Dead thread. Posting something I wrote a while back.
>You are laying in bed staring at your alarm cursing your ability to wake up before it even goes off
>"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEE-"click""
>You turn the alarm off and head to the shower
>Your one weekend off and you have to spend it hiking with your family
>And they wonder how you don't have a life or a girlfriend
>Every day is work or recovering from it. Fucking factory job
>You went through four years of college for nothing
>Your biology masters degree wasted on making parts for cars
>Going to your closet you grab your favorite hiking gear
>The outdoors has always been your true home and you used to hike all the time
>However its hell making ends meat anymore and you could use rest more than a hike
>But your sister asked you and you have never been able to turn her down and she knows it
>Grabbing your hiking pack you make sure the basics are still there.
>MREs? Check. Fire starter? Check, Fishing line and hooks? Check. Dynamo flashlight? Check. Medpack? Check. Emergency Blanket? Check. Knife? In pocket so check.
>A couple of emergency bottles of water later and a spare change of clothes and you are ready to go
>You text your family that you are on your way
>A couple hours later you arrive at your destination
>As you open your trunk you hear a yell "ANON!" as your tackled from behind
>"Hey sis!" you say as she lets go of you. God she is 15 now isnt she? Its still amazing that she is not that little shadow that followed you around for years
>At eight years younger than you she always seemed unusually close to you

>Instead you tell them to keep resting you are going to look at something
>Heading down a side path that leads down the side of the ridge you cant help but wonder what you saw
>you hear a loud screech and a cry of "HELP!" and look up. That shape is flying directly overhead now and You get a damn good look at it
>Huge and scaled with large bat-like wings a long neck. Red and grey. It has a large..creature grasped between its claws
>And at that moment is when you officially went insane
>I mean you KNOW what you are seeing has to be but it cant be

>The screech must have been the large...
>Head, wings, and forelegs of an eagle, rear body of a lion.

>A dragon flies overhead and a gryphon, yes that's what its called, cries for help
>Three gryphons come out of nowhere and claw at the dragon. A roar of rage and it dropped the one it held
>Faster than you can believe it turns midair to breath a blue-white flame that the gryphons barely dodge
>The gryphon that was dropped tries to fly away but...it looks like its wings are injured
>At this point you realize that damn gryphon is going to crash into you!
>scrabbling to get up the gryphon crashes into the ground a few feet from you before you can make it to your knees
>INSTINCTS ACTIVATE
>Looking around you see there are some kind of ruins that you can hide in if you are quick.
>One mad dash later you are standing inside the doorway of a crumbling tower thing
>The gryphon on the ground is not moving but the fight overhead is starting to heat up.
>One gryphon keeps making quick attacks at the dragons head and underbelly as the other two attack its wings and back
>The dragon looks like it is starting to get tired when it gets a good strike at the on in front of it
>You can hear the sound of those claws hitting as the gryphon drops
>A nearby moan makes you look and the gryphon on the ground is starting to get up
>Its tawny wings were slightly blackened and you could see hair and feathers burned away at spots, probably from the dragon, and that's why it could not fly
>A roar draws both of your attentions to the sky where the dragon seems to have gotten rid of the two other gryphons. The dragon is looking this way now.
>A cry shows the gryphon on the ground cowering when you hear
"N-n-no! Please no!"
>With such terror that it leaves you feeling cold.
>That gryphon can talk. Not only can it talk but its obviously a girl from that voice.
>Even worse, it sounds like your sister
"OVER HERE! HURRY!"
>you hear someone yell
>Oh you said that. Huh you don't remember saying that

>She looks at you for a moment. You think you can see surprise and confusion wash over that face before another roar sounds
>She bolts for the door and squeezing past you (trying not to touch you) she gets inside
>You run inside after her and as you get about three steps in the door you feel the thud resound through the building as the dragon lands
>You manage a couple of more steps before you feel something catch your backpack and slam you against the wall
"LITTLE GRYPHON! LITTLE GRYPHON COME OUT AND PLAY!"
>Resounds through the building as the dragon drags you across the wall by your pack
>You fumble with the straps trying to get the claps undone as you struggle against the pulling.
>At the last possible second the strap over your left shoulder snaps throwing you out of the pack
>Stumbling you make it to the opposite side of the room from the door, your wrist is aching from getting smacked against the wall
>Next to you the gryphon is in the fetal position shaking
>She must be scared out of her mind
>The tower shudders as the dragon shifts and you see an eye at the door
"Huh looks like a second treat has arrived! Don't think you are safe. I can always just incinerate you with my flame or tear this tower down to get to you! So how about you come out and I will make your deaths quick! HA HA HA!
>That laugh was like boulders rolling down a hill
>It shook the tower and you suddenly don't doubt that he could follow-through with his threat
>What to do? I cant fight because I am like 1/20th this things size and I have no weapons

