“Log 3. It's been about a month since I was summoned. Me and Luna are friends and we have been working on my mage skill and I learned how to make a flashlight just using my catalyst and mana feed where I feed mana into enchanted items. Like weapons and tools. Both the light spell and mana feed are just mirrored versions of themselves. I still talk to Vera and visit her sister’s flower shop. Last week the toaster we had was shipped out of Canterlot to be reverse engineered and once it gets reverse engineered, the technology will be implemented on to these massive towers and shipped to the Crystal empire and I'll be in charge of overseeing the operation. As for Vera she’s going all right. Sometimes I go and help clean the castle along with other maids.
Earlier I learned that for every male pony, there's one and one fifth females. So that's interesting. As for Luna, she's all right. She's still Luna going into dreams and right now she’s lying on my bed. As for Celestia she's still a cake eating, sunlight manipulating princess and 3 days ago was the summer soles celebration. It was cool to see the lensing of the sun. As for Blueblood, he's still an asshole. But his reputation is going down because of his constant saying of this other world I’m from. Well as for me, I’m still getting better at walking and still using my catalyst for hands. And thanks to my sleep schedule I'm able to wake up early in the day and light at night. And this week we got a bean bag from the McGuffin table. Sam out.”
I turn off the recorder and put it in the box. Then Luna said from the bed. “Ready for tutoring?” “Ya lets go.” I told her then we left the room. As we walked through the castle, everything was still normal. Guards were doing what they're supposed to, maids cleaned like a normal day. When we made it to the library, Luna got some books and sat at the table. There was a book about Equestrian history. The book was separated in two parts: Pre-banishment and post banishment. Me and Luna read the books together.
-200 is the year the pre-Celestial book starts. This was the year when Equestria was separated by multiple kingdoms who were often at war with each other. But overall just normal medieval stuff going on.
-150 nothing much changed but there was a famous wizard that revolutionized magic called Star Swirl.
-120 is when Celestia was born and -118 is when Luna was born. Oddly enough, Luna and Celestia weren't born alicorns but when I asked Luna how they became alicorns, she just gave a shrug. Well if you're older than the calendar, your childhood would be fuzzy.
-90 is when the sisters came to power and became the rulers of most of Equestria and Equestria at the time was more like the holy Roman empire but united.
-76 is when Luna and Celestia took over the Crystal empire. But the capital of the empire ended up disappearing on them.
-40 the two churches started to hate each other but when that started to happen, Celestia outlawed organized religion altogether to prevent a civil war,
-35 this chaos god called Discord was turned to stone with a super weapon called the Elements of Harmony which is kinda cool.
-20 Luna turned to Nightmare Moon and started the civil war that lasted 20 years.
0 the war ended and the Nightmare was put in stone. But now Celestia was all alone to rule.
When we reached the part where the Civil War ends, Luna and I decided to stop for now. We put a bookmark in it and put it up. Then Luna pulled out the 101 magic book. We're on unit 4 and I get to learn basic enchanting. The process of enchanting is quite simple using ink mixed with crystals crushed up to a powder and carefully printed on whatever you put it on. In order to activate the enchantment, Manafeed must be used. Then the unit goes over the kinds of enchantments and what they are used for. Like hardening is effectively making your tools stronger and heating where it heats up but it caps out around 300 degrees Celsius. Once we were done with the first chapter of unit 4, Luna got up and started to leave.
“Where are you going?” I asked Luna.
“We'll get some supplies for an activity.” Luna told me.
“Oh… are we going to enchant something?”
“Yes and we'll start doing these activities once every month.”
“Well see you when you get back, Luna.”
She left the library and I stayed. Then after 10 ish minutes she came back with a silver sword, a bag filled with crushed crystals, a bottle of ink, and a brush. She set the stuff on the table. She put the powder in the ink then told me. “Thou need to mix it first.” I used a small stick to mix the ink and powder together, then Luna pulled out a paint brush and handed it to me. I put the brush in the ink then started to paint the blade. While I painted Luna guided the brush so I wouldn’t slip up. We painted along the blade making a hardening enchantment. After a while Luna let go of the brush letting me go as I pleased. After like an hour of carefully enchanting the blade, we were done.
“Ok we're done.” Luna told me.
“Oh cool, time to feed the sword?” I asked.
“Yes thou can”
I started to feed the sword mana. When I fed it, it glowed this whitish black. Not gray but something else but I continued to feed it until the enchantment was one with the sword. When I got done with the enchanting, the sword looked very different from where we began. Long black lines went along the blade and a ring at the base, telling where it began and ended. This was a hardening enchantment.
“So this is what your military has.” I told Luna.
“Yes. So what thou see of it?” she asked.
“It's pretty badass. Do you guys use a heating enchantment in your steam engines as well?”
“Yes, Equestria uses all kinds of enchanting in many different fields.”
“So your power plants just need a few unicorns and water to run?”
