------------------------------------Princess Celestia-------------------------------------------

"Discord, you seem to have some explaining to do." I said with annoyance in my voice.

"Oh my, Princess Celestia. How rude of you, to first interrupt my reading time by summoning me here and then greeting me with such a tone." Discord said as he made his book and glasses disappear and with a poof, he appear into a seat at the table.

"Spare me, Discord. I would like for you to explain why this intelligent talking human is here." I was not in the mood to deal with his usual antics and wanted to know what he was up to.

"Oh, I see no human here. I only see a unicorn, a Pegasus, you, and oh my, it seems like your little jealous sister, Luna, is finally back from her 1000 year vacation from the moon."

"How dare thou speak as such, thinking it be thy fault when it was thou who cast your chaotic magic that made we into that monster! If be not for thine sister, I would cast thee back into stone!" Luna scream with her royal canterlot voice. An aura of anger and pain seem to just flow from Luna as she scream. Every pony in the room seem to just back away as she was screaming even Discord.

Before Luna became too angry to stop herself from trying something against Discord, I brought one of my wings around Luna and looked at her with a smile. "Shhh, its ok, my dear sister." Luna started to cry as she bury her face into my chest. As I return the hug, I heard Discord start to talk again..."Awww, Isnt that..."

I stop him when I gave him a mean glare. "I'd watch what you say before I turn you back into a stone statue!"

"Ugh... fine."

As I held my sister, I saw Austin stand up and sit back into his chair. He seemed to be staring at Discord who seem to be ignoring him on purpose. I sigh as I started to calm myself as well, I look back at Discord.

"Now let us just skip your little playtime where you would knowingly denied any responsibility for the human here and explain yourself as I seem to be running dry on my patience with you. What is your reason for bring Austin into this world, Discord?"

"Tssk... you just got to ruin my fun, Celestia. Well fine but do you not enjoy my creation that I made for you?" Discord said with a huge grin.

Did he just said creation? Does he not know that Austin is from another world? If that is true, it would seem that he still is unable to fully control his chaos magic even after thousand of years of having it... I was about to question him about it when Austin beat me to it.

"What do you mean creation? You did not create me. You stole me from my own world and force me into this world!" Austin said with anger behind his voice.

As I watch Discord reaction to what Austin had said to him, he quickly turn his attention over to him with a face of shock. So.. my theory is true then.

"What.... that is not possible. You are exactly as I envision you to be to the detail. Same color hair, skin, and eyes. Your shape and size is the same. There no way that I summon you." Discord said with an ounce of annoyance in his voice. "There is no way that you can prove otherwise."

Chaos magic is as a double edge sword. Yes... it pretty much has the ability to do anything that one can think of but at the same time it does have a mind of its own. Which is why Chaos magic is illegal expectantly after the last pony who used it. Discord most likely made a image in his mind of how the human look and made sure that he was intelligent and could speak. Of course, his reason must be to only entertain himself but apparently his magic had plans of it own... it would not be the first time he could not control his magic but then again making him believe that is impossible unless some how proving it.

"If you want proof then just look at these pictures then!" Austin said as he pulled an odd device from his pocket. We were all shocked as he showed Discord different pictures from his own world from his odd device. Though this only cause Discord to start bursting into laughter.

"What is so funny, Discord? You seem to still not to be able to fully control your magic even after all of this time." I said smugly. He kept on laughing as look at us multiple time expecting a reason from one of us on why he is laughing. When none of us answered him, he had a huge grin on his face.

"Tssk..Even if I may still not be able to control my magic..." he said with some annoyance in his voice "however.... you all seem to be missing out on what this means."

"What are you trying to say, Discord?" I said as I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Well, if it was the magic and not me who summon him... then that just means he is stuck here! You know as well as I this to be true, Celestia. I was his last hope when you called on me. This is just so much better then I had plan! " Discord said smugly.

