The purple horned horse woman grabbed my hand and proceeded with the handshake by lightly clenching down on my hand before moving our hands up and down.

I can tell that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

"Greetings young one, I am Viktor Rhino of the Tenno Order, it is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance and those of your friends." But to the horses all they heard was strange hisses and echoes.

Everyone that was in the hall way was quiet, none of them knew what to expect or what was going to happen next but in that moment of time, everything was clear for the future of both Tenno and alien horses.

Seeing how we both just said something I decided that now would be the time to start talking and what better way to discuss the future between Tenno and alien horses is with a nice chat...but how would one go about doing that when I don't have my dojo to return to and I doubt that these alien horses would want me to follow them somewhere.

As I was busy trying to think of ways for us to communicate the horned horse was thinking as well because she was tapping her muzzle with her left hand, making humming sounds all the while doing so.

I didn't have to wait long for her to look up at me all the while smiling before turning to her friends and shouted something and for a moment nothing happened until the five other alien horses started to walk closer to us before stopping short a few feet away from their friend, the purple iguana quickly jogged over to the purple horse before me and handed to her a bunch of what I presume to be blank paper along with an entire canister of ink and a quill.

It is a sad day when the species I am communicating with are still using feather and ink to write things down, how have they not invented the more advanced writing utensils like a pencil or a pen or even a data-pad?

When the iguana passed the blank paper and other accessories to the purple horse and when she turned to face me and I could only assume that she wanted to try communicating with me through writing.

'Huh...this might work if she can write in Orokin...highly doubt that but if it is close I might be able to work with it.'

Waiting for her to write something first I watched as her horn glowed an iridescent purple hue and strangely enough the quill that was in the iguana's hand floated into the air along with the container holding a black liquid as the quill's tip dipped into the jar and was soon replaced by the blank paper. The horned horse started to write something down and with great patience I watched as the quill wobbled back and forth before she set it aside in that strange purple aura as she passed the paper to me to read.

I really wish I could understand their written language but due to being a different species that could possibly be in either an alternative dimension or across the galaxy, I am just surprised that the planet is oxygen-rich and that if I were to leave my transference chamber I can leave the ship and breath the air without any need for a filtration system.

'So this is their written language...its a bit thick and bold, almost like the Grineer but it is more flowing and rounded out with some symmetric lines...it is almost like a mixture of the Orokin, Corpus and Grineer although I can't read any of this.'

Shrugging my shoulders at the sight of their written language I took the written on scroll, scroll and jar of what I assume is ink before attempting to write something down.

Now I know that writing something down is a key step for this procedure but sadly I have never written anything down before and I know for a fact that my handwriting will be terrible. In fact I know that all Tenno are lacking in varying parts in the education department due to us being trained to kill our enemies with our warframes...those that knew how to read or write were rare seeing how most of us were children with me and a few hundred others being an exception because we were older.

Thinking back to a time when I could write down a coherent sentence and using that as a source material to help me write in the language of my abusive adoptive family, I started to write down the flowing silhouettes, the elegant curves in the lines, the way how the consonants are the lines while the vowels are hovering slightly above said lines.

Only problem with my writing is that even I am having a bit of a hard time understand what I am writing. The ink keeps bleeding out and away from the letters I am writing and it is mixing the words I am forming into slightly bloated blotches.

Writing in ink sucks...wish I had something better to write with, or maybe a means of mental communication, see if that would make this any easier on the both of us.

While I was busy trying to write a simple sentence I turned my attention away from the paper for a second to cast my gaze at the seven aliens before me, or more importantly the iguana as I watched its cheeks puff out before he belched out a cloud of green fire just as the fire swirled around before imploding on itself and transformed itself into a tightly wrapped up scroll. Seems like the distress signal went off without a hitch and now it is a race against the clock as they have called for reinforcements and that they have received the message and are now on their way here.

I swear if those reinforcements are hostile towards me and that these alien horses are just baiting me into a trap to lower my guard and be captured...now that I think about it that isn't a bad idea at all. Just walk up to the stranded alien, offer it peace and when it doesn't notice anything, lure it to a secure location than spring the trap.

