Present day
After the pancakes were eaten, and the plates handled, thanks to a cleaning spell. The story telling continued.
"So, who is ready to continue the story?" i asked the six ponies around me, each with different states of bliss showing on their faces.
"I think we all are darling, but that syrup was absolutely divine, where did you get it?" Rarity asked, able to hide the bliss pretty good.
"Made it myself while locked away in my mind by the glorious sunbutt"
"Wait, you made this?" Dash asked.
"Yes, using my magic, what you think it came from somewhere else?" i asked, shooting her a smile, which i guess she knew what meant, considering how her face turned red.
"Stop messing with her head" Applejack said, in a somewhat annoyed tone, also blushing a bit.
"But it's so fun, how can i NOT mess with her head?" i asked with a smile.
"How about we focus on the story, instead of messing with each others psyche?" Twilight asked, looking a bit annoyed, for some unknown reason.
"Okay, okay, time to get back to the matter at hand" i said, making a king piece from chess appear.
Equestria, 19 years before Luna's banishment. (1019 years ago)
"So this is your bedroom?" i asked, looking around at the midnight blue room around me.
"Yes it is, here we can relax without being in the watchful eye of my sister" Luna said, as she dropped onto her bed
"So other rooms are under her watch or?" i asked, curious about the sentence.
"She is monitoring the other rooms in the castle yes, not all of them, but most of them"
"But why do that? does she not trust other ponies?"
"She did once, but i am not sure when she stopped trusting her loyal subjects"
"Interesting, this might be why this place feels so unwelcoming"
"Well enough talk about that subject for now, want me to show you your room?"
"Can i not stay here? don't like the idea of a pony i have never met before spying on me"
"I don't know, i just met you" Luna said with a coy smile.
"I'd rather you spy on me, that anyone else" i said, giving her a coy smile as well, as we both broke out laughing.
"We have not laughed as much in years, maybe we should hire you to keep us happy, and raise the happiness of our visitors" she said, making a small dunce hat, and putting it on my head.
"Would be my pleasure m'lady" i smilled, as i bowed, thinking i was a jester, and suddenly being in a full jester costume.
"You surely look the part" she said, now laughing again.
"I sure do, and now i know how my magic works, i think" i smiled, as i imagined my normal clothes, and they faded into view on my body.
"Interesting, but can you make flames?" Luna asked, as she made flames come out of her horn.
"I think so, but stand back, this might turn bad" as i imagined a 3 foot jet flame coming out of my hands, and suddenly noting my hands getting far too hot for comfort.
"Impressive, i did not know a creature such as yourself could do this." A royal sounding voice said from the door.
"Sister have i not told you to knock? and did you not receive the message i gave the guards about the meeting being delayed?" Luna asked, sounding a bit mad.
"I did, but decided i wanted to at least see this creature" as she suddenly looked towards me, i felt really small. Mostly due to my magic making me shrink out of fear.
"uhm.. hi there?" i said, slowly forcing myself back into my original size, trying not to look scared, but still sounding a bit scared. something about her was just off, but now i met Princess Celestia. A meeting i would have wanted a day later than it actually happened.
"Hello there, fear not, i am not going to hurt you" she said, as she slowly moved closer to me, and before i knew it, i was next to Luna, having teleported.
"Sister, do you not think it is wise to heed the feelings of others? he is obviously scared of you" Luna said, as she noticed i was not next to her, slowly shrinking again.
"I do, but i still wanted to at least see what he looked like, my curiosity spiked when i was told he was an unknown species" she said, as she changed course, towards Luna, and me.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god"
Luna looked towards me, seeing me in panic, and her sister drawing closer. Looking like fly caught in the light of a bug zapper.
"Sister that is enough!" Luna said, as she made a shield around me and her, turning to comfort me. "Cant' you see he is scared to death of you!" she shouted at Celestia.
Finally Celestia seemed to stop her advance, out of the trance like state she had been in since she arrived. Finally looking like someone with her own mind again, as her ears dropped, as if realizing she did something wrong.
"I am sorry, i do not know what came over me" she said in a low voice, slowly baking away towards the door.
