I sat there, staring into the night sky, lost in thoughts once again, only to be interrupted by my mum, who had sent me a message on WhatsApp. A reminder that I still had tasks left to do.
I got up from the patch of grass where I had spent the past hour of my afternoon, and got inside.
I did my tasks and got outside to retrieve to check if any letters came in late, I nearly missed it but there was indeed a letter or rather a scroll, I wonder who uses scrolls this day but who am I to judge.
I quickly rushed inside again to get in front of the oven to get warm again, and to not catch a cold. While I did this I looked for whom the letter actually is and I was rather surprised to joust see my name written on it in it in a fancy old style handwriting.
At first I didn't notice but after a second look I noticed my online nick ´Rainbow Scratch´ and not my real name (it was rather late for my defense). I first thought of a prank from one of my friends but I know for a fact that no one is able for such fancy writing.
While carefully breaking the wax seal I noticed a slight tickling sensation in my hands but didn't lost a second thought about it. I opened the letter completely while getting in front of my computer to read the letter:
Hello Rainbow Scratch,
I am writing you in a last effort to save my people from a mistake in which you could help preventing it. I know you may have a lot of questions but I can´t go into much details with this. If you refuse to help I could understand, but I promise that I don’t mean you any harm. Please understand that you carry a big power within you. If you take my request, pack everything you need and focus on the crystal which should be attached at the bottom of this writing. You will get everything following explained after that.
Friendly regards
A Friend
I just sat there and stared at the letter just completely stunned. When my brain could give error outputs it would give me: Error 404 brain not found at least this is how I felt right now.
After a good while of sitting at my computer desk, I just didn´t gave a fuck anymore and headed to bed to give me time to think. As usual I turned my phone on and searched for some music to sleep to, I ended up with PonyvilleFM with a drop zone session. I fell asleep rather quickly, not only because of the letter but because of lack of sleep from the previous nights too.
---------- Next Morning ----------
I woke up slept out and feeling good, which was quite odd because I never sleep really good. On the other hand I don't mind it much it is nice to be fully awake for a change.
After my normal 5 minutes in bed I got up to get ready for the day. After a light breakfast I read the letter again. And this time I noticed that I didn't opened it completely; I blame it to the lack of sleep yesterday to be honest.
After reading the letter for some time, again and again, looking for some hidden clues or anything like that. I turned my PC on to get a short break. I opened Youtube and quickly found the Dropzone part from PonyvilleFM from yesterday.
I rolled up the scroll just to be greeted by the most brain melting sights I have ever seen, a thumb big gem just somehow staying on the paper. I could turn the paper like I want it didn´t fall of, only as I was about to grab the gem the connection or whatever hold the gem on the paper disappeared and it fell right into my hand.
I stood there thinking if I should go for it or not.
After some thinking I decided to go for it and began to get my things together, my common sense joust cried no, but I was just way to curious to let this opportunity pass. I packed clothes, emergency food, a water filter, my medicine against ADD, my smartphone with headphones and stuff, and my computer packed in a little metal box (self-build for easy transportation) and managed to get my Xbox one in there too.
After packing other stuff (A knife for self-defense for example) I found my drive with some technical stuff on it, for example how solar panels and engines work as well as computer stuff and well basically everything I might need as a trainee to an electrician, to fix my computer itself, general weapon blueprints and way more technical and mechanical stuff. The last thing I did was writing a letter to my mum telling her that I will go see a friend and that she should not worry about me.
After I finished the letter I put the scroll in my backpack and get the gem from my table and sat down on the metal box with the technical stuff in it. How the hell should I “focus” on the gem, I guess staring at it isn´t meant since I have done that before I sighed frustrated and closed my right hand. I started thinking again what was meant with Focus on the gem, but I found it out in the same second as the last thing I notice is that the gem and with it my whole fist and arm began to vibrate and before I could react in any way I Blacked out completely…
---------- P.O.V. The Friend ----------
I had watched him for quite some time now, 5 years to be exact since his father died during an operation on the heart to get a bypass. He was 13 back then, now he is 18 and he matured really quickly.
Now he lies here, sleeping after he got knocked out by a magical blast. I have to admit I knew he had a strong magical power, but I never suspected that he would be this strong, and when my magical scans are right it´s only about half of his power .
