Drifter in equestria rgre
Bodily Changes and a spa trip with some education
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs William appeared near his car in the desert at the side of the canterlot river all the ponies that came along stared at him but then Rainbow and Scootaloo rushed at him
"Awesome you grew wings , is that normal for humans? Do you know how to fly? Can you walk on clouds like pegasi?" Rainbow dash asked whilst flying near her new friend for a response.
"I honestly don't know and I don't find the wings awesome my clothes are torn I don't know how to move them let alone fly. I don't think this has been considered normal since I grew up in a world where magic is considered the stuff of legends and old pony tales" William replied nervously laughing because of the strange development.
William his answer made Scootaloo seem sad since she can't fly either because of her small wings but here stood William with wings size comparable to the princesses and he didn't admire them which only caused Scoots to pout
As William noticed Scoots pout he wanted to hug her but unexpectedly his right wing pulled her in a hug causing both the princesses , Rd and the cmc to smile which confused William.
"Uhm did I do something weird again?" William asked hoping he didn't break a unspoken law or seemed like a foal fiddler since he'd never want to be compared to that
"No ,my little human friend" Celestia replied in a motherly tone while smiling at William then William feels something in his new wings the little Scoots nussled her face in it causing William his heart to melt
"Thou art good with foals but did thou not say thou didn't know how to move thine wings" Luna replied smiling at the cute display
"Well it was well a ... Uhm instinctive movement honestly, I just saw little Scoots pout and seem sad and I just well. I am going to shut up before I make a bigger fool of myself" William said embarrassed
"Actually you didn't make a fool of yourself, you're acting like a stallion comforting their foal since for pegassi only let family and close friends get wrapped under their wings , that it's instinctive only makes it cuter" Rd replied with a big smile knowing the little squirt she cared for isn't only seen as a friend in the human its heart but that the human instinctively pulled Scoots in a wing cuddle. Of course being called cute by a mare caused William to blush slightly
"Oh , well I don't think I'm good with foals but I just can't see Scoots sad and pouting" William looked at scoots only to notice after playing with the cmc and the dragon while he was away she fell asleep and just wraps his right wing more around her
Both sweetie belle and Applebloom were tired but still looked at the cute display before heading into the car to rest.
Rd and Luna started cleaning up the picnic then Celestia heads to William
"William , my apologies that you couldn't enjoy the picnic with friends because of your kinds past but I've learned a few things by your actions that are like the stallions of old" Celestia said as she handed William a apple of sweet Apple acre's that they took along
William took the Apple and bit in it only to be overwhelmed by its tastiness and smiled then looked at Celestia "well , beside making you all worried. I hope you all enjoyed yourself or at least the foals did I hope we can have some real quality time later but uhm may I ask you a question Tia?" William said to her as if talking to a lifelong friend which caused Celestia to smile
"You may and it's amusing that you call me the same nickname as Luna does as for the comments on my devouring of pastries you made my sister laugh and I know you meant no ill will" Celestia replied smiling having the friendly conversation making her feel like a normal pony
"Well I was worried about your response to the teasing , I mean you do control the sun which honestly is scary but well my question is simple. Ebony , the nice lunar guard who I had the pleasure of enjoying the night sky with told me Scoots has it rough I.. Honestly don't know what she ment with that but I wish I could help the little one" William replied as he looked a bit sad to the little filly wrapped in his wing who seems to be blissfully sleeping
"Ooh, that is a sad story indeed , she is a orphan she hasn't got anypony besides her two aunts to be there for her and they have their own herd with a stallion which doesn't make it easy for her, we are aware of the situation but we don't intervene or tell the services that would take her away since She hasn't gotten into any trouble with them but well a stallion in a herd with a foal that isn't their own isn't well taken and the services would pull her away from ponyville and her friends" Celestia replied with a hint of sadness but William his facial expression was pure rage
"Why didn't anypony adopt her I mean she is just a kid and a good one too sure she is active and might get into small trouble with her friends but that is no excuse for this" William replied angry as his anger caused his wings feathers to flare up slightly but not to much as if instinctively not wanting to disturb Scootaloo who is laying wrapped in them.
