//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 : Cliché's upon Cliché's // Story: Transferred as a Limited God to a World full with Colorful ponies // by WinterStormed //------------------------------// Sweeping Star, one of the many personal maids of Luna There I was, being submerged into the soapy water against my will. At first I accepted the idea of bathing again since 1) I don't know how to in this pony body and 2) I don't want my head rolling just because I smelled funny. Does not hurt to be certain. But...this is overdoing it. "Get that torture device away from me !" "Stay still !" Sweeping Star said. "And it's a brush not a torture device." I gasped for air as foam went all over my face. "I'm clean enough ! Are you trying to wash my skin off ??!!" "Stop moving !" Sweeping Star shrieked. "You'll get soap in yo-" "Ahhhhhhh!!!! My eyes, they burn !" My hooves immediately went to rub my eyes. With Sweeping Star leaning at the edge of the pool and my sudden movements along with the fact that her lright hoof was leaning on my back. It caused her to fall into the pool, onto me. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" *Splash !* Sweeping Star's POV "Haaaaaaaa." I gasped for air. This stallion really is a hoof full. I sighed as I put my body against the pool wall. Normally, slaves would jump to have a bath since they rarely if not at all have the chance to. It's also understandable for slave's not knowing how to bath. So it was quite perplexing to watch him squirm from my reach. I felt my face heat up. I never actually talked to a stallion before as they were rare and were often taken away by the wealthy. By Celestia..... I covered by burning face. I was in the Princess bathing pool with a stallion. *Splash !* "Ahhhhh, the soaps gone." Emerging out of the water came out the Stallion in question. "Eeeep !" I said startled by his appearance in front of me. He was extremely close. My back was against the wall, his head towering over mine looking down, his green eyes sparkling. His body brushing against mine. "Sorry about that...." He said, with a sheepish smile. "T-There's nothing to be sorry about." I said as I looked away. My wings were threating to pop up again. "You clean enough to entertain an audience with the princess." Escape from this situation quickly ! I stood up. " Let's get you out of thi-" My front hoof lost grip against the pool floor. "Ahhhhhhhh !" *Thump* "Got you Sweeping Star !" chuckled the Stallion. " It seems you have a falling streak today." Why is his fur so soft ? My head was against his chest that was slowly moving in a rhythm. "N-No ! The floor was slippery." I pushed him away as I quickly exited the pool. "D-D-Don't forget to dry and brush yourself ! Princess Luna will be coming around noon ! " I slammed the bathroom door. "That was so embarrassing ! Eek ! I'm wet ! " I looked at the carpet I was messing with soap water. How am I going to explain this to the head maid ?" End of Sweeping Star's POV *Slam !* Did I do something wrong ? I chuckled at her behavior. Her nervousness reminded me about my past self. I frowned. Did my tease hurt her ? It was just a slight joke. Maybe she's really sensitive. I got out of the bathing pool. I'll apologies when I meet her again. For now, I need to dry myself. After drying and combing myself to the best of my ability I exited the bathroom. What am I supposed to do till noon ? It appeared to be around midday. I scanned the room. The bed was a big no-no. I shuddered at the thought of the Princess catching me in her bed. Actually, what can I do ? This is a Royal bedroom, I can't afford to break or tamper with anything here..... A bookcase, in the corner of the room. Bingo ! Might as well read up on any information on this world. I lost the chance to talk to Sweeping Star about it but in hindsight it was probably was best I did not. She would have thought I was crazy or something. Plus I'm good with books. I know how to handle them with care. It would be a bit difficult since I would not have my fingers this time round but I'll manage. Now. Which book should I read ? Hmmmm. Ah ! 'Our Nation : Via Lactea by Poised Quill' Assuming by the title, it was obviously referring to the kingdom I was in. This would be a good place to start. I opened the book with, unfortunately my mouth, and began to read. " Our Nation, Our Kingdom. A Kingdom called Via Lactea named after our founding mother, Queen Aura Daybreak. She rules this blessed nation alongside her two daughters, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna....." Huh. Is this a relatively new Kingdom ? I continued to read. "..... protecting our nation for more than thousands of years....." Is this a misprint ? What edition is this ? "..... from the heretic nations and other evils. But it is not only protection or their just rulings, no. Princess Celestia ensures the sun wakes in due time for us to work, to see. To provide day. While her younger sister, Princess Luna, provides a illuminating white sphere during the dark and stars to guide the lost. Our beloved Queen ensures our crops receive pure sunlight and blocks the harmful rays and keep dark spirits at bay from entering our sleep. They are Alicorns. Goddesses among mortal ponies." What the heck ? My brain was scrambled. I thought this was a factual book. I flipped to the back of the book. where a description of the author should be. "Ah, there it is. Professor Poised Quill, leading Historian of the Via Institute........... " "......" My mind's gears were grinding, processing the fact that whatever I read was not fantasy but Factuality. I sighed as I opened the book again. I'm already living in a fantasy anyway, so I should not question it, ignoring the fact I became a slave to talking colorful pony who controls the moon. Ah, I think I'm going crazy. I honestly should have watched the my little pony tv series because If I did, It would have been much easier for me to take this all in. With that I decided to close the book. I don't have the basic knowledge to take all of this in. Once again I scanned the bookcase. [The 4 Nations and Our Relations to them by Poised Quill] The same guy again. This time I sat down, pony style, I was standing previously. I was determined to read this book. I then began read.
