Chapter 6:

“We do not have such creatures here, you are a sentient being though and as such are given certain rights in our lands, that includes a right to live and have a fair free trial. Fortunately you do not seem to intend any hostility towards us so I will not be using any form of restraint nor are you under arrest” Celestia was stern but fair her eyes scanning me if only shortly before returning to my eyes. “I’m very glad to hear that Princess Cele…” me and my stupid big mouth; all the ponies in front of me were shocked they used their magic to pin me to the wall all the fathomable fury of a sun Goddess bearing upon me “Human I am going to scan your mind I do this on the authority of my Lands as to protect my ponies and all other sentient life if you resist I will throw you into the sun as I will take it as an act of war understood?” her voice strangely calm Luna’s 1000 year punishment seemed pleasant all of a sudden but then again she must be scared to make such a threat, I tried to remain calm watching her horn glow closing my eyes to wait for the invading mind.

I woke – thankfully- in a white room a bed in a corner I was strapped to it I pulled at the bonds Beep “fucking magic” I muttered as a nurse pony and the eldest sister trotted into my room “I looked upon your mind…” before she could continue my fear had dissipated “Eeyup, I figured that out” I grumbled out my head hurt, she glared at me “please tell everypony to leave this floor … now” Celestia’s voice was stern and the poor nurse pony scrambled to remove everyone out of the floor we were currently in. “Now we need to have a talk Dex Fury” a tell tale smile told me I was not going to be in the best negotiation position.
“Firstly I know it is in the very least rude to read through all of your thoughts and memories, however I hope you understand that in order to protect our world I am very defensive especially to creatures who are not stopped by the Elements and happen to know my position and name, whom further more do not exist here” Celestia almost looked sad. “Princess please forgive me I did not want to cause harm nor to frighten you, I completely understand your position I’m sure our leaders would of done the same or worse,” she brightened up at our conversation “Now I cannot keep you here or in the dungeons forever so I am willing to make you a deal” her voice had become threatening and stern as expected of an immortal ruler “Yes Ma’am” she smiled a little – she was hard to read – “you will live with myself and Princess Luna in Canterlot until such time as we can trust you to live elsewhere and also we would like to study you taking memories is factual but its all pictures hardly any knowledge comes with it.” I was stooped, not only do I get to be free, I get to first live in the castle I had to admit I am curious about how they live “any other terms at this time Princess Celestia?” I was practically cracking a smile her poker face was much better than mine, “Call me Celestia, Tia for short I feel I know you a fair bit more than you know me Dex.”

Beyond the Everfree forest was my ‘story’ I was not at anytime apart from the three Mares in my presence when I named Celestia, to declare I was from the ‘sky whirlpool’ or that I had in fact prior knowledge to anything in Equestria, the fact we speak a common language is not surprising, griffons, ponies, zebra’s and the rest of the dominant species all speak with the same language apparently it is not known why it is before the time at which civilization created history. I was given a large room supposedly for Griffon guests as they were mostly as large as the princesses, I had been kept for observation at the hospital and allowed to leave shortly after my talk with Celestia where I had been teleported to the room – I almost puked.
“Dex?” I could recognize that voice a mile off, “Twilight do come in” the purple unicorn pushed the door open a grunt told me there was a guard stationed at my door. “What may I do for you today?” she smiled “I’m in charge of research and I would like to ask you some questions is that…ok?” I mentally had a overload of cute her eyes were almost shining with the prospect of knowledge “su..sure” I stammered “GREAT! So how many sentient species are in your world or universe?” her innocent smile and big eyes I felt like an older kid about to ruin a pleasant surprise “technically… humans are the only ones in our universe Twilight, but I’d say we aren’t the only ones we just haven’t met them yet,” as I expected she seemed disappointed however it was temporary she took a mass of paper and took the note that Humans were a lone dominant race she pondered before asking “so if your species are the only dominant sentient beings… does that make you predators or prey?” there was apprehension in her voice for good reason I hooked my upper lip with my finger pulling back to reveal my canine teeth she curiously came closer to my mouth, I could feel something not solid but touching and sensing my tooth, her horn aglow it must be the feeling of magic, Twilight the little genius started to diagram the entire tooth on parchment putting measurements in her language it looked a little like Japanese and also English but with hardly any curves in the lines I guess it was easier to write when ponies invented it for those without magic? I started to notice Twilight’s body more, I could see that the dimension was more real obviously than the show’s, I could see muscle definition, her eyes dart about her pupils larger than my ears, we were entrapped in studying each other I looked closely at her horn it was enchanting, the strands of nerves and glowing…arteries? Spiraled up the horn with each tug, sensation – including grabbing my tongue to my surprise, her horn flittered and changed its glow nothing like the general aura on the show, I reached out stroking my index finger however I wasn’t ready for the next bit “OH Celestia!” holy crap just like clop fics! I immediately regretted doing that though as twilight ripped my tooth out “OW you…!” remembering I probably did that – we both stared in silence for a second as we realized what we both did… (In unison) “Oh my I’m so sorry” we both looked a little puzzled then “do you happen to grow teeth back?” I shook my head Laughing – “do you unicorns all do that when something softly touches your horns?” Twilight blushed a little at this then becoming stern she took the tooth “I’m going to keep this now as evidence, don’t touch my or any other unicorn’s horn” she trotted out with a strange shade of purple on her cute face I couldn’t help but rub my cheek.

