Chapter 3: The First Humans

Everyone was looking at Achenar, confused to what he could have done in his short time here to have the princesses intervene. Achenar was also confused, all he did was read a book and now it seemed he was Equestria's most wanted.

"Princess, what do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"Last night I thought I felt a disturbance in the flow of Harmony coming from here in Ponyville. Later this was confirmed by my sister Luna when she reported feeling the same thing when she returned from her nightly duties." Princess Celestia said in her regal voice. "When I saw our friend here, my suspicions were confirmed." she said in a serious tone.

"Now, now Tia, Lets give the boy a chance explain himself." Luna said in a calming voice. "Now please tell us who you are and how it is you came to our world." She said sipping some tea that Spike had brought out.

"R-right, ok. My name is Achenar Faust." Achenar said introducing himself. "I come from a place called Earth and as for how I got here, I'm still not on the 100% sure on that." He said shrugging.

"Just tell us what you know Achenar." Luna said in a calm voice.

"Ok, well I guess it started a few months ago when my aunt died." Achenar began to tell the story of how he found the secret library in the mansion and the weird book, leaving out the part about who his aunt was. Everyone listened quietly taking in every detail of the story.

"And when I put my hand on the last page of the book everything around me went dark. When I woke up I was here." Achenar said finishing his story.

"Wow, that's one heck of a story you got there sugarcube." Applejack said when he had finished.

"I'll say" Rainbow Dash chimed in.

"Indeed." Celestia said in a mater of fact tone. "So you say you came here after touching the last page of a book with the word Equestria on it?" she ask.

"Yes your highness." Achenar said.

"I see." Celestia said nodding to Luna.

"There is just one thing I don't get." Achenar said. "Non of you seemed to be shocked about my appearance. I'm not the first human to come to this world am I?" He asked looking at the two princesses and Twilight.

Celestia took a deep breath before answering. "No your not." Celestia said finally. "It's a rather sad and forgotten part of Equestria's history. She said in a sad tone. "The first humans were two brothers by the names of Sirrus and Achenar. They came here many centuries ago, shortly after Luna and I defeated Discord. They came here clamming that they were here to learn about our world and to help better it. B-b-u..." Celestia said tears coming to her eyes.

"But they lied." Luna said finishing her sisters sentence. "They didn't care one bit about our world or about helping it. At first it seemed like they were helping, but as time grow on they started telling me things  like: Celestia didn't care about me, they said that the ponies of Equestria rejected and shunned the night that I brought forth, that I should be the one to rule Equestria. Which unfortunately lead to my dark descent into becoming of Nightmare Moon." she explained sadly. "After which they left our world using a strange book which then fell into a fire they had started."

"A few years later their father, a man by the name of Atrus came with his wife to apologize for their sons actions. They said that their sons have been servery punished and wished to know if there was anything they could do to help undo the damage that has been done." Celestia said continuing the story. "I excepted their apology and told them what has been done has been done but thanked them for the offer. They apologized once more before retuning to their world with the use of a book similar to the one their sons used." She said sipping her tea. "1000 years later, about a week before the Summer Sun Celebration, another human came to our world clamming that she wished to learn about our world. Because of what Sirrus and Achenar did I was skeptical at first, but started to trust her when she actually asked about our history and started taking notes. Her name was Lauren Faust" Celestia said with a smile obviously knowing who Achenar's aunt was the whole time. "After Nightmare Moon was defeated and my sister returned, she decided to stay in Ponyville with Twilight and her friends so she could learn first hand about our world." She said taking another sip of tea.

"She stayed with us for two years before returning to her own world for a couple of weeks." Twilight explained. "She would do that a lot, she would stay with us for a year or so, making notes on different things going on, then leave for a week or so."

"I guess that explains the picture of you and my aunt." Achenar said pointing to the picture on the shelf.

"indeed, and if what you said about her is true then that would explain why she didn't come back this time." Twilight said sadly. "But it doesn't explain how you knew about the princesses before you even came here." she said changing the subject.

"In away it does." Achenar said. "You see, were I come from we have this device called a T.V. which allows us to watch events happening kilometers away with out being there. It also allows us to watch these things called "Cartoons" that are like comics put into motion." He explained. "Anyway, back in my world my aunt Lauren was a writer of sorts. What she would do was come up with ideas and stories for these cartoons. One of her most popular cartoons was called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, which I guess put simply is about you and your friends Twilight." Achenar said looking at the mane six.

"So everypony in your would knows about us?" Rarity asked.

"More or less, not everyone watches though. And the Show defiantly didn't do your beauty justice." Achenar said giving a small wink to Luna who blushed.

"Well, that just leaves the matter of what you plan to do now that your here and where you're going to stay." Celestia said finishing off her tea.

"Well I wasn't really expecting to come here, so I guess I'll just play it by ear." Achenar said shrugging. "I also have no Idea where I going to stay. Where did my aunt stay when she was here?" He asked looking at Twilight.

"Well, she had her own house just outside of Ponyville that I guess you could stay in." she said.

"Well then, I do believe that covers everything." Celestia said getting up. "Now it's getting late, so Luna and I will be returning to Canterlot so you can get settled. It was nice seeing you all again." With that the two princesses got up and left the library.


The walk to the house was spent mostly in silent apart from Twilight asking Achenar a few questions about himself and his world. Achenar answered them to the best of his ability. When they finally reached the house Celestia had already lowered the sun and Luna had started to raise the moon.

"Well, here we are." Twilight said stopping in front of a two story building.

They all entered the house and turned on the lights. The interior of the house was nothing special, the walls were painted Eggshell White, there was a small couch and matching love seat in the living room with a cafe table, as well as a kitchen and dinning doom all on the first floor. Up stairs there was a bathroom and two bedrooms that had their own beds.

"Thanks for showing me to the house guys." Achenar said turning to the ponies standing in the living room. "I'm kind of exhaust from today so I think I'll call it an early night." he said stretching and letting out a small yawn.

"Um Achenar darling, I know you didn't real prepare when you came here, so do you have any clothes apart from what you're waring?" Rarity asked.

"I have an extra pair of clothes in my bag. Why?" Achenar asked looking at her.

"Then you simply must let me make you some new clothes." She said extravagantly.

"I would be honored if you were to do that for me." He said with a smile. "I'll stop by your shop tomorrow so you can take my measurements."

"OH my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! You know what this means?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly. "A party!"

"Calm down Pinkie." Twilight said to the pink party pony.

"That's ok Twilight, I would love to go to one of pinkies fabulous parties. How dose three days from now sound?" Achenar asked turning to face Pinkie.

"That would be perfect, that gives me enough time to invite every one in town and get everything ready." She said as she bounced out of the house.

"Well, I got ta get up early tomorrow so I'll be seeing you surgecube." Applejack said turning to leave.

"Ya, i got to leave too." Rainbow Dash said before she flew out the door not really giving a reason why.

"Well, I best be off if im going to get some designs ready." Rarity said as she left.

"Um...well it was nice meeting you." Fluttershy said in her quiet voice before she to left leaving Achenar alone with Twilight.

"So..." Achenar said not really sure what to say.

"Yeah...well see you later." Twilight said leaving, closing the door behind her.

Achenar sighed and went up the stairs to one of the bedrooms. He put his bag down next to the bed and went to sleep.


A/N: If some one could help me fix up Applejack's parts by making it more southern that would be greatly appreciated.
