Detoxification

Princess Celestia's Pov

Letting out a curt yawn whilst sitting at my beautiful white table in one of the gardens closer to my own room, clearly, hearing the nobles drone on and on about stolen land or petty arguments such as family feuds tearing each other apart really does impact on my lack of sleep, after a thousand years I think doing Day court to be a massive chore, but I guess somepony has to run this country, I just hope Lulu is fairing better than me.

Hearing a subsequential popping sound right next to me I turned my head and see that Twilight has sent me a message wrapped one of her newly given seal stamps with her cutie mark upon it, thinking back now I used to get messages from a lot of the leaders explaining their troubles and such, so much in fact that I started to ignore them a put them away into a hidden pile, along with Twilights being one of them, I think that's why I gave her, her own coloured stamp, complementary to her skin's colour so that I could identify what to throw out.

Chuckling to myself I opened the scroll with my magic and read the contents.

Dear Princess Celestia

I'm writing to you in an urgent manner, the creature that fell out of the sky that you spotted along with traces of chaotic magic is here with me, his name is Elliott and I urgently request your assistance at once, it looks like his body has taken to much magic within himself and he looks like he's going into detoxication.

Please please please please help!!!

Rolling the scroll back up I got up from my seat and performed an extensive teleporting spell required for long-distance travelling mostly used for an urgent meeting with other rulers of different kingdoms and this new being troubles me so. Remembering to see a weirdly object in the sky falling at a rapid angle towards the Everfree Forest and sensing a slight scent of Chaotic magic in the air really troubled me, so I'm guessing Discord must be messing around again with his tricks and whatnot. Sighing horribly I got ready for the jump.

Twilight's Pov

Running around frantically like a mad mare on heat I was searching every nook and cranny for books that had any sort of information to save Elliott from detoxication, I didn't know how his body was going to take it, he's basically a new species on this planet not knowing what the drastic effects that would place upon the Human. I couldn't find any books that had anything to do with humans, not surprising since he's from another dimension, tripping over a stack of books I rubbed my sore horn and got back up again and carried on my search.

I just wish Princess Celestia would get here, she hasn't replied yet and I'm not sure how long it's going to tak-

A loud popping sound and a tiny fracture in the air of godly like magic stood Princess Celestia in all her glory. Ruffling her wings she walked over to Twilight and quickly hugged her.

"Princess! I don't know what to do! I've tried everything and nothing seems to be working! I've looked at nearly every book about detoxication and I can't find anything that works on Human beings!" I was about to continue my rant before Princess Celestia put her hand on my mouth and calmed her down and allowed her to breathe.

"Did you say, Human?" she said with a small surprise on her face and a tiny grin whilst memories looked like they flashed before Celestia's eyes.

"Princess?" I started waving a hand over my former tutor's face.

"Twilight, have you ever heard of King Arthur?" My eyes were full of confusion but a slight spark of remembrance hit me like a train.

"Oh! Yes, the pony that saved the three tribes in early times? I vaguely remember being told a story by my mother about a pony so strong he wielded a heavenly sword gold in stature and strong as a thousand suns." clicking my tongue, I tried to remember more but couldn't, it was that long ago that story had been told I was basically a foal at that point.

"Yes but, you missed an important detail, the pony I was on about wasn't actually a pony" Celestia chuckling ever so slightly much to the amusement of since I had a pretty dumbfounded expression on my face.

"What do you mean he wasn't a pony? Was he a griffon then? Or something else." I, completely confused, I tried rummaging around in my own head to find any clues or an answer that I wasn't aware of Princess Celestia chuckling to herself.

"No my little Twilight, he was a Human!" Celestia said with a smirk, whilst I, on the other hand, was knocked out of my own train of thought and was completely caught off guard.

"But, but! That can't be possible! Nopony has heard of a Human before, and I would probably be the first one to find out!" I said whilst scampering to find the book that relates towards the subject.

"Because I removed the history to protect my friends wishes Twilight, but there is one book and a few of his belongings still behind the royal vault locked away with a powerful spell only me or Luna can break, besides you're a Princess now, maybe a fairly new one at that but It won't be a problem if I show the book to you as well," she said whilst keeping her warm smile.

