A new life in a new land

A new life in a new land ch 3

   Princess Celestia began, “800 years ago, Humans did live in Equestria, they lived along side with us, Helping us, built homes for us, most were good, there were some though. Who wanted to do harm to us, only a small number of them were dangerous to us. We kept those at bay, with help from the good humans, But tragedy befell the humans, they started to suffer from a disease that only infected humans. I contacted many of our doctors of the time, and we tried to find a cure, we did, but it was too late.” She closed her eyes and continued,” every human had died, we almost saved them. Princess Celestia then opened her eyes and looked at me and continued,” So we had to bury them in a large underground cemetery and now Fillydelphia sits on top of it. I then asked,” Why was it underground and why did Fillydelphia get built over it ? ”

    Princess Celestia then said,” I didn’t want my little ponies to be forced to remember the loss of what was mostly a good race of beings, We also didn’t want our land to be a giant cemetery.” I looked at her “ So why tell me ?”

The princess then said” Me and my sister thought that humans were gone indefinitely but since you are here, it means humans still exist.” I then said,” Yeah, I mean..there are seven billion humans in the world I came from, In our world, a creature such as a unicorn or pegasus  is considered imaginary or mythical, We only have regular horses, and they can’t talk, they have an intelligence comparable to a human four year old.”  Celestia then said,” I see, so your species are the dominate life forms on your world.” I replied,” Yes.”

     ~Meanwhile~   Lyra was trotting to Twilight’s tree house.  She opened the door and went right up to Twilight and asked,” What did you right about that Human !?”

Twilight looked at her and said,” I just wrote to the Princess that we had a human who appeared here.”

“Well the Royal Guard came and took him away to Canterlot to see Princess Celestia.”

Twilight then said,” Maybe the Princess just wants to see the human for herself.”

Lyra then looked at Twilight, “but he was the first Human I have ever seen, he proves the they are real and not just an old pony tale. He was so tall and strong and ..ohh..those hands..they felt….”

Twilight gave her a strange look and then smiled and said,” You like him Lyra.” she started to giggle.

“WHAT!” Lyra shouted. “I mean no of course not, he’s a human, not a pony.”

Twilight then walked to one of her book shelves and levitated a book down with her magic. The book was entitled “ Equestrian fables” She opened the book and flipped the pages  to one about humans. Twilight then started reading.

“Humans are primates, they are not very smart, often very aggressive. They tend to live in tribes. Though they are caring towards their offspring. They were kind to Ponies, some finding ponies…cute…. They helped ponies build homes and taught Ponies abut medicine and early technology.”

“I KNEW IT!” Lyra said. “I knew Humans were responsible for pony society.”

“Lyra, keep in mind that the book I am reading is about mythology.” Twlight replied. “However the fact that this human is here, shows that they are more then mythology, that they are real.”

“He told me he came from a world where there were billions of humans, and that they create advanced and amazing technology, I wish I could go there, it sounds amazing” Lyra said.

Twilight sighed and rolled her eyes. Just then the door to Twilight’s tree house opened.

Rainbow Dash was at the door with Fluttershy, Rainbow was the first to  speak.

“Twilight, you won’t believe what was found in Fillydelphia.”

Twilight responded,” What, what did they find?”

Fluttershy then said while shivering,” They found ske…skeletons “

Twilight’s and Lyra’s eyes widened at the mention of the word. Then

Twilight said,” What type of  skeletons are they?”

Rainbow Dash then said,” We don’t know , they aren’t pony bones, or dragon, they look like giant monkey bones.”

“Giant monkey bones, wait are they human bones?” Lyra asked.

Rainbow Dash then looked at her and narrowed her eyes,” We don’t know, there were some construction ponies working and they found the bones while digging.”

Twilight thought for a moment and then said,”I think we should go to Fillydelphia and investigate.”

Lyra looked at her,” Really, you mean we can go to see if this is real or not.”

“Sure.” Twilight said, She then started to walk up the stairs and said,” I just need to pack a few things, and Spike can watch the library while I’m away.”

A few minutes later she comes down and Lyra is right by the door bouncing up and down with a saddlebag on that bears her cutie mark,” Okay Twilight I’m ready, I told Bon Bon that I would be away investigating Human bones, she still thinks I’m crazy.”

“Okay then” Twilight responded  “Spike!”

Spike came down and saying “Yes Twilight”

Twilight said to him” I need you to watch the library while I’m away in Fillydelphia with Lyra and Rainbow Dash.” Spike noded and said,”on it Twi.”
