"Princess you asked for me?" Black Lotus asks as she stood there holding her lance to the side.

"Ah yes, Ms.Lotus I've been evaluating your relationship with Aiden and I'm happy to say that I'm proud of you, but I'm also a little upset too."

"I'm very very sorry if I disappointed you in anyway? Say the word and it's done!" Black Lotus asks in a frantic way.

"What I mean is you have an extremely healthy relationship with Aiden, you protected him since he was a child and I want you to continue to protect him as his personal bodyguard and more importantly him as your boss. I'm giving you the chance to swear complete servitude to Aiden, that is if you think you can continue protecting him the way you've done it for the past eleven years?"

"S-servitude? That means he'll be my boss and I'll have to be with him wherever he goes?" Black Lotus looked excited she smiled nodding as Celestia nods back.

"It's only until Aiden agrees you may begin to serve as his royal servant so please continue your work until he arrives back from White Leaf, you're free to go miss Lotus." Black Lotus bows as she leaves the throne room, a smile larger then most ponies as she finally got her chance to guard you with her life and if her life permitted sacrifice it for you.

Elsewhere...

"Will you relax! It's just visiting another kingdom nothing special." Seeing Dago so happy and excited sorta annoyed you, today you'd be meeting humans from White Leaf. From what your mother told you, the human colony was a fairly large area of White Leaf that was donated and given to humans as a way for them to live in peace.

"But no other kingdom has real actual breathing humans!" Dago jumps and start to circle around the chariot. "Real humans Aiden! Do you know what that means? I mean I should be asking why you're not excited, you are about to meet your people! That's kind of a big deal."

"I dunno I mean just because I'm a mixed human hybrid doesn't mean I'm not the same like any other pony, emphasis on pony since I barely know my human heritage." You mention with a shrug.

"Until today! Now you're about to learn what your roots are!" Dago couldn't help but to chuckle at his unintentional pun as the chariot lands, the large open area of the tree trunk top was a reminder that you were indeed an important figure of White Leaf's history.

"You shouldn't forget Dago they'll probably cleanse your body so you don't infect them." You say sighing, everything was explained from a letter sent by your mom.

Since the flu like virus was potent in Equestria that meant that anybody who was a pony had the virus on them but since it only affected humans the ponies wouldn't really be known to have the disease it was mandatory for ponies to actually get decontaminated as a precaution.

"We're talking about a shower right? I can sustain that." Dago mentions smiling.

"Well actually we decontaminate a bit different." Carmelita mentions with some shame.

"Really how?"

"Flora user cover your body top to bottom with special spores that eat away the virus."

"Does it hurt?" Dago asks

"Oh no you will only feel a pinch." Your mother mentions waving it off.

"You don't have to worry for them though since you are inmune and all." Ah yes immune, since you were a half bred that mean your appearance reflected that of human, but internal you were a deer. The virus wouldn't hurt you or get you sick, you were glad you wouldn't have to go through that process just to enter the colony.

What exactly is the virus? Well it was both an advanced and mutated form of whooping cough, the main reason why the humans died in the millions was because of that. A fairly common sickness which mutated and decimated anything in its path.

"Yay." You say unenthusiastically as you walked forward.

"Come on Aiden…this is family that we're talking about, don't you even want to meet your uncle? He hasn't right?" She shakes her replying with a simple no.

"From what I heard of Deidra humans don't really like it when ponies are mating with their species. It's fine for deers to be with them but mention a pony they go really mad, I couldn't even bring Milky along because crap like that." You were really disappointed at that aspect, Milky has been constantly asking to meet your mom, and you did show her Cookie Crumbles from time to time and Milky loved her. But meeting a queen would blow her mind.

"Then you change their minds! Think of this as…you trying to turn things around, seriously dude, you could at least try to smile." Dago gives you a dead pan look as you chuckle and sighed.

"Fine I'll smile, maybe thinking about Milky will ease my mind." You chuckle, though as you began to think about her silky smooth coat, the soft smell of vanilla in her mane, along with those voluptuous curves of hers. You stopped yourself from getting anymore graphic and intense, you only needed a few seconds of the thought and nothing too extreme.

"Sure whatever, just keep things clean. So when do we leave?" Dago asks

"As soon as you are ready." Your mother mentions her smile still apparent as ever.

I'm ready, I'll wait for you at the entrance." Dago say taking fly and making the wind start to pick up.

