Princess Celestia Pov:

I have to say, while I find amusing all the respect and maybe the fear of someponies around me during these centuries, it's really annoying to have that when you visit the familiar of someone whom you know and ask to be treated as a usual pony as well. 

The apple family should be the only ponies it could be treated as my neighbors because my old home was near here, and it's near to their propriety. I remember when I was having a talk with some ponies who may be the first apples wasn't that afraid of me. 

It's like what some ponies say over these days. It sucks to be feared for somepony you know the family really well. It's kind of sad these family who was so great over these years when I was with Luna over the castle, have some financial problems. I hope Ryujin detected over the future a way to help them. 

Well, I watched the Matriarch looking at me in Silence while the others as well unless Applejack who was still struggling to find a way to go to that poor little filly who was hiding but still shocked.

The worst part is the silence while nopony was saying anything.

"Hey Princess Celestia take a sit and be ready for what they will do, everything the Apples do is worthy of eating,"Spike said while approaching the chair and sitting while waiting the other ponies come to the table, Ryujin was sitting over at the left of the blank chair while Spike was on the right chair of the blank chair, making my child waiting for me to sit between them, that's so cute. 

"So that must be a great quality of meal we should have over here. I can't wait to try something."I said while I came over that chair, looking at my 2 sons looking at the Apples who was still trying to snap.

"Come on Applejack, we have a competition to make and I'm hungry, can you kill your sister another time or day?" Rainbow Dash decided to snap the family with her voice while making Ryujin nodded in agreement.

The first of snap was Granny Smith who was still shocked to see me.

"Oh, horseapples. I'm sorry for not serve you at my house, excuse me, your highness, I will appear with the lunch over here. Applebloom, Applejack stop whining and help me to serve these." I have to say, while I'm a bit hungry I could see the look on Rainbow Dash's starving face.

Applejack glared to her sister one last time before sigh and nodded to her grandma. Both the sisters went in the direction of the oven and decided to prepare the table. 

Twilight was sitting next to Spike who was using his cellphone for something. 

"Come on Spike, at least let me see what kind of speel is possible to do with level 5." Twilight was insisting something while Spike was deadpanning to her.

"I told you, he just has fireballs and if you use too much I will have to waste my gems. And I don't want to waste my gems on something like that, I'm stocking to buy a dragon." Spike said in harsh to Twilight making her pout.

"But the dragon just have a flamethrower and a few HP. You should buy a kirin who is specialist in magic." Twilight insisted while not agreeing with the Spike choices of something I don't know what they are talking about.

"Well, when you have your own cell phone, you can decide everything you want." Wow, never seen Spike said some snark words.

"DAMN. Spike that was brutal."Ryujin gasped looking at Spike like if he felt it. And Twilight glared to Spike before going to Ryujin with a pouting face.

"Ryujin please, can you give me a cell phone? Spike doesn't want to let me play his games."

"Well, did you at least answered 3 questions of my list?" Ryujin answered her question with another question, making Twilight look on the door in shame.

"It's impossible to answer that, all the logic answers I give to you it was wrong as you say." Twilight slammed her head on the table making everypony look at us during some time.

"Well, maybe in the future I can give you a cell phone, but not today, you are not ready."Ryujin just said she isn't ready.

"I'M READY, ASK TO EVERYPONY, I'M READY."

"Twilight you cannot take what internet will drop on you. You will regret your decisions, and I'm warning you if you insist on that I..." Ryujin was looking serious to her, but he was cut by her furious stubbornness.

"I don't care, give me a chance I'm stronger than you think." While I have to say Twilight is intelligent, her ignorance will make her have decisions she will regret, and looking on Ryujin deep looking, I have to say, she will regret that.

Rainbow Dash was looking at them curious about where this will leads. 

Ryujin got up from his place and touched his cellphone during sometimes and then he looked deep in Twilights eyes and then sighed. 

"Okay Twilight if you insist, I will give you one try, just one try to prove you are stronger enough to receive what internet will give to you. Spike and Princess Celestia, whatever you do, don't look at the screen and not even think about watching the video. Actually, I recommend to give a space and stay away from the cellphone." Ryujin said low enough to me and Spike hears and gave a bit of space, I have to say, I have thousands and thousands of years but I never would challenge when Ryujin would show something so serious. 

We gulped while the older brother of Apple family was looking at us in confusion. 

"Twilight this is the thing I wanted you to watch after you lose the bet, but if you really insist on that, I will give you a challenge. If you don't puke, you will receive a cell phone." Puke? Is he talking seriously? I think I will be outside of the table to not see the square.

I could see his mischevious smile, while Twilight was sweating like a river of nervous.

"Okay, I will take it." She gulped deciding her fate.

"Spike, use the camera and rec a video of this," Ryujin said making Spike get ready while he played a video with some beautiful silly song on behind.

"Why are you tapping my reaction?" Twilight asked uncomfortably.

"Just watch Twilight." Ryujin just cut her while sounding calm and in silence. Even Rainbow Dash did not dare to see what was going on.

"Well, they are lesbians, clearly." Twilight decided to make a stoneface unsurprised from what will happen. "I don't... I don't know what..."

Twilight was mumbling a bit but then her eyes get wide open.

"Wait." She said that while  I could see Ryujin's eyes narrowing while he gave a smiled from her reaction. "Wait."

Ryujin chuckled from behind while Twilight was looking at disbelief of one second.

"Wha...wha...what?" Twilight was trembling over looking at the screen in disbelief almost closing her eyes. "Wh...What?"

Ryujin chuckled even more.

"No...NO." Twilight was saying in disbelief, gasping and her sweating was getting even worse. Then she let it go her dropped mask. Trying to look away from the scream. " Ah AHHHHH... AHHHHHHH. AHHHHHHH WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

She screamed with him, making him laugh at her displeasure. I was a bit curious, but thinking about the warning, maybe that was the reason why we shouldn't watch the video. The worst thing it was she couldn't look away from the screen while her face was changing color. Then I heard my name in surprise.

"OH, MY CELESTIA." She screamed my name. I never thought somepony would say my name in the moments like that. "Ahhh. Ahhhhhh... Ahhh... I'm never gonna be able to eat ice cream again OH MY CELESTIA."

Ice cream? What kind of things he was showing to her making a bit curious but don't want to do that because of the consequences. 

Ryujin laughed even hard, while Twilight was looking green and sick from what she was watching, she holds her hands over her mouth almost puking something out.

Hearing her mumble of ice cream related over the video make me be happy, I like ice cream and if I watched that I would stop to enjoy it. Spike gulped in fear because he loves ice cream so he was thinking the same thing as me. Never watch the video. 

"Arghh." She said using her hands over her mouth."Oh my Celestia. ARGHHHHHH."

She used all her forces to hold her mouth closed. While Ryujin was still laughing at her.

Then we heard some gulp from her.

"That's...disgusting." Twilight finished while giving Ryujin's cellphone. "At least I...."

"Hey, guys, who want Apple Ice cream?" We heard Applejack walking holding cups of ice cream like it was the perfect moment in this crazy world. 

Twilight couldn't take it and she ran away from the door and we heard her vomiting over there. 

"I won," Ryujin said laughing, while Rainbow Dash was palled just looking at Twilight.

"What the happened?" Applejack said in confusion.

"Twilight had to watch something on Ryujin's cellphone without the puck and it was something really disgusting making her don't want to look at ice cream and for some miracle, you came up with ice cream. Making her loses it." I decided to say the truth making her look at him in disbelief.

"What did you show to her?" Applejack looked at Ryujin who was still using his cell phone when she asked him. He decided to hide it inside of his pocket while waving his hand.

"Trust me, you don't wanna know, even Rainbow Dash is thinking to make that far from her bottom line." Ryujin looked at Rainbow Dash while she nodded in agreement.

"I like eating ice cream so no thank you." Rainbow Dash may have lost her appetite after hearing Twilight vomiting from inside of the house.  

"Rainbow Dash, for the first time and maybe the only time in your life, you outsmarted Twilight Sparkle." Ryujin looked shocked to her but said smiling with a shit grin.

"Well, I have to say I have... HEY." Rainbow Dash said in angry while she was compliment herself but that snark comment made her angry and made everypony laugh at the table.

"Ah reckon maybe it was a coincidence about how the hey I decided to try the ice cream before the meal, it was just what your fancy ponies say in Canterlot. Appetizer right?"  Applejack said while giving just a little cup of ice cream, It was small but it was a good way to sweeten your meal.

"You are indeed correct dear Applejack, but please avoid the therm fancy ponies when it comes from the ponies of the cities please," I said teaching Applejack some manners, because while she wants to be more respected, the way she was saying it may be misunderstood from other ponies.

"Oh, Ah'm sorry your Highness. Well, enjoy the little ice cream, while ah I will bring the meal with the others. Big Mac, be sure of everypony over here be comfortable while we are still preparing the meal." Applejack said while she was going back where the Granny Smith and the little Apple Bloom was cooking. 

"Eeyup" It was the only thing I could hear from the stallion behind us. 

