It had been a rough road ahead, me and my escort had travelled far for 8 days, just like Celestia said it would take. While on the journey we were ambushed by bandits which looked like mostly minotaurs, griffons, and a few ponies, but we wiped them out to continued down the road with a few injured. I was on my iPhone to see other military tactics to use in case of ongoing battles and wars, I saw King Henry the V, the person that killed the code of chivalry. It says here that henry broke the knight's code to insure his victory over the French during the 100 year war centuries ago, it also says he fought a battle where he was nearly outnumbered 3 to 1 with just 1,000 knights, and 5,000 peasant archers. His own way to fighting in the end paid off, its like they say 'alls fair at love and war', and after the battle the king died during his mid 30's what a way to go.

"Um Chris when do we arrive? I so bored." Honey comb complained as she was stretching her arms and legs.

"Will be there in three hours from now." I said checking my iPhone for the clock, and it was 5 o'clock sharp. "So before we arrive do you wanna talk about your tribe?"

"Ok, when I was a little filly I was always so careless with my surroundings, my father the chief would scold me for breaking a few things by accident, but he is usually understand as all fathers should to their sons and daughters. My mother always with me to insure my safety cause young colts would try to hit on me cause I'm next to run the tribe figuring they could sneak in by impressing me. I hated every single one of them cause I wanted someone to love me for me, and not for my statues, wealth, or good looks, just plain old me and nothing more. One day while I was 16 my father got really sick, I hoped he would be ok and then he died surely after 3 days later it was awful. After his death the tribe turns to both me and my mother, we lead the tribe as best we could even through Zeku's rule, but then suddenly my mother said she had to go somewhere. It had been years since I saw her I don't know if she is alive or dead, I kept leading my people, but somewhere along the line we had both bad harvests, and increase demands by the nobles we were powerless to stop them. I tried to persuade them, but it was too late, and as you know since the day we first met, they were burning our village and taking us as their slaves to meet their demands. It was great we met that day Chris, I want to stay with you for as long as I live, and I will give you information on the national leaders at the meeting too."

"Thanks, and I glad to meet you as well."

3 hours later at the Castle of Canterlot
Celestia's POV

"Where are those guards? Our new neighboring nation's King is gonna be here in 5 minutes" I asked with great worry as I paced around, just then my sister appeared.

"What is wrong dear sister, is everything alright?" Luna asked with concern.

"I'm fine luna just trying to prepare for our new guest's arrival here, and allying ourselves with a new zebra king." I said with a hint of excitement in my voice.

"A new king is coming here?" luna asked with a shock expression.

"Yes but not just a new king, this king stood up to the old and saved others from the old one's rule, and he is not a zebra at all. Others spoke that he is a human."

"Your right sister we have to prepare his seat, what do you think silver or gold?" she asked while hurrying.

"Better go with gold sister, we want him to feel proud of his noble deeds to his nation."

"Why not silver are you saying my color choice is poor for our new guest?" luna asked in annoyance.

"You know my color choice is always better and you know it." I repelled back in a teasing tone trying to provoke her.

"I bet you he will sit in my chair." luna said with confidence.

"I bet you he would sit in MY chair." I said while puffing out my chest proudly.

We were having a sibling rivalry, until a guard from my sister's army walked in while saluting us in honor.

"Your majesties, our guests have arrived, including our new guest as well." The guard said, and we stopped our little war to greet to new guest.

Chris' POV

We have arrived at the castle, it was a glorious place. It had chandeliers hanging up on the ceilings, there were nobles both young and old dressed in fancy, and there were other species with the same type of outfits too. As so as I stepped in, everyone was staring at me, honey comb, and my own royal guards armed with short spears and iron swords. I saw a fancy mare dressing in black with blue highlights, and another mare wearing a mink fur coat with a large hat.

"Who and what is that wretched thing doing here, and wearing good clothes that clearly don't belong to an ape?" one of the noble mares asked very rude like.

"Yeah, what is he?" another one asked as they both kept their distance from me, and watching me carefully.