"Fear not, i will protect you" Luna whispered as she watched her sister leave, closing the door as she left.
"I suddenly feel like i want to shift my meeting with her a few days instead of one"
"I can understand why, i do not know what came over her, this is very unlike her" Luna said, as the shield disappeared, and she kept comforting me.
"Thank you Luna" i said, taking her into a hug, just holding onto her, mentally beginning to make her my rock, the solid point in this world.
"Think nothing of it, for now, how about we get some sleep, i usually sleep during the day, hope it is okay with you" Luna said, as she began making her bed, using her magic.
"I am perfectly fine with it, so long as i am not too far away from you" i said, slowly letting go of her, and following her towards the bed.
"For now, just lay down with me, we can figure out something else later, for now, you look like you need the comfort"
"Yes, thank you Luna" i said, as i laid down next to her.
"Think nothing of it" she said, as she drifted off to sleep, and i soon followed.
7776644 well, i really have no explanation for why he has no reaction at all, maybe he had a mental breakdown after we left him for some time, i never really explained this too well, might go back to it later. but for now, yes, he just reacts like it's a normal day..
I wonder why Celestia is draining magic to keep her powers while Luna doesn't have to?
7778866 this might help a bit..
its not to "keep" her powers, its to boost them. the way i have it, the more power you have, the better the spells will be. so say a shield spell with a low power unicorn (about 1-7000 thom's) will be a pretty good shield, but one from an alicorn (12-25000 thom's) will withstand a nuke easily. see it this way, more power means a thicker object between you and the bullet, so to speak.
also, not spoiling or anything, but Celestia's power at the present time is at about 300-450000 thom's. a simple light spell will require 1 thom a minute, and your thom restoration is based on how much you use, and how much energy you have left when going to sleep. so technically you could eat a pound of sugar, and restore up to 25000 thom's in a night, but i highly recommend not doing so, as it will only help you if you can fall asleep, due to how the story is made, and the logic i made for it. also, you cannot restore more thom's than your magic system can handle. and all ponies, have thom's, but they are used differently for each species.
Hope this answers your question, as well as helps explain the magic power system a bit better. might do a Q&A if people ask more questions about the story :)
7780152 This does help thank you but just to make sure I understand your magic power system; the more powerful the entity, the more magic thoms their power is worth, meaning their spells turn out better?
So what are the thoms for creatures like Changelings, Breezies, Dragons, Windegos, Griffons, Discord, and Tirek, etc. I'd imagine that it would be almost zero for races like Donkeys or Yaks as they don't really use magic.
7780920 pretty much yes. although ALL creatures have thom's, but some species never use them. and yes, more thom's equal more potential power, if you can harness it all. In my little universe, donkey's COULD use magic, if they learnt how to channel it, birds could too, but all creatures who don't really use magic, have a very low count of thom's to begin with. along the lines of 25-125 thom's at best. but they can train themselves to get more thom's, up to a limit of about 1500 thom's, as they are not meant to use their magic. but it can again be boosted by doing what celestia will be doing later on(or shown later on, she has done it for quite some time at this point) but this is also up to a certain point, which i have yet to make, as i am still toying with some ideas.
so my universe is a bit different than others, but it will all make sense at some point. stay currious about all this, keeps me going to make more facts, i have to squeeze in the story at some point :)
I think tiny human is best human
7794024 i had a feeling some would like the idea, just hope i can keep up the good work, luckily, once this week ends i will have two weeks of vacation, and i will actually have time to write on the story this time, unlike the other time i said i had vacation, and my schedule suddenly getting filled with helping family move.. oh god, did i just jinx it?
7794263
Please don't.
7794313 i sure hope i did not jinx it.. only plan so far is sunday(part of an Arma 3 clan, Response Force Tempest as Alpha-3) and obviously new year and christmas, but other than that, no plans as of yet, other than an optional plan to help someone with an IT problem, but that can wait till next year :P(only this month that joke can be pulled, and not get an angry look out of people)
no matter what, i will be adding, at least one more chapter, more if i can of course. but my minimum is one chapter written and published. i'm aiming for 4 chapters completed during these two weeks.
