Note: If this is successful, I'll try to make more
Well, a special young man entering a world inhabited by a bunch of colourful ponies would be some kind of a dream isn't it? Wrong, entering a new world is as hard as cracking a coconut with a damned ruler. this is what was felt by a young man by the name of Seigmund Kaiser. Seigmund was celebrating the end of war. A war we Earthlings know as World War II. His entrance to this new world was an accident. Or so "we" thought.
The young man felt a pain in his head as well as an endless ringing inside of it. The man sits up and opens his eyes.
(First person)
'Man, I did not know how I got here, the last thing I knew was the world is now back into its' peaceful state,' I thought to myself. I opened my eyes and closed them again, hoping that what I just saw was just a dream, a nightmare. I reopened my eyes and almost screamed at the top of my lungs.
"This, could be worse than World War II itself," I said to myself with my eyes twitching. I got up and rubbed my head. How did I get into this mess? Seriously, if anyone thinks that trying to survive in a war is harder, then they have probably not seen a world filled with mythological creatures.
I walked carefully among the grass plains where I had awoken on, trying to avoid these new creatures. So far, what I've seen are, griffons. That's all, Griffons. As I carefully walked away from them, something touched me that almost caused me to scream. I managed to hold it back and turned around and saw creatures that I've feared to go near to for years. Ponies, yes, I have a fear of ponies. Because that one time I went close to one, it bucked me right in the face.
"Hello sir? Who and what are you?" The purple pony spoke up.
there was one purple filly standing curiously as well as fearfully behind me. After a long moment of being frozen, I spoke up.
"A pony, hehe. Oh dear," I fainted after saying it.
I finally regained consciousness and tried to convince myself that I wasn't in a magical world. I kept my eyes closed hoping to hear a familiar voice. But when I opened my eyes slightly, I saw the purple one again and instantly closed my eyes. 'Why, why why?' I was starting to get scared by the harsh reality I am currently in.
"What do you think Princess?" I heard one talk. "I don't know. Apparently it is a he, and 'he' doesn't seem to be one the creatures that exist in our world," Another one spoke up.
The purple one was studying my body intently. What's there to say about me? I'm only 6 foot 3 and my body is that of an average man. I constantly wear my leather jacket that was given by my father that he got from the military. I have a hair that spiked forward and I', also only 19 years old by the way, my mother gave me another name, Simon Masters, it's from her family's side. She was about to poke until I interfered - "No, bad pony." - I said, showing some strictness in my tone. "Oh sorry, my student here was curious about you," I heard the other one talk again.
'Alright Seigmund, wake up, ask them who they are and how I got here," After that, I opened my eyes and sits up. I looked at them for a while and inspects them and noticed the differences of them. One was clearly a Unicorn because of it's horn but the other one, a white one, was the biggest mystery. It has the wings of a Pegasus and Unicorn, how did I know all these? These things were said to exist in our world back in the medieval times that's how.
"Excuse me but, what are you? Who are you ponies? How can you talk?! Where am I?! And how did I get here?!" I was starting to get scared as well as curious but mostly scared. "Easy there, unknown being, I, am an Alicorn, my name is Princess Celestia and this here is my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, us talking is natural. You are in Equestria but for your last question, I don't know how to answer that. My student here told me she saw a light beam as well as a figure falling from it. Two, from what I heard."
I held my head in frustration, sadness and curiosity. I started mumbling things and the two were beginning to get nervous. They stopped me from doing so to stop their nervousness. I felt a ha-hoof touch me and I looked to see that it's the princess' student, Twilight Sparkle? With that, they saw me doing what they would not expect me to do, I smiled.
I stood up and proceeded to walk outside of the infirmary I was in. When I got out of the room, I looked down. Sadness flows through me, I looked back up because I sensed their hoofsteps. I wiped the tears was now running down my cheeks. I looked at the one that came out, who is apparently their, Princess Celestia, and smiled again.
"Tell me, do you miss your home?" She asked. "Yes, I do. Very much, but if I can't find a way out of here, I guess, it's no use then," I replied to her question. "I feel sorry for you," She looked at me with concern. "No need to."
With that, I walked around the castle and met two guards in front of me. Apparently they're scared of me, I could tell because of their stance, their spears were up and they were trembling, with fear of course. I walked up to them and put a hand on one of the guards' head. He was too scared to react and only stood frozen and clamps his eyes with fear. He reopened them when he felt that I was only ruffling his mane. He eased himself but kept his spear up.
I smiled at him and walked away. When I arrived at the main hall, everything seems to stop, probably because of the frozen ponies around me. Some of the maids were cowering, some already hid under a table. I only shook my head slowly and chuckled lightly and walked away towards the door. When I was about to push it open, I felt a hoof touch me again. I looked back to see their Princess again.
"Oh, what seems to be the problem now?" I asked, quirking up an eyebrow. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to go outside now," She said to me. "Why is that?" Both my eyebrows were raised by now. "Because when we brought you here, the citizens were all scared." "Oh, then let me out when you think it's the best time for me, besides, I think I'll take a look around the castle a little longer." "Okay," She replied. "Good," I said and looked behind her, a group of pony castle staffs praying, could be because of my statement. She looked behind her and noticed the pleading crowd, she smirked and looked back at me, "Okay, in fact, you can stay and be free to move around as you wish," After she said that, I saw the group facehoofing themselves. "Before you do that, I need to show you something." "What is it?" "Come with me."
