I could feel my ears very slightly twitch as light shone through the windows of the library.

"They did it! Go Twilight!" Spike was clearly ecstatic about this news. "Man, all that talking and I almost forgot that things were pretty bad out there. When do you think they'll be back?" He barely finished his sentenced before yawning. "Because, uh, I'm not sure how much longer I can stay awake."

"Adrenaline wearing off, right? Well I don't think it will take as long as it took them to bring the sun back." As if to prove my point, a flash of yellow light came from the open door behind me, followed by some familiar laughter. Before I could comment on how it was even quicker than I expected, Twilight began to shout.

"Wait, Princess-"

"Aaaah-" And then I was crushed.

Princess Celestia awkwardly rolled off the back of the creature that was just laying face down in the entrance to the library.

"Apologies. I didn't see you down there. Are you alright?" She was a little miffed, and very confused, but she figured she'd still be polite until she had a better idea of why everything was so strange today.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I don't think I had any pride left to lose anyway." He looked up at her as best he could from his place on the floor, and, wow. Those eyes were not like anything she had seen before. "I'm going to assume you are the solar sister, Princess Celestia? It's nice to meet you despite the circumstances your majesty." Very polite, besides taking up the walkway.

"This is the best day ever. We saved the day, brought back royalty, and we got to watch a real-life comedy all at the same time! All it would take to make this perfect would be a party and a Wonderbolts show."

"Yes! It's party time! We have to celebrate!" Yeah, Celestia wasn't in the mood for that.

"Perhaps Ms. Pie, we could save the festivities for another day? I believe we've much to talk about at the moment."

"That's okay! More time to plan and make it the best party EVER!" Good enough.

After everypony got settled on some cushions, with Spike putting a pillow under the strangers chin before curling under one of his large ears, Celestia decided it was time to try to bring back some order.

"So, first and foremost, sister, welcome back. I do not know if there are words that exist that could express how happy I am to see you again after all these years." Luna just smirked at her sister, and Celestia knew that she was enjoying her flustered state too much to properly reciprocate her feelings at the moment. It was okay though, they had all the time in the world now to be a family again. "Secondly, stranger, may I have your name?"

"Elfilis your majesty." Strange name. "I'm guessing that your next question is why I'm still laying on the floor?" Her next question was actually going to be for Twilight and the rest of her friends, but since he brought it up...

"Hehe, maybe you should ask Twilight why Princess. I'm sure she would love to share." Oh no, she thought, what did her student do? The Princess looked to Twilight and couldn't help but notice her blush as she tapped her hooves together. That was a nervous tick she never grew out of.

"UH, well, you see, we were, and then, penis-" Ignoring the laughter of the ponies around her Celestia just stared at her student and waited for her to collect herself before prompting her with a hoof to try again. She really needed to hear the full story. "Sorry Princess. We were all just about to leave the library but Elfilis was standing by the door when I opened it. I wasn't looking where I was going at first and when I turned around, well... my head only goes as high as his waist and I panicked! I'm sorry!" And Celestia was pretty sure where this was going now.

"You should have been there! 'The world could end if we don't stop Nightmare PENIS!' And then BOOM, Chastity Spell." And the element of loyalty confirms her fears, as well as answers the question she was most unprepared to ask everypony.

"Oh my gosh I called Princess Luna a penis nightmare!" And that was the final straw for Celestia's self-control. She didn't shout, she didn't yell, and she didn't throw anything across the room, she just silently cast a sound cancelling spell into the library as the ponies around her devolved into silent laughter and befuddlement. She needed a break. She missed her little spot on the sun.

I don't know how long we sat there in silence before the Princess undid whatever it was she did to kill all the sound. She was very clearly struggling to keep some measure of control over the conversation. And I did agree with what she was trying to do, as absurd as the day had been a serious conversation needed to take place. So I waited as she took a few minutes to take some very deep, completely soundless breathes before lightly trying to get her attention from the floor. She took one last breath before sound returned to the room. Rainbow Dash was still smiling wide with Pinkie, and Applejack and Fluttershy were hiding behind her hat and hair respectively, but everyone else seemed to have gained some measure of calm.

"Apologies Elfilis, allow me to undo that spell for you."

Luna was enjoying herself. She didn't know what to expect once that toxic hatred and ambition had been expunged from herself, but of all the things that could've happened, seeing her sister lose her composure in such a spectacular fashion wasn't one she would trade for the world. And her liberators, the new bearers of harmony, were very entertaining and kind. Though she was sure that was in part because they didn't have a true chance to digest all the information being thrown around, it was a calming sensation all the same. And, the pleasant surprises kept coming.

The lunar sister gasped as this 'Chastity Spell' was removed from the creature calling itself Elfilis. She could only assume the spell was meant to be some kind self-defense technique that locked down the magics of it's target, because as he softly floated off the ground and onto his hoofs, everything she saw (including the fact that he did stand at an unfortunate height for the average pony) played second fiddle to what she felt in her soul as his power came back. Luna was very proud of her discovery of the realm of dreams more than a millennium ago, but she had never been able to discuss it in detail with anypony. She was the only pony she knew of to be able to project her being into the immaterial realm, and it made her self-imposed vigil over the minds of her subjects a lonely one.

