"WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM?" The princess's ask all at once surprising the girls as they look towards the shocked and worried faces of the Princess's. Something must have happened and Twilight would get to the bottom of it.

"Mathias, It's his name. Discord got that from some weird tags after we took him to here to Ponyville General. He had passed out shortly after we found out the meaning behind our friendship trials. We had decided to try and heal him ourselves with a few spells. They were working for a time but because of how the hospital was full and damaged that was why we couldn't take him right away. We all raced here as fast as we could when Discord told us what was gonna happen to him if we didn't hurry. " Rarity says wiping the tears away from her eyes.

"Son his name is Mathias? Did you get anything else out of him?" Celestia asks spike. Knowing the dragon is basically her son in all but blood knows he'll never lie to her about anything.

"Yeah, we got his full name after Discord started groping his naked chest." Spike says getting discord to growl a bit.

"What it's the truth, Besides we had to find out his name, height, weight and blood type before they could give him surgery so it was good you started feeling the guy up."Spike says defending himself getting the girls to look at him and sigh with relief before nodding to him as Celestia just smiles While discord tries to explain himself to two smirking princess's.

"I'm very proud of you Discord. You did the right thing. Besides i don't think anyone here cares if you grope anything. You're Chaos incarnate so it's in your nature to be random." Celestia says smiling some as she chuckles walking over to Twilight.

"So Twilight why do you want him to go home so quick? We could let him stay here with us for awhile. Think of the possibilities you know." Celestia says hoping her student will take the bait.

"True, with him here we can learn everything i couldn't when faced with getting home before the portal closed." Twilight says thinking on it for awhile.

"Well think of it like this. It takes the portal 30 moons before it can open again. So that means about roughly a month give or take a few hours. He can easily go back anytime he wants." Cadence says backing up Celestia.

"That's true also. I guess if the human agrees to stay I can have him stay with me at the castle. BUT only if he accepts our offer. Oh this would be nice now we just have to wait for him to get out of surgery." Twilight says looking towards the doors red heart went in only to see Nurse Redheart once again come out.

"Princess Twilight i'm sorry but there's nothing we can do. We have no idea what so ever about what this thing is nor do we know about it's anatomy. Healing spells aren't really working on him." Redheart says a bit worried looking at her.

"Oh don't worry about the human Nurse. If it is who i think it is he will be completely fine. Now take us to him" Princess Celestia says shocking the nurse who bows humbly to the princess before nodding.

"Of course princess Right this way." Redheart says before leading them all towards one of the ICU's near the back. Princess celestia, Cadence and Luna all gasp at seeing him. They all immediately begin to tear up as they smile happily. Celestia walks over and sits down next to the bed looking at the heart monitor beep steadily. She gives a chuckle at the state he's in before looking at him.

"You always were too tough for your own good weren't you devil dog?" Celestia says smiling some.

"Yes he was Celestia. Remember when he saved you from those things that were overrunning the base?" Cadence says with a smile.

"Boy do i. Poor things never stood a chance against him." Celestia chuckles as she sighs at the memories.

"Princess you know this Human?" Twilight asks a bit confused.

"Yes twilight. Me Cadence and Luna all know of him. He's a very dear friend to all three of us. More so to me and Cadence but that's not important. He will gladly stay here if offered. Now me and the others must prepare."Celestia says sighing as she stands up turning to face her. Celestia really not wanting to go due to hating that she and the others must get ready to deal with the problems the rich ponies of canterlot are going to bring to her.

"I know sister, Tis really annoying when these "Upper class" Ponies feel that Thyne must Marry one of them or their kin." Princess Luna speaks.

"Not to mention when they claim that all the poor ponies need to be separated from them. Jerks." Cadence says scowling at the memory of seeing a pony couple so uptight and scoffing at the pain of a couple of ponies who were stranded in Canterlot due to accidentally losing all their money when the carriage they used rolled down the hill and off the canterlot cliff face into the rivers below.

"True, Only fancy pants and Fleur de lys have any dignity and sanity. At Least they only offer help and idea's to better the community." Celestia says before feeling something gently plant it's hand on her flank.

Turning around she sees Mathias's hand on her flank bringing her to blush. She smiles some thinking he's awake only to see that he's rather out of it due to the morphine.

