After the hug, they huddled around me and we continued our Q&A session. I kept answering questions about life on Earth, wildlife, fashion, weather, etc. Needless to say, they were afraid when I mentioned humans are omnivores, but they relaxed once I said I wouldn’t eat any meat when I’m here and that we don’t eat ponies. Even after I talked about Earth’s problems and how some humans are, they still trust me and want me as their friend. I was truly lucky to have them as my friends. They finally stopped asking me questions after a few hours.
“So…what happens now?” I asked, rising from my seat on the ground.
“Now, Luna and I have something to give you.” I turned to see Princess Celestia and Luna making their way towards us.
“Princesses, you don’t have to give me anything.” Raising my hands up in a modest gesture “Having the honor to come and live here in Equestria is more than enough.”
They both smiled gently but Princess Celestia continued speaking.
“I believe you will find this useful during your time here” She turned to her sister “Luna, if you please?”
Luna nodded “Of course, sister” Turning around and started walking in the opposite direction.
She made her way back to the thrones and noticed her picking up a silver box that was in between the middle of them; she then comes back and places it on the floor in front of me, I then saw simultaneously Princess Celestia’s horn glow a golden yellow and Luna’s horn glow a royal blue, the horns then sent a bright beams of magic at the box and it began to glow bright, they soon stopped and the box glowed for a few more seconds then faded.
“Please Jeronimo, open the box.” Said Celestia; pointing to the box with one of her wings.
I slowly walked towards the box and I knelt down to get closer to it; I noticed the girls and Spike were curious so I gestured them to join me, opening the box, all of us gasped in sight of the contents. Inside the box was a beautiful gold medallion; I picked it up and I noticed on one side it had a combination of Celestia’s and Luna’s cutie mark while on the other it had the symbol for the Elements of Harmony, next to it was a silver ring which also had their cutie marks.
“W-what are these?” I asked; still staring at the two objects, awe-struck by the craftsmanship alone.
Celestia smiles and gently plucks the medallion from my hand with her magic.
“This medallion is very special; this will allow you to travel from Earth to Equestria and back whenever you wish, once you put it on, should you lose it, all you have to do is think about it and it will return to you. It also has a special time spell on it, what it does is that when you spend one week here in Equestria, it will only be a day on Earth and vice versa.”
“Wow.” We all said in awe.
The princess then levitates the medallion over to me and places it around my neck; as soon as she let go, the medallion began to give off a warm glow and I could feel it spread around my body, I smile and then turn my attention to the ring.
“And the ring?” I ask, pointing at it.

“The ring has a very special purpose as well. You see, I was going over the notes that Starswirl the Bearded had on humans and-”
She was interrupted by a gasp from Twilight. “Starswirl the Bearded!? You mean one of the most powerful unicorns ever!?”
Celestia laughs a little at Twilight’s reaction. “Correct, my faithful student. It was the spells he created that allowed Luna and I to see Earth and bring Jeronimo here.”
I raised my hand to catch her attention “Excuse me princess, but you said that he had notes on humans, does that mean that I wasn’t the first human here?”
She shakes her head. “No. He was only observing your race to learn more about them. However, he did find out something very interesting. It seems humans do have magic.”
“What!?” we all exclaimed
“Yes, humans have magic deep inside; but has been locked away for ages. According to Starswirl’s notes, humans seem to have magic not only like the magic unicorns have, but another kind of magic as well.”
“So…does that mean that…this ring…” Words failing to come out from what she’s said.
The princess smiles and nods “Once you put that ring on, the magic inside you will be released, should you want to put it on. Once it unlocks your magic, it won’t do it for anyone else; it will be locked onto you just like the medallion.”
I look at the ring in awe and slowly move my hand to pick it up.
“It is your choice.” Celestia reminded me.
After a few moments, I smiled and slowly put the ring on my right ring finger. Soon, the ring began to glow and I felt a great pressure in my chest, my whole body started to glow; the pressure was becoming painful to the point that I fell onto my knees. After a while, the pressure increased and a wave of energy was sent throughout my body, I stopped glowing and start taking deep breaths.
Fluttershy walks up to me with concern on her face “Are you OK? Do you need any help?”
“N-no…I’m fine…thanks anyway.” I slowly stand up and shake my head. “So…I have magic now?”
Twilight grins at me and her horn begins to glow, my body wrapped in an aura similar to her own “I can sense some magic in you, but it seems different.”
“Different how?” I asked curiously.
