Act 1: A Fateful Encounter

    Both princesses continue to look at the creature who was slowly stirring and waking up from what felt like a month long sleep.]Koraseru begins to make his way outside of the pod, falling to his knees in the process, making Celestia and Luna back away quickly. he finally get to his feet, then suddenly, those sky blue eyes shoot open.

    “W-where am I?”

    They noticed by his size, and by his voice he was definitely young. All kinds of things ran through Celestia’s mind as she watched the unfamiliar being look around. Luna however just walks right up to him with an innocent smile. Koraseru instinctively takes a step back

    “Wooooow. What are you? I have never seen a being like you before. You look so...reptilian. It is pretty fascinating!”

    She said as she circled around him, getting a glimpse of everything about him.

    “I could say the same for you. You are what people of earth refer to as an...equine species.”

    Suddenly, the young acrosian was surrounded by multiple guards with spears drawn on him. Hadn’t Luna been near him, they would have shoved them closer to him.

    “Princess, keep away from the creature, he is a potential threat!”

    Koraseru’s eyes widen as he sees the familiar hostile attitudes towards himself. He began to shake as his senses went into overdrive, fear for his life kicking in as they draw ever close.

    “I-I don’t even know where I am…”

    He said as he backed away against the pod.

    “How can I be a threat to you?!”

    Both Celestia and Luna could hear the fear and confusion in his voice. Celestia along with Luna try to get around the guard to defend him, but the gape was already too tight to squeeze through.

    “Take him to the dungeons. He is clearly a spy sent from elsewhere, here to gather intelligence for his kind to invade us!”

    The urge to go into full survival mode was kicking in with Koraseru. E#everything his father had taught him when outnumbered was all coming to memory. As two guards grab for him, he grabs their wrists and throws him down with ease, getting into a fighting stance and putting on a face that screamed intimidation in order to mask his fear

    “Get away from me!”

    He screamed out at the guard, ready to defend himself more should it be required. The guard stared in shock as this young...thing threw two large guards to the ground like it was nothing. This also shocked Celestia, but Luna was...rather impressed. Someone as young as he looked to do that. What else could he do?

    “Subdue him! Beat him down if you have to!”

    Celestia heard those words. She didn’t want the poor boy to get hurt. So she teleports in front of in between the guards and Koraseru, Luna doing the same thing as well.

    “No, don’t hurt him! Can’t you all see he is just a child?! What is Wrong with you all?! As Princess, I demand you lower your weapons, now!”

    “I am afraid we cannot do that Princess Celestia. He could be a threat to you, Princess Luna, all of us. If necessary we will kill him if he doesn’t come along quietly.”

    Said the leader of the group. Koraseru’s eyes widen as he hears the words ‘kill him’. He goes into panic mode and suddenly lifts in the air to get himself away from the spears. Luna gasps in surprise as he somehow has the ability to fly without wings.

    “Amazing! You see that Tia?!”

    “I do, Lulu.”

    “Go and find a pegasus  unit to retrieve him now!”

    Luna looks over to her sister and smiles.

    “Come on, let’s go and talk to him! He is safe in the air. Should the pegasi come, we can just take him and hide him. I know he isn’t all that bad”

    “I...dunno Lulu, did you see how he handled those guards…? Something tells me he isn’t just a boy who has strayed a little too far from home…”

    “Oh Tia...you are such a scaredy pony. .I’m gonna go talk to him!”

    Luna opens her wings up and becomes airborne, flapping her wings and making her way up to Koraseru with a big smile.

    “Luna, come back!”

    Celestia said as she watched her sister fly off to go and speak with a completely different being that could in fact hurt her. She sighs and takes flight as well, accompanying her sister. As they fly towards him, Koraseru puts his arms up in a defensive stance and glares at them.

    “Please...I don’t want to cause trouble here...I am just lost and confused.”

    Both Celestia and Luna could hear the genuine regard for life in his voice, they drift towards him slowly so as to not spook him.

    “We aren’t going to hurt you. We aren't like our guards, they are simply doing their job is all. Though I won’t lie. Your appearance is definitely one that could send a bit of fright down one’s spine.”

    Luna gets in close, looking up at the boy who was still very on guard.

    “Hi, I am Luna! What is your name?”

    When Luna finally got right in front of him, Koraseru’s eyes met with ehrs. She was an adorable little thing. And those big teal eyes of hers suddenly started to have a calming affect on him,his heart rate which was speeding out of control from what was happening was dropping back down to normal levels. Even Celestia could feel his tension starting to drop. She makes her way by her sister, examining the acrosian with fascination in her gaze.

    “So...what are you exactly?”

    “Well, I am an acrosian,or more specifically a frost demon...I...I was sent away from my home planet because something bad was happening there. I remember going into the space pod there, and my mother...my mother and father they…”

    Sadness began to form inside of him, his fists balling up as his head lowers.

    “They...they are gone. The bad people who invaded my home took them from me...I know that they did.”

    Both of the princesses gasped lightly as they know what had happened by the way he talked about it. The boy had his homeworld invaded, and for all he knows,his parents could be dead.