Well, while I could hear Twilight still vomiting from behind of the door, I could see Spike, eating slowly his ice cream because he loves it, and he wants to taste the maximum. Ryujin already ate and was looking at his cup. And Rainbow Dash was looking strange at her ice cream, touching with a spoon, like she feared something was behind it, so she eats it while still suffering from the groan of Twilight behind the house still vomiting.  

"Anyway, from what you showed to Twilight, I think I lost part of my hungry so I'm don't know how to say this but..." Rainbow Dash sighed while she was conflicted about how she was going to say something I may know and Ryujin already know. 

"I think we should make the eating contest on another day." Ryujin thought about it and decided to interrupt Rainbow Dash.

I decided to look how Rainbow Dash would react, and I think she was relieved it wasn't her who suggested that. Then her attitude exchanged from something I may have expected for.

"Really Ryujin? I thought you are the strongest over here, but you couldn't take a video as well?" Rainbow Dash decided to provoke him but I could see inside of her eyes she was thankful of him but don't want to admit it.

"Rainbow Dash...do you really want to know what is the video about?" Ryujin asked making Rainbow Dash grin smile became cracked like she feared to answer that.

"Er..." I could see from her eyes she doesn't want to know, and she is thinking how to avoid that. "It's better for me don't know about it, I know I'm really bravest and fastest pony, but stupid to give up my desire to eat? Nop. So if you watched the video and are not very interested in the eating contest I can understand your reason and we could make the match like next week." 

Rainbow Dash decided to act like the stubborn but behind her acting is wise. Ryujin smiled from her reaction.

"Well, I'm sure about one thing, nopony would have the courage to eat while hearing somepony vomiting," Ryujin said while  Rainbow Dash agreed in unison.    

"That's the truth. Damn, she is vomiting until know?" Rainbow Dash asked while from we heard the groan stopped. 

It took some minutes until Twilight came from outside. Her eyes were tearing and her mane a mess. She was palled. 

"Why did I do to you to receive such suffering, Ryujin?" Twilight said while she sat at the chair and slammed her face on the table.

Ryujin just looked at her and said. 

"The stupid never learn, the intelligent always learns from her mistakes, but the wise always learn from the other mistakes. Twilight." Wow, never heard something so deep and wise in so few seconds, I could see Twilight looking back to him. "I showed to you what would be the consequences of your curiosity if you keep looking deep trying to study the internet, you are smart Twilight, but you are not careful of what you should research. You could create a lot of problems with the internet. And look at Spike, he didn't watch the video, so he doesn't know what is it, so he may not learn what happened it would be a bit unfair to call him stupid but he doesn't want to learn. You otherwise had to learn from your mistakes, if you make you smarter now, but Rainbow Dash watched your experience in fear of what would happen to her if she did that. I asked if she was interested to know, she avoided in the best way possible, she became bitwise from just looking at you while you watched the video." 

Well, I have to say, me and Spike didn't be interested and it may be a bit rude what he said it. But it was fair, Rainbow Dash had empathy like she is Loyal to Twilight, and looking at the receiving that made her few really uncomfortable. Yeah, mistakes make ponies wiser and smarter in many times, even me did many mistakes and now here I'm. Ruling Equestria, and raising the sun, and my sister is back. And now I have two sons to raise. Oh boy. The joys of being a pony with more than 2 thousand years. 

"That's unfair...why did you gave Spike the cellphone?" Twilight said pouting with a bit of tear like a little filly who didn't like the experience she had. 

"Spike, what do you do when you use your cell phone?" 

"Well I usually like to play the games, listen to some kinds of music and even watch some videos of what you call youtube I think but usually is silly stuff to laugh or about kind of comics and superheroes," Spike said while he was eating his ice cream.

"See Twilight? Spike don't use all the information of what internet could use in her full potential. He just uses for his own pleasure and entertainment, and that's how you avoid many mistakes of what the internet could do to you." Ryujin looked on Twilight's eyes and sighed aloud. "Heck even Pinkie Pie would use internet on that way. However, Pinkie Pie is still trying her best to be the only thing she almost couldn't be... logic. While you for your stubbornness want to avoid the rules I created to you to protect you." 

"But..."

"Twilight I know what you would try to do if you have access of internet." Ryujin cut her excuses. "You would try to learn everything about my culture, my past, and try to learn and try to incorporate some of our technologies. However, you don't know... many of these things should be forbidden for your own species to see it. Heck, I even know a thing about what is the possibility of your ponies on Equestria would create a supreme kind of magic BUT I WILL FOREVER FORBID YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THAT TWILIGHT." 

Supreme kind of magic? When my curiosity was telling me what does he mean by that, my instincts told me to look on his face. When I snapped in my thoughts and I saw the look on his face, I could see his face becoming ugly with such anger. 
Twilight was frozen on her place, while the others on the table and even the brother of Applejack was looking uncomfortable.  

"Knowledge is power Twilight, but sharing knowledge to wrong people will just create tragedies and suffering around us," Ryujin said while he sighed like all his air became a cold steam around us. I could sense the area was becoming cold. Maybe that's a thing of the inside of his body when he becomes angry his body reacts as his water magic. 

Twilight tried to recompose herself looking at the table ashamed but then something took her attention.

"What do you mean of supreme magic Ryujin?" When she said that I automatic facehoof myself and I could see Spike did the same.

"GOD DAMMIT TWILIGHT." When I thought Ryujin would scream that, it was neither everyone what was at the table but it was the big brother of Applejack. Who snapped to be angry at my student whom I would say she really needs to rethink her values. 

"My thoughts exactly Big Mac. Twilight don't you think that's the reason he didn't want to give you the cellphone? I mean, Ryujin literally breath cold steam while trying to calm himself explaining what would be the consequences of given that kind information and you still want to know about it?"  Rainbow Dash came after and shared her thoughts about what it just happened now. "I think, imagine if I shared the knowledge of how I used the Sonic Rainbow to some ponies, what if some of them would try to imitate and even share the knowledge to another ponies until a jerk would use it to try to use it to fly away from the royal guards after he did some kind of crime. Heck, I would prefer to not share how did I do that because I feared if I wouldn't be the fastest pegasus on Equestria." 

I have to say Rainbow Dash it seems to be smarter than I thought, while she had of some of her pride and stubbornness I could see she may understand what does it means to be gone too far. 

"My thoughts exactly Rainbow Dash. Heck is even 2 and 0 to you. Twilight why not you try to learn something from Rainbow Dash?" Ryujin said that making him calm himself even more than before.

"Twilight Sparkle, learn something from Rainbow Dash? Heck Ah didn't even knew this day would come. What sort of miracle happened over here?" Applejack appeared with some pastries, pies and other foods based on apple.

"Just Twilight sometimes acting stupid without thinking on the consequences, really Twilight I know you are smart and that stuffs but I think you will not learn anything until you make a mistake and suffer the consequences of it." Ryujin sighed aloud after coming with such conclusion, I closed my eyes thinking about that as well.

I never knew this kind of attitude of Twilight, maybe I should give her some points to think about it.

"Ryujin if you don't mind, what about me? Maybe I could do some research for Twilight on my cell phone and if the information would be too much or even dangerous for her, I would deny and not tell her about it."

"Like a filter? Hum... I don't know mo...my highness. It's information you could use for the future, but you don't know if that would be safe even for you because you could become paranoid." He said quickly changing my smile to him, I decided to use my inner spell again. 

"Okay, now we can talk freely."

"Trust me, what I was talking about is about Megaspells, one source of magic very powerful in a land similar of Equestria, I did a research on the internet, and it seems the ponies and zebras started a war between themselves." My eyes opened wide after listening such assumption. "And the ponies created the Megaspells making the war even worse, because all the advantage of ponies did to the zebras, created a traitor among the ponies who had so much pity and decided to help the zebras as well, who created their own version of Megaspells with poisons and potion. Conclusion, all the Equestria became a wasteland with radiation around there, and their princess... even you died from the radiation of that Megaspell launched at Canterlot." 

My breath became quiet, and my fur became a bit wet, it was like that information was like a cold water bucked splashing me at my face. I tried to find a way to open my mouth or even try to reply with my mind, but my mind crashed and the link went off. I saw Ryujin nodding to me.

How tragedy. All that ponies and Zebras, I should have tried something. I'm totally against wars using such terrible power. Creating radiation? I don't know what is that, but even mean Alicorn died from such thing. 

"Princess are you okay?" I hear my student asking me making me snap a few of my thoughts, and for the first time in my life, I felt I forgot to breathe for a long time.

I breathed with every power I could have to snap from such scary thoughts.  

I could see everypony around me looking at me, looking worried after I was just in silence and suddenly acted strangely after what Ryujin had said. 

"Yeah, I'm doing fine. And thinking about what you said Ryujin, I understand about your point of my safety, however, I will promise you... With my own might and heart, I will not let anypony think about trying to take any information from me. That's my royal promise." I discovered the meaning of the words of Ryujin, such information in the fools would make share around Equestria and it would start many combats and even a war among us. I need to interrupt such information and if I discover somepony trying to create that. I have to use the erase memory spell to not let that happens.

Ryujin saw me with a sparkle on his eyes, it seems I really convinced him about that. And I'm happy of him to trust me because now I'm his mother.

