//------------------------------// // A Trans-Dimensional Letter // Story: Notes of a Traveler // by Gabushe Shy //------------------------------// Notes of a Traveler by Gabushe Shy With a loud pop a thin stack of papers burst into existence on one of Ponyville's grey sidewalks and got instantly drenched because of the thick rain. A few long minutes later a little, grey pegasus mare found them and curiously started reading them. Hi to whoever is reading this (I really hope that it is the right pony)! My name is… well I don't even know what my real name is, I met myself so many times and I always end up with different name. I am getting of track, aren't I? Oh well. Anyway, call me Doctor. Who am I? I am traveler - a trans-dimensional traveler, time traveler, and any other form of traveler you can think of, I am him. I am from world where Equestria is in the medieval ages - as some educated ponies in different ages and worlds would call. My Equestria is ruled by the sun goddess - a white, regal, majestic and tall alicorn with flowing long mane that looks like rising sun - Princess Celestia and co-ruled by moon goddess - a dark blue, regal, majestic and not that tall alicorn with mane that looks like night sky - Princess Luna. Our Equestria was saved countless times by a group of six ponies - Princess of Friendship -Twilight Sparkle and her five friends: fashionista Rarity, farmer Applejack, a kind animal caretaker Fluttershy, a party planner Pinkie Pie and a Wonderbolt named Rainbow Dash. These six heroes were always accompanied by a dragon named Spike. But I saw many other worlds and timelines, many of them not that happy as mine, others just plain different. I saw a world that is ruled by the princess of the sun Shimmering Sun, moon princess Sparkling Moon (although I heard rumors that her real name was Twilight Sparkle so I am pretty curious if it was a doppelganger of my Twilight Sparkle) and star princess Glimmering Star. I saw a world where instead of Princess Celestia, the world is ruled by Princess Luna and is saved by not just Twilight Sparkle (who isn't by the way a princess, she is just a normal unicorn), but also Sunset Shimmer and, as she likes to be called, The Great And Powerful Trixie (I really don't know what she thinks). I have also met these three in another world that actually was ruled by Princess Celestia. But our three heroes were called Knights Of The Realm and had five students - Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash - quite coincidentally, five friends of Twilight Sparkle from my world. Once I came into existence in a world where I was an actual unicorn and my time travelling abilities were heavily suppressed. There was screaming, like a lot of screaming. But I learned soon enough why I can't time travel. In this world, every unicorn has a different kind of magic. Unicorn with flower cutie mark will be most likely good at gardening, or a unicorn with cutie mark in acting will be good actor. It took me while until I figured out how to restore my natural magic, but I found out soon enough. I saw a timeline where Princess Luna never became corrupted by The Nightmare Forces in the first place and was living happily with her sister. On the other hoof, I also saw a world where Princess Celestia was corrupted by The Nightmare Forces and called herself Daybreaker. If the name wasn't created by those circumstances, I would really compliment it. Oh and how did she call herself? Yes! She called herself the better, more prettier and more powerful Celestia. Seriously, she was a real mad mare. One time I went back in time to the ages where the ruler of The Crystal Empire wasn't Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, nor King Sombra but Princess Amore. I also think that I figured out the mystery behind Princess Mi Amore Cadenza - her destiny was never to be crystal princess but be normal Pegasus, but Princess Celestia and the enchantress Prismia affected her destiny so much that she became who she is now. But other worlds lead me to think that Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is descendant of Amore. I remember, that I once popped into a world where we were all crazy gryphons, and right after that, I appeared in a land where we were all bipedal creatures studying at a high school. It took me a quite a while until I figured how to get from there, after all - my time travelling machine looked like a normal telephone box. Sadly, this was the first and last adventure that I did with my assistant. She declined my offer of adventures ever since. Sad, I really liked her taste in adventures (and she was pretty cute too, I must admit it). Phew, I think that I am finally at home - the sun shines the same, Ponyville looks the same and there aren't any villains… Wait! Why are there six Dragonequi staring at me like I am some abomination? I don't care. Run! Well they caught me but they had good intentions, they were only curious how I - a normal Earth Pony - can do time and space travelling. It took me quite some time to explain it to them, but they were good fellows and they understood me the most out of everypony I had a conversation about this type of things (I really need to find some of these fellows at home). If I must list one of the forms I enjoyed, then it is the thestral form. It was majestic, I finally had wings without being another race and most importantly - I was Princess Luna's royal guard. Or how she liked to call me - her loyal guardian. Oh but this is just a start. One time with a loud pop I appeared in a middle of a magic lesson. This would be quite normal if only the students would not be Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer and their teacher some random alicorn. Later I learned that her name was Sunbeam Sparkle and she was the current ruler of Equestria. If you are saying that these worlds were normal (then I don't know what you are thinking) listen to some of my other adventures. The craziest of all was most likely a visit to a blocky world. Yes! A world that was made all out of blocks. I was told that this world is called Overworld and that exist also Nether and End. And that were just the original lands. If you had used some kind of magic called mods (really? You didn't even try to make the name original) you can add other worlds. After this, I made my quick return to my world. Or at least I tried. It seems that my time travelling machine is broken. I am sending this letter to my Equestria to tell my Muffin that I am coming back. So please, tell a pony named Derpy Hooves that I am coming back. Thank you The Doctor The Grey mare smiled “He is coming back.”