"Boy is he excited" Carmen has to remove some hair from her face "What is wrong with the weather? Its usually not this windy." Carmelita asks mostly to herself confused for the crazy weather change

"He's a special little snowflake, mom I understand I have to be happy but I can't really be when my own girlfriend and possibly next queen can't be with because they're scared of equestrians. And you probably want to meet her too, it's probably possible in the near future." You said smiling as your mother simply nodded and sighed.

"You only need to give them a little time sweetheart humans are still…sensitive around ponies, too many memories of the past still fresh, with luck and with time those scars will heal, you can help in making the first step in healing it."

"They better get comfortable with the aspect of having an equestrian as a queen, right now I don't see a deer in my future. Well I think it's time I meet my aunt and my uncle, it's gonna be really awkward with aunt uh what's my aunt's name?" You asked

"Kayla, and your uncle name is Eric, Kayla is my little sister who like me fell in love with a wonderful human…I think that runs in the family." She says smiling.

"Right, who exactly established the rule for no equestrians? Was it a group vote?" You ask the curiosity burn a whole through your skull.

"Its was your father's idea." She looked extremely when she mentioned it, though that brought up more questions if your father created that rule then did he intend for Equestrians to be hated by humans and all creatures of the world to be hated or loved. One thing you knew for damn sure was that Deers and Gazelles were on the love list.

"My what now? No way he'd make that rule, didn't he care about ponies?" You asked desperate for an answer that you couldn't even say.

"He does care it's just Aiden..." Carmelita tries to find the correct words not able to say a thing. "Aiden before the virus was unintentionally created your father love the ponies just as much as he loved any other species but then…something happen, something that changed him, I don't if it was all the stress on him or something else but I'm not sure at all."

"So now I gotta tell my mom and my dad, my two little sisters, my girlfriend, and my bodyguard friend that my dad was a xenophobic person. Great." You mention with a sigh.

"N-no goodness no! Your father wasn't xenophobic I know he wasn't, he was just…scared, what those ponies did to him…can you blame him for the fear and hostility to a species after a large group that claim to be your friends destroyed your race in one foul sweep."

"Considering that you didn't raise me of course you'd side with him, I suppose if dad was alive or hell if you raised me I'd be xenophobic too?"

"Of course not! I-I am good friends with Celestia I met your parents I ASKED to be part of your life, do you think I would had done that if I was xenophobic?!" She exclaim being truly hurt by your words, you always hated seeing your adoptive mother cry and seeing your blood mother cry just killed you as much as seeing your adoptive mother cry.

"How would I know? Dad, the person I look like is someone who'd hate that I fell in love with a pony and most likely the very reason why you and I were separated."

"A-Aiden please, don't shut yourself from me too." Clearly she didn't want you to leave her again, but what exactly did she think would happen if you were told that your father hated the creatures who saved your life and nurtured you.

"I won't I just need time to process this, I understand it wasn't your fault or dad's fault I'm just so angry that someone I would look up if he were still alive would hate the real me, the element of harmony, the big brother to two pony sisters, and his future grandchildren albeit my kids would probably look like deer and pony hybrids."

"If you wish we can pospone your visit to see your uncle, I could try to talk some sense on him."

"No, Dago wants to meet humans then he's going to meet them. I'm not gonna stomp on his dreams."

"Yeah…but we will keep it short we don't want to make things tense right?"

"Tense or not, maybe Dago will find a cute human girl and bother her for a change."

"I didn't think he was the ladies man type." Carmen says with a laugh.

"You might be surprised, I am a good teacher. Just please don't lie to me about your true self as well." You say sighing

"Promise, all you get is my honesty" Carmen say with a smile as you both leave.

Later...

Looking over the railing of the wooden castle that was White Leaf's treehouse castle was the southern area, the southern area highly contrasted White Leaf's natural and clean forest area. Though White Leaf was a massive kingdom a small part of the kingdom was given to humans as a land free from others. And originally where your father was born, though White Leaf's forest was extremely massive the human's colony had extremely advanced technology which looked out of place and looked as if it was a secret military base.

As you approached the entrance to the colony you stood there in awe your race created this, the place where humans can be safe and sound.

"Wow, even their doors are impressive, or there is a race of giant humans to boost?" Dago asks you two.

"Dago dear that is a wall, not a door." Carmelita corrected as she says smiling.

"Oh well it's still impressive!" His perkiness still showing.

"Who goes near the walls!" One of the border guards shout as they point their weapons towards them until they spot Carmelita not flinching to the weapons.

"You idiots that's the queen! Let her in!" One of the guards shout, though in all honesty your mother has nerves of steel so scaring her would be impossible. Though the same couldn't be said for you and Dago as you were practically shaking.

