Author's Notes:

It's short but I hope you all like it.

She opened her mouth and began to speak, "Excuse me John, we need you in the throne room please." I nodded my head and followed her into the castle. We walked in silence not even looking at each other. The walls were pure white with slight gold outlines. The moonlight filtered through the stain glass windows.

"How is blue bitch doing?" I suddenly asked. I know it's rude to call her that but with how cocky she was acting I was being nice. She went wide eyed for a second before responding.

"Princess Luna is doing better but still in critical condition. You really did a number on her." I couldn't placed her tone of voice. It wasn't monotone but not full of emotion either. Somber maybe?

"I never meant to do that to her. I only wanted to bang her up a little bit. I don't know my own strength sometimes." I rubbed the back of my head. She rose a brow bit didn't say anything. We walked into the throne room to see Celestia sitting on her throne.

"Ah, John, it occurred to me that you don't know where your room is. The maid behind you will take you." I turned to see a mare in a maid uniform there. She was shaking and simply nodded her head and walked away. I walked after her down the hall. Nurse Red Heart followed her with me. We reached my room and I thanked the maid. I was about to close the door when Red Heart spoke.

"If it's alright, can I speak to you?" I rose a brow but opened the door and stepped to the side. She walked in and sat down on the couch off to the side. I closed the door and sat the chair across from her.

"What is it you needed to talk about?"

"You actually, more specifically how act. When we were alone you seemed care free but around the princesses and the elements you seem cold in a way."

"Ah yes, I'm normally calm, lazy, and quite the nerd if you would believe it, but in tough or serious situations I'm cold and calculating. Does that make sense?"

She nods, "I can see that. Um... How did you get so strong? You couldn't have done it alone could you?"

'Let's see I went to a convention, bought something and teleported to a TV show. She'll think I'm crazy. I know, I'll just tell her my characters back story. She'll believe that... Right?'

"My home land was plagued with war. Any and everyone who could help did. I was one of the unlucky few to be drafted as soldiers. It was brutal to say the least. Not five months in did I get these scars. That was when we got word that our village was going to be attacked by 2000 troops. 2000 troops that we mere 200 had to kill. Worse part was is that we wouldn't get any reinforcements in time.

One night I snuck out to the temple in order to pray. I wasn't a religious man then, nor am I now, but I had nothing left to lose. What I didn't expect however was it to be answered. Sort of. One of the gods, Mórrígan came to me. She said that she could give the to strength to protect what I wanted. A price was the only thing she wanted in return. I said yes obviously, who wouldn't. She said something cryptic though, 'I wonder how my warrior of fate will turn out in this twisted tale.' I ran home to tell my wife the news. But by the time I got home it was too late.

There was a break in, both my wife and daughter were killed. It was then I realized what she meant. I got the power to protect, at the cost of losing what it was that I wanted to protect." We sat in silence for a few moments.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that."

"It's fine, it happened over 300 years ago." She reeled back in shock.

"Over 300 years! How old are you?!" She all but yelled.

"I don't know, I stop keeping track after 300." I never actually gave him a age, let's hope they'll believe that.

"Well, I better get going. Goodnight John."

"Goodnight nurse Red Heart." She left as I got up to change. I looked out the window and gazed out at the sky for a few minutes before crawling into bed. The sheets were soft and warm but one could feel how durable they are.

Before I could close my eyes I heard a loud pop and something hitting my head. I sat up to see a scroll in my lap. I was confused but opened it up.

Hello John,

It appears that I need to tell you a few things. First, you're not the only one who is like this. Second you can call for help or aid others with tokens. I'll won't tell you about getting them, but how to send them out. Take an item and put your magic into it. A message is also a nice thing to add. Then simply toss it and the void will send it through out the multiverse.

The merchant.

I rose a brow but thought to give it a try. I grabbed my necklace I bought and slowly but surely poured my magic into it.

'How am I able to use magic? Must be innate I guess. I'll have to find out tomorrow.'

I brought it up close, "I am John, contractor of Mórrígan, Goddess of fate and war. Should you need my help, simply call me and I shall come." I tossed it off to the side and saw a void open up. The necklace multiplied and scattered. I small clink notified me that the necklace landed back on the night stand. I laid back down and closed my eyes.

'I hope tommorow will be better.'
