Somewhere in the Multiverse...

It was, hilariously, The Dovahkiin's idea to start with. After saving Skyrim from Alduin and becoming the 'Hero of the Land', he would often go across Tamriel, searching for more bosses to fight and more Norse sites to loot. In one of these sites, he found an orb that would, if used, supposedly bring about the end of the world—Or turn the moon into cheese, translation was rocky. However, this didn't deter the Dovahkiin, who used it and ended up getting sucked into a solid white room. After about 20 mins of waiting, another person fell in, a large green metal man wielding a very powerful bow with a small blue lady in his palm. As they talked, he found his name to be Chief and the blue lady Cortana.

After a few more people fell through portals, a blocky human, a soldier that looked akin to the Chief—Albeit with more demon blood on him), a treasure hunter, and a cloaked white figure with a hidden blade. After they all gathered together to talk it out, Cortana eventually deduced that they each found the same orb that brought them here. After a full hour of walking, they found what looked to be a hotel lobby, with an infinity bar to the left, a group of dorms to the right, and a room full of portals to their respective worlds. The Dovahkiin got them that they were supposed to be a group of explorers to other worlds, and as a person from each world came into their group, their series of portals would open. Everyone scoffed at this until a small red plumber popped out through the sky, and his group of portals lit up.

With this, The Dovahkiin gathered them around a round table, so they can discuss how to go about this. They eventually formed a Group—Name to be discussed later—that would go out and explore, protect, and generally do random stuff in general.

This was over 20 years ago. Their Group had grown immensely, with over 200 members and thousands of portals to be explored. The original 7 became the de facto leaders of their Group and handled everything as needed. While some opted to stay for a while in their pocket dimension (Steve said if he met another zombie he would just light this entire place with TNT), others sought the adventure of these new portals, especially one treasure hunter in particular...

Nathan Drake was not an idle man. Out of the Core 7 members of his Group, he was often the one most active and usually took the charge of exploring all the new worlds. He had managed to find his home portal, and bring over his brother, Sully, Elena, and their daughter to his new Group, and usually, they tolerated his random excursions—Sully was especially fine when he showed him the infinity stash of beer and wine. One day, he was exploring the backwoods of Scotland, digging through old castles, when he found a new one not seen before.

"Well, it's not every day you see a full city-castle on the side of a mountain."

This mountain, Mount Canterhorn, was very well known to the locals. However, no one had ever tried to explore it before. The dense fog from London would rise up and make its way here, making it impossible to see and very dangerous to climb it. Couple that with almost daily rockslides, and you had a one-way ticket to the Great Beyond if you tried to climb it. However, Nathan wasn't deterred. Working with the Eagle Vision he learned from his cloaked buddy, he had skillfully dodged every falling rock through the fog, and eventually broke through the clouds, only to find a previously-undiscovered location. With this in mind, he set up a temporary portal, took his brother and Sully, and brought them to the top.

"You can say that again kid."

"How do we get inside though?"

The problem with entering this castle was clear. The immediate entrance was blocked by a rock slide. The mountain it was hanging on was so steep and so wet,It seemed that there was a waterfall on the side of the mountain that it was unclimbable.

"Wait, kid, there, do you see it?"

Nathan brought up his binoculars and saw what Sully was pointing to. It seemed that on the side of the wall that was hanging out, a blasted out hole was formed, likely through some explosive going off. Above that was one of the towers of the castle, its roof blew up. Nodding to each other, they began to climb the castle walls, before shimmying their way across and entering the inner courtyard. They then took out their grappling hooks and slowly climbed the wall of the tower, before entering the inner room.

"Wow, this place is in need of a cleanup."

It looked like a bar fight happened. Broken tables, smashed bottles, and clothes strew about. As they flicked on their flashlights, Sam pointed his at a hanging pennant, "Look".

It seemed to be the crest of the castle, a Sun and a moon, in a yin and yang style shape. "That must be the crest of whoever owned this castle, though it's not one that I remember in the books." As Sully and Sam continued walking, Nathan pulled out his notebook, then drew the crest and some note on the side.

"Hey kid, look 'er." As Nathan's head looked up, Sully pointed to a notebook on the table. It looked to be a journal, yielding the same symbol as the crest. Sam took some pictures of it, before slowly opening the journal and reading the first page, "Property of Her Highness of the Moon, Princess Luna."

"Luna? Doesn't sound like any princess I heard about."

"Sam, you and I should stay here and keep looking around this room. Nate, you can start looking downstairs for more clues as to what this place is."

"Can do Sully." As Sam and Sully began reading the journal, Nathan began his descent down the tower. When he reached the ground floor, he found himself in a dimly lit corridor. Valuing light over preservation, he began smashing the dusty windows to let in the Summer light. As he continued, he found himself at a crossroad. There were two ways, 'Throne Room' and 'Church'. He was about to start his way down the route through the throne room when he slipped on something and fell. "Ow! The fuck was that?"

As he stood up and dusted himself off, he shone his flashlight on the ground to see what he slipped on. Bones?

Bones, and lots of them as well. He found more of them and saw that they lead all the way to the Church. As he began to sift through the bones, he came across the head of one of them. "Well I'll be, it's a fucking horse skull."

"Alright Nate, let's think about this," He began to talk to himself, "You managed to climb a previously unclimbable mountain, found an undiscovered castle and crest. You took your friend and brother, left them in the study of an unknown princess, and now you find horse bones that lead to a Church..."

