//------------------------------// // Ambassador // Story: Itty-Bitty Bite Size Stories // by gallagsp the corgi //------------------------------// The Ambassador stood on the high cliff, watching the small community work down below. He watched as his kind went about their daily business, gathering food, constructing shelters, or just socializing in the summer heat. He smiled to himself, a bit of sadness hidden deep in his heart. He thought they had it good back where he was from, then that tyrant was finally overthrown, and they saw the light of harmony for the first time in who knows how long. He didn't want this position, to be the ambassador to Equestria, but he was the most qualified for the job, and as their new leader had put it, "We must look out for our kind more than ourselves, please, take up this responsibility for the good of everyone." He had done so with a heavy heart, knowing very well what his new job entitled. He would have to convince entire nations that his kind are different now, set up diplomatic relations, set things right. All this with no guidance whatsoever, no one had ever held a position like this before. He heard gentle hoofsteps behind him. He turned and smiled, then bowed before Princess Twilight Sparkle. "Hello, Liberty." She said. "How goes the settlement?" "Quite well." He buzzed. "We have expanded quite a bit since we were allowed to settle here. The cliffs make a good defensive situation as well from those who still do not trust us." "Give them time." She said. "You wouldn't believe how much flak I'm getting for letting this pass. I have Luna's support but Celestia is still holding onto the old ways. Ponies are going to blindly follow here until somepony can convince them otherwise." She smirked. "That sound familiar?" "All too familiar." He said. "You know, there really isn't that much difference between us. We both want what's best for our kind, we were both forced into a position we don't necessarily want but are still working hard at," He looked to the princess. "And we're both willing to forgive our enemies." "No," Twilight said, wrapping a hoof around the changeling. "not enemies, but friends."