That actually sounds like a flawless idea, if it was with anything from this planet but if my warframe was ever captured I could make it go critical before exploding or operate another warframe to rescue the one that was captured, or just keep operating the captured suit and escape from wherever I have been captured and come back here.

Keeping my eyes on the iguana I saw it read the obvious letter and for a moment it looked happy to read the report but than its face morphed into what I can only think is worry or fear before passing on the letter to the purple horned alien horse in front of me. The female horned horse takes the letter from the iguana and says something, my guess it works as either its employee or as its slave, and seeing how it is clothed with what looks like proper attire I am leaning towards employee, the horse girl quickly reads the letter before she too wears a worried frown on her muzzle and I put it together.

She doesn't want the reinforcements of horse soldiers to scare me away or worse I react badly enough to attack them.

I am not some barbaric Grineer or backstabbing Corpus, I am an honorable Tenno god damn it!

Returning to what I was doing I resumed writing, giving the purple horse girl more samples to work with to study and examine, hopefully she will be the one to translate the words into her kinds written format as I do not have the tools nor the time to analyze their handwriting in order to translate their words to my own.

Writing down more and more curved and elegant words onto the piece of parchment I listened intently to what was being said, recorded everything so I could listen in what was said at the time as soon as I learn how to translate, speak and write their language.

As it turns out when two people who speak completely different languages when one sounds like nothing but horse whinnies, neighing and nickering while the other sounds like hissing and echoes.

We went at it like this for several minutes, the purple horned horse girl had her horn glowing its iridescent purple color as it held what looks like a gemstone of some kind in the air and when she grabbed it with both hands she held it out to me, expecting me to grab it with my hands as if it wasn't going to harm me in any possible way. Seeing how that this gemstone was not harming her in any physical way I decided that I might as well play nice and extending out my arm and opening my left hand and when she placed it in my hand it lost its glow and went dull. I don't know what this gemstone is for or why she gave it to me but sure enough it looks nice and I could only think that thing is a gift or a peace offering, whichever of the two will work for this particular situation.

Looking at the gemstone that now sits in my hand I rolled it over a bit, eyeing its shape and color for anything that might be out of place but as soon as I found nothing out of the ordinary I placed it within my gauntlet before dematerializing it, its atomic structure being broken down into until it vanished completely from view which left the seven aliens to stare at my hand in awe. It is almost like they never saw anything get de-atomized to the point of it disappearing from existence.

With the gemstone now in my storage pack I returned my attention to the aliens, their mouths all hanging open as they stared in awe, the iguana the most because its tongue was hanging out of its mouth, and was halfway down its chest. I wonder what use that kind of tongue would have seeing how it is so long and thin...if it could grab something while the owner is held down and act like a frog tongue than it just might have some actual use.

Seeing how the purple one gave me a gift I thought that I might as well return the favor seeing how she gave me a shiny rock.

Showing my hands to the aliens I tried to motion them to stay put as I went back to my ship I overheard the seven behind me start to talk, I guess they are discussing something about me, nothing bad I hope!

[Twilight's POV]

As soon as the mysterious alien was out of sight the girls and I immediately began to talk about our strange guest.

"I can't believe it! A real live alien! And I shook its hand too!" I shouted in glee as the girls came up to me just as the alien disappeared underneath its ship.

"Did you see how tall it is! I can't believe it is as tall as Princess Celestia!"

"And did you see how strong that fella is? He broke that column with nothin but a single swing of that hammer of his!"

"I can't believe that thing is actually an alien!

"I wonder if it likes parties?"

"Anypony wanna bet that it has a ray-gun that can freeze things? Or maybe it has death-ray like in those comic books that Time Turner gave me a few years ago!"

"Spike, those only appear in comic books, and besides I highly doubt that thing actually exists."

"That is what you said about there being alien life and look what just crash landed right in front of us?" Spike said back with a smirk, crossing his arms as he knew that he was right.

