The Realm of Ponies and Magic
Encounter with Royalty Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe sun slowly started to rise as it enveloped the land in its warmth. On a certain Mountain Castle that goes by the name of Canterlot, a young white alicorn with a cutie mark of a sun yawned as she finished raising the sun. This pony was no other than Princess Celestia herself. A pony in charge of raising and lowering the sun. She slowly got out of her pajamas and got dressed in a lovely white dress along with her crown and other regalia.
She left her sleeping chambers and walked towards the dining room where she met her younger sister Princess Luna. Princess Luna had dark blue fur as her mane was waving in an invisible breeze. Celestia smiled at her younger sister as she bid her good morning.
"Morning Lulu, did the night court go well?" Celestia asked her younger sister.
"It was deserted as an always dear sister. So We moved on to guard the dreams of our little ponies." Luna responded as she took a sip from her morning tea.
"Though something felt strange this time" Luna continued with a thinking expression.
"What's the matter? Did something happened?" Celestia asked with interest and slight worry.
"We do not know. We have felt foreign magic in the dream realm, so we planned to investigate. You know that dreams are like doors for me to enter. So once we reached the source of the strange magic that dream looked odd. It was something We've never seen before. More importantly, when I tried to enter the dream it pushed me away. So We tried to use our magic to enter, the power was so strong that it kicked us out of the dream realm" Luna explained to her sister.
This got Celestia thinking. What kind of magic was strong enough to cause something like that? Before she could answer a scroll popped up in front of her in a green flash. This brought a smile on her face. This scroll only meant one thing. Her student Twilight Sparkle has sent her a letter.
"Ah, it seemed young Twilight has sent you another letter. What does it say?" Luna asked as Celestia opened the letter and started to read it.
Dear Princess Celestia
I'm writing you this letter to share some exciting news. Earlier today the Element of Loyalty Rainbow Dash has come to me and told me she met someone interesting. She also said that the pony she met was not a pony but a creature called a Nephilim. The same creature who rescued The Cutie Marks Crusaders from the Everfree Forest two days ago. Later that day we had a party for the said creature. He introduced himself as Tomz. We had a Q and A session along with my friends. He told me that he is using two types of magic. Magicka and something called Soul Magic. The fun part is that he is generating magic himself and not tapping into it as we do. Also according to him, he is one of the oldest beings in the entire creation! Not only that but he is something known as the Realm Guardian. He travels across the realms making sure everything runs smoothly. Can you believe it!?He can travel to other worlds! This changes everything we know on our universe. But I'm getting off-topic. I would like to know what to do next. He is currently staying in my library for the time being.
Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle
"This is quite interesting Tia. I never knew such beings exist. But now I'm certain that the dream from last night belonged to that Tomz creature young Twilight speaks off." Luna told Celestia as she finished her tea and stood up from the table.
"What do thou think we should do?" Luna asked her sister.
"Hmm...I would most certainly want to meet this Tomz creature she speaks off. I will send her a letter to come to canterlot this afternoon." Celestia told Luna as she wrote a reply and send it away.
"I would recommend you go and get some rest, Lulu. You have to be well-rested for this afternoon" Celestia told Luna with a smile on her face.
Luna nodded "of course Tia. I will come to the throne room once they Twilight and her friends visit Canterlot today" The Night Princess responded and left the dining room.
Celestia then had a short breakfast. Simple oatmeal and some waffles. Once she was done she walked to the throne room and prepared for the day court.
Twilight's Library
Tomz POV
I woke up to a warm sun beaming in my face.
I slowly open my eyes and sat up and stretch. After putting on my clothes I walked downstairs to the kitchen to once again prepare pancakes as Twilight asked of me last night. I quickly got all the things I need and started to bake. Once more there was shuffling upstairs which meant Twilight has woken up. Soon enough Twilight and Spike have walked into the kitchen and sat down on near the table. When the pancakes were done I once again put them on the table as we began eating.
"Oh, Twilight I wanted to ask you, what kind of currency do you use?" I asked the lavender pony.
