"-and I request you to come to Ponyville to examine this newfound creature.
~Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Celestia finished reading aloud with a smile on her face and a growing sense of excitement.

"A new creature from the Everfree forest Tia? How exciting! And It wears armor! It might be intelligent!" Luna spoke quickly in excitement.

"Sister, I know how excited you are. But please, control yourself. It might be dangerous, it does wear armor." Celestia stated.

"Hm. You do have a point. But still, we should at least go and see it." Luna retorted.

"Who said we wouldn't?" Celestia grinned.

Luna got more excited when her sister smiled.

"Guards! Day court is canceled today! We are off on business!" Celestia ordered.

"Yes, your majesty!" All the guards in the room shouted in sync.

Celestia and Luna got up from their thrones and walked down a hallway.

"Sister, you don't seem as excited like before..." Luna said as she noticed Celestia's more serious expression.

"I'm excited, but I'm also concerned. What if this thing is hostile?"

"We will never know until we actually get there Tia," Luna said with a deadpan look and a monotone voice.

"Pfft, I know! I was just stating the possibility." Celestia retorted.

"If it is, I'm pretty sure it can't match the Princess of the Sun and The Princess of the moon, and the new Princess of friendship," Luna said proudly.

"Of course, and with the elements of harmony at our side, we can't be beaten. But let's hope it won't come to that dear sister." Celestia said with a returning smile.

Luna beamed. "I'm pretty sure it won't, and if it does we'll be ready for it."

They continued in silence after that, walking the quiet hallway until reaching their royal chariot.

The Royal Guards who were there saluted to their leaders involuntary. The princesses gave a warm smile as she climbed on to the chariot.

The guards got hooked up and were preparing to take off.

"We're to princesses?" One of the guards asked.

"We would like to go to Ponyville, we have some business to attend there," Celestia said in a calm manner.

"Yes princess!" Both guards said.

They took off and were heading to Ponyville.

[Twilight's Castle]

All the girls except Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash went home, either had to go do their jobs or had plans. Twilight was examining the new creature that they brought in to her castle. And it amazed her and made her terrified.

It amazed her by how much armor it had, and how dense it was. She had to be careful not to awaken the creature, but she wanted to learn more. And that sword, she didn't know what to do with it.

If she took it away, she could anger the creature if it woke up. But at the same time, she couldn't leave it armed with the princesses arriving shortly. She didn't know what to do.

She didn't trust this thing, it can't be armed. She could at least keep it in a place where she could easily hide it and get it if she needed.

She summoned her magical spell and teleported the sword away to her secret treasury. Now, how is she going to wake this thing? It has been asleep for about four hours. And it needs to wake up to greet the princesses.

"Spike? Spike!" Twilight called out.

"He went with Applejack to visit Applebloom Twilight, don't you remember?" Rainbow cocked an eyebrow.

"...Oh yeah, I was busy examining this creature. It's so fascinating!" Twilight beamed with curiosity as her eyes sparkled over the being.

"Um, don't you think it might wake up? And not know where it's at? Won't you think it might be defensive?" Fluttershy said quietly.

She's right, this thing is foreign, and it might want to know where it was.

"We can have the princesses ask its questions. They know more about this kind of thing than I do." Twilight frowned a little when she finished, she is still new to this princess thing.

"Twilight, don't worry, princess Celestia is nice to everyone! She wouldn't want to start trouble, she always resolves things the safer way." Fluttershy said quickly and confidently.

"I know." Twilight quietly said.

[Outside]

The Royal Chariot landed in front of the newest castle in Equestria. The royal sisters were greeted by ponies bowing to them. Celestia telepathically spoke to Luna.

Didn't we say that we wanted to be treated as equals? Celestia said.

Yes, many times. It's just our status. They do it even if we don't want them to Tia. Luna responded.

Celestia dropped the spell and loosened her wings.

"Rise my dear subjects," Celestia said in a motherly way.

All the nearby ponies rose and smiled at their leader.

One of these ponies came up to Celestia.

"Hello, princess! What brings you here to Ponyville?"

"I'm on business with Luna for Twilight," Celestia said with a smile.

"Oh ok! I was wondering why I haven't seen Twilight today."

The pony walked away, and eventually, all the other ponies did their greetings and did the same.

