//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 – Meet The Royal Family. // Story: The Legend of Sunflare Knight // by SunFlare Knight //------------------------------// Equestria – Castle Market Celestia’s POV I am so happy that my mother and I settle our differences with the whole lost one of my great grandmother earrings Incidents. I still feel bad about that, But I know I need be responsible for my actions and fix my mistakes. Either way I am just happy my mother forgives me and found the missing earring. But right now, we have another issue of our Hooves, during after my mother and me made up, a huge thunderstorm form in over the market. When my mother, my sister, and me look outside of my window a raging thundercloud form, but what we also saw was a figure falling from that cloud and on to the market road. My mother Call one of her personal Guards to go fetch our father, My teacher Starswirl, and a doctor. I just hope the creature that fell didn’t hurt itself too much. I decided to accompany my mother as well with my sister, to see what this creature is, and make sure it isn’t hurt. When we got ourselves to the market, we already see my teacher and the doctor, my father must be on his way in a moment. When we reach the scene, my teacher saw us, and he wave at us to come over. “Your majesty, thank goodness you’re here.” Starswirl said. he also saw she wasn’t the only one to see the incident. “I see you brought your daughters with you. Good to see you Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. How are your girls coming along with your magic defense spell’s?” Starswirl asked both me and my little sister. Me and My sister have been Starswirl Students for 10 years. We been working on making and learning all different spells, from levitation spell’s, to teleportation, to offense spell’s (like blast beams, energy balls, etc.). now we are working on our defense spell’s, (Like Plasma Shields.). “We are doing ok, well mostly me, my little sister is still having trouble.” I said as I look back at my sister, while she gave me a glare. “I still can do it Tia, it’s just. not everpony is as skilled as you are.” Luna pouted with jealousy. “Yeah, sure you can lulu.” I said with a smirk on my cheek. “Girls. Let’s not argue, right now we have a situation on our hooves.” Oh, right the creature, I still hope it’s okay. “So starswirl what type of creature did you find, also is it badly injured, and more importantly is it dangerous?” My mother asked with concerned and worried. “Come let me show you.” Starswirl said as we follow him in the market. When we got there, a lot of are citizens being block by our guards surround the crater. But there seems to be one pony missing. “where’s dad?” I asked as I look around. “He is on his way Celestia, something about a hydra attacking a new village called Ponyville.” StarSwirl said. My Eyes Widened with fear and worry. Starswirl saw my eyes knowing my fears for the ponies in their new town. “Don’t worry Celestia Your father already handled it, the hydra is back where it belongs, and the ponies are safe.” Whew that's a relief. I'm glad dad can be able to handle any situation. “Anyway, let me show you what we found.” Starswirl said. As we walked right close to crater what we saw was something we have never seen before, it looks like a hairless monkey except for the top of its head. what's also interesting is that this creature is also wearing clothes, maybe it's intelligent. if it is intelligent, we could have like a new species in our world this will be great to learn something new from his/her kind. as for me, my mom, and my sister, stand right next to the crater, The doctor Was checking the creatures vital Organism to make sure it isn't injured. While starswirl the bearded was investigating the creature’s physical form. “The creature seems to be alright except for his right arm which is a bit sprained, but don't worry it should be fix with this healing spell." The doctor Said as he perform a healing spell on the unconscious creature. "but judging by the way he's wearing clothes I say he's intelligent.” Starswirl said. so, it's a boy, that’s good, I'm glad they can figure out what gender he is. “How long do you think he is going to wake up.” my mother said. just when they were about to answer, a small groan Was heard that means the creatures getting up. “Everypony keep your distance let's not startle it. Celestia Luna get behind me.” My mother said as she protected us behind her wings. While the rest of these citizens stayed behind the guards to keep their distance. Hunter’s POV I don't know how long I was out; I don't even know what happened. All I can remember was that there was this unusual cloud That form a small hurricane but turn into a tornado with me in the Middle. then somehow, I was lifted in the air, and then everything went black. but all I can say is one thing in my mind “How the hell am I still alive” There was a lot of questions Circling around my head many possible theories. as I was about to get up, I see something that through my eyes was off, I don't remember there were a lot of trees, fields, and some mountains in the