Eight years. Eight long years had passed since I had arrived in this world full of ponies. And in that time I've spent it doing the one thing I could hope to do with my life, become a teacher and pass on my knowledge to a successor. Sorry if I'm confusing you, I tend to ramble sometimes. "Teacher, are you okay? You spaced off for a while." The voice of my faithful student snapped me out of my thoughts. Locomotive, a proud unicorn of the age of fourteen who I took under my wing so long ago, and now a very dear friend of mine. "Sorry about that, just have a lot on my mind right now," I said while patting his head. "What are you thinking about exactly?" "Just about how long I've been in Equestria. Can't believe it's already been eight years since my house landed here out of one where."

I let a deep sigh out and continued to stare out the window, contemplating my thoughts until I felt my student's hoof on my right knee. "Do you regret your time here?" he asked. I could only smile and tussle his mane. "How could I regret the best thing in my life?" We were close to each other where one would think we were brothers but to me it felt more than just that, almost like he was my son. Locomotive chuckled at the comment, "So what are we going over next time, Teacher?" "Well I was thinking we look over some-" A knock at the door interrupted me and we both looked at each other confused. I wasn't expecting anyone over today, or at all for that matter. But little did either of us know was that our lives were about to change.

3rd POV

Teacher had opened the door to find a strange sight in front of him. A white Pegasus stallion in gold armor stood there with a serious look on his face. "Are you the new creature that goes by the name of Teacher?" the stallion asked. Teacher was a bit uneasy by the stallion but answered him. "Yes, is there something I can help you with?" "The princesses wish to seek audience with you at once." That caught his attention immediately, he'd heard of the two princesses before around town. How they co-ruled Equestria and were responsible for raising the sun and moon but quickly dismissed that as complete nonsense. "What for, I've done nothing wrong," Teacher said defensively. "You are in no form of trouble sir; they just wish to speak with."

He told him to bring them in and not half a minute later, these two large mares came to his door step. One was an alabaster white with a mane and tail that reminded him of an aurora. Wore a gold necklace and tiara, horseshoes, had violet eyes and a sun cutiemark. The other was a midnight blue, black necklace and tiara, sea green eyes, mane and tail like that of a clear starry night, and a crescent moon cutiemark. What made them stick out he most was that they had both horn and wings, more than likely making them a rare type of pony, (kinda figured them to unicorns because of the whole sun and moon nonsense).

"Hello, my name is Princess Celestia and this is my little sister Luna. We are the co-rulers of Equestria and you must be the one that calls himself Teacher, am I correct?" Celestia said. "That's correct, and how may I help you today?" he said, keeping calm and collective but also ready in case of anything. "May we come, it would be better if we spoke in private," Luna said and I let them pass. The four of us stood there in an awkward silence until his student broke it. "Um, would you like me to make some tea for our guests Teacher?" Locomotive asked. "I think that would be a good idea." "Would you like anything as well?" "Just coffee is fine." While the student left the room the three took their seats and started some conversation.

"Well, why is it that you want to talk to me anyway?" Teacher asked the rulers. "For the past eight years we've been hearing a continuous rumor of a new creature that just seemed to appear out of nowhere in Ponyville. We didn't think anything of at the time and dismissed it as a rumor, though here we are proven wrong," Luna said. "Not only that but my student, Twilight Sparkle had also informed me of this creature as to be hostile when confronted, though you don't strike me as such." Celestia's expression was easily readable by Teacher; she was trying to pick on anything that might strike her as bad. Locomotive came back with a try of the tea and coffee and served everyone.

While drinking Celestia used a very discrete type of spell that required very little magic to try and peak into this being's mind but was quickly stopped when she saw the mental walls that were put up. "You know it's considered rude to try and look into someone's head."

Tyson's POV

I chuckled a bit when the princess was completely flabbergasted at the fact I was able to pick up her spell without even trying really. "H-How did you-" "I may not know how to use magic but I have a pretty good understanding of it from my student to know how to defend myself from it," I said while sipping some of my drink. "There is more to you than meets the eye isn't there?" Luna asked. "And not being to see it is just pissing the both of you off isn't it?" No one dared to say a word for a while until Celestia chuckled. "Well played and for that you have my respect, but there are few matters that we to discuss. "Then ask away."

They asked questions about my first few days in their world and about the incident that happened in the library. "Twilight and her friends said that you came in and threatened to kill them if they did not return your belongings," Luna said. "Yes, that is correct." I'm being completely calm about the whole situation. "But you need to understand my reasons." "What reasons could there be for committing suck acts?" Luna asked, practically shouting at me. "Those books are very sentimental because there all I have left of my parents, but not just that. They hold very dangerous information from my world that isn't meant for this one. Such as weapons, diseases, medicine, and engineering for war machines," I could go on forever but they seemed to get the jest of what I'm trying to say.

