The sun shone brightly, and the city comes back to life after the silence of the night. I woke up from my deep sleep, tidied, bring my backpack with me, and headed to the dining room for breakfast. The royal guards greeted me.
“Good morning, Mr. Jackson.” said one of the royal guards, I returned their greets.
They opened the castle door; The castle looks beautiful as it was. White marble combined with gold, makes this castle look magnificent. My name is William Jackson. Canterlot castle is where I live. I still can’t believe that I ended up here. The first thing I know, I was solo camping on the mountain. And something got me unconscious, a second later I ended up in this magical world full of anthropomorphic creatures. Including Ponies, the ones who welcomed me.
First, they suspected me. However, I understand that, because It’s basically our natural response when we encounter something unfamiliar. But over time, they started to get friendly. And I met her.
“Good morning, Will!” said a familiar voice, I look at where the voice comes from.
A dark blue coat pony, her blue hair is beautiful, floating with scattered star clusters, and her sea blue eyes were unmatched by anything. Princess Luna, The co-ruler of this magical land, Equestria. And The little sister of Princess Celestia.
“Good morning, Luna!” I returned her greets.
“You’re going to the dining room?” asked Luna.
I nodded.
“Let’s get there together!” she grabbed my hand, and we walked together.
Princess Luna, she is the first one who looked up to me when I was first brought here. And take me to safety from the spooky forest known as Everfree forest. At first, she suspected me of being a spy. But over time, I gained her trust and she made me her friend. We shared lots of things. Made our relationship closer. I started to grow feeling for her. In my third week here, I confessed my feelings to her.
And what I don’t believe at first, she also shares the same feeling as me. We ended up dating. Her elder sister, Princess Celestia. Approve our relationship. She’s happy that her young sister finds someone that loved her and bring her happiness.
“We’re here!” said Luna.
The royal guards opened the door. The dining room looks elegant, and I noticed there was a figure sitting in one of the chairs. Princess Celestia, she’s been waiting for us.
“Good morning sister!” greeted Celestia, then she looked at me, “Good morning, William!”
“Good morning Celestia!” said Luna, “Good morning, Princess!” I returned her greets.
“Oh, come on now Will, we don’t need to be formal right now. Call me by my name is just fine…” said Celestia.
“Ok, Celestia,” I said, Celestia smiled, “Have a seat”
We sat down, I placed my bag next to me, and the waiter came and served the food.
30 minutes later…
We have finished eating, and Luna had to leave earlier. She was exhausted from her duty and had to take a rest. The waiters have done the cleaning already. The dining room is now quiet. Left me and Celestia in the room. Celestia walked towards me and asked me something unexpected.
“So, William. When will you marry my little sister?” asked Celestia, this question caught me off guard.
“Uhm,” I blushed furiously, I never expected her to say that. Especially from Celestia, is usually calm, professional, and mother-like. But this question came out of her mouth.
Celestia giggled at my reaction.
When I try to answer the question, Celestia interrupted after she saw the clock.
“Oops, it's time for me to work.” Said Celestia, “I’ll wait for your answer, at the dinner.”
She then leaves the dining room.
I was saved.
I sighed, but that question stuck in my mind. I grabbed my back and decided to go for a walk, the city was the best place to go, the city reminds me of Europe, but mixed with magic and fantasy. I walked through the street and looked around. They acted normal, sometimes glanced at presents, I think they had accepted me. However, some are still wary when they see me, can’t blame them though.
I walked for minutes already. I decided to hop by at some café and walked to the cashier.
“Hey there, how can I help you?” The Cashier friendly said.
“Can I have a cup of coffee, please?” I said.
The cashier nodded, “Anything else?”
“No Thanks.” I gave her a warm smile.
“Your order will be ready soon, have a great day!” said The Cashier.
I paid for the coffee, and searched for a seat, I found an empty seat on the corner. I sat down and opened my bag. Inspecting what’s inside of it. I got my laptop, chargers, earpod, one strand of clothing, a tumbler, and medicines. I took the earpod and re-closed my bag, I buried my desire to use the laptop, I didn't want to invite the attention of the masses with human technology. I decided to use my phone instead, which is smaller than a laptop and easy to hide.
I pulled it out from my pocket, used it, and open my gallery. My mind began to think about how different Earth was from their world, which they called, Equus. The day and night cycle and weather cycle need to be controlled manually. The ponies civilization was quite modern though, they have steam-engine trains, machines, and cameras. And the world is relatively more peaceful than humans.
What’s interesting is that almost all countries in this world are a monarchy. In this country alone, Equestria, they got four princesses that rule the land, how? the newest princess is Princess Celestia’s ex-protegee, Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship. She resides in Ponyville, a small town not far from here with her friends, they’re known as The Elements of Harmony. I’ve met Twilight before, and holy shit, she asked me a shit ton of questions. About many things, like human civilizations, cultures, technology, etc. It kind of irritated me. But I’ve adapted to it.
“Hey there, here’s your coffee.” said The Waitress, I snapped back to reality.
“Oh, Thanks!” I replied.
She smiled, she then places the coffee on the table, and left. I take a sip.
Sheesh, this coffee tastes good!
Minutes later, I finished my coffee and continue to walk, I was in awe at the beauty of the buildings in Canterlot, I didn't pay attention to the direction. And I bumped into someone.
“Ouch!” I said while rubbing my head.
I opened my eyes and saw who I bumped into.
“Princess Twilight? Are you okay? What are you doing here?!” I panicked, and I lend my hand to help her.
She grabbed my hand, “Ow… don’t worry, I’m fine.” She rubbed her head, “I wanted to visit you together with the girls.”
I just noticed that she brings her friends. Along with her assistants, and her pupils, Starlight and Sunset.
“And also, you already know what I want to do?” asked Twilight.
“Yes Twilight, you want to discuss my kind for your ‘Research’ a thousand times, am I right?” I said with an unamused face.
“Not a thousand times, only seventy-sixth times, and with this one will be seventy-seventh times.” Defend Twilight.
“Still, the only thing you want to do is ask him,” said Rainbow Dash. Rolled her eyes
“Hehe” Twilight just grinned in embarrassment. And place her hand behind her head.
“This is not the best place to do that sugarcube, why don’t we go to the castle.” Applejack suggested.
“Great idea!” approved Twilight.
I rolled my eyes, as I follow them to the castle for another “hell” session with Twilight.
To be continued…