Celestia looks at William and smiles but then sighs as she remembers he hasn't seen much of Equestria and has a lot to learn "because she is a filly not a little colt her chance for adoption is very low especially at her age, in Equestria the mare to stallion ratio is 7 mares to 1 stallion and since stallion's hardly accept adopted foals from her age it's unlikely for her to get a good home. It is a sad truth" Celestia replied to William with a lot of compassion in her voice
"I call bullshit , sorry for these harsh words Tia but age and gender shouldn't matter one bucking bit , you care for people ....ponies for their personality nothing more or less, everypony who doesn't can burn in Tartarus by my standards. And to those instinct driven stallions just because the foal ain't theirs well let's just say I'd wanna give them a trip to the dentist" William replied causing Celestia ,Luna and Rd to look at William in a mixture of shock and happiness
"Well for a stallion thou aren't scared to voice thour believes in words quite vulgar but thine heart is in the right place but thou should keep thine words in check for thine own good" Luna said smiling but her body language still mostly showed shock because of the foul choice of words of the stallion something she isn't used to
"Wow hey William , I find it cool you're no spineless cry baby of a stallion and have mare like qualities but keep cursing to a minimal near the foals or well anypony in general, still if you care so much why not adopt her I mean you might be a strange creature but you've shown you aren't a monster and have intelligence even if you're a stallion who by Equestria's standards had it very bad and rough" Rd asked as she flew near William
"Honestly , I would if I were sure I could give her a good life but well I'm living on things I brought from home have no income or Job here yet and I don't know what ponies eat . If I could give her a home she deserves I would also what's wrong with the swearing?" William replied his voice filled with a mixture of compassion and sadness
"Well my friend , mostly mares work for bits while stallions stay at home and take care of the foals but considering you're not a pony and from a race that we aren't aware of I could give you a position with an income as a Representative of your race as for the swearing my little ponies aren't used to it and I wouldn't want you to be in trouble with the law" Celestia replied smiling whilst stepping closer to William but her tone sounded like that of a overbearing mother
"Nope one that sounds like seeping of your kindness and I'm my own man and I'm not a Representative since I hold no important position amongst my kind , but I do have a counter offer as for the swearing well guess I'll have to learn to adapt" William replied
"Oh your kind haggles too it seems though your actions are a little dated for stallions I'd love to hear your counter offer my friend" Celestia said suprised by William his attempt at haggling
"I'd like to be an advisor of sorts preventing the same mistakes my people made , have a small company on my name and cooperation with a inventor if such a job exists so I can aid Equestria with knowledge of my people though I'm not a genius I do have many books and learned a lot with my hobbies and which to use my people their discoveries that Equestria hasn't made yet to make an income aid Equestria while I learn and adapt to my new home" William replied in a uncertain tone if his counter offer wasn't even a viable counter offer to seeping of Celestia her kindness
William his reply caused the three ponies to have a confused look on their face an a bit of worry
"I'll accept it though its uncommon for a stallion to live alone without a herd or even to follow a career without at least one mare though I'll accept it and as for the location of your home it officially is within Equestrian borders but the Everfree isn't inhabited by many ponies so you shouldn't have mare trouble but I'll ask Twilight and her friends as well as the guard you seem to enjoy the company off to aid you if there is any trouble. As for the inventing and advisor part, I would gladly help you get settled and I'll invest and pay for the paperwork's of your company and pay you for the advisor station immediately but I expect both reports of your adjustments and will put you in the caring hooves of Twilight and her friends for education about Equestria and other things. But your first task as advisor will be tomorrow when a pony who worked on something similar but not as advanced as your metal beast will come , is this a suitable arrangement and of course the adoption of Scootaloo will be handled as well" Celestia replied with a big smile but the tone of her proposal and her stance made it seem more like a demand then a offer.