Turning around with a wide smile on my muzzle "Really!! You really mean it! Wait!! Elliott is still in bed suffering! Quick we got to do something!!" I said whilst running around the room in a frantic once again. Celestia rolled her eyes and lit up her magic stopping me mid-run.

"Don't worry, this has happened before, Arthur, when he came to this world suffered the same sort of problem, and believe me he was fine afterwards, his body is reacting to the latent magic in the air and from other beings. Since we are solely surrounded and inhibiting magic all the time his body couldn't take the foreign entities so his body is going through a detox phase whilst it gets comfortable with the magic already building up inside of him," she said grabbing me by the hand and teleporting us out of the room and into Elliott's room where he is resting. Noticing that he was okay since he was literally screaming and twitching an hour ago and it was a big shock, I thought he was dying.

Looking at my old mentor she walked over to were Elliott was sleeping and she knelt down and rested her horn just below his chest, a bright light engulfed her horn and almost blinding like the sun itself was there before me, then the light faded and Celestia lifted herself from her kneeling position and looked over at me with her signature warm motherly smiles.

"He will be fine, I just did a quick scan over his body to make sure the detox phase is going as planned, and from the looks of it, it's just about done. I'd say give it a moment." Celestia said whilst levitating two chairs that were at the dressing table on the other side of the room. Celestia sat down and her horn flared up again and teleported a table and what looks to be her favourite teapot set whilst offering me a cup which I took happily with my magic and levitating the tea towards me and taking a long sip whilst we both sighed in comfort.

Elliott's Pov Location Unknown

"Where am I" slowly becoming conscious to the surroundings. I looked around and found that I was in the middle of a thickly wooded area full of trees with a lot of snow. It wasn't a blizzard it was a very silent but calming fall of snow, not too much not too little to annoy my eyes with, sort of like a Christmas night on a very rare occasion of it snowing, thinking back now I do remember one Christmas ago that it snowed like this, just without being in a forest.

It really quite wondrous, I felt like a kid again, because whenever it would snow in my town I would never stop running, I would run everywhere I could go, I wasn't exactly a lonely kid back then, it's just I'd prefer being alone than in massive groups like some people like to put themselves in. That feeling though, it came back full force, the feeling of excitement and the thrill of something new to be explored, I think it's the feeling when you want to explore and adventure, it's something I've always wanted, I nodded to myself and trudged on in the snow.

I noticed it wasn't actually cold or warm either, but I could feel everything happening around me and I was just content in being there. Walking ahead now going passed rows upon rows of trees I spotted a bit of rock sticking out in the distance and a slight gleam like a flashlight or a sniper scope shine of something metal, I'm not sure what it was but I kept going anyway.

Getting a bit closer now, from what I could see it looked like a long sword stuck within the rock itself, but the sword itself was completely clean and was glowing softly within the snows grasp. Looking at it a lot closer now, I could see the intricate designs on the blade, runes that I couldn't read lines all the way down the blade until it stopped at the hilt, the hilt itself was curved in nature, golden in colour and a bit bulky. Looking towards the pommel of the regal-looking sword the handle was a mature blue.

Then it clicked.

"Wait, is this fucking Excalibur??" I shouted in shock to absolutely nobody, taking a step closer to try and touch it, it hummed when my finger got close, it was if the sword was calling to me.

"I'm no King Arthur, so why is this sword here of all places, and I'm pretty sure that was thousands of years ago in my own planet! So what the hell is it doing here?? Hang on, where the fuck is here? Christ this is giving me a headache, please don't be some sort of prophecy or something that would be so cliche." I said whilst grabbing the handle of the sword gently lifting it, but it wouldn't budge.

Well, I'm not surprised it wouldn't move, I'm not some chosen one either.

Let's try and give it a go with more strength into it.

Gripping the pommel even harder than before I struggled really hard to pull it out, but something was calling me to do it, whatever magic or unipotent god wanted me to pull out this sword, well your wish was granted, pulling even harder now cracks and straight electric sparks and a rumble of other things were dispersing out of the hole that the sword was actually being pulled from.

