Druid in Equestria 4

>Your sleep last night was restful
>But you still had a letter to send.
>A human in Equestria is troubling but Twilight's letter seems to be normal.
>Reading over it again she made a new friend, maybe human's are not so bad from another world?
>This human being a druid may be an issue, but that’s Luna's territory, maybe a requested visit?
>A requested visit sounds good, but if it's too early you may be acting too soon.
>Thoughts mingle in your head as you begin reading farther into the letter.
>Maybe you are reading too far, it's in standard friendship report format that Twilight enjoy's.
>Just added with some pages on what she learned, even measurements of his size compared to his forms, well his cat form at least. Twilight reported him having bear and bird but she hasn't seen it.
>He clearly has social skills and is intelligent, maybe more so then what human's were back then.
>Brief experiences with humans in your past hold your mind but are quickly dismissed.
>If this Anonymous is an issue then guards can surely handle it.
>A guard running into your court pulls your attention from your thoughts and work.
>After catching his breath. "Your highness, it has returned."
>It?
>IT!?
"Find Princess Cadence and Shining armor, you.... Wake my sister!"
>The guards raise a hoof before running off "Yes your highness!"
>Raising a blank letter you begin to roll over how to approach this.
"Forgive me." You whisper to yourself as you begin writing.

Perspective change

>You were having such a relaxing dream.
>At least before Twilight’s voice entered talking about making flash cards on everything she ever learned.
>Naturally you began to stir as Spike started talking
>Why in gods name are you some how wrapped up in this blanket!
>"Twilight, calm down, you're going to wake Anonymous and it's just a test."
>Eventually you get the blanket unwrapped as you emerge from the blanket into a fully lit room with some pony friends!
>Rubbing your eyes as Twilight keeps going
>"Just a test?" Rushing over to him she gets in his face "Just a TEST! I sent a letter to Princess Celestia about finding new life and she wants to give me an exam and you're telling me to calm down because it's just a test?!"
>Looking around the room with a clearer vision you find Applejack and Rarity standing next to a familiar yellow pony with a pink mane and wings.
>Next to her is a blue pony with wings and rainbow mane
>"Mornin' sugercube!"
>"Morning darling!" Applejack and Rarity both beaming at you.
>The blue one seems to have gone on the defensive taking to the air as you gaze back over at Twilight and Spike
>Spike has acquired a helmet and some pillow armor.
>"Uhh yes"
>Twilight's horn begins to glow as energy pours off it.
>Applejack makes a comment as the energy built up in Twilight's horn expands outward  blinding you.
>It's felt like an earthquake is happening as you are pushed against the wall as the energy explodes.

>Coughing a bit as you open your eyes many of the other ponies do the same.
>Spike is plastered to the wall as his pillow armor holds strong.
>Looking around the room black spots fill the room and even on your clothes.
>Some how the black spots didn't get on the ponies, just you and various places of the library.
>Twilight is panting in the middle of the room as you stand up to dust yourself off.
"Feeling better?"
>"UGH" Twilight stomping off upstairs.
>Looking at the others you shrug.
"So what's going on?"
>"Princess Celestia sent Twi a letter fer some test, she wants her in Canterlot today."
"Interesting, hope I didn't cause-"
>The blue pony gets in your face.
>"So what exactly are you? Everyp0ny is talking about some hairless monkey that can talk."
"Oh, hello, I'm Anonymous, a umm, human."
>"And how do we know you won't hurt anypon-"
>Rarity cuts her off "Rainbow Dash!" Rarity protesting at her friend
>She ignores her as she keeps going "How do we know you didn't get Twilight in trouble and this test is because of you!?"
"Well I have no idea-"
>"Of course you don't! You just walk out of Twilight's house and around town scaring ponies."
"Well I met most of the ponies after visiting Rarity, they seemed nice for the most part."
>The yellow pony is now trying to say something but it's muffled compared to Applejack and Rarity trying to talk down their friend.
>"Yeah well I don't trust you! You appear out of no where with no warning scaring half of Ponyville!"
>She gets closer
"I was friendly as could be, using even a calming voice-" You get cut off once again.
>"Friendly for how long! Are you gonna hurt my friends cause I won't let you!"