"I uhm... Don't like the being in care of others part but I don't think you will budge on that will you?" William asked with an expression of defeat written on his face
"Nope" Celestia said with a teasing smile that makes William think of the nickname trollestia
"Alright Tia , we got a deal , oh dear I'm going to need to face pinkie pie then . Oh dear god to much to handle at once" William said in defeat as he shook Tia her hand
"Don't you worry about it, I mean you got the most awesome mares to teach you and take care of you till you can stand on your own hooves" Rd said as she have William a nudge on the shoulder
So many bronies and pegasisters are probably cringing at this development or angry that I honestly want to stand on my own two feet considering the alternative William thought
"Well I better put this little angel with her friends" William said smiling as he took Scoots in his arms and put her in the car near the other cmc and tucked the three young fillies in a blanket whilst smiling
The female black giant dragon from before was looking at William his actions and just smiled before flying off
William tried to get into his car it's driver seat but had issues with his new appendages hitting the steering wheel as he gets inside the car
"That bucking hurt I don't know how you put up with wings" William said irritated
"Just relax and focus on them try to fold them" Rd said as If educating a foal
William tries but it fails miserably only getting his new appendages to spread out stifly out of irritation since he isn't used to having them
"Well that isn't working" William replied sighing as he heads out of his car and took his damaged jacket and looks at Rainbow Dash and the princesses who are trying to hold back their laughter
"RD could you maybe tie them down with my jacket my clothes are already a mess after my little excursion so might as well use the rags for something useful" William said still irritated as he handed Rd his now damaged jacket
Rd just stared at William and did what he asked as she looked at him
"You do know you're going to have to groom them right since they are a bit messy just like your mane" Rd said to William while she tightened the knot to keep his wings down
"I don't know how to groom wings since I never had them also my appearance is the least of my concerns, I mean falling in a old ruin fainting from pain caused by magic puts somepony his priorities in perspective , I still don't understand how I don't have any broken bones or the lack of blood on my clothes only scorch marks i mean falling a unknown length down into a cave should have left me wounded but not a scratch" William replied to Rd
"You fell in a cave" Rd said worried as she flew above him looking down at him
"Oh not just that went through some ruin with strange writing riddles and traps I luckily didn't trigger them all .I saw some skeletal ponies and a demi lich a female which is the dragon her friend , strangely she said our kind when talking about well humanity I don't think a floating skull is considered human and she used a term drifter but I think she ment that she probably was human once but" William said calmly but got interrupted by Rainbow dash
"You fell in a lair of a monster that uses necromancy and eat souls , Twillight and Fluttershy are going to be so angry, and you should be more careful" Rd replied angrily as she flew closer to William his face "I told my friends I'd keep an eye out for you, please be more careful from now on I don't wanna let them down" Rainbow Dash said while flying closer to William
"So it seems thour kind has dabbled in dark magic in the past" Luna said worried but her body language seemed that of dread since she didn't want him to fall to a dark path since Luna herself has caused harm with magic while she was Nightmare Moon
"Well I don't see it as dark I mean she didn't eat my soul and well demi liches don't eat souls they're either those who abandon the psychical plane for studies or just too good to eat souls of others, or atleast That's what they are like in games" William replied calmly "But if it helps you girls sleep at night I'll be carefull"
"Yes as thou says in thine kind their games , thou can't know if it is the same for the real thing so thou must be careful" Luna replied in commanding tone
"Now dear sister , I know it is hard to grasp a being not being corrupted by such magic but our friend has nothing to go on" Celestia said calmly trying to defuse the situation
William just got in his car as the others joined him
"Thou said our world has some of what thine kind saw as myth does thine kind have any myths to back thy claim that thine kind isn't corrupted by the dark arts" Luna asked worried hoping for any positive news to ease her mind
"Well my kind does view necromancy as negative in recent religion in the past it was different and well many other mythical fields of magic have the same viewpoints but it wasn't always like that and from what I think our myths were just the side effects of the last bit of what magic remained in our world or there might still be some weak kept secret I honestly don't know and I'm just guessing and am not going to deepen into that I'll stick with science maybe see if I can recreate a weapon for Scoots and my defence in the Everfree since I'd rather not have to rely on something that hurts me like hell and I don't know anything about" William replied as he drove back
"Why would you need weapons you'll have the most awesome mares looking out for you isn't that enough?" Rd asked irritated as if William didn't think her friends and her were good enough.
William sighed as he continued driving "it's not that I don't like the help you're giving me but well where I'm from males have evolved protecting the female of the species and well our gender roles how I despise status quo of gender stereotypes are still ingrained in my upbringing" William replied
"That sounds so awful how hasn't thee had an episode yet?" Luna asked worryingly putting her hand on William his shoulder
"Well the stallion's of the old time of the three tribes and the pillar's of old weren't as weak as the stallion's now where they" William replied irritated as if he was feeling belittled
"How do you know about equestrian history?" Rd asked as if she was suspicious of William his knowledge about equestria it's past
"Uhm the demi lich told me though not much sadly" William lied acting as if he was down for not being told more
"Thou art correct about thine statement but my sister and we have seen that trait decline together with the the decline of stallion's" Luna replies
"So what males are a rare little thing that should be protected and overly cared for?" William replied with a slight bit of venom in his tone
This caught Luna of guard causing her to seem sad as her ears turn backwards
"My friend I understand your irritation of such differences still such as your culture is ingrained in your upbringing so is it the same for our little ponies , we have been treating you different because of the difference in upbringing but you must learn to adapt as do those who you will interact with" Celestia said sternly like a mother educating their child
"Yeah , I mean when we found your house we noticed you acted strange but talking with you is sometimes like talking to a mare instead of a weak stallion , but you smell like a stallion and we can't just forget how we were raised but it's best to talk about this with my friends I'm sure Twillight would love to hear a lot about these differences" Rd replied trying to make William see their side to calm him down
"Yeah she would " William said laughing nervously hoping Twilight would go all crazy on the subject "Sorry again Girls.. I mean mares it is a lot I didn't think about your side" William said apologetically
"Apology accepted also must have new attire when thou returned thine clothes make thou seem like a maltreated stallion" Luna replied
"Well you could ask Rarity I'm sure she'd love to make you some new clothes and study your kind their Fashion" Rd replied
"Hmm maybe she can work one of the demi lich her gifts into a cane or wand or maybe detachable wand in a cane" William said thinking out loud
"Thou have gotten gifts of such a monster?" Luna asked worried as she looks at her sister to intervene.
