"Dear Princess Celestia; I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt that.. there was a tear in the fabric of space and time over the everfree, something was thrown out of it. something out. I'm working with my arcanists to triangulate where exactly the rift appeared, if we're lucky it might have been over the hidden fortress of Baroness Luna.

Your loyal Student and Arch Magus; Twilight Sparkle.

Glory to the light."

Celestia stood on a balcony overlooking the city of canterlot, her eyes focused on the distant everfree forest across from ponyville.
She had just finished reading the scroll Twilight sent to her, and according to her own sources, even those with little connection to magic have been effected by the Tear.

Celestia's ear flicked as the doors to her chambers opened, the guards letting in a frazzled Raven, carrying her clipboard close to her chest in one hand, and a large canteen of coffee in the other.
Celestia turned to face Inkwell with a smile, that turned into a worried frown. "How long have you been awake Ms. Inkwell?" Celestia said, stepping away from the balcony. "Fourty five hours your majesty. It's.. been a long couple days, I have about fifty papers with lists of names on one clipboard and another fourty five on this one, ranging from the noble to the comoner. And before you ask, about four pills of painkillers each seven hours... your majesty." Inkwell took a big gulp from her cantine full of coffee, Celestia could smell the pitch black roast from where she stood.

"Inkwell.. take a break, and that is an order." "But your ma-" "Please?" Inkwell sighed, nearly passing out right on the spot before she shook her head and taking another drink of her coffee. "Yes, your majesty.. I'll find an aide to take over before I rest." She took a bow.. before slumping over. Celestia used her magic to catch Inkwell before she crashed into the floor, thankfully saving the coffee as well. She levitated Inkwell over to her massive bed before setting her down, placing the canteen on the nightstand and closing the lid shut. "You overwork yourself too much Inkwell.."

She sighed as a couple booming knocks came from the chamber doors. "Enter." She said, strolling to her desk before sitting down. Shining armor came in, Clad in prestine white armor with hints of golden accents. He took a bow before Celestia.
"You majesty, we have increased reports of ponies and other creatures being effected by the tear across equestria, sources show that Unicorns have been getting sick from its sudden appearance, with symptoms such migraines, nausea, and magi discharge. Pegasai and earth ponies have experienced more minor effects, such as fatigue. We're still gauging the effects of the tear on non ponies, depending on how strong their connection is with magic."
Shining armor said, lifting up before Celestia. "And how long is this expected to last?" She asked, her gaze drifting to the sleeping Inkwell. "Unsure, the appearance of the Tear was brief, but sudden. Could last from a few days, to a few weeks." She found and looked behind her to the balcony. "..your highness?" Shining said, cocking his head a tad to the side. "Nothing... that will be all Shining Armor. I'll need to message Cadenza about this." He nodded, gave a salute, then left. Celestia returned the balcony and looked out towards the everfree forest. "Oh luna.. just what have you brought upon us.."

"May I ask your name miss?" Baroness Luna asked, her soft gaze inquisitively observing Mizuki.

Mizuki gulped nervously, having never been in the presence of actual royalty, never mind one in an entirely different world compared to hers was putting a bit of strain on her composer. "Mizuki, Mizuki Himura."

"Miss Himura, would you happen to know how you ended up here? I detected a great magical disturbance upon your arrival.. don't worry you aren't necessarily in trouble, though I'd greatly appreciate any insurances that you aren't a threat."

Mizuki's ears folded back as she thought back before she ended up here.

"It's a tad rough.. I was.. at an event, looking for my little brother, he's been missing for some time now. I found the man who initially took him. I questioned him a bit told me he'd take me to my brother, if I sacrificed something. I snapped, he grabbed my neck, opened up a portal and threw me in like I was nothing.. before I knew it I was here.. and in a different body."

"Different body?" Luna asked, leaning forward a bit with a hand on her chin.
"I uh.. didn't exactly look like this on my way in.. my people are bipedal like you but we only had hair atop our heads. Not fur all over.. we also had much flatter faces.. do you have primates here? We kind of look like those."
"Wait, your planet is comprised of monkeys?" Scarlett Dawn piped up.

