The train ride was extremely boring, the walk to the castle was extremely boring, the talk to the cook about my dietary requirements was boring and being shown to my room was not extremely but extraordinarily boring. The bed was soft, warm and made me tired. Sadly before I could pass into the sweet abyss a knock on the door and a voice yelled, “The Diplomatic Diner begins in five moments sir.” You know, I never understood why every other word in the English language is the same but minutes is called moments I probably never will understand it. Anyway I stood and got dressed in the nicest clothes which was a deep red shirt, faded blue jeans and black tennis shoes.
I stepped out the door and spoke, “Please lead the way Sergeant Bitterroot.” With a node of his head we were off. The halls were the same marble as everything else, the windows at different intervals which pissed me off greatly. But that was the only problem until I got to the dining room. As I entered I saw around a couple of different species, zebras, minotaurs, griffons, deer, human, and a black pony like thing. Also a pink pegacorn was there along with a white unicorn.
As I looked at them the griffon female met my eyes, like with everyone else on this damn planet I have to stare at them when I meet them. I stared and she stared, how did I know she was a she? Simple, tits but why did a bird need tits? Well the lower part is a lion so maybe that's why but then again I have no fucking clue.
The meeting room was a bore, I yearned for something exciting. The prey were boring and didn't want to talk to an apex predator like me. But without socializing I feel that is go insane. The heavy wood door opened and entered a very tall human, but something was different about it physically and something about it that you can't put off. It gazed around the room until it saw me. Our eyes locked and I saw what was different about him. His eyes spoke the cold calculated ones of another apex predator. I stared back, it's facial expression never changed so I started to glare. Still nothing changed until it leaned forward in an attempt to put me in a state of fear. Well ha two can play this game!
I leaned forward now, this time it's facial expression changed to show a row of sharp teeth overlapping another possibly sharper row of teeth. In a vain attempt I made the muscles in my beak go upwards to appear more threatening. This caused a greater reaction than me leaning forward, it laughed a deep laugh. It pounded the table with a clinched hand, laughing harder. Soon it hit the floor no longer laughing but it kept its mouth open for all to see the white sharp gangs it possessed chest rising and shakily falling like it was still laughing. The Changling Queen looking on in interest, the human King and deer princess fainted in fear, the minotaur warrior king looked on interested, while the Crystal Empire rulers shrank back behind the mighty Equestrian rulers.
“Thanks for the laugh, I needed something actually entertaining for once. I grabbed the corner of the table and pulled itself up. Curiously the pseudo human had tears in its eyes. Wiping them before he sat down he spoke jutted its meaty hand out to my body hand outstretched a traditional Griffonian greeting. I took it delicately and he shook it up before he said his name. “My name is Alexander Kovalyov and you are?”
“Christi, ambassador of Griffonia!” I scream with all my might. The others cover their ears but he just smiled.
“A pleasure to meet you,” with a final down motion we let go and sat in the seats next to each other. He looked at the agenda and smiled, I looked at my own agenda and saw that extraterrestrial matters were up first.
“Alright everyspecies, settle down we have much to discuss.” Any that weren't sitting already sat. “The first thing on the menu is to meet our exterestrial sitting over there.” His hand came from the table up and he waved at their dumbstruck faces. “If you would introduce yourself.” Sadly that didn't go to plan as the Minotaurian King spoke out of line.
“If you come for war we surrender, if you come for peace then surrender or be destroyed!”
My brain was extremely confused, “Uhh I didn't come here willingly but anyway my name is Alexander Kovalyov I come from the Diplomatic Oligarchy of Sol Three. I was tasked with exploring the Galaxy even though we believed that we were the only intelligent life out there. But we had a new found hope that couldn't be destroyed and we marched on. I crashed here when an unexpected gravity spike hit my ship and caused me to crash and I've been documenting a lot.”
“Is there a way for your specie to pick you up?” Spoke the quiet deer princess.
“I tried that but I discovered a problem, my long range radio transmitter is busted, along with my engines, and I can't fix it. But the short wave radio transmitter is fine but will only reach four other solar systems before dissipating. But since the people of this world have magic I was hoping for assistance, if I can get to your planet’s moon I could set up the short wave and with magic amplify the signal to contact my people and they can help everyone.”
“By help everyone what do you mean?”
“Trade. Knowledge for knowledge, quality of life, and hopefully build a lasting friendship.”
The human King this time spoke up, “What do you mean by knowledge?”
“Simple, space travel.” With those words started an uproar. The guards were on edge while the alien human was holding his hands up, “Please calm down! I can describe it in detail later with all your scientists! Just wait until the meeting is over!”
I was breathing heavy, trying to calm down from the uproar I caused with saying space travel. With me calmed down I saw servants come in with trays of food. Most of it salads, one pink crystal, and two slabs of meat. The two big differences were mine was cooked and the size of my hand(with a side of chopped mushrooms) while Christi’s was the size of my head and bloody raw. I gag as she grabs it and tears into it, I simply grab a set of silverware. The simple knife enters the meat and the fork holds it in place, cutting a piece off I eat enjoy the taste. I look up from my food and see the herbivores staring at me, but I don't dilly dally. The small steak like meat is gone and I start on the small side of mushrooms. The food was pretty damn good but the small talk was incredibly dull, I hope Blue and Woodie are doing alright.
