Upon a dusty road somewhere in the middle of nowhere a vast life of green and water from the rain made the most
Beautiful view and a stranger of this land, away from is home to complete an important task tasked by is master he had a goal, a purpose but that doesn't mean he can't injoy the scenery.

"ah what peaceful times we live in such serenity and harmony if only the rest of my kind where here it will be a true good day". The stranger said to him self.

Continuing is journey he suddenly heard loud voice from the path north. "maybe some one is in need of assistance". He said to him self and he continue to where the voice came from.

A few minutes later and the stranger saw one of the land natives, a unicorn pony in color of teal blue screaming in frustration to her carriage that was broken and stuck in the mud. "i shall go to assist her its the right thing to do after all". He said to him self and went to the pony in need.

trixie's pov:

"why me the the great and powerful trixie have to suffer such misfortune first was the rain after that i lost all my bits and now my cart is broken and there is no pony in sight to ask for help and i promise starlight to get home fast to help her in the school, things can't get any worse". Trixie said to her self in a desperate tone.

"saaa... Are you need of assistance fellow traveler". A voice was heard behind her.

She turn around and say to the voice. "oh yes i the great and powerful trixie need...of...help". Trixie was in an odd state she saw no pony but a creature taller then a pony probably the size of an ursa major he was wearing robes and a round hat,he all so carried four swords two on each side of his body but his most distinguish feature was that he did not have hooves or paws no he had a snake like lower body.

"i have no bits please don't hurt me". She said without thinking to the stranger.

"small pony i have no wish to hurt you i am asking if you need help fixing your cart". The stranger said to her.

"well if you are not here to rob me then trixie accept your help". Trixie said to the stranger.

"is trixie your name?". The stranger asked her.

"yes i am the the great and powerful trixie lulamoon the best magician pony in equestria". She said to him in her showmare way.

"saaa... I see, well i set eyes upon you for the first time, trixie of house lulamoon. I am akenshu, vessel to daimyo okano of the naga race". Akenshu introduce himself

"naga? I never heard of such race in equestria". She said to him.

"saaa you are correct we do not originate from your land of equestria, we come from the lands of Hashima Island in the Jade Ocean part of the Lotus Empire". Akenshu said to trixie.

" I never heard of this Hashima Island and i am sure that we don't have a place named Jade Ocean or Lotus Empire so either you are lying to me or you are hiding something". Trixie said to the naga.

"You are very caution lady trixie it is a good quality to have but i do not lie to you and i can't say much more for i am under a task from daimyo okano to seek the ruler of equestria queen twilight sparkle for diplomatic affairs". Akenshu said to the showmare.

"WHAT, twilight is now queen of equestria since when?". She asked him.

"I do not know what do you mean by that but she made an allegiance with a kingdom of the dead and my daimyo recognize the ruler of the dead kingdom. So he sent me to be an envoy to see if she is willing to help us when the demons of sheogh will come to this land". He said to her.

Trixie said nothing she tried to process all have akenshu's words like the fact that twilight is now queen, the part of a kingdom of undead and the last part of demons.

"Lady trixie are you ok?". The naga asked her.

"Well yes i mean no i don't know ok how am i suppose to process all of this". She answer to him.

"Time is the only way. But while you where in your thoughts i fixed your cart". He said to her.

"Well trixie thank's you for your aid, say i have an idea you need to see twilight and i am going to meet a friend of mine that live where twilight is, so maybe we can travel together". Trixie said to the naga.

"It will be a pleasure to travel along side you lady trixie may Shalassa water's our path in this journey". He said to her and smile in a peaceful way.

"Is shalassa your ruler?". Trixie asked him.

"Saaa in a way she is but shalassa is the god of the naga. The blue Dragon of Water is humble, quiet and secretive. She is the serene mystic, wisest of the dragons. In all things, she values diplomacy, versatility and adaptability. Yet, if she decides to act, she is swift and indomitable. You cannot hope to win when you are fighting the waves. Shalassa is the most graceful of the Elemental Dragons. Her features are all about serenity and wisdom. Her scales are a harmonious mix of jade-green and turquoise-blue. She is wingless and she has fins instead of legs. In fact, she looks like a sea-serpent. Her breath can be a tidal wave, a geyser of scalding steam, or a bone-chilling blizzard". Akenshu finish describe is dragon god.

