Chapters I get sent to another world by Q
The sounds of the wind and the birds were all I could hear as I was tracking a deer I had been hunting for the past few hours. The sounds nothing new to me were somewhat soothing.
I shifted my quiver and bow on my back as I crawled over a fallen tree. Oh, you don’t know who I am. Well hello, there my name is Blake Oíche I’m nineteen and I’m female. Yes, that may sound weird that I’m female though I have been confused for being a guy, as Blake is often a guys name and I don’t show myself out in public very often.
What else I can say about myself… well, I’m 5’9’’ I have short platinum hair, crimson red eyes, a pale white complexion with a crescent moon scar around my right eye, and for some reason I am unable to get a tan. I live in the mountains with my dad… well used to.
My dad taught me everything that I knew, I would recount what he taught me, but we would be here all day. The reason he home schooled me was because kids from my old school made fun of me because of my hair colour and pale skin. They called me a vampire because of it. Luckily it wasn’t the vampires from the Twilight book series like really sparkling in the sunlight... So yeah he taught me everything, even how to survive in the wild and how to hunt, he even taught me a few languages like Russian, Japanese, Latin… kinda, but mostly Irish since my mom loved Ireland.
My mom… I never met my mom, all I knew of her is that she was my mom, of course, and she left me when I was born. My dad told me not to hate her, she couldn’t stay with us because she had a mental problem, something like a split personality or something along those lines.
So back to my Dad, he was a professional hunter that sometimes traveled the world. Well used to, but since I was born he had to stop traveling until I grew older yet he still got some hunting in with deals from the locals. He told me that I was born to be a hunter for the fact that I was born on Halloween at the witching hour under the Hunter's moon, or blood moon for some. Anyway, he taught me how to hunt and well I’m really good at it. It was just him and me together.
Well, it was until he died.
There was something wrong with his heart and the doctors had no idea how to treat him so he died from it. His final words to me were that I shouldn’t be sad, he had his run and now it was his time to rest. Now I live by myself in the old cabin in the mountains, sure it’s nice but it’s not the same.
Back to my hunt. I found the deer that I been tracking in a clearing, I crouched down and unslung my bow and grabbed an arrow. Sure I knew how to use a gun I just preferred to use a bow. It was much easier and quieter than a gun. I took a deep breath as I drew back the bowstring and aimed.
“Aim small miss small, aim small miss small,” I repeated quietly to myself. It was something that my dad told me to remember. I took aim where the heart was and as I exhaled I let loose my arrow. The deer let out a cry and fell to the ground with a thud. I got up from my spot and headed towards the deer. As I got closer I saw that it was still breathing somewhat. I let out a sigh and pulled out one of my knives.
“Sorry about this, but I need to eat tonight, you understand right?" I said to the deer.
“A hunter saying sorry to her prey, now I have seen everything.” I heard a voice that came out of nowhere. I looked around to see where it had come from and looked back at the deer to see it stand up on its hind legs and dust itself off. "Wait, what?"
“What the?” I said as I pointed my knife at it. “What are you?" How the hell are you standing, And why do you sound like Q from Star Trek?” Yes, I know who Q is, my dad was a big Star Trek fan.
“Wow, it’s been awhile since someone has called me that, but just to let you know pointing your knife at somebody is really rude.” The deer told me crossing his arms in the process.
“Uhh, you're a talking deer....”
“That I am!" It said as he looked down at itself. "Hold on as I get into something more comfortable.”
As he said that, he kneeled down and pulled up a shower curtain from the ground and started to hum. I blinked at this in confusion and started to back away but the curtain dropped down to reveal a guy in a mismatched outfit. I’m not into fashion but this was... something.
“Ahh much better, so hello there Blake it’s nice to meet you.” He said.
“How do you know my name? Who are you? WHAT are you?"I asked him.This had to be a dream, this can’t be real. The mad man leaned forward and pinched me.
"Ow! What was that for?” I asked him.
“Oh, to let you know that this wasn’t a dream of course.”He told me with a sly grin.
“Wait how did you know that I was thinking that this was a dream?”I asked him as I rubbed my arm where he'd pinched me.
“I just read the script that the author has typed out.”
"Wait, what? What script?" I questioned. This did make any sense.
"What are you talking about?”I was getting more confused by the second.
“Never mind about that.” He said to me. I was about to ask him a question, but I saw that there was an arrow sticking out of his chest.
“Umm, you got something on your chest.” I told him, he stared at me.
“I do?" "Oh my, excuse me for a moment.” He said as he pulled a cloth out of his pocket and started wiping down his jacket. When he was done he threw the cloth behind him and it turned into a snake and slithered away. The arrow was still in his chest.
“Uhhhhh…” Was all I could say.
“Never mind that let’s get down to business shall we?" "I’m here to offer you a deal, a deal that could change your life forever.” He said to me. I frowned at him as I put my knife away.
“Yeah, no thanks, I was told to not talk to strangers and you're a stranger so nice to meet you and goodbye.” I told him
I turned around and headed back home. I guess it’s box mac and cheese again tonight.
“Oh come now little angel, don’t be like that." "
What if I told you that you can see someone special, someone, like… your mother?”
I stopped when I heard him say that. My mom, he knows of her?
“You know her?” I asked him.
He snorted at me.
“Know of her? Heck she and her sister are always such a pain in my backside, but yeah I do."
"So do you reconsider, there’s nothing here for you that's making you stay.” He told me.
I thought about it, it was true that I don’t really have any connection here anymore but this was too far-fetched to be real, But if it was real…
“Alright I’ll play along, I’ll take your deal but if this is some trick I’m going to take my knife and jam it up your...”
“Woah! Hold up that’s a little gruesome for this story, this is just the beginning and we still have a lot more to go before we get to that part.” He said to me.
He then pulled a piece of paper and a pen and handed them to me. I looked at it and read it. It was...weird but I took the pen, wrote my name down and handed it back to him.
“Excellent! Now just to let you know that whatever happens in that world, you can’t sue me or anything of the sort.” He said. I again frowned at him.
“What do you mean ‘that world’?” I asked him.
He didn’t reply as he pulled the arrow out of his chest and snapped the head off tossing it at my feet. I watched it sink down into the ground as I felt myself slowly being pulled down into the ground. I tried to move but couldn’t. I looked up and saw him waving at me with a crooked smile as my head disappeared into the ground.
At first, I could feel, see and hear nothing. Nothing at all, I thought I was dead. Well, it would make sense since I was dragged into the ground. All I could think of was what my cause of death would say. ‘Blake Oíche, died from being buried alive under unknown circumstances. If I could I would chuckle at that.
Before long I started to hear the chirping of birds. I moved my hands and found out that I could feel the grass underneath them. I took a deep breath and smelled the forest around me. Odd, I didn’t realize that my sense of smell was also gone. Does that mean I just died?
I opened my eyes to only see darkness at first, but then slowly my sight returned to me in some white flashes. I blinked a few times and sat up to look around.
…
Oh my god the colour. It was so... Vibrant. I took a good look around and noticed was that everything was brighter and popping, and that’s a word that I would never think to use the word… popping.
I got up and stretched, I hearing my back pop a bit. I heard something fall to the ground behind me. I turned and saw that my bow was broken. I frowned at it as I checked if anything else was damaged, luckily nothing was. I looked around to get my bearings, why was I here again? Oh yeah, that weird guy sent me here, I don't even know who he is… or better yet, what he is.
I heard a rumbling sound coming from overhead and looked up to see a storm brewing. Black clouds floating slowly towards me. Better find a dry place before the rain hits.
