//------------------------------// // Sams First Day // Story: Jetstream Sam in Equestria // by Starlight_Glimmer1267 //------------------------------// Twilight was doing her normal reading session, taking at least 8 hours of time Spike thought could be used as valuable sleep. So why he drifted away in dreamland, Twilight continued to do one of the many things that gave her life meaning. Mindlessly wandering through the infinite void which is knowledge. She always loved that analogy. Knowledge is infinite and it always seemed to captivate and draw her in like a black hole or those two for one deals she would see time to time in the marketplace. "And one day, he, the titan that destroyed Equestria many centuries ago. Kronos. Will rise from his prison in the deepest darkest part of Tartarus and resume his rain of terror." She had just turned the final page on an old Equestrian history book about the old gods, making tonight her record for most books read in one sitting. 93, 93 long books, page after page, word after word, letter after letter. And she couldn't get enough of it. Absorbing every punctuation mark and the secret knowledge hidden inside. "I guess it's time to hit the hay." She said looking out the castle window. Opening the shudder. "Is- Is that the sun..." She squinted from the new found uv assaulting her eyes. 'How long was I reading?' She asked herself over and over again in her head. Beginning to walk down the hall 'Oh well I'm not that tired anyway.' --------5 Minutes Later-------- "Twilight! Twilight!" Starlights voice rung down the hallway as she trotted warily toward Twilights bedroom. Almost in a gallop. She reached the door and was about to burst through when Spike ran in front of her and stopped her in her tracks. "Shh. Shh. Shh!" He scolded. "Why?" Starlight asked. "She's sleeping." Spike told her, returning to his post in front of her door. "Sleeping? How much did she get last night?" She asked confusedly. "None." Spike said. "WHAT!" Starlight yelled, electing more shushes from Spike. "Sorry." "Well ember has just scheduled a surprise visit, I got the letter about five minutes ago." She told Spike. Holding out a small decorative envelope. "Why?" He asked Starlight "She wants to know more about pony culture." She told him, pacing around at the thought of what to do. "Why don't you show her?" Yet another question leaving Spike's snout, or muzzle. Whichever you prefer. "She want to go with somepony she's familiar with." She told him. "Well, take Rarity. She went with Twilight and me to the dragon homeland." He suggested, calming the jittery Starlight. "Hey. Hey thats a great idea!" She shouted. Causing spike to pit his claw over her muzzle. "Sorry." She mumbled through his claw. The moment Spike let go of her she turned and bolted down the hallway. Leaving the click clack of hoofsteps in her wake. "I just don't know what to do with that mare." Spike mumbled. ----Meanwhile In Canterlot----- "Sister, the dimensional fabric is getting weak." Luna scolded the princess of the sun. "Are you sure you don't want to renew the spell?" "Yes, Luna, stop being paranoid. Has it broke before?" Celestia asked. "Yes. Bu-" Luna was cut off. Turning a corner leading into the throne room. "And what happened?" "Nothing, But something could. I simply do not think its worth the risk." Luna told her sister as Celestia took her spot on the throne. "If no risks were taken we wouldn't be anywhere with anything. Can you just trust me for this one?" Celestia asked. Luna sat there in thought for a moment before sighing in regret. "Alright, but if anything happens I will expect you to take full responsibility." Luna argued. "Don't I always, now go get some sleep." Celestia told luna. Luna rules during the night and Celestia during the day. Taking shifts greatly reduces the stress on both of them. And they both prefer it this way. -------------------------------- Sam put his hand over the giant cut in his abdomen. Staining his hand red with his own synthetic blood. Staring into the cold eyes of Jack The Ripper. "It's over Sam!" Raiden told him. "Hahahahah! You think it's over. It will never be over. You have ensured that." He said coughing up blood. "What do you mean?" Raiden asked. "I mean you have ensured the war economy will continue to thrive. The slaughter will continue." He bent down to one knee. "Goodbye, Jack." The last of the life drained from his body as he dropped Murumasa on the ground. The rest of his body soon followed suit, but not before winking to Blade Wolf. -------------------------------- Sam found himself floating around in a large white empty space. His sword back in the sheath. "So this is hell, I thought it would be nicer." He said as his voice echoed through off the walls. "Your not in hell, and you could have me to thank for that." A lady's voice rang back at him. "Who are you?" Sam asked. "You can call me what you wish, but most call me Harmony. Lets say I have borrowed you from my brother." Harmony told him. "What are you?" He asked. "Some call me god, some call me a guide. All you need to know is that I'm your savior." A small green horse with wings and a horn appeared in front of him. "What did you have in mind for me?" Sam asked. "Well, you see the world I have jurisdiction over needs a helping hand. I may be god but all I can do is watch. Their are already multiple gods there so its not going to help much if I do anything." She told him. "So you want me to help keep the peace?" Sam asked. "Im not asking you to do anything. This is completely your choice. Most likely all you'll have to do is help. But if you refuse I will give you back to my brother." She said. "Who might that be?" He asked her. "You call him, the Devil." Sam gulped at this. "Why me?" He asked. "Because you were the most qualified. Sure some were more powerful, but you are the only good one." She said, starting to circle him. "I agree, now what kind of world will I be going to?" He asked. "Their will be ponies, call them ponies not horses. They talk like me. Some have wings some have horns. Only four have both. Not including me. That's pretty much all you need to know. I will be dropping you off near a town called Ponyville. The lord of dragons is visiting the castle you will be placed near. Try to have a good first impression. I will also make you immune to magic. Just in case you go up against any unicorns.". She finished as a bright flash cane over Sam. -------------------------------- "Why didn't you wake me up!?" Twilight yelled at Spike as they both ran down the hall. Desperately trying to catch up with Starlight "You looked tired." Spike said, trying to save his case. "I just hope were not to lat-" She finished as she burst through the door, finding Starlight, Rarity, and Ember laughing on the stairs. "Ooohhh, hey Ember." "Hello, Twilight. Your friends have showed me such a wonderful time." She said twirling the ruby staff in her claws. They all stopped laughing and turned as they heard screaming coming from Ponyville. Seeing a large white figure walk over a nearby road leading to Ponyville on the way to the castle. "Well, they aren't very welcoming." Sam told them inching closer to the castle with his had on his sword. -------To Be Continued--------
