The Chrysalis of passion

I jolted awake when the train hit something on the tracks. I've been riding it for a few days now, making stops only too refuel and resupply. My destination is, well, i don't know. Just as long as it's away from that place. The ponies keep shooting me strange looks as if I'm from a different planet. For all I know, i could be. I woke 2 weeks ago in this place without any memories of my past. Although, i may not know exactly why the natives hated me so much, but i think it has to do with what i look like.

My mane seems to flow in the wind, even though there is none, it's colors are blood red, and electric blue. My coat is pitch black, and makes me look like a charred pony in the wind, but my real problem is my appendages. I have a feeling that there are very few ponies with wings and a horn, but that's no reason to stare at me until i look back at them. At least, i think so. But this mark on my, well, my ass, might be the strangest thing and the main reason that ponies stare at me. It's the sun and moon of this place swirling together, with 5 stars surrounding it. It seemed that was what they are staring at, anyways. I'm getting off topic, aren't I?

Well, either way, the train just stopped in Canterlot, so I suppose that I should get of-

"S-sir?" the nervous train conductor said, switching his gaze from my wings to my horn, "I'm terribly sorry to bother you and your, err, writing, but we will be in Canterlot for two days, a-and we need all passengers to get off the train."

"Oh," I said, closing my journal. "Alright then." As I got off of the train I stared in awe at the sights. There were marble towers piercing the sky with glittering golden tops, as well as many buildings that look, well, fancy. Then, there's all the shops. Don't get me started with the castle! A gigantic, elegant marble castle hanging off the side of the mountain with large towers, plenty of guards, and gold decorations. But, once again, everypony is staring at me. 'Oh, I wish that one of them would at LEAST come talk to me, instead of just sta-'

"Halt!" a guard said, stopping me in my tracks, "Who goes the- *gasp*" he stopped himself, and I saw him look at my wings. "HEY, SHINING!!" the guard shouted, turning to go through the gate. I just realized it, but apparently I wandered into the castle gates.

The guard came back with another guard next to him, who i assume is this 'Shining' fellow that I've heard nothing about. He took one look at me, whispered something into he other guards ear, then sprinted off into the castle. "Sir, I've been ordered to, politely," he said 'politely' like he was disgusted by it. "ask that you accompany me into the castle for an audience with the princess."

"Well," I started, growing very nervous as i spoke, "I-I would love too, but, I don't, well...."

"Just come with me, sir." The guard said, before I got a chance to tell him that I had absolutely NO CLUE who this so-called Princess was.

If only I had known about the shitstorm caused by an Alicorn waltzing into Canterlot, I wouldn't have come here in the first place.

=================================================================================================

I was escorted into the castle by this guard that is a HUGE douche. Either way, i am being lead into the throne room, and the sights are WONDERFUL! There's paintings hanging from the ceiling that are lovely. The windows are stained with images of great battles won by what i assume are the great heroes of this land. I secretly hoped that I would get to meet some of them, but I doubt it. We passed the gardens, which were lovely! They had all sorts of amazing flowers and plants. And don't even get me STARTED on the animals! I felt like I was in a zoo! 'Well, we've FINALLY arrived at the throne room' I thought, straining my neck to see the top of the massive doors leading to their princess.

"Open the doors, dingus!" My escort said to the unicorn by the door, who was, of course, staring at my cutie mark. 'Dingus' was snapped out of his trance, and used magic to open the massive doors. "Hey, guard-pony! Wanna hear a joke that I heard a while back?" I asked, seeing as the doors were being blocked by something, causing the unicorn too... Pound his face into the wall?

"Uhh, yeah, I guess..." The guard responded, hoping that he at least hadn't heard it before.

"Alright, so A unicorn, a pegasus, an earth pony, an Alicorn, and three dragons walk into a bar," I started, but couldn't finish, because of the door opening. "Aww, well, I guess I could tell you another time, see ya!" I said, happily trotting into the throne room.

As soon as I entered, the one thing that nopony expected to happen happened, causing the biggest shitstorm any of us had ever SEEN! It was so un - expected, that Celestia HERSELF was shocked at the sudden happenings! Why, the sun hasn't looked right for WEEKS after the event, so I will just come out and say it:

EVERYPONY STARED AT ME.

I fooled ya, didn't I? Well, either way, when I walked into the room, It was LINED with soldiers. Now, don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of guards around Equestria, all armed with magic, or the occasional wingblade, (And on one occasion, a gigantic dildo, but thats a different story.)

These were CLEARLY not guards, but soldiers. How do I know this, you ask? WELL, HAVE I GOT A DESCRIPTION FOR YOU!

First of all, there was a total of about 15,000 in the throne room. How they all fit in there, I will never know. Second, They all had HEAVY MYTHRIL ARMOR, PLATED WITH DRAGON SCALES AND ENCHANTED TO REDUCE ALL MAGIC DAMAGE!! Next, they were armed to the TEETH with high class weaponry. I'm talking Spears, swords, cannons, Artificial magic makers, weighted horseshoes, the works! And that wasn't even the worse part! The unicorns had already levitated COUNTLESS weapons to face me, not to mention the six ponies that were unarmored, except for a necklace for five of them, and a tiara for the sixth. And don't even get me STARTED on the two Alicorns sitting at the thrones!

One of them was shorter, but had full moonsteel armor, along with wingblades, a sword, and enough spears in her aura to take down this entire fucking castle! The large one, however, was who I really had to worry about. She was blinding to look at, but from what I could tell, she had armor made from sunsteel, with liquified fire surrounding her like a shield, she had the same arsenal as the other Alicorn, but the ONE thing that struck me as odd about the ENTIRE situation, was the fact that the large Alicorn... well... She had a name tag on. It said:

HELLO! MY NAME IS: None of your Damn business!

So, naturally, I asked about it in the middle of my impending doom.

"Err, what's with the name tag, lady?"