"And I'm prince Dago son of princess Celestia, nice to meet you!" Dago waves at them with a smile as they pass by, they didn't seem to care who he was.

"Queen is it wise that you bring in ponies to the city, even your own child has adopted ways of ponies." The guards say with concern. "I don't mean to offend you miss, but your own son may be a risk."

"As far as you're concerned, you can keep your mouth shut and let me worry about myself." You say harshly you were still hung up on your father's blatant xenophobia. Your mother sighs and decides to just ignore the comment while intervening so things don't escalate further.

"Where can I find Eric? We came so he, and my sister could meet their nephew." Your mother points to you as you seemed a little proud.

"Both are in the royal estate, and I would suggest you bite your tongue sir." One of the guards said to you,

"I'm really not in the mood to be dealing with guards like you, so please if you don't have anything nice to say then keep your mouth shut." You say as your hand glows with a dark blue aura showing you were getting ready to attack

"Hey Aiden look!" Dago approaches with one of the guards weapons making the one that was arguing with you and a couple more guards to fall to the ground in fear while he was spinning the weapon. "A real functional gun! I just seen pictures of this, doesn't it look awesome?"

"Yeah, they look powerful even more so then the weapons back home." You say smiling. "Though I might not want to mess with a weapon like that."

"Why?" Dago ask but as he did he accidentally pulled the trigger and broke the photo of the guard of the month earning some glares towards him. "Oh right…sorry." He reluctantly gives the weapon back as they take it away.

"And you can wait outside, pony." One of the guards mentioned passingly.

"You do know I have diplomatic immunity?"

"Lets go Dago, you don't want to start anything bad."

"Something tells me they're gonna be following you all day Dago." You mentioned shaking your head in complete annoyance.

"I think you are overreacting Aiden, it was just an accident, and I promise I'll be on my best behavior." Dago stops when he notices a group of female humans passing by, it was mostly because the only remote interaction to humans was through you and females to your knowledge were rare well to your eyes that was. "Aiden are those…real mare humans?"

"They're just called girls, not mares." You say with a chuckle, you look at them and smile. "Wow they do look cute."

"I know, if I weren't here to know more about humans I would totally go talk to them." He says with a smile as he sees the girls leave.

"Maybe later, for now let's just get to my uncle's and hopefully he won't be xenophobic." You say sighing still ashamed.

"How could he? he's your uncle, being nice is in your blood."He said with a smile as you all approached the royal estate, Dago stopped and smiled waiting near the entrance. "This is a family moment I'll let you go first, let me know when I can come in."

"Alright, and I'll tell you later why I'm worried." You said smiling, the estate was massive the stress leading up were like grand hall level stairs as they split off to two separate locations in the house. You looked around to see paintings and plants of different varieties some that looked extremely old.

You walked into a parlor room, it was open ended with several potted plants around, one thing for sure was that the colony adopted the plant life surrounding the house from White Leaf.

Looking towards a small coffee table you spotted a mare, she had a silver colored coat with a fluffy white colored collar fur. She was significantly shorter and contrasted your own mother, your mother's coat looked like any other deers coat it's just that your mother had majestic looking antlers while the mare had none.

"Aiden!" The mare shouts as she runs up to you, she enters a rather tight and bone crushing hug that surprised you and frankly probably would've injured you if you had heard your name and tighten yourself up.

"Oh I'm so glad to finally meet you! Oh I'm so glad you're okay, how was your trip was everything smooth, did you eat anything come come sit sit!" She happily takes your hand as she forcefully sits you down.

"I'm sorry Aiden, but this your aunt and my sister. Kayla, she was rather fond of you when you were just a tiny buck. She often took up babysitting jobs when your father and I decided to have a night to ourselves." Your mother mentions smiling as she sits down across from you gracefully as ever.

"Oh uh it's fine mom, I'm just surprised people actually grieved over my disappearance. I wouldn't think people cared since I was just born a few months before I was unexpectedly taken." In actuality you knew next to nothing about how you ended up in Equestria, all you knew was that your adoptive mother and father kept you after seeing you on their doorstep just as cliche as ever.

"And why do you doubt that we didn't care for you? I've told you countless times ponies mourned for your disappearance you not being in White Leaf, your country was stress put upon that most parents wouldn't be able to endure. The important part of everything is that you're here." You sighed and nodded, just the fact she said that was reassuring enough. You could only think of the very few times ponies cheered you up with words. Like your adoptive mother cuddling you when you were scared of thunder, or the times your father would take you camping and you'd hear rustling from the bushes only to find out it was just a squirrel or a smaller animal.

