Step into Equestria
Chapter 6 - Another Day Starts
Previous ChapterThe sun rose up and shine its blinding light through the window panels into the room in the early morning right smack on my face. This forced me to come out of my slumber since I was a light sleeper. Also unfortaneally I am one of those rare morning people, as soon as I am awake I already pulling the covers off of me to sit up. As I stretch my arms and legs to wake my muscles up, I rub my eyes as I jump up to go to the bathroom to do my morning routine.
"Yawn.... Oh man that was the craziest dream I ever had. That sure was odd how real that dream felt. Well, better get ready for the day since I must of party right after the graduation since I do not recall anything afterwards." I said as I walked to what I thought my bathroom was in my old apartment. Though as I slowly dragged my feet along the floor and rubbed my eyes some more, to my surprise, I walk right into the wall and fell backwards on my ass which snap me out of my morning daze.
"Son of a bitch!" I scream as I rubbed my head and started to open my eyes to see what the hell I ran into. As I tried to focus on what was in front of me which was a wall that completely confused me, I heard the door open beside me. When I looked over to the sound of the opening door, I see two of the ponies, Silver and Serenity, from my dream rushing in to see what was all the noise.
"What the problem, Austin?" Serenity said as she quickly scan the room and stared back to me as I looked at her with growing wide eyes and I slowly pointed a finger at her while my arm was shaking as I did so.
"Wait... you were from my dream... right? It was just a dream... Yesterday did not happen..." I said as I came back into the realization of what reality I am in and not in some dream.
"Oh it seems to cope with the events of yesterday his mind must of play yesterday off as a dream, Serenity." Silver said as Serenity seemed to be confused by my actions.
"Ah, well sorry to burst that bubble of yours but this is all real, Austin." Serenity said as she started to walk towards me. I simply just rub the front of my forehead with my hands as I calm myself down. Serenity put a hoof on my shoulder and gave me a smile as she spoke " Come on, Austin, you need to get up and get clean up for the day since it will be a pretty busy one. Sorry to say but there is no time for you to be sad or depress over the events of yesterday even if you deserve to be able to do so. The Princesses will be expecting you to be at breakfast in the dinning hall with them so they can speak to you over what to expect today."
"Sigh...Yeah I guess you are right. Thanks, Serenity." I said as I gave them both a small smile as I stood up. Though I still cannot believe this situation and not really 100% happy with it...but I remember what I decided yesterday which was the fact that I did accepted my situation. Since I am in this world now with no way back to my old one, I just got to move on... Sigh.
I got up and went through the bags on the dresser in the room which has some clothes which was brought for me yesterday. I pull out a T-Shirt, Shorts, underwear, and socks then head into the bathroom to take a shower, get clean up, and get dressed which takes me about a total of 20 or so minutes. The clothes seem a little tight in some places and seem a bit small which make sense how I am different from the humans here. Will have to deal with that later on. Walking out of the bathroom a bit happier due to feeling fresh and clean, I put on my pair of shoes on and look around the room to find Serenity and Silver not in there. Huh, I guess they went back out into the hallway again. I open up the door and walk out to the hallway to find them one of them on one side of the door to the room.
"So, I guess we should head down to the dinning hall now?" Serenity gives me a nod in response as she leads the way with Silver following behind. "Ya know... just yesterday morning I was just a newly graduated college student and not anyone special or anything. Now I am being escorted by two personal bodyguards, who happen to be ponies but not just any normal pony but a Pegasus and a Unicorn, in a overly sized castle.... to breakfast." This seemed to cause both of them to laugh and giggle.... I think this is the first time I saw Silver actually not in serious mode.
"Yeah well... we would not want the only intelligent talking human in our world to get lost or attack. So, I would better just get use to it and besides I am sure you will grow to enjoy having us around." Silver said as Serenity looked over her shoulder at me to nod in agreement.
"Yep, I am sure we are more or less here for now to make sure you are not getting lost. It can be pretty easy to get lost in here, but in time I am sure you might need us for actual protection as the rest of the world learns of your presence in our world.... would not want you to be dragged away by a couple of horny mares now would we?" Serenity said with a evil looking grin as she look at me over her shoulder.
