This is the best moment of my life… well, I think the best moment of the day… or the year. I don’t really know! I barely can think about all those beautiful animals, all those magic creatures full of secrets and knowledge… I barely can think who will be the first one to be interviewed. Well, maybe would be Twilight Sparkle. She says that she’s an Alicorn. All the books that I have read in all my life didn’t talk about such a beautiful creature. And of course, they didn’t say that they could use Nen… well, I think that part shouldn’t be written. Speaking about Nen in public is forbidden. “I’m too happy, which will be the first place where I can talk with you and your friends?” I asked. I completely forgot about something very important.
“Almaz, you remember this: You promised me a good conversation about magic.” Twilight commented. Damn, I forgot about that “But we can talk about it later.” I deeply sighed with happiness. I was going to talk with these wonderful… ponies? “Well, which one do you want to start interviewing?” that was a tough one.
“Can you tell me how many species do we have right now, Miss Twilight?” I asked with some courtesy.
“You don’t have to be so polite, Almaz. You can call me: Twilight.” she commented after hearing my words “Now that I think about it, do you like apples?” she asked. Why she would ask me something like that? Anyway; the right question should be: who doesn’t like apples?
“Yep, yapa.” we both answered at the same time.
Twilight made a smile; I didn’t know what she was thinking about. But apples are apples… I always liked green apples. “Zen, what kind of apple would you like to eat?” I asked. I was always being overprotective with her… or maybe an idiot trying to ask something that he already knows.
“Don’t be an asshole. You know better than me what kind of apples I love. You’ve always remembered that, yapa.” I laughed after hearing that answer. I always loved to bother her “Don’t look me with that face, yapa.”
“How do you know I’m looking at you if I’m using my gas mask?”
She deeply sighed “Because you are predictable, very predictable.”
“Sorry for asking you something likes this: how many years do you both know each other?”
“Ten years, ten months, twelve days, seven hours, five minutes and currently fifty seconds; why?” Twilight blinked after hearing my answer.
“Wow! You have counted something like that?”
“It was special, really special moment.” I took some seconds before continuing “Between life and dead. Well, more dead than life.”
“Yeah, I nearly killed him with my tail, yapa.” Zen commented, her arms where crossed and her smile was full of pride. Indeed, she nearly killed me with her tail, but that’s another story that I’ll talk about it later if they ask me that.
Sweet Apple Acres
“A farm!?” I yelled.
“Yeah. This is Sweet Apple Acres, the main source of apples in Equestria.” Without thinking twice I ran and started to look every part of the farm while Twilight was talking with an orange pony with a cowboy hat. I didn’t pay attention to that. I was mostly focused on the farm.
It was like any other farm in my world. They have a barn, some animals. Oh, look at that beautiful dog. I think it’s female, I can smell it “You shouldn’t try to do that, yapa.” Zen commented while she was watching how I tried to stroke the dog with my left hand.
“Twilight, are ya sure that we should let him walk around this place without protection?” Applejack asked.
“He is a nice human. He is like Fluttershy in human flesh.”
“Does he fear his own shadow?” AJ asked with some irony. Twilight just sighed after her question.
“No, Applejack. I think fear is not in his dictionary. Fighting with me without thinking twice is incredible… if he wasn’t trying to calm me down…”
“What are you saying, sugar cube?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just interested in his magic. He doesn’t have a horn or something mystical in his body.”
“Well, I don’t know about magic, but I can tell ya. I don’t like him.”
“Try to be nice to him, anyway. Everypony is watching us right now.” she pointed with her hoof all the ponies that were watching the human being. “They are afraid, but they are curious about this creature.”
“Isn’t that Fluttershy? I thought the last pony in this place watching a monster would be her.”
“Not really. If you think, he is another creature and he is carrying his friend, Zen, another creature. I would call it: Studying.” she deeply sighed “Anyway. I’ve send a letter to Princess Celestia.”
“So?”
“She-“ Twilight couldn’t end the sentence. Her attention was attracted by a yell.
“AGH!” the hunter yelled with all his strength “SOMEBODY, GET THIS DOG OFF ME!”
“YAPAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“That doesn’t sound well.” Twilight commented
“Nope!”
When they reached Almaz’s location, they found themselves looking at a very strange situation. Almaz was yelling, trying to deal with Winoona without hurting her; she was biting his hand, really hard. Zen was laughing out loud without an end. She was enjoying the moment of pain.
“Winoona!” AJ yelled “Let him go!”
Twilight sighed. The best solution for this mess was another teleporting spell. Teleporting Winoona far away from Almaz’ hand “I think that’s enough.”
“Yapa!” Zen yelled “That wasn’t funny!” she commented after Twilight helped Almaz.
Almaz sighed with some relief “That dog is only small.” he commented with some irony; maybe Winoona was a little dog, but she was indeed as fierce as a… dog?
“Winoona!” Applejack said “Good job.” she murmured.
“Ammmmm.” a pink-maned pegasus entered in this weird scene “Are you okay?” she asked nicely.
The hunter looked the one who asked. His reaction was incredible.
“Oh my gosh! Who’s this little and beautiful thing?” he asked like a retard. Yeah, like the ones who talk with a dog telling them with their retard voice “who’s this little thing full of cuteness? Yes, you’re so cute, you’re the most cutes thing in this life” or something like that, finishing with a scrape in their stomach. Of course he wouldn’t do something like that. The Fluttershy’s reaction was like always, she walked away in fear, hiding behind her lavender friend “What just happened?”
“I think she is afraid of you, yapa. I wouldn’t blame her, hearing the voice of a retard with a terrifying gas mask, yapa.” Zen commented with some irony “You need more touch with this.” Fluttershy after watching the flaming monkey, her eyes were full of love. She flew and caught our sarcastic monkey.
“Oh dear, I haven’t see a little creature like you.” Fluttershy commented with love while hugging Zen “And your fur is like fire, but is not hot. What’s your name little dragon?”
Zen was shocked after hearing the Fluttershy’s voice; her close contact was bothering her “Is this chick trying to be kind with me, yapa?” she asked “Wait a second, yapa. She called me ‘dragon’, yapa?”
“You are a beautiful little dragon. I haven’t seen such a creature like you. Where do you come from little flaming dragon?”
“Al, help me!” Zen yelled with all her strength. She was moving like an animal, trying to get out of the arms/hooves of the pegasus “Help me, Al!” she yelled again. Fortunately for her, she escaped from the arms full of kindness and ran like a soul to the devil, entering to the jacket of Almaz. “Shield Protection against that pink chick, active!” she said after closing the jacket. Her plan was simple: hiding in the last place that Fluttershy would try to hug her: Almaz’ jacket!
For the Hunter, this was nothing more than a funny situation between Fluttershy and Zen “Well, I think I have my first person… or pony… to interview right now. Speaking about interviewing, I think you all forgot about my hand.”
“Are you hurt?” Twilight asked.
“Nah. I don’t have wounds or anything like that.” he shows his hand. Was clear, no signals of blood or wounds. It was like bite never happened. Twilight was surprised.
“Ok. Excuse me for bothering you, Almaz. Before you start with your interviews, can you tell me more about that magic?” Twilight asked. Almaz made a simple sigh “Can you explain me what is Emission and Specialization?”
“Tell them to come here.” Almaz pointed all the ponies “If I’m gonna tell you what’s Nen, everybody should know what is.”
“You mean everypony?”
“What?”
“I think in your world they use the word “everybody”, here, we use “everypony”.”
“Whatever.”
“Well, I’ll tell you the definition of Nen from my book, because I don’t wanna miss anything, ok? First:
“Aura/Nen is the life energy produced by all living bodies vital for survival. Aura from all parts of the body has a tendency to flow together, producing one mass of energy. This happens without the individual's awareness, typically resulting in a slow leak of aura continually escaping the body. If one were to lose their entire aura, it would be equivalent to using up all the energy that is keeping them alive, which would be fatal. The pores or points on the body from which aura flows out from are called "Aura Nodes”. Controlling those nodes is the first step to being a user of Nen.
“Well, the thing is simple; every living being posses Nen in their bodies. Even the most weak can learn Nen. In your world, apparently, Alicorns can use Nen with their horns.”