"I'm sorry I think I'm a little worried is all." You say with a sigh.

"Ah Aiden you finally arrived, it's a pleasure to see White Leaf's next King." You looked up to see a human man, he looked older then you. He had a five o'clock shadow, he wore a white lab coat as his hip housed a small firearm, his smile looked rather gentle and soft yet something told you he was strong.

"I-it's a pleasure to meet you sir." You were still unfamiliar with your own kind and how to interact with them. He smiled and laughed as he saw your outstretched hand.

"Oh come now Aiden, I'm your uncle. We're family so get in here." He lets out a manly sounding laugh as he hugs you patting your back.

"Oh this is really nice! Seeing my big strong stallion hugging my little nephew." Your aunt happily mentions with a smile as the two of you separate. Though you still had the apprehensive look on your face as your uncle looked at you with concern.

"Aiden? What's wrong?" He asks, you looked down and shake your head.

"I'm just a little torn on my family is all." You mentioned with a sigh.

"Is this about your father?" He asks as you looked up in surprise. "I know a lot of your father's past, he was a great man, a bit of a womanizer often told me about how he loved getting mares into bed." You swore you saw your mother glare at your uncle as he back peddled a bit.

"A-anyway your father was also a decent man, he treated everyone he met as a friend. Always happy meeting someone new, and always was enthusiastic about the pursuit of science. Though you shouldn't doubt him just by xenophobia he had a good reason to be afraid of ponies."

"What was that reason?" You asked as your mother shook her head.

"Nows not the time for that, please go and get Dago." Your mother looked strained but of course she'd feel that way, you constantly tried to fish for info about your dad might it be small or large. You let out a sigh and left the meeting area and walked outside to the front yard, you saw Dago petting a pigeon as he leaned over the stone railing.

"How did it go?" He asks as he turns to you smiling.

"It was great, they were friendly and really cared about me. Even told me that my father was a little like me when he was my age, well little is an understatement they pretty much said I'm like an exact copy of him." Things were slightly tense with you and Dago but you suspected they it was your doing.

"Cool…so can I meet them now?" He asks as you had stayed silent for a few minutes.

"Y-yeah come with me, oh have you meet Deidra's dad I'm just gonna warn you that he's pretty intense hell he holsters a gun to his side just in case of attacks." You say with a chuckle

"Attacks from what?" Dago asks with confusion.

"Well I'm not sure, I'm just assuming he was paranoid then again he doesn't strike me as the paranoid type." You two enter the tea room to see your mother talking with both your aunt and uncle. They all looked happy something you rarely saw in your mom as years passed.

"Hello your highness." Dago mentions with a smile.

"Your highness, no no. I'm not royalty, I'm merely the leader of this colony." Your uncle mentions with a hearty laugh

"Sorry, habit, so how should I call you then? Mayor?"

"Just call me president that's all I am, I try to protect my people and help them feel safe from the world. Not many ponies visit The Colony due to my race's paranoia." Your uncle mentions

"Why is that?" You ask turning to him.

"It's not my part to say but many humans blame ponies for their hand in creating a rather potent version of the small pox virus, though it was an accident humans still have that memory with them." You were confused and tilted your head.

"But I live in Equestria I'm surround by ponies 24/7, if it was so potent then why am I not dead?" You ask

"That I don't not know it may be because of your biology, your exterior reflects that of a human, yet your interior reflects that of a deer."

"So if more humans had a deer in their herd the next generation might be inmune to that disease?" Dago asks

"It isn't that simple, the only reason that i know of Aiden is immune is because of his father. Before his father was a man of science he travelled the world often going to Zebrica. For what reason? I don't believe I know, often he'd be gone for months on end." Your uncle mentions

"Doesn't that strike you as suspicious?" You asked as your mother shook her head.

"Before your father and I wedded he was dating a dancer from Zebrica, i have my suspicions that he may have fathered a child but I'm not certain." Your mother mentions as you were surprised.

"Holy crap, way to go dad." You mumbled

"Hey that means there might be another prince or princess for White Leaf in Zebrica, wouldn't that be funny?" That made your eyes widen as you looked through the diary.

