Chapter IV: Celestial Tea

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Jacob lives in Equestria since week. Ponies in Equestria treated him, like normal person. Jacob found himself a house, close to Twilight's castle. Rarity enployed him as an assistant. He also often visited Twilight to tell her about his world. They became really close friends. Jacob's live started to be normal. It was weird to him, but he liked it. He was happy, that his life was finally normal.

Jacob was in his house, sitting on the couch and playing with a fireball. He had a free day, because Rarity was spending time with her younger sister, Sweetie Belle. His boredness was broken by the royal chariot, landing on his lawn. Chariot was empty.

"Princess Celestia invites you for a tea, Mr.Dracons." One of the royal guards said. Jacob sat in. After that, chariot moved to Canterlot.

"Hair, messy. Goatee, half inch. Coat, dragonscaled. Phoenix, in holster. Yeap, everything's fine."

Royal guards escorted Jacob to Celestia's tower. Princess was in her chamber. She was sitting on the pillow, at the table. On it were two cups, teapot and some cakes and biscuits. Celestia nodded, giving her guards to leave her and Jacob alone.

"Good to see you again, Mr.Dracons." Celestia said with smile.

"The feeling's mutual. And call me Jacob, Princess." He said, sitting on the pillow, with crossed legs, right in front of the Princess.

"Then, call me just Celestia, or like you want. You don't have to be formal."

"Is 'Tia' good?"

"Yes, it is."

"Do I smell green tea with lemon and mint?"

"It's my favorite."

"I like green tea, either." Jacob said, pouring himself a cup of tea, then taking a sip. "No sugar. Just, how I like. Sorry, that I'm not having any suit or something like that, but it was unexpected."

"You have nothing to sorry about. I like your coat. It seems so special to you."

"Because it is. It was always with me. It's some kind of an amulet. It's also a gift from my master. He taught me everything about sword wielding."

"Was he a good teacher?"

"He was. Who can teach better, than the best swordmaster in the whole galaxy?"

"Speaking ot it, I want to know more about your world." She said, taking a sip of a tea. "What is your native planet?"

"Earth, in the Solar System. It's a planet with differential climate. Other races call it sometimes 'The Engine of the Universe'."

"How many races are in your galaxy?"

"There is four of them. The youngest one are Humans. Twilight probably told you about them."

"A little. What is the oldest one?"

"Draconians. They are far dragon's cousins. The most important thing in their life is honor. But, there is always a black sheep. Like Ven'galion. The complete opposite of the Draconians are Devils. They look like Humans, but they have grey or white skin and a pair of horns. They're mostly criminals, but they don't fly off their volcanic planet. Sometimes, we call them 'outsiders'."

"So, what is the last race?" She said with fascination.

"Werenimals. It's the race of the anthropomorphic animals, mostly mammals and birds. They're peaceful and kind race.
The best example was my wife. But, enough about me, tell me something about you."

Celestia was little surprised.

"What exactly?" She asked.

"For the start, how did you become a princess? I don't thing it's because you're an alikorn."

"It's true, Mr...., I mean, Jacob. Me and my sister, Luna, were just a fillies, when Equestria was just found. We were the students of Star Swirl the Bearded."

"Twilight told me about him. Actually, it was a really long essay about his history and spells."

"Yeah, that's Twilight's style. Anyways, he tought us most spells, we know. After learning, we tried to help other ponies in Equestria. When I was helping unicorns rise the sun, I got my cutie mark."

"And Luna got her's, when she rised the moon."

"Exactly. When the leaders of the three species, Princess Platinum, Commander Hurricane and Chancellor Puddinghead heared about it, the decided to make us their heirs. But then, Discord attacked Equestria. We were completely helpless against his chaos."

"I know rest of the story." Jacob interupted her. "You found the Elements of Harmony, after that, you turned Discord into peace of limestone, became princesses, and then you fought with Sombra, Tirek and other bullshit."

"To say this as straight as possible, yes. Do you have any more questions?"

"Yes. How in the fuck your mane is flowing without a blow of wind? Is this some kind of spell?"

"No, it's natural for alicorns, I suppose." She said, putting her hoof on jaw.

Jacob and Celestia started to talk about nothing and started to really like themselfs and know more about each other.

They both didn't care about time or lack of tea. Their conversation was stopped by dark blue alicorn with mane like night sky.

"DEAR SISTER, IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT AND SUN IS STILL ON THE SKY. EXPLAIN YOURSELF." Alicorn said with royal Canterlot voice.

Celestia stood up scared and immediately fixed her mistake.

"I'm so, so sorry, Luna. I was talking with Jacob and I completely stucked in it." Celestia explained, scratching back of her head with her hoof.

Luna looked at her sister's guest.

"So, you're Jacob Dracons?" Luna asked.

"The one and only. Nice to meet you, Luna."

"Pleasure, but it's time to you, dear sir, to leave. My sister needs some rest." Luna said, with almost emotionless voice.

Celestia looked with dissapointment at her sister.

"I thing, that Jacob would stay with us for tonight." Celestia proposed. "What do you thing?" She asked her guest.

"Refuse to princess would be a sin." He awswered with smile.

Celestia smiled and called her guards. When they arrived, she ordered them to escort Jacob to guest's chambers.

"Can I ask you a favor, Luna?" Celestia asked, when Jacob left.

"Of course."

"Go to Jacob's dream. I want to know, what is the condition of his sanity. He seamed normal, but I must be sure."

Luna nodded and left, saying, "Goodnight, dear sister." When she was in her tower, Luna entered to Dream's World. After a while, she saw the doors to Jacob's dream. They were made of chestnut, but covered in blood and fire. Luna was little scared of what she would find inside. With unsure gasp, she opened the door and went thought them. She went into the middle of the great battle. Everywhere were corpses, blood, and fighting human-like creatures. Luna was frightened of it. Inside of the battle was Jacob. Next to him was something simillar to wolf, but it was standing on two legs, had long, dark blond hair, amethyst eyes and bow in hands and it was wearing leather armor. It was fighting on his side. Far away, she saw some crystal castle. Her eyes went white.

"Is This Crystal Empire?" Luna thought, still scared. "What is going on here?".

Suddenly, fight stopped, literally. Everything was stopped in time, except Luna and Jacob. Human walked to the princess.

"What... is this?" Luna asked scared and confused.

"This, dear princess, is Battle of Diamond Citadel. The last battle with Ven'galion." Jacob explained. "I dream of it every night. Pretty scary, isn't it?"

"How can you be so peaceful, when you dream about such awful thing, like this? She said to Jacob.

"Because, I got used to it. Besides, I can always see in this dream her." He said, pointing at human-like she-wolf.

"Who is this?"

"Kay'llana Ritile Fullmoon. My former wife."

"She's... unusual." Only that Luna could say.

"Yes, she was. I've never met kinder or more friendly woman. She was also very beautiful. Of course, for you this might be, at least, weird."

"Okay, I saw enough." Luna said, leaving Jacob's dream. Celestia was waiting for her.

"So, what did you see?" Celestia asked with curiousity.

Luna's face was a mix of fear and disgust.

"He's a fucking furry!" She yelled.
