Blood Brothers To The End

Lewis was standing outside against the tree house thing. It was so strange to him, that he had simply appeared in this realm without any explanation, yet the citizens of the town he was in, didn't seem to care. they simply went on with their day, unaware that there was an alien just a few hundred feet away. he had stepped outside in order to clear his head, so he could properly clear his head. His brother had woken up just a few minutes after Lewis had acquainted himself with everyone, William was likely inside the tree house library with the two sisters, most likely getting to know everyone. as soon as the two sisters had said their welcome, the rest of the group had come forwards to say hello. Lewis could remember them all just about.

Firstly there was Pinkie pie, also known as Pinkie. she was in front of the others and was basically bouncing on the spot. she had pink hair, and pink fur. She only had ears, no horn or wings. she was wearing a light blue denim jacket over a pink sleeved white top with some balloons on it. she also wore some denim shorts that left her legs open to the elements and some pink and white striped socks that went up to her knees. she was wearing dark blue pumps trainers.

she had greeted them with a grin so wide he thought she had broken her jaw, but as it turned out she was just happy to 'have new friends' as she had said.

Next up was a blonde haired girl with tan orange fur. She was the one wearing a stetson. Her name was applejack and her southern twang came from her original home town, Appleoosa. She said she and her family owned a farm and that she would be happy for them to visit sometime, Lewis politely agreed to. she had on denim overalls and a yellow undershirt. She had thick brown cowboy boots that suited her style well. The stetson was tilted back slightly so that she could see properly.

After her came a rainbow haired, blue furred firecracker. Her name was Rainbow Dash, as she had proclaimed as if expecting him to know her. He didn't. After a rather unceremonious response she had informed him that she was on the weather team and that she kept the clouds in check for the town. It was only then that Lewis registered the wings on her back. Strange, she could control clouds, did that mean that she could touch clouds as if they were solid? That would be nuts. She was wearing a black running top with a blue and yellow jacket tied around her waist. She also had some darker blue running joggers on and some running shoes that had some green lines on the side.

Beyond her was a purple haired, white furred woman who seemed to radiate class, though to Lewis, it seemed abit put on, as if to impress. Her name was Rarity, a fashionista who wanted nothing more in life than to be rich, famous and loved by all. Such modesty, but Lewis didn't mind, he liked people who dreamed big, because they always strive to do better. she mentioned a boutique to him and then left with a twirl. he hadn't even had time to register what she was wearing before she was gone.

Finally came a butter yellow girl with long baby pink hair. When she spoke he literally had to ask her to repeat herself 5 or 6 times. Eventually he found out her name was Fluttershy. WOW. Irony. she spoke even less than Rarity but at least she was nice. She was wearing a long sleeved, slightly over sized green jumper and a small pink knee length skirt, it was so adorable.

Well at least now Lewis knew who the people who looked after him where. He would have to find a way to repay them somehow, though he felt like he would be doing that rather soon. William came out of the front door a few moments later.

"Hey dude where you been?" he asked with mild concern "Pinkie pie was just telling me that she owns a bakery, we should visit sometime!"

Lewis nodded and spoke "Yeah sounds like fun, but we don't have any money right now."

"Pinkie thought you might say that, she said it was on the house." replied William, a smile on his face "Hey Lewis, why do you think we are here?" he asked suddenly, his face solemn, it was unsettling on a 14 year old.

"I don't know." Lewis replied a frown breaking through "I really don't, and besides, i'm more concerned on if we can get back."

"Why?" William quizzed "Everyone here is super nice!"

"I know but still, didn't they feel a tad too friendly to you? I mean, not a single one showed any sign of worry except Princess Celestia, i could see it in her eyes." Lewis said, his tone hiding his concern rather well.

"What? How do you know?" William asked, confused.

"I don't know i could just see it in her eyes, worry, curiosity, anxiousness. All there. And when i looked harder i swear i could see her brain calculating every angle, like she was ensuring that she was prepared for any possible outcome. It was strange, she seemed so much like me for a moment." Lewis said, his face now as solemn as Williams was.

