//------------------------------// // Chapter 12 // Story: Falling // by Angels //------------------------------// Chapter 12 We went up the stairs, down a hallway, down some stairs, turn, more hallway, more stairs, then the last hallway. At the end of this one were the two princesses, Celestia and Luna. I bowed as we reached them. "Twilight Sparkle! My most faithful student! It is good to see you again!" "And you, princesses!" "But on to business. You are here because of this... You called it a human?" "Yeah, I'm a human. And my name's Quinn." At this, the two Alicorns look at me in surprise. Ugh. I hate it when people, or ponies, assume superiority! "As you can see, Princess, Quinn is sentient, and not only that, but extremely well-informed on, well, everything about us! He even knows our personalities!" The Princesses look at me with suspicion. "We will need some time to think about this. But Quinn, just how much do you know?" "A lot. I know names, towns, holidays, general information. I know about the elements of harmony, the nightmare moon incident, the Discord encounter, the Changeling attack, and King Sombra." As I say the last several names, Celestias face takes on a look of horror. "T-thank you. We will think on this. During your stay here, please do not speak of what you know to anypony. Thank you." I bow as we exit the great hall. I can tell the two princesses are eager to talk about this. Twilight gives me another strange look. "How do you know so much about us?" "If I told you, your head might explode. I'm not joking. When Celestia asks me directly, I will tell her, but nopony else. It would terrify you. Where I come from, crime and violence are normal, daily things. Every day, humans kill other humans. We are known for our greed, hate, and wars. We have weapons that could erase Equestria from the planet. I intend no harm, but if other humans make it here, then no promises. " My voice got darker and darker. "And there are humans who know much, much more about you than I do."