"Uh... yeah... I rather that not happen... like at all. Though... its not like I am a complete weakling... I did learn some Muay Thai but mostly Kenpo which I was a black belt in and I even kept up with practicing every morning since I started learning back in the start of middle school. I even got some pretty decent size muscles on me." I was trying my best to show my "manliness" as I grinning to which they both just raised an eye brow to.
"Uhhh, what the heck is this... Muay Thai and Kenpo... Also could you please stop doing whatever that is and kept up besides you look a bit silly doing it." Serenity said as Silver was laughing at my antics. I quickly stop and ran to catch up since my "manliness" was simply just lost on them and sighed.
"Well they are both a form of martial art. Muay Thai is a fighting style that combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins to attack where as Kenpo is all about self-defense. I know both so I can defend myself if I need to and Muay Thai lets me use moves to attack if the situation calls for it but I rather not fight in the first place which is why I mostly focused on Kenpo."
"Oh, well that nice to know that you be able to take care of yourself if you are separated from the two of us somehow. Though let it be known that if you are attack, that you are to let us take care of said attackers and you get yourself to safety." Serenity said as she stop to turn around to look me in the eye to make sure I understood her clearly.
"I am not sure I could leave some gir...err mares... to fight..." I got cut off by Serenity as she started to push a hoof on my chest.
"I said you will get yourself to safety! Do I make myself clear?" Serenity said in a more serious tone.
"Yes, but my own morals will not let me leave a couple girls or mares to fight for me." Serenity signed and rolled her eyes as she seemed to start to get annoy with me.
"It is our job to make sure nothing happens to you and a mare job to protect a stallion as well as I am not going to let anyone hurt a stallion. I am not trying to say you cannot take care of yourself or trying to insult your morals but for us to do our jobs.... you need to do as we say." Serenity said as she looked me in the eyes.
"Well... fine. Though this sounds kinda reversed with how the roles are suppose to be." I said as I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes.
"Wait... what do you mean by reversed roles?" Silver cut in as she lean her head in a confused manor.
"Well, where I am from its the man that protects the woman from harm." I respond as I turn my attention to Silver.
"Hmmm, that interesting... and who the one that attempts courting?" Silver asked.
"Well, its the man that suppose to ask the girl out. As well as pay for the date, protect them, and provided for them. There a even a sort of unspoken rule where there with guys that you do not lay a finger on a lady. Though that the majorly of how it works in the world I come from and how I see it but it sort of depends where you come from and what part of the world you are in."
"Odd... what the ratio of men to women in your world?"
"Well it pretty much every 1 guy to 1 women."
"Well, that would pretty much explain it then. See here in Equestria... its the other way around with how you explain it as there are a lot mares to stallions. Which is why it is usually the mare responsibility to do those things you said that would be a man job from where you came from."
"Oh.... well... huh. Whats the ratio here?"
"I believe it is 6-7 mares to 1 stallion."
"Shit... well I guess I can see how that kinda works out here. Not sure if I will ever get use to the fact the roles are reversed here though."
"Yeah so you understand now?" Serenity said.
"Yeah I do even if I may not like it."
"Good. So, just let us do our jobs since we are trained to do this sort of thing... besides have you ever fought a Earth Pony, Pegasus, or Unicorn before?"
"Well... no."
"Which is why it most likely best if you leave it to us. Though that does bring up a good point that we should teach you how to fight a Pegasus or Unicorn in case you ever have to. For now lets get moving to the dinning hall before we waste any more time and end up having the Princesses search for us." Serenity said as she turn back around to lead us on.
Entering into the dinning hall, Celestia and Luna were already at the table waiting for me to arrive. I decided to just sit next to Luna who was sitting next to Celestia who sat at the head of the table yet again. Serenity and Silver both stood behind me against the wall.
"Good morning, Austin. How did you sleep?" Celestia said as Luna look at me awaiting the answer as well.
"I slept pretty well considering with everything that happen yesterday." Luna seem to raise an eyebrow and had a confused look on her face when I said that.
