Octavia and the strangest pony in the world

Octavia ran over to Sebastian who was now holding a book labelled “For near death or worse occasions” with a sentence down the bottom in brackets that read “Includes weddings”.

He was about to open the book when he collapsed; The book fell open revealing that it was a hollow, meaning it was actually designed to hold something. That particular something was a note reading “open bag and empty contents” She did so noting all the things inside: A couple of books, a card (Eight of clubs), two keys, a solid platinum jellybaby, the fob watch and a human finger in a small preservation jar. The note continued “place finger by right hoof and open fob watch, oh and STAND BACK”.

Octavia did this and after opening the watch a gold smoke like substance rose out of it and towards Sebastian. It entered his mouth and after two seconds his body bucked and jerked and suddenly his eyelids flew open and he bolted upright, the gold smoke now being produced from himself. his limbs suddenly flew toward the finger and the courtyard erupted in gold light as he began to yell. His cutie mark faded, replacing it with an hourglass. 30 seconds later the yelling and light stopped, the finger had disintegrated from the heat and Sebastian looked around for Octavia; She was right beside him looking confused but happy. “What are you?” she asked. “I’d tell you,"puffed Sebastian "but would you believe me?” And then it began to rain.

It was at least a minute before Sebastian talked again but during that minute they shared each others embrace as they kissed in the rain. He then spoke “I’m a Time lord, or Time Pony in this case, we are aliens capable of living for thousands to millions of years with the ability to regenerate 12 times during times of near death, changing form as we do so. What you saw was a partial regeneration, I channeled any excess energy into that finger to prevent changing form.” he paused to take a breath. “As for the things that attacked us, they were a breed of alien assassins from another universe, I tangled with them ages ago and they still have a grudge apparently.” Now Octavia was interested in a question or two. “Thousands to millions of years? Just how old are you?” Sebastian laughed “I myself am twenty-two, I rejuvenated myself and my previous companion when I came here to Equestria, to throw the assassins of the sce- my... previous... companion. We need to go, NOW!” he said, getting more and more serious with every word.
