Time is Magic

I reenter the portal, and my human form returns to me. At least I can use magic again! Luna also transforms this time, into a young woman with purple hair!

“What are thy customs pertaining to modesty? Should we cover our hair?” Luna asks me as we both float a few feet off the ground in my room.

“Yeah, that would be wise,” I reply as Luna does just that, conjuring a shawl to place on her head that conforms with the modesty rules of my community. Looking around my room for a minute, I collect a few of my essential items and pack them into my backpack; namely my books, the letter that the other Luna wrote me, and my crudely drawn map of Equestria.

“Noah, what the hell is taking you so long to get out of be-,” My mother says, entering my room before noticing that her SON is floating a few feet off the ground with another woman with purple hair.

“Wh… what… what’s going on?!”, freaking out that her firstborn son is floating and seemingly using magic to put his things away, not to mention the portal in my bedroom!

“Well, Madam Weinstein, thy son is an immortal alicorn of time and space, and we are collecting his belongings to prepare for his imminent coronation!” Luna says, as my mother falls flat on the floor. Quickly acting, I used my magic to place her on my bed a few moments before she would have.

“My word, Noah. What happened to you? Who is this strange woman?!”, trying not to totally lose her composure.

“Oh, that’s Princess Luna, Mom!” My sister Rivka says, quickly coming into my room to make sure our mom is okay.

“Wait, you know this woman? What is wrong with both of you!?”, a bit concerned that her two children know who this mysterious woman is.

“Yeah, we both went on a magical adventure two years ago to save another universe. It was really cool!” Rivka says, reminiscing about her time as a pegasus. “I was able to fly! It was so cool!”

“A magical what now?!”

“Do the thing, Jewnicorn.” Luna says authoritatively, as I place my hand on my mother’s head, copying all of my memories, all ten millennia of them, into my mother’s brain. Quick spell Luna taught me around year 956 of frozen time!

My mother sheds a tear. “This...this pony has cared for you for ten thousand years? You… you fought someone who was dangerous to us and won? Why didn’t you tell me!?”

I laugh. “If I told you, you would have called me crazy, and I had Rivka’s memory wiped to save her any trauma, but Luna over here undid all that, since I am getting crowned as a prince in thirty days!”

My mom begins to cry. “But...Noah. You are immortal now. You won’t see any of us in a few short decades. That’s like a minute for you! Do you even love us anymore?!”, embracing me tightly as if I was leaving forever.

“Be at ease, Madam Weinstein. All will be okay with thy son. We merely wished to invite thee to the coronation in Equestria. That is all.”

“Well, I guess I’ll come, but turning me into a pony seems a bit weird, doesn’t it? Does transforming hurt?”

My sister laughs: “No, mom, it doesn’t. I got to fly, so maybe you will be able to fly, too? To be honest, I am not sure if you will become a unicorn or a pegasus, because that’s what we turned into.”

Only one way to find out, no? I float upwards a bit, still startling my mother, and fly through the portal. Luna follows suit, and so does my sister.

“Well, I am scared out of my wits, but my whole family just went through this portal like it was no big deal. Might as well!”, walking through the portal, which promptly closes behind her. I look behind me, to see that my mother, too, turns into a purple pegasus pony, although one of a darker shade of purple than my sister. Her cutie mark is that of a scale and gavel, as she’s a lawyer.

“You look great!” I say to my mother, who looks horrified that she has wings and hooves.

“You really think so? Can...can I fly?”

She experimentally flaps her wings and stomps her hooves a few times, succeeding after a few tries.

“Um, YEAH, you can fly, mom!” Rivka pipes in, flying above us in circles, elated to be a pegasus once again!

“We are glad to see that thy children are happy, madam Weinstein. Now. to discuss more important matters.”, as we all fly towards Celestia’s estate to prepare for the coming coronation.

Maritime Bay: 2250 CE

It was another calm night in Maretime Bay, and Sunny Starscout had many questions for her father about this “Jewnicorn” legend she heard a few nights prior. Brushing her teeth and doing some last-minute things before going to bed, Sunny went to her diary shortly after and began to write.

“Dear Princess Twilight,

I know you are still alive because alicorns can’t die. I have been writing questions for you if I am ever fortunate enough to meet you one day. I do suppose that will only happen if I’m able to reunite all of ponykind. Anyways, my dad told me a story about a “Jewnicorn” a few nights ago, and I am quite intrigued by this. Were there REALLY humans in Equestria? A stallion alicorn? Why hasn’t everypony heard of him? Did you know him? Were you two friends?”

“I have so many more questions to ask you, but my dad wants me to go to bed. I can squeeze in one more for you. My dad found a feather in Maretime Bay a few weeks ago, and he claims that it belongs to you. Do...do you come and visit us? Leave a sign? Anyways, time for bed. I REALLY want to meet you one day!

Your faithful student,

Sunny Starscout”

Sunny finishes her last touches on her diary entry and climbs into her bed, where Argyle Starshine was already waiting for his daughter.

“I saw you were busy writing your letter to Princess Twilight. Didn’t want to disturb you.” He says, tucking his daughter under the covers.”

“Do you really think that feather belongs to Princess Twilight? Why would she come and visit an Earth Pony village?” Sunny asks her father, intrigued to hear his educated opinion on the matter.

Frankly, Argyle did not know what the feather was, or who it belonged to, but he held hope for both himself and his daughter’s sake that it was an Alicorn feather. “I think that maybe Princess Twilight wanted to see my artifacts? She must have come over while I was sleeping, like the Tooth Pony!” He says with a hearty chuckle. “I love you Sunny. Sweet Dreams!” Argyle says, embracing his daughter and returning to his study, as Sunny begins to fall asleep.
