Letters from Blitzen: A Story of the Kirin Colt.

by Will of Haphinea


Miss Rarity's Boutique, & Meeting the Librarian and Teacher

"Ok lil Blitzy. My sister is over at Applejack's farm for the day. She and her friends will be back later tonight, and I am sure that you four will have a nice time! However, I need you to clean all this up." She pointed her hoof up towards the piles of clothes and materials that were everywhere all over the furniture! Blitzen was beginning to think he should have been spanked better, this mess was huge, and he wasn't the best organizer around.

"After that, I shall allow you to go drop these books of at Twilight's and give these letters to the mailmare! Although she should be here any minute after I leave. Take care, and no need to rush my lil colt. Do you have any questions about your tasks or anything? I have a spa treatment with Fluttershy and Miss Shield soon!" she crooned to the colt.

"Nope, not really. But I had an unrelated question regarding earlier this morning, and something with Miss Dash, if I may ask." Blitzen said. She nodded her head, and allowed him to continue. "Well, I would like to apologize to you about that butter, I was eating earlier...I just didn't know Ponies did not do that. I also, wished to ask if Sweetie was still upset with me. I told her...I ate meat before, and I know you all don't eat it, but our Griffon neighbors love making it! I just wanted to apologize for scaring her."

At the reminder of the butter incident Rarity held back a gag in a ladylike manner, but the moment the colt mentioned 'eating meat?!?' She had to excuse herself for a few moments. "Excuse me, I was already feel nauseated my dear. Yes, she seemed mad, but at least you know why. If you could be a dear darling. Don't mentioned what you said to other ponies, alright? Celestia knows not all Ponies are all forgiving as meat-eating Griffons." she shuddered at the thought.

"What is your other question? I admire how open you are to learning my dear! if only Sweetie could do the same!" Rarity said, and gave Blitzen the courage to ask what he wrote to Kellie. She would soon regret her own words.

"Well, Miss Dash was made earlier after a miscommunication. I shan't divulge the details, but she was surprised to learn that Ponies and Griffons could mate. I, of course, told her in as much detail as she needed, the process in which the aroused female pony could foreseeably impregnate a Griffon, or vis-a-versa! However, after I informed her of such a thing, she took off flying really nervously. I guess my question is...Do Ponies here have a level of embarrassment towards talk of sexual intercourse? I mean, I may be young, but..." Blitzen paused as he noticed Rarity's deep red face, and her utter shock at the impropriety of what was just asked of her.

Rarity though about what she knew about sex itself, and when only a few scenes from a saucy book came to mind, but replaced with her sister and this colt, she fainted. Blitzen rushed towards her and laid her on the couch, when Silhouette came by and greeted little Blitzen. "Hey kid! Um, what happened? Did the drama-queen faint again?" she asked, and began picking the white Unicorn up to take her to the spa. After all, she wasn't about to pay for it!

"Yes, I don't get it, I just asked her a question about...well.." the Kirin then proceeded to repeat the story. Unlike Rarity or Rainbow Dash, Silhouette was born without a filter between her mouth and brain. Well, perhaps not fully in Rainbow Dash's case. As such, this lead to a lot of answers that sometimes made either little sense, or, more often than not, were very inappropriate.

Somehow, the following answer was both of these. "The buck are you asking, boy?!? You accused that rainbow-mare of getting a Griffon friend of hers pregnant! Like KNOCKING HER UP! OF COURSE she flew away nervous! Now Miss Uppity has fainted, and I swear, if I can't smooth it over, you can kiss your little filly-friend goodbye! I truly hope you find joy in stroking your...WHAT AM I SAYING!?!" she said as her eyes FINALLY registered what she was saying, the Kirin colt cried and ran upstairs. She took the drama queen on her back, and had to smooth things over now, or face a very sad and possibly vengeful sister Kirin. "Buck me against the wall..."


The colt Kirin hated himself. Not only did it seem he insult the pretty rainbow-maned hair Pegasus, he insulted the Sister of his future special somepony, AND he now made Silhouette, that coolest mare he knew, extremely angry at him. He couldn't help but cry, but then he heard a knock at the door. He came down the stairs carefully, and opened the door, to find a single grey Pegasus mare holding a large box, trying to balance it on her back. Being as gentle pony as he possible could that day, which was very hard in his mind, he helped the mare bring the box inside, but as soon as she smiled at him to sign for delivery, he jumped into her hooves, and cried more.

Derpy really didn't understand what was going on. Normally, when she had delivered a package, she would get a brief thanks, and perhaps a happy response, but this lil colt was crying as if his whole world had collapsed around him. She hugged him back, but felt scales as she hugged him. Although certainly not the smartest pony in Ponyville, Derpy love legendary creatures, and knew right away what he was. "OH MY GOSH! You are a Kirin! You do exist! Wow, can I have your autograph, or I mean for me, because you do still have to sign for this! I didn't know Miss Rarity and Spike made a baby already!" She hugged him tightly, and he finally snapped out of his sadness, as he did start to feel appreciated.

