Chapter 2: Capitol of Kols

Twilight knew she wasn't good at accepting what was right in front of her. After her arrival in the strange new world, waking to two very strange ponies, and followed them to their home. She had no idea why, but one thing was for sure is that something awful roamed in the night.

She walked close behind the two larger ponies. They were at least a foot taller than Celestia was. They laughed as they told stories of their lives in the new world, but didn't say why they arrived, or how they got to find her. The place was barren except the grass, and occasional fresh water lake, there was nothing.

"How did you find me?" Twilight finally asked after what seemed like two hours of not talking. "This world is so vast, empty, how could of you have found me?"

"Easy, pegasi can spot things easily from far away. Plus you stand out like a sore hoof." Delick replied. "You're freaking lavender!"

"Calm down Delick, she has the right to ask questions." Front Line said.

"Yeah, by the way, you never answered my question where you found me." She noted.

"You really want to know?" He asked. "When I said those laws of reality exist, but don't exist at the same time, the paradox itself created a beast that wipes out all existing matter when it touches it. You'll k n ow where it's been by looking for red grass."

"Hahaha, don't eat it by the way!" Delick said laughing. "Trust me, stuff gives you POWERFUL hallucinations that last for weeks. Once I was out for two whole months!"

"Then why are you laughing?" Twilight asked.

"Because," Front Line said. "That's him one week after waking up."

Twilight cracked a smile that went away after the moment passed.

"So when are are going to be there?" She asked.

"How about you stop looking to your sides and look at what's infront of you Twilly." Delick said pointing ahead.

Twilight did what she was told, and she stopped right in place in shock.

In all of the vast empty world she entered, she'd never expected to have a single building made of anything. But their capitol, it was massive, twice if not three times of Canterlot. Large marble towers rocketed up into the sky, buildings surrounded the large castle in the center. What amazed her even more were that some buildings floated in the air, tiny bridges made of marvelous colors shot from the ground up to the houses. Twilight even saw a couple of unicorns, or earth ponies walk on them.

Everything looked so amazing, her jaw hung open, and the two ponies infront of her laughed at her expression.

"Welcome, Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle, to Kols, the capitol of the world that never was." Front Line side, walking up to the gate.

"Halt!" Shouted a guard. "What business do you have here?"

Front Line looked over to Twilight, and instantly the guard shouted to open the gates.

"Open the gates! Open the gate! An alicorn has joined us!!!" She shouted. "Hurry now! Open the gates!"

Twilight walked up next to Front Line with Delick who smiled with pride. She looked as the gate was surrounded by a psychedelic rainbow of colors what swirled around each other, braking apart like glass shattering. A sharp sound rang in Twilight's ear which made her wince.

"What was that?" She asked, gibbering her ear gently. "My ears are ringing."

"That's the first of many steps in assimilating here." Delick said. "Come, I'm sure Lord Star Swirl will want to see you."

"Star Swirl?" Twilight asked. Could it be true? Twilight couldn't believe it, not in the slightest, but the more she thought about it, the more it bothered her. Yes, she always wanted to meet the most power unicorn in Equestrian History, but wasn't expecting him to still be alive after eight hundred years.

"Yeah, Star Swirl the bearded. He was the first to be banished here long ago." Front Line said. "Do you know him?"

"Know him?! I know almost everything about him!" Twilight spouted. "He died at 110 years old after trying to become immortal, however his body was never found. His cape hangs in Canterlot when it's his birthday, which was Auguest 13, 0235 S.E."

Front Line and Delick raised their eyebrows at Twilight in utter confusion plastered on to their faces. Twilight smiled as she tilted her head upwards.

"I had a class on him when I was in middle school." She said. "Got a hundred on the exam!" She pumped a hoof as she walked through the gates.

Front Line leaned near Delick. "Dibs, I called her."

Delick punched him in the face. "No way bro, she's so mine!"

Twilight snickered. "Come on guys, stop fighting, and let's go see if you're lying or not!"

"Fine..." They groaned heavily as they caught up to her.

The castle was more impressive close up, than from afar. The ponies around the town whispered excitedly as Twilight walked by them. It was as though to Twilight was the first alicorn they had seen. Deeper into the town more ponies stopped living just to watch her. Guards walked up next to Twilight, pushing Front Line, and Delick away.

"No," Twilight said harshly. "They stay with me, they're my guards."

"What!?" Delick shouted. "No wa-oooffff!"

"Don't you know the code!?" Front Line said. If a pony comes in from the royal line, they may choose their guards?"

"Yeah, 'three guards are given to protect the pony'." Delick recited. "Whatever..."

"Are you sure you want those two?" A unicorn asked as he walked up close to Twilight.

"Star Swirl!?"

The unicorn smiled. "Ah, hello Twilight." He said. "Yes, I know who you are, and what you've done all your life. Up to the point of your coordination as a princess. After that you dissappered from my sight. Your power shielded you from my gaze."

"We have so much to talk about! Oh my gosh!" Twilight said, jumping in place like her hyperactive friend.

"Calm down Twilight, you didn't miss much from my time. Let's go to my study with your...Erm..guards." He sighed as he saw the two ponies fight in the dirt. "I could lend you one of my trained guards."

Twilight laughed lightly, then gave a sigh, looking at the stallions. "They're more fun. Plus I like those guys. They saved me from that monster thing."

"As you wish princess Twilight."

"Just Twilight please..." She blushed.

"Fine then." He said with a smile. "I'll she you my lab. Plenty of things for your adventure."

"Whoh, hold up. I need to go on an adventure? No way!" Twilight said.

"I respect your choice Twilight, but once you see the future of Equestria, you'll see why you want to return."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Everypony you ever knew, met, or could of met would die."

"I need to see this!" Twilight urged, running up the stairs.
