Twilight Sparkle is awakened from her slumber as the rays of the sun kisses her face via a window positioned just above the very bed she laid upon. She turns her head in an effort to shield her eyes from the sun and let’s out a yawn. For a moment, she scans around the room she now finds herself in trying to familiarize herself with her new surroundings.
“Where am I?, the last thing I remember was being sucked into- Wait!, my friends!.”, Twilight exclaims as she fires up her horn and teleports out of the bed, the lavender princess then swings open her rooms door and trots down a nearby set of stairs. “Hello?, Is anypony there?!”
“Good grief Twilight, you know you can be- Twilight!, you’re awake!”, Starlight Glimmer yells as she runs into her teacher and hugs her with all her might.
“S-starlight, I... Can’t... Breath...”, Twilight says as she struggles In her students grasp.
“Oops, sorry Twilight.”, Starlight releases the lavender Alicorn finally allowing her to breath. Twilight recovers and takes a few deep breaths before she speaks.
“What’s going on?, you hugged me like I was gone for a whole year or something.”
“Twilight, you were asleep for three whole days!. We were incredibly worried about you and thought you’d starve or dehydrate yourself in your sleep, I’m glad you’re awake now... I guess you can thank that Alicorn body of yours huh?. I’m pretty sure if you were a regular pony you would’ve-”, Starlight cuts herself off as Twilight stares at her with a look that could best be described as: -really?-, the unicorn mare then fidgets nervously and laughs sheepishly. “Ehehe... I’m gonna stop talking now.”, Twilight couldn’t help but to chuckle at her students antics, she then smiles and puts a hoof on Starlight’s left shoulder.
“I’m glad you’re ok Starlight. Is it safe to assume everypony else is ok?, and what do you mean I’ve been asleep for three days?. How could I?, I don’t remember doing anything that could cause such a-”, Twilight’s words was cut off as Starlight puts a hoof to her muzzle.
“OK!, I’m gonna have to stop you right there Twilight. Let’s take it one step at a time for now, yes everypony is fine it was mostly just you. As for what’s going on, well, why don’t you come outside and see for yourself. We can head to Candy Cane Corner for some breakfast.”
“Candy Cane Corner?, what’s that?”, Twilight questions.
“You’ll see, now come one.”, Starlight replies as she leads her teacher to the exit and leaves the house together.
As Twilight followed her student down a stone paved road she couldn’t believe what she was seeing around her as a small community was built in her absence, she looks in multiple directions and from the looks of it the alicorn could tell she was in some sort of sealed off community. Stone walls surrounded the few buildings she could see around her including the building she and Starlight had just exited, there was also a rather large cloud positioned over the aforementioned building as well. One could tell instantly that these stone walls served to keep land based threats out and to protect those within. Twilight turns her gaze back to her student.
“This is amazing Starlight, did you and the others do this in just three days?. This place is almost the size of ponyville... Not to complain or anything but there’s only eight of us, isn’t this a little overkill?.”
“Actually Twilight, there’s thirteen of us in total so far. Well, then again, Zecora has been spending a lot of time in the nearby jungle. I think Rainbow Dash saw her building something there.”
“You know, that really doesn’t surprise me. Zecora always did prefer to live in dangerous yet secluded areas and If anypo- er, I mean, anyzebra could thrive in such a place it’s definitely her especially since she called The Everfree Forest home.” Twilight then looks around once more. “So where in the world are we?, I know for a fact this isn’t Equus anymore. This world feels so different and the magic field here is many times stronger than back home, I can’t explain it but my body feels... Amazing.”, Twilights words causes Starlight to chuckle a bit before she replies to the Alicorn.
“We’re almost there Twilight, I promise everything will be revealed once we get to- oh!, we’re here.”, Starlight exclaims as she turns around to Twilight and raises her right hoof into the air. The smell of baked sweets rushed into Twilights nose, something she was all too familiar with thanks to a certain pink pony. “Welcome to Candy Cane Corner, Twilight Sparkle.”
“T-that’s a lot of candy cane... Then again, this has Pinkie written all over it.”, was all Twilight could say with a bit of laughter as she and Starlight enters the building. Upon entering the sound of a bell goes off and a pink blur shoots down from upstairs and appears before the two mares.
“Welcome to Candy Cane Corner where everything is super sweet and- TWILIGHT!”, Pinkie shouts as she tackles Twilight causing her to slide on the floor with the party pony on top. “Oh-my-gosh-I-was-so-worried-when-you-didn’t-wake-up-because-then-I’d-have-to-throw-a-please-wake-up-party-for-you-but-now-you’re-awake-and-you’re-ok-so-now-we-”, Pinkie was cut off as Starlight ignited her horn and lifts her off of the Alicorn.
“That’s enough Pinkie, she just woke up and I’d hate for you to put her back down.”, Starlight says with a deadpan stare as she helps Twilight back to her feet.