"It's been a long time since I've smelt beautiful. . .It's a welcomed change." Mathias states looking at Celestia with a smile hoping she remembers him after all this time has passed.

"I'm just like candy, I can be sweet if you're a good boy i'll be your treat." Celestia says shaking her flank a bit making Mathias laugh a bit at her antics.

"Well it might be nice, but whatever you do, don't have to much as i'm no good for you." Celestia says before Mathias nods softly and lets his hand fall back onto the bed.

"Well just one little taste and i'll be on my knees. And in my condition that's no joke." Mathias says sitting up in his bed.

"Mathias . . . .it's so good to see you. But how did you get here before me and the others. Twilight explained that you got here LONG before we even got banished." Celestia asks a bit confused.

"That's a story for another day. In the meantime i need some help and i need it now. Draconequus front and center." Mathias says as Discord just appears in front of him a bit confused.

"I need you to. . . .tell me how long i have till the cursed ones come." Mathias says looking at him directly in the eyes.

"Oh they should be here in about 3 months tops. Plenty of time for you to heal up." Discord says looking to celestia who gives a knowing nod.

"Good. . .They'll be great cannon fodder for healing me. Till then looks like i'm stuck here in a bed. Celestia do you have any books on your language? I need to learn if i'm gonna be here till these things are dead." Mathias says making Celestia just chuckle.

"Oh i have something better I'll just give you the knowledge and know how right now. It's a simple knowledge transfer spell. In order for the spell to work i'll need to gain something as payment." Celestia says thinking a bit.

"Okay. . . I don't have money but i do have my services. I'll become your guard." Mathias says still not really thinking straight.

"Not like that my little soldier. You remember how this goes. Knowledge in exchange for knowledge. That is what the spell requires. I'll get the info from you i require with that i can explain to Cadence and Luna." Celestia says making Mathias smile widely.

"Candy and Lulu are here?" Mathias looks at her asking before he sees them both smiling while giving him waves. Princess Luna’s wave is rather simple. One showing common worry, Care and respect. Cadance however has her hoof waving rather fast and excitedly as if truly happy to see him.

"Hi girls. . . . this morphine i'm guessing is really high grade. Fucking amazing you know. I'm guessing that it's because it's magically enhanced to make sure it's effective?" Mathias says making the three princesses giggle much to the confusion of the mane six and spike as Celestia nods in the affirmative.

"It is Mathias. It's enchanted so that the morphine increases its potency to where it can actually affect what it's entering. So i'm guessing for you it's milligram concentration would be in the millions." Celestia giggles as she answers in a teasing tone making Mathias nod his head happily before he licks his lips.

"Still as Delicious as ever. Mind if i get a quick lick?" Mathias says as he gives Celestia a sensual and loving look bringing the princess to blush rather deeply which is easily noticed on her face.

"What did he say Princess?" Twilight asks getting ready to write it down.

"Nothing twilight. He's just being honest and . . .a bit out of it due to the drugs." Celestia says before her horn glows a golden yellow. Mathias's head is soon shown to have that aura as his eyes glaze over with a soft white light. Casting the spell Celestia's eyes also glow before her face contorts from one of concentration to one of shock and fear before shuddering as The spell ends when the correct knowledge is transferred.

"There Mathias. . . . You now should be able to speak our language and understand us just fine. But when you get out . . . You have a lot of explaining to do mister." Celestia says sternly making Mathias nod some holding his aching head.

"Gotcha Princess. . . .I guess i need to update my tattoo don't I? Since I no longer fly my original flag" Mathias says smirking at her making Celestia blush deeply at the meaning behind his words remembering her promise. She looks at him and smiles knowing he'll go through with it.

"I'm happy to hear you say that. I'll send the needed supplies when you're in better shape. Until then just relax. Also Remember spike?" Celestia says looking at Mathias getting him to nod.

"Yeah your surrogate son. The dragon you raised as your own. I remember well everything you told me Celestia. After all, What kind of soldier would i be to ignore the words of my lovely and humble princess." Mathias says smiling some getting her to move out of the way revealing Spike to him. Mathias looks at him and sizes him up. Looking at him now he feels nothing of interest as Spike seems to be . . . .Rather plain.

