The dream realm stretched out in every direction but I ignored it and the dreams in it. I just laid on my stomach with my head on my forelegs, my eyes closed.
I felt so…
…Alone. I would have to do something nice to the Pinkie on my side, I really had underestimated her. She really had found ponies that would accept a bat pony. Some a bit hesitantly like Big Mac, but…
Accepting.
What more that she might not know about was that Fluttershy was there and saw it all.
I can’t say how thankful I am to her for that.
But the way they greeted me almost made it worse. I will leave soon. I trusted Midnight to get me home.
I trusted her to get me home.
But meeting all of those ponies just made me feel even more lonely.
I felt her presence almost instantly. It was amazing how much she felt like my Luna.
Identical even.
She didn't say anything, she just stood there.
Finally I opened my eyes and raised my head to look at her, "Princess Luna. My apologies if I'm intruding, but I don't dream normally anymore."
She looked exactly like Luna.
Because she was Luna... but she wasn't My Sky. It was the eyes. Same as with Celestia.
Luna nodded, "Twilight Sparkle said you were a dream walker, Prince Page," she said as she regarded me, "But I did not expect you to be this powerful."
I smiled faintly at her and climbed to my hooves, "Alicorn of Stories. Dreams are a more solid part of my realm than of yours. Drawback is that in the outer world, I am a lot less powerful."
Princess Luna nodded as she regarded me, one ear flicking once before she spoke again, "This must be strange to you," she finally said, "Twilight said you are married to the Luna on that world."
"We are," I said before I looked up at her, "And it is."
Luna smiled at me, "I would imagine so. If you wish, I can leave you alone."
"No, it's fine," I said and sighed, stretching my wings, "I just miss them. You look very much like her," I said before I looked up at her again, "...Other than the eyes."
"The eyes?"
I shook my head and folded my wings again, "No... maybe not the eyes. Just the way she looks at me."
Luna smiled a bit wider, "I would think so," she said and then motioned, "Walk with me?"
I moved up to walk next to her, "You have talked to your sister about my bats."
It wasn't a question.
"You read me that easily?" Luna said and glanced at me.
I smiled a bit, "You and My Sky aren't so different in that regard," I admitted and looked at a dream portal we walked past. Shiny blue shimmering silver.
Unicorn still asleep. Young, but not very young. Not sick.
Skipping school.
Good for her.
"I suppose not," Luna said before she nodded, "And yes, my sister and I have discussed the thestrals. You say there are many still left?"
"Several thousands," I said and sighed, "I wouldn't call that many."
"You would teach me how to find them?" Luna asked, "I can not differentiate between a pegasus and a thestral."
"I will," I and and frowned. If I did... she'd find out about Fluttershy. I had no right to expose her like that, "Before I leave."
Luna looked at me, "Twilight is working on a way back. But it took all of us to find her and open the portal. To do so in reverse..."
"I trust her and her galaxy sized brain," I said and smiled up at her, "I have no doubt she'll find me a way back home. Especially with Starlight on the case too. That mare is crazy good at magical theory. Besides, I'm fairly sure Sparks and the other Starlight is on the case back home."
Luna raised an eyebrow, "Sparks?"
"...Nickname for my Twilight."
"Twilight did say you were also involved with the other Twilight and Sunset Shimmer," Luna said with a small smile, "...I am curious, how close are your Twilight and Luna?"
I grinned, "Very," before I sighed, "When we're all together anyway. My Sky is in Canterlot, the rest of us are in Nocturnis. We meet in person... couple of weeks a year."
"I don't think she likes that."
"I don't think any of us likes that," I agreed and then eyed her, "Any reason you ask about my Luna and Twilight? Got your eyes on this one?"
Luna shifted her wings, "...Perhaps."
"I wish you luck but warn you to be careful. She left somepony on my side," I told her seriously, "Somepony she loved."
"Tempest Shadow."
I nodded, "What happened to her in this world? She used to work for the Storm King."
"Died. During the invasion attempt."
