Chapter II - Her Turn First

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

     The day has arrived, we will be facing Zecora's magic with our amazing Dimensional Traveler! We all know what you've been thinking this whole time: "What does it do?" Well, by the push of a button, it will take us to any dimension possible. It is well known for taking us ponies into what is called the "human" world. Now, we have programmed it to take us to any dimension at all. It has been tested once, but with a butterfly. It was sent to the art world, and has been on the internet ever since.

     Zecora pulls out her potions and begins brew something that smells like old, moldy lizard guts. Flam pulls out a long, cylinder-shaped pole. Zecora stopped in her tracks, apparently she knew what it was.

“You dare to challenge with this thing

without know what it may bring?

You know not what this can do,

but when you get lost, I can’t help you..”

We already knew she sang in rhyme, but in person it just sounded like a hypnotizing riddle.

     We start up the device immediately. The pole suddenly transforms into a portal. Zecora does not look amused. She throws in a few more pink liquids to her cauldron. As the bubbles simmer down, she tells us what next.

“I go first, and then you.

We try the magic

and find the better who.

We all must test the magic first,

but I warn you, bad doings will activate a curse.”

That was intense. Zecora pulls out three flasks and pours the now-orange liquid into them. Zecora picks one up, and we float the other two towards us with our magic.

“Drink up, my friends, and you will see

exactly what you deserve to be.”

     We pull the floating glasses closer towards our mouths, but Zecora already drank hers. She seems perfectly fine, but now it’s our turn. Flam looks at me nervously, but the banana smoothie-flavored potion is already in my mouth. It tasted like the best drink I’ve ever had! Something in my mind went off, and I just had to have more! I ran over to the full pot, and started drinking right out of it. I tried to stop myself, but I couldn’t, it was out of my control. The pot was almost empty, and Flam hadn’t even sipped his glass yet. He sat on the other side of the room, staring at me with it floating in front of him.

Zecora just smiled and whispered in my ear:

“This is a potion to make you unwillingly addicted

I am immune, so I cannot be conflicted.”

     She clicked her hoof on the ground, and I immediately stopped and fell to the floor.