Teleportation sucks its pretty much like a roller-coaster but you get all the effects none of the actual movement and fun, I ended up in front of Celestia with a still slightly blushed Twilight “so I see my student has already gotten into her task then? We both ended up a slightly redder pair, she quirked an eyebrow; “I discovered that unicorns and I guess Alicorns must have sensitive horns Celestia” – I got an evil glare from Twilight for not using the mannerism but she soon went back to being shy as I opened my mouth showing where I had paid for the discovery “I see how interesting for you both I think Twilight will have to explain some ‘no touching’ areas on each race here” Twilight nodded calmly then her horn glowing her eyes widening, she pulled me closer it felt like she was ripping my jaw off “Oa ahh ig iea?” she blushed again and let me go I collapsed onto my knees rubbing my jaw both Celestia and I gave Twilight a quirked eyebrow I think I caught a smile just before she began “Sorry; but you said you don’t grow teeth back right?” I nodded and Twilight continued “please touch the gum where your tooth was” I was slightly worried it pointed to a finite possibility one that wasn’t supposed to happen, I poked my gum only to find a sharp canine tooth pushing through the gum line “What the Fu.! It’s growing its really growing back!” I bounced around a little excited and unsure of the further implications Celestia gave me an odd glare “ Honestly this isn’t supposed to happen we heal our bodies rather slowly and we don’t even grow teeth after our baby teeth drop out” I explained, Celestia seemed satisfied with it “so you are not quite human anymore then?” Celestia asked I looked surprised at her logic “I guess biologically something might have been changed in my DNA – shouldn’t be possible though” touching my tooth slowly just to check it was there, things like this don’t happen in succession the probability was too high “so moving on what was I dematerialized here for?” there was a hint of cheekiness to my voice Celestia managed a smile “remarkably I think Twilight already asked this, what do humans eat? More specifically breakfast?” Celestia trotting down from her throne, Twilight following her and I lastly plodding along I suppose similar to spike, we walked into a near by room and into the royal kitchen; there were fires, stoves, fridges, larders equipment and no end of food. It was most assuredly fit for the royalty, it had an odd mixture of medieval style fire pits and very modern fridges and machinery for batter mixing, I had experience in cooking since an early age, “Celestia – would you mind if instead of talking I showed you?” Celestia nodded sitting down at a table very bare this was probably the table where the chef’s would eat or prepare food – I suppose she just ordered them all out. I went rummaging for the ingredients I needed, I managed to find self-raising flour, sugar, eggs, milk and maple syrup I could remember that the amounts were 1 part flour, .5 part sugar, an egg and around half a liter of milk… scotch pancakes – a family favorite. Finding a bowl I poured one measurement er; things from the side - of flour filling to the half way point of sugar pouring it into the bowl, making a little well in the center I then got searching for some way to figure out how much milk I was using, eventually spotting a jug it was a similar shape and size to mine in the house… “Celestia…” I think its common in all languages extending an individual’s name at the start of a sentence prepares them to know you want something. I kept pouring until I thought I had half a liter of milk, not realizing Twilight’s keen eyes were watching me intrigued by my hands and lack of magical ability “…If I managed to survive through that wormhole and I remember seeing my hallway before being knocked out; does that mean my entire house and possessions arrived here?” I turned from Twilight still oblivious to her as I kept moving breaking an egg into the milk and eventually finding something that closely resembled a whisk, it however had an oval handle I suppose to get a better grip on it. Whisking the milk and egg I eventually finished it was now a smooth mixture – I poured it into the well bit by bit mixing it in with the whisk somehow I managed to get the amounts right and the mixture was a thick batter.