"So you can talk then little thing? Perhaps four gryphons would be enough but I have never seen anything like you. I cant miss this opportunity to try what might be a rare treat!"
>Crap this bastard knows he has you right where he wants you. Maybe I can trick him?
>"Ahh but what if I am poisonous? You don't want to die for such a small meal as me!"
>A rumbling chuckle shakes the building
"Ah well you must not know that dragons can eat ANYTHING! You may be poisonous but it would be worth the bellyache!"
>Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. That did not work. Maybe I should just give myself up. Fuck maybe this is all a drea-
"DRAGON! Your kind knows better than to enter my lands! You dare break our pacts?"
>A regal voice cuts through your thoughts like lightning
"Ahh princess! I only entered your lands chasing an intruder who entered my territory. I apologize I did not mean to intrude on your kingdom! I must have gotten distracted by the trespassers."
>Does that dragon sound...cowed? What could scare a- "Did that dragon just say princess?" you say out loud in confusion.
"Celestia! We are saved!"
>The gryphon cries out
>Celestia? The fuck
"Be that as it may dragon you are not allowed to hunt on Equestrian soil. This pact is close to 2000 years old and your kind knows it well. We have overlooked certain...mistakes in the past but our patience wears thin. Now leave Equestria and tell the rest of your kind that we are watching you. Closely"
>Whoever she is, she sounds angry.
"As you wish princess. Good day to you!"
>The tower shudders violently as the dragon takes off
"PRINCESS! ITS ME!"
>The tawny gryphon yells. A moment later you hear
"Ambassador Lightfeather? Is that you? Where are you?"
>She quickly stumbles out of the tower, you decide to follow her
>As you step out of the tower you see a chariot floating in the air with two...pegasi pulling it
>Pegasi how wonderful. What else are you going to mea-

>A beautiful pegasi with a horn is in the chariot. Her mane and tail are an aurora of shifting colors caught in a breeze that is not there. She is wearing a gold necklace thing with a large purple gem and a golden crown. Her flank is emblazoned with a sun. She is twice the size of the pegasi around her and the only one sporting a horn. She is the most striking creature you have ever seen.
>In the air around her are about two dozen other pegasi all dressed in gold armor
>You see her looking down upon the gryphon (Ambassador Lightfeather?) and she is seems to be furious then her look cools to one of concern when she hops down off her chariot and says
"Ingrid dear are you ok? Where are your guards?"
>As she asks that she starts looking around and spots you. Her horn starts to glow and...suddenly you cant move. At all.
>Magic. Yep you are crazy. A magic flying talking unicorn horse.
"And WHAT is that?" She asks pointing her hoof at you. You also notice a large number of pegasi head over from the group and surround you.
>Ingrid looks at you and says
"I have no idea. But it saved me and then I believe it tried to distract the dragon until help arrived." She looks back at the Princess "My guards were trying to save me from that dragon when I last saw them." she sounds exhausted.
>you try to nod but you cant move you manage to say through a closed mouth "I was trying to help"
>For some reason the pain in your wrist is getting worse but you cant look to see why
"I thank you for that." Celestia says. "I would hate for something to have happened to my friend."
> The glowing around you stops and you understand why your wrist is hurting. From the angle its currently at it looks like you broke it.
>I think my wrist is broken" you say as you begin to shake. The sudden realization of everything that has happened seems to be sending you into shock
>You try to calm yourself down but all you can do is fall back on your ass causing pain in your arm from the shock of it.

"Guards get these two to the infirmary" >Celestia says pointing at you two.
"I am going to make them sleep but I want guards on them both until I return. Nothing can happen to either of them. The rest of you search for Ambassador Lightfeathers' Guards. Pray we find them alive"
>You see a glow and feel calm wash over you. The pain in your wrist fades as you fall back into a dreamless sleep
That was part 1. Going to post part 2 now.