"Okay if you say so. But I recommend you watch adventure time today, is my favorite cartoon and it shows what is the weight of a royal promise. And tell me, if I give the hint of what was curious now, would you let her know what is it about?" It was a tricky question because now I know what he was trying to hide, the megaspells, that would be the start of real tragedy behind everything, now I have a mission to start a friendship with Zebrica as well because I rather have them as allies and even friends than enemies. The power of potions, how strong is it even comparing with the megaspells if they learned after it.

"Thanks for recommending the series to watch in my free time," I said smiling to him, while I looked at my student until worried about me. "I know you are worried about me my dear student, but you don't have to worry about me, however, it seems the information he has is indeed something out of our hands to understand and even have the desire to learn, is meaningless not just for us, but for Equestria as well." 

"I... I understand my princess." I could see her face looking down in sadness, and it pains me to not tell her about the consequences of such a terrible desire. But she will grow up, she will become wise, even if she has to do many mistakes, and even she does. I know my two sons will try to fix it and scream with her to make her learn more than before.

I giggled thinking about how much Ryujin will be frustrated if he has to pass some days at where Twilight and Spike live.

"Well, while I think we discussed some serious stuff, now I think is the perfect time to eat," I said smiling to everypony who is smiling at the moment looking at the table with all that food over it.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryujin Pov:

I know I was a bit harsh with Twilight, but she needs to know, I like her the same way as the others, however, her curiosity created many awkward problems and sometimes I wanted to punch her on the face, with haki if I have the capacity to cover all my hand with it. Sigh... I just can do with 3 fingers for now. But it seems a progress. 

I looked at the table and I found a knife... I can use a bit of haki on my fingers, so if I just concentrate on that... that makes me think about it. Milhawk defeated Zoro using just a little knife, it was because he was using Haki on that knife? Maybe I will just assume that because that makes a lot of sense. 

Well, my stomach was taking away my concentration because I could feel he was wanting to be fulfilled with great food, but I actually I'm not used to eating Apple with everything like they made apple rice with eggs with apple as well. Heck, it seems the rumor is the truth, this family is crazy for Apples, I'm thinking what would happen if they find out they are a part pear. 

"Well Ryujin, It seems Rainbow Dash chicking out from our challenge, and I'm thinking if you want to give a try to make an eating contest against me." Applejack made me wake up from my inner thoughts after I remember I had a challenge with her. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Because I'm not used by that.

"HEY I DIDN'T CHICKEN OUT, I JUST DON'T FEEL WELL WITH MY STOMACH." Rainbow Dash screamed as she gave an excuse like if she watched the video instead of Twilight. 

"It's okay Rainbow Dash, she was just messing with you," I said smiling at her knowing she was sincere about how insecure she was against what happened if it was me I would let that pass easily, but I couldn't get out from a challenge of I decided to participate before. However... "Well, I wish I could do that, however, I never tasted such varieties of food with apple, wouldn't that be treated as unfair if I don't taste one bite to see if I would enjoy first?" 

I said with honesty, but I didn't know my honesty just made eyes get wide open and facepalm herself, grumbling how much she is stupid after she forgot I was new over here.

It was when I heard the ponies around us giggling from the silly comment. 

Applejack just nodded to me, making me let it try some of that stuff before. I will taste a bit and see what happens.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

??? Pov:

I decided to direct my son to hide beneath the floor while I could sense some danger presence while he was knowing my door with force and saying he knew me and I couldn't hide. I needed to see what this guy wants and make him gets out quick before I make him get out.

I went directly at the door and opened revealing someone who could be like someone very tall with broad shoulders, but with rather slender arms, and overall slender musculature but still smaller than me. He has icy blue eyes, a beaded brownish beard, and mullet-like hairstyle. He wore dark pants with a brown sash with a red belt leaving his top half completely exposed to the elements, and straps around his feet, exposing his toes and heels. On his body, he had several blue distinct tattoos of runes in ancient Norse. 

Someone I doesn't know who is he or what he wants. 

"Huh." Was the first thing he said after I showed up to him, making eye contact and analyzing if he would be a threat to me and the boy who was hiding at our house. He said like if he was acting like laziness person without posture. "I thought you'd be bigger. But you are definitely the one."

I kept myself in silence looking on him while he was still looking impressed by something.

"Long way from home. Aren't you?" 

"What do you want?" I decided to be direct with my question. Faster he asks something, faster I can finish this.

"Oh, you already know the answer for that." The first thing it came inside my mind was he wants my son, and if he thinks I would show him I would kill him in the first second he decided to insist on that.

"Whatever it is you seek, I do not have it," I said calmly but still cold holding for the right moment to strike. 

"He is telling the truth." I heard someone in my left, making we both look at the one who was on the other side of the door.

It appeared to be someone slander, with strange clothes, brown hair a short beard and acting in a way we couldn't understand the meaning of his words. But I felt a familiar sensation over me, and one I didn't like even a bit. 

"Oh? I could sense you are from the same place as him, far from away." The man who was asking me became amused by someone who was near us.

"You can tell even farther away from this man." The one who was behind the door passed his hand over his hair making it looking moving at the wind. Who in Tartarus is him?

"So you told me he doesn't have what I was looking for? I'm interested in what make you find such a conclusion?"

"Because he may not, but I know what do you want Baldur. And I can make you receive what you always were looking for." The man behind the door, made the man stop his track like he was shocked. Indeed, it seems that man knew the name of the one who I almost made a fight, it seems this problem will be concluded without my presence.

"Now you found someone who can help you." I decided to pick my door but the man who was talking with Baldur looked at me. 

"Kratos. I will help you now, but I have to talk to you later. You will need help and when that moment appears again, I will be there one more time and that time I want you to listen to me even if you will have the desire to kill me." That man knew my name and like he was an oracle looking at my future. I really hate the oracles, maybe that's why he knew the name of Baldur and what he seeks.

When I was going to question who he is, a hand come over his shoulder making him look at Baldur in a serious look.

"Well, I really want to know how you are gonna to do that." The next thing I could see was the smile over the face of that man, and in the next second, I could see what I couldn't believe I could see again, a chain around one of his arms and in the end was a double sickle sharped in a purple color.  I had a familiar sensation of supernatural and dark power over the floor. It came from that weapon.

"Okay, Ever heard a place called Tartarus?" At the moment I heard that unholy place, my nerves became stiff, and part of my memory I could remember people from there, and I remember the only god I slew and I took that weapon from the torment it happened to me, making all my fury and wrath come back to my mind. 

"HAAAAAAAADEEEESSSSSS." I screamed as I went forward to attack him. However, when I was going to do that, I felt a feeling of chains appearing from the floor holding me. Making me really angry and my ire explode.

"Woa," Baldur said to the man who saw that and took a step away from him and me. "I didn't know you did something to provoke this guy and I don't know why are you still holding my hand and what kind of place you said, but looking the way he looks to you, it seems you have what I want."

"Indeed I have." He said while he launched the sickle surprising Baldur as he was pulling what would be part of his soul making him look that in surprise, but the funny thing he didn't launch him on his chest or head like he usually does, it was in the direction of his hips, making me confused. But I heard some of my familiar language sentences from Hades. (The fire of the Tartarus tortures the man where when he wants to have pleasure, he will have pain as well. Burn in the ashes where it will make him feel more promiscuous.) 

I saw the dark flames from Tartarus incorporate his feat making Baldur wides open from what he was looking, and he was trying to pull part of his soul to his body but I never saw someone give a kick so much faster in a way Hades kicked on the scotch area from Baldur soul.

I saw the horror and pallid face of Baldur making after the kick. 

After releasing Baldur's soul I couldn't become calm after looking one of my enemies came back.

"HADES WHAT IS THE MEAN OF THIS?" I growled to him, making him look at me like it wasn't surprising what he did.   

"He is an immortal with the torture of never having pain Kratos, he loses his sensitivity or has pain in exchange of immortality and indestructibility. And before you ask something, it wasn't him who make the exchange, it was his mother without his concern, so he seeks pain. And one thing it's the truth about all the gods you killed Kratos, everyone knows how to make pain, and I have to say... sorry for all the troubles I created for you, my two brothers as well. I don't know my sisters but my point is. I want you to listen to me after everything is done okay?" I became speechless from what he said now, he confessed his problems, he understands all the problems it happened, he told me Zeus and Poseidon as well are sorry, but it was easy to say that, but I already killed him, I want to kill him again, but no... I'm not I was like before, he wants to talk to me, and want I listen until the end. I don't know what is his gamble, but I don't know if I will trust him again.

When I decided to refuse, I discovered I was alone, and the chains weren't holding me anymore. I found Baldur, looking in awe of what happened.

"I FELT IT. I FELT PAIN. OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE. I WANT TO ARGHH. WHAT A GLORIOUS PAIN." I could see Baldur smiling and crying while he held his hands on his scotch area. "THIS IS PERFECT, I WILL HOOK SO MANY LADIES TO HAVE PAIN AND PLEASURE IN THE SAME TIME, THANK YOU FOR THE ONE FROM THE TARTARUS, HADES. I WILL ALWAYS BE IN YOUR DEBT." 

