After I shouted at the thing, the manticore went to smash me with its fist but I managed to dodge it. In hindsight it was probably not a good idea to go up to such a huge beast alone unprepared (probably what Thor would have done).

"Let's see how you fare when there are many of me!" I shouted at the thing and then made the illusion there now many duplicates of myself (a personal favourite trick of mine I might add).

While the beast was distracted and ignoring the awe sounds of the ponies I went to its tail and managed to stand on it hard (though I had to stomp my feet a bit).

The beast then angrily faced me and then threw his fist at me-or he would have if I actually was there as I had another illusion taking that spot.

Then I gave him the illusion that I was on top of a building. When he went to reach for me the foolish beast accidentally tripped on his tail making it fall flat on his face.

I then faced the ponies, who stared at me in awe and then started clapping. I then went to find Twilight who was also clapping. She told me "that was amazing Loki!"

Smiled but then felt my cape being tugged, I turned to see a white female pony with a dark purple mane being the one tugging my cape. "Darling you must tell me where your get your clothes from" said the pony "this is absolutely FABULOUS!"

"Loki this is my friend Rarity, she is kind of Ponyville's fashion designer" Twilight explained. Rarity looked at me all excited; I had a feeling she was still wanting an answer as to where I got my attire from.

"Well nice to meet you Ms Rarity, I am Loki Odinson and sorry to say my attire comes from a long way from here" I said. I know that technically I am really Loki Laufeyson but I refused to take the name of the so called biological father of mine...especially since his death was at my hands. Rarity seemed disappointed before she walked away.

Then I heard noises, we turned to see marching in was an army of ponies wearing golden armour with a dark blue star emblem on them. They were carrying a carriage and on it was a white pony much larger than the others. Her mane was different colours but mainly dark blue, light blue, pink and purple. She had a golden crown on her head along with a golden necklace. Her Cutie Mark (as I could see) was of the sun and unlike the other ponies she had both wings and a horn.

"Fear not my little ponies the beast will be taken care off..." said the pony getting off the pony but paused at the sight of the fallen manticore. She then went up to it.

"Princess Celestia!" said Twilight walking up to the pony.

"Sorry Twilight but did you do this?" asked the pony who was apparently called Princess Celestia "this manticore was unleashed from the Canterlot Zoo and we had been chasing it since it managed to escape out of Canterlot!"

"No Princess I did not" said Twilight shaking her head.

"Then who did?" asked the Princess looking around. I then swallowed my breath.

"I did" I said and she along with the armoured ponies turned to look at me. They armoured ones looked ready to attack thinking I might have been a threat (and I doubt that I wasn't).

"May I ask who you are?" the princess asked me in a friendly tone, she seemed to be taking it well she was talking to a different creature.

"Loki Odinson" I introduced myself with a sheepish smile, the armoured ponies still in their battle pose.

"Do you know anyone by the name of Megan" asked the Princess, I would explain that statement to you if only I knew myself.

"Sorry I don't" I responded shaking my head, not really understand why she asked that.

"Sorry it's just that you are a human..." she started, if only she knew how far from the truth she was.

"I may resemble a human but I'm not" I said with no intention of giving her the full details "I am from the realm of Asgard!"

"Well welcome to my kingdom Loki" the Princess greeted looking kind and polite "I am Princess Celestia ruler of Equestria and I see you have already met my faithful student Twilight!"

She's the ruler and yet she's a princess? I wondered how that worked.

"Princess I found him knocked out in the Everfree Forest last night and I took him home" Twilight explained.

"I may want to invite you to Canterlot sometime" the Princess told me "but for now I'm sure you will be more than happy to stay at Twilight's! Is that alright my faithful student?"

Twilight nodded and the Guards (the ones with horns) started using their magic to lift the unconscious Manticore up before they went to leave. Before they left the Princess told me "and I hope to hear a friendship report from you Loki, if that's not too much trouble!"

After they left I asked Twilight "friendship report? What does she mean?"

Twilight explained "me and my friends write a letter to the Princess once we learn a lesson about friendship!"

You're supposed to write a report to your ruler once you learn a lesson about friendship? What kind of backwards kingdom is Equestria?

We soon went back to her home which I saw was actually a huge tree (I actually kind of expected that). The lights were off and as soon as Twilight turned them off there were balloons, streamers and the whole place was filled with ponies who shouted "SURPRISED!"

Then Pinkie Pie again bounced up to us saying "I know you said you didn't want a party but I thought I would give you one anyway to celebrate your defeat of that big meanie Manticore!"

Thousands of questions raced through my mind and one of them being: it would have been about ten or fifteen minutes since I defeated that beast, certainly not enough time to gather all these ponies and put together a party: so how did she?

I soon met three other of Twilight's friends: Spike a young purple dragon (I wasn't surprised at that point) who was the male I heard Twilight talk to when I was unconscious, Applejack an orange pony with a western earth hat and an accent to match, Rainbow Dash a blue pony with wings (a Pegasus) with a rainbow coloured mane (weird even for Equestria standards) with arrogant to rival Thor's an a shy yellow Pegasus with a pink mane. Rarity was also there as well and again she was asking about my choice of fashion.

After who knows how long they left and the party was finally over, I kept getting badgered by questions of what I am and what I could do. Back in Asgard parties Thor would steal the spotlight while I would be alone, the longer that party went for the more I missed those times!

Soon before I went to the bed Twilight set out for me I took a quill and a piece of paper to write my so called report to the princess.

Dear Princess Celestia

Today I learned all of the ponies here are CRAZY!

VERY sincerely

Loki Odinson

I wrote the letter as quickly as I could, give it to Spike to send (as Twilight showed me) and then I went to bed!