“Ya thee are correct.”
Then I had an idea. “What if I drew designs of our human tech for Equestria?” I told Luna.
“Do thee know what is needed?”
“Yes! Yes! I was going to get my masters degree in engineering!” I said in excitement.
“We suppose it would benefit Equestria.”
Then I ran out of the library and headed straight to my room, grabbed my book that Twilight gave to me and started to draw. I could've drawn a tank or a nuclear reactor or a fucking computer but those would be no use. So I decided to draw a diesel engine. It samples a steel casing with wires to spark the explosion then a piston to pull in the explosive gas and out the exhaust. The explosion pushes the piston making momentum.
Meanwhile in the maids quarters in the castle.

Vera was getting dressed for work today. Today will be a normalish day. Places that needed to be cleaned will report to her manager. Anything that needs repaired will report to their manager and then clock out at 3 in the afternoon. After work she will hang out with Sam the pony that is not a pony, then finally head home and hang with her sister.
While she put her work clothes on from the locker she talked to one of her fellow maids. “Simmininrule, have you thought about the upcoming grand galloping gala this month?”
“Ugh, same as every year a mess we clean up for the nobles of Equestria.” Simminin said to Vera.
“Ya what about the ponies that need the bits like the poor or improving the working classes?” a pale colored unicorn colt said while passing by.
“Well the only reason why the grand galloping gala is a thing, is to keep the nobles happy.” Vera said.
“Ya but the nobles get to go to all kinds of fancy parties, and this is the only public one.” Simmininrule said.
Then all the maids in the room gathered around a cup with names inside. Every colt and mare was waiting for the draw. The pale colt picks up the cup with his horn. “And the loser is…” the colt said, pulling a paper out of the cup. “Silver Drop.” Then every pony cheered except the gray colt named Silver Drop. He was upset because he has to clean the bathrooms this week.
Every pony left the maids quarters to the back of the castle where the garden is at. One end of the concrete walkway had all the guards while the other side had all the maids. As Vera stood still in line facing the guards, two ponies walked past them; Vera’s manager Lya and the captain of the royal guard Vix. They both inspected their corresponding lines. Lya inspected the maids and Vix inspected the guards. After that they all got to work. Vera was assigned to clean the windows today but luckily she wasn't alone cleaning, but sadly maids don't just have to clean the castle but the noble buildings surrounding the castle including BlueBloods mansion. As Vera cleaned the windows, she saw a crack on the top window. She pulled out her pad and her penfrom her outfit to note down the crack then continued cleaning.
After a while of cleaning, she saw me. As I drew the diesel engine I heard spraying and wiping from my window. I waved at her and she waved back then we continued our business. After a while, Vera landed on the roof of the castle and took a break. “It is halfway through the day, hopefully nothing crazy happens.” she said to herself. Then after ten or so minutes she went back to work.
In Sam's bedroom.
“Ah ha! Finally the diagnosis is complete and soon Equestria will be ahead of the game.” I said to myself. Then I got out of my room to show Luna and/or Celestia the power of this. After a while of wondering, I encountered Celestia walking down the halls.
“Hey Sam, how’s your time with Luna?” she asked.
“Good, I learned how to do enchanting but that’s not important right now!” I said in excitement.
“Really what is important in the meantime?”
“Ok I drew a diesel engine!”
“Die-sel engine?”
“Ya it’s a machine that runs on explosions!”
“Would that break the machine?”
“No look at the design!” I held up my book and showed her the drawing. She looked at it for a few moments then her eyes widened.
“We can make this now.” she said.
“Really, do you guys have a battery of any kind?” I asked.
“Ya just go make a copy and I’ll send it to our engineers.”
“Hey sister, have thou seen Sam?” said Luna as she came by.
“Luna, look at this.” Celestia said to Luna.
“Sam, is this one of the machines thou are bringing to Equestria?” she asked me.
“Yes!” I told her.
“Ok, instead of this ‘gas’ we will get alchemy fire then it will probably work.” Celestia told me.
“Ok God-Empresses I'll get to work!” I told them.
Then I ran back to my room and went to the last page of my book. I tore it out and started copying the drawing. While I was copying the diesel engine, Luna came into the room and decided to start talking to me.
“So Sam what other things are thee going to draw?” Luna asked.
“Well right now I'm just going for the diesel engine but if you like I can make other things.” I told her.
“Like what?”
“Let's see. A basic rifle, a vacuum tube, a…”
I continued the long list of things I could make from memory if I had resources to make them and the skill. I would revolutionize this world a few times over. But it would be a massive spike in technological progress and some kingdoms outside of Equestria will notice this massive jump in technology and probably try to find the secrets to this or call it bluff. One way or the other, this world will have a tech jump.
In Blue Blood’s mansion.
Vera was cleaning the windows as well as some of the other maids. She wiped the windows but as she cleaned she asked the other maids.
