She looked powerful, quite magnificent standing there. "So you are the ruler of this place?" I inquired, "I must apologize for my poor behavior towards your guards, I simply have no idea where I currently am and acted on my survival instincts." I chose my words carefully for fear of what this Celestia pony may be capable of if angered. "Surely you can understand the logic of my actions though." I put my dagger away as I take a knee to the princess. It would be wise of me to remain on the good side of the ruling powers here whilst I discern a means of returning to Viriana, perhaps I should press the princess for information at a later date as I fear making any request now may work against me.
"Though I have already retrieved my belongings I feel it only right that I request your permission to hold onto them at this time, I assure you I will be no more trouble and my weapon shall not be drawn except in dire circumstances such as my life or the life of an innocent be threatened." I say whilst bowing my head to the princess as well, "Would this be an acceptable proposal for thine majesty?" I confidently ask hoping that I have made it clear that I am no threat to her kingdom. The princess simple smiled and walked to where I was still at a kneel and bow.

"Please be on your feet Sir Mikail, everypony in my kingdom is equal, even if they happen to not be a pony." She said this to me with such kindness and sincerity, she was like no monarch I had ever met before. "If you'd like to keep your belongings I shall grant your request just so long as you are true to your word and none of my ponies are harmed by you." She continued, "I shall tell the head of my guards Shining Armor to stand down and have the rest of his guards do the same." She assured me. I stood up and realized now that the princess was near to me that she stood as tall as I and her horn was as long as my dagger. Judging by what I've gathered about the horned ponies around here they can use a type of magic, this would mean that the princess here could probably have killed me with a single spell had she desired to. As I am lost in thought about this while walking back towards the front of the town hall, Celestia steps in front of me and stops me before we open the door, the guards who where in the building earlier must have long since gone outside. "You shall have a place to stay at the Canterlot palace, but before I allow you to freely roam the country you will be made to learn our laws and customs. Am I clear on this Sir Mikail?" She says firmly but still with her usual kind tone.

"I shall agree to your terms, your majesty. I may as well learn of the land I will be residing in for the time being." I affirm with a shallow bow to the princess as the doors suddenly burst open and purple unicorn with a star on her flank comes through.

"Princess I came as soon as i heard there was a-" she suddenly cuts off her sentence upon seeing me and immediately puts herself between the princess and myself. "That creature princess! Has he tried to harm you? Are you alright!?" she says frantically to the princess behind her, while never breaking eye contact with me.

"This creatures name is Mikail and he has made no attempt to harm me, my faithful student." She says while keeping her voice calm, this seems to make the unicorn relax. "He was simply acting out of instinct to survive as he was in fear due to not knowing at all where he is and has no intent to harm anypony." She affirms to her student.

"I'm relieved to hear that princess." As the young unicorn turns back to me she looks up and meets my gaze again, "My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am the librarian of Ponyville and student to Princess Celestia." She exclaims proudly, "If you are not here to harm anypony than I'd like to ask you some questions so that I may learn more about you." She says rather excitedly and begins to circle me, looking my up and down carefully, as if trying to read a book.

"It is my pleasure to meet you Miss Sparkle, your princess has been rather understanding of my situation and I'd be happy to answer near any questions about myself that you may have after I have had some rest, as my day has been quite hectic so far as you can see." Celestia nods to me and the three of us walk through the door where it seems that every pony in town has gathered, being held back by the guards as the all try to get a look at the creature who caused such a ruckus in their quiet little town. We are escorted through the crowd of whispering ponies where we eventually come to a golden carriage that is lead by who winged guards in golden armor. We file into the carriage and Twilight begins to rain questions down on me, about everything from my armor to where I am from, I almost don't notice the carriage take off into the air and begin flying towards a glimmering palace in the mountain side.
