Prince Guardian Of The Element

I was on the verge of panic. For two reasons, first I was about to meet Princess Celestia one of the Princesses who ruled here. Second I now know I wasn't ever going home. Oh I hope my pets are okay. I had 2 cats on earth and I loved them dearly.

Later that day I was in Canterlot with Twilight. We had teleported and it was a stomach turning experience. When we arrived there I ran to the nearest garbage can and I retched into it. All the while Twilight watched me in mild amusement. Oh how I loathed her right at that moment. Then Twilight spoke apologetically "Sorry about that Mitchell. I forgot you have never teleported before. I should have told you that it is a nausiating experience for first timers."

I glowered at her and spoke shakily but from nausia not fear "Why didn't we just take the train. I am sure Princess Celestia could have waited for 2 hours for us as we took the train here instead of teleporting."

Twilight nodded then spoke "Your the second Human in Equestria and I thought that it was required we got here A.S.A.P. I know Princess Celestia wants to speak with you immediately." With that we continued on towards Canterlot castle. Twenty minutes later we were shown to the throne room to be presented to Princess Celestia. My first impression I got from Princess Celestia was she seemed happy that yet another human was in Equestria.

She smiled at me in a welcoming way. But then she then noticed I was scared. Her smile then turned to a concerned frown. She suddenly realized I didn't want to be here because I was looking everywhere but at her. Princess Celestia then spoke in a soft and loving voice that I have no choice but to look upon the regal beauty "Welcome to Canterlot castle Mitchell and more importantly, welcome to Equestria. I am sorry you are here with us. Sadly I can't send you home."

I said sadly "So I am trapped here." Then as an afterthought "Your Majesty." She WAS a Princess, I DO have manners.

Celestia smiled at me benignly. After what felt an eternity, she spoke softly to me "Though it grieves me to say this but yes. You are now and forever a denizen of Equestria with all the rights and privledges as any of my subjects. I am truly sorry that you can never go home. Prey,tell me you won't be leaving anything or anypony special behind would you?"

At this I cried and replied between my tears and sobs "As a matter of fact, yes, Your Majesty, I HAVE left something behind. I left my 2 pet cats on Earth. Their names are Oliver and Mixie and I do so love them dearly. In fact, Oliver was with me for 5 years and Mixie for 2 years. I worry about them because now that I am trapped here and can't take be with them."

Celestia listened to me in earnest then she called the purple Alicorn to her side and spoke to her in a hushed whisper and I saw Twilight's eyes widen. Of course I didn't care what they were talking about. I slipped back into my meloncholy silence. My mind looking back on my memories I had with my cats. I continued to cry silently.

After a 5 minute conversation with her prized student they both looked at me their minds set upon the task in front before Celestia spoke up and snapped me back to the here and now and out of my memories of my cats. "Mitchell I see you grieve for your loss and my pupil." She pointed her horn at Twilight "And I want to ask if your stay here will be comfortable here if we brought your cats here with you in Equestria?" She questioned.

My heart raced "Can she really be that powerful to bring me my cats." I thought hopeful. But then I got suspisous. I then spoke darkly "Wait! are you telling me you cats here but you can't send me home. How is that logical?"

Celestia sighed and spoke "The reason for that is simple. We Alicorns can only bring things INTO Equestria but we can't rutrn those who show up back because the rules of our world is that once you are now a denizen or 'trapped' as you say here because our world has already adopted you as a resident. Even if you don't want to be here. Furthermore if we tried to send you back you would most likely die. Also..." She said that 'also' gave me a shiver because it was full of remorse and guilt "...Also as soon you entered our realm your life on Earth, your world has already deleted you from its existance and all you past, family, present, friends, or your possible future there has been deleted. Simply put now you are here and belong now to our world. Also your memories will disappear. Any memory you have or had on your world will disappear. I can see the effects already taking ahold of you. So I ask you again before you lose your memories about your cats. Would your life here be more plesant if we gave you back your pets.

I was shocked at her explaination that all I could do was nod. Then a glow of purple and gold and out of nowhere my 2 cats appeared before me they looked terrified at suddenly being here. Mixie bolted the first hiding spot in the throne room. It was under Celestia's throne. Although Oliver terrified as he was he just laid there. What else could he do he is an old cat. I smiled with gratitude towards the now two tired Alicorns. "Thank you both Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia. You have no idea how happy I am now that I have my pets back."

Celestia smiled and was about to speak when I heard the throne room door opened then closed. I looked back to the door to see who had just entered. It was yet another Alicorn except she was the color of the deepest black with a dark blue mane waving in a nonexistant wind like Celestia's. I gulped and and bowed I knew who this pony was. She was the Princess of the Night, Princess Luna and sister to Princess Celestia.

