When one being crashes into equestria. The main six must learn and potentially stop this new being
When monsters come along and disrupt the balance of harmony. The elements are there. Nothing has ever been able to withstand the strength of the elements. Not Discord. Not Chrysalis nor Nightmare Moon. But what happens when one being crashes into Equestria after dying. Having his memory partially ripped from him doing so. What happens when this being can kill just by being in the mere presence of others. Will this person find redemption with the new residence or throw a second chance away. Follow the main six as they try to apprehensively discover and learn new things from this new creature. But will what they discover be the means to they're end. Or salvation.
Nothing. No light. No sound. No feeling. Not even a hint of real thoughts traveled through the head of the being flying through utter darkness. Perhaps flying is the wrong way to describe it. Floating perhaps. Travelling at the speed of sound. No. Speed has no meaning here. The being itself didn't know, nor did it really want to know what was going on. All it knew was that it had just been killed. And rather harshly too. Sliced by the sword of a foe. It died in battle though. Perhaps that means it received honor. Bravery. Was this being actually doing the right thing before it died. It wouldn't know. The being tried to sigh. But no air came out. Suddenly it realized that it could feel something. A slight tugging sensation coming from what must be below. It grew. Stronger and stronger and stronger and before it knew it, the darkness around the being shattered into thousands of tiny peace’s and disappeared. The being, who could now be distinguished as male, glanced around the vast sky he fell through. He couldn't recognize anything. That and it was night time.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and relaxed. He knew that the fall wouldn't hurt him so he just let gravity do his job for him. As he fell, he reflected upon his defeat. He was strong. That's for sure. One of the strongest out there. So how was he defeated by a captain? He didn't really care but he wondered. Could they really be that strong? Or perhaps it was the fact that he didn't have the reaction times to allow him to actually use his immense power to his own benefit. He fell for a little longer before noticing the ground speeding towards him. A large dark green mass. He didn't have to blink before it was upon him and he found himself plunging into the grass, causing an almighty blast and crater. He didn't move a single muscle but lay there. Wondering to himself, just how is it he was able to feel or smell and see the world around him when really. He should be dead. He should be in the deepest parts of hell. That is if there is a hell. Maybe this was actually it. Maybe this was all just a blind attempt at fake comfort before the dogs of hell got him and dragged him to his cage. Let them try. He'd put up a fight and make it hard for them. He smirked before tilting his head to get a better look at his surroundings. His exact landing point was in the middle of some forest. Nothing compared what he had seen. He thought about sitting up for a moment but brushed it off. He was to tired to even move just now.
Across the other side of the forest, one purple pony was sitting in her room with a book and was in utter silence. The only hint of life was her eyes scanning through the book at a practiced page and the dark magenta glow of her magic turning the page every now and again. She was, for you see, Twilight Sparkle. Known throughout Equestria. And as of this moment. She was waiting. Waiting for her assistant to return from Rarity's.
“ When will he learn.” She chuckled to herself. She wanted what was best for the dragon but she knew that Rarity wouldn't have any of what Spike was hinting at. She liked her reputation to much to tarnish it. Although she did think that with enough asking and repetition, she would give up. She shook her head and continued with her book but not before looking outside her window. She smiled while looking at the moon and remembered that it was with her help, the rightful owner was painting the sky and raising the moon every night. She gazed for a moment but a faint flicker of light caught her eye. She squinted before it burst into light.
“ A shooting star.” She gasped before snapping her eyes shut to wish for something. What she didn't notice was the so called star, getting bigger before suddenly landing in the everfree forest. Twilight opened her eyes to see the star gone and she smiled at her wish. Hoping for it to come true.
-------------------------------------------------
Back in the forest.
The man was now in a sitting position and was deep in thought. Pondering over his peculiar surroundings. No hounds of hell had gotten him yet so perhaps there was no point in waiting for it to maybe happen. He stood up and rubbed his head. He couldn't think of anything immediately before his death and general knowledge. But from what he knew, when you die, you forcibly forget your life in the from the living. But does that apply for him. He wasn't living. But neither was he completely dead. His soul was still alive, or what was left of it after turning into a hollow. And it was destroyed. Perhaps it was only a mild version of memory erase that hit him. He knew who he was. He knew how he got here and who sent him here. But it stopped there. After that there was nothing. But for some odd reason, that didn't seam to bother him.
