The Hero of Earth, Titanium Knight, somehow finds himself in Equestria and writes a diary about it.

This book is a record of the human Tom Burgus (The Hero of Earth) who had somehow found a portal to Equestria. Using his powers, he was able to shapeshift into an Alicorn to try to 'blend in'. This book is a record of his time spent there and the events that happened. Some entries are not day-to-day, or are illegible.

Entry 1

Entry 1
I have found a portal to a new world, where ponies and mythical creatures rule the planet. For those of you who don't know; portals only spontaniously appear in front of me when another planet needs help, or is going to need help.

I have disguised myself as an Alicorn, seeing as they were the strongest of mythical beings I can think of that would roam the planet, and have located a castle city.

The guards of said castle seemed surprised to see a light brown Alicorn walking to the front doors... Maybe Alicorns are as much of a myth here as they are on Earth...

After convincing the guards to let me into the castle, they led me to a large room with four thrones placed on the opposite wall from the doors. I was told to approach the four beings that sat upon those thrones. The beings turned out to be the rulers of this place, which I later learned was Equestria, and these four beings were alicorns, just like me.

Two of the Alicorns that sat in the middle were the king and queen of Equestria, while the other two (fillies) napping beside them were the princess'.

The king and queen were surprised and a little shocked to see another alicorn that was not royalty (on Equestria), and they asked me for my name. Something of which I hadn't thought about since I got here. I said the first two words that came to mind:
"Solar Flare"

They gave me skeptical looks.

"Tell me, 'Solar'. Why is it that an Alicorn such as yourself has decided to wander to our court?" The king had asked.

I had to think of a story. I couldn't tell them what I was doing in Equestria. A story appeared in my head instantly.

"Oh, did one of my spells misfire again?" I had said, causing sparks and morphing my wings away. turning me into a Unicorn, "I am but a humble Unicorn, here to help the royal family in any way. I am but a weary traveler who is very good with housework and (I had to think of the right words) foalsitting. Plus, I am good at, uh... fighting?"

The king and queen looked at me quizzically for a few minutes. The king broke the silence. "If you're good at fighting, then prove it. GUARDS!"

Two of the biggest pegasus ponies I had seen appeared in front of me, their armored wings threatening to cut me. They made the first strike; one went for my head, the other for my knees (in hindsight, that was not a good idea...)
I jumped high, and aimed a weak stun spell on them. It seemed to hold well, but it was obvious that these guards were trained to withstand basic spells, so I shot my most powerful stun spell at them (it put them in a paralyzed coma for a few days).

The king and queen were shocked at how powerful that stun spell was, and the noise of it had woken up the little night-blue Alicorn that was napping beside them. She stared at me with wide blue eyes, not from fear but from awe having seen the two guards standing frozen.

I will end this entry here, I have run out of room on these pages I have found here in Equestria and must go fetch some more.

Entry 2

Entry 2
I am sorry for stopping the last entry so abruptly. Like I said, I ran out of pages to write my journal on and went out shopping for about one thousand fresh peices of parchment. Let me continue from where I left off.

The little blue Alicorn had woken up from her nap, and was staring in awe at the two paralyzed Pegasus guards standing in front of her.

"How did you manage to successfully stun them?" Asked a bewildered queen, "Those guards were trained to withstand stun spells."

"Yes, I could feel their resistance with my weaker spell," I replied, bowing to show respect, "But I have been practicing many forms of magic for years now, and have perfected stun spells quite nicely. I have even, uh... Created some spells."

The little night-blue filly was now curious as to who I was, and wispered something into her fathers ear. Who wispered something back and turned back to me.

"You have proven your strength in spell casting, but how about hoof to hoof combat?" Said the king, summoning two more guards. The other princess, a white Alicorn with pink hair, had woken up from her nap as well, and was curious to see my skill set.

"To be honest, your majesty," I said, faking shyness, "But I do not wish to harm anypony. This test would only prove how weak your guards are, not how strong I am."

The king seemed a little insulted by this remark. "You have a smart mouth, I see. Let's see how well it fairs against my two mightiest guards." He said, nodding his head towards the guards, who promptly started attacking.

These ones were not any smarter than the last two, because they tried the same technique. One of them charged my legs, while the other went for my head. 'This is too easy.' I thought, taking a step left to miss the guards.

I stuck out my hoof, tripping one of the guards, and lunged at the other. He jumped over me, to which I kicked above me, hitting him in the head and knocking him out instantly. This left the other guard who I tripped.

"Come at me, bro!" I taunted, luring him into a trap. He jumped towards me, and I slid under him, jabbing at his nerve clusters as we passed eachother. This had the same effect as stunning the other guards, and he was instantly paralyzed.

