Family Reunion
I’m sitting at my desk, staring at a picture of a person I don’t know how to feel about. It’s been seventeen years since he disappeared. Almost eighteen now, since it's close to the new year. He was the same age as me when it happened, and apparently, me and him have a lot in common; at least that’s what Mom says. From the way we act, to the things we like. Even had a similar sense of humor. I guess it’s to be expected though, considering we both come from the same parents.
I sigh. “Just who were you…” I whisper to myself.
I’ve always wanted to meet him. Or rather, wish he’d been here the whole time. Being an only child isn’t fun. Some might say otherwise, but it’s how I feel. As nice as that sounds, it would be kind of awkward for someone to show up at our door, claiming to be my long lost brother. Mom and Dad have pretty much given up hope that he’ll come back, that he’s either dead, or living his life somewhere else.
I sigh and look over at the clock, and upon noticing it's a little past eleven P.M., I get up and throw on my winter clothes and brush my hair, preparing to go out. I’ve sorta made it a thing to go out to the forest where he went missing whenever I get to thinking about him. Maybe it gives me closure, or maybe I just like the atmosphere… who knows. I keep thinking maybe one day I’ll see his ghost or something.
After gathering my things, sneaking out of the house is a simple task, it’s not hard to be quiet. After that, I start walking towards the forest, listening to some calming piano music, and admiring the christmas decorations that are still on. Never been the best idea to walk around at night, especially as a fourteen year old girl, but that’s never stopped me.
Probably not the best idea to mess with a girl who knows how to defend herself either. When I was younger, Dad was still holding onto hope that Jace would come back one day; That maybe he was kidnapped, thrown into some underground slave trade or something. Dad wanted to make sure that never happened to me, so he signed me up for Systema. Very interesting martial arts. Couple that with having a karambit, I’m not afraid to put someone down. I’ve definitely put people in the hospital to say the least. I haven’t killed anyone, and maybe knowing as much as I do is a bit over the top but still. Can’t be too careful these days.
Thankfully I make it to the forest without incident. My parents always want me to avoid this place at all costs, but I just can’t help myself. It’s calming, and very pretty. Especially in the snow. Or maybe I just like to act out… that’s what Dad says anyways. Thinks I do it for attention or something.
I simply walk through the forest just watching the snow collect on the ground for at least an hour. A bit longer than I usually walk for, but I just don’t feel like stopping yet. I haven’t been this far before, and I know it stretches on for miles, but the path is all the same. After a while longer, I notice a faint light coming from off the path up ahead. My curiosity piqued, I walk towards it, hand on the handle of my knife just in case.
My curiosity morphs to that of confusion upon seeing the source of the light. Floating above a frozen lake, is a small violet ball. But, it's glowing, brightly at that; and nothing is holding it up. I walk a full circle around the lake, and still don’t see anything that could explain what I’m looking at. Pausing my music and putting away my earbuds, I notice a soft hum reverberating through the air, seemingly coming from the ball itself. I don’t feel any sort of pull towards it, but I’m really curious about it. I pull out my phone and take a couple pictures of it from different angles, then pocket it and sit down at the edge of the lake, staring at it and admiring it for a while.
Now, you know that random thought in your head, and you just think, ‘excuse me’? Like, when you’re washing the dishes, and you’re cleaning the big knife, out of nowhere you just think, ‘stab yourself’? Obviously, you have no intention of doing it, but the thought crosses your mind from out of nowhere. That’s what I’m getting here. I know I shouldn’t touch it, but I wanna.
“...I’m gonna touch the butt…”
I get up, and start slowly and carefully making my way across the iced over lake. It’s dry, and seems solid enough, so I keep on going. The humming gets louder as I approach it, and strangely enough, I start to hear whispers. It’s impossible to discern what they’re saying, and of course this sets off all kinds of red flags in my head, but I’m already this close. Might as well see it through.
When I get close enough, I reach out and snatch it, and my vision goes completely violet, and all I hear is white noise. On top of that, there’s now an indescribable pain in my right eye, and my entire body feels numb. All I can do is try to control my breathing, failing miserably due to constant involuntary convulsions all over my body.
Eventually it stops, and I slam my left eye open, my right eye in too much pain to try and open, and notice a few things right off the bat. One, I’m falling, from the sky it seems. Two, it’s day time. Three, the surrounding area looks completely different from anything I’ve ever seen, almost fantasy like; there's even what looks like a castle on the side of a mountain really close. And four, I’m approaching the ground. Fast.
That last thing got to me a bit later than it should have, and I close my eyes and start screaming. I can barely even hear myself screaming over the wind whipping past my face. ‘I DON’T WANNA DIE!’ I internally scream, crying and cursing that stupid ball and cursing myself for being so stupid as to touch it.
