Asura's POV:

I was keeping company with Fluttershy's night animals (A/N: sorry, i don't know the proper term for night animals, so to put it short: my english grammar sucks). But when I decided to get some sleep, I felt two powerful beings on the other side of the door.

"Who's there?" I heard no anwser. Instead i was greeted by two powerful mantra blasts. (A/N. Asura is no longer in his mantra form OR varja Asura mode.)

"GAH!!" These blast were different, they DID hurt, but they didn't damage me. It stunned me for a moment. I was going to stand up until i felt myself being levitated by a blue mantra field, which I dispersed with ease.

"Why did you attack me?" I asked before looking at my enemies. They were what looked like a hybrid between a pegasus and a unicorn. They were different in look

The smaller one had a dark blue fur and a mane that flowed unnaturally and looked like a night sky.

The bigger one had snow white fur and had a mane flowing the same way as the other one. But this one had a rainbow coloured mane which had sparkles coming out of it.

"Please forgive my sister, she always was more... 'shoot first, ask later' type of pony." The white one explained her sisters actions, which the blue one was now ashamed of.

"I forgive you. Now how about we present each other instead of attacking on sight?" I replied with a smug smirk. The white one was first to anwser. "I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of equestria, and the godess of the day and sun." "And i am Princess Luna, also a co-ruler of equestria, and the godess of the moon and the night."

They're both deities? "My name is Asura. I am one of the eight guardian generals of shinkoku, and also the god of wrath." They seemed amazed that i was a deity. "Now would you mind explaining why i am in your interests?" Luna seemed to be again shamed for her actions.

I started to walk towards her and put my hand under her chin to let her see my face. "I told you that I forgive you didn't I?" I smiled and she smiled too. "I understand that you're ashamed. But don't worry, I'll get equal with you... at some point..."

I winked at Celestia which was now snickering under her hoof. "What do you mean by that?" Luna asked me. "...You'll see."

"What's going..." We all turned our heads to see Fluttershy coming downstairs all sleepy and adorable... Adorable? Am I growing clingy to these equines? "...o-on?" He bowed to the princesses quicker than the eye could see "W-welcome to my hut princesses! Can I h-help you somehow?"

"No thank you, we came here to see your new friend." She turned to look at me and saw the burn marks on my stomach, I was wiping them away until Flutters dashed to me and went crazy worried much to everyones suprise.

"Oh my god, you're hurt!! W-we need to get you help!! I d-don't know how i should help you and..." I put a finger on her muzzle and she eeped. "I'm fine Fluttershy, you don't need to worry. The mantra blast did hurt me, but it didn't damage me. I see that you hate being unable to help someone, or something."

She nodded and backed away. "What do you mean by 'mantra' blast?" I looked at the princesses and they looked confused. "In my world, the source of my power is called mantra. They are prayers from mortals and sometimes... even their souls can be turned in to mantra..." The princesses had a face of fear on them.

"You didn't use these souls right?" The little pegasus asked... with tears flowing down her cheeks. I put on sad face. "If I said no I would be lying... But I didn't use any souls for my own power, my rage was simply so great that i was able to self-sustain my mantra."

Everyone in the room had a sad face. "Princesses, I would like to tell you my whole story. But if there're any other important ponies that should hear it, you're welcome to invite them."

Twilights POV:

"Twilight we've been over this, you don't need to be so stressed!" "Stressed? STRESSED?! I'm not stressed, I'm terrified! What if something bad is going on?! What if the elements of harmony are gone?! What if the changelings are attacking again?! What if..." "TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!! CALM DOWN!!!" Spike yelled at my ear and i felt them ring for a moment.

"I know you must be freaking out, but maybe they just want to talk, or have a nice cup of tea. Besides, if it was an emergency, they would've said so in the letter." Spike always knew how to calm me down, afterall, he's my #1* (*number one) assistant. "Thank you Spike." I hugged him. "Anytime."

"Well I better be going, you're in charge of the library, tell me anything you need since i'll be with the princesses." I went outside and saw the chariots waiting for me. "Are you ready Twilight Sparkle?" A royal guard asked. "Yes I am."

He took me to the chariot and saw all of my friends waiting me there:

Applejack, the element of honesty, and a proud apple bucker of Sweet Apple Acres.

Pinkie Pie, the element of laughter and the happiest pony in all of Equestria.

Rarity, the element of generosity, and Equestrias greatest fashionista.

Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty, and the fastes flier in of Equestria.

And finally, Fluttershy, the element of kindness, and the bravest pony in my books.

"Hey there Twilight, what took ya so long?" I blushed lightly and said. "Well... I had one of those breakdowns where I think too much... again..." All of my friends laughed. "Say Twilight, do you know any reason why the princesses could call us so late?" I saw Dash and Flutters looking at each other before saying together. "We do."

"Well spit it out then!" Pinkie said with her evermost glee. "W-well we found a creature in the forest that was like nothing I've ever seen..." Something that Fluttershy hasn't seen? Now i'm very interested... "H-he said that he was a god." "A GOD?!" A new god?! In Equestria?!

[Insert inconvinient timeskip here. Why? Because i can ]

We were discussing about what he would look like, and apparently this god called Asura asked Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to not tell us what he looked like. So we decided to play guessing game, first we asked if he was an alicorn, which he was not. Then later on we decided to leave it there since we were close to the castle.

When we landed everyone was tired. Most of us were tired because of the length of the flight, and others were tired before the trip. "Ugh! I look absolutely hideous! I can't show myself to them in this shape!" Rarity whined. "C'mon goldy lox, get over your mane and understand that the princesses don't care what you look like." Applejack said.

"Besides, if one of those no-good gold flanks come note on you, I'll beat them up." Rarity seemed more confident but there were still some bad looks from the crowd. "Let's go girls."

3rd person POV

The mane six were clopping (NOT THAT CLOPPING, YOU PERVERTS) past Canterlot streets to the throne room. "Are you the elements of harmony?" A guard asked. The six nodded. "Follow me please." The girls obliged. As soon as they were in the throne room, they saw the princesses sitting on their thrones.

"So nice to see you again my dear subjects." All of the elements bowed. "No need to do that since you're all my dear friends." Pinkie Pie jumped in front of the princesses. "Where'sthenewgod,Iwan'ttogivehimthewlcometoEquestrianewgodofanotheuniverseparty!" "She was quickly pulled back by a purple coloured magic.

"S-sorry, guess i'm a little excited about this new god." He grinned and blushed lightly as she backed away, Celestia giggled at Pinkie's everlasting excitement. "I understand."

The group went to the dining hall to meet this new god. "Asura? Are you here?" There were heavy steps before Asura became visible to the other four ponies. "Girls, I'd like you to meet Asura. From planet Gaia, the god of wrath."