"He reminds me of me when i was in school before puberty." Mathias says looking towards Celestia getting her to giggle.

"Of course but that's cause he hasn't had any training yet. With you around i'm sure he'll come into his own." Celestia says before yawning some and looking at Mathias.

"Till next we meet Mathias. Just remember. I'm just like candy." Celestia says shaking her flank in front of Mathias. Her mare hood in plain view showing a bit of wetness getting his face to darken with a massive blush as he averts his eyes. Celestia bids farewell to Twilight and the others leaving them in a state of complete confusion before they teleport out and get back to canterlot.

"Well that was strange." Rainbow dash says a bit sternly.

"Yeah it was. . . I reckon the princess's are all very friendly with that critter. They seemed to be close enough to tease one another." Applejack says with a smile.

"Well that's because we are close enough to tease each other. I saved there lives so they should feel close to me." Mathias says shocking Applejack.

"You just spoke to us. .. I thought you didn't know our Language?" Fluttershy says a bit confused.

"True but Celestia cast a knowledge transference spell on me and she flooded my brain with the language you use in exchange for finding out how i got here. Knowledge for Knowledge that's how it works you know." Mathias states shrugging his shoulders.

"True but you just woke up. That ordeal must have left you tired we'll come back tomorrow to ask questions. Is that okay with you mister?" Twilight asks in a professional tone.

"If you're the Twilight Sparkle Celestia spoke of back in the warehouse i'm happy to oblige you in whatever questions or experiments you need of me." Mathias says making her nod some with a smile as she pokes spike.

"Good we'll all be here tomorrow until then Rest up you need it." Twilight says smiling getting Mathias to merely nod at her before laying down in his bed. Rarity walks up to him as the others leave making Mathias look to her.

"I never got a chance to properly thank you for saving my life back in the forest." Rarity says looking at Mathias

"Meh it's what i do. Besides it's not like i could just let something as beautiful as you get killed." Mathias says with a slight chuckle. Blushing softly Rarity just looks down and nods some before speaking.

"Well still i thank you Mathias. It was very brave." Rarity says before leaning in and kissing Mathias's Cheek. The action bringing Mathias to widen his eyes at the feel of Rarity's soft lips on his cheek. He looks to her and just stares blankly.

"Have a good rest darling. I look forward to getting to know someone who can be so casual with the princess." Rarity says before leaving the hospital room. Mathias merely puts his hand on his cheek before sighing softly. He looks out the window and looks towards the sky with a soft smile.

"I guess this is what you meant . . .eh lord?" Mathias says to himself before chuckling and deciding it's time to go to sleep he lays down once more and goes to sleep rather crudely as he merely lets himself go limp.

Getting woken up in the morning by Nurse Redheart Mathias merely examines her carefully as she changes some things around the room before looking at him.

"I don't know if you can understand me but do you have anything. . .anything at all that could lead to us helping you recover?" Redheart asks a bit confused as to what is currently in the bed.

"I can understand you fine and yes i have plenty of things to help me recover on the way. For now i'm content to just relax in this bed and let you all scratch your heads wondering what the fuck i am." Mathias says looking at Red Heart getting her to raise her eyebrow.

"Fuck?. . . I don't sleep with patients" Redheart says a bit confidently with a sly smirk.

"No i didn't ask to fuck I . . . Oh! You sassy bitch. I think i'm going to like you. Listen princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends may be by later today. Just give them the key to my room and have everyone give us a little space when she or they are here please. Till than it’s fine to let others in to see me so long as you know they wont cause trouble." Mathias says looking to Redheart who just nods softly to Mathias before leaving.

Soon enough Mathias is asleep once more the pain he feels no longer affecting him due to the drugs. After a bit Mathias wakes up to something Strange. He feels a weight pressed into his chest and a firm grasp around his waist. Groggily he wakes up only to see eyes staring back at him. Staying calm as he can he just looks at the eyes of whoever is doing this and he speaks.

"Uh . . . Hi? I owe you money or something?" Mathias says a bit confused before the mint Green pony leans back and lets him go with a happy squee escaping her lip as she just shakes her head.

"No you don't owe me anything. I was just curious about a few things if you wouldn't mind answering." The mint green Mare says making Mathias just groggily nods not really caring.