"Oh."
"I killed her."
...Oh…
Well Luna dropped a bombshell of news on Page at the end there. Can't wait to see how Twilight will react to hearing this.
That is not going to go over well.
Not at all....
*points at Pinkie* you lied to us! this isn't the canon world at all!
11301311
If anything, it sets up the whole Tempest staying here plot lines well in Advance.
11301319
"Canon, oh that'sa typo this is the Cannon universe where Luna took her anger out on the storm King with a big magical Cannon."
11301311
I think she already knows since she's been around a bit more than page has been
That's not canon...
Should Blank Page know that? Been long enogh I don't remember.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
That Tempest ran out of luck during her encounter with Luna.
11301375
Well to be fair, this world's Twilight has been gone for some of the key events, so the timeline would had to have diverged a little.
I think one of the ands can be removed
Well Shit... No Twilight sandwitch with two Tempests than
Funny... I always wondered how Yeti get vaporised by the hundred or thousands, but Tempest never get killed in Fimfiction. This is a first for me
Quite the turn of events
11301311
1. Not my Tempest *shrugs her shoulders*
2. NOOO! My Tempest threesome is gone now
3. ... Hugs with enough force are unhealthy after all
11301375
It might have happened afterwards. Personally I would have watched her to be sure of new behavior but killing not unless necessary. Cozy almost killed dozens of ponies and nobody thought about killing her.
11301317
War is no game. The Changelings got away lucky...
11301319
Not anymore CUPCAKES ~♤
11301345
ABSOLUTLY PRICELESS. Very nice dodge as well
11301383
Quite surprised this is the first time i read about her death in Fimfiction
Nice
11301390
They should totaly kill Tirek to make male Alicorns
11301375
Despite what Pinkie Pie claimed, this timeline stopped being the canon timeline the moment Discord yoinked Twilight and Spike to Page's timeline. There's probably a timeline out there where Twilight and Spike never got yoinked and things continued as they did in canon, but it's not this one. This one spent considerable time without those two, rather than never really noticing that they were gone,and had to make do without them.
That said, this might be one case where the "not the same pony I love" works in their favour. The Tempest who died is not the Tempest Twilight fell in love with.
Yeesh, I'm guessing their Storm King invasion happened without Twilight to make friends with everycreature.
Ah Page
And he knows that's the isssue, the more he stays, the worse will be, but there is not much to do, and that is what he needs now, something to keep the mind busy.
11301418
Maybe he should go for a hobby
Hm... Maybe breeding
If some Flurryhearts but male would result, perhaps the Alicorns population might be saved yet
11301319
"Sorry, you misheard me. This is the Cannon universe. You know, Golan Globus?"
11301425
I made that joke first but you made it better lol
Please let there be skittles changelings I know there's no way without starlight but I just want page to see them and go "Dafuq is this?" and also so he can bring a terrifying warning back to his changelings
11301319
In moment, where Discord decided to pull Twilight/Midnight from her fight against Starlight, this world ceased to follow show's Path. In some way, Tempest is another victim of Discord being envious asshole.
...Yeesh! Talk about a Nuclear Drama Bomb right there at the end. I could just see how that goes with Luna & Twilight.
Luna would be like:
Twilight would be: No, NO!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
Luna: Search your feelings Twilight. You know this to be True!!
Twilight: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Thanks for chapter!
Have a good day!
11301340
It would be interesting.
11301346
We will have to see next chapter.
11301404
Heh, the first one is how I think She'll react to that information.
Well, this is going to be quite something for Midnight to unravel, preferably after Page is back home.
11301375
Page has never shown any awareness of the setting from the very few glimpses we've had into his pre-story life, so presumably either he never ran across it or it just plain doesn't exist as a fiction, at least in the time period he's from (somewhere between his world's 2008-1016). Certainly every big nasty took him by surprise just as much as everyone else.
11301405
Cosy is a child, not a soldier on a battlefield. Very different situation.
One minor jackboot today:
dream normally any more."