"I will take it from here." A male voice responds
>The curtains start to glow purple and are drawn open. On the other side stands the white pony and a white...unicorn wearing golden armor
"Anonymous" he says loudly in a commanding tone. "Now that you are awake I am to take you directly to the Princess"
>God damn that tone made you want to pop him in the jaw. So instead you ignore him and examine the other pony.
>Her tail is also blond and on her butt is a cross with a heart at each corner
>Maybe that's to mark that she is a nurse?
>"Excuse me, Miss?" You say to her. "What exactly was I treated for?"

"W-well after finding your ankle on your left foreleg was broken in two spots and there was substantial bruising to the arm we decided to examine the rest of you for injuries."

"We were able to repair the lacerations that covered your back and shoulders as well as the bruising. We also found signs of a possible concussion and treated those as well. Your foreleg would have been repaired but the doctors decided to play it safe as we don't know how your body responds to magical healing. They used their magic to set the bones and start the healing process. It was their opinion this would be safer for you in the long run"

"Yes?"

"Fine. Get your clothes on and get ready. The princess awaits."

>FUCK. Where is your pack? Well you guess that is a question for later. For now its time to go meet the princess who saved your ass.
>After you are dressed you stretch a bit and notice why the bed was so big. It seems they had to push four beds together to get one that fit you. Well wasn't that nice of them
>You open the curtain and nod to the unicorn who opens the door and leads you into out
>After a short travel with many stares from various pastel ponies, unicorns, and pegasi you are beginning to feel like a freak

>A couple of minutes pass and as you begin to wonder what was taking so long the door swings open slowly

"Arise. I do not believe we have been properly introduced. I am Princess Celestia, Princess and ruler of Equestria" she bows her head slightly in your direction "and this is Ambassador Ingrid Lightfeather of the Gryphon nation." She bows before you "Now I do not mean to be rude but I must ask. Who and WHAT are you? I have ruled this kingdom for a great amount of time but I have never seen anything like you before."
>You think for a moment about how to respond to this. You decide to handle this like a bit of game. You beg that your years of D&D don't fail you now.
>"Your highness" you bow low to her "I am Anonymous of the United States of America. I am a Human." You say with what you hope sounded like pride "Where I am from I am a scientist" small lie since you are trained to be one "and I find myself in an equally perplexing position. I have no idea how I came to be in a land with mythical creatures and talking horses. Due to the fact that you have never seen anything like me I assume you don't know how I got here either."
>As you finish your little speech you look up to see an outraged look on the gryphons face.
>You look to the princess who has a bemused look on her face.
>"I hope I did not say anything rude." you say hurriedly
"Well in this land the word 'Horse' is an insulting term the appropriate one would be Pony. However saying that your surprised we can talk I can forgive you for your ignorance. But now you have me intrigued. What is your world like where 'Mythological creatures' don't exist and ponies do not speak?"

>Oops you just called called the princess what you can only assume is a racial derogatory term. WELL NICE START THERE.
>"Umm in my world dragons, gryphons, unicorns, and pegasi are creatures of legend. Most people believe they never existed and are just stories."
>Oh and how to phrase the next part. There is no way to say this without being offensive. Well she is the one that asked. It would probably be better left out that they are used as work animals however.
>"Hor...Ponies in my world are unintelligent. They are not sentient. They have no culture nor language. They are fairly mindless animals driven by instinct. I am sorry but I can think of no way to describe this that would not be at least a little offensive to you."
>She looks at you for a moment. Perhaps she is seeing if you are trying to make fun of her. Perhaps thinking of how to have you put to death
"Well that is disappointing. You were right before about me not knowing how you got here. However if you were to describe the events of yesterday that you remember before arriving here maybe we can figure it out."
>She invites you to sit at one of the empty chairs around the table she is sharing with Ingrid
>You sigh in relief. At least you are not going to be put to death for insulting her people accidentally.
>You describe everything that happened yesterday. She stops you now and again to ask you about certain things like "what is a car" and "What do you mean by national park".
>Finally when you are done she sighs and looks at the moon.
"Well while I do not know exactly how you got here. I have a good idea. Those ruins you hid in used to be the castle that I shared with my sister Princess Luna centuries ago."
>Centuries. Holy shit how old is this hors...pony?

