As Corvo came too, he could see nothing more than a pure white void. There was nothing except that void it seemed. He stood and looked around. It wasn't like the beyond, where everything was frozen in time. As he turned to face in front of him, he could see that a sun and moon had appeared. In front of each stood two alicorns that had their eyes closed. They opened them at the same time, revealing blinding light. One white from the one that stood in front of the sun, and blue from the one in front of the moon.
"Corvo, you must help to save this planet. There is a pony who wishes to completely destroy the world as we know it." They said in unison. He looked at them, bewildered.
"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked. He had saved his castle from a tyrant, but saving a world on his own seemed like something he couldn't do.
"...save us from him...." They said as they faded. Corvo reached out to them, trying to bring them back.
He jolted upright in a rather fancy room. It looked like it was fit for royalty. He looked around. It seemed to be the room of a princess or a queen. He pulled a hand up to his forehead, trying to cope with his headache.
"So, you're finally awake." A voice said from beside him. He looked over to see the blue alicorn from his dreams standing in the doorway. "We have been waiting for you to wake." Her horn was glowing, and she walked in. A tray of food followed behind her.
"Where am I?" He asked as soon as she had set the food on his lap. She didn't answer at first as she moved the blanket off of him to check some of his vitals.
"You are in the royal castle in Canterlot." She seemed to say it absently. Corvo's eyes widened a bit and he looked out the rather large window. From here he could see the city and its inhabitants. They milled about without much care for the ones around him.
"Great...." He said, groaning internally. He had intended to come here, but not this early into his time in the strange land.
"We brought you here so Twilight did not have to worry herself over thou. She is too stressed." The alicorn nodded and levitated a cup to his lips. "Drink." He complied, sipping from the bitter tea. He had grown used to it where he had come from.
'Why can I not remember that?' He asked himself. He furrowed his brows in confusion. Corvo looked back to the alicorn that was levitating a sandwich to his mouth. He sighed and took a bite out of it, jerking back at the taste. it seemed to have some kind of fried hay in it, and to him it was rather good. The sandwich also had tomato, lettuce, and pickles on it. He shook his head vigorously as he swallowed the rather weird but good tasting sandwich.
"Is there something wrong with the food?" The blue alicorn asked him. He didn't respond immediately, and he panted, his eyebrows drawn down.
"I-I never expected something that organic to taste good...." He trailed off as he still stared at the sandwich that levitated in front of him. The only sounds he could hear was his breathing, the alicorn's breathing, and the slight sound of magic flowing. He shook his head and look at the back of his hand, which flared up. To anyone around him, all it did was glow. But to him, a small wheel appeared above it, showing what powers he had available. He still had all of his basic powers, which used up Mana. To the left of the wheel, he could see how much he had left. The bar was almost empty. He sighed and let the wheel disappear.
"What is that wheel for?" The alicorn asked. He jumped a little, surprised that she could have possibly seen it.
"N-nothing to worry about." He began to wonder to himself how she saw it.
"It cannot be nothing. There were weird symbols we have never seen hovering above thine hand." She said. He identified it as a female by the voice.
Corvo sighed, not seeing any way to avoid having to tell her about his powers from the beyond. "This symbol allows me to use special powers that allow me to bend the laws of the world to an extent. One of such is called Blink." He held out his hand and pulled himself to the other side of the room, leaving his Mana bar empty. "Though using these powers takes up Mana, which is the source of my powers." He turned around to see that the alicorn was looking at him with an amazed expression.
"We have never seen anything like that before. It looks as if you are teleporting, but you are moving too fast for us to sense the use of magic in thou." She smiled a little, approaching him. "Thou hath said that you use a thing called Mana to use these powers?" Corvo nodded, backing up a step as she got close to his face. When she was nearly touching his face with her muzzle, the door to the room burst open, and Celestia walked in and looked at them. Corvo's face went a deep red, and the blue alicorn turned around so fast she nearly tripped.
"What have you been doing with him?!" The white alicorn demanded, stomping across the room and staring at the slightly smaller alicorn. Corvo held his breath, watching the alicorn carefully. He could feel he was going to have a long day.