I ignore them to make my way over to the food area cause why not? After all parties are about filling you up, and not giving a crap about anything else. However I was interrupted by a guard calling out to the audience to get their attention, and stood beside him are two horse like creatures with wings, and horns. One of them is tall white and in a sparkly white/gold dress, and the other was shorter than the other except she had dark blue/silver sparkly of near equal standards.

"I present their majesties Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna of Canterlot." the guard spoke, and a round of applause was given to show my respect I clapped with them.

"Greetings to you all my little ponies." The tall one spoke up in a proud tone. "It is great to hold another grand galloping gala once again to you all, it is with great pride to tell you all why this one is special out of all the other ones so far." she said causing everyone around me to give each other confusing looks as to ask why is it special to begin with. "I have invited a special guest here tonight not only to join us here, but to also welcome both him, and ourselves a new forge of alliance between our kingdoms to establish peace amongst us, may he present himself to me at once." she commanded while looking around of course she is talking about me. So I did what I was told and was walking right at them until I was stopped by a group of guards armed with steel spears at the ready with defensive looks on their faces.

"Halt creature! What are you doing here?" the guard said causing everyone to look at me while also shocked to see me.

"I believe your princesses are calling for me." I said making my statement.

"Preposterous! The princesses would never invite filth like you in our land." he said causing the tall alicorn to get mad.

"Guards! Put away your weapons at once!" she ordered her guards.

"But princess, this creature shouldn't even be here, he is not suppose to show up."

"He is the new guest I have invited and you dare threaten him, and insulted him is unforgiveable, I should have your stripes for this." she said making her guards lower there weapons and left with great shame. "I'm so sorry my guards are always over protective of my well being, my name is princess celestia whats yours?" she asked.

"My name is King Chris the first of the new zebraic empire, and I am a human." I said making everyone around me gasp in shock of what I said to them even celestia was impressed. "I also believe that after the gala there will be a national meeting later?"

"That's correct my friend, and please help yourself to our beverages while the gala is going on." she said while offering me a glass of their fine wine 'no pun intended'. The gala went on for hours nobles talking to me, asking about my accomplishments as king. The mares in dresses came to me with great interest in their eyes, one of them spoke out.

"Its an honor to be in the presents of a new king of a nation." a mare in pink said bowing before me. "Care to dance with me? I be more than willing to take a chance if you want."

"Well I'm not much of a dancer, and besides I have to meet with celestia after the gala can't afford to mess up." I said trying to walk away, but the mare stopped me in my tracks.

"Don't worry about that old hag, I will teach you as you hold me 'real close.'" she said as she circled her arms around me so quick I couldn't react fast enough. "And besides I always dreamed of dancing with a king in my arms." she finished her sentence as now I was dancing with her unwillingly. 'Oh no' I thought to myself 'this mare is one of those types of mares that do what they want with no consequence, and after the dance she will probably try to sneak us away to try something funny'. I got to get out of this so pulled out my iPhone to make a sound, a sound of princess celestia herself.

"Young lady let go of my new guest immediately!" my iPhone spoke causing the mare to let me go, and turn around quickly seeing if celestia herself was watching. But to her surprise celestia wasn't there at all, after that she turned to face me I was gone leaving her there fuming mad she lost her prize. I was outside where the more fancy types are in the gardens, fountains, and well paved stone carved tale floors very interesting. Just as I was looking around to see the nice looking structures to this place, if I didn't know any better this could of been the work of the Greeks, and somehow these ponies were able to learn our ways at first. I was interrupted as I bumped into a unicorn stallion with a black mane tuxedo type outfit, and family crest on his bow tie which looks like magic sword on it. "Oh sorry sir my bad." I apologized as I offered my hand to shake with his. He looked at me with shock and smiled while grabbing my hand to shake with his.

