My first week was amazing in Equestria. Luna had eventually told me what she could find out about how I got here. A star-rift, or, a celestial alignment that happens once every... 1-2 trillion years. And it either needs to happen in your world, or the world you want to go to for travel to be possible. Lucky for me, the next one (here) will be in 2 hundred years... long after my death... yaaaaay... But back to my new life, it had been going good so far, great actually. The tribes-folk had accepted me early on, and I even have two friends here. Sure there was a lot of work, and sure my friends were really young (except Stella, who was older than me). But I still felt a little depressed that I'd never see my family again, they were just... ripped from me in an instant. No use dwelling on that now... anyways, I was sitting in my tent, laying down after chopping down a few trees for fire wood. Because I played minecraft back on earth, I have this habit of planting a tree after cutting one down, I did this in any and all sandbox games, so I decided to do it here as well. It would be very helpful in the long run. I laughed, thinking about how silly a habit it is to plant a tree after cutting one down.
"May I come in?" Luna's voice asked through the tent flap. I "stood up" (because these tents weren't tall enough for humans) and walked over to the flap and poked my head out. I bowed to her, then asked:
"Yes princess?" Luna smiled (she liked being shown respect... a lot).
"We are having a meeting at the bonfire to discuss our... situation." Luna said. "And it is vital that you attend."
"Why, because you need something heavy lifted?" I asked. I was double the size of the biggest ponies, so there was a joke that I was "the muscle" of the tribe. It's ironic that all this work is making me just that!
"No," Luna giggled. "Because... it is a surprise."
"Oh?" I asked, intrigued. Luna smiled, beckoning me to "come along." I stepped out of the tent, and followed her. All the others... they were acting... different. It wasn't fear... more like, respect. Did I do something without remembering it? ... Nah! That's just too far-fetched. We eventually reached the bonfire at the center of camp. Now I was getting excited. Bonfires meant that something important was happening. Luna turned to face me, and sat before the bonfire.
"ALEX ALDETORO!"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm sorry to interrupt your story, but I just want to address Alex' name.
... I completely forgot where I'd heard it before I wrote it... to the point where I thought it came from my own brain. Then a friend of mine started talking about Assassin's Creed, and I remembered.
... Let's just say: being punched by an anti brony isn't fun. We now return you to your irregularly scheduled program.
"ALEX ALDETORO!" Luna exclaimed, in her royal Canterlot voice. "YOU HAVE PROVEN YOURSELF WORTHY, AND FOR THAT WE DUB THEE," She paused, as if for dramatic effect, then continued (as impossible as it seemed) louder than before. "... CHIEF OF POLARIS!" The whole tribe present began to stomp and cheer. I smiled, and put a hand to my heart.
"Luna, I'm touched!" I exclaimed in a mock dramatic voice. "I have no choice but to accept." They stomped and cheered more. I bowed. "I did take acting in middle school." They all laughed. "... And comedy. We can all see how that turned out." They laughed some more.
Author's Note: I'm changing this to First person. Also, I put this on hiatus for a while, and I've been writing little snippets every once and a while for when I decided to make this a priority again (which I think is going to happen right now.). And finally: I vow to make each chapter longer than what they have been thus far, by (at a word minimum of) a thousand words each... except this chapter because I ran out of ideas. That should satisfy you lot, the ones that actually read this thing.
