I awoke again my vision back fully.I started to speak.
"Hello, i-is anyone here?"
Silence followed only to be broken by the same voice that sounded as if it were bringing protection.
"Yes, I am here.I see you have finally awoke once more."I heard the loud clapping noises that were too many to be feet but more rather...hooves if I had to guess.
"Please don't kill me or send me back!I don't want to die."Tears were in the corners of my eyes threatening to spill over as I started sniffling.
"I have no intention of harming you, little one."I could see the figure the spoke in such a soothe filled voice.She is all white and apparently four legs and with a horn protruding out of her head and two wings stretched out to a large span with flowing hair full of vibrant pink, green, and orange.
I was still cowering shaking slightly with eyes full of fear as she went to place a...hoof on me.I tried to squirm away but I couldn't due to being with all of my injuries and with the bandages over me.
"You don't need to worry any longer.I will keep you safe."She said in that same understanding voice as she put a hoof on the side of my face, which wasn't covered in bandages.
I calmed and was soothed by her gentle touch.I was starting to trust her.While my mind debated that, it went on leaving that thought behind.I thought of many questions and started to ask them being the curious young child I was.
"W-where am I?Are my parents here?"I asked fear returning into me as I remembered what had happened earlier.
She started up speaking again after giving my cheek a gentle rub before pulling her hoof back."You are in Equestia.Your parents are far from here as this is a different world."
I was taken back by her words before I continued speaking."How did I-I get here?Who are you?"My mind started to relax once I saw I could trust her.
"I crossed you over into this world in effort to save you.I had found you unconscious in the whitetail woods with snow all over you.I took you to my bedroom in Canterlot, one of the cities here, to ensure your safety,"I remained calm as she said this and she began again,"I am the ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia."
I looked around the room and noticed I was in a large bedroom, laying on the side of some huge bed that would be bigger than my own bedroom.
I spoke once more."Thank you for saving me from my parents," I started turning my field of vision back looking to her to notice a smile sprouted on her face,"they were about to...to."the tears had returned once more and flowed down my face as Celestia interrupted.
"I know all too well of what horrible people they were,"she sat on the bed and scooted next to me from the other side folding her hooves in as she looked over at me,"it is why I decided to intervene and bring you into Equestria.So you can start a new life, a better one.I was watching your world and learned from you,"she said and a long silence followed after until she asked me a question,"What is your name and what are you?"
I willingly responded finding I could trust Celestia,"My..my name is Amos, and I am a human."I started to crack a smile at her.
"What an interesting name.But , you aren't from here so I shouldn't be surprised."
I started to feel exhausted realizing I never got any real sleep.I closed my eyes the smile slowly slipping as I fell asleep.
When I awoke I noticed Celestia was no longer in the room and I was alone as the sun shone brightly through the curtains of the balcony rather than earlier it being night.I started to speak to myself.
"For once...I didn't have a bad dream."I smiled but it soon disappeared as the door opened and I saw Celestia walk in but I heard many other sounds of hooves clattering on the floor even as she walked around and sat on the bed next to me just as she had last night.Fear set into my mind as my heart slowly sped up thumping as I looked away from Celestia and toward the sounds of the other hoof-steps.I saw six small horses which I assumed were ponies.I quickly looked back to Celestia worry obviously in my eyes.She smiled that calming smile and some of the weariness fled but it was still there.The hoof-steps were all around me as they stopped and I looked to my left which a lavender pony was at with purple hair..er...mane and a pink strip in it with a horn standing out from it.The unicorn as they call it was near my face.I looked down further knowing there were many more eyes set on me.An orange pony without any extra appendages was standing next to the purple unicorn with what I assumed was a cowboy hat and a blonde mane tied and a ponytail with the string being at the end.Further down was a pink pony with puffs of hair over hanging her face and being shaped as cotton candy which was a vibrant pink.She wore a smile and was obviously excited.After her was a cyan pony with wings folded up and a colorful rainbow mane.She looked cautious and a little intimidated as she stared down at me.I lifted my head up slightly so I wouldn't be in any more pain than I already am.I saw another unicorn having a pure white coat and a horn to match with a purple mane that curled and obviously looked like a good amount of time was spent on stylizing it.Next to the white unicorn was another pegasus, as I recalled who had long pink hair falling down her face covering most of it and a butter yellow coat.
Celestia was first to speak when she noticed I was done inspecting them.
"Amos, these are my closest pupils.You can trust them."My heart rested as her words came to me in a motherly tone but there was just still a small amount of weariness in me.
The orange one was first to speak after Celestia nodded to them, signalling to introduce themselves to me.
"Howdy there!"she spoke loudly at first then lowered her voice a little,"Mah name is Applejack, pleased ta meet cha'."she then smiled at me.
Not long after the pink pony next to her started to speak in a hyper voice as she got close to me."HI!I'm Pinkie Pie but, just call me Pinkie.I am always so excited to meet someone new.Ooh, we need to throw a party for you!I can see it already.We are going to be the best of friends!"she said in all one breath as she was pulled away by Applejack.
"Sorry, Pinkie always gets excited when she meets someone new."Applejack said laughing a fake laugh for a second after.
The lavender unicorn spoke next."Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle but, just call me Twilight,"she had spoken calmly and continued,"I am Princess Celestia's personal student."I nodded and right after she had spoke the cyan pegasus began.
"I'm Rainbow Dash.Best flier in all of Equestria!"she boasted.I thought over and had come to a conclusion that she didn't use manners most of the time and thought of what she would be like.Before I came to some summary the white unicorn spoke up.
"Hello, I am Rarity.Best designer in Ponyville,"she said elegantly.Ponyville?I thought it must be some sort of city or town,"We simply must get you some proper clothes!You will be needing them after all!"she ended sounding concerned over my apparel than my health.The last of them, the yellow pegasus spoke.
"H-hi, I'm Fluttershy..,"her voice trailed off and I gave a confused look and she started again"I'm Fl-Fluttershy"she said barely loud enough I could hear her.
I looked over at Celestia and she smiled before nodding telling me to introduce myself.
"H-hi, everyo...everypony.I'm Amos."I said, nervously.
Celestia began talking to me specifically but loud enough so all could hear,"I already told them how you got hear, who you are, and what you are."
I yawned, my body telling me I needed sleep to continue healing as keeping my eyes open was a struggle.Celestia began speaking once more,"You all should probably go now and let him rest knowing what he has been through."The six ponies left through the room as Celestia got up standing and coming closer to me on the other side.I said to her soon after.
"After I sleep some more could i get something to eat and drink...I haven't eaten or drank in three days,"Celestia nodded smiling and she turned around to leave before I grabbed her shoulder and began speaking once more,"No, don't leave.I don't want to be lonely." She turned back towards me away from the door with the same caring smile.I wrapped my arm around her neck before pulling her closer into a half hug.She was shocked at my sudden movement before she carefully wrapped her hooves around me."Thank you so much for saving me."I said before I closed my eyes and I felt her let go of me.I heard her walk over to where a couch was and sit down peacefully before sleep claimed me.