"Its a pleasure to meet you our new found ally, welcome to the proud city of canterlot castle!" the unicorns said as he offered me his card with a note from princess celestia on it says 'warning' on it. "My name is Coal Dealer, proud owner of 'Deal inc' I run coal shipments to not just equestria, but to other nations across the land. I'm so rich that I could over run any company within a thousand miles from here." He said while laughing in amusement which puzzled me greatly so I asked. "Why are you treating me as an equal, you don't even know me." I said which stopped his laughing and talked more causally.

"I only doing what is in my nature my friend-oops my bad my 'king'. I want start business with you considering my doors are open to diplomacy, and trade routes between our kingdoms. I also gave you this letter to watch for a certain somepony that might right to ruin you." Coal dealer said as I looked at it again.

"Who is this somepony?" I asked him.

"You'll see, and another warning, watch out for a member called king dainn he is one brute you do not want to cross. Anyways my personal merchants will be on there way to your empire as soon as you sign here my loyal kingship." he said as he summoned a contract paper. I needed coal so I signed, and after that he left while saying pleasure doing business with you. Wow he sounds almost like Alastor from that Hazbin Hotel series coming up I really like to watch it. I then turned my attention to the letter, I opened it to read what is says, and this is what celestia wants from me.

Dear Chris
During the meeting you be introduce to equestria's leaders from far and wide. The members of this meeting are you may or may not expect, and watch out for my nephew Prince Blueblood, he is a spoiled child with hatred towards outsiders including other species not unicorn. He is a unicorn with a blonde mane wearing a fancy with suit, and most likely try to set you up so be careful.

Signed Celestia

Ok now things got tense fast, and at the meeting no less, but as king I have to do this for the zebras back home.

10:00 p.m. after the gala

Now the meeting should start any time now, to be honest I'm both nerves, and excited at the same time. Just then a guard mare came out in gold armor standing attention. "Please come in, the members of the meeting are waiting for you, and I really like your cape king Chris." she said as she smiled with delight as she escorted me in. As I got in there were 5 creatures sitting in the room along with celestia, and luna. First I saw was a griffon with a royal robe like my, but it was red like blood. He wore a crown which looks like it was modified over the decades, he had a scar on his right eye, and looked like he was 45 years old from my guess. Then there was a bug like creature with antlers like a deer, but it was more pony like than insect like, he also looks to be a king as well. Right next to him was a female dragon in gold armor while holding a staff which looks like dragons holding a crystal of power. Next was a caribou shaped male wearing heavy leather armor with thick leather straps around him, and he had a mean look as soon as I walked in. I also saw a huge minotaur with thick heavy steel armor, while wearing a crown made of bones which looks threating, and armed with a large two-handed battle axe on his back so that's it. Just before we got started 4 more figures came in 2 were unicorns, and 2 were alicorns as well. One of the alicorns was young in their early 20's, and so was the slightly taller pink one, while the purple one looked like she wanted to pounce on me. As for the 2 unicorns, one of them wore purple armor with a blue mane, and the other was blonde, wearing a suit, so this is blueblood fancy. All of us were here and they took a seat expect for me, I didn't know where to sit, but I heard celestia speak.

"If you want there is a golden and silver chair right next to King Iron Hoof, and Dragon Lord Ember." she said pointed to the chairs right next to the leaders, but before that Honey comb came in just as I sat in the silver chair, and offered her the golden one instead. After that celestia looked a luna with jealousy in her eyes as luna smirked with triumph beating her older sister. We all are now ready for the meeting to begin, while before that the members of the room looked at me with curiosity thinking what am I, just now celestia spoke out to the others.

"Thank you all for coming it is yet another great meeting to sort out our differences, by discussing them here to bring harmony to our world. I like to introduce a new member of this meeting, may I present to you King Chris the first new king of the zebras." she raised her glass to offer a toast to me in my honor, and so did a few more, but the rest stayed silent.

"We have much to talk about, how is your new kingdom is their any needs want us to deliver? Or maybe you need food then say no more, I will provide you the best apples of any kind to take back with you." celestia offered.

"Why yes I would like some, but I mostly need lumber, coal, iron ore, and things to make gold with." I said to them.