"Uh, if I may cut in, Princess. Silver had to put a sleep spell on him to get him to fall back asleep after he woke up about 40 or so minutes after falling asleep when he was tossing and screaming in his sleep." Serenity step forward from the wall up to Celestia.
"Wait... what? I do not recall having any nightmares or waking up during the night." I said as I tried to recall last night. Luna had a guilty look on her face since Celestia seem to see it.
"Luna, would you have anything to do with this since your face seems to say you have something to do with this." Celestia said as she stared her sister in her eyes.
"Uh, well... I might of have view his life to get an better idea of who he was by playing his past memories in his dream." Luna said as she averted her eyes from looking at her sister.
"Wait... what? You can see my dreams and my memories?"
"Yes, we have the power to enter and view people dreams and past memories as is my duty to do so as the Princess of the Night."
"So... you saw all of my memories... and the world I came from."
"Not all of your memories but those you deemed important and from those I was able to see some of your world, yes. I am sorry to have broken your privacy but I had to see the type of person you are. Which in case you are wondering, I have decided that you would not harm any of our subjects unless threaten like you have stated before and have a good kind heart which you have seen your good and bad times during your life. You are a pretty remarkable person from what I have seen so far, Austin. I hope you understand why I had to do so as well as know that what I saw will stay to only me... not even my sister will see or know what I have seen. Ok?" Luna said as she put a hoof on my shoulder and gave me a smile as she stared into my eyes.
"Well.... I am not sure how I feel about you kinda getting to see such personal events from my life, but I guess I can see why you would do so. At least it helps let you know that I am not a threat to you all and that you can trust me, but I will be keeping you to your word that what you saw stays with only you and you only. Do not even tell anything from what you saw from my world."
"Of course, Austin. Though your world is a most troublesome place... I am not sure how you humans from your world can stand such things."
"You and me both..." I said as Celestia just look at us both with a confused look as she felt left out and not knowing what we were talking about exactly.
"Well, I am glad that my sister thinks that you are a good person, Austin, and that you are not mad at my sister for her actions either." Celestia said with a warm smile.
"Yeah, I cannot be mad at her exactly though I believe I might want to speak to Luna later to see what exactly it was that she saw...." I said as my belly decided to rumble in hunger. "Heh... guess my stomach has other thoughts at the moment."
Blossom decided to appear once my stomach made its hunger known. Though I saw her yesterday in the same outfit... it is a pretty strange and odd sight to see a pony wearing a maid outfit or in any type of clothing but I guess it will just have to be something that I will have to get use to in this world.
"Good Morning, Princesses and Austin. What can I get for you all this morning?" Blossom said as she bowed to both of the princesses.
"Hmmm, I'll take some french toast and scramble eggs with some toast n jelly. You can get me some orange juice to drink." Celestia said.
"I'll take some chocolate chip pancakes and some hash browns with some toast with jelly as well. Water is fine for me." Luna said as she lick her lips at the thought of what she ordered. After writing down her order, Blossom came up to me to which yet again to put me on the spot on what I was suppose to order as if I knew.
"Uhhh... I'll just do what Luna order as that sounds really good as well but I'll take some apple juice to drink." I said as I rubbed my head nervously. Luna looked over to me with a smile as she heard what I ordered. Blossom went out of the room after finish writing my order down.
"Oh, you like Chocolate chip pancakes as well? They are most wonderful to have! I could eat them for every meal of the day even for dinner." Luna said with this overly happy expression.
"Well it is dinner for you, Sister." Celestia chimed in.
"I just went ahead with breakfast food since you all are having it..." Luna said as she had a hoof on her lips that seem to droll as she look at her empty plate.
"Uh-huh suuuurrreee... whatever makes you happy my dear sister." Celestia said with a sarcastic tone. "Just make sure you are eating healthy... you do not want to relive that week when you ate nothing but chocolate chip pancakes when we were both fillies do you?"
"Ugh... do not remind me of that week. I swear I felt sick for a whole month afterwards." Luna grumbled as she set her head onto the table and hold her stomach at the memory of it.