“Actually: Alicorns and Unircorns, and sort of mystical creatures.” Twilight added.
“Really? That’s wonderful. Another thing to write in my book.
“Where was I? Oh, yeah. Apparently, Alicorns, Unicorns and Mystical Creatures can use it with their horns or anything else. The most curious thing is that your powers are a little bit different from Nen abilities. An example: In our world, Emission is the Nen type focused on emitting our Aura. Emitting our Aura can do different things, like creating a simple ball of Aura or creating monster to help you in battle with special abilities. People normally confuse Emission with Conjuration, ironically, both are different and even opposite sides of the hexagram.”
The Hunter took one stick of wood and started to draw in the ground a hexagram.
“This is the hexagram of Nen. Six different types of Nen. First comes Enhancement. This is the most balanced Nen type of all, giving you the ability to upgrade your own natural abilities: Strength, Healing Recovery, Age Factor-in other words, you can be young for a lot of time-, Speed and anything else that enter in that category. Great Nen users of this type can be a headache if you’re not good at melee or close combat. They have some affinity with Emission and Transmutation. Their opposite type of Nen is Specialization
“Here comes my favorite name type, and is actually my Nen type: Emission. Emitters can emit their own Aura, normally we spend some of our Nen capability in Manipulation, but I’ll talk about that later. Emitters like I said, they emit their Aura, giving it a form. An example: we can emit bullets or lasers or whatever our category can use. We can even use it for emit different kind of creatures, monster with some rules. We have some affinity with Enhancement and Manipulation. Our opposite Nen type is Conjuration.
“Manipulation. These bastards can be a headache for anyone. Like their Nen category says, they have the power to manipulate living things or non-living things. You can control a human, any creature, BUT, they normally need an object and some rules have success. I don’t know why people thinks that controlling living things can let you win, Manipulation is more. Controlling living things can make you very dependant of your object, and the Vows and Limitations are quite high as well. But, if you make your power be simple but effective, the Vows and Limitations can be reduced to nearly zero, sometimes of course. I’ll use a real example of a friend named Morel: He’s a Manipulator; his Manipulator’s Object is a giant smoking pipe. He smokes and exhales the smoke. With Manipulation, he can change the form of and control the smoke, even giving it human form, animal form or whatever he want, at the same time, he can use his pipe like a weapon. If you manage to destroy or steal the Manipulator’s Object, the game probably will end… if we’re talking about a newbie Manipulator. Manipulators has some affinity with Conjuration, so they can create they own weapons and objects, turning that problem into an advantage. They have also some affinity with Emission. Their opposite Nen type is Transmutation.
“Our next category is Transmutation.”
“But you haven’t explained what Specialization is.” Twilight commented. She was really interested by this information and all the ponies too.
“I’ll talk about Specialization later, so please, don’t interrupt me, sweetheart.
“Transmutation is the Nen type category that makes you capable to change the properties of your Aura to mimic something else. Similar to Emission, all things created with Transmutation are pure Aura. People usually mistakes Transmutation with Conjuration-well, they both are connected-but, knowing the difference is easy. Transmutation allows your aura to mimic properties of a substance, whereas Conjuration allows you to change your aura into actual substances. Transmuters can copy the properties of real things; for example, you can mimic the properties of fire with your Aura-that’s not a good idea, though-. Transmuters can also give their aura properties that don't necessarily mimic real things. For example, you can make your Aura take a form of a dog and mimic the proprieties of rumble. Like Emission, things created with their Aura are invisible for non-Nen users. They have some affinity with Enhancement and Conjuration. Their opposite Nen type is Manipulation.
