Day 53
I'm not sure what I should write here. The sun is back up and everything I thought was true is false.
Celestia really does control the sun... and wasn't that a kick in the balls. There are few things I generally take for granted.
The Earth rotating around the sun kind of was one of those things.
Honestly, I still just feel... numb from the reveal.
The idea that I talked to what amounts to a genuine goddess made me panic for a good five minutes. The ponies don't treat her like that though... I haven't seen anything approaching worship. Just a great deal of respect.
As for why the sun went away? Apparently the place was taken over by another goddess, Celestia's sister, Luna who had been trapped ON THE MOON FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!
There was an announcement of what had happened which is the only reason I even know what happened. A group of womenMARES in ponyville managed to use some kind of magical super weapon to save Luna from her madness.
So now there are two rulers in Equestria... even if Luna has not been seen in public yet.
Fucking hell, wasn't that a complete paradigm shift for me to wrap my head around. You would think after waking up as a fucking unicorn nothing could surprise me anymore.
Apparently I was wrong.
Goddesses and manually controlled celestial(HA!) bodies.
Fuck me.
Page.
XXXXXXXXXX
I looked up from the journal and closed it as there was a knock on the door. Who could that be... I didn't know anyone here.
Putting the pen down into its holder, I walked over to pull open the door, “Hello?”
“Blank Page?” the guard on the other side asked. He looked identical to all other guards I seen, white fur and golden armor. Apparently their armor were enchanted to make them look the same for security, keeping their families safe.
I nodded, “Yes sir. That's me.” Now it is at least.
“Message to you.” He said and reached into his armor before pulling a scroll out, handing it over, “Have a good day.” he finished before turning to walk away, leaving me holding a scroll in my hoof.
What in the...
Kicking my door closed I lifted the scroll in my telekinesis and pulled the silk strap around it off before unrolling it.
It was from the court. Princess Celestia wished to see me tomorrow afternoon for tea to discuss matters relating to the culture on my old world.
Oh. Well... I suppose I understand why she would be curious.
...Yes, there is the feeling of panic. Celestia was powerful before, I knew this. But now I know she is a Literal immortal goddess!
One that didn't care to be worshiped, sure, but I was just invited to tea by THE FUCKING GODDESS PRINCESS OF PONYKIND!
Dropping the scroll, I took a slow, deep breath.
Okay. Calm. You like Celestia. She was very kind and understanding when you talked to her last. So calm the fuck down.
Sitting down, I closed my eyes and took a slow, deep breath.
None of the ponies here fear her from what I seen. She is not going to hit you with a sun.
Okay... okay.
Nodding to myself I got up again and walked up, picking up my satchel and slipping it over my neck, not even snagging on my horn this time.
I can lose sleep about meeting the Princess tonight. Now, I still have stuff to do before I can put together some salad for dinner.
Time to hit the library again. Magic was what I had assigned today to research. About the only thing I would get 'anything' done.
Assign subjects to each day and stick to it or I would just flutter between subjects that took my fancy for the moment.
As a afterthought I slid a bit into my satchel for some tea on the way home before heading out, locking the door behind me. Hopefully trying to wrap my mind around 'magic' of all things would keep me distracted for a while.
It is interesting in seeing where he was and where he is now in current chapters
A word of advice:
I'm not sure why you put quotation marks around the word "anything", since you aren't quoting anyone. If you simply wanted to emphasize that word, perhaps you could have used a bold or italicized font. As to Weird Al Yankovic once said:
Wonder how he would react upon meeting Pinkie?
That controls years, not days. Just saying.
6781755 Actually, quite a bit more controls years. Such as the Earth's rotation. Not just where the sun is. In reality, you wouldn't need a year system in Equestria since you control the seasons, the sun, and the moon...
I've had a thought. What if Celestia, instead of controlling the sun, controls Earth's rotation, while Luna actually controls the moon?
6781755 A year is actually called a revolution, not a rotation, that's a day.
This should be interesting...
6936618
Well said good sir. Its not every day we meet someone who understands the difference between a 'revolution' and a 'rotation'.
THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!!

Well, the difference is that a 'rotation' is what the Russian Tsar and his family did when they danced; a 'revolution' is what happened afterwards.

