The Gears of My Life

Chapter 2 of The Gears of My Life

Royalty, Disrepair, And an option

That night Twilight made the couch in her 'reading room' a suitable bed for me to sleep in. for three hours I just lad there looking over my school papers and browsing the apps on my phone.

"fucking bloody hell, no internet"

I shod have known that there would be no internet. New world and all, but my mind was preoccupied with remembering my family, friends, my school , and many of the other thing I had unwillingly abandoned. at this I began to sob quietly into the couch pillow. Eventually I had fallen asleep crying.

The next day, twilight awake to knocking at the door.

"Uh, Spike please get the door. "

The only sounds in the library were spike snoring and the knocking at the main door. Twilight releasing spike was still asleep, got up, and went to open the door.

"I'm coming, hold on."

When twilight opened the door, she was greeted by two royal guards and princess celestial and luna.

"Oh, good morning princesses,  please come in. I take it you got my letter. "

" Why yes I did" said princesses celestial, waking in.

"It's a delight to be in your presence again twilight " said luna.

"I'll go wake up our guest,  we'll be down in a minute " responded twilight.

"Josh wake up the princesses are her to meet you."

I woke up and stared at her

"what time is it?" I sneered. I never was a morning person, and waking up in a new world didn't help.

"It's time to see the princesses" she retorted, rising the blanket of me with her magic.

" Uh ok, I'll come down but at least let me get breakfast. "

I went down and grabbed one of the many fruits twilight had in her kitchen.

When met the princesses, i was astonished to find they were assigned tall as me. The Wight one's horn made her seem taller than me. They introduced themselves as celestial and Luna. Celestial the Wight one and Luna the dark blue one.

Twilight and the two princesses talked, while I ate the fruit I had grabbed. There conversation was mostly about me, i was surprised that I didn't have to chime in to correct anything twilight said.  She got very detailed correct.  Then came some news from Celestia that I never suspected but it wasn't good.

"I may not know why you arrived in Equestra but I do know how. Ether magic or fate connected our two worlds, but closing between two universes is always fatal. I lost so many protege to Multivers exploration.  So i decided to forbid it. I know from watching it a completely panels death but a death none the less."

This friend me greatly but princesses Luna immediately noticed this.

"Sister, I believe we can save this human, his body may be dying but I think..." she whispers sorting in Celesta's ear, witch made her retreat in shock.

"Luna, I'm astonished at you. Just because  we are above the law when preforming that spell doesn't mean we SHOULD preform it. Its moral wrong."

"I know it was used as capital punishment in the dark ages, but it will save his life, I thought you considered life to be the most precious thing EVER."

"I... yes...yes I do believe life is unimaginably precious, and seen what you mean. I think its only fair to allow Josh to deicide weather this is right for him...Josh you have three choices here, I can return you to earth but the trip will send you to your death bed.. you can stay her in Equstra as a human for the week or two you have of your life..or finally we can give you a new but permanent body of a pony, you can live the rest of your long life her in Equetra, although this is the most painful of the choices, because the spell we will use was never meant to be plesent."

I was shocked to here this but I didn't hesitate to live my life long and healthy so despite the warning of pain, I chose the third option.

"I'd rather live my life long, not short, so I opted the third." respond with sudden confidence."but I'd rather let my family know I'm all right, is that possible?"

"Yes, inanimate objects that travel between universe don't get harmed its only the living that do."

"Um... will you excuse me for a moment I need to Wright a letter."

I went to the room were my bag, coat, and hat were, got out some paper, got my pen, and started to write the later to my family.

writing the letter singed a hole in my hart, knowing that we'd never be able to see each other, and if we did, one of us would die. then I preceded downstairs.

"OK I'm done with the letter" I announced sombrely. "oh, Princes Celesta is there a way to have my parents send letters back her to Equestria?"

"Oh easy." she summoned a tall, white  candle  with her magic. "Twilight can you get spike for me please."

"yes your highness......SPIKE! THE PRINCESS NEEDS YOU!"

"OK TWILIGHT! I"LL BE DOWN IN A MOMENT"

once spike got downstairs, the princess made melted the wax while keeping it in its shape with her magic. spike immediately new what was happening, and spat his saliva into the molten wax. one it was dry she gave it to me.

"you might want to write the instructions on the paper"she said to me.

" what are the instructions?"

"hold on I'm getting to that. the candle works by burning the letter that needs to be to be sent in the flame of this candle. since spikes spit is inside the candle he will belch up the letter when its sent. all you have to do is have spike burn your letters with his breath and the candle will automatic light and the letter will materialise in the smoke. it works across universes. I have sent letters across universes before."

immediately scribbled some simple instructions on the bottom of the letter, then wrapped it around the candle, giving it to celesta. she then sent it off with a bright yellow flash.

"How do you know it will get to the right place?" I questioned.

"magic is a funny thing, don't worry only an inexperience or "bad" unicorn would mess something up like this. I don't even have to know ware the correct destination is magic will make it arrive at the correct location."

"shall we proceed to our next agenda?" inquired Luna.