"We are using Bits. They are little gold coins." Twilight responded as she showed me the gold coin in question. "So what do you have anything planned for today?" Twilight asked me.
I shrugged "No, not really. But I'll think I'll look into your books to get more familiar with this Realm if that's okay." I asked her as I took a sip of orange juice.
"Why of course. You're more than welcome to search the books for information. If you need help just ask" Twilight responded with a smile.
As we were eating, Spike suddenly burped as a smoke formed into a scroll.
"Twilight it's the letter from the Princess," Spike said as Twilight enveloped the letter in her magic, opened it and began to read
Dear Twilight Sparkle
First I want to know that I'm glad the Cutie Mark Crusaders returned to Ponyville without harm. Second I am quite interested in this Tomz you speak off. I and my sister would like to meet him personally, therefore, I am inviting you and you're friends to Canterlot later this afternoon. We have much to discuss. Though I have to say that his magic interests me the most. I'll see you later today
Princess Celestia
Twilight beamed at the response.
"Oh, this is perfect! Tomz the Princesses would like to meet you in person later today. Is that okay with you?" The lavender unicorn asked me.
I just smiled at her like always. "Of course Twilight. I'm fine with it. But it seems you and your friends will go with me"
"Of course, I guess the more the merrier as they say," Twilight told me as she finished her breakfast and floated her plate in the sink.
After we were done Twilight and Spike went outside to do some shopping and to meet up with the rest of her friends. I, on the other hand, stayed inside and explored the books she had. I read a little bit about their history. It seemed they had quite a few villans. Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, Discord, and the list goes on. I read a couple of spellbooks and tried to do a couple of spells using my Magicka but it didn't work, I then tried using Soul Magic but only got the same result.
"What are you reading?"
Frisk asked as I heard her voice inside my head
"What does it look like? I'm catching up on some reading. The more I understand this Realm the better." I responded
"Are you excited about the meetup today? I wonder what the princesses are like. The only royalty you know are The Dreemurs so this will be a nice change of pace" Frisk told me.
"Well, I can see you are excited. How are the others doing?" I asked as I flipped a page and continued to read.
"Why are you asking me, if you can ask them yourself?"
Frisk responded.
I chuckled "Touche Frisk," I told her as I closed the book and put it on the small table in the living room. Once I decided I got nothing better to do I left the library and started to walk around town. I walked passed a small school as I saw the crusaders playing in the school park. I waved at them as they waved back with bright smiles on their faces. They wanted to come and talk but I guess the teacher told all of them to go back to class. Once she saw me she gave me a small wave as I nodded back to her.
After a while Twilight came to me and told me its time to go to Canterlot. The two of us walked towards the train station meeting the rest of Twilight's friends.
"Heya girls, you ready?" I asked them as I gave them a friendly wave.
"Hey big guy, you ready to meet the Princesses?" Rainbow asked me as she walked towards me.
"Of course. One part of me can't wait" I chuckled as we all entered the train and Twilight handed each of us a train ticket
We took our seats, I and Rainbow were in one seat, while Rarity and Applejack were in a seat across from us. Twilight and Fluttershy were seating beside us while Spike and Pinkie across from them.
"So how long until we reach Canterlot," I asked looking outside the window.
"Well we should be reaching Canterlot in an hour or so," Twilight told me as I nodded to her answer.
Soon enough we all heard a whistle from a conductor as a train suddenly turned and slowly started moving as it was increasing its speed. Now we were on our way to Canterlot as the girls were chatting amongst themselves.
"Hey Tomz, can I see that huge paintbrush of yours?" Rainbow asked me as she looked at me.
I thought about it and agreed "Sure" I then grinned "If you can hold it that is" I told her as I reached for my back and took my paintbrush and handed it to her. The minute her hands grabbed it, the mere weight of the whole thing proceeded to knock her off her seat.
"What the buck?" Rainbow said confused. She then tried to lift it up but to her suprise the paintbrush wouldnt even budge.
"Hey...hnngg what g-gives nnnhgh" Rainbow groaned in the effort as she tried to lift up my paintbrush.