"Hmm yes a crystal to focus magic like unicorns do with a horn and a few books still She probably is something of a bygone era of my kind so it's good to have the material to study to learn more but I'd rather just use science and my kinds knowledge but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy reading and well maybe I can learn why my body adapts the way it does and mutates because of the magic and yes I just called these bloody wings a mutation" William replied
"Hey! Don't you understand how lucky you are , you can now learn how to fly and maybe even walk on clouds" Rd replied
"I know its just to much happening at once I mean it's not that I hate it Dashie just well humans of my time aren't used to having wings nor magic or voices in their head, well we better get going back princess's could you maybe put your previous disguises on not for the point of disguising but more for well not making everypony look confused when we arive " William said nervously
"Thou doesn't wished to be seen with royalty?" Luna asked confused
"I already have a lot of attention coming my way being probably the only one of my kind and seeing I'll be in the care of ponies that have ties to you and your sister , add Pinkie probably will plan a party and Twillight will be too keen to study my kind , let's just say the only place I'll probably find peace is with Fluttershy or at my home but I probably won't find a lot of it so just give me the enjoyment of a little joke on Twi you can tell her tomorrow" William replied smiling as he drove to Sweet Apple acre's
Later at Sweet Apple acre's
A nervous Twilight could be seen trotting in circles.
"What if something happened! What if somepony pony napped him or they had a accident with the metal contraption or of he became sick because of high amounts of ambient magic!" Twilight said while nervously trotting before being stopped by AJ
"Don't ya worry Twi, Rainbow and those two other mares are with him , I'm sure they are doing doing well" Apple Jack said while putting her hand comfortingly on Twilight her shoulder.
"Yes darling no need to worry if something would happen I'm sure Rainbow and those two mares kept the strange Stallion safe" Rarity said smiling
"Or maybe their metal monster ate them, I won't be able to sing my welcome song , and no welcome to Equestria party and not even a welcome to ponyville party" Said Pinkie Pie while shaking Twilight wildly
"It will be alright Sugar cube just try to remain calm the stallion can't handle alot " Aj replied to Pinkie
"Oki doki Loki" Pinkie said smiling at Aj
At that time the engine of the car could be heard heading to sweet Apple Acre's
"Eep the metal monster wants to eat us!" Pinkie shouted jumping away in her silly antics as it drove to the ponies
William stepped out and let out the foals and the disguised princesses and then he heads towards the other ponies to be interrupted by a pink blur to come in front of him without a warning
Pinkie pulled a musical cart out of nowhere and she started to sing
"Welcome welcome welcome
A fine welcome to you
Welcome welcome welcome
I say how do you do?
Welcome welcome welcome
I say hip hip hurray
Welcome welcome welcome
To Ponyville today"" She sang bouncing around playing instruments like crazy only to look at William at the end
"Wait for it!" Was the last thing Pinkie pie said before William the small oven in her cart to open and shoot a chocolate cake at him causing William only to laugh
"Are you alright darling , I'm sorry we told her to be calm darling" Rarity said apologetically
"It's alright it isn't as bad as expected and chocolate is my favourite" William said smiling eating pieces of the chocolate cake shot at him as the foals laughed
"Darling don't worry I'll take you to the spa though what happened to your beautiful garments and how did you get wings" Rarity asked looking at William his damaged and now chocolate brown stained clothes with a worried expression
"Well it's complicated " William replied nervously
"I knew it I shouldn't have let you go out on a trip who knows what the princesses would say , I was supposed to make sure your taken care off" Twilight said worryingly causing Celestia and Luna who were disguised again to laugh, Rainbow Dash was about to tell something but Celestia have her and the crusaders a wink before leaving
"I'm pretty sure the princesses wouldn't mind" William said laughing while trying to calm Twilight
"What happened partner?" Aj asked
William was about to explain the situation but before he could speak Pinkie Pie interrupted him
"Did you during your trip meet a dragon who knows of your kind ,first being very angry but then got along with you sending you to a creepy weepy cave with a ruin with puzzles and traps ending with a creepy monster that you think once was like you who knows more about your kinds past then you do and have you some gifts after a little conversation" Pinkie pie said very fast and in a high tone
William just looked at Pinkie and calmly asked"How do you know that?"