She motioned me to follow and I did so. she brought me in front of a room that seems to be a storage room. Er, I don't know actually. She opened the large metal door and led me inside. When I got in, I saw all kinds of old artifacts, ranging from swords, crowns and other things. I saw and amulet of some kind, and was intrigued by it but did not inspect it because that would be disrespecting the authority. She stopped in front of something with a cloth covering it, wonder what it is.
When she took the covers off, I was surprised and almost threw out a furious "WHAT?!". It was a knife, a combat knife from where I was from as well as the famous weapons the Luger and Mauser.
I looked at her and back to the weapon and back to her, "Where did you find this?" "It was just near your land site." "Anything else?" I asked while touching the combat knife. "In fact, there is," She then motioned me to follow her again.
She then brought me to a long-stick like object, she unwrapped its' cover and almost blew my mind away. What lies now was a Zweihander. A famous longsword from a country of mine. I lift it up and it was a clean 5'11". I could only spit out a "Wow" and heard her laugh.
"Since we do not know how most your weapons work, we did not tinker with it. But, if you want you can keep it." "Oh, yes, I would keep this. Hold on," I turned the sword around and sure enough, it was the sword that my dad got me for my 7th birthday. What? We were about to declare a war we did not want that time and my dad is very protective towards us.
I packed the weapons and put my Zweihander into a sword sheath that was sewn for it when I was out. The guns were put into two holster that was also sewn especially for it. and a knife sheath for the knife, of course. After that, I walked out and saw Celestia standing there, waiting for me.
"There's also another thing I want to show you, come on," She motioned for me to follow again, and like last time, I followed, While also carrying my newfound weapons with me.
She led me into her room and told me to wait while she went to look for something in her closet. She came back moments later with a familiar clothing in her magic grasp which caused me to shake my head with my jaw dropped open. Again, she laughed. My reaction was necessary because what I'm currently looking at is a German soldier's uniform as well as a helmet, safely packed in a plastic cover. And I was only surprised because these were never given to me before, and I really wanted to be a soldier.
"This is good, I might want to test the weapons sometime," I said as I looked at her. "Whenever you wish to do so," She said as she held out her hoof to her side "Might do it tomorrow," I said as I looked at the clothes. "Well, Maybe this clothing would be best in your hands," Princess Celestia levitated the uniforms to me and I grabbed it, "Let me show you to your temporary bedroom."
She walked out of the room and I followed her. We then arrived to a room that was painted dark blue, I looked around it and makes a face that says "Not bad", she told me to put the uniforms in the closet. I opened it up and saw several dresses, I raised an eyebrow upon seeing them.
Celestia saw my curious face and walked up to me, "I almost forgot, this is my sister's bedroom. I banished her several centuries ago but she's coming back in 10 years! So that makes it good," She told me enthusiastically but my mind was still focused on one thing, "several centuries ago", I was frozen the moment I heard that, and also the fact that I was no longer afraid of ponies. Wow.
"Did you just said, several centuries ago?" I asked. "Uhh, 999 years ago to be exact." "Are you immortal?!" I asked her again now more shocked than ever. "N-no, our age is just extended, most live up to 10,000." "Oh," I said as I dropped the subject and walked over to the drawer and put the uniform as well as the weapons on the drawer instead, "I don't think I'll mess with your sister's closet, or her room," I smiled as I sat on the bed, "So, I suppose it's night-time here already." "What?" Celestia looked at a nearby clock, it shows 7 PM, "Yeah, I guess so, and You were out for several hours by the way, you were sent into the infirmary at 3 PM and woke up at 6.20," After that, I nodded and she left the room to lower the sun from her room's balcony.
I looked out of the window and saw the sun being lowered and the moon being raised. I took upon a mental note on how she could do such an impressive feat. I slowly slumped under the bed's sheet and lied down in it. I then started to wonder where the young purple one was. But my thoughts were answered, too soon. Because when I finished thinking, she jumped on me and surprised me.
"Whoa! Wow, you surprised me, dang, what are you doing here?" "I was told that I can see you before going to bed," She replied cheerfully, obviously showing interest in me. "Oh well, you've seen me so good night," I ruffled her mane. "Can I sleep with you?" "Why?"
as soon as I finished asking, a lightning struck outside.
"Oh," I looked out and turned back to see her cowering under the sheet, I smiled as I looked at her, I pulled her out and said, "Hey, it's okay you can sleep here for now, I'll take responsibility for anything that'll happen." "Okay, thank you mister," She said and smiled.
I waited for several minutes before checking on her to see if she's asleep, and sure enough she was. I smiled at the sight and proceed to sleep.
"Tomorrow's gonna be a new day," I said while smiling.
I was awoken by the sound of happy stifled giggling which, isn't being done so well. So, I decided to wake up and check what it is. I woke up and a cold water was literally poured over me, the sudden freeze caused me to jump up and scream. I landed back on the bed and saw Twilight as well as Celestia laughing at me. I shifted from a shocked expression to one that says, 'really?'. I thought for a while and agreed that it was quite funny. So, I smiled lightly and heartily and laughed lightly with them.
