[ SO! Another new arrival to add to the ranks of those already here, though she looked a bit troubled as she wandered the streets of Traverse Town. In her left hand she held the communicator as she scanned her surroundings, while in the right she clutched a pouch of keys to her chest, mostly for comfort. ]

This is too weird, but if not for Edolas, I might have not believed the possibility of a place like this. Still, I really can't - [ Stop talking to yourself Lucy, people will think you're crazy. She directs her attention to the network with a hesitant look at first, and then a quick smile. ]

Those cute little flying ...bears creatures - Moogles I think you call them? They told me about this place - and frankly it's a bit much to take in, but -- more importantly, I'm hoping I'm not the only one here from my world. And since I can communicate with other people over this lachryma -- I mean communicator.. if anyone has seen or heard my friends, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Happy or Wendy and Charle -- I'd like to know.

As for myself, I'm Lucy, a Celestial Mage from Fairy Tail. Nice to meet you!~ [ Wow that was awkward. But it's a start. ]

Perhaps it is simply because Equestria is an old land, but most areas of magic have been explored fairly extensively.

[celestial_wizard]

I see. How old is your Equestria?

[letteropener]

Many centuries. To be honest, I'm not perfectly sure; much of our history was thrown into disarray thanks to the reign of a spirit of chaos and disharmony. But I can vouch for well over a thousand years after that.

[celestial_wizard]

I guess after a thousand years there's only so much magic created. Maybe though, there are some branches of magic that were lost? Some of the wizards back home specialize in lost magics, like Dragon Slayer or Time magic.

[letteropener]

Magic such as time manipulation is very rare, and generally wielded only by the most powerful and skilled ponies, it's true. I wouldn't call them 'lost', though, merely esoteric and rare.

[celestial_wizard]

Hm. I think the Lost magics where we're from are lost mainly because the people who practiced it almost completely died out. They're hundreds and thousands of years old - the Dragon Slayer arts were taught by actual dragons, when they were around.

[letteropener]

Luckily, we have a great deal of history preserved. One of our greatest masters of magic, Star Swirl the Bearded, has had many of his works preserved since before Equestria was even founded.

[celestial_wizard]

That -is- lucky. I'm glad that he was able to do that - it's terrible when you lost touch with some of your own culture because it wasn't written down - or what was written down was lost.

[letteropener]

It IS lucky, and I've done my best to ensure his works and as many others as possible survive.

[celestial_wizard]

I've no doubt you've succeeded in that.

You mentioned you have a connection with celestial bodies yourself - what did you mean?

[letteropener]

Back home, my duty is to raise the sun each day.

[She says it so casually, too.]

[celestial_wizard]

You... raised the sun...?

[ ........that is the weirdest statement she's heard yet. ]

I guess it must be strange for you to hear about places where the sun raises on its own. Or in a place where it seems to be night all the time like here.

[letteropener]

Strange is putting it mildly. Every morning I still try, just by reflex. I've been doing it far too long to stop even when I know it is futile.
