Jack
I decided I would take a nap. I need to understand the gravity of this situation: God just talked to me! after I had my small nap, I took a deep breath and prepared to digest the information. I am in a room with beings never before seen and have been told to listen and learn. Its O.K., I took a deep breath, I can do this.
I will adapt.
Firth
I looked at this creature as it cried and saw a dying man in a healthy-looking body. I looked over to Trixie and asked her, "Why did we need him, why not his roommate, or anyone else? I don't understand why we needed to take him."
"We needed him because he is the only member of their species that can speak our language and have magic implanted into him. His ancestors were the ones who taught earth ponies farming, pegasi flying and unicorns magic. In the forgotten history of Equis, man was there before all others, they saved our dying race, but then they randomly went extinct, and no pony knew why. At least until I found a rip when scanning the royal palace, they were banished by a being greater than you can imagine. The only reason I know this, is because he spoke to me, he told me where and when to find Jack. The only other thing he told me, He called himself 'God'"." She told me very enthusiastically.
I responded with, "cool, then let's get to business, I have a lot to teach this hatchling."
"Trixie is glad you are still willing to help," she said with a crooked smile, then left.
I pulled up a book on the alphabet and started teaching.
Jack
When I finally stopped crying, I saw the bird-like thing get up and untie my bonds. When I got up, I noticed that it had a book in its... Claws? It opened the book and started squawking in small bursts. It gave the book to me and I looked at the page, there were symbols that I had never seen before. When I looked up again, I saw a chalkboard and it was writing on it. It was the same symbols as on the book. Then it said the glyphs very slow and pointed to each one. "Chawn, dawn, kren, hept, msst,..."
I tried to repeat the strange sounds, but when I failed, I had an idea. On the other side of the chalkboard, I started writing the English alphabet.
"This would be way better if I had my backpack," I muttered to myself.
Firth
I watched as this creature wrote symbols on the back of the chalkboard, then listened to him sound each one out. So this must be its language, but then it said something that threw me off guard.
Jack
I pointed at "a" and said, "letter" then to "b", "letter" and so on and so forth.
The thing then got up and pointed at 'a' and said, "Leddshtaer?" Then pointed at 'b' and said, "leddarrr"
He then flipped the board, and pointed at one of the glyphs.
Firth
"Letter" I said to the creature exitedly, then pointed to the next, "letter"
It tried its best at pronouncing 'letter' but barely succeeded. I told it again and it said, "ledder." Probably better than I said it in its language. It then circled the entire thing.
Jack
"Alphabet" I said circling everything, then went to 'g', "letter, letter." I started pointing at random letters and saying letter then back at the alphabet. We went on like this for an hour before giving up because of a new problem.
My stomach growled. It tilted its head as if unsure of what just happened. SHIT how to explain hunger. I spent a full two minutes like this, until I decided to throw imaginary food into my mouth.
Firth
The hell is this thing doing, I just heard a strange noise come out of its body and now it's motioning towards its mouth. I decided to point toward my beak and mimic him, if this is a normal social thing it does. I continued until it hit itself in the head and shook its head. It's face then lit up, it started drawing something on the board. It looked like a chunk of meat, with an arrow pointed toward its gullet.
That's when Trixie showed up.
Jack
"what the hell is that?" I wondered aloud, looking at a blue horse unicorn.
It started speaking to the thing in front of me and I could pick out letter and alphabet being said. Then the unicorn turned to me and showed me a plate with a couple foods drawn in pen. I saw grass, meat and what looked to be a cupcake. I circled the meat and suddenly a large uncooked slab of unknown meat appeared in front of me.
Trixie
As I started to walk away, I heard the thing yell and hurry to the chalkboard. It was drawing... something. It looked almost like magic but then I saw the full picture, it was a fire. "Oh..." I used my magic to teleport some small logs in and create a small fire, then it took a stick, cut a peace of hydra meat off the slab and roast it over the fire.
Firth
I wasn't expecting the creature to pick meat, because everypony is vegetarian. I watched as he called for a fire and cook the hydra meat. I just took bites out of the slab. We sat there in silence for a while, so I decided we would learn names while we ate, I got up and pointed toward myself, "Firth" I pointed at Trixie who was eating a salad, "Trixie." Her head popped up and then back down.
Jack
The bird thing got up and pointed toward itself. It said something so I tried to repeat it, "Fithhh, no, Frith" I looked up. Then pointed toward the unicorn, "Trickkzy."
Firth
This thing has a long way to go. It then got up and pointed toward itself, "Jack"
I pointed toward him and said, "shazk?"
Oh well, we both have a long way to go.
Trixie
"Good work today Firth, I am going to my quarters for some rest." I teleported out and pounced on my bed. Then talking to myself, "This is going to take forever." UHGGG