I suddenly feel something slam into me from behind. Looking down, I see a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. Before I have time to look behind me, my vision goes black for a split second, and next thing I know, I find myself on what looks to be a stone walkway, leading up to that castle I saw a moment ago. I stop my screaming, tears still streaming down my face, I check myself over and let out a shaky laugh.
“Heh...heheh….hahah….hahaha! I’m alive!”
I rub away the pain in my eye from having blinked all the way and back, once with another person; which, need I remind you, hurts like a bitch. When I heard the screaming, a human falling from the sky was the last thing I expected. Knowing from experience myself that humans can’t fly, I quickly reacted, not wanting to lose the only chance at meeting another of my kind I’d likely ever get.
After wiping away the blood the best I can, making a mental note to remember to get a rag for just that purpose, I take a closer look at the human I just saved. A girl with long black hair, a snow covered night blue winter coat, a bright red scarf hanging loosely around her neck, a black pants underneath a skirt, and winter boots. She’s on her knees right now, laughing hysterically, likely happy to still be alive.
Out of curiosity, I examine her with my Left Eye, but what I read causes my eyes to widen.
’Kaia Ingram Soto, Sister; Bearer of the Right Eye.’
My breath hitches in my throat, and I stare at the girl wide eyed.
Unfortunately, the sound of that causes her to stop her laughing, turn and look in my direction.
Sister? But I don’t have a sister! I was an only child! and what's that about a Right Eye?!
Her eye that she has open, the left one I note, goes wide as well, and she stares at me for a moment. She then stands up and starts walking closer to me. “J-Jace? Is that really you?”
I’m left speechless, unable to respond, only staring at the word ‘sister’ floating by her name. Jace? That was my name...
She seems to stop and take a step back. “But… you disappeared… seventeen years ago. How could it… be you? But you look exactly the same as you did in the pictures… and what’s up with your eye…?”
Finally finding my voice, I clear my throat and speak, not daring to take my eyes off her. “That’s one hell of a story…”

You should rename this chapter "it came out of nowhere" because the is exactly where this sister plot point came from. I mean seriously bro this wasn't even hinted at all in this story lol.
Me, I'd've poked it with a stick.
Well that's *one* way to introduce background to the MC.
Interesting, nonetheless. Absolutely no idea where you'll go with this one. Uh, good luck?
Huh, no, I can say with full certainty that I didn't see this coming. I'm a bit curious to see how you have things play out with Kaia, ya know, with her being in a slightly better starting position than her brother was. It should be interesting to see how she takes being in a new world populated by brightly colored talking ponies. Also, they really are alike... neither one of them could resist poking the suspiciously floating purple ball. They both have the personality of Steve Irwin. "This here is the black mamba, one of the deadliest snakes in the world. One bite from this beauty and I'm a gonner. I'm gonna poke it with a stick! Ah! She's angry, she's angry!"

I'm pretty sure the only thing that could count as a hint is that there is a left eye , so why not the right eye?
So why not have sibling have the right eye?
Like yin and yang
But in general, it isn't a good hint because for it to be a good hint,it would need other hints to make it better.
Alone it's just "what if?"
For example a similar one would be , if there are 6 infinity gems ,why not 7 or 12?
It's a complementary,rational thoughts process,generally us wanting to make something a pair or a whole
I wonder what powers the eye has
What were the left eye's powers again, minus the info hud and teleporting?
Was there an element, like time or space?
Then I could theorize
10568671
I was thinking Eye in the Sky.
The
Giant Space FleaDimensionally Displaced Sister from Out of Nowhere.I wonder what chaos this girl will bring and what her eye does now.
I am also wondering if she'll be turned to stone like her elder brother out of paranoia.
Uh oh, sisters
This came out of nowhere. I hope the writer has a plan for where this is going...
10568699
I guess?
Bro do you remember those 7th element fimfiction stories lol.
10568729
Ok that is a far more creative title for this chapter lol.
Everyone is worrying about right eye, Left eye. What about the poor parents back in our dimension. This is the second child that just up and disappeared. Once was bad enough. Twice in a row! I don't I could hack that, it's hard enough to read, God forbid live through.
Welcome back. At least Null... or Jace won’t be alone anymore.
I would probably have a reaction if I remembered what this story was about.
welcome player two, to be fair to null it had been 1,000 years since you last saw her. My memories not that good and not gong to hold Null to remembering everything not based on revenge.
10568780
yeah, that crossed my mind when writing and thinking this all out.
10568840
false, it was two thousand years ago, and at the time of his disappearance, he didn't have a sister.
10568833
fair
10568775
10568729
i agree. but, it is what it is now. or is it? i might change it. (assuming you're okay with that)
10568768
god those 7th element stories were... for the most part, a rehash of the same thing over and over again. they just do what everyone else has done cuz they think they can do it better, but only thing they do is make it a different mc and give up when they run out of cliches to build upon.