"Well I hate to break the nostalgic mood between the two of you but what the game plan for me today?"
"Oh right sorry, Austin. You will be spending the day with Luna since night court for tonight has been cancel and I shall be busy with day court. Luna will guide you back to Lyra lab this morning at Lyra request and which by then Princess Cadance and Twilight along with the bearers of the elements will arrive in which case we will all meet up for lunch. Afterwards I am sure you will be dealing with Luna, Cadance, and Twilight and her friends for the rest of the day most likely. You will also meet two more guards tonight at some point to protect you during the night."
"Well that sounds like a fun day. Though I am not sure I am all too happy about going back to see Lyra again and what are these other guards like?"
"Oh I said I would make sure she does nothing to you again, Austin. As for the two new guards of yours are from my lunar guard. I hoof pick them myself." Luna said with a grin.
Blossom came back into the room at this time with a cart filled with what we had ordered and set each of our orders in front of us with her magic before bowing yet again and turning around to leave. I dug into my scramble eggs and toast first which tasted amazing. The grape jelly for the toast was really sweet and a lot better then any that I had before. It was the same with the pancakes as I can see why Luna would only eat these for every meal of the day. After we finish eating our meals, Celestia told us that she would see us at lunch and took her leave to day court. Luna got up and told me to follow her and we walked out into the hallway with Serenity and Silver following behind us as we walked off to Lyra's Lab.
"So, Luna... what all did you see from my memories?" I say as I walk beside her as look at her.
"Oh... right. So, we did see the events of your parents death and you during college until you graduated. I am sorry for your lost. Though what I saw of your world frightens me. Your world is just one big chaotic place filled with war, starvation, diseases, greed, and just a whole lot of problems." Luna said as she kept looking forward.
"Oh... well... thanks I guess. Though please know that I am not like other humans from my world nor do I approve of the stuff that you saw, Luna."
"Yes, we know. We saw some earlier instances or glimpse of what seem you protecting a girl from some older gentleman... though I did not know why you were doing so but you did take a beating from him till another adult intervene."
"Oh... heh... you saw that. Well, the guy who saved me ended up being my Kenpo and Muay Thai instructor. He taught me a lot of different things which I make sure to follow daily."
"Yes... you seem very dedicated to it as in your life you seem happy during your times that you are training."
"Yeah... while I am training I feel like I am in my own peaceful world and just able to focus on myself while not having to worry about the rest of the world and its effect on me." Luna look at me and gave me a smile.
"Which is why we believe you to be a good soul and not a threat to our subjects. After seeing those memories, we know it to be sure." I gave Luna a small smile as we came up to the two door leading into Lyra's Lab.
"So... it not too late to just turn around now right?" I said as I was given a push from behind me by Silver as I saw both Luna and Serenity roll their eyes at me. As we past the doors and got into the lab, I saw Lyra in a clean lab coat as she sat at a workbench with my smart phone in different pieces. I was about to say something till I saw two more of them right next to them.
"Oh so you went ahead and made copies of the phone since yesterday?" Silver said as she walk up to the side of Lyra. Lyra turn to look at her then turn to see the rest of us standing in her lab.
"Well yes I did which means Austin you can have the original back. Do not worry the copies only have the songs still on them and not your personal pictures. I made sure to make physical pictures of all of those!" Lyra said as she pulled a case filled with pictures.
"Oh..... yeah... that totally..... makes it better but thanks for getting this back to me." I said as I mentally facepalm and sighed.
"Of course and I made sure to charge it up fully for you too." Lyra said as she was starting to show Silver some of the pictures from the folder.
"Oh before we get caught up in these pictures Lyra, I have learn something new about how relationships work & views on males and females of human from Austin's world. You know how here we have mares are the more "dominate" sex here right? Well back from Austin's world, the males are the one who are the more "dominate" ones. To think to have a stallion ask you out or be the one to protect you and do everything possible to treat you special." Silver said all excited like. Luna ears seem to perk up at this and she walked over to them to listen in. I looked over to see Serenity just roll her eyes and take guard next to a door at the entrance of the lab.
