Crysteen meets Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle.
NEW BEGINNING
By
CRYSTEEN
Year: Unknown
Country: Equestria.
Location: Ponyville.
I was lying in a bed, with sheets and a blanket. With matching pillows. I was staring up at the ceiling, running thoughts through my head.
I am a PONY!
But not just any pony. An ALICORN!
But... this is not happening. I should be dead, disintegrated by the ships explosion.
But apparently, I was teleported, and transformed, then dumped on this strange new world.
I looked at my wings again, gingerly spreading them out, marveling at the structure.
I wonder how hard it is to fly?
Getting at of bed, I walked, unsteadily on four hooves, to the mirror and looked myself over.
Reddish hair, or mane, with a tail to match. The mane was unkempt, tussled from the sleepless night of tossing and turning.
Then I looked at the horn, yellow, like the rest of my body. It was a spire shaped, and according to my host Twilight, a unicorn's horn.
So I'm suppose to do "magic"? Sounds absurd, but back where I came from, we had furs who could do amazing things, healing by touch, teleporting, (which Twilight can do, so magic isn't so far fetch), turning invisible, creating fireballs.
Actually, I shouldn't be too surprise about talking ponies living like furs and humans, it seems like we were created from someone's imagination.
"Crysteen my sweet, it seems like you have entered an whole new universe." I replied.
Down stairs, Twilight Sparkle, a purple unicorn, was busy talking to Princess Celestia about her new "guest".
The princess was extremely interested and concerned about her students latest hiccup in her spell casting. The thought of a new universe of different species has her intrigued, but the current situation of a strange new pony in Equestria, one with "dual" equipment, has got her worried over what her subjects would think, and do.
According to Crysteen, Herms were as common in her world as Unicorns and Pegasus are in Equestria. So a herm alicorn, a special kind of pony that is only obtained through powerful magic, born from a spell gone awry is unheard of.
"So Princess, what should we do? Should we lock her up because she's different? Or welcome her into the herd, and hope she doesn't disrupt our daily life?" Twilight exclaimed, prancing back and forth.
Spike the baby dragon, arms full of books from his mistresses recent search, stopped and replied.
"Maybe she learn how to be a pony, while she's here. Give her the option. It is her life, and aren't we always teach about tolerance and understanding? Remember Zecora? She was treated with fear and mistrust, until a little filly taught us different." then he continued on with his chore.
"Spike's right." Twilight sighed.
"Well it's settled. Crysteen will stay with you, learn our pony ways and report on her findings. And if she needs to speak to me about anything, all she has to do is use this mirror." the princess replied, revealing a small hand held mirror.
"How does she operate it?" Twilight asked, taking the magical item from her teacher.
"All she has to do is say my name, and I will be able to talk to her."
Twilight Sparkle placed the mirror on the table using her magic, then chated with the Princess on other matters, when they were interrupted by Crysteen, stumbling down the stairs. She was having trouble walking on four legs when she was use to walking on two.
"Are you alright my dear?" The princess asked, rushing to Crysteens side, concerned for her well-being.
"Yes, apparently so. Still trying to get a handle on my balance and walking." the alicorn replied, then bowed, awkwardly at the princess.
"Well my student Twilight Sparkle will tend to your needs as best she could, but if you do need to speak to me for any reason, you can use the mirror on that table to contact me." Celestia replied, before leaving.
Twilight Sparkle bowed to the princess, then closed the door. Crysteen looked at the mirror, wondering how shi could hold it in hir new hooves.
"Well, ummm what do you wanna know Crysteen?" the purple unicorn asked, sheepishly.
"For starters..." hir belly rumbled, reminding hir that shi hadn't eaten in awhile.
"Ohhh you must be hungry. Just give me a moment and I'll get Spike to fix you lunch." Twilight replied, dashing off to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Spike the small dragon emerged with a plate of food, aware that his new house guest was staring at him.
"What?" Spike asked, looking at the pretty alicorn.
"Ohh, it's that I haven't seen a dragon before." shi replied.
"That's ok, I haven't seen a ummm" Spike thought for a moment for the correct word to describe Crysteen's uniqueness.
"Herm?" Crysteen added, finishing Spike's sentence and saving him from embarrassment.
"Yes. You are very... rare." he replied, scratching the back of his head.
"How so?" Crysteen asked, sniffing the plate cautiously, which comprised of carrots, lettuce, apples, tomatoes and something that looked like straw.
"Well in all of Equestria, there have only been boy and girl ponies." he watched her face of disdain.
Twilight noticed it as well.
"Is something the matter Crysteen?" she asked.
"Ohh, it's nothing, really." Crysteen replied, leaning in to take a bite of the apple.
"Please Crysteen, if something is the matter, tell me. We have no secrets here."
Crysteen sighed, chewing the juicy apple before swallowing the mouthful.
"Ok, it's just that, I'm a omnivore." shi repled.
"Omnivore? What's that?" Twilight asked.
"Someone or something that eats meat and vegetables." Crysteen explained.
The look on Twilight's face was one of horror and disbelief.
"Ohhh, well. Ponyville caters for herbivores. So we had no training in preparing for carnivore's, and frankly, the thought of eating another living being is too gastly."
"And what about you Spike? How do you eat meat if that's the case?"
"WHAT?! ME EAT MEAT?!" Spike balked, his face going pale. "NEVER!!" he exclaimed.
"Spike eats gems and vegetables. He's not a carnivore." Twilight replied, getting a little upset.
It was at that moment there came a timid knock on the door.
Spike opened the door to reveal Fluttershy, a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail.
"Hello Twilight, hello Crysteen." she replied in a quiet voice, as she carried a knapsack full of items.
"Ahhh Fluttershy, glad you could make it. It's about time Crysteen started her lesson today."
"Only if she wants to." Fluttershy squeaked, blushing as she looked at Crysteen, unsure about how to address the alicorn with both genders.
"Lessons? What lessons Twilight?" Crysteen asked, curious.
"Today, you'll learn how to fly." she replied, smiling.
Crysteen looked her wings and gulped.
Oh Boy, shi thought to hirself.
