The Princesses waited for what felt like hours, when they just been standing there for 10 minutes. The two ponder if they were even able to summon someone or something, to come to their world.
Luna looks at her sister, with a look of unamusement, "Dear sister, I feel as though we accomplished nothing. We have been waiting here, gawking at the floor for awhile now, and I am already bored of waiting!" The young moon princess pouts.
Celestia looks over to her, before giggling softly at her, "Oh Lulu, I know it seems like we have been waiting for awhile, but it has been only ten minutes. I mean we can't really expect our summons to reach out far, but we must be patient."
Luna sighs, calming down and giving a small smile, "...I suppose your right Tia. Sorry. Its just, this is the very first time we are actually calling something from outside the borders of our world. I mean, who knows what this stranger would look like. For all we know, it could be some monster of sorts, or not even a pony."
"While whatever comes, we must welcome this stranger with open arms, and as give them as much respect as if they were any other pony. Fortunately, we were able to give our summons to one who would have an open heart, so we should be able to narrow it down to a good degree." Celestia said, still looking at the warped spot with a smile.
Luna simply nodded, "How are we going to explain our situation to this stranger? I mean they might be a bit confused and baffled at arriving in a world that isn't theirs."
Celestia chuckles, "No worries little sister, we shall be open with them, and surely they will be understanding to our plea. I am confident in that."
Just before Luna could say more in the matter, light begun to shine in the spot. The two alicorns were surprised by this, after waiting awhile for this, and jumped back a bit while keeping a calm composure. The light turns into a oval shaped portal, that stood a few inches taller than Celestia, and the two await with some eagerness to their visitor, and hopefully savior.
|------------***------------|
The young traveler of the Rift, who just entered a doorway after hearing the calls of some voices that came from the doorway, was walking in what looked like a long hallway of light as there was nothing but pure white. He just continued walking as he begins hear talking.
"Huh? What is that?" He looked around as he walked, listening carefully. His eyes looked ahead, "That sounds like the voices I heard coming in here. Could it be people?"
He picked up the pace as he can hear the talking getting more clear and close, meaning he was soon entering the world in which this doorway was taking him. He grinned widely, excited to see what kind of world it would be, as well as get some answers about the summoning.
Soon he sees the exit as he walks out of the doorway, his vision blurring a bit after just walking out of a long hallway that was white. His eyes adjusted to see where he was, the portal behind him closed as he looked ahead of himself, "Okay...looks like I'm in a castle of some sort...odd place for an exit point, figured I be someplace a bit more conspicuous..." He crossed his arms as goes into a deep thought, before hear a cough from behind that snaps him out as he turns around, to be meet with two alicorns. The tall white one was simply smiling lightly at him, while the smaller dark blue one just blinked at his appearance wondering what he was.
"Um....wow, this is new." The young man, stared back at the two, somewhat baffled, before he waves at them, having no idea how to approach the fact he is seeing two winged unicorns.
Celestia just giggles at his confusion and him waiting, before she returns it, "It is okay young one...we mean no harm. Please, step forward."
The young man blinks, realizing that she was talking, then again having psychic powers he was capable of understanding the speech of a Pokémon like it was nothing, however with Celestia he didn't get that, she was actually speaking normally. After she told him to step forward, he nods as he slowly walks in front of the two alicorns, still confused.
"I can tell that you wish to know where you are, and why you have arrived. We shall explain ourselves, but first allow us introduce ourselves." Celestia said, continuing her soft, calm gaze at the visitor.
"I am Princess Celestia, the Princess of the Sun and co-ruler of the land of Equestria." Celestia looks down to her sister.
"And I am Princess Luna, the Princess of the Moon and co-ruler of the land of Equestria. We are sisters, Tia being the eldest and I'm the younger one." Luna said, still eyeing at him. "Who might you be...and what are you...?" The young princess asked.
He took this all in, as he learns he is in a land known as Equestria, the rulers of the land are winged unicorn ponies, and notices how colorful the place looks, compared to the other dimensions and worlds he has visited. Hearing that they are princesses, he immediately goes and kneels down, placing his hand over his chest, bowing.
"My name is Logan. I am known as the Eon Guardian, and hail from another dimension, on a world known as Earth. I am known as a human, which is prolly kind of out of place in...this world. Cuz if you two are really rulers of this land, then I am going to assume that it is mainly inhabited...by ponies." He said as he stood up looking at the two, as they nodded.
"Yes, you are indeed correct." The two princess go and explain to Logan the types of ponies that inhabit Equestria, what they do and how the world in which Equestria is in, functions as it relies heavily on the ponies, to which stuns the young Guardian.
