Day Sympathy in Equestria

>You find yourself walking through a forest.

>How you came to be walking through a forest, you have no idea.

>When you've lived as long as you have, events tend to blur together, especially if they don't catch your attention.

>You know you're walking the right way.

>There are innocent souls up ahead, and you've always enjoyed their company.

>A few pesky cats try and make a morsel of you.  They soon learn to give you a wide berth though.

>Interesting chemical composition of the poison in their stingers.

>Someone could easily describe it as magical.

>This whole area, seems to feel of old magic.

>It's a refreshing change from the smoke and atheism of the big cities.

>You reach a clearing, and see through the bushes what looks to be a village.

>Villages, were perfect breeding grounds for superstitions.  You loved villages.

>You take a deep breath, straighten your tie, and put on the winning smile you've perfected over your long life.

>As you head into the village center, you see how odd it's inhabitants are.

>Apparently, you ain't in kanas no more!

>There are small colorful horses milling about, some have wings, some have horns, and some have no discernible difference to the ones you're used to.

>And they can talk!

>You really do learn something new every day.

 

>A few regard you with curiosity, but many give you a relatively wide berth.

>There is one that doesn't seem to be phased by your presence.  A mint green unicorn, with amber irises and a lyre emblazoned upon her flank.

>Her eyes appear to water as you allow her to examine your hands.  She seems to be fascinated with your fingers, and their joints.

>You don't mind the attention, the opposite in fact.  As the small horse continues her examination, a group of six more p0nies begins making their way towards you.

>One purple unicorn is the first to actually speak with you.

>She introduces herself as Twilight Sparkle, and extends a hoof to you, in what is likely a sign of peace.

>You enjoy the serenity of wherever it is you've found yourself, so you'll keep the nice guy act going for awhile.

>You shake hands (hooves?) with each of the p0nies, and note that three of them, the white unicorn Rarity, and both of the Pegasi seem to have developed a crush on you.

>How sweet.

>The purple Unicorn, who seems to lead the group grows excited, asking you questions, trying to understand what you are.

>You haven't played this game in a while.

>The day passes in a similar fashion, and as night begins to fall on the quaint little village, a flying chariot alights just outside the library you've all gathered inside.

>A pair of armored pegasi enter, and Twilight Sparkle greets them, inquiring if they're here because of her letter.

>The pair nod their heads in the affirmative, and the purple unicorn begins hopping in excitement.

 

>She tells you, that the two of you will be heading over to the capital city of this magical pony land, to meet with the "princess".

>You grow as excited as she has.

>The two of you bid adieu the five "friends" who are staying behind and climb aboard the chariot.

>The trip is fairly quick, and you spend it chatting with Twilight.

>You land right in front of the castle, and Twilight dismisses the guards, assuring them the two of you will be fine.

>The castle is fairly impressive when you get inside, with long hallways, many rooms, and high ceilings.

>You find your way alongside Twilight to a pair of Double doors, flanked on either side by  two pairs of guards.  They open the door for you.

>There at the end of a long carpet and a large room, sits a rather majestic Unicorn with wings, and another Pegasi with a horn.

>The smaller of the two is a beautiful shade of blue, with a mane like the night sky .

>The larger one, is a pristine white, and a mane of all the colors of the spectrum.  

>You can feel the vast magic they are in possession of.

>Upon seeing you, a glint of understanding comes to the larger Allicorn's eyes.

>It brings a quiet smile to your face.

>Before anyone can say anything, you decide to greet your benefactor.

Please allow me to introduce myself.

I am a man of wealth and taste.

I've been around for a long, long year.  

Stolen many a man's soul and faith.

I was 'round when Jesus Christ had his moment, of doubt and pain.

I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands, and sealed his fate.

Pleased to meet you.  

Won't you guess my name?