"Okay Spike you were right about that but not everything in those types of books are true! For all you know that death-ray could actually be a hypno-beam or some other malarkey."

"Wanna bet?"

"No thanks, I already lost a bet to you this week, I don't need to add another loss already." I said as I grumbled, I still couldn't believe that he was right about something as silly as there being alien life beyond our planet.

"I wonder what it looks like with its helmet off?"

But before we could speculate any further about the alien we heard something hit the floor with a thud before it let out a sound that we could all tell was that of annoyance before seeing the alien crawl out from underneath its ship.

[ME]

Hitting my head on the stone brick for a second time this day I let out an exasperated groan of annoyance all the while muttering on ways to blow up the floor just so I could stop bonking my head against it. Rolling out from underneath the ship I grumbled to myself while dusting myself off, the decontamination sequence wasn't bad to deal with but when Ordis told me that the scans I have made on the seven aliens were finished and are ready to be viewed but I decided that it could wait as soon as I have some alone time.

Once I was off the floor I walked back to the seven aliens, a gift for them in tow and for me only I had placed a scanner inside the gift so that wherever it goes it would be able to scan the surrounding area and relay it back to me so it could be processed and reviewed at my leisure and pace. And as for the gift I am giving them? A Kuria, a small gold toy that held a small inscription of a poem in Orokin, hopefully they don't immediately understand what is written on it because if they do then they will be able to enter my ship with ease through the emergency hatch.

Walking over to the seven aliens I stopped in front of the purple horned one before handing to her the Kuria.

The seven aliens looked at what was in my hands and when they saw it I watched their initial reactions, the purple horned one seemed intrigued with it and looked absolutely giddy, the white horned one seemed impressed but was busy looking at me, the yellow winged one was busy looking at my sentinel and trying to get close to it but the sentinel keeps moving a few feet away from her every time she gets close, the cyan winged one seemed to be contemplating something but was scowling at the moment, the pink one was making faces at the Kuria trying to match its stoic-as-fuck expression but failing epically and the orange one was staring at my body or I think the thick rippling cords of muscles on my warframe.

It will be a funny moment when they realize that this warframe is not like them and that they have been talking to a surrogate body the entire time.

The purple horned one slowly reached out with her hand and took the toy from me, her eyes was inspecting every single inch of the Kuria, trying to make heads or tails of what it is all the while I let out a chuckle that was barely concealed from the connection but I saw several ears flicker towards my direction. Seems like they have heightened hearing, I wonder what other senses of theirs is heightened or weakened due to being alien horses?

Going back to what I was doing I tried to keep writing but I was stopped when the orange alien horse walked up to me and grabbed my bicep, her hands tried to squeeze down on, trying to see how strong I am. Thinking that this orange girl wants to see how strong I am I decided that my as well show her.

Grabbing the orange one by the wrist in a delicate manner, I easily raised her off the floor several feet and for a moment the other six were looking at me, some were afraid that I might hurt their friend while one of them was glaring at me, trying to say that if I hurt her friend than I would have to deal with her.

Rolling my eyes internally at the cyan one's invisible threat I placed the orange one down and saw that her face was slightly tinted red and I have no idea why. Did I accidentally hurt her? Was it from being raised in the air too fast?

Before I could ponder any further I saw the purple iguana thing's cheeks bulge out before letting out a massive belch as green fire shot right out of its mouth along with what looks like a scroll made of some sort of material appeared mysteriously out from the flames. The iguana looked at the scroll and for a moment there was a smile on its face before it immediately broke down into what I can only think is mind-numbing fear.

How did an iguana breath fire, which was colored green which should be impossible to due fire either being red or blue unless altered by a chemical compound being thrown into the mix but this...this should be downright improbable. An iguana breathing fire and belching parchment, horses that are humanoid in shape, massive pillars weighing the same as a Bursa! What's next, a bloody army appearing out of no where?