After about half an hour he woke up, a bit panicked but otherwise he looked Ok. After his first small panic attack, he calmed himself down and stood up. He was about 1.70 Meter tall, slightly overweight, blonde – brown hair and grey eyes with a hint of blue.
---------- P.O.V. Rainbow Scratch ----------
I woke up, sore in my entire body. Whatever just happened, it felt like I was on fire.
After I opened my eyes, panic overtook me for a few seconds before I was able to control myself too look around me. The first thing I noticed was that everything was white no details just white everywhere.
I slowly turned around and looked at the strangest sight I have ever seen, An Anthropomorphic pony. After I was able to gather myself a second time I looked again and stared for like 2 seconds before I realized why I know her, she was the mother of Luna and Celestia and know under Bronies as Queen Galaxia. She is wearing a white dress and some jewelry. Her breasts were about double D or so, I am not experienced with such stuff. Her mane and tail colors were beginning with orange and ended in a dark purple, she also had wings and a horn. Her horn along with her wings getting orange to the tips. [Picture here]
Trying not to be rude I introduced myself under my real life name and under my online Nickname Rainbow Scratch, it was also the name which was written on the scroll.
She greeted me with a soft and calming voice, similar to the voice of Celestia:” Hello Rainbow Scratch, it is very good to see that you have decided to at least listen to what my problem is. My Name is Queen Galaxia, mother of two Childs Named Luna and Celestia. It is nice to meet you”
“I am honored to meet you Queen GalaxIa. Now one quick question, what is this place?” I noticed that she looked a little bit nervous.
“This place is known under my kind as the all-knowing library it may not fit perfectly but describes it well. And before you interrupt I would like to explain first. “She paused short and looked at me to look if I understand her, which I quickly confirmed with a Nod. “Alright where to begin…”
---------- Sometime later ----------
Galaxia:” Do you have another question or is everything clear?”
I just sat where I was and count together what the situation was at the moment. It looks like the world of my little Pony is, in fact, another planet in this universe. With a few different details of course. The place where I am at the moment is something like a second “floor” to the universe where all knowledge of every sapient creature goes. When I understand it right only magical creatures can sense it if they have the power for that. She also explained that in the void (that what I call it for now) the source of the magic of every magical creature is. In fact every living creature can gain magical powers, but for us (humans) it is very hard to access and use it because we don't have a natural focus point like ponies have. A good example of use of magic (even if it isn't really possible for humans to proof it) is the show my little Pony and Lauren Faust. She must have gained short access to the void while thinking for ideas and got some of the adventures of the main six.
The reason she chose me to help with her problem is that I have a strong magical potential which got unlocked to a certain level because I got teleported here. If she is right I developed the strong potential after the death of my father 5 years ago.
The problem her kind has right now is that they never were interested in technology because they have their magic. What she wants from me is, that she sends me back to the past (however she want to do that) and help her kind to stay in race with the other races in term of technology.
I asked one question which seems off to me:” why is it a problem that your kind don't have a high interest in technology?”
“Like I said there are other races which are on an even higher tech level than humans are now. And I know that they are planning a war against Equestria. We don't stand a chance against them.” she looked very concerned as she said that
“So you ask me to travel to an unknown society on an unknown planet and get them to like technology in like 70 - 80 years?” I wasn't entirely sure how i should archive that.
“Wait, Your kind only lives so short? I thought humans live as long as us which are about 500 years.” while she said that her nearly perfect mask dropped, to shows not only surprise but also a little bit of shock.
“No, we live round about 100 years.” I said while she put her unreadable pokerface back on.
“Well that’s an unforeseen problem...” She is just sitting there obviously thinking for a solid minute after she spoke again.
“Well I have a solution which would solve this problem but it would require a big price on your side.” her ears folded to her head
“What would that be?” Now I am really concerned.
“I could turn you into one of my kind and grant you a long live, but I am not sure what would be the result. I would guess a unicorn but with your power I am not sure…. it is also a spell which was never tried before so it could backfire REALLY bad.” She somehow managed to look even more concerned.
“What are the downsides to turn into a Pony?” I was still interested but now a little bit scared too.
“It can eventually hurt during the transformation. And in worst case you can turn into an Alicorn. It wouldn't be bad for helping us ponies but not everyone can stand being immortal. On the other hand, you can turn back into a human when you turn into a unicorn or an alicorn after some training. but you have to hide your mane because it will stay in the colours you get after the transformation” her eyes lit up in a spark of hope maybe because she hopes to get me on her side with the chance to turn back into a human.
