It has been 2 months since Kurat learned how to fly and obtained Infinite Regeneration. He was currently sorting through his memories when a thought came to his head.
"Hey Sage? Is it possible to re-create all the Manga and Novels I have ever read? I finished Naruto, Bleech, One Piece, and other amazing books. Also, how many more years before the start of season one? Do not give me a detailed analysis, just the years."
[First: It is possible to re-create all those works you have mentioned. Second: It will be 4 Years before Season One, or more precisely, 4 Years and 9 Month]
Kurat got up with an idea, "so theoretically, if I bring you a bunch of empty paper, you can theoretically make all those manga?" Kurat asked with a hint of excitement.
[Yes. But would- hold on.]
True Sage paused to sensed Kurat's surroundings. "Umm, Sage? What's the hold up?" Kurat asked, but this time with worry.
[I sense a group of Ponies nearing our location, a few Unicorns and Pegasus to be precise]
Kurat got up in fear and worry, "wha-WHAT! Why are there ponies coming here?! This is the EverFree forest!! No Pony has the guts to venture here!"
[You are right, but from the looks of it, it must be the Royal Guard. And since the nearest Royal Area is Canterlot, it must be the Canterlot Royal Guard]
Kurat was even more nervous, what would happen if they found him? What would they do? "Sage! Please tell me why they are here, while I turn back into a pony, a Unicorn to not be suspicious!"
[Answer: it was because of your Sonic Boom. A burst of energy left your body, spreading out, about a 10KM radius. Thankfully, it is not strong enough to alert regular ponies, and unicorns. But Alicorns can detect it, so Celestia might have felt it and sent her Royal Guard to investigate. As to my question on why they took 2 months, she thinks it could either be the arrival of a new ally, or a new enemy. Safe to say, you should hide.]
Kurat turned into a Unicorn and threw his futon and other necessities away, hiding them under rubble to make sure. He galloped fast downstairs and into the library. He made sure to close the Library's door shut.
Kurat quickly pushed a bunch of books onto himself. He was currently sweating in both anxiety and fear.
[Kurat, you do know that hiding behind underneath a bunch of books will not help right? It would be better if you used the invisibility spell you learned]
"Ah, right… but won't it drain my Magicules every second I hold up the invisibility? I do not want to be caught Sage!" Kurat quickly ran from his books and hid underneath a table, using his levitation to arrange the books in a way that no one could see him without pushing the books away. Kurat smirked at his hiding place.
"Heh, I am invisible, I am invisible, I am-" True Sage cut him off.
[*sighs*]
[If you get caught, my threat will activate immediately Kurat…]
Kurat remembered the threat from months ago and quickly nodded his head. He hid low, asking Sage for reports every now and then.
…..
We now transition to the group of ponies currently walking towards the ruined castle.
"Alright ponies, from what Princess Celestia has said, there is something over at the old castle, we do a survey of the area, see any abnormalities, and if we find any, we leave and report back, understood?" A Pony Captain said. The other ponies agreed and started to cross the old bridge, Pegasus flew across and held the rope, in case the bridge collapsed.
Once they got over, the Captain ordered the Pegasus to search the outside, while he and the unicorns searched inside.
…..
[A group of Unicorns have entered the building]
[A group of Pegasus are currently scouting the area outside]
Kurat heard Sage's report and started to breathe rapidly. 'Ok, ooook. Other Ponies are here, no big deal! No, big freaking deal!' Kurat was panicking mentally. He really was an introvert.
*Creak*
The Library doors opened, and stepped in 2 Unicorns. They started to check the Library, trying to find any hints that there is something living here.
"Hey Tundra?" A male voice spoke.
"Yeah Rain?" A female voice spoke back.
"Do you think that maybe Princess Celestia was a bit paranoid about the whole 'there is something or somepony at the Ruined Castle'? Because from the looks of it, no pony has been here in ages." Rain Spoke.
Tundra gave a glare at Rain. "Of course she's not! She's the Princess for Celestia's Sake! If she says there is something, or somepony here, then there is something here." Tundra spoke back to Rain. Rain just sighed and continued to look around, looking bored as he did. Tundra was checking where she could, but spotted nothing.
"Huh, nothing here. Rain, go report back to the captain, no abnormalities in the old Library." Tundra told Rain.
Rain just sighed and walked out, "yeah, yeah, I got it. Are you coming?" Rain asked Tundra.
Tundra gave one more look around the library and nodded at Rain, the duo left the Library, closing the doors behind them.
….
Kurat stumbled out, his legs shaking and his breath quickening. "Tha-that was t-to close for comfort!"
[I am quite surprised that neither of them checked under the mountain of books, or under the table you hid under. Either it was sheer dumb luck, or they were poorly trained in surveying the area]
"Look, all that matters is that I was not found. And look! They closed the doors after they left, it's almost like God has given me his luck just for this moment!"
Kurat was still in shock but tried to calm himself down by telling himself that divine intervention saved his flank.
[I can't think of other reasons at the moment. Also I did more analysis of your skills, specifically your Adaptability, and I must say, it is, in your words, 'OverPowered'. If you would like, I can lock it. Its properties are similar to Traveller and Void]
Kurat heard True Sage's suggestion and thought for a moment. 'Hmm, I mean… I never really use it, and having a giant wheel on my head would look weird, but the power it wields….. but Shrine and Limitless are broken enough.'
After a quick thought, Kurat asked True Sage to lock his Adaptability Skill unless he was in a 'do or die' situation. "Plus it would be cool to shout out while I am fighting, "MAHORAGA!!!" and the wheel would appear on my head~" Kurat concluded his speech with him turning back into a Human.
[Understood]
[Locking Unique Skill: Adaptability]
[It is done]
Kurat gave a smile and thanked True Sage.
[Also, the group is leaving. Either they found traces of you, or found nothing. I am willing to bet on the former]
"Ah, I see." Kurat gulped a bit before leaving the Library.
…..
Kura made it to the throne room and saw his futon out in the open.
"Welp, looks like they have something. Oh, I hope that Celestia does not come after me…" Kurat thought of the amount of questions Celestia would ask him. The thought made his back shiver in fear.
[I do not think the Sun Princess would come immediately after knowing you are real. She might see this as a test for Twilight in the future]
"A Test? Really?" Kura questioned True Sage.
[Yes, from your memories, Twilight and her friends are often put into dangerous situations to "solve" it together with the power of Friendship, but seeing that you could not even get a girlfriend, they might fail this test]
An invisible arrow pierced Kurat's heart. He set up his futon and laid down, still holding his heart. "That hurts you know!"
Kurat complained.
[Just get some rest, we have more work to do tomorrow]
Kurat sighed and pulled the covers over himself. He thought about his near close encounters, Sage's hurtful comments, and the future.