"I understand the others being bad but how is medicine a bad thing, that could be beneficial to Equestria," Celestia said. "Yes it could, but what happens when someone manages to mass produce it and sell it so that only people with money can afford the treatment while others suffer and die. So in a way, I was protecting them," I shouted back the last part. When they couldn't think of anything to counter with, they sighed in defeat. "But what about your threat to kill them if they come near you?" Celestia asked. I shrugged at the question. "That's all it was, a treat, a scare tactic. As for hitting Dash, well that was me being overly angry at the fact that she broke into my house. I take full responsibility for my inexcusable action against one of your subjects, and I am truly sorry."

The two sisters leaned forward a looked me dead in the eyes, as if trying to see if I was in any way lying to them but were shocked when they saw that I was being truthful. "We can tell that you are sincere, but something must be done," Luna said. "What are you going to do to my teacher," Locomotive said after being quite for so long. "Do not worry young one, no harm will come to him. We only wish for him to apologize to those that he is wronged, after that he is free to go." Luna said. I looked at them skeptically and they picked up on it. "You don't trust us do you?" "Sorry but no, I don't. How do I know you're not leading me to a trap?" Celestia sighed, the kind you let out after a long day. "Look, we want you to trust us. So why don't we take this one step at a time, what is your real name?" Celestia was interesting; she had this natural motherly feel to her.

For some reason I felt like I could trust her even though we just met, so I was going to take a leap of faith and tell her, but just her. "Alright then, but Luna and Locomotive have to leave." Before Luna could protest her sister had already instructed he to do so as well as my student. "He doesn't know your name?" Celestia asked. "I never ask it, my teacher will tell me if when he is ready," Locomotive said before leaving. "Okay, what I'm about to say is me taking a risk in trusting you, so you have to promise me that you will never breathe a word of what you hear," I said. "You have my word, I will never tell another so long as I still draw breath," she said with a reassuring smile. "Alright then, my name is Tyson Abadear, I'm from earth and my kind is called human." She smiled warmly at me. "It is very nice to meet you Tyson."

"I know this may sound a bit sudden, but I want to ask a favor of you." She looked at me a bit curious. "I am going to apologize to your subjects but you have to wipe their memory of any information that they've learned of my world. I can't have any of it slipping out by mistake and causing your world any bloodshed." She nodded in agreement on that notion. "That seems fair enough. Shall we go then?" We both stood and headed for the library with the others following in suit. Coming back here filled me with an uneasy feeling and I was starting to have second thoughts on this idea but that soon faded when a large white wing was over my shoulder comforting my anxiety.

"You can do this Teacher, we'll be right next to you if anything goes wrong," Celestia said. Taking a deep breath I opened the door and spotted Twilight, Dash, AJ, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity who were talking to two other ponies. One was all white with a blue mane a tail, a horn on his head and a shield on his flank. The other was pink with a tri-colored mane and tail, had a horn and wings, and a crystal heart on her flank. Who they were, I had no idea. The girls froze in fear when they saw me come in and the stallion jumped into action and bucked me in the chest. I heard multiple cracks go off and I coughed up a pretty large amount of blood on the floor. "Awww, what the fuck is your problem you son of a bitch?"

I was on the floor clutching the spot where I was hit, if I'd known this would happen I would have just stayed home. "SHINING ARMOR, SEASE THIS AT ONCE," Luna yelled so loud that it shook the whole tree. "But your majesty, this is the creature that my sister told me about in the incident, and forgive me for this but it deserves worse than that," Shining Armor said. "We are aware of that and he has agreed to apologize for his actions but now you more than likely just ruined that chance now," Celestia said while lighting up her horn in a gold aura and put it on me, using her magic to heal the damage that was done. "No, it's okay. And he's right I do deserve worse than just that," I said once all the pain was gone.

Getting up I made my way to the girls and got on my hands and knees. "Girls, I'm sorry for what I did to all of you. I was only scaring you but that still isn't an excuse. I want to start over and try to be friends, but if you're still mad and can't forgive me I understand." I waited for them to say no and deck me in the face but I felt a hoof on my shoulder and saw that it was Twilights, who was giving me a small smile. "That's all we wanted from the start Teacher. What about you girls, can you give him another chance?" she asked them. "I guess I can, besides Shining Armor did kick his flank," Dash said. "I suppose I can. It takes a lot a pride to get on yer knees and ask for it," AJ said. "I can, it means we can be friends," Pinkie said with excitement and giving a pretty strong bear hug though I was bigger than her.