Well, that the issue with chaos magic. Since it was the magic acting on its own and not Discord then he does not know where it is he summon him from... and since it was the magic doing it on its own and it being the reason that Austin is here... there is no way that it will send him back. I turn my attention onto Austin as all emotion left his face as he blankly stare at Discord. I felt bad for him as not only did he only recently figure out that he has been yank from his world but the one sign of hope to be able to send him back home has been slam in his face before he even started to think about it.

"Well, since your reason for calling me here is no longer valid... I shall be taking my leave." Discord said as he poof out of his seat and into the air with a suitcase in one hand and was put on his sunglasses again with the other.

"You still have not explain your reasoning for bring him here, Discord. What are you planning?"

"Oh well now... it is still to early to reveal my masterpiece yet as it is only in the very beginning stages, my dear Celestia. Though do not fret over it as for the human here is nothing but a piece that I place onto the chess board of things on your side, Celestia. So, you do not have to worry about him. I have, however, enjoy seeing your reaction to this though and we should do this again as it was fun... for me. Adieu!" And with a snap of a finger, Discord was gone in a flash.

"Finally he gone... this does not sound very good, Princess Celestia. Sounds like Discord has things in store for us in the future." Serenity said as she took a less aggressive stance as Silver let out a sigh of relief. I turn to Serenity and as I look at her, I thought over everything that had been said.

"It would seem so, Serenity. Though I am not sure what he has plan for us but it would seem as in the case of Austin here... unfortunately.. Discord is right about him being stuck here." I said as I turn to look to see what the state Austin seem to be in at the moment. He had his elbows on the table with his head lower into his hands as he seem to be looking at a picture on his odd device. I felt my heart ache for him as he did not move and just seem to be a broken mess at that moment. I turn to look at Luna who had now seem to be her normal self and staring at Austin. She eventually look up at me with a worry look and asked "So, what is to become of Austin now?". I took another glance at Austin and replied " I'm not sure, Sister. Let us see how he is taking this situation first." I turned my attention back over at Austin who mood had not change nor had move an inch.

"Austin?" I asked. He seemed to not hear me as he kept his attention locked onto the picture on his device.

"Austin?" I called out again...

------------------------------------------Austin-----------------------------------

What Discord had said was echoing in my head. I had just found out 100% that I was no longer on Earth. Though before I could even think about a way to return to Earth... it seem like the hand of destiny came forth and bitch slap me as it slam the door that lead back to earth in my face. Just to only have the door burst into flames as the ashes were blown away. Sure, I did not have very much of a life back on Earth but I just work my butt off to get through college to change all that. A thought came to mind that there were these magical creatures in front of me. Yeah, of course maybe they could use their magic and for all I know... Discord could be lying out of his teeth. I heard the other ponies in the middle of a discussion. As I wanted to know what they were saying to each other... I listen in... "but it would seem as in the case of Austin here... unfortunately.. Discord is right about him being stuck here." I heard Celestia said.

...............Fate you are cruel to me.

I focus on the picture of my parents in front of me. Memories of years past seem to flash of my time on Earth. Well, I guess it is better to know now then only to waste time with the hope I might be able to return later on to find out that it is simply impossible. I will have to just accept my situation as I have been dealt with and move on. My parents "saying of wisdom" (they would call it) flew into my mind "We just want you to be able to live life to the fullest, never to have any regrets, to do what you want to do that makes you happy and smile, and above all else do what allows me to just be myself.". It seem to comfort me some, as it made me smile as I stare at their picture for the last time. To make things easier with living here I wanted to get rid of anything that remind me of home. As I use my right hand to turn off my phone, I had my head laying on my left hand as I look at my parents smiling faces for the last time while the phone went through the process of power off. I let out a small sigh as the phone turn off....

"AUSTIN! Are thou ok?" Luna voice boom as she use her royal canterlot voice. I jump back in my seat almost flipping the chair on the back only to have some luck as I caught the table with my left hand to pull my self forward while I grab my chest with my right hand. I was breathing pretty hard as loads of adrenaline was pumping through my body. I looked up at Luna and just let out a heavy sigh.

