Suddenly, Princess Celestia! [Open]

[sunlightsister]

Celestia had lived a long life, but the past few days were the strangest she had ever experienced. She had awoken from a pod in a strange chamber, only to find herself whisked away to a strange maze soon after.

This maze had had her most concerned - as Princess of all Equestria, she had duties and responsibilities, after all. She could only hope that her sister Luna was managing on her own, and do her best to escape this maze and return to her beloved subjects.

Escape came unexpectedly though, when Celestia found herself suddenly dropped from the mess hall ceiling, where she landed on top of one of the tables with a thud, her hooves sending plates and trays and cutlery flying in all directions. Have a rather elegant pony - or perhaps a horse? - with a long horn on her forehead, graceful wings adorning her back, and a mane and tail that was a multicolour and gravity-defying sight standing on your table, diners, looking rather bewildered.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I hope I didn't ruin your meal," she said, with a chuckle. Then she looked around at her surroundings, her expression turning concerned. "Now this doesn't look at all like Equestria..."

"Oh you're a pony?"

This one's many hands taller and much lither (and shinier, and winged) than the other pony Nima has met. Are the others juveniles of the species, or is this a different breed entirely?

"I don't mean to sound rude -" because whatever this pony creature is, she's obviously sentient and her bearing is quite dignified - "but I've never heard of Equestria, and I've traveled all over the Four Nations. But might I be right in saying you probably haven't heard of them either?"

"Yes - I am Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria alongside my dear sister Luna. All ponies are my beloved subjects."

And Nima's confusion is understandable - Celestia is indeed different to the other ponies of Equestia. Her larger build and possession of both wings and horn are a sign of her royal status - perhaps calling her a different breed would indeed be the most accurate.

"It is no rudeness to not know something, my fellow creature," Celestia said with warm amusement. "Nopony can possess knowledge of everything, after all!" Although Celestia's prize pupil had certain made valiant attempts to try.. "And I'm afraid you are correct - the Four Nations are unfamiliar to me as well."

"How very true!"

Regal, AND apparently possessed of wisdom. What a magnificent creature indeed!

"Well, your Highness, unfortunately what I do know is very sad. I know you won't wish to hear it once you do."

In spite of Celestia's magnificence, Nima's face has gone very solemn, very fast.

With a flutter of her wings, Celestia gracefully hopped off of the table to settle on the floor beside Nima. "Nopony ever wishes to be sad, but we all must experience sadness," Celestia said, just as solemn herself. Her own disappearance from Equestria was sign enough that powerful forces were at work here, and she did not doubt that what Nima had to tell her would be something of great magnitude. "Please, tell me what you know."