"What's the matter Rainbow....having trouble?" I taunted her as she tightens her grip on my weapon/tool.
"W-who me... no of c-course not. Hnnnngh come on you stupid b-bucking thing aaghhh!!" She answered as she tried to lift it up will all her might. I even saw veins in her hands were starting to form from the effort she was putting in.
"What's going on here Rainbow?" Applejack asked as she looked at me.
"Well Rainbow over here asked me if she could see my paintbrush and I agreed. What you see here is her effort to pick it up and actually hold it" I answered the cowgirl pony.
"Rainbow you better stop until you sprain something," Applejack told her Rainbow friend but knowing how stubborn Rainbow can be...it didn't work.
"Back off AJ, this... aaghh... pai-paintbrush....hnnngh is mineeee...ggghnn..aghh..come on!!!" Rainbow Dash responded as she put all of her efforts into it until she finally gave up and fell on her ass beside me as she panted with a little sweat forming on her brow.
"No fair...how do you make it look so easy?" Rainbow asked me as she panted
Before I could answer her, Applejack interrupted me.
"Now hold on just a minute. Let me show you Dash how it's done" Applejack told her as she grabbed my weapon, gripped it tightly, and pulled up....only to find the paintbrush still on the floor, in the same position.
"What in tarnation?" Applejack asked herself as she stared at the paintbrush on the ground. She then walked around it and grabbed the very end of it and pulled up. The paintbrush didn't even budge.
"What's wrong AJ? I thought you will show me how a real mare does it?" Rainbow taunted the farm pony.
"And I will...hnnggg...as soon...aggghh...as I manage to pick it upppp" Applejack groaned as she tried to lift it up only to fail. Finally, she too gave up and sat down on her seat.
"Okay, I want to know too. How do you do it?" Applejack asked me as now Rainbow was also looking at me.
"The answer is simple." I began as I took my paintbrush from the ground and put it back across my back. "You're just not worthy"
"Worthy? Worthy of what?" Rainbow asked as she lifted her eyebrow.
"You are not worthy of being a Realm Guardian, that's all" I simply responded to them.
Applejack nodded in understanding while Rainbow crossed her arms angrily and pouted
"That's not fair" She muttered quietly.
After a while we finally reached Canterlot and now that I was actually closer to the mountain city. It looked breathtaking. The only thing that was bothering me is that the city was on the side of the mountain. I just hope one day the support beams that hold this city won't crumble and all of these ponies fall to their deaths.
After a while, we reached the castle, as we entered the castle the two guards by the door crossed their spears just before I managed to enter.
"Halt! State your business!" One of the guards asked me in a demanding tone.
Luckily for me, Twilight came back and explained the situation.
"Its okay Sharp Sight, he's with us. We have an audience with the Princesses" Twilight explained.
The guard known as Sharp Sight was eyeing me for a few seconds until he pulled his spear back.
"Very well. You may enter" He told me as I nodded at him.
"Sorry about that, the guards are taking their job very seriously," Twilight told me as she apologized for them.
"It's fine dear, no harm done," I said as we joined with the others.
Twilight nodded as she blushed slightly. We then reached a big double gate. The guards opened them to reveal a throne room. At the far end of the room were the thrones. On those thrones were two ponies. One was alabaster white while the other was midnight blue. Their both manes were waving in a non-existent breeze. They also had horns on the top of their heads and big wings on their back.
We walked closer as the guards closed the door behind us. Once we reached the thrones, Twilight, along with her friends bowed while I just gave them a short friendly wave and a nod of my head.
"Twilight I would like to welcome you to Canterlot along with you and your friends. Did the trip go well?" The alabaster white pony asked her.
"The trip went fine Princess. We came just as you said in the letter you sent me this morning. Oh I almost forgot. Princess Celestia, this is Tomz. The Nephilim I told you about"
Twilight said as she gestured to me with a hand.
"Pleasure meeting you darling" I greeted the pony I now know as Celestia.
Everyone gasped as Twilight pulled on my sleeve.