"Sure i got nothing better to do. What's on your mind mint?" Mathias says getting her to chuckle.

"MY names Lyra. Lyra heartstrings, And i'm a bit confused because in all the ancient texts and ruins I've found it seems Humans were all extinct yet here you are. Mind telling me how?" Lyra says with a smile. Mathias just looks at her and thinks on this before looking to his left seeing a second mare in the room. This one a light cream color furred mare with dark purplish mane and a pink highlight. He sees her just shrug her shoulders at him and Mathias just looks at Lyra once again.

"I'm sure that whatever humans were here before were extinct yes but I'm a . . .special case. If you need info on my species like our Anatomy, mating styles, history and what not i'm probably not the best to tell you about that since i'm not really . . .from here and my human history may be VASTLY different from the one you're trying to piece together from ruins and legends. Well History and mating styles that is but Human Genealogy and Anatomy is relatively the same no matter the dimension or realm you travel to." Mathias says shrugging his shoulders getting Lyra to Blush at the implications before she chuckles a bit and looks down at the floor.

"Well i certainly wouldn't say no to learning about your Anatomy if you're offering a show and tell." Lyra says making the other mare blush deeply before butting in.

"Hey hey hey Keep it Pg-13 Lyra. We were let in despite not being on his guest list for today. Don't push his kindness." The mare says not wanting to upset the creature that literally handed Tirek his own butt without a sweat despite his injuries.

"Oh calm down Bon Bon. If anything we heard from spike was true this male Human seems to be pretty laid back and welcoming." Lyra says making Mathias chuckle at them before looking to Bon Bon.

"Bon Bon was it? Listen it's all well and good she's willing to learn about my kind. I don't mind showing her everything she wants to see. If i'm going to be living here i can't really be keeping myself as a loner. You'll be seeing me around town, In stores and shops even maybe getting a job here. If i'm going to . . .be a normal sight people may as well learn about how my body works and what it can do. Hell it would make the doctors here breath a bit easier rather than panicking when i come in the hospital." Mathias says making Bon Bon relax a bit more at that. Seeing what he was capable of doing She feared upsetting him would result in less than happy circumstances.

"See Bon Bon it's okay he seems like a nice guy. Now I wouldn't mind learning all i could about your Anatomy and Genealogy. It would help out a lot with my studies and findings. Now what can you tell me about your Anatomy?" Lyra says happily using her magic to float a notepad and pencil ready to take notes.

"Well my personal Anatomy is not normal compared to other humans. . . .and i mean that sincerely considering who and what my mother is. Besides that i had a little . . . incident in my past that fucked my genetics up to the point of being nearly unstable. But i can give you all manner of books, notes, medical journals and the sort to help you along. If you want MY PERSONAL Anatomy. . . .well we'll have to be alone and in private before i'd go showing anything X-rated to you." Mathias says seductively giving her a soft wink making Lyra blush deeply as the image floods her head of him about to strip off his hospital gown. She just coughs nervously and looks at him with a soft smile.

"T-Thank you that would be nice to get when can you have them ready for me to study from? And as for your Private anatomy . .. Well i'd have to see about that at a later time when i know you." Lyra says nervously looking down with a soft blush on her cheeks.

"Why wait? I mean it's not like we're going to fuck is it? It's just i'd rather be in a private setting before giving out personal details about my life to someone I don't really know. It makes me feel a little better when i'm alone because then Not really anyone can judge me on my looks or anything other than the one other person in the room you know." Mathias states matter of factly making Lyra smile at him a bit before giggling some.

"Alright i get what you're saying and Sure i'll set something up okay? Now when can you have those books ready?" Lyra says putting the notepad away and looking away from Mathias. When she looks back his attention is out the window looking out on the town and laying on his waist and gut are a stack of books. Lyra looks at the books then to him a bit confused. She just looks at the books then to him once more before doing it a few more times and asking.

"How did you do that?" Lyra ask a bit confused about how he was able to just have the books appear out of nowhere.

"I have my ways. . . .But honestly it's part of why i'm different from other humans. Those are all the notes, books and medical journals about our Gene's, Genealogy, Anatomy and so on even diseases we can get and those we have cured." Mathias says shrugging his shoulders making Lyra smile some more before hugging him again.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. This will do so much for my research and Finally those stuck up high society Ponies at the university will have to admit they were wrong. Thank you I'll hopefully be back soon after reading these." Lyra says gathering all the books with her magic before putting them in a book bag.