Actually a fairly common theory. Makes sense too; she still has control of the sun, but since it's so much larger than the planet (probably), the planet spins instead.
Of course, then you have the version used by Jordan179, where they are literally incarnations of various physical forces (Celestia's got Fusion. Of course. Gravity, though... That's the scary one), and she's actually an avatar of a higher-dimensional Lovecraftian ... thing ... that has become fascinated with those little creatures over there...
There's also the interesting idea put forward by the author of Friendship is Sufficently Advanced (who I'm fairly sure is the author of the actual Eldraeverse writing fanfiction of his own stories; if so, that's pretty darn cool) that Equestria is a really large planet that's been terraformed, and the sun is actually a weird-arse sun/satellite about the size of the moon. They also seem to have advanced technological systems ("vector control") that allow the satellites to be controlled. (I'll add that the eldrae in question gets a surprise when Luna zips in at 100Gs of acceleration, and proceeds to hold a conversation across a vacuum AND a language barrier, simply because the RCV is hilariously OP. It is also hinted that whoever made the eldrae actually took them from Equestria, and that they just rediscovered their parent planet.)

Yes indeed, 'tis I.
Spoiler to be revealed much later, but for the impatient or those not reading FiSA: it's one end of a cunning wormhole device that ships sun-ness from, well, the system's actual sun.
If I was sent to an alien world, I'd try to earn some money by writing children's books. Sure, adult literature pays more & reference works would be more useful, but children's books are all that I remember well enough to recreate without ANY references, 100% from memory.
I could recreate Fox in Sox or Green Eggs and Ham
Don't think that I could recreate any of the Harry Potter books, for instance.
Darn sure that I couldn't recreate The Wealth of Nations or Sigmund Freud's work
& Yet nobody tries what would seem blindingly obvious to me?
Maybe I'm just weird.
If i was not a fan knowing of all this stuff i think that guy was surprising good coping with all this stuff.
Immediately thought of...

This bitch is no goddess!

WHo is it and where is he from? I know many characters and universes but never seen this guy before. Anime of some kind?
9565982
honestly tho? relatable. i'd make money via all the songs i can remember
I simply can't resist not commenting on this, Celestia is not a goddess she is not even close to being one, she doesn't even have any planetary feats and the only reason she is able to move the sun is because of her connection to it.
She is not going to hit you with a sun. When you are reading the last 5th book, you realise this is foreshadowing.

The character is Escanor from the anime and manga “The Seven Deadly Sins”.

And that doesn't make her a goddess how exactly?
Any being that can cause instant extinction of everything is a god/dess in my book.
10472505
I agree. Celestia is more like the ancient greek or egyptian gods. Also lets not forget that not all gods and goddesses are powerful. for example Hestia greek goddes of the hearth was nowhere near as powerful as the other gods. Also i just realised how long this is my appologies.
I think I've noticed a warhammer reference on this reread.
Yet... I mean it could still happen, just don't mention her weight
does getting sat on count?
The God Emperor of Mankind
Warhammer 40k
Nice

The ultimate hell.
So... Why build space travel if you can move sun and planet to the next colony
I find this hilarious in retrospect, considering that not only will he have to revise this particular statement down the line (shrines? cults? hah!), but also the whole thing about godhood in general (considering that he'll end up being one of 'em).

I would assume that (since they're tied to their celestial bodies and not general "space movers") this wouldn't be possible - but if it were, I'd still be worried about fucking the next colony up through severely affecting its own orbit by, for example, dumping a second gravitational influence (like, Equus) right next to it.
Just because you (potentially) can, doesn't always mean that you should.
Though a story like that would probably be hilarious (and morbid...).
10954827
They have yet for make an alicorn that has the talent for moving the planet. Everyone look out for a pony named captain planet!
Celestia will not hit Blank Page with the sun, unless he would be deserving it.
Do not mess with capital 'G' sun goddess Blank Page, unless she ask for it 🤘

Still laughing at that joke. Nice 👍
I guess without being a isekai fan (displaced to another world/universe) or in the know of this one...
Coping would be indeed hard.
Though panic never helps and is only a burden that needs removing. Fear is fine, panic is keeping the mind from focus on rational thinking.