“Where is Blue Blood? He’s usually looking at our flanks most of the time.” she asked.
“I don’t know, but I’ve heard that he's been trying to put Sam in his place. It’s quite funny that every time he tries to do it, it just backfires.” The blue unicorn mare said.
“It’s one thing to check out some ponies cutie marks but it is another to stare.” The red colt unicorn said, while wiping the wall.
“Ya but what do you think about Sam?” Vera asked.
“He's an all right colt;, how ever I think he’s a little rude sometimes but considering he’s from another world I can see why he is like that.” The mare said.
“He’s a good pony or whatever his equivalent kind is. But he sometimes can be uncanny, like he looks like a normal pony but when he smiles some of his teeth look a bit deformed and when he walks sometimes it looks more artificial than anything else.”, the colt said
“Ya that's a problem but still better than Blue Blood.” Vera told every pony in the room.
Upstairs Blue Blood was putting his ear on the floor listening to the conversation. “Shit they’re considering Sam is better than ME!” Blue Blood said to himself. He was stressed on the fact that his reputation is falling apart and that Sam is still not considered a monster. He passed around the room thinking of other ways to put a stop to this monster. But when he looked out the window he saw guards and that gave him an idea. An idea that may lead to his demise or would make him the most powerful pony in Equestria, but it would take weeks for preparation to pull it off.
While Vera finished the windows she saw the clock in the room. It was 2:49. She felt excited to get off of work and she was ready to clock out. Once her shift was over she went back to the maids quarters, clocked out, and then went to see Sam.
As me and Luna walked down the halls, Vera came along to see me.
“Hey Sam how's your-” Vera said to me but she stopped when she saw Luna.
“Um Vera, what's wrong?” I asked.
“Oh I'm sorry your majesty, I see he's currently occupied with you.” Vera apologized to Luna.
“Oh nonsense thou is free to talk to him.” Luna said to Vera.
“What I'm lost?” I asked both of them.
Then it became a very confusing situation but after a while they both explained what happened. Vera wanted to talk to me but Luna was there. After that, me, Vera and Luna decided to talk to each other. We decided to go outside in the sun.
“Ok after all of that, how was your day Vera?” I asked Vera.
“Oh normal. I cleaned the place and the surrounding buildings today. I was the windows mare and I didn’t see Blue Blood. So a pretty good day. So how about your days?” Vera asked me and Luna.
“Well today was a good day. I enchanted my first sword today.” I told her.
Then Luna spoke. “After that he drawed inventions from his world so we can have them for Equestria.”
“Wow, that's cool. What did he draw?” Vera asked.
“An engine that runs off of explosions.”
“Would the engine explode?”
“No it is controlled by this… this Sam can you bring the drawing.” Luna asked me.
“Ok.” I told her then I left to get my book to show vera. After a while I got to my bedroom and got my book then headed back. When I got back I saw Luna socializing with Vera. I smiled at the fact that Luna and Vera were becoming friends. Then when I got to them, they were talking about their hobbies. Vera liked reading and Luna liked to read too. So they were talking about what books they liked. Luna liked the old books from her time while Vera liked the modern fictions. Overall they were having a good time. When they noticed me, Luna grabbed my book and showed Vera the engine I'd drawn.
“Hey Sam, this is really cool how it works.” Vera told me then I told her “well thank you.” Then they continued their conversation as I went to put up my book. When I got back to them, they were now talking about this thing called ‘The Grand Galloping Gala.’ of courseI asked about it. The Galloping Gala is effectively a massive fancy party for nobles to enjoy and it's coming up this month. Afterthat Vera Left to go home and it was just me and Luna for the rest of the day.
At dinner in the dining room while we ate our food. I asked Celestia.
“Hey Celestia, what's with the Grand Galloping Gala?”
“Oh that. That's a party that all the nobles in Equestria go to once every year.” Celestia said.
“Oh no I already know that part but how did it come to be?”
“Oh well, around 500-800 years ago my nephew, Lord Vacka, I don't recall the name properly but he decided to throw a party with some of his friends and it sort of became a thing later on.”
“Ya when we were in stone our sister partied like an animal. Like oh wow I got to rule Equestria all by myself. I'm a big mare now.” Luna said, giving Celestia crap.
“And I enjoyed it, little Luna.” Celestia told Luna.
“No we're only little because the stone stunted my growth.”
“Oh it’s ON!” Celestia said as she picked up some mashed potatoes.
“Not if the princess of the night can do something about-” Luna said before having a face full of Potato.
As the second Equestrian civil war was going on in the dining room, I ate my food watching the countless potato lives lost in this meaningless conflict. After I ate my food I walked into the kitchen to get seconds on mashed potatoes. There were other things like corn and carrots but I felt like potatoes. After the war ended, Me, Luna and Celestia cleaned the place up. I put up the leftovers for later and made sure to clean up the table. I wonder, should I stay?
