A gilded cage

Celestial looks at you with a thoughtful look on her face before opening a jewelry box and pulled out a beautiful gold amulet on a long chain. A flash of magic turns the amulet into a golden cage. Celestia examines her work and nods.

"Yes this should do nicely, I'll keep you in here for the day."

You balked. Did she really intend to put you into a tiny cage for the entire day? "It's roomier than it looks," Celesta promised, "This will ensure that you will remain safe by preventing me from accidentally crushing you or getting lost. If I were to let you wander around freely you could end up being mistaken for a bug and swatted by a maid or crushed underfoot. Moreover, I feel that I must inform you that most of the nobles I surround myself with are female and though I do trust some of them absolutely the risk that one of them would snatch you up and commit certain... unsavory acts is too great. Trust me, it's far better this way."

You were about to reply with a sharp rebuttal before the deep ache in your muscles reminded you of the ordeal you'd just undergone, and you suddenly realized she was right.

You were merely as small as a bug to them, very squishy and easily forgotten. Staying in the care of a pony like Celestia was probably your best option for now, especially since she's one of royal blood.

You nodded tiredly and let her lift you into the device without any further argument.

Option 1: Celestia puts on the necklace and hides you between her breast.

Option 2: Before Celestia can put on the necklace, it is swiped from her grasp by a bird with red and orange plumage.

Option 3: Celestia keeps you throughout the day and receives a surprise visit from Queen Novo, queen of the hippogriffs