He jumped away in happiness, making me look at the place in confusion. I thought the Greek was cruel but it seems the Nordics are crazy.

Ryujin Pov:

I don't know how I did that, but I'm so full I can fell I could explode. I thought my hungry would be like one plate of everything. But I didn't know I could take the same many plates of food against Applejack. I can see in her eyes she couldn't take anymore as well.

It was 3 plates of every kind of food. How did she manage to do that? Better question, how did I manage to do that?" My thoughts are begging me to stop eating. So I decided to listen to my body and mind.

"Wow, and here I thought the competition wouldn't be too shocking like that. Damn, they were head to head and now the two of them suddenly stopped to eating." Rainbow Dash said surprised of that competition, while everypony ate well the meals, the competition was taking care of the place like it was entertaining to watch. 

"Ah don't know yah Ryujin but I will win this." Applejack said while she was gripping her fork again and looking at the pie in one of the last meals there was there. 

"Applejack, let's decide to make that as a tie, you are looking as if your body couldn't take anymore, and if you eat more than your body takes, you don't know what would be the consequences of that," I told her in concern, I don't care of competitions, I'm not Luffy, I couldn't eat 20 bows of rice and 10 plates of meat in a row. I know my body in someway wanted this many of food but I don't know why, but it is on the limit now, and if I force I could become sick.

"Don't tell me what ah can and what ah can't take mister. Ah will prove you as an Apple I can eat even more 2 plates of that and even still be ready to make exercises." Applejack stubbornly ignored my advice and furiously decided to eat another plate of pie over there. While everypony even her relatives are looking in concern to her.

I don't have to say after an hour of that competition Applejack fainted after eating too much and had to go to her room to stay in bed for the rest of her day. Poor Applejack she will lose the tea party at Fluttershy, but what I have to say? I told you so wouldn't be great now, maybe when Big Mac hurts his back and when she starts to think about she can do that I will appear and say that.

Great idea.

Now the only thing missing on the schedule was showing my powers to Rainbow Dash and then going to Fluttershy and I can finally rest after the day.   

I have to say the Apple Family showed really interest about what kind of stories I have and was great receptive for me telling them some advice on how to treat Applejack's stomach while she was a bed. Maybe another day I will come here to check them. 

"Well Rainbow Dash, now we ate a lot, and everypony is okay and ready for the next part of the schedule, I think it's time to show you my magic and give you some demonstration," I said happy, while I could see Rainbow Dash, Princess Celestia, and Spike really excited, while Twilight was smiling happily. I think it was because she wasn't the only pony who vomited on that day and she was happy it wasn't her who didn't listen to me. Twilight your snark mare. 

"BUCKING FINALLY" I could hear Rainbow Dash flying and making a stunt showing how happy she was. 

"Well, Twilight can you teleport us, in somewhere I could have a big area without somepony to give my demonstration of powers?" I decided to say that to Twilight because I fear about destroying some trees from Sweet Apple Acress. And if I do that, Applejack would hunt me down. 

"What are you thinking, Ryujin? I saw the way you fight, and I have to say is really impressive but I fear it doesn't have a place big enough without creating a great damage. I know it will happen as you did to the river." Twilight asked showing excellent points of view. 

"And what about the sky? I can use the swords on the floor and when I demonstrate their powers I could use on the air..." I showed another good point, Ichigo used getsuga tenshou so many times on the sky it looks badass to try sometimes.

"We couldn't let you do that, and what if you decide by accident you attack Cloudsdale direction?" Twilight created another good point, however, I have a big one.

"Well I don't know what kind of city Cloudsdale is, but if I know the direction, I could do it in the opposite direction so it will not hit the city." I gave that idea because I knew what kind of effects it would have, however, I would have a problem..." However, I think if I use a strong attack I could receive a recoil making fly around in the opposite direction. Hum..."

Twilight and I started humming because she found out my point and started to think too, making us a try to find a solution for a good place to train. However, I felt the energy behind me... It was my mother smiling at me.

"And what if I create a great barrier around here making in a minimal area, and later I will ask some of my subjects to reconstruct part of the solo and parts what was destroyed?" While the idea of my mother would make everything easier, I'm not convinced so I was going to answer when she adds a finger at my mouth shushing me.  "And before you say something, I did use some of them to reconstruct part of the old castle because I love the memories over there, and even if had many destructions, they reconstructed everything like it was before."

Okay, now I'm surprised. 

"Are you sure your barrier would take care of everything? Because I can destroy the barrier."e

"You don't have to worry, I have 5 or 7 spells of different kinds of a barrier, I can even try to be as subject of sparring." She suggested to me.

"But... But. What if I hurt you?" I asked in worry, I forgot Rainbow Dash was here. "What if I hurt you so badly and your guards would make me as an assassin trying to kill you?" 

She looked at me like a kind mother would do, I sighed internally because I know that look.

"You don't have to worry about me, I can heal myself the same way Nightmare Moon did to her, just because you are a powerful swordsman that doesn't mean I'm weak." Okay, now I'm convinced from her words after she said that.

"Okay, if you insist," I said walking away from them. Princess Celestia makes Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Spike stay back from were the sparring will be. 

Mom decided to use her horn and make some movements with her hands like she was a magician, and then creating a giant sparkling yellow barrier around us. I think it was show time.

"Princess. I will start using my skills of fire, then I will use the elements of thunder, then the elements of ice and that the elements of water. However, you will not know the sequences of what kind of swords I will use because I could use other swords as well. When you decide to give a pause if you fear it's too much, I will stop and we could wait a bit to continue or stop until next time." I need to make her know that. I wouldn't like to hurt so much a mother I have now.

She smiled at me and created another barrier around her. It was like a flaming shield around her. Interesting. I never heard a kind of shield. Just in Sonic. 

I used the circle of magic in my hands and I decided to use the most basic fire swords I know. 

Now there is just one thing I wanted to do before starting to fight. 

I took my cell phone and decided to use my headphones and plugged in my ear and decided to listen to one of my favorite video games Ost. 



I don't need a bandana to fight serious, just the exact music I said ready for the fight, as the great music came inside of my mind. LET'S GO.  

I will use some of my favorites swords. Come to me. Mystic Judgment. 

After in my hands came the sword of Sun Jian, a blue flare wind came to my hand as well and a medium sword with a golden dragon in the middle of the blue bland reflecting the blue flare around it. Came in my hands surprising the eyes of the Princess in my front.



"Get ready because here I go," I said running to her direction.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third people Pov:

Ryujin went quickly enough to make the ponies almost lose track of him, Princess Celestia was looking to him calmly and waiting for his attacks. 

"Why he isn't using his bandana?" Twilight said making Spike and Rainbow Dash looked at her curious. 

"Why did you say that?" Rainbow Dash asked curiously because it was the first time she was seeing him on a battle.

"He always uses his bandana when he wants to fight seriously." 

"Well, it seems the obvious answer is... he doesn't want to fight seriously to hurt enough Princess Celestia," Spike told her like what the only reason without telling she is his mother in front of Rainbow Dash.

"Oh yeah, that. I forgot he was just to fighting her...wait... WHY WE LET HER FIGHT HIM?" Twilight screamed making them both flinch in their places.

"Come on Twilight, it's just a sparring it's not like..." When Rainbow Dash would assure Twilight everything was fine. A sound of the blast came on the direction they were ignoring. 

Ryujin was using his sword horizontally repetitively, and while using it was like it created a little fireball around the place was attacked, and Princess Celestia was surprised from the sound of the sword clashing the shield, it was a surprising impact, and he was doing repeatedly. Then she heard something like a thunder sound coming from him. 

"Okay, here I go. MUSOU- TIGER CLAW." Ryujin screamed while he slashed with flames coming from his sword, and he gave 2 heavy slashes horizontally and giving a smooth slash at the floor making the flame barrier crackle sound. Surprising everypony over there.

"WOW. That was AWESOME." Rainbow Dash screamed excited from looking at the attack.

Then surprising enough Ryujin changed his sword to another one but looking difference but it was like from the same place they were created. It was a curved blade with an ornamental gold around it. And with a fur behind it. The name of the sword is Mystic Wolf. After changing to another sword the same sound of thunder came from him.



"MUSOU-TORNADO BLAZE" Ryujin said while went forward and spinning multiple times using a top with his sword surrounded in a flaming aura. Making the crack over the fire shield became even louder and a visible in the view of everypony.

"Interesting, you used two kinds of swords to make a combination to make my shield weak. It's really impressive Ryujin but I'm not sure if that will be enough for you to defeat my shield." Princess Celestia said amazed from his two attacks.

" Who said I finished that?" Ryujin said while he changed his sword for another one and this time her eyes became wide when she recognized what kind of sword was. One she saws on his memory and became aware he may be the most experienced kind of sword he knew.

"EXPLOSION" Ryujin screamed when his knew sword impacted with the shield creating an explosion around it and immediately destroying it. Making Princess Celestia receive a damage from the explosion and gasp from tiredness after receiving the destruction of her shield. 

When the others didn't know what happened, they found out Ryujin changed his sword again but this time it was a colorful orange sword with black ornamental over it. 



