Twilight's Travels In The Multiverse

Five hundred years had passed since that day and Twilight lounged in her elven form in her humble wooden throne, surrounded by her extended family.

“Matriarch Sparkle!” a young elven boy ran in panting,

Twilight languidly sat upright upon her throne, “What’s the matter Thoren?”

Breathing heavily, the boy bent over, his hands supporting his upper torso as his hands rested on his legs just above the kneecaps, his short raven mess of hair and his violet eyes shone with an above average intelligence that all of Twilight’s family possessed. The boy reminded her of his Ancestress Dana’diel, How I miss her, she sighed as nostalgic memories filled her mind.

“Matriarch! Please pay attention! This is important!” Thoren complained, Twilight languidly but patiently smiled at him.

“Everything is important, dear Thoren. Please forgive me if I am not affected by the affairs of mortals with a far lesser lifespan as you are, I have lived far longer than I imagined that I would. However, tell me what is it that has put you into such a state?” Twilight smiled brightly and benevolently at her descendent.

“Near Carne village a great Tomb appeared out of nowhere two days ago,” Thoren added exasperatedly, speaking with his family's eldest member was always a chore, loved and respected as she was it seemed like she enjoyed teasing her descendents or drifting off into nostalgic reminiscence and generally being aloof.

Twilight rose to her feet, and made her way towards Thoren, “come join me for a walk. These old muscles need stretching,” she began walking over to his side and placing her hand on his shoulder.

Thoren rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh at his matriarch’s lack of urgency regarding his news. However, he allowed her to guide him from the throne room. Turning right they began to walk down a corridor that was filled with stained glass. Depicting various events in history. The fall of the greed kings, the downfall of the dragon lords, and the various heroic exploits in which his matriarch had taken part in.

Twilight looked at them wistfully before continuing down to her own private rooms, which no one could enter without permission. Thoren was met with yet more stained glass windows, this time depicting various winged unicorns, unicorns and pegasi and regular looking ponies.

Twilight regarded the images, with longing and sadness. She held her hand onto the one featuring navy blue winged unicorn with a mane and tail like the night sky and sapphire blue eyes.

“Who are they?” Thoren queried.

Twilight sighed, removing her hand from the stained glass image.

“They were my friends, my teachers. They are probably dead by now. That is our burden Thoren, the burden of the immortal.” Twilight smiled wanly back at him.

“Regardless, I believe you had news. Tell me, what did it look like?” Twilight asked, suddenly rousing Thoren out of his musings.

Thoren blinked confusedly, “It's a giant stone structure with fluted columns around its perimeter. In the center is a large mausoleum and three smaller structures adjacent. The undead shambled around the graves.”

Twilight smiled as she processed what she had heard. Finally after all these centuries.Nazarick is finally here!

“Thoren, take me to where they saw it!” Twilight exclaimed as she strode out of the palace keep at a hurried pace.

Thoren rushing to catch up, The matriarch has no business being this spry as ancient as she is! Thoren complained internally as he struggled to keep up.

“Matriarch please! It will take days on foot!” he now complained openly while leaving the city’s entrance gate.

Twilight turned to her young descendant and smirked, “Dear Thoren, you are going to have a chance that few of the family actually get to experience. Do not be scared, I will reveal my true form to you.”

“True form?” he asked and blinked in confusion, Twilight smile at him patiently again before walking ahead of him.

“You’ll see, just stay there and watch,” Twilight replied over her shoulder.

Her form shifted seamlessly into a large lavender dragoness, dwarfing the forest. When she was finished she laid down and smirked at Thoren’s gaping expression.

“That’s right kiddo, you’re descended from a dragoness,”

“B-b-but why haven’t I got scales, or horns, or something? I don’t understand what’s going on!?”

Twilight’s smile morphed into one that was more gentle, “Thoren, you must understand that my blood has been diluted over the centuries. I rarely take new mates and when I do, my kids either move on with a lust for adventure or set up their own lairs. Especially the more draconic amongst my brood. The ones who stayed with me had the lowest draconic features and abilities. You’re still more powerful than normal elves and humans.”

“Now enough with the idle chatter young one, climb onto my claw and direct me to the tomb,”

“Okay, matriarch,” Thoren muttered his reply, climbing into her open claw.

Twilight took off, knocking leaves of the trees and kicking up dirt.

After some time spent in flight they were flying over Carne village and noticed a line of angels and a single black robed magic caster with a female black knight.

Twilight roared, “They dare attack my friend!” Her angered roar and her sudden shift from her usual easygoing and peaceful attitude startled Thoren.