I got up and walked up to Twilight and proceed to ruffle her mane. I then turned towards the dresser, where I had put the uniforms. But what hit me next made me feel weird. How do I get clothes here? I really need something new to wear, because it felt like I've been wearing my current clothes for several days. So I walked up to Celestia, who is still standing beside Twilight.
"How do I get new clothes here?" I asked. "Oh right, while you were sleeping last night, I ordered some of the maids to make clothes that suits you," She replied. "Oh, well. Give them extra rests today. Night jobs can make people, ponies in your case, extremely tired." "Um, okay?" "Now that's settled, where are they?" I asked again.
"They're here!" I heard a feminine voice spoke up on the left side of the hall. I poked my head out to look at the speakers. They were the maids, both holding new pair of clothes for me to wear. Seeing them, I walked out of the room and towards them. I grabbed the clothes and prepared to walk back into the room and to it's bathroom. I stopped and look back at them.
"Thank you and get some rest," I said, smiling at them. "Oh, okay!" They waved and walked away happily. "Now, if you don't mind, I'll be taking a bath."
I turned away and took off my shirt. When I sensed that they were still there, I frowned a little.
"Hmm, I said I'll be taking a bath."
"Hm? Oh, yeah," Celestia then walked away awkwardly while blushing. "What was that all about?" Twilight asked. "You'll learn about it soon, young mare," I said to her while I put my shirt on the bed. "Come on now Twilight!" Celestia called out to her in a distance.
I looked at Twilight and smiled. I looked to her right and nodded. She nodded back in understanding and followed her mentor. I smiled a little bit more at the sight. I closed the door, locked it and made my way into the bathroom to take a bath.
I walked down the spiral staircase while admiring the view and stumbled upon two familiar guards, literally. We fell off the stairs and I hit the ground head-first. I sat up and rubbed my head, I noticed the two guards and crawled next to them. I shook one of them and woke up, I sighed in relief and noticed that he's giving me strange looks.
"What?" I asked. "How, how are you not affected by the fall?" He was stunned. "Oh yeah, apparently, my body is stronger than our species' normal bodies. Found out about it when I was 7," I said as I looked at my arms. "Wow, but how is that possible?" He asked. "Dunno. Oh yeah, my planet is where many kinds of people. And I think I'm one of them."
I crawled over to his friend and picked him up, "Well, let's get your buddy here to the infirmary," I suggested and walked away to find the infirmary "Uh, oh yeah," He stood up and followed me.
After asking him for directions and several cowering(s?) later, we finally made it to the infirmary. I walked inside and placed the guard on the nearest bed. As soon as I placed him, the nurse came in, almost shocking the guard beside me. I looked at her and spoke up.
"Uh, Stallion fell off the stairs," I said. "Oh, alright, are there any severe damages, like fractures?" The nurse asked.
I looked at the stallion and saw some bruises, other than that, he's fine.
"Nah, not that severe," I replied, shaking my head, "Hang on," I said as I touched his side, "Oh my, there are a few minor fractures here and here," I said, pointing at various parts of the unconscious guard's barrel. After I was done, I looked back at the other guard and the nurse, now shocked, "What?" I asked them.
"How did you sense all that without using any form of magic?" The nurse then spoke up. "Ah, well it's not easy but I've helped doctors during 'a war' that happened back at my home and that's when I realized I found good things in me," I replied, smiling. "Oh, I feel bad for you," The nurse spoke again. "For wha-, oh. Don't worry bout' it, the past, is in the past."
The guard and nurse looked at each other for a while and nodded, which I smiled at and walked out of the room.
Not long during my walk, I saw the Princess again, with her student, Twilight Sparkle I assume. I walked up to them and waved at them, they saw me and waved back. Twilight then ran up to me, for some reason, she has a satchel with her, I raised a brow and pointed at it. She noticed this and spoke.
"Oh, this? Nothing just something I need when I want to write down important things," She said happily while levitating it in front of me. "Let me guess, notebooks and pencils or pens?" "Yep!" She replied and levitated said book and pencil, "If you don't mind," "Oh no, I don't," I quickly answer her. "Great! Now, can I ask you some questions about your race?" She asked to which I nodded, I swore she squealed in joy there, "Now, what was your race like? Can you tell me more about your race's history? How was your dietary habits? What kind of invention do you have?" I put my hand in front of her and raised my index finger, telling her to slow down. "Well uh, most look like me but, with different skin colours, hairs and their colours, we are omnivores, meaning we eat both meat and vegetables-" As soon as I finished that, she gasped.
"What?" I asked her. "Y-you're, an omnivore?!" She exclaimed at her statement. "Unfortunately, yes," I replied, "Now, back to the question, those that were put in that secret room were the small parts. We have more and bigger ones as vehicles and such and some, for war," I began to faze a little and shook my head to snap out of it and looked back at her, "Anymore questions?" "I think we should move on to your history," Twilight continued. "Ah, the history part. Sorry but, our history is too dark, too much wars, plagues and deaths," I said grimly. "Oh, um it's okay, if you don't want to tell us about it," She said, disappointed. "Come on, hearing my history would be the last thing you want." "I'm sorry, Seigmund, is it?" Celestia interrupted. "Yes, what is it?" I asked. "I need my student Twilight Sparkle here, to proceed on her magic lessons." "Oh what?! Am I late?" Twilight said in shock. "No but, you may be if we continue to talk," Celestia replied to her calmly. "Alright Twilight, good luck. I still need to explore this castle."
