“…llo…?”
“..re..ok..y?”
“Come on mum just five more minutes, I’m still tired.” I groggily asked to my mum, hoping that she would leave me alone.
“Wake up!” I instantly opened my eyes, about to yell at mum to not yell at me when I saw two big teal eyes right in front of my face.
“Ahhh!” I quickly crawled backwards, as my eyes adjusted to who had awoken me. When they adjusted I saw the blue pony from my dream staring at me curiously and impatiently as the white one had a look of disappointment on her face directed at the blue pony. Does that mean that this wasn't a dream then?
“Sister, you did not need to yell into his ear, he was almost awake before you startled him.” She chided to her ‘sister’ as I quickly got up from the ground, glaring at the white pony.
“I am not scared of you two, you just shouted right into my ear,” I put more emphasis on the last few words to get my point through to the blue one as I saw a red hue forming on her face.
“Yes…we are sorry that we yelled at you, we were just curious of what kind of creature you were and we…wanted to get answers quickly,” she replied, her head tilted down a bit showing shame on her features as I walked back over to the two.
“Well then you can ask your questions to me then as I have all the time in the world really,” I said as I started to get back into my role as the elf king. The white one stepped forward first, her eyes held a gentle calmness to them which made me think of a caring mother.
“Who are you,” What an obvious question that was.
“As I said before, my name is Kyle and I am the King of the Elves,” I replied to her thinking it wasn't the best to mention Zaron otherwise it would spike up even more questions. Her eyes widened a bit –probably due to shock- as the blue one looked back up to me with the same curiosity in her eyes as before.
“A…a king? I haven’t heard of such a thing about a king of elves in all my years of living, I haven’t even seen your kind until now…so where are the rest of your kind then?” she asked me curiously as I began to think of something to reply to her question.
“My subjects…are all gone. I’m all that’s left of them,” the blue one’s face turned to one of concern while the other turned to sadness. “There was a war between another kind called the humans, they wanted to take something very valuable from our kind called the stick of truth,” the white pony showed confusion and fear at my statement.
“War? You waged a war between another kind? Because of a stick?” she asked in a scarred voice, probably because she was thinking of all the death that would have happened.
“Yes, we did but it was to protect the stick of truth as it is…was not as ordinary as you might think,” her ears perked up at me stating my reason. “The stick of truth was foretold to have come down from the heavens. When we found the stick we kept it hidden from the other races to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands as whoever controls the stick controls the universe,” she looked like she wanted to interrupt my tale but I held up my hand for her to wait until I had finished.
“We never used the sticks power for we were scarred that it would slowly corrupt us over time but then the humans found out about the stick. Their kind is not pure and is full of greed and lust for power; they waged war against us, killing thousands of our kind, that was hundreds of years ago,” the blue pony looked at me with a look of sadness and guilt on her face, maybe due to thinking that all of my kind was killed.
“After the great battle, I was the only elf left alive but now I knew what I had to do. I took the stick from its resting place and thinking that if the stick was gone then no one would try to use its power."
“I took it to what the elves called ‘The Sacred Lake’ that was hidden inside a secret cave near our kingdom as in legend it said that if the stick was placed into the sacred lake it would absorb all of the water in it, turning itself into a beautiful tree that would keep the balance of the world intact as long as no evil was to find it.” I ended my tale hoping that they thought I was telling the truth –which halve of it technically was the truth since I am the only elf here- when the two ponies nodded to each other as the blue one stepped forth.
“We are sorry that your kind was wiped out by these humans, but we wonder where this ‘Sacred Lake’ was,” she asked as I looked around.
‘Shit, ok ummm what should I do,' I frantically asked myself. Then I remembered the forest that I had woken up in as knew what to say.
“It has been so many years since I was there that everything has changes but if my memory serves correctly it was located in the forest over there,” I replied as I pointed towards the forest I had ended up in, hoping that they wouldn't go looking in there but then the white one stepped forth as well.
“Was the tree foretold to hold six elements when it sprouted,” she asked in a calm tone which made me calm down a bit and that I could get somewhere with this.
“Yes, it was told that it would bear six powerful elements, how did you know about the tree if you never heard of the legend then?” I asked her as her face turned completely emotionless.
‘Shit, did I stuff up or something? Great job Kyle, gonna get into trouble by a unicorn…pegasus thing,” I thought to myself dryly as thought I would be killed or something due to them being the ones who killed Discord. Then her face turned into a smile, must have dogged a bullet there.
