The Human: Book one

I was awoken by the sound of rushing air, like the flapping of very large wings.

I sat up quickly from the ground. I looked up just in time to see a fucking Pterodactyl taking up half a Lion Hybrid. It turned around and flew toward a range of mountains.

What the actual fuck...

With this rude awakening, I got all my belongings, and booked it, the light of the early morning guiding my journey.

<><><>

I got out of my tent, the sound of Celestia waking me.

Celestia looked at the moon, the blue light illuminating her.

She materialized a Scroll, a quill, and completed the spell with with a ink pot.

She started to write a letter, the quill etching perfect calligraphy onto the paper. She was soon done, and she rolled it up after using a spell to dry the ink.

The letter disappeared in a flash of magic, Princess Celestia looking at the swirl of magic making its way to Canterlot, which we could see from here.

"If you were wondering, I simply sent a letter to Luna, as she is taking care of everything back in Canterlot. I

also told her that I'll be raising the Sun." Celestia explained.

"Okay then..." I replied.

"If you'll give me a moment Twilight, I must raise the sun."

"Of course." I said as I took a step back.

Celestia smiled as she walked forward, and started flapping her wings. Her horn lit up, and as she flew higher and higher, the Sun rose behind her, while at the same time, the Moon set down for a well deserved rest.

Celestia set down just in time to see a flying featherless bird take up half a Manticore a few hundred feet behind us. It gathered altitude, while blood and guts rained down, thankfully not on us. I could see all the guards got uncomfortable by this, including me. Blood wasn't a regular occurrence, especially this much.

However, when a Liver fell and came flying down to the ground, I almost threw up.

<><><>

I stopped at the bank of a swamp. The swamp was enormous, and the water as green as water can be.

I couldn't go around, the swamp was way too big. Anyways, small islands dotted the swamp, acting as stepping stones.

Fuck it. Let's do this.

I jumped to the first island, no problem. Then to the second. Then to the third. Everything was going good until I was around halfway through.

I almost slipped and fell on the mud when I heard a mighty roar.

I turned around, dreading what was there.

It was a giant three headed lizard.

I had a staring match with the monster. I examined the monster

In the short time I had. It was scaly, had sharp teeth, two short legs, and a Spiky tail. It's scales were green, but it's spikes were a dark red.

Without warning, it charged.

I had two choices. Fight or Flight.

I charged at the thing too.

<><><>

"Was that a roar?" I said to nopony in particular.

"I think it was, Twilight. I think it's right ahead." Celestia replied.

The guards in front of us cut through the last bit of vegetation,

revealing a large swamp.

What peaked our interests, however, was what was going on in the middle of the swamp.

The creature we had been following for more than a day was doing a rodeo on a Hydra. A actual three headed Hydra.

"Are you seeing this?" I asked Celestia, who replied with silence as she intently watched.

The creature was clearly winning, one of three heads was limp, blood gushing from multiple wounds on top of it's head. The creature was currently stabbing the living daylights out of the the second head, which was releasing a quiet roar in futile hope of survival. The blood loss of two heads made the third head's movement slow, and slurred.

Before the second head went limp, the creature jumped on top the third head, which could barely support it's own weight. One stab was all it took for the mighty beast to fall.

The creature rolled to break it's fall, and stood up as quickly as it could. It breathed heavily, and was obviously tired. He was covered in green blood, as was his knife.

"We come in peace." Celestia said in her godly voice.

"Then why the fuck have you all been following me?"

"We have been trying to stop your journey into this forest. It is very dangerous here, and we fear for your safety, although you handled yourself pretty well against that beast." Celestia explained, although she did leave out that we wanted to question him.

<><><>

So it turns out the horses, or Ponies, as they refer themselves, speak English. The big white one, who was the land's ruler, wanted me to follow her back to town.

Against my better judgement, I agreed. The only animals in this forest are large predators. And if every fight was going to be that draining, I'd rather go with the ponies. I kept my guard up.

<><><>

The trip back was uneventful, and we were back in a few hours, as I had set off pretty late yesterday.

The whole time, "Twilight" was asking me questions. I only answered my name, rank, and serial number, as I did not trust these ponies enough to let them delve into my life.

Twilight gave up after that.

When I entered town, I saw a few of Celestia's soldiers guarding my Aircraft. Residents whispered to their friends, already making rumors.

<><><>

A loud *THUMP* resonated through the cabin, signifying we had landed. The carriage slowed as we sped down the very short runway, 500 feet at most. Celestia had sent me to her Capital city for questioning. The city was the same city I saw from the forest I had occupied hours before. It was called "Canterlot".

The carriage finally stopped, halfway down the Asphalt. The door was opened by one of the Pegasi that flew Me here. Not even question how they flew, let alone LANDED while pulling a carriage, a Heavy horse Princess, and a human.

I was escorted by the same pony, him keeping a poker face the whole time we walked. He led me to a room, with a small table, and two chairs. I instantly noticed a mirror. I thought about a small stretch before I examined the window, but decide against it.