"Well, you can be rather polite when you want to be so I think I can look past what happened," Rarity said. Fluttershy didn't say anything only trying to hide behind her mane. 'I really messed up with this one; I'm going to have to earn her trust over time." I reached my hand out and pet her. "It's okay Fluttershy; I know I'm pretty scary but I hope in time you can accept me." She blushed madly as I kept petting her. "I-It's okay, I-I know your sorry so I accept it," she said barely above a whisper. There was a tap on my arm and it was from the pink winged unicorn. "I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you yet. I'm Princess Cadence, ruler of the Crystal Empire. It's nice to meet you Teacher, and sorry about my husband almost killing you just now." We shoot hands, or hooves, whatever and I told her it was alright.

"If I found out someone threated to kill Locomotive I would react the same way," I said and he nudged me playfully. "Back at you Teacher," he said and we all had a laugh, well except for Shining Armor. "I'd hate to interrupt, but Teacher it's time," Celestia said and I understood what she meant. "Time for what aunty?" Cadence asked. "My little ponies, gather round for I have something important that must be said." She explained what we talked about back at my house. "But if we learn this information then maybe we can you it to help better the rest of Equestria," Twilight said. "Yes but it is as my teacher has said, if that kind of information were to fall into the wrong hooves then it mean it could mean the death of everypony," Locomotive said. "That would rather tragic," Rarity said. "Wait, wait, wait. Why do their memories have to be wiped, why not wipe his memories of all the time he's been in Equestria and send him back to where he came from," Shining Armor said.

Is it just me, or does this guy not like me? "We do not possess that kind of power and we can't do that to his student, for they already have a bond between them just as my sister has with Twilight." Luna said. I'm starting to like Celestia and Luna more and by the second. Both fired up their magic and I could feel just how powerful it was. Soon, magic cords fired from their horns and latched onto the girls foreheads. White orbs were being pulled out and burst. Once it was finished I asked if they remembered anything they read and I was relieved to know that they didn't. After we settled everything the princesses walk me home and Coaldust came to pick up Locomotive, leaving us alone. "It has certainly been an interesting day, but it was still nice to meet you Sir Teacher and I hope to see more of you in the future. I'll be in the carriage when you are finished sister." Luna trotted away and we both talked.

"Again, I'm sorry about what happened. I let my anger blind my judgment and I almost did something I'd regret," I said, scratching the back of my head. Celestia chuckled a bit and nuzzled me. She then fired up her and two things happened, one; a magic cord connected to my forehead and I felt a warm presences all over, two; something materialized in my hand. It was a purple candle stick. "What did you do?" "I set up a telepathic link that will activate when we are speak through our thoughts, and the candle stick is enchanted to that it will never run and we will be able to send letters to each other. Just burn the letter in its fire and we'll receive it. Think of it as another step in our level of trust Tyson.' "Wow, big step. You could at least buy me dinner first Celly," I cracked and she blushed. "C-Celly?" she asked, "Yeah, it's your nickname that I thought of for you since you're taking another step, do you like it?" She gave me another nuzzle and giggled. "I love it. 'Thank you Tyson,' hope to hear from you soon.

I looked at the candle in my hand and smiled, 'maybe this won't be so bad.' Four months passed since I met those two princesses and made amends with the mane six and I gotta say it's been fun hanging out with them. I even talked to Celly through our mental link and managed to gain some information on Equestrian History so that I was able to teach Locomotive. "Is it okay that she's just giving you this information?" "Well it's not like I'm abusing the information, I'm just using it to teach is all," I said. One day while in the middle of a session the green fire on my candle shot out some smoke and it formed a letter. "What does it say Teacher?" I opened it and read aloud.

Dear. Teacher

We formally invite you to Canterlot Castle on an

Important errand that we find that only you and

You're student Locomotive can complete. Inside the

Letter is two train tickets. This of course is optional and

If you chose to not to come completely understand

But if you do come then bring some clothing as we

Would require that you stay a few nights in the castle

Sincerely, your dear friends

Celly and Lulu

"C-Canterlot? Their serious about this aren't they, I mean why else would they send the letter." Locomotive was ecstatic about the whole thing then looked at me with curiosity. "Are we going, please say that we're going?" The way he asked was slightly pleading, like he really wanted to go, but then again so did I. I've heard of the high class city a few times but never once stepped foot in it. This would be the perfect opportunity to go, but there was the problem of my student. I couldn't just take him with me without him brother's consent so I agreed that I would take him if Coaldust said yes. We went to his home since Coaldust had the day off and we talked about it.

