//------------------------------// // Journal Entry #4 // Story: Johnny Powell's Personal Journal // by Nightmare_0mega //------------------------------// WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL, TWILIGHT?! Ok, so, I have just been informed by Sparkly Ass that she sent a letter to her monarch, Princess Celestia, informing her about my presence! SERIOUSLY?! You couldn't keep that hush-hush for a little longer? I've JUST settled down, and now I'm given just one more thing to dread. I'm an illegal ALIEN from another goddamned dimension that has a REAL bad case of various mental problems INCLUDING paranoia. Who knows what the fuck this princess will do to me! Will I be interrogated? Tortured? Will they use me in experiments they don't want to do on actual citizens? WILL I BE EXECUTED FOR JUST BEING HERE? Will they take kindly to the fact that, being formerly human and all, I'm more of a carnivore than herbivore? That last one is probably a big fat NO! So, as of writing this, I've already locked myself up in my room, and hid under the bed. As if that would stop them from coming to get me, but it's the FEELING of security that counts right now. I can hear Twilight beating on the door, trying to get me to come out to talk about this, but I've told her she lost her privilege of friendly chat the moment she started writing that letter. Yeah, she's been apologizing profusely, and had not only stated that she thought it was the right thing to do, but also that the princess might be able to help, but that's not worrying me right now! From what I've read and heard, Celestia is pretty much a goddess, if that can be believed, and if I haven't stated that already in a previous entry. I'm still hard pressed to believe it, but with everything that has been going on lately, I have been a little more inclined to change my mind on the matter. Suppose she is pretty much a divine entity? Fine, but that raises a new concern. What if she's like that stuck up, violent as all hell, wrathful, vengeful, awful BITCH, the Angelus!? I have been lucky enough that I've NEVER needed to deal with that (only having to deal with Jackie and the super powered opposite called the Darkness, whom is JUST as crazy, violent, wrathful, and awful) and I was wanting to keep that unknown for a little longer. I heard something touch down on the ground outside, and hear lots of heavy hoof-falls, voices, and metal clacking against each other. I DARE not take a peek lest I be seen. I can hear Twilight actually go outside. Oh dear god, they are entering the library! THEY ARE COMING UP THE STAIRS! Oh, PLEASE GOD, or ANYONE THAT HEARS MY THOUGHTS AND INTERNAL SCREAMING, SAVE ME BEFORE THEY BEAT DOWN THA So... uh... something strange happened... Just before they were able to beat down the door, a flash of light enveloped me and I wound up outside, still huddled close to the ground as if I were still under the bed. Before me was Princess Celestia herself. I could barely even squeak in surprise, but she just kinda stood there, giving me this warm smile... It kinda reminded me of my own mother. Then she told me it was all going to be ok, and she just had a few questions for me. What she wanted to ask was surprisingly tame. My name, where I came from, if i'm hurt, and if I intend to hurt anyone. I told her my name, that I was from a different dimension and I got here by accident, that I'm a little starved but alright, and I'm FAR too weak and skittish to WANT to be confrontational with anyone. I mean, I wrestle with the thoughts in my head as it is, and that's more than enough for me to take on. She then gave me another smile, told me I was welcome to Equestria, and told me that if I ever need anything, just ask. Also, apparently, she will do everything in her power to send me back home when she can, so that's rather uplifting. After Twilight and the guards that had come to get me realized I wasn't in my room anymore, they rushed back down the library and back outside to find me at Celestia's hooves. The guards were ready to jump me, but she halted them, saying everything that happened today wasn't necessary. If the Angelus were like that, I'd have a TOTALLY different respect for it rather than the crippling, pants browning fear I normally do. Anyway, she also told me that If I wish to continue to conduct my research outside of the town, all I'd need to do is ask Twilight to send a letter, and a chariot would be sent to me. Honestly, this whole thing kinda feels like being back with Jackie... except, ya know, alot more hospitable, and no one is looking at you like you're some sort of sideshow. After she finished assessing the situation, she and her guards took off once again, leaving me behind with Twilight. I told Twilight that I do NOT want to talk to for for a little while, and I'd be going back to my room now to be alone. So, here I am, back in my room, writing all of what just happened to me no more than ten minutes ago, an honorary guest and officially welcomed to their land, and I have another chance at getting home. In the meantime, I have the world at my beck and call, and more than enough time to conduct more research. I mean, hey, a world filled with magic and potentially magical and powerful artifacts, and I have the keys to basically go wherever and do whatever. What occultist can pass that up?