"Oh this is most interesting. I wonder how that is though? Are there more males then females from where he at?" Lyra asked.
"No, actually its apparently 1 male to 1 female in his world." Silver explained.
"Ah, so that would explain some of the stuff I saw in Austin's memories then." Luna said joining in the conversation.
"Oh you saw his world? You must share those memories to me to farther my studies." Lyra said all excited at the thought of being able to see a new world. I finally pick up where the conversation was heading and hope Luna would stay true to her word as I watch the three of them talk about me.
"I am sorry, Lyra. As much as I know it would help out some with your research... I made a promise to Austin that I would keep these memories to myself." Luna said which cause Lyra to pout at hearing that.
"So, what exactly are we doing back down here anyways or why did I have to come down here?" I said wanting to change the subject.
"Oh yes, sorry. I wanted to apologized for my actions yesterday. I would have you know that anything I did was truly academic and nothing more I assure you. Also, I wanted to return your phone as well in case you wanted to have it back. That pretty much it." Lyra said as she gave me a reassuring smile.
"Oh well, thanks for the phone back and I guess I can forgive you as long as it does not happen again."
"Great!" Lyra said as she clap her hooves together.
"So if that is everything... may I be on my way then?" I asked.
"Oh yes you may. Thank you for taking some time to come down." With that I turn to walk out of the lab which Luna followed me out of along with Serenity. I saw Lyra and Silver going over the pictures that were in the folder again before I left the lab.
"So, what are we to do now, Luna?" I asked as the princess caught up and was walking besides me as we exited the lab.
"I believe we should make our way to go meet the others so we can get every pony introduce with each other before we meet up with my sister for lunch. They should be here by now and Tia should have directed them to one of the living rooms. We should go see my sister to see where it was that she sent them." Luna replied.
So, we ended up walking to the throne room which I waited outside the door while Luna went to go speak with Celestia. After a couple of minutes she came back out as she gesture to follow her. As we came up to what I believe to be the room due to us stopping outside of the door, I could hear lots of different voices inside but unable to really make anything out besides a lot of feminine voices coming from inside. The voices stop as Luna knocked on the door and announced that we were entering inside.
As I walked in I saw a bunch of ponies but only caught a glimpse of inside the room before my sight was filled with a pony who eyes where un-naturally huge and all I could smell was cotton candy. I yelped in fright as I jumped back due to being surprised which she found funny. I tried to calm down at the sudden release of adrenaline which was pump into my blood stream and could feel my heart just pounding away while the pony was speaking faster then I could understand her. I only made out a couple things like her name being Pinkie Pie, asking questions about me I guess, and something about a party before being engulf in a purple glow and drag back to the other ponies in the room who were all shaking their heads.
I was able to get a better look at all the other ponies in the room as they were speaking to Pinkie Pie about not trying to scare me and something else but I just ignore it as something else caught my attention. I heard some laughter coming from besides me and behind me, as I turn to stare at Serenity behind me who look away still giggling as she took up a position at the door. I turn to look at Luna who seemed to be calming down from her laughter and motion for us to sit at the table. I took my seat next to Luna as I look at the other sitting at the round table.
"So, Auntie Celestia told us that you would inform why we were all summon here, Auntie Luna and I am guessing it has something to do with the odd looking human here?" The Pink Alicorn said.
"Yes, you are correct Cadance and along with some other things." Luna replied.
"So, what so important about this human here that could call for an emergency meeting so suddenly?" The purple alicorn asked.
I saw Luna just smirk at the question and turn to me "Care to explain to them, Austin?" They all turn their focus on me with looks of confusion as I rolled my eyes at Luna as I caught on to what she wanted me to do but I decided to mess back with Luna. I simply decided to stare at her blankly for about 10 seconds before lending my head to my side like a dog does when its confused. This simply caused Luna to face hoof at me playing dumb. The other ponies look back at Luna even more confused as I could hear Serenity trying her best not to laugh.
"Ummm, you do know humans are very intelligent creature who are unable to speak right, Auntie?" Cadance asked Luna.
Luna was about to respond as I cut her off as I turn my attention to Cadance.