6/7/1990

Visiting Zebrica during the summer time isn't the best idea. Though I do love Yuma with all my heart sometimes I wish she'd come to the Colony with me, though she cannot as the dancer for the royal family of Zebrica her bloodline must stay, though I fear for my daughter within her belly that she'd never meet her other side of life. As part human the little filly must be around other humans as well, though I told Yuma about this she refuses to leave. I don't want to bring it up in risk of hurting her feelings I don't my daughter to just live in one place. Maybe I shall visit Equestria and ask advice from King Orion he has his share of love stories and seeing as he's going for Celestia I can only guess what he'd say. Though I'm not certain he'd take my side, he's often a hopeless romantic then again so am I. If I were ever to have a second child I hope my child and his child become the best of friends or if not they become great leaders.

"What are you reading bro?" Dago ask noticing the book in your hands

"My dad did have another child and apparently her bloodline is group of royal dancers from Zebrica. And he mentions someone named king Orion, mom do you who he is?" You asked

"He's Dago's father." She says looking down. "I'm sorry Dago but I can't say anything more. But Aiden your older sister she's alive and well but her mother Yuma unfortunately passed away the same time as your father." Your mother mentions with a sigh.

"Wait, wait, wait…you…you knew my father? All this time you knew who my father was!?" Dago asks in surprise.

"I promised your mother I won't say a word about him, she wants to tell you herself. Unfortunately that was years ago, I still don't believe she hasn't told you about him. Anyway I met Orion through Aiden's father, apparently Aiden's father worked as a chief scientist for your father. Apparently he created a rather advanced weather system." Your mother mentions. "Those two would often stay up late trying to figure things out about the world."

"This…this is too much to process right now…w…would you excuse me?" Dago flies off before anyone could answer, you were more concern about Dago.

"Mom I need to know my sister's name, I need to meet her." Your mother nods and smiles.

"I hope your answers, here her name is in this slip of paper. You'll be able to meet her easily after all you're royalty." You nod and look outside before chasing after Dago

As you ran out the estate you looked up to the sky to see destroyed clouds that looked exploded and spread out.

You sighed and decided just to run for it and begin chasing Dago.

Later...

You finally caught up to Dago as the trail had ended, but it ended near a rather tall building. Probably the financial district of the colony, you were pretty angry that you had to climb up to the tippy top of the building.

"You're the worst friend!" You say panting as you had to climb up the building once the elevator let you off near the top.

"How did you find me?" He asks not turning to you.

"Your trail." You pointed out as a destroyed cloud drifted in front of view.

"I'll apologize to your uncle later, right now I think I need a couple of minutes alone."

"Alone? Why? Are you mad about your dad or something?"

"No I'm not mad at you or anyone in that castle either." He says sighing.

"Then what are you mad at?" You asked

"Nothing…I-I'm just…trying to process all that I just heard, I suppose that is making me mad."

"Look what you heard was a small bit of what I'm pretty sure tells the story of your dad and my dad's friendship. This tiny book has it all and especially since I learned I have a sister!" You say with excitement.

"I'm not so sure if I wish to know about my dad anymore. I mean they were all friends, Your dad worked for mine, He was a king, is he still a king? of what country, why didn't try to reach me? Does he hate me? Each answer only brings another question, it's just too much for me to process." He looked stressed angry almost.

"Well I never knew my dad or saw anything of him. You shouldn't think that way if your dad since I'm not thinking that way towards my dad." You mention with a smile.

"You just found out you had a third sister, why are you not freaking out?" He asks

"Because I feel good under pressure. I mean this girl is my blood sister, not adoptive can you believe that! Of course I'm scared, on the outside I'm cool and calm but inside I'm screaming." It was true seeing your sister for the first time was like punch in the stomach you were going to meet this girl, whoever her dancer mother was if she attracted your father then she was certainly something.

"Well for me I just don't know what to do, last time this kind of truth bombs went off I lift a castle, I don't want to lift White Leaf now."

"Dude you were unstable and a young alicorn, plus you almost killed me but that's besides the point. My point is you just gotta push through it, like you always do. You went through a break up, you were hurt but what happen you got back up and with a smile tackled the world."

"yeah its true" he say still not complete convince "but what now? I can't tell mom that Carmen told me her secret, it will ruin their friendship"

"Well how about I ask your mom who Orion was, it says he went after Celestia, she'd be backed into a corner."

"I suppose and its in the diary so Carmen could say she didn't knew that your dad wrote about mine"

"Exactly, now all we have to is get off of this building. I'll meet you down there." You climb over the railing and jump turning into pollen just before you hit the floor

He soon reach him "Thanks for cheering me up Aiden"

"Now let's go back to the castle, I'm sure there's some left over cake from our meeting we left early." You say with a laugh as you flipped through the diary, it was filled with descriptions of people you never met and even accounts of Orion's wedding, whoever Orion was he had to as powerful as Celestia to make Dago.
