A New World, A New Way: Part One

After the tear-fest, the Warriors and the ponies composed themselves long enough to ask and answer a few questions. It was an unspoken, unanimous decision to answer questions tit-for-tat.

"Okay, first and fore-most, what world is this?" asked Chris. When the tears and raging had stopped, there was a new fire burning in his eyes, somewhat akin to Hellfire.

"The world we live in and on, is called 'Gaia'. What world do you come from?" Twilight replied.

"There are lots of worlds and planets, but the four of us hail from Mars. Why are you so nervous around us?"

"Ponies that have wings and horns, Alicorns, are extremely rare. The only ones to appear in recent history have been Cadence, and myself. You said something about being 'changed'... What was that about?"

"We aren't really ponies, it was just a cruel trick the Worm played on us. What we really look like are tall, bi-pedal creatures resembling monkeys. Some idiotic scientists believe that we evolved from some kind of ancient reptiles, but, come on. How does a sapient and sentient creature evolve from some overgrown lizards? My turn... umm... How are you using telekinesis? The only being I know that is that powerful is the Elemist."

"I'm surprised you didn't know that already, since you are able to use it yourself. Any unicorn or Alicorn can use magic, you all included. Does your world not have magic?"

"No, the only 'magic' in my world is poorly-set-up parlor tricks that nobody believes except for children and idiots. Can magic be used for alternative purposes?"

"Many. Magic can be used as transportation, transmogrification, among thousands upon thousands of other uses. Wha-"

"CAN YOU TURN FLOWERS INTO WAFFLES!?!?!?" Danny suddenly interrupted. "CUZ' I WANT WAFF- Oof!" Danny was suddenly interrupted by a hoof to the face.

"Danny, shut up! You will have plenty of time to be an idiot later, but now is not one of those times. Now miss Sparkle, you were saying?"

"*ahem*  As I was going to ask, what is the typical human diet?"

"Ahh, an interesting question. Humans are omnivores; without the protein found in animals, we die. Eggs and things can supply those nutrients, but humans don't like bland that much. Though, I'm not sure what we eat now. Would you mind answering me that?"

"Oh, o-of course. Ponies are herbivores, eating flowers, berries, and hay. There are other things we eat, but that is the staple-point of our diets. Does your kind have any... interesting traits, or instincts?"

Chris laughed. Even if it was a bit hollow, it still felt good to laugh.

"That is an interesting subject. Humans have little-to-no instincts, but the ones we do have, have... interesting effects. For example, lets say that I have no money, live under a bridge, but am happy with my wife. Now, lets say that you, a bad guy, kidnaps her. Now what? Now the man nothing left to lose. After a few moments of sorrow, a primal rage begins to form. Adrenaline begins to flow, eyes start to burn with hatred and anger, and with nothing holding him back, he sets out to find his wife. But, anything that gets in his way -save for children- dies. He doesn't just kill them, he murders them. Not even impending death itself can stop him. Nothing matters, except his wife. The same goes for children. You could say we have strong protective instincts." he smirked.

"That's... interesting." she stated, obviously rattled by this new revelation.