11301405
Still old enough to understand that what she was doing was wrong. Who knows how long tempest spent in the storm king's army. We only know that she was just a little kid when she ran away from home because she lost her horn. People will do anything if you spin a good story. Just look at what Trump pulled off because he was a sore losers.
11301345
Was that a Kamehameha Cannon?
I heard those cannons power levels are over 9000!
Alt Luna: "Btw tempest is dead in this universe."
Midight: "Ok Imma go back to Nocturnis bye"
11301582
Midnight: Than we import mine, kill the Storm King, take over his empire, splitt it up in their respective prior nations, rule the Yeti with Tempest Iron Hooves and everything will be bloody fine.
The stormking rather bloody than fine
This chapter came out over 9 hours ago and still no pot from windy? Unusuall.
11301593
Probably:
- Giving us a false sence of security until he rocks our comment section world
- Is reading the comments and waits for inspiration.
- Have a life outside Fimfiction (Blasphemy! )
- Is bussy reading other story updates like myself. Some long not updated story got a update
- Server was so overloaded from laughting at the sent comment that we need to wait for it to stop laughing and actually upload it to us.
Page: ...excuse me. I need a moment.
*Page summons a table of mango-flavored desserts*
Luna: Ah...pulling a Celestia.
Page: Pulling a Celestia.
Luna: Take your time.
Page: Thank you.
*begins eating his sorrow away*
11301673
Dream Mangos. Perfect to munch on. 0 Calories
11301375
Blank Page never mentions being previously aware of MLP
11301677
Not mangos. One mango. The size of a planet.
11301454
Yeah, I was trying to build on yours, not overshadow it. Sorry.
11301705
Great kids story, Page and the Gaint Mango, about Page dealing with his trauma by eating, and also living in, a giant mango
“You have eyes for that one?”
“Perhaps.”
“Well…”
“And you too.
“…..”
I never thought a male alicorn was possible
“Uhm.”
I am practically salivating.
“Eeep.”
“Something wrong?”
“You aren’t used to sharing this space, are you?”
“No, whyyyyyy-you heard that?”
“Yeah…I’m gonna…go…”
“No! pounce on him! Must make babies!” oh bugger! I can’t stop!”
This is not midnights time line! tempest is alive cannon and this is supposedly the cannon line we need a fix ASAP.
I nodded, "What happened to her in this world? She used to work for the Storm King."
"Died. During the invasion attempt."
"Oh."
"I killed her."
...Oh…
11301969
"Prince Page, there is a way to reopen the portal."
"OH Sunbutt that's great!"
"But at great cost."
"...OK what it's like a relic or something, Anything I'll do anything to get back."
"Well Luna insists she gets to have the first foal, which I guess would work for the kingdom, so then there's me...also cadance probably for good measure, and at least one of them needs to be male- wait page where are you going?"
"To the jungle where I can be mauled to death in peace."
11301558
Hiver has stated before about his SI's not having knowledge of the Universe they are in unless specifically stated. He has a couple exceptions I can think of for non-pony stories on SB i.e., the WH40k and Star Trek series (sort of). I can't remember off the top of my head for the MTG one.
11303241
A sensible policy for any sort of displaced character story. Far too much story-breaking power otherwise unless you're deliberately going for a subversion via butterfly effect or some such.
Goodness, I should know. Writing foresighted characters like Celestia, Cirdan, Galadriel or to an extent Denethor or Maglor can bad enough if they play an extended role in the story, even without giving them rock solid information.
Oh
11454924
Oh shit
Idea: Midnight Sparkle, Luna, and Tempest Shadow build Nocturnis in Cannon universe
And I was wondering if they were pulled back in time or not but you confirmed it with the invasion still happening in that universe.
Puta merda
11632403
Tempest is dead remember? Or are you talking about midnight's tempest?
Finally, another funny typo.
Huzzah, the and has been doubled!
I'd like to know how that happened in this almost-canon timeline; did she remember that she could teleport?