The royal family sat there, mouths gaping.

"T-that was unbeleivable..." The queen stuttered, "It happened so fast, I don't know what to make of it..."

She was right, the whole scene had taken about three seconds. I was amazed myself, thinking that I wouldn't have been that fast with this new body. The two princess' were very exited to have seen such a battle, no matter how long it was.

"Mom?" Asked the blue Alicorn, "Can we keep him?"

I wasn't sure if I should have felt honoured or insulted at that, so I let it slide. I took a few steps forward until I was a few feet from the thrones.

"Your majesty," I addressed the king, bowing, "I have passed your... tests, and I am sure that I have proven worthy to be a guard, but all I want is a job as a teacher, or a sitter if you'd like."

"You have proven your self a warrior, but not as a teacher," replied the king, "If you wish to prove to be a teacher, cast a spell that none of us couldn't possibly know."

I had to think. I adapted to their lifestyle so fast, and their spells seemed moderate, which limited my choices. But there is one spell that I knew that could only be cast by a creator of the omniverse; a spell of creation.

"Have you any that we do not know of, Sir Solar?" Asked the queen, now as curious as her children.

"I have one, and it is one of controlled chaos." I replied, focusing my red magic on one spot in the middle of the room. 'This would be alot easier if I had hands' I thought, 'But I can't let them know I'm human... Not yet.'

A dark orb started to form where I focused my magic. But... It wasn't dark... Nor was it bright... It seemed to absorb the light that surrounded it, and a slight gravitational pull came from it, but not enough to do anything.

"This is what's known as an uncharged Black Hole," I explained, "All it can do now is absorb the light immediately surrounding it. But if I give it charge, it could destroy all of Equestria just as easily as I took out your guards."

The royal family was once again amazed at my skill. I knew that this spell would prove my worth, since I am one of the creators of the onmiverse.

"It would seem as though you have proven me wrong once again, Solar," said the king, with a sigh of defeat, "You have proven yourself worthy of being a teacher, and your combat skills and politeness have proven yourself to be an exellent foalsitter, but I am afraid that the final descision belong to my daughters; Celestia and Luna."

The two Alicorn fillies trotted towards me, as I remained motionless. They studied me for what seemed like hours. The white one, whom I presume is Celestia, seemed a little unconvinced that I would be suitable, while the younger one, who I think is Luna, seemed overjoyed that I had passed the tests. After a few minutes of studying, the princess' stepped to the side to decide if I should protect them or teach them, or both. With my highly trained ears, I could almost hear everything they said.

"I don't know, Luna, he just doesn't seem like the teaching type to me..." Said Celestia, "And there's something about him I don't trust..."

"Aww, c'mon, 'Tia. I checked his aura, and it's the whitest aura I've ever seen! Just see for yourself."

I could see that the one called Celestia was focusing on my aura, and was not very surprised to see that Luna was right; it was whiter than any star in the heavens.

"Oh, all right. We'll accept him for now. But if something does turn out to be wrong with this guy, I'm having him thrown out."

They walked over to their parents and wispered their desision. The king stood up, bekoning me to step closer.

"My daughters have made their desision. You are now their teacher, and have the dutie of watching over them whenever my wife and I are not here," exclaimed the king, "You may pick any unoccupied bedroom in this castle as your living quarters for the time being."

"If I may, sire. What is it I shall teach Princess' Celestia and Luna?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Chuckled the king, "You are to teach them magic!"

This marks the end of this entry, and the end of the beginning of my adventures in Equestria. If you haven't already figured it out, I am writing this in my new living quarters while I have time to.

Entry 3

Entry 3
I have made a residence in the castle of Canterlot, and start my teaching tomorrow after a few days rest. In those few days, I had really gotten to know Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and believe that they had gotten to know and understand me better as well.

It turns out that these young mares have the ability to control the sun and the moon, hence the names Celestia and Luna. It also slightly explains why their flanks have pictures of the sun and the moon. Those marks are called Cutie Marks, and they appear when you discover your special talent or talents as it sometimes is.

Celestia, the white filly with a pink mane and tail, has the ability to raise and lower the sun, while Luna, a blue filly with a night-blue mane, can raise and lower the moon. But I have a feeling that this may change soon. I fear it may be when they find out who I am and what I've done.

I need to inquire more about Cutie Marks, so I figured the library would give me the information that I need. It should help me to decipher my Mark, which consists of three Sigmas: an Infinity symbol inside of a Delta symbol, inside of an Alpha symbol. I beleive that it may have to do with my cosmic creation powers... There is only one known way to find out.
You will be glad to know that those guards I stunned are now awake and can perform their duties, but they try to stay as far away from me as possible.
