Neutrality
Chapter 1.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThis confused the Dragonling. "Bipedal, means walks on two legs." The Dragonling wondered, and reaches for a dusty tome on a top shelf. "Legendary creatures," He slowly flipped through the pages, but kept stopping at one in particular.
Humans are fur-less creatures that once ruled the world, their world was split into several factions over the years. In the 1400's the settlement now known as Canterlot, was the home to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in Camelot. During the 10th century forward, the land now known Toqilin, was home to the feudal lords known as Shoguns warred for control of Japan. Warriors under these Shoguns would follow their leaders to the end of their lives. From -800 to 600 A.D. Grecians had many fierce warriors like the Spartans of Troy.

But Fierce though they were these warriors had several downsides like they were quick to anger, and were quite gullible, proven by the so-called Trojan Horse that was given as a present to their leader. The giant construct was filled with soldiers that after sunset stormed the city.
During the course of the first five centuries China was split into three major factions, Wei, Wu, and Shu, Cao Cao was leader of Wei and wanted to unite the country under an iron fist, While Sun Quan, led Wu for a more subtle aproach but later grew more violent, Liu Bei took the needs of the citizens in consideration and eventually succeeded with the help of Jhuge Liang.
"I gotta tell Twilight, these human things sound dangerous." He knew that Twilight's lunch with Rainbow was near Fluttershy's house. "She could run into that thing." Spike grabbed the scroll and ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. As soon as he ran out the door something swept under him. "Pinkie?"
"Hi Spike, whatcha in such a hurry for." The Pink cotton candy smelling pony threw him onto her back.
"It's Twilight,"
"What about her?"
"Just take me to Fluttershy's it's important."
"Okay hold on tight." The Pink mare bolted off toward their destination, and in seconds skidded to a halt on top of the picnic table between the two ponies.
"Pinkie?" Twilight's eyes narrowed.
"Pinkie Pie you are so,"
"No time for Random, this is important." Pinkie slammed her hoof into the potato salad.
"Pinkie did you hafta go so fast?"
"Spike, are you okay?" Twilight was worried about her little assistant.
"I'm fine, Twilight but this came right after you left." Spike held out the scroll as it glowed purple and was ripped from his claws and opened in front of her face.
"What's it say Twilight?" Rainbow placed her hooves on the table.
"Princess Celestia wants us to visit Zecora and ask about a strange creature that's been sighted."
"What Kind of creature?" Fluttershy asked calmly after trotting over to greet Pinkie.
"A human." Spike replies after taking a drink from a glass of water.
"A WHAT?" Everypony asked never hearing of that creature before today.
"I read a book about them,"
"When, I don't remember a book on Humans."
"It fell when you tripped into the bookcase."
"Give us the abridged explanation while we get AJ and Rarity." Twilight
"Okay you know what year it is right?"
"Of course 4012," Twilight answered."
"Back in time the ones who ruled the land before Celestia and Luna, were these things called humans, they were really smart, fast, and strong. They were all really powerful."
"How po'erful?" Applejack caught up pretty fast.
"Stronger than Big Macintosh, smarter than Celestia, and faster than Rainbow Dash."
"That's impossible, nopony's faster than me,"
"And there ain't nopony stronger than my brother."
(Zecora's Hut.)
"Are you sure you're okay?" I ask Zecora through the bathroom door.
"I am fine Knight get some rest, from here on out you are my guest."
"Thank you," I walk around her hut, it was strangely bigger on the inside. It was decorated with tribal masks and herbs. I find a small chair in the corner and sat down. I shut my eyes and calm my mind, a male voice echoes throughout my mind.
"My Child what is wrong?"
"I do not know where I am or how I came to be here."
"What do you intend to do to find out?"
"Do not patronize me, great one."
"I mean no disrespect Son of Gawain, I just think you should find out on your own, rather than being told by a higher being."
"I see where you come from All-Father, but why only now do you show yourself?"
"Only now have you contacted me."
"Touche, All-Father. Is there anything you can warn me about."
"There is one you must, Discordus he is how you say, of questionable intent."
"What does that mean?"
"He means no harm, yet he means no good either."
"So he has a neutral alignment?"
"You could say that."
"My Shining Knight, do you feel alright?" Zecora's voice snapped me from my consult, her Mohawk was damp and limp as wet noodles.
"Yes, my maiden fair,"
"That is good that you feel better, here you are it's a letter."
"A letter," I grab the scroll that she handed me and open it.
Dear Zecora,
We will be stopping by later this afternoon, so expect guests soon,
From, Twilight Sparkle.
"Who's Twilight Sparkle?"
"A dear friend, she lives in the town at the forest's end."
"Should I be worried." She shakes her head.
"There is no need to feel unnerved, her confusion will be well deserved."
"When will they arrive?"
"My Knight of great power, they shall arrive within they hour."
I slowly tap my fingers on my sword and ponder whether or not to wait for this Twilight to show up, or to find her. The odd sound of clanking stirred me back to reality. Steel gauntlets adorned my arms, the engraving of a Raven head glowed purple. "Where did I get these?"
"Your arms were always clasped, why is it now that you gasp?"
"It's just I've never noticed," My sentence was interrupted by knocking on the hut door. "They're here aren't they?" She remained silent and opened the door as six others shuffled in.
"Zecora have you seen a strange creature around these parts." An orange one who wore a hat with a wide brim asked.
"That depends on what you describe, then I can give you the information you prescribe."
"Ai'll never get used tah that?" Her accent was peculiar to say the least.
Each one was strangely coloured, Two Unicorns one Lavender, another a very pale blue, Two Pegasi one Cyan another a pale yellow, and a very light red miniature horse. The light red one, seemed suspicious, it was like she knew I was here. "I found him, I found him, I found him!!!" She hopped around me screaming at the top of her lungs. She lifted the tablecloth to reveal my hiding spot.
"Why are you afraid, these ponies only bring aid?"
"I am not afraid, I just think it's a little unwise to have others walk through the door unto a creature which whom they have not seen," My speech pattern took on my father's.
"You can speak?" The lavender Unicorn seemed dumbfounded.
"Of course I can, what do you take me for, a soulless beast?"
