The group settled down as the words ‘The Will of the Elements: Guardians of the Aura’ appeared on the screen, with a smaller ‘Season 1’ right below it. “How many seasons were made?” Shining Armor asked curiously.

“It isn’t finished yet.” Luna answered, the screen showing all the involved with the creation of the series, including the thestral’s guild. “It’ll only end when me and Spike successfully returns to Equestria, which only happened today. We’ll send them a brief summary of what happened to them later so they can finish it.”

“It already has a few, though.” Spike looked down on the controller. “It’s almost finished even, so you don’t need to preoccupy yourself with needing to wait for it. It’ll probably be over by the time we catch up.” Both he and Celestia nodded in understanding. (1) The screen changed, showing the episode’s title.

New Arrivals

Before anyone could chime in a comment, the voice of a girl spoke up. “Welcome to Era! I hope you left your sanity, dignity and maybe morals by the door! You won’t need them anymore.” As soon as the voice went silent the screen changed.

“God damn it, Amate.” Spike and Luna sighed in unison. Then they blinked, turned to each other and laughed. “Damn, that actually brings back memories.” He grinned and she nodded. Both of them ignored their friend’s inquisitive stares as the show started.

It was a beautiful day in Evergrow City, one of the two towns inside Evergrow Forest, but the only where the houses were actually built on the trees themselves, with many rope bridges connecting each platform, teleporters for the ground level where the commerce was situated. People walked to and fro, some using their wings for quick transportation or even teleporting about, birds flew through the trees, kids played around, a fox jumped out of a window, merchants shouted out their sales…

Wait a second.

The vixen twirled through the air, rightening herself as she fell so she hit the ground on her paws, putting a hand on the floor and bending a knee to absorb the impact while she maintained her other leg straight parallel to the ground. She maintained her head down for a second before looking up with a grin and shooting off forwards to the edge of the town, where the wards were located to protect the little town from the ferals that lived in the forest itself.

She weaved around the crowd with grace in her movements, almost as if the obstacles weren’t even in her path and she just did the movements for the fun of it. Soon enough she jumped from the ground and kicked off one of the trees, going higher than she normally could and grabbing a low branch with her hands, using it to swing herself higher towards another branch. Jumping out of it to another, or using the trees as platforms to reach the ones she couldn’t normally, she quickly reached the top of one of the trees, where she stopped for a few seconds to locate the direction she wanted to go towards.

“Let’s see, I’ve already explored North, Northeast, East, South, Southwest and West…” She mumbled. Pausing for a moment, the kitsune waved her five tails behind her in indecision before settling in a direction. “Northwest it is.” She grinned and jumped off her perch, falling towards the ground.

At the last moment, she grabbed a branch and changed her trajectory so she would hit the ground at a non-lethal angle – which ended up being nearly parallel to it, she was falling that fast – and she prepared to make contact with it using both her paws, which were glowing a soft blue. “Winter Dance: Skate Slide!” The moment she impacted it the ground under her froze, giving her a nice slide to rocket through the streets. This time she actually had to put an effort in dodging people, since she wasn’t used to movement at that speed while matter surfing on her ice.

Quickly finding a blockade of people she couldn’t move around, she cupped her hands in front of her mouth. “Give me a ramp, quick!” She shouted. In the crowd a lynx blinked in surprise before grinning, stomping at the ground under him. A block or earth higher than the crowd rose from the ground under him, lifting him upwards as he manipulated the earth towards the approaching fox to make a nice ramp for her. She grinned, raising a hand to slap against his when she used the lift to rocket towards the sky. “Thanks!” The lynx chuckled and rightened the earth while the others around him looked at him and the flying fox in amusement.

The kitsune observed that she was already reaching the ward barrier around the city, so she nodded to herself and disappeared in a flash of light, reappearing at the floor and sliding again to the edge of town. She closed a fist and the air in front of her started to put more of a resistance than normal, slowly making her go slower and slower until she safely cancelled her Skate Slide to walk to the wilderness just as she crossed the ward barrier.

