A Story's End
Chapter 2 (Edit)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt has been a pretty rough day for Celestia, having to listen to the usual rabble of the nobles and plus there's the problem of a small town getting ransacked by a group of rogue griffins on the borders. Celestia sits silently to herself enjoying the only good thing to come on this day, a nice big slice of chocolate cake with strawberry cream cheese frosting. She gently cuts into the cake with a silver fork bringing it to her mouth and eating it. She let's out a pleased hum as she chews but at that exact moment one of her guards comes barging in startling Celestia causing her to drop the cake
"Princess... sorry to intrude like this but there's a problem, a big problem. while Princess Twilight was studying, something came smashing through the window knocking every shelf down in the archives, and resulting in Twilight going berserk." The guard finishes as he pants and Celestia just sits there feeling her stress levels increase at this information.
"What was this object that wrecked the archives?" She asks as she takes some deep breaths to calm herself 'Stay calm Tia, stay calm, you don't need to blow a gasket over this.' she mentality says to herself as the guard calls out to her.
"Princess are you alright?" The guard asks as he ruffles his wings.
"Yes, my little pony, I'm fine, just a little stressed is all, so what was this object." She once again asks him as she leans back to get a bit of comfort in this day.
"Well it was two objects, both Metal. One is a miniature like thing clad in extremely heavy black armor which we can't get off of him and the other being is a metal ball that hovers around and was beeping at us whenever we got too close, I believe he's it's owner." he finishes up explaining to Celestia as she stands up.
Celestia looks at him curiously "How do you know it's a him? You said that you couldn't get the armor off?" She leans back..
"From the armor structure and an access slot in the nether region we found, upon opening we saw the male genitalia and the most foulest stench I ever smelled..." He mentions as he cringes. Celestia nods, the last part she didn't need to know but at least she knows not to open the slot.
"So... can I see him?" She asks the guard as she walks down the stairs leading up to her throne as her hooves clop, echoing through the throne room.
"Well he's asleep and he's being held in the dungeon for the time being, we don't want to risk having him running around the castle if he's going to be a threat." He tells Celestia who nods once more, then picks up the fallen piece of cake.
"So that's a no then?"
"Well no not exactly it's more like we better wait un-" just at that moment another guard teleports into the the throne room.
"Princess! He's awake, and he won't shut up!" This causing Celestia to raise an eyebrow.

Meanwhile in the dungeons the Storyteller stands behind the iron bars as two unicorn guards just stand there ignoring him "Dammit, can he shut up? He hasn't been awake ten minutes and he won't shut his mouth." One guard says to her companion another mare who then nods to her humming a song
"... And that's a story for another day." He finishes up his story about the founding of Megaton but then a question or, well to comes to his mind "Hey, what's your names, and where's EDNA?" He asks them and they sigh in relief at the fact that he's done blabing for now.
The mare on the left, a tall, slim, mare who is built like a model you would find in pre-war magazines, she flicks her long messy hair out of her face and speaks "Well, I'm Sliver lines, and that over there is my marefriend Glory Nights." she says pointing to the other mare with a prosthetic leg. Her coat being a dark blue and mane short and messy. "And who? You’re talking about that floating ball? it's being held in containment, nearly killed somepony." She says as she flicks her tail.
Just at that moment Celestia walks in and speaks "I'd like to speak to him alone." She says simply to Glory and Silver who sigh in relief once more, glad that they no longer needed to be in the same room with him. They quickly trot out of the room and outside clearing the room for Celestia
"So, who and what are you?" She asks him with the slightest amount of annoyance in her voice to the Storyteller who answers her.
"Well I'm the Storyteller, as of my name I like to keep that private. And I take it you're the ruler of this place? and where exactly is here?" He asks Celestia who just glares at him.
"Well, yes I'm Princess Celestia, Co-ruler of equestria along side my younger sister Luna." She informs him as she summons a chair with her magic and sits in it. The Storyteller looks on with curiosity at the alicorn.
"Interesting. You run a monarchy right? There is small government organizations that formed different types of governments throughout the past 212 years. That brings something to mind, during my travels I came across a city in the ruins of Wliksbury, PA a year ago after scoring the place, to find a pretty well organized settlement underground there..." As he kept talking Princess Celestia clacks her hooves on the iron bars to gain his attention.
"Sorry to interrupt as much as I'd like to know where you come from, that's not relevant at this moment, but I do have another question, what exactly are you?" Celestia asks him curiously as she leans back in her chair.
"Oh, well I'm a human or homosapien if you want to get technical, it's latin translating to wise man." He tells her taking a seat on the somewhat comfortable bed residing within the cell.
Celestia nods at the new information that she gains from him but then an important question comes to mind "What was your purpose of coming here? You don't seem like the violent type?" She asks him "And what was the purpose of destroying the Royal Archives and thousands of years of history?" She tasks slightly angered when that came to mind. At this information the Storyteller freezes in shock and disbelief at what he did upon his arrival.
"I-I did what?" He asks shocked
"Princess Twilight was in the Royal Archives studying a spell that starswirl the bearded created hundreds of years ago when you came flying through one of the windows, hitting the shelf directly in line with the the window causing a chain reaction, and well... Twilight blew a gasket." She finishes up.
All he can simply say at the new found information is something he rarely says "Fuck me..." and sighs "I'm very sorry about that. I came here using a highly unpredictable machine that can teleport you to any random location. I accidentally activated it while talking to EDNA." He informs, not too happy with what he did.
"You-" just as Celestia goes to respond, a message from Twilight appears in front of her in a green flash of light, she unrolls it and starts to read then urgently gets up, "Sorry to cut this short but I got to tend to some business." but before she can go the Storyteller speaks up.
"Can you let me go I'd like to be reunited wi-" just before he could finish that Celestia smerks and teleports leaving him alone. "Figures. Well at least I got some time to think though." He lays back on the bed as he lifts a power armoured arm up behind his head and stairs up at the ceiling, thinking, but slowly drifts off to sleep.