"What are you doing!?" She whispers shouted as she looked at me in shock.
"What do you think? I'm greeting the Princess." I explained as I smiled at her.
"I can see that! But you cant greet Princess Celestia like that!" She whispers shouted again as she looked back at Celestia.
"I'm really sorry Princess! You see he's not from our world and he didnt mean to greet you like that and...and--" Twilight started to apologize in my favor but she stopped once she saw Celestia giggle.
"Oh its fine Twilight. No harm done" Celestia told the lavander pony as she looked at me now. She along with the other midnight blue pony walked towards me. I was suprised she was as tall as I am. But her horn gave her the height advantage.
"Greetings, Tomz. I am Princess Celestia and this is my younger sister Princess Luna. We are the rulers of Equestria and we welcome you to our world." Celestia greeted me as I nodded at her.
"Well thank you very much, Princess. Twilight told me that you and your sister wanted to speak with me?" I asked her.
"We did yes. I am Princess Luna. Tis also a pleasure to meet thee Tomz, Guardian of realms." Luna greeted me. It seems Twilight told them what I do.
"It's nice to meet you as well dear. Well If you want to know more about me. I'm happy to tell you what I know." I told the midnight pony.
"But of course. You must be hungry, come let us head to the dining room" Celestia told us as we all agreed. At that moment my stomach growled a little as everyone giggled.
"Hehehe looks like somepony is hungry. What is thou diet Tomz? Luna asked me as she looked at me.
"I'm an omnivore and before you even ask no I won't eat any of your subjects" I answered them as the two princesses nodded.
We reached a dining room to reveal a big table surrounded by chairs. Celestia and Luna sat at the head of a table while the rest of us sat just like we did on the train. I saw another empty seat at the other end of a table so I decided to ask.
"Who seats over there?" I asked as I pointed at the empty chair.
But before Celestia could answer the door of the dining room burst open to reveal a white-furred unicorn stallion with a short blonde mane and white expensive suit. He was walking like he owned the place with his head held high.
"Auntie Celestia, I still do not understand why you won't let me attend the meeting in Saddle Arabia!" The unicorn stallion asked her
I turned my attention to both Celestia and Luna. I saw both of them tried to keep themselves calm. Celestia took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Like I told you last time Blueblood. You weren't invited and it's a royal business only."
Celestia answered him with a stern face and a glare. "Do I make myself clear?"
The pony I now know as Blueblood nodded to her with a scuff and sat down in the empty chair. He then looked at us.
"Twilight" He greeted her.
"Blueblood" Twilight greeted him through her teeth.
"Elements" He greeted the rest of Twilights friends who only nodded at him with small glares pointed his way.
"Miss Rarity" Blueblood greeted Rarity who to my surprise turned her head away from him and crossed her arms. She looked angry.
...it seems they don't like him too much.
"So...who's the blonde, white and spoiled over there?" I whispered to Rainbow.
"That's Princ Blueblood, The Princesses Nephew" Rainbow answered me as she glared daggers at him.
Blueblood then let out a girlish scream as he pointed at me.
"Ahhh!!! Auntie, what kind of monstrosity is that!?" Blueblood shouted. "Why didnt you threw it in the dungeon where it belongs!"
"Blueblood, this is Tomz, he is a guest and a friend to Twilight and the Elements," Celestia told him as I saw she tried her best to keep her composure.
"What!? You would invite a beast into the castle and even befriend one! Surely you jest Auntie!" Blueblood said in shock as he pointed at me.
I took this time to introduce myself as I grinned at him
"Greetings Blueblood. My name is--"
"That's Princ Blueblood to you foul beast. I'm a Princ and I will be treated with respect." He said as he cut me off.
I glanced at Luna and saw she was close to blowing a fuse. The doors of the kitchen soon opened as maids brought us our food. The ponies had some vegetarian-based meal while I had, to my surprise spaghetti with meatballs.
I was about to start eating but Blueblood started shouting again.
"This Monster eats meat!!? You would invite a carnivore to our castle!?"
