04/17 midnight

???? Pov.

One... Thousand... One thousand fucking years completely stoned... No! Not that kind of stoned ya hippie, I mean I was petrified alá medusa's gase for 1.000 years with nothing to do but stare as everything and everyone around me change

oh and here's the kicker they put me in the middle of a labyrinth, yeah not only was I a statue but no one Could find me and if they did they turn tail and run, I mean... Not cool man... Not cool...

At any ho, your probably wondering how I ended up in this situation... Well long story short I was enjoying a game con. Cosplaying as my favorite persona Izanagi from SMT: Persona 4, sure he's not the strongest, but he sure is the coolest, not including the game breaking mechanics from Golden Izanagi becames weak to useless after the second boss, which is ironic considering he's portrait like a total badass in the anime, and that's why he's my favorite in gameplay he's garbage but in lore and anime... He's a kick ass demi-god who had more than 13 children and created earth... Yeah... And to think he's your first persona...

Any way I was minding my own business as usual wen this shmuck dressed as the merchand from RE4 sold me a deck of tarou cards, and after a power nap I awoke in the middle of a squabble between a Q and too winged unicorns and before I could even start to process what's going on BOOM!!!

I am a statue... In a labyrinth... For a thousand years... *Sigh* fucking pony...

"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU PSYCHOS!!!"

.........

welp so much for my peace and quiet and i sure hope is someone who can put me out of this mind-fuck

3° Person Pov.

It was midnight, the moon was full, the air was clear, and something terrific was about to happen... Right at the Canterlot's castle gardens, under everypony's snout...

"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU PSYCHOS!!!"

The castle gardens a beautiful site to behold especially at night, that is if it wasn't for tree foolish royal-guards from the solar unit chasing a female Thestral with very ill intensions

"GET BACK HERE WE JUST WANT TO TALK!!!" Said one of the guards wearing a Golden armor full of medals he totally didn't cheat to get it

"LIKE I WOULD TRUST STUPID DAY DUELERS LIKE YOU BASTARDS" she screams back in anger still not believing in what's going on here 'I need to hide and quick' she thought as she try to escape from these sorry excuses of a royal-guard, they're supposed to be honored, responsible, heroic and righteous, and yet... THIS! is happening and right under everypony's snout, the princesses are on diplomatic affairs in hollow shades, the solar guards doesn't do anything for reasons and the night guard isn't active yet... She was not getting help anytime soon...

So she ran for dear life, jumping and sliding dodging shot's of stun spells, antil she's spot a suitable hidden spot 'the labyrinth perfect' "AH!!!" she screamed as a stun spell pass close to her face, then she put everything on one last mad dash for a possible salvation... If only she knew...

Labyrinth: Center

As the Thestral entered the heart of the labyrinth she looks around for the pursuers, but relaxes as she doesn't see the starving Wolfs in pony cloth, but she froze immediately as she looks forward and finely noticed IT...

Right there in the middle of the clearing, the statue of a creature she never saw in her entire life, just standing there, meaningsily, staring down at her, like he could see her very soul... 'come down Moonlight blade is just a statue, your safe now...' "*sigh* by the moon..."

"THERE SHE IS!!!"the voice of imminent doom boomed throughout the maze, making the Thestral's heart stop for a hole second, making her face go pale as a ghost

'sweet luna pls have mercy' she cried internally but before she could ran further a stun spell connected to her side knocking her so hard to the ground it actually mange to raise some dust

"CAREFUL YOU IDIOT I STILL WANT TO HAVE MY FUN WITH HER" the guard barked in indignation making the one who shot her flinch

"S-sorry captain but she was gonna ran off again..." the second guard responded in fear

"Don't make me kick your flank back to boot camp private"the captain said clearly angry with his subordinate slip up

"Please calm down cap.steel she's fine... she can not move, but that's the idea right?" The third guard said surprisingly calm with the whole thing

"Right right... Now, shall we?" The captain said walking slowly towards the Thestral

"N-n-no s-stay back" she begged crawling away from her final destination

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you... Much..." The captain said with malice in his voice as the other two guards chuckled maniacally

"s-somepony p-p-please a-a-anypony s-save me..."as time slow down to a crawl,she shut her eyes in fear waiting for the slow and painful death... But then... A voice echoed through her mind like in a catedral...

I AM THOU...
THOU ART I...
THE TIME HAS COME...
OPEN THINE EYES, AND CALL FOURTH WHAT IS WITHIN...