Galaxia spoke to me once more “Before I forget, in order to bring the Everfree Forest to an normal the Demon known as the alpha of the Timberwolves has to be killed.” Okay now why does she gives me this information?! I will never understand women's /mares, whatever you prefer in this situation.
I was sitting there in front of an immortal being who claims to sleep but still talks to me like I met her on the street, I really don't want to request that, too much brainfuck for my taste.
I am not sure if I really want to do that I mean it does sounds nice but… I don't want to leave my family behind.
I finally asked some of the last questions, “If you send me to the past on your planet, how would I be able to go to the internet? I am sure it´s not possible to just send data over that distance, without it I am not really able to help you.”
“Leave that problem to me and your energy problem with your computer too.”
I hesitated, I was still not sure if this was right or wrong. “What time would you send me to? And what year would that be on earth?”
“Well I am not sending you back in time, to get to the details, that is not really possible, I would ´set´ Equis to the Moment where Luna got freed from the influence of Nightmare Night and your world would just go on as normal.”
“Well if I have my computer than I can Skype with my family it is more or less fine with me.”
“Then let’s not waste any time and start. I will put you to sleep to make it not as bad as it would be so don´t panic.”
I manage to mumble “ok” before I went to sleep again.
---------- P.O.V. Queen Galaxia ----------
He took it better than expected, I was almost certain that he would refuse after the age problem but he still wanted to do it.
I started the spell and just let it flow, my luck was that I don't have to use my own power so I don´t get magical exhausted. I was curious how this archived what it is for
since it is my first time with that spell.
After some time he slowly began to glow, I didn't notice it first but he grow brighter and brighter until I have to look away.
After about 10 minutes I was able to look again. Instead of the human there now lays a Unicorn. About 1,90m high, shows signs of a good build body, main color was a strong light blue which got dark blue to the hooves. As clothes he had a midnight blue shirt and short light blue pants. Beside him was a midnight blue Hoodie with a black vinyl with a rainbow flame ring around it on the back. It was his cutie mark, the hoodie has the typical enchantment for showing the mark of the owner.
I snapped out of my thoughts as he mumbled something.
---------- P.O.V. Rainbow ----------
I woke up again feeling like a piece of shit. Besides that I could tell that I was a good part bigger than before whatever Galaxia did to me. I mumbled something which I didn't understand myself because I was so quiet.
After some seconds I opened my eyes and slowly got back into my sitting position. It was kind of weird when you suddenly have hooves instead of feet, a tail, a horn, fur in general, a muzzle, wings.
I looked at myself closer. I am about 1.90m high, had a good build body, main fur color was a strong light blue which got dark blue to my hooves and hands, my primary feathers had the same color as my main fur, my secondary feathers were dark blue.
I extended my wings somehow and closed them again and I have to admit, it does feels weird to just be able to do that.
I noticed that Galaxia stared at me with a unreadable face, before my good judgement could jump in I just shot out a question:” How am I able to just use my wing just like that?”
“You may have gotten the knowledge from here, as well as some basic magic knowledge.”She said with a little grin.
I was about to ask why she think i can already do basic magic, I noticed that she looked behind me not at me. I turned around to see my stuff floating in an bluish aura which basically explained everything since Galaxias horn didn't glows.
I stopped myself for a second to gather myself, the fact that I have wings and a horn should have gotten to me earlier:” I am an Alicorn am I not?”
“Yes you are, but I have to admit you are quite big for our kind even for a male alicorn.” well that is one good thing at least it was quite nerve wracking to be too short for nearly every damn closet.
“Well I would like to talk more but I would like to get some sleep I feel like a piece of shit after the transformation.” I don't feel like a piece of shit but I was indeed tired.
“Well I can feel that we are running out of time so I´ll proceed to get you to your destination.” With that words she casted the spell to get me with my stuff to wherever she wanted me to appear.
‘this will do fine. Him as a alicorn with a fresh perspective will help with the other odds in this world’ with that the Spirit of Harmony continued with survey the land and prepare for the next Big event on the planet.
----------P.O.V. Rainbow Scratch----------
I appeared with a bright flash in the middle of what looks like an old guest bedroom. Nothing looks damaged on the first look. I admit a little bit cleaning would be in order but nothing to huge. Well enough looking, I still have to find out where i am.
