Chapter one arrival
Third person POV

The convention was alive with activities as cosplayers of all kinds swarm over booths and stalls to find and buy items or gismos to complete their outfits.

One of these people was cosplaying as a grey warden a order of great warriors who sacrificed everything to stop darkness from consuming their world.

The man in question is named Kai Black a young man at nineteen years old with red hair and with eyes as blue as the ocean , Kai was here to help his parents with their stall this year, though he was given permission to search for some items to complete the look of his outfit. The first was a sword no real one but one made for show and the like, the second one was an amulet called “warden’s oath” a pendent given to all new grey wardens after their initiation rites and a reminder of those who could not pass.

The outfit in question was a blue shirt like what the wardens wear during DA inquisition with plastic armour pieces attached to the shirt via leather straps, there was also some black pants with more plastic armour on the outer thighs and lastly the helmet was made of cardboard with a horizontal slit cut into it to make room for the eyes to see. All of these were painted in their appropriate colours.

Kai spent quite some time before he finally found a booth which looked like it could house dragon age items. However before he could move another step a security guard grabbed him by the shoulder, turned Kai around to face him and said “I wouldn’t go to him if I were you son” confused Kai replied “Why? he doesn’t some dangerous and he sells quite the collection” The guard looks over Kai’s shoulder to the merchant in question.

Indeed he doesn’t seem out of place in a convention like today with his stall having nothing suspicious and even the man himself doesn’t look anything other then a normal merchant selling things but still.

“People have been disappearing lately and last anyone saw them is buying something from a stall or booth and then a bright light then nothing not even footprints or anything like that” as the security guard spoke he looked really uncomfortable even just talking about it though Kai thought it was stress talking so he said “Maybe it’s the weather or something but you seem stressed out and I can’t say I blame you and even if what your saying it true don’t you think someone would have done an investigation or something?”

The guard having removed his hand replied “ Fine disappear not like I was trying to stop you or anything” and with that he walked away.

“well that was odd, it must be the stress for if someone really is making people disappear the government or so organisation would be looking into the matter”Kai thought as he finally arrived at the merchant’s booth.

The booth itself was packed with dragon age items like toys, books, costumes and a few games here and there and finally the table was covered in a black sheet with the dragon age logo on it.

As for the merchant, he wore a warden outfit much like Kai’s but more fitting a mage then a warrior with a hood and less armour then he has and was well polished.

Clearing his throat to get his attention Kai said in a gentleman like voice “Hello good sir! Mind if I see your wears?” The merchant simply nods whilst checking his stock of goods.

“Must be shy or not one for conversation anyway, I guess I could relate as I have a friend who has trouble with others.” Kai thought as he began looking for the two items that will complete his outfit, only to marvel at the stuff on sale as the booth had mostly rare collectors items and books. “Whao! This guy must have fortune to afford all this! ” Kai thought again, only to frown at the lack of weapons as much of the table is covered in small items and couldn’t have room for even a fake knife.

After looking twice with no luck Kai asked the merchant “ you wouldn’t happen to have a long sword would you?” At the word ‘sword’ the merchant became really uncomfortable and said with a surprisingly young voice “I-I d-don’t like weapons or just sharp objects I-I-in general....they bring back memories that I would like to forget.” The young conversation seller seem really uncomfortable, practically shacking slightly and having a hard time constraining on the box he was organising below.

“Woah he must be stressed bad or more likely having PTSD from what he just-” Kai’s thoughts were interrupted when his eyes caught sight of the second item he was looking for, “warden’s oath” and the price tag said “£20 pounds “ for it but before he could make his request, what the security guard said resurfaced in his mind.

People have been disappearing lately and last anyone saw them is buying something from a stall or booth

Fine disappear not like I was trying to stop you or anything

Shacking his head Kai looked at the young man then behind himself in the direction the guard went, then back towards the merchant and back behind himself again, after a few moments he turned back toward the merchant.
“There’s no way this young shy man just selling collectibles is responsible for possibly thousands of people and besides what does someone have to gain by kidnapping people? ” Kai thought again and then said to the merchant “I’ll have that amulet there, the worth twenty pounds please “ the merchant nods and hands Kai the oath then he wrapped it around his neck.

After making sure the necklace was successfully secured Kai turned around and began his way back to his family before suddenly. “Finally I was hoping someone would buy from me eventually, the others really need to stop spamming displaced so much” A old voice said seemingly out of nowhere before, causing Kai to wipe around frantically searching for the old voice before suddenly his vision turned black and went to the land of dreams.