"So your god is a dragon, i hope she is not like the dragons that live here". Trixie said to the naga.

"I met some of the dragons of your land and i have to say that i found them a disappointment". He said to her.

As they where continuing in the path to ponyville they saw some strange ponies in color of ash along side some griffins and diamond dogs mercenaries robbing from traveling ponies and akenshu did not injoy what he saw.

"Hold if you want to pass you need to pay a toll of 500 bits". The pony said to them.

"I can't pay this". Trixie said to the ash color pony.

"Then we will take your cart as payment". The pony said to her.

"That will not be necessary we have a great task to do in the town so we will move on, come lady trixie". The naga said to her.

"Not so fast scaly if you don't pay we will have to hurt you a bit". The pony said to him and he and his mercenaries started to show their weapons.

"Is that so very well then i accept your challenge". The naga said to him and he grab two of his swords and said to them. "I will show you the power of a kensei". he said while taking a stance

"Get him!". The pony yell at his mercenaries.

The griffins took to the sky while the diamond dogs grab crossbows,spears and swords. It was thirty five against one they started to shoot bolts at him only for the bolts to be cut in the way of the naga's swords. For a moment they felt like losing the one in front of them was not like the guards of canterlot or the rest of the military of equestria they did not know how to battle this stranger each time they strike they were deflected by the stranger. At this moment the ash pony had an idea.

"Shoot the mare behind him". He yell to the griffins mercenaries.

The griffins started to fire bolts at trixie while akenshu was fighting the diamond dogs.

Trixie tried to hide but in the storm of bolts one bolt hit her in the back.

"Damm by celestia its hurt". Trixie yell as she was in pain from the bolt.

"LADY TRIXIE, YOU HONORLESS DOGS YOU SHELL SUFFER THE POWER OF THE TIDE". Akenshu yell at the group of mercenaries.

He throw his robes and his hat to reveal all of his body. Trixie and the mercenaries saw something terrifying that day. Something like the centaur tirek but this stranger this naga was half serpent larger three times the size of a teen dragon,on his body was a set of armor like the ponies of the east use and he had four arms and now each had swords.

"Pagoda master of the Four Waves guide my blades as i go to battle". Akenshu said to him self and then pointing his sword to the ash pony.

“High tide, low tide and the waves of blood between. The poet kills with his brush, the Kensei writes with his sword". Akenshu said to the pony.

"And what is that supposed to mean". The ash pony said to the naga.

"It means that today you and your band of honorless mercenaries are going to meet your ancestors". Akenshu said to the pony.

"FOR SHALASSA". Akenshu released a war cry so powerful that some of the mercenaries began so fear the now enraged naga.

The naga charged the enemy like a tidal wave on the land with no mercy he cut down in less then three seconds twenty of the mercenaries. They died in their place the rest of the mercenaries that remain where in the air trying to shoot him from above only to fail. He cut every bolt they fire at him and then akenshu said to the last mercenaries.

"As the ripples subside, the water returns". And he strike the air with all his force to make a powerful slash in the wind what came after that was a rain of blood as the griffins fall from the sky.

Only one left the ash pony unicorn and akenshu was not done till he will finish this once and for all.

"You think you can stop me naga i know what you are and more then that i know you are tired killing you will be a pleasure". The ash pony said to akenshu.

"It was as if time stood still... And there was only him and me in a cloud of slashing steel and a mist of invigorating blood". Akenshu said to him self and then he said to his foe. "You underestimate the power of the sword saints of Hashima". He said to the pony.

"Well then die!". The ash pony yell and charged the naga with is magic infused sword.

Akenshu did nothing he closed his eyes and took a stand with his swords. When the ash pony was in range akenshu said to him self. " Four Waves style finale form". And the naga like a vortex all his blades spin around him for a second and it was over the pony of ash fall before him.

As akenshu put his swords away he turn to trixie. "Lady trixie let me help you". And he pull the bolt from her back.

"Thank you for saving me, its strange i never saw a pony in color of ash before and he smell like". Trixie was about to say something but her new friend akenshu said something first.

"Sulfur" he said to her with dread in his voice.

"Is it bad?". Trixie asked him.

"Saaa it is we need to get to your town fast to warn them if more like him are coming". Akenshu said to her.

"Well then lets grab our stuff and had to ponyville i think twilight need to do some explaining ". Trixie said to him as they continuing to travel on the path to ponyville.