"Are you all right Princess? Do you need time to rest after that attack?" Ryujin said while he lowed his sword. Making her smile. Taking his headphones out of his ears. 

"I'm fine, I will just need a minute to breathe a bit, I never thought you would use the first sword you have from Rave master to attack me. I have to feel honored. Heheh." Princess Celestia said while having admiration for that kind of sword, she watched the animation when she was passing and walking in the memories of the warrior on her front. "I should have thought about that. Well, I think if we just keep going doing that. We will be late for the party so I will use my strongest barrier and you will have to destroy it."

Princess Celestia decided to concentrate a lot using her most powerful shield, a giant crystal barrier around her.

 

The music finished starting with a new one making Ryujin smile while plugging on his ears again while he was looking at the crystal shield in his front.


  


"Wow. So it seems I have to go with everything. " Ryujin said while he used the same sword. "Explosion."

The impact went extremely then Ryujin jumped the explosion and used again in other angle and turning himself to fly using the recoil of the attack.

Princess Celestia was surprised by the sudden movements, it was like Ryujin were extremely natural with that sword. Like it was part of him, then she heard another explosion after explosion, like making the smoke around her. She couldn't see what was happening however, her crystal shield was intact. 

"SILFARION" Ryujin said while Princess jumped from the heard of the clash of one sword, then it came, again and again, she couldn't see. It was indeed surprising, she couldn't do anything. And it was like coming from all the angles and directions. 

Everypony who was outside looking at the battle, they couldn't imagine how much things they could see. Ryujin was flying every time he tried to hit the shield but it was expelled but it didn't work because he disappeared and coming back to the shield and expelled again. They could see the other sword with a blue spiral over it. 



Princess couldn't see because it was so quick the smoke around the shield was moving like air and creating a tornado around her. 

"COMBINATION" Princess Celestia heard from above her looking at Ryujin who was using the Then she saw in the air Ryujin holding not one or twice but 3 swords in total. One was explosion she could recognize, the other it was a blue sword but that sword was being carried on his mouth? And the last sword was a purple sword who was being carried on his other hand, her eyes shrink from the view of his serious face.



(SILFARION+EXPLOSION+GRAVITY CORE.)

"SANTORYU- SAN GUREN BAKUENJIN (Three words style - 3 Crimson Lotus: Exploding Fire Flame. )" He said turning his attack with full force from her above creating a powerful fire tornado explosion, and when the tornado was powerful enough, it occurred other 2 explosions after it. Making everypony mouths drop and sweat a lot.

"PRINCESS" Rainbow, Twilight and Spike screamed terrified from that sudden extreme powerful attack. 

The tornado of flames it took 3 full minutes, and the ponies can't seeing what happened with Ryujin and the Princess, but when the flames turned down. Ryujin was sweating while the crystal shield was intact, however, the Princess was breathing hard and sweating like a crazy. The most surprising thing it was both of them were okay, however, the floor if it had floor because the explosions were so powerful it was a full hole around them the only missing spot was where Princess Celestia was standing with her shield.

"I have to say, mom, I wasn't confident about your shield would be standing after that," Ryujin said in a low tone just making Princess Celestia hear it, while smile.

"Ryujin if you want my most trustful opinion...I thought the same thing. I think I would die." Princess Celestia said making Ryujin chuckle from his act. "It must have to take a lot of years to learn that to use that."

"Yep, it took me 2 years when I was at..." Ryujin was going to say when he lost the track of his mind trying to know how to explain it.

"Rurouni Kenshin world?" Princess Celestia tried to finish his sentence but he shook his head in denial. 

"More or less, it's strange about relativity, I have my age now, but when I go there and learn everything the years I passed over there it comes back when I come back to my world," Ryujin said while he tried to understand it, so he thought a better way to tell her. "Like, if I passed 10 years at Rurouni Kenshin, when I come back it was like I just passed 1 or 2 months or years. Is really a messing memory trying to understand. So I will use Doctor Who speech, is wibbly wobbly time wimey stuff." 

Princess Celestia giggled from that.

"Well I don't know what it is, but it seems it was the perfect example of something like that." Princess Celestia said giggling making him chuckle.

In another place of Ponyville where a lab was full of experiences and trash products, it was heard a sneeze from a brow stallion checking the humid around him, trying to figure out what was the cause of his sneeze.  

"Well mom, I'm really surprised with this shield, but I still have one card on my sleeve to show you," Ryujin said while he used his hand and creating a magic circle taking not a long and powerful sword, but a little sword with twin blades and a fur behind it. 



"I really hope you protect yourself because even I don't know how strong this will be," Ryujin said while he approached her and not cut, he just touched hard with the blade and after touching she started to hear something tinny then was becoming aloud and he not just did once or twice but 6 times, making 6 tinny sounds growing up. When Princess Celestia was thinking what he was doing. Ryujin runs in panic. "PROTECT YOURSELF OR RUN." 

His screaming made everypony look at him confused, while he was running not with seriousness, but like he was running for his life, and everypony was fearing what would happen. Then it showed an explosion over the shield surprising with another 5 one's explosions over the shield, making Princess Celestia groan in pain from there, the magic around the shield was unstable creating more explosions and making the shield explode as itself creating a crater around there. The explosion was strong enough to make Ryujin fly to another side of the first barrier and the first barrier was cracked after the impact. 

"RYUJIN, PRINCESS." Both names could be heard from the ponies who witness such explosion on their fronts.

They ran in the direction on where the Princess of the sun and her son was laying, each in the opposite direction. Rainbow Dash and Twilight went in the direction of the Princess.

"Spike, go check on Ryujin," Twilight said making Spike nod and go in the direction of the swordsman. 

When they approached the Princess, they could sigh in relief they find out she was up and well however with some bleeding over her face and some smoked parts over her clothes. Coughing some magic steam from her mouth.

"Princess are you okay? What just happened?" Rainbow Dash asked while Twilight checked her for some problems. 

"I'm feeling all right, I just never thought a little sword was capable to create explosions of magical matéria and making me loses all my focus and creating an unstable magic explosion." Princess Celestia decided to use her magic to recover herself while her clothes were still a bit messed. So she decided to use a magic to bring new clothes over here. "I think now I understand he ran away. So how is Ryujin?" 

"We don't know, but we made Spike go check him."

"We are here," Spike said while Ryujin was some scratches over her face and hands, and his body with some dust as well.

"WOHOOOO. Damn, I knew that sword was awesome and a card on the sleeve, I just never imagined it would create such unstable explosion. I should be more careful when it's against magic. Okay, I will just make a rule about it: Just use for the solid material, magic just when you find a way to protect yourself." Ryujin said while he was saying holding his cellphone.

"Are you recording?" Twilight said in disbelief to Ryujin.

"What? No, I was listening to music, somepony record the fight?" 

"Well more or less," Spike said while he showed he was still holding his phone.

"YOU WERE RECORDING ALL THE TIME? " Twilight screamed with the dragon near her.

"Ouch, I rec a bit not full, because it was some parts I was really surprised, but what? I think it was cool to rec that." Spike said while he decided to add on his pocket.

"Cool, later can you share with me and Princess for we make a better review of what we could do?" Ryujin said smiling, while Princess was giggling from Twilight disbelief.

"Indeed was something I really want to watch." Princess Celestia said positive of her experience of battle. "I never thought somepony would find ways to make pressure even with my best defensive magic."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight Pov:

Everypony is crazy. It happened explosion after explosion and they just talk like they were just running.

"Twilight let's go to the final part of the schedule I think it was a great time for we go at Fluttershy," Ryujin said making Rainbow Dash still with her sparkling eyes. When we were just walking in the direction of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash couldn't wait for a talk even more about her experience watching them both battling.

"Ryujin that was awesome, I never thought you would bam and boom, and use that sword like ding and ding, then I heard a boom and another explosion, I was speechless from the first move then I saw the other sword and I thought WHAT? He didn't finish, and then you finished using the explosion of the third sword anyway what is the name of that sword?" Rainbow Dash said quickly like Ryujin just received a number one fan. While he was still trying to process all the words she said quickly it was like she was imitating Pinkie Pie in his front.

" Well, Explosion," Ryujin said making her look at him in disbelief. "Trust me, is the name of one of his forms, the true name of the sword is called 10 commandants and each of them has one form and I used 3 of them on that battle." 

"And I was aware of the Explosion form because I had knowledge of that form." Princess Celestia approached on his side continuing the conversation while we were almost over there.

"Wow, and how did you manage that Princess?" Rainbow Dash asked while I made a shit grin and Spike grinned.

"Oh, Rainbow Dash is from the internet." She said making Spike and Ryujin laugh while I and Rainbow Dash sighed from that same joke.

"Well, later I want to know more about that kind of sword." Rainbow Dash said while she came in over near the cottage. 

While I and Ryujin was walking at the door. 

I don't know why Ryujin is so serious about me, I know I can be stubborn sometimes but treating me like that, it's just not fair. Well at the least there is no way that could get worse. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wait. ear flop, eye flutter, knee twitch?" A voice came from somepony who was breaking the fourth wall again. "Hum... strange." 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

From a moment Ryujin was going to go near the door, he stepped away like he was jumping in the same direction of Rainbow Dash.   