"We chose to live in that place because it was an extremely magical spot. Certain" She seems to search for a word "occurrences would happen occasionally. A pony would disappear and reappear years later without having aged a day or knowing anything had happened. Sometimes magic happened there without a unicorn to use it. An earth pony might need something out of reach and it would float to them."
>She seems to brood on this for a moment. You are ask her what she means by earth pony.
"Earth ponies are ponies without wings or a horn they are born with incredible resilience and a connection with nature. Unicorns are ponies born with a horn. They have access to to magic using the horn as a conduit. Pegasi are ponies born with wings. They have a natural connection with the sky and weather. Ponies like me are called Alicorns. There are very few of us and we are the rulers of our kind. We have the gifts of all the kinds of ponies and then some more. We are bound to use our powers to help our people."
>That is a lot to take in. Innate powers from birth. That reminds you. "What are those marks you all have on your...sides"
"Ahh those are cutie marks. When each pony discovers their special talent their own mark appears. Each mark is unique to each pony however some are very similar."
>OK that seems pretty cool. You KNOW your talent as soon as you discover it. That would help back on earth choosing college majors.
>You then begin to wonder what yours would look like when you remember that Celestias talent was a sun. What kind of special power does she have?
"Back to how you got here. After I had a...falling out with my sister the magic of that place began to grow beyond control. It was unsafe as a single spell could cause massive problems so I moved my capital here to keep my people safe. I think that the magic of that place may have bled into your world. Would you say that you wanted to escape from your life?"

>Wow. I mean your life sucked but did you really want out? Yes. Yes you did. You wanted something to get you out of that dead end job. Anything at all. Well congratulations you got what you wanted.
>"Yeah. I wanted to escape the life I had there. I wanted to start a new life where I would be useful to others." you say quietly.
"Sometimes a hard life can make you wish to start over" she says to you.
>Was she trying to comfort you? You look up and see a smile on her face. She actually cares. This princess from another world cares that you were suffering.
>You smile at her and nod. You feel much better....feel
>You turn to Ingrid and ask "How are you feeling Ambassador Lightfeather?"
"I am fine thank you." She says after looking at you for a moment. "No really thank you for yesterday. I do not think I would have survived if you had not got me into those ruins."
>"How were your guards?" you ask her quietly.
She looks down and says "Two were fine just a little beaten up. However the one who was distracting the dragon and got hit." She seems to wince "He did not make it."
>You shake your head "I am sorry for your loss."
"Thank you." she says
>Princess Celestia looks at her with a look of sadness on her face and says
"Ingrid he will be remembered. From what you both said he will be hailed as a hero and buried in the Kingsyard."
>You look at her inquisitively
"The Kingsyard is the burial place of the kings of the Gryphon Kingdom. Anyone who gives their life heroically in protection of the royal family or its servants is given a special burial there. It is one of the highest honers they can receive."
>Ahh well that pretty damn cool.
"Now Anonymous, did I say that correctly?" you nod "We need to decide what to do with you."

>Well now that is a good question. What Is going to happen to you?
"As much as I would like you to stay here to answer more questions about your world I a little too busy to teach you about our world. Besides I do not believe Canterlot would be a good place for you. The people in this city are...not very open to new things" she says with a smile.
"Pigheaded about it even" says Ingrid with a sniff and a weak smile. "He would be welcomed at the Gryphon kingdom. He saved me so I know my uncle would not turn him away."
>her uncle, Does that mean she is the niece to the king. Woo friends in high places already.
"Yes dear he would be welcomed there but how would he get there. I cannot spare the pegasi to take him especially with the dragons acting how they are. You will not be returning for a few months either.' She says sadly.
>Not welcome in the city and unable to go where I would be welcome. What are they going to do with me?
"Wait! I have the perfect idea." The princess exclaims suddenly. "I can send him to Ponyville! My student Twilight Sparkle and her friends can keep an eye on them and teach him what he needs to know and she can report back to me on any questions I have. Besides that she is the best bet for you getting back home if you desire to."
>Ponyville? Twilight? I wonder why she will be my best bet for getting back. Oh well best not complain.
>"So am I more likely to be accepted in this Ponyville?" You ask
"Quite so." she responds "Many people who used to live in Canterlot but found it too...well stuck up would be the blunt way to say it live there. Twilight can help fit in there as well. And she is one of the most powerful unicorns in Equestria when it comes to raw magical powers." She looks at your hand. "You better wait a week or so to get that cast off before you go."

