"Hey spike could you get the parchment and quill so we can send a letter to princess Celesta Please"Asked Twilight "Sure thing twilight"he said as he went to get the parchment and a quill "So Cortex what kind of creature are you and who did you say you worked for?"asked Twilight "Sure i can tell you, i am a Tau of the Tau empire there many Caste of my people , there Caste of the Tau,Kroot,Vespid,Nicassar,Gue'vesa (Human), Galgs, Ranghon, Tarellian, Ji'atrix, Hrenian and Demiurg and we serve the great elder Aun'Va, Master of the Undying Spirit."he said in praise for his people. Spike had returned to the room with a parchment and quill in his claws he opened the parchment and stared writing "Dear Princess Celesta' " i am very sorry for the late message but i would like to inform you that we have met a creature called a Tau he is called Cortex and the other amazing is that he can speak the same language we do. He also does have a rank he was in a army but he is not hostile and he is a very kind soul he seems to be a expert in speed and combat and his species seems so fascinating there is just so many stuff on him i need to learn also try to learn his own native tongue. and we would like to get a letter back as so as you can" 'From Twilight sparkle' "Spike if you please"asked Twilight "Sure Thing Twilight"said Spike as he with drew flames and the note looked burned "why would you destroy your note with fire?" "Huh oh!,no its magic he used to send the letter to her" "Magic.... strange things happen I guess i wish my Kau'ui was still around too bad there gone" he said as he spoke to him self "What was that you said Cortex?" Twilight asked "oh its nothing you need to worry about" he said "so all we do now is wait for a replay for Princess Celesta to send back a letter and-" a letter appears from spike and twilight beings to read the letter and her eye widen at what the letter said "oh no oh no oh no oh no! Princess Celesta is coming here i have not completely cleaned up the library and she will be her any minute" just as she said this a bright light appeared in the library and there standing in the the middle was a White equine that stood a foot higher then Cortex him self she had wings longer then then rainbow and fluttershy and she had a horn longer then twilight or rarity's and her mane flowed as if it was blowing in the wind "Hello my little ponies" she said in a soft voice they all bowed except for Cortex she then look toward Cortex's way" and you must be the Tau i believe" she said with a smile " Yes i am and you must be Princess Celesta its a pleasure to meet you" he said as he held out his hand" Same to you Cortex its a pleasure to meet a new creature as yourself" she said as they exchange a peaceful meeting, after a bit of time of Cortex telling about his past life the horrible tragic battle that happened and how he happen to arrive in this strange world and of his race there many forces, weaponry and tech level Cortex got a lot of information for his own thoughts about how each of the equines or ponies as they are called have each something called a element of harmony, like Rarity as generosity, rainbow dash as loyalty,Fluttershy as Kindness,Pinkie as laughter,Applejack as honesty and Twilight as Magic, and he learned of Celesta's role too to know that she is a goddess has lived 1000's of year's is immortal and can move the sun.