"Besides almost suffering a heart attack, I believe I am ok... though I rather you all not use that overly loud voice to get my attention again." I saw all four ponies staring at me with concern expression on their faces.

"We are sorry to have scared you but you were ignoring our sister as she was calling out your name." Luna said.

"Oh... my bad, Princess Celestia. I was just thinking about what to do since it would seem that fate has wanted me to be here." I said as I started to look back at my phone again.

"Oh please do not apologize, Austin. So, what is it that you have decided to do with your current situation?"

"Well, to simply see what fate would have in store and play with the hand I have been dealt with. Looking on the bright side, no human from Earth has ever had a chance to be in the place like this that would seem to be out of a fantasy book. If I heard Discord right, it would also seem that you all are going to be facing some troubles ahead and I would like to help in anyway possible. I would not mind getting back at Discord as well." I said as I gave them a smile. "If I am going to be able to live here happy though I am going to have to get rid of anything that reminds me of what would be my past life." I grab my phone and stared at it again before I look back the ponies in the room. "So, which mean I will have to destroy this."

"Wait, if you want to dispose of it maybe we can take it to study it. It could provide useful to us in some sort of way." Celestia said as she had her eye on my phone. "I would also like to learn what I can of Humans from this planet called "Earth" as well."

"Sure, knock yourself out." I said as I slid my phone over to Celestia. She grab a hold of it with her magic as she turn her attention to Serenity and Silver and gave the phone to Silver.

"If you two could take this and give it to... her... down in the labs here in the palace and inform her of Austin as well. Also, make sure she does not break it like the stone tablet that we found before."

In unison both the ponies saluted Celestia and reply with "Yes, Princess Celestia!" before they left the the room with the phone in tow. When Celestia saw that they were gone, she turn back at me. "So, what was your world like, Austin? How was your world humans structure?"

I was a bit confused with what she was trying to ask... "Well, the world I came from can be a pretty nice place but at the same time it is a dark and cruel place to live in. Countries were always going to war with each other throughout our history. I am not sure how humans are exactly like here but war was a big issues on Earth. There are humans who have a heart of a saint that would do anything for a fellow human but at the same time there humans who are just evil at heart. Why do you ask?"

"Hmm, well how was your life on Earth if I may ask?"

"Well, it has not been too bad as I had a decent childhood and even my teens years were alright. It was hard after High School when my parents both died in a car crash but I manage to move on and achieve a goal of getting two bachelor degree from College." I looked at Celestia with a eyebrow raise as I tried to figure out what she was getting at.

"Hmm, well you seem to process a strong will to get past something like that." Celestia started to look at me as to try and read me like some book. She started whispering with Luna as they held some sort of conversation for a minute before they turn their attention back onto me.

"Well, Austin, you seem to have proper manners as you had been addressing us properly. As well you seem to have a good look on life and a good heart. I believe I can trust you..." She stop and not only did her facial expression but her body gave this serious look as this intimidating aura of power came off her before she finish. "...though I must warn you that if you hurt any of my subjects in any way without them threatening you or being in a life or death situation... you will be be dealing with me and I will warn you now that is not in your best interests. Do I make myself crystal clear?"

I had slouch in my seat to hide myself when her attitude changed as I stared at her. Like hell I would hurt anyone in the first place, but there no way in hell I would fuck with this creature who had an aura that seem like it would come off from a god. As I sat back up in my chair I gave her my answer "Yes, Princess Celestia, you have made yourself very... clear. I would like for you to know that I would never in my life hurt any of your subject. My morals that I stand by is actually that I would do anything to protect them. I would do anything to protect those who were unable to defend their selves. I know that my parents would be disappointed in me if I did anything less then that."

"Good. I am glad to hear that." She said as she gave me a smile.