“Here we go with one of the most interesting Nen types; Conjuration. Conjuration sometimes is confused with Emission and Transmutation. The differences between Emission and Conjuration are: Conjuration is the ability to create a physical, independent, material object out of one's aura. Once a person has mastered the conjuration of a certain object, they can conjure it and dispel it in an instant, whenever they want. Conjuration is the only way in which Nen can create things that ordinary people (unaware of Nen) can see and touch. Furthermore, objects or entities created by this technique have a subtle "independence" to them. This means that they can continue existing even if they were at a considerable distance from the Conjurer, or even if the Conjurer themselves are not aware that they have yet to be de-materialized. However the use of In can hide an object materialized from aura from experienced users of Nen. While Emitters are capable of controlling the deployment of their Aura while separating it from their body, Aura usually decreases in intensity very quickly when it is separated from the source body, but strong Emitters can separate their aura from their body for long-periods of time and still be able to maintain it. Sometimes, both need the help of Manipulation. Mixing Emission and Conjuration is not always a good idea; unfortunately, I mixed them with some of my abilities. I hate my youth’s mistakes....
“Well, here we are with another interesting type of Nen-if is not the best-Specialization. Specialization is the different kind of Nen, completely out of the hexagram, making abilities that the others can do. The most incredible thing is that they can mix others Nen type. Normally the use Conjuration and Manipulation, but they can use another types of Nen too. Using Specialization is like a Happy Meal in McDonalds, you don’t know what you’ll find. Can be the most weird and one of the most powerful powers, even can makes a bad ability one of the best. An example: creating fire. Creating fire is the worst thing you can make, is a shame and bad. Transmuting your Aura into fire doesn’t mean you’re immune against fire. You’ll burn like a pig if you don’t use Manipulation to separate the fire from your skin and control with it. And for making a different kind of fire being hotter than the normal one: Emission. Ironically, for that kind of power normally you need to be a Transmuter for making fire, Manipulation is the opposite type of Nen. Like I said, mixing opposite types of Nen is not always a good idea. BUT, if you’re a Specialist, things are different. You can manipulate the fire, creating it, or even being immune to it. Teleportation, invisibility and others things that the other five can do. Its opposite type of Nen is Enhancement.
“Now if I have caught your attention, you probably wanna know what is mixing, right? Mixing different types of Nen can make you creates different abilities, making it your personal way to fight. A Conjurer can make Doppelgangers, but, they need Manipulation to control them-having some affinity with Conjuration, that’s possible-but is a bad idea, Doppleganges needs a lot of focus and the worse thing: they are perfect. Creating something like you in a perfect way is always a bad idea. They don’t have wounds or blood in their clothes or bodies, so, if the original one is wounded, their enemy can know who is their real enemy and their fake ones. So, if you’re Conjurers, don’t lose ability and time with something like that.
“Manipulators attached to some objects can’t spend their control with Transmutation. Like I said, my friend Morel’s the ability to manipulate smoke, but he can’t make smoke with his Aura; that’s Transmutation; you caught the idea? Speaking about him… I shouldn’t tell his ability… promise me if you meet him doesn’t talk about his ability or he will kill me.
“And that, ladies and gentlemen, is only a part of the world of Nen!” Almaz yelled with joy after his explanation about Nen “I don’t wanna talk about the basic techniques of Nen. I had enough telling you the six categories of Nen and the different kinds of combination to make abilities.”
Our Flame Monkey’s opened the Almaz’ jacket, starting to talk too “And there’s more, yapa.” she smiled after saying that. Everypony was shocked. They couldn’t speak after hearing this explanation, until RD came out.
“Wow!” she just yelled “Wow! I can’t-” she couldn’t think well. “I don’t know what… AGH!”
Applejack couldn’t talk either, but for our pinkie friend, Pinkie Pie “Wow! You mean that everypony can learn Nen, and, and we can shoot lasers from our eyes and, and we can do incredible things, using magic and all those doodles things!?”
Almaz’s Aura started to flow around his body. His Aura was dark, but it was flowing like transparent mist. Everypony was amused after watching that Aura “If you manage to see my Nen, that’s means you can learn it, really fast.” he commented “Anyway. Any other question, Twilight Sparkle?”
“No… I mean, yes. Can you demonstrate your abilities?” Almaz sighed after hearing that.
“Normally, It would be bad for a Nen-user to show his abilities, but I’ll make an exception, but I don’t wanna talk about its secrets.” After those words, something appeared behind him. It was… a little girl angel?
“Chan-Chan!” the little angel yelled with happiness and cuteness “I am Prat!” Fluttershy couldn’t handle and she hugged the little creature.