10568758
I'd like to think I have a plan for his sister. i have given it a fair bit of thought over these past few months, and even a few more than before the last couple chapters.
10568695
10568690
well, in Null's case, he had nothing better to do, as he was trapped in a cave in. alot of Null's "backstory" is covered in the previous story in this series, 1000 Years. alot of people seem to have skipped over it, and i admit it's a different style from this one, but it does give alot of context and shed alot of light on things that may not be obvious in this story. it's not REQUIRED to have read it to understand stuff here, but its highly recommended as you're simply missing certain details. (also you got a giggle out of me with that comment xbox432, congrats)
10568672
i agree, stick poking is fun.
10568671
i never really intended to hint at it, so i guess I did my job.
Nope.avi
10568880
see, proved my point about my ability to remember certain details about this story and you forget about the multi-verse. Sure this null doesn't have a sister however another Null who probably died when he went missing did have a sister.
The only reason I'm finding this not Sus is that Left eye. Doesn't seem the type to lie about something like this unless her eye can counter Null's eye.
So long a wait and so very little happens
10568918
the left eye isn't sentient, so it can't "lie", period. plus, whats there to be sus about? its legit his sister, most of the chapter was from her perspective and she clearly didn't intend for anything. no, its not a multiverse thing, its a time dilation thing. x years on earth is y years in equestria sorta deal. so no, it is HIS sister, from HIS parents, from HIS world. no multiverse. the multiverse is such a mess and bullshit excuse for alot of things that I don't, and alot of others, don't include it.
10568936
thanks for clearing this up for me.
10568931
sorry about that. I always feel guilty for stuff like that, but eh... not much I can say really... it just is what it is. no real excuse for it, it just is.
I can't help but think of their parents
ouch
Sadly that tragedy has happened to real families.
“...I’m gonna touch the butt…”
just keep swiming
So...once she learns what Jace/Null has been through she'll probably be just as pissed at Celestia as he is...
10568672
I can't believe she went right up to it.
Pretty small lake. A large pond maybe?
No, I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this, kudos! I'm curious to see where you're taking this.
10569098
And two pissed off cyclops are better than one. I wonder if she'll be an overprotective sister and wipe canterlot off the map.
10569158
Whamen, man
10568958
They'll probabaly come in the next 12 chapters, each having the Left Eyebrow and Right Eyebrow respectively.
Hopefully Kaia will start to straighten these ponies out.
Welp, I did not expect his sister to be transported. I’m also glad we don’t have to go through the process of them being separated before they meet. It’s fine if someone does that but darn it, I don’t like the anticipation lmao
Jesus, can you imagine how devastating this os gonna be for the parents?! They lost both of their children, one at was it sixteen? And the other at fourteen! Hope you've got a plan for that or this will end up really depressing.
10569098
Yep now they will be scared of the magic eyes siblings
Null at least had some good memories with Luna.
Now Null won't have to be worried that he will be left alone if he will fight Celestia.
10569557
actually, both kids were fourteen at the time of their disappearance. as for a plan for the parents, sorry to say that I got nothing for that. its sad, and yes certain characters and people will be upset about it, but realistically, I can't do anything about it.
10569067
thank you, someone got it lol.
10569183
probably? a relatively decent sized body of water. plus, i never said how long it took her to do the lap around, so...
10569404
congratu-fuckin-lations, you got me laughing out loud.
10569235
better question, is who will be over protective of who?
10569564
who knows what kind of things this will trigger in the ponies?
stage 1 set next stage 2 madness and this little sister will most likely freak out a bit but most likely a awe wtf kinda freak out
10569638
Well, I suppose you can throw a couple more artifacts in their direction...
So every 1000 or so years in Equestria is about nine years on Earth. Neat.
10568775
Glad you enjoyed it. I like punny chapter and story names.
Ya better better be not trying to run off again...
10569772
2000 actually, remember null spent 1000 entirely out of it bc of luna's banishment
10570148
No, it is 1000:9, He has spent 2000 odd years in Equestria and it’s been about 18 years on Earth, 2000/18=1000/9. The time he was non-conscious is still included as the worlds were still moving forward in time.
10570157
hm, this math appears to be math. it also seems to be correct.
10570217
Unless you changed the dates it should be both.
10570220
First rule of Temporal Mechanics whether it be time travel or just the differences between worlds: Don't even try to make sense of it if you want to avoid a headache.
10570356
I just get relative time advancement, inter-dimensional timing is weird.
10570378
She basically traveled through a warp in time and space to another world and reality. Not only should she feel lucky to have survived, she also is lucky to arrive AFTER he did.