After some time of exploring I found an old familiar looking organ and I instantly know where I was, it was the castle of the two sisters. Before I could think another thought I heard a faint voice talking about revenge and something about eternal night. Since I got nothing better to do I sneaked in the direction of the voice which was hard as fuck with hooves.
I Was In the throne room now and tried to take peek from behind a corner and struggled to stay upright due to some rubble under my hoofs.
After a couple of seconds none other than Nightmare night stepped into my view. As unlucky as I was I forget to pay attention for a second and stumbled.
-------- P.O.V. Nightmare ----------
I was about to leave the old throne room when I heard someone cursed silently. Without a second thought I teleported myself to a slightly different position and fired a simple ball out of pure mana to where I think the intruder is. I Teleported again across the throne room to a light blue unicorn stallion with a REALLY messy rainbow colored mane and a black jacket thing. I caught myself staring longer than I should. Shaking my head slightly to get it free of thoughts I began with my mission to bring eternal night.
---------- P.O.V. Rainbow ---------- ----- A few hours later-----
I opened my eyes while jumping on my feet, only to notice that Nightmare Night was gone. Before I could even think of one thing clear I heard hoof steps. Without wasting time I bolted away from the throne room, I was definitely not a fan of getting hit by another of these energy bolts.
After some time getting away from the Hoofsteps and taking random directions I somehow found my stuff after some time untouched and exactly how I left it. I sat down on the bed and dropped backwards into the bed ’well so much for a friendly arriving…’ Before I could relax I heard a boom or something and the room was bright as a day only to be dark again. After I was able to see something again, I could make out something going on in the throne room. I remember how the first episode of Season 1 ended but I do have to keep in mind that i am not in the show so i have to be careful about entering the throne room.
I got my stuff and went to the throne room… or attempted it at least. Before I was fully around the second corner I spotted princess Luna...and she spotted me. For my surprise she didn't looked surprised that someone other is walking in the corridors… but rather somewhat relieved that I am here.
I didn't paid any attention to my surroundings I was too deep in my thoughts, I didn't wanted to be spotted just now.
I jumped back a bit when Luna gently touched my shoulder to get my attention. I forced myself calm and prayed that my voice didn't give up on me now.
Luna talked first blushing a bit: ”I really hoped to find you...to thank you...” she didn't finished the sentence.
I noticed that Luna had trouble speaking and even cried a little bit so I did the only thing I could think off in this second, which was hugging and comforting her. I am not a fan of social stuff (which is a reason I just have a few friends) but i am always there for someone who needs a shoulder to cry out on.
I don't know how long I was crouching there with Luna crying on my shoulder while she grasps on my shoulder with no chance to get her off (I blame earth pony strength). After a few more seconds I noticed really close sounding hoofsteps and in the next second a calm and smooth sounding voice: ”I just hope you didn't harm her I just got her back!”
She was directly behind me and I could sense what she would do if I had so you could hear in my answer that i was deadly afraid: “I w-would not d-dream of it p-princess…”
The air started feeling normal again: “Calm down let's just get out of the Castle.” Just as she finished the sentence I heard a silent snoring from my shoulder. I looked to my left to see Luna sleeping on my shoulder…
Turning around I could see princess Celestia smiling softly at the sight of her little sister sleeping on my shoulder: “First off all, I am sorry that my sister is so clingy, her Mana is nearly empty and mine isn't as Full as normal so you are the next one where she can kick start her Mana reserves. I know it's much to want from you since I have no idea who you are but could you please carry my sister until she wakes up? She had a very hard day and needs the Mana.”
I don't really have a choice here she still have a very good grip on me so I just go with it, besides in a lookback it could have gone waay worse: “Sure why not, besides i don't really have a choice your sister sure had a good grip on me.” I Changed my grip on her so I could carry her as long as she sleeps and started walking after princess Celestia.
---------- 2 hours later ---------
After two hours of Questions fired at me which I tried to dodge at best as I could. I snapped back to attention because of a small short pain in my head and noticed that we arrived at the edge of Ponyville. The Sun on Luna's face woke her fully up so I gently set her down. I swear she has somehow grown a bit since she fell asleep in my arms. She didn't say a word at all and stayed close to me and Celestia but keeps throwing a quick look at me when she thinks i am not looking.
