Greetings to everypony. My name is Princess Celestia, and here I have assumed the role of the god Inti.

This is not too far away from my role in Equestria, and yet this world's sun seems to require no intervention -- magical, divine, or otherwise -- to keep it moving neatly through the sky. I am also told that the moon keeps its own schedule irrespective of the night. All things considered, I have to conclude that things work very differently here.

Nonetheless, I am particularly interested in meeting other gods whose domain includes the sun. I would like to invite you all to my temple, so we can greet each other and learn more about our gods and our purposes of here. (Of course, anypony else is welcome to come as well. I have so much to learn here!)

Lastly, please allow me to conclude with a compliment to these amazing communication devices -- but perhaps we could find a way to make them more accessible? I am fortunate to have my magic, but if an earth pony or pegasus were to come here, they might have a terrible time with working these things.

'Anypony' is an inclusive term -- it can be extended to donkeys, griffons, zebras, even dragons if they wish it to be. And in this case I extend it to humans as well.

Pegasi are winged ponies.

[ Sorry, Celestia. He's a simple guy in that his mind doesn't travel very far on how things could be. In other words, he lacks a wonderful imagination. It's about as great as his texting. ]

oh uh... k. griffons?

i guess you- they- can always use voice chat

That is true, but doesn't it seem a little unfair? Imagine if you were in Equestria and could not pick up something on a high shelf because only unicorns had the magic to reach it.

ah

...

sorry, i can't imagine it. too much of that is beyond what i'm familiar with

I understand. I would never have been able to imagine everything I have seen here, before I came here.

yeah

i'm still figuring out what i know and can imagine with this whole shinki thing. i guess all the stuff you said isnt really a part of it.

I would be very surprised if it was. I can certainly say that we had no humans in Equestria, and I have never met your kind before, so if you had any contact with ponykind before it was not there.

seems so

sorry i cant be any help. the person i'm shinki to isn't a part of the sun thing either. i think she said it was summer and stuff like that.

Oh my goodness, the seasons have their own gods here as well? That's truly remarkable! What about the weather? Plants and animals? Dragons?

i........

uh. i really dont know. there could be a god for anything i guess? its still rlly new to me

Thus far it sounds like gods are responsible for things ponykind normally should be responsible for, but there are so many gods here I cannot imagine all of them are just seasons and weather and tending the land.

no clue. i think there are gods of love or something else. something for kids?

And my niece is the Princess of Love. I am starting to wonder a great deal about all of this...

aybe they decided to just get someone who knew what they were doing to fill in for the person that disappeared

Perhaps, but -- and I mean no offense by this, I am still learning of humans -- I do not know if you understand 'special talents' in quite the way we ponies do.

In fact, I am not even certain you have cutie marks. I think you must not, because otherwise why would you all, universally, keep them covered?