“Oh dear, I didn’t know you were a father!” she said while she was hugging Prat.
“I’m not a father. She’s my creation. Using Emission and Conjuration I can create her.”
“How old are you little creature?” Fluttershy didn’t hear Almaz, her attention was attracted to Prat. Almaz sighed after that.
“20 years or two minutes, depends. Chan-Chan!” Fluttershy was shocked after hearing her age.
“You’re two years younger than me, but you look so cute.” Fluttershy looked at Almaz “Can you borrow me your little angel? I want to feed her.”
“No.” Almaz replied “She’s not a living being in exact terms. She’s a creation between Emission and Conjuration. I can make her answer questions and do other things if I use Manipulation. But it’s enough using the basic control status. Answer and question. I don’t wanna make a mess with my Nen right now.”
“What!?” she responded after hearing Almaz’s words “You are manipulating this precious creature!?”
“Fluttershy, he is telling you that Prat is not alive. She is nothing more than a magic creature with a spell,” Twilight commented “well, in Nen terms, a Nen creature?”
“Yep.” Almaz’ clicked his fingers, dismissing Prat form the Fluttershy’s hooves. He stopped his Aura, and looked at the mare. She was sad “Don’t be sad, little Shy. I was sad too because they couldn’t be alive. But it’s not a big deal, haha.” he took out Zen from his jacket “It’s your turn.”
“You got to be kidding me, yapa.” she answered.
“Twilight, your magic powers can create something like a transparent shield or something like that?”
“Sure.”
“Anypony has something that wants to be demolished?”
“Sure, the old farm needs to be demolished, why?” AJ answered, pointing the old farm.
“Ok. Well, you know what to do, Zen.” she sighed “Twilight, when I give to the signal. Use that kind of shield and protect everypony, ok?”
“What are you trying to do, Almaz?” Twilight asked.
“It’s the Zen’s turn to demonstrate her ridiculous powers.”
Zen was watching a wall. Like always, she was trying to evade the stress of being the Almaz’ friend. A demonstration of her power wasn’t something that she liked, but, if she gains some fear for another creatures; she probably would be in peace in the Almaz’ jacket “Well… Ren.” an immense Aura started to flow from her body. Was more than 10 times bigger than her actual size “Ko.” all her Aura was concentrated in her left hand, and for the finale, she transmutes her Aura.
“Twilight, now!” after this order, Twilight created a dome, protecting everypony from the unknown danger. Zen threw a punch “YAPA!” she yelled, making a huge explosion of flames, destroying completely the farm with only one punch. Fortunately and somehow, the explosion wasn’t enough to burn the threes near to the farm. It was luck or technique? Everypony was amused, muted after watching such an incredible explosion. The Hunter was laughing of joy; he was indeed in joy, watching those ponies surprised. Few seconds later, Twilight dismisses the shield. Zen was running towards the Hunter, her face was full of joy and pride. She closed the Almaz’ jacket and started to laugh very low.
“What… what was that?” Twilight asked.
“An explosion.”
“I know it was an explosion. But… how?”
“She’s a Transmuter. She used Ren, then Ko and then she transmuted her Aura.”
“Transmuted to what?”
“An explosion.”
“Wait… are you telling me that Zen can transmute her Aura to… that’s ridiculous.” she commented “You’ve said before that transmuted your Aura in something dangerous was a bad idea.”
“Yep, I know what I’ve said.”
“So?”
“Zen‘s a Flame Monkey. She’s immune against fire and explosions and something like that. You can’t damage her with something flammable. Instead, you’ll feed her.” he sighed “Transmute your Aura to something that can damage you is a really bad idea… instead you can resist it, or, you’re immune to it. Zen’s one of the best Transmuters that I have met in my life, with great skills in Enhancement and Conjuration, she’s a monster that everybody should fear. In close combat, I can tell you, she’s the best at least you’d be crazy to try to punch a living bomb… and that’s her basic ability like a Transmuter.” Zen was laughing out loud after that. Probably nopony will bother her after that.
“That is… so overpowered.” those words escaped from the mouth of Twilight.