After a while awhile she approached me looking a bit guilty:” Sorry for the slight headache. When I woke up I think i panicked that I am alone again and searched for the next living thing I could find. I also found out that you are definitely not from this planet based on the fact that your inner magical core is still untouched and not used at all. I hope you are not too mad.”
Based on her look and the fact that she is about to cry is enough to forgive her:” No problem I fully understand why you did it, besides we can't really start a friendship if I am mad at you?” I have not much experience with making friend, or to be completely honest none at all because my BFF found me, I have no idea at all to approach this further and hoped She accepts my friendship. She could use some friends after all. Especially when we can help each other out in an world more or less new for both of us. I think the tackle hug from her means yes...
I still wonder what she wanted to thank me for, she didn't mentioned a word of the reason jet. I haven't done much except being thrown here and getting knocked out after being too stupid to stand.
I nearly bumped into Pinkie Pie who somehow appeared right in front of me and Luna and asked me in a typical Pinkie pie style nearly too fast to understand:” What is your twos favorite kind of cake?”
I and Luna shot in an nearly perfect synchronization:“ Chocolate Strawberry!”
I looked to my right to see Celestia with an slightly open mouth and huge eyes. Well i guess I just found out her favorite kind of cake as well, which also means that pinkie has to bake a bit more than usual.
I manage to get Pinkies attention to whisper to her that she needs to bake more cake than usual.
Pinkie Just replied.” I know that silly! Everypony knows about Celestia's Cake obsession, even the reader.”
I replied REALLY confused:” Whatever…” while Pinkie just bounced away happily.
---------- Ponyville Town Square ---------
I DO have to say the ponies can be quite if they want to. In one second the Town Square was empty the next a big surprise party was up and running. I slowly walked to the snack bar and got a piece of cake and searched myself a nice spot a little bit away from the crowd but still near enough to hear the music. Since they are mainly busy with Luna I was lucky that i can get away easy.
After a beautiful sunset and a couple of minutes stargazing and daydreaming I feel someone slightly touching my shoulder. I open one eye to see Luna sitting next to me slightly shivering in the night. While I get up I asked:” Everything alright?”
I began to get out of my Hoodie while she answers:” yes, I just wanted to get a little silence you are just lucky you got away without someone noticing.”
I offered her my hoodie:” I can clearly see that your cold so if you want you can put mine on i'll be fine.”
Luna spoke after putting my new Hoodie on:” As I was trying before I wanted to thank you. Without your little ´accident` with Nightmare this all would have been ended much worse. Due to her short moment of distraction from you I managed to slip a little bit from her suppressive spells off and constantly annoy and distract her while she tried to get her plan done.”
I didn´t answered and she didn't seem to mind that i didn't.
She looked at me short after an hour of stargazing and asked in an slight unsure voice:” Do you mind if we cuddle up a bit? I'm still feeling a bit cold.”
Well her luck that I Love cuddling (a little problem when you remember the fact that I hate social interactions) so the answer was crystal clear:” Yeah sure, I don't mind a bit cuddling.” I crossed my legs to let her sit somewhat comfortable, the next second I found Luna sitting on my legs leaning back on my chest. I could feel a weird sensation almost like slight pulling towards Luna.
----------P.O.V. Luna----------
I am laying with my head against the chest of an unknown unicorn stallion and it feels weird but a good weird. I also noticed A slight pulling sensation towards him besides his magical aura ,but i can't say if his aura active or passive, which calms you down. This may have been the reason my Sister put her trust in him so fast.
I nearly jumped as i felt a pair of wings close in front of my whole chest which created a warm air pillow under his wings, the primaries have the same colour as the stallion behind me, what does catch my eyes are his secondary feathers which are coloured midnight blue. Before i could register anything more he asked me: ”Feeling warmer?”
I blushed heavily in this moment and thanked for my night which covers the fact that I blushed madly:”Yes, I do a bit. What is your name by the way? I can't recall to have heard it until this point.”
----------P.O.V. Rainbow Scratch----------
I put my wings around her without a second thought to keep her warm. I realised just after I put my wings around her that it may be considered inappropriate for a stranger to do that. Well it is too late now anyways so I asked: “Feeling warmer?” I got an immediate response: “Yes, I do a bit. What is your name by the way? I can't recall to have it heard until this point.”