"Ha fuck that noise. I'll do you one better. When you're done with what you do with those books come get my ass from where ever i am be it here at the hospital or at Twilight sparkle's castle when i'm released. I'll go with you to that event and taunt those stuck up butter nuts in the flesh showing them irrefutable proof of my existence and your findings." Mathias says giving the mare a gentle thumbs up. Lyra gives a gentle smile before she and Bon Bon both leave the hospital room after Lyra agrees.

"Freaky as hell just waking up to that but it sure felt kind of nice being held like that." Mathias says to himself with a soft smile and sigh before laying down once again in his hospital bed. Not much else to do other then watch the Ponies below him walk around and greet one another. After a few moments Mathias presses a button on his chair that the nurse said would call her. After Redheart arrives he smiles at her happily before speaking.

“Would it be possible to get me an Acoustic Guitar? I kind of want to spend my down time doing something i like and playing a song or two would help calm my nerves.” Mathias says with a rather charming smile. The look hes currently sporting on his face coupled with the smile at Redheart gets the mare to blush rather deep as she just nods her head dumbly. She leaves the room and Mathias just returns his gaze to the outside. He slightly opens the window and is instantly hit with a very chilled breeze that cuts into his flesh cooling his rather warm body down.

After about 10 minutes Nurse Redheart comes in with the requested guitar and a smile on her face. Mathias looks at Redheart happily and leans in towards her grabbing the guitar happily as his other hand lightly pats her head and scratches behind her ears getting a rather odd look from Redheart as her expression from surprise to pleasure as she begins leaning into his hand and the fingers which are scratching her head and just behind her ears in the perfect spot.

When Mathias Stops Redheart opens her eyes only to see Mathias strumming and tuning the guitar before he begins to just play what ever really comes to his mind softly humming a tune now and then as Redheart goes back to whatever it was she was doing before filling the request for him.

After hours of playing the guitar and getting a feel for it once more Mathias takes a little rest. Unknown that Twilight and the others are heading right his way.

“Twilight are you sure this is okay? I mean he just woke up yesterday i don’t think he’ll be up for anything Darling.” Rarity says a bit worried about the so called Human that they now have in equestria.

“Oh hush Sugar cube i’m sure he’ll be fine. Not like our questions will hurt him. He’s a tough one if anything we saw was to go by.” Applejack says.

“Yeah besides did you see his moves out there? That whole punch he gave Tirek really messed him up it was so Awesome” Rainbow Dash says. Before Rarity can speak all 6 ponies and Spike hear the strumming a guitar and a rather baritone voice singing. Investigating they find it’s coming from Mathias’s Room and softly open the door and peek inside.

(Que song, Falling in love Sung by EAT Inc.)

“Wise men say, Only fools rush in. But i can’t help falling in love with You.” Mathias starts singing happily much to all the mares surprise as he sings rather well.

“Shall i stay? Would it be a sin? If i can’t help falling in love with You. Like a river flows surely to the sea. Darling so it goes some things are meant to be.”Mathias sings rather openly getting the girls all to stare at him rather impressed at his voice. Rarity on the other hand is enraptured with the song and takes a step forward.

“Oh take my hand. Take my whole life too. For i can’t help falling in love with you.” Mathias sings rather happily as his gaze continues to focus upon the nearing of the night. As the sun is already starting to set.

”Like a river flows Surely to the sea. Darling so it goes. Somethings are meant to be.” Mathias once again sings as the setting sun casts a light upon his face and exposed torso making it seem as if his peach tan skin is glowing. The light catching his eyes in just the right angle to make them sparkle. Rarity so enraptured by his voice and looks doesn’t notice when she begins walking towards his bedside.

“Take my hand. Take my whole life too. For i can’t help falling in love with you. For i can’t help falling in love with you.” Rarity sitting down right next to his bedside as Mathias finishes strumming his guitar and ends the song getting Rarity to smile longingly at him before clapping her hooves together rather softly. Gaining his attention Mathias quickly looks towards her and sees the look on her face as she begins clapping her hooves together. The other 5 plus spike all begin walking in and clapping as well getting mathias to blush softly and rub the back of his head as he than turns to look out the window at the setting sun.

