A princess being cornered

I froze in fear, I wouldn't have moved anyways since the guards bound me to the ground, but what I had heard stunned me.

"I thought this would be no surprise to you, after all, you were quite a struggle against my amnesia spell, which makes you forget about the human race, who you were, and what you did as a human, but I was successful, nonetheless, but somehow, you found traces of your memory about the human race and how it existed." She said.

"Two hundred years ago, it was your turn to become a pony and decide whether you wanted to stay or not, of course your decision was 'yes'," She continued.

I was still stuck in fear by what I was being told.

"It's amazing how my magic gives you eternal life when you turn into a pony, if you were to go back to earth, you would simply turn into ash since your life as a human is over after two hundred years of aging," She finished.

"Wouldn't somepony notice that I was alive for longer than the average age limit of a pony, and how come I didn't notice me being alive this long? Why haven't I aged over the long period of time?" I muttered.

"When was the last time anypony celebrated your birthday? Not recently, of course, after a human undergoes the full pony life cycle and they become an adult pony, there pony age will permanently stay the same while you still age on Earth, because the transformation into a pony comes with a magical spell that does not allow your birthday to ever come and you would never be reminded of it just like every other human who signs the contract, The spell also doesn't allow anypony to mention or know about your birthday," She smirked.

"Now if you don't mind, I'll make the package reappear for your teleportation back to Earth, don't worry, the process of you aging two hundred years will be the utmost pain you ever received when you go back to your planet, good bye, Jackie," Celestia said as she removed my binds, magically appearing a cardboard box out of thin air, and slowly levitating me towards the box.

I was unable to speak, I was too frightened by what was happening, until something opened the sealed door behind me, no, somepony, no, someponies.

"Sister, What is this madness?!" The anonymous voice spoke.


PLEASE NOTE: The first person view is now in Blue Flare's perspective.

-Yesterday after the confrontation with Blue Flare and Lyra-

I slowly closed Lyra's door and left back to my house. Mom still seemed to still be working, so I decided it was best not to bother her. I made a hay sandwich and fed myself, and then I walked back up to my bedroom. I couldn't stop thinking about Lyra, I felt sorry for what I had said to her, but there is no way I could believe her. I couldn't help but think, was she right? Is there really another sentient being out there? I spent nearly the whole day thinking about this, until mom came to my room only to shut off my light and say 'good night' to me.

The next day, mom offered me breakfast and wished me the best of luck on my first school day, I noticed that mom had crafted me a backpack, she said she had some spare time from her work to make me one. It was a dark blue backpack, it matched my fur color, but it is understandable why she didn't have any time to spruce it up. After I walked to school, the memories of the school house filled in with all the red and pink hearts came back to me. However, I decided to get over it since I really had no other option. I entered the school; in the nick of time too, the school bell rang about half a minute after I entered. Ms. Cherilee greeted me as I entered the door and she gave me a couple of text books on some anonymous topics such as reading, spelling, cutie marks, math, and grammar.

After a couple minutes, Ms. Cherilee got in front of the board and began to lecture us. It was not too long before mom came bursting through the doors; Ms. Cherilee tried to act as polite as possible in the situation.

"One moment, kids," Cherilee said walking over towards the door.

Ms. Cherilee and my mom were conversing, and whatever it was about, I could tell that it was not good by my mom's expressions.

"Blue Flare, you may be excused," Ms. Cherilee said walking back to the center of the room.

I walked out the door with my mom. She seemed upset.

"Lyra is not home, she left a note saying she was leaving to Canterlot, and that she was going to confront the princess about humans being turned into ponies," She said worryingly.

My mom added onto her statement; however Lyra pretty much already gave me the lowdown so it was not necessary to listen to what she was saying entirely. When she finished I replied with a question.

"Umm... Mother, I'm not sure how this concerns you, why do you and Lyra keep talking about these 'humans'?" I replied.

"I'll explain later, you're coming with me to Canterlot," She said tugging on my hoof.

My mom seemed so worried for what seemed like nothing, she purchased me and herself a ticket aboard the train. I did not want to question anything further because it might make her even more upset.

We arrived in Canterlot, mother guided me over to Canterlot castle, and I've never been there before and always wanted to see the inside. When we got to the castle, they greeted my mother as if she was a princess just like princess Celestia. However, they had a rather grim look on me and were unsure whether to allow us to pass. They let us in anyways, I wanted to get a good glimpse of the interior of the castle, however my mom rushed me up to the dark section of the castle. There were so many stair cases and hallways; we climbed for what felt like hours. When we reached the top, there was a fancy door; it was a door worthy of a princess alright. Rarity knocked with utmost urgency, you could definitely hear yawning. When the door opened it was the other Princess, Princess Luna.

"Rarity, we require our sleep, for the daylight still shows," The Princess said.

Rarity went into a whole conversation about pretty much what Lyra discussed with me, and the whole summoning humans and then turning them into ponies without a trace of their memory. The Princess beckoned to us, she knew where Lyra and Princess Celestia would be. When we got there, there was a metal-like door, surrounded by a pink aura. The rest of the room was exactly like the door, metal with a pink aura around it.

"Thou stand back," Princess Luna said as her horn started to glow.

The magic locking mechanism unlocked and we opened the door.

"Sister, What is this madness?!" Princess Luna spoke.