"Wait here, her Majesty will arrive soon." The guard said, in a monotone voice. He left, and closed the door behind him. I quickly walked to the mirror. I placed a finger on the glass.

It was a one way mirror. Somebody was watching me. Training took over as drew my gun, and made sure it's safety was on, before I used the gun butt to hit the center of the mirror. The whole mirror broke, glass shards falling to the ground.

My eyes met with a surprised Princess.

<><><>

"Why were you watching me, Princess?" I hissed at Celestia.

"I'm sorry, Titan. I was just checking with my Psychologists... who were going to analyze your behavior. I'm sorry, I should have told you before." Celestia replied, embarrassed.

I was pretty upset that they didn't check with me first, and Deity or not, I had the right to know.

"That's fucked up, what's your reason for not checking with me?"

"Well, we thought you'd say no..."

Celestia replied, the guilt in her voice nearly undetectable as she tried to keep a straight voice.

"Would you still like to be questioned?" Celestia asked.

I was a bit taken back by this. Why would a Princess give me a choice? Especially in front of her subjects!

"Uh... okay." I replied, uncertain of Celestia's intent.

<><><>

We sat in the room for an hour and a half, Celestia asking me questions such as where I came from, and how my jet worked, and a female Unicorn wrote everything down.

That's so weird... I've only seen one guy this whole time... it's all just women here. I should ask Celestia later...

In the end, Celestia had a Guard escort me to a Guest room, one of many, since there was a whole section of this giant castle devoted just to rooms. The long hallway which I could barely see the end of, was full of doors leading to rooms. At least ten guards were stationed along the hallway, five on each side.

Security sure is lax here... Dangerous.

The guard took me to the first room, and left. I opened the elegant White door, which had Celestia's "Cutie Mark" painted on it. Inside, the room was pretty nice, a king size bed, pillows and blankets of silk on the bed, and a door leading to a Bathroom with a tub a little bigger than your average one, and a Toilet which was also slightly bigger than average. I exited the Bathroom and stood in the middle of the bedroom thinking about why I was In a Pony Princess castle.

I walked over to the enormous window, which reached the ceiling.

It was Night, and a full moon shone light into my mostly dark room.

I quickly shuffled away from the window, the soldier inside me telling me not to make myself exposed to Sniper attack.

My eyes scanned the room as I slowly checked the room for any Cameras. I even checked the few vents there were. Nothing.

Probably a tiny camera... hiding in a good spot.

Even though I was quite paranoid, I laid down on the bed. It was EXTREMELY Comfortable. I was out soon after.

<><><>

"Mr. Titan? Mr. Titan, it is time to wake up."

I quickly shot up, hearing the voice.

"Mr. Titan?"

I opened the door, and what I assume was a servant, stood there. It was actually a dude, probably.

"Her Majesty requests your presence in the dining hall, for Breakfast."

"Uh, sure, lead the way." I said, since I did have my Military fatigues on. My gun was still on me, so I felt safe enough.

With a nod, the Servant led me through the twisting halls that occupied the Castle.

<><><>

The Dining hall's table was huge. Celestia sat at the end, with a Dark blue pony, that was only slightly smaller than Celestia herself.

"Titan, please come sit." Celestia said, a hint of plead in her voice.

I complied, and sat two seats away from her.

"Titan, this is my sister, Princess Luna." Celestia said in a warm voice.

"Nice to meet you, Princess Luna."

"It's nice to meet you as well, Titan." Luna replied with a smile.

Our conversation was cut short by a Unicorn waiter, who held three plates of food in her magical aura.

She set the plates down in front of each of us, with me receiving a smaller portion of food. I immediately could see I couldn't eat this. It was hay. Fucking hay, with a side of grass.

"I can't eat this." I said, staring at the "food".

The waiter looked like she was about to have a heart attack, and picked up the plate with her magic.

"I'm so terribly sorry for the inconsideration. Please forgive us. What would you like to eat?"

The princesses watched the scene unfold in silence, with Luna already taking a bite of Hay with a fork that was held with her magic.

These were ponies, so asking for a Juicy steak was out of the question. I decided on a fruit salad.

"A fruit Salad will be fine, thank you."

The waiter left with a nod, eager to disappear.

"So... what do we about my plane?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, we could have it transported here, to one of our empty warehouses." Celestia said as she took a bite of her hay.

"That sounds okay... How will you get it here?" I asked, thinking.

"I could simply teleport it here." Celestia suggested.

"Yes, I think Celestia is right. From what she has told me, this Aircraft is very large, and would not fit in a train." Luna said, backing up Celestia on her suggestion.

"I think teleportation is the way to go. I'm okay with doing that." I said, nodding a bit.

"Very well. We'll do it today." Celestia said.

I saw the waitress come over to the table, this time with a fruit salad.

She laid it in front of me, and left with a nod. I dug into the juicy fruits.
