//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Maybe I could start to... // by Fat1thatyoulove //------------------------------// Chapter 5 (Princess who?) You awake to a sharp jab, you let out a loud ow as you jump up from the bed. “Sorry sorry, I just needed to wake you up because it’s time to go.” Your voice is groggy as you talk “It’s fine let’s go see Princess Sirlestia.” Twilight corrects you “It’s Princess Celestia.” You nod in acknowledgement at your fail. You feel strange not being able to wake up like you usually do fast wake ups are not what your body is use to you fumble with the clothes you have worn for the last few days. “I never understood why humans where clothes all the time; we ponies only wear them for formal events.” You never really thought of her not wearing clothes before and you blush at the thought of it but quickly shove the thought out of your mind. Your glade you always have some kind of clothes on seeing as how Twilight is a girl after all you would feel really weird around her. “Are you ready to go?” Twilight’s look is very impatient “It not right to make the Princess late.” You say you’re ready. “Great the chariot is outside i'll meet you out there.” Twilight gallops down the stairs and out the front door. You follow her; you mind drifts to the thought of being pulled by talking horse it makes you laugh a bit. You walk outside and see a white and gold chariot attached to two manly looking Pegasus. You enter the chariot and stand next to Twilight, “Um you're ok with heights right?” Her question strikes you as odd and you wonder what she means by it. Your thoughts on the question are answered as the two pegasus start flapping their wings. You look at the ponies with a sense of shock and fear as they start to lift you two of the ground. There’s no way they can hold us…this is how I die you start thinking. You move closer to Twilight to frozen from your mind playing the worst possible situation to talk. She laughs at your awkward motion and start to mock you “I was away from home for weeks and I was not scared it’s just a short flight no reason to be so on edge.” You thought about bring up the fact she would cry after getting a spell wrong but you decide to just let her have this one. It’s been a few minutes of flight and you have accepted the possibility of falling to your death. You loosen up and start to enjoy the sights of being so high up. Twilight notices you have loosened up “You enjoying the view?” “I love the trip to Canterlot it calms my mind and helps me be prepared for anything she will take me with.” You really can’t see anything but clouds and you never really found clouds calming but you stroke her head in agreement. In the distant you can start to see what looks like a Willy Wonka made white city half of the city looks to be hanging off a cliff you're surprised at what ponies can build, as you start to get closer to the city you're in awe of the detail put into the city. Walls look to be made of solid rock cut perfectly and the tall towers throughout the city are marveling you wish you could stop the chariot and get a closer look at the city but you can’t. The short glimpse of the city you get to see you guess will have to do for now. The chariot comes to a stop in front of a huge structure, the building has two towers on each side, and you remember that Twilight explained how Luna and Celestia co rule the land so it’s safe to say the each have their own part of the castle. Twilight thanks the pegasus for the ride and gets off the chariot, you listen to the pony as he speaks “No problem Twilight just have the Princess send for us when you're ready to go.” You look around at all the ponies in armor; they're all staring at you, obviously you are the first human they have ever seen. You keep thinking one of them is going to walk over to you and say stop right there criminal scum or talk about how they took an arrow to the keen. You realize what you're thinking and make a mental note to throw all your elder scroll games away, if a game has poisoned your mind so bad that the first you thing you think of when you see a pony in armor is a video game that there is a problem. Twilight is half way up the staircase before you snap out of your thought. You run to catch up to her. She keeps repeating to herself “She will find nothing wrong with you if she wanted to see you then that’s a good thing.” You nudge her. “O sorry just thinking.” You follow her through the castle. There are guard ponies at almost every door. Every time you pass by them they tense up. You honestly don’t know what they would do you're much taller than anypony here. You enter a great hall with huge windows on each side of you, each window seems to have pictures of ponies on them, again you’re amazed that ponies can make glass let alone stained glass. “Princess!” Twilight bows as a White pony walks into the room. The pony is a lot bigger than the other ponies you have seen, note to self-worthy combatant. The White pony has a unicorn horn and pegasus wings and her mane and tail are a bright assortment of colors that seems to just flow on its own, again this Is something new that no other pony you have seen before has. The white pony speaks in a soft elegant tone “Rise my star pupil I’m happy to see you made it her so early.” “I would never keep you waiting Princess” You have never seen Twilight so giddy. “I assume you have been receiving my letters regarding the progress of my book.” Celestia nods. After a few more exchanges between the two of them she looks to you “And how are you human?” her royal tone makes you want to use a more sophisticated accent but knowing that Twilight would be mad you decide to just go with a simple I’m fine. Celestia goes on “As I understand you come from a world of hate and discrimination.” You found her statement strange seeing as how you remember Twilight saying you shouldn't talk about that. You’re not the only one that seems to find it strange as Twilight cuts in “Um Princess don’t you want to hear about something else?” Celestia counters her question by saying “Twilight I didn't ask you anything did I?” You’re surprised at her tone and surprised at her comment; you thought Twilight saying not to talk in less you were talked to was just her over thinking things. Twilight looks at her with a astonishment. “Are you…are you feeling ok princess?” Celestia’s tone changes back to her regal tone as she clears her throat, “Oh i'm fine Twilight now why don’t you go and study while I ask your friend a few questions.” Twilight looks at Celestia skeptically and then walks out of the room. When she’s gone Celestia says “now tell me about your home world human.” You know Twilight said not to but you don’t want to make her mad so you start talking. As you talk about your world Celestia starts to smile. You find her smile strangely creepy. After a few minutes of talking Twilight come back into the room. Celestia’s smile fades “Didn’t I say for you to leave?” Again her tone has changed. “You’re not Princess Celestia…your Queen Chrysalis.” Twilight shoots a line of purple magic at Celestia. As it hits Celestia she starts to change into a dark black form, her legs and wings start to get holes in them and she looks more like a bug then any animal you have ever seen, her colorful mane and tail change to a dull green blue color. “ha ha ha nothing gets past you Twilight” A bolt of green magic shoots from her horn and hits the doors behind Twilight, the doors slam shut. “You will never be able to take over Equestria” Twilight shouts to Chrysalis “The power of love is not yours to harness as a tool for evil, true love will always overcome your power didn't you learn your lesson from your failed attempt.” Chrysalis continues to laugh “Silly Twilight this time you’re not as smart as you think you are, this has nothing to do with Equestria this has to do with the humans.” She looks to you as she says this. You are unsure as to what to do but the years spent playing mortal kombat has prepared you on fighting plus your time spent on call of duty and watching chuck Norris movies can't hurt. Chrysalis continues to speak “Twilight those letters you were sending while you were stranded on...” She looks at you and smiles “ It’s world... the letters were not burning up they were just being sent to me.” “What does that have to do with anything” says Twilight Chrysalis “The letters from the humans world carry a new form of magic much stronger than love and tolerance, the power of hate that is in the human world is so great it can be felt through anything from there world.” She looks back to you “I thank you human you, just being around you has made me stronger and made everyone who does not embrace hate and discrimination powers weaker.” “Now that I no longer need you goodbye.” She shoots another bolt of green light… only this time the light is streaking directly towards you!