I searched for a few minutes and found a place right before it started to pelt down with rain. It was a cave that was abandoned, for a few months by the signs of activity left inside. I pulled out some pieces of kindling which I'd found along the way, plus a small tree that could be turned into a new bow for me.
I quickly made a fire and started rifling through my pockets and small bags to see what I had for supplies. I got some rope that I could use as a bowstring along with some other stuff; a small garbage bag, a compass, a map (Both of which are useless to me right now) a bottle of water, some granola bars, a MRE, some matches, my hunting knife, some throwing knives, about sixteen arrows and a sling.
I opened the MRE and pulled the bag which will heat up the food and looked at the main meal. It was chunky soup. I put it into the bag with some water and set it aside to heat up. I opened the animal crackers and started eating them as I began whittling the small tree into a new bow. After working on the tree for a bit I set it aside, grabbed the bag and pulled out the other bags and opened them. Rifling through the bags again I found one of those spoon fork things… Sporks?
I sat there eating the soup and animal crackers, watching the fire as it burned away. When I finished had my soup I put the garbage into my bag. (Even if you are in another world it doesn't mean you can forget your manners) I picked up the whittled tree and went back to building my bow. It took a few hours between building it and managing the fire I finished my survival long bow. After testing it to see if it's strong enough I leaned back against the wall of the cave and watched the fire. I felt my eyelids grow heavy I shifted my gaze outside to see it was night. I got comfortable near the fire as I let sleep take over.
Luna traveled down one of the many paths in the dreamscape watching the dreams of the many ponies that were asleep in the waking world. She smiled at the dreams each of them dreamt up and had to admit that some of them are very creative while others… well, she doesn’t want to see those that may offend. She saw a few of the dreams that were beginning to turn into nightmares, but she warded away the ponies fears, ensuring a peaceful sleep. She was the protector of the dreams of her subjects, it was the least she could do.
She watched as all of the bright and colorful dreams floated around her as she continued on. She stopped near one dream which was… different. It was dark in colour. There was no nightmare about it, yet Luna couldn’t understand why it was so dark.
“Why are you so different little one?” Luna asked the dream as it floated over and sat in front of her.
Luna thought about it then placed both hands on the dream to take a look. The fog wrapped around her as she slowly entered the dream, blinking a few times as she looked around she gasped at what she saw.
It was… beautiful.
Luna looked around the dream with amazement. Sure she had seen dreams which had tried to copy her night sky, and they were good, yet they were just that, a copy.
But this, this was something else, something that she has seen only a few times. Times that he had shown her.
She closed her eyes as she felt tears beginning to form.
“I'm sorry…” Luna whispered before she and left the dream. What she had failed to notice was a figure wearing Arctic gear looking up to the sky. A tear rolled down the figure's cheek as she watched the colours shift and change.
“I miss you, dad, I miss you so much.”

I got new Tattoos and I saved the Princess of Friendship, wait what
I woke up in the cave that I slept in during the storm last night, I guess this isn’t a dream. I got up and grabbed the bag of animal crackers and ate the rest of them, I should have packed more of them. I grabbed the rest of my supplies and kicked and stomped the coals to make sure that it was completely out, then went out to grab so dirt and put it on top of it. What? You can’t be too careful what would happen if an animal comes along and kicks a hot coal outside of the cave and it starts a forest fire.
I got out of said cave and started looking around the place. As I was walking I made mental notes of where I was going and how to get back to the cave if I didn’t find a town, if there were any towns at all. I began climbing over some trees but stopped when I saw something on my hand glowing green, they looked like runes… Green glowing runes.
I looked at my hands and pulled back the sleeves of my coat and saw faint runes on my hands and arms.
“Okay, this is new,” I said to myself. So I got tattoos on my arms which I didn't remember getting them. I decided to not question about them and continue walking. I saw a few animals as I walked through the forest, some of them waved at me which was weird. I even saw some plants that I know of back home and some that I don't, like this blue flower that grows all over. I got a bit closer by my survival instinct screamed at me that I shouldn't be close to it so I left the flowers alone.
I continue on for another twenty minutes until I saw something that caught my eye. It was a pile of leaves on the ground in front of me. I saw a rope coming from there and up the tree. I grabbed a large rock and tossed it into the pile of leaves. Sure enough the trap was sprung as a net shot up and had the rock in it. I got closer to it and saw that the rope was interesting so I went and cut it down and took it. I went and turned it into a makeshift bag to carry some of my stuff. As I slung it over my shoulder I felt something off about the robe, I held it in front of me. It looks like rope, it smells like rope, it feels like rope so I think I'm being paranoid.
I continue on my way noting some places to set up traps to catch some food when I heard someone yell. I looked over where it came from and frowned about it. I turned to head away from the yell since I didn't want to deal with it. I'm not going to help someone who's lost in these wood, let them deal with… wait, that was someone yelling, that means that there's people, that means there's a town… that means I'm a big idiot. I turned around and headed towards the yell. I crouched down and looked into a clearing where I see someone on the ground.
Whoever she is she didn't look good. She wore tattered rags and almost covered everything and she looked exhausted and she looked like she was crawling away. Just before she could get anywhere I saw two figures emerge from the other end of the trees. Both of them wore what looked like furs but the one one the left was smaller and wore a lynx's pelt that was a few sizes too big and the one on the right was really big and wore a bear's fur. They walked up to the girls and the short one grab her hair and yank her up.
“You slave made our jobs harder for running away,” the small one said in a high voice.
“Harder yeah,” The big one said in a low voice. The girl tried to break free but couldn't so she started crying.
“Please…” she said in a weak voice. The small one snorted.
“You hear that, little slave said please looks like we're going to have some fun with her,”
“Yeah fun…” the big one said with a smile. The girl eyes went wide at this and shook her head.
“No… Please no, don't do this," she bagged. I frowned at this. These two… monsters are going to go a rape this girl, well I'm not going to let that happen. I pulled out my sling and grabbed a good size rock and put it in it. I stood up and began swinging the sling around and started to aim at the big one.
“We'll break you so you'll be more understanding,” the small one said as he grabbed both the girls arms. The girl was crying as the big one got closer to her.
“Yeah, more understanding-” Whack!!
My stone hit it's mark as the big one stood there for a moment until he fell over to his side. The small one jumped up and screamed, I took this change to run towards him and kick him. For some reasoned I felt faster and I got up to him in about five seconds. I got to him and kicked him in the face which sent him rocking to the trees
I stood there blinking in surprise as what I just did. I kicked him into the trees, I didn’t mean to put so much strength into the kick hell if I did I shouldn’t have sent him into the trees. As I was thinking about it I heard a thud from behind me. I turned and saw that the girl has fallen over on the ground. I went over to her to see her if she’s alright. I saw that she has cuts and bruises all over her body and dark circles under her eyes meaning that she hasn’t slept for a long time. What I found out is that she also had those runes on her arms and legs and on her back a tattoo of wings.
Okay… wings tattoos, that’s kinda cool. I turned her over and picked her up bridal style amazingly she’s lighter than she looks. I turned to see the big guy and frowned at him and walked back into the forest. Hoping to find a place to rest up.
As I was walking the girl started mumbling to herself and I saw her crying. I picked up my pace as I hurried into the forest.
Twilight PoV
All I could remember was that I was running down the many tunnels that ran underground in hope I could find my way out. I hear screams of other slaves call out of help but I couldn’t help them. I made a silent promise that I would return to help them but I needed to get out of here.
