A True Peace

Chapter 4

Luna landed on a dirt road outside of Ponyville. She looked and tiredly said, “You’re too heavy for thou to continue flying”.

“I apologize,” I said still cold from the high altitude.

We walked down the peaceful road, I spoke up trying to break the awkward silence, I spoke quietly, “Thank you Ms. Luna”, she stopped and looked at me slightly confused, I continued, “If it wasn’t for you I would have died under that old oak tree and my friend would have surely died on her own. You didn’t have to save but you did and I am eternally be indebted to you, thank you.” She smiled at me still walking. I continued, “I am also grateful you fixing my leg and healing wounds.”

“The bandage is just a quick fix for now, we didn’t want to perform surgery on an already “on the edge” patient. Instead I fixed up your clothes but I couldn’t figure out what to do with your coat. After a thousand years you learn some valuable skills.”

. “I still can’t believe you are over a thousand years old, you look so young. I mean in my world the only creatures that live even close to that are super mutants and ghouls but they only live 200-300 years at best.”

She looked at me kind of confused, “What are super mutants and ghouls? They sound horrible.”

“Basically the same thing that caused my lung problems can also create ghouls and super mutants, except that instead of only slightly like me, the mutants and ghoul are affected severely and quickly changing their physique and intelligence.” I explained.

We arrived at the small cottage near the Everfree forest. Luna knocked on the door gently with her hoof. The door opened slowly revealing a small white rabbit holding the door. “Hello Angel, Where is Fluttershy?” Luna politely asked. He hopped outside with us and led us around the house opening a small fence gate that only came up to my knees. I looked around the corner to see three small ponies: yellow pony with red hair, a white unicorn with pink and purple hair, and an orange pegasi with purple hair, playing with twilight while a light yellow pony waved at us to come over.

“Is this your dog sir?” Fluttershy asked kind of excited, “I’ve never seen a dog like that before, and she’s so big.”

I explained, “She’s a German shepherd, and she’s only a couple months old, she will get much bigger. Her name is Twilight by the way. I found her not to long after she was born.”

She looked at me in surprise. “Oh my goodness, she’s already as big as the other dogs I’ve seen and she’s so friendly.”

I leaned over to Twilight and scratched her behind her ears she started panting happily. The three little ponies from before looked at me amazed, the yellow one spoke up in a slightly country accent, “Umm, who are you and what exactly?”

“My name is Ulysses and I am a human from Earth another planet in your universe.” I said smiling and don’t worry I’m friendly.” I crouched down, holding out my hand “And your names?”

She got excited and stated loudly, “My name is Apple Bloom, the white one is Sweetie Bell, and the poudy one is Scootaloo, and we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders.” Scootaloo Shouted “Hey!” I couldn’t help but smile at the girls. So innocent in nature they seemed.

“Well we must be on our way.” Luna spoke softly but sternly. Fluttershy and the girls seemed sad but still smiling.

“Oh well, come on girls we need to go Applejack needs our help at the farm.” Apple Bloom spoke up.

“Well goodbye Ulysses, if you need any help with Twilight let me know.” Fluttershy said happily. She walked back into her house.

Luna and I walked outside of the yard. “I’m going to put a special spell on you that Celestia and myself developed that can turn any creatures temporarily into a pony. I believe that it will make your visit here a lot easier till you and the ponies are comfortable with each other. Are you ready?” Luna explained.

“I suppose, so what kind of pony will I be?” I asked.

“It will depend on your personality.” Luna explained. “Ready?”

“Yes”

Luna’s horn glowed brightly and I felt a wave of cold air surround my body. My clothes disappeared from my body. I had fallen on my knees then down on all fours. I felt a sharp pain in my forehead, like a nail piercing my skull. The pain was paired with a splitting pain on top of both my shoulder blades. They burned just like my forehead like the bones were splitting. I passed out from the pain.

I woke up lying on my side I tried to stand up like the human I was used to and fell on my back. I shook my head and stood up. I saw Luna staring at me with a look of awe on her face. On all fours, I rubbed my forehead to see a bright white hoof bump into my head. I moved it up higher to where the pain was earlier and felt a sharp horn protruding from my head. I still had feeling in my hands, I mean hooves, my braids were still there but much shorter pulled back.

“Can I have a mirror?” I asked quietly still not believing what happened. Luna used her magic to produce a large full body mirror. I looked in the mirror expecting to see myself saw a fairly large bright white Unicorn with large wings; my braids were now black instead of brown and pulled back. My eyes, bright green. My muzzle was grey.

Luna spoke up “I’ve never seen the spell produce an Allicorn, this is very strange but also very interesting I will tell the princess of this. Go ahead and try to fly, it is not as hard as it looks.” I looked at my sides and spread my white wings. I started flapping them and before I thought I had enough lift I pushed myself high into the air above the tree canopy. Surprised at how light I felt, I saw Luna take off and start flying toward Ponyville. I took off after her never feeling so powerful in my life.
