//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Universe of Mine // by Emperor_Amaria //------------------------------// "What's that?" I asked my wife, surprise face plastered in my face. "The glitch of error, Your Majesty, timelines reported unusual anomaly in your Universe." "Anomaly thingy? Hey, but its kinda cool, look at those stars!" I exclaimed, interuppting the scientist and flying closer to the edge of spaceship, making her jump and shot me a death glare. There were coffee spills scattered on the floor, a result from my jumpscare. All of my scientists looked up from their desk and computers, annoyance clear in their face. Some were smiling at me. "Whoops, sorry guys! Just too excited!" I yelled at them. "Oh, Mosy! Can you a bit more serious here?!" She yelled. "Fine by me, Dear. You told me that this glitches might be a threat to our dimension, I don't see anything so scary. Relax, its not like we are going to war again with those assholes. Just give me a coordinate, I will check it myself." I told her, nuzzling her rather passionately behind the neck to show my point. "Your Highness, you make your subjects feel useless. Just let them take care of this. You need some relaxation, you dont even care with your health. Just please, lower it a bit...." She looked at me with those beauty of nature her eyes emmited. "Well, I'm their ruler too, hon. They have to respect my choices." I sat down beside her, nipping her ears playfully. Turning my head, I faced my guards. They were the creatures that stood upon four legs, had a muscles, like my wife and I. But they didn't have both of wings and horn, or even didn't have those two at all. "...and you. Can you fetch my spaceship? I'll go to the Milky Way, out of all galaxies this one is always be the center of problems." I gave them an order. "Shall I contact Emperor Galaxy first, Your Highnesses?" One of them pointed a hoof to the computers, the others murmured with aggrement between my wife and the phone. "Hmm, m'kay. Make sure you contact Navven in the Earth, I want to talk about Libra." "You just concerned about those lovebird, isn't? Your majesty, Libra is a teenager, so does our Zodiacs. Just give them a space." The Empress ran her hoof between her glowy hair, winking a bit at her lovely husband. "Guess you right..." I turned my head, "All dismissed! And one more....... don't call me with those royal titles again. I much prefer my very own names." "Sir, yes sir!" All of my crew headed toward the main hall, chatting and laughing, leaving me with the most wonderful mare from all Universe of mine. She bit her lips nervously before stood up and slumped a bit on the floor. She sighed, "Your Maje--" "You too, My Lady." "Cosmos, are you sure about this? This anomaly is very unusual. What if you are ended up in another timelines?" "Then, I will consider it a wondrous vacation." I grinned before sticking out my tongue to her. "Nebula, its not like I am going to die. Ponies like us didn't know ages, they cheated death." I trotted up to the large window, watching my Imperials with its glorious splendor. Suns, mons, asteroids, and stars, my children. Zodiacs is my children, we raised them when they were only an infant. Oh, they were the cutest things I saw.... They were the embodiment of stars formation in space, just like me and my wife. Except, I am the the body of Unverse itself, while she was a maiden from the Ink, Nebula. Her magic that surrounded her long, spiral horn had a sparkling orange auras, both wings were reddish feathers with wavy mane and tail. From the auras, I don't likely have to describe the colours of her eyes. Proud and her charisma would take down even the strongest stallion. She was my definition of perfect. Besides our children of course... I sighed and lay my body down to the floor, "We're not so different from them who inhabits another AU. Ponies sleep, ponies eat, and breath like them....why are you keep worrying about me?" "Well, I know our immortaly can help us a lot in battle. Our scents are animals so the other will not consider you a threat as soon as you come, just lets hope that glitch doesn't send you to another dimension." She looked at me with meaningful look. "Although, it might be one per thousand chance for you to come back safe." Her piercing orange eyes looked at my soul, making me shivered under her breath. I might have to describe my young body from this point. Just like others, I'm a pony creature with wings and spiral horn and tail. Distand cousin of horses they, inhabitants of outside 4th wall, said. Thin body covered with pale grey fur, all of it, except the tip of my wings. Light red mane and tail, and red irises. Ah yes, what do the kids say? Cutie mark? Well, I had a picture of galaxies tatto on my flanks. Neither my children nor Nebula's had a galaxy mark, they most likely had a stars mark or blue suns mark on their flanks. Our species were rare, almost miracle. But Gods don't sleep, luckily we had a powerful magic and capable of doing something impossible. But that was not an item of adoration mind you. That was not my point at all. In this world is safe or be saved, and all kindness with others. "Easy, I will be fine." "That time, when you came to Alpha Centauri. You almost gave me a heart attack, Cosmos. I thought you were trapped in that lava pit!" "Hey, I was just curious about the lava! No biggie." "What about when you accidentally crushed a blue star in the north of your realms? And broke the Coila Galaxy?" She raised an eyebrow. I glared at her, "Well its just an accident, beside that stallion