//------------------------------// // Entry 1 // Story: Diary of a Hero // by Napa39 //------------------------------// Entry 1 I have found a portal to a new world, where ponies and mythical creatures rule the planet. For those of you who don't know; portals only spontaniously appear in front of me when another planet needs help, or is going to need help. I have disguised myself as an Alicorn, seeing as they were the strongest of mythical beings I can think of that would roam the planet, and have located a castle city. The guards of said castle seemed surprised to see a light brown Alicorn walking to the front doors... Maybe Alicorns are as much of a myth here as they are on Earth... After convincing the guards to let me into the castle, they led me to a large room with four thrones placed on the opposite wall from the doors. I was told to approach the four beings that sat upon those thrones. The beings turned out to be the rulers of this place, which I later learned was Equestria, and these four beings were alicorns, just like me. Two of the Alicorns that sat in the middle were the king and queen of Equestria, while the other two (fillies) napping beside them were the princess'. The king and queen were surprised and a little shocked to see another alicorn that was not royalty (on Equestria), and they asked me for my name. Something of which I hadn't thought about since I got here. I said the first two words that came to mind: "Solar Flare" They gave me skeptical looks. "Tell me, 'Solar'. Why is it that an Alicorn such as yourself has decided to wander to our court?" The king had asked. I had to think of a story. I couldn't tell them what I was doing in Equestria. A story appeared in my head instantly. "Oh, did one of my spells misfire again?" I had said, causing sparks and morphing my wings away. turning me into a Unicorn, "I am but a humble Unicorn, here to help the royal family in any way. I am but a weary traveler who is very good with housework and (I had to think of the right words) foalsitting. Plus, I am good at, uh... fighting?" The king and queen looked at me quizzically for a few minutes. The king broke the silence. "If you're good at fighting, then prove it. GUARDS!" Two of the biggest pegasus ponies I had seen appeared in front of me, their armored wings threatening to cut me. They made the first strike; one went for my head, the other for my knees (in hindsight, that was not a good idea...) I jumped high, and aimed a weak stun spell on them. It seemed to hold well, but it was obvious that these guards were trained to withstand basic spells, so I shot my most powerful stun spell at them (it put them in a paralyzed coma for a few days). The king and queen were shocked at how powerful that stun spell was, and the noise of it had woken up the little night-blue Alicorn that was napping beside them. She stared at me with wide blue eyes, not from fear but from awe having seen the two guards standing frozen. I will end this entry here, I have run out of room on these pages I have found here in Equestria and must go fetch some more.