“It looks like the human magic Princess Celestia is talking about seems to be dominating the regular magic we know of inside you, it might be a while before you can use any regular spells.”
“So, that means right now I can only use my human magic? But how am I supposed to do that? I mean, I don’t know what it is I can…” I stopped talking as I soon felt a small pain on my head; I held my head and closed my eyes as I started to remember an old show I used to watch. As soon as I remembered all about it, the pain stops. ‘That was weird. Why did I remember that all of a sudden? Unless…’
“Jeronimo, are you OK?”

I open my eyes to see everypony looking at me with concern. “Yes, I am now, I just suddenly remembered something.”
Pinkie’s eyes lit up in excitement “Ooh! What was it!? Was it a game? A hobby? A talent? A happy memory? A-”
Pinkie’s mouth is then covered by Rainbow’s hoof. “Geez Pinkie, let the guy talk.”
I start to chuckle at seeing them “Thanks Rainbow, no, it wasn’t anything like that but…I think I know what my human magic is.”
“What is it? Do you think you can show us?” asked Spike with excitement.
“I think so, but I need you all to stand back, cause I don’t know what could happen.”
Everyone started to back away a little and soon stopped a few feet. I relaxed, closed my eyes, and take a deep breath; I take a familiar stance and remember the teachings of the show.
‘Let see if this works.’
I open my eyes and threw a punch in front of me and was surprised to see a gout of flames come out of my fist. Everyone gasped at what they saw, including me. I kept my stance and throw another punch getting the same result. ‘No way, Hmm, I wonder…’
I take a different stance and I push both my arms forward and a blast of air shoots out. I smile and started laughing. “This is awesome!”
“OK, that was really cool! What was that!?” asked Rainbow as she and the rest of the girls started to walk over.
“I…I think human magic is similar to the ability humans have in another story I know of. That was called bending, where someone can manipulate one of the four basic elements: water, fire, earth, and air. Although, I think my human magic allows me to control all four but I don’t want to try my water and earth-bending here and make a mess.”
“Amazing! To be able to control the elements!? You have to tell me more about this bending!” exclaimed Twilight
“I’ll tell you more about it later but I do know that I need to practice with all four, I don’t want to use them and put somepony in harm’s way. “
I heard hoofsteps behind me and see the princess walking towards us.
“I must say that is an interesting magic you have. I would like to see more once you have better control.” spoke Celestia.
“It would be my pleasure.” Giving an appreciative bow.
Princess Luna stepped up towards our little group “This certainly was a great day but I must go and raise the moon.”
Celestia nodded her acknowledgement “Of course sister”
Luna started to walk out of the throne room and everypony bowed as she walked towards the door, including myself. I felt a hoof on my shoulder and I looked up to see the navy blue alicorn facing me.
“Please Jero, there is no need for you to bow to me, you are my friend and I do not wish for my royal status to change that.”
I smile and nodded “Of course, have a good night Luna.”
“You as well, my friend.” She walked out of the throne room and closed the door.
“Well, it’s getting late and the train ride to Ponyville is gonna take a while so we better get going.” Said Twilight.
“No need for that Twilight” spoke Celestia “You can stay in the castle for tonight and leave tomorrow morning.”
Rarity gave out a great gasp “We’re staying at the castle!? Oh, that is simply marvelous!”
The Princess nods with a smile on her face and summoned some royal guards to help carry my stuff and lead all of us towards our rooms for tonight.
‘The guards don’t seem surprised about me at all, either they’re good at hiding their emotions or Princess Celestia told them I was coming.’
We soon stop at a large hallway with many doors surrounding us.
“Here is a castle suite for all of you for tonight” spoke Celestia, tilting her head to point down the hall “Then we can have breakfast in the morning in the main dining room, I’ll arrange for a chariot to take you all to Ponyville soon after.”
“Thank you so much Princess.” Said Twilight, stepping up to give her teacher a hug.
“Think nothing of it. Have a good night, my little ponies.” She walked away along with her guards.
“Well, we better get some sleep. Today was just an amazing day and I can’t wait for tomorrow. Good night girls.”
The girls and Spike give me a quick group hug “Good night~” They said in unison.
I smile and hugged them back and we all go into our own rooms, I open the doors to see a luxury suite that’s usually seen in movies. There was a king-sized bed, a balcony that overlooked the Canterlot gardens, a full bathroom, and dresser.
*Whistle* “Man, I can’t believe this is happening.”
I changed into my pajamas, took off my glasses, and soon lied down on the bed, falling asleep, dreaming of what adventures I will experience here in Equestria.