>Her hooves push against you pushing you into a wall as she closes in.
>"Your already causing problems so why are you here?! You're causing Twilight stress from the princess and Ponyville is-"
>You are beyond annoyed as she continues her rant.
>You miss everything she says as she shoves you again.
>Going on the defensive you push her back
"Back the fuck off you rainbow colored fuck. Not even from this world, Twilight saved my life and-"
>You're cut off as a hoof connects with your face.
>No thought process as you grab her shifting to cat form mid hurling her to the ground.
>Pinning her down you bare your fangs hissing in her face.
>Any guts she had before is gone as you stare into her fear filled eyes.
>Pushing your paw once more into her chest you lift off walking away, letting your little outburst wear off as you sit in a corner watching the others.
>Slowing your breathing, something begins petting your head.
>Naturally you jump as you open your eyes to see the yellow pegasus rubbing your head.
>You hear Rarity talking to Applejack and Rainbow cunt as this yellow one starts talking really quiet, your only able to pick it up because of your cat like hearing.
>"It's okay, she's just being protective, that's all."
>Looking into her eyes you feel safe.
>You nod in understanding as you shift back.
"I believe I owe you a thank you if I am correct? I don't believe I caught your name?"
>"Oh, I'm Fluttershy."
"Thank you Fluttershy, for saving me a few days ago."
>"Oh it was no problem at all, but how are you able to become an animal?"
"I'm a druid, I can change forms."
>"Wow that's amazing!~ what else can you change to?"
"Bear, bird and cat."
>"That's so wonderful! What's it like being an anima-"

>Fluttershy is cut off as Spike falls from the spot he was lodged in the bookshelves.
>When he hits the floor he spits out a black scroll
>Groaning he picks it up and opens it.
>After looking at it for a bit he hands it to you.
>"From Princess Luna."
"Huh?"
>The fighting around the room ceases as you unreveal the scroll.
>It turns out to be a letter and thank god the inside of it isn't black.
>'Anonymous, we require your presence at Canterlot castle. Please travel with Twilight so you arrive in a timely manner. Also bring that strange white stone she mentioned.     Signed, Princess Luna.'
"Princess Luna wants me to travel with Twilight..."
>"HA see you are causing problems for Twilight!" Rainbow Dash pointing at you.
>"Rainbow Dash!" Rarity smacking her with a book.
>Ignoring the rainbow cunt you head to the stairs.
>Walking up Twilight's door opens.
> Face-full of bag and a few books you find yourself on the floor.
>"Oops sorry Anon! I can call you Anon right? It's shorter."
>Removing bag's and books from your face you nod your head, handing Twilight the letter
>She quickly reads it before giving it back.
>"Well get ready, I'm ready."
>"Wait you're not seriously taking him with are you Twilight!? He's clearly causing problems and why the Princess is giving you this test!" Rainbow dash in Twilight's face now.
>A purple glow moves Rainbow dash to the side.
>"I really doubt that, but just in case-" A bunch of little cards end up in your hand "I'm gonna need to know everything about you!"

>Looking down at the cards, you drop them. Gathering your things you attempt to clean up your robe.
>You're not removing this black stain with out help.
>But with Rarity helping you! She takes your robe quickly cleaning it in Twilight's bathroom and squeezing the water out with magic.
"Thank you Rarity."
>"Of course darling, you have to make a good impression!"
>"Come on Anonymous!" Twilight calling you from outside.
"When did she get outside?"
>"She teleported out when you 'an Rarity were cleanin' your robe thingy, I reckon you hurry up before she leaves ya." Applejack pushing you out the door
"Doubt she could if she Tried."
>Opening the door the sun beams down on your head as you look around.
>The rest of the ponies walk out with you.
"Which way did she go?"
>"I reckon to the train station." Applejack points a hoof.
"I will see you guys later. Nice meeting you Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash don't get in my face."
>With that you shift to bird form taking to the air leaving the group gasping.
>Hopefully this doesn't cause too much issue but being asked to meet with a princess seems kind of important.


>Being so high made it easy to find the train station.
>It reminded you alot of the tram in Iron Forge, except outside.
>But what worried you was Twilight seen getting on the train, she looks worried as Spike helps her carry a bag.
>Must be way too stressed to remember you. No big deal, just fly down and...
>Oh.
>The train's taking off.
>Mentally you sigh as it's gonna be a long flight it looks like.
>Flying over the train as wind flows under your wings.
>Taking in the scenery you are amazed at how colorful everything is.
>Passing over green trees as the train goes through a mountain coming out the other side.
>Following the track it leads to some city in the mountains.
>If only you had a map, or Twilight wasn't in a hurry.
>In a way you can't blame her, you wanted to look presentable.
>If you knew you had no time you would have just left.
>Oh well, maybe meeting this Princess Luna won't be so bad.
>Oh train is stopping! This place must be Canterlot?
>Circling overhead until you find the purple unicorn bolting out of the train.
>"Must be the place!" your voice ringing in your head
>You float over head until she reaches a castle looking building.
>Well fuck... this will be interesting... need a place to land out of sight.
>Flying over head you make mental notes of the market district and where ponies are gathered.