distances, of course we only had one huge mountain. Then again, the storm could have flown me far, but that's still kind of the question that meets to “how am I still alive” in this situation. As I was getting up checking around the place, I heard some whispers and or gasps behind me. as I turn around, I saw Something I never seen before. They look like small horses or in this case ponies but what confused me the most was that they have more colors than regular ones on earth. But something was off about them that got me confused. some of them were wearing raggedy old clothing, others were wearing metal armors and or jewels. but what I saw is something I never seen before I am not sure If my eyes were tricking me or if there real. What I see are ponies that have a horn on their heads, they must be unicorns’ the other ones have feathered wings on their backs, which is clear they are Pegasus, and I am guessing the rest of them look like regular ponies. what I saw was something much more magical and beautiful then meets the eye, there are three individuals that do have both Pegasus wings and a Unicorn horn, I am not sure what they are called, but they also seem to be much taller except for the two ones that are sort of around my height. “Wow I have never seen such a beauty and majestic creatures in the world. I don't think I'm in Earth anymore, did the storm teleport me to a new world? if so, maybe they might be able help me, if they do speak English, I mean they do look like a citizen people or in this case ponies, and I am in a new world, so there could be any possibilities. If I want to be able to get back home, I need their help. hopefully they’re not a threat to me, but I'm guessing by the judge of their looks I think they're scared of me because I'm new here or I'm an alien in this world. OK Hunter let's see if we can be able to get their help if not well, I hope Jasmine can be able to handle her own……. OH NO Jasmine, I hope she's OK, Nick please take care of her until I get back.” Hunter said in his mind. “Um H-Hello.” Hunter said, not sure if that was the best way of greeting. But as I said that the whole crowd gasp and whispered. “Hello there, let me introduce myself, my name is Queen Galaxia, I am the leader of Equestria as well as my husband, King Cosmo, but he is on his way for a moment so you should be able to meet with him soon." The Queen Said. “These two are my daughters, the one of my left is my oldest Princess Celestia. And the one on my right is my youngest Princess Luna. Girls say hello.” The Queen said to her two daughters. “Hello” Celestia Said in a chipper voice. “H-Hi” Luna said with a bit of nervousness. "and these two on your left on my daughter's teacher, Starswirl the bearded, and this here is doctor Red Cross. The first doctor in Equestria, and one of the best." The queen said as I look at the bearded wizard looking unicorn, and a brown fur unicorn with a black mane and a red cross mark on his flank. “May I ask what creature you are, and your name.” The Queen said. “Oh m-my name is Hunter Knight, and I'm a human.” I said to the queen. “it's wonderful to meet you Mr. Knight.” The Queen said. “Please, you don't have to call me Mister or my last name just Hunter would do.” I said the queen, as she nodded her head to understand. “Very well, may I ask, how did you get here.” The queen asked. I explained everything to the queen about how it happened from the day of my sister and me talking to where I was going outside to take a walk for fresh air and an unknown storm coming in brought me here. The queen had been listening to my full explanation. “That is peculiar, I don't know why it brought you here, but I'll see what I could do, so me and my husband could find a way to bring you home.” The queen said. Let’s Hope so, I hope my family will be alright. “In the meantime, come let me bring you to the castle until we can figure out a way to bring you home. I will inform my husband about this." The queen said. As I follow her and her 2 daughters to the castle. “Thank you, your highness.” I said to the queen “Please you don’t have to call me your highness or your majesty, call me Galaxia.” Wow, does she really trust me? I never thought a royalty would let me just say their name instead of your Highness or Princess or queen or etc. “Oh um, sure Galaxia, thank you again for your help.” I said thanks to the queen. As we about to get in the castle another one of those ponies, with wings and a horn, lands right in front of us. “I heard the commotion is everyone ok….” The male pony said when he looks right at me. He must be King Cosmo, judging by his fur, his whole body is looks like a cosmic galaxy, which looks super cool. “Um honey, who or what is that thing.” The king asked. “His name is Hunter Knight, and he is a Human.” Galaxia said to her husband. “Where did he come from?” The King asked. “I will explain everything while we are in the throne room.” As we got the throne room, I asked the king and queen what type of ponies they are, they are call alicorns, a combination of Unicorn, Pegasus, and earth pony. I got to admit, it would be nice to do magic and fly at the same