Tales of Courage
Chapter 1
Kirby's POV:
I was enjoying the sunset in a meadow in the middle of dreamland with Ribbon, but I couldn't shake out of my mind, and it was noticeable.
"you've been staring off into space ever since we got here, I know something is wrong. They assigned you as Dedede's parole officer again did they?" Ribbon joked trying to cheer me up.
Just then we saw a strange cloaked creature a few feet ahead. What is a zebra doing on Popstar? last time I checked they were native to earth. I pondered. The zebra turned to us and spoke surprisingly. "you are the hero who is curious about his past am I right? Do not fear me I don't want a fight." I couldn't hide my troubles any longer, "yes. I was separated from my parents since infancy and only recently started questioning these events." I answered.
"then you seek princess Celestia, the ruling monarch of a land
known as Equestria." Ribbon spoke out in a exited tone "you mean this woman might know something about Kirby's past?" the zebra nodded with a smile "in order for your power to be at its full peek, the embodiment of the mysterious 7th element is what you seek.", ok, that information came out of nowhere.
"what dose that have to do with anything?" I ask but she ignored my answer as a portal opened up " Ms. Sparkle is always willing to improve and learn, careful stepping through long distance portals might burn." she warned.
I still had so many questions, but I assumed that Celestia whoever she was would have answers as me, and Ribbon followed the strange zebra through the portal.
The portal took us to a grand hall with pillars and stain glass windows. The first thing I noticed stepping through the portal is that I was no longer in my normal form, I was a young pink alicorn (I study a lot of earth mythology, sue me) with a short red mane and tail, a strange image of a yellow star appeared on my flank.
Ribbon was a pink Pegasus with a long hot pink mane with a big red bow and tail, I assumed the image on her flank was a crystal shard, but I quickly turned away before I could make a clear observation (I'm not the kind of guy who looks at a girl that way, again sue me).
3 more alicorns stood in front of us, one looked like she was 15 assuming that horses in this world age the same as earth humans do. She had a light purple coat with a dark blue mane and tail with a purple streak in it. I didn't dare look at the image on her flank (or any of the others as a matter of fact), I was still mentally scolding myself for looking at my own girlfriend like that. My guess that she was 'Ms sparkle'
The second one had a beautiful white coat and a mane and tail of many turquoises and violets blowing in the non-existent wind that must be Celestia. I thought.
The last alicorn was male. He was the same height as Celestia, He had a dark blue coat, a purple mane and tail, a purple cape, and wore a gray mask. I recognized him in a instant.
"Meta-Knight? What are you doing here?" I ask shock, my mentor simply answered "I done some patrol work in Equestria and now I'm owed a favor, Zecora, Twilight, Ribbon, could you three wait outside? Me and Celestia would like to have a word with Kirby alone." the three of them obeyed and exited the grand doors.
"can you recall the legend of the star prince?" Meta ask me, "quite well actually." I answered, prepared to retell the legend "ten or eleven years ago, before Dedede came to power, Dreamland was ruled by the kind sir William. One day he traveled to a foreign kingdom and met a wise and beautiful regal princess, over time romance bloomed and a prince was born. However the celebration was cut short when the king heard news of Dreamland being under attack by nightmare. The king and princess new that the prince would be in danger if he stayed with his parents, so the king took his son and hid him in wispy woods, where the animals watched and protected him in secret. The king himself went into hiding."
"and now ten years later you have returned safe and sound." Celestia commented witch left me a bit confused until I put the pieces of the puzzle together. The fact that I, myself was an alicorn in this world, Zecora's advice about Celestia, the fact that Meta was the only star warrior who whore a mask.
I knew it was a ridiculous theory, but I had to know for sure, "mo… mother? F.. father?" they slowly but warmly nodded, I couldn't respond as I stood there, frozen in shock.
