Angel Unknown

Off in the far distance, a large crater with a bipedal figure burned in the center of the Everfree. "That's the last time I try gunning it." Luminous said as he rubbed his head. Slowly, he stood back on two feet while using a nearby tree for balance. After a long minute, the world around him began to clear and now it was possible to see the surrounding environment.

"The hell? Why am I in freaking forest? I'm pretty sure I was in Heaven til' just a minute ago." The final moments of the fight flashed inside his head. "Oh yeah. Let's hope he didn't get here too."  Luminous slowly regained his balance. "Suppose I should find some civilization."

He noticed that the crater was rather deep then he had anticipated and had to climb out. After finally managing to climb the wall, his legs finally woke themselves up. Shortly after, a feint crunching sound could be heard in the ever expanding forest. He prepared his weapon, ready to strike at any given moment. What stepped out of the bush came as a great shock to him. A majestic, white pony had emerged.

The white figured stared at him for a moment until finally speaking. "Do you understand us?"

"What? No hi or greetings?" Luminous questioned.

"Forgive me for my rudeness, but I simply needed to know if you spoke our language. After all, it would make talking quite easier."

"I agree, but you didn't come here for idle chit-chat have you?"

The figures expression turned serious. "No. I haven't. I came to issue a warning. For one, my ponies will be here in just a moment and likely attack you on sight. They've never been to kind to visitors and I think they will be a little extra rough with me around here."

"Go figure. Everybody would probably go jump off a cliff if the ruler asked them too."

The princess giggled. "Don't worry I wouldn't do something as cruel as that. Oh goodness, where are my formalities? My name is Princess Celestia."

"So you are the ruler." Luminous finally lowered his scythe.

"Yes. What is your name?" Celestia smiled

He hesitated for a moment. "...Luminous."

"Well, Luminous. I suggest you might start running."

"What? You're just gonna let them pulverize me?" Luminous smiled

"Despite my status I can't control what they do whenever something unknown is next to me or Luna."

"I see. Well, I guess I will take your advice." Luminous tried to open his wings but they were stuck to his back. "What the?" He tried forcing his wings out. but to no avail.

Celestia looked at him with a confused glare. "What's wrong?"

"Can't get my wings to open, that's what's wrong!"

"Well, Sorry to say but I can't use my magic to pull your wings out. It would get too painful too fast."

Luminous sighed. "Well thankfully, I practiced parkour when I was alive."

"Princess!" A large group of ponies shouted while jumping out of a bush.

"Well, i'll take this as my ticket out of here."

"Meet me in Canterlot later. We have things to talk about." Celestia pointed to a large city on a mountain with a... hoof? She soon teleported away from the forest.

"Fine."

"Princess, get back to Canterlot, We'll take care of this... thing!"

"Oh come on, can't we talk about this?" Luminous said, sarcastically.The lavender unicorn fired a bolt at him. "Guess not."

The orange tossed a lasso at him, which Luminous countered by throwing his scythe in the middle of it. "Ha! got yer' tool!" Suddenly, she felt her lasso get lighter. "What in tarnation?"

The orange cowpony looked back at the owner of the scythe. Black molecules began forming just above his hand. "Is that the best you got?" Luminous began spinning the weapon on a single finger.  "Yeah, the princess told me to run and all, but I don't want to." Luminous readied his scythe into a battle stance. "I'm gonna fight."
