Marked with Power

Traveling to the Capital

As I was walking I saw a wagon on the outskirts of town and saw the purple unicorn from the floor enter with a pillow and what looked to be a book. I decided not to go up to the wagon because I saw the lights in the wagon go out. I had just then realized the sun was starting to set. It felt like I had only gotten out of Discord's Dimension a few hours ago. I started to look for a place to set up camp when I saw a familiar-looking purple dragon.

It seemed to notice me and flew right toward the castle in town, so I decided to stop at the base of the mountain. I grabbed Pisica and had him transform to take a watch overnight. I woke up in the morning to find a digital alarm clock next to me reading eight forty-nine am, it then turned to eight fifty and started playing a song about winter that got stuck in my head. I decided to transform Pisica so I could climb up to the next set of tracks.

As I was climbing I again saw the purple dragon fly to where I saw the wagon. After a few minutes, I felt a wave of energy, and there was a flash at the base of the mountain. I saw the purple unicorn and the dragon at the base of the mountain. Suddenly a beam shot past me and I had three choices: run, fight or try to talk it out, I decided to use my new power to try to negotiate.

I went ghost and entered phasing mode and flew down making it so any beams would pass through me. As I got down to the base the beams stopped and the dragon flew away. "Hi, I would like to know why you are attacking me?" I said as I set foot at the base of the mountain only to have another beam shoot at me, that when it fizzled out left a long trail of destruction, like what would be left by a ship crashing.

After this, she stood there with her mouth open in shock. "What, why, how did it miss?" she said this and soon she started babbling. I decided to walk up and sit so I was at eye level with her.

"Again I would like to know why you are attacking me?" I said this time adding a bit of anger in my voice. She seemed to notice this and stumbled back a bit the measurement, not the coin.

"I was told that you kill dragons and were after my friend." she said with a tremble in her voice that showed she was scared.

Her horn started to glow so I thought fast and grabbed her. After the flash of light, I found myself to be in the castle in Ponyville. A few rooms away I could hear the pony calling for someone called Twilight.

I sat down at a table that looked like it had a map. Soon another flash happened and I saw the purple one that had both wings and a horn. "Hi as you know my name is Jason, what is yours?" I said as she looked around and then saw me.

"I guess that's two more who need to be informed of this situation. Sorry about that. I am Princess Twilight Sparkle. I guess I should have introduced myself last time you were here, but the situation was less than perfect. Those two are, Spike my assistant, and my pupil, Starlight Glimmer."

"Nice to finally know your name. Now if you excuse me I am going to Canterlot. Would you let Celestia know I am going to visit her? I'm going ghost." I said as I had decided to turn ghost and fly to the capital, as I got to the mountain I found a familiar-looking crystal that I had no information about. I decided to climb up for a bit to strengthen my arms and legs. As I climbed I saw a minotaur and two goats.

I decided to rest as I reached a ledge. After searching I found a cave that was ten feet tall, and seven feet wide, and went into the mountain five feet. I was lucky enough to find a lot of dead branches around the cave entrance. It was easy enough to start the fire with my flame spell, and I had all the food I would need thanks to the chest left by Discord. I had Pisica change into his manticore form and went to sleep.

When I awoke I decided to check my progress, and I was about halfway up the mountain. It turns out some Timberwolves had gotten near the cave during the night, and I found that Pisica had got us some firewood. I grabbed five pounds of the wood for my next campfire or a signal fire. I decided to fly the rest of the way up so I could save time and report to Celestia.

When I made it to the walls of Canterlot I decided to stop flying and head to the train station so I could enjoy the capital. As I approached the train station I saw a gate that had ten guards. Three were unicorns, four were Pegasi, and the rest were normal ponies. I knew they were there for me because one had a sign that said my name. I went with them and they started to take me to the castle.

They got into a position where two of the three ponies and a unicorn made a triangle to my left, and the other two unicorns and the last earth pony made a triangle to my right, while the pegasi took to the air above me in a diamond pattern. Along the way, I saw what looked to be a theater and a donut shop. "Can we stop for a donut? it's been a while since I had one." I asked the unicorn to my left and they just scoffed. After a good bit, we were at the castle and the sight was beautiful