She chuckled. “Nailed it.”

The forest was normally peaceful, aside from the normal animal noises here and there and the occasional ferals fighting for territory. In that particularly day peace was thoroughly shattered by a space-time anomaly opening in the middle of it, growing and growing until it exploded, sending two bodies flying to opposite directions. The blue blur flew through the air and slammed back-first to a tree, making her gasp in pain and fall to the ground face down.

Groaning, she pushed herself upwards to her hooves, where she looked around in confusion, wondering just what happened to her. Hearing a muffled groan of pain, she turned to the source. “Spike?” She asked, slowly walking towards it. Turns out she was right, as a purple dragon was also fallen on the floor, in a much more uncomfortable position, as he had hit the ground first and bounced/slid off on it until he impacted a tree face-first and just… kept in that position, face smashed and body completely locked up in pain.

Tried as she did, Luna couldn’t stop the amused snort she released. “You alright, dragon boy?” She asked, walking up to him.

“Just peachy.” He growled, the sound muffled by the fact he still had his face against the tree. Pushing himself off the wood and the floor, he stood up at almost the same height as Luna and looked around. “Where are we?”

“No idea.” Luna sighed. “Do you remember the specifics of the spell?” She asked, joining him in scanning the surroundings.

“I know about the same you do. Rune circle, dimensional gateway, the works.” Spike shook his head. “Looks like Twilight fucked up the spell. Again. Monumentally.” (2) He quipped before freezing, looking behind the mare. It seemed the wildlife finally got enough courage to investigate the anomaly, since a beast was stealthily getting near the duo. At Spike’s guarded stance and Luna quickly turning around to see the beast and also ready herself, it growled in anger at being spotted and rose to full height, revealing a manticore.

Luna narrowed her eyes and prepared to scare it off with a show of power, but after a second of feeling nothing she did a sharp intake of breath. “Spike.”

“I know.” He gritted his teeth, flexing one of his claws but no flames came forth. He beat his wings once, and while he felt the air resistance he couldn’t lift himself off the ground. Luna did the same, with the same results. “No magic.” The manticore seemed to figure that out as well, as it picked up its pace towards the duo. “Let’s run?”

“Yeah.” Luna agreed reluctantly, taking a step back. The predator took that as a sign to advance, rushing the duo much faster than both expected and giving them barely a moment to avoid the pounce and get the hell out of dodge. Unfortunately for them, manticores are notorious predators, and with both of them magicless and in an unknown area it wasn’t hard for it to reach them again.

Spike roared in pain as the manticore bull-rushed him through a tree, this one smaller than some of the behemoths in the forest, the wood snapping like a twig under the impact and knocking the dragon for a loop. “Spike!” Luna cried out at the sight of friend being attacked and ran towards the beast. Her cry alerted the beast, however, and it lashed out with its scorpion tail at her, but with Luna being an experience fighter she ducked under it and punched the beast on the side, sending it skidding about two meters away from the dragon. “Damn, so even my strength is gone, that should’ve sent it flying for at least ten meters…”

Taking advantage of her frustration and the close distance, the manticore pounced on the alicorn and pinned her to the ground. It opened its maw and threw his head downwards to bite her neck, but Luna quickly put a hand in its nose and mandible and pushed it away while trying to force it to close, except that with her weakened strength she couldn’t hold it off forever. Spike fortunately chose that moment to regain his senses and jumped to his feet, sending his fist flying towards the occupied feline. “Get away from her!” It could only turn his eyes to him before the fist made contact, sending the manticore staggering backwards. Spike clasped Luna’s arm and pulled her up. “We need to get away, now.” Luna nodded in agreement and they both took off running again.