We then waved each other goodbye, for now, again. Then we parted ways again afterwards. Staying true to my words, I began walking around the castle to find rooms I haven't seen yet. Eventually I found the dining room. Which, was unsurprisingly big, I mean, It's a castle. I began walking around the large table that was placed in the middle. Looking around, I made sure that no one was around and smirked.
[Third-person]
"Come on now Twilight! You can do it!" Celestia shouted to support Twilight who, was trying hard to levitate a potted plant. "I'm trying princess!" A strained Twilight shouted back.
Not long after, a scream was heard outside of the room they were practicing in, Celestia's archives. Twilight became shocked and accidentally dropped the plant.
"Sorry princess!" She apologised. "What was that?" Celestia asked. "I don't know." "Let's go check." "Okay!"
They rushed out of the room and towards the staircase, seeing nothing, they proceed to walk. Everythign seems to be normal until another scream broke out.
"That came from the hallway!" Celestia said.
They ran towards the hallway and saw nothing. At first they thought it was a joke, until someone shouted from behind. Who, was Seigmund.
"Out of the way!" He shouted, quite joyful, which confused Celestia until she noticed wheels on top of the chair he is sitting on, and going full speed towards them.
Celestia became shocked and backed away from the chair riding maniac. She became even more confused when Seigmund finally passed her. She then looked behind her to see several chefs and guards running from the previous location Seigmund was. All panting and angry at Seigmund's antics.
"Umm, please tell me what happened," Celestia asked the main cook, who was the first to notice Seigmund when he first started his wheelchair mania.
"I'm sorry your highness, that, thing, just came into the dining hall and put wheels on that chair and started riding on it like a maniac!" The chef exclaimed.
Celestia couldn't help but stiffle a giggle. She looked at the way Seigmund went. They waited for him to come back. And eventually, he did. As he slid past them, he felt himself lifted up and the smile that was plastered on his face fades. Confused, he looked around and saw a smiling Celestia and raised a brow.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop," He said with his smile returned. He then jumped off the chair and walked away, "Guess I'll just continue exploring."
His actions made the other staffs dumbfounded while Celestia laughed heartily, leaving Twilight confused.
"Come on now Twilight, you need to practice more on your levitation spell," Celestia said with Twilight following her.
"Yes princess," The young Unicorn replied.
Not knowing what else would happen, the staffs left the scene to continue their work, all still confused and dumbfounded.
-back to first-person-
I sighed as I walked down another empty hall, I looked around and found nothing good to do. Knowing that this is a castle, I remembered one place I haven't been to yet, Celestia's archive, unfortunately, it's in her room. 'Might as well ask for her permission', I thought and head for her room, where she is supposed to be training Twilight.
Upon arrival, I knocked on the door and waited for her to open the door. She eventually did and was confused.
"Pleasure seeing you again?" She spoke up.
"Can I take a look at the archive?"
"Oh? Sure, why not,"
She then moves out of the way to let me in, she pointed me where the archive is and I instantly head there. Along my way, I saw Twilight struggling to lift up several books at once. Smiling, I walked towards her and sat down near her. She then looks at me and I motioned her to keep going. She tried lifting all of them up again and failed, she was panting heavily when I hold her and her breathing slowed down.
"Come on Twilight, it's not that hard, just focus. Like so," I point my arm towards the books and close my eyes. Feeling the books through my energy link that is within me, I lift them up with ease as Twilight watch in amazement. I opened my eyes and let the books down slowly.
"And, I shall be in the archives now young one."
I got up and proceed to walk towards my previous destination. The archives is exactly what I thought it would be. A room filled with books, ton of books. Luckily they're all useful, especially when you're a creature from a faraway world. I went to the history section and saw a certain book. A book about Equestria's history. 'No, I don't need that', I thought to myself and realized that I have finished everything I want to do for the time being. As I thought about it, I got bored and walked out of the room. When I exited, I saw Twilight, slowly lifting the books up. My eyes lit up and I silently cheered for her as she lifts up the books.
She managed to lift the books up and upon realization, she gasped and was about to tell her mentor that she did it, before she could say more, I shouted out "YES!" happily.
"You did it!" I shouted. "I did it!" She shouted back. "Yay you did it!" "I did it!!" "Alright, that's enough now, it is almost night anyway," Celestia chimed in to stop us from getting overjoyed, "Would you like to join us at dinner Seigmund?" "Well, I guess I could take something to re-energize me, so yeah." "Meet us at the dining hall whenever you think you're ready," She said, which I nodded to.
I slid down the spiral staircase, passing down a few guards that were sent to tell me that everything is ready, snatching one's helmet, I wiped it and placed it on the ground upon reaching the bottom. I readied myself and entered the dining hall, I was greeted by several chefs. And of course, the main guest, Celestia. What surprised me was, Twilight was there.
"I see little Twilight is here with us."
"Of course, I was thinking that maybe she deserves a little treat for all her hard work. And of course, thanks to you too," She answered.
I nodded in understanding and went to the right side of the table and took a seat. After that, I looked at the two other guests and realized I have made an acute triangle from our linings, with Celestia on the end, Twilight close to her and me on Twilight's opposite and one seat away from facing directly at her. And for some reason, I felt good knowing that I did that. And smiled I did.
"I guess it's time for dinner," Celestia said, snapping me from my thoughts.
