It wasn’t a long flight like I was expecting, but the unexpected lift in the air, was what made me nervous. I mean, if you were in a carriage or vehicle meant for traversal across land, and not air, but it then starts going into the air, you would get nervous too.

After we came to a stop, Celestia got out of the carriage, and I followed her heading down a walkway heading to a big castle. Once inside I could see a big room with a long table. My guess it’s where the royal family ate, and where any major meetings took place.

“If you will follow me, I will show you to your room.” after Celestia finished saying that she started walking off. I had to stop myself from looking around and catch up to Celestia, while holding my cat. After a few minutes of walking we were in a darker hallway, most likely from the dark purple colored walls. I wonder why this hall is so different…but Celestia looked sad to be here.

Just as I was going to ask if she was okay, she opened a dark brown door that lead into a room with light grey walls, and a few light fixtures. So they do have electricity here, I wonder how advanced their technology is. Celestia decided to let me get comfortable and unpack what I could, but before she left I told her I had a few questions I wanted to ask her later. She told me to ask a guard to take me to the throne room when I was ready.

Two hours, it took me two hours to settle in. unpacking was about 5 minutes, and the rest was me laying on the bed petting Mimzy, thinking on becoming a pony. I decided to become a pony if possible, but I didn’t get hopeful on it. If she can, I will, but if she can’t, I will just live my life the best I can. I laid Mimzy down on the bed and decided to get a guard to take me to the throne room.

I found a guard, but shortly after I wan into a white unicorn with a blonde mane, and wearing….is that the lapel of a tux? JUST the lapel?! With a blue bow-tie. Wow, this must be an uptight noble. I noticed I lost distance from the guard who had passed the noble already. I was about to speed up, but he got in front of me and glared at me, with such intense anger.

“Where do you think you are going freak? My aunty has many appointed meetings, but I don’t believe she ever said anything about meeting a….hairless bipedal “creature”….which just by your clothes, I would say you are part of the lower class. My aunty doesn’t have time to deal with the lower class concerns today…” the noble pony just tries to wave me off looking to the side, being a bit snobbish. Maybe I should put him in HIS place, but I shouldn’t, no matter how much I WANT to.

I just shrugged and vaulted over him walking after the guard as I talked to him not looking back at him. “I’m sorry sir, but Princess Celestia told me to tell a guard to lead me to the throne room, when I was ready to speak with her. By that reasoning, I would say that puts me at a high priority to the princess herself. So if you don’t mind….I’m going to go talk with her….” As I finished I felt my body stop moving, and saw a blue glow over me.

I looked back to see the noble, baring his teeth and his horn surrounded in the same blue light. I was quickly lifted up and slammed into a wall hard making me catch my breath and cough, up until I felt a cold sensation on my neck, and felt a sharp point against it. When I looked at the unicorn, I saw him with such anger in his glare; I actually got worried that he would have me imprisoned.

“You DARE place you’re….disgusting, sausage linked, hoof on royalty?! I am PRINCE Blueblood. Nephew to the powerful, Princess Celestia! NO ONE touches me without MY permission creature!” as he said the last two words the blade pressed against my neck even more. I just watched him trying to see what he would do, but I was lucky to see the guard running back and he demanded that I was let go, a threat towards me would be equal to threatening a delegate, and deem him a traitor, leading to loss of his royal status, and definite imprisonment.

I was relieved to be let go and see Blueblood leave and the guard continued taking me towards the throne room. It didn’t take much longer to reach the throne room, where I could see Celestia talking to a few other ponies dressed in a full tux shirt, and jacket, and some mares wearing expensive looking pieces of jewelry. I just told the guard, I would wait back here by the door till she called me over. He just nodded and went back to his duties.

It took about five minutes for her to finished with the nobles. As they left, I could see them staring at me with a look of curiosity, fear, hatred, and disgust. After they left, I started walking towards Celestia who seemed to smile at me. I bowed to her as I reached the stairs that lead up to where the throne was.

I stood up straight and cleared my throat before speaking. “Celestia, I know this question may be a bit of a shock to hear but…..is it possible…..for me to be turned into a pony…? I have thought if it was possible since the carriage ride, and the past two hours, was me deciding on becoming a pony if it was possible.”

“Well….yes, but it could be truly painful. Your bones must break, reform, properly connect, and possible new cartilage around specific joints must form. And the relayering of your muscle tissue, and resizing, and replacement of your organs….I believe it will be a truly painful experience for you. Is this what you really want?” Celestia just stared at me with worry, and fear in her eyes. I just smiled and nodded at her, which made her smile a bit. “Alright, after I finish my last few meetings, we will set everything up for the spell.”

