/2 Years, 4 Months, 2 Weeks before Season One\
It has been two weeks since his encounter with the Ursa Major. He was still sulking at the fact that True Sage made him get hit by a flying tree. But to be fair, Kurat decided that "let's go into a scary large cave, nothing bad will happen!" And something did happen.
Kurat was seen over a pot, stirring it with utmost precision. He was making… Curry. He added herbs and other spices he found and followed True Sage's instructions. He was using deadly precision to add the right amount of Water, Herbs and Spices, in watching the fire to not overcook his curry. This focus could have been used for studying, but Kurat is a child, a crazy/wants to die child.
"Ok, add these… a bit of that…"
Kurat took a spoon and tasted a sample of his curry.
*Slurps*
"Ahh~ like how Mama used to make it."
After Kurat finished stirring his curry, he took a bowl and scooped up the curry for him to eat.
Kurat began to munch, but after a few bites, he realised something!
"Sh*t, this needs meat." Kurat was eating a curry that had no meat and was mostly potato and herbs. It was still delicious, but he wanted more.
"Hey Sage? Is there a way for me to turn into a mysterious pony, walk into Ponyville and buy a chicken?" Kurat asked with a straight face.
[No]
[First, you do not need meat because of your pony biology, and humans can live a while without meat. Second, did you really think trying to be mysterious in Ponyville is a good idea? Remember Pinkie Pie? Third, Fluttershy is the only one that owns chickens there, and I am basing it from your knowledge]
Kurat listened and sighed. He couldn't get meat anytime soon… wait.
"What about animals from the EverFree? Like Hydras? There is that chicken that turns you into stone, and-"
True Sage cuts him off.
[One, no. Two, stupid idea, you fought a Hydra before and know how deadly they can be, and that chicken, is a curse if you ask me. Just turn into a Pony, Alicorn preferably, and eat your curry]
"Aww man…. So no meat for me?" He asked in a high pitched voice.
[No meat for you Kurat]
"Dang it-"
Just as Kurat was going to turn into his Alicorn form to not need meat, a scroll appeared in front of his face.
*Shing!*
"Waa!" Kurat stumbled back a bit, knocking his bowl over. Kurat was confused on how and why a letter was sent to him. He paused his transformation and picked up the scroll, but not before sulking at his ruined lunch.
Kurat opened the scroll. "Hmm, it says this is from…. CELESTIA!!" Kurat jumped back a bit, rereading the same line over and over.
"Ok, OOK! The Sun Princess sent me a letter. One, how? Two, why? And Three, what should I do?!
[To Answer your questions, Celestia used the frequency from your Sonic Boom to estimate where you would be, and because her royal guard confirmed to her that you exist, she was able to set some coordinates to send the letter, how the letter came was all luck. Next, she probably wants to speak to you, not face to face, as she was also told that you were nowhere to be found, guessing that you hid. And Last, you should read the letter. It could build trust or fear, depending on the content in the scroll]
Kura looked back to the scroll, and opened it wide, starting to read the scroll.
Hello to whoever you are, my name is Celestia. First, I would like to inform you that I mean no harm or ill will against you in any shape or form. If possible, I would like for you to allow me to visit, that way, we can build trust. I know this seems straightforward, but if my reports are correct, you did defeat the Hydra, or is there a detail that I am missing?
To: Mysterious Entity
Kura finished the letter and many questions popped into his head. 'Celestia wants to meet me? Why did she send this letter?' 'She seems friendly on paper, but I won't know until I meet- no wait! I must remain hidden until then.'
Kurat went to the library and grabbed an empty piece of paper, grabbed a pencil and started to write, only pausing as he had no clue on what to tell Celestia, nor how to send it to her.
"She can't visit, that's a must. She knows about the Hydra, probably from her spies or her royal guard, and she called me an entity… to be fair, she is not far off." Kurat kept thinking out loud on what he should do until True Sage gave him an Idea.