He shook his head before finally heaving himself up to a standing position. He stood at an average height and was a little bit thinner than average. He took four steps forwards and each one made him rise about half a foot as he exited the crater. Nothing seamed to be off or wrong as he gazed around him again. Looking through the trees for any signs of life. Finding nothing, he decided to use what little memory of his powers he had to find out. The man closed his eyes and concentrated. Allowing his spiritual sense to rocket out on all sides scanning for life. He immediately flinched as he found a large volume of life. Over a large area of course. His sense sprinted out further until he found a hot spot. A hub with more life than anywhere else in the area had. He turned to look at this said place and started walking through the forest. He looked from left to right and found nothing as he walked. He didn't even know what the life exactly was coming from this place. All he knew was that it was life.
He walked for what seamed like beyond that of time before finally, he spotted light through the trees. He saw that not only was it light, but lights from that of lit rooms within windows. He then found more reason to get there and sped up his pace. Suddenly the forest died and completely gave way to lush green grass. The man stopped dead and turned, looking down the straight line of difference from the grass and the forest. It was like someone just took a sword and sliced the forest. There was no transition between forest and grass. Just one then two. He turned back to where the light was coming from and relaxed at the sight of a town.
“ At least some form of civilized life lives here.” He spoke to no one. He noted that he traveled past a cottage while heading to the village. Sadly no lights were on so he couldn't go there. But it was then that another thought struck his head. Should he just trudge to any old door and ask for information or should he wait until tomorrow so as to see what actually lives here. There was no doubt that it must be like him if there were handles that looked to be meant for hands. But their spiritual pressure, what little they had anyway was off. Just a little. The difference left hand and right hand. Both the same but one is more familiar than the other. He continued his walk and found the town to be quite quaint. Small but not desolate. It had character. He walked past some houses and came to what must be the main square within the town. He could see a clock tower reading eleven past midday. Spun round and saw something like a town hall, fountain and more houses. Down some of the loose streets, he could see a treehouse and to the left of direction in which he came, a rather large farm. The man meant to take a step forward but stopped completely when he felt a small flutter in his senses. He knew this would be it. The first encounter with these people. He would be nice and not hurt any of them. He didn't really care. He slowly turned his head to the right and saw something heading towards him. His eyes widened and he took an involuntary step back. This thing giving out the minuscule pressure was, what appeared to be an equine of some sort. It hadn't saw him yet but he could see the red coat and shockingly blue hair. The pony was walking alone and wasn't looking at him but at the houses. But the inevitable happened. The pony turned and spotted him. It came to a grand halt and its gargantuan eyes widened. The man could here her easily as she spoke.
“ m..m... MONSTER!!!” It all but shrieked and sprinted in the opposite directing yelling . The houses on either side came to life instantly as their doors opened and more ponies came following. Suddenly the once very quite town was now very awake. Every single equine came out and eventually found the man. They looked at him as he looked right back. They eventually snapped and reacted the same way as the first equine. The man didn't have to think twice before heading back the way he came from and getting as far away from the mass chaos that he had apparently started. He walked and the running equines parted and vanished from his path. He put some pace into his walk and in half the time it took to enter, he was at the edge of town. He could see the sanctuary of the forest he came out of and relaxed. But sadly, he never would get to his destination because a voice stopped him.
“ Hey you!” It yelled. Suddenly his vision was filled with a cyan coloured equine. The equine wasn't happy according to its face. That much was evident. “ You think you can come here and cause all this and just leave. Scare everypony and just up and away. I think not bub.” It raised its hooves and circled them as if it was prepared to fight him. The man sighed in annoyance. He knew how to use his spiritual pressure for sense and for three other things. The equine didn't see it coming. The sudden sky rocket in pressure and weight causing it to slam to the ground. Completely unable to fight. In reality this was but a fraction of what he could really do but the man judged the equines accordingly and used little to none of his spiritual pressure. He didn't want to kill it but just cause it to become immobile. The man didn't speak as he walked around the equine and back into the forest. Heading back to his large crater.
