Russet Flame: Landing In Equestria
2: Princess Celestia
Previous ChapterI walked into Twilights library. It was stocked full of books like in the cartoon. It had every book you could dream of…
*CRUNCH!* The pod landed outside as Twilight let go of her magic telekinesis. I walked outside and laughed as Twilight was looking at the machine with a magnifying glass.
“Hey, Twilight, I can show you where the ‘magic’ happens.” I say as I try to pry open the engine compartment. Crud, it’s stuck.
“Let me get that for you… What’s your name?” Twilight asked as she used her magic to open the compartment.
“It’s Russet Flame. Please just call me Russet.” I reply, “Now, look. This is made to run without magic. It burns fuel to make energy my turning pistons… Did you just get that?”
“Yep, Russet. It’s amazing that this machine runs without magic.” Twilight said.
“I think you can say that. Let me explain with more depth…”
“…and that’s how I need refuel the machine for it to work.” I finish.
Twilight just gaped and scratched her head. Then she noticed a setting sun and yawned. “Wow. That was tiring for even me to listen, and I am known for long lectures.”
“You need to sleep or something?” I asked.
“Yep” Twilight said. I looked at her and said, “Are you like forgetting something?”
“What?” Twilight seemed puzzled.
“It seems I don't have a place to stay…” I said kind of remorsefully when Twilight jumped up. “Sure, you can stay at mine. I have a spare couple rooms. It will be cool to find out more about the pod and your mysterious appearance-“ She cut herself off, as she realised what she just said and blushed.
Twilight’s POV
I showed Russet to his room and went to mine. He seemed like some interesting guy and there are some mysterious things about him. But why did I blush and cut myself off? I didn't do that on my very own. Was I…
I woke up and stretched myself. Another day of research, I guess. I climb out of my bed and remember what I admitted to my head. What was I thinking?
I trotted downstairs to find a weird sight, as well as very surprising.
Princess Celestia was in the room. I instantly bowed and said, “Princess Celestia.”
“I have come here to investigate the mysterious appearance of Russet Flame, the supposed never seen before pony.” She said, “Can you wake him up and bring him down?” I got up and nodded. I opened his door, and said, “Russet, wake up!”
“*Groan* No, thanks.”
“Princess Celestia is here. she want’s to talk to you.”
“SAY WHAT?” Russet yelled and ran out of bed and downstairs. I followed in a more calm manner.
“So, Russet. I heard you appeared in a portal a day ago and crashed in that pod outside.” Celestia
“Yeah, It’s a long story, but it’s not worth telling.” Russet replied.
“And that pod flies without magic?”
“Yes.”
The questions went on for a while, and I got bored so I picked up a book and read it.
Russet Flame POV
Celestia had left. So I tried to fire up the pod and fly it again.
Unfortunately for me, it didn't work. I kicked the thing and smoke started to rise from the pod.
“Dammit.”
