Twilight Sparkle's POV c. 3,205 AF





What is happening? I remember being transfixed by something calling out to me. Next thing I know a powerful magic surge caused me to snap out of my haze. I'm staring in bewilderment at this being, from the sound of its voice it's female. Wearing a white and blue dress that Rarity would appreciate, but what caught me off guard are her words. she spoke neighphoese? "Uh, what?" I could only uttered, slightly embarrassed by my reaction.
The being blinked as she looked at me. "Oh, pardon me. " she replied, clearing her throat. "Are thou my master?" holding her hand up "I am Saber" she bowed lightly.

I felt everything halt as my eyes bugged out. "Wh-what?! " processing what she said. "Um, what do you mean by master? And w-when you say S-saber? Did you mean the first King?" But how's that possible, the being is clearly a female from her frame and features. Saber was a king. Can a female be king? I have so many questions and so little time to process everything. Plus this 'Saber' had powerful magic, i can feel it, she radiate power and authority as equal or even greater than Princess Celestia?! I looked over to only find Starlight in the same situation, stunned into staring in silence. I can't blame her.
"Look at the back of your hands. If you find a red seal, you are indeed my master. And Yes I am called Saber, I'm glad to hear Equestria is still standing strong even with my absence." she nonchalantly explained. I hold my hands out and sure enough on the back of my right hand have an intricate 3 part symbol. Is this the seal she talking about. "Wait.. i'm your ma-master?"

With a flourished bow, the woman stood tall. "Indeed, I am your servant. Your sword. I shall protect thee henceforth as thy knight." She told me, and that did it. I can't handle this, my body shudder and i feel my vision fade, the last thing i hear was Starlight calling out my name before blissful sleep claimed me.





Saber's POV




How odd, my new master's mane looked frazzled as I watch perplexed as her eye twitched before her body stiffly falls back. The other mare catching her. "Twilight!" Oh, that's her name? Lovely name. I looked upon the other mare, must be a friend if they're inside the old castle together. 
"Excuse me" I called out "Will she be alright? I hope i didn't frighten her." that caught her attention, she looked up to me. She gawked and gently shift my unconcious master. 
"Yes, i'm surprised I'm not freaking out myself. Are you really Saber? The king of E-equestria? We like to apologize for out intrusion to your tomb!" she bowed. I looked over the room.
"Ah, yes it doth looked like a tomb. Doth had done nothing wrong. What is thy name? I heard her name is Twilight yes?" 

"Oh yes. She's princess Twilight Sparkle. My name is Starlight Glimmer your majesty." She introduced herself nervously. I can't blame her. It's not everyday you witness something bizarre as a person waking up from a stone coffin. 
"Greetings. A Princess you say? Hm, of course she is an alicorn. I should have noticed. Let's move this conversation somewhere more comfortable?" I suggests, nodding to the door. She nod in reply and carefully lift master Twilight by her arm. I walked over to help her as I guide them into the other room. I set Twilight down on a chair, dusting my hands. "Now, may I know what i missed over years I've been sleeping?" I asked as I pulled another chair and sat down. 
"It's going to be a long story." She said as she sat down herself. "But let's start off with just the basic. Equestria has not seen any war for a thousand years now. Discord is reformed, sort of . He's still mischievous."
"Lil Discord is always mischievous, but what did he need to reform? He and Celestia are best friends when I ruled." I asked, getting her to winched. "Oh boy.. where do i begin" she replied "How about tell me what did he do that he needed to be reformed?"

So she told me how a thousand years ago Lil Dissy decide to try to take over the country but lost when Celestia and Luna sealed him into stone. They also had fought a tyrant sometime later that slain Amore . I was sadden when i heard my friend was killed. I would have wished i faced this coward Sombra myself. I'm glad those two pulled it off, but what she said next bothered me. 
"Then after than Nightmare Moo.." she stopped, my interest piqued at her alarmed expression 
"Da-re?" i asked getting her to nervously chuckle to wave me off "Don't worry about it" she tried reassuring me, my eyes only narrowed in suspicion. "How much can you tell me about my master?" I asked changing the subject for now.
Perking up she smiled "Oh, that i can tell you. She saved me from being a fool. I was angry but she pulled me out of making such a big mistake. Took me in as her pupil as I learn to better myself and make new friends. She told me she was just a unicorn just a year or two ago. I haven't asked how she ascended yet, but she mentioned something about the elements." I stiffen at the mention of them. Starswirl's project was a success? That was good news. 
"Who are the bearers?" I asked 
"Oh, besides Twilight? Her friends. Their names are Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity. Fluttershy and Applejack" She listed off, I nodded in appreciation. Surprise to hear the Apple line had survived this long, and the name Applejack still carried on to the generation. Hopefully this bearer is just as hardworking and diligent as her ancestor.  She explain what their elements represent and what they do on the side. She doesn't know of all their adventures but I'm interested in meeting this bearers soon. Our conversation cut short when we both hear stirring.

I looked to my master watching her slowly wake up groaning."Starlight, that was a weird d-.." she start to say when her eyes focused on me. I greeted with a slight nod. Starlight gave her a strained grin. "It's not a dream isn't it?" Starlight shook her head. 
"It's not master. We're simply discussing about your friends, i would like to meet them." I watched her sitting up straight.She look as if shes trying to calm down.
"Ok, yeah that's a good idea. I h-have to return anyway and and write a report to the princess. Let's head back to ponyville" she stood up dusting her skirt off. Awkwardly shuffling off towards the entrance. 
Standing up to follow her, I looked over to ms Glimmer "Are thou sure she's alright?" I asked, unconvinced by their forced smiles. She sighed and followed along "Hopefully." she can only mustered in response as we continue our trek through the old castle towards the entrance. Along the way I pulled an old sword from one of the displayed armors, you can never too careful when you travel into the Everfree.