"Just a hunch" Pinkie said cheerfully
William just looks utterly confused "I'm not even going to try and understand" he said with the most dumbfounded and confused face in a tone that just says I am not even opening that can of worms
Twilight rushed to William to check on him touching his new appendages his damaged clothes looking if he was hurt
"I got to make notes of the changes you are going through who knows what might be going on inside your body I should have taken a sample before this trip to research , tell me how you are feeling?" Twilight said eager to monitor William his state
"I grew wings, fainted from that and ambient magic and feel stiff all over I'm pretty sure the worst is behind me" William replied to twilight in confusion
"Well darling if you are that sore I could take you to the spa and get your wings and mane taken care off after taking you measurements so I can make you something better to wear since your little trip did do a number on your clothes and your mane" Rarity offered in a way that sounded more like a pushy order
"Sweet Celestia , it's not that I don't like the offer but I have clothes at home, no offence Rarity but I just got back from something rather strange for me" William replied as he sighed in irritation
"I understand darling that you want to be your own stallion but it's also better for you seeing that pinkie pie ran off after you got so confused by her antics and we can't have our reputation ruined as the mares that leave a stallion in such a sorry state" Rarity replied trying to convince William
"He already had so much ambient magic exposure there can be dangerous side effects and we need to monitor him without an internal flow of magic being able to come out except in mutations it could harm him a lot or even kill him" Twilight said worryingly
"Well if Rarity could put a stone that monster have me in a cane or wand I could should be able to focus magic through it and it could prevent the fearful of well to much magic destroying me on the inside theory twilight has" William replied
"I don't do cane's darling but I could put your stone into well maybe a small accessory like a ring" Rarity replied
"You are just going to trust a gift a monster have you!" Twilight shouted in shock
"Well then why don't you research it first just be sure to give it back , and Rarity that spa plan sounds good right now since I'm a little relaxation sounds good" William replied before handing Twilight the gem given to him by the demi Lich before locking his car and walking away from Twilight
"What's with that stubborn stallion?" Twilight asked confused
"Sugar cube I think ye are treating the stallion to much like a foal" Aj replied
"But he is in unknown world and he looks like that and he had so much negative effects from magic and he acts like a mare toughening it out" Twi replied in irritation
"Well he aint some weak foal Twi, and he told us on the trip where he is from stallions of his race are ment to be the strong type and now you made him feel bad by treating him like a little foal" Rd said to Twilight causing Twilight to look worried about her blunder with the to pony kind unknown creature
"Don't worry Darling I'm sure he won't hold it against you , he was a gentle colt to us in his house , I'll go and get him a good treatment, grooming and make some clothes and afterwards I'm sure he'll be cooled down" Rarity rushed to William who was already walking to ponyville
William noticed the mashmellow white mare and waited a bit "Sorry for running off like that but this wall flower baby handling kind of treatment gets on my nerves" William replied
"Well at least you don't have an episode and break down like most stallions.