“Nah. That’s just another genius and great Nen user in the world. There’re people more powerful than Zen.” he took his mask off. His eyes were glowing “I swear you. The world of Nen is bigger that you think.” he put on again “That’s why’s so fun!” he yelled like a kid. Twilight didn’t respond. She was shocked. All the books she had read. All the spells she learned. Those hours of hard training and knowledge meant nothing with his new discover. She just wanted one thing in her mind: to Learn.
“This is so cool!” RD yelled while she was flying around Almaz “I wanna kick and break some butts with my Nen!” she started to punch and kick the air “You must teach me how to use Nen!”
“N-“ the Hunter couldn’t end the sentence, RD didn’t let him end it.
“And I won’t accept a “No”. I help have helped you finding this wonderful place.”
“Of course-“ he sighed “Forget it. I’ll keep it in mind. Learning Nen ain’t easy. But ponies like you who can see my Aura and my creations… probably will be a piece of cake for you, but, I don’t wanna teach that right now.” he said with a deep sigh “Anyway. I think is my turn to make some interviews; what do you think, Twilight?” the mare didn’t answer “Twilight Sparkle, are you there sweetheart?”
“Oh! Sorry, I was thinking.” Twilight answered “Almaz, you don’t mind if you teach us some Nen?”
“Sweetheart, you didn’t hear what I said?” he asked “I’m not ready to teach again Nen. I’m here ‘cause I wanna have some interviews and discovering new things.” he commented.
“But-“ she sighed “Forget it.”
“Don’t feel bad. Teaching Nen is fun… and hard. Sometimes I get excited when I see a future monster in Nen.” Twilight was kind of disappointed. The curiousness was too much for her. Being a princess was indeed a great deal.
Twilight stopped RD from speaking “Enough. He is our guest and we should treat him like one… and Zen, too.”
“Twilight, what was the thing you told me about Princess Celestia?” AJ asked.
“Ah, I totally forgot that-“ in that moment, she remember perfectly the letter “Oh no!” she yelled “I forgot about the letter. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are coming tonight to Ponyville!”
“Princess… What happened with the queen and king?” that was his first question after hearing the word princess “Interesting. Not only different kind of magic creatures; they have leaders.”
“Of course we have leaders. Princess Celestia is the ruler of Equestria.” RD commented “Anyway, we don’t have something like queen or king.”
“It’s me or these ponies are ignorant, yapa?” Zen murmured.
“Don’t say something like that. Maybe they have a good reason to make a princess a ruler of a land.” he murmured.
“But that is a fucking queen, yapa!” she murmured.
“Ajem!” Twilight interrupted the conversation of Almaz and Zen “Sorry, but we need to hurry. Princess Celestia is coming tonight and she told me to bind you and keep an eye on you.”
“Bind what?” Almaz said.
“Do not fear anything. She told me that because she said you were dangerous. But you are sweet as a candy, so, I don’t think you will bother us.”
Some hours has passed after that explanation. I didn’t get it. A Princess being a ruler, she should be named Queen. But that’s not my problem anyway. Fortunately, I have spent some hours with these lovely creatures. It was really nice, unfortunately, Twilight was thinking a lot, probably she was thinking about Nen. I think their power is less limited than Nen. I think she doesn’t need Vows and Limitations to make a spell. That’s cool, for me, that’s impossible. And I forgot to tell them that people can become Specialist in their life, but that’s rare. Anyway. My interviewers were Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Rarity, Spike, Bon Bon, Lyra, Major Mare-those she have another name?-, Zecora the Zebra-maybe she would be an Exorcist/Nen Remover-
The interview with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy was disturbing and amusing at the same time. Fluttershy wanted to spend some time with Prat, which wasn’t good for me. Rainbow Dash was trying to make me her master. Twilight asked me some questions about Nen, but I didn’t answer them for some reasons. First, I was the one who was making questions. I had enough talking about Nen. Meh, I should try to relax. This place is a dream… I wanna know how dark it is. Everything has a dark side. I know that better than anybody. Well, I’ll stop writing right now. I’ve to talk with the Queen. I can see her carriage. If feel like this won’t end well.
