As Armanii and Galog stood before the gates of…what was the name of the city? Armanii had already forgotten, but as they stood outside the gates, Armanii was taking in the fresh air and beautiful scenery. Galog on the other hand was walking strait up to the guards stationed outside the gates and proceeded to scream at them in Talomanzan. I’m not going to translate, it was pretty vulgar…

“Yatz mahnah grotsva! Imleih yemizi farron! Sukta arom qweck ipzii tyu, cazzaxa!”

The two pony guards looked at him with disgust.

“Who are you and what right do you have to scream at me?” one of the guards barked.

Armanni got in between Galog and the guard and stated in English.

“We have come to speak to one Princess Celestia and one Princess Luna, do you know where we may find such figures?”

The two guards looked at each other in confusion. They faced Armanii once again and stated to him…

“This is the royal city of Canterlot, you can find the Princesses here, but we cannot allow you to pass without knowing your intentions.”

“Fair enough. We come seeking diplomatic relations with your princesses.”

“From what land do you hail from?”

“Talomanza.”

“Never heard of it.” the guard stated, obviously not caring about where they came from.

“That’s because we have come through this portal here, we are not from this land or any land in this plain of existence.”

“What? You aren’t making any sense. I can’t let you pass.”

Galog pushed Armanii aside.

“Listen here you sleazy puny little horse cazzaxa! We demand to see your…” he spit on the ground. “Princesses. We are not here to fuck around. You will let us pass or so help me Mara I will decapitate you where you stand!”

“GALOG! You must pardon my escort, he didn’t mean that at all.”

The guard starting backing away from Galog, he had nearly scared him out of his mind.

“I don’t know if you mean peace, but I don’t want to die, we will escort you to the throne room…”

“That is much better.” Galog said with a very smug look.

As the gates opened, the soldiers walked behind the armored guards up the streets of Canterlot. The populace stared as they walked up the streets, looking at the men slack jawed. Many forced themselves to look away, or darted into nearby establishments to avoid the humans.

The streets were beautifully decorated, the buildings stood tall among the towers and the castle. The walk was long, but it gave Armanii, and even Galog, time to marvel at the architecture. Galog said a few things under his breath that Armanii couldn't hear. The doors had beautiful decor, brown with gold hinges and a silver door nob. He wondered how the ponies managed to open doors. Maybe they just keep them open all the time? It didn't matter. At some points, he couldn't stop himself from staring at the glowing, golden towers. This was the most beautiful city he had ever seen, beating out Paris, and Moscow, but those, he had only seen in pictures.

He saw a baker bringing out cookies to a group of hungry ponies, and he and Galog took a detour to have a few.

"Excuse me sir, may we have one of your cookies?"

The pony looked in shock at the two humans, of which he had never seen before. Armanii noticed him shivering.

"Do we scare you?"

He didn't respond.

"I'm sorry if we scare you, sir."

"Why are you apologizing Armanii? He's afraid. That is good!" Galog said as he took a cookie from the tray.

"Wait for him to offer it to us, Galog!" Armanii snapped as he grabbed the cookie from Galog, giving it back to the pony.

"You...you...you two are welcome to some cookies...best in Canterlot!"

"Thank you sir. Now take one Galog."

Galog took a few cookies and gave one to Armanii.

"You really piss me off with your manners Armanii..."

"And you need to LEARN some manners. You'll never get anywhere in diplomacy if you take what you want at will"

"You'll never get anywhere in the military if you don't make it clear what you want."

"I'm not so much a killing machine as you. Just shut up and let me do the talking."

"I will do no such thing! This is my job too!"

"Shut up and eat your cookie." Armanii said as he popped the cookie in his mouth. His eyes went wide as he chewed, it was by far the best cookie he had ever had. He swore it was made of sugar and nothing else. It was THAT sweet.

Galog tried the same thing, popping the cookie in his mouth. Only to instantly spit it out.

"Sweet Perci...that is TOO sweet!"

"You must be joking! It's perfect!" Armanii looked at the pony chef. "Thank you so much, but we must be on our way."

"G...Glad you liked the cookies...sorry about your friend."

"Do not worry about him, he is just a Yelzmaniz"

"Yelzma who?"

Galog interrupted.

"It means one who finds joy in nothing." he said in a very angry tone.

"It's true, you are."

He looked at Armanii in a very angry way.

"Snive tu cazzaxa!" which is basically telling someone to 'Fuck off'

"Don't get snippy! We're going now."

"I just want this over with, but YOU must go and have a cookie break."

"Fine, next time we'll stop by somewhere YOU want to go."

"We won't, I hate this place."

Armanii and Galog walked away from the shop and continued following the guards. over the course of two hours, Armanii stopped at many shops and schools within Canterlot, and throughout the time, Galog got more and more furious. Almost to the point where he nearly screamed at a little filly passing by who dropped an apple on his foot. He was nearly foaming at the mouth when they had FINALLY reached Canterlot Castle.

“So, this is where your rulers reside?” Armanii said, staring that the amazing feat of architecture before him.

“That’s right, We can lead you inside to the front of the throne room, but that’s all we can do.”

“That will do.”

They lead them through the doors and up the hallowed halls of Canterlot Castle, where they were stopped by another guard, who was standing before a large door. He raised a hoof to stop the stallions leading the humans.

“What matter of joke is this? What in Equestria are these?”

“We don’t know, they request to speak to the princesseses. They wish to establish diplomatic relations with uh…what was the name of your land again?”

“Talomanza.” Replied Galog, who was gritting his teeth. "It's not hard to remember."

“Right. Well, they have requested an audience.”

The guard looked deep into Galogs eyes, then into Armanii’s.

“I’m sorry, but the princess is currently in a meeting.”

