After we had attacked the intruder we run over to make sure that he was still alive. See as how we used just a little too much force when we hit him with our magic. As we knelt down we were reassure by this pony that he was fine, but we could tell that something was wrong. It was the way he was leaning on his left side that confirmed this. After a short conversation of what he was, and how he apparently ‘got was coming’ to him as he put it, he then proceed to asked me to hand him his bag, and in kind I complied. I must add, this bag was quite weighed down. How any pony of his small stature could carry it simply amazed me. Had he been an earth pony it would have made sense, but he said he wasn't a pony at all.

Suddenly, we were called back to the present, as this human, as he had said he was, stood up in front of us. We didn't know what he going at this point, but we decided to keep a paralysis spell on stand by, just to be safe.

“My name is Edward Elric by the way, but my friend call me Ed for short,” he said while taking of his coat.

“We art called Princess Luna, but you could just call us Luna.” We said halfheartedly.

He then proceed to to splay it on the ground in front of us.

“Sorry for the late introduction,” he said apologetically.

“And just a quick heads up. These next few moments are gonna be a bit embarrassing for us both. So if you wanna turn away, or go somewhere else, I completely understand.” Ed stammered out nervously.

He then proceeded to remove his gloves, and as he did this we caught a glint of sunlight in the eye. We started to look around to see where the source was. As we did so, our gaze came back to Ed's right hand. It appeared that he was wearing some sort of armored gauntlet underneath his clothing. Well, that explains how he was able to take our magic with very little damage, or so we thought.

Ed then unbuttoned the button on his collar. Thus leading him to remove what appeared to be a sort of black long sleeved half-jacket. We also noticed that while he was undressing, that he was only using his left arm instead of both, causing us to raise a brow.

“I'm just going to have to to apologize in advance for several things that are about to happen, but first things first. Would you please help me got this jacket off?” Ed said with a hesitant laugh.

I have to say, I absolutely loved the look Luna gave me when I asked for help to get my jacket off. See, my right arm had gone limp after I had taken earlier blast to the chest from her highness. Any sensible person knows that it's extremely hard to anything with just one hand. With that in mind, I needed to change out my busted arm for a functioning one. In order to do this, I first had to get to the disconnect switches located on my shoulder, and to do this I had to remove my coat and jacket. Luckily I still had my sleeves shirt underneath the jacket.

Back on the task at hand, Luna stood up and moved over to me. As I turned to face the wall, I got her to get ahold of the collar of the jacket so I could simply walk out of it. This is when things started to get awkward. Luna was understandably nervous while she did this, and I was as well. I mean I literally just met my favorite pony in the whole world, and here I was having her help me undress. Actually, nervous was a huge understatement. I was trying with all my might not to shake as I came out of my jacket, my automail arm dragging out of its sleeve behind me as I walked forward. I then heard a slight eep that was follow-up with a sudden thud. I let out a sigh, knowing it was Luna, being the only other pony there, reacting to the sight of my metal limb. Taking advantage of the shocked state she was in. I proceeded to press the switches along my shoulder, disconnecting my arm. I chose not to look back at Luna at this point, because I already knew she was absolutely horrified at the sight I had forced her to endure.

“What is going on with your arm!?! OH Sweet Faust what have we done!?!” Luna screamed in terror.

“Now calm down Luna,” I said soothingly. “You definitely did not do this to me. My arm has been this way for a very long time now. I am simply replacing the busted one with a new one, so I’ll have use of both my arms.”

As I said this, I knelt down and began to rummage through my backpack. All while trying to calm down the shaking Princess in front of me. I was used to this reaction by now, having been in this situation one too many times s I had to deal with it every time I showed strangers my automail, or if I needed to change out one of my limbs for maintenance and was stuck in my coat. With this in mind, I had taken to carrying around at least a one spare of each. Once I had my spare arm out of my bag I immediately attached to my shoulder. It was a little stiff, but I had more than enough range of movement for the time being.

I now turned my attention back to the panicked Princess. As she was sitting in front of me, I looked into her eyes,and saw nothing but absolute terror and I couldn't blame her. I mean I'd freak out to if some guy I just met showed his arm, and then quite literally proceed to rip it off.

