…
The way towards the so called castle was very boring as all I heard was the wind which wasn't very entertaining so I decided that I needed to ask the sisters a few questions.
“So now that Discord is gone will you two be ruling the land now?” I asked them as the youngest nodded.
“Yes we will be Kyle as you already know I will be controlling the sun and Luna shall be controlling the moon,” I took that information into account as I relayed my thoughts to the sisters.
“And I will be controlling the nature I guess,” I said as they looked at me curiously.
“What do you mean Kyle?” Celestia asked me as I looked her in the eyes.
“Well Celestia, back before the war broke out I used to be called the King of Life as well since I am able to control the nature around me. I can make plants grow into large trees within seconds or keep them from growing out of control; the wind speaks to me as I can also send messages across the land through the wind and my magic is mostly nature and solar magic,” thank God listening to solar energy in class paid off.
I think it was solar energy but the beam that my staff created was pure white,’ I thought to myself as Celestia looked at me fondly probably because she controls the sun…oh yeah and probably due to me wanting to help herself and her sister in ruling the land with my new found powers that were amazing by the way.
“Of course you can Kyle, it would be nice to have someone who can keep the forest in check as well as a King helping us rule,” she replied happily as I sweat dropped.
“Um…Celestia, will there be any diplomatic meetings that I may have to do because I wasn't very good at organizing the laws of this newly freed land. I may be a king and you may be princesses but I want you two to treat me like a normal per-pony,” I told her as Luna looked at me with sadness on her face.
“We are sorry that you were not treated as a normal pony but we would be glad to be your conversation pony,” she said as I raised my brow, Celestia’s face turning into a smile once more.
“You mean like a friend, an actual friend?” I asked her as she blushed and nodded. Besides who would pass up being actual friends with two princesses…even though they may be ponies I didn't really care, as being away from Cartman was heaven for me anyway.
“Yes, I would be happy to accept your friendship so we can work together so that in time ‘our’ kingdom shall be restored,” I said in a louder tone trying to get there spirits up. Celestia looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
“‘Our’ kingdom?” she asked in a joking tone but I didn't notice that tone as I replied.
“W-well yes, since we would be working together to restore a kingdom I thought that it could be our kingdom since mine is…gone,” I said in a sad tone, Celestia and Luna both saw the sadness in my tone as Luna comforted me with her wing but what they didn’t know was that I wasn't thinking about my ‘kingdom’ but about my ‘good’ friends back home. I wish that Stan was here…or at the least Butters.
“Oh Kyle I’m sorry that I brought that up again, I was just having a little fun with you,” she said as I brushed it off.
“No, don’t worry about it Celestia, its fine.”
Heh, it’s funny really. Normally I would be yelling at them both for making fun of me but then again they weren’t, which made me feel more sad about myself actually being alone. I had also noticed that my temper wasn’t as short as it usually was, probably due to this wacky world and learning from Stan’s dad say…what was it called again…‘Roll With It’? Then the two sisters stopped walking as I looked back at them with confusion.
“Dude…why did you stop?” she looked confused for a second (due to me saying ‘dude’) then her face turned to a mischievous smile as I slowly turned around and saw that I was standing right in front of the entrance to a large stone castle.
“Welcome Kyle, to the castle of the royal pony sisters,” Luna announced as I took in the view of it all. It was all completely made out of stone with tapestries of the sun and moon…well that was expected. As I admired the castle the two sisters started to open the large double doors as I jumped back into reality, running into the castle as well.
When I got inside I noticed that there were other ponies inside the castle but they seemed smaller that the sisters and I as my height was just up to Luna’s eye level. The sisters were talking to a few of the ponies about defeating Discord. Cheers were heard throughout the castle as I looked at the castles interior which wasn't that bad. It had torches on the walls, red carpets on the ground, more tapestries and the large archways that were on the left and right sides that probably led to other rooms.
I then noticed that it was quiet…too quiet, when I focused my eyes to the rest of the room I saw that all the ponies were looking at me with fear in their eyes…damn. I saw one of the ponies point at me.
“W-w-what is that!” she exclaimed in a panicked tone, thinking that I was a monster as the sisters tried to calm them down but to no avail. So it was up to me then.
“My name is Kyle and I am the King of the Elves and of the nature around you,” I replied back in a cool tone as murmurs started to go around the room as ponies in armour started to surround me.
“What is he?”
“He’s a King?
“He controls nature?”
The ponies in armour (who I think were the guards) pointed their weapons at me in defence as I took out my staff/golf club, getting ready to kick there asses if I had to.