"...I see. So pretty much most of the things that would occur naturally on my world, ponies actually take part in doing?" He asked as he crossed his arms, to which Luna tilts her head when he mentioned how his world functioned. "What do you mean by naturally occurring?"
Logan smiles, "Oh, well my planet actually does everything itself, as in it rotates on an axis, as it moves from day to night. Basically our world orbits around the sun, as it is the center star, and the moon lights the night sky naturally. Heck, the moon can even be seen during the day. Also, the weather also is all the planet's doing and such, but I won't go into much detail than that."
This actually stunned the princesses, learning how different their worlds were, but at the same time how similar they were as a society.
"Anyway, may I ask is how is it that you came to hear our summons?" Celestia asked changing the subject, curious as to how this man got there so easily.
"Oh, well I was traveling in the Rift." He just simply said.
They blinked and looked at him, "The...Rift? What's that?"
"The Interdimensional Rift, it is basically how I travel from world to world and dimensions. I was traveling through there when I heard, I guess it was your voices, and then this doorway opened up. So I figured, why not, and check it out. Was pretty excited to check out a new world, and so far, I am impressed."
The sisters looked at each other, smiling, realizing that not only did someone answer their call, but were in fact happy that he found their world impressive and came there, on his own free will.
Celestia looks to Logan, clearing her throat, "Well then, now that we got all that taken care of, I believe it is time we explain ourselves as to why we were calling for help from outside our world..."
He nods as he snaps his fingers, as a chair came out of nowhere and sat down, "I'm all ears, Your Highnesses."
They blinked as they saw the chair come out of nowhere when he snapped his fingers, "H...How did you...do that?" Luna was the first to asked, mouth wide open. Logan smiles, "Traveling through the Rifts of time and space, you learn some things, like summoning common things from another space, this case. My favorite chair from back home. Now then, not to sound brash, but I'll explain more of my abilities, after I hear the story you are gonna to share with me."
Celestia and Luna just look at each other, seeing how he was pretty eager to know why he was brought here, but eager in a calm and collective fashion. Celestia nods, "Right, here is what is going on..."
Celestia and Luna began explaining everything that has happened recently, and the story about the Ancient Evil now free from its imprisonment in the deepest bowels of Tartarus, and the ancient blade that was used by the Hero of Realms in the past. Logan sat there, as he listens very carefully and patiently with intrigue. The story itself seemed to have taken at least an hour and a half to explain.
"So you are in need of a champion of types, to help destroy this darkness from taking over your world?" He asked after they were finished.
"We know, we'd be sending a stranger of not from this world, into danger that they themselves shouldn't be involved in. The darkness is still at a weakened state, but it will regain its power in due time. How long that will take, we do not know..." Celestia closes her eyes, with a bit of regret in her voice, just having this young man get dragged into something he shouldn't even need to be involved in.
Logan sat back as he closed his eyes, going into deep thought for a minute. After which, a smile formed on his face, followed by a chuckle, "I guess I get dragged into a lot of affairs like these, I am a Guardian. I want to help others, protect those from those who wish to inflict mortal harm. I mean it isn't the first time I saved a world from disaster."
Both princesses ears perked up, "What do you mean? Your saying you saved another world in the past?" Celestia said in a surprised tone.
"Well yeah, it was a world known as Gaia. I made some friends there, a Red Mage girl, a family of Black Mages, family of dragon knights and dancers. Saved them from this crazed guy who wanted power, but feared about his own mortality and wanted to make sure everyone perished with him so he wouldn't be alone. Kind of sad story actually, but we were able to avert disaster there as it happened before in the past, believe or not. Now, there is peace there, but for me I haven't visited the world in like 2 years, which would likely be 20 years in their time..." He closes his eyes, remembering the Red Mage girl in particular.
They looked at him, amazed that he was able to accomplished something as dangerous as that, but also got helped from friends he formed there. Celestia then spoke up, "Well, we hope you'd be able to help us, as this task may be rather dangerous. But, if you are capable of exploring the land and-" She was cut off by Logan, "No worries, I'd love to meet some ponies and make new friends. Anyway I can help with this problem, I'm your guy."
"Just like that...you want to help us and make friends too?" Celestia eyes widen, not expecting him to actually accept the task that willingly.
"Well...yeah. I'm always up for meeting new people...or ponies. And its been awhile since I had a good adventure, so that in itself is a plus." He places his hands behind his head, smiling.
