A young man was sleeping soundly in his bed, he had just slowly opened his eyes and seen a dark tall figure hovering over him. He lay there for a moment, frozen in shock. His eyes scan the shape of the figure in the darkness, only the light of the moon shown through his window outlined the creature before him. "A unicorn?" He said groggily. He quickly grabbed the katana beside his bed but was too late to do anything else as the dark figure touched its horn to his head and a wash of light came over him.

"Your powers are needed now. Go forth and uphold your oath." It was then the young man blacked out.

It was some time before he awoke and groaned, slowly sitting up. As he did, a shape twinge of pain shot through his head having him bring his hands to his head. "Ah damn what the hell my head feels like its splitting open." As he sat there in pain before he picked up on the sound of what he could tell were clopping hooves. He turned his head and quickly figured out that he was not in his room anymore. Hell he wasn't even in his house anymore. He was outside and from what he could tell was a forest path.

The sound of hooves grows closer and the young man figured it might be a carriage that he knows all to well where he is from. He slowly gets to his feet and moves to the side of the forest path, awaiting whoever was coming but as the one he awaited started to come into view he could not believe his eyes. It was a unicorn, specifically a light purple unicorn. Her mane and tail where both straight cut with a highlight of purple and pink against the darker blue. Her eyes were a deeper shade of purple and she carried what he could tell was a saddle bag on either side of her back.

The little unicorn drew closer before she spotted the young man standing on the side of the path. "Oh my are you... are you a human?" She trotted up to him and looked him over before speaking again.

"You are a human I knew it. But wait a minute I thought humans where myths? What are you or more importantly how did you get here." She stared at him for a moment or two before he spoke.

The young man groaned and held his head with his hand. "Look Twilight, I would like it much better if we where out of this crazy forest." Indeed he knew who she was. The young man was one of the many fans of the shown portraying the adventure of this unicorn and her friends.

"How? How did you know my name?" She saw his actions and noticed he was in some kind of pain. "Oh you must be hurt, here follow me back to my home. I'll see what I have to help you with that. Maybe then you can tell me just how you know me."

The young man leaned back down and grabbed his sword and followed the mare through the forest. But as soon as they took a few steps, the ground rumbled. The two stopped dead in his tracks and turn to see what made the noise. Not seeing anything they continue their trek but again the ground shook.

"Ok now what in the name of the stars was that?"

"I'm not sure. There are a number of things in the Everfree forest so I can't say for sure." The two wait for a moment before the ground shook once more.

"Seismic Reverberance. Whatever it is it's big, really big."

The two hardly had time to react as a large head lunged for them. It struck the ground just beside them, launching the two in different directions.The human shook his head as he looked up to see the creature's face. Getting to his feet the young man drew his sword and readied himself as the beast lunged again for him. He quickly side-stepped and swung a horizontal cut at its neck but it did very little. "Damn it."

As if on instinct he sheathed his sword and swung his hand around and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile in the capital city of Canterlot a large white winged unicorn mare stood out on her balcony. Several hard knocks came to her door and before she even had a chance to move, the door swung open and in ran a dark blue winged unicorn mare. "Sister did thou feel that?"

The larger mare looked over her shoulder to her sister. "Indeed I did Luna. It came from the Everfree Forest."

Luna trotted over to her sister. "That power, we had not felt it in so very long. Doth thou think it could be...him?"

"I am not sure little sister. The signature is very similar if not a perfect match." The older sister looked down to Luna.

"It has been so long since he was taken from us. So long since we have seen his face or been in his presence." She leaned against her sister's side to which the white mare opened her wing and draped it over her sister.

"He gave his life for us Luna we can not ever forget that."

"But if there is a chance that after more then a millenia he has returned to us, would thou not take it?" She looked up to her elder sister.

"You know better then to ask that Luna. You among all ponies know the pain I have felt since his passing. If there was a chance that he was somehow given back to us, you know as well as I that I would go to any length to find out the truth. But we have an image to uphold and though I would wish to do otherwise we have to take steps to find out." She left the balcony and walked back into her room and over to a pedestal. Using her magic he brought over a piece of parchment, an inkwell and a quill she then began to write.

Twilight groaned before she slowly rose to her hooves. She shook the dirt from her mane and knocked whatever might have gotten in her ears. As she looked around to see if the human she had met was ok, her eyes went wide at what she saw.

What had struck them was a Hydra, more specifically one of it's heads. But as of now that was a moot point because the large beast was now floating in the air and surrounded by an aura of deep purple. She looked over to the human she had seen earlier and noticed that his hand was glowing in the same color. As she continued to watch, the young human moved his hand with a flick of his wrist and tossed the hydra a great distance then dropped to his knees then to his face.

Twilight galloped over to the fallen human and nudged him with her hoof. "Hey are you ok? Wake up. Please wake up." She looked him over and noticed his chest rising and falling. He was alive just might have passed out from the use of his magic. But it was strange, from what she read about humans, they weren't suppose to be able to use magic.

Seeing that the human she met was not moving and she did not want to leave him there, she thought for a moment. "Uh duh I have magic." Giggling to herself because of her own forgetfulness, her horn began to glow and it generates and aura around the man and his sword. She then trots off back to her home With the young human and his weapon floating behind her.

"Sister it's gone now, the power from the Everfree forest is gone? Might something have happened?" Luna turned to look at her sister as she laid by the fire. It was slowly becoming sundown and Luna would have to preform her duty and raise the moon as she had down every night since her return.

The elder mare looked over to her sister. "No Luna. I have faith that whatever has transpired, it is not of ill intent." She was looking into the fire and did not even turn her head to look at her sister when she spoke.

Luna once again joined her elder sister. "Celestia, we understand how you must feel. We too were there when he was struck down."

