Love transcends the wall.

I have used my new spells to make an incision into the wall.

Although i have only attempted just the one journey.

the rip is extremely unstable, and I lost my most faithful student to its unforgiving maw.

I really must be cautious.

Cheerilee gasped even louder than she just had; what a sight. a jet black pony was lying in a crumpled heap just outside her house, surrounded by a large variety of scorch marks. the black pony made a small moan of pain, and this made Cheerilee jump. she had been a teacher for such a long time, she knew what the worst injuries sounded like. if a child had grazed their hoof or bumped their head they would make allot of noise. but... in the two most serious cases she had ever dealt with the ponies did not scream. they did not cry. they merely made the smallest noise, a small moan of pain.

all this flashed through Cheerilee's mind almost instantly, and being cool headed as she was, she immediately began formulating the best way to get this poor thing inside without damaging her any further. first she went and collected some brooms and pulled off the heads, then she tied a sheet to each corner in order to create a makeshift litter. it wasn't perfect but it would have to do for now. she gently nudged the litter under the black ponies broken body, and pulled her inside. there was no way she could get the litter up the stairs so she set it down on the rug in her front room, and started up the fireplace, piling wood on till it was at a nice steady blaze. she then poured herself the coffee  and sat down worriedly. maybe this day wouldn't be quite so boring after all, although looking at the broken thing she somehow wished it was.

cheerilee was expecting a delivery from a mailpony at any time this morning, although she suspected that it was the odd pony who seemed to crash into things allot. she sighed for the second time that morning and decided to carry on marking the tests from school, she walked out to the kitchen grabbed a stack in her mouth, and sat down to begin the long arduous process. maybe this was going to be a boring day after all, she hoped that when the mailpony got to her house that she could carry a message to the hospital, and also she would have to go to see twilight later on in the day. she was probably the first source of information for strange occurances like this one, and if not then princess celestia. hopefully she could get some answers from this mare when she woke up...

Ethera opened her eye's slightly, she had had the most awful dream. she had been falling, over and over again. she had rather damaged this body, but knew from experience that it was nigh on indestructible, she tried stand and once again crumpled to the floor in a heap. she would have to wait awhile longer before she could get up and walk around, however there was a mirror standing upright on the floor just across from her, she cursed silently. it seems her body had settled on jet black fur, with an oddly styled purple mane and a horn, it wouldn't be so easy to get around unnoticed here. "why is this body still broken." she muttered to herself angrily. suddenly a sharp pang of pain struck her head, a voice whispered in her ear.

Permanence.

she had the oddest sensation, like someone had punctured a hole in the side of her head, and all of the memories were flooding out. she cried out rather loudly, "No! STA....."

silence.