"So, what happens to me now?" I ask. Her smile seem to fade which I did take comfort to see as I look at Luna who had the same expression of worry on her face as her sister.

"Well... for now I think it best that you stay here in the palace."

"Ok... but may I ask why? You all seem to be worried about something that has to deal with me after I ask that. I can see it written on your faces." They both looked at each other and nodded before turning back to me.

"Well, as you know... you are the first intelligent talking human in the world. That does not change the fact that you are human and humans are treated as pets and even as possessions here in Equestria."

"Yeah I got a glimpse of that but what exactly happens to humans here in this country? How could it affect me?" Celestia and Luna started to whisper between themselves again before Celestia answer me.

"Well, humans are usually treated with love and taken good care of. Though at the same time they are also used to help on farms and other jobs but treated fairly and still taken good care of. There are some things you might not like though as they are also use to.... help release certain...stress... or urges that ponies have." As Celestia started to blush and cough as she finish that statement. Luna was looking away from both me and Celestia as her face was red.

"What do you mean certain stress or urg...." I stop as I saw both of the looks they had... "Oh...Oooooohhhhh..." I started to go red as I realized what Celestia meant and was trying to say.

"Anyways... that is not the only thing. There are even worse things that happen to humans here over the years... they have been used as sacrifices in some occults, force to fight each other to the death in illegal gambling rings, they have been the target of murders, worked as slaves until they die, are even stolen from their owners to be sold illegally, and in some cases are used as a source of food but that barely ever occurs here in Equestia since ponies do not eat living creatures." Celestia sighed before continuing. "Though these sort of things do not occur very often... they unfortunately still do occur. I am sure that there are going to be ponies who would want to have you since you are a intelligent human to fulfill their own selfish reasons. There is also the reason Discord wanted some thing like you to exist in this world as well which I would like to avoid at this time and it could cause unknown effects in our world. Just to make thing easier on us for now, we will like to keep you a secret and have you stay here in the palace as we try to figure up what Discord is planning."

I just stared at Celestia as she explain about what can occur to humans here and at the end of it I had a feeling this was not just some nice little fantasy land with magical ponies and stuff. No... this place sounds like the same as Earth just with the dangerous mythical creatures mixed in as well. As she mention Discord name, I started to think about what all he had said before. He sure must have some sort of beef with Celestia and there seem to be some sort of history with her and Luna. I wonder if Celestia would explain it to me since I got mixed into this mess...

"So, Celestia... Discord seems to have some sort of beef with you to be going out of his way to be planning something big and there seems to be some history between you, Luna, and him. What is his deal anyways?" Celestia did not look at me and seem to be remembering some memory from her past. I look at Luna who was starting at her sister for a bit and she eventually turn her attention to me when she notice that Celestia was caught up in her thoughts.

"Well, Discord has been a thorn in our sight for many years. He is the reason why I turn into this monster and tried to destroy my sister whom did the only thing she could do and banish her little sister to the moon for 1000 years..." Luna started to go on but was stop short by me cutting in.

"Wait, hold up here... 1000 years? There no way you all could live for 1000 years... right?"

"Well, normal ponies, unicorns, and pegasus can not live that long, but me and my sister are not that if you have yet to notice. We are immortal creature in the sense that we can live forever unless something unnatural kills us. We are called Alicorns though the other two that exist will have extended lives they will not live forever like me and my sister as we got our powers from our parents who were the first Alicorns but past on their immorality to us when me and my sister were born.

"Oh, that clears up some things...anyways sorry to have cut you off. Please, continue your story."

"Where was I... oh right.. so... he turn me into that monster called Nightmare Moon and before that he use to rule Equestria with his chaos magic for a long time as he oppressed the ponies that lived here for a very long time before me and my sister put a stop to that. He even..." Luna stop as she seem to do her best to not cry as she continue. "... he killed our parents all those many years ago on purpose. Like I said before... if not for my sister I would turn him back to stone. He is a creature of chaos and has always been one and he just find enjoyment as he cause chaos around him. "

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that about your parents, Princess Luna." I said as I gave Luna a small smile. Celestia look up at Luna and then at me and let out a sigh as we both turn to look at her.