>Eventually you find a quiet alleyway.
>After circling a few times you dive in shifting back.
>A quick check in your side pocket you have the letter.
>Walking out of the alleyway ponies immediately take notice of you as they put on expressions of fear or curiosity.
>You smile hoping to relax them a bit as you begin walking toward where you saw Twilight enter.
>Climbing some stairs you find Spike sitting on a bench.
>He easily sees you jumping off the bench
>"Anonymous! What are you doing here?"
"Twilight kinda ditched me, Luna requested me to come with."
>"Oh... That makes sense, she kept saying she forgot something. But how did you get here?" he questions
>A quick shift to bird form and raising your wings answers his question.
>But this also grabs the attention of some white ponies wearing gold armor.
>Shifting back you giggle a bit as Spike backs up.
>Slowly you reach into your bag and pull out the letter as spears start surrounding you.
"eheh, Princess Luna requested to see me?"
>The letter is yanked from your hand in a blue glow.
>He nods to a unicorn as the spears drop.
>"Stay here." The unicorn who took your letter puts it back in your hand. "And don't change like that again!" his tone very serious
>Holding your hands up you say "Sorry."
>After they walk away you shrug to Spike who’s laughing.
"I had no idea they were guards, I'm still getting used to this place."

>You started making small talk with Spike until a dark blue pony sporting a horn and wings. Poked her head out.
>Her mane looked like the night sky last night.
>You also took note of how she's taller then most of the ponies you have seen.
>After she spotted you, her and two black ponies with bat wings wearing black armor came out following her as she approached you
>"Are you Anonymous?"
>Getting off the bench you bow
"I am, and you are Princess Luna?"
>"Yes, may we talk to you in private?"
"Of course, see you later Spike."
>Leaving Spike you follow Luna as the two bat pony guards surround you.
>It puts you on edge as you walk into the pearl castle.
>Taking in the sights as you follow the Princess.
>Various art work is on the walls until you reach a dead end with colored glass art.
>Looking at it some of the artwork seems to be familiar to you.
>"You can wait outside, we will be fine."
>You hear the guards instantly leave but not entirely, they may be hiding behind a corner.
>"So, Anonymous, tell me about yourself."
>Luna walks to a colored mosaic window looking at it.
>Slowly you join her as you begin talking.
"Well, I guess it would be better to ask what would you like to know? Or what do you know?"
>"Hmm, your world, what is it like?" Her tone soft but still serious
>Looking up at the art window, six figures it in have a small beams shooting up into what looks to be a dark pony shedding into another pony.
"My world is... not as peaceful as this one. It's also not as colorful. We don't have ponies like your kind. We have horses much bigger but they don't talk. Many races fill my world, from tiny Gnomes the size of your... fillies, to monstrously sized Tauren who wield great weapons. Or blood thirsty Orcs who for the sake of honor or a good battle will fight."

>Moments pass before Luna speaks again
>"What of humans?"
"Humans... are in the middle of everything. Some want to just live a simple life, wake up, go to work, come home, relax and sleep and repeat. Some want to fight for glory or honor. Others an easy hit for some gold coins."
>"And thou? Sorry, you?"
>You smile at her correcting her speaking.
"Interesting questions you are asking. Mind if I ask why?"
>"Humans used to walk this earth long ago, but they disappeared. Such dreadful creatures, they wanted nothing more then to kill and steal. The ones with magic were awful. Humans raided ponies, Griffons and Minotaur. Even Changelings. Even themselves."
>Luna visibly shakes as she sighs.
"You are worried for your kind. That only makes sense."
>"Yes, which brings us to the topic of you. What of you?"
"I'm just a druid who enjoys inventing things."
>Slowly you begin picking out who these figures are out of the artwork.
>Twilight and Rarity.
>Pinkie pie and Applejack.
>Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.






>"And druids in your world?"
"Fighters, protectors, lore keepers and healers."
>Silence creeps over both of you before Luna speaks once more.
>"May I see your hearthstone?"
>You fish it out of your side bag handing it to her.
>She takes it from your grasp as she looks at it.
>"Human's had these way back then. Curious you have one, Celestia said Twilight managed to figure it out."
"She said it's energy was depleted, that she had to rekindle it."
>"Hmmm."
>Watch her mess with the stone for a bit.
>"Anonymous, she didn't rekindle it. It lost it's bind."
>Ping of fear creeps in your heart.
>What.
"What?"
>"She bound it to herself."
"But... then... how do I get home?"
>"I'm not sure, but while Twilight will be busy with Celestia's task, I am willing to help if you want."
>For some reason, the thought of the hearthstone not being bound back home doesn't surprise you so much.
>You should have figured it out but you let your fear of not getting home cloud your vision.
>Sighing, Luna hands you the stone back.
>Putting it in your bag you stare at the artwork again.
>"Don't druids have a spell to bring them back home across vast distances?"
"We do... I never learned it. Just like how I never learned to speak in form."
>"Oh? Why is that?"