Rainbow Dash couldn't move a muscle. She couldn't even find the strength to open her eyes as they slammed shut. What the hay was happening to her. She felt like at some point she was going to become a mushy pulp on the ground with the volume of force pushing her down. But suddenly as it came, it vanished. Gone. Nothing. Rainbow shot into the air out of reflex. For a moment she just floated in mid air. Enjoying the sensation of feeling completely her own weight again. She did this for three seconds before spinning round, Hell-bent on facing the creature again. But it wasn't there. She couldn't see it. Not a trace
“ What in equestria was that.” She whispered before suddenly remembering where she was. She spun round and rocketed towards the one pony who could possibly know something about this. Twilight Sparkle.
So? good start? I'm not entirely sure yet but I hope so.
“ What in equestria was that.” She whispered before suddenly remembering where she was. She spun round and rocketed towards the one pony who could possibly know something about this. Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight was, using the term very loosely. A normal pony. Not average by any standards but a normal pony nonetheless. She was at the moment reading again. As per usual. She didn't expect anything to happen today of all days. She wondered though how her friends were doing.
She knew they were all busy tonight and she wouldn't bother them if she could help it. She flicked her hair out of her eyes and continued with 'an examination of ionic magic'. In truth she knew nearly everything from the book already but there was a very little amount in it which she didn't know. One of which being the difference between light and dark magic. Twilight smiled as she closed the book at the chapter title 'The darkness'. She knew she was forbidden to study that type of magic until she was taught it thoroughly by Celestia.
She had however, tried to use it on two occasions. One being opening the stairs in the crystal castle and one being her first attempt to open King Sombra's door. She remembered getting the feeling of light headedness. As if she was slowly about to faint by using it. When she asked Celestia about it, she only got a simple don't use it again until I teach you. Some part of her hungered to know just exactly what it was that was making her like that. But if the knowledge of dark magic is anything to go by, she might have been headed towards corruption. And that was not on her list. Twilight levitated the book and rose to its place in the book case and placed it back. She was about to pull out another one before an ear splitting scream shocked from doing that.
“ m..m... MONSTER!!!” Twilight zoomed over to the nearest window and saw ponies from every house coming out to investigate. The purple unicorn scanned the darkness outside as to see who shrieked and found one of the residents standing in front of something. She couldn't see it clearly and it was shrouded in the darkness but it was bigger than any pony. She snapped back round and sprinted to her book case.
“ Come on come on. Where is it.” She panicked as searched through many books. She only took a little under a minute before finally. “ Aha! Found you.” She took a large book simply titled 'Magic' and high tailed it to the door. She only opened before suddenly something crashed straight into her knocking Twilight back into the library. “ Twilight! Twilight. There's something out there!” Yelled Rainbow. Twilight shook her dizziness and peered out the still open door and she couldn't see anything.
“ Calm down Rainbow. Tell me what happen-”
“ No time. We have to go get the others then find this thing”
“ But rainbow.”
“ I mean I need to teach it a lesson.”
“ Rainbow.”
“ After all I'm the fastest pony in Equestria-”
“ Rainbow!” yelled Twilight. Rainbow Dash looked a her. “ Now first tell me what happened.” She asked. Rainbow nodded and dropped out the air standing in front of her.
“ I don't know exactly. I mean I just heard the screams and flew in and found this thing there. I don't know what it was doing but I had to try and stop whatever it was so I got in front of it and, well yeah I did that and that's when it happened. I felt like I weighed triple, no quadruple my weight. I couldn't open my eyes they were so heavy. But then it vanished. I got up and saw it heading into the everfree.”
Twilight listened and nodded. She became particularly interested about the weight but stopped herself from asking. She was actually starting to feel pretty scared. Twilight took a moment to compose herself before saying.