It also meant that when the parasite appeared, she was on her own to try to fight it off. And as good as she had gotten at dream walking, it wasn't her special talent. She was vulnerable to the mind magics it had played upon her, with no pony any the wiser to the danger she was in until it was too late. Elfilis though, this gracefully floating being, she could tell, was an unopposed natural master of dreams. With her magic she could almost see his thoughts try to break through the veil and become material, something she had only ever, well, dreamed of accomplishing. This was a joyous day indeed. Luna knew she needed to have a moment with him to themselves. She had so many things she wanted, nay, needed to ask him.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid we haven't met yet. You would be?" And she had been staring at him long enough for him to take action.

"Ah, my apologies Sir Elfilis, I am Luna. Princess Luna we suppose, though it has been a long time since I had been able to go by our own name. We did not intend to stare." Okay, given her alicorn status, I was going to assume that she was the lighter side of Nightmare Moon, just as Elfilin was the kindness of Fecto. And also, she was occasionally referring to herself in plural, which was confusing.

"It is alright your majesty. I understand that I am not something you would see often, if at all." I'm going to be honest, trying to watch my language and verbiage around royalty was becoming exhausting.

"Um, excuse me Mr. Elifilis." I looked to the shy pegasus as she quietly whispered to all of us. I noticed she had picked up Spike and was wrapping him up in a bundle on her back as we spoke. "I don't suppose, you could tell us what you are? As a species? If you don't mind..." Well we were gonna get to that point eventually.

"Yeah, you look pretty rad but I don't think I would have known if you were cool to hang out with or not without you taking that spell like a champ." I think I was going to get along relatively well with Rainbow, even if she had an odd fixation on things being 'cool.'

"And I, am curious to know the name of the race that naturally has such a silky gorget! It's very striking darling." And Rarity, who was (according to Spike) the 'most beautiful mare in all of Equestria' was going to inflate my ego.

"Before I tell you all what I know, can I get confirmation that everything is back to the way it's supposed to be now? I know the sun is back in the sky and all, but I would really like to be sure that there isn't anything left to do before I start introducing my own problems. One thing at a time right?" It was Princess Celestia who would respond.

"Indeed, but as it stands I do not believe me or Luna are in any state to address our subjects at the moment, and I would rather hear your story. The sun and moon are back in balance, and for now that will be enough to keep our subjects calm." By the end of her statement everyone in the room had already turned to me, waiting for me to start. It made me a little nervous.

"Alright, so, just a little forewarning, I don't know everything about myself. The only memories I have are about the week before I found Ponyville, and the day after I tried to offer my help to Twilight and scared her by accident." I could see the combination of concern and intrigue grow in their eyes as I spoke. "As for what I am, I think I shall call myself a 'Forgo.' The only things I know about my body and capabilities are from what I can recall from a... story about someone similar to me by the name Fecto Elfilis. Yes, I am borrowing his last name for myself, so if we can all just refer to him as Fecto I would appreciate it."

"Thou only have memories of a tale about thy own people?" Luna was definitely trying not to sound too curious, but it was bleeding through her worried tone. "And we assume the borrowed name was due to lacking one of thine own?"

"I have only memories about one of my own people, and yes, I don't remember my name or who I was until a week ago. I'm not convinced I actually was a Forgo before then either. Some parts of my body feel familiar but others are as alien to me as they are to you." Okay, they were really focused on what I had to say now. "I'm going to tell Fecto's story now if you don't mind, it's the last bit of information I can remember clearly." Celestia interrupted at this point.

"Just a moment, do you mind if we move this conversation somewhere else? I would like to invite you all to lunch at the castle, I feel we may need more time to address your situation than I realized and we do need to give an address to our ponies before days end. My sister and I can give a speech after we arrive in Canterlot, and afterwards we can finish this conversation. Is that alright?" Even if it wasn't alright with me, I was pretty sure I didn't actually have a choice. Not becuase the Princess was threatening me or anything, but the rest of the room sans Twilight had all gotten excited at the prospect of dining with royalty.

"Of course Princess. I can wait just a little longer."

"Thank you. Now, gather around everypony, I will teleport all of us to the castle myself." Oh wait, I have something to do.

"Wait! Sorry your majesty I need to, ah, damn it. Screw propriety. I need to pee." And then I found myself back in the forest. I really needed to figure out what it was that was causing the portals when I wasn't actively trying to activate them. I almost forgot about them because they were absent after Twilight worked her magic, but I definitely just left a room of shocked ponies behind. It would have to wait though, I had other priorities at the moment.

"What thu' hay!"

"He could go to any party he wants?! He's Mr. Worldwide!"

"How!? That wasn't a normal teleport, was it Princess?" Celestia only sighed.

"No, no it was not Twilight." Celestia didn't know how to handle a creature that could so casually open stable portals that travelled through space-time that it used them to use the restroom in peace. "He could have just walked down the hall, but nooo..."