Luna looked at me with a mix of a shock and amusement. I blushed, I felt weird feeling just looking upon her. Much like a feeling I had so long ago with an ex-girlfriend whose name I can't remember "What the hell!" I thought "Why can't I remember her name." Then Celestia's voice floated over in my memory. Was this what she meant about me losing my memories. I guess she wasn't kidding. But this weird feeling was very familiar. Then it hit me I was crushing on Princess Luna. This feeling shocked me. These feelings are wrong for 2 reasons. First and most obvious She was an Alicorn and I am a human. Secondly Luna was royality and for all intents of purpose I am a commoner. So it wouldn't work out between us. "But still......."

I was brought back when Luna spoke "Sister I felt a great surge of power a moment ago are you okay."

Celestia sighed " I am fine, sister. I cast a spell with Twilight to give this poor human, Mitchell is it? I nodded. Celestia continued "To bring back him, his most prized possessions his pets." Celestia nodded to Oliver and pointed her horn to throne where Mixie still hid. Then she looked back at me then to Luna with a sly smile and spoke again "And it appears that he is impressed with you Lulu if you know what I mean."

I gasped hiding my now seriously blushing face in my hands. How did she know what I was thinking about. I whispered " This is soooo embarrassing."

Then Celestia spoke again still smiling "But it appears he doesn't know if he should give in to his feelings or try to hide behind a spieces stereotype that would prevent him from confessing to thee.?"

I cursed myself silently for telling her and Luna my thoughts through my actions. What am I going to do.

It finally dawned on Luna what her sister just said and then Luna blushed. She knew Celestia knew about her taste in mates. She once tried to court the other human Bryan, I think his name was. Rainbow Dash's human father. She was rejected by him. he told her that he wasn't interested in having a marefriend but if he did he would consider her. Now there was another human has appeared in Equestria this was too good to be true.

Luna remembered when she first saw him. When he first arrived in Canterlot with Twilight Sparkle. Luna saw that this human was scared about being here but nevertheless she giggled as a school filly. From where she was watching them. It was from her balcony. After they teleported here he ran for the nearest garbage can he could find and got sick in it before they entered the palace most likely to see her sister. She then thought "I might get lucky with this human." But just as the thought passed through her mind. She felt a massive surge of power that shook her out of her fantasy and came to see why. Now she knew apparently Twilight and Celestia cast a spell to bring back Mitchell's cats.

Luna snapped out of her reviere as Celestia spoke to Mitchell again and asked "Mitchell where would you want to live here in Equestria?" Celestia smiled deviously "In the castle with us. I'm sure Luna wouldn't mind." She smiled at Luna. Luna blushed but secretly she hoped he would say yes. Celestia spoke again "Or in the city of Canterlot or in Ponyville with my student Twilight and her friends the other Elements of Harmony. Luna looked at the human expectantly.

After Celestia returned my pets and had fun at Luna's and my expense. She asked me where I wanted to live. At the mention of me living in the Castle I noticed that Luna was excited that I might live in the castle. But why would she be I don't have a royal background and in effect a stranger to this realm. Plus there was the obvious fact that I am a human in a world run, ruled, and consisted of nothing but Equines. The second option was to live in the city of Canterlot. At this I noticed that Luna was crestfallen but still hopeful. Again I asked myself "why?" The third option was Ponyville with Twilight and her friends the 'other Elements of Harmony'. I knew what Celestia meant by that sentence. Because of the show I watched in my world. Weird I managed to remember everything pony related. But I was slowly forgetting everthing else about my world. I think that was Celestia's doing. I think she wanted me to feel as if I belong here in Equestria. I felt grateful. I asked Princess Celestia "Where do You think I should go Princess Celestia? Where do you think I will be safe and fit in?"

Celestia smiled this human had no idea what he just did by asking her where he should go. He just gave himself over to her rule and her decision. As of that moment she saw him as one of her loyal subjects not just as a human lost in her realm but another pony in her kingdom loyal to her. Another pony for her to love and care for. Now she saw why her sister was so interested in him and who was she to disagree with the rules of the heart. I spoke "ARISE MITCHELL, IS IT TRUE YOU ASK ME OF MY OPINION OF WHERE YOU SHOULD LIVE IN MY KINGDOM!!" She knew Mitchell's answer but she wanted him to swear himself to her. All her subjects swore an oath of loyalty to her.

I was awestruck when Princess Celestia asked me that question I knew enough about royalty that she was asking me to swear an oath of loyalty to her. So I arouse just like Celestia commanded me I looked into her eyes and said "I, Mitchell swear my undying loyalty to the Princesses of the Sun & Moon that I will be a loyal citizen of Equestria and surrender Myself to the rule of the diarchy. I am here to serve."

