Battlemage in Equestria

Ak'zaka sat in on a small couch inside of what appeared to be a large castle, made partially of crystals. It reminded him a little bit of the Ayleid ruins he'd been to.

"So, mister... Ak-zaka, was it?" The unicorn-thing (apparently known as Twilight) asked uncertainly.

"Ak'zaka." The khajiit replied calmly, having lowered his battlemage hood to reveal his feline features.

"Ak'zaka, yes... if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you?"

"I am what is known as a khajiit, one of the many humanoid species populating the lands of Tamriel."

"And... what's this 'Tamriel' like, compared to Equestria?"

"Is that what this realm is called?" Ak'zaka asked with a chuckle. "Interesting name, I suppose. I'd probably say that this 'Equestria' and Tamriel are rather similar, actually. The only significant differences that I can see would probably be the inhabitants."

"Realm, you said? So, the 'people' Tamriel believe in other dimensions?" Twilight asked.

"Believe? We have definitive proof. There's still the remnants to Oblivion Gates all across Cyrodiil from the Oblivion Crisis a few years ago. The arch-mage of the Mages Guild - long before becoming the arch-mage - actually closed nearly every single one of them by himself. Besides, doesn't my presence here prove that there are other realms?"

Twilight was furiously scribbling this down on a piece of parchment as Ak'zaka spoke, nodding.

"Do all unicorns use telekinesis to write?" Ak'zaka asked after a moment.

"Every unicorn I know does, though I have heard of a few unicorns using their mouths to write." Twilight responded distractedly.

"Do all residents in this realm know telekinesis?"

"Just the unicorns; the pegasi, however, are able to fly and walk on clouds, and the Earth ponies are much physically stronger."

"Hmm. That would certainly explain some of the other... 'ponies' I've seen around here." Ak'zaka mused to himself, glancing out a nearby window.

"So, you said... Khajiit, was it? You said they were just one of the races your dimension housed, correct?"

"Indeed. The other races include Bretons, Argonians, Imperials, Redguards, and Dunmers."

Twilight rapidly began writing down this new information before asking for some more information about each of them - their differences, their different cultures, and so on. Ak'zaka sighed - he was going to be here for quite a while.

"...and that was how the Oblivion Crisis came to an end." Ak'zaka finished. By now, Twilight's notes spanned across several whole scrolls and a whole bunch of spare sheets of paper. Said notes lay in a semi-organized pile as she finished the last sheet of paper and lay it down. Her horn lit up again as she picked up and shuffled through her notes with a critical eye, making sure they were in the proper order before calling for Spike.

The baby dragon walked inside wearing an apron, apparently having been in the middle of cooking a meal... probably dinner, judging by how long he'd spent answering questions. Looking out the window, however, he was surprised to see the sun still sitting high in the sky.

"How long is a day in Equestria?" He asked, still looking out the window as Spike gathered up the notes.

"Twenty-four hours; why do you ask?" Twilight asked.

"Then why has the sun not moved at all in the eight hours we've been sitting here talking?" He asked, turning back to her. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of Spike burning the letters with green fire but deciding to ignore it in favor of of the question at hand.

"Because it's not time for Princess Celestia to lower the sun yet."

"So, this... 'Princess Celestia' raises and lowers the sun?"

"Of course! Doesn't someone do the same in Tamriel?"

"No-one on our earth, that's for sure. But there has been a lot of controversy over what deity controls the movement of the sun, I know that much." Ak'zaka replied with a shrug. "I personally don't give it much thought, honestly."

Twilight began rapidly writing this down on the last sheet of paper she had, before frowning and peering into her inkwell. "Spike, could you go get one of my spare inkwells, please?"

The baby dragon nodded and headed out of the room as Ak'zaka watched him go. "So... why did he burn all the notes you'd just taken?"

"His fire is special." Twilight explained. "By engulfing something in his fire, he can send it straight to Princess Celestia herself."

"Huh. Interesting." Ak'zaka said before turning back to the window in time to see the sun abruptly setting, it's spot in the sky being replaced by a crescent moon.