I heard them crawling all over the walls getting closer to me so I ran faster. I ran for so long but I couldn’t find the way out. As I was running I hit a rock and fell to the ground. I tried to get back up but I felt my leg get grabbed and got pulled back. I felt hands and claws all over me, I screamed to stop but they didn’t. I closed my eyes and hoped that this would end.
I opened my eyes to see a roof over my head. It was wooded with was odd. I heard a fire crackling to my right and the sound of something being stirred. I turned my head to see someone stirring a pot of soup. I slowly sat up which made the bed I was in groaned as I moved.
“It would be better if you layed down and rest a little longer,” The person said as she continued stirring. I layed back down with my back on the headboard and looked at her.
“Who are you? Where am I?” I asked her. She didn’t turn to me.
“We’re in an abandoned house deep in some forest, it’s the only place that I could find after your run in with the other two,” She said as she got up. I frowned a bit and remembered what she was talking about. I was running from them because I been storing enough magic to do a teleport. But with me being turned into a Celestial and haven’t slept for a week made me weak.
“What happened to those two?” I asked her. She into another room and began to rifle through some stuff.
“Well with the fact that I slung a good size rock to his head he should have his skull caved in but I think he has a thicker skull than that so I just knocked him out and for the little one I don’t know since I kicked him into a group of trees,” She said. I heard her open something that was followed by a loud crashing sound. “Dia diabhal é!” (God damn it!)
After a minute later she walked out of the other room with two bowls and spoons in hand. I got a good look at her face. She was very pale with white hair and crimson eyes. A crescent shape moon scar was over her right eye. She kneeled down and scooped out some soup in both bowls. She got up and handed me a bowl, she went back and sat at the fire. I looked at the bowl of soup and started eating it. At least it was warm and flavorful.
“Thank you for saving me, Those Diamond dogs are nothing but trouble for the past couple years,” I said to her. She looked at me for a moment and went back to her bowl with a shrugged.
“No problem, I was near by when you started yelling.” She said to me. I smiled a bit and went back to eating for a few minutes. “I don’t know if you know but if you do, do you know where the nearest town located?”
“No, We’re to far in this forest to let me know where we are, if this was the Everfree then Evos would be the closest.” I told her. She frowned for a bit.
“Hmm I don’t know the place Evos but I can say that it’s a weird name,” She told me.
“Don’t look at me, I didn’t name the place.” I replied to her. She chuckled and finished her soup and set it down as she stood up.
“I’m going to take a look around for a bit get some rest and by tomorrow we will head out,” She said to me. She turned and headed out of the building. I finished my soup and set it down on the floor and layed back down. I felt my eyes slowly closed and fell into a peaceful sleep for the first time in a few weeks.
Blake
After finding the girl and taking her to the abandoned house I went back to the spot where I found her to see if those two are still there. When I got there all I found was something worrying. The big guy was gone and all was left was blood. I took a look at where I kicked the small one and saw only blood there. Has something come around and finished them off?
I turned and returned to the house, when I got there the sun has set and the moon was rising up in the sky. I entered the house to see that the girl was sleeping peacefully. I saw that the fire was low but I didn’t want to re-light it so I went to a wall, sat down and looked up at the hole in the roof of the place and looked at the sky. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
In the morning, I searched the house to see what else there is here. After looking around I found a lot of junk and broken stuff, I did find some clothes that looked the right size of the girl. I walked back to the room to see the girl awake and handed her the close. I told her that they were a bit better than what she was wearing at the time. I went over and grabbed everything that I pulled out and put it back in my bags. I turned to see her standing there blushing like mad.
“You ok?” I asked her. She shifted a bit.
“Umm can you turn the other way so I can get change,” She asked me. I stared at her.
“You know that you’re half naked and the only things that are keeping you from being completely naked are those rags and they aren’t doing a very good job,” I told her. I saw her face went completely red at this, I sighed and looked away as I muttered. “Tá sé seo chomh dúr.” (This is so stupid)
After a few moments I turned to see her in new clothes, a green t-shirt and some jeans. After I got everything together we both headed out of the house and headed into the forest. Along the way I asked for her name and she told me that she’s Twilight Sparkle and she’s a Princess. I also gave her my name as well.
“Well I’m a newly made Princess since it was almost a year since I was turned into a Celestial,” She told me with a frown, “A whole year yet I still can’t get used to this body.”
“What’s a Celestial?” I asked her. She looked at me if I grew a second head.
“Your… kidding right?” I just stared at her as she said that. “You’re really not from around here are you,”
“I’m from a far off place,” I told her. She gave me a look that I saw when my dad was going to explain something to me.
“Well to know what a Celestial is you need to know of the three other races, first there’s Magi who I used to be, they are gifted in the magical arts and enchanting and scrolls say that they got their magic as a gift by Riona.” She started to explain. I tried to ask her who was Riona but she kept going.
“Then there’s Caelum they have the ability to make wings and fly in the sky, they are also known to be great engineers and tinkers so they build almost anything they can get their hands on, they were taught by Emus” I stopped trying to stop her from talking and listen to her go.
“Finally there’s Erde they are know for their feats of strength and fortitude, they are also known that they have a connection the the land and can grow basically anything in great quality, there gifts came from Visyn,” she finished. She looked at me as I was giving her a bored look. “I went total egghead mode didn't I.”
"Ya think,” I deadpanned. Twilight looked down at her feet.
“Sorry I kinda go total egghead when talking something like this, it's really interesting but I bore a lot of people,” she explained. I smiled at her.
“It's fine just answer my question about Celestials,” I asked her. She smiled at me.
“Well the basic idea is that Celestials are beings of all three races, they have all the traits of them they are perfect,” She explained. I snorted at the last part which she gave me a glare. “What was that for.”
“No one’s perfect, there never was a perfect being because if anyone was perfect than they would be boring,” I told her. She frowned at me.
“Who told you that?” She asked me.
“My dad did,” I answered her. She stared at me for a bit then looked ahead.
“Well if you see him next tell him that he has to see Princess Celestia, there’s someone who’s just perfect.” I stopped walking and looked down to the ground. Twilight kept walking until she saw that I wasn’t walking with her. She looked back at me. “Blake?”
“I can’t see him, he died some time ago,” I told her. We didn’t say anything after that for a few minutes.
“Blake, I’m so sorry I didn’t mean that…”
“It’s fine he didn’t want me to mourn over him, he said that he knew that his time was coming and accepted it.” It didn’t mean I liked it. He was the only person that I could talked to, that understands me and now he’s gone and I’m in some other world.
I felt someone walk up to me and hugged me. I blinked in confusion at this.
“Uhh, why are you hugging me?” I asked her.
“Something that a friend told me,” She told me. We stayed like that for a minute until she let go and both of us continued on. It took us a good half of the day until we got to a hill and I saw some ruins in the distance. It seemed that Twilight knew of the place as she started running towards it. I ran after her and we both headed towards the ruins. When we arrived the sun was setting over some mountains, geez was we walking for that long?!
“This is the castle of the two sisters! We’re so close to Evos!” She said excitedly. She started running towards somewhere but I stopped her by grabbing the shirt. She turns and looks at me with a frown as I pointed at the sky.
“It’s getting dark and I don’t know what else is living there but I bet it has teeth and love~ to eat people,” I said rudely. I know I shouldn’t be rude but I don’t deal with others that do stupid things and running into the forest at night with who knows what lives in there falls into that category. I let her go and looked at the castle. “If this is near Evos then we can sleep here.”
Twilight looked at me with a frown then looked at the castle. “Well I guess that’s a good idea, alright we sleep here but first thing in the morning we are heading to Evos.”