Celestia looked at me proudly as I swore my life and loyalty to Luna and Celestia as if I were to become a knight. She smiled and said "MITCHELL I WHOLLY ACCEPT THINE INTO MY AND MY SISTER'S SERVICE AS OF THIS POINT YOU ARE NO MORE THE HUMAN, MITCHELL BUT ONE OF MY LITTLE PONIES AS A DIFFERENT RACE OF PONY. MITCHELL YOU ARE ONE OF MY LOYAL SERVENTS. SHOULD YOU NEED ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL DON'T HESISATE TO ASK MY HELP. I ALWAYS EXTEND A HOOF OF FRIENDSHIP TO ONE OF MY SUBJECTS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED." She finished in her royal regal Canterlot Voice. She then said normally "I think you should live in Ponyville with Twilight and her friends. I will set you up with a cottage, bits, and food for you. I will give you a job of becoming my most prized pupil's guardian and protector of all the Elements of Harmony in other words you are going to help me watch over Twilight and her friends. I will pay you myself for doing that job personally do you accept my judgements."

I nodded after Princess Celestia told me what she was going to do for me. "Although my ears will be ringing for at least a week after I heard Celestia's Royal Canterlot Voice." I thought dazed. Nevertheless I nodded and said "As my Princess commands."

.............................................................

Luna smiled at this and felt upset to know he was going to go live in Ponyville with Twilight and her friends as their sword and shield and getting paid directly from Princess Celestia. She admitted she was jealous. she then chuckled slyly. "I know what I can do. I will forge a sword and some armor very ornate but functional. After all I am the best forgemistress in all of Equestria. This will show my interest in him as a possible marefriend." she thought. she know Celestia took notice of her intentions because when she looked back at her sister and she was smiling approvingly. She always had my best interests in mind. She was also gave her an encouraging smile as if to say "You have my blessing to pursue your crush and maybe he will finally love you the way you want him to." Luna smiled there is one special way she could see if he would grow to care for her and she doubted he knows that she can enter the dreams of everypony and observe what their subconscious wants and desires. Guess what she look forward to seeing and observing and if needed interfere with his dreams. She look forward to tonight Luna smiled.

.........................................................

Celestia noticed what Luna had planned she smiled and thought "I see nopony else deserves the happiness and love than my sister and from what I witnessed from Mitchell's reaction when Luna entered the throne room. I see nopony else that deserves the love I know Luna can give him." Celestia turned and spoke to Twilight and Mitchell. "Would you like to stay overnight until tomorrow that way Twilight can set up your home."

Of course Celestia knew what Twilight would say. Twilight shook her head and answered "No thank you. I need to go back to Ponyville and prepare it for his arrival. Plus I need to find Mitchell a suitable home to live in. I'll send you a letter when I find him a home." Celestia nodded. Then Twilight bowed and took her leave.

Celestia turned to Mitchell "Well how about you Guardian."

As soon as I heard that title I nodded and replied "I will stay Your Majesty. Thank you for your hospitality and for what you gave me. This human is humbled." I lowered my eyes only to have my head brought up to look Princess Celestia in the eyes because of her magic.

Princess Celestia smiled and spoke "As of now you are not a human. You are one of my little ponies who I love and protect. Though you may look different and here is your proof. Look on the back of your hands. I think this will prove you belong here."

I looked curiously at my backs of my hands. I gasped in shock and awe. On the backs of my hands I saw a picture on them. It was a Cutie Mark. I was surprised "I guess in Equestria even humans can get Cutie Marks. That's a new one on me. In all the fan fiction I read that invovled humans in Equestria. They never got Cutie Marks." I smiled "Wow I guess even I had a destiny here. But for the life of me I had no idea what it is." I looked closely at the new marks on my skin. It was a shield with crossed swords. Etched on the shield's surface were 5 of the six Elements of Harmony. I looked above the shield and saw a the crown hovering between the hilts was the sixth Element of Harmony, Magic. I looked back at Celestia and asked "I didn't know you are able to bestow a Cutie Mark on anyone."

Celestia smiled and shook her head and replied "I didn't I saw a flash of light the moment you swore your loyalty to me and my sister. Hoestly you are very unobservant. You need to start to pay attention to your surroundings more not just what is in front of you." I nodded feeling that I just got slapped on the face for being oblivious.

I mumbled "Sorry Princess I'll try to be more observant and actually pay attention to my surrounding better." Celestia smiled

Celestia then spoke "Now go with Luna she will give you a tour of our Castle." I blushed but Celestia spoke again "Don't worry you are in safe hooves." I nodded still blushing I went to Luna's side. Before we left Celestia spoke again " Oh and Mitchell I request that you learn to talk Equestrian. Luna will teach you how." I nodded and left with Luna.

...............................................................

After Mitchell and Luna left Celestia said to herself "I see big things in your future, for Equestria, and for....." Celestia allowed herself to smile and continued "....and my sister. I hope your are prepared." Celestia smile broadened and thought "He is. Everything is going according to plan. I know Luna will prepare him. But for now let him remain oblivous to the fact that it was I who brought him here. He needs to get used to being in our world. In time I will reveal his destiny to him." Celestia left the throne room.