(A/N: remember when Sage said that he could be a test for Twilight and her friends? It was only an if)
[If I would like to recommend, you should send a letter back]
"Oh yeah? And how am I supposed to do that? I don't know the-" Kurat was cut off.
[I have already deciphered the spell. Remnants of its aura remained, enough for me to analyse and replicate. In short, you can send letters to Celestia now via using your Magic Aura or just burning the letter via fire]
Kurat looked back at the letter and sighed. "Alright, what do I say? Because I do NOT want to meet her, at least not yet." He exclaimed.
[First, find some paper to write on, how are you supposed to send a letter without a letter? Second, you must write it on your own]
"What?! Aren't you going to help?" Kurat asked. He has zero knowledge on sending letters to girls.
[No, she wants to receive a message from you, not me. Plus, after you send this letter, we need to have a serious talk]
*sighs*
"Alright…"
…..
Kurat arrived at the Library, got some paper and a pencil and started to write his letter back to Celestia.
"Hmm, what should I start with….I GOT IT!!"
Dear Princess Celestia,
If you got my letter, it means that I am not ready for a face to face conversation. I am comfortable alone, and yes, I did kill the Hydra.
From, Entity
After Kurat finished writing his letter, he asked for True Sage's approval. True Sage said that the letter was not very informative, looking like a pre-school letter, but allowed it.
[Now send it]
Kurat nodded and snapped his fingers, burning the letter, seeing it turn into his (A/C), and dissipating into thin air. Kurat was pleased with his hard work and immediately went to finish his food.
(A/N: A/C = Aura Colour)
[Now for that talk]
Kurat stopped in his tracks, "right, right. What did you wanna talk about?"
[First, rude. Second, I want a name]
"Huh?"
[You heard me, I want a name. Calling me Sage or True Sage is a mouth full that even you can agree with]
"No, Sage is fine by me." Kurat explained.
[I want a name]
"Sage… you and I both know how naming works in Tensura. If I name you, I lose a large amount of my Magicules, and I might faint. Plus, what do I even name you as?" Kurat asked. Kurat just wanted to hurry back to his curry, it was getting cold.
[I know the consequences, and I also know that I have a chance to evolve into a Manas. But, as I am not an Ultimate Skill yet, it would only serve as a place holder name, only truly becoming my soul name once I evolve. And as for my name… I want to be called Adam]
Kurat listened for a second, "Adam? Like the First Man? From the Bible?"
[Yes, either that, or Eve]
"Sage… Eve is a female name… why?" Kurat asks with a confused voice.
[Simple: from your memories, you are very afraid of women, maybe that's why you couldn't approach your crush, or any girl in general]
An invisible arrow struck his head, making Kurat angry. "Why do you have to roast my romance life every single time?"
[It is funny. Now choose, Adam or Eve? And I can name myself if you can't come to a decision, but it held less power and meaning if I do]
"Umm…" Kurat was thinking hard. Should he name Sage after roasting him for the Xth time? Sage did mention that if he does not name him, Sage would name himself, and True Sage might name himself Eve, just to strike fear into his heart.
After a considerable amount of time later->
"Alright, you are now Adam" Kurat Said.
[Receiving Name: Adam]
[Unique Skill: True Sage does not meet the requirements to evolve into a Manas]
[Adam will be set as a place holder name until Unique Skill: True Sage evolves into the Ultimate Level]
[End of Naming process]
A large amount of Magicules left Kurat's body, he felt dizzy for a while, his legs shaking, like they were about to give up. Kurat held his head like he had blood rushing to his head , but after taking one step…
*Thud!*
Kurat passed out from the large Magicule consumption.
[Host: Kurat, has lost 99% of his Magicules, including Magicule Reserves]
[Estimated time until full recovery…2 Hours and 23 Minutes]
[Requesting the Voice Of The World to receive Unique Skill: Genius]
[Sacrificing Unique Skill: Genius to gain Unique Skill: Magicule Reactor]
[...]
