“Ow”!

“I won’t ask again you, you, whatever you are”, said the purple unicorn.

I rubbed my arm to try to ease the pain from the blast. It felt like I was rubbing my feet on carpet and I put my arm on a metal pole.

“My name is Artanis, and I am a human. And who in God’s name are you?”!

All three mares looked shocked and they backed away. I tried to move my arm to my left, but found it difficult to do so. “Oi, why can’t I move”? I asked. “That zap I gave you was an immobilization spell, so you won’t be able to move for a while.” the purple unicorn hissed. “And I am Twilight Sparkle. These are my friends, Applejack and Fluttershy." Both ponies waved at me. I was dumbfounded. How was it possible that the characters I’ve seen on T.V. were actually real? I shook my head and closed my eyes for a moment to make sure I was seeing everything right.

This can’t be true. “Wait, I know who you are. But if this is true, then I must be…" I trailed off, coming to a conclusion that made no sense to me. If I’m here and these ponies are in front of me, that could only mean one thing. " You’re in Ponyville sugahcube. The best place in all of Equestria" Applejack said with obvious pride in her tone. I groaned. "How did this happen? One minute I was in my own bed, and the next I was in a field." Twilight looked up and cocked her head to the side, as if trying to piece everything together. " It is odd that you are here. But I cast that spell a week ago.”

“What spell? I asked, voice shaking.

“Well, the princess sent me a spell to try out. She said if done right, the spell would summon something from a different dimention." I started to shake more as everything clicked into place. That tingling I felt, it was Twilight’s spell. But, how? "But, why did you summon me? Why am I here?”

“Maybe it was a fluke. I really didn’t concentrate on what I was summoning”

“There has to be a reason for it" I said, beginning to feel strength return to my arms.

“I think this is a matter best left to the princess." Twilight explained."We are actually going to see her in a couple of days. In the meantime, we need to find a place where we can house you." Twiligth shot a glance at the other two mares. Applejack shook her head. Fluttershy looked flustered but agreed to let me stay with her.