Why Ryujin quickly step the side of the door?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Princess Celestia Pov:

I was almost near the cottage enjoying the talk with Spike when I saw the door from the cottage create a huge slam breaking it and the door itself flight over my student in the next second. 

Making me, Spike and the others look at Twilight in concern and see what happened over the door. And what surprised me was to look somepony I could recognize but she was totally different now.  

She grew up a foot or 2 feet her mane became much longer, became dark blue as the sky night, wearing one of my dresses. How dare she? But the gasping part she was standing like she just kicked the door like it was nothing.

      

"Hello, sister. It's good to see you and the others over here." Her voice became more mature and she didn't use the royal we this time? What happened?

Spike and Ryujin came over to help Twilight who was under the table. 

"Luna? What happened to you?" I asked in worry and a bit furious over here taking one of my dresses. 

"I know we promised to never touch or borrow the clothes of each and other but I had grown a bit and I needed to have clothes on this day, so I will buy a new one for you. And for what happened... let's just say nightmare Moon never will come back to try to corrupt me." She saw in my eyes like she was reading my thinking. Well, we played like this sometimes. But saying Nightmare Moon will not come back to her. I don't know what does she means.

"Why everything had to happen to me today?" I heard my faithful student complaining about what happened to her.

"Who knows? Maybe today wasn't your day. You didn't think about something who challenged the fate right?" Ryujin asked making my student's eyes get wide open.

And facepalming at least 3 times.

"How can I be so stupid," Twilight said while everypony was helping her to get up and walk.  

"You are just needing to live the real life and learn from your mistakes. Don't be so down, it happens. Trust me I remember when I..." Ryujin was walking when he first saw Luna on her changed form. "Your Highness it's a surprise to see you."

The others looked surprised by Princess Luna had changed from her look, but I could see the smile of Luna became sweet like she just had a kind of nostalgia. 

"OH RYUJIN YOU GREW UP SO MUCH. I STILL REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE JUST A LITTLE BOY WITH MY SWEET CHILD." For my surprise, she wasn't using the royal canterlot voice and still, she screamed like a girl who finds her long-lost friend after some years.

Wait, she said sweet child? What does that mean?

"Wait, what? I don't remember you when I was a kid or even find a son of yours."

"Of course you don't... If you don't remember, I think it was because of my clothes. I usually use a cosplay of were garurumon." Then my eyes and from my son as well became wide because we knew who was the only pony I mean... human who would use that.

"ARE YOU MELCHIOR'S MOTHER?" I and Ryujin screamed the same time making the others look confused from our shout.

"Yep, it's me." She said smiling, then for the first time in this month, I saw Ryujin step up and have a solid position on his feet, making him stop and nervous.

"Ms. Lunes, I never thought I could see you over here, what a surprise." He said like a soldier giving a report. He was sweating and nervous.

"Oh, look at you Ryujin, I know you wanted to change your name, but looking as Sanosuke Sagara, you indeed look handsome. I'm sure whomever the pony who will be in love with you, it will be really happy." I saw Lunes giggling from the blush of Ryujin at the moment. Then she decided to look at me ."Well, before you start asking what I have done with your sister, the answer is... I'm she, I was her all the time. At the moment you imprisoned me at the moon, I was bored and if Nightmare Moon would be stuck with my body, I decided to make my soul to another place somewhere I was never before. And when I was there, I met somepony in a lovely way, I had a job transferring souls to another dimension, we adopted someone and you know the rest of the story."

I was speechless from the resume of her story, and she said like she didn't mind. I was going to ask more but I found out she wants to talk in private at Canterlot.

"Hum... that explains a lot. So, sister... what's the reason for your visit?"

"Well I decided to make a surprise visit to you and the others, while I missed somepony so much I really wanted to meet him right now." She said to me while making her head showing us the way. "Let's go, the party is almost ready."

She said while she went inside, after leaving Ryujin sighed in relief making everypony looking at him. 

"Wow, I always get nervous when Melchior's mother talk to me. She is scary sometimes." He said while gulping. "You know..." 

I think I understand why, it seems the two people whom I saw in his memory was indeed one of behind of Luna, and I think it must be something she did to make to has a contact with me in exchange of Luna never become sad of passing 1000 years at the moon. While I can agree with her reason for accepting the deal, I still have a mind to think about that. And not just Ryujin but even I shrove from my place remembering the moment she discovered me inside of his memories. 

"So now Luna recovered her memories after being 1000 after being trapped at the moon or after Ryujin defeated her evil mode?" Spike asked making us snap and he was curious from the way we are looking pale.

"Yeah, Ryujin? Why are you afraid of her if you just defeated Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked while she still trying to not sound cold because she still is cold when it comes about Nightmare Moon. While Rainbow Dash raised her eyebrow while she went inside with us.

"Well, Nightmare Moon is one thing, but I remember once at my childhood I visited a friend of mine asking what does his mother does, and he told me she is a people who sales a good weapon and even teaches martial arts, and once I asked to her to teach me some lessons." Ryujin decided to tell part of his story while he stopped his track when he saw someone at the couch.

I looked at the direction he was looking and I found someone wearing a yellow suit with black pants and an eye-patch drinking a cup of tea while I have a sensation I know his familiar presence. It seems another human. Wait... if he is a human... that means.     

"In the end, he just ended up begging to me to never leave her alone at the same combat sparring with him ever again." The man interrupted my thoughts when he finished the end of the story, making Fluttershy and Luna giggled while I and the others are shocked.

"Yeah. I remember that day, I think it was after you came from your first or second journey and wanted to be strong to defeat some monsters before deciding, in the end, to go to a journey to meet the pirates." Luna said making Melchior chuckle while everyone at the room stares at her. "Everypony I want to all meet my adopted son, Melchior de las notches del Martes y Jueves. Or if you want the translation Melchior of the Night of Tuesdays and Fridays."  

"Oh so that does it means your name?" Fluttershy said looking interested, while Melchior nodded while he drank his cup.

"what?" I think it was a sequel but I remember I started the reaction effect. 

"What?" Ryujin said next.

"What?" Spike said confuse as well.

"What?" Rainbow Dash said in Disbelief.

"WHAT?" Twilight screamed pressing her head with her hands. "I cannot take any more, please tell me this day cannot be weirder."

I saw Ryujin petted her head, shaking his head in the answer to her question. Making her sigh in sadness. "Can you borrow me your cell phone to listen something calming to make my mind stop overworking before I get crazy?"

Ryujin looked at her in surprise, and then he smiled giving her his cell phone.

"Here, look at this video to refresh your mind. Trust me, your brain will thank me later." 

Twilight sighed while she started looking at the scream while it showed a different kind of beat, this time was a slow one and with a good pace and making Twilight eyes not became wide but a more relaxed type while she started to watch from the moment I think it was good to show her, definitely making her relax a lot while she enjoyed with a smile any single thing happened at the video.

"So what did you show to her?" Melchior said while offered tea to me and to Ryujin who sat at the chair. 

I decided to take a look over what she was watching and saw many silly things but for some reason, it was made perfectly and for a funny thought it makes me feel better just watching a second of that, like someone was making a vase and it was doing so perfectly, it was fun to watch.

"Try to not get satisfied video," Ryujin said making me look at him, while Melchior gasped happily. 

"Oh man, I love that kind of videos. If you have the worst day at work, just watch 10 minutes and you can sleep really well at night." Melchior said let it out a great sigh of satisfaction. 

"I never heard that kind of challenge video." Luna in my side looks at them confused from what they are talking about.

"Well mom, it appeared some years after you and dad disappear I think 4 or 5, it was a thing now over youtube," Melchior replied to her while he took his cell phone and shared with her. 

"Really? I will see it when I have time. And I have to say, never thought this kind of cellphone existed. It looked really advanced. This screen seems really easy to use wow. I ever told you about the time when I used my first cell phone?" Luna looked curious and examined every kind of it before giving back to Melchior.

He rolled his eyes in the answer to her question.

"You kidding? You made me experiment everything, that's why my first cell phone was a Nokia."

"The indestructible?"Ryujin asked in surprise.

"That one," Melchior said while Ryujin sighed in awe. Making me looking in confusion to them.

"What do you mean by that?"  I asked while I saw Luna rolled her eyes.

"Well, it was a rumor the people created saying that kind of cellphone was so hard it was like every time you drop it on the floor, the cell phone couldn't crash and broke but the floor instead." She said while making both of the humans nod their heads in agreement.

When I was going to ask what was about. I heard a sigh of relief from my student who was smiling.

"Now, I'm feeling really great, thanks for sharing this kind of video Ryujin. Never thought just looking at that made my brain refresh." Twilight said while giving his cellphone back.

"Well, I think is time for our tea, and meet everypony better," Fluttershy said caring a plate with pastries and toasts, while her bunny was carrying a knife, I don't know the reason of both humans looking eat and other apprehensive. They looked in relief when they found out it was a butter knife. 

Melchior snapped his fingers making all the table get many chairs and the tea sat ready. While after some minutes the door knock was heard and the other ponies as Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie appeared.