“No argues here,” I told her. We both head inside of the ruins and I first thought I had was that this place has seen better days. Most of the walls were weather or crumbled, many banners were somewhat in a somewhat good state while others look like they are turning to dust. What made me worry is that in some places there were what looked like claw marks, even worst is that they were really big. There was also some holes in the ground which were also not a good sign.
We headed to what I could tell is a library, at least this place was in good condition. Twilight looked happy to be in this place and headed off to look at some books. I headed down a different set of books and looked at the books that are there. Picking one at random I grabbed a book and opened it, it too is also in good condition and sure enough it was about this world's Gods. I skimmed through them and saw the names that Twilight told me about, Riona the water shaper and mother of magic, Emus the ruler of the Skies and crafting, and Visyn The Huntress and earth warden. There was one other that she didn’t say, Ajun the Firekeeper and warrior of dawn. So let's see here we have a goddess of water, a goddess of earth, a god of air, and a god of fire. Jeez this sounds like something from a RPG from home. I turned a few pages until something caught my eye, it seems there was a fifth one, one that made the other four just to safeguard this world. I began to read the pages.
“He goes by many names that are lost to time itself, no one knows if it was by fate or that he has made it so but only a few tested the will of time itself. Some call him The First, others the god of all gods and to the Dragon-kin Bahamut the Lord of Dragons, but one name is always there, a name that even if they know or don’t it’s a name that is always in our heads, The All Father.”
I flipped through some pages and found a little more about this All Father.
“It is said that the two Princesses, Princess Celestia and Luna, look very much like his two daughters. Could this be a coincidence or the will of him, no one knows.”
I looked through the book but found nothing else of interest so I placed the book back and looked around some more. It took some time but I found a place that me and Twilight could sleep for the night. It was a simple room with a nice skylight… since the roof had a hole in it. I looked up to the sky and saw the full moon I sat down with my back to the wall and looked at the moon. I closed my eyes and started to sing the song that my dad taught me when I was young.
(optional )
“Silver light
She turned her face up to the starlit sky
And on this night began to wonder why
She knew that soon the day would come
Born to be
An heir of beauty and serenity
Into this world she entered quietly
To her surprise she was the one
Destiny was close behind her
Phantom of borrowed life
And the sea was a reminder
Mirror of given light
I stopped singing to look up to the moon again and sighed.
“That was beautiful,” I hear someone said. I blinked and turn to see Twilight standing in the doorway. I turned and shrugged.
“Took singing lessons, don’t want to sing bad to that song it’s the only thing I have to know her by,” I told her.
“Her? Who are you talking about?” She asked me.
“My mother,” I answered. She sat down beside me as I looked up to the sky.
“Can I ask how she’s like,” She asked me.
“Can’t really say,” I told her. She frowned at me.
“I don’t know why people try to be mysterious, it just makes things harder to understand.”
“No I really can’t say because I don’t know her, she left me and my dad when I was born he said that it has something to do with her head and she left.” I explained. I pulled my knees up to me and stared off into space. “All I knew about her is that she loves this song.”
“Well… maybe you two will meet each other.” Twilight said. I didn’t say anything until I heard snoring coming from her. I shifted a bit and got comfortable and slowly fell asleep.
Luna
I stared at the moon as it looks down on the land as my magic slowly made it move in the sky. I sighed as I heard footsteps coming behind me.
“You’re up late sister do you need anything,” I asked her without turning.
“Can’t I come and see my sister for no real reason other than just to see her,” Tia said to me. I chuckled a bit and turned to her. I saw that she had taken the so-called ‘godly look’ and looked more mortal with her pink hair and gown. I smiled at her.
“Normally yes but I do know you Tia, I know that you're worried about Twilight but I assure you that she will be found,” I told her. She sighed and looked out over Canterlot.
“I know Lu but I can’t help but worry, she’s like a daughter to me and I can’t help but fear to lose her.” She told me. I bit my lip a bit as I looked off over Canterlot.
“Well tomorrow morning Twilight’s brother and some of the best knights are going into the Everfree forest to search for her there, and I implore you that you need rest. Don’t let the nobles see you in such a state.” I told her. She chuckled at me for a moment.
“Sometimes I wonder if you should of been the ruler of Terra,” She said to me. I smirked at her.
“If I was then I would've either run it into the ground or put it into an endless night that would of killed off everything and… well run it into the ground.” I told her. She rolled her eyes at me.
“Right, well good night Luna,”
“Good night Tia, have pleasant dreams,” I told her.
“With you up I know I will,” She commented as she turned into a white flash and disappeared from my room. I looked up to the moon and frowned.
“She’s like a daughter to me and I can’t help but fear to lose her.” Those words repeated in my head as I closed my eyes. Tears began to fall down my face.
“I know more than you know dear sister, more than you know.” I said softly as I began to sing.
(optional , again!)
“ Then one day
The sign she'd waited for in skies of grey
Traversed a winding road and came her way
She found the love she hoped she would
But she knew
That she had promises to stay true to
The dormant daughter of the silver moon
Then all at once she understood
Destiny was close behind her
Phantom of borrowed life
And the sea was a reminder
Mirror of given light
From the sky
She watched the life
She'd known she would leave behind
Said goodbye
And gave her people
Life through her sacrifice”

I don’t like bugs, especially that the ones that want to eat me.
(PoV is in the Third person for the first part)
Night has fallen over the town of Evos, everyone has retired into their houses for the night and all the lights in the building were out, all but one. Near the center of the town was a tree that houses the main library of the place, the lights are on and in the main room where five girls and two boys. The rainbowed haired one was pacing back and forth with her arms crossed and a worried frowned on her.
“Darling, can you please stop your pacing it’s not helping,” Rarity said to her. The rainbowed haired girl stopped and looked at her.
“I got to stop pacing, well I would stop if I’m allowed to go out and search for Twilight but guess what I can’t so too bad!” Rainbow said as she continued pacing. Rarity sighed and shook her head.
“Ah know ya are worried ‘bout her but we can’t just charge off in the middle of the woods looking without a plan,” Applejack said to her. RD was about to say something but was cut off by someone else.
“She’s right Rainbow, I want to go out there and look for my sister as much as you do but going in there with no plan is a suicide run,” Shining Armor said.
“Hey, I do too! Why can we just go out anyway?” Spike asked. Applejack looked at him.
“Because there’s a whole lot of monsters that’s roaming around in the forest and they aren’t friendly.” She explained.
“Oh… right.” Spike looked around and saw his friend Pinkie sitting in a chair silent, her hair wasn’t as poofy than normal.
“Come on she could be out there right now starving or freezing or something and all we are doing is sitting here waiting!” Rainbow yelled. She was shaking with anger as she was sitting here doing nothing. She felt a hand on her shoulder.
“Rainbow you need to calm down, raising your voice won’t help at all,” Fluttershy said to her friend. “Also we shouldn’t yell at all, we don’t want to wake Twilight’s daughter up.” Dash stared at her friend and took some deep breathes.
“Look Rainbow I know what you're going through and I want the same thing it’s just it’s too dangerous right now, tomorrow morning me and some of the best guards with head into the forest and looked for her, we will find her,” Shining said to her. Dash looked at him for a minute and headed to the door.
“Now where ya think you're going?” Applejack said.
“I’m going to fly around for a bit, I need some air,” Dash said as she pushed the door open and walked out. Making her wings appear she took flight and headed into the sky.