I closed my book and started to watch the show. Zen like always was inside my jacket; hell, sometimes I think she loves my jacket. I think she has a house there. Now I think about it… probably she has one. I remember the gift from Esper. Damn, that dude is awesome. Creating portals and all that kind of things with Nen. But like I said, I don’t like too much Conjuration. Heck, I really hate the mistakes I made when I was younger.
Everybody… well, I should use the everypony in this place. Everypony was kneeling in respect to their rulers. Twilight said: The dark blue one is Luna, the younger sister and the white one is Celestia. They were big in comparison of others ponies. Alicorns are that big? Twilight’s small. I should stop making this kind of questions. Wait, I can’t; it’s my job, haha.
“Greetings.” Celestia said “You might be the human.”
“I think I’m the only bipedal without a tail.” I commented “Kidding!” I laugh a little. I was a little nerveous, talking with a ruler and probably somepony venerated as a god “My name’s Almaz. I’m a Single-Star Beast Hunter. The girl in my jacket is Zen, my best friend. She’s a Flame Monkey.”
“Nice to meet you, Asmoedus Almaz.”
“Weird. Did I say my first name, Zen?”
“Twilight Sparkle sent me a letter with your full name, Asmodeus Almaz.”
“Nice. So, how can I help you?” he asked.
“Can you tell me how do you managed to end in Equestria?”
“Falling.”
“Pardon?”
“Zen and I were falling from the sky after we opened a portal. 120 miles apparently from the sky to the ground, so; thanks to the abilities of Zen, I’ve survived. Goddamit sometimes the affinity with Conjuration is good.”
“Conjuration?” Luna asked.
“Long story and explanation that took me more than 1000 words in my book; I don’t wanna repeat that, Twilight can. I think she’s memorized the whole explanation; like everypony.” I sighed “Well, do you want some coffee or something like? I think we’ll have a long conversation.” I commented.
“Twilight Sparkle, why is not the human bound?” Celestia asked.
“Princess Celestia, Almaz is a good man. I read his mind, he has a sweet heart. He can’t hurt us, is like breaking his own codes.” Twilight replied.
“Quite interesting. ‘Tia, how many years Equestria has been without humans?” Luna asked.
“More than 200 years.” Celestia answered “I see, in that case, it will not be a problem returning him to his own world.” Twilight was shocked after this comment. But she already knew this would happen, what a shame. In my case, I wasn’t shocked at all.
“Why?” Twilight asked “This human can teach us magic. His magic is different and at the same time, is endless and limited.”
I didn’t let Celestia reply “Well, actually: limitating yourself make the ability most powerful. An example, if I wanted to make bullets of Nen, cutting my fingers would make my Nen more powerful. Well, that’s only an example of somebody I met a long time ago.” well “Anyway, continue, please. I’m quite interested with your conversation.”
“Humans are not allowed in Equestria. They are monsterss, full of greed and power. Letting only one to this place will only make few time to an attack.”
“I think you’re right.” I commented. Twilight was shocked after my comment “But I think only one is enough to make this place a mess. If the only way to come to this place is from that portal in the Dark Continent; you’re already doomed.”
“What are you saying, Almaz?” Twilight asked.
“The place that I came from is where people with enough power can kill me without a lot of problems; their Nen level possible is like Netero or even bigger. If you’re new in the world of Nen, you don’t know what you are dealing with.” I sighed “Fortunately, to find this place needs some work, so, I think you’ll lose friends if you don’t have opportunities to fight against Nen users. No matter how strong you are, for default in a battle between Nen-user vs Non-Nen user’s a win for the Nen-user.”
“You are underestimating our power?” Luna asked with her royal voice. My ears, ouch!
“No, I’m not. The last thing a Nen-user must do is underestimating anybody, I mean, anypony.”
“We are goddess with the power of sun and moon. But that is not the important.” she said “Why are you here, Asmodeus Almaz?”
“I’m a Beast Hunter, I love magic creatures and I’ll protect them with all my heart. This place is heaven for me, is so peaceful and beautiful. But…”
“But what, Asmodeus Almaz?”
“Can I ask you for something?
“Depends.”
“Can you cure any kind of decease?” the question was quite interesting for the goddess.