The manticore, frustrated that its prey kept getting away from it, growled in anger. It lifted one of its paws higher than its head, coating the claws in a luminous energy before bringing it down with a roar, sending four blades of light flying through the air to the pair with the downwards swipe. Luna turned her head around, gasped and tackled Spike away from the spell just as it passed through the spot they were previously at, missing them by a hair. Now with its prey on the ground the manticore ran forwards and pounced them before they could even think of running away- “Denied!” -just to be hit in mid-air by a jump-kicking kitsune and being sent away from its path and into a tree, while the kitsune herself used his body to bounce to a nearby tree, which she used to quickly change directions towards the stunned duo, falling to the ground in a roll and grabbing both by their nearest body parts- “Luminescence: Party Blink!” –so she could teleport all three of them away.

The trio reappeared on top of the high branches directly above the manticore. “Well, we should be safe for now.” The fox panted in exhaustion from the multi-teleport. “Just keep silent and he won’t notice us for a while.”

Luna and Spike both adjusted themselves on their branches as to not fall and turned to their savior. “Thanks for that…” He trailed off, taking in the figure that saved them. “Well, it’s official. We’re not in Equestria anymore.”

The fox had a fluffy white coat over all of her body, like the ones arctic foxes have, but instead of a single tail she had five waving behind her, making her a kitsune. Both her long-ish hair and tails were also white, but gradually changed colors until it ended in a shade of pink at the tips, which Spike thought it was around bubblegum pink, while her eyes were fuchsia. She was wearing a simple blue jeans and a pink blouse that stopped just below her C-cup bust. She raised an eyebrow. “Equestria, huh? Never heard of it.” She sat on her branch and swung her legs under it. “You guys probably fell through the multiverse somehow and ended up here. Not the first time that happened, but it’s certainly rare. Last time was… what, sixty years ago?” She furrowed her eyebrows for a second before shaking her head. “Later. Right now, let’s figure out how to fight that manticore.”

Spike mouthed ‘Multiverse?’ while Luna frowned. “Wait a minute, uh… What’s your name?”

The kitsune looked at her and grinned widely, pointing to herself with a thumb. “My name is Faerie Tail, but everyone calls me Amaterasu!”

Straightening himself Spike smiled. “I’m Emerald Sparkle, but everyone calls me Spike.”

“And I’m Lunarian Astros. Call me Luna.” The alicorn nodded.

Amaterasu nodded before tilting her head. “You were saying?”

“Oh, right.” She cleared her throat. “What do you mean by fight it? Why don’t we just flee?”

“Four reasons. One, I can escape easily because of my experience with free running and my teleporting. You can’t. Especially because your magic is being suppressed by my world’s own magic field. I noticed how you haven’t tried to fly yet.” Both Spike and Luna grimaced but nodded. “Two, I can’t take you with me. Just teleporting you this small distance put a huge strain on me and I don’t think I can even manage this distance again at the moment. Three, I can’t keep the manticore occupied by myself so you can flee, I’m just not that strong yet, and if I distract him by let him chase me I’ll be too tired to lose him in the end. Four, manticores are Determinators by nature, he won’t give up on us that soon so we can’t just wait for him to get bored, especially since as soon as he whiff us he’ll give chase.”

Spike raised an eyebrow. “Why didn’t you teleport us away so we could flee then? Wouldn’t that be easier?”

“Manticores track by scent and noise.” She pointed out. “Scent spreads horizontally faster than upwards or downwards, so it would sniff us instantly if we were at ground level, not to mention that we running away would cause enough noise for him to zero on us. I could call my siblings, but both of them are busy and the other and most of the family are in another town altogether.” She shook her head, looking down on the beast. “No, in situations like this we need to either knock out or kill the predator, hurt him enough so he won’t chase us, or scare him off. When dealing with manticores the latter two are unlikely since, again, Panthera Awesome Determinator.” The trio was interrupted by a roar from below, and Spike and Luna followed Amaterasu in looking down to see the manticore glaring at them, spreading his wings. “Break’s over, buddies. Time to fight.” Amaterasu stated with a smirk, pulling a dagger from behind her, which had a fox-themed hilt with the head serving as a pommel and the tail as a guard, while the blade was a myriad of colors blue, green and purple, resembling an aurora borealis.

