The Nord Smith

"By Ysmir, my head hurts! What happened?" I thought out loud. I remembered fighting the illusion of the pony creature before passing out from bloodloss. "Please don't let that be true..." I gasped, thinking I was dead.

I opened my eyes to see a giant marble hallway. "Great... just great..." I said aloud. I found that I was laying in some sort of hospital bed. I took the blankets off of me and I felt relieved to see that I was still in my armor, yet my blade was missing. I started to rise up from the bed, I was stopped by a voice.

"Halt! By order of Princess Celestia, you are to stay in your bed at all times!" Great... guards. Lets hope they're as stupid as the ones back home.

"Listen bud. I don't have time for this, and I bet you don't either." I retorted with a smirk.

"I have all day..." He answered quickly. I sighed, realizing that he wasn't going to give up that easily.

I realized that they didn't take my tools and other items, so I took out a quill and paper to start working on later projects, as it always helped me pass time. Every now and then, I saw the guard look over at my blueprints and then quickly look away. Many hours passed doing this, until I reasoned it was around 6:00.

"The princess would like to see you now. Mind your manners." He warned.

Putting away the items I had, I got out of the sheets and walked over to the guard. He opened the doors to a giant hallway.

"A bit over excessive, don't you think?" I joked. They stayed silent. "Buzz kills." I said under my breath. We arrived at a throne room at the end of the walk.

He bowed. "Here's the creature, your highness."

"Thank you. You may return to your post now." The royal figure said.

He backed away. "As you wish, your highness..."

So this is Celestia... Hmph. I thought.

"What brings you to this land, Miss Flandre?" She asked.

I took off my helmet. "I have no idea, but I think it might have to do with an 'Alicon'... And how do you know about my name?" I asked.

"It's called Alicorn," She corrected with a small smile. "As for how I know your name, that Alicorn was my sister Luna, and she told me about you." She stated.

"... So Luna sent me here?" I asked.

Celestia shook her head. "No, she didn't. She found you in the dream world and had to get you out after you passed out." I felt quite embarrassed after she said that. "You’ll also have to apologize to her."

"Wait... why?" I asked.

"You were quite rude when you met her, so I expect you to apologize for it." She still kept her calm voice, surprisingly. Just then, the door opened and I saw Luna again. "Go on..." She said.

I walked over to the Alicorn. "Sorry about insulting your kind..." I sighed and said under my breath.

"Excuse me?" She said.

I sighed again. "I'm sorry about insulting your kind... It was wrong of me." I said slowly. She stayed quiet at first, but then smiled.

"Apology accepted." She said, still smiling.

Now that that was over it was time to find out how I got here and how to get back. I drew out my journal and began to write.

I’ve... apologized... to Luna. I now need to ask Celestia about how to get home and how I got here in the first place. I wrote.

"Excuse me, Princess Celestia, but do you have any idea how to find a way back to my home land?" I asked hopefully.

"I’m not certain offhoof, and we are too busy with some political matters here to help you right now. However, there is a town just south of here called Ponyville. There, you can meet my former student, Twilight Sparkle. I'm sure she could help you." She answered. I wrote that down in my journal.

"Oh, and before I forget, do you have any supplies I could have or purchase? And where's my blade?"  I asked.

"Here, Take this map," She said as a map levitated towards me and I took it, "And Captain Armor will take you to your blade." An armored pony came from behind the throne and walked up to me.

He nodded towards me. "Follow me, Miss." I stayed silent and followed him.

"Good luck, Miss Flandre!" She said to me.

As I walked away, I heard her mumble something that sounded like, "Your gonna need it." After that, we exited the throne room.

We arrived at the basement and in the middle of the room I saw my blade on a small table. I ran over and grabbed it, gave it a few swings and sheathed it. After that, we walked outside to the huge city of Canterlot. Though, I didn't get to see most of the city, since we took a hidden passageway to outside of the city.

"Thanks again for showing me the way." I said to Captain Armor.

He smiled. "Don't mention it." And with that, he walked away back into the passageway.