"Im an Omnivore, actually. So calm yourself" I told him as I took the utensils and sliced the meatballs to smaller peaces.
One maid brought Blueblood his food but the snob princ took the food and smashed into the maid's face. The poor girl fell on the ground as her uniform was now stained from the soup she was giving.
"You dare bring me this filth of a soup! While this monstrosity seats and dines with us!?
Blueblood shouted at the maid. The poor girl could only put her face in her hands as she started crying.
I had enough of this. I stood up walked to Blueblood grabbed his head with one hand and slammed it into the table, while I held his arm above his head and slowly applied pressure.
"Now you listen to me very carefully." I started to speak as I got close to his face. My voice then becomes dark and disoriented
"If I see you do something like that again, to anyone else. No matter who they are, I will rip off your dick and shove it so far up your ass you'll be coughing cum for weeks!!"
Blue blood started to nod rapidly as he looked at me in fear.
"O-okay, okay!! I won't do anything like that again! I promise." Blueblood begged me
If your lying I'll break the other one"
"The other one----"
*CRACK*
"AGHHH!!!" Blueblood shouted in agony as I broke his wrist. He fell out of the chair as I saw a small puddle forming underneath him. The guy peed himself. He then stood up and ran out of the dining room.
I walked towards the maid as Iean down towards her.
"Its okay dear. He's gone. Can you tell me your name, darling" I asked her.
The pony had brown fur with a white mane. She had green eyes and a pair of wings on her back. She slowly looked up at me and slowly nodded.
"M-my name is S-Sugar Rain s-sir." He told me as she sniffed.
I whipped away her tears as I looked at her.
"Alright Sugar, I want you to wash up and change and go home for the rest of the day, okay sweetheart?"
She looked at me wide-eyed "B-But sir only the Princesses can-" She started but I stopped her.
"I don't want to hear it. You deserve it. Now run along dear" I told her as I grabbed her hand and lifted her up.
She looked at me and slowly nodded. She then gave me a quick hug. "T-thank you, sir" She then bowed to the princesses and left the room
Once I turned around and I saw everyone looking at me in shock and wide-eyed.
"That...was...Awesome!!!" Rainbow exclaimed as she cheered.
"Woah nelly you sure did show him," Applejack said surprised.
"While I disagree with violence, I must say that you really did...let us say kick his flank," Rarity told me as I sat back down in my seat.
"You know injuring royalty is a crime correct?" Celestia told me as she leaned closer to the table.
"Hey don't give me that. The guy deserved it with his spoiled behavior. If he is a prince he should know better" I answered Celestia as I took a bite out of my spaghetti.
"Usually I would arrest you but since Blueblood had this coming I can let it slide this time. Oh and please dont be so rough on anypony else." Celestia told me.
I raised my hands in the air. "No promises"
With that, we finally started eating our food. I asked Celestia where did she get the meat from and she told me that they have a griffin chef just in case an ambassador from another country who is a carnivore comes to Equestria.
I was pleased with this answer as I sucked up the information. After the food, Celestia offered us all guest bedrooms to stay for the night. I thanked her as I went into my assigned bedroom and flopped on the bed.
"I see you showed him who's boss" I heard Sam told me.
"I didnt showed him anything. All I did was gave him a lecture and a warning" I responded
"It looked like it work. I never really seen you that mad before. You gave Charlie quite a scare" Sam told me as I sighed.
"I did? Ohhhh now I feel bad. Thanks for ruining the mood Sam." I told him
"Hey, Charlie...you doing okay? I'm sorry if I scared you" I apologized to her
"I-Its okay, Tomz. I-I just didnt expect that. Charlie told me with that shy voice of hers.
"You sure you're doing okay?" I asked with worry. I never wanted to scare her.
Its okay Tomz, I'm fine. Don't worry about me" Charlie responded to me as I nodded in understanding
I looked out of the window as I see the moon slowly rise in the sky.
"Celestia and Luna said they wanted to talk to me about something. I'll guess I'll find out tomorrow" I thought to myself as I layed down on the bed and fell asleep