"...wha-!?"*CRACK* everypony froze, as they slowly look up to the one thing that could have made such a sound, and to their horror there was a large crack on the statue's head

The Thestral widen her eyes as a word she never heard of before, comes in front of her mind begging to be pronounced out loud and prideful like a primordial call to the heavens

"...per-......-so-......-na!"

Then at the sound of breaking glass the statue was engulfed in blue flames of inferno scarying everypony half to death, and as the flames died down the image of a creature could be made, his pitch-black cloak flows through the wind like a pirate flag, his huge deadly halberd hold tight in his sharp metal claws, and his silver mask holds yellow-golden eyes caring a glare that could kill a basilisk

"So..." He said with a tone so cold that send a chill in everypony's spine "Who dies first?..." no pony dared to move an inch, hoping he followed the t-rex rule, unfortunately for them... He didn't

He stepped down from the altar he was placed and glared at the tree poor souls in front of him, then he looked back at the frightened Thestral which flinch upon his gaze "don't worry kid, your on the clear, although... stared back at the tree soon to be break guards with a wrathful glare "can't say the same for you assholes..."

Said guards just stand there staring at him with wide eyes, probably still trying to understand what happened and what's going on, well too bad for them because the creature proceeded to point his weapon at the second guard the one who shot the Thestral "how about you?..." he asked coldly, said guard just yep'd and ran literally with the tail between his legs

"WHAT THE!? GET BACK HERE YA--"*KABROOM* but before the captain could even finish his sentence, came a giant lightning bolt from the heavens and hit the fleeing guard directly, everypony covered covered their eyes from the sudden change of brightness and after the sound of huge amounts of electricity been contacted and screams of pain and agony there was a torturing silence, they slowly uncovered thier eyes and stared in shock at the scene in front of them...

There in place of the fleeing guard stood a black smoking form of a pony, he stayed there for a good 3 seconds before coughing a black cloud of smoke and finely falling to the ground like a tree, they looked back at the creature to see him with a fully stretched arm and open claw pulsing with sparks of electricity

"YOU BASTARD!!!" The captain screeched jumping towards the creature twisting his body in the air to deliver a powerful flying kick, to his miss fortune however the creature simply side-stepped easily avoiding his attack he then raised his weapon grabbing it with both claws and brought down the non bladed part like a spear... *CRACK* Right in his back...

If you have a good hearing you could get the sound of bones being cracked and spine being broken... In half, the captain screamed from top of his lungs from the insane amount of pain for impressive 2 seconds before going unconscious from the mental shock, then a stun spell hit the creature right in the head

The creature slowly turned his gaze to the one who dared shot him, the third guard with a slightly smoking horn and a look of surprise, "w-wha!?..." the creature then appeared right in front of him in a blur of movement and grabbed him by the neck, bring him to eye level he stared at the pony struggling to fight for air "hmmm... If i am to quote an old friend of mine..." he raised the pony a little higher with his left arm and brought back his right arm closing his claw to form a fist... an electric powered iron fist "GOTCHA!" he then punched him not once, not twice, but tree times followed by a hook which cracked his jaw, ripped off a few teeth and launched the pony high into the air, as he comes down the creature transfered the power from his right claw to his left leg he kicked the him in the jaw, cracking it even more and ripping out the rest of his teeth, as he fly's even higher the creature proceeded to make some leg stretches and as pony comes down he jumped forward in a spin and landed a powerful kick in his body, sending the poor unicorn flying like a missile towards the sky and with a glint he was gone...

"hmph... How's that for some stomping?" the creature asks mockingly grabbing his weapon and spinning it until it rested in his shoulder, then he remembered "oh! Right the girl, sheesh i almost forgot" he then looked back at the Thestral only to find her completely out cold, after an epic facepalm that could have gone through his skull he thought '*sigh* real smooth jack-ass, you scared her to death with your "impressive" moves, what's next pup kicking?' he sighed heavily and walked towards the fallen mare, he then sit right beside her, weapon on his side arms and legs crossed just waiting for her to wake up

And after a good hour of her not waking up he noticed the presence of another hiding somewhere, watching them from the shadows "took you long enough, I was starting to wander wen you might appear... Moon butt..." after a hole second a pony with wings and a horn portraying a dark blue coat and night star mane walked from her hiding spot, "how did thou escaped from thy imprisonment foul creature of chaos?" she asked in a tone sooo serious it would make bat-man proud

"one: i have NOTHING to do with that annoying prick, two: i answered her s.o.s waaaaaaay sooner than you and pummeled those idiots, so I am just waiting for her to wake up to make sure she's fine" he responded clearly annoyed with her accusation, and still pretty pissed with the petrification part

She took a minute to consider his words before replying "so if thou is not related with him were did thou spawned from?" she asked the big question, normally i would tell her straight away with hopes of maybe finding my way home, but...