Galog looked in frustration. “With who?”

“The Elements of Harmony. I’m afraid you can’t see her right now.”

“The elements of what? This is ridiculous, we DEMAND to see your rulers!” Galog snarled, trying his best not to strike the stallion before him.

“You cannot see her, that is the last I will repeat that. Please escort them out.”

“Not now, No one denies Talomanza…” Galog shoved the stallion out of his way and threw the doors open.”

As Princess Celestia was addressing the Elements of Harmony about their recent lessons in friendship, the doors to the throne room suddenly burst open, with a man marching himself in.

“Sergeant Galog Ishmaam of Talomanza demanding an audience!” he shouted as he walked to the center of the room. Armanii followed far behind, poking his head out from behind the door.

“And Armanii Sve, diplomat.”

"Can you wait? We're almost finished"

“This is more important than your silly meetings!” Galog barked.

"I can help you with whatever you need soon, I'm just finishing up."

"Denying us is not a wise decision Suulmeg..."

“Galog! My apologies your highness, we come from a land known as Talomanza, and we have come to discuss diplomatic relations with Equestria. We have no issue waiting while you finish your meeting.”

Armanii spoke with the sincerest voice, trying to balance out and hopefully erase what Galog had said. Armanii proceeded to bow, then looked up.

“I was told that there was a second princess.”

“There is, but my sister is busy with other matters.”

“I see, very well. On behalf of Chairman Glitkaz Moroh, I hereby open myself to negotiation.”

Celestia watched and examined Armanii, paying little attention to Galog. In the meantime, Galog was staring at the other 6 ponies in the room, 2 unicorns, 2 Pegasus, and 2 ordinary ponies. They were very colorful, he wondered how the pink one would taste with his special Barbeque sauce...

“You seem like a very respectable…thing.”

“Human, your highness, and thank you.”

“What is it you offer?”

“I offer a trade alliance, a military conjoint, also education enhancements and Scientific advancements in medicine and technology.”

“Is there anything else?”

“That is all I have been prepared to offer your highness.”

“Shouldn’t your “Chairman” be offering me these negotiations?”

“The Chairman does not have the time to do such things. Instead he sends us diplomats.”

“What if I do not accept?”

“I am not allowed to release that information, orders of Matoko Gritz.”

“And that is?”

“My apologies princess, that is our Master General.”

“I see, and who is your friend?”

“That is-“ Armanii was cut off by Galog, who proceeded to yell with intensity.

“My name is Galog Ishmaam of the Talomanzan military forces. We are not here to play games Princess, and I STRONGLY suggest you accept our offerings.”

“I don’t like your tone human.”

“And I don’t like you! That doesn’t make this any easier! What is your decision?”

Armanii looked at Galog and told him to shut his mouth before he caused an incident.

“Too late Armanii. Go on Princess! Make your fucking move!”

“You’re making me rather angry Mr. Ishmaam or whatever your name is.”

Galog was furious now.

“I hear there is magic here, then use it on ME! Go ahead uzmin, do it!”

“Watch your tone around me. I am the ruler of this land.”

“But I do not bow to YOU!”

Celestia’s horn flared with a magical aura as she lifted Galog up into the air.

“Watch your tone around in this throne room human!”

Galog suddenly started laughing, he rolled back his sleeve and hit a button on his watch. Suddenly, Celestias magic shattered and he crashed to the ground, causing Celestia to stumble back.

“You’re magic is worthless against us Princess. I take your action as a declaration of WAR! Under threat of annihilation, take back your words and action against Talomanza!”

“I have not insulted you or your land in any way, and yet you threaten Equestria with war?”

“So be it cow! Let it be known on this day that you started a war that will end your lives! Your land shall burn, and YOU WITH IT!” Galog turned to walk out, leaving Armanii standing before the princess. He looked at her, then at Galog, he went to speak.

“Your highness…I-“

Celestia cut him off.

“Get out of my throne room! You are no longer welcome here!”

"But-“

“OUT!”

Armanii turned around and ran out of the throne room, yelling after Galog who was now walking out the front door to the palace.

“What in the name of Talos was that about? Do you realize what you’ve done!?”

“I know exactly what I did Armanii.”

“I was so close, we could have had a peaceful discussion, why did you have to run your mouth!?”

“For Talomanzas glory.”

“Glory or not, I don’t give a flying shit Galog! You have started an inter-dimensional war!”

“I know that! And I meant what I said. Talomanza will scorch and destroy this land, and we shall conquer it.”

“You can’t just go and kill innocent peop- ponies, or whatever they are. They did nothing to Talomanza, you have gone insane. Has your mind been taken by the mad god!?”

“I think it’s your mind that’s been taken Armanii.”

“Why do you insist on destroying things?!”

“Because it is glorious!”

They arrived outside the portal, and prepared to walk in, but Armanii stopped Galog.

“What drove you to start a war Galog!?”

Galog just turned and looked at him.

"You don't deserve to know, Armanii"

“I will be having a long talk to Gritz about this.” He said as he prepared to enter the portal.

Suddenly, Galog shoved Armanii to the ground and drew his sidearm, shooting once, but missing as Armanii rolled to the right.

“I can’t let you do that…Sergeant.”

“You HAVE lost your mind! This war will be the death of you AND me!”

“So be it.” He fired once more, but missed once again. As Armanii rose to run threw the portal, Galog tripped him with his leg and faced the portal. He turned towards Armanii one last time.

“When did you grow a heart?”

He then disappeared threw the portal.

Armanii got up as fast as he could to run thru after Galog, but the portal closed before he got to it, leaving him stranded in Equestria.

“Why Galog…why…”

He turned to walk back, he had to warn Celestia of the incoming danger…

How would he do it?
