Altair woke up with pain everywhere in his body. 
"Uhhhhhhhhh, my head, " he said,  clutching his head with his hand, to find that it isn't a hand. It's a hoof.
Altair looks at what used to be his hand, then screams at the top of his lungs,  then passes out yet again.

.     .     .

When he woke up for the second time that day, Altair found himself surrounded by 6 multicolored ponies. 
"Oh mah Celestia, are you alright sir?" Said one of the ponies.  She appeared to be a orange colored ponie, with a physique that proves that she's a hard worker.  She also had freckles, greenish eyes, and wearing some sort of headwear. There appeared to be a mark on her flank that consisted of three apples.
"Give him some space applejack, " said the pony next to her, a cyan colored pony. This one had a rainbow colored mane and tail, violet eyes,wings, and the mark on HER flank was a cloud with a rainbow colored lighting bolt protruding out of it.
"Ah know 'bout givin ponies space rainbow," said the one called applejack." Ah was just wonderin if he's alright. "
"Girls, girls,  quit fighting," said one of the ponies, a pure white one, with a horn protruding out of it's forehead.  "He's probably hurt."
"No, no," said Altair,  slowly rising out of the bed. "I'm fine."
"Wow, so you CAN talk," said one of the ponies,  a pink pony. "At first I thought that you couldn't talk,  and I thought,  'awwwwww,  poor guy,' but then you started talking,  and I thought 'yaaaaaay!' So now I have to start planning a 'welcome to ponyville' party,  because I've never seen you before, and I know everypony in ponyville,  so that means-"
As she was saying this all in one breath,  a resounding "PINKIE!" Across the room was enough to silence the hyperactive pony. 
"Ok, yeesh,  tough crowd, " said the pony named pinkie as she walked away from Altair. 
As she did so, one of the ponies, a lavender pony, came up to speak to the stranger. Altair was immediately captured by her beauty.  She was a lavender pony, with a mane and tail that were colored different shades of purple, beautiful violet eyes,  and the mark on her flank was a  six pointed star, surrounded by 5 other stars, and had both wings and a horn.  Altair admired her so much,  that he almost didn't hear her question. "Um, excuse me sir, but who are you,  and what are you doing here? "
With a bow, he answered, "I am Altair Ibn A'halad,  son of Umar Ibn A'halad,  grandmaster of the Assassin brotherhood.  He said, then lifted up and kissed her hoof.
The pony then blushed, then getting her feelings under control, answered, "I am princess twilight sparkle,  protector of ponyville,  and the element of magic."
Altair then bowed again, and looking around the room,  said "Who are your friends? "
"Oh, my apologies, " twilight said as she led Altair around the room. "This is Rarity, " she said, pointing at the white pony. 
"Well hello there, " said rarity in a friendly tone.
"And over here is rainbow dash, " twilight said as she pointed to the cyan pegasus he noticed earlier. "What's up," said the mare as she waved at Altair. He gladly returned the wave, before continuing introductions.  "And nd over here is applejack," twilight said to Altair,  hinting at the orange pony. 
"Well howdy there, " applejack said offering a hoof to the new comer.  Altair took it, before being shown to the next pony in line.  "And I'm pinkie pie!  I'm the party pony here in ponyville. " said the pink mare in front of him. He showed a quick nod of his head before the next pony. "And finally, we have Fluttershy," said twilight, pointing to the mare in front of him.  He didn't remember this pony before. Fluttershy was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail, blue eyes, and on her flank was three butterflies. "Just one quick question, " said Altair. "What are those marks on your flanks? "
"Oh, you mean our cutie marks," said twilight.  "Well, they show a pony's special talent,  like my cutie mark represents my ability with magic," twilight said,  pointing to her flank. "Honestly, I'm surprised that you don't know what a cutie mark is. I mean, you have one too, said the lavender mare, hinting to my flank. 
I then turn to see the Assassin symbol on my flank.
"Do you have a mirror, " Altair asked twilight.  
"Yeah, it's right in there," she said, pointing to what looked like a restroom.  Altair then went inside,  and was astonished at what he found. 
He was a light gray unicorn,  with  a black mane and tail, with brown eyes,  and a gray horn on his forehead. 
Altair then came out of the bathroom to the other ponies. "Sorry, " he apologized. "Just needed to check something,  so what can you tell me about where the hell I am? "
"Oh, well it's quite simple, " said twilight, pulling out a large book.[iwell, it looks like it's going to be a long day,