After some minutes talking and meeting everypony and having a great conversation about themselves. Twilight decided to show a ticket to Fluttershy.

"Oh yeah Fluttershy, I received 6 tickets of Royal Canterlot Galloping Galla and I had to give to my friends so..." Fluttershy gasped in excitement, while Ryujin grumbled something while me, Luna and Melchior heard while the others couldn't.

"Goddammit Twilight" 

Melchior chuckled while Spike guessed what happened since Ryujin really hate when he remembers about that. When she was talking about the animals of Canterlot I have a doubt that could work, they just speak the old language of Equestrian primitive Era, I had the desire to say something but at the moment I was going to say something my sister said a mentally sush me. Well, I have to say that day will be backfired but I have a feeling the new party will be great.

"Oh yeah Ryujin, do you have any idea of where you are going to stay for a while?" Luna decided to ask that question and now I remember I forgot to ask something like that, but I think I may know his question.

"Well, I'm thinking to create a cabin at Everfree forest for some weeks or months, but Twilight and the others insisted I stay at Ponyville, so I will be at the library where Spike and Twilight are living for a while," Ryujin said while making everypony look at him in shock.

"Were you really seriously thinking about making a house over there darling? Dude that place is outrageous."Rarity was the first who was complaining about that place.

"Yeah, I saw what you did with your demonstration and I don't think you could improve even better." Rainbow Dash said in disbelief while her face was like what the heck.

"Well and that's where you are wrong Rainbow Dash. How can I put that in a way you all can understand." Ryujin decided to rethink on what he was going to say.

"Well, imagine we just defeated just one what could be a possible threat over Equestria, imagine if there are others as well? And each of them has different powers and different ways to defeat. I took much time from Nightmare Moon because she never saw my swords of anti-magic. And what if there is kind of monsters who is the same kind of my sword and could defeat all of them by pure might and raw power?" What he just said made much sense, I could saw the looks on everypony at the room thinking about that. "And trust me, you are the reason for stick together forever and never break apart."

"What do you mean by that partner?" Applejack asked while I have a slight idea of what is his point.

"Let's imagine about Nightmare Moon now, and how she could defeat you easily if she wanted to kill you," Ryujin said in hard words making everypony at the room flinch. "I know it's hard but if one of you get killed it's over. Like you all are part of the elements of harmony, while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna could use it by themselves. She tried to break you apart by making one of you chicken out, but what happened it was the opposite, she gave you a meaning of what kind of element of harmony to use and why. If she didn't do that, if Fluttershy never found the manticore I guided to her, do you all would try to think what Fluttershy was doing while all the other 5 was thinking how to give a spark at Elements of harmony?"

Everypony's mouth dropped so hard it hit the floor in such thinking.

"Now you know you never be apart in a fight, because 5,4,3 or even a 1 element alone, would be useless in the fight. That's why I want to train, because I alone don't depend on the elements, and I have to be even stronger because others could have magic healing while I don't have it." Ryujin looked at me and Princess Luna while it could be a good reason for him being uncomfortable from that, he was bleeding a lot in the first time I saw him. "Others can be at the fight during hours or even days. While I couldn't even take 15 minutes of fighting. One of my best transformations I just could use 2 kinds of special attacks before it let it out the transformation and make me exhausted." 

"Oh? What transformation you used?" Melchior raised his eyebrow and asked curiously.

"Tiburon" Ryujin answered directly making Melchior smile slyly.

"And you..." 

"It was male." He rushed Melchior but that made him laugh aloud.

"Tiburon? I have to say was a great choice being attacked by cascuda almost drowned me. You were loyal from that attack." Luna decided to be part of the conversation while made everypony unless Twilight look confuse.

"Sorry to say about that Princess, but I really wanted he kills you on that attack." Twilight decided to gave a sighed while she was still uncomfortable with Luna over there.

"Oh, that's okay. That bitch deserved. I know it was me but damn. That bitch always was that kind of emo type you know?" I think I will take a lot of time to get used to this Luna, while she waved her hand like it was okay and making ponies looking in confusion at her. Just Ryujin and Melchior were agreeing with her. "Talking about your problem Ryujin, I may know some spells to help you with that. Melchior my moon, come here to help me."

Melchior stood up while he heard Ryujin chuckling and the mares giggling as well, but he didn't mind. And stood near to Luna while she whispered some things to him.

"I think I can do that, but I don't know how much magic it will take." The boy itself was unsure of what my sister told him what to do.

"Relax. It's a simple spell. You just need to concentrate in an area where is the perfect location for it." Luna assured what suppose to be a spell on his level.

"Spell?" Twilight asked picking the interest from the conversation. "What kind of spell suppose to be?"

"Just a door projection spell. It creates a door from where you suppose to live but it makes like a location where you suppose to go. Like if Ryujin wants to have to go to Everfree forest but still live on Ponyville, he could just open the door and then he will be in Everfree forest when he wants." Luna waved her hands while making Twilight gasped in awe, and the others became surprised, even me didn't know it existed that kind of spell.

"That makes me remember..." Ryujin said being thoughtful about what it is. 

"Anywhere door," Melchior said making Ryujin look at him with eyebrow wide. 

"From Doraemon? You choose a bad example dude, take another one." Ryujin said making Melchior roll his eyes and shaking his head.

"And what about Arrancar from Bleach?" He suggested after thinking a bit.

"That's a perfect example. So it would be just like that?" Ryujin said smiling but being hesitant of how easy would be to do that.

"I think so. I don't know, I'm still recovering." Melchior told him while I was looking at Luna and she seemed really pleased from the way they are talking.

"Anyway, what just happened to you? You seemed well to me, but for the way you are talking it seems you were beaten really hard." Ryujin asked making everypony look at the other boy who was just smiling. While Luna was trying to look away from something I can guess what it is.

"Well I was working and there was a ruckus over there, and one of my friends was in danger. So I just swapped places with her, fought a battle, I won but it seems now I'm stuck in here but I don't know... That's everything I could tell you now." He said while he decided to snap his fingers and created another tea for everypony at the room, even the animals were surprised because from that snap made all the animals receive a bowl of the meal for them.

"So now you are stuck with us," Ryujin asked while everypony was talking among themselves and I forgot what they were talking, now I'm really interested in where this will go. 

"Yep," Melchior said nodding his head.

"What do you plan to do now?" Fluttershy asked interested from what he will do from now on. 

"Well, live, of course, try to make a merchant place over here and even train my magic. I became a displaced as well." Melchior said the word I kind think I know now. The people who were sent to another dimension is called displaced.

"Oh do tell." Ryujin opened his eyebrow interested from the answer. 

"Yeah, Ainz Own Goal, Yujirou Hamna, Bill Cipher and Daffy Duck the mage," Melchior said while my sister was curious and confused from that names, Ryujin was looking at him in disbelief. 

"Wait, so now you are a divinity in training plus best fighter in the entire world plus two supreme magicians of the entire history?" Ryujin asked making me and my sister raise our eyebrows in disbelief as the way he said that.

Everypony at the room stopped their talking after they listened to the disbelief of the human who was still looking at the poor boy who was smiling sheepishly.

"Well.. cough." He coughed fed making him even more nervous trying to find his voice again. "When you put in that words, it makes me feel like I'm OP with many OTP skills."

"No, really?" Ryujin said like he was sarcastic on that moment. 

"But I'm it's not that simple, I cannot have access of all that power, all the displaced people must have a restriction for try to improve from the beginning, and I am not an exception. I'm just using Bill Cipher skills because when more I use, better it can be to create the same spell. But for having even more powers I just need to create contracts like his true self." Melchior said stomping his foot to snap the thoughts from everypony at the room. 

From that answer, Ryujin hummed like he understood what he said.

"So now you have to create deals like the entity you are."

"In resume yes."

"Well, that makes a lot of sense."

"It does?" Everypony in the room even me asked Ryujin.

"Yeah, I had to train a lot from using all my swords and still is imperfect, and my friend will have the same obstacles as me, but in a different way."

When more I stay near to my son, more I understand him and more questions I make about him at the same time.

I think I will use today an opportunity to learn much about them. And the other ponies over here as well. I wish this tea party would stay for the eternity, but I know every good party it has to come to an end. Like soon it will be the time for me to bring down the sun and the night starts. Sigh... 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kratos Pov:

Crossing the river was really hard for me, after receiving so many challenges, I'm tired of that. I just wanted to help my son to make the ashes of my wife at the mountain and for some reason two stupid sons of Odin decided to make everything difficult, and now my son in a complicated state, and I have to go in a mission by myself to the place called Hella, but I have one thing I have to take before my mission in the inferior world of what they could say. Another Tartarus to take care.

Sigh.

I saw the storms with a red mist around where I live and stepping directly at the door, I walked until the secret place I forbade my boy to ever go because of something I really wouldn't want to show him, my past and what he is... but now from that past is finally coming back to haunt me again. Even the monsters are becoming really annoying, more from the head who was stuck at my belt. 