"your highness, in this world there are secrets that shall NEVER! be revealed to a soul, were i come from is one of them" he responded with the most sirius tone he could muster, which isn't much

She didn't want to admit but he had a point, there were hundred if not thousands of secrets that shall remain hidden, but still... "very well... but we must know, are thou a threat to our subjects?" she asked looking at the fainted Thestral, he followed her gase to the mare by his side and after some thinking he chuckled and shuck his head, looking back at the monarch he responded "if you count pick up lines, snuggles and possibly adult play as a threat, than yes I am a menace" he responded jokingly chuckling a bit at his own sense of humor

There as half a minute pause before the princess responded "w-well... we believe... we both had a bad start... shall we... start over?" she asked hesitantly and... Hopefully?

The creature looked at her for 5 hole seconds before finely replying "name's Izanagi..." she looked at him genuinely confused, perhaps she wasn't expecting him to give her his name or she was expecting something else, probably the lather "and what would be yours my lady?" she looked at him for a second before saying "princess Luna, alicorn of the night and guardian of dreams" she said it with so much pride and elegance that manege to pull a whistle from him

"Izanagi, may i ask what do you plan to do now?" she asked the really good question, he looked down at the mare then at the defeated guards than back to luna

"say... you wouldn't happen to have a free spot on your night guards do you?" she looked at him than at the mare then back at him, than back at the mare again, and again at him

they stared at each other for what feels like hours but It was actually 2 seconds before the princess smirked with glee "if we're to quote a good friend of ours..." she then got close and stretched out a hoof

"does thou except our friendship?" he looked at her hoof then turned his gaze to her beautiful blue eyes and if it wasn't for his mask you could see him smile like a monkey, before grabbing her hoof and shaking it lightly "i would be honored and happy to be your friend"

THE NEXT NIGHT...

Izanagi's Pov.

Ya know... I never thought I would be this worried about someone I don't even know...

I mean luna filled me up about her, but there's a character in paper and another totally different one in person

But still... The things she had to endure...

You see according to luna a little after the nightmare fiasco, the Thestrals were treated like...

Well... Remember the darkness age? Imagine that but instead of only woman, all Thestrals in general, and instead of a which, fucking vampires, and instead of curses and hexes, blood magic...

Yeah... And you thought DC was dark...

.........

Actually scratch that, DC is more fucked up, looking at you DC metal

Anyway back on track, the reason for my worry is because she's being out cold for 20 hours now,

I mean... Sure my 'bone breaking' skills are quite 'shocking' and 'out of this world' but come on!

Thestrals are supposed to be that tough underdog cousin who drinks, swears, and pick up bar fights... right?

.........???

Oh! She's waking up! Hope I don't knock her out with my good looks... Again...

Moonlight Blade Pov.

"...nmmm..." ow... My head... What happened...? Ugh... Did somepony hit me with a warhammer? I try to get up but I winced in pain prooobably a hang over... Dear luna I knew I shouldn't have gone hit the bar...

......... !?... !!!

What the!? Why is that.... THING! Doing in my room??? Actually now that I noticed... WHY I AM IN THE MEDICAL WING!!?? "WHA---" before I could even start to scream he put his... Claw... In my mouth preventing me from doing so...

"ói, come down will ya, I am not gonna hurt you" he said trying to... calm me down? Wut?? Like whaaa??? Is he real? Am I dead?? Is he death???

"look kid, I know that you're afraid as all hell but listen to me I. Will NOT. Hurt you... Ok? I look at him dead in the eye but there's no malice, no lust, no any kind of corruption, just... Is that worry? Why is he worry about me? Is... Is it because I freed him? Or...

"now... I will take my claw out, and you will NOT scream, and then we have a talk how does it sound? I look away for a second before returning my gaze to him and slowly nodded once

We stared at each other for a second before he slowly took of his claw from my mouth, dear mercy full luna... He's scary as tartarus...

.........

.........

The silence was killing and supreme, that is until he politely cleared his throat and started "well... Perhaps we had a bad start... Let's try it again shall we?" he said with enthusiasm at the last segment...

Wut...

"Let's start with a simple introduction, I'm Izanagi, I am 21 years old(or I guess 1021 years...), Were I came from is a secret, and my dream I can't say out loud cause that would be embarrassing and inappropriate... Ok now is your turn"

"oh! Uhhh... W-well... I'm Moonlight Blade... A-and I'm 17 years old... I-i'm from Hollow Shade's... And... Ahm... M-my dream is... P-personal..."