Celestia and Luna walked upon the massive crystal tree and knocked.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK "Twilight? We're here." Celestia called out.

The door opened and revealed Rainbow Dash.

"Oh, princesses! Come in! The creature moved finally!" Rainbow bolted back inside.

Celestia walked, although a little faster now, inside as Luna caught up with her.

They followed Rainbow as she stayed a little behind to direct them to the creatures staying.

When they reached the room, Rainbow landed on the ground.

"I thought you mostly fly Rainbow Dash?" Celestia asked curiously.

"Yeah I do but Twilight said if I was flying when the thing wakes up, I might scare it. So she told me to wait until it gets used to us." Rainbow explained.

They walked into the room the creature was staying in, and Luna had to hold back her excitement and eagerness for a second when she saw its armor.

"I...I knew it wore armor...but...that thick?" Luna sputtered out.

"Hm? Oh hi, princesses! How was your journey here?" Twilight said as she went to greet her former mentor.

"Boring mostly, but enough of that. What about this creature here?" Celestia pointed a hoof to the creature.

"Oh, right! Come here, I think it's about to wake up!" Twilight quickly went to the creature's side.

Celestia was more than eager to see this creature, Luna even more so.

Rainbow helped Fluttershy to walk over to the creature.

"Hey look! It's moving!" Fluttershy whispered.

[Remorel's head]

Well, isn't this interesting.

I seem to have been banished, but that raises the question. Why?

Hmm...Well, one thing is for sure. I can't go back to the realm. I'm forever casted aside. Now darkness in that realm has been forever forgiven, with no judgment.

That's another question, where am I now? I feel a powerful presence, granted its weaker than Selina but has some magnitude.

Actually, there's three of them. But, why are they so close?

And where's my sword? It's close but not...here.

Ok, resting time is over. Time to wake up.

[Back outside]

Celestia was getting way too eager, a new creature! How exciting! And it's waking up! Oh, how she hopes it's not hostile.

"Ugh, sni del melova" The creature spoke.

It sat up and stopped moving.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

"Ponies? Huh." It spoke in a deep, but calm voice.

Celestia flinched, the eye sockets were now glowing slightly white.

"haaaaaaaa..." Fluttershy squeaked.

The cre-...he just stared at all of the ponies. Doing the same, Celestia took the time to study him.

Even sitting he was at eye level with her, his wings shrunk back to behind his back. His upper body seemed more broad and bigger than the rest of his body. It looked as if he was literally made into a warrior.

"Hello, I'm princess Celestia, and this is my sister, princess Luna. Over here we have princess Twilight and Fluttershy and finally, Rainbow Dash." Celestia gestured to all of them.

"Do you understand?" Celestia asked the creature, he didn't respond.

Fluttershy hid behind Rainbow, Luna was becoming less excited and more defensive. Twilight was still her eager self and Celestia was just waiting for his response.

"Yes, and it seems like you seem decent enough to understand my speech too, correct?" He responded.

"Of course, at least we can understand each other. just don't say anything you would regret" Celestia grinned, but deep inside she was glaring at Remorel.

"Noted, my name is Remorel, now I would like to know where I am. " Remorel said calmly.

"Well, you're in the land of Equestria. Home of the ponies and me and my sister are the leaders." Celestia explained.

Remorel paused.

"Leaders? Care to explain?" Remorel asked.

"Well, I rule the day, I raise the sun. And Luna rules the night, and raises the moon."

"Wait, you both raise cosmic bodies?" Remorel pointed at Celestia and Luna.

Luna just stood proudly. "Yes, we raise the sun and the moon."

"Interesting..."

Remorel stood up fully, making Fluttershy whimper.

He was easily taller than Celestia, her horn only reaches the center chest plate.

Celestia was slightly surprised but was keeping a calm composure.

Remorel circled them both, inspecting them.

"Well, you're not lying. So that's good." Remorel went back to his original place on the couch, now back at eye level with Celestia.

"Why would we lie? We have no need too." Luna said with a slightly disgusted face.

"I have been around for almost 96,000,000 years. I have met plenty of liars." Remorel said with an ever so slightly sad tone.

Celestia's jaw dropped.

"You're immortal?" Celestia asked.

"I thought you would recognize the God of death," Remorel said with his monotone voice again.

Celestia froze. Then there was silence in the room.