"That is actually not all true....Yes he did kill our parents but it was an accidental one and actually he use to be a unicorn before that unfortunate accident happen..." Celestia said. Luna look at her sister in shock.

"Wh...what... are you talking about, Sister? You never said anything about this before." Luna said as she shacked her head in disbelief.

"Well, you were to young to remember when it happen. I would of told you sooner but things kept on popping up that would distract me from telling you." Celestia said as she looked at her.

"Wait... you said he was a unicorn before... how did he turn into that errr...thing?" I asked just confused.

"It was back about a month before our parents died. Discord use to be a well known unicorn and was our parents top adviser. He stumble across the magic of chaos on accident one night. He started to become obsessed with learning everything he could with it but when our parents came to see him that fateful night... he lost control of the magic which killed our parents and is when he turn into that creature of chaos... into a Draconequus. He seem to slowly just lose his mind as I tired a couple of times back then to get through to him but to no avail. Over the years he just lost any memories of the time as a unicorn and only knows of his time as a Draconequus." Luna seemed to be at a lost of words for a while. The room feel silent until Luna finally spoke up.

"Thank you for finally telling this to us, Sister." Luna said as she gave Celestia a hug.

"So... what would be the plan now?" I spoke up after their little bonding moment.

"I will have to call for the other Princess to inform them of the current situation and I am sure they will want to meet you as well. Also, we will have Princess Twilight bring along her friends as well to inform them as well. After that..." Celestia was cut off when Serenity and Silver came back into the room. "Ah so they are back finally. Serenity and Silver do you still agree to what we discuss on our way here?" Celestia said as she turn her attention to them.

"Yes I do, Princess Celestia. I would most enjoy the assignment." Serenity said proudly.

"Good to hear and what about yourself, Silver?" Celestia look at Silver who was staring at me. She turn her attention back to Celestia and responded with "Yes, Princess Celestia. I have always wanted to learn more about humans and become better familiar with their anatomy, so that I could take better care of them."

As I had this look of confusion and worry on my face as I look at Celestia and attempt to speak.. "Whhhat.. d...d...does she mean... to become better... familiar... with human anatomy. She not... going to... cut me up.. is she?"

They all looked at each other and started to laugh as Celestia answer me "No... no. She not going to cut you up. She is a field doctor who has study basic human anatomy. She is the one who took care of you and heal you back up when these two found you. While we were walking to this room to talk, I was speaking to them about how they found you, how they heal you, what they experience, and if they would like to take on a certain assignment which is to be your personal guards which they have both agree to. Even though you will be inside the palace for the time being, they will take this time to get to know you and how to best do their jobs when the time comes that you go out into the world here."

"Oh... interesting. I never had bodyguards before." I started to like this idea and would make me less worried about being here if I had them to always back me up.

"Well as much as I would so love to continue this conversation and get to know you more, Austin. I do have to get back to my royal duties and inform the others of the situation at hand. I leave you in the hands of my sister and your guards." Celestia said as she got out of her chair and left the room.

I turn my attention over to Luna who hop out of her chair and went to talk to Serenity and Silver. After a minute had past, Serenity and Silver saluted Luna and left the room to do whatever Luna told them I assumed. As I got out of my seat and stood up, Luna lifted a hoof and wave at me to follow her.

"Let us go meet our adviser and top scientist when it comes to humans. I am sure she is dying to meet you and might be helpful that you teach her about that device of yours before she ends up breaking it."

Author's Note

Well, I learn one thing with this chapter is that I do not enjoy writing world building for long periods of time. I tired to make things as interesting as I could and I hope you are able to enjoy it.

I hope you all enjoy it and let me know how I did and your all thoughts on this chapter.
