University Council Hall
Second Floor Meeting Hall.
Canterlot, Equestria
Lyra was feeling figity since finishing her disertation regrding her recent findings in Stalliongrad, and she also heard mumbles from the University Board of Directors with the major scientists and doctors in many other feilds, not just her own, argue, discuss, and bicker about her findings for nearly three hours straight since she gave her speech in the Theater downstairs.
Just when she felt all was hopelessly lost, the door opened and one of the board directors coughed politely. "Uh...Ms. Heartstrings? We are...ready to receive you." He looked sick with stress and his throat must have been nearly shot from shouting at the others within.
"Oh," Lyra spoke in somber tones. "Th-thank you." She walks in, and sees nearly half the room was darkly looking at her, as if the old rules of science have been nearly eradicated by her discovery. Oh boy.... Lyra thought to herself. This must be a expulsion hearing now, rather than a reward ceremony.
"Ms. Heartstrings, don't be worried now dear." Spoke the farthest stallion from her on the table. "Although you have really shaken up the whole world with your findings and proof that these...Homo Sapiens....Humans, have lived here before our written history was first written, it does make many of us....unnerved."
"Is...Am I being expelled from the University for it?" Lyra dreaded what was she thought, was an affirmation of her fears.
"No Ms. Heartstrings, not a Expulsion, but a bigger expenditure by this University Board for more digs of possible human homesteads in and around Equestria." The head of the Board said with a hoof to Lyra for a shake. "You, my dear Doctor Lyra, have found our 'Missing Link'!"
Lyra coulden't have belived it, and after she shook the director's hoof and the rest clapped in response, while her opponents only grumbled, she now had more money than before, and the wedding plans with Bon-Bon, could at last come true. "Th-Thank you sir, and belive me, if it weren't for this...'Thomas' human, then I would've been looking into other sciences."
And now, for something during this...
As the night grew old, the one stallion that gave a damn about his old journal being dug up, was resting on a tree branch near the window looking at Lyra and the University Board. "Well Lyra, at least my old huma life, is at long last, known to you and the world." Sithmane Bloodvold, formerly 'Thomas of Earth', now took off, heading into the night, to sing his old tunes from Earth. "Yo-ho, yo-ho, A stallion's life for me~"