“ Right. You get Applejack and Fluttershy and I'll get Rarity and Pinkie pie.”
“ On it.” Rainbow replied before zooming out the library, a rainbow contrail in her wake. Twilight waited for a moment before igniting her horn and she vanished in a bright purple flash.
The man stood aside his crater. Wondering just what exactly happened back there. He had many ideas but he didn't want to be presumptuous. So instead he ignored whatever it was his mind was telling him. Instead he focused on the life forms here.
Regardless of If they could be civil or not, he knew one thing. He was going to stick out easily unless he found a way to hide. Perhaps he could manipulate himself. He knew that his strength and spirit energy could produce physical objects at will and in what shape or form he desired. But would he be able to change himself. In all honesty, he didn't know if he'd ever changed himself in his last life. He couldn't remember. But if he had done so, then that means this would be so much easier.
The man concentrated for a moment. Remembering the shape and form of the equines back in the town. Suddenly a burst of blue light appeared in front of him and floating there was the shape of an equine. The man studied it and wondered if he could indeed change into it.
“ I wonder.” He muttered to himself. The equine he had made had a pale blue coat and a dark blue mane. He would have it a different colour but with it being created by him, it meant it would be the colour of his energy. Hence the nearly all blue equine.
“ Right. So If I use a disguise like this, then I can find out what exactly what's going on without causing mayhem.” He didn't think it would hurt him. After all it was his spiritual energy he was using. But he only knew four things he could do with it. He could cause the pressure to increase around him, sense things over large distances, suppress his energy and finally he could possibly manipulate himself. He thought for a moment longer and decided against it for the meantime. He didn't want to damage himself beyond repair and he certainly didn't want to possibly kill himself even further. If that was even possible.
“ I'll just, wait a little longer and use you if I have nothing else left.” The man said before the energy in front of him forming the equine, dissipated and disappear. The man turned and headed for a near mountain that loomed over the forest, picking up his pace. He saw small glints of light coming from said mountain and thought it better to be there than anywhere else.
The elements were gathered at the town square and were discussing what exactly happened. Rainbow Dash was all for charging after whatever it was. Applejack was a little more reasoned than that and wanted to try and talk to it. Twilight wanted to go in and try and talk to it too.
“ What do you girls think?” She asked Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity.
“ Twilight I do believe that this thing might be dangerous. Perhaps we should leave it to the professions.” Said Rarity with a huff.
“ Oh yes, I think it would be good to let the royal guard do it I think. Unless you want to go. I'm sorry.” Whispered Fluttershy. Pinkie pie didn't say anything for once but just bounced on the spot looking towards the forest.
“ Now Y'all are bein' foals. I'm sure we might b' able to reason with the thing.” Applejack tried. Twilight nodded at her side.
“ She's right girls. I mean if what you said is anything to go by Rainbow, then its not the creature I'm scared for but the animals in everfree. We have to find it.”
Rarity pawed the ground for a moment. “ Must we go tonight! Can we search for it tomorrow when its daytime instead?” All the girls looked at the forest after that. The darkness made it all the more worse and knowing that, that thing was in there. Nopony would dare enter it. Twilight sighed in defeat and turned back to the group.
“ Rarity's right. Maybe we should just do it tomorrow when we can actually see what's in front of us.” Muttered Twilight.
“ Probably the best thing yah said jus now.” Seconded Applejack. Rarity frowned at her for a moment and turned away, heading to her home. However the slight stumble in her trot as she flicked her eyes around just encase the creature came back was not missed by the group.
“ Right. Fluttershy. Perhaps you should stay at the tree house instead of being so close to the forest.” Said Twilight. “ You too girls. I want us all ready early tomorrow morning.” She added pointing a hoof at Applejack, Pinkie and Rainbow. Pinkie intermediately grinned and was about to yell slumber party but stopped when Fluttershy complained about her animals being alone and that she should take care of them. Twilight tried to convince her otherwise but failed. Instead she sent both Rainbow and Applejack with her to the cottage and Pinkie retreated to her home.
