Guest Chapter: The Mane Event (vren55)
Celestia swallowed her tea awkwardly, her eyes averted to her saucer. Before today, she could count all the moments she had ever been truly terrified on four hooves. What was Luna thinking? Sure the venue was well picked. It was a restaurant on the beach. There were no roofs, walls or even floors to be destroyed by a date. Just setting sun on the horizon, comfortable pillows and towels to relax on, and a low table for her and her date’s dinner. Still, Celestia could not stop herself from shaking.
For languorously lying on the cushions in front of her, was a lion. The most handsome, of his kind she had ever seen from his golden tawny mane and immaculate coat, to his solemn, but somehow gentle, eyes.
And yet, every fibre in Celestia’s immortal being was telling her to scream and run for her bedchambers. Everything great about the lion also inspired terror.
“Something on your mind, Princess? You’ve been listening for most of the evening,” said Aslan, the lion of Narnia, his thunderous, and yet somehow gentle voice breaking the silence.
“Just wondering what my sister was thinking,” stammered Celestia without thinking. She bit back the urge to curse her foolishness.
“What has passed is in the past. We are here today and that which is present is all that matters,” said Aslan. Celestia took a moment to contemplate those words. It seemed her date was quite wise, if too fond of riddles.
“You are quite right. You said you were a teacher?” inquired Celestia.
Aslan chuckled heartily. “That is an apt description, but the role I play is more akin to a father, guide, king, and god.”
Celestia blinked, confused. “You speak of them as if they are one and the same.”
“Are they not? A father must guide his sons, judge them like a king, and must love them and be loved by them, like a god,” pointed out Aslan.
“Some gods would beg to differ, as would many kings, guides and fathers,” snorted Celestia, remembering a particularly lecherous Greek thunder god.
“It matters not what others think for that is their tale. What is important is what you think, Princess Celestia of Equestria” said Aslan, his great, royal eyes meeting Celestia’s. The alicorn resisted the temptation to squirm and met the lion’s terrifying gaze head on.
“A princess cannot always be a mother to her subjects if they stray away and turn into traitors,” said Celestia, a hint of sadness in her tone.
“As long as a king is willing to give his life for even the most horrible traitor, death itself will work backwards,” spoke Aslan.
Celestia frowned. Why did the cryptic lion seem to know exactly he was talking about? Intrigued, she asked her date that question.
“Oh. Well, I had to give my life to save a young human boy who betrayed his siblings, and my Narnians to the enemy, Jadis the White Witch. I had the Witch accept my life in return for his, and walked into the Witch’s camp where I let myself be bound, muzzled and shaved. Then the crowd of banshees, hags, minotaurs, ogres, wraiths, sprites began to kick, jeer, spit…” Aslan continued to describe his practical torture at the hands… claws of the White Witch’s supporters casually, not seeming to notice that Celestia was squirming uncomfortably.
“Alright! But why did you have to die in the first place?” interrupted Celestia.
“Because the Deep Magic of the Land demanded the traitor’s life. If it was not given, all of Narnia would be overturned and perish in fire and water,” said Aslan, a serious glint in his eyes.
Celestia gasped, awestruck at the humiliation Aslan, a god, had been willing to go through for a traitor. “You suffered, died just so that the traitor would live?”
“Yes. Well to be honest. I knew of a Magic beyond the Deep Magic. You see, if a willing victim who offered no treachery was killed in the traitor’s stead, death would work backwards and I would live. If I returned to kill the White Witch, I would have lost Narnia, and my father, The Emperor Under the Sea, would not be happy at all,” said Aslan cheefully. The lion proceeded to finish his rather large, quite bloody, steak.
Celestia glanced at the setting sun. It seemed the evening was almost at an end… which was just as well. Turning back to the lion, the alicorn smiled weakly
“Well, Aslan. I’m sorry,” said Celestia.
“Whatever for?” asked Aslan, an amused tone in his voice.
“I’ve enjoyed your company and talking to you. In fact, I would be delighted if you visited Equestria once in a while. But I don’t think its going to work out,” said Celestia. She had to admit, Aslan was polite, gorgeously handsome, and unquestionably a benevolent beast… But he was still a lion, far too enigmatic and at times, just plain creepy.
“Oh I knew from beyond the dawn of time that I could not have a relationship with you,” said Aslan nonchalantly.
Celestia glared at the lion, flabbergasted, jaw agape and anger flushing her cheeks. “Then why didn’t you just tell me?”
The lion winked. “Because then, young alicorn, that wouldn’t really be allowing you to make your own choice.” While Celestia stared uncomprehendingly, Aslan wiped his lips with a napkin, kissed the alicorn’s hoof, bid farewell and walked down the beach, disappearing into the setting sun.
“I think I understand how Twilight feels when I tease her,” groaned Celestia, burying her head into the pillow.
“Well at least you had a better time than the other dates. When did you say he will visit?” asked Luna.
Celestia smiled wistfully. “I don’t know. He’ll visit when he’ll visit. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about Aslan, it’s that he’s not a tame lion.”

