Friendship's Kingdom
Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Dissapearance
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt had been one year since Equestria and Friendship Empire had formed an alliance, Luna woke when she felt a huge magical disturbance, she looked around to see she was laying on an empty field. She blinked “Where am I?!”
Luna flapped her wings flying up to the top of Mount Canterhorn and looked around Ponyville was gone as was Manehatten and Los Pegasus, in fact as she realised all of Equestria had vanished save her, she looked around in bewilderment “What happened here?!”
A group of griffons flew up the mountain “You are in griffon airspace, I suggest you explain yourself!”
Luna frowned “I awoke in that field and needed to get a view of where I was, so I flew up to the mountain top and found the entire kingdom I called home was gone.”
The lead griffon flew up, she had light grey fur and crimson red feathers with dark green talons grimaced “We are going to escort you to the Friendship Kingdom, it is the only place we can escort you to.”
Luna nodded “Very well.” (I just need to speak to Twilight)
A few hours later she was escorted to the border, Luna flew over the border to see Tempest there. Tempest frowned “Why are you being escorted her by griffons to our border?”
Luna sighed “Equestria dissapeared, all of it without a trace.”
Tempest blinked “What could have caused that, I mean Twilight could but if she did she would shared it with one of us and why leave you behind.”
Luna shook her head “It was not her and I have no idea why I am still here.”
Tempest nodded “We’ll take you back to the capital, I’m sure Twilight will be happy to house you until we figure out what caused this.”
Luna smiled “Thanks Tempest.”
Tempest smiled as a small ship landed “We have managed to make smaller warp ships a couple of months ago, this one will take us to Klugetown just remember keep your mouth shut during the trip. You don’t want to have to reconnect you organs, we have fixed that on the big ship but the smaller ones aren’t quite there yet.”
Luna nodded as she boarded the ship and it warped to Klugetown landing in the commander landing of the Castle, Tempest smiled “That’s my private warp ship for transport.”
Twilight blinked as she galloped in “What was the.. oh why is Luna here?”
Luna frowned “Equestria has vanished, I was escorted here by Griffons. I have no idea why this happened.”
Twilight frowned “Well that just adds to the weird things, I’ll fill you in, rather than Equestria there is Griffon Kingdom where Griffonstone is supposed to be called Griffonia ruled by their Queen Solaire, she has a personal student named Moonstar Burst and they are preparing for the thousandth Solar Cycle Celebration.”
Sombra frowned as he entered “The Crystal Empire is still there, we checked everywhere only Equestria has dissapeared.”
Sunset followed “We have deduced it to have been some sort of temporal disturbance, as for who has the power to cause such a thing to happen we don’t know.”
Twilight groaned “Let’s continue this in the meeting room so I have a table to bang my head on.” She teleported them into the meeting room, took a seat at the table and banged her head on the table “Bloody time travel!”
Luna grimaced “So what’s the plan, we have to figure out how this happened?”
Twilight groaned “I have been meaning to invite Solaire over to our Kingdom for a diplomatic discussion between us and the fact that some things that are she doesn’t know about.”
Sunset nodded “We may want to to be with us during the event and…”
A pegasus messenger flew in “There a massive giant red centaur outside the gates, he is demanding answers about something.”
Luna internally grimaced (I hope that’s not who I think it is, but he should be in Tartarus!)
Twilight frowned “We better meet him, come on.”
Tempest frowned “Agreed, this could be an issue.”
Discord materialised “I’ll take us there it will be quicker.”
Twilight smiled “Go on Discord.”
Discord smiled back as he clicked his claws and the group was standing on the walls,
a huge red centaur towered over the walls frowned “Can someone explain to me why Equestria has dissapeared?”
Luna screamed her horn glowing fiercely “Tirek, the Dread Centaur!”
Tirek grimaced “Yes Luna it’s me, now can someone answer my question?”
Twilight frowned “Some time related change erased Equestria from existence leaving Luna behind.”
Tirek scowled “Well that’s great!”
Discord frowned “How did you get your power back?”
Tirek chuckled “I discovered that are just wells of magic everywhere, Celestia held their locations in a book that she left in her old castle. If I knew they existed I wouldn’t have gone after pony magic.”
Luna blinked “Wait did the sun just go down.” She looked up to see the moon rising, it had a horned griffon on it.
Twilight grimaced “Well that just confirms my suspicions, there is someone on that moon and that Griffonia is parallel version of Equestria but replacing Ponies with Griffons.”
Twilight commanded “Open the gates!” Twilight frowned “Luna I know you don’t like him but maybe he has some information that can help us.”
Tirek nodded “Thank you, so we going to talk?”
Twilight nodded “Yes.”
Sunset smiled “So you’re Tirek right, what are your hobbies?”
Tirek shrugged as they headed to the castle “I like playing chess, it is a thinking game.”
Sunset smiled “I would like to play you some time.”
Tirek laughed “Maybe after this is over.” They headed out to the castle planning out a meeting unaware of what was going in the Everfree Forest one of the few places untouched by the strange events plaguing the world.
