Author's Note

Welp here it is! I'll try and get another out by at least next Tuesday(August 2nd). Work has been hard on me but don't worry, I will keep going! It's fun and at least some of you want me to

Also, side note. I decided to Bold the words that are related to actions in the story so they are better distinguished. If people or a mod says that it bothers them or might bother others then I will change it to a color.

Test of Truths

I look down at my hands while I twiddle my thumbs, then up at the group in the back where the Mane 6 are just laughing, smiling and talking about what they are going to do when they get back home.

I hope Celestia believed what I said to her, I mean she hasn’t replied in a bit. She’s just looking at me weird. I mean it was a horrible lie. Visions of another world? What was I thinking

I look up at Celestia again with her stern face and then I noticed her horn is glowing.

Well, that’s ominous… Wait, do lie detecting spells exist in this world? If that’s the case then…

“You lied to me Devan Whitney” she says firmly and I watch as her face gets a bit fiercer. “Lie to me one more time, and you’re going to a cell in my castle left to think about whether or not you should have told me the truth and believe me… You want to tell me the truth. I haven’t shown my beloved ponies what happens when I have to protect them. You appeared when the beam of harmony was sent at my sister. I thought I sensed another living thing in this room but the magical power in it was so low I thought it was a rat”

“Hey wait! I’m not rat, I’m just—“, I try to get out.

“No. You do not get to speak to me until you tell me the truth, you have one chance left. Make it count or spend most of your life in my jail.”

She interrupts with and then her horn glows a bit brighter while she pushes her face in front of mine looking into my eyes with so much power it frightens me…

I look into her eyes while shaking slightly and sigh gently.

“I will never hurt your subjects or you. I have no want to at all, I promise you that Celestia. ” I let out weakly while smiling meekly up at her.

She looks at me surprised for a second and then puts on a sorrowful face.

“I see that you truly don’t want to hurt anyone… You seem so sad and lost... I’m sorry I acted in such a way previously. I just got my sister back and the elements of harmony were just reborn… How could I not be suspicious and scared of losing those I care for again, especially my sister.” She says through a nervous and embarrassed smile.

I look up at her horn and notice the yellow glow disappear.

“Your magic has a nice peaceful color. I like the nice and cool shade of yellow it gives off” I say trying to change the subject.

She immediately freezes up and looks at me surprised even more so than before and begins to analyze me.

“You can see the color of my magic? How? There hasn’t been a creature for a long time that I know of, that has been able to see such things.”

I look at her confused and remember that if they could’ve seen the color of magic in the show they probably would’ve noticed a lot of different things, mostly changelings.

She continues by saying “I think you should come back to Canterlot with me. I have a castle there and I’d like to learn a few things about you. Depending on what I learn, you may travel where you wish with accomadations and some of our currency to start off with. You will have to find a job soon after, though with the fact you’ve come from another world I expect finding a job will be easy if you look for the right ponies. For now, I have to go to Ponyville and assure my subject that I am alive and well and announce the return of not only my sister but also the elements of harmony. I’ll keep you a secret until I am sure you are safe to be revealed.” I smile up at her and bow as gracefully as I can

“Thank you Celestia, I will try my best to be a productive member of society here in this world. I honestly have no want to go back to mine but I suppose that’s a story for when we are in your castle. I’ll tell you all I can about why and how I know about you all, but It might be a bit hard for a lot of ponies to take in. I hope you don’t mind if I just tell you?” I inquire hastily, hoping she might not make me tell a lot of ponies.

If word gets out that they are all from a show in my world, there might be panic and heck even depression. I might be dreaming or maybe I am really dead but still, innocents don’t deserve to be given unjust panic and depression… I know that more so than others might.

“It’s settled then!” She exclaims with a warm smile. “Girls? I’m going to take Devan Whitney to my castle. He will be staying there for the time being until I can give him citizenship in our world. I also have to run a couple of tests and ask some questions to make sure he is alright. But first, let’s get you girls home! I’ll be back at Ponyville shortly, so make sure you tell everypony that I’m alright and will arrive in an hour or so.”

The Mane 6 all nod and bow their heads while a certain lavender pony seeming a bit sad she can’t do anything.

Don’t worry Twilight, I’m sure you’ll get your crack at me after Celestia is done. Hopefully I’m not too bad for this world, I’d hate to end up in a cell or banished.

A glow emanates from Celestia’s horn as she teleports them all back to presumably Ponyville. She talks to her sister and I watch as her sister looks at me surprisingly and curiously for a bit. Celestia then calls the chariot from outside to ride in. We all get in it and I marvel at the size of the stallions and the princess near me. Celestia is much taller than I am, while the stallions are definitely ripped. It kind of scares me since I’m not that short at all, nor that slim. I then remember something from the most recent season that regards Luna and turn to her while whispering in her ear.

“You don’t deserve any more punishment you already have been given. Forgive yourself, or you may find that your guilt may eat you whole. Try your best to make this world great and protect those that have already forgiven you. And please, no Tantabus” I say quietly so Celestia wouldn’t hear.

She looks at me surprised and then nods after a couple seconds. I see a couple more tears fall from her face as she leans on her sister.

Looks like I got through a couple hours in this strange, familiar world. Now I just hope that I can do some good here in the future.
