//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Celestia and Amaterasu (Part 1) // Story: Kenjin: The Beginning // by Kitsune_Kenshi //------------------------------// "To be honest, I've never expected such welcoming for a random intruder from the outside world." Ken rubbed his Temple, under his mask, is a surprised expression. Now in the Canterlot Castle's throne room, sitting across the table with Princess Celestia and Luna. It all happened a few hours ago... After the CMCs had brought him to their hometown, Ponyville, Ken was immediately surrounded by numerous mares, stallions, colts, and fillies, all whispering and gasping in shock, surprised, and some terrified tones; as if he's some sort of preserved animal or crap like that. Finally, the Main six were brought out by the huge gathering of the crowd. The look on Twilight's face is totally priceless once Ken mentioned the fact that he's the Guardian of the Dimensions. Luckily, Spike was able to keep the overly excited unicorn bookworm under restrictions before she could cause any ear damages to the demi-god. "Okay, girls, let's introduce ourselves first," Twilight said after fifteen minutes of calming, although she's still working hard to keep her hooves from shaking in excitement, "I'm Twilight Sparkle, the librarian here at the Golden Oak Libary and a student of Princess Celestia!" "Ah'm Applejack," said the orange Earth Pony mare as she took off her hat, "I'd like to thank ya for savin mah sister and her friends' lives." "Indeed darling," said a certain white fashionist unicorn, "without you, they could've been trapped in there for a longer period of time; Oh how rude of me, I'm Rarity, the fashionista of this town." "Hey there bud, I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest Pegasus in town that can clear out all the clouds in TEN. SECONDS. FLAT!" that's from a certain cyan Pegasus with rainbow manes. "H-hi, I-I'm F-Flu-Fluttershy... N-Nice t-to meets y-you..." From a certain cute and shy Pegasus with cream-colored coat, cyan eyes, and bright pinkish mane. Lastly, fast came a certain pinkish blur,"HIMYNAMEISPINKIEPIEWHAT'SYOURSOHDOYOULIKEPARTIESCUZILOVETHEMOHHLET'SHAVEA"LET'SWELCOMEKENTOPONYVILLEPARTYEEEEEEEP!!!!" Then dashed away in such incredible speed that Ken mentally asked Aya about it. "Have no bucking idea." Came the A.I's reply. You know what Pinks? I'm not gonna even bother asking. "Ask what?!" Suddenly, Pinkie appeared right next to Ken, nearing making the demi-god jump. "Nothing!" Ken replied quickly. "Okie Doki Loki!" Then she sped off again to... Celestia knows where. (P.S Although Sunbutt herself has absolutely no idea as well ;) "Uh... O...Kay?" Ken shifted a bit uncomfortably. Twilight had a sheepish grin on her face. "That's just Pinkie being Pinkie." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight's message reached Celestia not long after Ken's arrival, and the Solar Princess appeared in the Libary almost immediately after she read the message, surprising the main six and Ken. "Sorry Twilight, but I may have to cut this quick introduction short due to our... Unexpected guest here." Celestia said, Twilight was surprised, this is the first and ever time that Celestia DID NOT call her by her student, her usual warm smile was gone as well, leaving a serious expression. She seems to know something about me. Ken's brows frowned slightly under his mask. She then turned to Ken, "Hello there, I'm Princess Celestia, but just 'Celestia' is fine. I arrived here as soon as I received Twilight's message, and I wish to have a few sentences with you by... ourselves only." She gestured to Twilight as the unicorn nodded knowingly, before taking the rest of the six with her outside. The white alicorn then turned to Ken, "You're... Not from this world correct?" Ken's heart missed a beat, this is his biggest secret whenever he travels to other worlds, "How-" "I sensed a small fluctuation in space and dimension, plus the fact that you have a very familiar presence of an old friend of mine from long ago." Celestia said, spacing out at the mention of her 'old friend'. "Amaterasu?" Ken blurted out. "She told you, didn't she." Celestia sighed., "We met back when I travelwed through that mirror which currently led to Sunset Shimmer. Back then, the portal was a bit unstable , so I ended up stummbling upon Takamagahara, where I met Amaterasu." "However, when we both realized that traveling between worlds without gaining the dimensionms' premission would slowly damage each other's world's dimensional walls, as the result, Amaterasu sealed our portal using the Yata no Kagami*, while Starswril did his part as well." Celestia ended, looking at Ken with intersect, "And somehow, you're able to be granted premisson by the dimension itself to travel across worlds." "It's all thanks to Aya." Ken said, smiling under his mask. "Who?" "Come on out Aya!" Light flashed as a 7 year-old cute elittle girl sat on Ken's shoulders, Celestia's brows raised with surprise, "This is my Dimensional Artifical Intellegence, Aya, she's the one helping me get across dimensions." "Comparing to the time when I set hooves on Earth, how have the technologies advanced..." Celestia murmured. (P.S Celestia, as I mentioned before, accidentally went to Takamagahara, which is right above Earth, so it make sense right?) "Anyway, Ken, my sister would like to see you as well, meet us in the throne room." Celesti asaid before teleporting away. Ken's smile froze, he sighed, "How the hell am I suppose to get around this huge house of yours?"
