Displaced: Against the grain
Chapter 1
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Will you guys get the hell outta my way. I just want to talk to the Princesses about helping me find my daughter you morons. Damn, y'all act like I want to hurt someone." I was trying to keep my cool while dealing with the thirty guards in front of me, but it was getting harder to control my temper. I guess I could understand if a seven foot tall being built like a tank came walking in your front door and was pretty much was demanding to see the ones your sworn to protect, but like I said. I just need their help in finding my daughter.
"How do we know you wouldn't hurt anypony? What reassurance do we have that is all you want" asked the guard closest to me. I sighed heavily and rubbed my temples.
"If I was going to get violent, don't you think I would have started with you guys" I asked squatting down and arching a eyebrow.
"Um..... Okay. You have a point, but court is in session and you can't interfere. You will have to wait and get a private audience with the Princesses later today." Standing I looked at the guard and shook my head.
"Sorry, little dude, but that won't work. My daughter is far more important to me than Celestia listening to a bunch of whiny nobles" I stated as I did a vanishing step to the throne room doors. "You have my word" I started before looking back at the guards "that I'm not here to harm anyone and I will act accordingly with respect towards your rulers." I paused for a moment as my senses told me of three significant power levels behind the doors. Well, I bet I know who they are I thought to myself as I opened the doors.
Or I should say I ripped the doors open since I was still getting familiar with my new body. There I was, standing with the door handles in my hands looking down at two doors that I had literally ripped off of their hinges because I was not accustomed to my strength. Dropping said handles, I shook my head muttering about said strength and started walking down the aisle towards the throne dias that held four thrones, three of which was occupied. Twilight sat in the furthest to the left throne with Celestia on her left and Luna was to Celestia's left.
Making my way, I could see a wide variety of emotions playing out on the faces gawking at me. Awe mixed in with curiosity on some, but the most prevalent emotion was fear, especially when they noticed my size. Most of the ponies I had met only came up to mid thigh. I don't know how tall Celestia and Luna are, but I figure they should be over waist to chest high on me. As I drew closer to the Princesses, I noticed a filly was sitting with Luna and she was one I recognized. The filly had to be my daughter because she looked just like the oc she had created. A snow white earth pony with dishwater blond mane and tail. By then I was at the dias and looking at the filly. Celestia had started to speak, but I cut her off by holding up a hand.
"Paige?" When I called her name she looked at me in confusion before she smiled and tears started to fall down her face. The one thing any parent will tell you is that you can recognize your child by their eyes. Especially if they take after you in that department and I was looking into the same shade of blue I see every time I look in a mirror. When she spoke, it was in a tear choked voice that still sounded like her.
"Daddy?"
"Yeah, its me short stack." My words must have been enough for her since she practically jumped from the top of the dias into my arms. Over and over she kept repeating "daddy" while in my arms. As a pony Paige was a lot smaller than she was as a human and had pretty well disappeared in the hug I was giving her, but she was happy to be back with me and was chattering about it the entire time. During her monologue I just happened to glance back up at the Princesses and could see them smiling at the scene in front of them. I let her continue for a minute before I interrupted her.
"Okay, ya little chatterbox I get it. Let me speak to the Princesses so we can figure out what's going to happen to us. Okay?"
"Okay, daddy." When I looked back to them, Celestia looked at my daughter then to me.
"What relationship does she have with you?"
"She's my daughter."
"Adopted then" Luna asked smiling.
"No. She's my daughter by birth." All three of them had looks of surprise on their faces, muzzles? Hell I don't know what to call them, but they definitely was shocked by what I said. Twilight finally stuttered out the question I'm sure they all had.
"H...how is t..that possible? Your h...human and she's a pony, unless her mother was a pony?"
"Its simple really. When she was born she was human and I was too, but now we are what's called displaced. She's a pony and I'm a Sayian. All because some cosmic entity wanted a thrill." All three had the fish look going and I'm pretty sure all of the ponies behind me was the same as well. It was a few minutes before any of them regained their composure enough to ask the inevitable question and it was Luna who asked it.
"Who would do such a thing? To rip two beings from their home and change them into something they are not? What manner of creature would do this?" I thought for a moment before deciding to tell them the honest truth. I had read displaced fics before and I wasn't going to hide anything from them, but I didn't want it to be common knowledge, so I asked if we could continue in private.
"Can we take this conversation somewhere private? I don't think everyone should know about the details of our arrival here." They traded looks back and forth before Celestia nodded in agreement.
"As you wish." She stopped for a second before realizing something. "I'm sorry, but we never asked for your name. Your daughter claimed hers was Honeysuckle, we have heard you call her Paige. Is that her correct name?"
"It is her middle name, her full name is Savannah Paige Voit. My name is Jeremy Lynn Voit."