Both could do nothing but smile, "Well, we are so pleased that you are all for helping us!" Luna said excitedly.
"Indeed, now before you go out and get familiar with Equestria, there is one thing we want to do before you go." Celestia said with a smile.
Logan tilts his head, "What is it?" Celestia walked forward, looking at him, "We feel as though you should get acquainted being in Equestria, but since nopony has ever seen a human before we don't want to shock them..."
Logan blinked, at the fact that he is likely the only human in this world, "Well what do you propose?"
Celestia closes her eyes, thinking it through before looking at him, "You should at least look the part...if you know what I mean."
Logan thought about what she meant before coming to the conclusion, "Ooooooooh, I see. Well if that is what you wish for me, then I won't refuse that. Just as long, as I can reclaim this form."
Celestia nods, "Yes, of course. It would be wrong if we would make you into something and had no intention having you turn back to what your suppose to be."
Logan smiles, "Well then, go on ahead. Change me, it will be fine. The magic would go into this..." He holds up a small, blue looking orb that was dark blue around the center and sky blue in the outer parts, "...and I can just focus my mind into shifting back to human then."
The more they hear about his abilities, the more it interests the princesses as he seems to have know magic that would likely be forbidden, like arcane magic spells, which in his case be Black Magic spells. Not wanting to waste any time, the sisters close their eyes as their horns begin glowing an aura around them, as their combined aura surrounds Logan, making him feel relaxed as he becomes enveloped in light. The magic begins being absorbed into the small blue spherical orb, as well as beginning to change his physical appearance.
Soon the light fades, as the two sisters open their eyes to see if they were successful, to their surprise, it was. There now stood a light gray, Earth Stallion, with blond spiky mane and tail, brown eyes, and on his flank, a green triangle symbol that was seen on his clothing which is now gone. He looks at his new form and examines himself, "Wow, don't know when the last time it was when I was on fours, normally I'd be hovering and have wings, but I can get used to this." He gives a smile, to which the two princesses giggled and smiled as well at his new form.
"You do make one handsome gentlecolt." Said Celestia, who was just happy to know that she and Luna were able to transform him into a pony.
"Now then, with that done, I suggest that you head for the small town called Ponyville. You will see a large crystal-like tree just sitting outside the town. That is the castle of my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. She is also a princess, a Princess of Friendship. She would likely be thrilled to meet you. There is a train station that goes from and to Ponyville often so you can just ride there, but you would need bits to buy a ticket, and since you aren't from this world, I doubt you have any to spare..."
Logan smirked, "Oh no worries..." He made a bag appear out of nowhere like he did with the chair, "...I never leave home unprepared." Inside the bag, was likely 5000 bits, which astonished the princesses that he had money already and just came to this world. "Wherever I go, any money that I have, will just change into the local currency, so I am ALWAYS prepared."
The two sisters just looked at each other, now really wanting to know more about this man, or pony, but really need to let him go. "Well then, you should have no problems getting to Ponyville. I will send a letter to Twilight and let her know about your arrival and to be expecting you. I would have summoned her and her friends here, but I think you could do a good job explaining everything that me and my sister told you. We have a good feeling about you, so I trust you won't fail." Celestia said with a caring grin, which he returns.
"Don't worry I will not let you down, I promise you..." He kneels on one hoof, "...I will do my utmost to keep your world safe..."
Luna and Celestia nod as the latter, "If you wish to speak to us, don't feel hesitant to come back here. We will try and assist you in anyway possible. As well, feel free to talk to the other ponies, surely they will help you as well, especially Twilight and her friends."
He nods as he begins to head to the large doors, "Oh! Before you go, one more thing..." He turns his head back, "...We figured that since your a pony for now, maybe you should go by another alias, because we feel that you shouldn't tell everypony that you come from another world, but since Twilight is the most trustworthy pony we know, she would sure to believe you. But its best to keep your origins a secret from everypony else, understood?" Celestia said, giving him a serious look, but still saying it in a caring tone.
The pony nods, "Of course, and as for a name, tell Twilight to expect a...'Silver Guardian' to visit her. Okay?" He smiles.
Celestia nods, smiling, "Of course Silver, I will tell Twilight who to expect. Now you are free to go. Good luck out there."
He nods, giving a salute as he rushes out of the double doors. Luna giggles as she watched him go, to which Celestia looks at her, "What is so funny Lulu?" Luna just looks the other, holding her smirk, "Its nothing dear sister...just his name. It...fits him so well."
Celestia looks to where Logan ran out, before giggling too, "I suppose your right..."