"T-the God....of death!?" Fluttershy whimpered.

Remorel remained silent.

"Your Death? Like THE Death?" Luna said with slight fear in her voice.

Oh boy Remorel said internally.

"sigh Yes. I'm Death." Remorel breathed out.

Celestia was contemplating whether or not she should actually trust him, he IS Death. But, not everything is evil. Is death even a good or bad thing?

She will need to test him first, to see if he can be trusted.

"Remorel, how about you come back to Canterlot to have some tea and sight see?"

Luna immediately interjected.

"Are you serious? What if he does something? What if he's evil?" Luna was in her sisters face.

Celestia didn't flinch this time.

"That's why I'm bringing him to Canterlot." She turned to Remorel. "You don't mind of course, do you?"

"Of course not, I would like to get to know my surroundings better." Remorel then turned to Twilight.

"By the way, what did you do with my sword?"

Before Twilight could answer, Celestia spoke up.

"I, hid it to see if I can trust you first. Once I deem you trusted, I may allow you to have your weapon back." Celestia explained.

"Understandable, it's not easy to trust somebody like me. Especially since I hold the title of Death. That weapon stores almost all of my magic, so it may be better to keep it safe. But that's beside the point, when are we planning to leave?"

"As soon as possible, Twilight can come if she so chooses-"

"Uh, duh!"

"-and bring her friends along."

Twilight blushed at her own sudden outburst.

"Ok, so how long will that take?" Remorel asked.

"I thought you were a god, can't you tell me?" Celestia retorted.

"I don't have the power of Time or Fate, and like I said before, my magic is extremely depleted right now," Remorel explained.

"Interesting..." Celestia thought silently for a second.

"Besides, life is boring if you can expect everything."

Celestia chuckled a bit.

"Good point Remorel."

Rainbow and Fluttershy were just rambling on about nothing while Twilight went out to gather her other friends. Celestia decided she would make a room available to Remorel back in Canterlot, so she asked Luna to watch over him.

Luna said yes, reluctantly, she wasn't entirely comfortable with Remorel yet.

Remorel laid back while Twilight went to find the rest of her friends. Luna sat next to him...at a distance.

She decided to try and make small conversation.

"So...do you know magic?" Luna asked.

Depends on the magic, what kind are we talking about?"

"Any special type of magic? I have the power of entering the dream realm." Luna said.

"Ok. I have dark magic, blood magic, chaos magic, and fury magic." Remorel listed.

Luna was curious about blood magic in particular, she has never heard about blood magic before.

"What is blood magic?"

"Blood magic is my most powerful form of magic because I created it. If you want I can teach you sometime."

Luna wanted to, but she still doesn't trust Remorel.

"I...will think about it, I think my sister would like to know about this magic too. Care to explain the process?"

"Of course, I love teaching curious pe-...ponies. About blood magic. It's oh so very fascinating. Basically it uses your own blood as a substitute for mana, painful but extremely powerful. "

They sat in silence after that.

[25 minutes later]

Time has passed and Twilight brought the rest of her friends back to the castle.

They all greeted Remorel the same way, cautiously and fearfully. He didn't like it, but he understands why.

Eventually, Luna decided that it was time to go.

Remorel said that he can make himself invisible since it was part of his basic magic, so he doesn't scare the other ponies. Luna said it would be best, saying that the Ponyville residents tend to...overreact.

Soon they reached Canterlot, Luna keeping a firm eye on Remorel, since she can detect his presence more than any pony.

He was doing like he was told, to follow.

Interesting, he has the power to destroy the world if he wanted to, so why isn't he? Luna thought to herself.

Even with his basic magic, he can easily overpower the elements. So why isn't he doing anything to gain that advantage?
Luna was so deep in thought that she didn't see a piece of stone jutting out of the ground. She hit it and almost fell.

Almost.

She could feel a cold pressure on her chest, preventing her from falling.

She heard Remorel whisper, "Please be careful Luna, that could've hurt you."

He set her back standing quickly so to not attract attention from other ponies.

She silently whispered, "Thank you."

She could hear him chuckle a little then walked away, but close enough to her in case anything else happened again.

He just prevented me from getting hurt....maybe he's not so evil than I thought?

Luna ignored the thought and continued on.

Hopefully, he isn't just kissing my flank.