"Yes of course," I agreed as the chefs opened up the trays and walked away.
I stared at the trays for a while and Celestia noticed me staring at them.
"Anything wrong?" She asked me curiously.
"Nothing, just that, foods from my world are cooked. But I have no conflict," I explained as I took a bite out of a salad.
"Then why are you eating it now?" She asked me once again.
"Don't know, taste good actually."
"Well, good to know that."
The rest of the meal was spend normally as normal beings, no talks, polite manners, no messing up and no accidents. I finished last because I insisted on helping with the dishes. Can't say I've smiled wider than I do when I saw the chefs who were supposed to be washing the dishes too, had their jaws hung wide. Made me laugh, I finished the dishes not longer than four minutes and walked out to see a frightened Twilight pressing herself against the ground. Knowing what it is, I lit up my hand with a faint purple light. She saw me and walked up to me.
"Come on, why aren't you in your dorm?" I asked.
"Uhm, I wanted to get back but, I couldn't hold it anymore and had to go. How did you know I'm staying in one anyway?"
"Just basic knowledge," I smiled.
"Ah, finally, all those things I've done for them done. And," I glanced at the clock which shows 10:43, "Alright, perfect time to sleep."
I closed my eyes and let it all sink in, all is going well, and, entering dream state.
I shifted uncomfortably as a dream got the best of me. I woke up and looked around. I lifted my hand in front of my face and sighed in relief. Somehow, a picture of a pink pony suddenly flashed in my mind. My eyes shot open once again and thought to myself, 'Damn, there's going to be another guest?'
I opened my eyes slowly as a knock on the door woke me up. I got up and walked towards it, preparing myself, I opened the door to find out, nothing. That is, until i looked down. I have never seen anything cuter until that moment, a pink pony. Just like Celestia, she is a mix of both Unicorn and Pegasus. And apparently, she's not afraid of me, and not just that, she's also smiling?
"Hey there mister..." She started.
"Just call me Simon," I said.
"Simon? I would like to know where Twilight is," She said, smiling.
"Oh, and why would you want to see her?" I asked.
"Um, I'm her foalsitter," She replied.
'Well, what was that. Foalsitter? ' I thought as I raise a brow. She was about to reply to my confusion but it finally hit me and I said, "Ohh."
"So, you're her caretaker?" I stated.
"Yes!"
"Well, come on then."
I step out from my temporary room and towards the spiral staircase with her following behind me. I slid down because I was still tired and she had to run to keep up with me, poor thing. As soon as I reached the bottom I scooped her up from the fourth step. When I got her, she was panting heavily, and that was when I frowned sadly.
"Sorry for making you run like that, I was just tired and didn't want to walk heh," I smiled apologetically.
"It's okay, I'm supposed to apologize for waking you up," She replied while still panting and smiled.
I frowned. Even more.
I knocked on the door of Twilight's dorm room but had no response whatsoever. I looked at the young pink pony and shrugged, she just furrowed her brows a little. We walked out of the dorm and looked around, wondering where could one such pony be. Before I could think more, I realized something that I haven't done as of yet. Ask the pink pony her name.
"Say, little one, may I ask what your name is?" I asked her while I knelt down.
Not surprisingly, she gasped and smacked her forehead.
"Of course! How could I have forgotten to introduce myself?!" She said and answered, "My name is Cadance, I am also Celestia's niece."
I reacted by raising a brow while smiling.
"I'm actually, adopted."
I frowned even more than last time. Which, caused me to pull her close and hug her while small amounts of tears stream down my face. I pulled my face closer to her and started sobbing. Obviously due to the fact that she's adopted. I pulled myself away after some time and place her at the base of my neck as if I am giving her a piggy back. I glanced up and saw her shift from a confused expression to a happy smiling one.
We looked for Twilight for quite some time now. And still no signs of her yet, Cadance is still happy though. Eventually I heard a small, faint voice. Which I recognized and grateful for. I ran towards the voice's location cautiously as to not let Cadance bounce off and hit the ground. I reached Twilight's location with a 'boo' which of course made little Twilight scream in terror and ran behind Celestia, who is smiling. Cadance saw her and smiled wider than she already had, she safely hops from my back and ran up to her.
"Aunt Celestia!" She shouted happily.
"I see you've met my niece," Celestia said.
"Yah, I gotta admit, she's too cute," I stated.
She chuckled lightly and patted on Cadance's head. Then, Twilight came towards us.
"yay! Cadance's here!" She cheerfully shouted.
They then proceed to do what seem to be their "special hoof shakes" whilst canting out, "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!" Which ended with them, shaking their flanks. And, left me with a raised eyebrow. I shook my head to snap out of it and take a look at them.
"Say, would you like to provide additional supervision on Twilight? I'm pretty sure you would be a perfect caretaker," Celestia suggested.
"I would but, how about those who haven't seen me yet?"
"Most have seen you but, you will need to ease your actions around them alright?" She advised.
"Sure, it's what I always do," I said.
"Are you sure?" She asked skeptically.
"Absolutely," I assured.
Celestia only frowned, still skeptical about my statement.
I tried keeping a peaceful and calm smile as I walked down the streets filled with horrified ponies. I heard some of them silently whispering to each other about me, which made me a little uncomfortable because of my enhanced hearing. After walking past more and more, and hearing more and more, I finally got uncomfortable. I sighed and kept walking behind the two young mares I'm taking care of.