was getting on my nerves." I puffed my chest proudly. "How about that time you almost created a black hole in Milky Way? Galaxy was very mad at that time." "I was just experimenting my powers! Seriously, I wanted to prove that mad scientist theory about balance." "What about this one, you threw..." "Okay, okay. I might be not really careful, but that doesn't mean I'm not care." I said with finality. "......whatever you said." She threw a disgust look to me and trotted up to the main hall, dragged her long wavy tail. "I just... uhh, I just want to think!" Nebula was having a bad time now, she didn't even looked at my eyes. This situation always made my heart broken with sadness and guilty feeling. I touched her face with my hoof, she looked at me, locking our eyes together in silence. The awful night was still hanging in the outside Realms, where life was still a mystery. The mere world wherever our eyes could see. Hugging her tightly, I felt old memories flooded in my mind, making a nostalgic atmosphere. I cooed her, murmured something nice and just hugged her again. She relaxed a bit, her muscles still tensed up upon my chest. I felt her deep, warm breath, so calming and inviting. "Dont be sad, Deary." I nuzzled her softly, "You make me sad too." "Mosy." I winced at my nickname, heh. Poor Lady, she had to survive this era, she had to suffered every second, every night, every years for me to come back. I know she was lonely, I know how our kids felt when their father was gone for Gods know where. For a moment, she felt so fragile, so weak and easily broken. But, I know she was really powerful, her claws hidden beneath her softest touch. "You using your charm again to me, young lady?" "Haha, took you long enough to realize, my lord." She nuzzled my soft fur. "Awww....." some off my crew's hearts melted with our affection. She hugged my waist and drew me closer. Yeah, this was a perfect family, this was my paradise. "Mosy, remember that one time we just a kids. You gave me a flower! Oh, your face was so red at that time!" "Nebula, don't you dare ruin the moment." "What about that, when you were trying to kiss me on the bath?" She wiggled her eyebrows. "No, Naby! Stop!" "Oh, I remember when you sucked---" "NOOO!!!" -------------------------- It was a gorgeous night-- despite the fact that his Realm, which was located in the outer space, was always night. A full stars formation drenched the Palace to the lusterless color of platinum, and late-blooming harvest flowers breathed into the motionless air aromas that were like low, half-heard laughter. The open Realms, carpeted for rods around with bright flowers, was translucent as in the day on Earth. it was almost impossible not to be affected by the sheer beauty of the nature. Almost. Cosmos was not a spiritual pony-- his esthetic sense was rudimentary. "Here, let me carry your bag." "Thanks, hon." Cosmos glanced at the stallion beside him, "Are you sure, thats not a glitch?" "Lord Cosmos, as much as I like to make trouble in my galaxy. this time, this is different, never happened yeah. Its like a black hole, screw that, an immense black hole." "Immense?" said another good-looking stallion, his eyes were green. "Oh Hell No!" "No swearing in this palace, please." Cosmos stood up from the floor, he came toward his old fellows. "Navven, r ya sure you wanna come with me?" "Meh. Galaxy's problem is my problem too, ya know. Because he rule Milky Way, and you know what Besties? MY WORLD IS INSIDE THAT DAMN GALAXY!" Navven breathed heavily, looking at Cosmos direction with a seepish face. "Well, no pun intended. Beside that, you're my friends." "Uhh....Shall we go now? I already contacted our children, sent em messages." Galaxy stared at the floor, suddenly attracted by its sparkling marbles. He rubbed his hoof behind his cyan mane, looked really uncomfortable. Far up the road the lights of thousand stars drifted into view. A nameless fear crawled toward their chill, decision was upon their hoofs, there was a sighing sound that crept persistently-- it might have been the rustle of the silver flowers under the stars. A mare got out, then an eldery gentle stallion, and there was Nebula, beautiful as sin. Galaxy and Navven bowed at once, in the presence of the Empress. The other mare was slender and frail, with hair was ashen under the moon and honey-colored under the sputtering gas-lamps of the Palace Lights. Her hoof were glittering like diamonds. That, of course was Alpha, Nebula's older sister, and Galaxy's wife. "Old fellows like me can't learn new stuff." The Elder observed profoundly, " It is you youngsters with energy and vitality that have the great decision before you." "Our stuff is ready in the spaceship, what we have to prepare now is our soul, the risk is great, are you ready to bear?" Determination passed over them, blood rose into their cheeks, their forehead, and there was a steady thumping in the ears. the decision, decision of life. They just hoped, if they ended up in another world, well it was not really bad. Just a vacation in the middle of nowhere. Alpha approached the little group. Reared in the old tradition, she bowed at Cosmos. "Boys?" "We're in." Unknown for them, another timeline was open to the world called Equestria. Because the fragment of the evil King Sombra still remained, they slowly undermine the boundaries between Equestrian's timeline with their own Universe. Let's just hope they didn't treat them like enemies, after all, what could possibly go wrong? Alicorns, yeah....that didn't matter, right? Boy, they were really wrong.