[Fail]
[Re-try]
[Fail]
[Re-try]
[Fail X1,000]
[Re-try X 1,001]
…..
After a long battle of failing and re-trying…
[Successful!]
[Kurat Melenia Granted: Unique Skill: Magicule Reactor]
(A/N: Unique Skill: Genius was supposed to be gained by Kurat after he read hundreds of books, learning and True Sage, now named Adam, recording every single piece of knowledge, but Adam locked the Skill, telling Kurat that he "rejected the Skill", when in reality, was a piece needed for another Skill. Adam had planned this for a while now)
....
[Kurat Melenia is close to waking up]
"Mmm~ Believer… pain… let the bullets fire, let them rain…" Kurat was sleep talking, or sleep singing. Adam found this hilarious.
[Image Captured]
[Wake up Kurat]
Kurat got up, dazed. "Huh? Wha-what happened Sage?" Kurat asked.
[I am not Sage or True Sage, I am Adam]
"Huh, alright. Before I guess that my food is already cold and probably eaten by ants, can you tell me what happened to me, how long was I out? What did you do? That sort of reports."
[First, my name was set as a place holder until I evolved. Second, I helped you gain the Unique Skill: Magicule Reactor. Same principles as Magicule Breeder Reactor, but you will not gain the energy: Stardust. But this skill is sufficient enough]
After Adam finished his report, Kurat was both shocked and very curious on how Adam got the skill, but after thinking about it, he decided to just forget about it and enjoy his new broken skill.
"Huh, ok then, not questioning you there, about my sleep question?"
[You were out for 1 hour. It was supposed to be 2 Hours and 23 minutes, but Magicule Reactor fastened the recovery]
"Ok…. Another broken skill added to the arsenal of broken skills… will this kill me?" Kurat asked with a worried voice.
[No]
[Because of me sacrificing one of your Unique Skills-]
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
[Let me finish]
"WAIT JUST A SECOND-MMMMM, MMMMMM!!" Kurat was muted by Adam.
[As I was saying before being rudely interrupted, I sacrificed your Unique Skill: Genius, to gain the Unique Skill: Magicule Reactor. This is only possible if your body has less than 1% of total Magicules, this includes your reserves, and a Unique Skill sacrifice]
Kurat was then unmuted and…
"Huh?" Kurat was very confused.
"Since when did I get a Unique Skill like that?"
[Remember when I said that I "rejected" you from gaining a new Unique Skill? I lied and locked it instead, seeing its properties and knew that it could be used for a greater purpose]
"Uhhhhhhhhhh-what? So, you lied? And used it without my consent?"
[Yes]
[It was needed, as knowing you, you would tried something stupid]
Kura was very pissed off and confused. True Sage-I mean Adam, just admitted to giving up a, what sounds like, a cool Skill, for another, which he was thankful for, but still!
"Ok Adam, we need to lay some ground rules."
[No]
[If you won't listen to my warnings and go off doing something stupid, then I will also do what I want]
"WH-OI!!! I WAS CURIOUS!!" Kurat protested.
[Curiosity killed the cat. Your curiosity could have killed the both of us]
"WHAT, NO-" Kurat paused, he couldn't think of a counter argument and just sighed.
"Alright, fine. You win Adam…"
*sigh…*
....
Kurat returned to the throne room and saw his food covered in ants. A tick mark appeared on his forehead and he threw the whole pot, and his bowl of once delicious curry away. Kurat got into his futon, looking up and seeing the day still bright. He sighed again and just closed his eyes, thinking of ways to find a proper reason for Adam to be so strict to him…
….
In Canterlot->
We see Celestia finished reading the letter sent from the Entity *coughs* Kurat *coughs*.
Celestia puts down the scroll and finishes eating her chocolate chip cookie. 'Hmm, interesting. It seems the "Entity" is not ready for a formal conversation.' Celestia thought and she reached for another cookie.