"Canterlot. You want to take my little brother into Canterlot on some important request from the princesses that you don't even know what their asking of you?" "Look I know how it sounds but this could be a new learning experience for him. We'll be staying at the castle and we'll finish as fast as we can and be back before you know it. Have I ever let you down before?" Coaldust thought this through for a few minutes before looking at Locomotive. "Do you really want to go?" His brother nodded frantically. "Then go pack your saddlebags." My student took off like hell on wheels to him room and Coaldust went to his and came back with a sheathed knife that was very ornate. "This was my mothers when she was part of the royal guard, take it with you just in case of anything, but I pray that you won't need to use it. Take it, protect my little brother incase anything happens," he said I promised that I would. When Locomotive came back we left to the train station and got on board in no time. "This is so awesome; we're finally going to see the royal city," Locomotive said, barely controlling himself in his seat.

All I could do was laugh a bit. "Well it's going to be a long ride so we better get some sleep while we can." Getting more comfortable I fell asleep and dreamed, but it was strange. They've been happening ever since Celly made the bond between us. I saw a man who looked like me but wasn't me. His hair was black and his eyes were emerald green but looked as if they held countless centuries of wisdom and knowledge. He also seemed to radiate so kind of power, it wasn't magic but something of equal power. "Teacher, wake up we're here." He kept shaking me until I got up and looked out the window and saw the gleaming city. It was certainly different from Ponyville, a lot of full scale buildings and high class ponies dressed in fancy clothes. Though what struck me as strange was that most of the ponies here were either unicorns or eathponies, not many Pegasie in this place.

Canterlot was nice but nasty glances I got from the nobles kind of pissed me off but when I flashed the knife that was clipped to my left they turned their heads and kept walking. When we reached the gates of the castle the guards stopped us. "We're here on request of the princesses," I said but they still wouldn't let us in. "By orders of Captain Shining Armor, no unauthorized personal is allowed in the castle without proof of invitation." "Are you dense or something? We just we're here on request of the princesses," Locomotive said. "No proof, no entry." I got pissed and wanted to punch these assholes put that wouldn't do us any good, so I contacted Celly. 'Celly we're having a bit of a problem out here at the gate.' 'What kind of problem Teacher?' I heard her thoughts almost immediately. 'Your guards won't let us in because of Shining Armor's orders stupid orders'

There was a sudden flash and there were the royal sisters appeared and told off the guards. After that little ordeal we followed them to Celestia's room where we were attacked by a bear hug from the both of them. "It is wonderful to have you both here, we were worried that you would not come," Luna said. "Like we would miss the chance to see Canterlot, though some of the ponies can be rude," Locomotive said. "Sorry about that, some of the nobles tend to look down upon those who aren't born into high class." "It's alright Lulu, not your fault so did you need us for any way?" I asked. Celestia went through a trunk near a massive bed a pulled out a black notebook with a bunch of stars on the cover. "This belonged to my first student Starswirl the Bearded, the most famed unicorn of his time and created countless spells that are still famed to this day," Celestia said. "What does this have to do with us?" I asked.

"Remember that day when we sat in on one of your sessions?" How could I not, when they saw the amount of knowledge and information I was able to teach my student their jaws dropped at the fact that a fourteen year old knew university level information. "Yes I remember," I said, laughing inwardly. They opened the notebook ripped out a page. "Starswirl was a brilliant mind but he was getting on in years and wanted to find a way to continue his work, so he sought to find what all great minds have strived to find," Luna said. "What's that?" asked my student. "Immortality." An eerie silence filled the room and for some reason, the image of that alternate version of me flashed in my thoughts. Almost like a message to myself. "We believe that with knowledge you two possess you'll be able to fix Starswil's broken formula and discover the secrets of immortality and go down in history for it," Celestia said.

This was certainly an honor to be entrusted with this. "Do you two accept this task we are asking of you?" "HELL YEAH!" we both said and they both laughed. "Excellent, come we have a work space for you to work in." Workspace would be an understatement, this was a fucking laboratory filled with high end equipment. "Sweet Mary, mother of god, Jackpot," I said, gaining a few laughs. We began getting to work immediately going into long hours of the night for a few days until the Princesses ordered us to get to bed and continue in the morning. We re-wrote the formula countless times and ran into many errors until we found one that seemed to work the best but still found some complications in the sequences. You see, the formula required some blood for it to work and we both used enough that Celly found us passed out in the lab. When we came to she was furious and worried to the point where she broke down in tears, thinking that we were both dead.