The dark sky was beautiful over the Everfree forest, the most mysterious and dangerous place on Aurora being supposedly created from the remains of the Everfree castle or castle of the twin sisters respectively, from the young creatures that inhabit it to the random humans that visit, the forest house many wonderful things that can draw aw and attention from even the most dark hearted of individuals.

It now houses a large crater made from lightning and from that hole came a man that will bring about a world changing event once again.

Kai Black

“Uuaah my head” I thought as I was pulled from the black abyss of sleep and started to open my eyes, only to see the most beautiful night sky I’ve ever seen. Deciding to get my bearings I began to move, only to stop and listen to the noises I make.

Clank!

Clank!

Clank!

Looking over my costume I discovered it wasn’t a costume anymore but an actual grey warden armour set with the addition of warden’s oath wrapped around my neck and looking more life-like then before. Continuing with my plan of finding out where I was, I stood up and climbed the surprisingly deep crater and as soon as I was out I looked around while thinking about the resent events.

“Okay now why was I in that crater in the first place and how...did..I..... ” I slowly started to think back to what the security guard which didn’t help my rapid breathing.

People have been disappearing lately latelylately

“Oh God! Don’t tell..that..that..that little!....no calm down Kai it couldn’t have been him and even if it was I’m the one who bought the oath so no one is to blame but me.” I thought to myself to keep me from going crazy, as soon as I was calmed I continued looking at my surroundings, the first and most noticeable thing was the sky which not only were the stars visible but also in unrecognisable constellations.

“And you won’t have seen them on earth unless you lived in the Southern Hemisphere,which concludes I’m on another planet or something like that” I thought to myself again as I walked in a random direction to hopefully find shelter for the night.

Princess Twilight Sparkle POV
First person

I woke up with a fright as if a arrow just went through my chest, sitting up on my queen sized bed I looked to the direction of the Everfree the place where my path truly began.

“What in maker’s name was that spike of power? It’s as if someone or something came into this world and I felt it the strongest. ” I thought to myself as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes even though it is midnight. Looking back at the Everfree though my bedside window I wonder what caused that massive spike of energy, until a series of knocks came to my double set of doors.

Groggily I got up from my fluffy companion and with sleep wasting away slowly (A trick I learned from my many late nights) I walked towards the doors and then with still sleepy hands (cruse you! Biology!) I pulled the doors open to be greeted by the four of the many close people in my life both as a friend, a daughter and a princess of friendship.
Three girls and one boy.

(From left to right)

The boy was of fourteen years old, five years younger then me, was 3’.4” in hight and had green spiked hair, sleepy green eyes and wore purple pyjamas with a sleeveless top, the boy also had purple dragon scales going along the elbow side of his arms as well as the coke of his neck. This is my adoptive brother Spike, number one assistant and my LBBFFE.

The girl next to him was the same age as me though hight wise she’s only a head taller then Spike, with me and the rest standing at the average hight of 6 . She had rainbow coloured hair and pink eyes as well as blue Pegasus wings, she also wears a blue sports bra and panties. This is rainbow dash the most brave and loyal friend a princess of friendship can ask for.

On her left was Applejack the oldest (save rarity) out of all of us here, she had long blonde hair tied in a ponytail that goes to her wast, wearing a sleeveless shirt and a short skirt. She’s the strongest person I’ve known and the most honest as well though she lacked her signature ten-gallon hat that she almost never parts with.

And there was rarity herself, same age as AJ (As well as her girlfriend ‘giggles’) though with her high heels she looks like the tallest but only by inches. Rares has long purple hair like mine (though a different shade and lacking a pink stripe like me) that goes to her shoulder blades. Rarity was wearing a a fancy dress that looked a little over designed (At least to us) wore white high heeled shoes, rarity dispite her fancy nature is actually quite generous and always will to help a friend without anything in return.

I was about to asked want was before- “CMC” they all said in unison.

“Oh maker have mercy” Was all I could say that night right then and there.

Author's Note

Hello there hope you all enjoyed that this was my second attempt at writing a story because I didn’t think the first time would pass the approval ratings.

Anyway I want to say a few things here

1. I’m new to writing so don’t expect a masterpiece or something.

2. I’ll update when I feel like or I have an idea pop in my head, I don’t have general direction I want the story to go but I got a descent ending nailed down I just don’t have a clear path to that ending yet.

3. I won’t accept crossovers yet that will happen at a plot I have in mind.

And finally this will be very heavy AU so don’t expect things to happen like they did after season 4 , the events before and during the finale of the season are more or less the same.

With that i hope to see you guys next Chapter!