So why don't we get you looking swell maybe remove that facial hair and cut your mane darling since it doesn't suit you after the spa treatment of course you look rather tense darling" Rarity said while trotting next to William
"Tense my entire body feels stiff because of ambient magic and don't get me started on the wings they feel like lead" William said while he continued walking but as he entered ponyville a strange mare went to him
"Well isn't that all sad a bad treated stallion don't worry , I'll keep you safe" the mare said only getting a glare from William
"No need , my friends and I were ordered by the princesses to take care of him" Rarity replied slightly irritated before walking ahead William followed her before being grabbed by the strange made
William just pulled his arm away from the mare and look at her "Now I don't mean to be rude but can you leave me be Amethyst Star since I have places to be" William replied causing the mare to be confused since she didn't introduce her self . William just continued to follow Rarity to the ponyville spa
"Darling using your strange piece's of knowledge of a few small things is rather confusing to some ponies so please keep it low" Rarity asked
"Don't worry Rarity I don't know every pony I just know a few things" William followed Rarity into the ponyville spa as he noticed Rarity greet Aloe
"Aloe a complete relaxation packet for two including wing massage, hooficure and complete massage please" Rarity said happily
Aloe smiled "Is it for that poor stressed" Rarity interrupted Aloe
"No offense darling but you can treat him like one of the mares he comes from a species where stallions aren't well that sheltered" Rarity said to Aloe causing Aloe to look at William with compassion
"I thought he was a strange sort of Minotaur or something like that don't worry Sir we will make you feel better now do you need help getting undressed since most of the treatment is without well clothes" Aloe said nervously
"Wait not even a towel around my waste to cover my well" William asked blushing like an idiot as his wings poofed up stiffly
"Is that abnormal where you come from darling?" Rarity asked confused at William
"Well you ponies have fur and sometimes clothing but I don't and well my kind don't have a sheath" he said blushing like a idiot the mares also blushed hearing that
Rarity just stood there blushing when she heard what was William said
"Don't worry sir you and your bathing suit will be kept a secret as for the treatments whilst moving around we will give you a towel to cover yourself up and maybe you can hide your embarrassment more because your wings are stiff" Aloe said teasingly causing William to blush like a tomato
"Please don't point it out" William just rushed into a changing room to take of his clothes and took a towel to cover his private parts
"Aloe darling did you have to tease him?" Rarity asked Aloe
"I'm sorry I couldn't help myself , he looks strange but exotic and it's kind of a cute response " Aloe replied smiling and giggling
"Darling don't tease him to much he isn't from Equis ,the poor stallion got dragged from his own world and life and isn't used to our social norms and doesn't know social cues of us mares either though it was cute to see him blush" Rarity said giggling before also getting ready for her treatment but the giggling of the two mares
William and Rarity came out of the changing rooms at the same time and got massaged
"Your muscles are very tense what has gotten you that sore and stiff?" Lotus asked William while massaging his shoulders
"Magic believe it or not my body isn't used to it its causing all sort of strange stuff muscle growth , growth of wings but the worse is the well negative effects" William replied but as the spa pony started to massage his back he let out a moan"Ooh that feels good"
"Enjoying yourself darling?" Rarity asked while another spa employed was massaging her
"Yes first time to a spa but it feels like all my problems are being kneaded out of me , I'm happy I came normally things like massage's aren't my style but I was used to well giving it to my well girlfriend when I had one" William calmly said to the marshmallow mare who know was also in bliss from a good pampering massage
"Oh my sorry for such a display darling and that sounds wonderful you really are a gentle colt then" Rarity said blushing after some small outbursts
"Don't worry Rarity and no not really just well be myself and wanted to spoil those I care for really" Lotus started to massage William his wings which were not in the best state "Oooh , that feels very good" William let out loudly during his wing massage to the point he moved them out of extacy
"I wonder how you even moved around at all being so tense Mister William , your muscles both wings and body felt tense as can be" Lotus replied trying not to blush while her costumer felt like he was walking on cloud nine
"Darling please try and keep your voice down or the mares will think you're getting another sort of treatment" Rarity said teasingly
William out of embarrassment had a wing issue causing Rarity and Lotus to blush but luckily William remembered rainbow his advice and tried to relax causing him to fold them naturally
"Not a word neither of you I'm not used to the damn things" William said before hiding his on the massage table he layed on
"Don't worry Darling it happens a lot either when a pegasus is surprised embarrassed or well I'll leave that one to the others to explain" Rarity said while stretching as her massage was done
William was also done so the both of them went into a small treatment area William could smell the beauty products in the air and wanted to dart to something simpler like the sauna but Rarity stopped him "Darling you really should join me they do good facemasks and styling of manes and wings which you will utterly adore"
William just sighed at Rarity "Well I can't split up from you since this was your idea so fine I'll try but no colouring my hair I like my natural black colour" he replied as he followed Rarity inside as he was met with the stares of a lot of different ponies
"Rarity I'm not sure If the staring because the towel or because of my hair and wings" William asked nervously
"Don't worry darling they probably think your legs and appearance are weird and well your mane and wings do need a lot of work " Rarity replied as she sat down as somepony who worked at the spa came to her she whispered something in their ear
