//------------------------------// // The Castle of the Two Sisters // Story: Shadow Sky In a New World // by Shadow Skysito //------------------------------// Lately I haven't discovered anything, nothing interesting has happened, a few days ago the "eternal night" thing happened, and absolutely nothing has happened... I've just limited myself to going to school... talking to Sweetie Belle during hours... get home... sleep... Shadow Sky - "What the hell am I doing!!!" I was resting in my bed at the time, but remembering that I was doing absolutely nothing made me wake up immediately. Shadow Sky - "Agh! I completely forgot?" How the hell do I forget the fact that I'm in another dimension and I have to get out of here? Shadow Sky - "Damn, damn, damn, what do I do?" I was going around for a while in my head, I didn't know what to do. Shadow Sky - "...Maybe the library of a village has the solution to interdimensional problems... yes of course." I have nothing to lose by trying, it was six in the evening, maybe i have time to take a quick look. *Blow* Shadow Sky - "I guess back to the library." *Sigh* She was on her way to the library when a crowd of ponies were surrounding Twilight outside the library. Pony Random - "What ticket?!" Pinkie Pie - "Twilight wants to invite me to the Grand Galloping Gala!!!" EveryPony - *Speaking at the same time* Twilight - "Spike, we have to... RUN!!!" Shadow Sky - "...and there it goes...welcome to PonyVille haha." (Thought) Twilight Sparkle had decided to stay here in PonyVille, she didn't want to be separated from her new friends, so she asked the princess if she would give her lodging here, I always thought she was going to stay from the beginning, but apparently the main plan was to come to Supervise and go quickly... well, time to study. Shadow Sky - "Wow, this place hasn't been this clean a few days ago, Spike sure does a good job. Let's see, let's look at the D, something related to "dimensions"... nothing... absolutely nothing." (Thinking) I was starting to panic, no information related to "dimensions", it seems that in this dimension it is also just a theory, I think I have to look somewhere else, but where? *door opening* FlutterShy - "Are you sure it's coming soon?" Pinkie Pie - "Yup, the ponies started chasing her for some strange reason that I don't know..." Mane six - "... yes of course." Shadow Sky - "Oh hey guys." Mane Six - "Hello Shadow." Sweetie Belle - "Oh, hello Shadow, what are you doing here?" Shadow Sky - "I... I was... studying!... and what are you doing here?" Sweetie Belle - "I saw my sister excited about something so I came with her, even though I don't know what it is." *Magical Appearance* Twilight - "Quick Spike, lock the bolt, *turns*... Stooooooooop!!!, I can't decide!!!" Sweetie Belle - "What's going on?!" *Twilight speaking in the background* Shadow Sky - "From what little I know, I can assume that this is a ticket to... the grand gallop gala?" Sweetie Belle - *¡¡Gasp!!* Shadow Sky - "... judging by your reaction I can deduce that it is something important?" *Twilight speaking in the background* Sweetie Belle - "But of course it is!!! We're talking about one of the most notorious parties in all of Equestria! You can only go if the princess personally invites you." Shadow Sky - "...I see, sounds like fun." Spike - "...Why didn't you say it before?... look!!!, six tickets for the great gallop gala!!!" Sweetie Belle - "..." Shadow Sky - "...yep...it's hard to get invited." Sweetie Belle - "..." Rarity - "We invite you to lunch dear." Sweetie Belle - "..." Shadow Sky - "... Sweetie, how about you join me on... an adventure? Do you like adventures?" Sweetie Belle - "..." Shadow Sky - "...I'll take that as a yes." Maybe she wanted to go too bad. Perhaps the castle of the two sisters has useful information, it literally protected 6 powerful elements, something must have. Sweetie Belle - "Where are we going Shadow?" Shadow Sky - "You'll see, maybe you'll forget about that gala a bit haha." Sweetie Belle - "Okay." Shadow Sky - "...*Blushing*, if... we want to get there fast I have to... carry you." Sweetie Belle - "...Where are we going?" Shadow sky - "I want to study more about this kingdom, and I already read most of the books in the library, so I was thinking of going to the castle of the two sisters to see if there is anything... new." Sweetie Belle - "The castle of the two sisters? Where is that?" Shadow Sky - "It's in the Everyfree forest." Sweetie Belle - "Hey wait, but that's the scariest place in Ponyville, how are we going to go by ourselves without running from fear." Shadow Sky - "...Flying?" Sweetie Belle - "...Are you sure?" Shadow Sky - "Sure, there's nothing to fear, I'll be there if you're scared." Sweetie Belle - "*Blushing*...Okay, but just this once, I don't like that place at all." Shadow Sky - "Thanks for joining me... so... I'll take you andddd..." Sweetie Belle - "...right." *Blushing* I carried Sweetie Belle and flew straight to the castle, it was still daytime, according