It's working, come on, full power now, this is so going to fuck my wrists up, who knows I may just dislocate my arms in one go.

Come on! Nearly fucking there mate!

Screaming quite loudly whilst massive cracks were forming across the snowy littered rock, my arms were about to give out before a sudden howling and squeal of a nearby horse drew my attention away from the sword for the moment, then out of nowhere something shot passed me and the only glimpse I got was wisps of fire and the sound of hooves running across the leaves.

Okayyy, yep, definitely shitting myself now, I should've known being in an unknown forest is definitely not the place where you think that you're always alone.

I couldn't hear anything at all now, complete silence, it's funny how a wonderful scenery can change, from comfortable and breathtaking to scary and downright terrifying the next. And I was certainly no Fredrick.

Another howl again and the galloping of hooves to my right, then gone, and then back again to my left, it was like it was toying with me, I was scared beyond belief but I held my ground, taking the initiative and toughing up my face I shouted.

"Whoever is out there, stop being cowardly and face me in the dark you big fucking pussy!" exhaling another breath of air and hardening my gaze to whatever might respond, but there was no sound again, really eerie to the point where I just wanted to bolt, but I stood my ground, you can't just call something out for being a coward and then start running away.

Then at that moment, I heard a whistle in the trees and the sound of quick dash from behind me I had only but a split second to react.

OHH FUCK DODGE!

Bending my back to near impossible lengths to dodge a massive axe swing from the assailant, quickly rolling across the snowy ground and on my feet again I faced my enemy and to my surprise and utter dumbfoundedness, there stood the Headless Horseman, how and why the fuck I did not know, but I was well and truly fucked if I was going against this thing.

It was exactly like the myths and legends I read back in class, no head, except he was holding his head in his arm pushed against his side. The head itself was actually a helmet, a helmet design I didn't recognise, a long wide slit going downwards for the eyes to see through and a smaller version of the slit but horizontal to where the mouth was supposed to be, so with that helmet on he would look like one edgy mother fucker, and I would be impressed if I didn't nearly get my head lopped off, thank god for boxing and tons of anime shows.

Black horse check, now flaming head check, axe-wielding twat check, yep definitely the legendary Dullahan, the Headless Horseman, what the absolute fuck. Oh well, may as well be a smartass whilst about to die.

"Oi prick, mind telling me why you've just nearly sliced my fuckin head off?" I shouted towards the silent and still entity of death. So silent in fact it didn't even respond, all I got was a huff from the horse and the OH FUCK HES CHARGING! NOPE!

Running to the left of me dodging between trees screaming nope along the way the horseman was catching up pretty fast, not to my surprise I may be a runner but I can't fucking outrun a horse. I whipped my head around again to get a quick glance and to gauge the distance on my pursuer only to be met with nothing, so I completely stepped to a halt taking a quick look at my surroundings.

My instincts screamed wildly at me to roll to the side, and that's what I did, but I was wrong, I whipped my head to the right and the big fucker was behind me, I tried to move as quickly as possible, but it was too late, he used his horse as a battering ram and sent me flying towards a nearby tree, slamming my back cracking the bark and sliding down till my arse hit the white cold floor.

My back was badly aching and I think I snapped a few things, my breathing was hoarse and I was having trouble catching my breath, bits of blood seeped at the corners of my mouth, coughing slightly I smirked and looked towards my inevitable death. The Horseman stood over me menacingly, I could feel that it had a wide grin on its face, at this point he was off his horse and stood in front of me, he looked about 6 or 7 feet tall, completely in all black, got to give it to him though, the lad has some nice taste in clothing.

"Well, not going to lie, I'm quite honoured to be killed by the famous Dullahan from Celtic Mythology," I said whilst sighing sadly.

As the enemy before me was about to deliver the last blow with his massive axe, looking up I could see the moon wink slightly, and a dot formed getting bigger and bigger before I could see a speeding person with wings and a noticeably large blue arse, holy shit, thighs for days!

