Ponyville's Gate

The Info Game: Begin

I had the feeling of heat hit my face, the stickiness of sweat peeled off my face as I got off a silk pillowcase. Rolling off I noticed a large silver light overhead, the gargantuan sized spacial body overhead in a high 12 o'clock position in the sky, its been night for some time. I finally wake myself up and get up off the stone floor. Where ever I was the inhabitant was very rich, very important, or both. I notice the faint smell of burning cloth and pitch, wherever this was this didn't have electrical light or oil lamps and resorted to using torches to light the way. I walked out of the door and looked around, noting a shadow coming in from the far left at a marching pace. I twitched my pointy ears and slowly walked out to meet my shadowy friend.

"You're the Elf that Princess Luna brought? Please, come with me." it was a guardspony, one in more exotic looking armor than the ones I saw in Ponyville. Under his golden armor I spotted white fur and a blonde mane, his big blue eyes slightly reminded me of my little brother back home, by now he would be starting in kindergarten at the wonderful age of five. I shook my head free of my memories, I would have to get better connected with my family after I get done here in Equestria..if I can get out that is.

The pony, whom called himself True Shot (the bow around his neck supported his name) led me down a torch lit hallway, passing a few ceramic windows. I looked at these windows and saw that they told little short stories, evident by a plaque underneath showing the achievement to get a window. It seems that if you somehow save Equestria you get a giant window for nopony to see. I decided to bide my time and shorten the trip by looking at these windows.

One seemed to be of six ponies taking down a large creature out of shadow, the eyes were a clear glassy blue color and it had a mouth with fangs as sharp as knives, what threw me off more was the six ponies. They looked so much like the six ponies that protected Ponyville from the mephits earlier this day. They seemed to defeat this thing with something called "The Elements of Harmony", as described on the plaque, it was translated into common by the Equestrians would be my guess, or their native language was similar to ours after assimilating us...well humans actually... into their culture.
I walked past another, this time the same ponies are battleing something that is akin to Judas getting mangled by rabid dogs and Doctor Frankenstein had a science-gasm all over this creature, it was a mess, no wonder it got blasted from the deadly prism laser, it must've been in some pain. Apparently this thing was called Discord and he was referred as a god of chaos.

I continued past some more unimportant ones, like an invasion on some place named Canterlot during a royal wedding. A dragon saving an unfound city from some sort of evil. They didn't seem to interest me any unlike these "Elements of Harmony". They were interesting to say the least, to reach ultimate friendship and balance sounded like something a Druid would pull out of their tree hugging coat or something.

I shook my head and looked at another, I seemed to have skipped one because the Elements had changed, and Alicorn sat with the main six after destroying a large centaur demon named Tirek, a monster that apparently sucked the magic out of humans and ponies to make himself more powerful and start making a ruckus. He had what was coming to him apparently, getting jailed into Tartarus until Cerbeus gets distracted again.

True Shot led me to a door and bowed.
"It was nice to meet you kind Elf, may your strikes hit true and fair warning, Princess Luna isn't one to take lightly." He then trotted off
I took his words with care and opened the door, it led to a massive library. Walls were lined and filled to the brim with books upon books, it was overwhelming and It actually made me anxious. Sure if I was in a room like this with a few snacks and some water I would be lost in my own world, but when I had a task to do I usually do it first. The light hum of some sort of ethereal noise filled the air, grabbing at my curiosity I followed the noise.

Seeing a light blue alicorn next to Twilight, the latter reading a book and the first sipping on a cup of some tea. The light blue nodded at a seat and I sat in it.
"Its nice to actually see you, Princess." I remarked, my attention caught at the Pony with her nose in the book.
She nodded and passed a cup of tea, which I gladly accepted, despite my hatred of tea it felt as if sand was in my throat.

"Our sister is doing a favor for us, so you will not meet her today, unless she deems it necessary that is." the night Princess stated after swallowing her tea. I quickly nodded and looked at her.

"You wanted to ask some questions right? Like how I got here and all of that?" I asked, sipping some more tea and swish it in my mouth, and promptly drop a cube of sugar in. She nodded and pulled out the Litany with a telekinetic spell.

"You had this with you right? Mind if I ask what it is?" She asked with an eyebrow raised. I looked at the Litany, if I had heat vision I would've burned several holes in it by now. I gave a sigh and looked up.

"First of all you have to know, I'm no elf, I'm a human, and I'm no human from Equestria or Equss or whatever this planet is called. I come from a planet named Earth. On earth I work as a low class citizen and I went to something called a convention, I won't go into much detail, but I bought that book and it ported me here along with my friend Blaze." I stopped short and looked around. "Did you bring her here with you, Princess?" I asked hoping that my friend is doing okay."
The princess nodded once more. "Your friend is safe and asleep in Princess Twilight's castle, please continue your story."

I breathed in again, staring at my tea now. "When I woke up I found myself with the abilities as the person I am dressed as...A Moon Elf Necromancer by the name. Ysuran, Blaze also has the abilities of her costume as well." I added on and looked at her.

Princess Luna looked at me as Twilight lowered her book, the magenta colored princess seemed to have wrote all of this down on a small pad of paper. I looked between the two of them as I flushed a little, after the long pause Luna stood up, she seemed to be to the middle of my ribcage in height.

Twilight spoke up. "Ysuran if what you speak is true then you need to back this theory up, If there are other humans like you I want to know about it."
She cleared her throat. " I've recently read a book on books that detail spacial travel, mostly multiversal, all one has to do is make a 'Token' up and send it across universes, its taxing but it would probably help you gather information, whenever you visit another human in your position make sure to write it down and see if there is a connection, okay?" She finished off with a flourish and closed her book and pad. I could barely process the information myself but I followed the magenta princess this time into a room.

The room was empty save for a table and chair, I sat down in the chair and looked at my hands. If there were others in my position they must've been in the same predicament as I am right now, or maybe not. I decided on what to do. In my hands I made the