to my calculations we would have I know I'll be back at nightfall, I hope it's quick. It scares me... if I don't find anything, it will be the last hope I have... I have no idea what I can do if that happens, in my dimension it's just a myth, a myth verified by me I suppose, but no there were studies about it, nobody knew anything about it, and apparently I am the only human who has visited another dimension, now, according to my logic about the studies, in that case I would have to be the one to start and finish those studies, but not even I know if that is possible, at least for me. Sweetie Belle - "Look, is that the castle?" Shadow Sky - "...em?...oh, yeah, that's it." Sweetie Belle - "Isn't he very small?" Shadow Sky - "Yup, and it is for a reason." Sweetie Belle - "Which one?" Shadow Sky - "Let me land first." *Landing* Sweetie Belle - "Wow, it's really pretty, even though it's in ruins." Shadow Sky - "Yup, and his story is interesting." Sweetie Belle - "Does she have a story?" Shadow Sky - "Would you spend thousands and thousands of bits to build a castle that you would then abandon?" Sweetie Belle - "...No?" Shadow Sky - "Exactly, come on, let's go in, and if you think there's something behind you, can always hide behind me haha." Sweetie Belle - "ha ha, very funny." Shadow Sky - "But seriously, if you need help, count on me." *Smile* Sweetie Belle - "*Blushing*...thanks...let's go in now." Shadow Sky- "Okay." Sweetie Belle and I entered the castle, I could finally see inside, the last time I was here I could only see through a stained glass window and the ceiling. Sweetie Belle - "Look Shadow, all those flags and designs, it looks great." *Echo* Shadow Sky - "Yup, it's art from over a thousand years ago." *Echo* Sweetie Belle - "This could be in a museum, won't they come out of fear?" *Echo* Shadow Sky - "Mostly because they don't care, it's in a dangerous place and it's only mentioned in history books, they don't care a bit, because for royalty this is nothing but garbage compared to what they have currently." *Echo* Sweetie Belle - "Wouldn't it be interesting to bring something as a souvenir?" *Echo* Shadow Sky - "Nah, the castle isn't moving from here anyway." *Echo* Sweetie Belle - "Okay." *Echo* We walked a little, it was evident that Sweetie Belle was scared, it was easy to notice by the staggering of her legs. Shadow Sky - "Are you feeling alright?" *Echo* Sweetie Belle - ...um, yeah?" *Echo* *sound of thunder* Sweetie Belle - "AAAAHHHHH!!!" *Echo* Sweetie got scared and hid behind me. Shadow Sky - "Are you okay?" *Echo* Sweetie Belle - "y-y-es, I was just surprised." *Echo* Shadow Sky - "Looks like it's going to rain." *Echo* Sweetie Belle - "But the pegasus ponies didn't schedule rain today." *Echo* Shadow Sky - "I know but, Everyfree forest doesn't work that way, the weather is controlled only in this forest." *Echo* In my dimension it handles itself all over the world, but I learned that here the pegasus take care of the weather more than I thought at first. Shadow Sky - "Here the weather works by itself, it rains on random days, it snows when it wants, they make storms on random days, in short, everything here is autonomous." *Echo* Sweetie Belle - "Okay okay, but anyway, what are we looking for? I want to get out of here." *Echo* Shadow Sky - "It's a castle, there has to be a library, no matter how small." *Echo* Sweetie belle - "Okay, let's jog fast, the faster the better." *Echo* We walked for a couple of minutes, we found two thrones, one with moon symbols and the other had suns, we walked longer and didn't find much, just rooms with more decoration, a path with old armor and more things, until finally. *door opening* Shadow Sky - "Look Sweetie Belle it's the library!" Sweetie Belle - "About time, can we go now?" Shadow Sky - "It's gotten pretty dark already, I think so, I can't let you stay out of the house so late, I guess I'll be back tomorrow." *Hit* Shadow Sky- "..." Sweetie Belle - "..." The library door closed with us inside, I tried to open it but the wind current was against me. Shadow Sky - "*forsaken*, agh, I can't open it, and from what I hear I can tell that it started to rain...Sweetie Belle?" Sweetie Belle - *Frozen* Shadow Sky - "I was afraid of that." Sweetie Belle - "so and so what do we do now? *stutter*" Shadow sky - "Well, I guess we can't do anything at the moment, at least we're dry here." Sweetie Belle - "You mean we have to wait here?" Shadow Sky - "I think... yes, at least until the wind drops a bit." Sweetie Belle - "..." Shadow Sky - "...okay, I'll tell you the history of the castle so that time passes faster...okay?" Sweetie belle - "...Thank you Shadow." Shadow Sky - "Very well... More than fifteen hundred years ago two kings lived in the uninhabited Equestria, the kings had a not so numerous civilization, many say that the kings came from other lands, they wanted to start their own kingdom in the new land they found, after much work and effort they built a part of the castle that they