//------------------------------// // The return of Discord // Story: Dimensional Tourist // by Oxyaction //------------------------------// --------- Perspective: Nephilim-------------- "TWILIGHT" Celestia yells, running to the door. I follow closely, clicking both my fingers and creating a flame in both hands, Celestia kicks the door open just in time to see an unconsious twilight about to be picked up by a strange being. The creature looked like someone put a bunch of mythical creatures into a blender and turned it on, getting the result of a chimera of sorts. By the look of pure hatred from Celestia this creature must be something bad, so I threw both of the fireballs at the creature and then launched myself across the room. The creature clicked its fingers and turned the fireballs into two headed birds. I go to kick him only to have him click its fingers again and vanish. I then turn around to make sure it didnt teleport behind me, seeing that the coast is clear I walk up to Celestia nuzzling Twilight trying to wake her up. Walking up to them both I kneel down and push Celestia's snout out of the way. "NO!" Celestia yells, tears flowing down her eyes. "Shhh it's ok, let me check to see if she is hurt." I say, soothing the Princess. After some more coaxing I manage to get Celestia away from Twilight. I feel around her head, searching for any bumps or cracks. Finding neither I then begin to feel around her ribs and legs, finding none of them broken I check eyes and breathing. "She just fainted, probably got scared out of her wits. Poor thing." I say. "Oh this is all my fault," Celestia says. I look up at her, shock written all over my face. " How is this your fault?" I exclaim. " I shouldn't of let twilight walk out here alone," " So, you should of followed Twilight through a castle full of guards, surrounded by walls. To a place she has walk to many times?" " YES!" She yells, the facing her face towards the floor "well when you put it like that it seems silly but." "No buts, this isn't your fault. It is that chaos creature's fault. In no way is any of this your fault." I say. "You're right, you are good at this comforting thing." she says "Well in my line of work I've seen all sorts of people trying to blame themselves for an event they had no part of. What was that creature anyway?" I ask " That was Discord, the god of chaos and all things unpleasant. But I don't know how he escaped his stone prison me and my sister put him in centuries ago. So what exactly does a detective do from where your from?" " We detect things" I say, laughing to myself. In response Celestia glares at me slightly. " Nah I hunt down dangerous magical criminals and arrest them, When I can." I say "what do you mean "when you can"?" she asks, slightly wide eyed "Well I always get the most dangerous and delusional criminals and sometimes they fight me to their last breath." Celestia gasps and steps away from me "You kill people?" She says quietly. "Yeah, but they are bad people who have usually killed many innocent people." I respond, slightly confused to the way she was responding. " Do you keep your victims hands attached to your leg as a reward?" she asks as she steps away from me even more. " What? no, why would you ask that?" I say, highly confused now. " When the doctors found you, you had a hand attached to your leg that looked like it was ripped off." My eyes widened, a smile spreads it's way across my mouth. I have a way to go back, I think to myself, I am not stuck here, I can go home. "Why are you smiling?" Celestia asks, realizing that I'm still kneeling over Twilight I get up and move away. " Isthmus Anchor." I say excitedly, getting a puzzled look from Celestia. "What is was that?" "An Isthmus Anchor, It is an object belonging to one reality, residing in another. That hand is my ticket home, the body it was connected to was probably found by my partner and sent to the hospital where he would've been fixed up. The hand would still be connected to him and I can use it to go home" I explain, smiling in full now.
