Similar to the first option but in the past.
"Hmm, how about this, I'll let you continue to do what you wanted to do a be reborn as an 'Equestrian', not that it'll be permanent since your kind tends to be shapeshifters anyway. With that said, I want you to go "native" sort of speak; once you are in breeding age, start having a herd and propagate that magic of yours onto the new generations.

"That... seems too easy, but what if I refuse."

"If you refuse, then you'll be barred from entering into not just this Equestria, but any Equestria in this Cluster." She says in a matter-of-fact kind of tone, while she conjured a tablet and started to watch something in it, by the sounds and screams coming from it, it seemed to be war or apocalypse going on.

"Alright... ehh, what are you watching?"

"An Alien Invasion in Equestria, some War of the World kind of stuff."

"I'm going to assume is an... actual world?"

"Correct, what? You wanna go in?" She ask, a bit interested and surprised. "It is one of those worlds where we prune after most of our mortals end up dead, those timelines and alternate worlds are generally and literally doomed."

"No, it just... aren't you going to do anything?" She snorts.

"We gods have a no-intervention policy." She responds as she put down the tablet. "After Discord and the Sisters, we believe further intervention was largely unnecessary and separated our realms from Tartarus and Elysium and thus the wider Equestria, however, our mistake was that we didn't had a strong priesthood or established religion back then and when our realm got separated from Equestria proper, our subjects gradually forgot about us or barely mention us in their prayers, we lost our influence with the mortals. Now they favor the Sisters, Harmony, and the Stars, as if they are actually worthy of worship." She huffed. "As for doomed worlds; well, they're doomed. This is where we turn a blind eye as there is nothing else we can do for them for we no longer hold influence on them either except when pruning. It is... no, it was painful seeing those apocalypses at the start and doing nothing to prevent them, but after a couple of millennia and seeing countless ones, you get used to it." She sighed "At least, they have a safe passage to Elysium.. or Tartarus, depending on the world." She muttered something about Mirror Universes or something along those lines.

"Anyway! Those are the condition; go down there, be reborn, and breed some mares and then you can leave. You'll have your body back, and add your brand to Equestrian's gene pool, thus fulfilling your duty to save your kind and everyone is happy, decline, and you'll be persona no grata to the Equestria multiverse until you agree with those terms."

Well, that was straightforward, and after giving her words some consideration you...