“Oops, sorry about that Twi. I’m just super duper duuuuper happy to see you. Go ahead and take a seat you two Dashie, Rarity, and the terrarians are inside.”, Pinkie replies as she speeds off upstairs in a pink blur heading back to the kitchen. Pinkie’s words catches Twilight off guard as she turns to Starlight and asks:
“The Terrarians?, who or wha-”
“That would be us miss, come and take a seat. We’ve got a lot to talk about and your pink friend makes amazing pastries!”, A man sitting nearby on a table with other individuals calls out to Twilight as he overheard the Alicorn's question. He wears a light blue shirt with blue jeans along with black shoes. Twilight’s eyes widened and her mouth goes agape upon noticing his appearance along with various other members sitting at his table. These beings were similar in appearance to those in Sunset Shimmers world, two ponies sat with them: Rainbow Dash and Rarity, both of whom speaks up when they notice Twilight’s reaction.
“See?, I told you the egghead would react this way when she sees them.” - Rainbow Dash.
“Why of course darling, it’s not everyday somepony meets a terrarian you know.” - Rarity.
Starlight, Rarity, and Rainbow dash cover their muzzles with a hoof and try their best to hide their laughs as they witness Twilight’s reaction, the alicorn stood there momentarily as she imitates a goldfish opening and closing her mouth.
“I see introductions are needed. My name is Tanner Lansworth, The Guide.”
“I’m Helena Harpner, The Nurse.”
“Name’s Vinny Bonsoot, I make things go boom. Demolitionist at your service.”
“Call me Ceeman Jones, the sharpest eye in Terraria and your local Arms Dealer.”
“Lucan Valerius, the merchant.”
“...”, Silence was all Twilight had.
“Hey, uh, Twilight?. This is when you greet them in return you know.”, Rainbow Dash says as she looks worriedly at the stunned Alicorn.
“...”, The Princess Of Friendship still remains quiet.
“Darling, It’s rather uncouth for a lady to not properly-”
“I. HAVE. SO. MANY. QUESTIONS!”, Twilight exclaims as she cuts Rarity off, conjures a pen and multiple sheets of paper with her magic, and takes a seat on the table.
-EQUUS, PRINCESS CADENCE AND SHINING ARMOR’S BED CHAMBERS-
Princess Luna, Discord, Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor along with an unconscious Flurry Heart who was placed on the royal couple’s bed are all lost in their thoughts as they ponder the events from three days ago. Luna is the first to break the silence.
“Alright, we know at the very least that the element bearers are still alive. They’ve simply been displaced, we’ve had our time to grieve these last few days but alas we must return to the matters at hoof. Lord Of Chaos, are thou sure ye can’t enter that realm with your magic?”
“It’s not that my magic can’t get us there I’m simply not allowed to go there, I’m... Banished, and I'm the only one who has a link to that realm.”, The Draconeqqus replies much to everyone’s surprise. Luna steps forward and stands before him.
“Discord, we believe It’s time for thou to explain some things to us. For starters, what is this land of Terr... Aria you speaketh of?. Also, when art thou ever NOT banished from anything...”, Luna’s question and statement causes Discord to stare at her for a few seconds before he takes a deep breath and sighs heavily. Everyone present, aside from Flurry Heart who still remains asleep, are instantly brought to attention.
“I’m not going to bore you with all the details so I’ll cut it short, and sit down. This is gonna be quite the tale.” Discord says as he snaps his fingers and brings up multiple desks paired with a single chair. They were positioned in a way that was similar to what you’d find in a classroom. Everyone looks on with minor annoyance before they sigh in defeat and takes their seats. “The truth is, I’m not actually from Equus. I came from a world where the magic present there far exceeds what you could ever find here on Equus, the things that one could do there were simply marvelous. As a result, I was brought into being from the chaotic energies of that world. Believe it or not, what I do here on Equus is considered the norm there oh how I’ve missed the chaos I could truly wrought when I was back home.”, Discord’s words left everyone in shock, Luna recovers from her state and slams a hoof onto her desk.
“What?!, thou means to tell us that ye were born and knew of this worlds existence yet thou hath never thought to tell any of us?”, Luna exclaims In anger.
[SNAP]
Suddenly, a closed zipper replaces Luna’s muzzle. “Atatatata, no interrupting Lulu. If you do that again I’m putting you in the corner, you even get to wear a pointy hat that says ‘I’m an edge lord’. Besides, we do have a child sleeping you know... Truly rude of you Princess.”, Discord says as he smirks at the lunar princess, she grunts in irritation. “Now where was I?, oh yes, well some time later a being named Cthu-”
[KNOCK] [KNOCK] [KNOCK] [KNOCK]
“Oh for the love of, you know what?, class dismissed!. I’m going back to my pocket dimension, these interruptions are annoying me. I’ll be back later, tootles.”, Discord then snaps his fingers and disappears taking with him all of the desk and chairs which causes everyone to fall onto their flanks. Luna’s zipper disappears as her muzzle returns to normal, she takes on an angered expression and yells:
“Thou wretched draconequus!, get back here and-”
“WAAAAAAA, WAAAAAAA”, Flurry Heart cries out as she was awoken by the lunar princess’s shouting. Both Shining Armor and Cadence looks at Luna with deadpan stares, this causes her to smile sheepishly and fidgets in place.
[KNOCK] [KNOCK] [KNOCK] [KNOCK]
“Coming!”, Cadence shouts as she turns to Shining Armor. “Shiny can you tend to the baby while I get that?, thank you.”, The Alicorn asks as she goes to the door and opens It.
“Ma’am, the outposts have been established around The Corruption and we await your next orders.”
“Excellent Tempest, we shall enact the next phase of our plan once we deal with my... Daughter. Ehehe...”
