement, she had just won the game for the soccer team.

"Did you see me out there?! I was awesome!" She said.

"Well I have to admit, that was impressive." A stranger said, he was sitting higher up on the bleachers. he had shoulder length hair, blue eyes, he was wearing a red, long sleeved, plad flannel shirt with khaki pants and black leather boots.

"Um, not to be rude, but who are you?" Rainbow asked.

"Ah yes, the eternal question, who are we? Are we just tiny specs on a floating peace of dust or do we have a purpose that's unknown." The stranger said with a smile.

"That's not what I meant, I meant WHO are YOU." Rainbow said.

"I'm a man with special gifts, abilities that allow me to see the most humbling sites in the universe, billions of years of history right at my finger tips. In short, I'm a time wanderer."

"A time what?"

"A time wanderer, an immortal/invincible man that can travel through time to learn about the universes past and future. What ever changes a time wanderer has made to a past event is undone once he leaves that time period. We can manifest whole dimension right next to your own and fill them with portals to all the different time periods. Some people call us living gods but I don't like being called that, it make us sound all mighty and perfect. But trust me, we are far from perfect." The stranger said. "But you can call me Chris."

"Well, Chris, I don't believe that you can actually Travel through time." Rainbow said mockingly.

"I figured you wouldn't, that's why I prepared this." Chris snapped his fingers and a rectangular shaped portal opened. Inside was a flat grass plains with more portals in a big ring. The sun was at high noon in this dimension, yet it was sundown in Canterlot. Rainbow and the group stepped inside.

"What is this place?" Rainbow asked.

"It's an alternate dimension, I call it my portal dimension. I have portals to go to every time period, era or epoch. It always stays noon here and the grass is very soft, care to lie down?" Chris said. Rainbow sat down and felt the grass, it felt soft to the touch and it smelled sweat. She flopped onto her back and put her arms behind her head. "That's not all, you can see some very gorgeous sights through these portals. If you follow me I can show you one such sight." Rainbow sat up.

"What kind of sight?" Rainbow asked, Chris extended his hand to the currently sitting Rainbow dash. She took his hand and he helped her up.

"Follow me." He said with a warm smile. He stepped through a portal and turned to face the girls. Behind him was a sunset, a rocky shore with still water, and small bubbling pools here and there. The way the sun glinted off of everything was magical. Chris knelt down near one of the bubbling pools of water. "We are in the Archean period, this is where the first life came to be. The first living things, micro organisms. And they currently thrive right here In this pool." Chris took a scoop of water in one hand and held it up to the girls, when the water was in his hand it seemed to magnify the tiny green organisms swimming against a blue back ground. "Now these guys aren't usually visible, but my abilities allow me to focus on them so you can see them swim in the water. It humbling to think that all life on earth came from these little guys." He slowly poorer the water out of his hand and back into the pool. "You have my blessing little ones."

"Wow, your so humble for a guy that can do all that." Applejack said.

"Not to mention kind to all living things." Fluttershy said.

"I find all life is beautiful and precious, each living thing is more valuable then a diamond to me. I find it so inspiring that in such a harsh world, these fragile creatures came to be. Not many people know how the first life forms were made. It was the right amount of elements creating the perfect number of chemical reactions all bundled together. And this is just the tip of the iceburg." Chris said.

"Why did you show us this?" Rainbow asked.

"Well I have a goal you see, it's not a bad goal, it's actually very noble. You see, most human beings go about their day thinking about themselves as if they are the center of the universe, my goal is to get people to see things the way I see them. To make them see that you can't put a price on things that are essential to live, or put a price on other living things. To show that we are infinitesimal specs compared to the universe around us, and that we need to appreciate even the smallest of things. As well as the biggest, because nothing lasts forever. There is a start and an end to everything, even the universe. The universe is violent and peaceful at the same time. Millions of stars go super nova each day, but from the gasses, baby stars will slowly form. the peaceful ness of the colors and the slow ballet of the ever spinning cosmos in the silence of space. That may sound pretty, but trust me, that doesn't even come close to describing the majesty of it all. That is why I'm so humble." Chris said. There was a sniff that came from Fluttershy.

"That was, so beautiful." She said.

"Wow, I never thought of anything that way before." Rainbow said.

"Well I wouldn't expect you to, you haven't seen everything that I have yet. There's no shame in admitting your flaws, and there's no shame in being intelligent or athletic or kind or hard working. But we should never be ashamed of how much we know, information is priceless and very useful when you find your self in a sticky situation." Chris said. "We should head back to the soccer field, people might be wondering where you are." Chris led them out of the portal room and onto the soccer field. With a snap of his fingers the portal closed.

"Thank you for your time Chris." Sunset said.

"No problem, if anyone decides they want to see more ill show you what I think you'll be interested in. But that will have to wait for now, you will likely find me at sugarcube corner when you wish to go on an adventure through the universe.