He keeps staring at me, sweet luna he's creepy, what is he thinking? Kind of hard to tell with that mask... That's mask right? He shrugs before replying "well, then you're in luck 'cause luna put me to keep an eye on ya"

......... WHAT!!?? "WHAT!!??"

How???why???when???.........huhhh??????? Now he's laughing his head of... WHAT THE BUCK IS GOING ON!!?? "HAHAHA man, that face was just priceless, seriously I didn't know ponies could be THAT expressive" he's ceased his laugh and pulled a scroll from his cloak and offered to me "here, if you don't believe my word than how about the princess's"

.........

I snatch the scroll from his claw and opened only to confirm my fears, there is no doubt about it the royal seal, the princess writing, this IS official... He's a night guard... Assigned to... Watch over me? I looked up at him and he simpled shrugged, he's okay with this?

"well, i thought it would be cool and... Considering what was about to happen to you... I guessed you would need some help to recover" wait... What does he mean by that did something happened to me last night?

Then i remembered... It hit me like a dagger to the heart, those three buckers... They were going to... I tightened my grip on the scroll and started sobing my tears falling uncontrollably, he seems to get on that because he suddenly hugged me... He... Hugged me...

He didn't said anything... I couldn't say anything... I just started crying not caring if somepony saw me like this... We stayed like this for what seems like hours, he hug petting me on the back, and me crying my eyes out...

There was an almost absolute silence the only sound being of my crys, when stopped crying my eyes were blood shot, my cheeks were puffed, and there was still traces of my tears, then he softly spoke "it's ok kid, don't worry your gonna be fine... I will see to that"

We separated separated and i look at him dead in the eye "P-promice?" he stares back with his yellow-golden eyes there was seriousness and hesitation behind them, he spoke in a low and grave tone "i absolute hate promises but... For you i can make an exception..."

"SAY IT! I need to hear it"

".........I swear"

You know for some time i been wishing for somepony special, somepony who would protect me from danger, somepony who would stay by my side no matter what... Could this be it? Could this be... My first true true friend?

.........

We keep glancing at each other for what seems like an eternity, looking for deviations and falsehoods... But there was none, he was saying the truth, that i can tell... I jumped wen i heard the sound of a door opening, wen i looked it was just the doctor entering the room

He looked at me and smiled "ah, i see your already awake good to know" his happy smile quickly become one off nervousness once he laid eyes on Izanagi "s-sir your gonna have to... *Ahem* leave the room for now, i need to double check on her to make sure she's fine"

"well then looks like i should split, i gonna see what moon butt is up to, see ya in a flash"He then got up and--DEAR LUNA HE'S TALL!!! Like he's twice Celestia's hight!--opened the window and put one leg out before looking back at me"don't sweat it kid it's just for a few minutes... I will be back" then he jumped out of view...

Izanagi... Your a enigma, you were imprisoned in stone for who knows how long, have unbelievable powers and could have easily Runaway and plot to conquer equestria... But... You stayed... To protect me... I could feel the smile on my face and the once tears of sorrow, becomes one of happy ness

.........

"...thank you...Friend"

Izanagi Pov.

Beneath my mask i smile, but not because of a joke or a smart snark or a successful tease...

I was smiling because... I was genuinely happy

because today i gained some thing i never in my life thought i could have...

"hpfmm... Your welcome... Friend..."

I was walking through the castle grounds wen something shiny and metallic fell in front of me...

Whoo... Shiny, i grabbed the thing and... Wait a sec... Is this?... IS THIS AN EVOKER!!!

And to my double chock everything around me began to distort and gain a green tone and... Is that static that I hear?

Then, I blink... And in place of the majestic Canterlot castle, there's a very tick, dark, menacing and possibly full of monsters Forest

.........

".........Fuck"

<----- To Be Continue...

Author's Note

Man... that took forever, can't wait to work on the next chapter, oh! And don't worry about adult stuff they are gonna be little to none, double sense jokes? Yes, monster getting impaled? yes but there won't be blood, sex? No but there will be ships and some hints,
Anyway hope you enjoyed my first try and really sorry if is too short and/or speed up, there are two reasons for that one: it's my first time writing for real, the second reason is because I see this history more in animation or comic than a word only book style, so... It will take forever to make, it will have A LOT of hiccups, but i think it will be totally worth it, see ya next time

P.s. and yes I will be using colors to distinguish the important characters cause it's cool and different, but for Izanagi i tried using black but it blender with the background making it hard to read so i will be using bars to distinguish him from the rest
