//------------------------------// // oh joy. // Story: Father Night 2 // by EverlastingKnightmare //------------------------------// I was pacing in the castle archives under Starswirl The Bearded wing looking at portal magic, I don’t know why but I need to find this guy, it’s like he’s my brother or something. I found what I was looking for, his latest spell before whatever happened to him happened. ‘How to jump to a different world.’ Was its label, wow for a powerful magic user he used amusing titles. ‘Let’s see...’ I read through it as fast I could. You know, I think he went to another world but didn’t have enough magic to come back. Anyway, the book said just picture a door and use magic to make it real and to where you want to go. “Right!” I looked at the wall and focused. A door appeared with a light blue outline and no handle. “How original of me.” I sighed and the door became real. I trotted up to it and poked it with my horn. It slowly opened to a blue sky and on a cloud. I walked onto the cloud and looked around, this is the human world alright, the smell of cars burning gas was strong. ‘Now let’s get to work, one quick magic search of the world will do.’ I pointed my horn at the ground and blasted a purple beam of magic. It hit the ground and for a half a second the world turned purple. “Found you......And I didn’t expect it to be HIM!” I laughed and my horn glowed again. A human hovered there for a few moments with a stupid look on his face. “......Holy shit a horse!” He pointed at me with a even stupider face. “Wait.......Your a pony aren't you?” I facehoofed. “It’s nice to see you too Peter.” I swear his face could not get any more stupid. “Connor? Holy shit dude look at you! You're a pony! And an alicorn at that!” I smiled softly at him and I turned. “Come on, let's go.” “Wait, what!? I have to go with you!? Why?” I turned to him and took a deep breath. “BECAUSE I COMMANDETH YOU TO ACCOMPANY ME TO OUR WORLD! WHAT DOES THY SAY TO THAT!?” I used my Royal Canterlot Voice on that one. He looked stunned then held out his fist. “Nice lungs there dude!” I giggled and bumped my hoof to his fist. “Thanks, I got it from Lulu.” We laughed as we re-entered the door. Nothing had changed too much so I set Peter down and looked at him. “So after reading a old book I found out that you belong here as well, as some fellow named ‘The Keeper.’.” He looked at me a moment then sighed. “Well we made it.....We finally both got here....And your telling me we are gods?” I nodded slowly. “.......FUCKING SWEET! Oh I mean BUCKING SWEET!” We both laughed and my horn glowed. “Hold still. This will make you remember everything.” I poked him in the head and sent magic into his memories. I dug around a bit and almost laughed at the things I saw. I soon found what I was looking for, A large black box surrounded in chains and locks and everything else that is used to lock stuff. I blasted it open with my magic and got out of there as quick as I could. When I looked a Peter I could already tell he was going up in I,Q, points. “Peter? You ok?” He nodded slowly then turned to the exit door. “I need a room. and a LOT of paper, I’ll be a pony in the morning.” I laughed lightly and nodded. “Sure thing.” I walked ahead of him as he started walking. “I have to fill you in on some things. Like now I’m king of the world and stuff like that.” He laughed as we kept talking. I filled him in on everything that has happened and that the Gala was soon. He told me about everything that has happened in the human world like how every year a party was held for me and Lulu. He said was 65 years old right now and he’s still a brony. Anyway Austin had gotten killed by taking a shot for a child during a terrorist attack on the White House. I had lost all humor as we entered my room, I went over to my bed and laid down. I stuck my head in the pillow and cried for a long time while Peter was writing stuff down on paper. When Tia came in I explained everything fast and told her that I needed to be alone. Of course, she didn’t leave and instead laid down next to me resting her head on the back of my neck. I lost count of time and sooner or later Lulu had done the same. Holy moly, I love these kids. I woke up the next day. Tia had left by then but Lulu was still here sleeping soundly right next to me. “You are too cute...” I kissed her forehead and got up without waking her up. I saw a light brown alicorn writing things down on paper with magic. I also saw he had a broken horn but somehow he was still able to use magic. “Not as strong as I was in the beginning sadly, I can only do small tasks and spells now.” He said as if reading my mind, which honestly wouldn’t surprise me. “You look like how you did back then too. Heh, even the mane gets rid of your smart-ass look.” We laughed and I sighed. “Welp, off to work.” He nodded at me and I left to go to the court. Let’s see what today's problems are. Well that was.....unpredictable..... Twilight had come in with the happiest look I have ever seen on her, asking me if she could see him. I had to ask who was ‘him’? “You know who! The Keeper! Father of all Knowledge! I want to ask him about everything he knows! I just know he’ll have an answer to all of them!” She was talking to herself more then me now. I sighed but a flash of white light cut me off before I could talk and there stood Peter, or The Keeper. “Twilight Sparkle, Knowledge can be deadly and in the wrong hooves destroy everything. I will answer your questions but not all at once. One important question a month, minor questions are no problem and can be asked over the letter.” He teleported away again, I swear the look on Twilights face told the whole world she was in love. The guards and I were about to die when she walked out. I looked at the two next to me and I locked the front door for a moment so we could laugh our heads off. If I hadn’t sound proofed the room all of Canterlot would have heard us. We finally calmed down and I unlocked the doors and went back to work. Argh. The good thing is that court's over, I was about to fall over dead from boredom. I walked outside and into the garden. Everything looked tasty but I wasn’t hungry so I just looked at them. “I don’t see why you don’t do anything funny, like pranking the world?” I turned to Peter who had just popped up there for no reason whatsoever. “......You have the gratest ideas in the world. Where should we start?” Both he and I grinned. “We’ll start small. Ponyville maybe?” I nodded. “Ponyville.”