"When I return to the Gryphon Kingdom I would like you to accompany me. At least for a trip if you do not wish to stay. I know my uncle King Goldwing would like to meet you and learn of your homeland as well and I still have not gotten to appropriately thank you for your help" She smiles.
>Did she just flirt with you? Probably not. On second thought it was just her probably thanking you again for what you did.
>Before you can think much about it your stomach starts to grumble
"Oh dear I completely forgot dinner. You are welcome to join us if you wish. Oh but what types of foods do humans eat?"
>"Well most types vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, grai..." You see Celestia eying you with apprehension.
>You quickly say "We don't eat hor-Ponies. We eat mostly cattle, chickens, pigs, and fish"
"Well...Cows are intelligent in this world as are pigs and chickens." She looks at you like this may have been a bad idea. "But fish are a common staple of gryphons are are available here. I will have to set up some things to have them available at Ponyville as well. You best keep that you eat anything other than fish as a secret however. Some would not take well to it" She calls over a servant and sends for food
>Well that was dumb. Next time I need to think before I talk about that shit.
"Dont worry Anonymous" Says Ingrid "Us Gryphons eat other meats as well. We understand the way you are feeling. However we are not savages. Like yours our bodies require certain things. We mainly favor fish because they are easy to catch in large numbers. There are some creatures that are no smarter than fish that we eat however almost all are not found in Equestria and the ones that are, are so rare its not worth trying to find them.

>A few minutes of idle chat, mostly questions about your world, later and a serving pony comes in with your meals. For the princess a salad that would be appetizing without the flowers. For you and Ingrid bread, cheese, sliced well seasoned fish, and some sort of vegetable that you have never seen before but was quite good.
>When you are done eating the princess looks at both of you and says
"Well the sun has set and Luna has raised the moon. I believe it is late enough for us all to get some rest." She says with a yawn.
>Luna has raised the moon? What? Well she looks tired so that is a question for later.
>"Am I to return to the hospital?" you ask hesitantly.
"Oh dear no" Celestia says with a smile. "I have had a room prepared for you here in the castle."
"I can show them where they are" Ingrid says "He is in the minotaur suite two rooms down from mine right?" Celestia nods and thanks Ingrid and leaves the room
"I am not very tired yet" Ingrid says "How about you?" she asks
>You don't feel tired but you don't know what she has in mind "Not really. Why Ambassador?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to learn about the gryphon Kingdom and our culture? And call me Ingrid" She says smiling at you.
>"I would love to" You say "And call me Anon."
>For the next hour or so she teaches you about the gryphon kingdom. How they live in mountainous areas but hunt grasslands. How those sources of meat she was tell you about were Rhinos and Elephants. About their close relationship with the Zebra Kingdom. She tells you about the royal family and the king. She seemed to really enjoy telling you about it even though she looked a little sad when she brought up guards while telling a story about her sister.
>Finally you both start yawning and decide to hit the sack. She shows you to your room.

>Its a large room decorated with what seem like tribal decorations. The bed fits you but seems designed for something a foot or two taller than you. You also notice the carvings in the wall are simplistic but seem...well you would not call them erotic but questionable would fit. All of minotaurs in various compromising positions or holding the heads of enemies. You cant help but feel that this is what they were comparing you too. Maybe that is why they were surprised when you were nice. Oh well its not that late but you are unusually tired. You will think more about this tomorrow. For now the sleep hits you quick when you hit the pillows and you are filled with peace.
This is the first thing I had ever written at all. Trying to decide if I should re-write it and continue the story. If you could not tell it will be eventually about Anon and Gilda.

>You can hear the sound of those claws hitting as the gryphon drops
>A nearby moan makes you look and the gryphon on the ground is starting to get up
>Its tawny wings were slightly blackened and you could see hair and feathers burned away at spots, probably from the dragon, and that's why it could not fly
>A roar draws both of your attentions to the sky where the dragon seems to have gotten rid of the two other gryphons. The dragon is looking this way now.
>A cry shows the gryphon on the ground cowering when you hear
"N-n-no! Please no!"
>With such terror that it leaves you feeling cold.
>That gryphon can talk. Not only can it talk but its obviously a girl from that voice.
>Even worse, it sounds like your sister

"Ah well you must not know that dragons can eat ANYTHING! You may be poisonous but it would be worth the bellyache!"
>Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. That did not work. Maybe I should just give myself up. Fuck maybe this is all a drea-
"DRAGON! Your kind knows better than to enter my lands! You dare break our pacts?"
>A regal voice cuts through your thoughts like lightning
"Ahh princess! I only entered your lands chasing an intruder who entered my territory. I apologize I did not mean to intrude on your kingdom! I must have gotten distracted by the trespassers."
>Does that dragon sound...cowed? What could scare a- "Did that dragon just say princess?" you say out loud in confusion.
"Celestia! We are saved!"
>The gryphon cries out
>Celestia? The fuck
"Be that as it may dragon you are not allowed to hunt on Equestrian soil. This pact is close to 2000 years old and your kind knows it well. We have overlooked certain...mistakes in the past but our patience wears thin. Now leave Equestria and tell the rest of your kind that we are watching you. Closely"
>Whoever she is, she sounds angry.
"As you wish princess. Good day to you!"
>The tower shudders violently as the dragon takes off
"PRINCESS! ITS ME!"