“Yes, I can-“ she was surprised for one thing, after what I did. I kneeled in from of her, watching the ground.
“I beg you with all my soul, please, cure my friend!” everypony was surprised after that. I was… I cannot say how much I was full of hopes. “I’ve a friend with a horrendous decease, she have being cursed with that. It have be a long, really long time that I wanted to find the cure. I beg you with my heart, can you please?” I looked at her; I put off my mask and look at her eyes.
“Unfortunately, I can’t help you.” my hope was crushed after those words “I can’t help humans-“
“But she’s not human!” I yelled “She’s a Flame Monkey, she’s the little Zen’s little sister!” Zen was up in my head, sitting. Her face was full of seriousness. She didn’t say anything to this.
“I see. I can’t help you. Doing something like that would break some rules. Sorry, but I can’t help you. Knowing that you probably will leave this place.” I put my mask on my face. I get up and started to talk with her.
“Do you know what’s the Lumanius Berry?”
“Lumanius Berry… so many years since I’ve heard that name that name. Yes, I know what is. How do you know the existence of that berry?”
“That’s not the problem right now how I know that. Do you know where I can find one?”
She didn’t like a lot my answer, I didn’t mind that “No, I don’t know where is. It’s localization is unknown for everypony, even me.”
“Zen, let’s go.”
“Wait!” Twilight yelled “What is the Lumanius Berry?”
“The Lumanius Berry is a fruit that can cure any decease. I came to this place to find it. How did I know it was in this place? That’s belongs to the Nen’s world.” I started to walk “I’ll find it, then, I’ll leave this place, I promise that.”
“In that case, I think you will never leave this place. It is impossible to find it.” I laughed after that
“I’m a Hunter! Something like that is exciting me right now. The word “Unknown” is magic for us. Finding this fruit will be nothing more than a level A mission. But the hardest thing I’ve already done. So, it would be level D!” I yelled, full of energy “Twilight, thanks for being so nice with me. I really appreciate that. If we wouldn’t have this kind of luck, probably I would teach you Nen. But, that will be for another life.” after those words, I started to walk away.
“Twilight Sparkle.” Celestia said “Keep an eye on this human. We can’t take too much problems right now.” Celestia said. This was like hope for Twilight. If she was the one near to me, she probably would learn Nen.
“I will do that, Princess Celestia.” she started to fly nearly to me.
“Hey, wait for me!” RD yelled “Twilight needs some protection; I will help her watching this human.” this mare… she really wants to learn Nen.
“If Twilight goes, I’m going!” AJ said.
“Oh! We can make a party after we get the Lum Berry!” Pinkie Pie yelled of happiness
“Almaz, can I hug Prat and have a good conversation with her?” goddamit! That’s a huge problem for me! Damn, Fluttershy! Why? How can you understand she’s not alive!? Fuck, I don’t wanna lost more Nen that I want.
“Dear, you need something better to use. That gas mask and those clothes. I can’t let you walk around Equestria with those things!” Rarity commented.
“Yapa!” Zen yelled “Sometimes I wonder how the hell you can make these things happens, yapa!” she yelled “You are so random, yapa!”
If wasn’t for my gas mask, everypony would see my face full of tears. I was crying, I was happy. First I was mad with that goddess or whatever she is. Now, I was surrounded by friends… helping me with my quest to saving the life of my friend and sister of Zen “So what are we waiting for?” I asked full of energy “Let’s go!”
“Wait, Almaz.” Twilight said “We should find some books about that berry.”
She stopped my, goddamit, how I forgot that? “Ahmmm, of course I was thinking about that!” I said, Zen was laughing at this embarrassing moment. Sometimes I don’t believe how I manage to make her more pacifist. If she was like the first time we met, probably, she would jump and try to kill Celestia. Anyway, we should start with this quest. I think I’ll have a good time in this place.
For our next episode, yapa! One mouth has passed since Almaz and I came to Equestria. The six mares know the basics of Nen and they are impressive, even I can believe that, yapa. Almaz told me to not say each Nen type of the mares, but is written in his book, yapa. We don’t know why, but others humans are here, too, yapa! I don’t like this, yapa!