The Horseman didn't know what hit him, but a hearing the sound of a sonic boom from a jet from a kick sent the poor bastard barreling towards the left at some pretty high speeds. My saviour in blue and a whole galaxy on her head she stared at me, she was wearing some pretty sick armour, purples and blues mixed together with a large symbol of a blotch with a crescent moon on it, the symbol of sorts was in the middle completely merged with the armour itself.

And I gotta say, she looked absolutely fuckin gorgeous, so gorgeous in fact that I was left staring at her for more than I should have, which made her blush slightly and her massive wings to twitch a bit. Was she nervous? I didn't know. Tearing my eyes away from her in embarrassment I tried to strike a conversation.

"So er, do you come around here often?" I said still not looking at her, whilst leaning my back against the tree to support my self to get up.

"Nay, we do not often come around here," she said whilst chuckling a bit, which elevated my mood since I was nearly killed.

"Well, cheers for the save, but, do you have any idea on where I am, one-moment I'm having a spazz attack on the floor and poof I'm here," I said whilst her eyebrow upturned slightly.

"Thee shouldst know, but if thee doesn't know, then we will explain, this place we art in, is thy dream. And that demon over yonder is latching itself onto thine mind, to stop thee from getting something, but we do not know what." She said with half Old English and modern. Which was pretty cool and cute at the same time.

"Well shit, didn't think this would get even more serious than it was, and by something, I think it's trying to stop me from grabbing that sword," I said whilst pointing south, the direction I ran from.

"Sword?" She said whilst realisation hit her.

"What did the sword look like?" she asked waiting patiently for an answer.

"Erm, it was golden at the guard, blue at the pommel, just basically a holy looking sword and I think I know what it is," I said whilst rubbing my back, checking to see what damag-

Wait a minute, if I'm in a dream, then that means I can do whatever the fuck I want, screw the demon, I could go fuckin full Bankai on his ass, legendary or not.

"Thee needeth get to thine sword and pull it from its place, once done, speaketh to our sister and she will explain everything, we will teleport you now, but before you go, our name is Princess Luna," she said coming closer to me and grabbing my hand, and with a large blue hue of energy surrounding us like a bubble.

"Oh sorry, forgot to mention, my name is Elliott, Elliott Johnston, or you can call me El if you want," I said whilst locking eyes with her again, she smiled and nodded before the bubble surged with electricity and then we were off.

Being teleported was not fun, dream or not, it was definitely really sickly, but gaining back my senses it looks like Princess Luna wasn't with me, damn, she was actually quite nice, pretty badass as well. Spotting the sword where it still was, I dashed towards it and gripped the pommel again.

Tugging harder and harder the cracks grew even wider, and then I heard another howling screech through the forest, but I didn't care, this was my dream and no prick was going to tarnish it by stopping me from pulling this sick ass sword. As soon as I pulled it out, a massive wave of energy exploded outwards, not hurting me or anything around me, kind of like a shockwave of golden energy. Looking in awe of the sword I was like a kid that found an awesome toy in a shop he happened to pass, or a cool looking stick.

Hearing another shrill shriek and hooves running on the snow, I turned and once again saw the Legendary Dullahan, and believe me it looked pissed, but I wasn't intimidated though, this was a dream, and I have a fucking Excalibur in my hands, so guess what,

Imma fuck him up.

The demon charged at me, whilst I did a charge of my own, axe and sword meeting with sparks of steal, clashing left and right, he passed me as I dashed to where he once stood, I could see every movement it would make and then some. I waited for the next strike to come, and when it did, he charged and as soon as he got in a close distance to me, his axe came down in a downwards arc ready to take my head off, I simply parried upwards sending his axe up, he still had his grip on his weapon, but what this demon hadn't thought of, is that I'm practically invincible in my dreams, so I shouted my favourite words.

A swirling of black fiery energy with a tinge of red outlining the edges surrounded the edge of my blade, I held Excalibur over my head and shouted.

"Getsuga! TENSH- the world froze in place, then it started to violently shake, I already knew what was up, and I've never been so disappointed in my entire life. For once in my life, I just wanted to be cool, fuck sakes. The demon was looking at my direction and I simply waved before everything went dark.