‘I think I messed that one up… she was asleep when I introduced myself to the rest of the little group… so I guess I should introduce myself’ “Well, my names is Rainbow Scratch but feel free to shorten it up a bit if you want.”
I got another Hoodie out of my bag and put it on, it's not that i'm cold but better safe than sorry. “Well we should head back it's still a party for us and i hope to get another piece of cake before Celestia eats everything.” She lets out a long yawn: ”and head back to our homes…”
I didn't notice that Luna looked at me with a concerned look before she spoke up again: “You do have a bed somewhere safe...right?”
She got me unexpected there:”Well not exactly”
she cut my word off:” Say no more i'll get everything ready and talk to my sister, I still owe you for your help and no is not an option.” Well that was fast.
Well the walk to the party was very quiet but that changed as soon as we walked back and into town.” Well let's work on getting you a bed for the night, shall we? I can't let my first friend let off without a proper bed.”
l have no chance to complain, she literally half levitated half dragged me along in the direction of Celestia. The fact that she is wearing my (way oversized) Hoodie does not make it better.
I got her attention and convinced her to not levitate me to Celestia but not got her to let my hand go. This resulted in me getting dragged across town so Luna can talk to her Sister. still wondering why i have to come with her tho.
Luna didn't lost time and cut straight to the point:”Do we have a spare guest room free for a long period of time or do we have one of those boring meeting going on in near future?”
Celestia looked at me with a questioning look which i answer with a voiceless answer ´she was feeling cold.´ So after switching some looks, Celestia answers and judging by Lunas look not in a way she hoped:” We have some `Nobles` from other cities staying in the guest rooms who came to celebrate the Summer Sun Celebration with friends and family along with making a few business appointment so every single room is occupied.”
Luna didn't answered for a moment which i used to whisper something to her:” Give her a hint to my current situation or something, I wanna clear things about my reason being here anyway before something bite me back in my ass.”
Luna looked at me with an ‘are you crazy’ look and replied:”Are you sure you don’t want to just make up a backstory to fit this world? I’m not sure how Tia would react to you being from another world and stuff.”
I shot Luna a short ‘not here’ look while she continued the talk with her sister:” I think we’ll find a solution to this problem somehow.”
Celestia addressed me right after Luna finished her sentence:” I don’t mean to be rude but do you even come from our country a unicorn stallion your size would have come to my attention earlier. And don’t even try to dodge my question like you did during our walk back from the castle.”
Well that one is gonna be hard to answer without letting other know what up with me:” Well it is a little bit more complicated than that your highness but i would love to explain it in as much details as i can.”
“So be it Sir Rainbow Scratch.”
I cut Celestia in her sentence:” please don’t sir me or anything I am not old neither do i posses the title.”
I throw a quick look to Luna and noticed that she was yawning. I looked at Celestia for a second and we both made the silent agreement to head to Canterlot. While Celestia went to get Twilight for heading back to Canterlot I have to fight real hard to not let my inner Fanboy out. While Princess Celestia approached Twilight she seems to notice that something is wrong and asked her why she looks so down:” Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?”
Twilight answered still a little sad:” That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them.”
Princess Celestia just addressed Spike:” Spike, take a note, please.
I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville.”
Twilight hugged Celestia and thanked her:” Oh thank you, Princess Celestia! I'll study harder than ever before.”
While Twilight walked towards the Golden Oak Library to get some sleep, Celestia, Luna and me walked towards a Chariot with a safety gate at the back and two pegasus guards to pull the Chariot to head to Canterlot and to be honest now that I start to calm down i started to get a bit sleepy to I am probably up for like 16 hours already so good thing i have a sleeping spot which isn’t a pile of leaves or a field bed, and trust me a small couch is still more comfortable than a field bed.
---------- 10 Minutes later ----------
Celestis addresses me out of the blue:”before you worry about your stuff I already arranged that it is brought to Luna's Room, everything beyond that is to be handled by my beloved sister.”
Luna didn't seem to notice Celestia's asking look so I lightly and discreetly nudged her so she looks towards her sister:” Yeah I got it covered don't worry sis!”
Celestia looked like that answer is enough for her but I know this kind of answer so I sat down besides her and asked quietly:” You don’t have anything planned do you?”
Luna immediately replied:”No, I want to look how my room looks like first and then decide, besides I am Royalty so I'll find something somehow anyways.”
