//------------------------------// // Memory of the past 1 Meeting // Story: A Key in Equestria // by Kamen rider yokai //------------------------------// I groaned as I came to and the first thing I see was a familiar dark blue alicorn princess giving me a worried look. "Are thou alright that was some fall thy took" said who I knew had to be Princess Luna. "I am not sure I'm just surprised I'm alive right now though I do feel sore" I said silently vowing to get back at the merchant for this. "Doust thou need assistance getting up" asked Luna. "That would be appreciated ... I can barely move after that fall" I said wincing as she levitated me onto my feet. Looking where I laid I winced seeing a crater and cracks in the roof. It looked like morning when I appeared but now it looked like it was nearly sundown. Must have been out for a while. "Forgive me for asking but who are you and what are you. I never seen anything like you before" said Luna. "My name is James, a human from earth. A seperate world from your own. Though I'm not here of my own free will" I said with a sigh remembering that merchant. "How did thee end up on our planet" asked Luna curious. "Long story short I bought two items from a merchant that brought me here. When I realized my settings had changed I found myself up there the rest you know. Now I know the source of those disappearances back home. If I know my dimensional theory the other disappeared humans must be on different versions of your world at different points in time. Maybe the future of this world or in the past. Uh my world is more technologically advanced and I'm guessing magic exists here right well magic is almost nonexistent back home save illusions. Uh sorry I tend to ramble once I try to figure out something" I said as I realized I was getting off track. "No problem but that does seem likely and fits thy situation. Before we forget we are Princess Luna co-ruler of this kingdom or at least it would be" said Luna. "Nice to meet you Princess Luna, I'm guessing your magic involves the moon from your name?" I said with a smile as it was to painful to bow in my condition. "Same, and your correct I raise the moon while my elder sister raises the sun. Though your arrival is at a dire time" said Luna. "What happened" I asked. "Currently this world is controlled by a chaos spirit named Discord. Me and my sister are the only alicorns in existence here at the moment. Frankly Discord is a tyrant causing chaos all over. Eventually he will start killing off the citizens out of boredom which is why me and my sister must stop him. If you can help that would be appreciated" said Luna. "I can help sure but first I got to recover that fall from the sky did a number on me" I said trying to move my arms and winced. "Luna there you are!.... who's this with you" said the white furred alicorn now walking up to us. "Celestia meet James a human stuck on our world. Seems he bought a few items that had a spell woven into and ended up here. I found him unconscious in that crater" said Luna nodding to the crater. "And currently having a hard time moving from the pain. Princess Luna told me of your situation" I said. "Yes he has agreed to help after recovering sister" said Luna. "Really you will help us defeat Discord" asked Celestia wide eyed. "Yes I will, good thing about being descended from 17 generations of kings is that I got a strategic mind" I said. "Your royalty!" Asked Luna shocked. "Yeah but the time of kings has past on my world. So I was raised like a common person. Which I'm glad for I just want to be treated like a normal person" I said but than I noticed my voice sounded off. "That explains your manner of speech" said Luna. " Yeah my eye color is from those kings so it runs in my family" I said and there was no doubt about it I sounded younger than I should. "Well James let's get you some medical attention and let you get some rest" said Celestia as she and Luna levitated me through the castle to where I was going to stay for a while. I laid in the temporary bed thinking over my situation as I slowly gained enough movement to feel my chin. I felt smooth skin. That proved it I was somehow 14 again. Was the price of being sent here reversing my age to fit the character I was dressed as? I sighed thinking over this development. I was stuck in a world I saw as a cartoon at a crucial point in this world's history and I'm currently trapped with possibly no way home. It was around midnight as per usual that I fell asleep. I had a feeling things are only going to get hectic soon. (End chapter)