Momonga had met with the Sunlight scripture, and was exchanging pleasantries when two angels impaled him. He was about to make a snarky response regarding their failure to harm him, but he was cut off by a roar of a dragon.

If he had eyes they’d be widening in shock and fear, A dragon here! The leader of the Sunlight scripture looks just as surprised, so this isn’t his doing!

“How dare you attack my friend! You must pay!” she shouted as she made a fly-over, leaving a trail of lavender fire and a fiery death.

Momonga raised a metaphorical eyebrow as the dragoness finally landed, her scales were a dark lavender, that including her rather unique firebreath marked her as Twilight.

“Twilight!? Get your scaly butt over here! Do you know how worried I was?!” Momonga chided her as the dragoness huffed.

“As if I had a choice in the matter! And why are you wearing that dumb event mask?” Twilight retorted with a huff.

“You may be allies with The Twilight Dragon lord! But that won't save you! Principality Observation attack!” Nigun interrupted boastfully, the angel conjuring a mace with a glowing white light in the center of the mace’s head, the angel’s eye flickered red and then floated over to Momonga and then drew it back and brought it forward with all its strength,

Momonga caught it with his left hand, “My, My, I guess I should fight back.” Momonga lifted his right hand pointing a finger at the angel, “Hell Flame!” a small flame slowly approached the angel, and as it hit the angel was engulfed in black and red flames, who was disintegrating under the onslaught of fire.

“One hit? That’s impossible! There’s no way a high level angel could be destroyed in one spell!” Nigun recoiled in shock.

“Captain Nigun, what should we do?” one of the sunlight members nearest to him asked, desperation for guidance, for some semblance of order, in his voice.

Nigun smirked as he put his hand into his coat and pulled out a sealing crystal, “We will summon the highest level angel!”

That’s … based on how it’s glowing, a sealing crystal that can seal any magic other than the highest tier spells. So they even have Yggdrasil items. “Albedo, Twilight, use your skills to protect me,”
Albedo spun her axe it a ready stance standing in front of Ainz and Twilight curled around both of them.

“Look, the shining form of the highest of angels!” Nigun declared holding up the sealing crystal gleefully, “Dominion Authority!”

A huge robed angel with metallic wings with blue gems set into them, below that another three pairs of normal wings down its back. It had a long curved head with a magic seal in front of it. The angel floated, giving off feathers and light. It held a long staff in its hands with a golden hollow heart shaped as the staff’s head.

Nigun’s men were crying out in awe of the creature.

“This angel is your strongest trump card?” Momonga asked in shock,

“That’s right. I have determined that you are worthy enough to use this item.”

“I’m speechless,” Momonga replied while bringing his right hand to his face. Meanwhile Twilight was trying to contain her amusement at the scene before her.

“Are you afraid? It cannot be helped.” Nigun taunted.

“This is stupid.” Momonga said in a deadpan tone of voice, while Twilight finally lost control and burst out laughing.

“My sides, My sides hurt! Oh stop!” Twilight cried out between laughs.

“What!?” Nigun shouted, sounding angry and not a little insulted.

“I was on guard against such child’s play?” Momonga asked rhetorically.

“Child’s play? What are you saying?” Nigun gulped down the saliva that had been building in his mouth.

“I-it can’t be! No, it’s impossible! In front of an existence that mankind can’t defeat … you’re bluffing!” Nigun shouted angrily

“Wow, how conceited can you get?” Twilight asked, shaking her head.

Nigun looked up to the angel and shouted, “use Holy Smite!”

The angel’s staff broke into chunks as they started glowing golden and surrounded the angel in a ring. A column of light and dark engulfed Ainz.

Ainz began chuckling, “Yes! This is pain! So this is what it's like to take damage?” Ainz asked rhetorically.

“You lower lifeforms! How dare you cause pain to the one I love!” Albedo screeched loudly. Twilight for her part looked at Ainz,

“Calm down!” Ainz order Albedo.

“But Ainz-sama, they should be punished!” Albedo protested.

“Really? You know Tabula is going to be pissed if he finds out what you did,” Twilight remarked tersely to Ainz

“What he doesn't know won't hurt him,” Ainz replied with a stage whisper.

Ainz chose to distract everyone by lifting his right hand and called, “Black Hole”. A small singularity appeared at the center of the angel causing its body to warp and undulate before being sucked into it and destroyed. Ainz lowered his hand.

“What kind of a monster of a man are you!?” Nigun cried out in despair.