Twilight felt all of the anxiety and fear hit her at that point. Having bottled up and hidden it just to be a strong face wasn't very good. She jumped straight back into her library and found Spike who had come home when all the commotion started. “ Spike.” She said smiling. Before she could say another word, spike picked up a quill and peace of parchment and grinned back at her. “ I'm just too good now.” “ Indeed you are. Now! Dear princess Celestia...”
The man walked nearly the entire night. Not stopping for anything. In fact he didn't even start to get tired. The small lights on the mountains where now large and numerous. More than that, there was what appeared to be a castle perched upon the side of it. Completely defying gravity.
" Huh. Now that's slightly weird." The man said while getting closer to the castle. He didn't really know if he would get into it very easily but he knew one thing. Nothing was going to stop him.
I'm guessing you can probably tell who it is by now. If not from the cover photo then hopefully by the attitude. Anyway, hope you like it so far.
" Huh. Now that's slightly weird." The man said while getting closer to the castle. He didn't really know if he would get into it very easily but he knew one thing. Nothing was going to stop him.
The man neared the castle. He could now see the surrounding city as well and could identify it as a small city. The man secretly prayed that there would something other than the equine creatures within for he did not know if he could withstand another barrage of chaos. He spared a glance to the dawn sky to his left, a complete mirror to the black night on the other. Day would be upon him soon enough. The man took a moment to stop and gaze at it. Marvel at the beauty sunrise could produce. He stood on the outskirts of the forest now. Unlike the last time he exited, this time it was a long transition from forest to clear valleys. He half didn't want to leave the forest. For you see he didn't really want to take the risk of having to encounter the equines again. He didn't really think too highly of them mind you but in all essence, he wanted to avoid another encounter.
The man stood. A gentle breeze blowing his hair slightly. His blue eyes never left the horizon visible through the trees.
“ I'll give my regards to nature I suppose.” He muttered as the first glimpse of the sun crept over the hills. He was about to move but stopped. “ What!” He managed to hiss before he lifted his right hand to block a gargantuan paw. This was closely followed by an ear shattering roar and the man turned to face his adversary. What he found made him hesitate. Standing not ten feet from him was a beast of some sort. It resembled an animal with a mane but it had a tail. A scorpion tail to be quite frank. Large and bulky, it looked to be quite the challenge.
“ What are you?” He wondered aloud before a thought struck him.
“ Can you converse like the equines?” He knew it was a long shot but it did occur to him that animals that should never talk had been taking only seven hours ago. Could this creature also wield intelligence. Sadly he was answered by another roar and an attempt to swipe his head off. The man again, lifted an arm and blocked the swipe before lazily pushing the thing back.
“ It would appear that you're just an animal.” He said before dodging another swipe. The animal jumped into the air and used its tail to try and stab the man but he lifted a hand and, as if to embarrass the creature, dropped all fingers except from two and stopped the tail dead.
“Therefore I have no hesitation in killing you.” He said. “ But for your benefit. I will humor you first.” The animal roared and executed all different kinds of attacks. All of which were blocked easily by the man. He smacked the creature away and held his arm in the air. The creature blotted up right and jumped towards him before biting down hard on the arm. The man didn't react but lazily tilted his head and looked at the creature.
“ Is that meant to harm me?” The tall creature asked with no real effort. The animal growled and struggled to put more effort into taking the man's arm off but found it couldn't. The man found himself growing bored and used his other hand to open the animals mouth before pushing into a nearby rock. The thing lifted its head and charged for another attack. The man sighed and started to dodge yet again. He actually lifted the creature and threw it into a tree at one point. The man found it quite amusing to watch the creature misjudge again and again before finally as if by a miracle, realize just what it had gotten itself into. He witnessed the creature literally wilt and lose its momentum in the fight. The creature leaned forward to take one last try but stopped.
“ Alright, I think that's enough.” The animal didn't move a muscle before suddenly it fell to the ground and became immobile instantly. Not only that but the man watched as the animal visibly flattened a little as if an invisible steam roller was working over it. He kept his iron gaze on the animal before finally he released and looked away. The animal did not move.