"Well.... I hate to burst a hole in that theory of yours....but.... yeah..." I said as all I got in return from the other ponies were a bunch of gasp as Luna shook her head at me.
"Was that really necessary to play dumb like that and make me look like some crazy pony?" Luna asked.
"Well, I thought it would be nice to mess with them since the whole "he can talk" gag is starting to get old and I thought a little pay back was in order for laughing at me getting scared by that one named Pinkie Pie." I responded with a smirk. This cause Luna to huff at me in annoyance as she turn her attention back to the others.
About 30 minutes past as I explain everything that happen to me yesterday (left out certain parts for obvious reason) which they all look sad when I told them how I was pretty much stuck here and once I finish Luna took over.
"So, the other reason you were called her is to speak about our conversation we had with Discord. We suspect he is up to something against us again and we need to be...." Luna was cut off as another voice cut her off.
"I am up to something but you seem to have it all mixed up as I am helping you all to prepare for the future." The voice came from the lamp in the middle of the table before it transform into Discord. "Sorry to come uninvited but I just had to see where all my dear friends were running off to."
"Discord you have a lot of nerves to show your face around me after what you have said to me yesterday and what you have done to me in the past." Luna said as she glared at Discord with annoyance and anger in her voice. "Explain yourself quickly and hope my patience does not wear out before you are able to."
"Ah yes, well I may have play a part in nudging you along back then..... but even if I have not done so you would have ended up the same and you know this. I do however apologize for my actions as I am not the same as I once was that you know me as and was in stone when it occur but you know how chaos magic is. I cannot always control it always when it does have a mind of its own. As for yesterday, I said I brought the human here to help you all in the upcoming events. Though I simply thought of creating a human that was intelligent and could talk as it would be funny like I stated before... but as you all know that was not the case for this. You will need all the help you can get, Luna. There are those who will look to see Equestria destroy and will act to do so in the future. What will happen or who will attack... I am not certain but I know that in due time it will happen and I would like to do my best to help." Discord respond.
I look at Discord with a bit of hate as he was so cruel to my unfortunate situation that was his fault in the first place. I look over at Luna who seem to be lost in her own thoughts as she was properly thinking about her past. I turn my attention back to Discord and I simply lost it...
"So that sounds like a bunch of bullshit. If I recall that you were laughing at my situation and its because of you that I am now fucking stuck here unable to return to my world and I believe I owe you a thanks. For when you brought me into this world, you cause me to break some bones and inflict other injuries so thank you asshole for that." I yelled as I quickly stood up from my chair and glared at him in anger.
"Well as for your situation, yes... I am responsible for it in a way and I have an odd sense of humor and I do feel sorry for your situation even if I may not show it. It is simply just the way who I am and just how my personality is. Only recently have I given up my past of taking over Equestria due to the six ponies that are in here.... expectually miss Fluttershy here. As for the way you arrive here yet again sort of my fault but chaos magic has a mind of its own but I am sorry for causing you any pain. I know you may always hate me but I do hope you will full fill your role in the upcoming events and help protect Equestria. Now I will be on my way to inform Celestia of my plans since I have explain myself to Luna and inform you of why you are here. Ciao!" Discord explain and left with a poof.
I sighed and rub my head as I did not know what to think of that one but I still hate him. I look over at Luna who seem to be in her thoughts still as I heard the others speak between their selves.
"So, what he says about him being this changed person or whatever... is that true? Can we trust that jerk?" I asked the others.
"Well, even though he might seem insensitive to other feelings at first... he does have a heart in him and he has change for the better." Fluttershy said.
"Ya, we might of had a ruff patch with him when we started to get to know him but he grows on ya once ya git to know him besides I can tell he is speaking the truth with what he said. " Applejack added.
"Well, I have been told about how you all are the bearers of the Elements of Harmony and all but I believe Princess Celestia will know best, right Princess Luna?" Hearing her name cause Luna to snap out of her own little world and look up at me.
"Oh... yes. Sorry I was caught up in my own thoughts. My sister can certainly deal with Discord and we will see what she decides. Since it is getting close to lunch I think we should go ahead and meet up with her actually to get her thoughts on the matter."