Celestia was always good at hiding her pain and grief from her subjects. It was not right for them to see their ruler falter. But though immortal, she was not without feeling. Feeling that even in the large bedroom lit only by the fire, her sister could see. Celestia's eyes were hidden by her flowing mane but even so, a soft whimper and tears dripped past her mane and onto the rug below.

The young princess of the night leaned and nuzzled her elder sister. She was doing all she could to comfort her. They had known their champion ever since they were foals. The three of them were very close, nigh inseparable.

Luna looked out of her sister's balcony and saw that it was her time to raise the moon as she had always done. She nuzzled her sister again before she spoke. "Tia we must preform our duties now. Get some sleep, we shall return when the moon is at its apex" With those words the moon princess rose to her hooves and opened her wings before dashing to the balcony and into the air.

Celestia was alone once more. It was just as it was that very long time ago. Lunar had been killed defending the kingdom from an invading horde. Sometime later she had to banish her only sister. For over a thousand years before Luna's return she had to carry on alone. Everyday and night felt worse as the years grew. Finally when Luna had returned, a part of her did as well. She loved her sister deeply and would have done anything for her, Luna knew that but the part she needed, the part of her she truly missed and wanted back the most was that of the one she thought about spending her eternal life with.

Using her magic she opened a drawer from a nightstand on the far end of the room beside her bed. She removed a box then closed the drawer. The box floated over to her and then hovered in front of her. Using her magic to open it she looked inside to its contents. Inside was a bracelet made of a mixture of platinum and gold. The bracelet was studded with diamonds and sapphire. Along side it was a note to which she removed and read.

Dearest Celestia

_ We have known each other a very long time and in that time both you and I have grown close to one another. I know it is not right of me to do this, you a beautiful princess and I just your humble knight. But I feel as though if I do not tell you how I feel then my heart might very well burst from my chest and I don't think the servants would take kindly to cleaning up Alicorn remains._

Celestia giggled softly and sniffed, holding back her tears as she read that part.

Celestia, dear kind Celestia. I love you, I love you like the grass loves the warmth from the life giving sun. I love you like the moon loves the stars. I would not be who I am without you beside me. You mean everything to me. I would gladly give up my immortality if I knew that I could spend just one more day in your loving embrace. Nothing brings me more joy then to see you in the mornings, to know you are the last thing I see in the evenings, to hear you laugh at my lame jokes. Without you my love, my life would have no meaning, no purpose.

_ This bracelet that I have enclosed is not very much but when I seen it I knew it would only look better if it were on you. Everything about it screams of the love I have for you. When you look upon it I hope that you are reminded of its brilliance, and me._

Yours Eternally and a day Lunar Star

As she folded the note back up and placed it within the box, tears welled back up into her eyes and she then buried her face into her hooves and wept.

The young human slowly came to but as he awoke he noticed that he was no longer in the forest. It took him a moment to collect himself before he realized he was in bed. "Maybe it was just a dream."

As he was about the go back to sleep, he was stopped by the sound of snoring. He quickly sat up and looked around before the sight of what he could see as a sleeping baby dragon. "Spike, always sawing logs."

He looked over to the bed across from him and seen it was empty. He looked down from the loft and could see lights that were on from downstairs. He had slowly gotten out of bed and climbed down from the loft. He slowly made his way down the stairs until he heard the clopping of hooves and soft muttering. He soon reached the bottom of the steps and leaned against the side of the doorway. He watched as the purple unicorn walked back and forth, scanning through books and talking to herself.

With a gentle knock on the frame work, it snapped the unicorn from her book which she dropped in surprise and turned fast to stare at the human now before her. "Oh good you're awake. For a while there I wasn't sure if you were going to open your eyes anytime soon."

"I... don't remember what happened. The last thing I recall was that thing, whatever it was, attacking us. I tried to use my sword but nothing happened." He gripped his left wrist and rubbed it.

"Well that thing was a Hydra. It must have herd us and decided that we would be something on it's menu. But you took care of it with your magic. I mean really, I was impressed. I didn't think humans were able to use magic. But you did and just tossed that Hydra away like it was nothing. Then you passed out and I brought you here." She smiled to him.

"You're saying I used magic?" He walked over to her and leaned against the center table.

Twilight's head nodded. "Oh yes, I will never forget that. But one thing I don't understand, how did you know my name. I mean I have read all that there is about Equestria's history and not one thing was mentioned about humans ever living here."

"Well as you could have guessed, I am not from here. I was somehow brought here. I still don't yet by whom but the last thing I can remember was that it said. My power was needed and that I needed to uphold my oath, whatever that means." He sighed softly.

"How did you know my name anyway? We have never met before today and I think I would remember meeting a human." She used her magic to pick up the book she was reading and placed it on the table.

"Well that's a bit hard to explain but here goes. Where I come from there is a show which features yourself, your five friends. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. It is a show made for little kids and they portray your little adventures." Again he rubbed his left wrist.

"So wait, you've been observing us?" The human shook his head.

"No not at all. The whole thing is drawn by artists called animators. It's basically a cartoon for children." He looked to the little unicorn and seen she was trying to piece together everything he said. "Look it's not important, just know that I know whom you are. As for me, name's Tom but my friends call me Stargazer or Star for short if you want."

"Well ok Star since this is your first time here in Equestria, allow me to give you a tour though we will have to wait till morning." The young unicorn yawned softly.

"I think it best we get some sleep." Twilight nodded and both her and her human friend retire for the night.

Elsewhere however, evil stirs. Two shadowy figures stand on top of a crumbling tower

"Are you certain of this?" The taller of the two shadow's speak. The other nods.

"Great that's all we need. If Lunar is here this is going to make things a bit difficult for his majesty."
