Strange Visitors From a Darker World

(Note: This story has characters from my head world entering Equestria, so a few of my OCs will appear. If you see a way I can make the story better (like if you see a writing error or have a plot suggestion) then feel free to let me know! I am hoping to make this story very enjoyable for all who read it)

The Shattered Multiverse...

Many plane of exist tied together but separated from other realities

It holds many dangers and entities that Equestria should never have to meet

But today the barrier fell, just for a moment

And some of the beings entered into Equestria...

~Canterlot Castle~

A pale white dragon with brown chest plates and horns stepped out of the shimmering rift between worlds. Red runes darted across his body and his eyes scanned the area. He was in a castle… he moved cautiously to avoid being seen by those who might have lived within. He heard talking down the hall and hid himself around the corner. He peaked cautiously out just in time to see two creatures with horns and feathered wings passing by the other corridor, one was white with rainbow colored hair, and the other was a deep blue. The white one had a sun on her flank and the other a moon. He decided that must be what the natives of this world looked like so he altered his form.

The white dragon promptly shifted into the form of an Alicorn… though he did not know what it was. He left his hiding place and proceeded after them, stopping when he came to a highly reflective vase. He looked at it and turned his head curiously over to the side. In the reflection, he noticed his flank was still blank… but these creatures seemed to have makings. He glanced at his wings and shrugged. The blood moon mark was still there, he just commanded it to move to the flank and bam… the mark was not on his flank. The red runes on his body flickered as his power levels began to drop.

The curios dragon… or Alicorn I guess… eventually caught up to the two he had seen. But what would he say to them? He was never any good with words. He always had his friends speak for him as he was always to confused. Well… to late… they noticed him…

Their eyes stared at him in astonishment…. “A… male… alicorn…” they gasp.

He had no clue what they meant and just tilted his head to the side in confusion.

The white one looked over his body carefully, walking around him and observing each detail. He was white but the feathers on his wings were brown and covered in tiny stars. His eyes, mane, and tail were also brown. His cutie mark… was a blood red moon… and his horn seemed jagged but was also brown. “It seems he is…” she gasped.

“who are you?” asked the darker one.

This question he could answer. He knew his project designation, he also knew that no one liked the full name so he would use… his abbreviated name. “I am S-T-A-R-D-U-S-T” he said, his face seemed to smile brightly. Those who knew him only ever saw him confused or happy… as he did not know how to adjust his facial muscles otherwise.

The white one laughed, “No need to spell out your name for us, Stardust, is it? I am Celestia, and this is my sister Luna. Where did you come from?”

He did not understand how whenever he introduced himself they started calling him Stardust… was it something he said? Was it the twinkling stars on his wings? He would probably never know. But that next question… he did not know how to answer. So… as he does when he does not understand… answer at random. “I don’t know a bright light.” This seemed to satisfy them as they heard it as “I don’t know, a bright light.” They assumed he was then somehow born from magical energy.

“Well Stardust, Equestria has never had an alicorn prince before today, feel free to join me in the throne room later. I have to greet the guests to the Gala soon, it would be a good way to introduce you to the citizens here.” Celestia said and she walked off, Luna at her side. She looked back at him over her shoulder. He was… unusual… but cute. She giggled as she saw him poking at a speck of light on the wall that was reflecting off a vase. A little childish it seemed... she thought to herself.

“ok,” he answered, his attention occupied but he did hear her… though he had no clue what a throne room was…or a gala.

Celestia glanced back at him once more before the turning the corner and saw him waving at her vigorously with a bright smile on his face… she giggled at the sight of his hoof moving so fast.

After the females, had left Stardust felt his power drain further… he winced and leaned against the wall. A white unicorn male came down the hall and almost bumped into him. “Who dares get… in… my… way… a… alicorn?” the male stood dumbstruck.

Stardust stared at him in confusion…

“I am… Prince Blueblood…” the pony said as he regained his composer.

Stardust’s eyes flashed red at the mention of the word… “blood”

~perspective: Flimsy~

Flimsy stayed hidden in every corner he could… he was supposed to be spying on the royal sisters for Queen Chrysalis. But he had run into a creature that he knew was not another changeling but still changed form… maybe it was just a different kind of changeling just from a hive no one knew about? Regardless of that he felt he should keep an eye on it to see what it does.

He took the form of a royal guard and walked into the hall with Stardust and the unicorn… but watched in fear as the creature went back to its dragonic state, snatch up the prince… and drag him off into a closet. The creature left looking like an alicorn again but the prince did not follow. The creature passed right by him on its way out.

The changeling was not sure if it was a good idea… but he figured he had better open the supply closet door. As he did so she shrieked and closed it again… what he saw was a body drained of its fluids and slowly being eaten away by red runes. Soon the evidence of the murder would be gone.

~Perspective: Stardust~

Stardust pranced happily down the hall… it felt good to no longer be hungry… though he could not remember what he ate, was it pie? He never can remember what he eats. He always blanks out when he gets to hungry. Oh well… at least he was fed.

He had finally found the white alicorn again, she was sitting at the top of the steps and shaking the hooves of a bunch of smaller ponies. Stardust sat beside her and smiled.

“Oh! So, you made it!” She said with a smile. “I am glad you could, have you seen Blueblood? He said he would be here.

Stardust looked confused… he thought blood was red… “I don’t think so…”

She just nodded, excepting his answer. “I guess he is late. Now to show you to the people…” She then stood and gestured to him with a wing. “Ponies, I would like to into duce you all to Prince Stardust! He is a visitor from outside of Equestria.” This was more of an assumption, but she never saw him before so he had to be from another land, and alicorns were always royalty right?

The room was filled with cheering… but why? No one ever cheered for Stardust… and what was a prince? He just turned his head sideways in confusion, this made Celestia giggle. He did not know why people always giggles around him… everything is always so confusing.