"Heesh, not more than two days and the princess has already let this creature out unannounced?" A mare whispered to another. Which, I heard.
"But then again, It's not like we want it out anyway," The latter said as the former nodded in agreement.
After overhearing that, I glanced to my right side and heard the same thing. I shut my eyes and let Cadance and Twilight's hoofsteps lead me. I almost shed a tear when I heard the third one, "Wow, he's much worse than I imagined. I hope he'll be back into the wild soon enough."
'Did they not see that I reacted to their reactions?!' I shouted mentally. I ran towards and picked up the two happy hoppers and far from earshot.
I placed them down gently under a nearby tree that I found to be fitting to play. I panted heavily when I placed them. They both looked at me confusedly and walked up to me.
"Is there, anything wrong?" Twilight asked me first.
"Just a little," I answered and kept panting.
"What's bothering you?" Cadance continued what Twilight left.
"The citizens, to be honest."
"Why?" She continued.
"Because I can't stand being under pressure anymore! Do they really do that to an unknown creature?! Despise them even before knowing what they feel?"
"They, said all that?" Twilight chimed in.
"Yes," I leaned against the tree and sat down, "At least, they don't have to put up with what I've faced before."
"What have you faced?" The foalsitter continued to ask me.
"You're still young for that."
"Hey! Just because I'm young and all doesn't mean I'm not mature. Not unlike my brother."
"Your, brother?" I asked her because of her statement. And needless to say, I'm shocked, "You never told me you have a brother."
"Ah ah ah, I never told you, I didn't," She said which, made perfect sense.
"I guess you have a lot of introducing to do."
"I guess I do."
The two of them walked off a little further from the tree and started playing. I let myself slowly drift into a sleep and hope to dream a little better now."
Guess today can't get any worse. But then, I woke up to find myself in the barren wasteland of a familiar city.
"No, please don't be," I prayed.
My prayers could not be answered as the dream was something inevitable. I started walking around the remains of my home. I tried picking up my family portrait but it just went through me. 'I guess I can't take something from the past,' I thought. I kept walking around the city until I found the beach where the allied team had breached through. I chuckled at the site and returned to my saddened expression as I saw the bodies of the dead soldiers.
There was silence for a long time until the sound of distress calls alerted me, my eyes widened from the calls. 'He's quick, there are also multiple squadrons backing him up,' I thought once again. Remembering the cause of it, I ran towards the location of the distress call. I knew who 'he' was and was sure enough to confirm his identity.
And sure enough, when I got there, I saw my past self killing my own country's soldiers while being backed by the allied soldiers. I remembered exactly what caused me to kill that much, I shook my head to drop it off. I kept looking at myself, I ran on the buildings while one of the German soldier who was trying to shoot me shouted out "Die Sie Dämon !" Which shook me as I was not in control of myself. I kept watching the massacre until the end, as the end approached I was beginning to feel a little nauseous and fell down.
And the last thing I saw was a shining edge of a sword.

"Try and catch me if you can!" Twilight happily shouted.
"Oh I can and I will!" The pink pony ran after her.
Their fun came to a stop when Cadance saw their human "guest" shift uncomfortably. She also heard him mumble random things. She ran up to him and poked him which caused him to shout, but stayed asleep. Cadance switched glances with Twilight who followed her when they stopped playing and shouted for him to wake up with Cadance shaking him.
Groups of passerby's saw them and shook their heads and kept on walking. Twilight then ran towards one of them begging for help but instead of helping they ran away. Twilight continued begging and pleading for their help as Seigmund's condition was worsening as he began twitching by now. She was on the verge of tears until a masculine shout was heard not far from her current location. She turned to see what it was and saw Cadance smiling with tears of joy. She looked at Seigmund who had woken up and ran towards him, still crying.
Seigmund was about to regain composure until he was tackled with a bear hug, from two happy fillies, while leaned against a tree. Which made him dizzy and realized that he was awake and alive, to which he is grateful for. He waved off the feeling he got when he just woke up and hugged the two fillies back. And for the second time, he shed a tear.
[firstperson, prior to the last scene]
I finally woke up and it's dark, and I'm now scared. I tried to walk around but it proved to be useless as my legs felt numb, which is annoying. I became frustrated and even more scared. I could not move my arms too, nor any parts of my body, save for my head and face. I really wished this dream ends soon, I screamed at the top of my lungs and everything becomes clear. There was a single source of light that appeared in front of me, approximately 100 meters, dream scale. which means, it'll be impossible for me to get there on time.
Taking a deep breath, I started running towards it. Soon, a mass of blob-like thing appeared behind me, which I am oblivious to. I almost reached the light source until it grabbed me with its' reddish black appendages, that was when I started to become subconsciously angry and tried my best to reach the light source and win this nightmarish battle between my nightmares.
As I got closer, the appendages became stronger, making me harder to run or even walk, it pulled me down and I had to inch closer to it. Another thing I realized was, whenever I manage to get closer by that time, the light broke off my nightmare's appendages. And because of that, hope returned to me. And as every appendages broke off, I got up and walked closer, soon, I was running. My nightmare tried going beyond the barrier and got another hold of me on the left arm, fortunately my right arm was already stretched out to grab the light and use it against my own nightmares.