"Eh.. not.. quite? There's been many debates of where my people originated, some think we evolved frome apes, others think we evolved from fish or something. A large populace of my people belive that we were molded by some all knowing diety."

"Ah.. lets.. not get off track.." Luna said with a calm expression. "Miss Lavender?" There was a puff of smoke as a Thestral appeared beside the Baroness. "Yes ma'am?"
"Please show miss Himura here around the castle make sure she's back for the banquet, I'm sure she's quite hungry." The thestral saluted before leaping off the steps and drifting down infront of Mizuki.
"Yo.~ Names Dawning Lavender. Cmon I'll give ya the run of the place."

Mizuki nodded and got back up onto her feet before following Lavender out of the throne room.

"..Miss Dawn?" Scarletts ears flicked as she turned her gaze back to Luna, her horns glow fading away. "She spoke the truth, she ain't a threat.. she did leave out some parts of her story but her head might have been jumbled from the trip across dimensions."

Luna nodded and pondered for a moment. "You may return to your duties.. I have to think of what to do with our new guest." Scarlett Dawn nodded, bowed, and left the throne room. Luna turned her attention to one of her guards, quietly gesturing them forward. "Lady Luna?" The guard asked when summoned, standing before the Baroness.
"Would you kindly have a message delivered for me? It's for our friends in the Crystal Empire and the Kingdom of Olenea."

Mizuki had her focus on the marvelous architecture as Lavender lead her through the halls, she'd never seen anything this grand, aside from on the TV. "And here we have the training grounds." She heard Lavender pipe up, returning her gaze to the mare infront of her, leaning over a balcony. She'd join her side and look down to see a small squad armed with Bayonetted rifles, the sounds of clanging metal and magical spells rousing from below. "We have a magical barrier around each one of these, deafens the sound of any magical detonation from the outside..."

there was a bit of a silience as Mizuki observed the soldiers from the balcony. Lavenders ears perked and her eyes widened." Uh.. ya know speaking of training I should probably-" Lavender turned around only to be confronted with a rather tall individual, turning her attention to Lavender, Mizuki found herself gazing up at a rather tall insectoid equine. "A..ah! T...thistle.. I was.. just on my way to-"
"trying to skip lessons again, eh Lavender?" "Hey I just wanted to show the new gal around! Can't hurt to give her a tour. Besides Luna asked me to-" "I know. I'm just worried you won't pass mastery exams if you keep running off." Lavenders ears folded back as she scratched the back of her head. "Hey, I'll have to catch ya later.. show ya a little more about the place." She said before running past the tall bug pony.

"Lavender! Wait for.. ugh.. always five steps ahead of herself.." he sighed as he rubbed her eyes before turning his attention to Mizuki. "Apologies.. as you heard, my name is Thistle, I'm one of the grandmasters here. And you are..?" Thistle extended his hand to Mizuki who gently returned the gesture and shook his hand politely. "Mizuki Himura.. uh.. if you don't mind me asking, what are you?"

Thistle blinked, his head tilting before he snapped back and chuckled. "Ah that's right, you're quite new here.. I'm a changeling as you can depict were more like insects than the normal pony, typically I'd function with a hive but.. the one I was with was.. rather unpleasant. I managed to break from the hive and ended up here. Now I'd love to chat some more but I do have to teach my students.. have a pleasant day."

He gave her a short nod as he turned away and strolled off. Mizuki sighed and rubbed her face. "Thats.. enough exploring for one day I think.. people here are nice.. I think I could get used to it here. Now let's see if I remember which room I came from." Mizuki stepped from the balcony and made her way down the halls of the castle. "I could get used to being here.. but if that guy from before.. the man who tossed me here was telling the truth.. then my brother also has to be here.. somewhere.." Mizuki spoke to no one in particular, mainly herself as she walked up a flight of stairs. "I better catch some sleep before food is ready, Luna said something about a banquet.. past couple days have been exhausting.." Mizuki pressed her clawed hand against a door and opened it to the room she first woke up in. After stepping forward to the soft mattress and dropping herself onto it, she immediately passed out.
