Dimensions

This mare was pure white, from her mane to her coat. Her hair was as long as her body, and she had a fringe that covered only one of her eyes. She opened her eye, which was also white. Looking at her flank, her cutiemark was an eye with a scythe behind it. When Twilight and her friends saw her, they gasped. They didn't know that behind a black cloak would be an innocent earth pony.

"Greetings." She announced.

Twilight looked around the shack. It was surprisingly neat and their was a bookshelf filled with books that she had never seen before behind the mare. The house seemed bigger on the inside than it did on the outside, and despite being one-floored on the outside, there were stairs leading upwards and downwards. After looking around, she turned her attention to her friends, who didn't know what to say to the new mare. She soon stepped up and talked to her.

"U-Um..." Twilight stuttered. "Hello...? My name is Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship..."

"I already know who you all are." The mare replied. Her voice was robotic and deep, and only slightly feminine.

"Oh... You do?" Twilight was startled. "H-How..? I mean - What's your name?"

"I know because I have seen you all before, and I know what you do." She responded. "You are the elements of harmony, and you have a dragon assistant and your unicorn pupil."

"Uh... Oh... So, you've heard about us..?" Twilight muttered.

The mare nodded. "Yes. I have heard the stories. You could say I 'know you better than you do'."

Starlight Glimmer glanced at the mare's cutiemark. "A-And you are..?" She asked nervously.

"My name?" The mare cleared her throat. "Midnight."

"Right, so Midnight..." Dash retorted.

"Yes, I know, I've creeped some ponies out." Midnight sighed. "And I'm sorry for that. I was merely doing research."

"Research?" Twilight grinned. "Of what?"

Midnight glanced at Starlight, and then looked back at Twilight, keeping the same dull expression. "Just research."

Midnight looked back at her books, and all of a sudden a blue glow surrounded one of the books she had. It lifted itself off of the shelf and gently into Midnight's hoof's, where she opened the book and began to read.

"H-How did you-" Rarity gasped.

"Hm?" Midnight interrupted. "What's the matter?"

"Y-You're an earth pony..." Fluttershy whispered. "How did you... Lift that book..?"

"Telekinesis." Midnight explained. "I'm a new breed of earth ponies, one that can learn telekinesis. It is far more powerful than alicorn and unicorn magic combined. But do not fret, I do not use it to harm others."

Spike turned his attention to a huge gash in Midnight's side, which was dripping with blood, and he could see her bone. He tugged on Twilight's wing, and once she looked at Spike, he pointed to her injury. Gasping, Twilight folded in her wings.

"A-Are you okay!?" She yelled. "You've got a massive hole in your side!"

"I know that." Midnight said, unalarmed. "I've had it since I was born." She continued flicking through her book, and then rolled her eyes over to the group of ponies that were waiting for an explanation. "I guess I should tell you some things, huh?"

Putting her book on her shelf by hoof, she turned to the large group. She flicked her fringe so they could see her other eye, which was red and had a nasty scar on it. After, she covered it back up with her hair. Midnight walked back to the centre of the room, eye-balling each pony and looking into their minds.

"I am a God." She said, with absolutely no verbal filter. "The God of dimensions, time and space. I have came here because there has been a glitch in the dimensions, and I have tracked the source to here. I plan on staying here for a very, very long time. I must destroy the glitch, before bad things start happening. Even if it means killing some ponies along the way."

She jerked her head to Starlight, who was still in awe from the moment she saw her. Midnight didn't look impressed.

"I have already fixed a time error in here already." She said, aiming it at Starlight. "But dealing with dimension glitches are far more dangerous. If I am not careful, or if someone gets in the way, this dimension as you know it could crumble."

Starlight Glimmer felt a little bad. The fact that she now knows that someone had to fix her mess up made guilt wash over her body. She tried lifting her head to apologise, but she couldn't find the guts to speak up to a God. Looking around, she saw that almost everybody had their jaw dropped.

"I don't understand." Applejack tilted her head. "You're a God? Why not just say that in the first place?"

"I did not want to start a panic." Midnight replied. "Announcing myself as a God would probably make them all laugh anyway, so I didn't bother. I knew you ponies would understand, since you have dealt with other unbelievable situations, like the Crystal Empire, or the alicorn baby."

"That is true." Rarity admitted. "But can we back up a bit? You said 'even if it means killing some ponies'... What do you..?"

"It means I might have to kill someone, or I might of done it by accident." Midnight explained.

"Why would ya need tah kill somepony?!" Applejack shouted.

"Like I said, it might of been on accident." Midnight rolled her eyes. "Besides, would you rather have a few casualties or a whole dimensions erased from existence?"

"Good point..." Spike rubbed his head. "But.... Can't you heal yourself if you're a God?"

Midnight knew he was referring to her wound. She gently twisted her head to look at it, smiled softly, and then looked back up at the baby dragon.

"I had this when I was born, Spike." She sighed. "I cannot get rid of it, nor the scar on my eye. It was just how I was meant to be."

"Oh..." Spike slumped to the floor. "Sorry..."

"I am sorry." Midnight spoke. "I wish I could tell you more, but I do not know what I am hunting, nor what had happened to make the glitch happen." She glanced at Rainbow Dash. "And no, you cannot help me."

"How did you know I was gonna ask that?" Dash asked.

"I can read your mind, idgit." She snorted. "Maybe come back tomorrow. I might have new information for you then. But for now, please keep as calm as you can, and report any weird happenings to me."

"Well, there was the weird weather..." Rarity murmured.

"That was my fault, sorry." Midnight explained. "I accidentally broke the weather system upon my arrival."

"No problem, Mid!" Dash snickered. "Just be careful next time, kay?"

"Don't call me that." Midnight muttered, squinting her eyes.

"We'll come back tomorrow, then?" Twilight looked around at her friends, who were nodding. "Thank you for letting us know about this. We will be in touch!"

All of the ponies trotted out with Spike following behind them. Looking up at the outside of the shack, it was smaller than it was on the inside. They looked at each other in great concern for their world, and then walked away, back into the Everfree. Midnight walked to the door and slammed it shut with her telekinesis, and then walked back to the bookshelf. She then opened a book about glitched creatures.
