//------------------------------// // Accidental Meetings part 2 // Story: Dimensional Tourist // by Oxyaction //------------------------------// ------------- Perspective: Celestia -------------- 15 minutes ago I made my way to the creatures room as the doctor rushed ahead to start waking it up. I am nervous to say the least, what if it doesn't speak our language? wait, didn't it tell me to look out? what if it is violent or if it just a scout for an invading army? I start panicking a little only to be stop by the doctor open the door again. "Princess there is something you should know before you enter." He said "What is it?" I ask. "Well when we found him it had a this strange cylinder thing on its side and a cauterized hand attached to its leg, we think it may be a cultural thing to have a fallen foes hand attached to their legs." The doctor says nervously. Getting the guards at the door to look at each other and tighten their grip on their weapons. "Secure his hands and legs then, how long until it is awake?" I ask the doctor. "In a few minutes. If it is alright with you princess i don't want to be around when it wakes up" The doctor said, looking very scared but trying to hide it. "Alright you can go, guards come in with me, I'm going to have a look at this creature while it is unconscious." I walk into the room and found the creature, it is covered in black and grey clothing with what seems to be a cloak of some sorts that ends its knees. Under the coat the design of the clothes make it look like he is wearing a tuxedo that is slightly grey with blue and green intermixed in slight lines. Its face makes it looks abit pear shaped with a mane on the top of dark brown. Its hands are covered in a different material then his whats is covering it, it seems to have five things coming out of a its arm that are slightly bent and have different lengths. I look at the window and try to think of what this creature could be, it looks like nothing I've seen before and it somehow flies. My thought process was interupted by one of the guards "Princess the creature is awake." I look over at the creature to see that it's eyes are blue and have a hint of intelligence in it. " Do you understand me?" I ask, getting the creature to stare at my mouth. "My name is Princess Celestia, who are you?" I ask slowly, hoping that it understands me a little. The creature seems to snap out of its daze and stops looking at my mouth, why is it so interested in that? I was about to say something else when the creatures mouth opens. "Greetings Princess Celestia, I am Detective Nephilim Serendipitous." I decide that it is a male. I take note at his strange name, why would someone be called son of gods and happy coincidences? I realize that i still look a bit shocked so i go back to my diplomatic face, hoping he didn't notice. He tugs at the ropes for some reason, i look up at them and decide to ask the question that has been bugging me since i saw him. "What are you?" I ask. He doesnt reply and just looks up at his tied hands, so he is smart, he is obviously not going to answer anymore of my questions until he is untied. Thinking for a second I decide to get one of the guards to untie him. Seeing as he hasnt done anything violent since he woke. "Guard, untie him please" i ask one of the guards at the door. "But Princess, what if he... you knows trys to" he stops, dragging his hoof across his neck. Shaking my head a little I respond "I think he doesn't mean us harm" I say, taking a look at him and hope he didn't get offended by that gesture. The guard approaches him slowly and unties his hands, To which he just sits up and uses those pointy things to untie his legs, "that is truely amazing" I think to myself, noticing how efficient the small fat one is. He then moves his legs so they are hanging over the edge of the bed. "My species is called Homo sapiens or Humans for short and I come in peace." He says, with a glint of humour taking up his eyes. What is so funny? He extends his arms and opens his palm, i take it and am a abit shocked to find it warm and squishy with a bit of firmness to it. "Well good to meet you." I say, still abit shocked at his hooves. He seems to hesitate abit before asking " Why are you a unipegasus horse thingy?" He says, getting a snicker from one of the guards, i glance over to see which one but he stops immediately. "I am actually called an Alicorn. Do you have Unicorns and Pegasuses from where you are from?" I ask, it seems that he is familiar with them which is good, I think. " Well, they are a myth but for what I am I tend to be open minded as to what i usually think is a myth or just a cover up" He says, like this isn't the first time saying it. A stray thought hits me when he says that we are just myths. What if to us he is a myth that I've forgotten, if so wouldn't it be in one of the mythology books in the library. Maybe I have seen... What was his species again? "You said you are a human right?" I ask, still trying to recall where that name could be from. "Yes" He replies simply. With that in mind I decide that I better see if there is any reference in the library to his species before i continue this talk. Just to make sure he isnt harmful. " I need to be going, i need to research something, until i come back is it alright if you stay here?" I ask. Please say yes. "Sure, ill stay." He says, I let out a sigh of relief and make my way towards the library. --------------- Perspective: Detective Nephilim ------------------- After what seems like hours in the room, i start to get really bored. What if the Princess is going to execute me? or send me to a lab of some sorts? or what if more logically she forgot that i was still here, getting really hungry and needing to go toilet. After some walking around trying to hold it in I decide it better to see if there is a toilet nearby " Hey," i say, getting the attention of the guards " where is the nearest toilet?" They look at each other, having some sort of silent conversation. " If you feel better you can always tie my hands together, i just really need to go" i say, hoping they don't realize that they aren't very good rope tiers. They look at each other some more before making a decision " OK, put your... err hands behind you so we can tie them up." Says the same guard who untied me, excellent. I do as he says has he ties my hands behind me in a very basic knot and then tells me to follow the other guard. The toilet turns to be slightly down the hall. After going I look around while quickly untie myself. The bathroom has a toilet, sink and a window. I make my way towards the window and have a look outside. It turns out i am inside a castle with high walls and guards walking around the edge. I look down and see that i am only two stories up, the story below me has a window, perfect. A knock comes from the door as one of the guards walks in. I turn arounds and shout " RAGLEDE FRAZZLE FOR SAZZLY DO WOP" before jumping out the window. I fall for a second before pushing the air, propelling me through the other window, which was luckily open. Landing I turn around and yell " OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THING! IT IS GOING OVER THE WALL" I turn around and find myself in a similar room to the one i woke up in. Opening to door slightly I stick my hand out and read the air for any one moving, once it clear I move out with my hand still open and continue walking around. Going through hallways that are empty and avoiding ones that are full I end up in a dead end with a door that has a picture of a book on it.
