After I finally convinced myself to play along instead of questioning my new body, I turned to Princess Celestia. "Alright, I'm ready to talk now." I announced, hoping to receive answers myself.
"If I may?" She asked in an amused manner. Is it me, or did she find me comical? Now I feel like I am being teased.
"Ask away... Celestia, was it?" I ask this hoping I don't either sound rude or like a know it all.
Then she put on an even bolder, motherly smile that was sure to leave a footprint in my memory. "You catch on rather quickly, but yes. My name is Celestia and I rule over the land in which you now reside in." And as if on instinct, she put up the face a stern leader that doesn't take anyone's shit with her voice following suit. "I must now ask if you're here with any ill intent or if you're planning anything."
I knew that I had to be serious, so that's exactly what I intended to do. "It's safe to say, seeing as I don't even know how I got here, that I bare no negative intention," then my joking side, which is sometimes a jackass, kicked in. Sometimes I just don't have any self-control. It was after she heard that she relaxed. "But I have plans." Then she was tense and shot me a look that would make Hitler run for the hills. I decided that I should speak quickly as to get myself out of the hole I just dug myself. "First I am going to explore and learn where I am. Then see what I have to do to get a place to sleep. After that I will figure out what to do from there." And as if on cue she completely relaxed both body and in spirit. I was surprised when she even chuckled a little. Ha, I'm safe for now.
"Well I'm sure I can help out with that, " she paused before continuing " I guess it's my turn to answer any question you might have." She stated with a teasing smile, which I decided to ignore my curiosity of said action because there were more pressing matters to address.
Said matter being "I can't remember shit, what happened to me?" And now that I think about it, I couldn't even remember my name. I didn't say that though, because who knows what she would do if she learned that couldn't recall a single memory. I decided to avoid thinking about it, mind set on not finding out.
Celestia now having the face that one would compare to the one of a worried mother, but only for her expression to change back to it's previous state almost instantaneously. "That is currently under investigation right now, so far there hasn't even been a single pony so far who knows who you are. Now when this was reported to me, I will admit that it captured my interest. You see, I've known every little detail of all my subjects starting from the day they were born. So imagine to my surprise when I come here to identify said pony and find that not even I could identify. There's definitely something different about you." Different. That word alone struck me hard. It hurt like a bitch, or was that just my horn again? "And any case, you growing a horn is something I haven't seen or heard of happening before." Is she telling me that I just grew this pain in the ass bone called a horn? "Yes, I did just say that."
I blinked"I just said all that out loud right?" Celestia nodded."It just got dramatically less creepy." I sighed in relief knowing that she wasn't reading my thoughts because that just wouldn't be right. "Anyway, please continue what you were saying." I recommended while trying to sound casual.
Celestia, with a pleased expression on her muzzle, from what I could guess, and continued on from where she left off. "I have a request of you, but I want to make it while the throne room of the palace with my sister, Luna, present with us."
I started to sweat a little. "Alright, sure." Celestia seems to be the best by far at picking up on these things, but it didn't her skill hear the painfully noticeable crack in my voice.
Celestia's horn glowed as a small bag, no bigger than my hoof, levitated its way to me while she said "There's no need to worry, take these and get some nourishment. When you are ready, find a guard and ask him to the palace. The guards at the front entrance will from there."
I smiled at the celestial princess with a polite "Thank you." But an attempt at grasping the bag was just an irritating reminder of my lack of hands.
