Chương 45: Chapitre 45
Chapter 45
"Page, I... there is something..." Luna said softly as she settled my bags across my back, "Please don't go."
The last five minutes had been somewhat surreal. Luna and Celestia had been having a shouting match in a soundproof bubble.
I know Luna wanted me to stay safe, but this was something I had to do. It was too important not to do. But she seemed... afraid.
"She needs help and I can help. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one with any sort of experience in this." I reassured her and gave her a quick kiss, "Just keep Skitter from following."
Luna looked seriously unhappy. She finally nodded though with a small helpless sigh, "...Promise you'll come back?"
"Of course."
"Bring the thief and the element back. My sister is right, it's too dangerous to leave either of them in that world. They don't belong there, who knows what damage they can cause."
Giving her a quick nuzzle, I then trotted over to Twilight, "Ready?"
"...Ready. So... you are from another world?"
"Yep. And I'll tell you all about it later, but I think we have something more important to do right now. Lead the way, Princess."
Taking a deep breath, Twilight walked through the mirror. Then it was my turn.
Slowly walking up, I looked at it before giving it a poke, "Three days to get back." I said softly as I watched the ripples across the surface. I looked back at Luna, where she was holding a struggling and buzzing Skitter in her magic, and the rest one last time before I walked into the mirror.
I'm so going to have a pissed off changeling on my hooves when I return.
Wonder how many limbs I'll end up with this time? Would I get wings? Wings are cool. I bet there will be pinetrees. There are always pinetrees through portals. ...Or deserts. Let's hope for pinetrees.
Reality warped around me, flattening and twisting, spinning around as it stilled to nothing, a blinding bright black light was all encompassing as everything took on unknowable shapes not meant for a mortal mind for a second before I seemed to pass out.
XXXXXXXXXX
The first thing that came to mind was that my mouth tasted like asphalt. I could smell asphalt.
Opening my eyes revealed the reason. I was laying on asphalt. Huh.
Well, that explained that.
Wait...
Struggling to sit up, I looked around. Houses. Trees. Birds. Sounds of cars, music in the distance. The air smelled.. kinda bad.
I raised my hand and wiggled my fingers.
Fingers.
I had fingers.
Struggling to keep my breathing under control, I looked myself over. Jeans, t-shirt. A simple black jacket with parchment markings on it. Two legs. Two arms. Presumably one head even if I couldn't look at it right now.
The fact that I was dressed for some strange reason was pushed to the side by the simple reason that I was human again.
The mirror...
I looked at the statue we were next too before I scooted over to it and pressed my hand through the seemingly stone surface.
The mirror lead to Earth.
They knew.
Luna knew. That's why she didn't want me to go. They knew there was a way back to Earth every three years and they didn't tell me.
She knew.
I felt like I had just been punched.
Closing my eyes, I shook my head and struggled up onto my feet, wobbling slightly. No. Not now. I'll figure it all out later when I can yell at her but the fate of Equestria was still at stake and no matter how much it hurt, it was still more important to get the element back.
Woah, wobbly. Walking on two legs again was tricky.
"Auah!!"
The sound caused me to turn and look, spotting Twilight freaking out over her new form. Huh, I thought she would be older. She looked like she was in highschool.
"Princess Twilight." I said, causing her to turn in my direction before squeaking in surprise as she looked at me in fear.
I frowned and extended my hand towards her, "Figure out your new form later. We still have a mission to do."
"...Page?"
"It's me." I said and pulled her onto her feet, leaving her to wobble in place trying to keep standing before I reached to pick up my bags which were now a satchel and shrugging it over my shoulders, checking the contents. Everything was still here, including my Chakram, gold watch, a couple of books, my dagger... various bits and bobs. Emergency container of tea.
"Where are we?`What are we? Is that her fortress?"
I looked around before turning to the closest building, "In order? Earth, Humans, That's a school. In a English speaking country going by the sign."
"...Page? You seem kind of angry about something."
"Furious actually. Now let's go get your McGuffin back."