But knowing my luck and seeing where I am at the moment a brilliant flash of light appeared out of nowhere, blinding me and the seven aliens in the fortress hall before fading as quickly as it came and when the neuroptics cleared up I stunned to see two fairly tall alien horses standing behind the purple horse along with a contingent of guards if the uniform armor and weapons was of any significance.

That is until a blinding white flash of light disorientated us all and when I my vision has returned to me I saw the source of the blinding light that has momentarily disabled my sight.

It was a platoon of horses, all of them wearing identical armor, standing tall and proud with their spears and shields in hand and leading the front of this platoon was two alien horses, one as white as snow and the other dark as the night itself and the pair has both a horn and a set of wings and both of them were staring at me with wide eyes. The platoon on the other hand looked stoic, stone-faced, as if they have seen this a thousand times before.

The three of us stared at one another, the two horned winged aliens staring at me with what looks like mixed emotions while I stared at the two in amazement that there are more variations of the aliens than the three I have encountered so far.

Focusing on the two large alien horses I saw that both of them were easily similar to my height as I could easily look them in the eye if we were up close and personal but seeing how we are several meters away from me and that if the scowls that were directed me are of any indication, I have done something to anger them. One of the horned winged was a vibrant white color, obviously female, her hair was rainbow in color along with her tail while the other horned winged horse was a dark blue with what looks like a strange deep purple hair that seemed like it was sparkling in the moonlight.

Was it because I crashed into this abandoned fortress?

Or was it because I scared a group of their horses when they were spying on me?

Either of the two doesn't matter, what matters right now is that I have what looks like two high ranking alien horses standing before me, six civilian alien horses, an alien fire breathing iguana, and a contingent of alien horse guards.

There is no possible way I can fuck this up.

I stood there staring at the pair of horned and winged alien horses, the armor the taller pair was wearing sort of reminds of the old stories I can now only barely call upon, stories of knights in shining armor, but instead of them being human they these...creatures and instead of slaying dragons they are staring at me as if I am the dragon. I could be if I were to swap out to my Chroma warframe but I doubt that even counts as a dragon.

As we all stared at one another the first one to make the first move was the purple horned one, she grabbed me by the right hand and tried to drag me over to the pair of horned winged alien horses. Now normally I would object to being dragged around in a rough physical manner that ends with a ton of people dying in horrible, agonizing ways but today is not one of those days and that I am dealing with aliens that I still don't know what they are fully capable of doing.

I just have to hope that they are nothing like the Sentients, and if they are than I am up shit creek without a paddle.

Accepting the purple one's constant tugging I took a few steps toward the dynamic duo before stopping right before them and now that I am standing directly in front of them I can start to pick out more details based on their physical appearance.

Starting off with the white one I can see that looking at her (made obvious by the two large protrusions on her chest) that she is my equal in height if it wasn't for that spiral horn attached to her head, the horn itself gave her an extra foot and a half of extra height, her wings on her back can easily give her an intimidation factor if they were to spread open all the way but I am not so easily scared. Her body is muscled as I can see from here that she must have been either working out for a good long while or that it is just natural for her species.

Moving my gaze onto the darker colored one I saw that she was almost like the other one but shorter, her horn was roughly a foot long in length, her muscle tone wasn't as pronounced as the other one, wings were smaller. I can almost think that these two are sisters seeing how they look like mirror opposites of each other.

While the white one is staring at me with a bit of a softer stare that doesn't scream 'I hate Tenno's!' it is the dark blue one that is glaring at me the hardest, almost like she feels threatened by my mere presence and doesn't like me being here. Girl if I had a choice in the matter I would be on Sedna right now bitch slapping Kela De Thaym with her own arm before shoving my axe into her face before removing her head and throwing it at her crowd of Grineer supporters.

Without any further delay between us all I extended my hand out towards the two horned winged aliens and for a moment all was silent before I spoke up.

"Greetings, my name is Viktor Rhino of the Tenno Order and it is a pleasure to meet the two of you." I said all the while with my right hand extended outward.

Here is hoping they don't try to attack me, I know that from their weapons that it wouldn't affect me much but my sentinel might take this the wrong way and attack one of them.