"Just...A little...Bit...MORE!!" I shouted in a strained state and got a hold of the light and it revealed itself to be my self-crafted sword which I made just in case something bad actually happens. I used it and cut off the tentacle that held my left arm. I grabbed the other one and gets in a battle stance. My sword began lighting up once more and I rushed towards 'nightmare'. With one jump, I was high up in the air, lighting the whole sky up, which miraculously turned into the beautiful blue sky. With one mighty swing and shout, I managed to strike on 'nightmare's' top. Which resulted in lighting up the whole place.
I woke up with a scream, which had surprised Cadance, who was seemingly worried about me. I was still staring off into the empty space while Twilight was running towards me, and as soon as she got closer, she jumped and that, is how the deadly filly bear hug happened to me that snapped me from my blank staring. I stopped thinking about that dream for a while and looked over the horizon to see that the sun is setting. I decided to take them back so that I could think about the dream and do an investigation about it.
After another escorting, I got Twilight back to her dorm and Cadance at the castle. We went in and Celestia was already waiting for us, she greeted us in a calm manner.
I skipped dinner to go to the balcony and watched the moon making its' course towards the night sky. Then, thoughts about my sword came back to me. I started thinking about it for a while before a silver light flashed and streaked through the night sky. I was intrigued by it, and so I decided to come out at midnight to check it out. But first, a well earned rest could do. I slumped down on 'my bed' and slowly drift into a short but peaceful slumber.
I lightly jumped off my balcony and landed safely on the ground below. I proceeded to run towards the crash site of the 'light'. I had to avoid night patrols, because the weapon is too dangerous to wield. So, I wouldn't want anyon--pony, to know about this. My destination is far, as it landed outside of the city, and Canterlot is big. So sneaking out undetected would be hard. But then again, I've got powers on my side, although low-leveled, they're still handy.
As I reached the city's outskirts, I relaxed a bit and-
"What are you doing?" A Unicorn guard whom I did not notice asked me.
"Uhh, nothing," I answered.
"Hmm, an unknown guest? Sneaking out at night? And says nothing when somepony is on to them and asks them?" He said and continued sarcastically, "What do you plan to do to Equestria, you spy?!" He then chuckled and walked closer towards me.
"Seriously though, what are you doing?" He asked me again.
"Well, if you want to know, you must keep it a secret alright?" I answered truthfully this time. He nodded reassuringly, "I'm going out of the city to investigate a silver light that crashed somewhere out there."
"Oh, then you need an escort," He said.
"Why?"
"To avoid suspicion from other night patrols of course."
"I see."
After that, we both went to the crash site and noticed a blink in the distance. I ran up to it and he followed, when I got there, a small crater surrounded the light. It was different here, the light isn't blinking when seen closely. Even my friend had to shield his eyes from the bright silver light which, didn't seem to bother me at all. Instead, I enjoyed looking at it. I reached out my arm and held the top and the light brightens up causing my escort to shut his eyes. The light soon faded, revealing my self-made sword.
I lift it up and examined it, its' hilt was a weird design, it had a cover for the user's knuckle, which is useful when an enemy is too close. The blade however, is shaped like a rapier's, because back then, I was more into skewering. The guard looked at it and levitated it with his magic. I walked towards the other and lifted it up. I summoned a sheet out of thin air and took the other one.
"We need to go," I said as I rolled up the swords in the sheet.
"Why?" He asked.
"Some might have seen that light and sooner or later, they're going to investigate it," I explained.
"Oh," He nodded in understanding.
And with that, we both ran back to the city.
We finally reached back at Canterlot and my sword are safely kept inside the sheet, I turned towards my unexpected friend and reached out my hand to expect a hand/hoof shake.
"Thank you for your company back there-"
"It's Stealth Strike and you're welcome," He said and took my hand with both his hooves and shook it gently.
"Ah, well better get going then."
He nodded and I ran back towards the castle, and remained undetected.
What I remained oblivious to was that there was a third unwelcome company, a hidden spy whom I didn't detect. The figure of said spy flashed in my mind and left me dumbfounded. I looked back out and slapped myself.
And so, another day have started and I woke up to look at the corner of the room to see a maid, poking at the rolled up sheet. Remembering what it was, I jumped up and tackled the sheet out of the maid's sight. My sudden action shocked her, so she turned around to see what actually happened. The moment she saw me, she immediately turned around and continued her work while blushing. I looked down and saw that I was still in my undies as I liked sleeping that way.
I reached out for the towel that was placed on the nearby dresser and picked up a newly placed set of clothes that is under the towel. I looked at my cleaned leather jacket and felt something weird. I shrugged it off and proceeded into the bathroom for a bath and, noticed that the maid is done cleaning and walked out of the room.
I wiped my hair as I walked out of the bathroom, new pair of undies on but still topless. I closed the room's door and sat down on my temporary bed. I, once again looked at my jacket and felt the weird feeling again. I pulled it closer and examined it, I checked the pockets and got something in my hand. I pulled it out and an envelope was revealed to me, curious to what it is, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"Alright, time to find out what this is all about," I thought.
Before opening it, I read the message that was written on it, 'sollte ich fühle mich einsam , so wird das Bild in diesem Umschlag mein Begleiter sein'. I was shocked and fell silent. I opened it and pulled out a family picture, my family picture. I muttered out a silent "Oh", and held the picture firmly. I began sobbing and tears streamed down my face.