“Then you must be talking about the tree of harmony then young one,” there she goes again telling me that I’m young. I nodded dumbly taking the opportunity as the blue pony looked towards the white one.
“But sister that means that he created the tree of harmony! How is that possible its dates back to even before we were born,” she said a hint of shock in her voice. The white one smiled knowingly.
“Indeed it was sister but as Kyle said he is hundreds of years old, he out-dates us as well but I must ask,” oh god was this going to where I think it is going to? “Why do you look so young if you are immortal?” ok I got this question down.
“Well you see Ms Sunbutt,” she looked taken aback at my statement probably due to not introducing herself (and that I just called her sunbutt) what was I supposed to call her. “The leader of the humans was known by us as ‘The Grand Wizard’, near the end of the war with the last of his power he cursed me to make me look like what I am now. So I may look young but in reality I have the mind of and adult,” I replied in a knowing tone not believing how good I was at this convincing stuff. The blue asked me a question which completely caught me off guard.
“Would you like to come with us to the castle young Kyle?” she asked in a polite tone. A castle, a real castle now that I had to see for myself but I had to ask a few questions myself.
Yes, I would like to see you castle but I think now that I should start knowing your names now…?” As soon as I had finished the sentence the blue pony started to blush with embarrassment while the white one cleared her throat to introduce herself.
“I am Celestia, the Alicorn of the sun or Princess Celestia now that discord has been sealed into stone,” I quirked my eyebrow at what she just said, so did that mean that I just help destroy a king? Then the blue one started to introduce herself.
“And we are Princess Luna, Alicorn of the Night!” she said in a rather loud tone but there was only one thing that I had to say to them.
“So that means…that you move the sun and moon?!” I yelled at them, trying to keep it as a statement more than a question as they nodded slowly as I knew that my sanity was almost gone when said one thing that made me almost lose my shit.
“What the Fuck!?” I accidentally yelled as the princesses expressions turned to shock.
“What did you just say?” she asked, as her face looked like one of horror which made me start to freak out.
“Uhhh…oh um I say ‘shuck’, it’s the elven language for ‘what’,” I hesitantly answered hoping that they really didn’t hear me say that or they could might throw me in a dungeon since they were princesses. There expressions calmed down as I looked behind them to finally notice that the village was back to normal and that there was a statue of Discord where the throne was.
“What are you going to do with him then,” I asked them as I pointed towards the statue, hoping that it would take their minds off of what I just said. They looked at the statue as Celestia nodded at her sister who nodded back at her.
“We will take him back to the castle as well so that he is kept under watchful eyes but in the meantime,” she turned back around to me. “Do you want to have these back…your highness,” she said the last few words in a playful manner hoping to get to me but instead it just made my ego slightly bigger as she held up the elements with…magic, but I knew what I had to do even if they were powerful elements.
“No Celestia, I don’t want them back for it is best that they should be sealed somewhere safe until you and your sister might need them again,” my god, my heroic tone was starting to break.
"Are you sure?" she asked again for confirmation as my tone broke somewhat.
"I don't want the elements back! It's best if you keep them!" I yelled frantically startling them both as i slowly gain my composure.
"Sorry but i just don't want them back, they bring back too many bad memories," I said to them as I shuddered, not about what I said but just thinking of what I would become if I used them to rule.
Celestia nodded in confirmation as she put the elements back into her saddle as Luna and herself started to walk down the path as I shouted at them.
“Where are you going aren't you going to bring the statue,” as I turned around to point to it I found that it was gone.
“It is already at the castle now come on Kyle, you don’t want to fall behind,” Celestia said in a motherly tone which seemed to pull me into her motherliness as I smiled as I started to run towards the sisters, already used to this crazy world.
“Wait for me then…sunbutt,” I whispered the last word as I caught up to then as my pace slowed so that it was equal to theirs.
‘I could be a co-ruler of an actual castle, oh man if Cartman could see me now,’ I thought happily that since I was a king the sister would let me rule with them which would be way better than when Cartman did that ‘Christmas Critters’ story in class just to offend me. Man if Cartman could see me now…’

Meanwhile in South Park a young boy ran straight out the front door of Kyle house as he had found out that he was missing from his house. Which meant that ‘The Stick of Truth’ game that was planed would be postponed until Kyle was found. As the young boy in a cape, wearing a wizard hat fell to his knees he screamed a word that was heard throughout the world.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
******
“…Noooooooo…” I swear I thought I had heard a noise of someone screaming that seemed to make me feel so freaking happy, but I just ignored it as I continued to walk with the sisters towards there castle…one that I could actually help rule.
‘Awesome’
