They escort me to the royal building, the princess is waiting for me. Obviously she had been informed about my presence, her height is slightly lower than mine. Her appearance is imposing. I’m in the presence of a goddess.

I’m in a throne room. Princess Celestia exists, this world exists and I’m here. Some people would be happy with this. For me it means that something changed, everything changed. I’m in an alternate reality, I’m lucky I have data about this reality, but I’m still going to be judged by the most powerful being of this world.

The guards force me to kneel. You don’t notice the intimidating they are until you watch them do their job from my point view.

I focus on don’t think. Think can be dangerous.

She speaks, her voice is firm and aggressive. “Human, I know what you are, explain your presence in my domains.“

My mind’s still focusing on don’t think. “I don’t know how I came here and I don’t know what I want to do either.“

Her horn glows but nothing happens and I don’t feel anything. I notice. She’s trying to read my mind. She opens her eyes in surprise. She knows that I know it. She knows I have my mind blank. She knows I’m hiding information.

I speak. “You know what I am, you know what my kind can do, your actions are wise and I understand. I’ll tell you what you want to know, but I want to say it just to you.” I point the guards around me.

It’s not like it’d be different if I say it just to her or in front of others, but I know that personal contact is more propitious to generate confidence.

“Why should I trust you? “ Says the goddess.

“You know I’m harmless to you, and you want to know something about me.”

She makes a motion with her foreleg and the guards go away looking at me angrily.

“Speak, but first, how you avoided me to read your mind?” She asks.

“I didn’t think.” I answer instantly.

“That does not explain why I couldn’t see your thoughts.”

“I don’t have any.”

She’s silent. I start to speak. “You know about my world. You know about the nature of my species. You’re not surprised with the fact that I know you and your city. Therefore you know about the show as well, so I’ll skip those details, your highness.”

Her face shows a little surprise, but her expression is still severe. Normally nothing intimidates me, but we’re talking about a god. I have to be careful.

“My name is not important, not even for me so call me as you please. I don’t know how I came here nor how to get back, I just want to be alive.” I make a little pause.

“I can’t return you to your world, and I don’t know if I should allow you to live in this one.” Says the princess.

I take a little breath. “Then I’ll talk about myself, and I hope to convince you that I’m not a threat. I won’t lie. I’m of the worst humans in my world, or at least that’s the common opinion.

I’m a psychopath. I can’t feel anything for other beings and I don’t feel empathy. I don’t understand the difference between good and evil and I can enjoy others’ suffering without remorse. Not having social skills made me build my own behavior code and goals.”

“You are not trying to inspire confidence, are you?” She says jokingly.

“If I say something good about me, the lie would be obvious. The reason why I’m not a threat is because my code, my rules can be summarized in: Always decide what benefits to third.” The princess-goddess raises an eyebrow. “I decided to use my lack of feelings and hence my lack of hate to be a benign part of society.”

Her horn glows again. This time I don’t hide information, in fact, I gift it to her. I called to my memories of the world and my opinions about it. It’s not like I hate my world. I can’t hate. I just consider it a waste of potential. I see people that can have good feelings for others and decide to have negative feelings. Those who are like me become harmful, my species could be so much more than it already is. I just can’t stand to such a waste.

The voice of the goddess leaves its aggressive tone. “It seems like you don’t lie, but your nature is not benign.” I can’t deny that.

“I understand your carefulness. I want to add that I don’t want to damage this world, you know that I know it through the show.” She nods. “It always have caught my attention the fact that you’re people… I mean, ponies live in the harmony I seek for my own kind.

If I have to spend the rest of my life here, then I just want to learn from you. You’re an admirable species.”

The ruler of Equestria is silent for a few seconds. I’m very impatient, my future is being decided.

She opens her mouth. “You will live in the castle. You will sleep in the dungeon. You will interact only with those who are inside the castle. They will provide you food and cloth. If you prove that you are not a threat, you will be free. Otherwise if you hurt just one of my little ponies…” She doesn’t complete her sentence.

I bow at her kneeling. “Thank you, your highness.”

“I can’t just call you human. You can’t be treated like that for the castle personnel either. How do you want to be known?” She gets me to choose my name. Ok, let it be the word that more identifies me.

“Reason.”