There are times that being a light sleeper can be a good thing, saved my life a couple times. Case in point I woke up to the sound of something moving a couple rooms down, whatever it is it was big.
I looked over to Twilight and saw that she was curled up and sleeping soundly. I slowly got up and grabbed my sling, if it tried to attack me it’s going to get a rock to the face. I slowly went out of the room and headed towards whatever is making that noise. It took me a bit but I got to the main throne room and place my back to the wall of the door, I peered around the doorway to see that’s making the noise. What I saw made me freeze in place.
It’s a giant bug… a giant mother fucking bug and I’m not dealing with it.
‘Nope, nope nope nope nope and so much nope,’ I thought as I turned and went back to the room where Twilight is and I’m going to wake her up and we are getting the hell out of here. Sure it’s dangerous but it’s mostly the fact that… I can’t deal with bugs.
Okay let me clarify a bit, I can deal with small bugs. Small bugs are simple to deal with, either with some spray or a shoe would work. No I just can’t deal with big bugs like the size of your hand big bug. I just can’t deal with it and so now there’s a bug the size of a truck is in this castle and you can bet your sweet ass that I’m not going be staying in here. I quickly and quietly returned to the room and started to pack up everything into my bags, I also grabbed that book with five gods in it.
“Mhmm Blake? What’s going on?” I heard Twilight ask. I turned to see her getting up, well this makes things easier.
“Good you're up, grab everything that you need because we are getting the hell out of here,” I told her as I put the last thing in my bag and put it on.
“What are you talking about, didn’t you say that heading out in the forest is a bad idea?” She questioned.
“Well there’s something here that I don’t want to deal with and I’ll take my chances out in the woods now come on,” I said. Twilight didn’t say anything but she got up and we both headed down the hall. We stopped near the main doors that we came into, I looked through the doorway aaannnnddd that big ass bug is right there… great.
“Oh, Celestia that’s an Obsidio Bug!” Twilight said. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. “It’s a Siege bug,”
“Right so right now we need to get passed it, got any plans?” I asked her.
“Hard to say, Obsidios are known to be able to take down a fortified stronghold by themselves but their straightforward so... make a loud sound somewhere else and it will go look for it? I don’t know.” She answered. I looked back at in the room and saw a vase on the other side of the room. I pulled an arrow out and notched it and took aim at the vase.
“Aim small miss small, aim small miss small,” I repeated as I let go of the arrow. It flew across the room and hit the vase and shattering it. The bug turned around to where the vase was and charged at it and through the wall, and through some more walls.
“That’s worked,” Twilight commented. We both headed out of the ruins and got some distance from it, which was nice. “Well, we’re out of that place, what could go wrong now?”
I stopped and closed my eyes at what she just said and turned around. At first, nothing happened then the whole front side exploded and the bug came out and looked at us, then it screamed.
“Bhuel fuck dom (Well fuck me) RUN!”
Rainbow
I flew around town for about an hour after I left the library. I always love flying at night it so quiet and peaceful, it also allows me time to cool off and think. Twilight was kidnapped by the Diamond dogs and stayed like that for about a week while I was sitting here doing nothing. Most of the guards told me that they would handle it and they would find her, again it’s been a week and she’s not found.
I landed in one of Sweet Apple Acres apple fields and started to walk through it. I remember taking Twilight here for our first date, sure it wasn’t grand or epic but it was nice and she enjoyed it. I walked through the same path we took on that date, rounded one of the trees, don’t ask me which one because I don’t know, and stopped at another tree. It was the biggest in this field and we stopped there for a rest. I placed my hand on the tree and looked at it.
I turn away from the tree to look out to the Everfree, the last place that Twilight could be at. Oh how I wanted to go in there right now and look for her but I knew that if I did it would be a suicide mission. I sighed and pulled out my necklace and looked at it. There was a ring on it one of them was from Twilight. It was her college ring when she graduated and she gave it to me as a way that she loves me. I gripped the ring for a moment as I look out to the Everfree, I’m going to find her and bring her home, you can bet your bits on it.
I turned to head back to the library but stopped as I heard a noise. I looked over at the Everfree and frowned. I saw something coming out of the forest, I crouch down and prepared to take off out of here when I saw who came out of the forest. It was Twilight.
I felt my heart fill with joy that she’s alright and safe. I started to run towards her but stopped as someone else came crashing out of the forest. This one I didn’t know, she had white hair, camo clothing and a quiver on her back. They both was hailing tail away from the forest straight for me.
“Twilight! By Celestia you’re okay, who this per..”
“TALKLATERRUNNOW!” Twilight screamed as she ran past me. I blinked a few times and looked back at her as she was running as fast as she could.
“Uhh...what?” I said as the other person ran past me.
“DON’T STAND THERE, RUN!” she yelled as she too ran past me. I turned around and saw something come crashing through the trees. My iris went small as my wings appeared on my back as I bolted out of there.
I caught up to the other two as all three of us ran like Tartarus from the big bug.
“Wait!” Twilight yelled. I stop in the air and looked at her.
“Why are we stopping we should be running!” the other girl yelled at her.
“We can't we'll taking it into Evos, we have to stop it here,” Twilight explained.
“Why can't we just run the other way, I like running that sounds like a better plan.” the girl said.
“If we did that then it will turn around and start attacking Evos and I'm not going to let that happen.” both Twilight and the girl stared at each other for a moment until the bug screeched again. I heard the girl muttered something under her breath.
“Ugh fine but I don't agree to this,” She said as she pulled a sling looking thing out of one of the bags and walked passed us. I looked over at Twilight and she smiled at me, I went over to give her a hug.
“I thought I lost you, I wanted to look for you but they wouldn't let me but I… but-” I was caught off with Twilight kissing me. I felt butterflies in my stomach and a little light headed. She pulled away and smiled at me.
“Sorry that I worried you and everyone and I want to tell everyone that I'm ok but right now I want you to get all the guards and bring them her as fast as you can.” she told me.
Yeah… wait what are you going to do?” I asked her.
“Well someone has to help keep it busy…” she said while looking away.
“You're going to stay here! Are you out of your mind, you just came back from being kidnapped and you want to fight a giant bug!" I yelled at her. She blinked a few times before speaking.
“Oh don't get me wrong I don't want to be here I really don't, but the girl that went after it saved my life and I own her for it. That's why you're going, you're faster,” she explained.
“Oh…” I looked around and tried to come up with something to change her mind but I saw a look in her eyes that said that she's not going to leave this. I pulled her into another kiss which lasted a minute until I pulled away. “Don't do something stupid egghead.”
"I know that's your job.” She said with a smile. I smiled back and let go of her and took to the skies as fast as I could and then some.

I really hate this plan. I don’t know why I’m doing this I should be running for dear life away from the big bug, but here I was standing behind a tree with the bug looking for me and Twilight. I don't know where Twilight was but at the moment I had other things to worry about, the bug was tearing down the trees in it search. I looked down and saw a rock, I bent down to pick it up and place it in the sling.
I stepped out behind the trees with the sling spinning, aiming for the head I loose the rock as it flew towards the bug. It harmlessly bounced off its head and it turned towards me and growled.
“Shit,” I said as I ran to the right as it took a swing at me. I looked up to see the bug coming at me, as it got close a purple blast came out of nowhere. I looked and saw that Twilight was standing a few feet away with her hand up as purple smoke was coming off it.