[Twilight's POV]

'This is it! The pivotal moment is here! The alien meeting both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna! The first alien encounter for this world and it is a peaceful meeting! Oh I can't wait to tell my parents about this!'

Staring at the alien as he stood there with its arm extended outward I turned to look at both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the two were thinking on how to approach this but when the alien put out its hand to be shaken by them they realized that this alien came in peace and is willing to meet with them.

Hearing the alien speak again sends chills down my spine, I don't know why but just hearing its voice makes me feel afraid for my life, like its otherworldly presence is a harbinger of things to come from beyond our world.

When it finished speaking I watched as Princess Celestia cleared her throat before straightening herself out and grabbed its hand and spoke as well.

"Greetings, I am Princess Celestia, Co-Ruler of Equestria and the Ruler of the Day." Princess Celestia said as she gave a heart-warming smile as she shook the alien's hand.

Watching the princess shake its hand made both myself and several of the royal guards that teleported in here with the princess hold their breath, none of them probably believed in aliens and seeing one here right before them shaking their princess's hand, this is something that will be told and spread around for years to come. And to top it off Equestria will be the talk around the world for being the first nation to encounter alien life!

As soon as Princess Celestia let go of its hand and took a step back for her sister to take her turn, the alien nodded at her before uttering something, my guess something nice.

The alien shifted in place as it extended its hand to Princess Luna and for a moment she scowled at the alien, for some reason she seems mad at it and the only reason why for it is maybe that the alien damaged her old home when it crashed. I am absolutely positive that it is sorry for destroying a part of the castle!

When Princess Luna refused to shake the aliens hand I watched Celestia nudge her sister in the ribs before mouthing to her to shake its hand, it is rude to ignore the alien's request and also might upset or even anger it. I rather not see it vaporize anypony because Luna was in a foul mood.

Letting out a sigh Luna slowly went forward and grabbed the alien's hand and shook it before releasing it, she must be in one of her foul moods again. Ever since she was purified by the elements of harmony she has been grumpy and grouchy in one moment and in the next moment she is sad and depressed, her time as Nightmare Moon is still effecting her and even though Celestia has sent her to some counseling to help her through this rough patch in her life it for the most part isn't working.

Once that was done I watched as Celestia waved the alien over as she walked towards the contingent of guards and for a moment I thought that she wanted to introduce it to the leader of the platoon but she called on one of them and told the guard to go tell the chariot drivers that are outside to get ready for we are about to leave and return to Canterlot as soon as they arrive.

"Twilight."

"Yes Princess Celestia?"

"When we get to Canterlot can you please guide our friend here to one of the guest rooms. I am sure after everything it went through I am more than positive that it needs to rest."

"Of course princess!"

"Sister, are you sure it is wise to leave this thing unattended? For all we know it might just be playing the peaceful card and might attack us when all of us let our guard down!"

"Do not worry Luna, I will be posting a few guards at its door and to follow it wherever it goes until we can figure out a way to communicate with it and also find out what its intentions are."

"I still think that we shouldn't leave it unattended for too long...maybe have the elements watch over it? Even during the time it takes for it to speak our language?"

"Of course, now we must be off. I just hope the alien doesn't get air sick."

"Oh please sister, if it can fly inside that strange ship than I am more than positive that it won't get sick from a little bit of air time."

"And if it does get sick than you are cleaning up the mess."

"Ha! Like that will ever happen."

[ME]

Turns out that these alien horses are technologically inferior, when I saw their clothes I just thought that they were just civilians and when the alien horse soldiers came with their metal armor, swords and spears I thought they were going a little far back with the zero-tech suits but when I left the fortress with them around me I saw that they had chariots, those things are ancient compared to me.

I am dealing with aliens that are so behind in terms of technology and sophistication that I am now genuinely afraid to reveal anything to them or else it might disrupt their own advancements and cause a ripple in their society.

When they motioned for me to step on the chariot I momentarily had the fear that I couldn't stand on it with my current weight. I would just snap through the bottom before we would even move an inch forward.