"What happened to druids here, in this world?"
>"They went mad, some slowly lost their minds to their form. The form that took most druids from us was a beast that walked on two legs. It had fangs and claws that could rip anything in half. But it's not the druids fault. Eventually we learned the name of the two legged walkers, Worgen. The druids said they handled the situation, any worgens were put into a great sleep with the remaining druids overlooking them."
"Interesting, your world never found a cure for the curse?"
>"There's a cure?!"
>Luna's eyes meet yours.
"Depends on what you call a cure. You still have to live with the curse, but you gain your mind back, some even their bodies. Tell me, who were the druids in this world? Ponies?"
>"Mainly Minotuar, but some unicorns as well, although it was rare."
>You feel something tap the back of your head but when you look nothing is there.
>"Tell me, why didn't you learn the spell to return home?
>Another tap on your head distracts you.
"I didn't take the time to learn it, always thought I could just fly there, Hearthstone home and catch a ride."
>Scratching your head it feels like a Gnome is chipping away at your skull with a dull dagger.
>Hmm wonder why Luna's horn is glowing.
"I was always out on an adventure or a quest. Making a new device. After I learned how to shift and some basic spells I set out to see the world."
>"Interesting. You are an interesting individual, more so than I thought. I will tell Celestia you are not a threat. I hope you will excuse me, it's way past my bed time, I must be off."
>The tapping on your head stops as Luna's horn loses its glow.
>Shaking your head a bit.
"Bed time?"
>"Yes. Someone has to wake up to rise the moon."

"Pffth wut?"
>Luna stops mid stride to look at you.
>"Hm?"
"You seriously control the moon?"
>"Yes, why? Come along I must introduce you to my sister.”
>Shaking off information you just heard you catch up with Luna.
>Leaving the room you find the two guards outside just as you thought.
“So I have a question, If humans were such awful creatures why didn't Twilight have any information on them?”
>”We like to keep some things away from our ponies, no point in causing a stir. Some times the odd myth of a human gets out but it's nothing bad. Some like to go on wild rants about how humans are dangerous or monstrous creatures with out having any knowledge to back it up. Really something you had to see.”
“H-how long ago did humans walk this world?”
>Luna stops looking up for a bit.
>”It's been... Two thousand years since I last saw one, besides you.”
“This world... I have seen some strange things in mine but some how this world always throws something new at me.”
>”Kinda like a human, let alone a druid ending up in our castle.”
“I guess.”
>Luna begins walking again as you walk with her, eventually you find Twilight talking to a much bigger version of Luna. Except she has a white coat and rainbow mane moving as if the colors themselves flowed.

>As you walk closer you hear the white pony talking with a soft regal voice.
>”Assist Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.” Twilight turns to you and Luna causing who you are guessing is Luna's sister to look.
>”Anonymous!” Twilight jumping “Oh my gosh! I forgot you I'm so sorry!”
>You couldn't help but smile.
“That's alright, I made it didn't I?”
>You see Luna and Celestia talk to each other quietly.
>The white ones gaze seems to loosen a bit at your presence the longer Luna talks to her, eventually it becomes a smile.
>”I'm sorry Anonymous, Princess Celestia needs me to leave.”
“That's fine, you act like I can't keep myself busy in a brand new world.”
>”Right, I'm sorry but I have to go meet the girls.”
“Of course Twilight, goodbye. And good luck on what ever it is you are doing.”
>”Thank you... How did you get here exactly?”
>You look around for guards.
>They. are. everywhere.
“Bird form, sorry was already at spear point showing spike. Eheh.”
>”Alright.” Twilight grows a frown. “I need to go and tell everyone whats going on. Bye Princess Celestia and Luna, Good bye Anonymous.”
>You wave as Twilight trots out the door.
>Turning your attention to Celestia and Luna they seem to be sporting a relaxed expression.
“I am Anonymous, from what I am able to gather you must be Princess Celestia.”
>”Correct. Anonymous where are you staying currently?”
“Well, Twilight's, but she has a task so I may just retreat to the woods for a bit, do some exploring.”
>Luna nudges Celestia
>”Well, if that is what you want, but may I extend an invitation to stay at the castle until she gets back? Maybe get to learn a bit about you and you this world?”

>You begin mulling over it in your head.
>Luna briefly told you of the horror's humans have brought. Maybe some correction might help.
>Plus staying at a castle, be a fool to not accept that even if it's from random royalty.
>A real chance to learn of these ponies and world would be nice.
>Also gives you the option to talk to Luna about a way home again.
>Worse happens, hearthstone to... Twilight...
>Wonder if it will take me to Twilight’s house or Twilight her self.
>Wonder if I can bind it to myself
>What happens if I use it then!
>Celestia coughs waiting for your answer
“Oh right sorry, I would love to.”