“ To be defeated by spirit energy alone.” He muttered to himself before turning back to what his eyes were previously gazing at.
The sun now lit the entirety of the castle and the surrounding city. He gave it props, it did look rather interesting. It didn't have any building design he was familiar with. The man started his walk again. Leaving the now very dead manticore. One thing the man noticed as he walked was all the creatures, big or small, now avoided him or ran in the complete opposite direction. He didn't mind this though because it meant that hopefully no more confrontations would arise before he hit the city. He let his shows drag as he walked, picking up dirt and carving out marks in the ground.
After another hour of walking, the forest was behind him and the main gates to whatever city it was lay ahead. So far there was no sign of anything other than equines. The guards at the door where equines and they adorned thick golden armour. Spears rested upon their shoulders and the stood still. They hadn't spotted him yet due to distance but once they did, he knew they would react similar to the first town. He walked but stopped and crouched when the doors opened and out stepped another two guards.
“ We'll take it from here.” One said. The original two nodded, passed on the spears and retreated into the city leaving the two new comers to take their place. The very small moment that passed when the gates where open, the man was able to get a quick glance into the city. What he saw made him through out any plan to just walk in. Equines. Ponies or horses. One of the two. Hundreds of them walking in every direction within the gates. It was fair to say that the man felt completely at an end. He didn't know what to do. For now he took refuge in sitting on his elevated position and just watching the gates while trying to decipher the riddle that was, how he would get in. Firstly he had to rethink his reasons for coming here. It was a city for starters and it could have the information he needs. It had the highest spirit density in-. The man stopped his thought process and instantly opened up his spiritual pressure senses. What he found stumped him.
Yes there was hundreds upon hundreds of average equines that didn't have a single grain of sand next to him. But two signatures within made him take a whole new look upon the situation. Two pressures that where far above anything else in the city. He actually wondered if they would be able get near his level at full strength but with the way the pressures were, he doubted it. Then another thought entered his mind. Maybe these two were like him and they had fallen into this place. Maybe they held the key to his salvation.
The man rose and looked down at the gates. He then let his eyes follow the surrounding wall all the way round the city until he spotted what could possibly be an opening for him. The wall came to a point where it traveled around a garden or meadow. There were next to none guards within that part and it seamed to be the closest to the palace. The man gave a glance back to the gate before he casually started walking around the city, keeping to the tree line. He only had to walk for several minutes before he was adjacent to the patch of grass land within. He slowly approached the wall while looking both ways for any sign of guards. On the outside there were none but he could sense at least three on the other side. The man came to the base of the wall and looked up it.
“ Well then. How do I climb you?” He pondered lazily. He really didn't want to exert himself but there was no other way. He gazed at the wall and found a crack that was a little above him. He made to jump for it but suddenly he found himself of the ground and above the wall. He didn't have time to think as he landed on the topside of the wall and slowly rose to a stand. What in the world had happened. He knew that the wall was at least half the height of a building and he just jumped upon it as if it were nothing more than a mere step.
“ I'll just pencil that in the number of things I can do. Five.” He spoke. The man mentally took note that he could jump astronomical heights with ease. The strange being stood for a second scanning the ground bellow. The small meadow consisted of shrubs, some trees and a large expanse of grass. He groaned a little before walking to the edge and stepping off. Now you'd be forgiven for thinking the man insane but you would be wrong. A moment after stepping off and traveling through the air, he hit the ground. There was a little shudder in the earth below his feet but nothing more. And more to the point, none of the thin number of guards here noticed his landing. He sensed that the two beings with higher than normal pressures were inside the castle. The man got low to the ground and stalked across the gardens, trying his best not to be spotted. He wasn't moving for long when he spotted a door leading in. And there were no guards around to spot him. He couldn't help but let the sides of his mouth tug slightly.
" This is just too easy." He muttered. But unfortunately, like all good things. It didn't last.
