Chapter 2: Lingering Past

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

It was now the sixth month after The Forgotten Crisis, and in that time, Twilight Sparkle had befriended Guardian. It was at first, very awkward with her first meeting. She couldn't help but see the Overlord in him. But with time the tension faded and Twilight had grown to like the deity. He wasn't like some royal stiff, but had an adventurous and humorous personality. Eventually, Guardian was introduced to the rest of her friends, each of them slowly forgetting about The Overlord.
It was about the fifth month that he was known through all of Equestria. Guardian was traveling around the planet, making his presence known throughout the world.
The day came when Guardian was to cross the border out of Equestria, and he promised his students to show them what lay outside their kingdom.

-----------------------------------

Guardian, Luna, and Celestia stood in a clearing facing a range of hills. Beyond the hills were the lands beyond Equestria. As soon as they went over the hill they would be in a completely new land. They were all excited, none of them knew what awaited across the border.

"What do you think the culture would be like?" Asked Luna.

"I have no idea. I've never even looked past Equestria." Replied Guardian.

Their job was to find any civilization that might be there, and form an alliance with them, of possible. They all glanced at each other, and started forwards up the hill. The anticipation was rising in their chests. They reached them top of the hill and almost cried out at the sight before them.
The land was completely flat and the ground was blackened and charred. Guardian desperately reached into the flow of magic, but there was none. Magic flowed through everything, in life, in the ground, even in the air, but where the grass ended and became barren dirt was also where Guardian couldn't feel the magic. He went farther, expanded his mind to the magic, but it stopped at about a hundred miles. It just stopped, like an imaginary wall had been erected, surrounding this wasteland.


"I don't understand..." Celestia whispered in disbelief. Also shouldn't the eastern ocean be here?

Luna however, was trying to focus on something in the distance. Guardian followed her gaze and saw what looked to be a structure of some kind. Celestia had also spotted the strange speck in the distance.
Guardian closed his organic eye, and used his robotic one to zoom in on the object.
It was a structure indeed, four stone pillars sat around a circular pit in the stone floor. That was all there was, no walls or anything just those pillars and the pit. But Guardian recognized this structure and knew it's purpose all too well.

"Send a message to every major city in Equestria calling the leaders for a meeting in Canterlot immediately."

His serious tone alarmed the sisters, Guardian was obviously frightened by whatever he saw out in the wasteland.

Celestia looked at him with worry in her eyes, "What is it, what's out there?"

"That structure is a portal to another world, a hostile one. Equestria is about to be invaded, we need to prepare for war."

Author's Notes:

Jumping right into the plot seems to be a habit of mine.

Alright I admit this isn't the best chapter ever written but I promise to improve my skills in the future.
