The Friendship Tale

Dear Diary

About one and a half month ago, I've met a human, named Jacob Dracons. He said, that he's not like the others of his kind. He called himself 'mutant' or 'Gaya's Champion.' Earlier, I thought, that he's the legendary Elemental Prince, but, by the accident, he lost his powers and now he's like an earth pony. He's actually very happy about that, because he always dreamed about normal life. Now, he lives in Ponyville in house, nearby Twilight's castle. I really like him. He seems dangerous, because of his look, but, if somepony meets him closer, he's kind and really friendly. But, there's always a bad side. Jacob had very hard life. He was born with supernatural powers and elemental magic, got involved into giant war and lost his wife and brother. He was forced to kill many people, what was slowly breaking his mind and turning him into a madman. All because of two gods from his world, Gaya and Gabriel. Jacob tries to forget about past, but he still has nightmares and attacks of hallucinations. Even my sister, Luna, can't help with it. She doesn't even want to help him. She things, he's some kind of monster. That he should be eliminated. But, I know, there is a way to help him. I'm giving him as much support and guidance, as I can. I also gave him my friendship. To remind him about it, I want to give him a gift. Jacob is swordmaster, but without a sword. When he defeated Queen Chrysalis, I ordered for him a katana, at the best blacksmith in Equestria. He arrived this morning to deliver a sword. I hope Jacob will like it.

Celestia's journal entry was interrupted by knocking to her chamber's door.

"Come in, please." She said, hiding her diary under the bed. It was one of the royal guards.

"Your Highness, Mr. Dracons has arrived." Royal Guard said, bowing.

"Send him to my chambers."

"Yes, Princess."

Guard left. After a while, to Celestia came her sister, Luna.

"Sister, are you sure, being alone with Jacob is a good idea? Maybe I will stay here?" She said worried. Celestia looked at her sister with smile.

"Luna, I know, you're worried, but I'll be fine. Jacob's my friend."

"You had to choose as a friend a psychopath from other dimention." Luna said, little mad. "Sister, this relationship isn't the best idea. He can harm you. I don't want to lose my sister, again."

"Luna, you're overreacting." Celestia said with little more serious tone. "Jacob isn't a psychopath. He's just after hard experience."

"Don't you remember Crystal Empire, two weeks ago? He killed Shining Armor. And almost Cadence."

"But he regrets that and he honored Shining's death. He even made it with a tradition from his world." Celestia said more angry.

"Then he left. Who do this in the middle of burial?"

"Someone, who wants to calm down!" Celestia shouted. Luna was terrified. "Luna, Jacob is normal person. He just needs some support and help. He just needs someone, who will talk to him, when he's sad, scared or someone, who understands him. I really understand him. He's not the only one god, who wants to be normal." Luna was curious about her sister's words. "I don't want to be a princess. I want to be like other ponies. I'm exhausted of this fancy language, meetings, diplomation and shit like that."

"Sister, language" Luna said.

"What, I can't curse once for a while, because I'm a princess?" Celestia said with anger and sadness. "I want to say and do, whatever I want to. When I'm with Jacob, I feel, like I can do everything. He doesn't see me as a princess. I'm just a normal pony for him." Celestia smiled and cried. "I feel happy close to him."

Luna understood everything. That terrified her. "Sister, you're talking, like you were... in love with him."

Celestia looked at Luna with blazing eyes.

"LEAVE!!!" Celestia screamed her sister of the room by Royal Canterlot Voice.

Princess of the Night landed just under the feet of the view, what she didn't wanted to watch. 6 feets high, two legs, mechanic left arm, dragonscale coat, goatee, light orange eyes, long, messy, chestnut hair and that roguish smile. She was just under the feet of Jacob Dracons.

"I'm not a god anymore, so you don't have to be obiedient." Jacob joked. Luna stood up, snorted angrily and walked away. "Is everything alright, Tia?"

"It's fine." Celestia said calmly. "I'm happy to see you again."

"Just like me. So, you want to talk about something specific or just talk about bullshit?"

Celestia took with her magic a long box from the table and gave it to Jacob. Human opened it. Inside was katana in black wooden scabbard. Handle was made of ebony and braided in orange wrapper. Guard was made of gold and looked like alicorns on Equestria's flag.

"It's a gift from me." Celestia said with smile. "Do you like it?"

Jacob pulled the sword out. Blade was glimming in sunlight.

"I can recognize good work of hammer and fire. And this is masterpiece of blacksmithing. High carbon steel, tempered in good oil, sharpened for high gloss. I saw many swords, but this one is real beauty." Jacob pulled the sword back. "Marvelous gift. Thanks, Tia."

Celestia had a little blush on her face. "Glad to hear it. Maybe you want to test it? In the barracks are training dummies."

Jacob strapped the sword to his back. "Let's go, then."

Jacob and Celestia were in the barracks. Inside were some Royal Guards on break. Jacob went to the training field and took one of the dummies in the middle. It looked like the earth pony. Jacob pulled the sword out and slowly started to swing it like cane, to test it's balance. Then, he made a quick cut, then second and third. Dummy turned into pieces. Jacob spinned the sword and pulled it back to scabbard.

"Light and sharp. Perfect." He said to himself, then went to Celestia. Guards had jaws on the ground. "Who needs magic, when you have skills?" Jacob sighed with smile. "Listen, I didn't had breakfast, yet. How about making pancakes?" Jacob proposed.

"Sure." Celestia said, with smile.

"Then..." Jacob took the sword, again, and pointed it forward. "To the kitchen. For pancakes and glory."

They both laughed and made their way to the kitchen.