planned to build from the beginning, but there was a small problem, one of the closest forests was beginning to expand in an erratic and uncontrolled way, they thought they could keep it under control, but it was more than they could handle , the forest ate ninety percent of the village, and began to reach the castle, the kings wasted no time and evicted what was to be the capital of Equestria, moving its entire population to a new place, they were afraid that another forest was just as chaotic, so they sought refuge in a mountain for greater security, a mountain that we currently know as "Canterlot", the kings, feeling at last in a home, had the opportunity to conceive offspring, the first was a little pony with a lot of energetic and very outgoing, years later a little pony was born, more calm and introverted." Sweetie Belle - "Princess Celestia?" Shadow Sky - "Yep, and so is Princess Luna." Sweetie Belle - "Princess Luna?" Shadow Sky - "Remember Nightmare Moon?" Sweetie Belle - "¡¡¡¿She was Princess Luna?!!!" *Flash of lightning* Sweetie Belle - "AAAAHHHHH!!!" Shadow Sky - "Okay, don't worry, it shouldn't take long for the wind to die down." Sweetie Belle - "I already want to go!!!" Shadow Sky - "Just... let's get some rest, it won't be long I promise, and as soon as it stops raining we'll fly away faster than lightning." Sweetie Belle - "Okay..." In Sweetie Belle's words there was fear, I feel guilty for having brought her. Shadow Sky - "...Well... taking advantage of the situation I'm going to read a little, don't go too far from me please." We were locked up for a while, the wind was getting more and more, but not enough, but it was starting to get too cold. Sweetie Belle - *Shaking* Shadow Sky - "... are you alright Sweetie Belle?" Sweetie Belle - "y-yes, I'm fine." *Stuttering* Shadow Sky - "*Removing sweatshirt*, uh, liar." Sweetie Belle - "..." (blushing) I put my sweatshirt on Sweetie Belle, I already felt guilty for bringing her, I didn't want her to be cold. Sweetie Belle - "T-t-thank you Shadow" *stutter* Shadow Sky - "uh? I thought the sweatshirt would take the chill out of you, why do you keep stuttering?" Sweetie Belle - "N-n-o- it's nothing." (blushing) Shadow Sky - "...ok, if you're cold please tell me." Sweetie Belle - "...okay." Take the opportunity to see some books, they contained somewhat old information, not as relevant as I expected, but interesting. Or at least that's what I thought, I found a more than interesting book, it had many writings of an ancient sorcerer, it talked about "mermaids", here it says that I banish them from equestria forever, but... if they were as powerful as they are, they didn't come back ?, they describe them very well, and everything indicates that they had to come back, but they didn't... maybe I can experiment with this book. Sweetie Belle - "ACHOOS" (Sneeze) Shadow Sky - "Are you feeling alright Sweetie Belle?" Sweetie Belle - "Yeah, I'm fine." Shadow Sky - "¡¡¡AAWW, she sneeze like a kitten!!!" (Thought) Sweetie Belle - "Shadow, because if this was the old Cantetlot, how come PonyVille exists? They moved, right?" Shadow Sky - "When the kings were about to leave, some ponies decided to move a little further away, luckily the forest stopped before consuming the town, that's how PonyVille was founded." Sweetie Belle - "Wow, where did you see that?" Shadow Sky - "In a history book, I thought the ponies knew." Sweetie Belle - "We don't push ourselves to learn like you do, I guess." Shadow Sky - "Yeah, I guess... it's not very quiet?" Sweetie Belle - "Yeah, it also seems to have stopped raining." Shadow Sky - "Quick, it's our chance, let's get out quick." Sweetie Belle - "Yes!" We left as fast as possible, but at least I had found something, I don't know if it's useful, but it's definitely an approach. *Landing* Shadow Sky - "I'm so sorry Sweetie Belle, I didn't think this would happen." Sweetie Belle - "It's okay, I'm fine...relatively." Shadow Sky - "hehe, ok, at least it wasn't so late." Sweetie Belle - "It was definitely an adventure, but since I'm done and since I'm sleepy, see you tomorrow, goodnight Shadow." Shadow Sky - "Good night Sweetie Belle." We both went home very tired, but at least I had the book, maybe I'll come back for more old books, they'll work for me. Shadow Sky - "Hmmm, a personal library to store historical books would be nice, maybe take advantage of an unoccupied room in the house." (Thought) Sweetie Belle - "What an emotional day, it was terrifying." (Thought) Shadow Sky - "mmhh? Why do I feel like I'm missing something?" *door opening* Rarity - "Sweetie Belle!!!, what are these hours of arriving?, it is not usual that you arrive so late." Sweetie Belle - "Sorry, I had a mishap." Rarity - "... Mishap? Isn't that mishap by any chance called Shadow Sky?" Sweetie Belle - "¿?, *turns down*" (blushing) Sweetie Belle - "¡¡¡I'm still wearing Shadow's sweatshirt!!!" (Thinking) Rarity - "Well, in that case I won't keep scolding you hehe." Shadow Sky - "...I think I remembered..."