“We have it…” was the only response I got from Celestia she was also watching but from her seat at the table I found a large frying pan added a little sunflower oil – I assumed it was that didn’t smell like olive oil, and got stuck trying to find the on switch for the stove “You need a hoof there?” Twilight offered only to scare me half to death she was looking right over my shoulder “HOLY…” I finished the sentence under my breath to stop her hearing curse words but so far Equastria had changed my view on the show to me it was sweet and innocent and each second this seemed more real and the show seemed to be the bright and utopian place every child dreams of. I recovered from the mini heart attack “Yes, I could how do I switch this on?” Twilight giggled only to get a small polite cough from her teacher who was now trotting towards us “Dex you have no magic at all?” I simply nodded “then you would have to ask a Unicorn to do it instantly here, ask a unicorn or a potion master to create a magical storage device or in the case of these old stoves – fire them before cooking” I looked rather sheepish, at home we have the comforts of electricity and gas cooking, only in camping and BBQ’s had I had to make fire to cook food, still looking sheepish “Would you give me a hand in lighting this so we can eat now instead of half an hour?” smiling Celestia and Twilight nodded in approval.
I was told where to find wood to burn and bought back 3 pieces as asked, placing it in the stove tinder box before moving out of the way to allow Twilight to show off her magic concentrating she soon had the temperature around the wood pieces high enough to start the burning process and much hotter than I could start a fire, this was hot to cook in about 30 seconds, I placed the pan on the stove and started to pour out little circles of batter.
Around 30 of the thick pancakes had been made a little more than I usually get out of the mix and it looked weird to me but so had everything except me and my house. I watched as the princess enjoyed my pancakes and Twilight had a face of sweet bliss as she bit into each fluffy thick pancake, swallowing it down “these are really good! You should meet with Pinkie she’ll have you backing even better ones!” I smiled until the half covered stab that Pinkie’s were still better than mine popped into the sentence – my face took a noticeable turn of confusion and to this Celestia chuckled only to drink deeply from her tea as I looked to her. “Well I’ll keep that in mind when I get out ok?” realizing Twilights obliviousness, “There is one ingredient missing though” – I have a slightly sadistic mind I know its going to get me in trouble one day “we needed bacon to make this a true Canadian breakfast” both student and teacher looked confused I gulped a little worried about the reaction at the same time the same sadistic urge was screaming for me to explain just to see some horror here in this utopia for once.
“Bacon is a tender Meat, its salted and sometimes smoked for flavor, it comes from the muscles of a pig…” Twilight was the one most horrified she had an open mouth of horror and disbelief “you…you eat Pigs?” I already told you I have these teeth for a reason!” she calmed down somewhat after that then became brighter again after thinking hoof on chin and all “and pigs in your world can’t talk or understand? (Her eyes growing wide) you don’t eat ponies do you?” I could almost feel the power of an angry goddess piercing my head with her eyes I looked to Celestia she was naturally defensive and a little worried I think but logically she was calm it was only her eyes that gave me such a feeling “they do not talk nor understand simple mathematics, however you can train a pig to do little tricks they are smart as far as most creatures go on our planet but not what most humans would describe as sentient beings as I’ve said before we are the only ones we know about so far, as for ponies they’re slightly smarter and we used them for manual labor along with horses for a very long time they only ever get eaten as emergency food – most people don’t like to eat their pets” as I finished Celestia’s stare diminished and Twilight was looking at the ground taking the information in slowly “well in our world you will find nearly all land creatures are sentient to an extent, if you need protein in your diet I can only offer you fish, shellfish and certain creatures that would eat my subjects if given the chance; that’s if you are able to eat them.” Celestia spoke fairly understanding the situation and previous experience with Griffins and Dragons.

After a little more conversation about what a human needs to survive – food wise – I was teleported back to my room (I think I’m getting used to it) as Celestia had royal business to attend to and Twilight needed to greet spike before coming back to talk to me more for her research task at hand.

Author's Note

• Authors note – yes some of you will scream Mary Sue or whatever the overpowered OC is called ha-ha, anyways I will be changing to mature – Celestia’s been through my mind remember? Now a good sized chapter takes me around a day an’ a bit so I might get a chapter done each weekend – however I do have a business to run ^_^ so reviews with constructive advice will be welcome, as I currently only know one brony / pegasister in London and they are busier than I, so I’m posting blind or is it pure?
• Never mind do enjoy the story!