"How so?" asked William, his curiosity growing.

"She worries, then plans, then relaxes, then worries some more. i know because i do the same thing, she just does it on a grand scale, i mean, she's a princess, she has a nation to rule. Why shouldn't she worry." replied Lewis, his eyes on the grass beneath his feet.

"Well of course she has to worry, she's the princess! Its her job to worry for her people, besides, the only person you should worry about is me! And yourself of course!" spoke, William, trying to break his brother out of his funk.

"I know, i know. so what now? What do we do?" asked Lewis, turning to his brother for council.

"I'm not sure, but Princess Celestia mentioned something about a castle to me before i came out here to look for you again, though i don't know what or where it is..." said William, his mind trying to focus on the positives.

"Tis the city on the side of the mountain." answered an unexpected voice.

"AAAHH!" cried both Lewis and William.

"Jeez!" cried Lewis "You scared me to death!"

"We hope not!" replied a worried looking woman.

It was Princess Luna, the younger sister.

"Sorry Princess Luna we didn't hear you step outside." said Lewis, his heart rate slowing down.

"Yea sorry for screaming like that." William added in after.

"Tis alright, we just hope we did not hurt thee." spoke Luna, in a worried tone, her voice like a gentle breeze.

"No, we should be fine. But thanks for asking, you were saying about the city on the mountain?" said Lewis with curiosity.

"Aye, tis the one you see up there, it is the cornerstone and foundation on which the Equestrian nation was built." said Luna "Tis also mine and Tia's home."

"Tia?" said both William and Lewis in unison.

Luna's face turned bright red. "thou were not meant to hear that name. Tis our nick-name for our sister. Tia."

"Ohhhhhh." said both Lewis and William once more.

"That makes sense." said William.

The trio turned towards the door at the sound of it being opened. Twilight poked her head out.

"Princess Luna, your sister would like to talk with you, oh and you two as well" she said matter-of-factly, pointing at the two of them.

"Of course, we shall be right in Miss Sparkle." said Luna, her tone just as smooth and calm as her sisters, but with just a hint of naivety and youth tucked away.

The trio stepped through the door, into the sitting area of the library. The princess was sat on one of the red sofa's besides Twilight and Pinkie. On the other sofa sat Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy.

"Princess, whats wrong?" asked Lewis.

"When we recovered your bodies, we also found some things that we believe may belong to you two.

What? that couldn't be right. The two of them didn't bring anything, wait, yes they did! The voice mentioned satchels, and power...

"Can we see them?" Lewis asked, his mind focused on what they may show him.

"But of course, they are yours, we hope." said Princess Celestia.

twilight then proceeded to levitate, yes levitate, with magic, 2 satchel bags, and 3 books from next to the sofa. The books looked all too familiar.

"One, oh my god was that magic and two can i please see those books?" Lewis said, curiosity mixing with murderous intent and focus.

Twilight hadn't picked up on it.

"Of course and yes, that was magic. From what we have seen of your anatomy whilst you were unconscious, you cannot control magic. Its a shame, i would've like to see how well you would have performed!" said Twilight, a smile on her face as she levitated the books towards you.

Lewis stared at them in fear and anger. He recognized the books.

"Lewis, is that..." spoke William, his voice shaky.

"It is, its the book that brought us here. The Art of Magic..." replied Lewis.

"The books that  brought you here?" said Twilight "But that would mean, these books have magic in them! I have to scan them, quickly!"

Twilight then proceeded to scan the books with her magic. The others just watching in curiosity.

"Princess..." said Twilight ominously "I cant recognize the magic signature, and that means..."

"That these books contain magic that is not from this world..." spoke Celestia, her tone just as ominous as Twilight's.

Lewis gazed in anger at the books before him and then it hit him. his mind was filled with just a singular thought, one that could lead to disaster. 'So these books contain magic...'