"Ambassador Lightfeather? Is that you? Where are you?"

>A beautiful pegasi with a horn is in the chariot. Her mane and tail are an aurora of shifting colors caught in a breeze that is not there. She is wearing a gold necklace thing with a large purple gem and a golden crown. Her flank is emblazoned with a sun. She is twice the size of the pegasi around her and the only one sporting a horn. She is the most striking creature you have ever seen.
>In the air around her are about two dozen other pegasi all dressed in gold armor
>You see her looking down upon the gryphon (Ambassador Lightfeather?) and she is seems to be furious then her look cools to one of concern when she hops down off her chariot and says
"Ingrid dear are you ok? Where are your guards?"
>As she asks that she starts looking around and spots you. Her horn starts to glow and...suddenly you cant move. At all.
>Magic. Yep you are crazy. A magic flying talking unicorn horse.
"And WHAT is that?" She asks pointing her hoof at you. You also notice a large number of pegasi head over from the group and surround you.
>Ingrid looks at you and says
"I have no idea. But it saved me and then I believe it tried to distract the dragon until help arrived." She looks back at the Princess "My guards were trying to save me from that dragon when I last saw them." she sounds exhausted.
>you try to nod but you cant move you manage to say through a closed mouth "I was trying to help"
>For some reason the pain in your wrist is getting worse but you cant look to see why
"I thank you for that." Celestia says. "I would hate for something to have happened to my friend."
> The glowing around you stops and you understand why your wrist is hurting. From the angle its currently at it looks like you broke it.
>I think my wrist is broken" you say as you begin to shake. The sudden realization of everything that has happened seems to be sending you into shock
>You try to calm yourself down but all you can do is fall back on your ass causing pain in your arm from the shock of it.

"We were able to repair the lacerations that covered your back and shoulders as well as the bruising. We also found signs of a possible concussion and treated those as well. Your foreleg would have been repaired but the doctors decided to play it safe as we don't know how your body responds to magical healing.

"Arise. I do not believe we have been properly introduced. I am Princess Celestia, Princess and ruler of Equestria" she bows her head slightly in your direction "and this is Ambassador Ingrid Lightfeather of the Gryphon nation." She bows before you "Now I do not mean to be rude but I must ask. Who and WHAT are you? I have ruled this kingdom for a great amount of time but I have never seen anything like you before."
>You think for a moment about how to respond to this. You decide to handle this like a bit of game. You beg that your years of D&D don't fail you now.
>"Your highness" you bow low to her "I am Anonymous of the United States of America. I am a Human." You say with what you hope sounded like pride "Where I am from I am a scientist" small lie since you are trained to be one "and I find myself in an equally perplexing position. I have no idea how I came to be in a land with mythical creatures and talking horses. Due to the fact that you have never seen anything like me I assume you don't know how I got here either."
>As you finish your little speech you look up to see an outraged look on the gryphons face.
>You look to the princess who has a bemused look on her face.
>"I hope I did not say anything rude." you say hurriedly
"Well in this land the word 'Horse' is an insulting term the appropriate one would be Pony. However saying that your surprised we can talk I can forgive you for your ignorance. But now you have me intrigued. What is your world like where 'Mythological creatures' don't exist and ponies do not speak?"