    “I..am sorry for your loss. It is not easy to live without one’s parents at a young age…”

    Celestia said as she flew in closer, gently wrapping her arms around him, but slowly as well, to make sure that he doesn’t think she is trying to hurt him. Luna even adds onto the hug with her own. One thing he noticed about the two fillies hugging him, is that they were warm and soft. And smelled...rather nice. Though the moment was short lived as Koraseru more guards coming at him, but they had wings. Both Luna and Celestia were quick to act. They squeeze Koraseru as tight as possible and make their horns glow. Suddenly in a bright light, all three of them vanish before the guards could reach them. They reappear in the throne room, where the commander of the guard just happened to be, looking for the princesses.

    “Ah, there you two are-.”

    He eyes the being being embraced by the two young alicorns, arching a brow as he approaches.

    “Uuuh...a new friend of yours, girls?”

    They open their eyes and gasp in delight as they see their commander of their army and father figure.

    “Azure Sky! Please, you need to help us,the guards, they won’t listen to us! They tried to hurt him!”

    Luna exclaims as she points to the dizzy acrosian trying to maintain his balance. First time teleporting? Yyyyep.

    “They think he is some kind of spy or a danger or something. He is just a child like us!”

    Azure puts a hand up in front of Luna then looks over to Celestia.

    “What has he told you, princess?”

    “Well, he said that he came from his home planet which was being invaded. He was in this odd looking device that he called ‘a space pod’ that his...family sent him in. he believes that they are dead now.”

    Azure nods and looks over to Koraseru,making his way towards him and kneels in front of the boy, examining him and then locking eyes with him.

    “Tell me boy. Are you truthfully here by accident? You really don’t know where you are?”

    “Y-yes sir...the last thing i remember is the pod filling with sleeping gas, then I wake up here...guards already pointing their weapons at me.”

    The commander searches through his eyes for the truth. It was indeed there plain as day. Azure reached up and placed a gentle hand on Koraseru’s shoulder, offering a gentle smile.

    “Don’t worry son. The guards will not lay a hand on you. I will make sure of that. You have been through enough already.”

    “R-really? Thank you sir…”

    Azure chuckles lightly.

    “Well mannered aren’t you my boy?”

    “Well, I can tell by your armor and uniform you hold a significant rank here. I grew up with a father who was high in the ranks as well. So he taught me to be respectful to those in high command.”

    Azure can’t help but smile at the boy’s knowledge if militant subjects, and the fact that he shows respect to those within high rankings.

    “Your father taught you well. I take it you wanted to follow in his footsteps when you were of age?”

    “Yes sir, I want to become even stronger than our leader, that way I could defend those I care about from others who wanted to cause us pain and heartache. But...it looks like from where I am, I will not be able to protect them...ever.”

    Koraseru said as he lowered his head, squeezing his hands into fists again. Azure took sympathy on Koraseru. To be sent away from your family at such a young age, it isn’t easy. He may not know Koraseru, but he understands the sorrow of being separated from a mother and father, especially to never reunite again.”

    “What is your name, son?”

    “Koraseru, son of Shimiru and Kogoeru. Mother and father in that order.”

    “Well Koraseru. I am commander Azure Sky. It is a pleasure to meet you. I would offer you shelter here. But I am afraid that decision comes from Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”

    He looks over to them both.

    “What is your decision, Princesses?”

    “Do you even need to ask that, commander? The poor boy has lost his family and is in a new world. It would be rather cruel of us to just toss him out and onto the streets in a whole new world wouldn’t you think?”

    Celestia may be young, but she was also one of the rulers of Equestria. And she showed her authority very well. And Luna, she was all too ecstatic to have him welcomed into the castle.

    “Yes! We shall give him shelter and he can stay as long as he wants. I make this an official order on my part!”

    “You two sure I can stay here? I don’t...want to impose.”

    “Actually Koraseru, it would seem that my little sister has taken a liking to you. I would be very very grateful that you become her friend. I am usually pretty busy with running Equestria, and I never do have to time to play with her that much or even spend time with her. I know that with you here, he loneliness will no longer be with her. I have a feeling that you coming here wasn’t by accident. Perhaps...to change the course of something that is to happen in the future.”

    “I...am not sure what you mean. But I am ever grateful that you are allowing me to stay in your castle. I was part of nobility but to actually stay in a castle? Well, it is almost unheard of.”

    He gave a deep bow, multiple times.

    “Thank you Princess Celestia, thank you so very much.”

    She simply smiles at him. For such a scary looking creature, he had...such wonderful manners. And for some reason, Luna seemed to be over the moon with him. She looks over to Azure Sky and nods

    “Commander, would you please take him to the guest room that resides in Luna’s tower please?”

    “Right away Princess. Koraseru, please come with me and we will get you settled in”

    “Yes sir. And, thank you again princess.”

    “You are welcome Koraseru. Please, get some rest.”

    Celestia walks out the other way as Azure and Lina take him to his room. After she was alone, she looks up out at the window. Her eyes staring to the heavens

    “Mother Faust, is this the one you spoke of in my dream? The one that will save Luna when she needs it the most?”