"I am yes! I am so glad you like me, Miss...oh my, your eyes!' he said. The blonde mare was very defensive about her eyes, but Blitzen was fascinated. She was about to give him a piece of her mind, when he said one of the sweetest things she ever heard. "Thine eyes art BEAUTIFUL! WOW! I love them! Thou art so beautiful, thou should be...a model, or whatever! Thine flanks are very nice too!" he said to her. She had heard that last line as a flirtation before by some unhomely stallions, but as she saw the sweet colt cover his mouth and beg forgiveness for being so blunt.

She hugged him, and kissed his cute forehead. "Ahem, just sign here, please! Oh, any letters?" she asked, trying to be professional. He grabbed his letter and explained how to deliver mail to 'Hope's Asylum' by asking for Hermes in Cloudsdale. As he didn't have any postage on hand for his letter, he gave her about five of his sobs, hoping that would cover his postage, which she was very happy to receive. He also handed over Miss Rarity's letters, and said thanks. Before she left, he asked her name, and she simply blushed and said, "Derpy" before crashing into a nearby sign.

He felt bad for her, but she took off sometime after that. He resumed his duties, partly inspired by another uniquely beautiful mare in town. He promised himself he would talk to Sweetie about it. He wasn't a cheat or anything, in fact, he didn't have feeling for those he saw as pretty or beautiful, but he couldn't help but stare. Sister told him his mind would do that one day, and to try to ignore it. He did so, and went back to cleaning.

=============================================================================

A couple hours later, the mess was dealt with. He did go and have a snack from Miss Rarity's fridge a while back, but he felt he deserved a little reward. He was very excited to go to the Library, and talk to the Librarian about his home town, and maybe find this Twilight Sparkle he heard about too! "A student of the Princess must be smart!" he said as he left, and secured the shop. He had a key that Rarity had dropped when she fainted, and went to the large tree library in the middle or the town.

He could have swore he heard arguing in a building he passed that sounded like Sillie, but he ignored it, and knocked on the door to the tree building. He was very fascinated with it, and was told to come in by a sweet sounding voice. He entered the building and smiled at the purple Unicorn in front of him, and a pink Earth Pony mare that was talking to her. "Excuse me, I am Blitzen, and I am caring for Miss Fluttershy's animals while she is on her trip. I came from Hope's Asylum, and was told to speak to the head Librarian here about giving thine place a special book on our history! May I speak to her, Miss?" Blitzen spoke nervously, like he was saying something prepared.

The pink mare smiled and was whispering something in the Unicorns ear, When she spoke up soon after. "Hello, I am Miss Cheerilee! The local teacher of Ponyville's school! I am so excited to meet a respectful young colt as thyself Blitzen!" she stressed the thy part of her speech when the Unicorn corrected her.

"I believe it is thineself, but I haven't studied old Equestrian in a while! Hello, I am the head Librarian, Twilight Sparkle! Please, I would love to see this book you brought us." she said. Before she could grab the book with her magic, the colt bent down on his legs, and kissed both mares right front hoofs, and bowed a bit in respect for Miss Sparkle.

"It is indeed an honor to meet thee, student of the Princess! I hath travelled to Ponyville admittedly for a visit to the most fair Unicorn of all, Miss Sweetie Belle, but I am humbled to meet!" he finished and rose to his feet.

Both mares stood in silence, blushing slightly as the young colt kissed them, and Miss Sparkle in particular blushed initially as she assumed the most beautiful of all Unicorns was Rarity or somepony else. Needless to say, she and Miss Cheerilee were shocked and both said, "SWEETIE BELLE!?!"


The colt excitedly told his story about what the Cutie Mark Crusader had done while the Elements were away, something that Twilight must have missed since none of the CMCs were her sisters. Miss Cheerilee sat with Twilight listening to the story as well, and was very impressed on the colt's command of the language, and information about his town's history, and even the technical speech about the Tori-Coil.

"...and that's how and why I ended up here. Admittedly, I wished to visit you Miss Sparkle eventually after making friends my own age, but I had to face mine punishment. I certainly shan't be sneaking behind Miss Rarity's back again!" Both mares asked what he meant, and he casually explained what he and little Sweetie Belle had been caught doing.

"See, Miss Sparkle! It is situations like that I am trying to avoid! I am not accusing you or Sweetie, Blitzen, of any dishonorable conduct, but I do believe we need a sexual education course in Ponyville! I mean, so many have Cutie Marks already, who knows how long it'll take before some of the fillies enter...um." She carefully motioned to Twilight who knew what she was talking about, but Blitzen, being the always naive, decided to share what he thought she was trying to communicate.

