Hush now, quiet now...

This is a work of total fiction, made entirely for entertainment purposes. No money is gained from the production of this prose.

I have made a grievous error in my quest to aid the Humans. I had assumed that, once one hundred percent brain function was returned to them, they would be just as intelligent as a pony.

This is not the case.

Immediately after waking up, Orion became aggressive and erratic. I knew that he was confused and terrified, but I also could see a sense of wonder and curiosity not found in feral Humans. I had to assert dominance over him many times.

"Orion! Stop it!" Yelled Twilight. Orion had found his way into her stash of ink and quills and had decided on scribbling all over her books and notes.

Luckily, it wasn't anything she couldn't replace. Charging up her horn, Twilight levitated the larger Human into his bed which rested in the corner of the library basement.

"It's eleven-thirty, you can't have this much energy!" Twilight complained. Looking over his restless body, Twilight cast a simple sleeping spell on him. Immediately, he relaxed. He seemed confused as to his sudden change in attitude, but didn't seem too alarmed by it. He blinked several times, trying to fight off the exhaustion but failed.

Twilight leaned up and gently pulled the blankets over him. When she neared him, he reached over and lifted her into the bed with him, ignoring her startled yelp. He slowly petted her mane and ran his hands over her wings.

"Sleepy mommy." He said with a drowsy smile. Twilight smiled at him.

"Yes, it's sleepy time now." She said. She reached over with a hoof and gently brushed a stray lock of hair from his eyes. "Hush now, quiet now it's time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now quiet now it's time to go to bed..."

Slowly, Orion's eyes fluttered shut. A small smile stayed on his face as he drifted off into Luna's realm.

"Night...mommy..."

He's an infant in a Human's body. That alone makes him incredibly dangerous. However, Humans are primates, and like all apes, there is a strong Mother/Child relationship. Orion is instinctively seeking out comfort from his mother. Unfortunately, I do not know what kind of affects introducing an intelligent human to feral humans could have. There is a chance of rejection that could scar Orion for life. He is much too delicate to feel alienated in such a way.

I have decided to be become Orion's mother.

I will provide him with comfort, and teach him as best I can. He is very important, and he will change the world.


Author's Note

Very brief, but hey. I did this in 20 minutes.

Yeah, sorry to those of you who expected Orion to just start reading Shakespeare. He has to adapt to his new brain, so he's starting from infancy.

He won't be childlike too long, so don't worry about that.

Happy New Year Everyone!