Aslan of Narnia.
...Wow.
I freaking love it when Celestial meets those wiser than herself, plus I find Aslan to be one of the most interesting and cryptic immortals in the known multiverse.
Okay, that was pretty hilarious. I don't know anything about Narnia, but it was well done.
4184974 watch the movies they're better then the books
This is why I love the guys who actually know about love. They confuse the Tarturus out of people xD
4184997
I tried watching the movies. Couldn't stand them.
4185004 4184997 The first movie was alright, but the rest were meh. The books are... arguably better, but they get a lot more into the Narnia mythos... a good and bad thing. And Thanks Tatsurou
4184937
4184952 Oh I agree.
4185003 Cause love is confusing
4185015 Exactly! :3
Yes everyone Aslan is Jesus get over it.
Any chance that Skips from Regular Show could appear?

War, darksiders, search his wiki
4185053 4185073 4185088 4185140 4185148 You know... I kept asking for Aslan... until I got fed up asking and wrote this myself... Why don't you guys write the chapter with your gods/immortals? I mean... it'd be fun and you'll be very satisfied since you'll be writing the chapter yourself...
4185140
You mean Equestria Girls Discord.
4185173 No he is The Elder Scrolls version of discord
4185166 hmmm I might just do that...

... does this make Celestia a bigot?
(I'm kidding
)
Cryptic Metaphor!
Well this wasn't quite as funny as your chapters Bob; but I'm more than pleased for the change of pace.
This story has started to get repetitive.
~Leonzilla
PS: Oh yeah. I have to propose a character for this chapter too hum....
Well...lets say Fawkes because his personality is a large blank canvas to work with if nothing else.

pps: Arceus :p
4185166 The problem is I suck at detail
4185328 To be honest... this is on lowest quality of detail. You don't need much to write these chapters... just good character conception. People here for the comedy after all :D
4185342 no I mean REALLY bad I'm half way through the date with less then 300 words
I just love that final line. I can't remember which book it's from, just that it's awesome.
4185021 Technically, he's a fictional representation of Jesus, which means he's not actually Jesus, but what CS Lewis thought about Jesus. The christ figure is actually a common feature in literature since the man himself appeared AD; Neo, Anakin, Takanuva, and a whole host of other characters are born low, looked down upon, and ultimately rise up and give their lives for the greater good, before being reincarnated in some form to continue their work. And while they're all just characters, Aslan's line between character and god is by far the blurriest.
Also, my vote will always be for Alucard from the original Hellsing Ultimate dub. I find it interesting to imagine Tia's reaction to an immortal who doesn't believe in immortality. And then Seras shows up.
... Now I want to see her give Unicron a try for contrast.
4185166 But then it wouldn't be canon.
~Leonzilla
4185053 But he and goku...
Just cheek this video. This is part six of the seven part series Goku vs Everybody.
"Part one can be found here"
~Leonzilla
4185358 Think of more events then that should happen and your characters expressions emotions.
My only real criticism with this story... Is that the title doesn't really fit it anymore. It's now more something along the lines of:
But somehow I doubt that'll work quite as well.
Randall Flagg
4185590 kinda hard when one character doesn't feel or understand human emotion and has no mouth and speaks through telepathy
4185648 Emotion or lackof emotion still constitutes as character you can describe.
4185285 *scream of terror*
4185327 What if it's a Phoenix chapter where Fawkes and Philomena go on the date? It can either go perfectly well or get interrupted by another immortal known only as Phoenix.

This one did get defeated by the hero of the show he's from multiple times (and once by an ally known as Medusa, though that lasted only a few seconds) and revived each time, but only stayed defeated in the end because he got kicked into the sun (literally).
Whoa there! Let's not turn up the heat already. Keep this as Teen as possible, whew!
Ten! Ten points!
4185733
:D
Shut up and go away, Lion Jesus; nobody wants you here.
Speaking of wondrous and worshipped gods, how about some tentacle humor with... LORD HELIX!

4185905 Umm, he's already gone? In fact, you can say that Celestia dumped him
4185838
Either sarcastic, or innocent mind you have.
YAY! Now acknowledge me, senpai! Do Barragan! Please, RainbowBob-senpai! Please!
4185948
I just don't understand that last segment
4183926
Horus ran into the whispers of Chaos during his attempts to investigate the Orks, and then yeah, he was the one who attacked one of the Eldar worlds, one of the few that weren't the artificial ones. Then, he declared that it was 'the will of the Emperor', even though it was no such thing.
Neltharion the Earth Warder (aka Deathwing) from WoW, Malygos, or Nozdormu.
Get some dragon aspects in this.
I would say Sun Wukong or perhaps Ao Kuang - oh, she'd just hate those little buggers - but since those are just plain gods: how about Buddha Siddhartha Gautama instead?
4185408 Its actually implied in the book that AAslian IS Jesus. That they are one and the same. Just different reflections of the same being in different realities. After he did say " I have many names"
4184952 You can say that again. Being Jesus in another dimension is a mind boggling concept to begin with. The whole " I have many names" aspect.