The kitsune eye him as he prepared his claws for another flying slash. “Right now I’m the only one here who can cause him enough damage, so…” He roared as he attacked. “Distract him.” She gripped the dagger tightly and slashed with it as well, sending her own flying slash, an air one contrary to the light ones coming at them. The blades impacted each other, dispersing the air and the two middle light ones and alternating the trajectory for the remaining so it wouldn’t hit the tree they were standing on. The manticore looked up to try and spot his prey, but what he found was a ballistic fox falling directly on top of it paws first, and a gale of wind turned visible by aura following behind her. “Vulpine Tempest: Skyfall!”

She hit like a meteor, and the gale like a comet, pressing his face roughly against the ground before jumping away, just in time as his tail lashed forwards to pierce her. “Not so fast, bud!” She spun on a paw and slid the other around her, and the moment she did a wave of snow burst forth from ground between her and the feline that covered his head entirely, making him step back with a startled roar. When his vision cleared, Amaterasu was nowhere to be found.

Suddenly he felt a cold impact on the back of his head and whirled around to face the direction it came from, spotting the fox there grinning at him while playing with another snowball she had in her hands. “S’up?” She jumped to the side to avoid a set of flying slashes and sent her own gust of wind at him, but it didn’t do much besides make him flinch. The lack of effect made her frown, but at least gave her time to freeze the ground under her and put more distance between her and the now approaching beast.

The moment he passed over the patch of ice Amaterasu threw her hands upwards and more ice sprouted from it and hit the beast from below, but it wasn’t enough to pierce through his defenses and only unbalanced him. The kitsune clicked her tongue. “And that’s why manticores are considered veteran level monsters, a unranked like me can’t even put a scratch on him.” She grumbled under her breath. She fell on her battle stance as it rose back to its paws, but he couldn’t walk three steps before two fists impacted his face one from each side.

“Couldn’t you have helped us down first?” Spike asked in annoyance, shaking his hand as he and Luna jumped away from the dazed feline.

She stuck her tongue out. “And be still for five seconds while there's a manticore waiting to take a bite out of my ass the unpleasant way? No, thank you.”

They turned their attention to their opponent. “Your magic is impressive, but I don’t see it working.” Luna commented.

“I’ve only had it for a few months, so while my control is ok, I lack the power.” Amaterasu sighed. “And the one I actually have power in, he’s resistant to. We’re both Light manipulators after all.”

“So your light is useless, and your ice and… wind? I guess? Don’t have the impact to do actual damage.” Spike summarized.

The manticore focused back on them and started to circle around the small clearing they were in, the trio following his movements. “I still have one more element to test, but I’m haven’t trained too much with it.” She said, summoning a golden flame that started to dance around her hand. “I’m focusing on controlling my Light for now, but I can train the others a bit while going around, like using my Ice to skate around and my Air to move things around, but I don’t have many opportunities to use my- Luminescence: Gleam Pulse!” The beast chose that moment to rush them, hoping that the sudden movement would catch them off-guard again, but the light blast from the vulpine destroyed that hope as he was thrown back. “Let’s go!”

Reversing the previous situation, the trio rushed the manticore, Spike and Luna leading as both needed to be close up to do anything, while Amaterasu followed close behind to provide cover if necessary. Spike put more speed on his run and reached the feline first, slugging him across the face with a heavy punch and ducking under his returning swipe, lashing with his tail to strike under his chin, lifting the beast’s head up.

Luna took that opening by rushing in and delivering a powerful uppercut, so powerful that it actually lifted the feline off the floor for a few seconds, long enough for Amaterasu to approach it and get a clear shot to the beast’s stomach. “Starfire!” She lit up her golden flames on each hand before putting them together and firing a wave of fire at the airborne animal, sending him hurtling through the air before it crashed on the ground.

Luna stared at the flames. Now that Amaterasu was using enough of them, she could swear that it was… no, it couldn’t be. She was brought out of her mind by Spike’s voice. “Finally going all out?” He grinned.