"Oh, yes, Fillies generally entered their first Estrus cycles shortly after their Cutie Marks often appear. Of course, the exceptions seem to be Mules and Zorses, who cannot breed, as well as HippoGriffs, who start about two to three years before their Cutie Marks may appear, due to the Griffon body genetics." Blitzen was proud to add that knowledge of his HippoGriff brothers and sister to the two mares, but they were both shocked to hear such information coming from a colt so young looking.

"Mr Blitzen! Who told you about that?!? You are far too young to know the facts of life!" Miss Cheerilee said. Twilight casually objected stating she learned early too, but then the Kirin spoke up.

"I learned over sixty years ago, when I was half mine present age. You see, I am a Kirin!" He had forgotten to mention that fact as he entered the library, and upon hear that, both teacher and librarian jumped up and felt the scales, and not fur, that lined the small colt in front of them.

"How did...the Princess never told me about there still being Kirins! OH MY this is wonderful news! Blitzen, would you mind if I asked some questions about you?" Twilight began to grab scrolls, quills, and inkwells as fast as she could. "Where is Spike! I told him to come down an hour ago! SPIKE!"

Miss Cheerilee was shocked as well. These were creatures of legends, and even romances of dragons and ponies mating years back! She was fascinated, and realized the time was growing late. "Blitzen, I would love to have you come by the schoolhouse as a guest! I believe it'll be fun for you, and you can meet kids of your age..I mean, your maturity! But I did have one question before I go. Do you have a Cutie Mark? I can't see one."

Blitzen charged up his electrical energy just as Twilight brought down a tired young dragon. Spike was taking a nap upstairs and Twilight needed him to record everything about this new creature! She was about to ask him to write what he was doing, when Spike noticed the new pony, and offered his claw to shake. "Hey I am Spike, who are--"

"Please young Dragon, don't touch-" he tried to say, but the electricity jumped to the poor scaled creature. "OH MY! Please, it was an accident I am sorry Miss Sparkle, I didn't mean to hurt him!"

"It's ok, I am sure he's ok, his scales protected him from tougher stuff before so--Blitzen? BLITZEN!" Twilight called, but he fell hyperventilating. Combined with the stress of today's earlier events, he couldn't take the thought of hurting someone physically, on top of all those he may have hurt emotionally.

Cheerilee commanded Twilight to go get help as she held the colt in her hooves. "Breathe young one, breathe with me! It'll be ok. I promise you, you had a long day! " she repeated over and over. While she did this, she noted the scars, and made a note to bring it up later to Twilight. Pinkie Pie arrived from nowhere, and said she felt a doozy, and saw both Spike and her Kirin buddy on the ground. She rushed to Spike, as Cheerilee was holding her colt, and she started to tear up.

"It's all my fault! I felt a doozy a few minutes ago, but thought it was my Kirin cupcakes bruning! I am so sorry I wasn't here for you guys, Cheerilee!" She stroked Spike, who was waking up about the time she started to cry.

"Pinkie, what happened, all I remember was this bright pony, and... Oh my gosh, what happened to him? Did I do that?" The young dragon asked.

"No, he accidently shocked you as he showed his Cutie Mark for Twilight. We had no idea he had to cycle that much power to show his mark. I blame myself for aski--"she was interrupted by a team of medics who came and took the young colt to the hospital, that Twilight had called over to help.

"Please, I don't know much about Kirin biology, but please be careful around his horn and fur! It may still hold a small electrical charge!" Twilight passed on to the medics, who rushed him to the hospital as quick as they could.

"Spike, I am so sorry for waking you up like that, and sorry I put you in a situation like that! I am so clumsy, please forgive me!" she begged her assistant, who smiled back at her.

"It's ok, Twilight, but don't you think we should write the Princess about this? I mean, what if pony medicines don't work on...whatever he is." he said. Needless to say, twilight had wrote a quick letter to the Princess with huge URGENT written all of it. Spike was happy to send it as soon as he could.

"He's a Kirin, Spike. I guess his mother was a Dragoness, and his father was some sort of Unicorn guard or..Spike?" Twilight asked the young dragon, but she soon realized what information she gave to him.

You mean, a dragon and pony can...make foals too? I don't know if I want one now, but if Rarity ever wants one...! His mind thought, picturing a white and green mixed Kirin in his head. He was so happy with this information, but Twilight snapped him out of it.

"You are way too young to make me an aunt, Spike!" she said, and took him to the hospital.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I write this as fast as I can as a little Kirin named Blitzen was visiting our Library today when Spike touched him while he was showing us his charge-up and Cutie Mark! Spike is fine, but Blitzen is currently not breathing well. We need information on how to best treat this colt!

I am sorry for the lateness of this letter.

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight Sparkle