After a while, I finally got myself together and put the picture back in the envelope. I placed it back in the jacket and don my new pair of clothes. After putting on the plain collarless shirt, I grabbed the jacket and wore it as I walked out of the room.
I walked closer towards the throne room to greet Celestia, and probably even Twilight. I got in and found out they were not there, not even the guards. I pondered for a while and picked my nose. Until a familiar aura was felt and I felt the urge to roll forwards, and I did. After my evasion, I grabbed two ponies in my hand. Both with the familiar color of coat. I stared at both Twilight and Cadance before they started to snicker a bit and tried hard not to smile. I knew something was going on so I placed my hand up and form a thin air barrier. I felt water crashed on the barrier along with the bucket and it was my turn to smile afterwards.
They both sighed in disappointment and shouted out for Celestia to come out from her hiding spot: behind the throne. And she smiled in defeat, I placed the fillies down and faced Celestia.
"Never the second time princess," I said, waving my finger in front of her.
"Alright, you win."
"Yeah, most ponies wouldn't be able to figure it out that fast," Twilight said.
"And even if they do, it'll be too late," Cadance continued.
All of a sudden she perked up and ran up to me, Twilight following suit.
"Hey Simon!" I raised a brow, "You haven't met the rest yet right?"
My eyes widened as I heard the question and rubbed my chin with my finger and shrugged.
"Well, we'll start with my brother!" She said, "Come on!"
She beckons me to follow, I looked at Celestia and she nodded. I smiled and ran after them to catch up.
"Well, there he is!" Cadance said, pointing her hoof towards a stallion in a tuxedo with a blue bow. He is shouting inaudible things with the maids, I could only make out the ones that are related to specks on his tux. He couldn't see us because we were hiding behind a wall. The maids apologized and walked towards our way, the other comforting the one that made that one little mistake. They stumbled on us and were shocked, the latter wiped her tears while the former just stared at us.
"Oh, what are you-" I shushed the once crying maid.
"We saw everything," I simply said.
"Oh, oh I don't know how much longer I can take this!" She just spoke her mind and began crying again with her friend trying to comfort her.
"Mister Simon? I don't really like the prince," Twilight spoke up.
"Me neither, I'll try to talk some sense into him," I said as I walked towards him with Cadance shouting out, "Wait, he's not used to ponies with clothes like yours!"
"Excuse me good sir," I said, playing my gentleman side.
"Yes?! What could you-" He said, turning around only to stop upon seeing me.
"What in the name of Celestia are you?! Guards! Seize this monster!" He shouted out.
Before I could say more. Cadance and Twilight ran up beside me and stop his shouts.
"Blueblood, stop!" Cadance interjected, "Why must you always do this when you see a creature of unknown origins or anything that seem to be unpleasant to you?"
"If you live like I do then you'll probably understand," The prince, who was apparently named Blueblood scoffed.
"I'm sorry, prince Blueblood," I bowed, continuing my gentleman side.
"Hmph, at least he has some manners," He scoffed again and turned his head sideways in great pride.
Man, I needed to think of a way to kick some reality into this great royalty wannabe. But it has to be, realistic, effective and other aspects it will need to turn this brat into a real well-mannered future ruler. So, I rose and walked closer to him.
"Your Majesty, I wish to talk about your status as a prince," I re-started.
"Why?" He asked.
"Oh nothing, this is not related to any envious thoughts or anything. It's just that," I stopped for a moment there and smiled, "How do you feel being a prince anyway?"
"It is amazing, you simply can't ask for a better life!" He exclaimed.
"Yes, that is true and is of no doubt at all," I waved my arm to the right, "Yet, a luxurious life also comes with a price. For example, your life, royalty. Within the luxurious life of yours in which many of your ponies praise you for, respect, yet envious at the same time. Is a stressful daily life, consisting of listening to your citizens' complaints, moreover, kingdom and faction crises. And to top it all, there will be unfinished business you will have to take care of, there will also be requests from other kingdoms, some will be demanding your prized possessions and all, and to deny their request is to carelessly spark a possible war as some of the demands will be you, sharing a few, if not, several successful companies with them. And for war parts? Again, this is the greatest conflict you will face as a kingdom's ruler. But, there's also this part called invasion. As a ruler, you will have to face all of this, with each of your actions causing consequences, some will be uncalled for."
As I finished, I heard him gulp and turn around to face him. He was sweating profusely, perfect. It was all I needed to see to know that he will start thinking about his position properly. He tried to say something but I lift my hand with my finger raised, "Before you could say anything more, you may want to change your demeanor a bit, maybe a lot. Because you will start ruling over your kingdom aggressively and that will cause a revolution, forcing them to overthrow you," I said the last parts louder than the first parts to fully force it into his head.
I turn around to see three shocked mares standing still with their mouths hung. Behind them, I can see several guards as well as servants shocked, most likely to what I said to Prince Blueblood.
"How, oh my god, that is all true, I'm sorry Blueblood but what he said is true and you need to change," Celestia said, to which Blueblood replied by nodding slowly while his eyes remain widened.
"By the way, now that Cadance's part is finished, how about we meet your family, Twilight?" I asked, while walking towards the end of the hall.
Little Twilight just nodded and followed me, with Cadance following from behind. Thinking about what i said to poor little Blueblood, I smiled after finally getting all of it out of my head.
