BAM!

Princess Celestia was surprised by the crash of the double doors, bringing an abrupt end to her daily routine of signing papers. While she kept her magical grip on her quill, her advisor dropped her papers with a startled gasp. The sudden surprise made the princess wonder what was going on.

"You can't come in here!" she heard Shining Armor shout.

Celestia looked at the entrance to see a crowd of her golden-armored royal guards, her captain at the head. They were surrounding the source of the supposed trouble, trying to prevent that pony from entering. It was not an easy task as the guards were having a hard time subduing said pony.

From the grunting and shouting, one voice shouted–no bellowed–over the others, "GET OFF ME!"

Celestia's eyes widen. It would have been unrecognizable from the volume and it took her a while, but she knew who it was. "Guards, stop!" she ordered, standing from her throne.

Thankfully, the princess' voice had been heard over the ruckus. The royal guards stepped aside, though with much confusion, especially with Shining Armor. Now, Celestia could see who it was standing before her.

The intruding pony was not really, but a biped being. His mane was short with a raven black color, and his face had a fading red hue over the usually tanned skin. Most of his body was covered in clothing: a simple white suit of those of nobility completed with matching pants to cover his two legs.

Celestia's eyes met with the blues glaring at her with accusation. This being, this human, gave off waves of hatred and the Princess suspected as to why.

"Everypony, leave us," she ordered, her gaze never deterred.

Shining Armor raised an eyebrow. "Princess?"

"I said leave us," Celestia repeated much more sternly. When they remained still, she spoke softly and sincerely. "He will not harm me. Now go."

Now, the guards took their leave of the throne room and one by one, they were gone. Even the princess' advisor left, though in a rush to avoid whatever was about to follow. Shining Armor, the last one, was at the door when he casted a glare of suspicion to the human. "Let us know if anything happens, princess," the captain told her.

"I will, captain. Thank you," his princess replied, her gaze still on the human.

The doors closed behind Shining Armor, leaving the two alone in the throne room. For a moment, there was a silence that hung in the chamber. That was until the human spoke.

"'I won't harm you?'" he repeated with a sneer. "What makes you think I won't, Celestia?"

Celestia calmly reminded, "I control the sun here. You realize I have enough power to do more than stop you."

"Yeah, I do," the human snorted, the soles of his shoes clicking on the floor as he walked to Celestia. "Do you know why I'm here?"

Though she suspected, the princess masked it with a reply of "I'm afraid I don't."

The human's face twitched a bit, but he decided to humor the princess. "I was in the library, talking with Luna. We were discussing about teleportation spells when she told me something very interesting," he barked a bitter laugh. "She told me the reason why I was here in your god-forsaken kingdom, Celestia."