time. As the king, queen and their two daughters sit on their thrones, I explained everyone again to the queen and king how I got here. The king was very intrigue about other worlds out there. “Fascinating So you’re telling me that you were trapped in a storm that came out of nowhere and somehow it brought you to our world?” The King asked me. “Yes, that's basically what happened, I'm just still kind of unsure as to how it happened.” I said to the king, I could have been abductive by aliens, or a wormhole in the sky decided to wake up and take me for a ride. “Well, whatever or who ever brought you here, could have a reason why, I am just not sure. But in the meantime, let me see if I can get you back home.” The king said. “Aww but do we have to, I kind of like him, he looks cute.” Celestia said to her father. I blushed from her complement, Cute?! I have never been called cute before, but she does looks adorable. I thought while the king walks right up to me. “Now, now Celly.” Celly? That’s an interesting nickname. “We all know that he really needs to get back to his family. Especially his sister.” The king said to her daughter. "Besides his parents must be worried about him,” oh right they don’t know. I really do miss them. “Your do have parents worried about you right?” the king asked while looking at me. The king didn’t understand what I said when I mumbled. “What was that young one? I didn’t quite hear you.” The king asked. “My parents died when I was young.” By then the whole family gasped. “They died to a car accident when my sister and me were home when our aunts babysit us. they were going on a date when a deer came running on a road where mom and dad drive to their location. My uncle got a call from the hospital and explain what happened. when we got there, they- they.” I couldn’t say anymore, it was too much for me and mostly for my little sister. As I was starting to form tears, Celestia and Luna came running down with tears as well towards me and gave me a hug for comfort. “I am **sniff** s-so sorry **sniff** t-that had t-to happened to you at a young age.” Celestia said in sadness. “I agree with Tia, I am sorry that has to happen to you and your sister.” Luna said while she hugs me tight. I am not going to lie their fur is soft and warm. plus, they smell like flowers and Cake? which I like a lot. “Thanks for comforting me girls, it means a lot.” Celestia and Luna wiped there tears away and smiled. “Anything for a friend, Hunter.” Celestia said. Friend?! they consider me as a friend. I didn’t have many friends in school, except my cousin who I look up to as a brother. But a friend to these girls, it just warms my heart. "Wow really, you consider me as a friend?” Celestia and Luna nodded “Of course Hunter, you’re nice, honest and very caring (not to mention cute and Handsome) we will always be there for you Hunter. Right Luna?” Celestia said looking at Luna while she nodded her head with agreement. “Yes, thou will always be our friend. And thou will be sure we will always be by your side.” Luna said. As I start to have tears, not by sadness but by joy. “Wow girls that means a lot, thanks.” I said smiling to the girls as they smile back. “I am glad that my daughters have taking a liking of you, you’re a very noble pony -er- person Hunter. Now let’s see if we can get you home.” The king said. But before we started, we were interrupted with glass breaking and some dog like creatures came crashing in. The guards and the king and queen were getting ready to fight. However, two came behind Celestia and Luna and grab both of them with ropes and a brown bags. Galaxia and Cosmo saw their daughter's being taking. “CELESTIA, LUNA LET THEM GO.” The Queen cried out to the dog creatures. When the King and queen were about the get their daughter's back, they were hit by debris from the castle walls. “If you want your precious pony Princesses back, give us 100,000 gems and we'll let them go.” The dog creature said, but before they leave, he turns back towards them. “We will be waiting at the entrance near the market, bring me the gems or they die.” He said as him and his pack leave the scene with Celestia and Luna crying for help. “Mom, Dad, Hunter, Help...” Celestia and Luna Screamed in unison, and just like that there gone. After queen Galaxy and king Cosmo got out of debris, they called out the guards and tell them to grab the money, so they can save their daughter's. While the rest figure out a plan to stop these creatures in case they try to hurt their Celestia and Luna. I couldn't just let them take Celestia and Luna, they are my friends and I would never leave any of my friends, or family behind. while the king and queen discussing the plan to stop the dog like creatures that took Celestia and Luna, I decided to follow them and stop them. I may have done some marshal arts when I was a kid, but I hope my skills are enough to take down some bad mutts, and hopefully rescue Celestia and Luna. also there is this burning feeling is my chest that is somehow giving me strength, I don't know what it is but hopefully it will help. Mom, dad if your listen, please give me your strength.