" HEY YOU!!" Yelled a guard. It came running up to him and only then did the guard truly witness what he had just came up to. " W.. what are y- GUARDS. I NEED MORE GUARDS!" The equine shrieked. Out of no where , several other equine guards came out and surrounded him. The man didn't move and merely twisted round every so often, eyeing the equines with amusement. They were scared. Beyond scared. Terrified. And so they should be.
" You picked the wrong house to come into animal." Another guard growled. The man said nothing and stood. He hadn't really noticed the first time he saw the equines but now he saw it clearly. Some had horns and another had wings and the rest had nothing. Not only that but one of the equines with a horn had it lit up a lime green color and next to said equine floated a spear laced in the same color as its horn. The man made note of this form of levitation and remained still. One of the guards, taking advantage of the creature doing nothing, turned to another.
" Get the princesses!" He ordered. The other guard nodded and sprinted into the castle. The guard that gave the order turned back to the creature. " You just stay there." The man didn't move again but just eyed all of them. Minutes past by and nothing happened. Only a small gentle breeze blew by, blowing a lock of hair into the mans face. He moved a hand-
" Stop!" A guard yelled moving his spear closer to him. The man stopped for a moment before continuing for the hair. " I SAID STOP!" The guard all but screamed. The man was slowly losing his patience with these creatures. He made one twitch of his hand and suddenly, out flew three spears from the surrounding guards. The man merely lifted his hand and with immeasurable speed, caught each one. He then gripped them and snapped the spears as if they were nothing but twigs. He made to move but stopped. His sense picked up the two spiritual pressures he was looking for moving. He couldn't lose them and had to act. Having lost his patience completely now, The man let some of his spirit energy out. The equines didn't see it coming and all of them simultaneously fell to the ground. The man was careful not to let too much out so as to not flatten the guards but just enough to render them useless.
The man watched with humor as the equines couldn't even fight back. Having done his job in fighting against them. If you could call it a fight, He started for the door. But again, his luck was foiled by the appearance of the guard ordered to leave. What made him stop and not flatten this equine were the two spirit energies he sensed on either side of it. And the two beings standing there. Both were equine but several times larger than the others. The man felt as if someone blew out the candle of hope in him. There was no way to get home now if it was these two he was sensing. He watched as the taller white one looked at the equines behind him and slowly back to the man. He noted the slight change in her serene face. Anger.
" Creature, you would enter my sister and I's castle. Kill several of my guards and -"
" Wait princess." Yelled out the small still standing guard. He was at the immobile guards side and saw their eyes moving and watching the confrontation. " They're still alive." The 'princess' glanced away from the man to the guards and sure enough, she saw the eyes of all of them flicking between herself and the creature. The princess looked back to the man and a small frown appeared again. So small that it was nearly completely irrelevant.
" You immobilize my guards-" Again the princess stopped as all her guards that were currently on the floor shot up and were taking deep breaths.
" Princess watch out ... he has some sort of power!" One said. The princess, now more curious about the creature, wiped her ever so little frown away and replaced it with a small smile.
" Perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way. Can I guess that you only wanted to get into the castle to, shall we say, see either my sister or I?" She received a nod. She relaxed a little at the creatures ability to communicate. " And you haven't killed any of my guard but you seem to have disallowed their free will and forced them to submit. I will ask you once and only once. Are you a threat?" She asked. The man slowly shook his head. The princess' smile grew wider. " Wonderful. Now my name is, Princess Celestia. This is my sister, Princess Luna. May I ask you of your name? That is if you can speak?"
The man staid put in silence. thinking about what to do. In the silence, the princess took a moment to look at the details of the creature. He worse a very nearly completely white uniform type of clothing. He had blue eyes and brown hair that fell to just bellow his ears. Around his neck he wore some sort of necklace. Only it seamed as if it were bone and the bottom half of an animals jaw at that. She flinched at that slightly. The man on the other hand was still wondering what to do. These two were no means of getting home. They were just figures of authority in this land. He half thought about sprinting out of the castle and leaving these creatures to their own business but that would mean endless days by himself. Maybe, just maybe these equines could be of help to him. The man came to a conclusion and took a breath to relax.
" Its Starrk. Coyote Starrk."