"Well," He began, "Can't be worse than Mars and The Marine." He began to walk down the corridor, finding all sorts of odds-and-ends on the corpses while following the path. "Guard armor by the looks of it, suits, dresses, and is this solid gold?!?!" He picked up a purse on one of the corpses, opened it, and found what looked to be solid gold coins, 18 karat, 1 inch in diameter, and the inscription reads 'In Celestia we trust'. Who the hell is Celestia?

He pocketed the coins, before continuing on his way. At the end of the corridor, he found what looked to be the main chapel. As he looked around, he found more horse skeletons in the pews, some in suits and dresses. In the middle, he found a wedding gown, a groom's suit, and the skeletons of a large horse with wings and a horn.

"Aw damn, the unlucky guy was getting married, I should tell Su-WAIT, WINGS AND HORNS??" He spun around, making sure to rub his eyes to prove he wasn't hallucinating. "Holy shit, it has wings and horns. I better tell Sam and Sully." Snapping a few pictures to prove he wasn't lying or going insane, he began to run back to Sam and Sully. He slammed the door open, shushed his brother, and proceeded to show them the pictures he found.

"Well, I'll be damned, it's a fucking Alicorn."

"You know these things, Sully?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.

"They're mythological, said to be a mix of a pegasus and a unicorn," Sully explained.

"Oh, well that makes sense."

"Sense? SENSE?!?! How can you two believe that this makes sense?" Nathan exasperated.

"Kid, you've been to a world with demons, a 2D cartoon world, and a world where everything is made of blocks. How are you surprised?"

"Because all of those things were at least human! Steve barely resembles a human, and Mario is just a short human. This is a fucking horse!?!?!"

"...eh, I'll give you that."

"...anyways, what did you two find in this journal?"

"Well, we were just about to call you about that. Apparently, this place is a city called Canterlot, and the two leaders of it were Princess Luna and Princess Celestia."

"However," Sam began, "according to the journal, something happened to the Princesses and their subjects during a wedding, and all of them died in it."

"Yeah, I saw it. The church had hundreds of skeletons of these horses running from something."

"Wait kid, look at this," Sully held up the journal. "It's the last journal entry, looks to be dated the day of this wedding:

7/11
Princess Cadence and Shining Armour's wedding

To the reader of this entry,
I have no time to explain what transpired here, the screams of my subjects are slowly coming closer, and I must defend them to the best of my ability. I will head to the Throne Room with my sister, and we shall try to defeat the foul beast that struck today, though I fear it may be in vain.

The Element Bearers are dead, killed in the defense of the city. With it, our most powerful source of defense is gone. Without them, there is little hope in defeating the enemy. If you read this, take my journal, and take the orb I have in my drawer, and bring them to the Throne Room. There, utter the spell I have written, and all will be explained.

After re-reading the journal seven-times over, Nathan walked over to the Princesses drawer and took out the orb mentioned. "Huh, it's the exact same one that brought me to The Group."

"Kid, you're not actually going to try this, are you?"

"Well, yeah. I've already fought demons, an alien alliance hell-bent on killing Humanity, and a teleporting-dragon. Doing stuff with magic is like second-fiddle to what I have done."

"I think we should at least check it out Sully," Sam said approvingly.

"Alright then, but if this blows up in our faces, I'm high-tailing it outta here."

The three men nodded, before taking the journal, the orb, and making their way downstairs. They continued down the hallway, taking a right to the Throne Room, and occasionally having to stop Sully from taking anymore 'souvenirs' ("Sully, they're corpses! Don't disrespect the dead!") and eventually made their way to the Throne Room. What they found shocked them to the very core. "Jesus Christ, what happened here?!?!"

It looked like a massacre. Pony skeletons piled on both sides of the Throne Room. In the middle, a huge scorch wave was the only remnant of what seemed to be a very chaotic and explosive battle. There were guard bodies everywhere, scorch marks and blast marks scarring their bones. In the middle of the scorch, the wave held three more alicorn bodies. one looks disfigured, like ash. It held signs of necrotic disfiguration, with its bones being a harsh black shade. Next to it stood another alicorn body. In stark contrast to the other body, this once maintained a regal white color. Its body held in pristine light with a sense of formality to it.

"Look, there's another body at the door." Sully pointed to another alicorn body at the doors of the Throne Room. Much like the 2nd body, this one was also clean, it's midnight blue clearly evident in the summer light. It gave off a sense akin to the first body, with its dark color and imposing armor, but also carried with it a sense of regality akin to the second body.

"So," Sam began, "We're now in the Throne Room. What are we supposed to do?"

"Well," Nathan answered, "we're supposed to utter this spell that's written on the journal." Pulling out Luna's journal, he began to read off what was written.

Ph'nglui yaah ot n'ghftyar, Y' ah'r'luh ghostly mgn'ghft l' fahf n'gha'agl
“In the name of the night, I cast the ghostly light upon this tomb”

As Nate finished reading off the incantation, a midnight blue swirl began to pick up around them. It swirled above the room, slowly gathering in size. After reaching its largest position, it began to collapse upon itself until it exploded in a shower of light. When the dust settled, the three men coughed out the smoke and shone their flashlights at the ground where the light was.

"Well..." Nate began.

"It's a blue pony," Sam finished for him. "A fucking blue pony."

"Alicorn."

"What?" Sam remarked.

The blue alicorn stood, dusted itself off, then cleared its throat. "Alicorn. I am an alicorn, good sir. Not a pony."

"My name is Princess Luna."