As Luna finished we all got up and headed off to the dinning room. I stayed by Luna side while I could hear bits and pieces of the others speaking about me and about Discord. We all filed into the dinning room to see Celestia already there waiting for us to arrive. I took my seat yet again next to Luna as Cadance sat on the other side of the table next to Celestia and the bearers of the elements all next to her on the other side of the table leaving me and Luna to ourselves on the other side. Cadance, Celestia and others got caught up as we order our lunch. Once we order, Celestia decided to get down to business.
"So, is everyone informed on why we are all here and what it is we are going to be discussing?" Celestia asked which she got a bunch of nods in return. "Good. So who would like to start?"
"I think I will start this off first." I said which Celestia simply gave me a nod to continue. "You had a discussion with Discord after he meet with us correct, Princess Celestia?" Yet again she simply nodded yes. "So, do you believe what he says?" This caused Celestia to think for a moment before she spoke.
"Yes, he told me about what he spoke about to you and my sister. I do believe him expectually after all he been through recently. He may not show it but I am sure in his heart and soul that he does care and honestly is worried about whatever is in store for Equestria in the future. As for what that is or when it will happen is unknown to us but we must be prepared. This is why I have called you all here so you know to keep your eyes open for anything out of the ordinary. I am not saying you have to change anything in your daily routine but if you find something that not right then you should inform the rest of us. We do not want to tip off whatever it may be wanting to cause us harm that we know that something is a mist. Does every pony understand?" Celestia got a bunch of nods and yes from everyone. "Good since that little thing is settle then we can discuss about the bigger reason why you are all here which deals with our friend Austin is here."
"Yeah we heard of a bit of Austin journey here and why Discord brought something like him here but what seem exactly is the problem here, Auntie?" Cadance asked.
"Well, it is sure to create a lot of strife with my little ponies once the fact of Austin gets out. I know most of it will be good things but there are those might do harm to him or see him as a threat. Also, Austin has not seen a whole lot of the world outside the castle besides the incident when he first arrived and is going to need some ponies to help introduce him to Equestria. So for now I was thinking that Twilight and her friends could help Austin with that." Twilight ears perked up when she heard her mentor say her name.
"Of course, Celestia. We would be happy to do that. Right girls?" The others nodded their heads and agreed.
"Good. Now he may be structurally different from the humans here but he should pass off here in Canterlot as the ponies like to keep their humans clean and even clothed so he should be able to pass off as just another human if he was to go with the 6 of you to explore Canterlot and get introduce to the world here and also give you all a chance to get to know each other. Course, this means Austin will have to play the part of acting like the rest of the humans here until the world knows of his existence.... that is if Austin agrees to this." Celestia and the other all turn their attention to me.
"Uh... wait that means I would be walked around like some mindless pet and be drag around with a collar?" I asked as I recalled of what I saw the other day with how humans were walked around like pets.
"Unfortunately yes... that is the idea and it is a law that all humans be on a leash at all times." Celestia turn her attention over to Serenity who was stand behind me against the wall. "Serenity, this means that you and Silver will stay here as it might cause some questions as to why there are two royal guards following behind Austin along with the bearers of the elements."
"Of course, Princess." Serenity responded. "If you beg my leave I shall go find Silver and inform her."
"Of course, Serenity. This might be a good time to meet up with the other guards and inform them all you know about Austin and get to know each other." Celestia responded. After Serenity bowed to the Princesses and told me goodbye, she disappeared as she walk out of the dinning room. After she left, Celestia turn her attention back over to me which I simply sighed and gave her my answer.
"Yeah I guess that I can deal with for now since I am interested to see the city and see the culture of this place. Though how do you plan to let the world know of my existence?"
"Me, Luna and Cadance will be discussing that while you are gone and hopefully will have an answer for you by tomorrow." Celestia answer. As she finished talking, we were brought our lunch and ate and I said my goodbyes to Celestia, Luna, and Cadance as I went and followed Twilight and her friends out of the dinning hall.
