Worthless

A pleasant conversation

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I cocked my head at the two new ponies.

One was a small purple alicorn, she seem to be at a complete loss for words.
The other a yellow Pegasus with long pink main and tail, her teal eyes were fearful, Which made me frown.

Celestia smiled, “I'd like too introduce Twilight Sparkle princess of friendship and Fluttershy the element of kindness.”
I gave a polite nod, “it is nice too meet you both, my name is Ezekiel Charter.”

Twilight’s ears perked and she spoke “ah I see you speak equestrian, where did you learn?” She pulled a note book and pencil from her saddle bag, She flipped it open ready to Wright.

I shook my head and gave a small laugh, “Well you see our are languages are spoken the same but written differently, and it’s called English where I'm from.”

Her eyes lit up a million questions coming to mind, Twilight cleared her throat, “Well lets get comfortable, I have a few questions for you.”
Celestia had called for tea and we situated our selves around the short coffee table.

As twilight set out her note book and some flash cards that assumedly contained her questions or at least some of them, Celestia served the tea.
I took a sip and was pleasantly surprised by the flavour, “hmm I taste the blueberry… but I can’t tell what the other flavour is.”

Celestia smiled “rose hip and lemon grass.” Was her simple answer I gave a nod “it's very good, who ever made it sure knows what their doing.”
Twilight lightly tapped on the table to gain our attention, “may I proceed with my questions?”
I nodded my approval, and she lifted a card with her magic.

She cleared her throat “What is you're full name?”
“Ezekiel Darwin Charter.”
“What is the name or name's of your species?”

“The scientific name is Homo Sapiens, but human is more commonly used.”
“IS you’re species a docile one, yes or no?”

Ezekiel thought form a moment “Yes and no.”
Twilight hummed, “What is the name of you country?”
“Canada spelt c-a-n-a-d-a. "
Twilight made a separate note on another piece of paper, “Mhm and where is Canada?”
“the continent of North America.”
Twilight tilted her head, “ I will follow up on that later on…” She selected another card, “What is the dietary type of you species?”

I paused for a minute thumbing the side of my tea cup, not sure of how to answer. With a sigh I replied in one word “omnivorous…”

The three mares were silent staring at me as if I had suddenly sprouted a second head.
Twilight opened her mouth to replay but could only stumble her words. “I uh- I um… I NEED A MOMENT!” and in a flash of light she was gone from the room.

I looked down brows furrowed wishing I had lied, I was sure this was going to be no light issue due to how Twilight reacted.

“Ezekiel” Celestia said in a flat tone causing me to flinch “IS you're spices a… predatory one?”
I nodded remaining silent, Too afraid to look at her.

Fluttershy finally spoke, “w-would you ever…” she pause a moment “would you ever eat a pony?”
I shook my head and looked up her eyes held determination, and stared into mine unwavering.

I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding, “Never…” I held our stare and she smiled turning to Celestia, “I believe him.” She spoke with assurance.

It was then Twilight returned in another flash of light… Dressed head too hoof in armour, she smiled “I am ready too continue!”

I laughed which caused Twilight to frown, “I promise there is absolutely no need for armour. I don’t bite.” I said smiling.

I sat out on the balcony cross legged studying the night sky, it was strangely so similar too the sky back home.
So many similar constellations but also many that are different, I could tell the moon was different it looked smoother.

But the sky was where the similarities ended, the city look different as well as the plants and animals even if it was subtle I could tell.

It felt like I had been dropped in a fantasy world or cartoon, their were so many impossible things.
From talking ponies with horns and Wings their apparently was also gryphons, hippogriff that also happen to be hippocampus, dragons, changlings and so much more.

My train of thought was derailed by a voice, “greetings Ezekiel, I do believe it is time we meet face to face.”

I turned to see a tall blue pony though she was not as tall as Celestia, Her aqua eyes held strength she also had an ethereal main twinkling with stars that flowed in an non-existent breeze.

I gawked in awe at her main it was like a piece of the night sky, She then spoke again. “I am Luna princess of the night and- are you listening?”

I shook my head and stood up, “Yes.. you just caught me off guard, it‘s nice to meet.”
She smiled “likewise… so I have been informed you are omnivorous, And I was curious as too… what you eat exactly.”

I was honestly surprised she asked “D-do you really want too know?”
She nodded “Yes, please do tell me. I want too know if you’ll eat any ponies.”

I sighed, I think this is the start of a theme.