I opened the side door under the animal skin I had over there and it was a red fabric covered something hidden at the door. I took it and looked at the fabric with golden lines at it showing the fabric was from Sparta, the place I lived and I still remember... My hands were trembling after the same feeling I have every time I remember. I looked at my arms who was still have that feeling on that day... I touched one of my arms, then I decided to open the fabric showing my most powerful weapon, and the only thing to remember me who was I... no... what was I...

The touching at my blade of chaos it was a feeling I forgot a long time ago. It wanted to fight, it wanted justice, it wanted blood... it wanted revenge. It was like he was making a coral around my ears. I could listen to the music around myself. My hands were still trembling after touching my blades, I decided to retrieve and close my hands to have control of my arms.

After the thunder, it came the most annoying voice I tried to ignore during all my eternity.

"There is nowhere you can hide, Spartan." The voice came at my door, but I ignored while I was holding the chains and was covering my arms around it. "Put as much distance between you and the truth as you want."

I ignored while still using the chains to cover my own arms.

The voice didn't stop and became even more annoying to me.

"It changes nothing."The voice continued for my own displeasure. "Pretend to be everything you are not... teacher...husband...father...but there is one unavoidable truth you will never escape:"

"That you are a bitch, Athena? Oh, don't worry. That was the truth everybody on Olympus ever knew." A familiar voice came behind the from Athena making me look again and for the first time became a relief to see Hades appearing again. I don't know what was better, to hear his voice, or he in some way decided to call Athena a female dog making her look behind narrowing her eyes.

"What did you just said?" Athena asked coldly.

"Come on, after everyone discovered your plan after what you did with Kratos. Aphrodite and Apollo said you acted so much as a spoiled brat and rude person it even stuck on the nerve. They even decided to make a word of that kind of woman, a female dog who represents the whores of the entire world, you don't even know until today but now you are a symbol of the whores in the entire world, congratulations." Hades said while he clapped to congratulate her in a way I  after thinking a bit I tried hard to continue with my serious expression about that. I have to say, Aphrodite and Apollo finally made my hate dissipate a bit. I tried to not chuckle from that commentary.

"WATCH YOUR WORDS YOUR FOOL" Athena glared hard to him. "How do you even know what kind of things?"

"Come on Athena, I thought you were the smart one. I can't believe they even made me a villain on Saint Seiya and made her a good goddess, come on that was a lie." He scoffed while he murmured that part I don't know what he was talking about.

"You? YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD."

"Durr... I was... but one thing you the goddess of wisdom forgot. I'm master of the god of death you stupid spoiled brat. I'm his boss, and we always create a new role of entities after we die." He said in a cold tone like he was scowling the most annoying thing at me, for which I was a bit grateful for Hades to help me, but that makes me think about what he said. "You don't know how angry I was after discovering my precious niece what I loved really hard was a spoiled brat who used Kratos as a puppet against all Olympus. Trust me, now I'm not the bad god of the inferior world who wants to punish the others by pleasure, not anymore. Now I'm a man respected by society for the entrepreneurial way in which he takes care of his employees."

Some words of him make really confusing for me to understand the situation.

"You... YOU." Athena was losing her patience with Hades, and I have to say. I was really interesting to watch, making me appreciate what is happening.

"Hey what is happening over there?" The voice of the dwarf at my bell made me remember he was there.

"It's a family matter, nothing you should be involved," I said in a serious voice, making the head stop talking.

"It's impossible if you are indeed my uncle you should be more somber and ugly." Athena laughed making Hades rise his eyebrow.

"Really? That's everything you got? Even my mother in law can elaborate a better insult than you, and she is my sister. Well if you are smart then I will give you what the Chinese would say: the slap in the face. For someone you think you are the brain of my brother, let me tell you he was stupid, and a child born from a stupid brain it was a stupid child. And what about your look? Heck in the way we live now, you would just be an old woman, never would get married and don't try to make that excuse you want to be virgin because even if you want there is no man in the entire world who would be attracted for a statue who wants to try to be a villain wannabe." Hades in just one minute could make many insults on a way I finally understand the slap in the face meaning, but I don't know what kind of creatures name Chinese would be.

"ENOUGH."

"Yeah, I have to say. You still were looking in the statue appearance? Couldn't try to be more modern on the world around you were being? Heck, look at Kratos, he even was in an appearance of Nordic right now. He is mixing well with the cultures over there. While Sparta, Greek, Athens and other places around Italy were totally destroyed." He said in a voice looking at me, I'm not sorry about what I did. I destroyed by revenge and I don't regret it... but I wish it would end in another way, many humans must have died over there. But I was interrupted when he continued. "Until the Christians came over there at Rome and corrected all that mistakes we did, heck even I'm thankful to them to have been so affected, now most part of the world is getting know about their religion and becoming more effective while we became just myths and nothing more."

Athena's eyes became wide, while my curiosity gets the better of me. These Christians fixed the mistakes of what they did? And even Hades became thankful to them?       

"Athena, your mistake was trying to live inside of Kratos mind, however, you never continued your existence after your death and now you are just living inside of Kratos memories and mind, and you cannot create another entity of you. However now Kratos. I didn't come here just to insult Athena even I enjoy doing that... I know about Atreus." Hades said to me while right now my mind finally was clear and Athena was no longer over there.

"And what do you want?" 

"I told you, you may want my help after, and now is your time for me to help you, in exchange to listening to me," Hades said polite, making me narrow my eyes while guessing what would be.

"Okay, if you want to talk, now is not a good time for it."

"He is a Spartan, part of his past, he is a god just like us, but hiding from him was indeed a good idea." When he said that made my eyes get wide open as I look at him in disbelief. "Kratos, what we did was horrible for you, you didn't deserve what happened. Ares is punished every time he tries to think the same plain again, and we use Hercules to punch him at his face every time. So I think it's a good way for him stop to think on stupid plans. Well thinking now... I wished I didn't know about the Titans, they were always a headache for me and my employees. The time of conquering was over eras ago... I mean eras in the future, but now I just wanted peace and work in the job I love, be a boss and make every soul enjoy the afterlife."

When more I talk with him, more I can feel his sincerity.

"But now my grandfather will resurrect, Uranus will come after the true death of my father. And it will break the balance of life and death as well..." I know where this will goes, and my eyes became narrowed as I wanted to say that from now on.

"I..."

"LISTEN TO ME, KRATOS," Hades screamed not like he was angry but it was like he despaired. "This isn't a silly mission of that kind of stupid conquest or conqueror armies about it. This is the balance of life and death, where it will create chaos and destroy everything around the earth. Not just the lives but the death itself. I'm not offering a mission of trying to just defeat my grandfather... I want to offer to you all the payments, all the rights, all the dreams you have to become truth to just become my employee..."

"You cannot..." I narrowed my eyes but I was surprised by another outburst of him.

"I CAN AND I DID IT." He screamed taking my attention again. "I broke my own rules but I did it just to find a way to forgive myself and reward you from everything you did and all the problems we and our family did to you. The souls of your daughter Calliope and this new wife who is a giant if you didn't even know... I have them, you can fulfill your destiny to help Atreus to launch her ashes on the mountain at her world. But her soul is still with me, and I want to make them eternal just in one place for you share your eternity with them between the life and the death like the harmony we have in the world."

At that moment I don't know how but my hand went directly on his neck, I didn't know when I was up and went in his direction but I was glaring to him because of what he said.

"How dare you to do that?" 

"I dared myself to give you what you lost, and while one of your wives cursed you so much to never agreed with that, the others were consent about that, and I didn't force them to do that, they actually accepted my way to ask you sorry for being a jerk and destroy everything you love. HECK, EVEN YOUR BROTHER DEIMOS IS ALIVE NOW." He said ignoring my hand over his neck, and his eyes showed like he was being truthful about what he said, then I released my hand making him look at me.

"And what about Atreus," I said narrowing my eyes to him.

"Simple, we cure him, and you complete your mission then you bring him with you to live with his new house with your family. I know he will be a bit hesitant in the first moment, but he will enjoy what the future will share to him."

"And what would be my job?"

"You never heard about this job before, but you would just stay there alert and be vigilant around the place, even if some people make you assign your name on some objects or even will try to make some acting, but when the monsters appear or even a signal of a Titan... Don't have mercy over them, even if you want help all my employees can help you as well. This isn't a mission Kratos, this is a job, and the difference between them is a mission it takes a long time to accomplish with just one reward, while a job you work periodically and always become rewarded after the month." Hades doesn't hesitate from saying that. It's strange the way the gods are telling me now, it seems different because before they just wanted me to accomplish my missions in exchange of weapons or even a false promise of my nightmares. 

I was thinking on what to say when he clapped his hand making me look at him.

"Let's go, we have a child to save." 

"You will come?"

"Are you kidding? I know inferior worlds like the palm of my hand, it would be easier to help you to over there and quickie help my grand-nephew to be cured, I want to make a good impression on him. And don't worry, even my brother you know who became better, well, he is a bit jerk but he is less than kind of monster when he was in the first century."

"I liked him already." The voice of my belt said aloud making connect my palm at my face.

"Wow, in the ancient eras you Kratos my relative, created the facepalm. Your father would be so proud of you." Hades said making me grumble a bit... Well, I have to say, this duo was less annoying than Athena, and that made me have a feeling of hope after a long time.
