ప్రిన్సెస్ Celestia

Waking up was a real pain, I felt a bruise pounding at the back of my head. I must have bumped it last night, though at the moment I didn’t remember anything from last night except for bad decisions about abandoned houses. My aching head wasn’t the only new thing when I noticed how comfortable and big my bed was, Is this even my bed?. My answer produced more questions when I lazily opened my eyes.

To simply say, this is not my room would have been a huge understatement, as the room I found myself in was was massive. It looked like it was the atrium of a mansion, yet it was surprisingly homely. I moved my head around to study more of the room, that is until I found yet another pleasant surprise. Lying next to me was probably what I would classify to be a  horse, though this one had a horn and looked more animated than any horse I’ve ever seen. I jumped at the sight, but I stopped myself from waking it only by covering my mouth with… a hoof?.

I noticed my body had completely changed into a horse much like the one next to me. I slowly got off the bed while I involuntarily made panicked whimpers, the last thing I wanted was to wake up the unicorn. The cold, hard floor met my face when I attempted to jump off the bed, I realized that I had four legs and probably had to start using them better instead of falling at every attempt. I decided to cheat, and crawl on the floor, searching for an en suite, rich people definitely had en suites. The closest door I found turned out to be the correct one and I was relieved to see that it wasn’t as big as I had thought.

Being alone and trapped inside a horse’s body, the first thing I did was carefully grab nearest folded towel with my new hooves. Pressing the towel against my face, I screamed, letting out all my confusion and panic into a muffled shout. I knew I had to see what I really looked like, so went over to the sink mirror and slowly peaked at the bottom corner, almost scared of my own reflection. When I got a good look at himself, I was surprised to see how… human this horse looked. I was a unicorn, that I knew, but the mustache and my expressionate facial features I found surprisingly enjoyable. As I was admiring my looks, I almost failed to notice a necklace around me that held a locket. My hooves couldn’t grasp the locket as easily as they could the towel since it was too small.

I started getting frustrated with this thing to the point where I shouted, “Just get in my hoof ya stupi—”

A golden aura covered itself around the locket, which seemed to be lifting it in air. As it stayed in place, I slowly moved my head in random directions to which the locket started to follow.

“...thank you?” I said awkwardly.

I didn't bother to question the magic that I apparently had control over, as it actually became easier to learn than using hooves and walking on four equine limbs. I opened the locket and found a photo of some ponies I didn't recognize along with an inscription that said, Razoff. Thinking nothing of it, I realized the locket from the magic grip but kept it around my neck, I thought I keep just in case. Something else caught my attention when I started to wash up: a scroll was placed just on the toilet seat. It looked like the scroll I had back home before I dozed off. When I unrolled it with my magic, it was the same scroll, but the language on it suddenly started to translate well to me, like it was my primary language.

Hello, to whomever it may concern, the locket that you now possess is very important to you for the time you spend in this world, so no matter what happens don’t lose it.  I have put five hundred thousand bits in your possession. You are to use these bits for one thing and one thing only: to make a difference. Change this world for the better. If you are found to be using this money for your own personal gain, it will be taken away and you will be sent home, your memory wiped. If you succeed in making a difference, you will be rewarded handsomely.

Best of luck,

Princess Celestia

I didn't know what this Celestia was trying to accomplish by doing this, but I didn't have a plan of my own, so I decided to play along for now. A knock at the door made me jump in fright at the sudden interruption, but a calming voice called out afterwards, “Darling, is everything alright?, you were shouting a while ago”.

Now I was likely in big trouble, I had a feeling that the unicorn whom I had possessed was probably this mare’s husband. Despite not knowing who exactly I was suppose to be, I had to answer quickly and convincingly as possible. Taking a shot in the dark, I responded, while putting on a posh english accent, “Oh just fine ‘n dandy my dear, I was just talking to myself”.

“What were you talking to yourself for?”

“Oh, well you see… I was just, um, mad at myself for forgetting what we were supposed to be doing today”, I half lied

“Ooh, got so excited that you forgot what you were supposed to be excited for, hm?”

“Um, yes that’s right.”

“Well once you’re finished in there, get yourself something nice to wear. Ee’re going to stay in Ponyville for a week.”

“Ponyville?” I realized I probably should have just accept that information with a compliment about how lovely that idea was.

“Why yes, didn’t you say you wanted to pay visit to that lovely unicorn, Rarity?”

“Oh um, yes of course I said that, sounds wonderful, dear”

Oh I think I’m going to do just fine in this world.