William quickly was guided to a chair next to Rarity as he quickly lost himself as they starting treating his hair when William came to his senses he had a face mask on but he felt different , William looked around but couldn't see Rarity
"Sorry but how long did I dose off for" William asked to the spa pony who was still there
"Just a hour sir your friend told us how to treat you though her request was a bit odd" the pony replied
"Odd how?" William asked confused
"Well Rarity asked us while you were so entranced in the treatment for your hair and grooming of your wings to also make sure your more presentable, quite a head mare you got there" the spa pony said smiling
"Head mare? No she is just a friend wait what do you mean with presentable" William looked into a nearby mirror and saw he had a face mask on but his hair seemed to be cut and he didn't see any hairs come through the face mask "She shaved me , Oh I'm going to have a decent talk with that mare" William said angrily
"Now now calm down it was really needed and we did our best to make you look as good as possible" the spa pony replied while William took of his face mask and felt his face staring at himself in the mirror actually being impressed by the handy work as his hairstyle which he recognised as the pompadour hairstyle from earth did suit him and how smooth his skin looked not to mention how soft it felt as he brushed his fingers over it
"Well I'm impressed though its sad that I have such a baby face but luckily no humans means no guessing at my age I suppose but I honestly like it" William said smiling to the mare near him
"We also thought it would fit better though I would have coloured it since it being black isn't well as cute as it can be for a stallion but it looks strapping and well basic wing care also went well you were moaning in bliss at the wing massage and the oil treatment your strange hoof bits also had some treatment though it looked sensitive so we used a small vile " the mare replied smiling as William got up and felt his wings for the first time since coming to Equestria he didn't feel stiff and sore and the fluffy soft wing which are still weird for him did have a charm without the dust and messy state they were in the colour of it could be seen as a majestic white
"Yes I feel actually never felt better then now , so where did Rarity go to?" William asked the spa pony
"Well after her face pampering she left you in our care she did take your measurement and the rags you came in with and left" the pony replied
"Wait she took my clothes! Sweet Celestia" William shouted as he noticed Aloe walking in
"Mister William , could you follow us please miss Rarity has brought your new attire" Aloe said to William gesturing him to the changing room
"Well that was quick ,I understand she is the element of generosity but That's a bit to much" William said as he walked in the changing room and noticed what seemed like a black suite and white shirt "Hmm not bad at least it isn't multi colour eyesores or dresses" he said thanking god he isn't going to look like a multi colour nightmare before putting on the pants but then he had a small issue "Blasted wings , how do you put them through those holes" when William said this twilight came inside with the gem he had given her to run tests on to calm her fears
"Is everything ok?" Twilight asked nervously looking at William seeing twilight in the stallion/men changing room made him jump "Jeez Twi a knock would have been nice" William replied
"I'm sorry your just taking so long also I got a letter from the princesses they said me and my friends will be in charge for your well-being but also stated to treat you like a stallion of old and help you adapt "This conversation made William roll his eyes " Why don't I help you with that shirt" Twi used magic to help William get his shirt and the suit its jacket on she noticed magic still softly dissipated into the human but not at an alarming spell disabling way
"Thanks Twi" William replied to being helped with his clothes "it's nothing that's what friends are for and you probably have issues with new appendages" William laughed at Twi her comment "Yes they are a bit of a pain to get used to so how were your tests on the gem" William asked hoping to change the subject since he didn't like being unable to put on his clothes without help which is very embarrassing
"I've finished test on it , it seems like a magic conduit to let magic flow outwards in a concentrated manner like unicorn horns but everypony has a different way of storing magic , unicorns storing it in a well specialised organ , earth ponies storing it in their muscles and pegasi storing it in their wings but from my test on it I honestly can't see how you can use it since your body seems to store magic differently" Twi replied
"And how would you know how my body stores magic?" William asked confused
"Well I might have taken a hair from your little treatment here and one that was in your house when you weren't looking it seems your body itself can store magical energy anywhere inside itself but none to the amounts needed to cast magic this is the same reason why a earth pony if they would have that gem you have I though maybe a more direct testing would be needed" Twi said William just stretches his arms and wings "yeah not feeling like being a test subject Twi also I got no ideas really, I mean I might have an idea but I'll sound like a mad pony" William replied as he walked past twilight out of the changing room
"What do you mean you'll seem like a mad pony?" Twilight asked following him "Well I've had this voice in my head and some unknown terms thrown my way by the monster I met , not like I can say hey voice in my head explain my own limitations in magic and how that gem works" William replied laughing nervously this caused twilight to be worried about any negative side effect of magic on William so she used a simple medical spell to check William his mental health
"She is persistent and did you really have to mock my existence" the familiar unknown voice echoed within William his head but because of the spell of twilight she heard it aswell and took a step back
