//------------------------------// // So the Prophecy was true... // Story: The Dragon from Earth to Equestria // by Nemesis Sol //------------------------------// A mist appeared above them all... It was dark, but made of small sparkles, like space... It would have been pretty to look at if it wasn't owned by an ancient evil. Nightmare Moon, the Mare in the Moon appeared before them, materializing from the mist. "Oh, my beloved subjects, it's been so long since I've seen your sun-loving faces!" She said with a hiss at the end. Rainbow Dash was angry, and she demanded where Celestia was. "What have you done with our Princess!?" Before she could charge Applejack but her tail keeping her in place. "Oh, am I not royalty enough for you? Does my crown no longer matter now, since I've been imprisoned for 1,000 years!? Did you not see the signs, don't you know who I am!?" Twilight spoke up. "I do! Your the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon!" Everypony gasped. "Finally some pony who remembers me... Just know this! The Night shall last forever!" Nightmare Moon laughed wickedly, her mane, and tail swirling like a tornado, and lightning cackled through it. "I like to see that happen..." Said a low growling voice. Schwab opened his wings, and gently flew above the middle of the crowd. All the ponies, looked even more scared. An Alicorn, and a Dragon fight!? Nightmare Moon stopped laughing, and stared into his eyes. "Well well, the Prophecy was true after all..." Schwab was confused, until he remembered something Celestia said before he was reincarnated in Equestria. "Long ago, I received a message, a prophecy of sorts..." Schwab stared at her, scared, and confused by how she knew of him. "What do you know?" Nightmare Moon giggled before explaining. "A being from another world shall die, and be reborn as anything they so desire. They live between a place, and no place. Belonging, and not owned. Power, and no power. Trapped between life, and death. They are you... You are that being... You are Schwab, the Dragon of Earth!" Everypony stood still, and looked at the dragon, confused, and scared of him. It was weird... Were they afraid of Nightmare Moon more? Or him? It was a scary thought... But an anger got to him... He didn't like her one bit... Twilight looked at him. "Your from another world!? How is that possible!?" He didn't answer, torn between the thoughts of how horrified they all were, and the thoughts of his past life. The mayor regained her composure, and ordered the guards to seize Nightmare Moon. "Stay back you fools!" She howled blasted them away with her magic. Schwab suddenly began to build up... He opened his maw wide. So wide it felt like it was about to split. Power surged through his throat as he blasted a blue flame encased by a swirling black of corrosive breath. Nightmare saw the attack, and countered it. She laughed before materializing into the mist from before, and floated away. The neglected attack hit Schwab back in the mouth burning him internally. He roared in pain... He blacked out, Twilight ran to him to catch him before he hit the ground, but at the last second they touched, and Twilight found herself somewhere unrecognizable... At first she touched him before seeing things. Memories? She saw her self in these images, she knew them as her memories, before the images changed to a bipedal creature. She saw these images, and was confused. These weren't her memories... 'Are they Schwab's memories...? So he is from another world...' she thought. Just then her vision became a first person perspective, she was in a machine of sorts, when a bright light, and a loud horn appeared before her. She felt pain until she blinked, and opened her eyes in a world of solitude... The sky was twilight, and never changing, jagged mountains appeared over the horizon, close by but distant were smaller jagged mountains, that were like islands. She looked down and notice she was in a pool, she stood above it like a puddle, but when she looked into it, it seemed to be deep. Her reflection was present, and it was so detailed, as if she was looking into the real image of herself, and she was the reflection. She looked above her at the sky, and saw the moon, it seemed smaller in the sky, but it glowed beautifully, and turned around to see the sun, it was behind two massive horns that stretched over the horizon, she recognized them as Schwab's horns. The sun was just below them. There it sat in place just about to completely disappear behind the land. "Where am I?" She asked. Schwab appeared from the below the pool before her. "Your in my heaven... This is where I came to after my death, where I first met Celestia, and where I was reincarnated." Twilight sunk down. "Are we dead?" She said feeling teary eyed. "No... We are alive, I just transported my mind here. I was scared, and I projected my conscience here before completely blacking out. You tried to catch me before I hit the ground while I was mid transporting my mind, you just got caught up in it." Twilight still had questions... "What about Equestria?" "Don't worry nothing's happening there... Everything that happens here happens in an instant out there, so as we talk, or still holding me, and I'm still blacked out." Twilight was starting to understand, she was smart, but sometimes things didn't make a lot of sense. "So time is unmatched here?" She asked. "Yes." Said Schwab. "So... Nightmare Moon was right... Your are from another world..." She said softly. Schwab felt sad. "Yes." His voice cracked. "I was human, that's my original species before I came here, met Celestia, and reincarnated myself." Twilight looked at him, with uncertainty at the mention of Celestia. "How did Celestia get here?" Schwab looked at her, and thought or a moment. "I don't know... She said that when I died, she got transported here the same way we were, and she met me. Might be part of my so-called prophecy." He said with thoughtfulness. Twilight nodded. "So can we go back?" "Yes we can Twilight. I just have to cut off my mind from this realm, and back to Equestria we go! We can go when your ready..." He said. Twilight nodded, and was about to speak when she looked around the heaven again. So peaceful, so quiet, and was soothing to her mind and soul. She liked it. "Schwab...? I'm ready." She finally said. He nodded his head. "And so it shall be..." Moments later they were back. Schwab got up, and and he and Twilight ran out, with Spike following them. They were going to Library. Rainbow Dash noticed them. "Where are they going?" She said, soon she began chased after three... 4 others following behind...