I don't want to be rude so I did as they instructed and for a moment the fear I was thinking of would come true but for some reason it managed to support my heavy load, it only showed by the chariot chassis when it sunk close to the ground as soon as I stepped onto it before it went back up. Seems like they have mastered the means to support a heavy weight with simple constructive methods.

With me now on board I watched the other alien horses get on chariots of their own and as soon as they all got on I expected us to go down the broken cobblestone road to wherever we are supposed to go but what they did next made me start to question what is and isn't possible in the world.

Apparently these alien horses have discovered the means of mechanical flight, but is a hybrid system of sorts.

Somehow the alien horses with wings hooked themselves up to the chariot and with some flaps of their wings and some grunts of exertions I watched as they slowly started to move forward before finally taking off into the air. I don't know why or how this is possible because the sheer amount of weight that needs to be displaced along with the strength required to pull a heavy chariot of wood and metal along with it carrying three to four alien horses or just myself is simply astounding.

With us in the air now I can see that I have crashed in the middle of an unruly forest and that the fortress I crashed into is in an even more state of disrepair as I watched a tower that was on the verge of falling over finally give in and collapsed in on itself.

I don't know but as we all flew through the air I couldn't but wonder what happen if I were to just take a step back and fall off this chariot, would the guards try to catch me or would they just let me drop...I rather not find out. If I take that leap of faith and they try to catch me but fail to get a firm grip on me than I fear that their arms might dislocate or get ripped off but if they just let me drop they might get their ass chewed out by their boss.

What is the lesser of two evils here?

Eh screw it, I am going to stay in this chariot, I rather not jump...if I jump I might accidentally screw this pilot over with both the sudden weight lost in the back and also he might go tumbling from the broken equilibrium. Might as well just stand back, relax and let these aliens do their job as a chauffer and carry me to wherever the hell we are going.

2 Hours Later

Oh my god, that was the longest flight to a destination I have ever been on and my god usually it just takes ten to twenty minutes at the Orbiter's slowest! But this! Jesus this was slow as all hell!

But anyways while we were flying I saw many strange sights. First was a small archaic village that sat on the outskirt of the forest we were coming from and what looks like a city sitting on the clouds as it rested itself above the idyllic village. A city made of clouds seems like something that only those that are on mushroom juice would think of, but what really got my eye was how someone thought it was a good idea to construct, bolt and place a city and a castle to the side of a fucking mountain.

You are not Corpus or Grineer! Stop this! Stop trying to copy their style! That is a horrible because if someone was an asshole they would just blow up the area where the metal meets the rock and it would send the entire city tumbling down the mountain side. All lives in that city will be lost if it were to take a little tumble off the mountain.

Why would they even construct such a thing on the side of the mountain? That just sounds like a very bad idea to begin with.

Shrugging at the thought I just stood back and watched the landscape around us slowly move, I may have the patience of a mountain but to just stand here, doing nothing, and to only be able to look at everything around myself is boring, I would rather be reading a codex entry than to be standing and waiting.

Tenno are beings of action and movement, not to be stationary and inaction.

It was during this insufferable waiting that I got a companion on this ride to wherever we are going, it was the cyan winged alien horse and I saw that she was flying beside the chariot. Why should fly next to me I do not know, but I watched as her wings flapped every once in a while which was different from how often a bird flaps its wings, I guess larger the wings means less amount of flaps needed to take flight and maintain altitude.

The cyan horse gave me a smirking smile as she flew beside me before going around the chariot, guess she is trying to show off how good of a flyer she is, she will never be good as me. Archwing is much more fun than a pair of wings, I can take it on and off at any time while a pair of wing is stuck to you for life.

When the cyan girl flew around me I paid her no mind, she was just flying near me to make sure I don't do anything stupid, I know a sentry when I see one, this girl is just not even trying to hide it. Why not just slap a piece of paper that says 'I am spying on you!' while they are at it.

