Author's Note

Hey hey update!!!!
Sorry for the long wait (again), but I've got exams in a few weeks so you'll have to wait again for the next chapter. After November 11th my exams finish so I'll try to finish this story the weeks after that.

Chapter 6

Entry 1.
Date: Unknown
It's been six days since I escaped from my stone prison, and boy it's good to be free. It's like the old saying goes, you never know what you've got until you lose/lost it. Freedom is taken for granted by many people, but never again will I forget what I went through for 1,000 years. 1,000 years spent doing nothing but thinking about things like predicting futures, dwelling on the past, and observing the present (when I wasn't constantly being tortured). But now? Now I am free to do what I wish.

Well, I would be, if it weren't for Celestia. Again.

The day that Celestia announced my presence to the local populace of "Ponyville" was quite the interesting day indeed. As expected, the ponies were not accepting of my existence, calling me names like "monster", "it", "creature", "thing" and so on. These very terms are what make me want to kill all these fucking ponies. Terms used to strip a man of his humanity, what makes him human. You don't refer to a person as it or thing. Those are words you use to describe chairs and shit. I'm not a fucking chair.

Either way, I've spent these last few days doing shit all in the castle. Reading about Equestrian history and customs. I got a good surprise when Twilight explained modern customs. A lot like they were back on Earth.

"So, you got anything interesting planned for the week?" I asked Twilight out of pure boredom.

"Actually I do." She magicked a scroll from no where. Unrolling it she lists off things to do, a big, red “To Do” at the top of it.

"Today I plan on rereading Star Swirl the Bearded's theory of magical relativity. Tomorrow I'm going to spend the day with Pinkie Pie....whatever she has planned. Then the day after is the day of the pony-pet playdate." She said as she listed off her tasks one by one."

"Okay I get it, but more importantly, what the hell is a "pony-pet playdate"?" I asked cocking an eyebrow, genuinely confused about what the fuck that thing was.

"It's when my friends and I get our pets together for a playdate in the park."

"Right... So what am I supposed to do while you're reading?"

"Actually, I can re-schedule today's agenda. I want to ask you some questions if that's alright."

"Sure, why not?" I said, sitting down cross-legged on the ground.

"Okay first question." Twilight summons a notepad and a quill before continuing, "what's your full name and species?"

"My name is Julian Sinor. I'm of a species called Human beings, though scientifically we're named Homo Sapiens. For those who actually care." She quickly writes down what I say on her little pad.

"What can you tell me of your species?" she asked.

I laughed at the question, "you really wanna know?"

"Of course I do! Is that funny?" She asked, clearly offended by my giggle fit.

"No not at all, just an unusual question. Well I'm not entirely sure where to begin. What specifically about Humans interests you?"

She gets right up in my face, "Everything."

Well... shit. I sigh before starting with some basics, "Well the Homo Sapien species evolved from the Ape family, where the closest known relative is the Chimpanzee. Now I'm not entirely sure if that's correct but that's just what I know. Humans are not easy to explain, as everyone is different. Humans are intelligent and dumb, creative and dull, kind and cruel, ingenuitive and wasteful. All those things and more, once again going back into the whole equilibrium thing. The Human race has been at war with itself for as long as it's existed, constantly killing each other, but people have also spent their entire lives dedicated to protecting others and saving them. We've destroyed our planet, but also helped to save it. Most recently we've been divided, but when the Demons invaded, we banded together to repel them." That's not entirely true but gotta stay in character. I thought to myself.

Twilight looked up from her notes, "That's both sad and happy, people doing such horrible things but also doing such good." She stated, her voice monotone.

"That's the reality of things Twilight, you ponies aren't so different from people like me." Her faced dropped at me saying this, but she knows it's true.

"What can you tell me of your government?"

Oh for fuck sake... I hate politics. I sighed, "To do that, you should know that the world I come from is divided into many different countries, each government by it's own people and government. The Human race is the only sentient species on Sanctuary. Many of the countries have a purely democratic government, where others have dictatorships, and some still have monarchies. Most of the past monarchies have been disbanded, the people electing single representatives for the country instead."

"You'd give up your monarchs for a normal pony?" Twilight asked me with wide eyes, clearly surprised.

"First of all, we're not ponies, we're people. Secondly we didn't have immortal people to lead us like you do, everyone is the same, they live and they die. Thirdly, the people liked the idea of democracy, where they had choice in matters that concerned them instead of a single person deciding what happens at their own leisure." Twilight looked a bit sad after I told her off, but fuck her. "Also, it's not like my country doesn't have a monarchy. Hell, the largest remaining monarchy has a democratic government as well. Actually, I'm not sure how their government works but I can guess it's democratic. Anyway, that particular country is a part of a Commonwealth, which my country is also a part of, so technically we do have a monarch, except they can't really decide what does and doesn't happen in my country." I said, finishing my knowledge of the governmental system. Which, lets just say, isn't that expansive.

"Oh, okay then" Twilight then started to write down some notes, again.

"Let's talk about something else, I hate politics almost as much as I hate Celestia." I said bluntly, but Twilight didn't complain. Then again, if she did, she'd probably think I'd kill her or something.

The rest of the day was spent talking about our respective cultures, beliefs and the like. It was interesting to hear how the ponies have developed over the last 1,000 years, but that also lead me to conclude that they evolve so slowly. Hardly anything but their social and living standards has changed since I was imprisoned. Whereas if I were to look back 1,000 years at the Human race, there would be an enormous difference between the level of change.

Tomorrow, Twilight says it would be best to spent time with one of her friends. Another pony who represents another Element of Harmony. At this point, I'm not sure who it is, nor do I really care, but I have the night to think about it. I guess I should also thank Twilight for giving me this blank journal to write in as well, and a bed here in her castle. Even if this bed isn't exactly big enough for me, since my feet are hanging off the end. I mean, it's like sleeping in an even smaller single bed for Christs' sake!

Well, Julian signing off I guess...