“Also, I was wondering if there was a library around for me to learn more about Equestria. Its history, its recent events, and it would help me understand the culture much more.” She nodded to me and motioned a guard over and asked them to take me to the royal library. It took, I'd say three minutes after leaving the throne room to reach the library. I thanked the guard and went inside to start on the worst school subject I ever had to deal with…..history.

I had found many different books, some that was just a pony version of human books. I found a headless horseman book, but it was a headless pony, which came out from underneath a black barked willow tree in the northern reaches of Equestria, and supposedly, it was real here. A unicorn used necromancy, on a beheaded corpse, and it went on a rampage, killing its reviver, and hunted for its head, but apparently Celestia's mother, Solaris Lightwing returned its head, and it went back under the willow tree never to be seen again.

That was the only entertaining book I read, the rest was the countries history, and I even read the history books from Draconia, the Griffon Kingdom, Zebreca, and the Iron Isles. Apparently the major sentient beings in this world are ponies, dragons, zebras, griffons, and minotaur’s. And the other sentient creatures were hippogriffs, drakes, camels, and….something called changelings, which there was little information on them. Changelings could change their looks, but not their form itself, without a side effect. So changelings could only change into ponies, griffons, zebras, and hippogriffs without any serious side effects. And they apparently lived off…love?

When I turned the page to the drawing of a changeling, let’s say I didn’t take well to it. I yelled and flew back in my chair and rolled back going into a standing position bumping into the wall panting. IT LOOKED LIKE A GIANT EQUINE BUG WITH HOLES IN ITS LEGS, A GNARLED HORN, AND INSECT WINGS WITH HOLES! HOLY SHIT, THIS WORLD HAS MY WORST NIGHTMARE AS A REALITY! GIANT, FUCKING, BUGS! I hate my phobias….bugs, spiders, any kind of creepy crawler….but GIANT ones?! I am going to be jumping, and freaking out all over the place if a changeling comes around…..wait…..’Changelings are dangerous, and not usually allowed in Equestria.’ Thank god…..or whatever deity resides in Equestria…..

I must’ve fallen asleep at some point while reading; because I started feeling a prodding at my shoulder after what I believe was another hour of reading. After I opened my eyes I saw a purple unicorn with a mane and tail of dark blue [almost black kind of dark] with a pink stripe, and a bright purple stripe going through it, and her cutie mark was a….pink 6 pointed star, with 5 smaller white stars spread around it, and it seems a white star would be underneath the big pink one, considering the white points coming out from the pink star. I guess she enjoys stargazing, and she probably studies constellations and such.

“I was asked by Princess Celestia to get you….at least I think she meant you. She said ‘in the library there is a being you have never seen before. I need you to tell him I have everything prepared for his request.’ I’m just curious but…what request is she talking about?” she tilted her head in; I’m guessing curiosity, as she asked her question.

“Oh I uhhh….I am going to have her turn me into a pony. It would make it easier on so many if I wasn’t….” I just gestured to my body. “…this. Being something that isn’t known about here might make me a target, or might get me attacked. So if I become a pony, there isn’t any trouble like that.”

“That makes sense. But, wouldn’t you rather go back to your own kind? The princess could do that if you gave her some time. I mean, she is the most powerful magic user in Equestria.”

I got up and motioned for her to come along as I started to head for the throne room. “No. my kind is highly advanced, and very adaptable. And if I did go back, then they would know of other worlds, and the residual energy from this world being on me…I would become an experiment for them to use as a conduit to create a portal, or gateway. Then this world would be in danger…I would rather stay here and become one of you, than risk this worlds peaceful nature. Sure there’s still violence and war I’m sure. But I could tell that it is far, far, FAR less than from my world….”

“wow, I never expected somepony to give up everything they know to protect those they never knew existed, or knows nothing about….till recently of course, considering you had so many history books back there. Oh, and my name is Twilight Sparkle. I never caught your name.”

“I don’t think it will matter for long. But, my name is Daniel….for now” I chuckled as I entered the throne room and saw a giant glowing runic circle in the center, and Celestia standing in a normal circle that was connected to the runic circle by a golden line. I guess this is for my transformation. I really hope I don’t die. I REALLY hope I don’t.

Author's Note

not much for this authors note.

mention any mistakes, or anything wrong that you see, and please give me some time to make my chapters longer.

oh, and in later/upcoming chapters I may used COLORED text when i have 3+ characters talking. if I have a chapter like that, I will have a thing at the top to say what color is what character ahead of time. it should be easy to tell anyway, but I will label the character to a color as I have to.

have a good day and/or night. and I hope you enjoy my story so far

if not....I might.....SNAP!!!

nah. not really
or will I?

POST PUBLISH EDIT: ah right, cant forget to label those who help me.
i would like to thank Requiem17 for helping with a way to make the blueblood moment more original from the usual "hairless ape" shaved monkey" or "hairless/deformed minotaur".