During the silence that followed I had an endless internal conflict whether I should blow everything and be honest from the beginning or if I should hide the truth, I decided to be honest from the beginning and not only because I am dealing with the former elements of harmony but also too keep trouble in the future off of me. After some moments of searching the right words, I addressed Luna and Celestia:” I would like to speak with the two of you once we arrived regarding where I am from.”
I made a quick breath break in which Celestia cut in:”Good to know that I don't have to set Twilight on your tail to find out where you are from. I have a very good memory and someone outstanding as you would has definitely remained in my memory. But enough of that I'll know soon enough what you have to tell us.”
Celestia holds on for a second before she continued with one last question:”would you really like to do this this evening or would you rather like tomorrow morning?”
My first thought was `I would rather not do it at all` my answer was still:” This evening is better otherwise i might not get sleep at all from worrying too much…”
Celestia looked at me funny and muttered:”surely it can't be THAT unexpected…”
...you have NO idea Celestia.
---------- 20 Minutes later ----------
I was awoken by Luna Cuddling in my chest again. Not that this is bad bad but I think it's very weird so I just straight up asked Celestia about it and startled her apparently:”Do you know why your Sister is still cuddly? And sorry for startling you.”
Celestia doesn't have the answer right away and answered slowly:” I guess she has one of the first warning signs of heavy magical exhaustion which is increased affection weirdly enough but it is not that heavy normally…”
Celestia's thoughts drifted off towards the end causing her to not finish the sentence. After a while she addressed me again: ”Do you know what a thaumic aura is?”
I in return just stared at her and at least managed to say:” uhh...what?”
Too deep lost in my thoughts ‘I have no idea about magic so the explanation is going to be interesting’. while I tried to sort my thoughts Celestia tried to explain me what a thaumic aura is like she would have any other unicorn with a normal magical education. “Celestia no offence but I have no experience in magic at all so you have to easy it up for me…”
Celestia seems to think for a second before she begun again while she pulled a feather out of her wing with her magic and keeps it levitating besides her:” Alright i’ll try but we will get to the no magic part later! So you see how the feather has a faint yellow shimmer while i levitate it?”
I nodded “ You can Imagine a thaumic aura similar to this the only difference is that the you can't see the aura like you can see it around the feather.”
She levitated the feather towards me and let it drop into my hand “ Some Ponies can actively ‘switch’ their aura on and off. I for Example can let ponies feel uneasy around myself if needed. Twilight on the other hand has a passive aura which allows her and those around her to regenerate mana faster than usual. The effects of auras can range from affect emotions like me to faster mana regeneration like Twilight. I think that you may have an aura effect yourself but i am not sure what the effect it is you have,we could check that here thought.”
During her explanation I could feel that my ADS is coming through again:”Umm...you don't have anything with sugar in it with you do you? And if we can check what kind of aura I have than feel free to do so.”
Ok let me first cast the spell to check but give me a couple of seconds I haven't casted this one for a while and after that we can enjoy a Cake together.”
Short before Celestia casted the spell the Chariot touched the ground and the guards announced that we have landed at Canterlot Castle and Celestia spoke up:”Well let's do the spell later. And stick with me for now you don't exactly look like a guest I would have.”
---------- P.O.V Celestia ----------
‘well let's look if I am still able to Cast the spell’ before I could cast the spell however I was interrupted by a guard announcing that we successfully landed ’That was fast’ “Well let's do the spell later. And stick with me for now you don't exactly look like a guest I would have.” With that words I began to lead my sister, who woke up during the landing of the Chariot, and Rainbow Scratch to my private office to discuss whatever Rainbow wanted to tell us.
----------P.O.V Rainbow Scratch----------
---In Celestias office---
During the short walk we came across various guestrooms, the Bibliothek, the Kitchen, and Luna's Bedroom next to Celestia before we reached her office. ‘Well let's get to business’ “anyone Tea besides me?”
Luna looked at me expecting me to answer first:” What Kind of Tea do you have?”
Celestia take a deep breath ‘uhm I hope she doesn't counts every single one they have here’ Celestia looked at me short:” Well I would guess Citrus tea with 3 sugar cubes?”
‘she is good’ “Uhm...yes spot on.”
Luna looked at me short and said:”I'll have the same.”
After Celestia ordered the Tea from a maid she asked me:” You wanted to tell us something?”
I am tense like I Was never before:” Celestia can you cast a spell which confirms that i don't lie?”