I took this chance to pull out my knife and stab at one of the joints of its legs. It screamed and started to thrash around, I rolled out of the way to get out of it's thrashing. I looked up to see that I was about a few feet away from her. The bug looked at us and opened its wings and started to beat them. At first I thought it was going to start flying but it didn't move or lift, instead it was kicking the ground up. I had to cover my eyes and narrow my eyes to see the best I could, I saw Twilight doing not as good. I heard the beating stop and as I moved my head the bug struck me, sending me into a big tree.
I groaned as my vision blurred, I looked up to see the bug standing over me a drove it's claw at me. I tried to move out of the way but it stabbed me in the stomach. I looked down at it and blinked before the pain sets in.
“AHHHHHHHHGGHGGGH!!”
“Blake! Oh Celestia the blood, don't worry you're going to be alright, just stay calm and stay awake…” I stopped listening as I looked down. My hands were at where my stomach was and saw that they were covered in blood. The pain, while still there and so much that I wanted to scream, started to dim. I'm… dying… the pain, oh the pain it's too much. I felt tears run down my face. I...I… I don't want to die, I just got here and I'm not going to die.
I hear the sounds of explosions coming from in front of me. I looked up to see others in armor fighting the bug. The bug, I started to feel angry, it was the one that did this, it's the one that impaled me and leaving me to die.
I saw the world turn red as I looked at the giant bug as my anger started to rise, it should burn. The bug should burn to a crisp. The place started to become brighter as I felt a burning sensation from my head as I stared at the bug.
burn…
Burn…….
BURN!!!
“Blake? Blake stay awake!” I head Twilight told me. I looked over to her as my vision blurs, just… just rest my eyes for a few minutes and I’ll be fine. I closed my eyes and the sounds melted away.
Celestia,
Two hours later
Have you heard the phrase ‘Never mess with a mama bears cups’? The idea behind it is you never mess with a mother's kids. Why am I bringing it up right now, well I lived for a long time and over the years I never met someone that I felt to be the one? I have seen many suitors but none of them had that spark that I was looking for, there was Sombra but… things didn’t work out since he went to study black magic.
I’m getting off track here, for the longest time I always wanted a child someone the looked up to me as a mother and love me as one. I thought I would never get to have that until two girls caught my attention. The first I thought would be perfect the poor thing was living out in the streets when I found her and I had everything ready to call her my daughter but… things didn’t turn out how I wanted. I thought fate was being cruel to me by showing me something that I wanted so much just for it to be yanked away, then Twilight came into the picture. She was the same as the first but had a loving family and, now, good friends that love and cared for her. But still she’s like a daughter to me, even I treat her as a student as any teacher would deep down I love her as any mother would.
When I heard the news that she has been kidnapped I thought fate was being cruel to me for the second time. That I would lose another daughter, I planned on flipping the whole land upside down to look for her but I was talked out of it by my sister.
Now imagine me when I got a letter from Spike, Twilight’s little brother, saying that Twilight is back and she needs help. Mind my language but what the living fuck do you think I did, bolted out of the castle and headed towards Evos at top speed. I might have broken the sound barrier but I didn’t care at the moment, I wanted… no needed to know that Twilight was alright.
Evos came into view as I flew over the Everfree. I headed toward the library and saw two guards standing out front. I landed a couple feet away from them and headed into the tree. When I went in I saw everyone here except Twilight and Fluttershy. They all looked at me and Shining was going to say something until I cut him off with a look.
“Where is Twilight,” I asked him firmly. He blinked at me and slowly pointed to the stairs. I nodded my thanks and headed upstairs. As I headed towards Twilight’s room I saw the door open and Fluttershy walked out taking bloodied gloves off and sighed. She turned and went wide eyed as she saw me. “Thank you Fluttershy, I’ll take it from here.”
She nodded quickly and briskly walked passed me, I chuckled a bit she has known me for some time now yet she still is nervous around me. I walked into the room and looked around, I sighed happily at the sight of Twilight well and unharmed other than some cuts and bruises. What confused me was the other girl laying on her bed with bloody bandages and rags all over.
“By the gods, you're here, I need your help,” Twilight said to me. I blinked at her and went to her side to look at the other girl.
“Twilight what happened?” I asked. She looked at me then over at the other girl who was breathing rapidly.
“I… she rescued me from the Diamond dogs that kidnapped me and was taking me back here, we stopped at the Castle of the Two Sisters for the night to sleep until I was woken up by her due to the fact that an Obsidios was there, we tried to sneak out but it found out and chased us to Sweet Apple Acres and we held it there until the guards would come but it hit her into the tree and it… and it…” I saw her started to panick and also started to hyperventilate. I pulled her into a hug to calm her down.
“Shhh… it’s alright Twilight everything is going to be fine,” I told her. Slowly she calmed down and started to breathe normally. “Now let's see if we can save her life.”
I let her go and headed to the bedside to get a better look at the wound. It was bandaged up tightly but I saw the blood pouring out and by the size of it, it looked like she was impaled. I moved my hands over her stomach and started to pour my magic into her. At first it didn’t do anything but then I felt something that I didn’t expect, my magic was being forced out of her. I looked at her with a puzzled look as I tried again, then again, then again.
‘What’s going on? Why isn’t she healing?” I thought as I stopped my magic. I looked at her for a moment as something caught my eye, the colour red. I looked around the room and saw that the whole room was red, wondering why I looked up out of the sunroof that Twilight had and saw something this I would never have seen.
A red moon, Luna’s moon was red. I stared at it for some time until another light shined. I looked down to see the girls arms glowing with silver and red runes. I saw the light move over to her stomach and heard her wince a bit. After a moment the glow dimmed and the colour of the moon returned to normal, the girl’s face and breath relaxed as this happened. I looked at her stomach and began to remove the bandages. It took a bit but I took them off and saw something that I didn’t understand, the wound was healed without a scar.
“Princess Celestia you did it! The wound is gone!” Twilight said happily. I stared at the girl's stomach with more questions than answers.
“Yes well… let’s check to see if it’s fully healed, help me set her up.” I asked her. I went and lifted her up to a sitting position as Twilight hold her there as I lift up the back of her shirt and removed the bandages. I inhaled sharply at what I saw, yes the wound is gone but that wasn’t it. I saw not only runes on her arms but the marks of Caelum and Magi . What also is interesting is that the mark of Caelum looked much different than the normal one. I frowned at this.
“Princess, is everything alright?” I heard Twilight asked me bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at her and at the marks as I pulled the shirt back down.
“Yes Twilight everything is fine she just needs some rest, also what did I say about calling me, Princess. You don't need to do that anymore.” I told her with a smile.
“Sorry, old habits die hard,” Twilight said. I slowly set the girl back down and I checked if there any other wounds, but I found none and what also intrigued me more was her eye were crimson coloured. After that, Twilight and I both headed downstairs to explain what was going on.
It took a bit but everyone started to head back home to sleep. Rainbow said that she was staying at the library for the night and I smiled at her. Shining and the rest of the guards started to make night patrols around town. After seeing that I went into the sky and headed home, it been one hell of a night.
I landed on the balcony to my room and sighed after the fact that I flew all the way to Evos and back, I could have teleported there and back with ease. I guess it was an ‘in the moment’ thing.
I turned to looked at the moon, remembering that it was the colour some time ago. I frowned at it.
“I should check on her, see if she's alright,” I said to myself. I headed to the castle to head towards my sister's room. When I got there I saw that it was open slightly. I opened the door and went into the room.
“Luna? Are you here?” I called out. I looked around and saw her standing out on her balcony looking up at her moon. “Luna?”
“Hmm?” She turned and looked at me, “Sorry I didn't hear you come in.”
“Just wanting to see if you’re alright,” I said to her. She snorted.