"And what do we get out of your end of the bargain?" spoke the griffon with a cranky sort of tone with mistrust in his voice.

"Well, I could offer you weapons that you never seen before like the short thrusting spear, and the recourses of spice and clay bricks." I said showing them what I mean. "Also military access to learn unused war tactics, and my best warrior's training methods as double insurance to make a small militia in an elite fighting force." This shocked everyone in the room, as they stared at me in awe, and discomfort.

"How absurd!" spoke blueblood causing everyone to stare at him. He looked displeased with my offer. "How could you possibly train a bunch of squabbling striped freaks to fight off a king's army?" This caused honey to be angry. "He is a much better commander on the battlefield than what you can do, I like to see you slice down 80% of that tyrant's army with a hundred and twenty-three men against one-thousand! She said causing blueblood to snap as well. "How dare you-" "That is enough blueblood!" Now this time Celestia spoke out with an motherly tone. "He is our guest of honor and a new member of this national meeting, show some respect!" and after that he sat back down, and so did honey.

Just then the pink alicorn decided to have a word. "I have a question for you king Chris." I faced her speaking. "Yes what is it?" I asked "Your the one that supported, and lead the rebellion against zeku, Is that right?" My word spreads fast in this world, so theres no point in lying. "Yes, I saw the trouble honey's village was in so I stepped in to help, and because of that I engaged in a fight which at first I lost. I was almost executed, but was freed by a elephant chief that supported our cause, and thanks to him and his warriors we put the tyrant king down for good. And after that honey here offered me the position of king so I accepted the role. My first decree was to end slavery at zebraic, and to start rebuilding to spread peace and trade routes to get our kingdom running by itself again." I finished my story which caused quite a stir in the room.

"I with give you my finest iron ores!" Ember said while raising her hand in election. "I will give you our greatest coal we somehow found in our underground colony!" spoke the green antler bug pony. "Me, luna, cadance, and twilight sparkle will give you our best crops seeds to grow your food." Celestia said while the others spoke out in disbelief.

"ABSOLUTY NOT!" yelled Iron Hoof "I agree with king iron hoof!" said dainn with complete mistrust. "I will not trade with this animal! Get him out of here aunty!" shouted blueblood with his arms crossed. "I also will not trade with this creature, and risk my griffons for this false king!" the griffon said while pointing at me with anger in his eyes. "THAT IS ENOUGH, ALL OF YOU!" Celestia yelled in a louder tone. "I can't believe most of you won't support a king in his dying kingdom, this meeting was suppose to bring us closer together, and he was willing to give us something in exchange at least. I for one support him no matter what, and he is something we never seen before, he could help us with our own problems." she then turned to blueblood with a sour look. "You don't make the call here blueblood I do, and hes not going anywhere and neither are you. I for one want to make peace with his kingdom even if he is a new species, but its no reason to shut him out because he might be somepony we need." Just then the griffon sat down. "I take back what I said, I will open up trade routes to zebraic immediately after the meeting." he said while looking at me with a apologetic look on his face. "Don't worry I forgive you uhh-" I asked but he finished for me "King Razorbeak" and that answered my question.

"But still thanks to him, my precious property is gone, and I hate losing whats my!" spoke out king dainn "I still won't trade with him not after what he did." After I what he said we talked it out for an hour, and at last it was over. Blueblood looked at me with disgust while walking away, and dainn bummed me on purpose as he said. "Watch out boy, cause you took away what was my, and my ally zeku." after that he walked away, and iron hoof showed up with hate as well. "You made an enemy out of the caribou, hope to Faust they don't target us first or they won't be the only ones you will be fighting."

Yup, this is turning into a real life game of thrones right here, I made both friends, and enemies that hate/like my choices. I hope things will work out with the empire back home.

Author's Note

Yeah I know I decided to add a little more to the story so let me know what you guys think in the comments below. In the mean time I will study warfare of other cultures some which were simpy designs, and ones we made today. So enjoy this cause I will try to brainstorm ideas along while writing at the same time.