“Yeah, since I don’t have my earth pony strength anymore I don’t need to worry about exploding him to pieces with a punch.” She smirked. She turned to the fox in front of them, who had her full attention on the limping manticore. “And you, didn’t you say you were inexperienced with your fire?”

She didn’t turn to face her, but still replied. “Pointing and firing isn’t exactly rocket science, and it looked more impressive than it actually was. Too spread, not hot enough and things like that.” She grinned. “Not that it matters anyways, since it’s his weakness.” Before they could inquire, she jumped back and lowered herself, clutching her dagger in a reverse grip on her right hand and having her left hand open facing the ground. “Give me a few seconds to prepare, I can finish this with a single hit now that I know what to do. Probably going to overshoot but whatever, desperate times call for desperate measures. Go for the head, keep him dazed!” They nodded and rushed at the harmed predator.

Like before, Spike went first with a punch, but this time the manticore dodged it and lashed with his tail, which the drake dodged as well by ducking under it, but that left him in the position for a claw strike, had not been Luna jumping in and kick him away, following him and delivering a powerful downwards punch that made his head bounce off the floor, then took the chance to kick him upwards, lifting him to his rear paws for Spike to come and punch him in the gut to send him rolling.

Amaterasu grinned as she concentrated more of her energy to the sphere under her left hand. Between the two of them, the manticore would be confused and wouldn’t know who to keep his eye on. They were lucky that the manticore was a young one, since it only had one elemental trick and couldn’t keep his attention in both of them at the same time successfully, and since neither of them had an aura yet they couldn’t be detected by an aura sensing ability, if the feline even had one. She grunted in exhaustion of having to concentrate her magic so much, but held on and shouted at them. “Give me an opening, I’ll be coming from above!” She looked down at the sphere by her hand and aimed it to an angle behind her and let a little bit of energy escape, causing an explosion that sent her flying upwards and forwards towards the manticore.

Luna and Spike heard her and ran towards the already staggered beast. They sent each other a look and nodded, jumping to the air and falling into a slide, like in a baseball game. The moment they reached under the beast’s head, they slammed their feet down on the ground to go back into a crouching position and unleashed a powerful double uppercut. “Rising Star!” “Scale Breaker!” The predator’s head snapped up in a fraction of a second and his body soon followed, leaving the ground and flipping to fall on his back, so dazed that he wasn’t even able to rationalize that the world was currently upside down.

By that time the explosion had already occurred and caught Spike and Luna’s attention, the pair turning to see the flying kitsune above them. In the air, Amaterasu aimed her orb and let it explode again just as she was about to pass over the predator, changing her course so that she was rocketing towards him. As she fell, she manipulated her blazes so that they traveled from her hand to her dagger, coating the blade in fire and extending by about ten centimeters. When she finished it, she was already very close to the manticore, so brought the blade above her head, ready for a wide slash. “Starfire…” She whispered while releasing the flames from her grip and letting it explode from the tip of her blade with a roar the she soon mimicked. “SUNBLAZE SEVER!” Using the rushing flames as propulsion, she swept her blade in an downwards arc and let fly an enormous blade of solar fire, of which reached the fallen feline in a second, cutting through it from head to tail along with the ground under it, but the only clue that that was what happened was the fissure under it, while the beast seemed unaffected.

Amaterasu was still falling down on top of it, however, and used her momentum from the slash to flip forwards twice and bring down her paw right on top of the cut, the powerful strike finally breaking all the resistance the beast’s aura still had and separating both halves from each other, giving path for the fox to hit the ground while they were sent skidding to the sides, unleashing a torrent of blood that hit Amaterasu from both sides and left her drenched.

Silence fell on the area, Amaterasu still kneeling as she had to absorb the impact of her fall as her dagger’s blade dripped on the floor along with the beast's blood, the fire too strong and wild for a novice blade to handle, while Spike and Luna stood to the sides staring at the carnage in disbelief. ‘T-That was…’ Spike gulped as he stared in awe.