“Tia I'm fine, you need to stop worrying about me.”
“I know Lu, it's just that when I was in Evos the moon changed colour and I was worried if something has happened,” I told her. She stared at me for a moment then to the moon with a frown.
"I was wondering about that as well, I didn't turn the moon into a Hunter’s moon.” she told me.
“A… Hunter’s moon?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes at me.
“Yes, it's also called known as a Blood moon but I like the other name better, also why were you in Evos Tia?” Luna asked me.
“I got a letter that said Twilight returned and needed help,” I told her.
“Well that would be a good reason for you bolting out of the castle, I got reports that a lot of windows and power lines were destroyed by some sort of shockwave, know anything about it?” Luna teased. I rolled my eyes at her as I explained what has happened, Luna frowned when I said that there was an Obsidios.
“I thought they were all sent to the Badlands, how did one of them get out?” Luna wondered.
“I don’t know sister but that’s not what I wanted to talk about.”
“Oh, and what would that be?” She asked. I looked up at the moon and sighed.
“It’s the girl that saved Twilight,” I said to her.
“The girl that saved her? Why would she be any interest?” Luna asked.
“When I got to the library and saw her she was at death's door since she got impaled by the Obsidios and when I tried to heal her my magic was… I don’t know how or why but my magic was being forced out. Just when I thought about it the runes on her arms begin to glow and she healed herself.” I explained.
“I see, well some Erde are known for healing from any injury even life-endangering one's, maybe she was one of them,” Luna said.
“That what I thought at first but when I checked if she had any other injuries I found that she has the marks of a Magi and a Caelum.” I continued. Luna looked at me for a moment in surprise.
“So… she’s a Celestial then?” She asked me. I eyed her for a moment.
“I believe that she’s a Dark Celestial due to the markings, but what I don’t understand why she helped Twilight in the Everfree.” I wondered.
“Well not all Dark Celestials are evil dear sister,” Luna said with a huff. I chuckled at her, it’s known that Celestials and Dark Celestials fight all the time but that was a long time ago and things have changed, look at me and Luna I’m a Celestial and she a Dark Celestial and we don’t fight… well, not all the time.
“I know that sister, I was just curious that’s all. I said with a smiled. We didn’t talk for a bit after that until Luna spoke.
“So this girl, what does she look like?” She asked me. I thought about it and closed my eyes and made a picture appear with the image of her. When I looked at it I saw that it was the image of her sleeping and I handed it to her,
“This is what she looked like, she was also has very pale skin and has crimson eyes.” I told her. I looked at her as she hold the picture with both hands. I couldn’t read her face but I saw her hands trembling. “Lu? Are you alright?”
“Celestia can you please leave me, I want to be alone right now.” She asked in a low tone. I stared at her for a moment. The only time that she calls me by my full name in when we are in front of others or something serious is going on.
“Lu, is something wrong?” I asked her.
“Just… leave me.” Luna said without looking at me. I was going to say something but I felt something pushing me out of the room.
“Alright I'll leave, but if you need anything just ask,” I said to her. She didn't say anything as I left her room. As I closed the room I began to head to my room.
As I left her door I thought I heard the sound of Luna crying.
Do not mess with a girl's knife.
The first thing I found out when I woke up is that I was in a bed that I didn't know and that I was in said bad for some time since my mouth felt like a desert. I opened my eyes and sat up in the bed to look around where I was. The room was tidy and simple with a window that overlooks a town by the sounds that I was hearing.
I looked over at the bedside and saw a pitcher of water with ice and a glass. I took them and poured myself a glass to drink, it helped with the dryness but now it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
I got out of the bed and as I stood up I felt my legs wobble a bit and the rest of my body felt very sore. I placed a hand on the wall to steady myself and saw that I was wearing different clothes than before. They were made out of soft orange cloth that reminded me of fall clothing. They felt very comfortable but as I was checking them out I found out something that was a bit annoying, I didn't have a bra on.
I groaned at this and decided that it wasn't something to continue to worry about, it's just a bra and I can get another one… I hope. I looked over and saw my bag at the end of the bed. I went to it and saw that everything was there other than my sling, my throwing knives, and my hunting knife. This concerned me for that knife belonged to my dad and he gave it to me before he died.
As I thought about this I heard the door behind me open and a man stepped into the room. He was tall, has long green spiky hair and eyes that looked reptilian and pointy ears. He wore a white t-shirt and some jeans. He looked up to see me staring at him.
“Oh your awake, Twilight will be overjoyed that you are.” he said as I continue to stare at him. He looked behind him as if someone is there and looked at me confused. “Umm is there something the matter?”
“You didn't knock before you walked in.” I told him. He blinked at me as if I grew a second head.
"Uhh why is that a big deal?” he asked. I placed my hands on my hips and frowned.
"Because it very rude to do that, what if I was changing clothes, or doing something private, or something. Next time when you're entering a room that has the door closed you should knock.” I explained to him. I may have lived in the mountains for most of my life but that's no excuse for having bad manners.
“Uhh… right well sorry but you have been sleeping for three days and I thought you were still sleeping.” he said. I was sleeping for three days? I stared at him as I thought about what he just said. At this moment I saw that he had something with him.
“What’s that?” I asked him.
“Hmm? Oh this, these are some clothes for you since your old clothes were… well destroyed.” He said. Destroyed? How did my clothes get destr- Oh wait now I remember. Giant bug, running like hell, getting impaled by it, a lot of pain.
“Uhh thanks.” I said as I took the clothes.
“I’ll leave you to change, there’s food downstairs if you want some.” he said as he leaves. I took some time to look at the clothes he has given me. They were… fancy. There was a white fancy dress shirt with a ribbon or something and a black skirt and some new underwear. I looked around and saw a dresser and I went to open it to see some more clothes, a bit smaller but not by much. I took out a brown t-shirt and jeans and put them on over the new underwear. I looked myself in a mirror and saw that the pants were snug and the shirt was surprisingly bigger than I thought as it could be made into a dress. I looked at the dress shirt and skirt and folded them, I’m not saying they were bad it just that I don’t do fancy clothes.
I carried them as I went out of the door and headed downstairs. I placed my hand where I was impaled. I felt fine but the memory of it still made me wince a bit. From a blow like that, I should be dead right now. Wait am I dead? I got buried alive and impaled, I’m thinking that I’m really dead and this is my afterlife… great.
I made my way to the bottom of the stairs and saw what looks like a small bookstore. It had bookshelves and some furniture so I guess it’s like a living room sort of deal. I saw Twilight, wearing what I can describe as librarian outfit, a white blouse with a purple tie and a long skirt, she was sitting in one of the chairs reading a book before looking up at me.
“You’re awake!” She said with a smile. She got up from where she was sitting. She stopped a bit away from me. “What… are you wearing?”
“Uhh clothes?” I answered as I looked at them. “Is there anything wrong with them?”
“Well it’s not that it’s just that my friend made them for you and…” I stopped her with putting up my hand.
“I not saying that they are bad or anything it’s just I don’t do fancy clothes, tried once didn’t enjoy them.” I told her. She nodded but didn’t look as happy. I was going to ask her something but I caught a whiff of something that smelled good.
“Food.” Was all I said as I walked into the kitchen area. I saw the man from before placing a plate of waffles down on the table with eggs, toast, orange juice, fruit, and bacon. My mouth started to water at the sight.
