"Um... h-hi...?" I say, waving at the... colorful people?... awkwardly, unsure what to say.

They all just looked tense... wait... looking over each of them... there's one 'normal' looking person, relatively speaking since all of the seem to be pastel colored... yet... does that teenager have wings... that lady has a horn... and that woman has both???

I gain a confused expression... then the purple-skinned woman with a horn and wings spoke.

"By Celestia's mane... is it sapient...?"

I stare at them for a good amount of time, before speaking up myself.

"What... who the fuck is Celestia...?"

She looks at me like I just asked what the sun is, "Who is...?" the purple woman asks, then shakes her head before she states, "She's the ruler of Equestria, for the past millennium."

I blink a few times. "... that's... what...?" I ask in confusion, before I look myself over, "... what am I...?"

The blue-teenager with... rainbow hair... then quickly gets up in my face, hovering there, startling me as I then fall onto my ass.

"O-oof, jeez rainbow mane," I say, feeling confused as I felt no pain.

"Rainbow Dash," she stated, looking at me expectantly.

I blink. "... what?" I asked, bewildered.

"Rainbow Dash," she says again, before putting a hand to her chest... her furry chest... "that's my name."

I blink a few more times. "... that's the weirdest name I've ever heard..." I stated... then my eyes widen.

"Why you-!" Rainbow went to tackle me... only to be held back as her tail was suspended with a purplish-pink aura.

"No Rainbow, we can't just attack them outright," the purple pony said, "we don't even know it's capabilities, what if you got injured from doing such a thing!"

"U-um..." I gain a nervous look, not paying any attention to the words suddenly appearing in my vision, what was my name?

I try and can easily recall some of my past so I can't be having amnesia... I remember my friends, my family, my home... none of which are here... and I'm stuck in some sort of four-armed, mechanical body in some alien looking facility...

Despite the ponies still talking, I couldn't hear them as I began to lose myself mentally, can I find my way back, where is my home even, who am I, who is my family...?

Then I blacked out.

~ POV Change: First Person: Twilight ~

We jump when we hear a series of clangs, then look back over to the strange golem... which in now laying on it's side, with different symbols completely covering it's eyes, and large ones colored red flashing on them.

"What the hay?!" I shout, before running over to it and examining it, but I find no visible damage.

"I didn't anything this time, it just fell over!" Rainbow exclaims, just as surprised as Steel, Rarity, and I.

Then, once I've thought about all that's happened, I look back to the others with confidence.

"We need to tell the Princesses about this, and we might need to bright this..." I look to the fallen golem, "weird golem with us. just in case it awakens once more."

Steel nods, "Leave it ta me, it looks pretty heavy, so it'll take a bit, but I'll get it out o' here fer ya," he states this, before hefting the golem onto his back, looking weighed down, but he's able to move it without straining himself it seems.

"Alright," I say with a nod, "let's get out of here and let the other ponies know what we found."

We all then proceed towards the exit, with the golem in hoof.

Celestia sips on her tea with a surprisingly buff looking Unicorn across from her, looking hopeful as he speaks.

"... and I wish to be able to find anymore places to explore, examine, and even breathe the air of lost civilizations! ... and with your funding, we could find so much more!"

I smile, before placing my cup of tea back on the platter.

"Mister Hunter, while I appreciate you enthusiasm and your willingness to find more history for us... however-" I say, before a scroll appears before me from dragon fire, "Oh, apologies, my student is messaging me, may I...?"

"O-of course, your majesty," he says as he nods.

Silence reigns as I open and read over the letter, then I give a display of many emotions, and the Discovery clears his throat.

I look back to him, before responding. "Sorry about that, but it seems like an opportunity has arisen for you."

He blinks a few times, "... I'm... sorry, Princess...?"

"A sinkhole happened near Ponyville, and with it, an unknown, buried area has been discovered," I state with clarity, and his eyes widen in surprise, and I give him a warm smile, "So, I'll fund you for excavating that area to find out as much as you can, my little pony."

Discovery looked giddy, shocked, and confused at his own luck.

"I... thank you, Princess," he states then give a salute, "I will not fail you!"

"Of course," I nod, as I write down on a document, before I fold it up, seal it, and then pass it to him, "ask a guard to take you to the Treasury, and hoof this document over to the pony in charge there, and they'll give you the funding you requested."

Discovery nods, takes the document with his magic and puts it into his saddlebag, gives a slight bow, before taking off towards the nearest guard.

Then, I get up, and walk over to the nearest window, and look towards Ponyville, a bit surprised as I can somewhat make out the sinkhole from here. As I look, I quickly write down a letter, before sending it off to Twilight.

"An odd golem that seemed to be sapient... I wonder..." I mutter to myself as I go into thought.

~ Timeskip: 40 minutes earlier ~

I blink a few times... what was this... disturbance...? Something's going on in the realm of dreams...

I pick up a quill and papyrus, before writing down a quick note, getting a piece of 'tape', still an odd invention that, but handy all the same, then stick it on the outside of my door.

Once that was taken care of, I begin to make my way into the realm of dreams, getting comfortable as her mind fades into it.

When I open my eyes, I am floating downwards as the dreams of those that slumber float on by, however, my attention isn't focused on them, as I look towards... it seems like a dream, but it looks... like lightning is coming off of it and it looks... like 'static'?

"What in Tartarus...?" I say as I try to get a better look.

Once I touch the orb, however, I receive a strong, painful shock, pulling my hand away as I yelp in pain, then look to my hand, seeming to actually be singed.

"Hrrgh..." I partially looking back to the orb, seeing no noticeable changes, but being more cautious, "i-is this some sort of... protection magic...? Or perhaps... a curse of some kind...?"

After a bit, I put up some wards to protect myself, before attempting to enter the dream, and at first, it felt like I flew face first into window, without the pain. Almost falling over in shock from this unexpected feeling, I regain my hoofing before carefully trying again, this time, seeming to bend the 'barrier' I came across as I 'push' against it, taking up plenty of my energy and concentration. After a bit, I stop and feel like I've made little to no progress... then the next time I try to go against this barrier, I'm not trying much, and I'm basically asking this barrier to let me in, though, only mentally...

"ACCESS DENIED, PLEASE ENTER ADMIN PASSWORD." A... feminine... echoing... empty sounding voice states, startling me.

"W-what is...?" I ask, looking to the orb, the source of the voice, and find... some sort of display... 'emanating' from it that wasn't the before, with an empty bar... that suddenly filled with symbols that I've never seen before, before flashing red and making a cutting, irritating noise.

"PASSWORD INVALID, PLEASE ENTER ADMIN PASSWORD. TWO ATTEMPTS REMAINING," the same monotone, feminine voice states.

"Wait what? Two attempts??" I ask incredulously, before stomping one of my hooves in frustration, "Do I get a hint at least...?"

There is silence for a bit, before nice, soft bell chime is heard, and the display from before lengthens and more symbols that I do not recognize from anywhere I've been to or visited...

"Erm... could I have it in Equestrian?" I ask nervously and hopefully, looking embarrassed, "I do not understand this language..."

"SEARCHING FOR 'Equestrian' LANGUAGE," the voice states, mimicking when I said my own language, surprising me, before another pleasant bell is heard, "LANGUAGE FOUND, TRANSLATING . . . "

After a bit the word almost seem to melt, before reforming into words I understand, but I'm left feeling confused after reading it over, before double-checking...

ADMIN PASSWORD: [ | ]

Hint:
What is my name?