>"Umm in my world dragons, gryphons, unicorns, and pegasi are creatures of legend. Most people believe they never existed and are just stories."
>Oh and how to phrase the next part. There is no way to say this without being offensive. Well she is the one that asked. It would probably be better left out that they are used as work animals however.
>"Hor...Ponies in my world are unintelligent. They are not sentient. They have no culture nor language. They are fairly mindless animals driven by instinct. I am sorry but I can think of no way to describe this that would not be at least a little offensive to you."
>She looks at you for a moment. Perhaps she is seeing if you are trying to make fun of her. Perhaps thinking of how to have you put to death
"Well that is disappointing. You were right before about me not knowing how you got here. However if you were to describe the events of yesterday that you remember before arriving here maybe we can figure it out."
>She invites you to sit at one of the empty chairs around the table she is sharing with Ingrid
>You sigh in relief. At least you are not going to be put to death for insulting her people accidentally.
>You describe everything that happened yesterday. She stops you now and again to ask you about certain things like "what is a car" and "What do you mean by national park".
>Finally when you are done she sighs and looks at the moon.
"Well while I do not know exactly how you got here. I have a good idea. Those ruins you hid in used to be the castle that I shared with my sister Princess Luna centuries ago."
>Centuries. Holy shit how old is this hors...pony?

"We chose to live in that place because it was an extremely magical spot. Certain" She seems to search for a word "occurrences would happen occasionally. A pony would disappear and reappear years later without having aged a day or knowing anything had happened. Sometimes magic happened there without a unicorn to use it. An earth pony might need something out of reach and it would float to them."
>She seems to brood on this for a moment. You are ask her what she means by earth pony.
"Earth ponies are ponies without wings or a horn they are born with incredible resilience and a connection with nature. Unicorns are ponies born with a horn. They have access to to magic using the horn as a conduit. Pegasi are ponies born with wings. They have a natural connection with the sky and weather. Ponies like me are called Alicorns. There are very few of us and we are the rulers of our kind. We have the gifts of all the kinds of ponies and then some more. We are bound to use our powers to help our people."
>That is a lot to take in. Innate powers from birth. That reminds you. "What are those marks you all have on your...sides"
"Ahh those are cutie marks. When each pony discovers their special talent their own mark appears. Each mark is unique to each pony however some are very similar."
>OK that seems pretty cool. You KNOW your talent as soon as you discover it. That would help back on earth choosing college majors.
>You then begin to wonder what yours would look like when you remember that Celestias talent was a sun. What kind of special power does she have?
"Back to how you got here. After I had a...falling out with my sister the magic of that place began to grow beyond control. It was unsafe as a single spell could cause massive problems so I moved my capital here to keep my people safe. I think that the magic of that place may have bled into your world. Would you say that you wanted to escape from your life?"

>Wow. I mean your life sucked but did you really want out? Yes. Yes you did. You wanted something to get you out of that dead end job. Anything at all. Well congratulations you got what you wanted.
>"Yeah. I wanted to escape the life I had there. I wanted to start a new life where I would be useful to others." you say quietly.
"Sometimes a hard life can make you wish to start over" she says to you.
>Was she trying to comfort you? You look up and see a smile on her face. She actually cares. This princess from another world cares that you were suffering.
>You smile at her and nod. You feel much better....feel
>You turn to Ingrid and ask "How are you feeling Ambassador Lightfeather?"
"I am fine thank you." She says after looking at you for a moment. "No really thank you for yesterday. I do not think I would have survived if you had not got me into those ruins."
>"How were your guards?" you ask her quietly.
She looks down and says "Two were fine just a little beaten up. However the one who was distracting the dragon and got hit." She seems to wince "He did not make it."
>You shake your head "I am sorry for your loss."
"Thank you." she says
>Princess Celestia looks at her with a look of sadness on her face and says
"Ingrid he will be remembered. From what you both said he will be hailed as a hero and buried in the Kingsyard."
>You look at her inquisitively
"The Kingsyard is the burial place of the kings of the Gryphon Kingdom. Anyone who gives their life heroically in protection of the royal family or its servants is given a special burial there. It is one of the highest honers they can receive."
>Ahh well that pretty damn cool.
"Now Anonymous, did I say that correctly?" you nod "We need to decide what to do with you."