“By the order of the new princesses you are under arrest,” one of the guards said in a firm tone. I thought I should screw around with them and show them my new powers.
“Since when did the princesses say that I was under arrest, they didn't give the order but if you try to hurt me-,” I lifted my staff up, a bright white light glowed from my staff as I saw about thirty elves standing behind me but they were like ghosts as they had their arrows ready to fire. “-I will be forced to defend myself,” I said as everyone/everypony in the room stared behind me, eyes wide with shock and amazement at my power to be able to summon a small elf platoon.
“Put your weapons away guard, he is our friend and shall not be harmed,” said the voice of the lunar princess as she stepped forward while I lowered my staff, the white glow fading away as the elf archers disappeared. Celestia stepped forth.
“Do not fret my ponies for he is the one who helped us in defeating discord,” she said with pride as I felt my ego rise up again while the other ponies gasped with shock…well that was expected.
“And I would like to say that he will become the ruler of nature, the third ruler in Equestria,” she exclaimed happily.
‘Ruler of nature huh? I kinda like that,” I thought to myself as all ponies started to bow (excluding Celestia and Luna) to me as I felt kind of embarrassed a bit and that I knew now that there was going to be a third ruler, me.
“Okay you can stop bowing to me now…my ponies…,” I said the last words with hesitation as I knew that sounded a bit wrong in some way. As they got up they started to walk in their own directions muttering about the new ruler of Equestria.
“Wow, a King! Can you believe it!”
“He can control nature? Like trees and plants?”
“That royal attire was simply gorgeous.”
I looked towards the two sisters, giving them a thank you smile as they returned it, then Celestia looked out the window.
“Well looks like it is time for the moon to rise, this way Kyle,” she said as I followed the sisters to a large balcony which seemed to show the entire town and forest below.
“Kyle, could you kindly step back please,” Celestia asked as I took a few steps back from them as the sisters rose up from the ground, their horns glowing just as the sun started to set and the moon started to rise from the other side.
When the moon was in the sky Celestia and Luna started to lower themselves to the ground. So that means that they do control the sun and moon in this world…that was actually pretty cool in my book.
“Now I think it is time for you to go to bed young one because you will have a big day tomorrow as we will be introducing you to the ponies of Equestria to their third ruler,” Celestia said in a motherly way as I suddenly realised how tired I felt and now she was treating me like a little kid (which I was).
“Fine then Celestia, I’ll go to bed but I’m not five you know,” I mumbled the last part as Luna pointed her hoof down the hall, her face smiling a bit at what I mumbled toward her sister.
“Your bed is down the hall there, third door to your left-,” she said as she put on a smile that seemed to make me smile sleepily at her. "-and we will also talk about your magic tomorrow as well," I nodded at her as I walked down the hall, into my new room. I put my staff on the table and crawled into bed I closed my eyes slowly going to sleep.
SMACK!
I opened my eyes to a loud smacking noise. Then a random (female) pony below the castle gasping (over dramatically) in shock.
“OH MY CELESTIA! THAT FALLING BRICK KILLED IRON SHIELD!” I got out of bed and ran to the open window as I yelled in response.
“YOU BASTARDS!”
*****
As word got out that Kyle had gone missing, people started to search around South Park hoping to find the lost boy. They each split up to different sections to search for Kyle as one boy had to check the forest near South Park due to the wizard boy saying something along the lines of ‘You better search that forest and you will respect my authoriteh!!!’, lucky him right? This boy was going to be playing The Stick of Truth as well as he searched hard to find Kyle but so far found nothing that gave him a clue to knowing where he could be.
Just when the young boy was about to give up and head back into town and call it a night he spotted something hanging on one of the branches of the tree. As the boy looked at the object, he found out that it wasn't just one object, but two! He shook the tree as the two objects fell to the ground. Picking them up the boy saw that it was a silver flute with symbols that he had never seen before printed on it. The other object was a lute just his size with the same symbols on it as the flute.
To the boy these two instruments were way better than the ones he had. He put them on his back as he started walking home with his crutches but then he stopped, he noticed that everything was quiet…too quiet. When he looked around he saw that everything was frozen, the birds, the leaves and even the animals. As the boy wondered what was going on, he noticed that the instruments on his back were glowing a bright light due to how bright the forest had gotten all of a sudden.
The light consumed the boy as there was nothing left of where he was standing other than a paper hat, a feather and an echo through the woods.
“H-h-h-h-help!”