‘Sun fire…’ Luna thought as her mouth open and closed uselessly. ‘B-But how?!’

Amaterasu finally stood up, stumbling for a moment as exhaustion started to kick in but rightened herself and turned to face the stranded duo. “Well, I guess this is a bit late but whatever.” She cleared her throat, receiving their attention, and grinned. “Welcome to Era! I hope you left your sanity, dignity and maybe morals by the door! You won’t need them anymore.”

The other two looked at each other. ‘Damn it, Twilight, what did you get us into?!’

The screen faded to black for a moment before the credits started, and Spike and Luna smiled. “It’s weird seeing how we were back then, after everything that happened.” He commented while giving the group behind them time to process what the hell did they just watch.

“Yeah.” Luna sighed.

“Totally.” Amaterasu nodded from where she was sitting on Spike’s lap.

“WHERE THE HECK DID YOU COME FROM?!” Rainbow, Pinkie, Scootaloo and Ember screamed at the kitsune.

She took a bite from the cupcake Spike was about to eat, nonchalantly chewing on it before swallowing and turning to face them. “So there was this coyote and this kitsune who loved each other very much…” “NOT THAT!” Amaterasu snickered and licked the frosting on her lips. “Alright, long story short? I’m a very sneaky sneaky fox. The wards around here were child’s play to get around compared to my sister’s.”

“She’s been here since the manticore first appeared, I’m surprised you hadn’t noticed her, especially when she appeared to save us and things calmed down a little.” Luna said in amusement.

“Honestly, they were so enthralled by it that I wasn’t even the only one to sneak in.” Amate rolled her eyes and nodded to the food table, where a draconequus was forming a tower with one of each kind of food there were in there on top of a slice of bread before putting a second one on top of it all. The vulpine woman grinned widely. “So that’s Discord? Seeing him in person only makes me like him more.”

“Keep your panties on for at least a few more hours? I want to get through at least the Displaced Pair arc today.” Spike said, poking her in the muzzle.

She pouted. “You’re no fun. Speaking of my arrival, the others were called for a mission, so they might be occupied until tomorrow. Then again, it’s related to the Darkness Lord and their realm, so Alpha might take longer, Amethyst will probably go with him and maybe Umbral too. I managed to talk them into letting me come here as an ambassador-” “Oh, God no.” “Why would they do that?!” Amaterasu just nodded at the formerly displaced duo. “That was the general reaction, yes.” She shrugged. “Then again they might have forgotten about the whole series thing, so I’m here just to meet the people from here and make connections instead of trying for a good first impression, really.”

“Yes, yes, nice to meet you, darling, but I’d like to ask why you hadn’t warned us this would be so… violent?” Rarity inquired with a hand over the trembling Sweetie Belle’s shoulder while her friends tried to calm her down.

“I thought my sword was proof enough that that place is violent as hell?” was the drake’s honestly confused reply. “Seriously, if it was just for show I’d let Scootaloo play with it and that did not sound right.” He groaned.

Amaterasu stared at the little girl for a moment and waved her hand, light emanating from it and coalescing into a single sphere that soon morphed into a small light fox. The little construct hurried to the unicorn’s lap, poking her stomach with its nose. Sweetie Belle looked at it for a second before embracing it, her trembling slowly diminishing. “That’s what I meant, the first impression was already shot to hell. Your dimension is very peaceful, isn’t it? That’s good and bad in my opinion.” She sighed, looking down. “Good because that means less people being hurt or dying, bad because people get alienated, and the moment something bad actually happens, they freeze up. My dimension is not a kind one, so to me that’s kind of… pathetic? Refreshing? I don’t know which one.” She shook her head and looked up at the trio. “How old are you three anyways?”

“I’m sixteen, they’re seventeen.” Scootaloo answered, looking at the construct being crushed by her friend in curiosity.

“Really? Wow, I wasn’t even a virgin at that age anymore.” She mused.