"Who ... What was that?" Twilight asked confused and slightly frightened "Don't ask me I've been hearing her since I came to Equis and it is her who seems to know more then me about magic and my kind"
William replied softly to not cause a scene
"I'm not a what but a who and to answer your previous question from Twilight the human stomach and intestines double as the organ to store magic in our original home where there was hardly any magic we had to work with small weak forms of communication to warn our human that being gut feelings, but I can say I'm happy William is adapting well to the amounts of ambient magic even started to passively create his own thanks to the monster that William keeps thinking of keeping the race it was secret from you because he doesn't want to be treated like a foal which in all due respect he is when it comes to magic" the familiar unknown voice echoed within William his head
Twilight and William should there just shocked
"Yeah I'm just going to ignore this , I mean Thats the biggest conversation we ever had and it's still insulting" William replied
"Well it could be because your body is adapting and it is helping it, not to mention how crazy this is I wanna research it" Twilight said with a big grin
"Yeah no, last time I grew wings , wings Twilight , I have no interest into poking and bugging the strange voice" William replied annoyed which made Twilight stop her spell since she didn't want to make the strange man even more annoyed like before
"I agree with you for once William, I have to much to do making sure your body itself has good flow of magic this is like fixing a never maintained pipeline , and I have to much trouble coming through to you though the massages and treatment helped slightly" the unknown voice said fading out
"Did it say something again?" Twi asked
"Yes basically work work work hardly can talk to you oh an fixing magical flow inside my body whatever that means" William replied as he pur on his shoes and continued walking out of the spa
"Ooh Thats simple , every being has magic in their body and it needs to flow through it say if a unicorn has used a very powerful spell they get exhausted because magic in their body which normally flows through it mildly supporting it is disrupted to the intensity of magic usage causing exhaustion" Twilight explained
"So its like stamina or something but then a strange energy that flows through someone if I understand it correctly" William tried guessing to understand it
"Well not strange its a natural force and the magical flow inside a creature is basically how magic goes through it, say if somepony were to interrupt the magical flow of a pegasus causing them to be unable to interact with passive magic in Equis its atmosphere" Twi got interrupted by William "it would cause them to fall through clouds and have issues flying" William said unsure
"Wow you learn quick well yes but it also works other ways say high emotional stimuli can cause rampant magic release or build up" Twilight replied enjoying teaching her new friend
"OK so emotions affect it got it , well I'd rather just really on what I'm familiar with" William replied causing Twi to frown a little as they left the spa but as they left the spa they noticed Rarity
"Sorry for leaving you darling , I do hope I didn't went to far you looked like you needed the little pampering " Rarity said as she noticed William look at her
"It actually was pretty nice also I love the new clothes though next time give me a warning won't you" William replied smiling "of course darling and I see you and Twi are getting along" Rarity said looking at Twi
"Well we had a fun interaction and well I guess I shouldn't be mad from before but well tense muscles and pain and irritation plus pampering like a foal just got me a little on edge but no harm done" William said smiling "but I must say I love the attire you made Rarity it really is lovely"
"Ooh thank you darling it was a bit different then my other work but I thought it would fit you perfectly and it's nothing special to help a friend" Rarity said modestly
"Well it is special to me though I feel like a freeloading bum since you did so much" William said looking down
"Don't be like that darling it was nothing " Rarity hugged William
"Well for me it isn't nothing because well most humans are out for themselves but I guess I shouldn't give social commentary on a species I won't see again but I will start working tomorrow so I will treat you with something back Rarity" William replied smiling as he walked through town while Twi was taking notes on what William just said
"Why don't we go around ponyville it might be good for you to learn through seeing Equestrian culture " Twilight offered
"Well I'd love to but Twi could you maybe prepare some equestrian history books for me oh and maybe books showing how far Equestria is technological and magic wise" William asked twilight
"Ooh I'm going to have to plan lessons maybe ask Cheerlie for some advice , well why don't you two have fun while I prepare your education" twilight said before teleporting away
Author's Note
I have risen anyway sorry for the wait also sorry if this chapter is too big , I've had a lot of ideas how to do this chapter redoing different scenarios but I'm happy with how it turned out and expect more in the future also for the clop aspect of tag as I stated before since I got some whispers from some readers i let such things come naturally so it will take time before we get there I just preemptively added that tag since it is planned
I edited some previous chapters fixing some mistakes.
I sadly have had no word of those who offered to proof read or help me edit my story add work on top of that , I hope everypony understands it caused a delay in the story if anypony really wants to help with the story or help correct my mistakes or give me hints That would be very nice also I've noticed at my return a little bit of fighting in the comments and well I'll simply say I'm happy I'm being corrected.
I'm very sorry that some dropped out because of the errors I made but I understand and no I don't think anypony is bad for pointing out the mistakes I make nor dropping the story because of it , and I value the input given by everypony , I hope I'll improve and maybe find help , though its possible I'll probably rewrite it all if need be anyway thanks everypony who does enjoy it and who gives constructive criticism.
Anyway later everypony![]()