During the flight I thought I saw something on the horizon but I just passed it off as nothing, but when that nothing became something when I saw what looked like a strange aura that was around the moon, a faint bluish purple aura surrounded the moon and I watched it lower itself beyond the horizon and just as it went down I saw sunlight rise from the opposite direction and that was when I saw a golden aura surrounding the sun.

What kind of person has the power to move the sun and moon? Not even the Orokin can move the sun in the solar system, I know that the Lotus had the power to move the moon into the void but that was with the assistance of ancient Orokin technology.

While I was staring at the phenomena that is the sun and moon being moved I heard someone giggling and when I turned my head to see who it was I saw that it was the purple horned girl along with her pink friend. It would seem that they knew that this would happen and they were expecting my reaction.

Well I am in awe, in awe that someone is powerful enough to move the sun itself.

Not long after the sun was thrown into the sky we eventually arrived at the city on the mountainside or more importantly, the castle that is built next to the city. We landed on a landing strip where there was several more chariots parked beside it, a few were peeking out of what looks like a garage of sorts, the guards got off first before going to what I can only assume is their assigned VIP and when I took my step off the chariot it actually buckled from the weight.

That chariot went through hell to support me and to that it I watched it get dragged off the strip and into the garage, probably for repairs or a refit.

I didn't wait long as six guards surrounded me as one in a strange purple and white armor walked up to me before saying something, my guess is he is the one in charge of the horse guards here as he turned around and started to walk into the castle, the guards around me took a step towards it before stopping, seems like I have to follow them.

If they are trying to lead me into a prison cell than they better be prepared for disappointment because I won't let myself get captured that easily.

Turns out the castle they were escorting me through was decorated and designed in such a way as to awe anyone who would arrive to meet the ones who owns this castle. I saw portraits of more alien horses, several of them were in a sitting pose and looking straight at the painter, but the most numerous of the paintings was of the alabaster white and dark blue winged horned women. Those two seemed to be prevalent here, must be very important people if they are in every single hallway, must be the daughters of a king or something.

This only got better when we walked by a white horned horse man with blonde hair, he was wearing what looks like a well-crafted suit and as we walked by each other he nodded at me with a smile on his face and kept on walking but as we turned the corner I heard his footsteps stop abruptly, my guess is he thought I was someone important and acknowledged me only to realize I wasn't an alien horse.

We kept on walking until we stopped in front of a door and for a moment I thought we were waiting for another horse person but that was when the lead guard turned around and opened the door for me before motioning for me to step inside. If this is a dungeon cell than it looks like it is one that has the benefits of comfortable living all the while being in a cage.

A gilded cage, just like the ones the Orokin have placed us all in...

No. This is different. They are not the Orokin...they will not experiment on me and the others...they will not force us to fight for them...they will not kill our mother...

I broke out from my cloud of anger and when I turned my head to look around me I saw that I was standing inside the room and that I was alone in the center of the room.

'I let my anger get the better of me...I can't let that happen again. Who knows how many innocent people might get hurt if I let myself get mad so easily.'

With there being no one but myself in the room I decided that now was the time to let these aliens think that I am asleep and to not bother me so I can retire for the early morning and rest. Setting my warframe to standby I went to the bed and gave it a once over before laying down on it and disconnected from the transference line before waking up in my pod.

'This is going to be a long stay on this planet...I hope this doesn't take too long to repair the engines.'

[Shining Armor's POV]

I was standing outside of the alien's room when it stopped in the center and was looking at the bed for a good long while, I don't know if it likes it or not but as far as I am concerned I have to keep an eye on this thing. If what Spike wrote is true about this thing than it is easily stronger than an earth pony by several leagues, maybe even it is as stronger or even stronger than Princess Celestia herself.

When it stood in the center of the room for ten minutes I decided that it should have some privacy I closed the door behind it before placing a ward on it to alert any nearby guards that the alien has left the room.

I must report back to Princess Celestia on my thoughts about our guest.

I can only hope that this alien comes in peace, I would hate to have to put it down if it becomes a threat.

ENJOY!