“Well I guess you're hungry, go on have some.” the man said. I happily complied as I sat down and started to shovel food onto my plate. Shortly after a minute, I had most of the eggs, bacon and almost all the fruit which are apples, oranges, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries. I also had three pieces of toast and a big glass of orange juice. I then happily started to wolf down the food, I may have been out for three days but I felt like I haven't eaten for two weeks.
“Wow I haven't seen anyone eat as fast as you other than Pinkie.” I heard Twilight said as she sat down. I tried to speak but it came out as food covered noises. The man smacks me on the head with a wooden spoon.
“Gulp! Sorry, what I said was I feel like I haven't eaten for two weeks, are you sure I was out for three days?” I asked. I stabbed a group of bacon and eat said group of bacon.
“Well it would make sense with you feeling that way with the spell you cast and the markings on you.” Twilight said as she started to eat the plate full of waffles. I blinked at her, markings? Does she mean the tattoos on my arms? Wait did she say that I cast a spell, I have magic!
“You mean these?” I asked without a mouthful of food and raised my arm.
“No… well yes but still no, those are the mark of Erde, if you want to be technical the magic part comes from the fact you have the mark of a Magi.” She explained. I was about to eat a forkful of eggs but stopped as I listened. Erde? Magi? I thought they were humans.
“Wait you mean those tattoos that you have?” I asked her. She nodded as she puts more waffles into her mouth and swallowed.
"Yes them, normally someone would have only one of the markings since they indicate which race you are, a Magi, an Erde, or a Caelum. But there are beings called Celestials who have all three markings.” She explained.
“Right and you said that before and right now that they're perfect beings and you're one of them.” I said to her right before I took a drink of my orange juice.
“That's right, Twilight Sparkle is a one of three Celestials that are known.” the man said as he sat down with a plate of bacon, eggs and… rocks?
“Thank you, Spike, I was getting to that.” Twilight said to the man, I guess his name is Spike, before continuing. “Yes I'm one of three Celestials that are known, the other two are Princess Celestia and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.”
I stared at her for a moment as I did the math. “Isn't there a fourth one?” I asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Well in one of the books I read at the castle it says that there are two rulers, one is Celestia and the other is Luna her sister. So doesn't that make her a Celestial as well.” I told them. They looked at one another then back at me.
“... Kinda, you see Princess Luna isn't really a Celestial, she's some called a Dark Celestial.” she said, I nodded and ate some more food. I didn't want her to go on another tangent on it so I kept quite. I looked at her and Spike as they ate.
“So… are you two a couple?” I asked them. Twilight did a spit take as Spike was choking on his food.
“W-w-w-what! No!” Twilight stuttered as her face was bright red. Spike was still trying to clear his throat. I looked between the two of them.
“Okay then, the ” I said to them as I, finished my plate. Spike stood up and shook his head.
“I… I have some stuff to do so if you would excuse me.” he says as he leaves the room. I heard the door closed as he leaves and a smack as Twilight hits her head on the table.
“Why did you say that…” she groans. I shrugged as I poured some more juice.
“Was just asking,” I said. She looks up at me and gave me the evil eye.
“Well just to let you know that Spike is my little brother.” she said.
“If he’s your little brother then why does he looks older than you.” I replied. She eyed me for a moment.
“Beast-kin age much differently than others.” she told me. I nodded and finished the last of my juice and place my dishes in the sink. My hand brush the side of my leg and felt nothing there. Frowning I turned to Twilight, who was slightly blushing, and crossed my arms.
“My knife please.” this got her attention.
“What?”
“My knife, I would like it back please.” I repeated. She stared at me as I waited.
“I'm sorry, but can't give your knife back.” she replied. I felt my eye twitched, I narrowed my eyes.
“Why not.” I asked. I sounded calm but I felt my anger rise a bit.
“Well there's something about it that’s odd, so I and maybe some others are going to examined it.” Twilight said. Examined. That word rubs me the wrong way. I leaned closer to Twilight which cast a shadow over my eyes.
“No, I want my knife back so can I have it back please.” I asked again.
“Again, I’m sorry but I can’t-” I slammed my hand on the table, cutter her off.
“Where. Is. My. Knife.” I asked slowly. I saw fear in her eyes but I didn't care, I wanted my knife and I'm getting my knife one way or another.
“it's… It's not here, my brother took it when you were knocked out.”
"Then where's is he?” I asked her.
“He… at the edge of town, he and the group of guards are in a building for the last few days.” she said. I pushed off the table and headed for the door.
I heard Twilight yell something out but I didn't listen, I had one thing in mind and it was getting my knife back.
Shining Armor
I let out a sigh as I finished the last paper I had to do. I looked up at the clock and thought back on the last few days.
It been a stressful few weeks with Twilight getting kidnapped and all the searching. Cadence was worried sick for her, I tried to calm her down but she was up there.
Then a few days ago she showed up with someone running from a giant bug.
My thoughts turned to the woman who was with her. I had a feeling about her when I saw her, other than the fact that there's a giant hole in her stomach and close to death, there's something about her but I couldn't tell.
I looked at the knife on the desk. It looked like a normal hunting knife other than the fact it’s black but when I took it off her I could tell that it was made with care, perfectly balance and taken care of. I picked it up to take a closer look at it, I see scratches on it from all the use it been through. I place my finger on the blade to test the sharpness. I winced as I drew blood, I didn't put a lot of pressure on it yet I drew blood.
“She must have taken very good care of it.” I said to myself. I set the knife down in one of the drawers. I don't understand why Twilight wants to study it so much, again it's a normal knife but…
“Hey you're not supposed to be here!” a voice drew me out of my thoughts. I stared at the door as there was more yelling until it swung over and I saw the girl from before, looking very angry.
“You're Twilight's brother?” she asked. I could tell that she was trying to sound calm but her facial and body told me otherwise.
“Yes, I'm Twilight's brother. Names Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard." I mentally slapped the back of my head for that, I wasn't the captain anymore but King of the Crystal Empire. Force of habit I guess.
“Right, names Blake and I want my knife back please.” she asked. I paused at that, she came all the way down here just for her knife. I narrowed my eyes at her.
“How do you know I have it?” I asked.
“Doesn't matter, can I have it or is this going to get hard?” she asked. She walked forward which gave me a better view of her, mostly her hands. They had scratches and cuts on them meaning that she seen a few fights, with what I can't say.
“Why is it important?” I asked her. She stopped in front of my desk, I saw her facial features softened a bit.
“You won't understand, now can I-”
“Maybe I would if you trust me.” I cut her off. She was silent for a bit staring at me.
“It was a birthday present from my dad.” she looked down as she looked sad. “It was the last present he gave me.”
I stared at her for a bit before I opened the draw and pulled out the knit, and a band-aid for my finger. I handed her the knife back at her and saw the look of relief on her as she took it.
"Sorry for taking it if I had known that it was something important I would've given it back.” I said as I put the band-aid on my finger. “Wait, how did Twilight tell you I have it?”
She froze before started to shifted a bit. “I may have threatened it out of her, well more like scared it out, I should apologise to her.”
I frowned at her, “ Normally I would have thrown you in jail for a few days for making a threat but after what happened three days ago,” I saw her shudder a bit, I don't blame her. “I wouldn't do that, though can you answer me why my sister to examine it?”
“I guess maybe what it made out of, it was made out of a meteorite before I was born.” she explained.
“Well that would explain why the colour.” I chuckled. She smiled and tied the knife to her side, she looked a bit happier with it.
“Well I better leave you, sorry for barging in like this.”
“No worries, I’ll see you around.” I told her. She smiled and walked out of the room, I stared at the door for a few moments before pulling out a tablet and started typing, sending the princesses that she was awake.