>Well now that is a good question. What Is going to happen to you?
"As much as I would like you to stay here to answer more questions about your world I a little too busy to teach you about our world. Besides I do not believe Canterlot would be a good place for you. The people in this city are...not very open to new things" she says with a smile.
"Pigheaded about it even" says Ingrid with a sniff and a weak smile. "He would be welcomed at the Gryphon kingdom. He saved me so I know my uncle would not turn him away."
>her uncle, Does that mean she is the niece to the king. Woo friends in high places already.
"Yes dear he would be welcomed there but how would he get there. I cannot spare the pegasi to take him especially with the dragons acting how they are. You will not be returning for a few months either.' She says sadly.
>Not welcome in the city and unable to go where I would be welcome. What are they going to do with me?
"Wait! I have the perfect idea." The princess exclaims suddenly. "I can send him to Ponyville! My student Twilight Sparkle and her friends can keep an eye on them and teach him what he needs to know and she can report back to me on any questions I have. Besides that she is the best bet for you getting back home if you desire to."
>Ponyville? Twilight? I wonder why she will be my best bet for getting back. Oh well best not complain.
>"So am I more likely to be accepted in this Ponyville?" You ask
"Quite so." she responds "Many people who used to live in Canterlot but found it too...well stuck up would be the blunt way to say it live there. Twilight can help fit in there as well. And she is one of the most powerful unicorns in Equestria when it comes to raw magical powers." She looks at your hand. "You better wait a week or so to get that cast off before you go."
>She breaks into talking quietly to herself as papers fly over to her and a quill starts writing furiously
>Ingrid catches your eye and says

"When I return to the Gryphon Kingdom I would like you to accompany me. At least for a trip if you do not wish to stay. I know my uncle King Goldwing would like to meet you and learn of your homeland as well and I still have not gotten to appropriately thank you for your help" She smiles.
>Did she just flirt with you? Probably not. On second thought it was just her probably thanking you again for what you did.
>Before you can think much about it your stomach starts to grumble
"Oh dear I completely forgot dinner. You are welcome to join us if you wish. Oh but what types of foods do humans eat?"
>"Well most types vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, grai..." You see Celestia eying you with apprehension.
>You quickly say "We don't eat hor-Ponies. We eat mostly cattle, chickens, pigs, and fish"
"Well...Cows are intelligent in this world as are pigs and chickens." She looks at you like this may have been a bad idea. "But fish are a common staple of gryphons are are available here. I will have to set up some things to have them available at Ponyville as well. You best keep that you eat anything other than fish as a secret however. Some would not take well to it" She calls over a servant and sends for food
>Well that was dumb. Next time I need to think before I talk about that shit.
"Dont worry Anonymous" Says Ingrid "Us Gryphons eat other meats as well. We understand the way you are feeling. However we are not savages. Like yours our bodies require certain things. We mainly favor fish because they are easy to catch in large numbers. There are some creatures that are no smarter than fish that we eat however almost all are not found in Equestria and the ones that are, are so rare its not worth trying to find them.

>A few minutes of idle chat, mostly questions about your world, later and a serving pony comes in with your meals. For the princess a salad that would be appetizing without the flowers. For you and Ingrid bread, cheese, sliced well seasoned fish, and some sort of vegetable that you have never seen before but was quite good.
>When you are done eating the princess looks at both of you and says
"Well the sun has set and Luna has raised the moon. I believe it is late enough for us all to get some rest." She says with a yawn.
>Luna has raised the moon? What? Well she looks tired so that is a question for later.
>"Am I to return to the hospital?" you ask hesitantly.
"Oh dear no" Celestia says with a smile. "I have had a room prepared for you here in the castle."
"I can show them where they are" Ingrid says "He is in the minotaur suite two rooms down from mine right?" Celestia nods and thanks Ingrid and leaves the room
"I am not very tired yet" Ingrid says "How about you?" she asks
>You don't feel tired but you don't know what she has in mind "Not really. Why Ambassador?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to learn about the gryphon Kingdom and our culture? And call me Ingrid" She says smiling at you.
>"I would love to" You say "And call me Anon."
>For the next hour or so she teaches you about the gryphon kingdom. How they live in mountainous areas but hunt grasslands. How those sources of meat she was tell you about were Rhinos and Elephants. About their close relationship with the Zebra Kingdom. She tells you about the royal family and the king. She seemed to really enjoy telling you about it even though she looked a little sad when she brought up guards while telling a story about her sister.
>Finally you both start yawning and decide to hit the sack. She shows you to your room.

>Its a large room decorated with what seem like tribal decorations. The bed fits you but seems designed for something a foot or two taller than you. You also notice the carvings in the wall are simplistic but seem...well you would not call them erotic but questionable would fit. All of minotaurs in various compromising positions or holding the heads of enemies. You cant help but feel that this is what they were comparing you too. Maybe that is why they were surprised when you were nice. Oh well its not that late but you are unusually tired. You will think more about this tomorrow. For now the sleep hits you quick when you hit the pillows and you are filled with peace.

This is the first thing I had ever written at all. Trying to decide if I should re-write it and continue the story. If you could not tell it will be eventually about Anon and Gilda.