I felt like an asshole and promised that we wouldn't go overboard next time. After two days in recovery we continued to ponder the formula without experimenting with it, until Locomotive came with an idea. "If it requires blood then maybe it needs blood from a more powerful being instead of a lesser one." "Where exactly are we supposed to find that kind of source from?" I asked. "Well, the princesses are Alicorns, which are thought of as gods of Equestria." The solution rang in my head so much it actually started to hurt a little. Grabbing two syringes and a vile I informed Celly to meet me in her room with Lulu. "Is there any new developments Teacher?" Luna asked. "We think so; you see we understand that blood is required." They both shivered, do doubt remembering what happened but nodded. "No doubt Starswirl used his own blood for it but is where his greatest flaw resides. His was very common, not strong enough, so my student informed of Alicorns and how their considered to be gods and very powerful. Do you see where I'm going with this?"

"You wish to take some of ours for the formula," Luna said. I pulled out the two syringes and they understood. "But what happens if this doesn't work," Luna asked as I started. "Then at least we can say we tried." Once done I went to the lab and we start the process, with hopes that it will work. "One last chance Teacher, are you ready?" Locomotive asked. "Yeah, let's make history. Okay, this probably won't explode." "Wait, what?" I poured the blood into the potion and it did indeed explode but it wasn't that bad, aside from a hole in the roof. But I saw the potion start to glow gold. "I think it worked, let's go tell the others." We to the throne room and found them in the middle of a meeting but they called for a break when they saw us carrying a vile with the glowing potion. "We did it. It took us a week and four days to get it right but we did it. So what do we do with it?" I asked. They grabbed it with their auras and placed it in my hand. "Drink it."

I looked at them confused. "You've done something that most ponies could only dream of, and you've proved that with your knowledge you can better Equestria's future and be more renowned then Starswirl," Celestia said. I could better Equestria by living forever, be more than just a teacher and help countless ponies. I felt a nudge on my side and it came from my student. "Well, drink already. We didn't do all of this for nothing did we?" he said with a smile. Opening it I down the potion in one go and waited. Soon a golden light shined in my chest for a moment but I didn't feel any different. "Teacher, you're eyes," Locomotive said. "What's wrong with my eyes?" Celly floated a mirror over to and what I saw started me, my brown irises changed into a kaleidoscope color. "The Eyes of an Immortal, a gift given to only our kind Teacher, they allow us to see what others are feelings. What do see when you look at us?" Celestia said. I couldn't quite describe it but when I looked at them is saw what they felt, and it was pride, pride for us.

"This is amazing, thank you. I'm truly honored." What happened after that, well it was a bit unexpected. We were ready to head back to Ponyville but while were packing, with help of the princesses, a window shattered and the one standing there was an earthpony in a clock and gripping a dagger in his mouth. Before we had time to react they charged for the princesses ready to strike. But before that could happen, I drew the dagger Coaldust loaned me and stopped them and pushed them back. Flipping the blade in reverse, I took a stance and waited for them to attack and when they did I disarmed them in one swift move, grabbed their knife, and tackled them to the ground with both knives at their throat. "Why are you doing this?" I said. "Because it their fault. My brother and I were once part of the royal guard and were stationed in Griffon territory. We were ambushed and we called for reinforcements but they didn't send they and countless died including my brother and I'm honoring him by taking revenge," said the stallion.

I stood and turned my back to him. "You're a stupid fool for doing this," I said. "What are you taking about?" "You say you're honoring your brother by killing the ones you swore to protect, if you ask me you're disrespecting his memory. I'm going to give you a choice here. You can leave and honor him by living your life for the both you, or you can continue what you came here to do but I can't help what I'll to if to hurt the ones I care about." There was nothing but silence in the room but I kept my guard up just in case. Hooves sounded off but they headed in the other direction, the window. "Thank you," was what I heard before they left. "Is everyone alright?" They nodded and I was relieved to know no one was hurt. Celestia had asked if we could stay in the castle one more night for safety reasons and we agreed to. That night after I showered there was a knock at my door and I was surprised to see Celly and Lulu. "Is everything okay?" They shifted on their uncomfortably "Would it be alright if we slept in here with you Teacher?" Luna asked. Thank to my eyes I was able to see that they were frightened of something. "You two still shook up about what happened today aren't you?" They nodded a bit so I said yes and we all got in bed, their wings covering me with warmth and they nuzzled my chest. "Goodnight girls," I said. "Goodnight Teacher." Sleep came and thankfully no weird dreams. 'Maybe being immortal won't be so bad.'

Please review if not that's cool too