(Que song end.)

“Hi girls . . .uh what brings you here?” Mathias asks a bit embarrassed that the mares had heard him playing and singing.

“That was wonderful darling. . .So full of emotion and caring. And your voice. Mmm that was just amazing.” Rarity says looking at Mathias who blushes at the praise a little nervous about what they might have thought about it.

“I’ll say, That song was so cute and well versed. II don’t think i could have sung it any better than you.” Fluttershy says making Mathias smile a little bit before giving a nervous chuckle.

“Wow that song was really nice sugar cube. Did you make it?” Applejack asks getting Mathias to shake his head.

“No i didn’t make it. It’s from my world. A rather popular song really so i’m not the only one who knows how to play and sing it. I just uhh . . . .I sing a bit better than others. I wasn’t expecting you so late. Which is why i was playing in the first place.” Mathias says getting Twilight to blush and chuckle nervously.

“That was a combination of mine and pinkie’s fault. I was spending to much time making a to-do list and she was setting up a rather . . . .well it doesn’t matter right now. So would you mind answering some questions i have?” Twilight asks getting Mathias to shake his head saying he’d be happy to.

After 3 more hours of talking the night soon comes upon everyone. The entire three hours is spent having Mathias answer the strangest and most intelligent questions he’s ever had to answer. A few got into the more personal section but he still answered honestly only to soon have all 6 girls leave having spike stay and look up at him.

“You have a problem little man?” Mathias asks spike who just looks at Mathias before closing his eyes and than saying.

“Teach me.” Spike says a little seriously.

“Teach you? Teach you what?” asks Mathias a little curious.

“Teach me to play guitar. . .and to sing. Teach me how to make the girls swoon like i saw Rarity do for you when you were singing that Song earlier. Please i just need it.” Spike says to Mathias getting mathias to raise an eyebrow at him. He than thinks about it before answering.

“Tell me why you want me to teach you how to do those things. If your answer is good enough i’ll teach you. . .If i don’t like why you want to do it i’ll refuse.” Mathias says sternly.

“I . . .I wanna. . . . *Sigh* I wanna learn how to play guitar and sing so i can win Rarity’s heart. I’ve had the biggest crush on her since i first saw her. She’s the most amazing Mare in the world Besides Twilight and I wanna try and get her to like me as more than what she does now.I don’t wanna just have a quick fling with her either . . . .i want the whole package of things like dating, love making and spending time together you know.” Spike says getting Mathias to think over his words.

“Come by tomorrow morning 6 Am Sharp. I’ll teach you how to play and sing. I’ll give you advice on dating and winning women if i can also. The mares in this world seem to be just women being women so the methods i use will help you out. Just know that none of this should be used for dickish things like tricking women into having sex with you nor should they be used to seduce women only to get them to give you things than never see them again. I hate when men do that as it gives all of us a bad name. So once again. Be here 6 am Sharp. I’ll teach you all i can about winning the heart of the girl you love.” Mathias says with a tender smile before patting Spikes head getting spike to smile and nod.

“Of course Mathias thanks. I’ll be back tomorrow. Oh this is gonna be so cool.” Spike says before rushing off to catch up with twilight and the others. Mathias looking at the full moon and the stars just sighs happily before calling out.

“I don’t know how many times I've looked upon the stars and moon of the many different worlds Lulu. . . .But each time i did i was always calmed down and happy. Your nights are what kept me going for all those torturous years alone and in the violent hellscape that was my life after the war. I don’t know if you could hear what i said those times but i’ll say it once more. Thank you for bringing your gorgeous night to me. Every time i see it it’s as if i’m looking upon a masterpiece of art each and every time it comes in. Please Lulu. . . .For me, Never change and never forget that no matter who you were, Who you are or who you will be. . .. I’ll always be your friend.” Mathias says putting his hand on the ice cold window of his room before laying down on the bed and once again falling asleep.

Author's Note

Heres Chapter two, Now for those who want to listen to the song i had Mathias sing in the chapter Heres the Video That was made By EAT INC

I thought the song itself would set the mood for how Mathias will act and set the stage for future encounters between him and others. Showing what he can be rather then what he used to be.
