Discovered - 6
By Bruhlookit

Elli stretches his arms and legs as he and Celestia step away from the carriage. In the time between Elli emptying his bowels and the carriage touching down on the soil- The Human had the time to explain his long past of motion sickness and how moving vehicles and shaking in general had made him sick to his stomach.

With a military escort in tow Celestia and her human companion made their way into town. Elli’s gaze moves to Celestia, a nostalgic look washing over her face as the two of them make their way past various buildings in the small town.

As the two stop to acquaint themselves with the towns small roads and alleys, Celestia feels a small tug on her mane before her gaze shifts down to Elli. 

“Princess, this might be a bad time but I have to use the bathroom for the first time in what seems like forever.” He says to her, his legs crossed and his free hand holding onto his center once more. 

Celestia chuckles lightly as she looks to one of her guards and beckons for them to come closer. As the guard reaches his grand destination, Celestia leans down and whispers something into their ear.

Almost as quickly as they’d made their way to Celestia’s side, Elli found that he now had a private guard at his side. As charming as having a guard at his side was, it satiated his need to urinate no more than a stale bagel would to a starving man’s hunger.

“Thanks for the Escort Celestia.” He says to her, giving a two fingered salute.

What Elli had not anticipated was using the bathroom in a world that was not his own- was the difference in toilet type. Celestia was right to assume that Elli had a basic understanding of plumbing, and how to use toilets in general.

A confusing half hour later and Elli was escorted back to Princess Celestia’s side, a look of discomfort on his face.

“I trust that you had no trouble using an equestrian bathroom?” She says, her normal Princess smile still holding.

Elli’s arms crossed over his chest, the new robes she’d given him wafting with the movement of his appendages. “It was an experience I will no doubt have to learn from.”

His eyes shoot down to the ground.

“I did my best to clean up after myself- considering your kind doesn't really use conventional TP.” He says with a disdained look.

Celestia chucked at this, covering her mouth with a single hoof.

The duo along continued along Celestia’s route- to make sure that everything was going smoothly and according to plan during this years summer sun celebration. The further into town the two of them got, the more Elli noticed that all of the ponies around him had begun to kneel down at the mere sight of Celestia.

‘Talk about deity’ Elli thought to himself. 

Before he’d even realized it himself, Celestia and Elli were now standing in front of the tallest building in town.

“We’ve reached town hall.” She says now looking down to her guardsponies. “I’d like you all to establish a perimeter around this building; however my pet shall stay at my side at all times.” She says as a matter of fact.

Before Elli could even blink, the guards once seemingly attached to Celestia by the hip were now gone. Perhaps he’d underestimated and misjudged the cute and cuddly ponies by their adorable exterior?
“An active militaristic threat would warrant such behavior out of guards, and she did mention something about the Gryphon Empire, but what are the chances of an attack at this specific time of day in this extremely specific spot of the country? Even if someone did launch a strike on Equestria wouldn't there be adverse effects on the universe in an entirety?” Elli thought to himself.

“That’s quite the train of thought you have, my dear Elli.” Celestia says, her smile unwavering.

The human could feel his cheeks heat up in embarrassment, he’d been thinking out loud again. Celestia nuzzled his cheek gently before making eye contact with him. “Today we do not worry about such threats as the Gryphon empire. I’d forgotten to mention the fact that some of my little ponies can be…” Celestia paused for a second before looking up in thought- her hoof tapping her chin. “Fanatical.” The alicorn says bluntly.

“Oh.” was all Elli could manage to muster from his still embarrassed state of mind. Now he sort of understood more. They continued on into what Elli assumed to be Town hall. “I guess I understand that, we had situations like that back on Earth in more instances than one can count.” He says finally breaking out of his stupor.


Celestia lets a shallow sigh escape from under her breath as they approach a front desk looking area. The entire building had Elli in awe honestly: It's interior was dome shaped almost like the sistine chapel was, except instead of fancy thousand year old art there were flags and banners of all sorts hanging from every angle. Balconies lined the perimeter what Elli assumed to be the top floor of the building which was directly below the beginning of the dome- almost like a cockpit theatre.

At the comparably small front desk was a stark white pony wearing black rimmed glasses, her mane and assumingly tail a solid brown- a color almost directly matching Elli’s hair color.

“Hello Raven Inkwell.” Celestia says as she approaches the front desk.

The white mare looks up and lets out a whinney of surprise- well at least to Elli she did. After a few more whinneys and unintelligible horse noises- Celestia responds. 

“No, I am not here to check on Rarity- that role is for another pony. Today I am here to check in with Mayor Mare on the other preparations that need to be in order for the Celebration.” She says, the first part of her sentence more cryptic than the latter. 

Elli decided he wouldn't look too deeply into it.

Another moment later and the human had followed his alicorn companion through two very large doors which were very well placed behind the front desk. They’d been so well placed and blended in with the rest of the wooden walls so well that Elli wouldn’t have noticed them unless the shiny golden knobs were protruding from them.

The entire encounter with ‘Mayor Mare’ went faster than Elli had expected. Some paperwork for Celestia to sign here, an exchange of words there, and they were done before he knew it.

“So Celestia, run me through what just happened within the last few moments.” Elli says looking at the Alicorn with an inquisitive look.

Celestia giggles as they exit the building together through the front doors. The two of them stop before Celestia looks at Elli with a gentle smile.

“Every year I hold a festival for my little ponies to celebrate the glory and prosperity of Equestria.” She begins. “I needed to make sure that all of the strings being pulled behind the scenes were tight enough; however this year will be different therefore I must make extra preparations.”

Elli’s eyebrow launches from its resting position. “How so?” He says, his tone practically flooding with curiosity.

“Spoilers my dear Human.” Celestia says, raising a hoof and touching Elli’s nose gently. “All that you must know for now, is that I have everything under control.” 

This makes Elli uncomfortable, but he feels like he's not going to be able to pry anymore out of her right now.

“If you say so pretty pony.” He says flicking her hoof away from his nose lightly. It was no secret that she was hiding something from him- and the Human knew that with a supreme being such as herself, Celestia was going to keep secrets.

The Alabaster colored Alicorn turned away from Elli and began trotting towards her next destination, her mind focusing on the inevitability of the events to come.