“I believe that was too much information.” Cadance spoke up. The kitsune’s smile made her realize that the vulpine was very aware of that fact and very amused by it.

“Ohoho, aren’t you a blunt one.” Discord remarked as his head appeared from her bust. He smirked when her only reaction was to snicker. “Hah, always wanted to do this, but the mares here either aren’t big enough or would take my head for it. Or both.” He suddenly blinked when he wasn’t manipulating reality anymore, and instead was standing a few feet from the group, with the kitsune hugging his arm between her breasts.

Now that she was standing up they could see more of her body. She still had the same white and pink coloration she had on the show, but her clothes were very different. She was using a pair of grey jeans that were ripped on her knees, and what looked like a silver chain being used as a belt. She also wore a black denim short jacket, that ended just under her bust and the sleeves only barely got to her elbows, but the most curious part was that the entire front of the jacket was missing, only a strap connecting under her bust and around her neck. Holding her impressive DD bust was an X-shaped bikini top, black and pink straps of fabric that went around her body and connected on a silver heart-shaped clasp on her chest. She wore black fingerless gloves, and a black dog collar tightly secured around her neck, a green flame tag dangling from the ring. Unlike her friends, however, they couldn’t see any obvious signs of weapons.

In short, she looked like a succubus went furry. (3)

“Well, I’m blunt mostly when sexuality is involved.” She purred, running a finger down his arm. “In fact, I heard a lot about you and your-” Before she could go any further, a green translucent chain attached itself to the ring of her collar and yanked her away from the stunned draconequus and into a kneeling position besides Spike. Before she could protest she felt a sudden wave of fear wash over her, and held her tongue.

“I. Said. Later.” He growled lowly enough that only she – and Luna, but that’s because she’s a thestral – could hear. “Now you’re going to shut up, sit down, and watch the show like a good girl, you hear me?” She hastily nodded, but Spike waited a bit so he could be sure that she was truthful before releasing the grips he currently had on her.

Luna yawned and swiped the control from him before he could do so. “Everyone in favor of starting the second episode before they actually start fucking say ‘Aye’.”

“AYE!” “Nay!” Crash!

Luna just ignored the annoyed dragon and the kitsune who had her head currently inside a crater on the floor and pressed next on the controller.

Author's Note

Spike received a title: The Displaced! (-5 in all General Knowledge rolls)
Luna received a title: The Displaced! (-5 in all General Knowledge rolls)
Luna received a title: The Broken Link! (???)
Amaterasu received a title: The Rescuer! (+1 to all ally saving rolls)

Amaterasu lost (1) Dagger of the Boreal Fox!
Amaterasu acquired (1) Manticore Tail!

(1) Honestly, I haven’t finished the draft of the timeline yet, so I can’t say for sure how many “seasons” this will have (each season change after major quests and time-skips, so expect at least three) but I already have most of the important events planned out but not written down. The first “season” will have three arcs (if you count the first as a full arc) and I already have the first two written down to detail with the third about halfway through.

(2) Twilight tried to oppose that claim, but every time she opened her mouth someone sent her a look that showed they already had at least ten examples of cases where her magic put them in a tough spot, so she just huffed in annoyance and sunk lower on her seat.

(3) Well, there's another species in this scenario that would be more fitting but eh, you got the joke by now.

Well, the next chapter is finally the story in the other world! At least that'll be easier to write, since I already have an idea of how that'll play out. See you then.

DAMN THIS TOOK SO LONG. Frankly, what the fuck, I used to write way faster than this. At least it's better than before, and slightly less Fairy-centric... or Amaterasu-centric now?

Only slightly for now, however. Gotta do character introduction and contrast and all that shit that I'm not good at yet. Like I said above, this season will take a while to complete, and I need to calculate many chapters it'll actually take to complete the second arc so the third might end up having less chapters... why do I keep trying to write epic-lenght stories instead of short ones or even one-shots again?

Oh yeah, I'm a fucking idiot.

Now that we're clear about that, this is Aguion12, signing off!
