This story is a sequel to Astral Prodigy
Created in an attempt to resemble an actual episode of the show. This is a Celestia-centrique 'episode'.
EnkuLiDae, also know as Cucumber, was defeated by the Elements of Friendship, but these have returned to their home in Ponyville. Now Celestia is left with a severely weak and bed-ridden sister as well as a capricious young stallion with more than three thousand years of time displacement and powers acquired from the astral plane of stars as well as two unknown alicorns.
Being in her custody and forbidden from leaving the castle grounds, the frightened Cucumber is the only one who can reveal what happened that he acquired such tremendous powers far beyond what was intended as well as who Queen Cosmium and King Astros are as no records of them exist in any library of pony, griffon, minotaur, or Saddle Arabian.
And if he truly is the one who unlocked the magical potential of ponies, then he might just become a true legend amongst pony kind...too bad he is completely terrified of modern magic and technology, not to mention the simple metal armor the guards wear. Oh no. A PAPER CLIP!
Takes place in the theoretical season 6
Best episode ever. 10/10 would watch again. I already love this work from description alone. This gunna be good

H-dow did you do that? You actually made a weather report seem interesting and establish the mood perfectly! I am impressed!
What happened to the old naught?
I did not know they made ballads about these guards. Quite surprised actually.
Okay, you're doing this on purpose now, aren't you?
I think you forgot a letter there chief.
So far it's been quite funny. I really love that you decided to go with Celestia- centric style here and she is just as amazing as ever. Love it!
No correction here. I just absolutely love general Bullseye and this line is absolutely and positutly amazing and hilarious!
My sentiments exactly. Also:

I may have used the badumtss joke too early.
Sound the trumpets Darkrim! Our glorious night regal is about to pay us all a great visit and conflict with Cucumber! I cannot wait for this part! I love this fanfic so far!

"Pinkie gives you candy. Get inside her van!" Sorry had to do that. i'll behave now
New guy (who is actually the old guy): 1, Celestia:0. You just got astral'd glitch!
Well, if Pinkie Pie didn't make it, then you'll know
(I have been watching way too much of mentally advanced for my own good . yes!)
Cucumber is best poiny! That was just perfect
And you leave me on a cliffhanger?! You cheat Pink--- I mean, me. But in all honesty, this was excellent. I am so glad you decided to continue the exploits of EnukLiDae. He seems like a very intriguing and complex character, not to mention his bickering and ways to make Celestia herself to shut up were simply divine. I love this guy so much. Somepony better give him all the cookies!
My favorite part was when he learned magic is really commonplace these days and that something that was once considered amazing and completely mind blowing can now be done by foals. It really brings up that conflict of the old vs new and kinda imposes a question of how our ancestors would see the world we have today.
Also, I love the reasoning behind the city. He wanted to advance technology as well. I think that if he had built a city dedicated to research or maybe even something like a mechanical wonder, that would have been agreeable. It's quite interesting how much of an understanding he has for everything, while at the same time retaining his childish nature. I am really intriguied by him.
Also, general Bullseye is just awesome. I cannot deny you that, he is runinng laps around the rest of the guards (pun intended). Also it's interesting what Celestia says about him because I had a similar line like that one in my unpublished work. I love when that happens!
Anyway, I must be cutting this comment short. i don't want to make it longer than the work itself, so I will just keep it short. Love the style, love the banter, love Celestia and I love Cucumber. Great chapter! Can't wait for more.
6474751 Well, Bullseye, paired with Motel, are one of my oldest OCs and both have dark backstories related to them. However, they still have some complex personalities and intricacies to them as well as a bond that will never be shattered.