“It's gonna okay Luna. I’m as good as new.” I said as I moved my arm around for emphasis.

A few moments of tense silence had passed by, the both of us sitting on the ground.. I knew she had questions, why wouldn't she? So instead of sitting patiently for the questions I knew were, I decided to break the ice by giving her a quick run down of the events that had lead me here. Of course, after I finished my story, the first thing she asked about was my body.

“So how did you get your metal arm and leg?” Luna asked.

“I don't know exactly happened. Personally, I think it has something to do with when someone passes through the gate to come to another world. With that being said, I assume that I'm not the only person to have traveled to another world at this point. As someone passes through the gate, or whatever it is, they are somehow altered to better suit the version of whatever world they're sent to.” I said explaining my theories to her.

“What do you think happens once someone enters another world?” she asked while scratching her head.

“Honestly, I really don't know. If I had guess, it has a lot to do with the factors that are a their disposal; With their powers they're given, if they chose to dress-up to be someone else, the state of the world they go to, what they choose to do once they're there, their personality as a whole. It can be a number of different factors really.” I told her.

“Do you think it's possible for you to return to your own world?” She asked sympathetically.

The whole time I was talking to Luna, I was staring at the sky. That's when I realized I hadn't even once thought of returning to my own world. I mean, I had thought of my family and friends from time to time, but even when I did these moments were few and far in between.

“To tell you the truth Luna... I haven't even consider it a possibly. I mean, I've already lived in the world past the my natural life span. If we eat healthy, exercise, and maintain proper hygiene then we can live upwards to about 120 to 130 years. I know that this is, or rather should’ve been the case for me, having never withered away except for having to replace my arm or leg every now and then. But beyond that? I haven't aged in the slightest since I came. So even if I could go back to my world, there's nothing for me to go back to. All of my friends and family have already passed away. “ I said with lament… letting a brief moment of silence pass.

“Speaking of family,” I said with a smirk. “Do you have any living here with you? Not to be rude, but I find it hard to believe that you live in this huge freaking castle by yourself.”

Of course, I already knew the answer. I just wanted to try and keep the conversation going to calm her down a little more.

“Well, we do have our sister, and our teacher, who is like a father to us.” said Luna.

“So your sister is the one who represent the sun, while you represent the moon.” I say as turn to look at her.

“You know, while I was traveling, I heard stories that the sun and moon were no longer moved by a group of unicorns, but instead by two special ponies called alicorns. After I'd heard this I started to do all kinds of research on alicorns, but it always come back to that they were considered to be a long dead civilization or that they were a myth altogether. Well; until now that is, at least for the myth part.” I said, trying to make small talk.

“This was the same conclusion the our teacher came to as well.” said Luna.

“You never told me what your mentor's name was or your sisters.” I said, before mumbling to myself “Man trying to talk with this mare is like trying to beat Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts.” I mumble to myself.

“Well, our sister's name is Celestia, and our teacher's name is Starswirl. Another thing you assumed, is that there was no staff here to help maintain the grounds.” Luna said, pointing out my oversight.

“To be honest, I totally forgot about the castle staff. I mean, even though you and your sister are alicorns, it would still take a lot my ponies to take care of such a big place.” I said with a laugh.

“Well, as fun as this talk has been I do believe that I should be moving on to my next location.” I say as I start to put my belongs back in to my backpack.

After I've finished packing, I proceeded to pick up my jacket, coat, and gloves from the ground. Seeing as there was no real need for caution, I'd decided I would only wear the coat, if only to keep the sun out of my eyes while I walked. I looked down to my right with Luna looking back at me as I extend my hand out to her.

“Allow me to help you up Luna.” I said with a smile.

“We do have one more question for you before you go.” she stated melodically.

“And what would that be?” I say raising an eyebrow.

“Would y-you mind staying in the area for awhile so we could talk again?” Luna uttered nervously.

“Tell you what I'll do. Seeing as how I'm in need of a place to stay, at least until I can manage to either repair or replace my damaged arm. I'll set up a shop in the forest not too far from here, and you can come whenever you choose, or I can come to see you.” I said with a smile.

“We would like that very much!” she said with a smile of her own.

“Next time you'll have to introduce me to your sister and your teacher.” I said .

we meet the other two next time