“Oh I am more monster than man,” Ainz responded cooly, removing his mask.

“Wait, wait, wait, surely you can take my men just and let me live lord Ainz Ooal Gown, no your Majesty. I can reward you!” Nigun begged

“Lower lifeforms should bow their head and happily wait for the supreme beings to take their life,” Albedo gleefully explained

“Lower lifeforms?” Nigun whispered in fear.

“I remember what you said, give your lives without resistance and I’ll give you a quick death,” Ainz replied with a smirk.

“Albedo, do with them as you please.”

Albedo began to laugh psychotically.

Twilight returned to her elven form and walked up to Ainz, Thoren shyly followed behind her.

“It has been too long my friend.” Twilight smiled forlornly.

“But we only just got here a couple of days ago?” Ainz replied, appearing to be confused.

Twilight sighed. “For you maybe, but I was sent back five hundred years ago and have been living here for that long. I was waiting for your arrival so that I can finally bid you farewell. Granted most of that time was taken up with research, matters of diplomacy and raising my family,” Twilight stated solemnly.

“Farewell!?” Ainz replied shocked.

“Ainz, my friend, I was never originally from Japan. I was from another world. Then I got trapped here, not that I am complaining. During that time I didn't just sleep, I researched a way to return to my original home world, which took a good few centuries due to the resources of this place lacking in the respect to space-time manipulation,” Twilight explained. Ainz frowned, and was about to respond, but Twilight raised her hand to silence him.

“I am sorry, I was unable to find a way back to Japan. I would have returned you and lived there, if I could.” Twilight bowed her head apologetically before motioning toward Thoren, “This is Thoren, my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson,” Thoren bowed his head respectfully before raising his head up. “Thoren, you are next in line to succeed me.”

“Wait, you’re going to leave us, your family behind … ?”

Twilight glared at him, silencing him. “No, I am not abandoning you, I have set up many contingency plans. One of which pertains to my family is this token and the many back home. I can use them to return here. Once I find my home world, I will return and take you with me, along with anyone else who wish to join you and I, of course, and this is why, Thoren, that you must send out messengers to locate the rest of our family before that happens. Until then you are to help my friend, Ainz.” Twilight explained handing him the token. “Ainz, please take care of my family until I return, you and the rest of Nazarick are welcome to accompany me and my family in my homeworld. And here are all the important information and spells I created while living here,” Twilight explained, handing over a stack of books she had removed from her inventory and handing it to him.

“Just how big is your family, Twilight?”

She smiled patiently, but also there was a sparkle of mirth in her eyes.

“As of the last census? Forty wives, two hundred children, four hundred grandchildren, eight hundred great grandchildren, one thousand great great grandchildren and two thousand great great great grandchildren.” Twilight listed off smugly. “I will see you when I get back. Ainz is like a brother to me, Thoren, so treat Uncle Ainz well. Oh! Before I go,” Twilight pulled out a few heavy bags of coin. “Here you go, Ainz. This is this world's currency to help you purchase whatever goods or services you may require.”

“How did you procure so much wealth?” Ainz asked curiously.

Twilight turned to him and gave him a deadpan stare. “I am a dragoness, I'd certainly be a pathetic dragon if I procure and protect a hoard of my own. I know a spell that can locate gems, which certainly helped, and before you ask the aforementioned spell is in those books.”

Ainz chuckled at Twilight’s concluding remark. Twilight knows me well, he thought.

“Farewell my friends. My family,” Twilight said as she opened a portal to her homeworld.

“Wait, so you’re just going to abandon Nazerick?” Ainz asked, his tone tinged with anger.

Twilight turned and flicked his non-existent nose,

“Abandonment implies that I am not coming back, just think of this as a long solo quest chain. I have provided you with the rewards of my time here. Oh, and a warning, the Slane theocracy was founded by twelve players from Yggdrasil and before that the greed kings, who were also Yggdrasil players existed. Our friends haven’t surfaced yet, that much I can tell you. If you find yourself in an emergency find one of my family’s tokens and contact me and I’ll come running. Be aware though that due to the time differences between each world, it might take awhile for me to respond,” Twilight elaborated.

Ainz grunted, “I guess I'm not being fair, you’ve waited five centuries for us to show up, and even provided resources and books of information.”

“Oh wait! I almost forgot, I thought you might be sad about the one bone you're currently missing, so I created a spell that uses your soul as a blueprint to create a temporary flesh and blood body.” Twilight handed over a mahogany scroll case to Ainz, “I am sure Albedo will appreciate it.” Twilight smirked and hopped through her portal.
